Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu left the inn and walked east according to Ye Xiuying's instructions.

Xiang Tianyu said: "You haven't answered me yet? Why are you going to find Ouyang Zhan?"

Nangong Chengdao: "Don't ask, you will know when we find Ouyang Zhan."

Xiang Tianyu nodded.

Nangong Cheng took out a silver hairpin and a handkerchief from his body. The handkerchief was embroidered with two lifelike flowers and butterflies. He handed the silver hairpin and handkerchief to Xiang Tianyu and said, "For you!"

Xiang Tianyu never used a handkerchief, but now that Nangong Cheng gave it to her, she didn't take it back and said, "Thank you!"

Nangong Cheng smiled and wanted to move on.

"Alas!" Xiang Tianyu shouted to Nangong Cheng.

Nangong Cheng looked at Xiang Tianyu and said, "What are you doing?"

Xiang Tianyu said: "Please help me put on this silver hairpin!"

Nangong Cheng nodded and inserted the silver hairpin into Xiang Tianyu's head.

Xiang Tianyu smiled and said, "Does it look good?"

Nangong Cheng nodded and said, "It looks good."

Xiang Tianyu said: "Thank you, sir."

Nangong Cheng smiled, and the two of them continued on their way.

The next morning, Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu came to a small town called "Siping".

Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu were walking in this small town, but every house in the town was closed, and the wind blew through the town, giving people bursts of coolness and making people feel extremely desolate.

Xiang Tianyu said: "Ms. sir, is there no one here?"

Nangong Cheng thought for a while and came to a house. He first touched the door with his hand and found that there was no dust on the door.

Xiang Tianyu said: "If no one lived there, dust would have fallen on the door. Now there is no dust on the door, which means someone lives in it. But why are they gone?"

Nangong Cheng shook his head. He didn't know why, so he knocked on the door and shouted: "Is anyone here?"

No one in the room responded.

Xiang Tianyu said: "Did the people inside get out?"

Nangong Chengdao said: "Even if we go out, there will always be a few housekeepers left, so it's impossible for everyone to go out." After saying that, he pushed lightly with his hand and the door opened.

There is a table and four benches in the center of the room. On the table are eight plates of food, a bamboo tube with chopsticks and a pot of wine.

Xiang Tianyu said happily: "It seems that the people here know that we are hungry, so they have prepared wine and food to entertain us."

"Wait a moment!" Nangong Cheng pulled Xiang Tianyu.

"I didn't push very hard just now, and the door opened, which means that the door is not locked, which means that someone specially prepared it for us." Nangong Cheng looked at Xiang Tianyu and said, "You are here.

Do you know anyone?"

Xiang Tianyu smiled and shook his head, saying: "No."

Nangong Chengdao: "Neither do I. I'm afraid it's a bad intention to entertain us to eat for no reason, so we'd better be careful."

Xiang Tianyu thought for a while and suddenly thought of the silver hairpin on his head. He smiled and said to Nangong Cheng, "I have an idea!" After saying that, he walked in and came to the table.

Nangong Cheng followed Xiang Tianyu. He touched the bench again and found that the bench was very clean. Looking around at the walls, he found that the surroundings were also clean and quiet. It was so quiet that it was so quiet.

Very abnormal.

Xiang Tianyu looked at Nangong Cheng with a solemn expression, so he took off a silver hairpin from his head and inserted it into eight dishes. The silver hairpin was still the same. Xiang Tianyu showed Nangong Cheng the silver hairpin and said, "Don't be suspicious.

, you see it’s not poisonous!” After saying that, she jumped out of her body

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the silver hairpin, then inserted it back into his head. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and went to pick up vegetables. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.

"Wait!" Nangong Cheng quickly held Xiang Tianyu's hand holding the chopsticks, took off the silver hairpin from Xiang Tianyu's head, and stabbed the piece of meat that Xiang Tianyu picked up. After a while, the silver hairpin

turned black.

Xiang Tianyu was startled, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground along with the meat. She said, "How could this happen?"

Nangong Cheng smiled and said, "What do you think are the characteristics of these eight dishes?"

Xiang Tianyu glanced at the eight dishes and said, "These eight dishes are all meat dishes."

Nangong Chengdao: "What else?"

Xiang Tianyu looked at the eight dishes and didn't answer.

Nangong Chengdao: "These eight plates of vegetables are cut so small that people can pick them up with chopsticks. Moreover, these dishes are very greasy, but in order to prevent people from eating them with their hands, the cooks put oil on them.

It’s coated with oil, am I right?”

Xiang Tianyu glanced at the eight dishes and said, "Yes."

Nangong Cheng took out the handkerchief from Xiang Tianyu's body, wiped the silver hairpin clean, and inserted it back into Xiang Tianyu's head, saying: "So, even a defensive person like you, who has tried the poison with the silver hairpin,

From now on, you will naturally eat it with confidence. But when you see so much oil in these dishes, you will definitely not be able to eat them with your hands, so you will naturally use chopsticks in bamboo tubes. And the cooks will apply poison on the chopsticks.

, when you use chopsticks to pick up vegetables and eat them, the poison will be eaten. This is what the teacher's wife said, there is no free lunch in the world, if you still want to eat these vegetables, then grab them with your hands."

Xiang Tianyu looked disgusted and said, "If you get that oil on your hands, it should be difficult to wash it off, right? Forget it, I'd rather not eat it."

Nangong Cheng saw Xiang Tianyu wanting to eat and started thinking of a way. Xiang Tianyu also started thinking of a way. In the end, both of them laughed.

Nangong Chengdao: "I thought of a way to eat these dishes."

Xiang Tianyu said: "I also thought of a way to eat these dishes."

Nangong Chengdao: "I hope we have the same idea."

Xiang Tianyu nodded, picked up two pairs of chopsticks, and wiped them completely with a handkerchief. The handkerchief was originally white, but after wiping the chopsticks, the area where the chopsticks were wiped turned black.

Xiang Tianyu said: "It's a pity that we have a good handkerchief, now we can eat it."

Nangong Cheng smiled and said, "Don't be sorry. If you like it, I will buy you a new one at the next market. It will definitely be better than this one."

"No! I only want something worse than this one." Xiang Tianyu said.

Nangong Cheng was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Xiang Tianyu smiled and said: "A good handkerchief is used to wipe poison, so it's a pity to throw it away; a bad handkerchief is used to wipe poison, so it's just a throw away. It's a pity not to mention it."

Nangong Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "I understand."

"Then let's eat!" Xiang Tianyu said and picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks.

"Wait!" Nangong Cheng said: "Try it again with the silver hairpin."

"It's not that troublesome, right?" Xiang Tianyu said.

Nangong Chengdao: "How are you sure that the handkerchief wiped off the poison on the chopsticks?"

Xiang Tianyu nodded, thinking that what Nangong Cheng said made sense, so he picked up a piece of braised pork and tried it again with the silver hairpin. The silver hairpin did not turn black.

"You can eat it now." Nangong Cheng also picked up a piece of braised pork and prepared to put it into his mouth.

"Wait!" Xiang Tianyu said.

Nangong Chengdao: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Tianyu said to the wall: "Thank you for the hospitality, we are welcome."

I'm angry." After saying that, he said to Nangong Cheng: "Eat!"

So Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu started eating.

After a while.

Nangong Chengdao: "Are you full?"

Xiang Tianyu nodded and said, "I'm full."

"Then let's go!" Nangong Cheng said.

So the two of them got up and prepared to go out, but as soon as they turned around, the door suddenly closed.

"You two just wanted to leave like this after eating our food. I'm afraid it's not that easy!" A strong man's voice sounded in the room.

Nangong Cheng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality. May I ask your surname?"

"It's easy to say that my surname is Ding Hu, and he is one of the three kings of Siping Mountain. Today, you two came to Siping Town. If you don't leave something behind, you won't be able to get out." The majestic man's voice said.

"Hahahaha——" Nangong Cheng said with a smile: "I wonder what you want?"

Ding Hu said: "If you are an ordinary person, you only need to leave three to five taels of silver. If you are a person like you, in addition to leaving the money, you also have to leave the girl next to you for my elder brother to do."

Mrs. Yazhai."

"Brother?" Nangong Cheng said.

Ding Hu said: "Exactly."

Nangong Chengdao: "You just said that you are the three kings, so you have two brothers above you?"

Ding Hu said: "Yes."
