Smoked sparrows, charcoal-grilled wild boars, and supper made of sorghum cakes, and even a jar of drunken monkeys.

When the little boy brought these food and drinks, Li Muye couldn't help but sigh: This is a Jianghu meal. From this, it is determined that this child has a teacher's background.

For example, this sparrow belongs to the folk cuisine, not in the elegant hall, but it is a very rare delicacy, there are eats everywhere, as the saying goes, one or two finch, four or two ginseng, one or two birds are better than half a catty of animals. There are many ways to concoct sparrows, the rougher ones are directly burned in the fire, and some of the most exquisite Jianghu people like to smoke.

The sparrow must be caught with the bait of the red sorghum, which mainly lives in the mountains, eats grass seeds, drinks mountain springs, and only eats sorghum among the grains. The natural flavor is extraordinary. The sorghum has a certain medicinal effect, which plays a role in the stomach, strengthening the spleen, dissipating accumulation, warming, astringency of the stomach and intestines, and stopping cholera. Drill-sky sorghum only grows in the mountains at an altitude of 600 meters, and it can be blown in eight directions and drink rootless water, so the yield per mu is very small. But it's the favorite thing of the black-capped bins.

In the past, there were people in the old rivers and lakes who were good at this. Collect the September red diamond sorghum as bait, pull the net to catch the birds, and there are thousands of them in one catch. After taking away the stomach of the bird, it is then set on fire with sorghum stalks and smoked with herbs. A good smoked sparrow can last up to three summers without spoiling. The reason why the sparrow's stomach was taken away was for the sake of the undigested sorghum in the stomach. Binque's grass seeds are eaten for a living, and the herb paste is born in the stomach, and the sorghum absorbs a large amount of herb essence before it is eaten and digested, and this material is ground into flour, mixed with black bean flour to make sorghum cakes. After a long time, all diseases will not be born.

Zhang Fenglai will do these two rare things, and there must be a heritage. As far as Li Muye knows, the people in the rivers and lakes on this road used to be called Huainan Baoke. The Jianghu people of this faction regard Liu An, the king of Huainan, as their ancestors, and they have spent their lives looking for dragons and treasures as their business, not seeking great wealth and wealth, but only seeking a transcendent thing.

Liu An was a great thinker and writer in the Western Han Dynasty, and he was also the most famous scholar in history. He was also the world's first practitioner of hot air balloon lift-off and the founder of Chinese tofu. He once recruited thousands of guests and magicians, and compiled "Honglie", also known as "Huainanzi", which is regarded by the academic community as an epoch-making academic masterpiece in the history of Chinese thought, with 21 articles in the book, 33 articles in the outside, and miscellaneous articles in the outside.

To this day, only 21 official records have been preserved. It is mainly based on Taoist thought, blending Confucianism, Yin and Yang, etc., and generally lists Huainanzi as a miscellaneous family. In fact, this book is guided by Taoist thought, absorbing the hundred schools of thought, and integrating them, which can be called a representative work of the theoretical system of Huang Lao from the Warring States Period to the early Han Dynasty. When expounding the philosophy, he touched on strange things, ghosts, gods and spirits, and preserved some mythological materials, such as "Nuwa mends the sky", "Houyi shoots the sun", "Gonggong angrily touches the Zhou Mountain", "Chang'e runs to the moon", "Dayu controls the water" and other ancient myths, which are mainly circulated by this book.

The academic community regards this book as the highest art of the academy and temple, but some people in the rivers and lakes regard the miscellaneous studies of this book as a complete set of magic theories. There is even a gateway to rivers and lakes derived from this, which is called Huainan Gate. The person who came out of this door is also called Huainan Baoke.

Li Muye pointed out all kinds of strange origins of Zhang Fenglai like a few family treasures, and the child was convinced by what he said, and finally told the truth.

As Li Muye expected, he really has a heritage, and the person who taught him how to use thaumaturgy is Yang Xiaofeng's father, that is, his grandfather. Li Muye asked him what his grandfather's name was, and he said that his name was Yang Chitose, and the locals called him Yang Crazy. Pigs and sheep are slaughtered for people, and large animals such as donkeys, horses, cows, and mules are also killed.

Li Muye was secretly taken aback when he heard Yang Qiansui's name. I remember that Xu Yangchen once said that there are six heavenly kings on the martial arts list, and one of them is called Yang Qiansui, who is called by Xu Daoren, who was at the top of the literary list forty years ago, and the heavenly king of the martial arts list forty years later. It can be described as a hero of both civil and military affairs. And this person is from Huainan Gate.

Unexpectedly, this famous figure on the civil and military list is actually Zhang Jinliang's father-in-law.

There is a small four-story building in the county, built in the early eighties, which really stood out from the crowd for several years, so it is also called a four-story building. In those years it even became a bus stop. The owner of this small building is Yang Chitose. At that time, Yang Qiansui was known as the richest man in the county, he was bold, righteous and squandering money, and his business footprints were all over China, and he had friends everywhere in the north and south of the Yellow River.

In the early 90s, for some reason, the family road suddenly fell, and in the end, the creditor was tired, and even the four-story small building was compensated to others. Yang Chitose didn't care, the business couldn't go on, so he stayed in the city to kill pigs and sheep for a living. Zhang Fenglai's mother Yang Xiaofeng is Yang Chitose's only daughter, when she was young, she lived a good life of brocade clothes and jade food, but when she grew up, her mother ran away with a southern honey catcher, and Yang Chitose made the decision to marry her to Zhang Jinliang.

The year Zhang Fenglai was born, during Yang Xiaofeng's pregnancy, it was difficult for Zhang Jinliang to go home in the army, Yang Qiansui often came to visit, and every time he came, he would not be empty-handed, and often made some soup such as mountain roots, grass, fruits, animal hearts, and poultry livers to supplement the nutrition of his daughter. Back then, the old Zhang family had a tight life, and they couldn't eat a few mouthfuls of meat all year round, but these things brought by Yang Qiansui were still quite popular with Yang Xiaofeng.

Later, Zhang Fenglai, who landed and didn't cry, was born, and he could roll on the kang three days after birth, he could climb everywhere in the full moon, and he could walk on the wall in the moon. Yang Xiaofeng likes to play mahjong and dance, and thinks Zhang Fenglai is cumbersome, so after the child grows his first teeth, he is often sent by Yang Xiaofeng to his father's house in the county seat. This ability is the foundation that Yang Chitose has laid since he was a child.

Yang Qiansui is quite ancient, born in the reckless rivers and lakes, but he is not a vulgar person. Although he is not full of economy, he is also a person who advocates sages and sages, and has both benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom and faith. Naturally, some of his outlook on life and living habits had a profound impact on Zhang Fenglai.

Li Muye has heard of Yang Qiansui's name for a long time, and knows that this person has a high status in the rivers and lakes, and he is still above Huo Ze and his ilk. But he never thought that such a heroic character was just a person who killed pigs and dogs in a small county town. Isn't this the demeanor of a true out-of-the-world master?

This kid can't drink a few glasses of wine, after all, he is the age of a young man's vigorous nature, and he can't pretend to be in front of Li Muye, the old Jianghu, and he can't pretend to be in front of Li Muye, three glasses of wine, and a few words are set out of all the information he knows about Yang Qiansui.

This boy is stoic, bold and ruthless, and his talent is higher than that of Zhang Jinliang, and he can be called a natural assassin killer. Li Muye had already moved his heart to love talent, and instead of letting him turn himself in and suffer ten years in prison in vain, it was better to bring him to Moscow to cultivate.

In this life, there is only a hundred years of time, princes and generals, and peddlers and pawns, which are just the talk of later generations after tea and dinner. So the length is secondary, and living is not for others to see. The key is how you feel. Whether it is meaningful and interesting depends on whether it has lived the way you want to live. The poet said that I am born to be useful, and one sentence sums up the true meaning of a fun life. Everyone's talent is different, and the important thing is whether you can find a path that suits you.

Li Muye asked him, "Do you like guns?"

The boy was silent for a long time, his eyes glinting eagerly, and he nodded first and then sighed.

"I mean ask yourself what you think, and then go and meet with Mr. Yang. ”

"As long as my grandfather agrees, I will go with you!" Zhang Fenglai immediately said: "Tomorrow I will take you to the county seat to see my grandfather." ”

??????

The small county town is located in a remote area, the central street is less than three miles long, except for the fifteen-storey, royal and magnificent county government building, there are no other particularly prominent buildings. Yang Chitose lives near a dry depression, dozens of low houses with independent courtyards, and a white fruit tree in the courtyard is.

Li Muye and Xiaofen followed Zhang Fenglai and walked outside the courtyard. I saw that the adobe wall was stained with blood-colored stains, exuding a faint fishy smell, the courtyard door was open, and looking inside, there was a Mercedes-Benz S600 parked under the white fruit tree, which was somewhat inconsistent with the dilapidated and poor acid of the entire area.

"Is there a guest here?"

Zhang Fenglai held a can of old royal jelly, glanced at the car with no surprise, and said: "It's nothing, this is the car of Changqing Mountain Baiyuntang, that person is here to eat and drink in the name of playing chess with his grandfather." So saying, he turned around and walked into the corner with the jar in his hand, lifted the entrance to a cellar, and after walking a short time came up empty-handed, explaining, "You can't let the man see it, or there will be nothing left." ”

"Your grandfather is a master of the world, and it is not surprising that he has some special friends. ”

"What kind of worldly master is a beggar leader. Zhang Fenglai said childishly: "This is what my grandfather said, he said that the world is chaotic, upside down, in the past, the people who asked for food wore tattered clothes, thin skin and bones, and they were dirty to get a bite to eat, and now the rice has changed completely, the emphasis is on blowing, playing and singing, the skin should be good-looking, the dress should be high-class, what you want is a big money to make a windfall, on the real ability, not to mention the lotus iron through the crotch, the return to the furnace brick hammer chest, even a lotus flower can not be sung." ”

Xiao Fen was a little confused when she heard this, and looked at Li Muye with an inquiring gaze.

"Lotus iron crotch refers to the golden bell jar to a certain level can lock that thing in the stomach, can withstand the blow of lotus iron, this lotus iron is a kind of Qimen weapon in the past, made into a lotus bone look, the lower handle is like the stem of the lotus, is also made of iron. Li Muye explained: "Returning to the furnace brick to beat the chest, that is, to soak the bricks with white vinegar and then return to the furnace, and then take it to your chest to greet you, and the smashing is miserable, in fact, the bricks are soft, the skin does not hurt the flesh, and the ones that have no way are also forged with white flour." ”

As for the lotus fall, it is the beggar begging and singing the play, the content is mainly to persuade the world, promote the good and punish the evil, karma, please ask for alms, auspicious lip color, most of the singing is pretending to be blind, two people together, one singing a gang, each holding an evergreen branch, decorated with many red paper flowers, for the lotus flower, between the branches with a string of thread money, for shaking, "swish, swish" sound, help beat the beat, so the name lotus falls, also known as falling away from the lotus or cash cow. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a high-pitched and loud shouting sound from the house, and then someone sang like a chime through a golden cracked stone: "My life is like a gull on the water, and I carry a bamboo cane through Nanzhou." The rice bag is full of waning moon in the evening, and the song board sings the dawn of autumn in the wind. Kick the dust world with two feet, and pick up the sorrows of the past and the present with one shoulder. Now that you don't eat, why should the yellow dog bark?"

"This poem is really a good mood!" Xiao Fen couldn't help but praise it.

Li Muye said with a solemn expression: "It seems that we are going to meet a master today......
