"Daddy, just have pity on me, I'll eat one meal a day and work hard for you......"

"Little wild seed, who is your father, your father is lying on Yantang Mountain! That is the treasure land of the left green dragon and the right white tiger, get out of me! How can my old Lei family have spare money to raise you bastard...... After that, there was another whip swing and the child's heart-rending scream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn this rainy autumn night, the child's cry is particularly clear and miserable, which is very unbearable to listen to.

Follow the sound to find it, it is in Huxi Village at the foot of Yantang Mountain, there are dozens of acres of paddy fields under the mountain, dozens of thatched huts are scattered on the edge of the fields, and the outdoor surface of every household is surrounded by bamboo fences, and the lights are turned off. The fierce roar and the cry of the child startled the dogs in the village for a while, and the dogs barked one after another. But no one turned on the lights to come out to persuade them, and no one even opened the window and poked their heads out to take a look.

I saw that the more the big man scolded, the more tyrannical he became, and when he lifted the child like a chicken, he fell to the ground hard, lifted his big feet full of oil stains and mud, stepped on the child's head first, and then kicked the child to the ground and rolled for a while.

"If you don't get out, I'll kill you," the big man roared. After that, pick up a pig-killing knife, take a step, and stab it. At this moment, a woman rushed in from outside the door and grabbed the big man's arms violently. This woman is thirty years old, with a graceful posture, a good face, and a peach cheek with a cherry mouth. She cried and hugged the big man and cried, "Lei Da, you spare him, he is still a child, you can give him a way to live, I beg you...... I will make you a cow and a horse in the future, and I will never complain!"

The fierce man is called Lei Biao, in his forties, tall and fierce, with a thick beard and black face, and is a butcher in the nearby towns and villages, and has been killing pigs for a living. At this time, he roared and jumped as if he was crazy, "Let him go, if he doesn't get out, I'll chop him up and feed it to the dogs......"

The woman knelt down and raised her face and wept, "Lei Da! Although Feng'er is not your flesh and blood, but I am my own, he is only fourteen years old, and he has no relatives outside, where do you tell him to go...... I beg you to have mercy on him, and I will make sure that he will not make you angry......" The woman wept silently.

After hearing this, Lei Biao was unmoved, his eyes were up, and he slapped the woman's little face twice, causing her to bleed from the corners of her mouth and fall to the ground. "Liu Yanniang, my brother who was killed by his father died in prison, you don't know, right? My Lei family was also a well-known family in Fengjiang City, if it weren't for Jiang Fengying to buy the official mansion and frame us for secretly communicating with Caokou, we would have ended up in today's field! It is already for your sake to let him get out alive. Don't cry for me, I don't eat this set. Also, you are the uncle, I bought it for two hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels of silver...... Do you know it, I bought it," and then opened his bow left and right, and the big slap of the pu fan, opened the flowers in the woman's face like a storm.

At this time, the young man did not cry. He looked at her mother blankly, suddenly turned his head and stretched out his fingers, looked at Lei Biao coldly, and shouted, "Let go of my mother...... I'll leave right away...... You remember, when I grow up, I will come back and kill you!" The last sentence was said in a high-pitched tone and cold words, and it actually suppressed that Lei Biao. The boy turned around and ran out of the yard. He didn't look back, only heard the heart-rending cry of the woman behind him, "Son, don't leave your mother, your mother will go with you..."

The thunder tiger laughed wildly, kicked the door shut with his legs, and wiped his bearded mouth on the woman's face, and said with a lewd smile: "Little beauty, don't want to run, the scourge is gone, I promise not to beat you again, hurry up and give birth to a fat boy for me next year... Hahahaha......"

This woman's name is Liu Yanniang, she was originally a concubine in the mansion surnamed Jiang in Fengjiang City, and she was pitifully accepted into the house by the Jiang family in the tenth year, and the old man Jiang drove the crane back to the west. After the death of Master Jiang, several big houses had long been jealous of Liu Yanniang's mother and son, so they bought off Mr. Accounts in total, and regarded Liu Yanniang's mother and son as the Jiang family's indentured house slaves, and sold them to Lei Biao, the enemy of Master Jiang, for two hundred taels of silver.

Poor Jiang Feng has grown up under the beating and tyranny of this stepfather in the past four years, in his innocent heart, he has been cold and tenacious since he was a child, he hates these people around him, and even hates why his mother brought him into this world, at this moment he just wants to grow up and become stronger as soon as possible.

The night wind mixed with the stars and raindrops smashed on Jiang Feng's bare skin, Jiang Feng shuddered, he looked up at the swarthy mountain, like the black shadow of a huge monster pressing down on him.

Jiang Feng thought in his heart: "At such a late hour, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain, and now when you go up the mountain, you may be eaten by wild beasts." It's better to go to Fengjiang City, it's an overnight journey, maybe you can get there tomorrow morning, and it's better to ask for food there than to follow Lei Biao. After making up his mind, Jiang Feng broke off the two banana leaves next to the fence, put them on his head to block the rain, and rushed to Fengjiang City.

At dawn, Jiang Feng had left Huxi Village far away and came to Jiangwan Town, a town that was not small, which was still more than 100 miles away from Fengjiang City, but after rushing overnight, Jiang Feng had not entered the water and rice, and he was already exhausted, and stopped at the back door of a kitchen in a daz. He couldn't walk!

At this time, the kitchen had already started, and the back hall was crowded, and the guys were busy with breakfast, and the smell was so fragrant, and the slightest steam was floating out of the steamer as big as a bathtub, filling the entire back hall. Thick white porridge was boiling in a large cauldron, and the proprietress was stirring and sprinkling pickles into it. The shouting in the kitchen came and went, and it was a lively scene.

Jiang Feng gurgled in his stomach for a while, looked at it with his eyes, and didn't know how long, when he suddenly spilled out the dishwashing water and drenched him.

A round face poked out of the back of the kitchen, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry little brother, I didn't see you just now" Jiang Feng said: "No... It's okay."

The round face smiled, retracted his head, and after a cup of tea, another young man poked his head out, saw Jiang Feng still standing there, turned around and said, "Daddy, I see this person is pitiful, let him in." The round face rubbed the flour crumbs on his hands, walked out and said, "Little brother, I still have some porridge here, if you are hungry, come in and eat." ”

Jiang Feng looked at them in a daze, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Okay, thank you." ”

Jiang Feng actually hadn't eaten for almost a day and a night, and when he was hungry and thirsty on the way, he drank some mountain spring fruits. At this time, when I saw the fragrant pickle porridge and the big white flour steamed buns, my eyes were green, I raised my neck, drank four bowls of porridge in one go, and ate eight big white flour steamed buns. The round face smiled, looked at Jiang Feng's gobbling up, and said, "We still have one less chores, if you can do it, you can eat every day." ”

Jiang Feng stopped the chopsticks in his hand, looked straight at his round face, and said, "But I can eat it very well." ”

The round face said: "Are you still afraid of big-bellied customers who open restaurants?"

Jiang Feng agreed without thinking about it: "Master, just say it, what do you want me to do!"

After dawn, Jiang Feng knew that this place was called "Thyme" restaurant. The round-faced man is naturally the master, and his name is Fang Changgui. So Jiang Feng washed the dishes, brushed the dishes, killed the chickens, and dried everything every day. Jiang Feng has suffered since he was a child, and now he can have a full meal, and he is very grateful to the other party Changgui's family, working very hard and never complaining. Changgui also likes Jiang Feng's diligence more and more, and he doesn't treat him as an outsider.

This Jiangwan town is not big or small, the Maple River plays a bay here, so it is named Jiangwan Town, there is a market here, the business is also quite developed, and the business travelers from the south to the north will rest here in Jiangwan, so the population is also dense. "Thyme" is one of the best restaurants in town. Gangs near and far, entertainment at the entrance of the hall, and weddings and funerals of ordinary people will choose to buy in "thyme". Time flies quickly, Jiang Feng has been working in the "Thyme" restaurant for two months.

On this day, the owner of the restaurant, Boss Feng, ran to the back hall to stop Fang Changgui and said: "Changgui, today is the owner of Heshun Oil Mill who is the owner of the Shenbing Gate, he specially takes care of my whole few dishes with the right taste, you deal with it carefully, now the Shenbing Gate is becoming more and more powerful on the Maple River, it is our big customer, you have to serve well." ”

Changgui cautiously agreed: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I'm ready, if you're worried, I'll open a menu for you to see first, and then the ingredients." ”

Shopkeeper Feng said: "That's not necessary, I still can't trust you, it's just that the guys below should keep an eye on it and don't make any mistakes." ”

"Okay, don't worry, shopkeeper. Changgui replied: "If these little cubs are frizzy at work, I will fan them with big ears." ”

After Boss Feng left, Changgui gathered the guys together, explained the menu of today's banquet, and told everyone to do their work carefully, and pluck out chicken feathers, duck feathers, pig feathers, etc.

As soon as Jiang Feng heard about the Divine Soldier Gate, he knew that it was a gang of rivers and lakes, although he was familiar with it, he didn't know it very well, so he grabbed Changgui's son Fang Liang and asked, "Xiao Liangzi, this Divine Soldier Gate is very big, I haven't seen the master so serious for a long time?"

Fang Liang looked at Jiang Feng with a smile and said: "Brother Xiao Jiang, you are too lonely and unheard, this Divine Soldier Gate is one of the best sects on our Maple River, the mines on the Qiling Mountain on the edge of the Maple River, the medicinal materials, the salt transportation on the river, and the gambling houses, brothels, and armory shops in Fengjiang City are all the industries of the Divine Soldier Gate. The master of the Shenbing Gate sent a sentence, in our case, it is more useful than the emperor Lao Tzu! What is coming today is a deputy hall master of the Flying Tiger Hall of the Shenbing Gate, and he is famous in our Jiangwan Town, and the landlords and gentlemen of ten miles and eight towns are all stammering to make friends with him, as long as they climb the backer of the Shenbing Gate, it will be a source of wealth. ”

"So powerful," Jiang Feng muttered to himself, "Then we must see and know." ”
