Chapter 1 Shop
Thirty miles outside Lin'an City. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info the fast horse whip for an hour, and the car for three hours.
There is a shop thirty miles outside the city, and there is only one shop within a radius of thirty miles. A pole at the door, a dirty flag with black characters on a white background, just one word, "food". There are two square tables in the shop, two square tables outside the door, each table is equipped with four stools, and I don't know if it is a table and stool that has been used for several generations, it is so tattered that it seems that it will all fall apart if you touch it lightly, but the desktop is shiny, I don't know if it is wiped clean, or it is too oily. There is a big stove against the wall inside the door, the black paint can be, if it is not for the fire tongue in the stove, I thought it was a pile of coal lumps, a big pot on the stove, and half a pot of water. During the day, the door is open, and at night several large boards pull the door. That's all the stuff in the shop.
There is a man with an ordinary figure, an ordinary face, not thick eyebrows, small eyes, not a straight nose, and not thick lips. A glass of snow plum wine on the table. When there are no guests, one sitting is a day. Snow bubble plum wine, which is sake, is not like shochu, and it is not so spicy in the throat. Rice wine, fragrant, less alcohol, soft taste, picked last year's snow plum, dried and stored with honey. Take it out before drinking, wrap it in a cloth bag, hang it in a rice wine jar, drink it after ten days, and you can't get drunk from morning to night.
This man is the shopkeeper of this shop, and he is also a buddy and a cook, surnamed Yang, with a single name and a southern character.
An old man came from afar and led a child, the old man looked very tired, a long shirt was very old, full of yellow dust, no patches, just old, not broken. Gray hair, gray eyebrows, beardless. The child was very elf, with two big eyes twinkling and not speaking, and looked as if he was only three or four years old, but he did not have the staggering that he should have.
"Shop, shop! The old man took the child and sat down at the table in the shop.
"Good. ”
"A small bowl and a little cleaner. ”
"Good. ”
"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something", the old man coughed and said, "Cough, is this still far from Lin'an City?"
"Thirty miles. ”
"Oh, not very far. The old man took out a handkerchief and wiped the table, "This table is a little greasy..."
"Qing Mizumian is here, and I'll give you another bowl. ”
"This side is cleaner than the table, hehe. The old man slowly divided the noodles into a small bowl, poured some soup, sandwiched the only green vegetable in the noodles into the small bowl, and sandwiched a noodle in the big bowl, chewed it carefully, and said softly, "Little master, please." ”
At this time, the child started to eat with chopsticks.
Feelings are master and servant, and I thought it was my grandson. Yang Nan thought in his heart. This old servant is very careful.
"Shop", the old servant coughed again, and said, "Ahem, you are a clear water, but you are different from others." ”
"Oh?"
The old servant cleared his throat, "On your side, you don't see any oil and water, but there is a faint fragrance, why is this?"
"Oh, I brushed the pot with ginger. Yang Nan said leisurely without raising his head.
"I see, I see, it's fun, it's funny haha, cough cough cough. The old servant smiled and coughed. Waiting for the child to finish eating the noodles, he took out a small ingot of crushed silver from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table, "I hope there is still a chance to eat the noodles you made in the store again." Leave. With that, he took the child and walked to Lin'an City. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
It's still snow bubble plum wine, simple, don't need to heat it to drink, Yang Nan likes everything that seems simple but is not simple, or things.
Da Da The dust raised will quickly knock down the flag.
"Hey, boy, have you seen an old man with a child coming!" The person who spoke, with a black face and beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, carried a steel nine-ring knife on his back, looking at the thickness of the knife body, nine steel rings on the back of the knife, the tip of the knife was flat, not protruding forward, the handle was slightly thin and bent, and there was a knife ring behind the handle, and a red silk was tied on the ring. "Hey, boy, don't you have ears to talk to you?"
Yang Nan didn't come out, but just raised his head, "I didn't see it." Would you like something to eat?"
"You!" the big man gestured to draw his sword.
A Confucian student in the back stopped the big man, "Second brother, big brother let us come out this time and not make trouble." "This person is dressed in a light blue robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, the sword is four feet two inches long, slender and long, the clothes are not brilliant, but the sword is very rich. The scabbard is inlaid with multicolored gemstones and trimmed with gold. Confucian Sheng grabbed the big man and said to Yang Nan, "Shopkeeper, let's eat, just fry a few side dishes." ”
"No side dishes, five catties of beef slices! Two jars of soju! His grandmother's!" the big man scolded and sat on the stool outside the door.
Yang Nan looked at Confucius, and Confuciusen smiled awkwardly, "It's just the second brother's, beef, soju, hehe." ”
Yang Nan turned around to prepare, served beef and soju, and looked at the third person by the way.
The third man doesn't talk much, has short hair, doesn't mess around, has a brown cloth coat, a black belt, a black forehead band, a faint stubble, and clean black boots. I saw Yang Nan serving the soju, taking a jar to the big man, and placing a jar in front of him, tearing the beef and chewing quietly.
"Second brother, this time the eldest brother asked us to come out, as long as we brought people back, I told us not to make any extraneous branches. Confucian said.
"What's the matter? If you want me to say, this time I will catch an old man and a child and go back, if you want me to say, I can do it alone! There is no need to send the three of us at all! Four tigers come out of three tigers, and the eldest brother should be too careful!"
It turned out to be the Gangneung Four Tigers. The big tiger Meng tasted the tiger, so that a gossip stick, act calmly, murderous and ruthless, now the rivers and lakes can no longer see their people, because in Chengdu Mansion to kill Jia rich businessman family of more than 100 people of all ages became famous, you must know that the rich businessman has a lot of good hands in the rivers and lakes, worried about the revenge of those good hands behind the master, fled to Jiangling, got to know the other three, all because of the name with a tiger character, they became brothers of the opposite sex, this is the Jiangling Four Tigers, in the rivers and lakes gradually have a climate.
The second tiger Zhang Huhu, my parents must have no culture, so the name is a little arbitrary. Zhang Huhu grew up with a large amount of food since he was a child, with great strength, at the age of fourteen, he grew tall and big, like an adult, because he was ridiculed by the neighborhood children, he impulsively killed the neighborhood family, and was driven out of the village by the villagers, and later heard that he was accepted as an apprentice by a high man, and practiced all the way to a good knife, but somehow he was driven out of the division, and anyone who laughed at his name would be killed by the two tigers, all the way to fight and kill, and to Jiangling, he broke out some crooked names.
The Three Tigers Li Wenhu, a person from Jiangling, was originally a scholar, but he couldn't get famous for a long time, so he gave up his literature and martial arts, challenged the master of the Gangneung Bagua Gate, won in three moves, and became famous in one battle. Don't covet anything else, just love all kinds of swordsmanship, a little bit of family background, all used on the sword.
The Four Tigers Wu is afraid of the tiger, I only know that he has practiced a golden bell jar, his fists are like copper hammers, and there are no rumors in other rivers and lakes.
After eating for a while, Li Wenhu, the third tiger, came to Yang Nan's table, "Shopkeeper, what kind of wine are you drinking? ”
"Rice wine brewed casually, brewed for fun. ”
"Hehe, shopkeeper, I'll ask you something," Li Wenhu said and took out a small money bag and pushed it over.
Yang Nan narrowed his eyes, "There isn't so much money for food." ”
"Alas, you're welcome, let's make friends," Li Wenhu said with a smile, "I want to ask you about a person, an old man, gray-haired, sven-talking, and maybe a child, there are no shops within a radius of dozens of miles, so ask the shopkeeper if he has seen it." Or have you seen anyone else?"
"I didn't see it. ”
"I said you're looking for a fight!" the second tiger Zhang Huhu pushed the table and stood up violently.
"I said I didn't see it, I didn't see it. Yang Nan accepted the money bag and checked it.
"If you don't see it, forget it, hehe, second brother, fourth brother, let's go. Li Wenhu stood in front of Yang Nan, pushed Zhang Huhu, and got on the horse.
It seems that the rivers and lakes are not too peaceful, Yang Nan cleaned up the table and muttered, "Either it will be too peaceful." ”
