Walking the rivers and lakes, in fact, there are many rules and scruples. If you accidentally violate one of them, you don't know when you'll get into trouble.

Predecessors have summed it up. These rules can be broadly summarized into seven rules.

One: Don't cause trouble and meddle in things.

2. Don't make strange friends at will.

Three: Do not gamble money.

Four: Do not have a grudge with monks and beggars.

Five: Don't reveal your money.

Six: Don't be gullible in people's words.

Seven: Do not associate with strange women.

The last one, in particular, is the most important. You must know that women are all red faces. There are especially many bad women in the rivers and lakes. Even if you have the skills to the sky, your martial arts are world-famous. But as long as you get a bad woman, you will have endless troubles from now on, and you can't get rid of it anymore.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is difficult to see whether a person is bad or not, just by appearance. So if you want not to get involved with bad women, it's best not to associate with any strange women. At this point, before Cheng Li set off, Ling Yushi had told him a thousand times.

But now, Cheng Li and the little girl he just met, sitting in a small restaurant next to the broken bridge, sitting opposite each other and drinking. There are also four-color dim sum and four-style dishes on the table.

The four-color dim sum is fresh meat xiaolong, happy double, cat ears, and glutinous rice vegetarian roast goose. The four dishes are West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, and Hupao vegetarian ham. Not only is it delicious, but it also has an elegant color, and you don't need to eat it in your mouth, just looking at it is already a great treat. What's more, there is also wine.

The wine is the culmination of a decade-old wine. It's faint, and the entrance is soft, but the stamina is very strong. Two or three bowls of belly will make people feel drunk and fluttering, and the whole person will be comfortable from head to toe, from the inside to the outside.

Cheng Li likes this feeling very much. So I drank two or three bowls, then two or three bowls, and then two or three more bowls. More than a dozen two or three bowls came at once, and they still looked like they were still unsatisfied.

The wine bowl here has four taels in one bowl. People in Hangzhou are generally able to drink alcohol. It's not uncommon to drink six or seven bowls. But if a young man like Cheng Li, who is in the wind in Yushu, actually drinks five or six catties a lot, it will be a little strange.

What's more, the little girl in the light green shirt who sat and drank with Cheng Li actually drank no less than Cheng Li, which is really a rarity among the strange.

So all of a sudden, many guests around the restaurant began to notice Cheng Li and the little girl.

Cheng Li never cares what others think. So although there are many people who pay attention to him, he doesn't care at all. But this little girl, who seems to be very handsome and shy, actually turned a blind eye to the eyes around her, and just talked and laughed with Cheng Li.

The words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and the wine is less than a thousand glasses for a confidant. Although Cheng Li and this little girl are not confidants, the two of them have drunk at least hundreds of glasses of wine together.

So Cheng Li not only told the little girl his name. At the same time, I also knew that this little girl's surname was Xie and her name was Xie Xiaoqing.

Men and women do not kiss each other. The girl's house, which has not yet left the cabinet, should never have told a big man about her name. However, the children of the rivers and lakes naturally do not have so many rules and scruples.

Well, that's right. Xie Xiaoqing does call himself a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes. And according to herself, her martial arts are very powerful, and she is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, almost to the level of the head of the Seven Great Sword Sects, the head of the Eight Great Families, and the leader of the Ten Great Gangs.

All right. Although no matter whether Cheng Li looked left or right, up and down, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see that Xie Xiaoqing was so powerful. But anyway, that's what she said, and Cheng Li just listened to it.

The two drank two or three jars of Huadiao in succession, and the wine and conversation were strong. Suddenly, the curtain of the restaurant opened, and two more people walked in. But they are old and young, all dressed as Taoist priests. The old Taoist priest's hair and beard were already gray, but he was still very neatly groomed. The little Taoist priest is only about eleven or twelve years old. The two eyes are dark and very clever.

The shopkeeper seems to be very familiar with the old and young Taoist priests. When he saw them coming in, he greeted them with a smile: "Daoist Gu, let's tell the story again." Hi, don't say it. Without you telling stories here, my small shop's business has fallen by 20% recently. ”

The old Taoist priest glared: "What do you tell a story? What my old Gu tells is a genuine real person." It took a lot of effort to collect it back on the rivers and lakes. In your case, that's cheaper for you. You know what?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Yes, yes." What you Gu Daoist said really can't be true. It's just our decades of old friendship that you are willing to come to me to say. Otherwise, if you go to the outside of the building and sit down, the audience will not be full. ”

Daoist Gu nodded with satisfaction and chose a table to sit down. Said: "Shopkeeper, first come to a pot of wine to quench your thirst." Boiled green beans and dried beans are also served in two plates. ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and told the shopkeeper to prepare. He shouted to the customers in the store: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to know what new and interesting things are in the rivers and lakes? Do you want to know what strange people and strange people are in the martial arts? If you want to hear it, then wash your ears and listen to what Taoist Gu has to say." Everyone has money to hold a money field, and some people have a personal field. ”

It can be seen that the shopkeeper has a really good relationship with the old Taoist. Before the old Taoist priest could speak, the shopkeeper had already begun to take the initiative to solicit guests for him.

The so-called martial arts people, the so-called rivers and lakes. Although it is the same to eat and dress, the same flesh and blood. But the world they live in is very different from ordinary people. For ordinary people, the rivers and lakes are always full of all kinds of excitement. Although you can't experience it yourself, it's good to hear their stories and satisfy your curiosity.

That's why the shopkeeper spoke, and there was already applause everywhere in the small restaurant. Some people have even begun to mention cheering

Listening to this applause and cheers, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and seemed to enjoy it greatly.

At this time, the shopkeeper also brought the wine and food. The little Taoist priest was quick to pour a cup for the master first. The old Taoist priest drank two glasses of wine and ate a piece of braised tofu, then put down his chopsticks, coughed and cleared his throat, and said: "The paragraph I want to talk about today is divided into sects, and the black god king starts in Liaodong, and he is free in the north of Xiaoyao Town." The wolf's ambition is to help Sang Kou, and his soul is broken off and sold overseas in the gold cave. ”

Cheng Li sat three tables away from the old Taoist. He didn't care about these things like that. But Xie Xiaoqing was very curious and excited. When he saw the old Taoist priest sitting down, he stopped talking, and sat down attentively to listen to the story. Cheng Li couldn't, so he had to listen to it together.

This is Jiangnan, it's Hangzhou. I thought that even if the old Taoist priest wanted to say it, at most he would just say something about Jiangnan martial arts. But suddenly, I heard what Liaodong, what Fusang, what Pinjin Grotto. Cheng Liden was stunned, and subconsciously gave birth to a three-point vigilance.
