In the ring, another tryer came up, even through the clothes, the outline of his muscles could be faintly seen, his eyebrows were full of confidence, and he hugged his fists at people in all directions, and it seemed that the matter of lifting the big tripod was inevitable. In the stands, Yuan Shuxin didn't know where to slip away for a long time, leaving only her personal maid Yu Yu sitting in the position that originally belonged to her, looking at the crowd below in a daze boredly.

This is already the two hundred and forty-ninth people, and the people who came up before are all very confident without exception, but those people are also without exception, and none of them can lift the tripod. Their plot is basically the same: grasp the Ding to use the strength to eat, the face is flushed, but the Ding does not move at all, and then they sigh and sigh to step down, occasionally one or two with a little more strength, that is, to lift the Ding a little bit, from the so-called "lifting" but I don't know how much. The people who watched the excitement changed batch after batch, and the people who went to the ring changed one after another, but Yu Yu kept sitting here, and he was about to go crazy when he was bored. She kept tapping her hand on the arm of the chair, looking tired and tired.

Sure enough, the man also failed, and he got out of the ring with a red face, not knowing whether to be ashamed or embarrassed, and the crowd let out a burst of sneer, waiting for the next person for their amusement to come on stage. Yu Yu let out a long sigh, and said in his heart when will this martial arts competition end, are these people stupid and won't weigh their own weight? When this tripod was moved up, it used eight strong men, and even if they were like that, it was impossible to lift them even if they were given three heads and six arms. Yu Yu knows in her heart that Miss Yuan doesn't want to get married, at least not now, but the original master is just this baby daughter, since Mrs. Yuan died, the original master has not continued the string, so he wants to find a person who is worthy of entrustment as soon as possible and can take care of the original stumbling heart for a lifetime, but Miss Yuan can't look down on any of the people who come to propose marriage, Miss Yuan is loose by nature, and she has long been bored with this matter, so she proposed to the original master, compete to recruit relatives, if someone has the ability to pass their own test and win, then marry, if no one passes, The original master can't mention marriage again for five years.

The original master naturally agreed, although the winner may not be able to see it himself...... But these are all later words, and it is important to find someone who can barely enter the eyes of his daughter's law first.

"Let's end it when the two hundred and fifty people come up......," Yu Yu thought.

Lou Qi grabbed a steamed bun in one hand and went on stage, and the people in the audience couldn't help laughing at him, "Are you here to raise the crown or to juggle?" ”

"This son...... What are you? The housekeeper of the original family looked at this young man who suddenly came to the stage, and the expression on his face was a little stunned. Lou Qi was wearing an old short coat stained with sawdust, and there were a few patches on his cloth shoes, and his toes were about to break free from the shackles of the shoes, but his arm muscles were knotted, and it seemed that he should be a coolie on the other side of the docks.

"Hmph, when will even coolies be able to join in the fun?" The man who had just stepped down said hatefully.

Lou Qi didn't care about the people around him, he finished eating the steamed bun a few times, swallowed hard, and asked, "I heard that there are a hundred gold leaves when you lift this ding, right?" ”

"Hmm...... You have to carry it around this ring," the housekeeper agreed, and said in his heart that he had met a stunned corner, and others came to tie up with Miss Yuan, but he was good, just for the hundred gold leaves, "Young man, I have to remind you, this tripod is 1,200 catties, you can get ......"

"I'll try." Lou Qi interrupted the housekeeper, he walked to the side of Ding, shook his arms slightly, took a deep breath and slowly squatted down, and then grabbed a Ding foot with one hand, shouted, and actually took Ding out of the ring, the audience watched Lou Qi lift Ding to the waist and abdomen, and suddenly burst into cheers, and the spectators seated in the private room of the restaurant in the distance couldn't help but clap their hands, no matter whether Lou Qi could lift Ding above his head, he was taller than everyone before. But Lou Qi did not pause in his movements, he let out a low roar in his throat, the muscles of his arms bulged like a hill, and the ding continued to rise in his hands, and finally successfully lifted it above his head, and it was at this time that a tooth-sore sound came from the wooden floor of the ring.

The housekeeper was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost jumped out of the ring, but fortunately, the ring was still strong and did not collapse directly.

Lou Qi held the tripod and walked slowly, every step he took, the ring would let out a wail that was about to collapse, and the onlookers without exception raised their hands to cheer for him, one was more excited than the other, as if it was not Lou Qi who was lifting the tripod but himself.

"Born with divine power! In the future, it will surely shine brightly in this troubled world! In the restaurant in the distance, an old man with half-white hair exclaimed.

Lou Qi circled the ring, and returned to the same place, the housekeeper saw this and hurriedly jumped off the ring, not daring to stop any longer, because Lou Qi will definitely unload the force when he releases the tripod, and the 1,200 catties of tripod suddenly fall, even if the bluestone floor below can't bear it, let alone a few pieces of wood?

But to the butler's surprise, Lou Qi slowly squatted down with the tripod, slowly lowered his arm, and put the bronze tripod on the ring smoothly, as if what he was lifting was not a 1,200-pound tripod, but something else that could not be called a "heavy object".

"This ......" the butler opened his mouth wide and returned to the ring step by step.

"I thought you were going to run away and not give me money," Lou raised his hands on his hips, exhaled lightly, and then stretched out his hand to the butler, who looked at the Ding placed in place, and then at the crack in the ring, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Hey," Lou raised his hand and shook it in front of the butler, "give the money." ”

"Oh oh oh ......" The butler blankly took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Lou Qi.

Lou Qi shook the money bag, opened it again and looked at it, it was full of genuine gold leaves, he had lived for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen so much money, "Thank you." Lou smirked twice, got out of the ring, and was surrounded by the crowd and left.

"Everyone, let's stop here for today, let's all disperse." The butler bowed slightly to the crowd, scratched his head, muttered something quietly, and turned away.

......

Shiquan Street, it is in the middle of two prosperous streets, to be precise, it is not even a street, just two zhang wide, more than a mile long wide alley, but here is gathered the entire Zhongzhou, and even outside the Zhongzhou foreign cuisine, from the southern Xinjiang rice cable, roasted silkworm pupae, to Guanzhong meat buns, to Jiangnan desserts, you can find here. Yuan Feixin held a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and his eyes did not forget to stare at the various snacks on the surrounding stalls, thinking about what to buy next. Miss Yuan is a frequent visitor here, most of the bosses will greet her when they see her, and then give her some of their own special snacks, Miss Yuan has no shelves, she always takes it without hesitation, and then quietly leaves a few silver leaves on the stall.

"Miss! Miss! Someone suddenly called out to her behind her.

"Yu Yu? What's wrong? Want something to eat? Miss Yuan bit down on a rock sugar gourd and chewed it gently in her mouth.

"No, miss, listen to me," Yu Yu bowed slightly, panting, and grabbed Yuan Yuanxin's arm with one hand, as if he had run all the way, "Someone, lift the ding." ”

"Huh? What did you say? Yuan Tripxin bought another string of southern Xinjiang silkworm chrysalis and was about to deliver it to his mouth.

"I said, someone has lifted the tripod!" Yu Yu raised his voice.

"What?!" Yuan Feixin looked stunned, and the thing in his hand also fell to the ground, "Lifted?!" That's 1,200 pounds! ”

"Yes......" Yu Yu looked at Yuan Yu's heart, and stopped talking.

"What else?" Miss Hara frowned.

"That man...... It was the person who lifted the tripod, and after he lifted the tripod, he took the money from the horse steward and left......"

"Gone? Is he here to compete in martial arts or to get the hundred gold leaves? "Miss Yuan has suffered this kind of grievance, she will inevitably become the most dazzling person there wherever she goes from childhood to adulthood, this Huaiyang doesn't know how many sons love him, and he wishes he could look at them and say a word to them, but now someone actually sees a hundred gold leaves as more important than himself.

"Am I not as good as those hundred gold leaves???!!! Miss Yuan said angrily, "What about others? Take Miss Ben to meet him. ”

"It's gone......" Yu Yu repeated in a low voice.

"Where?"

"I don't know...... But listening to Steward Ma, he seems to be working as a coolie in Qingpu Port. ”

"Okay, then we'll go find him tomorrow!" Miss Yuan was gearing up and eager to try, eager to beat Lou Qi now.

"Why bother, Miss, isn't it a martial arts competition? He'll come back. Yu Yu whispered on the side.

"That's right, why did Miss Ben go to him!" Yuan Fei said hatefully, and he didn't even have the interest to eat, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"I'd like to take a good look at what kind of poor and sour person is this man who values money more than Miss Ben." After walking for a while, Yuan Tripping Heart said again.

......

Outside Huaiyang City, Le'an Village.

It was already completely dark, the light clouds covered the only bit of crescent moon behind him, the road was terriblely dark, from time to time there were a few dog barks in the village, Lou Qi's footsteps were deep and shallow, and he almost tripped several times, he carried medicine in one hand and a pack of white chopped chickens in the other, walked into the village, and then out of the village, towards a lonely dilapidated house outside the village. The hut was surrounded by common vegetables, symbolically fenced along several lengths of fence, and the rain-eroded crumbling fence was covered with morning glory vines, interspersed with unopened flower bones. Lou Qi gently pushed open the somewhat decayed wooden door, and walked in with a smile, "Mother, I'm back!" ”
