Chapter Seventy-Two: Steward Wu
A melodious sound from between the pavilions interrupted Li Tangshan's contemplation, and Li Tangshan and the others followed the sound of music to the door of a large-scale tavern. Li Tangshan saw that the tavern in front of him was a small wooden building with two floors, which was much more magnificent than his own tavern. On the plaque, the three zigzag gilt characters of the drunken immortal building shine brightly. There were two girls standing at the door who were very openly dressed to welcome the guests, Li Tangshan looked at the underage girls dressed so thin and transparent, Li Tangshan secretly scolded how hateful the capitalists of ancient and modern times were: "For the sake of money, I actually sacrificed this budding flower, what if it freezes and burns, it is really a tyrannical thing!" Wu Rui said in Li Tangshan's ear: "This is the property of Lu Wen of Qi State, his daughter is more than ten years old and looks like a fairy." Li Tangshan immediately became interested when he heard this, and then looked into the building, only to see that there were full of drinkers everywhere, and beautiful maids and maids were shuttling back and forth, a scene of prosperous business. On the carefully built wooden platform in the middle of the first floor, two women in Tsing Yi were playing the piano and drums intently, which was the source of the melodious music just now. Li Tangshan secretly admired in his heart: "This restaurant with such a thriving business in front of you is the epitome of Linzi's prosperity!" ”
The two undeveloped welcoming girls saw Li Tangshan's curious appearance, thinking that business was about to come to the door, and they were about to come over to pull the guests. On the one hand, Li Tangshan felt that the consumption of this restaurant must be a large number, and now Li Tangshan's salary can afford it, on the other hand, he doesn't want to waste the public relations funds specially approved by Li Xin; The most important thing is that Li Tangshan couldn't bear to refuse the invitation of the two girls, so he had to turn around and avoid it, so as not to have an embarrassing scene.
Don't pass the Drunken Immortal Tower, Li Tangshan and his party continued to move forward slowly. Suddenly, the crowd in front of him erupted in thunderous cheers. Li Tangshan followed the voice and saw a group of people gathered around a slightly raised earthen platform, as if they were looking at something rare. On a whim, Li Tangshan hurriedly pulled Wu Rui and hurriedly went over and squeezed effortlessly into the crowd.
When he got close to the high platform, Li Tangshan saw two sturdy big roosters on the earth platform, erecting the feathers on their necks, pecking back and forth, with each peck, the pieces of blood-stained feathers fell one after another, and the onlookers were stimulated by the fierce battle in front of them and applauded excitedly. What's even more strange is that on the earthen platform, there are two musicians, accompanied by the rhythm of cockfighting, constantly changing the breath and blowing the flute, in the rhythmic music, it turns out that this bloody cockfighting competition is actually interesting to watch. Li Tangshan thought to himself: "This Qi people in Linzi are really good at enjoying it!" I didn't expect that the ancient game of cockfighting could be performed on the streets. The solid Linzi people, as recorded in the history books, love to play the flute and drums, play the piano and build buildings, and fight cocks and lackeys. Today's visit, Li Tangshan sighed that Linzi was really as recorded in the history books. ”
If it weren't for the reminder of the war trauma on the wall of Linzi City, Li Tangshan really thought that this was not a bloody war-torn world. At this time, Li Tangshan understood in his heart: "The scene in front of him is just a false prosperity between the battles!" It is the same as the prosperity of the streets of Xianyang. ”
Li Tangshan watched the fierce cockfighting competition on the stage with great interest, and did not pay attention to the crowded crowd around him at all. Suddenly, a fleshy mass with the smell of sweat all over his body squeezed towards Li Tangshan. Li Tangshan was most annoyed by the smell of fox in his life, but the man put it on Li Tangshan's face uninterestingly. Li Tangshan turned his head to look intently, and saw a fat white man with a meaty face standing beside him.
The white fat man looked at Li Tangshan with a hateful gaze, the man's face was arrogant and domineering, the man opened his big mouth with his eyebrows crossed, and shouted loudly: "Look at it, you are a promiscuous businessman, you dare to stand in the way of your three masters!" ”
Li Tangshan's heart suddenly became angry, what kind of businessman is he pretending, the status of businessmen in this era is really low, and he has been here for several years, and he really hasn't suffered this kind of anger! Li Tangshan immediately wanted to have a seizure, but thinking about his current identity, he didn't want to be too public, he was afraid that because of a reckless man, he would make a big mistake, so he gritted his teeth and endured it!
The man saw Li Tangshan's appearance of swallowing his anger, but he thought that Li Tangshan was a soft egg who was easy to bully, and he was about to move when he spoke, and the big white and fat hand reached over and wanted to grab Li Tangshan's collar.
Li Tangshan's patience with the white fat man's continuous provocations was almost to the limit, and he thought: "Today, your grandfather Li is out of the way, so I will teach you a lesson and remember this unknown goods!" Li Tangshan's whole body tensed in a flash, clenched his fists, and was about to hit the fat man's waist with the strength of a fist.
Suddenly, Li Tangshan saw a big hand beside him with bulging muscles stretched out, grabbed the fat man's wrist and twisted it, and the fat man suddenly rolled to the ground, "Oops-" and cried out in pain. The violent character Wu Rui relieved Li Tangshan at a critical moment. Seeing that the fat man dared to be rude, Wu Rui suddenly became angry and grabbed the fat wrist hard.
The white fat man was originally a street scoundrel who bullied the weak and feared the hard, how could he be able to eat Wu Rui, who was strong in martial arts, grabbed it with all his might, and immediately squatted down and begged for mercy.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the surrounding crowd quickly dispersed "Hula-la-" in an instant, leaving only Li Tangshan, Wu Rui and a few others in the middle. The sound of the flute stopped, and the two roosters on the stage, who were all very happy, turned their heads curiously and looked down the stage.
At this moment, seeing that the white fat man was at a loss, several big men in the crowd rushed out. The big men with fierce eyes in their eyes one by one, gearing up for their hands, were about to use force against Li Tangshan and Wu Rui.
Li Tangshan secretly screamed in his heart. If on weekdays, Li Tangshan, Wu Rui and others join forces to deal with more than a dozen street gangsters, then the training of special forces is not vegetarian. But this time the situation is special, once the trouble breaks out, so many people are beating on the streets of Linzi, which will inevitably alarm the Linzi government. In the unlikely event that the government seriously investigates it, this special Linzi operation is bound to be greatly affected.
Li Tangshan was extremely sad and indignant at this time, and for the sake of the great cause of reunification, Li Tangshan painfully decided: I will endure it for the time being. Li Tangshan said secretly in his heart: "I, Li Tangshan, have crossed over to raise my eyebrows, but I am not here to be bullied by you scoundrels." I have no choice but to do it today, but I, Li Tangshan, resolutely don't learn Ah Q, and I will definitely return a tooth for a tooth in the future, so I have to let you know that Lord Ma has three eyes! ”
That Wu Rui had already put on a fighting posture, and even secretly touched the ghost knife short knife pinned between his trouser legs with his other hand, Li Tangshan knew that the ghost knife short knife was powerful, once he made a move, he was afraid that this group of scoundrels would be dead on the street. Li Tangshan looked at him again and again, signaling Wu Rui to be patient.
