Chapter 73: The Cripple Runs Fast

"Cut!"

Zhang Shun quipped: "With your eyes, you can also see what is special about Brother Song, the most you can tell if you are eating beef or mutton, or let's verify it for you!" โ€

Ruan Xiaoqi asked puzzledly: "How to verify?" โ€

Zhang Shun said: "Wouldn't it be right to go to the hotel and see if there is a Wang Dingliu!" Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly realized, and the two walked quickly to the small hotel.

Don't underestimate this kind of private wine shop in the village, all kinds of fruits and vegetables are fresh, self-brewed wine pulp, and there are the same grains. Compared with the farmhouse leisure and entertainment center in later generations, it is better to go there, the original meals, the nutritional structure is reasonable, and it is absolutely green and pollution-free.

The shopkeeper, who was about fifty, quickly beckoned the two to sit down, made tea and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Ruan Xiaoqi looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else in the wine shop, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is the old man surnamed Wang?" โ€

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Little Lao'er is surnamed Wang, forgive Xiao Lao'er for being clumsy, the two little brothers are very eye-catching, don't you know Lao'er?" โ€

Ruan Xiaoqi didn't answer and asked, "Do you have a son named Wang Dingliu?" โ€

The shopkeeper suddenly realized: "It turns out that the two little brothers and the little sixth son know each other, so I will call him." After speaking, he entered the back hall, leaving the two of them staring at each other with wide eyes.

After a while, a handsome descendant appeared in front of the two, and when he saw him, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Down is Wang Dingliu, I don't know what the two of you are looking for?" โ€

Ruan Xiaoqi asked thoughtlessly: "But the people in the rivers and lakes call Wang Dingliu, who is a living woman?" โ€

Wang Dingliu said: "Because the villain walks and jumps very quickly, it is just a fallacy. โ€

Zhang Shun saw that Xiao Qi was still verifying, so he changed the topic and said: "Zhang Shun, who is a fish tooth in Xiajiang Prefecture, and his brother came to Jiankang Mansion to ask the divine doctor An Daoquan, passing by here, I came to disturb my brother!" โ€

Wang Dingliu listened to the bow and said: "The villain likes to make the stick water, but many times can not be true, I have heard for a long time that the white strip of water in the waves is very good, today I Wang Dingliu worship you as a teacher, and I hope to be fulfilled!" โ€

Zhang Shun helped Wang Dingliu up and said: "Apprenticeship is exempt, we brothers are commensurate, usually I will guide you more." โ€

The father and son prepared the meal, and the four of them ate and chatted at the same table. Zhang Shun asked Wang Dingliu's father: "Why did Uncle Wang go to this forest to open a wine shop and not hire a man, the father and son are very hard." โ€

One sentence opened the conversation, Wang Dingliu's father sighed and said: "The old man has six sons, in a famine year, the second and third children did not feed, the eldest and fourth died as soldiers on the battlefield of Western Xia, and the fifth child was still a soldier in Western Xia. The land in the village was forcibly taken away by the rich, and his wife took the little six sons here to beg for a living, and our family of three people who were also supported by three melons and two dates, but the old wife left the old man, leaving the lonely father and son. โ€

Saying that, the old man's eyes were moist, and he wiped away his tears and said: "Now as long as the future of Xiao Liuzi is settled, my heart will rest!" โ€

Said a little sadly, Zhang Shun couldn't help but bow down to the old man and said: "Don't hide it from Uncle Wang, we were entrusted to come to ask for a divine doctor An Daoquan this time, and he said that he passed by and let us take away the six brothers." โ€

Seeing that others didn't interject, he continued: "This is actually Ruan Xiaoqi from Liangshanbo, and it was Brother Song Gongming of Shandong who asked the two of us to pick up the six brothers of Wang Ding. โ€

"Song Gongming is famous, and I admire it, but I didn't know each other, but how can he know me?" Wang Dingliu asked puzzled.

"That's what he said, and we don't know why, ohยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Zhang Shun suddenly turned around and said: "When he came, he also said that he should be careful of the two water thieves, what are you called Zhang Wang, the ghost of the river and Sun Wu, but there are these two people?" โ€

"Yes!"

Wang Dingliu nodded and said: "These two guys often kill people on the water, and they are not good birds." โ€

After speaking, I only heard Ruan Xiaoqi exclaim: "Brother Song is really a god!" โ€

Wang Dingliu's father said: "There are often guests here who talk about Song Gongming, and I have heard about it. I heard that now he is gathering righteousness in Qingfeng Mountain, specializing in cracking down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the rich and powerful, and providing relief to the common people, and what is the purpose of punishing the evil and promoting the good, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and the four regulations of not robbing the common people, it can be seen that he is a benevolent and righteous person. If he is willing to take Xiao'er with him, Xiao Liuzi, you can go by yourself, don't worry about me. The old man has an old bone, and he can survive by guarding the wine shop. โ€

Zhang Shun said: "Uncle Wang is old, how can the sixth son leave you to suffer alone, why don't you pack up your things and go to Qingfeng Mountain together, it is better to sell wine here to survive." โ€

The old man weighed again and again, and said, "Okay, get ready for a few days, let's go together." โ€

Walking slowly to Baizhang Village, Li Kui thought of his mother and took a shortcut, which was rugged and overgrown with weeds. Walking to a thatched hut, suddenly something jumped out from the side of the tree, everyone was startled, and thought it was a rabbit, but who knew that it was an unkempt man, he limped away, and shouted: "Help me!" โ€

Before the words fell, a woman ran over with a rolling pin and scolded: "You dead ghost, the eighty-year-old lady is sick and has no money for treatment, the child is hungry at home, waw wow and wait for the rice to be cooked, you stay at home all day, how do you live this life!" โ€

After saying that, he sat on the road and beat his chest and feet, and cried. Seeing this, the man walked up to the woman with a limp and said, "Lady, I also want to make money, but I was born with a disability, and no one uses me." โ€

After speaking, the two hugged their heads and cried.

Song Jiang couldn't help but smile when he saw it, there are always such people who like to get something for nothing, they use people's sympathy to deceive other people's kindness in exchange for money.

However, compared to the street crooks of later generations, they are too pediatric, there are too many elements in the performance, the level of the actors is too amateurish, and there are also mistakes in the selection of props. Don't you see the thick layer on the rolling pin? This is like a person who can't open the pot? Add some wild vegetables, brush the noodles on the rolling pin into the pot, and it is better than the food during the Red Army's Long March.

When Li Kui heard that his mother was sick, he threw down a big piece of silver, which was ten taels, and Hua Ziwei also threw some broken silver. Song Jiang couldn't stop it, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he asked casually, "What's your name?" โ€

The man grabbed the silver in his hand, kowtowed, and said, "Villain Li Huai, thank you benefactors!" โ€

The woman chiseled on the man's head and said, "Why can't I remember, my mother said, I am the earth life, Mu Ketu, I have to take your wood away, you are called Li Ghost." โ€

Song Jiang couldn't cry or laugh, this famous trick became the image spokesperson of counterfeit goods in later generations, and finally appeared today.

Song Jiang jokingly said to Ghost Li's wife: "Since Mu Ketu, I see that you have also gone to the wood on his Li character and changed it to a ghost!" โ€

Li Ghost didn't hear the irony, and was helped away by his wife with a thousand thanks. Hua Ziwei said thoughtfully: "What a poor family! Brother Song, you often help others, why didn't you have a kind heart today? โ€

"Yes, brother, does he have a sick old lady at home?"

Li Kui's echo made Song Jiang have to expose Ghost Li's trick, he looked at everyone and said: "Let's make a bet, Tie Niu is now carrying an ax to pretend to cut Ghost Li, he must run faster than a rabbit, otherwise I will lose a hundred taels of silver." Do you dare to bet? โ€

"Bet! I bet! โ€

Hua Ziwei's heart was playful, and she responded in response.

Song Jiang said: "Ziwei, bet you have never won against me, and today you will lose too!" โ€

"If you don't try, how do you know if you win or lose." After Hua Ziwei finished speaking, she encouraged Li Kui and said, "Brother Li, you go and try!" โ€

Li Kui urged the horse forward in disbelief, and suddenly shouted: "Look at me, don't cut off your head." โ€

When Ghost Li saw the fierce and vicious Li Kui rushing over with a plate axe, he said that he had seen through the deception, and he was so frightened that he ran away. Everyone's heads were short-circuited, and they had never seen a cripple running so fast, Li Kui grabbed the horse and forgot to chase after him, and watched Ghost Li escape from his sight.
