Chapter 4: A Thief of Good Fortune

Qu Dashuai took the bag and carefully put it on his body. "Master, then it's not like I haven't been able to see your old man for a long time."

Xuan Chenzi waved his hand and said: "You and I shouldn't have met in the first place, since we have to meet, don't ask him for it." Don't come back after you go down the mountain, you have to travel all over the world as a teacher, and you will see you again one day. Don't tell anyone about your teacher's name outside. ”

"Master, I haven't learned the science of Xuanhuang from you yet?" Qu Dashuai said that a Taoist priest can't even learn his own true knowledge, which is really ashamed.

Xuan Chenzi said: "Taoism is just a study of the heart, and if you really enter the Tao, you can count it with your heart and without your heart, and it will come naturally." Besides, if everything in the world has to be calculated first, then what is the point? ”

"Yes, it's like watching TV, someone gives you spoilers in advance."

Qu Dashuai's expression was gloomy, although the two had not been together for a long time, they had already regarded him as the closest person in the world.

"Also, don't use your name for the time being, Qu Dashuai, it's not a good thing to have a name that is too big. It's called Qu Ping, the surname Qu Ping, the word suppression, the suffering in the world comes from poverty and luxury, and it needs to be suppressed. Yilai Ping is the harmony of yin and yang, and it also requires you to stand in the middle of the contradiction and look at the opposing things, which is also what you told me. Second, since you are also a descendant of Qu Yuan, you can inherit his ideals and show your ambitions. ”

It's coming, I didn't expect the name to be changed, anyway, the ID card in 2050 is still the original name, and this is still the name of the ancestors, so don't insult him.

The next day, Qu Dashuai, no, it should be Qu Ping now, with the coil given by the master hidden on his body, as well as his own transmitter and "Three Kingdoms", bid farewell to the master and walked away in the snow.

Xuanchenzi watched Qu Ping go away, and said to himself: "It's time to sleep well again." Looking up at the sky, "I can't afford to mess with you, and I can't hide from you." ”

The wind and snow sent people away, and passed over the thousand peaks.

How can centrifugation be sent, a dream writes spring and autumn.

In winter, a county town in Cizhou was wrapped in snow, and under the radiation of the golden army's iron hooves, it looked trembling and trembling. However, with the protection of the garrison of the Northern Song Dynasty general Zong Ze, the phenomenon of a large number of ordinary people moving south still did not appear, but the lack of materials and the enduring cold and starvation were a common phenomenon. On the one hand, the Song army, which has been weak for many years, and on the other hand, the Jin army, which is armed to the teeth, many people in the national backbone of the "rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible" seems to have woken up, and the rebels from all over the country have risen up, either to protect the family and defend the country, or to make a living.

Under the city gate, a tall man with a hat and a horse glanced at the city tower, and said in his heart: "Jianghu, I'm here, let me turn the world upside down for you!" ”

This man snatched a horse from a gang of bandits and galloped all the way to Qu Ping. Although I don't know the road, but as the old saying goes, walking is all about your mouth, as long as you dare to ask where the road is, there is no distance that you can't reach.

At noon, it was still snowing lightly. In the year of the national disaster, God also helped to do evil, and there was a large-scale locust plague in summer, and a snow disaster in winter, and the weather was cold and frozen, which accelerated the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. In some places, people with ulterior motives even made up songs and ballads to spread rumors that the Great Song Dynasty was about to die.

There are sparse pedestrians on the streets, and there are even fewer stalls selling goods, and there are many storefronts on the streets, and there are scenes of silence everywhere.

Qu Ping groaned in his belly. He is going to find a restaurant to live in, preferably the largest restaurant, where three sects and nine streams gather, and he can also inquire about all kinds of gossip.

The pedestrians hurrying by on the street looked at the tall man leading the horse, peeked curiously, and then walked away quickly.

A man wrapped his sleeves and bumped Qu Ping's shoulder, and was about to slip away, when suddenly a big hand grabbed his wrist from behind, and unceremoniously grabbed a reverse joint, so painful that he bent over and half-squatted and screamed.

Qu Ping spitted, damn, he actually stole it from the uncle. The thief had to beg for mercy immediately, saying that you have a lot of adults, let me go, there are old and young people in the family, and they are all starving and dying.

Qu Ping kicked the man to the ground, picked up his money bag that rolled out of the man's sleeve, and said, "You can lie to the ghost about this kind of thing." Uncle, I am very kind-hearted today, so I will keep your pig's hand, get me up immediately, and take me to the biggest restaurant here. ”

The man hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your lot, and the villain will lead the way." After speaking, he naturally helped Qu Ping lead the horse and led Qu Ping forward. He also said, "The small one is called Lu Ji, Lu Ban's Lu and Tian Ji are horse racing, no, it is Tian Ji's taboo." ”

Qu Ping thought to himself, what do I call you, just let you lead the way. It is also possible that people want to be close to each other, rubbing a meal, these days, it is not easy to be a thief, and no one will be born to be a thief. "Lu Ji, the name is good, it's not a thief's name at all, what is the thief's general name Lu San, monkey, dog or something, this is close to the ground."

Lu Ji was not angry, nor did he refute, saying: "I'm not afraid of adult jokes, the villain's ancestors have also been brilliant." ”

Qu Ping didn't bother to deal with him anymore, anyway, he wouldn't have any contact with a thief in the future. In other words, my old Qu family ancestors also had glory, and at the same time brought cultural pride to future generations, it also brought a grand "Dragon Boat Festival", which was really meritorious.

After a small half-pillar of incense, the two of them stopped at the door of a house called "Juxian Building". Juxian Tower stands abruptly, three stories high, compared with the surrounding houses, absolutely stand out from the crowd, absolutely self-respecting.

Lu Ji looked at the huge building with satisfaction, and nodded, showing a look of approval and approval. Lu Ji realized his gaffe, and quickly came back to his senses and said: "This is the best restaurant in our city, the first floor is sharp, the second floor is a store, and the third floor, haha, drink flower wine!" Isn't it magnificent? ”

Qu Pingqi said: "This restaurant is incompatible with the surrounding buildings, who would have such a big deal!" ”

Lu Ji mysteriously put his hand to his mouth and approached Qu Ping, but found that his identity was embarrassing, and his height was also a little far away, so he stepped back a little and said: "This is the county magistrate Liu Qingliu's godson Liu Bao opened it privately, this is the secret of the county." Cizhou porcelain kiln can be comparable to the beautiful scenery, and most of these porcelain kilns in this county are mastered by a group of people in the county, although now the war is raging, but the housekeeper stores a lot of grain, and the days are still fragrant and spicy. His godson has a lot of side jobs in private, even if he doesn't make a fortune, he still has a lot of money. ”

"After the peace talks of the imperial court, didn't you call on officials and even ordinary people to donate money?"

Lu Ji sneered: "It's just a drop in the bucket." ”

Qu Ping sighed and said: "The wood is rotten, how to do the pillars, how to carry the sheji." ”

When Lu Ji heard the wood, his eyes flashed fleetingly. Lu Ji handed the horse to the man at the door, told him that this master was a guest of the hotel, and took Qu Ping into the restaurant. Now it's not peaceful outside, and there aren't many people in the restaurant who eat and drink. Lu Ji greeted the shopkeeper familiarly and said, "Our master lives in the hotel." ”

"Yo, this time we brought our son-in-law again." The shopkeeper and Lu Ji have obviously known each other for a long time, and often cooperate, he glanced at the plainly dressed Qu Ping behind Lu Ji, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, if it weren't for the difficult conditions now, how could he receive this kind of person, "Five taels a day in the hotel, meals and drinks are counted separately, and there is a special person to receive the flower room on the third floor." ”

Qu Ping still has fifty taels on him, he stays five taels a night, and he has to eat, I don't know how many days I can survive, if Zhao Gou doesn't show up, he will definitely be driven out to sleep on the street. Qu Ping asked for a room, took the key to room "Twenty-Five" thrown out by the shopkeeper, and then found a table in the inner place to prepare for lunch.

Lu Ji said stupidly, "My lord, the little one...... Let's go. ”

Qu Ping wanted to see through his thoughts, of course, it was better to invite him to have dinner with him before making the next step. Lu Ji immediately shook the four benches on the four sides of the table, picked the most stable stool and asked Qu Ping to sit down, and then used his sleeve to brush the table top that was not dirty, and then sat down unnaturally.

There are three more tables of diners on the entire first floor, and there are nearly twenty empty tables, which shows how lively it was in the glory days of the year. The two asked for three catties of mutton, a few plates of side dishes, and two catties of wine. Lu Ji said, there are too many more, and two people can't eat so much. The dishes were served one after another, and the two chatted while eating, and the relationship was no longer so formal.

Qu Ping knew that he wanted to quickly pull in the relationship between two strange men, and he usually started with a yellow tone, he said: "The third floor is a flower building, how can the residents on the second floor sleep well?" ”

Lu Ji smiled: "Childe, you don't know," At this moment, even the title was changed, "If it is put aside, the second floor is naturally not dedicated to sleeping." The third floor is mainly eaten, drunk and gambling, and the girls are obviously all performing arts, and it depends on the ability of the guests to sell their bodies. After all, people have to eat first. ”

Qu Dashuai sighed, it seems that these are high-level talented women.

The guests on the side of the seat whispered about the current state of the country, some said that the imperial court was about to be unable to withstand it, some said that the imperial court estimated that the capital would be moved, and some people said that we still had the protection of General Zong Ze and estimated that we could still repel the enemy, and it was unknown that Li Gang and the literati did not know if they could hold Bianliang...... So total. In addition to being arrested, defending the country is a major feature of the common people.

Lu Ji suddenly got up and said: "The five-foot body should be a horse leather shroud for the country and the family, what is the point of talking about it here!" ”
