After the man took a deep breath, his eyes were hot, his arms suddenly strengthened, and he shouted: "Give it to me...... Rise! β
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the sinking stone that the man moved, and they all subconsciously held their breath under their full attention, and the market that was still noisy and noisy just now became silent in an instant.
However, even though the man exerted all his strength, the boxy boulder still did not move.
There was such a big ugliness in front of everyone's eyes, how could the man not stop, roared again, and tried to lift the boulder again.
After repeating this three times, the man finally gave up, hung his head, and disappeared into the crowd like a defeated rooster.
"Let me try!"
There was no shortage of brave men under the heavy reward, and another sturdy man stepped forward.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Zhang family is a big family in Zhuo County, in charge of the market and tavern in Zhuo County, in addition to the family assets in the city, there is also a very wide area of the village forest, it is in March at this time, the peach blossoms in the village forest are pink and beautiful.
The current head of the Zhang family is called Zhang Cheng, a Confucian man with a generous personality, who has a high reputation in Zhuo County because he often helps the poor people in the county, and people always have respect whenever they mention it.
However, Zhang Cheng has a son who is not angry, likes to recognize rangers, gallops on horses, and often goes to the streets to provoke quarrels and fights.
For this reason, Zhang Chengtian also caused trouble.
In the forest of the Zhang family, a young man was lying under a peach tree in full bloom, not yet the crown, his appearance was handsome, and he had a peach branch with two flower bones in his mouth, and he was napping with great satisfaction.
At this time, a gray-shirted servant walked over, afraid of disturbing the young man, so he lowered his voice and called softly: "Young master." β
"Why, someone removed the stone I put away?"
The young man opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the servant with slanted eyes, and asked casually.
"Young Master Shenwei, the news that just came from Zhang Er's side has already been tried by sixteen reckless men, and none of them can move." The servant's face was excited, and he admired the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
After the young man learned the result, his casual expression was mixed with disdain, "A group of ignorant country husbands, thanks to my father, he warned me every day not to underestimate the world, I can't even lift a stone, bullshit people in the world!" β
At this moment, the market on the other side, after the defeat of sixteen people, no one dared to come forward to challenge, and people have realized that going up will only be self-inflicted.
After a moment of silence, a voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd, "Can you let me try?" β
The voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone present.
The people in front of him hurriedly turned back, and the people behind had already made way for him, the man was tall, but his appearance was handsome and extraordinary, and he was holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in his left hand, with a steady and vigorous pace, and slowly walked forward in the eyes of everyone.
LΓΌ Bu learned from Fan Ling that five years ago, the alien Wuhuan on the border of Youzhou invaded south, and Fan Ling's father was tragically killed in that tragic battle. Since then, Fan Ling has never eaten meat again, so when he first ate the dough with meat filling, he would have such surprise and excitement.
Under everyone's gaze, Fan Lingfan puffed on a small face and grabbed Lu Bu's big hand, this was the first time she had been watched by so many people, although she was not the main target, it was enough to make her feel at a loss.
Lu Bu felt the little girl's nervousness, reached out and patted the little girl's forehead gently, with a gentle smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." β
The little girl nodded obediently.
Lu Bu walked to the well, glanced at the big stone that sealed the mouth of the well, and asked the butcher Zhang Er: "What you just said, does it still count?" β
Zhang Er, who had a simple personality, nodded and replied, "Naturally, it counts." β
After receiving a clear answer, Lu Bu didn't have any more words, bowed his body and put his hands on the bottom of the left and right sides of the boulder, and in the expectant eyes of everyone, the boulder that no one moved away was easily removed by Lu Bu.
"Good !!"
The onlookers immediately boiled and cheered. No one thought that the big stone that had stumped everyone just now would be lifted so easily, and then looking at the young man's expression, there was no trace of excitement and joy, as if he had picked up an inconspicuous pebble.
The butcher Zhang Er was also shocked at this moment, his young master told him that this stone is called Kyauktie Stone, and its weight is three times that of ordinary stones, so this stone, which seems to be only more than 100 catties, is at least more than 400 catties. Last night, the young master of his family also took a lot of effort to lift the iron stone to seal the well, he never thought that this young man would easily move the stone, the strength of these arms was really terrifying.
Without waiting for Zhang Er to think about it, Lu Bu had already taken out the pork in the well, held it horizontally in both hands, and felt about eighty or ninety catties.
Lu Bu threw this large piece of meat on the board and said to Zhang Er: "I'm tired of cutting a pound of thin and a pound of fat." β
Since the people took out the pork, Zhang Er naturally had nothing to say, took out a short knife with a sharp tip from the hanging row of pig-killing knives, turned it around twice in his hand, and quickly cut off a fat and a thin one in the large piece of pork.
"Good knife technique."
Lu Bu took the wrapped pork and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"It's all ninth-rate craftsmanship, you praised it, guest officer." Zhang Er replied humbly.
"I remember there's a thousand more rewards, where can I get them?" Lu Bu, who received the pork, asked again.
Before Zhang Er could speak, the right side of the crowd began to stir, as if a bison was rampage from behind, and the people who stood in the way were all violently pushed away.
"Huh~"
A splendid bulging cloth bag was thrown on the board, and anyone who was not deaf could hear the sound of a bag full of copper coins.
A young man rushed out of the crowd, nearly eight feet long, handsome, but his voice was extremely rough: "The money is here, you can take it, what I Zhang Fei said, I have never failed to count!" β
Zhang Fei?
Lu Bu read a sentence in his mouth, and inexplicably felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he really couldn't remember it.
Lu Bu stretched out his hand to take the copper coins stuffed with a bag, and the eyes of the people were full of all kinds of eyes, including jealousy, envy, admiration, and emotion.
Lu Bu's hand grabbed the money bag, and the other hand next to him quickly reached over and grabbed Lu Bu's wrist.
Lu Bu saw that it was the young man who called himself Zhang Fei just now, Lu Bu's eyebrows sank, his tone suddenly became a little colder, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?" β
Facing Lu Bu's questioning, Zhang Fei laughed: "Those who can lift this stone must be brave and brave, and I like to make friends with heroes in the world the most, so I specially invite my brother to go to the manor with me." β
In Zhang Fei's view, Lu Bu was dressed as a common man in a cotton jacket, coupled with his kind invitation, a poor person like Lu Bu had absolutely no reason to refuse.
"No need."
Lu Bu's tone was flat, his left hand put aside Zhang Fei's palm, and his right hand led the little girl Fan Ling, ready to leave.
If Zhang Fei was sincere in making friends, Lu Bu would naturally not refuse, but from Zhang Fei's eyes, Lu Bu only saw contempt and disdain as a superior person. Therefore, Lu Bu chose to refuse without hesitation.
Zhang Fei was already young and vigorous, and Lu Bu refuted his opinion in front of so many people, which made Zhang Fei feel very shameless.
Zhang Fei's face sank, and his tone became less friendly than just now, and he said coldly: "Since you don't go, you look down on me!" β
Lu Bu was not stunned, and said-for-tat: "So what? β
