Chapter 36 The name Zhang Liao
Bai Cang looked at this little boy with interest and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very satisfied with your current life, who were you before?" ”。
Xiao Tong thought for a long time and shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, I've been to a lot of places, I've done everything I can, and I can't eat anywhere, but I haven't been hungry since I got here, although I work more, I'm already very satisfied to be full," Xiao Tong said contentedly.
"And what do you have to do every day?" "A lot, like washing clothes, sweeping the yard, washing vegetables and cooking, etc., anyway, I just went to wash clothes and saw you here, hey~ By the way, who are you?" It seems that I have never seen you before," the boy said, suddenly remembering to ask.
"Don't care who we are, have you eaten anything here? Do you want to eat it? Bai Cang pulled the little boy to the corner and whispered.
"This... What is it? Can I eat it? Xiao Tong asked hesitantly.
"Of course you can eat it, but you have to tell me what your name is first, otherwise I won't give it to you," Bai Cang picked up a chicken wing and shook it in front of his eyes and smiled.
Xiao Tong swallowed and foamed at the mouth and whispered, "I don't know what my name is, I only know that my father's surname is Zhang, then I should also be surnamed Zhang, but everyone in the family is dead, so no one named me."
"Oh~~ surnamed Zhang, so how about I call you Zhang Ergou in the future" Bai Cang said with a smile.
"That's so ugly, I don't want to call Zhang Ergou, I used to wander when I met a lot of people called Ergou who starved to death, and were eaten by real dogs, I don't want to call this name" The child's head shook like a rattle.
Gao Shun sat on the side and watched Bai Cang play with the child, and secretly sighed in his heart that this kid was too bad, and said with a smile: "Okay, what are you teasing a little boy, if you want to name someone, just give someone a good name, what a second dog, this is also called a name for shit."
"Okay, then I'll give you a great name now, I wish our Han Dynasty's vast frontier and unimpeded martial arts, so okay, how about you call Zhang Liao, if you are not satisfied, I can beat you" Bai Cang shrugged his shoulders, thought for a while and came up with a name to say it, and then gestured with his fist for a while, for fear that this kid would not be satisfied.
"Zhang Liao? Well~~~~~~ how do you write it? Xiao Tong asked for a long time.
", you stupid, you can't even write, and you're embarrassed to pick and choose, look at me" Bai Cang gave him a burst chestnut, picked up a branch, and wrote two words on the ground, thought about it and added a chaddle to the word, "Well, that's it, do you know" After writing, he called the little boy to come and see.
"Oh oh~~ It turns out that it is written like this, I know, this is good, this is simple and easy to learn" Xiao Tong gestured a few times with his hand along the handwriting on the ground and smiled, "Hehe, I also have a name, Zhang Liao, I will be called Zhang Liao in the future" Zhang Liao smiled ecstatically.
"Okay, don't be stupid and laugh, you kid has a name, come over and eat some now, tell you that this thing chokes people, you can eat slowly, hey~~ Didn't you tell you to eat slowly."
As soon as Zhang Liao heard that he could eat, he didn't ask much and directly picked up the chicken wings and swallowed them, but he didn't expect them to get stuck in his throat, and his whole face turned red.
Bai Cang hurriedly came over and slapped his back, and secretly used some true qi to rush, only to see a chicken wing fly out of Zhang Liao's mouth, "This thing has bones, even if you haven't eaten it, you can always see it, eat anything."
Although Zhang Liao was choked, the aroma of chicken wings remained in his mouth, and he smirked and said, "Hehe, I've seen people eat it twice before, but I forgot it a long time ago, don't say this thing is really fragrant, can I still eat it?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the roast chicken.
Bai Cang didn't stop it, nodded and said, "You can eat it if you want, you can eat this thing, but remember to slow down, I don't care if I choke again."
Speaking this kung fu Zhang Liao has already eaten half of the roast chicken in front of him with the belt meat, the big bones spit out, and the small ones are chewed directly, I heard that things can be eaten casually, and grabbed a piece of sauce beef next to him, the whole piece of beef is more than half a catty, and it is just a matter of three bites and two bites.
After eating half of the roast chicken and half a catty of beef, Zhang Liao wiped his mouth with a satisfied face and said with a smile, "You guys are so good, take something for me to eat, others used to see me and either coax me away or beat me, even if there are one or two kind-hearted ones, they just take some leftovers, and it is the first time I have eaten such a delicious thing."
"What's this, if you want to eat, just come with us, we have a lot of delicious food, and you don't have to do so much work" Bai Cang said casually with a smile.
Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Can I go with you?" Can I still eat something so delicious? As soon as he finished speaking, he looked hesitant, "But the people here are kind enough to take me in and give me food, if I leave like this, I'm sorry for them, I'd better think about it."
Gao Shun got up at this time and said with a smile, "It's okay, we have to stay for a while, you can come to us at any time if you figure it out."
Zhang Liao nodded, picked up the heavy wooden basin and turned to leave, walked a few steps and looked back from time to time, showing hesitation.
Bai Cang saw him leaving, and said to Gao Shun: "Does the head of the high sect really agree to take him away?" I just said it casually, if you don't agree, forget it, I know that you can't just enter strangers in the house."
"This kid is also very pitiful, it's not easy to do overweight work all day at a young age, if you are really willing to take him away, it doesn't hurt to have one more person, even if you can't enter the house casually, just put it together with your little brothers, anyway, there is not one more of him."
"Okay, if he wants to, let's take him away, that kid in the mountain wing always says that he is bitter, and he also asks him to see what is called the real bitter background" Bai Cang nodded and responded.
The two cleaned up the scraps on the ground, and after seeing that there were no flaws, they straightened their clothes and returned to the temple, and the literati gathered mainly to talk about the world, and there was laughter and laughter on the wine banquet, so they ate very slowly, and the two went out for a long time at this time in the temple and did not withdraw the seat.
Xu Shu saw Bai Cang quietly sitting next to him, and laughed in a low voice: "You guys have come back after eating?" ”。
"Ah~~ No, we just went to a thatched toilet", "Oh, how does it smell of roast chicken on the thatched toilet, it seems that the Yingchuan Hall is really a treasure place where strangers gather, and even dirty and messy places like thatched toilets have such a smell" It means that the pulled by the literati is fragrant.
"Hehe, good place, good place" Bai Cang smiled awkwardly, Xu Shu didn't break it, he himself was not a Confucian scholar, he drifted in the dust of the rivers and lakes all the year round, of course, the taste was not so light, and he naturally knew that Bai Cang and Gao Shun, who grew up in the Thorn History Mansion since childhood, must not be used to it.
After a while, everyone ate and withdrew, some of the scholars and Confucian scholars were too drunk to give a salute and leave, the backyard room was limited, and it didn't hurt to stay for a day or two if they were far away, and those who were close went out and got on their horses and left.
Xu Shu and the three of them came to Chen Qun at this time, and said in front of him, "Today's book will see a few seniors and sergeants of all clans, which is really beneficial, but because there are still important things, it is inconvenient for the juniors to stay for a long time, so I will say goodbye to a few ancestors here."
After Xu Shu finished speaking, Gao Shun and Bai Cang of course also followed Shi Li to say goodbye, Chen Qun was polite as a landlord but did not force him to stay, Cheng Yu and others were even more polite and said goodbye, Xun Yan and Xun Chen next to him were invited to go on the road together.
Before everyone came to the mountain gate along the mountain road, the mountain boy had already prepared the horses, and a few people were talking and laughing while chatting, and after walking for a while, they suddenly saw a person in the woods next to him, pointing to Bai Cang and shouting, "Why doesn't it count if you say okay to take me with you, don't you say that you have to stay here for a while, if I don't think about it quickly, I will be dumped by you."
Bai Cang saw that it was the little boy who was named by himself just now, and said with a smile, "What, have you thought about going with us?" You will be our man from now on, and if anyone gives you anything to eat, you are not allowed to run away behind our backs."
"Of course not, you are the one who named me, I, Zhang Liao, am not such a villain, don't underestimate me" Zhang Liao snorted and did not have the timidity just now, as if a name had strengthened his courage.
Xu Shu looked at the conversation between the two and thought to himself, "This young man has such a mind at a young age, and it seems that he is also a smart person, and a little exercise can be of great use" smiled at the moment, "This little boy, your name is Zhang Liao?" Did he give it to you?"
"That's right, my name is Zhang Liao, he just gave me the name, I heard people say that you can't change the name after you finish it, otherwise it's unlucky, I'll be called Zhang Liao in the future", Bai Cang smiled "Then I also named you Ergou, I can also call you Ergou in the future."
"That doesn't count, I didn't admit that," Zhang Liao said with a pouting glance.
Xu Shu nodded and said, "In this case, I tell you, there are rules in the rivers and lakes, and the person who gives the name is like the parents of regeneration, although he is not a few years older than you, but the grace of the name is like recreation, since you admit it, then you have to give a gift and thanks, so good, I see that you are about the same age, you can worship him as a brother, and in the future, if you dare to do treachery, the world can kill him."
"Worship and worship, Zhang Liao will not betray his trust, what is there to fear" said and kowtowed three heads to Bai Cang and said, "Brother is above, Zhang Liao is willing to worship his brother as a righteous brother, and he will live and die together in the future."
"Ergou, this is what you worship me, I didn't force you, then we will be brothers in the future, you still have a brother called not here now, and I will introduce you when I go back."
"Call me Ergou again, okay, this name is a nickname, but others are not allowed to call it, only the elder brother can call it" He didn't care if there were other righteous brothers, and he recognized Bai Cang in his heart.
