The family was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a hearty laugh behind him, and without looking back, he guessed that the laughter had something to do with the spear on the apple tree.

Xiaonuo turned his head to take a look, and then quickly pulled Meng Tianchu's sleeve, Meng Tianchu turned his head at this time, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, he was startled by Meng Tianchu, only to see that the person who came was only wearing a navy blue single coat and a pair of coarse linen pants on the lower body, and only when he reached his knees, he could see the thick foot hair on his calves, barefoot, his steps were very big, his height was two meters, but he was not hunchbacked, his body was straight, he had a horse face, a pair of long ape-like arms, and he was holding a spear exactly the same as that on the apple tree, but his appearance was not ugly, It can be regarded as thick eyebrows and big eyes, the ground is wide and square, but there is a scar of about ten centimeters on the left side of the face, which extends from the corner of the mouth to the root of the ear, which looks a little crazy, and it is even more chilling to smile again.

Chai Meng hurriedly stood in front of Meng Tianchu and stopped the man with both hands, for fear that this strange person would hurt Meng Tianchu.

I saw that the strange man didn't look at Chai Meng, stretched out a hand to lift Chai Meng, Chai Meng immediately left his feet off the ground, hanging in the air, he couldn't kick if he wanted to, he couldn't hit it, but the strange man had no intention of hurting Chai Meng, only threw Chai Meng aside, looked at Meng Tianchu, who knew that he was in the armpit, and laughed again, this laughter was not only loud, but even a little deafening.

"Are my apples delicious?"

Meng Tianchu saw the strange man looking at him, so he smiled and nodded.

"You see that your men seem to be afraid of me, why aren't you afraid?"

Meng Tianchu smiled: "You have no intention of hurting, what am I afraid of?" ”

"Could it be that you have extraordinary martial arts, so you have no fear of me?"

Meng Tianchu shook his head and said, "I don't know martial arts in the next place." ”

The weirdo was a little puzzled. said: "Then why aren't you afraid of me?" ”

Meng Tianchu found that this strange man's teeth were very neat and white, unlike ordinary croppers.

"Do you have to have martial arts to be afraid of you? I, Meng Tianchu, didn't do anything wrong, why should I be afraid of you. ”

The strange man let out of his nose, snorted, and pulled out the spear from the tree without having to go up the tree. He said, "You have eaten my fruit, and you say that you have done nothing wrong." ”

Xiao Nuo was not convinced, and said angrily: "It's just two fruits, we are a little thirsty." So we picked and ate, but we gave money, why do we say that we did something wrong? ”

The strange man looked at Xiao Nuo with big eyes like copper bells, and said, "What a powerful little mouth, then what do you mean, if you kill someone in a hurry." After the guilt buried that person in a beautiful way, do you think you won't be ashamed of the person you killed? ”

Xiaonuo listened. got angry and said, "We just eat your two fruits, where is there such a serious thing as murder?" ”

Strange man: "But the fruit is mine, and I am not willing to give it to you, you are just robbing it." For the forcible robbery of the land, you eat it, do you leave a few stinky money? Won't you feel ashamed? ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly bowed his hand and said ashamedly: "What this eldest brother said is that it is really not appropriate to connive at Ling Mei and his subordinates, and I hope that this eldest brother will forgive his sins." ”

Xiao Nuo grabbed the white and said: "Brother Meng, what do you say about forgiveness, is it so serious?" It's just two fruits, just give more money. ”

Chai Meng also said angrily: "That's it, I think he is blackmailing." ”

As soon as the strange man heard Chai Meng say this, he immediately lowered his face, and this time his face was longer.

"What do you say, you say I blackmailed you for your money?"

Chai Meng is not in the hands of the strange man now, and there is room to do it, so he is not afraid, both of them glared angrily, and no one let anyone.

Wang Yi stepped forward to calm things down, and said, "This big brother, we are still in a hurry to get on the road, what do you think we are going to do, are you willing to let us go?" ”

The strange man glanced at Wang Yi with contempt, and said: "There are so many of you together, I see that among you, including this little girl, you can do some kung fu, why bother to say anything good to me, come, fight, you win, you leave, if you lose, you have to buy me all the fruits buried in the garden before you can leave." ”

Chai Meng: "If we don't fight with you or buy your fruits, what do you want?" ”

The strange man looked at Chai Meng and said viciously: "Then none of you want to get out of this garden today." ”

When Chai Meng heard this, he immediately shook his hands, put on a big look, and said, "Then fight, do you still think we really can't beat you?" ”

Meng Tianchu scolded loudly: "Don't be rude. ”

Seeing Meng Tianchu's serious expression, Chai Meng quickly put away his posture, and the others also stood aside.

Weird: "What, don't you dare to fight me?" ”

Meng Tianchu said humbly: "This big brother, we were wrong first, where is there any reason to fight with you, you say, what else can we do besides fighting?" ”

The strange man took a good look at Meng Tianchu and said, "Ha, you haven't beaten yet, how do you know that you dozen people can't beat me alone?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "I don't want to fight with you at all, if we win, it will be a victory, if we lose, it will be a fiasco and a shame, this fight we don't have any meaning." ”

The strange man finally stretched his face, nodded approvingly, and threw the two spears in his hand to the ground, and the two spears were firmly inserted into the earth and stood on the ground.

"Hahaha, I heard your conversation just now, you are worthy of being a frank gentleman, since you don't want to fight me, then we won't fight, let's drink, what's your name?"

"Meng Tianchu"

"Yes, yes, Meng Tianchu, good name, Brother Meng, since you don't fight with me, how about you get drunk with me?"

Meng Tianchu has always been a good drinker, and the other party saw that he had no malice, so he said with a smile: "Zai Xia is also a good drinker, since this eldest brother said to drink, then we will drink well." ”

Xiao Nuo interjected on the side: "Brother Meng, we still have something to do." ”

The strange man was immediately displeased when he heard this, and said: "A woman's family, a man speaks, where is there a place for you to interject." ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Xiaonuo." Didn't you just say that when you come, you will be safe? Anyway, it's not far from where Wang Wu lives, let's drink and then leave. ”

Seeing that Meng Tianchu was also a cheerful person, the strange man patted Meng Tianchu on the shoulder vigorously, and Xiao Nuo hurriedly said: "Don't be so hard, my brother Meng has an injury to his left shoulder." ”

The strange man listened and quickly stopped. Meng Tianchu was still beaten to the point that he was already grinning.

"Hahahaha, let's go, go drink with me."

Meng Tianchu: "I don't know what to call the eldest brother?" ”

The strange man did not answer Meng Tianchu directly, but laughed and said: "There are three things that are most troublesome about people. Brother Meng, do you know what it is? ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head.

The strange man stopped and said, "Dress, eat, and choose a name." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help laughing and said, "Why these three? ”

Strange man: "If you want to wear this clothes, you have to spin and weave the cloth and cut it, and after putting it on, you have to take it off and wash it when it is dirty. If you accidentally hang a hole, you have to sew it up. ”

Meng Tianchu felt reasonable. He nodded.

Strange man: "This second point is to eat, I think this is more troublesome than the first point, you say, this person has been looking for food since he was born in his mother's womb." People say that they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, but I think they shut up when they enter the coffin. ”

Meng Tianchu laughed out loud and said, "It is indeed reasonable. The eldest brother continued. ”

Everyone said as they walked, the strange man was tall, fortunately, Meng Tianchu's height was not short, but just like that, he had to walk faster, and the people behind him would walk faster, Xiaonuo couldn't wait to do light work, it was too tiring to walk like this.

Strange man: "How many people do you say in the Ming Dynasty, why does everyone have a name?" What Zhang San, Li Siwang and Ermazidi, it is troublesome to shout, but it is even more troublesome to remember. ”

Xiaonuo finally caught up and said, "Then if you don't have a name, how can others know who you are?" ”

The strange man looked at Xiao Nuo with disdain and said, "Then you don't know my name now, is it that the next time you see me, you won't know me, you don't know who I am?" ”

Xiao Nuo said angrily: "You are the person who likes sophistry the most. ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Xiaonuo, haven't you always been very able to speak? It's finally time to meet your opponent. ”

Xiaonuo also put on a disdainful look and said, "I won't tell him." ”

The strange man laughed and said, "That's it, it's just my sophistry, Brother Meng, it's about to come to my house, we must get drunk today." ”

Xiaonuo: "You don't understand politeness at all, our brother Meng asked you what your name is, why do you always talk about him left and right, your name is very mysterious and can't be told to others?" ”

Meng Tianchu blamed: "Xiaonuo, don't be rude." ”

The strange man still smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I think this little woman is very protective of Brother Meng, isn't it your own sister?" ”

Meng Tianchu was about to speak, but Xiaonuo immediately said: "Don't say it, he won't tell you anything, and don't tell him." ”

The strange man and Meng Tianchu looked at each other and smiled, and the strange man said: "I have no surname, my parents have died since I was a child, I am an orphan, everyone in this village calls me Scar, and Brother Meng can also call me that." ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he felt a little pity for this five-year-old and three-thick man, and said: "Brother Scar, my little sister has always been like this, please don't be surprised." ”

Scar waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's just a little girl's casual words, so naturally I won't take Scar seriously." ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Scar's speech and behavior were different from ordinary reckless people, as if he had read some books, so he said, "Brother Scar, have you read some books?" ”

Scar paused and said, "That's not called a book, but I used to send a bundle of firewood to the private school gentleman's house in the village every day to exchange for some small money, and the private school gentleman saw that I had the heart to read and write, so he taught a few." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't speak, and then saw a thatched house in the depths of the orchard, very simple, but very clean, surrounded by fruit trees, and there was a stream flowing slowly in front of the door, as if he was in a fairyland, but there was also another scenery and interest.

Scar walked in front and entered the room first, Meng Tianchu was about to enter, suddenly Scar stopped, turned to look at Meng Tianchu who was about to enter the house, and said coldly: "Aren't you worried that I'm a bad person, will I set some traps to harm you?" ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "The gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, why do you have to work so hard to be a man?" ”

Meng Tianchu found that after he finished saying this, Scar's face twitched obviously, and the scar on his face was also distorted, looking a little terrifying.

When I entered the house, it was just a table, a bed, a stove and some simple daily necessities.

Meng Tianchu looked at Scar standing there a little unnaturally, and said with a smile: "Say, who are you?" ”

When Scar and the people in the venue heard this, they were a little surprised, Chai Meng saw that they were talking and laughing before, why suddenly the atmosphere was not right again, and hurriedly walked in front of Meng Tianchu to protect Meng Tianchu.

Scar said, "You..., what do you mean?" ”

Meng Tianchu pointed to the table and said: "The dust on it is very thick, which means that no one has lived in it for a long time, there is no firewood in front of the stove, it means that there is no cooking, there is no light on the wall, it means that no one will live at night, and there is no quilt on the bed..."

Scar finally interrupted Meng Tianchu's words and said, "Okay, okay,

After speaking, kneeling in front of Meng Tianchu, everyone was surprised.

Scar said: "Lord Meng, I am just sent by the Lord Long Live to protect you." ”

Meng Tianchu was very surprised when he heard this, and said, "Long live the lord? ”

Scar nodded, took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu A yellow ivory waist card, oval, with a flying dragon moire pattern ornament embossed at the upper end, and a round hole, which is used to wear a rope. Above the front of the card, the horizontal row of shallow engraved regular script "Zhejiang Hangzhou East Factory Chief Slaying Dragon" words, the left vertical row of shallow carved regular script "East Zhejiang word third pick-up number", the right vertical carved seal book "Guan Fang" two words. The middle of the reverse side is shallowly engraved with two lines of regular script 'Ordered to Arrest Affairs', and the regular script on the left ridge is shallowly engraved with the year and month of manufacture.

When Meng Tianchu saw it, he immediately helped the person up and said, "If it's really someone sent by the Long Live Lord, why are you waiting for me here?" Hooray hasn't mentioned this to me, have you? ”
