Chapter Ninety-Eight: Adventure

Wu Ciyou's first infatuated girl

The green monkey is looking for provocation and meets a benefactor

Seeing off Huang Zongxi and others, Wu Ciyou was still standing on the riverbank, overlooking the lonely sails and blue waves, the vast sky, and couldn't help but sigh: The gathering and scattering of the world is so impermanent! Just thinking of the sad place, Li Yuliang, who came to see him off, suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Wu, I can't come to Anqing to join my relatives, and I have no way out, where are you going, big brother?" ”

"Well, I was going to go back to Yangzhou to see my home. According to Guang, my father has not returned from his travels, and his body is good, so he does not need to rush back, and wants to stay in the north for a few days. Wu Ciyou groaned, "Since you can't get married, why don't you travel together?" It's not far from Yanzhou Mansion, how about going to the house of Sage Confucius? If you want to do things in Beijing, I have a lot of friends, and if you recommend them, you will be able to do it in a few years. ”

"That's a good idea." Yu Liang pursed his lips and smiled, pointed to a big temple in the distance and said: "It's like a temple fair over there, let's be bored in the inn for a few days, let's go for a while, let's go for a while?" Wu Ciyou looked up at the sky, it was already midday, so he nodded and smiled: "The snow by the river has melted, there is nothing to see, it is good to visit the temple fair, just have some food there, and go back to the store after noon." So saying, the two of them got off the official road, and came to the west, and saw a crowd of black crows in the distance.

"Brother Wu," Li Yuliang kicked the small stones on the road playfully as he walked, and suddenly asked: "You are such a good learner, and you have been the emperor's master, why don't you stay in the capital as an official and run around to play?" ”

Seeing Yuliang's childishness, Wu Ciyou couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you know the story of Xu You's ears and Tao Qian's escape?" There were many such things in ancient times. ”

Yu Liang remembered something again, and asked playfully, "Don't you have a family wife?" ”

"Nope." Wu Ciyou's deep gaze looked into the distance, "However, it can also be said that there have been." ”

"How could that be?"

"Yes." Wu Ciyou was asked by him, his heart ached faintly, his face seemed to be hung with a layer of frost, and he said coldly: "It is better to be in the same bed than to be separated from Guanshan by God." ”

"Oh!" Yu Liang suddenly clapped his hands and smiled, "Oh, I see." ”

"What do you know?" Wu Ciyou stood still, and his shiny black pupils stared at the young partner and asked.

"It must be a childhood sweetheart!" Yu Liang said, "It's a pity that there is no order from your parents, the matchmaker's words, the two of you have made a private engagement for life, one will not marry, and the other will not marry - but is it?" ”

These words sounded too piercing, Wu Ciyou's eyes were full of tears all of a sudden, and he only nodded and did not speak.

"Is she Peugeot?" Yu Liang lowered his head and asked again in thought.

"She's not ugly, but she's not stunning." Wu Ciyou was irritable and didn't want to continue on this topic, so he said: "It's hard to explain what is going on hereβ€”let's go to the temple fair." ”

The sacrifices in the big temple are not saints, Buddhas, Taoists, or gods, let alone Guan Shengjun and Yue Wumu, but Zhong Saburo Daxian. This immortal family, Wu Ciyou has heard about it a few times along the way, where it is, even a knowledgeable person like Wu Ciyou can't think about it for a while, but he feels that its sect members gather at night, and they are a little sneaky, so they wrote it in the fold for Kangxi. When Wu Ciyou looked carefully in front of the temple with his hands behind his back, he realized that this was originally a dilapidated Shanxi Guild Hall, which was temporarily changed to a temple, and the newly replaced black lacquer plaque read:

Blessing one

There is also a pair of newly written couplets on both sides, a very beautiful regular script, but it is quite emotionally written:

What kind of feud? What iniquity is made? What kind of life is harmed? Spare you for turning your clothes upside down, and boasting that you have power in your hands on this day.

He has been greedy for profit, has taken all his fame, and has lost his conscience. Look at him rampant on the road, once there will be rain!

The following paragraph is a line of fine words:

Doctor Zhongxian knew that Yanzhou Mansion was born in Jinshi, and Zheng Chunyou congratulated him

In the first month of the ninth year of Kangxi, Gu Dan

Wu Ciyou shook his head with a wry smile, no longer entered the temple, and pulled Yuliang to the east of the temple. Li Yuliang didn't care about this, and said as he walked: "It's really lively here, the thirty-six lines are complete, and there are several times more than the people in the temple fair in our hometown in southern Shaanxi!" ”

Wu Ciyou smiled but didn't answer, and suddenly pointed to a bunch of humanitarians: "There are riddles in the crude medicine shop over there, why don't we go and have a good time and get two bottles of Suhexiang wine to eat?" Yuliang said with a smile: "If you lose, you have to buy his licorice and erhua tea, and on a cold day, we will go back with a lot of herbal tea, then it's a joke!" Wu Ciyou smiled: "Come with me, where will you lose?" So saying, the two of them crowded over, and when they looked up, a water sign read:

The lotus pond lacks water, everything sleeps together, and Zhaojun is out of the plug

Poetry and books accompany the homeland for a long time, and the hometown is reunited

The three provinces are full of immortal music and lotus flowers

The festival woman's golden chrysanthemum is all over the field, and her hair is dyed like ink

Xiang Yu rode the crown of the horses and moved the mountains

On the other few water cards, riddles are also densely written.

Wu Ciyou groaned slightly, then hooked the four flavors of "Zhaojun out of the stopper, poetry and books are long companions, three provinces and my body" and "Yugong moves mountains", and said to the guy: "'Zhaojun out of the plug' is 'Wang Buliuxing'; 'Poetry and Books Long Companion' is 'Rue Vanilla'......" The shop guy heard him guess, so he handed out two bottles of Suhe fragrant wine. Wu Ciyou continued to guess: "......'Three provinces and my body' is 'self-defense', and 'Yugong moves mountains' is 'Yuanzhi'. ”

He guessed it all in one breath, so the guy had to take out two more bottles and said with a smile: "If you are like Mr., the small shop will have to close in half a day!" Wu Ciyou listened to the meaning of his words with a taste of begging, turned his face to Yuliang and smiled: "If you get the lottery, these two bottles are enough for my brother to eat at lunch, and we will reward him with the pharmacy for the rest......."

While he was talking and laughing, he heard the noise of people nearby, and there was a shout: "Fight, fight!" He was accompanied by the crying and scolding of children. When Wu Ciyou turned around to look, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old unkempt hairy boy squeezed out of the pile, held a scallion pancake in both hands and bit it fiercely, and a slender man behind him was like a rolling pin, waving a fire stick and scolding and chasing after him......

"Old enemy!" The pharmacy guy was surprised when he saw Wu Ciyou, so he explained: "Poor this child, my father asked Zheng Chunpeng, the shopkeeper of this shop, to force the debt to death, and sold his mother to Guangdong." Now that Boss Zheng's brother has released the prefect, Boss Zheng is the big incense head of Zhong Saburo here, and his power is becoming more and more terrifying. This kid is also naughty, and he will go to his shop door to bury himself every few days. Saying that, he sighed, "He refuses to go away and fly high, sooner or later he will die in front ......of Boss Zheng's store."

Wu Ciyou was stunned when he heard it, and when he turned around, he disappeared Li Yuliang, turned around and saw that Yuliang had squeezed into the crowd and blocked the "rolling pin". He didn't bother to talk to his fellows, and hurried over with a bottle of wine in his hand.

"He's a kid." Yuliang bent down and dragged the hairy boy, turned his face to the "rolling pin" and said: "Such a deadly beating, adults can't bear it, what should I do if someone dies?" "People used to only stand in a circle and watch the fight from a distance, but when they saw people coming out to hug the grievances, they gathered more people. Wu Ciyou's easy to squeeze in front of him, pulled the child to him, and persuaded the "rolling pin" with a smile: "How much can he eat from you, just like this?" Killing people can't be too much! As he was talking, the boy in his arms slipped out, and as soon as he leaned over with his head, he hit the belly of the "rolling pin", and knocked him on his back to the sky. The hairy boy chewed the oil cake "phew" in his mouth and spit on the "rolling pin", and scolded in his mouth: "Your little master green monkey can't be killed, the green monkey lives for a day, and your old Zheng family wants to live here!" ”

The "rolling pin" was furious, and as soon as he turned over, he raised the fire stick and threw it at the green monkey, and the green monkey shouted: "Mom! A mouth gnawed mud lying on the ground, and when he got up, his face was covered with blood, jumping to his feet and crying and scolding: "I'll fuck you Huang Lao's four or eight ancestors!" You sold your fucking cunt to Zheng Chunpeng? Are you the son of the Zheng family dragging oil bottles? You fight, you fight! can't kill your master, the master is Zheng Chunpeng's master...... "The dirty, coarse, meaty, and vegetarian ones were all served outside, and the people around listened to them laughing.

"I'll call you hard-mouthed!" "Rolling pin" sneered and hit him again, but was grabbed by Li Yuliang and said coldly: "You can't fight anymore!" ”

"What can't you do?" Huang Laosi gritted his teeth and said, "You go over!" Kill this naughty beast and kill only a dog! As he spoke, he smoked the fire stick, who knew that after earning two pieces, the iron fire stick seemed to have taken root in Yuliang's hands, and he couldn't pull it anymore, and his face suddenly swollen red.

"I said you can't fight, you can't fight!" Yuliang grinned and said, "I don't believe that he is not even as good as a dog." How valuable can you be? Aren't you just a three-way running guy? With that, Huang Laosi staggered back five or six steps before he stood firm.

"Huh! Something strange happened in Anqing Mansion today! Someone outside the circle suddenly shouted. While talking, a sturdy man in his thirties broke in with four guys, looked at Yuliang and scolded Huang Laosi: "You are really talented!" These two little bastards can't deal with them - come on! After taking this green monkey to the store, he returned to Lord Zheng Xiang in the evening, and then made a fall! ”

"By you?" Yu Liang smiled and teased: "It seems that this Anqing Mansion is also a store opened by your family?" "As he spoke, he had to do it. Wu Ciyou didn't want to cause trouble, so he pulled Yuliang from behind and said, "Why bother! As he spoke, he asked Huang Laosi: "This kid eats your cake, I will pay for it, how much should it be?" ”

"One loaf a day!" Huang Laosi was already cowardly, but now that he came to help, he became stiff again, looked at Li Yuliang and said with a stiff neck: "Three years...... Ten taels! ”

"Fuck your stinking big ass!" The green monkey roared and jumped on his feet and was about to rush out, but was held down by Yuliang.

"Ten taels is ten taels." Wu Ciyou saw that this group of people was bent on making trouble, and he was afraid that Yuliang and the green monkey would suffer a big loss, so he took out two pieces of silver from his waist and threw them to the ground, pulled the green monkey with one hand, and pulled Li Yuliang with the other and said: "Let's go, let's find a place to eat." ”

Li Yuliang groaned, looked at Wu Ciyou and said with a smile: "Don't be angry with them, let's go!" Listening to the cool words and laughter coming from behind him, the arrogant Wu Ciyou was so angry that his hands were cold and his face was pale, but when he looked at Li Yuliang, he smiled as if he was nothing, and only gritted his teeth tightly.

As soon as the morning of the second day dawned, Wu Ciyou got up and paced to Yuliang's room, and saw that the green monkeys outside were sleeping deeply, so he called Yuliang through the curtain: "Get up, we should go on the road today." After calling twice, I didn't see Yuliang answering, and I was about to go in, but I saw Yuliang coming in from outside, and said with a smile: "On the road?" Where to go? Wu Ciyou said: "Yanzhou Mansion, didn't you say it well yesterday?" ”

"Delay it for another day," Yu Liang said with a smile: "Yesterday, I asked someone to sweep a cane, my arm hurt a lot, and I want to see Lang Zhong today." Wu Ciyou smiled: "Look at Langzhong, I'll be rough in the medical way, can I show you?" Yuliang said: "It's just a bruise, grab some medicine and fry it." ”

"That's good." Wu Ciyou said: "I'll go get you medicine, you wait, you won't be back in an hour." Li Yuliang stroked his right arm with his hand, looking a little painful, and inhaled cold air and said, "Then it's a big brother." ”

With that, Wu Ciyou went by himself. Here Yuliang pushed the green monkey: "Get up!" ”

The green monkey rubbed his eyes and sat up, glaring in confusion and said, "It's still early!" Yuliang smiled: "Wild monkey! Yesterday's beating was in vain? Unpromising! Come with me! The green monkey got up in a hurry, put on the new clothes that Wu Ciyou had given him, lifted his pants up with his elbow, wiped his face and said, "Go, and trouble them!" ”

Zhong Saburo's temple fair lasted for three days, this was the last day, and because of the wind and cold weather, there were far fewer people in front of the Shanxi Guild Hall than yesterday, and the Zheng family shop was already preparing to dismantle the sheds - these sheds were temporarily erected by pulling mat sheds and oilcloths from the old store, and the temple fair was still going to be dismantled and pulled back to the old store in the city - Huang Laosi was loading the car behind with his men in the back, and when he saw that there were customers in the front store again, he hurriedly greeted him, shouting with a smile on his face: "Old customers are coming......" shouted half, Suddenly, he stopped as if he had been beaten with a stickβ€”he saw clearly that the two guests who had come in were old acquaintances who had seen him every day for more than two years, and the other was a young pilgrim who had been fighting yesterday! Slightly stunned, he threw the towel over his shoulder, and said with his hand: "Please sit β€§β€§β€§ here!" What do you want β€§β€§β€§ want to use? ”

"What's so good about this place!" Li Yuliang sat down with Erlang's legs on his legs, and said to the green monkey with a smile: "Let's deal with the eight appetizers first-phoenix fluttering nest, bad goose paw, palace burst deer belly, ice flower white fungus bird's nest, bursting roe deer legs, chrysanthemum rabbit silk, dragon and tiger fighting, plus a chicken tongue soup, okay?" ”

Although some of these vegetable monkeys have heard of it, they have never even seen any of them, so they replied with a little hesitation: "Uncle must be good if he orders it, and add a 'living human brain does not see blood' to eat!" Yuliang had never heard of the name of this dish, so he couldn't help but be interested, so he asked Huang Laosi: "What kind of dish is this?" ”

Huang Laosi has already heard the sparks. If you talk about these dishes, prepare them in the city for a few days, and they can be roughly done, but at the moment, in addition to dozens of live chickens, they can barely make a bowl of chicken tongue soup, and the rest can't be done. There is no blood in the brains of living people', and the ingredients are very common: the tender tofu brains are dotted into a ball, marked with magenta on the outside, wrapped in egg whitesβ€§β€§β€§ all eaten like they are eaten, but it is not very interesting. ”

"I think it's funny!" Li Yuliang said with a smile: "Okay, it's not difficult for you, come a drawer of pine needle xiaolongbao and two roast chickens!" ”

This is easy to do, Huang Laosi endured his breath and agreed "yes", and served it up in a blink of an eye. was about to retreat, but heard Yuliang say, "Come back!" You see, the buns are as cold as ice cubes, and the chickens are also cold, which is for people to eat? As he spoke, he knocked the plate with chopsticks, causing several customers over there to look at him.

Huang Laosi touched it with his hand, the bun was not cold, the roast chicken was also slightly steaming, and the two of them were entertaining themselves, but the guys in the store didn't come back to deliver the materials, and the shopkeeper of the branch was not there. "So be it!" Li Yuliang waved his hand a little impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up!" We're in a hurry! Huang Laosi was relieved, trotted to rectify Qi Chu, and sent it over with a strip plate.

Li Yuliang said that he was "in a hurry to have something", and when the meal came, he was not in a hurry, while eating slowly and methodically, he talked with the green monkey with or without a match, and asked for soup for a while, vinegar and ginger for a while, and from time to time he had to wipe his face with a hot towel, and said that there were bones in the dumpling filling and teethβ€§β€§β€§ and all kinds of topics emerged one after another, and he also said some cool words, and made Huang Laosi so angry that he smoked, and saw that the guys who entered the city and the shopkeeper of the branch were coming, so he quietly went in to discuss the treatment of these two tricksters.

After eating for a while, Li Yuliang got up with a smile and stretched his waist and asked the green monkey: "Have you eaten well?" The green monkey pulled the tablecloth to wipe a handful of oily mouths, and said with a sigh: "It's full, it's not much better than scallion pancakes!" Yu Liang waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

"Heyβ€§β€§β€§ hey!" Huang Laosi saw the two of them get up and left, without even saying hello, he rushed to the door first, stopped with both hands and said, "Where's the money?" Can't account anymore? ”

"What's going to happen?" Yu Liang seemed a little inexplicable, "What did our master eat of you?" ”

"Steamed duck and dumplings!"

"Huh?" Yu Liang laughed and said, "That's what we exchanged for roast chicken and pine needle buns!" ”

"What about pine needle buns and roast chicken money?"

"We didn't eat these two things, what do we pay for?" Yu Liang pretended to be surprised, turned his face and smiled at the green monkey. The green monkey made a strange appearance and scolded Huang Laosi: "Thin yellow dog! You didn't eat your roast chicken buns, what kind of dick money do you want? ”

Huang Laosi tilted his neck and thought for a long time, but he couldn't find the words to explain this matter clearly, and said with a sneer: "Hungry wild mongrel, I came here to practice the master today!" Before the end of the word, only the sound of "pop" was heard, Huang Laosi had a palm on his face, and he spun a grinding circle on the spot, and he was slapped on his face as soon as he stood up, and a big tooth was knocked out, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Huang Laosi howled like a pig: "Come out!" Block the door, don't go these two thieves! ”

The men behind listened to this bluff, some of them were holding fire scissors, some were waving fire sticks, some were holding shovels, and they rushed out in a swarm of bees, and there were more than 20 people. A few diners inside saw that the limelight was not right, and they were so frightened that they didn't eat and squeezed out, and for a while they shouted and screamed, and there were hundreds of idlers outside the store who watched the excitement.

"Green monkey, you go out!" Seeing that the guests were all gone, Yuliang sneered and lifted the green monkey and threw it out from a row of soup pots in the storefront. Seeing that Yuliang was weak and a delicate white-faced scholar had such skills, the idlers couldn't help but cheer loudly and shouted: "Good martial arts!" He craned his neck and looked inside.
