Chapter Ninety-Three: Living Up to the Promise
Zhang San remembered the lines of a poem he had heard before, got up and turned on the lamp, spread paper on the table and wrote casually:
I have worried about the love and damage to the Brahmanic practice,
When you enter the mountains, you may not fall into the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The world is safe and perfect,
Live up to it.
Zhang San looked at this poem, although it could express his feelings, but he made himself feel like he was going to become a monk, and remembered a lyric in a song he had heard before and wrote it down on paper casually:
Call the Buddha, and there is no shore to turn back.
It's ridiculous to think about it, so he made a ball of paper and threw it on the ground, thinking about some recent things, Zhang San was like a world away, he was still a market splash last month, and followed Li Si and others to the Xiangguo Temple vegetable garden to steal vegetables.
After this month, he not only bought a manor, but also won the name of Zhang Sanlang, who is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, thinking about Song Jiang's titles, Zhang San suddenly felt that he now had a little urge to compete with him.
Zhang San couldn't help but think that Song Jiang should still be in Huncheng County at this time. Zhang San sat and thought nonsense until he was a little sleepy and then blew out the light to sleep.
On the second day, after Zhang San finished washing, he punched in the yard for a while, everyone had breakfast, Zhang San rushed to the city with the money, and after entering the city, he first found a money bank to exchange the copper coins for silver so that it was easy to carry.
When he arrived at the boxing gym, he saw that Lin Chong was already waiting for him at the door, Zhang San stepped forward and said, "Oh, the little brother is late, and I hope that Brother Lin will forgive me." ”
Lin Chong was also very happy to see Zhang San and the others coming as promised. Hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Zhang came just in time, hurry up and follow me in, the family teacher has returned to the capital last night, and I heard that the brother's righteous act is also admired, and I have to thank you in person today." ”
Zhang Sanyi heard that Zhou Tong was coming back, and said in surprise: "Really, take me to meet Teacher Zhou." ”
Lin Chong pulled Zhang San into the courtyard, and at the door of the living room, Shi Wengong, Lu Junyi and others were waiting for Zhang San and others around a middle-aged uncle in his forties and fifties.
Zhang San looked at the middle-aged uncle carefully, he had neither a fairy style nor a demeanor, but just looking at him to that station, he felt like he was near a mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. Zhang San really wanted to step forward and say: "My admiration for you is like a surging river, ...... continuous." ”
Zhang San didn't need Lin Chong's introduction, so he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Villain Zhang San, it's really a blessing to see Master Zhou today." ”
The middle-aged man stepped forward and asked Lin Chong: "Is this the benevolent and righteous peerless Zhang Saburo who has been rumored in the capital recently, he is really a heroic boy, a young hero." ”
Zhang San said shyly: "Master Zhou has praised it, everyone in front of you is worthy of the word hero." ”
Zhou Tong motioned for everyone to sit in the hall with his hand, and everyone sat down in a priority manner, Zhou Tong said: "I came back last night, and I heard that Chong'er mentioned yesterday's incident, thanks to San Lang's timely reminder, otherwise it would have almost ruined the life of a good man." ”
At that moment, Lin Chong continued: "Yes, yesterday I went to the prison of the Criminal Department to listen to it, and at first I said that I was not allowed to visit, and when I came back, Senior Brother Lu reminded me to let the money in, and the hero had been beaten a hundred times, and the water and rice did not enter the prison for a few days, and I scattered dozens of dollars before I was able to hand the medicine and rice in." ”
Zhang San nodded and thought. It is only a fool like Lin Chong who doesn't know the Tao here, and when he goes to inquire about the news, he doesn't know how to make money, Zhang San nodded and said: "In this case, we might as well do things quickly, lest that good man continue to suffer in prison." ”
After that, Zhang San motioned to Yang Tai to take out his backpack and said: "I am also doing some small business with my brothers, I went back yesterday and barely made up 3,000 yuan, and now I have changed the silver, although Master Zhou takes it and uses it, if it is not enough, I am thinking of a way." ”
Zhou Tong stepped forward to take the money and said: "There is a way to know the strength of the grass, and San Lang Gaoyi Zhou is very grateful." ”
Zhang San smiled and said you're welcome, the next thing doesn't need Zhang San to come forward again, Zhang San got up to say goodbye, Lin Chong came out to send, on the way Zhang San was a little strange and asked: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Master Zhou is admired in the sea, and he is also the Tianzi teacher of the Tokyo Imperial Boxing Gym, why is it difficult because of these thousands of times." ”
Lin Chong smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, this Tokyo is expensive, land rent, rice and grain are not a small expense, it is not easy for people from other places to come to learn boxing in Beijing, the master always pays money, and the master has many old colleagues to visit, and the master is reluctant to ask for help today......"
After listening to it, Zhang San finally understood, Zhang San remembered that Lin Chong later spent thousands of yuan in order to buy that treasure knife, and Lin Chong was just a leader in the forbidden army who could take out thousands of yuan, there was no reason why such a good master would not have it, it turned out that this was the reason.
After Zhang San said goodbye, there was nothing to do, Zhang San took Yang Tai and the three of them to wander around the street, Zhang San thought that if he was lucky, he might be able to meet a master in distress or something.
It's just that although it is the capital, it is not a master everywhere, there are a lot of jugglers and dancing sticks along the way, but most of them are flower fists and embroidered legs, occasionally good, one by one eats with big shoulders and round waists, it doesn't look like a disaster, so that I think it's better than Zhang Sanming's.
Everyone wandered around until noon, and when they were hungry, they casually found a steamed bun cookcake shop, asked for a few cold dishes, and ate fifty or sixty steamed buns. As for why there are so few, it is because Zhang Yuanba has passed the original stage of hunger and panic, and now he is full of forty or fifty cooking cakes.
Everyone watched Zhang Yuanba eat buns one by one while eating, and felt interesting, seeing that his stomach did not show much change for his appetite, even if the food he ate recently was good, but his figure was still so thin, which was strange.
Zhang San and the others ate quickly, and after eating, they felt that someone was looking at them, so they looked around, and it turned out that there was a little beggar by the doorpost of this foot shop who was holding the doorpost and watching Zhang Yuanba stuff buns into his mouth one by one.
Zhang San looked at the drooling child, picked up two buns and walked to the door, squatted down and handed them to him and said, "Come and give them to you, take them and eat them." ”
The beggar looked at Zhang San in surprise, hesitantly took the two buns and held them in his arms, took a few steps back, made sure that Zhang San was not lying to him, turned around and ran, until he ran to the opposite street before turning around, bowing to Zhang San and disappearing into the corner.
Zhang San motioned for Yang Tai to follow and let Liu Yun stay and wait for Zhang Yuanba, and the two followed in the direction where the little beggar was walking.
Zhang San followed the little beggar around the corner to a secluded alley, watching the little boy disappear into the alley with a bun, Zhang San followed and looked inside to see that this side was a narrow dead end, in the alley there were a few broken baskets and broken mats in the narrow space of the siege, and some weeds were spread on the ground.
Zhang San stood at the foot of the wall and watched the little boy carefully lift the mat, revealing that there was an even younger beggar inside. The little boy looked at her and said, "Xiaohua, we have something to eat today, and a kind big brother just gave me two buns." ”
The little boy happily showed off the bun in his hand. It's like a great trophy.
