After everyone dispersed, Shi Jinzi and Sanniang talked in the hall. It turned out that since Sanniang followed her master Zhou Tong back to her hometown, it took more than ten days before and after, and Wang Jin's mother and son also resigned to go to Yan'an Mansion. Shi Jin and Taigong couldn't keep it, so he had to arrange a banquet to see him off.

Since Wang Jin left, Shi Jin just boiled up his strength every day, and he was in the prime of life, and he was not old or young, and he got up in the middle of the night to practice martial arts, and only shot bows and horses in the back of the village during the day. In less than half a year, Shi Jin's father-in-law was sick and couldn't afford it for a few days. Shi Jin asked people from near and far to ask doctors for treatment, but they couldn't be cured, and they were too public. Shi Jin prepared the coffin on the side, asked the monk to repair the good deeds, chased the seventh, and recommended the prince. He also asked the Taoist priest to establish a Jiao ceremony, overlived the birth of the day, made more than a dozen altars of good deeds and meritorious fruit dojos, and chose an auspicious day and a good time, and went out for funeral burial. The three or four hundred Shijia households in the village all came to send their filial piety and buried them in the ancestral grave on the mountain west of the village. Shi Jinjia has been unmanaged since then. Shi Jin refused to farm, as long as he looked for someone to make his family live and compete with guns and sticks.

Later, there were thieves and robbers in Shaohua Mountain, Shi Jin was afraid that this group of people would come to annoy the village sooner or later, so he summoned three or four hundred Shijia Zhuang households in the village, prepared equipment, repaired the gate wall, arranged the village, set up bangzi everywhere, tied clothes and armor, rectified swords and horses, and beware of thieves.

Today, the thief Kou jumping over the stream tiger Chen Da really came, and he only said that he was going to fight Huayin County by the way, Shi Jin was a hero, and he refused to weaken his reputation, where would he put it? After a disagreement, they started fighting, and Chen Da was captured by Shi Jin and returned to the village, and the rest fled back to the mountain.

After listening to Shi Jin's words, Sanniang specially asked how many times she fought with Chen Da before she captured Chen Da, and Shi Jin said: "There are about seven or eight rounds." Sanniang smiled and said: "Da Lang hasn't seen him for a few months, and his martial arts have improved even more, do you want to compare with my senior brother again?" ”

Shi Jin couldn't bear to say for a long time: "Senior brother, you don't know, since the master left, no one in the left near dared to compete with me, today that Chen Da was defeated in just a few combinations, and it didn't help, it was better to fork with the senior brother, and it would be easy to relieve the itching of the hands." ”

Sanniang smiled: "I'm still in a hurry, so I'll go and see it." ”

The two were about to get up and go to the backyard to compete, but Zhuang Ke hurriedly reported: "Zhu Wu and Yang Chun are here in the cottage." Shi Jin said angrily: "This guy is resting, dare to come and disturb me to compete with my senior brother, senior brother, you sit quietly, wait for me to catch him, and teach him to dismiss the two of them." Bring the horse here. ”

Sanniang stopped with a smile and said, "Why do you need Da Lang to do it? Your senior brother made a bet with you, you don't have to ring the bang, disturb everyone, your senior brother is so bare-handed, go out alone, and take the two thieves back in a moment, Da Lang dares to bet on the game? ”

Shi Jin's eyes widened and said: "Senior brother's ability, junior brother also knows, but he is so alone, and he is barehanded, he can get the two of them back, but Da Lang doesn't believe it." ”

Sanniang blinked and smiled: "Okay, senior brother will go out here, if either side loses, you have to promise one thing." ”

Shi Jin said: "This is easy, the junior brother should go down, the senior brother should be careful." ”

At that moment, Hu Sanniang came to the front of the village alone, only to see the two thieves Zhu Wu and Yang Chun walking, and they had arrived in front of the village, and the two knelt down, choking two tears, with a miserable look.

Hu Sanniang smiled secretly, it was a bitter trick, and stepped forward and shouted: "How do you two say when you kneel?" ”

It turned out that Zhu Wu and Yang Chun couldn't stop Chen Da from going to Huayin County, and they were suspicious and unpredictable in the village. Zhu Wu knew that it was not good, and asked the reason, and the little minion Luo Bei said that in the confrontation section, how to be a hero of Shi Jin. Zhu Wudao: "If I don't listen to my words, this will happen." Yang Chun said: "Let's all go, how about fighting to the death with him?" Zhu Wu said: "It is also not possible." He still loses himself, how can you beat him? I have a bitter plan, and if I can't save him, I and you will both give up. Yang Chun asked, "How to be bitter?" Zhu Wu whispered in his ear: "Only remove the ground." Yang Chun said: "Good plan! I will go with you without further ado. ”

So the two of them had made up their minds, and they came to see Shi Jin in front of the village, but what they didn't want to come out of was a young man who seemed to be weak and delicate.

Zhu Wu had never seen Shi Jin either, and when he was slightly surprised, he asked carefully: "Who is the little official from Zhuangshang?" ”

Hu Sanniang smiled: "I am Shi Jin's senior brother. ”

Zhu Wu was shocked when he heard this, but when he came to Shaohua Mountain and fell into the grass, he had asked people to inquire about the heroes and heroes left and right, and they all said that in addition to Shi Jin, there were Shi Jin's senior brothers and officials before, and they were even more heroic, but today they are such a weak person.

Suspicious, Zhu Wu asked again: "But Senior Brother Shi Jin is an official?" ”

Hu Sanniang said: "My reputation is familiar to everyone else, who dares to pretend to admit it?" ”

Zhu Wu no longer had doubts, and immediately pulled Yang Chun, and the two cried together, only to hear Zhu Wu say: "The villain waited for three, tired of being forced by the lawsuit, and had to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, and made a vow at the beginning: 'I don't want to be born on the same day, I only want to die on the same day.'" Although it is not as righteous as Guan, Zhang, and Liu Bei, their hearts are the same. Today's younger brother Chen Da did not listen to good words, mistakenly committed Huwei, has been captured by the hero in Guizhuang, no plan to plead, now I will die, I hope that the hero will be the three of me, a dismissal of the official reward, swear not to frown. I waited for the hero's hand to die, and there was no resentment. ”

After Hu Sanniang sneered after hearing this, she threw away the two ropes and said, "That is the case, you two are self-bound, come in with me to see Da Lang." Zhu Wu and Yang Chun were not afraid, took the rope and tied themselves, followed Hu Sanniang, until they knelt down in front of the hall and cried again.

Shi Jin heard the movement in the hall, and when he came out to see, he was dumbfounded, and he didn't want Hu Sanniang to go alone, so he really tied the two back in a moment. Shi Jinhu was hesitant, and stepped forward to Hu Sanniang and said, "What means did Senior Brother make?" Tie the two back together in a moment? ”

Hu Sanniang smiled slightly, and said to Zhu Wu, who was crying incessantly: "This Shenji military master has a good plan, and he sees that the enemy is not enough, so he resorts to this bitter trick, so as to teach you his way, and let the three of them go. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Wu and Yang Chun both secretly complained bitterly, but they didn't want this bitter trick to be seen through by this official.

Shi Jin was puzzled, and after Hu Sanniang patiently explained his doubts, Shi Jin said angrily: "If you dare to calculate me like this, come to someone, tie them up in the backyard together, and ask for credit in the county when you are young." ”

Sanniang stopped and said: "Although it is a plan, the three feelings are true." Da Lang, as the ancient saying goes: 'Big insects don't eat meat.' These three are righteous and righteous, and if my brothers and sisters take them to the dismissal and ask for a reward, the heroes of the world will laugh at us for not being heroes. ”

Shi Jin bowed his head and said: "What Senior Brother said is that I rely on Senior Brother's orders." ”

Zhu Wu and Yang Chun were relieved when they heard this, and they were grateful to Sanniang. Zhu Wu even thought that this official can see this bitter trick, which shows that he is very intelligent and intelligent, so that he is not like an ordinary hero, who only knows how to fight.

Shi Jin said: "Since my senior brother said it, you are so righteous, if I give you away, I am not a hero, how about I let Chen Da return you?" Zhu Wu said: "Hugh has tired two heroes, so if you don't want to be stable, you would rather let us go to the dismissal and ask for a reward." Shi Jin said: "How to make it?" - Will you eat my food and wine? Zhu Wu said: "I am not afraid of death, let alone wine and meat?" "There are poems as proof: the names are different, the death and life are the same, and the generosity is more than the emptiness. Just for the sake of being a well-dressed unrighteous man, he ordered Kussawa to see Qixiong.

At that time, Shi Jin was overjoyed, liberated Chen Da, sat in the back hall, set up a banquet, and treated the three of them. Zhu Wu, Yang Chun, and Chen Dabai thanked Daen. Five people came to the table, Sanniang sat in the first place, Shi Jin sat in the second place, and the three of them accompanied the prime minister.

After a few glasses of wine and a little spring, Shi Jin remembered to try to compete with Sanniang, and couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, you are already three points drunk, how about going to have a competition first?" ”

Sanniang smiled: "Let's go, let's go to the backyard and try again." ”

When Zhu Wu and the others heard about the competition between the two, they also wanted to see the methods of this senior brother, so they all applauded.

When the five people came to the backyard, Zhu Wu and the other three stood aside to watch. Seeing that the two of them each took a stick, after greeting each other, they began to compete and fight. Zhu Wu and the other three looked carefully, and saw that the two of them were like fierce tigers, and the two sticks were like two green dragons, rolling up and down, flying sand and stones, and the strong wind brought by the sticks was painful on their faces.

The three of them all secretly thought, both of them are so martial arts, even if the whole gang of the cottage is here, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the enemy. Zhu Wu was even more amazed, this official is really worthy of his reputation, his martial arts are so high, he has wisdom, and what is even more rare is that he is also righteous, he is really a hero.

When Zhu Wu looked at it carefully, his heart suddenly burst out, and he frowned and said secretly, how could this person be like this?

Shi Jin tried his best to fight for more than 30 times, and his hands and feet gradually softened, but the senior brother's stick was still heavier than a stick, and then gritted his teeth and fought a few times, and his hands and feet were already sore.

Hu Sanniang also seemed to see Shi Jin's cowardice, and after beating him with a stick, he forced him back a few steps, then took the stick and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you have grown a lot, but why did your jade ring step mess up later, and the luck method couldn't be continued later?" ”

Shi Jin gasped and said: "Senior brother's stick is heavier than the other, and the pace is scattered in the back, and the luck is not enough." ”

Hu Sanniang bowed slightly: "Well, it seems that I have to make more moves with you, and I can really feed you moves, so that you can go further in your martial arts." ”

Shi Jin was overjoyed and said: "It would be great to have a senior brother to feed him." ”

The two of them rested their sticks, and Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun cheered loudly, and Chen Da said: "The villain is a number of defeated generals under Dalang, and I can't imagine that Hu Guanren is even better." ”

Shi Jin was not annoyed, but said: "My senior brother is naturally stronger than me, how many of you know?" ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "Martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat, as long as Da Lang is willing to work hard, one day he will naturally be able to surpass his senior brother." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "That's right, a year and a half ago, when I was competing with my senior brother, I was taken away by my senior brother after only one combination, and now I can break up so many combinations with my senior brother, but I have worked hard." ”

Hearing this, Sanniang smiled, and immediately beckoned everyone to re-enter the table, and then drink.

When the wine reached seven or eight minutes, Sanniang got up and cleaned her hands, and when she turned back to the backyard for a while, she saw Zhu Wu standing there, as if she was waiting for herself any longer, and then stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Leader Zhu has something to say?" ”

Zhu Wudao: "I can't hide anything from the officials, and the officials take a step to speak." ”
