Chapter 19: Master Hurry Up

The brothers hurried and walked for five or six days, but this was still far from the seaside salt works.

At noon that day, the sun was scorching the earth. Although Li Biao and the others were carrying empty baskets and hurrying, they were walking under the relentless heat wave of nature, and their mouths were dry and dizzy. The two brothers were really tired of walking, and when they saw a market town in front of them, they thought that they could go there to find out the path, or they could eat something casually, and pad the bottom of their stomachs, which were already a little resentful.

After rushing for so many days, in order to save money, the brothers always drank water when they were thirsty, nibbled on some dry food when they were hungry, and when they were sleepy, they just found a place outside that could shelter from the wind and rain. Although they stayed overnight, thinking of rushing to the salt works as soon as possible. But after all, the road is long, and a pair of feet alone is indeed not something that can be said overnight.

The hardships are naturally indescribable, but the brothers always want to be able to live a good life at home. As long as you can make as much money as possible and go home, it's bittersweet and bittersweet.

Indeed, that's what the brothers have always thought in their hearts. Moreover, although Li Di also felt that the road was far away after shaving his head, he still felt relaxed. Of course, it was just a sense of relaxation, and he felt that it was a light-hearted pleasure that he had never experienced before.

He thought in his heart that he had finally made some small money when he came out this time, but this was only the first step in the Great Wall. - And his ultimate goal is to go to the salt works and sell salt at home. He also wanted to make more money and go home, because his mother had been planning to get a daughter-in-law for him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his new head, and even he felt much younger. In fact, he is also quite handsome, but he is a little burly, and he has a beard, which gives people a feeling of being a big man. Now, after the barber in Jewel Lane, these old feelings are gone, and he has the feeling of returning to his youth. Because he wasn't old, he was only in his early twenties, and it was only the beard on his face that showed him to be old.

The market town is getting closer and closer, and it seems that the market is rushing again. Li Di glanced at the empty basket and said to Li Biao, "Brother, if we still have our kumquats, we can sell them for a good price here." ”

"Brother, you want to make money and want to be confused, we have been out for so many days, if Kumquat can get here, our people may not be able to get here,—— so they will be tired and lie down. And, on such a hot day, it's no wonder that the kumquat doesn't rot. Li Biao said very shrewdly.

Li Di patted his head, "Yes, thanks to the guidance of the bear shopkeeper, if we can't, we don't know where to sell it." ”

"That's it."

"These days, they don't know where they have gone?" Li Di said to himself while hurrying.

"Brother, let's get some food first, I'm hungry." Li Biao did not answer his question, but pleaded as if touching his gurgling belly.

"Okay, let's go to the front for a light meal, I'm tired for a few days, and it's time to make a tooth sacrifice." Li Di replied in agreement.

While talking, the two brothers came to the town, and they saw a large group of people gathered around the black, but the restaurant next to it was empty. Seeing that the boss was still there, the brothers went into the restaurant, asked for a light meal and buried themselves in eating.

Li Biao looked at the crowd curiously while eating, but how could he see anything in the pile of people inside and outside. Li Di beckoned him to eat with peace of mind, and it was better to be nosy when he went out.

However, at the stall where they were eating, the brothers heard what seemed to be a fierce argument in the crowd, but it was only some Cantonese that they didn't understand. The brothers ate as well, but the voice grew louder and louder, and came clearly into their ears. Suddenly, the two brothers looked up at the crowd at the same time, as if they heard some familiar voice, and they both listened intently. Suddenly, Li Biao quickly ate all the food in the bowl, settled the bill with the restaurant owner, untied the purse and hung it on Li Di's head, and said to him, "Second brother, you take the basket and things to Tamsui Town, ten miles away, and wait for me, I'll go over and take a look, and then I'll catch up." ”

Li Di looked at his brother's eyes, stunned for a moment, he knew that his brother was going to be nosy again, and he wanted to stop it, but he felt that it was inappropriate, because he felt that the person trapped in the crowd seemed to be the bear's shopkeeper, which should be rescued, he stalked his neck, intending to come out together, but he was quickly stopped by the purse around his neck, he knew that this was what his brother meant, and he also believed in Li Biao's ability to deal with the crisis, so he didn't insist anymore, just nodded his head and said, "Okay." So he took up the basket and left the town alone.

Li Di knew that his younger brother was also going to draw a knife to help him, and when he was eating just now, he heard the voice of a bear shopkeeper in the crowd. They all walked the rivers and lakes together, and since they met, there was no reason not to help.

Originally, he wanted to stay, but when he thought that the money from selling kumquat was still on him. The younger brother asked him to go first, which meant that he didn't take risks, after all, those hard-won money were too important to their family. Moreover, he also believes that his younger brother is not a reckless person, and his martial arts are above him, so he will definitely retreat with all his might. So he didn't have to worry about going first.

At this time, Li Biao pretended to walk towards the crowd as if nothing had happened, and he wanted to hear the truth of the matter before making a decision. He learned from the whispers of those foreign merchants in the crowd that the local people here are strong and have always had the bad habit of buying and selling, and the outsider inside today will definitely suffer a loss.

Li Biaotan heard the general reason for the incident, and he also squeezed towards the core of the crowd leisurely. When he reached the middle of the crowd, as he expected, it was actually the bear shopkeeper who was surrounded by the middle of the group!

However, what is surprising is that at this time, the bear shopkeeper is sitting calmly on his knees. Almost no one was around him, closing his eyes and recuperating, letting those people curse unreasonably, and even nudge and beat, without any expression on his face. Like a lamb to the slaughter, but he always remained in an immobile position, and seemed to be indifferent.

Li Biao saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. In the face of the vexatious crowd on the street, how can you save him by yourself? No matter how good the martial arts are, now it is a whole street of people, especially now the situation is not clear, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no masters among these people. What's more, these two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a good man can't stand a lot of people.

However, such a good person as the bear shopkeeper is also his own countryman, it is impossible not to save it. And he is still the party that has suffered from *, and his own action at this time can be regarded as justice. Thinking of this, he was thinking about saving people, and he didn't have time to think carefully. I'm just thinking about how I can rescue the powerless bear shopkeeper in this crowded town.

He looked at the bear's shopkeeper, who seemed to be at ease, and then at a thick bamboo pole hanging horizontally in the attic on the street. Li Biao suddenly had an idea, he jumped up, jumped five zhang high on the ground, stretched out his hand to manipulate the bamboo pole, and fell in front of the bear shopkeeper, raised the bamboo pole and made a move to "sweep away the thousands of troops", pushed back towards the crowd in front of him, and let out a thunderous roar from his mouth, "Master go away, the apprentice is here!" ”

Only then did the bear shopkeeper open his eyes and saw that it was the "Shadowless Divine Finger" Li Biao who appeared in front of him like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and he was already relieved. But he just winked at Li Biao silently, then stared at everyone sternly, raised his legs and walked out of the crowd with his head held high......
