Chapter Thirty-Eight: Human Life
A Lingxiang that was only the length of a little finger burned to the head in less than a pot of tea.
Raising his eyes to look at the sun that had risen to mid-air, Master Xiong wiped the sweat that was constantly oozing from his forehead, turned his head and squeezed his eyes at the few green-skinned gangsters who were following him: "The guy is ready, when I speak, I will go to wash the yard of the big money pot guy first!" Especially for me, I kept an eye on the guy who only had one eye in the big money pot guy, and that was the master who took the lead in talking in the big money pot guy. Eighty percent of the money from the big money guy on weekdays is in his hands! ”
Slightly lifted the placket of his clothes, and several green-skinned thugs who followed closely behind Master Xiong invariably revealed the small pins pinned to their waists: "The brothers have already gathered around this scene, just waiting for your words!" Even the few things at the bottom of the box are also brought! ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Master Xiong stared at Ling Xiang, who only had the last bit of spark shaking, walked a few steps towards the center of the field, and shouted at the gangsters who were already sitting unsteadily on the Taishi chair: "Ladies and gentlemen, this Ling Xiang is about to be extinguished!" Look at my brother."
Before Master Xiong could finish speaking, a thin man with a broken straw hat suddenly burst out of the crowd of onlookers, rushed all the way to the Ling Xiang that was about to be extinguished as if he was drunk, and kicked the small incense burner out with his foot.
In an uproar, the thin man with a broken straw hat on his head sat down in the middle of the field, took off the broken straw hat on his head, and laughed at the bear monster with a mouthful of miserable white teeth.
There were sharp-eyed people in the crowd, and they suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Isn't this the white fool who was kicked out of Sai Qinqiong's pole?" Why did he also get into the big money guy? ”
"White fool? The guy who pretended to be half-crazy after getting a stick on the head five years ago? ”
"That's him! Originally, he was also the number one person in Sai Qinqiong's pole, and he didn't know whether he was really stupid or fake, so he shouted with Sai Qinqiong at the banquet for Sai Qinqiong's fortieth birthday."
"And then?"
"I confessed when I drew a dead draw with Sai Qinqiong and rolled the nail board! I heard that someone was asked to take a look at the doctor, and the wound poked out by the long nail on the nail board was full of black and slimy medicinal face, and the doctor stretched out his hand and touched it, and he was stung and jumped."
"Compared with Sai Qin Qiong, he is really a white fool!"
As if hearing the whispers of the crowd, the white fool who sat on the ground tore off his clothes in twos and threes, revealing the dense wounds on his back, and reached out to grab lice in the tattered clothes like fishing nets.
Squinting his eyes, Xiong Ye stared at the white fool who grabbed the lice and sent it to his mouth, took a deep breath, and shouted to the crowd of onlookers around the field: "The rules on the scene make the incense burner the same as the ancestral master's tablet, and those who are disrespectful will die!" Although this white fool is a person who has joined the gang, he still has to abide by the rules on the scene, right?! Among the big money guys, there is no one who teaches people to obey the rules?! ”
Accompanied by Master Xiong's loud shouts, from the crowd of onlookers around him, a voice suddenly sounded to the extreme: "Teach fools to understand the rules, this job is too difficult, let's leave Master Xiong to serve!" If you don't like this fool, then you can wipe this fool's neck with a knife? Speaking of the scene in the future, Master Xiong, you have a knife in your hand, and kill a fool with a knife to set up rules, who is not allowed to give you a thumbs up in this majestic pomp and circumstance! ”
In the midst of a squeeze with guns and sticks, a tall thin man wearing a tattered felt hat, a half-worn gown, and a pair of rag shoes at his feet slowly squeezed out of the crowd.
And behind the tall and thin man, twenty or thirty men in different dresses, but all with broken hats on their heads, followed one after another, and skillfully formed a semicircle behind the tall and thin man.
Rolling his eyelids, Duan Ye, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, only looked at these men who were dressed in tatters and had more or less traces of disability on their bodies, and suddenly sneered and snorted: "Good guy, the master who was driven out of the pole in Sijiu City, this time it is all work!" ”
The patrolman who was still standing behind Duan Ye stared at the tall thin man with an old felt hat for a long time, and then bent down to Duan Ye's ear and said, "Duan Ye, can you look at the head of the head?" ”
Lowering his eyelids again, Duan Ye muttered in a sullen voice: "The Qing Gang does not accept it, and the Hong Gang does not leave a desperate account, a few years ago, I came to the capital from outside the mouth, and I wanted to grab a chair in the Qinghong Gang with an apprenticeship post, and finally"
Looking at the tall thin man who had just taken off his old felt hat, the patrolman who was bent over was very energetic to break the casserole and ask: "Isn't it just a chair filled in the Qing and Hong gangs?" Give him a nominal chair to sit on, and within half a month, he won't be hungry enough to go to the house to uncover the tiles? ”
Raising his hand impatiently, Duan Ye snorted and responded: "You are wondering if you are the only one who understands in these forty-nine cities, right?" The bad thing is that the apprenticeship post in the hand of this peerless account is on the apprenticeship post - according to the seniority on the apprenticeship post, this peerless account is the generation of the word 'sincere', and it is the master generation of the two helmsmen of the Qing and Hong Gang in Sijiu City! ”
Fiddling with his fingers, the huffed patrol officer silently counted the typesetting of the Qing and Hong Gangs: "Strictly abide by the law, don't disturb the people, my emperor, this desperate account is really dead!" ”
As if he didn't care about the gazes projected on him by his surroundings, the tall thin man who took off his old felt hat didn't look at the gangsters sitting on the Taishi's chair, but just lazily shouted to Master Xiong who was standing in the middle of the field: "Master Xiong's brothers are not very particular? I didn't show my face, I took a stone and threw it inside the wall with the post, and it happened to be thrown into the pot of dog meat I was stewing! It's a pity that my pot of good dog broth is all called Master Xiong, and your post has been ruined! ”
Peeking at his red-eared and flashing eyes in the crowd, Xiong Ye endured the stuffiness in his chest, twisted his neck and raised his hand towards the thin and tall man: "The courtyard wall is separated by people, not by the number of roads!" Since the big money guy accepted this post about the scene, then he should follow the rules of the scene."
Without waiting for Master Xiong to finish speaking, the tall thin man sneered violently and interrupted Master Xiong's words: "The rules on the scene? If there are really rules on the scene, then there shouldn't be a big money guy in this Sijiu City! Look at my brothers in the big money guy, one is counted as one, all of them are called the people who talk about the rules on the scene to run out of rules! Now that he has to exchange his life for money to survive, it is really similar to singing the lotus flower and playing the domino to sweep the street and ask for food! I said, brothers, show your unruly men who are well-behaved in the scene in Sijiu City! ”
I only heard the thin and tall man shouting, and the men who were surrounded behind him with shabby hats and more or less disabled people suddenly took off their broken straw hats and held them in the palm of their hands, and opened their voices and shouted a lotus flower: "Lean on the pole to eat all directions, and eat meat at the head of the pole and I will drink soup!" The road is wide and the road is narrow, and I pull out the pile by throwing the donkey at the pole! You occupy all the majesty in front of people, and I swallow it up after people! When you don't see a smile, it's common to beat and scold and hurt! Get together a pot guy to survive, and people panic by exchanging their lives for money! Don't ask God to complain, just ask for the kindness of the rod head"
Reciting the lyrics of the lotus blossom that was obviously made up in a hurry, the disabled pot men each ran to the pole head that they had taken refuge into, and stretched out their upside-down straw hats to the pole heads who were sitting on the Taishi's chair like beggars.
Almost all of them had blue faces, and the pole heads facing three or two or four or five broken straw hats were all speechless by the obviously damaged lotus flowers. And the green-skinned gangsters who followed the leaders of their respective poles were even more embarrassed, a pair of slaps had already pulled out the water from the small pins pinned to their waists, but no one knew whether to go up to block those broken straw hats, or stay where they were and watch what happened?
Seeing that the brothers in these pot gangs under his command squeezed the pole leaders in Sijiu City half to death, the thin and tall man looked up to the sky and snorted, reached out and took out a big money tied with a red rope from his neck, and shook it towards the same blue face Xiong Ye: "Do you know why my pot guy is called a big money pot guy?" Just because the lives of my brothers and I are worthless, a life is at most a big money! Master Xiong, your family has a big business, and you are arrogant and expensive, can you still rush to fight with our brothers who have a lot of money and a life? My Joe really thank you for lifting me up! ”
Reaching out and slapping himself on the forehead, Joe saw a fake eyeball embedded in his socket come out of his hand and fell to the dusty street.
Bending down and picking up the extremely realistic fake eyeball, Qiao raised the fake eyeball high at a glance, and shouted to the crowd of onlookers around him: "Everyone look at my eyeball, this is because I Qiao didn't see people at a glance, burned high incense and worshiped ghosts, so I can only look at people at a glance in this life!" In this meeting today, since I dare to come, I don't expect my remaining eye to be kept! It doesn't matter who wins or loses on the scene today, I'll put the words here at a glance - if you lose, you will lose an eye! ”
Raising his hand and throwing the fake eyeball into the huge wooden box containing the ocean in the center of the scene, Qiao looked at Xiang Youbao who was standing aside and said in a cold voice: "I also said that my brother of the big money pot guy bullied you, and the price of this cat's eye stone is only a lot more than your two boxes of ocean!" If you don't believe anyone! ”
Catering to Qiao's command, the crowd suddenly sounded the voice of the fake monk's hoarse cloud: "Borrow light, borrow light!" ”
Pushing a short and fat old man with a Western magnifying glass and a piece of muntjac skin in his hand, the fake monks squeezed out of the crowd in five or six people, shouting in a loud voice: "You can all see it, this is the old courtier who is sitting on the top spot in the city of Sijiu, and he came to give us Qiao a glance Qiao Ye's opal stone valuation!" ”
With a bitter old face, it was obviously the old courtier who was caught out of the pawnshop by the fake monk, and grabbed the cat's eye stone that Qiao Yiyan threw into the wooden box, and then spread the piece of muntjac skin in his hand to the table of the eight immortals next to him, and then put the opal in the center of the muntjac skin, and carefully studied it with a Western magnifying glass.
It's just a bowl of tea, and the old courtier, who has a bitter face, seems to see the value of the cat's eye stone clearly, and habitually raises his neck and shouts: "Knock and hit a broken eye stone, dangdangdang"
Obviously, it was only in the middle of the sentence that he realized that something was wrong, and the old courtier, who had a bitter face, was so anxious that his throat gurgled, and he blinked his eyes for a long time, and fell down beside the table of the eight immortals!
It was so easy to wait for such an excuse to be sent to the door, and Xiong Ye, who was standing aside, suddenly came to his senses: "Did you hear that?" The old courtiers who sat on the top spot in Sijiu City all said that your fake eyeball was a piece of broken eye stone, how could it be worth so much money? According to the rules on the scene, real gold to silver, copper money gambling on the eldest son, happily also went to move two boxes of oceans! ”
glared fiercely at the fake monk who was constantly shaking the old court, Qiao sneered and took out a large stack of old or new house deeds from his arms: "I knew that someone would jump out and pretend to be stupid in this face, and these house deeds in Qiao Ye's hand are also more than 10,000 oceans!" If Qiao Ye admits to cowardice on the scene, all these deeds will be taken away! ”
casually threw the stack of house deeds into the open wooden box, Qiao looked up and down at Xiang Youbao, who had not spoken for a long time: "The scene has been exhausted, and it has all been worked on for a while, what's the matter, the one who came out of the main gate of the fire, open his mouth and row!" ”
Walked steadily to the center of the scene, Xiang Youbao first made a circle towards the people present, and then turned his head to face Qiao, who was looking at him coldly with one eye, and hugged his fist: "Master Qiao, the words are ahead!" Today, I made an appointment with the big money pot guy in the main gate of the fire, just for the big money pot guy to occupy my Xie Men God Uncle Xie's real estate! Right and wrong, everyone says that each family is reasonable, so let's talk a lot, let's follow the rules on the scene! In a word, it is the grandfather who wins, and the grandson who coaxes, from now on, everything will be listened to by the winner! ”
Staring at the sturdy tendon flesh of Xiang Youbao, and then looking at the indiscriminate standing posture under Xiang Youbao's feet, Qiao snorted slightly from his nostrils: "If you are a practitioner, you dare to shout at the big money guy?!" OK, it will be done to you! Paddle happily! ”
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiang Youbao raised his hand and pointed to the two Eight Immortal Tables that had already been set up: "Master Qiao, take a closer look, the things on these Eight Immortal Tables are all poisonous objects!" If you don't recognize me, you still have time to find someone who knows how to take a look, so as not to say that I am blind! ”
Glancing at the bottles and jars placed in duplicate on the table of the Eight Immortals, Qiao sneered disdainfully: "What's the matter?" Thinking of playing with your master for a life? ”
Shaking his head, Xiang Youbao pointed back at the open gate of the main gate of the fire: "In my main gate of the fire, there are only about a dozen people in the old and the young!" If you really exchange one life for another, I'm afraid that the people in my fire gate will die, and Master Qiao, your big money guy will still be strong and strong! ”
The two bald eyebrows suddenly raised, and the only remaining eye in Qiao's eyes flashed: "What kind of play is that?" ”
Stretched out his hand and took a rain-blue porcelain bottle, Xiang Youbao gently took off the cork made of corn cobs, and put the mouth of the bottle to the end of his nose and smelled it: "One family out of one, eat and drink these things in bottles and cans, and admit that you lose!" In the end, if no one responds to the scene, it will also be a loss! ”
didn't wait for Qiao to catch up with Xiang Youbao's words, and the fake monk who kicked and kicked the old Chaofeng woke up was already shouting at the top of his voice: "Master Qiao, don't let this kid go in!" Just this kid, his stomach is full of fancy intestines, and his navel is bubbling with bad water outward! He said that the contents of the bottle were poisonous, but who knows if he took the antidote first? ”
He easily touched a few pieces of ocean that the old Chao Feng had just woken up with in his arms, and then put the Western magnifying glass that had fallen aside into his arms, and the fake monk stood up with a snot snot, pointed at Xiang Youbao and shouted: "Sensei want to take some medicine immortal mouse things in front of Qiao Ye to play sloppy, if there is really a kind, swallow arsenic and drink salt brine, there are brothers in our pot to play with you!" ”
As if he had anticipated the clamor of the fake monk, Xiang Youbao raised his hand and poured the rain-blue porcelain bottle one by one, and the dark brown liquid flowing out of the thin-necked porcelain bottle fell to the ground, and instantly rose a pungent and sour smoke.
Through the pungent sour smoke, a few green-skinned thugs who knew the goods suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "This is the sour water used to wash jewelry!" ”
"What a guts! A drop on the hand of this thing can slap the slap to the ground, if you really drink it."
"Regardless of whether the main gate of Huo wins or loses this time, as long as there are three masters in the main gate of Huo who dare to play with their lives like this, then the main gate of Huo is stamped in Sijiu City, and Guan Bao is a certainty!"
casually threw the rain-green porcelain bottle aside, Xiang Youbao raised his finger and pointed to another identical rain-water celadon bottle on another table of the Eight Immortals: "If Master Qiao thinks I have played some tricks, then you can also ask someone to inspect that bottle?" ”
Glaring at the dumbfounded fake monk, Qiao raised his hand and swept aside the rainwater celadon bottle on the other table of the Eight Immortals: "There are a lot of flowers on the scene, since it is a scene that is put on display in public, it is natural to let the big guy see it!" So, you can tell what the contents of these bottles and cans are, there are many people in Sijiu City, and naturally someone can distinguish the real from the fake! ”
I didn't care about Qiao's fierce words, and Xiang Youbao casually grabbed a clay jar the size of a snuffbox: "What is contained here is a medicine, the big name is Artemisia Snow!" If there is someone who understands the craftsmanship of the medicine store in this scene, Lao Jia will come and take a look? ”
In the commotion of the crowd, the shopkeeper of a small pharmacy next to him was immediately pushed to the middle of the scene. After glancing at the medicine foam contained in the two small bottles, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy with a reluctant look on his face immediately raised his voice and shouted: "That's right, this is a snow artemisia!" Indications for bruises, rheumatism, bone pain and toothache. Topical use can also treat fractures, sprains, sores and swellings."
flew up and kicked on the butt of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and the fake monk shouted and scolded in a loud voice: "Who told the ** to come here to carry the prescription?!" Ma Yu'er said, can this thing eat the dead? Is there an antidote? ”
Holding his aching buttocks that was kicked by a fake monk, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak: "This medicine is poisonous!" Especially this unprepared snow artemisia, if the weight of a penny goes down, a bowl of tea will have to be killed, and the gods can't save it! ”
grabbed another round bamboo tube again, and Xiang Youbao politely handed the bamboo tube to the hand of the shopkeeper of the small pharmacy: "Don't bother the two masters, please take a look at this again?" ”
only opened the bamboo tube and looked at it, and the shopkeeper of the small pharmacy suddenly looked up in surprise and shouted: "This is a mountain eggplant, also called three thirds, and it is also a big poison!" You and I have to say more, this is really something that can kill people! ”
Gratefully arched his hand towards the frightened shopkeeper of the small pharmacy, Xiang Youbao retrieved the bamboo tube that the shopkeeper of the small pharmacy held tightly in his hand, turned his head to Qiao and said, "Among these things I have prepared, there are only these two kinds of poisonous Chinese medicine!" Master Qiao, it's not too early at this time, you see that we are here"
A hint of gloom flashed on his face, and Qiao gritted his teeth and laughed fiercely: "Hehe, the brother who is mixed up in the pot guy, he has long thought that he is a dead man!" Let's get a dead sign! ”
