Chapter 4 Admiration for the Second Young Master
Not long after, the real person also walked out of another secret room with the medicine box, Meng Yi, Xin Yang, and Hu'er also walked out, Lu Caiting stepped forward, the real person glanced at him and comforted; "It's not a big deal, tomorrow morning, after the medicinal properties have passed, they will return to normal, let's go and rest early!" Seeing that Lu Caiting was a little hesitant, the real person smiled; "Na Ting'er and Hu'er stay here, Yi'er, Yang'er go and get two brown mats and futons for your senior brother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Meng Yi, Xin Yang quickly took two palm mats and futons, Lu Caiting and Hu'er spread the palm mats and futons on the ground of the two secret rooms respectively, and they were not at ease, and they had to take care of the wounded all night.
Meng Yi, Xin Yang hurriedly said goodbye when he saw this; "Senior brother, Brother Hu, rest early, your guns and packages are placed under the girl's bed, see you tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lu Caiting, Hu'er walked into the silver phoenix room, Lu Caiting closed the door while taking off the shell gun from the back waist and said to Hu'er; "Now the situation is special, accidents can happen at any time, and the gun is refilled."
The silver phoenix had fallen asleep and slept peacefully, Hu'er glanced at her, bent down and pulled out two packages from under her bed, opened them respectively, there were a total of twelve brand-new shell guns, the blue ones were shining under the lamp, Lu Caiting leaned down and picked up a shell gun, and praised again and again; "Good gun, good gun!"
The two of them quickly replenished the bullets in the gun, and then re-wrapped the package and put it back under the bed, Hu'er went back to the next room, Lu Caiting and his clothes fell on the palm mat, closed his eyes and rested, but his heart was undulating, and his thoughts were full of thoughts, he knew that maybe from tonight, he would enter a bloody and fierce combat career......
As soon as the sky was bright and winged, Xin Yang had already finished practicing his morning exercises, and when he came to the secret room, the two of them looked at the wounded in the two rooms respectively, and then said to Lu Caiting and Hu'er; "Judging from their complexion, they are recovering well, don't worry, you go to have breakfast first, here we watch, when they wake up, we will get them goat milk to drink, we have several dairy sheep on the mountain behind the Taoist temple."
Lu Caiting and Hu'er left the secret room and walked towards the dining room of the main hall, this secret room is in a hidden place in the corner of the view, plus the smoke and rain view was originally built according to the mountain wall, and the building in the view is also surrounded by eaves and arches, surrounded by winding paths and corridors, this place is not easy to be noticed.
The two of them came to the dining room next to the main hall, there were already many Taoist priests in the breakfast, Yunhe Zhenren was also among them, this Taoist priest and the fire worker also had more than 20 people, the two of them were busy saying hello to other uncles and brothers, and finally came to the real table to sit down.
The Taoist priests in Guanzhong all know that Lu Caiting is a real layman's favorite apprentice, and they also like him to have a sweet and lively mouth, and his popularity is very good.
Lu Caiting whispered to Yunhe the truth; "Master, that girl is a member of the Communist Party's New Fourth Army, often preaching anti-Japanese propaganda in the county, shooting Japanese traitors, and the people on the rivers and lakes are called 'Silver Phoenix', because she is a member of the New Fourth Army, and the people affectionately call her 'Sister Sifeng'."
The real person put down his chopsticks and nodded; "The person who can make your kid sacrifice his life and death to rescue is naturally not an idle person, aren't you going to find the New Fourth Army? Now it seems that it is a providence matchmaking, you two will go to the secret room to stay after eating, don't come out, lunch and dinner are sent by your junior brother, for the teacher is worried that the devil and traitor will not give up, in case someone comes to search...... Although there are bandits everywhere on this mountain, and the devils and traitors have suffered losses and will not go up the mountain easily, it is better to be careful. β
Lu Caiting and Hu'er obeyed the orders of the real person, and returned to the secret room after eating.
The silver phoenix has woken up, and her spirit has recovered like an ordinary person, her beautiful round eyes are still so bright and energetic, Xin Yang helped her up and sat upright, and was feeding her goat's milk and eating egg noodles, seeing Lu Caiting and Hu'er coming in, she laughed and joked; "Little brother, you can rest easy now, my sister has finished drinking goat's milk, and now the noodles are delicious again."
Lu Caiting stared for a while and asked with concern; "Fourth sister, is the wound still painful?"
Silver Phoenix replied with a smile as she chewed on the noodles; "It doesn't hurt anymore, this injury is nothing."
Hu'er glanced out the door and asked with concern; "Xin Yang, how is that kid next door?"
"That kid is good, gobbling it up, boasting about goat's milk, egg noodles and noodles." Xin Yang replied while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he had already finished feeding goat's milk, egg noodles, picked up a towel and handed it to Silver Phoenix to wipe his mouth, and then walked out of the room with the dishes and chopsticks.
Lu Caiting moved a chair and sat on the side of the bed, and said to Silver Phoenix seriously; "Sister Sifeng, I know you, you are a member of the New Fourth Army of the Communist Party, I have heard your speech and propaganda in the county town, your call is awakening the hearts of our young people, we are boiling with blood, we want to join the New Fourth Army to kill devils and traitors, and save our nation from danger."
"Wow-" When the silver phoenix heard him say this, she couldn't help but move her body, her phoenix eyes flashed, and she said with a little excitement; "A good young man like you who has ambitions and is both civil and military should have joined our New Fourth Army a long time ago, you are my savior, I won't hide it from you, I am a member of the Communist New Fourth Army, come, let me introduce, my name is Lin Zhifeng, one of the organizers of the county party committee in the Mongolian region, I welcome you on behalf of the New Fourth Army, tell me about your resume?" After speaking, he enthusiastically stretched out his left hand to Lu Caiting.
Lu Caiting held her hand, her hand was delicate and silky, but warm and kind, a stream of heat came from her hand, and immediately hit Lu Caiting's whole body, his chest was full of passion, a long-lost hunger and thirst for seeing each other suddenly appeared, his voice was a little trembling, but it was very crisp and authentic; "My name is Lu Caiting, I am the second young master of Qinglongtang in Shuangji Town, Qinglongtang is a local gang in the rivers and lakes, and it also operates a general dock transportation and a road for water and land transportation......" He immediately explained his family situation and background and the origin of the Yanyu Guan Shimen in detail without reservation, and finally told him how his senior brother asked him to join the **** to form a special combat team to eliminate the devil sniper, how he changed his mind, and his plan to join the New Fourth Army was also said.
Lin Zhifeng listened carefully, and after Lu Caiting finished speaking, she still didn't say a word thoughtfully, and after a long time, she sighed with emotion; "Qinglongtang is actually operating coolies to make a living, more than two or three hundred people in the hall are hot-blooded men who practice martial arts, as if your brother is the master of the hall Daqinglong Lu Caibin is upright, excellent in martial arts, can be regarded as a pivotal figure in the Mongolian region, our county party committee has found someone to win him to join the New Fourth Army, but he is reluctant to leave behind those brothers and business who dragged his family and mouth, according to the situation I know, Qinglongtang is not big, but it is very loud in the rivers and lakes, respected, in fact, the reason is related to the personal experience of Daqinglong Lu Caibin, He used to be the head of the Five Elements King Kong of the Sword Hall under the Shanghai Green Gang tycoon Du Yuesheng, the Five Elements King Kong Green Dragon, the Black Tiger, the Flying Eagle, the Fire Leopard, the Giant Bear, Lu Caibin is the Green Dragon, and then he didn't resign because he was wronged, and then Du Yuesheng knew that he had wronged him, and he also sent someone to ask him back, but he didn't agree, there was another person in the Five Elements King Kong who had a very bad character, that is, the Flying Eagle Yin Kun, after being expelled from the Sword Hall of the Green Gang, he returned to Yuxi County to establish the Flying Eagle Hall, and as soon as the Japanese came, he became a hardcore traitor, Now he is the head of the security regiment of the security army in the Mongolian region of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the world has changed, and things are gathered together...... We used to regret that we didn't win Lu Caibin, but now I can't imagine that his younger brother took the initiative to join our New Fourth Army, I'm so happy......" Speaking of this, her face was full of joy, her round chest rose and fell slightly, and she really looked very excited.
Lin Zhifeng's dark eyes kept turning, and suddenly, she asked; "Brother Lu, you just said that the commander of the **** new sixth division is your fellow senior brother, and he wants you to go to **** to form a special combat team to deal with snipers from devils, so the role of the special combat team in the army should be very great?"
Lu Caiting replied firmly; "The special combat teams in the army are all selected excellent soldiers, and after strict special training, their quality and combat effectiveness are naturally strong and outstanding, and although the special combat team I want to form is not professional in the army, they are all martial arts masters with unique skills, and their killing ability will never be weaker than that in the army, just like the heroes and heroes in Liangshan Boli, all of them have their own unique skills, everyone is strong, they use one to block ten, or even one to block hundred, they are the elite in the army, Their offensive and destructive role is incalculable. β
Lin Zhifeng listened happily and couldn't help but interject; "Then you can also set up a special combat team for our New Fourth Army, so that we can improve the combat capability of our New Fourth Army and fight devils more effectively."
"Of course," Lu Caiting agreed, arrogantly and dryly; "Since I have chosen to join the New Fourth Army, I will definitely form a brave and combat-ready special combat team for the New Fourth Army that will make the devils fearful!"
Lin Zhifeng suddenly asked as if she remembered something; "Baggage, where is the baggage on my back?"
Hu'er hurriedly pointed to her under the pillow and said; "Sister Sifeng, your burden is under the pillow."
Lin Zhifeng glanced at Hu'er and said with a smile; "I have an arm injury, please let the little brother open it for me."
Hu'er walked into the bedside, reached out and took out the burden from under the pillow, and then put it on the bedside futon, which was a white floral cloth bag on a blue background, and the burden was opened, and there was a folded red cloth and many round oceans inside.
"Open the red cloth." Lin Zhifeng continued to command.
Hu'er picked up the folded red cloth and opened it carefully as instructed, and in an instant, several people's eyes flashed, and the room was full of light, this is a red flag, on which are embroidered with yellow silk thread a few eye-catching big characters 'New Fourth Army Mengshan Anti-Japanese Independent Column', to be precise, this is a New Fourth Army battle flag.
Lu Caiting and Hu'er stared at the military flag with wide eyes, both surprised and excited.
Lin Zhifeng explained slowly; "There was originally a Suxi detachment of our New Fourth Army in the Mengmeng area, which was also adapted from the original guerrillas, commander Xiao Yuanshan, political commissar Bi Xingzhou, although they had seven or eight hundred people, but the weapons and equipment were backward, and they could not fight head-on with the Japanese army, they were active in the Qudao Village on the bank of the Yuma River, Huluyu and Shuixia area in the Lingdang area, their current situation is very isolated, facing the devil's Yokohama Xuan Regiment in front, the Yuxi County Military Police and the Security Corps of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the right wing of the Mengmeng Mountain is guarded by bandits, and the left wing has **** In view of the current situation, the provincial party committee and the county party committee, after repeated deliberations, have decided to form another independent column in the area of Jiang'ao and Dongqiao Village on the eastern side of the mountain, and this column will form a horn with the detachment and cooperate with each other, so that the detachment will not be isolated and helpless, and the situation of establishing a base area in the mountainous area will also be opened up immediately. It will be connected with Qudao Village, Huluyu, and Fengling on the bank of the Yuma River, and the anti-Japanese base area will be even stronger, and the mountains of Dongqiao Village are steep and dangerous, and there is a ladder slope as a barrier, and it is difficult for devils to go up the mountain, and it is not easy to sweep on a large scale, and heavy weapons cannot go up the mountain at all, and it is very suitable as a guerrilla base area, I was appointed by the provincial party committee and the county party committee to form an independent column there, and served as a political commissar, this military flag is embroidered by my own hands, and there are also funds for the preparation of the provincial party committee and the county party committee. The underground party comrades there have made preliminary preparations and organized dozens of people, the injured young man next door is called Liu Twelve, who is my traffic officer, and the two of us were accidentally targeted by the spies of the gendarmerie detective team when we set off from the county, these detectives were very cunning, and wanted to follow us to our destination, but we were found by the two of us when we went up the mountain, so we changed direction and had a shootout with them, and we met the two of you at a critical moment......
After Lu Caiting listened to her encounter with the detective team on the mountain, she stepped forward and reached out to gently stroke the apricot yellow embroidery on the military flag, and then swore categorically; "Fourth sister, brother made an oath to the military flag, from now on, we will follow you and the New Fourth Army, unite as one, work together, kill the devils, and let our military flag fly high on the mountain of Mengmeng."
"Isn't this right, with your brothers joining, our independent column will be like a tiger with wings, and it will soon rise vigorously and set off a wave of resistance against Japan." Lin Zhifeng said with great interest, from the first time she saw these two teenagers shoot the traitors of the detective team, the swift skills of the white horse through the gap, and the accurate marksmanship have already shocked her heart, in her heart they have long been legendary rangers and heroes who fly on the wall, she then smiled deeply with feeling; "It's really a providential trick, and it is a ...... of fate" She smiled happily, and even looked a little innocent and romantic, beautiful as a brilliant glow.
Lu Caiting folded the flag of the general, tied the burden again, and put it back under the pillow, he thought for a while; "The ancients said that Xiucai rebelled for three years, although I can't talk about Xiucai, but I am also a scholar, we are not like other scholars, just talk and don't practice, let's do what we say, since you already have dozens of people there, I will go down the mountain to the county seat, because there are many of my classmates and friends in the county, they all want to join the New Fourth Army, and are trying to find ways to find people in the party to match, I am afraid of extraneous branches, I will directly inform them not to look for it anymore, and after seven days, go directly out of the city to Jiangjun Ao, Dongqiao Village convergence."
"Why seven days later?" Lin Zhifeng was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking.
Lu Caiting touched his forehead with his hand and explained embarrassedly; "Because the fourth sister's injury will not be removed until seven days later, and it will be considered healed."
Lin Zhifeng commanded anxiously; "The wound has stopped bleeding and stitched up, and I can take the wound there so that they will meet there tomorrow, and the comrades there are eagerly looking forward to me."
Lu Caiting smiled, and then explained; "Fourth sister, don't worry, I informed them to meet there in three days, one is that the fourth sister's injury needs to be recuperated for a few days, for fear of infection, and second, my classmates and friends still have some weapons, and when they go out of the city, they must avoid the city gate sentry inspection, I'm afraid it will take a little trouble."
Lin Zhifeng saw that he was reasonable, and he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.
Lu Caiting told her some of the situation of his classmates, especially the 'four-eyed Zhuge 'Ning Chenlong, saying how he was proficient in the art of war on the march and fighting, resourceful, and a little fanciful, in fact, among his classmates, he admired Ning Chenlong the most, he often joked with Ning Chenlong, "In the future, when we finish reading and enter life, if it is a peaceful era, I must be your subordinate, if it is a war era, you must be my subordinate." After talking for a while, Lu Caiting clenched his fists and said goodbye; The fourth sister, as soon as the brothers went down the mountain, they were informed that they would meet in Jiangjunao and Dongqiao Village three days later. β
Lu Caiting and Hu'er walked out of the secret room, found Meng Yi and Xin Yang, and told them to take good care of Lin Zhifeng and that Liu Twelve, and after the order, the two of them hurried down the mountain.
After the two arrived in Shuangji Town first, they came to a tailor shop opened by Qinglongtang, Lu Caiting instructed the shop guys to choose a few women's silver-white round-necked singles and some women's underwear, underwear, socks, etc., and depicted Lin Zhifeng's approximate height, fat and thin to the guys, and asked for a set of dark blue cardigans and pants that he worn, and asked him to send them to Yuehe Restaurant after he was selected, which was also a shop opened by Qinglongtang, and he came to pick it up in the afternoon.
The shop guy saw that it was the second young master's order, and he didn't dare to be slow, but the second young master had grown up, and it was inevitable that there would be some encounters on a snowy night.
Lu Caiting and Hu'er came to the dock gang again, found Uncle Kang, the leader of the horse gang, and asked him to help ship the goods in the county town three days later.
Seeing that he said cautiously, Uncle Kang knew that it must be a prohibited item, so he hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said with relief; "Second young master, don't worry, we know in our hearts, we will definitely transport the goods out of the county for you safely and safely."
Lu Caiting asked him for a road voucher again, borrowed two fast horses, and stepped on the carved saddle with Hu'er, and galloped away in the direction of the county seat.
After entering the county seat, Lu Caiting and Hu'er parked their horses in the caravan's footing shop, and then went straight to Ning Chenlong's house.
Ning Chenlong happened to be at home, and when he saw that it was the two of them, he was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly let the two of them in and closed the gate outside the courtyard.
Entering Ning Chenlong's room and sitting down, he saw Ning Chenlong sighing, looking anxious, and only after asking did he know that after breaking up from Qingyuan Temple yesterday, Ning Chenlong returned to the county seat, and went to contact his classmates and progressive teachers as previously discussed, trying to find people from the Communist Party, but at this time the school had resumed classes, and all teachers were forced to study Japanese and teach students in the classroom. All the schools were shrouded in white terror, and Ning Chenlong was worried about it.
After Lu Caiting listened, he laughed on his back; "Old classmate, don't worry, it's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." After finishing speaking, he will meet and get acquainted with Lin Zhifeng, and Lin Zhifeng is now healing his injuries in Yanyuguan, and he will tell Ning Chenlong in detail about the establishment of the independent column of the New Fourth Army in Mongolia.
After Ning Chenlong heard this, he was excited, rubbed his glasses, clapped his hands and shouted; "Good! It's great that I can finally let go of my hands and feet. β
Lu Caiting also told him how they would go to Uncle Kang, the leader of the Qinglongtang Horse Gang, three days later, and ask him to help transport the weapons and arrange for the rendezvous at Jiangjun Ao and Dongqiao Village.
After Ning Chenlong heard this, he muttered for a moment and agreed; "Yes, or Caiting has thought it through, I have some weapons here, and the Northeast brothers also have some weapons there, and I don't know how to transport them out of the city? If it is hung out of the corner, it is too laborious and easy to expose, of course, with the help of Guitang caravan transportation is safe and fast. β
"Okay, that's it, let's say so, see you in Dongqiao Village in three days, you must bring all the students who are willing to resist the Japanese, don't cool their blood, I still have some things to deal with here, let's go our separate ways." Lu Caiting said as he stood up and said goodbye.
Ning Chenlong grabbed Lu Caiting and retained him; "It's noon now, and it's never too late to leave after eating."
Lu Caiting arched his fist to say goodbye; "No, I'll see you in three days, take care." After speaking, Xing hurriedly walked out of the room with Hu'er.
After Lu Caiting and Hu'er left Ning Chenlong's house, they returned to the caravan shop, took out the horses, mounted the horses, went straight out of the West Gate, and returned to Shuangji Town.
When they rushed back to Shuangji Town, it was already past noon, and after the two returned the horses and road vouchers to the caravan, they walked to Yuehe Restaurant, where the guests had already left one after another, and only a few sporadic guests continued to eat.
This restaurant was opened by Qinglong Hall, and when the guys in the restaurant saw that the second young master was coming, they hurriedly placed the second young master on a table on the second floor.
Lu Caiting and Hu'er sat down, this position can overlook the entire lobby downstairs, from time to time, the guy sent cups, dishes, chopsticks and wine and food, Hu'er was busy pouring a glass of wine for the master and himself, and the two of them drank a glass of wine comfortably.
The man brought another burden and put it on the empty chair beside the table, and said respectfully; "Second young master, this is sent by the tailor, and it is said that the second young master wants clothes."
"Got it, go get busy." Lu Caiting nodded.
After the guy left, Lu Caiting and Hu'er slowly drank and ate, he was born and grew up in a gang family, and naturally developed the bold character of the Jianghu people who are addicted to alcohol and pleasure.
There was a shouting sound outside the gate of the restaurant, and then a group of people walked in, the first girl, the figure is all slender, the long hair on the head is tied with a peony bud-shaped bunch behind the head, thin eyebrows such as a description, ink dai eye shadow, Qingbo Hanchun, a lotus lotus color trimmed top, tie the feet for a drive running pants, a pair of black velvet shoes, embroidered a pair of larks in front of the toe, she wears a dark green luan belt around her waist, which is clearly dressed as a daughter of the rivers and lakes, she is followed by a personal maid, and she is also dressed like her master, with a belt around her waist, which looks neat, This was followed by four fierce young men with flat heads.
When the man saw the arrival of a guest, he hurriedly beckoned the guest to sit down at a large table and greeted him with a smile.
The girl who looked like the first lady sat down at the top of the sea table, the maid also sat down in the second place, and the four young men sat in the second and lower seats respectively.
The man respectfully handed over the menu, the maid took the menu and watched the selection, the young lady glanced at the man, and said angrily; "What kind of food can a restaurant of this size have? Just choose your famous wine and famous dishes! "The young lady looks sassy and beautiful, but she is also a little tricky and arrogant.
The guy took the menu, nodded again and again, and smiled; "Okay, then I'll put together a few unique and refreshing dishes for the guests, and then serve the best wine in our store." After speaking, he shouted and went into the back kitchen of the store to report the food.
At this time, a young man walked in outside the door of the store, the young man had a round forehead and bulging cheeks, only a ball of shallow hair in the center of his head, a typical chestnut-like hairstyle, thick eyebrows stretched horizontally, a leopard's head and eyes, a green leopard sideburns stubble next to the ear, wearing a black cardigan, a copper buckle belt at the waist, open chest and open arms, chest hair vortex, embroidery with flying leopard patterns, muscles concave and convex knots, vigorous and burly, majestic, as soon as he entered the store, his eyes kept looking around, full of curiosity.
Another guy enthusiastically placed him on an empty table and handed him the menu.
The young man didn't look at the menu, waved his hand and said simply; "Three catties of cooked beef, a roast chicken, and a jar of wine."
After a while, the dishes on the previous table were served one after another, and the man reported the name of the dish while bringing a large jar of wine to please the authentic; "The good wine 'Zhuangyuan Hong', which has been stored in the cellar of our store for ten years, is slowly tasted by all guests."
A young man took over the wine jar and poured wine into everyone's bowls, and the young lady took a sip of the bowl and said coldly; "The wine is mellow, but I haven't been in the cellar for ten years, and it's not false for a year or two."
When the guy saw that he met a wine connoisseur and was exposed to lies, he smiled embarrassedly and wanted to slip away.
"Waitβ" Miss let out a low roar, not loud, but full of shock, and the young lady stood still, and Miss asked casually; "This restaurant is opened by Qinglong Hall?"
"Yes, miss, this is also a time-honored brand, which has been open for decades." The guy bent down and replied.
The young lady looked at him, took a sip of wine from the bowl, and asked again; "Qinglongtang enjoys a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, don't say it, but this girl heard that the second young master in Qinglongtang is handsome and suave, not only martial arts, but also skilled in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting?"
When the guy saw her talking about the second young master, he immediately came to his senses and talked eloquently; "Of course, our second young master has both civil and military skills, excellent appearance, and it is said that the rich families within a radius of 100 miles have come to our Qinglong Hall in an endless stream to propose marriage, and even the families of high-ranking officials and officials in Suzhou City and Nanjing City have also sent dowry marriages......"
At this time, the wine and food of the single young man were also brought to the table, and the young man immediately drank a bowl of wine, tore off a chicken leg and gnawed it, and asked the man; "This is a restaurant opened by the Qinglong Hall, so can the master of the Great Qinglong Hall often come here? And the second young master of the little green dragon also likes to drink and drink, does he often come here to get drunk? β
Lu Caiting on the second floor wondered, why there were two uninvited guests inquiring about him at the same time today.
The guy was about to answer the young man, but unexpectedly there was a loud 'pop' on the table over there, and the two couldn't help but look back.
It turned out that the young lady reached out and slapped the tabletop, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide open, and she said hatefully; "It's a bunch of nonsense, what virtue does the second young master of your family have, how can he make the famous flowers and jade leaves within a radius of a hundred miles favor your family? This girl sees that your second young master is just an idle cream boy......"
The guy was frightened by the young lady's angry momentum, and dared not speak out, but the boss was not convinced, and his lips were buzzing, but he did not dare to make a sound.
When the young lady saw him, she laughed angrily and sneered; "What, you're still not convinced that your second young master is a cream boy? So, isn't it a cream boy? You go and call the second young master of your family, this girl is the east, drink two hundred cups with him, try it and know the authenticity. β
The young man at the table over there couldn't help frowning when he saw the young lady reprimanding the guy like this, drank a bowl of wine, and said in a deep voice; "A girl who doesn't cultivate morality, so slandering the owner of the family, dares to threaten to drink two hundred cups? It's really a bad day. He probably couldn't stand it, and he was unhappy.
"Yo," the young lady glanced sideways at the person speaking at the other table, and said disdainfully, "I provoked the second young master's fox friends and dog party, and you want to stand up for the second young master?" Okay, what kind of ruthless character is this girl? β
The young man stood up and pointed to the young lady at the next table and said, "You are a woman, let's not teach you, so let's do it, you also have four men under you, let's make a move, the four men go together, the little brother only uses one arm, go!" Go outside and don't damage what's in someone's store. "With that, I have to walk out of the store.
The young lady did not show weakness, and stood up and accepted the way; "Hey! It's such a big breath, why do you want to use my men? Even this girl is going to teach you a lesson. β
The atmosphere in the hall was tense in an instant, and there was a momentum that was about to explode.
Lu Caiting screamed secretly; "Not goodβ" Hurriedly ran down from the second floor, and clasped his fists between the two; "Brother is Lu Caiting, the second young master of Qinglong Hall, since the two guests have come to our store, they are the guests of my Qinglong Hall, and the hospitality is too slow, and the two guests Haihan understands."
The young lady and the young man couldn't help but raise their eyes at the same time to look at the young man who claimed to be the second young master, seeing that the other party had a beautiful jade face, handsome eyes, and a gentle and elegant appearance, but there was a faint hint of the bold temperament of the force, and the power was introverted.
The maid carefully walked around to the young lady and whispered in her ear; "This second young master is restrained, masterful, and dignified, heroic, and is clearly a rare beautiful man in the world, where is the cream boy?" Her voice was low, but it was heard by the whole room.
The young lady's cheeks turned red instantly, and she didn't speak, but the anger between her eyebrows disappeared clearly.
Lu Caiting pointed to an empty table and said; "There are brothers in the four seas, and friends come from afar, and they are happy! It is rare for two guests to come to our store, since we have met today, the brothers will do the east, do a little bit of landlord friendship, guys! Serve a few good dishes and a jar of good wine! β
Seeing the second young master speak, the guys hurriedly ran to the kitchen to prepare food, and in a moment, the dishes and chopsticks were prepared on the table with several large plates of dishes and a jar of high-quality Huadiao wine, and the young man was also casual, and he was busy moving the wine and dishes he had ordered before.
Hu'er stepped forward to lift the wine jar, poured wine into the bowl of the guest of honor on the table, and then stood aside.
Lu Caiting clasped his fists at the young lady and saluted; "The thunder is angry with the female sword, the hero bends the bow and shoots the wild goose, and the brother Lu Caiting invites the chivalrous girl to sit down." After that, make a hand pose.
The young lady also replied with a fist in return; "Changbanpo is heavy in front of thousands of troops, Zhao Zilong in a white horse brocade robe, and the younger sister's surname is Zhu Mingke, and she is wildly called 'Thousand Hands and Hundred Spirits' on the rivers and lakes, and she lives in Woma Beach on the bank of the Yuma River." After speaking, he took his seat proudly.
Lu Caiting turned around and saluted the young man with his fists, and was about to speak, when the young man returned the salute with his fists and spoke first; "The tigers return to Liangshan, for the heavenly morality first, brother Qi Lianhu, nicknamed 'Little Leopard Head' in the rivers and lakes, a disciple of the Fenglei Gate in Pucheng County, this time he came to Yuyun County with the master of the door, and the brother had already heard the name of Qinglongtang in Shuangji Town, so he took the time to come to visit."
The three guests of honor happily sat down, and then raised their bowls to drink three bowls of wine in a row, to show that the people of the rivers and lakes met for the first time, admired each other, and cherished the heroes.
Lu Caiting picked up a bowl full of wine and saluted the unruly lady 'Thousand Hands and Hundred Spirits' Zhu Kedao, "In fact, we have heard that there are two fairies and a Hercules in Woma Beach and Horseshoe Bay, as well as the martial arts predecessor 'Dividing Water Jiaolong' Zhu Pengsheng, longing for a long time, although dozens of miles away is close at hand, but unfortunately the clouds are thick and rainy, there is no chance to visit, I can't imagine that I can meet here today, see the girl's face, sure enough, it is a fairy descending to earth, dazzling style, and stunts, women do not let the eyebrows. β
Zhu Ke also picked up the wine bowl to salute back, here she smiled like a flower, compared with the previous arrogance, it was like two people, she replied with a smile; "'Water Dividing Dragon' Zhu Pengsheng is actually the father of the little sister, and the little sister also has an older sister Zhu Ran, who is called 'Langli Hibiscus', which is comparable to Zhang Shun in the 'Langli Baitiao' in the Water Margin Village, Kung Fu in the water, unparalleled in the world, and Zhu Meng, the Hercules of Horseshoe Bay, is also the cousin of the little sister." After speaking, the two touched the bowl and drank it dry.
Lu Caiting put down the wine bowl and said with a smile; "I will definitely visit me another day, and I will ask Miss Zhu to recommend me more carefully."
"It's good to say, when Brother Lu comes to us, my little sister must be hospitable, my father, sister and cousin are all bold people, they must welcome Brother Lu very much." Zhu Ke agreed.
Hu'er poured wine into the bowl of the guest of honor, and Lu Caiting picked up the bowl and saluted Qi Lianhu, the 'little leopard head' of Fengleimen, and said, "Fengleimen is also a famous and decent family in the rivers and lakes, and it is really a blessing for brothers to be able to meet the heroes and heroes in your family." β
Qi Lianhu also picked up the bowl and saluted back; "Compared with the Qinglong Hall, it is beyond reach, who on Jiangnan Road does not know that the master of the Great Qinglong Hall was the head of the Five Tigers King Kong of the Qinggang Sword Hall, and he was on the beach, the hero is the world, and it is rumored that the little Qinglong has both civil and military skills, and he is a masterful artist, and today he can witness the demeanor of Brother Lu, young and handsome, it is really worth the trip." He has a dignified body and a leopard head and ringed eyes, which is really worthy of the nickname 'Little Leopard Head'.
The two happily touched the bowl and drank, Qi Lianhu put down the empty bowl, reached out to wipe the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, and grinned; "Rejoice! Actually, my brother should have come to visit your hall a long time ago......" At this point, he sighed; "Now that the Japanese have invaded our country, half of the rivers and mountains have become occupied areas, and our rivers and lakes are all heartbroken, but there is nothing to be done? But our eldest brother completely disregarded the worry of the country's ruin, and indulged in a female drama famous Dan all day long, and the female actor went there to tour and sing, so he took our brothers there to accompany him, no, the female actor is now singing on stage in Xiaoxi County, so the brother was also brought to Xiaoxi County to accompany him, and the brother took this opportunity to sneak to Shuangji Town to visit Xiaoqinglong, fortunately, he was fated to meet his brother, and we drank so much between our brothers, and those days were too depressing, I was really ashamed......
Lu Caiting explained with a busy smile; "Maybe this is an expedient measure for your lord for a while, I'm afraid there is something difficult to hide, you must know that these sect leaders in the Japanese occupation area are also difficult, afraid that the Japanese will send an errand, if they agree, and afraid of bearing the notorious reputation of traitors, if they don't do it, they are worried that there will be a disaster of annihilation, walking on thin ice, and carefully mediating......"
Zhu Ke picked up the bowl and interrupted them a little impatiently; "Don't talk about this, we met for the first time, we should drink happily and be happy."
"Yes, yes, drink!" Lu Caiting and Nian Qihu really stopped talking about other things, and they all raised their bowls to pay tribute to Zhu Ke, for fear of snubbing this confidant.
In fact, Lu Caiting's first impression of Qi Lianhu was very good, and he knew that he was a bloody man, but after all, it was the first time they met, and some words could not be too deep.
While drinking, the three of them talked about some anecdotes and anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, which was full of spirit and fun.
When the wine was half-drunk, Zhu Ke's face was already flushed with alcohol, and the maid whispered behind her; "Miss, your amount of alcohol is almost enough, don't drink any more, leave some spare time for a good meeting next time."
Zhu Ke was on the rise, and he could listen there, and he said with a small mouth; "Who said I drank too much, this girl's interest has just started......"
Seeing this scene, Lu Caiting hurriedly stood up and bowed his fists; "Miss Zhu, Brother Qi, the wine is over here, my brother still has some things to do, so I won't keep the two of you, let's drink it next time."
Qi Lianhu was interested, and he stood up and hugged his fists in farewell; "Miss Zhu, Brother Lu, I'm bothered, I met today, my brother is really drunk and open, but my brother also has something to rush back to Xiaoxi County, say goodbye! Will definitely visit again next time. β
Seeing that the host was speaking to drive away the guests, Zhu Ke was embarrassed to linger any longer, so he had to reluctantly stand up and say goodbye; "Thank you Brother Lu for your hospitality, let's say okay, we will definitely come to my Woma Beach another day, and the little sister will be the east, let's drink as much as we can, and Brother Qi will also come with us."
Seeing off the guests, Lu Caiting also felt some discomfort in his chest and stomach, maybe he was in too much of a hurry to drink just now, he was busy sitting down at an empty table to rest, and Hu'er was busy making a pot of hot tea for him from the kitchen.
After resting for a moment and drinking a cup of hot tea, Lu Caiting quickly recovered, he stood up and commanded Hu'er; "Let's go, take our baggage."
Hu'er went up to the second floor to pick up the burden, put it on his back, and then walked out of the restaurant with the master, the master and servant came to the bazaar, the market was densely crowded, the shouting of various vendors mixed with the sound of cars and horses, the hustle and bustle, although the double market town is a general market town, but it is the same as the county of Yuxi, located at the junction of Suzhou and Anhui, integrating water and land trade, so it is very lively.
The two of them walked in the market for a while, and finally came to the braised vegetable stall, Lu Caiting asked for two roast chickens, braised beef, braised pig's trotters, pig ears, pig's heart tongue, a package of braised vegetables, plus a jar of sorghum wine, the two of them carried the wine and food and came to a 'Qin Ji blacksmith shop' on Xiahe Street in the bazaar, Lu Caiting tore his throat at the door of the store and shouted, "Boss, is there a good iron?" β
An old, slightly hissing voice of reply rang out from inside the shop; "Yes, yes, what are the guests going to do?"
Lu Caiting didn't laugh and continued to pretend; "I'm going to make an embroidery needle."
An old man with thick eyebrows and a thick beard walked out of the door of the shop and laughed; "Just listen to the tone, you know it's your second young master." The old man was in his sixties, shirtless, wearing only a leather apron, with a bronzed face and chest, and he was in good spirits.
Lu Caiting and Hu'er greeted with a smile; "Daddy Qin is good!" After speaking, he strode into the store and put the food and drinks on an empty table.
The shop room is very spacious, there is a big stove and bellows in one corner of the room, the furnace is blazing, an anvil, a man in his thirties is shirtless, with a leather apron, holding an iron tool in his left hand, and holding a hammer in his right hand is forging repeatedly. "Second Young Master, Hu'er!!"
The old man who was called Uncle Qin took off his apron and changed into his clothes, and instructed the young man; "Sledgehammer, don't be in a hurry with this work, let's do it again tomorrow, put out the fire, close the shop door, and let's accompany the second young master."
The sledgehammer really stopped what he was doing and said to Lu Caiting with a smile; "Second young master, you go to the backyard, my fourth brother is inside, I'll clean up here, close the shop door and come later."
Qin Ji blacksmith shop owner Qin Da Dad has six sons under his knees, named Sledgehammer to Six Hammers, the fourth son Qin Si Hammer is the same year as Lu Caiting, and is also a classmate, he lives by striking iron, it is not easy to feed a large family, then there is spare money for the children to study, and it is also Qin Da Dad and Lu Caiting's father Lu Hongtai have some friendship, so the tuition fees of the four hammers from childhood to high school, including the five hammers, and the tuition fees of the six hammers are provided by Qinglongtang, and the Qin family is naturally very grateful to the Lu family, and their relationship is as close as a family.
Qin Si Hammer, Qin Wu Hammer, and Qin Sixth Hammer were all at home, and when they heard Lu Caiting's arrival, they all came out of the backyard to greet them, took Lu Caiting's hand and asked long and short questions, and they jumped up and down with joy and affection.
Lu Caiting, Hu'er was surrounded by the Qin family and came to the big table in the house to sit down, Aunt Qin was busy serving the braised vegetables in dishes and plates, and casually prepared to fry two vegetarian dishes for them, cook some vegetarian soup, five hammers, six hammers were also busy setting the dishes and chopsticks, pouring wine.
Lu Caiting asked about the five hammers and the six hammers; "Why didn't the fifth and sixth go to school?"
Six Hammers hurriedly replied while setting the dishes and chopsticks; "Brother Ting, you don't know, although classes have resumed now, many students are reluctant to go to class, because they want to learn Japanese, babbling, like a pig's arch, the teacher also understands it, and he doesn't force the students to learn, and secretly sends some annotated topics for the students to review at home."
"Oh, that's rightβ" Lu Caiting sighed after hearing this; "The country is broken, these devils are not only brutal, but also very vicious, not only forcibly occupy our territory, but also want to plant our national ......"
After a while, the sledgehammer had already cleaned up the stove, closed the shop, and walked into the backyard house, Aunt Qin also fried the vegetarian dishes and cooked the soup, and happily brought it to the table, and a large family sat around the table.
Daddy Qin picked up the wine bowl, coughed lightly, moistened his throat, and then saluted Lu Caiting; "Second Young Master, this bowl of wine is honored by the eldest father on behalf of my whole family!"
Lu Caiting hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and saluted in return, and said modestly; "Daddy doesn't have to be like this, you can call the younger generation Ah Ting, Tingzi, and the second child, why should the family be so polite, making the younger generation embarrassed."
Daddy Qin's face sank, and he argued solemnly; "Which one? After all, China is a country of civilization and benevolence for thousands of years, and the arrangement of some relationship levels is essential, so don't be humble, Daddy accompanied you to dry a bowl of wine, and Daddy was happy. β
Daddy Qin's six sons are all mighty and strong, perhaps they were born as iron experts, and they have been doing manual work with a hammer since they were young, or they may have followed their father to practice foreign boxing all year round. Sledgehammer has followed his father to strike iron since he was a child, and the second hammer has lived a poor life without penetrating the family, and he has mixed a company commander in the Imperial Association Army with a martial arts, and he has no relationship with the family, but the third hammer is working as a coolie on the dock of Qinglongtang, and the fourth hammer has just graduated from high school, and the fifth hammer and the sixth hammer are still studying.
Lu Caiting also paid tribute to Daddy Qin and Aunt Qin, and the family ate and drank happily.
Qin Sihammer smacked his broad lips, picked up the bowl and saluted Lu Caiting, while asking impatiently; "Brother Ting, how was that thing planned? Brother waits uncomfortably! β
Lu Caiting knew that the thing he was referring to was to participate in the special combat team of his senior brother ****, and this matter was strongly supported by the Qin family, he picked up the bowl and touched it with the four hammers, then drank it all, put down the bowl, he knew that the door outside the store had been closed, and there could be no idle outsiders, but he still couldn't help but look around, and then slowly replied; "The selection of personnel for this matter has been decided, but now there is a little deviation, I have changed the way after repeated trade-offs and discussions with Zhuge of glasses, we can go to eliminate the sniper of the devil for the ****, but we will not join the ****, we have to join the New Fourth Army......"
As soon as his words fell, the whole room boiled, and Daddy Qin took a big sip of wine, slapped the table, and said excitedly; "Yes, the second young master and that glasses classmate are really eye-catching, the Communist Party's New Fourth Army is the people's team, they are sincerely anti-Japanese and protect the people, and they are supported by the people, so they have to join such a team!"
Lu Caiting nodded, and told the story of his encounter with Lin Zhifeng, and finally said; "Three days later, the New Fourth Army was established in Dongqiao Village, and the Lin Zhifeng and Silver Phoenix sisters served as the political commissar of the column......"
"Alas, who doesn't know the silver phoenix in the county seat, sister Sifeng,! She is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also engaged in propaganda under the noses of the Japanese gendarmerie, scattering leaflets, shooting little devils and traitors, out of nowhere, and being bold and ......bold" "Wow, with the New Fourth Army led by a goddess like Sister Sifeng, it must be a succession of battles, annihilating little devils and traitors...... "Four hammers, five hammers, and six hammers immediately chirped and muttered.
"Of courseβ" Daddy Qin added softly, he took a shallow sip from the wine bowl, narrowed his eyes, and his expression was full of cunning.
Everyone was so strange, they all looked at him, thinking in their hearts; 'You've been striking iron in the shop all day, how can you possibly know what's going on outside?' Lu Caiting still couldn't help but ask; "Daddy, do you know the Silver Phoenix?"
Daddy Qin put down the wine bowl, raised his head, stretched his thick eyebrows, brightened his eyes, and talked eloquently; Comrade Lin Zhifeng is one of the outstanding leaders of our party's county party committee in the Mengmeng Prefecture, she is young and energetic, and her work is serious and careful...... Actually, Daddy, I am also an underground party member, but recently, the activities of the traitor detective team have been rampant and frequent, and the party organization liaison offices and traffic stations in the city of Yuxi County and other places have been seriously damaged, and I haven't received contact from the organization for a long time, and now I know that Comrade Lin Zhifeng has established an independent column of the New Fourth Army in Jiangjun Ao and Dongqiao Village, and I also want to go there with you......" may have said too excitedly, and the vicissitudes of his knife and axe couldn't help but tremble again and again.
