In mid-February, spring blossoms, everything recovers, and the sun shines brightly.

In Xie's mansion and in the library, Li Huaizhu was depressed and uneasy, and missed his mother and second brother very much.

Xie Hualan saw that Li Huaizhu was preoccupied, and asked, "Senior brother, why are you frowning and sullen?" He thought for a moment and sighed: "If you have something on your mind, you might as well say it and let the little brother help you share one or two." ”

Li Huaizhu got up from the bed and walked around with his hands in his hands, and said: "Senior brother, it has been a month since my brother went out, and I miss my mother and second brother very much, I don't know how they are now, and whether they have been embarrassed by the officers and soldiers." ”

Xie Hualan comforted: "Senior brother, when you avoid disasters and return to your hometown, you will know for yourself. As I say, Jiren has his own natural appearance, so don't worry about yourself anymore. ”

Li Huaizhu smiled: "What the junior brother said is very true. He looked at Hua Lan with pleading eyes and said, "It's just that my brother is extremely depressed today, why don't you go to the restaurant with me?" ”

"Senior brother, this must not be done. The father's filial piety period has not expired, and the mother is not allowed to go out if there is nothing to do! Xie Hualan was extremely embarrassed.

Li Huaizhu patted Xie Hualan's right arm and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you must learn to be flexible in everything, and you can't be brainless." We jumped out of the backyard and came back quietly after eating, how can the master be blamed? ”

Xie Hualan couldn't shirk it, so she hugged her fists and said: "Since this is the case, it's all up to the senior brother to decide." ”

Li Huaizhu jumped out of the back wall with Xie Hualan, and before coming to the town, the two did not enjoy the beautiful scenery of the street, and came to the door of a restaurant, only to see three big characters hanging on the plaque above: Drunken Immortal Building. At this time, a guy came out of the door, with a rough skirt around his waist and a rag on his shoulder, and when he saw the two, he hurriedly entertained them warmly: "Two guest officers, please." ”

The two walked into the restaurant, and Xie Hualan said to the guy: "Bartender, you only need to serve any good wine and food here, but the noise in your hall is too loud, we don't want to be disturbed, you can find me a private room!" ”

The man said attentively: "Okay, the two guests come with me!" ”

The two followed the guy up to the private room and sat down, Xie Hualan said to the guy: "Bartender, bring a few good dishes from your shop, and bring two jars of high-quality daughter Hong." ”

The guy didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly served the two of them all the food and drinks and exited the private room.

Outside the restaurant, the wind is beautiful and the people are boiling. On the streets, wealthy businessmen and commoners, squires, and pedestrians of all religions walked back and forth.

At this time, a woman with a pipa in her arms came in the distance, looking at her beautiful face, elegant and elegant, quite down-and-out. She sat in front of the restaurant, playing beautiful pipa music and singing beautiful tunes, attracting many onlookers.

The man walked out of the door, came to the singer, and said, "This girl, we are all sows, all of us have bare bones and no flesh, and no matter how well you sing, we will not have any money to reward you." There is a Xie Gongzi in the private room who is eating wine, why don't you go in and sing, maybe he can reward you with a few more ingots of silver. ”

The woman said timidly: "I'm afraid that your boss won't let me in." ”

The guy said softly: "Thousands of people can enter, can't you enter as a singer?" As long as you can attract customers and amuse customers, it's too late for the boss to be happy. You're welcome inside! ”

The woman bowed and said, "Thank you so much, there is a bartender brother to lead the way for the little woman." ”

The man led the woman into the private room and explained to Xie Hualan.

Xie Hualan saw that this singer was quite beautiful, and promised to let her stay.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and everyone likes beauty whenever they want. Even if you can't get it, it's a pleasure to be able to take a few more looks.

The woman sat down, played a beautiful lute, and sang a few gentle songs, when suddenly her eyes wept, and she was not miserable.

Li Huaizhu drank a bowl of wine, and the more she thought about it, the more strange it became, and asked: "Girl, say you sing, you shed tears, say you cry, and you play the pipa again, are you singing or crying?" ”

The woman wiped away her tears and said, "Brother Ren, I'm really sorry. Just because my little sister is a woman in difficulty, there is nowhere to complain about suffering, and the two of you are here to eat and drink and listen to music, so unhappy, I don't understand, the same people, why are there rich and poor, strong and weak, happy and sad? Therefore, I can't help but cry of sadness, I hope you two will forgive me! ”

Li Huaizhu said softly: "The girl doesn't have to be sad, since you want to complain, I am willing to listen to you." ”

Xie Hualan saw that the senior brother wanted to listen to the woman's complaints, so she hurriedly said: "Senior brother, the wolf passed in front of the door, don't hurt your own sheep, take care of the snow in your yard, don't care about the frost on the tiles of others." If you have pity on her, give her some money, and let her go. ”

Li Huaizhu swallowed a sip of wine and said, "Senior brother, she is so sad and has nowhere to complain, why don't the two of us be adults, listen to her and send her away after listening to her complaints?" ”

Xie Hualan couldn't resist the senior brother, so she said to the woman again: "This girl, since my senior brother has the heart to fulfill you, then you can quickly explain the suffering in your heart!" ”

The singer put down the pipa, bowed and bowed, and said slowly: "Two benevolent brothers, the mountain is lit up and the head is big, and when you mention the seedlings, you will have roots." My family lives in Pingyuan County, Shandong, and there is a name on Hongjiazhuang. His father's surname is Red Yuegui, and he is currently the chief soldier of Jingzhao Mansion; Mother Yang, when today's son is named Mrs. Decree; The eldest brother's name is Hong Wenxiu, who reads the Five Classics in the Young Library, and is a weak scholar; The little woman's name is Red Begonia, and she works every day in rusty buildings. Last year, my mother died of a sudden illness, and my eldest brother and I were helpless, so we decided to go to the capital together to find my father. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Merlot Town, the eldest brother was overworked and fell ill in the Haijia store. When the beaver saw that I was beautiful, he didn't get up. Good intentions. He was clearly looking for Lang Zhong to treat his eldest brother's illness, but secretly poisoned the medicinal soup, and poor my eldest brother died in heaven. As soon as the pirate had made a coffin for his eldest brother and buried him in the ground, he counted two hundred taels of silver with me on his hind foot, and demanded that I repay it immediately, or else I would pay the debt with my own body and marry him. How can my daughters have so much money to repay him? He also did not want to marry the enemy who killed his brother, so he set up a plan to delay the army, saying that if I could not repay his debt in three months, I would be willing to marry him. He couldn't pay his debts, so he promised me three months, so I was able to keep my innocence. ”

Li Huaizhu said angrily: "Woo yes, what a thief, in broad daylight, Lang Lang, he actually did such an evil thing that bullied men and women and harmed people's lives, he really deserved to die!" ”

Xie Hualan saw that her senior brother was angry, and hurriedly persuaded: "Senior brother, stop your anger, don't cause another incident because of a momentary anger." I don't think this woman has any intentions. Liang, her words may not be true. ”

Red Begonia said mournfully: "The little woman's words are true, if there is half a lie, I would like to be thundered by the sky." ”

At this time, a group of fierce men broke into the private room, only to hear the leader shout: "Red girl, have you earned enough money today?" Go back and see our Lord Hai! The men dragged the red begonias up as they spoke.

Hong Haitang felt that Li Huaizhu was by no means an ordinary person, and kept turning her head and crying: "Childe, help, save me......"

Li Huaizhu was very sad when he saw the red girl, and the gang of people were still so arrogant and unreasonable to her, rude and tyrannical, he was angry for a while, and the five spirits flew into the air, and said angrily: "You thieves, in broad daylight, are so unreasonable, is there no royal law?" ”

The man who took the lead turned around and shouted: "Boy, I advise you not to meddle in this matter, if my family master Hai knows, you will definitely die." ”

Li Huaizhu was so angry that he suddenly grabbed a handful of chopsticks from the table, shook his arms, and saw more than a dozen chopsticks like sharp arrows off the string, flying out and stabbing the slaves of the Hai family and rolling down the wooden steps.

Xie Hualan sighed: "Senior brother, that beaver tiger is the brother-in-law of Li Yuanji, the fourth prince of the current dynasty, just because he has a honey-bellied sword and a knife in his smile, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him "Smiling Tiger". This man is powerful, strong in martial arts, and scheming, and he is the emperor of Merlot Town, and if you offend him, you will undoubtedly bring disaster to yourself. What now? ”

Li Huaizhu said calmly: "Senior brother, you don't need to worry, a man is based on heaven and earth, he should act chivalrous and righteous, eliminate evil and help good." No matter whether the beaver tiger is a dragon or a tiger, he is not afraid of being a brother. If I can't save the red girl and eradicate the pirates today, I, Li Huaizhu, will not be a man. ”

Xie Hualan persuaded again and again: "Senior brother, think twice, you are now a person who avoids disasters, if you add new disasters, you will never turn over." ”

Li Huaizhu said resolutely: "Senior brother doesn't need to persuade me anymore, my heart has been decided." ”

Xie Hualan knew that his senior brother was a chivalrous warrior who would draw his sword to help him when the road was uneven, and today he said that he couldn't persuade him to turn him through the sky, so he stopped persuading him. But let him go to Haifu alone, and he couldn't rest assured that he said anything, so he said: "Senior brother, since you insist on going to Haifu, junior brother is willing to go with you." ”

Li Huaizhu glanced at Xie Hualan and said, "The kindness of the junior brother is understood by the brother, but there are still senior sisters in your family who need to be filial, so you don't have to go through this flood." ”

Xie Hualan learned from Li Huaizhu and said: "Senior brother doesn't need to persuade anymore, junior brother has made up his mind." He picked up a bowl of wine: "Come on, let's dry this bowl of wine and go to Haifu to avenge the red girl!" ”

Li Huaizhu also picked up a bowl of wine, touched the bowl with Xie Hualan, drank it all, settled the account with the shopkeeper, took the red begonia out of the drunken immortal building, and went all the way to the Haijia store. There was not much time, the three of them came to the Haijia store, and Li Xie and the others entrusted the red begonias to Wang's mother, who taught her the pipa.

Outside the gate of Haifu, two stone lions squatted, and a middle-aged man stood at the door.

Li Huaizhu stepped forward and asked, "Is this the mansion of the beaver tiger?" ”

The man said, "Yes, my lord Hai lives here." ”

Li Huaizhu roared angrily: "You call him master, I call him grandson!" Go quickly, let the grandson come out, and say that his grandfather has paid him the bill. ”

When the man heard this, he trembled with fright, and said in his heart: "My mother, this man is so vicious, does he want to eat people?" He entered the gate, ran in from a luxurious mansion compound, came to the living room, and said in a panic: "Report...... Master, no, there are two fierce men outside the door, saying that they are here to pay you back. ”

There is a person sitting on the top of the hall, nine feet three tall, seven feet five feet wide, with a strange and ugly appearance, an orange face, a purple crown on his head, a yellow robe on his body, a jade brocade belt inlaid at the waist, a sachet inside, and thin-soled fast boots on his feet, which is the beaver tiger.

The beaver tiger was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea from a cup, gently put it on the table, glanced at the family, and said steadily: "There is no product, aren't there two people who pay back the old man, what are you panicking about?" Ah, my father's father, is my grandfather, passed to me for three generations, never lent money to anyone, I didn't expect that today there were two people who repay the debt, this is really a person sitting at home, good things come from heaven! Haha......"

The beaver tiger stood up and shook its ape arm, like a four-year-old yak gelding, and its body was unusually strong. When he went out to look, he saw two people standing in the courtyard. He looked at it, and saw that a person was nine feet tall, seven feet wide and zero, with delicate facial features, dressed in a knurled green robe, and a meteor hammer hanging from his waist; The other man was more than eight feet tall, seven feet wide at the shoulder, with a dark complexion, a blue robe covering his body, and carrying a spear and spear.

The beaver tiger smiled all over his face, and shouted at the two of them, "What do you call the two friends?" What are you doing when you come to the little brother's house today? ”

Li Xie and the others each reported their names and surnames.

The beaver tiger said loudly: "I don't know what the account with Li Daxia is?" ”

Li Huaizhu didn't answer, and asked with sarcasm: "Don't you know?" ”

The beaver tiger shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Li Huaizhu hugged his fists and said, "Then I'll sue you." I'm here to pay off the Red Girl's debts. ”

The beaver tiger asked fiercely: "Dare to ask what blood relationship Your Excellency has with the Red Girl?" ”

Li Huaizhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Hmph, I don't kiss her, and I don't wear it." ”

The beaver tiger asked puzzledly, "Then why did you pay the bill for her?" ”

Li Huaizhu provoked: "Don't you know that I don't have a wife yet?" When I have paid your bill, I will marry her. ”

The beaver tiger sneered: "Friend, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." That red begonia is already the second lady of Hai who has not passed through the door, I advise you not to meddle in this matter, otherwise it will ...... Humph......"

"Fuck you!" Li Huaizhu pointed his head and scolded: "I advise you to settle this account quickly and let the red girl live, otherwise don't blame Master Li's subordinates for being ruthless." ”

The beaver tiger said angrily: "You kid is talking wildly, do you really want to use force with my master?" ”

Li Huaizhu said: "The master has an itchy hand, and he will accompany him at any time." ”
