Yun Qi gently retreated, he didn't want others to know that he had overheard some secrets of the dart game, some things, not that you explain in good faith that others will definitely believe it, no one believes that you just passed by unintentionally, overheard, they will only think that you came to eavesdrop on purpose.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yun Qi had to choose a new path and ask a few more people before finally finding the kitchen.

The kitchen of the dart bureau is very large, there are a lot of stoves in it, and countless ingredients are piled up, Yun Qi wants to go in to find something to eat, but the master of the kitchen does not let him in, and explains to Yun Qi that this is the rule of the dart game, please Yun Qi understand, the director of the dart bureau will always encounter some robbery or enemies, if people sneak into the dart board, whether it is in the meal, or put some poison in the well, then the whole dart game is over, so in the dart game, the kitchen and the well used for cooking are strictly forbidden for outsiders to set foot in.

The fat master went in and scooped a bowl of porridge for Yun Qi, and brought a few fritters that were already cold, and said apologetically: "Little brother, you are late, there are only these left here, why don't I go and give you a hot one?" ”

Yun Qi took it with both hands and said gratefully: "Master, no need, we countrymen, as long as we have a stutter, how can we trouble you again, just like that, I'm already very embarrassed." ”

With that, he sat down on a stone table outside the kitchen, and began to eat and drink.

The master of the kitchen was a chubby middle-aged man, who seemed to have a smile on his face all the time, he stood on the side with a smile and watched Yun Qi eat, and persuaded: "Young man, don't worry, the kitchen is still there, I'll add it to you after eating." ”

Yun Qi smiled embarrassedly, slowed down his speed, and said to the master: "Master, I was chased and killed for a day during the day yesterday, and I didn't eat anything, and I walked with Qiao Zhong in a hurry all night at night, I wanted to return to the dart game earlier, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in Hangzhou City, the city gate had not yet opened, so I had to continue to wait." I've been here for two days, I haven't eaten anything serious, I'm a little hungry, don't laugh. ”

The master straddled his legs, sat on a stool on the edge of the stone table, leaned his fat face to Yun Qi's side, and said with a smile: "Young man, this is normal, I think when I was the same age as you, the most worrying thing every day was that I couldn't eat enough, and I was as thin as a hemp stick at that time......

Yun Qi turned his head to look at this fat man in surprise when he heard this, how could he not be associated with the hemp rod.

Seeing Yun Qi's strange eyes, the master couldn't help grinning: "Hey, don't look at the uncle who looks like this now, he was thinner than you when he was young, and then he learned the craft of cooking with the master, and slowly gained weight." You say it's not strange, when I'm like you, every day like this sea bowl, three bowls of rice, fist-sized steamed buns, eat five or six at a time, every day when I eat it looks like a lot, but three times two times to eat, after eating it I don't feel at all, I don't know which slit in the stomach to fill in, it doesn't take two hours, I am so hungry that my heart is close to my back, as if there is a bottomless pit in my stomach, it's really strange, and then after I became a cook, I didn't worry about what I ate, but I couldn't eat it, and it was smoky every day. I don't have any appetite at all, you see I'm so fat now, in fact, I don't eat much at every meal, I just eat a little bit, but people are like blowing air, whirring to the meat, it's really annoying. ”

Yun Qi looked at the fat man and thought about it for a long time, he really didn't believe that the fat man's current meal was so small, but he didn't want to ask rhetorically, so he buried his head in the bowl and continued to snort and drink porridge.

The fat chef saw that Yun Qi had finished drinking a bowl, took the bowl enthusiastically, twisted his big ass into the kitchen, and brought out another bowl after a while, with some pickles piled up on the bowl.

Yun Qi thanked him, continued to work hard, ate a few bites, suddenly thought of something, looked up and said to the fat chef: "Master, isn't this Qiao Zhong's father Qiao Lao Dart very majestic in our dart game?" Qiao Zhong and I have always been brothers, and we sleep in a room every day, but this kid has never talked to me about family affairs before, and today he returned to the dart game, and he didn't say a word to me, so he hurriedly went out, I just listened to the discussion in the dart game, as if Qiao Lao Dart is very amazing, right? ”

As soon as the fat chef heard the question, he was interested, put two thick arms like elephants on the stone table, and then propped up one arm, stretched out his round fingers and shook them in front of Yun Qi, and said to Yun Qi: "Ha, you are asking the right person about this, there is nothing I don't know in this dart game, I have been staying for decades, let me tell you, this old Qiao dart head is not an ordinary person, that is very famous, and it is the second person in our dart game." ”

"Number two? Then the number one must be the head of the dart that gave us a lecture in the morning. Yun Qi said with a smile.

"That's not right." The fat chef shook his carrot-like fingers and smiled triumphantly. "The chief dart head you saw in the morning, surnamed Fan, he is one of the best men in our Jiangnan martial arts world, a sword, it is difficult to find an opponent in the entire Jiangnan martial arts, but he can only be regarded as the third person in the dart game."

"Huh?" Yun Qi was taken aback, and drank a mouthful of porridge into his mouth, almost squirting out.

The fat chef saw Yun Qi's surprised appearance and smiled proudly: "Mr. Fan is now our chief dart, and he has the final say in everything about the dart board, but he also has to listen to our old dart, because he was held up by old dart head Qiao." Our Sanjiang dart bureau from the creation to the present is actually only more than 30 years of time, when Qiao Lao dart head with a long stick in hand, hit all over Zhejiang did not meet the opponent, and later with several brothers established the Sanjiang dart bureau, Qiao Lao nature is the big shopkeeper of the dart board, decades of darts down, although there have also been a lot of storms, some eyes to think of the tiger's mouth to pull teeth, but Qiao Lao dart head can always turn the danger into a disaster, safe passing, on the ground in Zhejiang, broke down the prestige, more than ten years ago, Qiao Lao dart head said that he was old, Thinking about living a stable life, he transferred the dart game to his brother Fan Darthead, and he lived a small life with peace of mind, but everyone in our dart game knows that this dart game is still the final word of Qiao Lao's dart, and Fan Dart has also said many times that when Qiao Zhong is older and more experienced, he will return this dart game to Qiao Zhong, and he is just taking care of it now. ”

"No, master, you just said that Qiao Lao Dart is the number two person, he should be the number one person, you are wrong." Yun Qi corrected.

"You're a clever boy." The fat chef pointed a little cloud with a carrot, and said with a smile: "That's right, Qiao Lao Dart is the second person, who this person is, in fact, we don't know very well, I vaguely saw him once, that person looks like a teaching gentleman, with a beautiful beard, he rarely comes to the dart game, and there are not many people who see him." ”

"Then how do you say he's number one?" Yun Qi was puzzled.

"This is Qiao Lao Dart head personally said, said that there is a year, Qiao Lao Dart head dart, go by sea, as a result of the pirate, life and death when the dying moment, it is this teacher Mr. happened to pass, with his men to beat away the pirates, saved Qiao Lao Dart, Qiao Lao Dart head is grateful, said that if it is not a benefactor, their group of people will be buried in the belly of the fish, and after these darts are lost, their families are also unable to compensate, it must be the result of the destruction of the family, and now it is saved by the benefactor, that is, it has saved several families, dozens of lives, The people of the rivers and lakes are revenge, there is kindness to repay kindness, and the grace of dripping water will be repaid by gushing springs, so they will take out half of the shares of this dart board and send it to Mr. Teaching. ”

"Old Qiao is really a good man with clear grievances." Yun Qi boasted.

"This life-saving benefactor is not greedy for the money of the dart board, not only does not collect a penny, but also sends someone to escort Qiao Lao Dart and his party to the destination, and leaves after the smooth handover of the dart, Qiao Lao Dart is grateful, and after returning to the dart board, it will be announced in the dart board, since then, no matter how long the dart bureau develops, no matter how big the strength is, half of it will always belong to the life-saving benefactor, as long as the benefactor comes to take it, it can be taken away at any time, including his own life." The fat man said.

Hearing the words, Yun Qi's blood boiled, excited, and sighed: "Qiao Lao Dart is really a big hero, such chivalrous behavior, the younger generation admires, if you are lucky, you must respect the old dart head three cups." “

"Although the dart head made such a promise, but people just don't accept it, that humanity, saving people is out of their own hearts, not for profit, or to repay, the two have since formed a friendship of life and death, so what about this dart game, the benefactor accounts for half, is the number one person, Qiao Lao Dart head and the brothers account for the other half, and Qiao Lao Dart head Although he doesn't care much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes now, he is still the second person. Little brother, do you understand? The fat cook asked with a smile.

"Thank you uncle for your advice, the past of this dart game is really like a wonderful drama, and it makes people yearn for it and admire it incomparably." Yun Qi praised.

"Then who is that benefactor, he must not be a simple person, right?" After a pause, Yun Qifu asked.

"I don't know the specific situation, I heard Qiao Lao Dart head say, this person is very low-key, unwilling to show grace, so only the upper level of the dart board knows his name, we don't know much. The man has been to the dart game a few times, all in a hurry, did not alarm anyone, quietly came, and quietly left, I only know that his surname is Xu, once Qiao Lao Dart head feasted guests to hear him call him so. The fat cook said.

"This must also be a knight who sees the head of the dragon without seeing the end, I really hope to meet such a hero one day!" Yun Qi expects authenticity.

"Hey, don't dream now, let's bury your head and work hard, aren't you good brothers with Qiao Zhong, when he becomes the head of the dart, you must have hope to see it, when the time comes, don't forget your fat uncle." The fat cook cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks that Yun Qi had eaten.

Yun Qi hurriedly stood up, grabbed the bowl in his hand, and said: "Uncle, I'll do this, how can I let you do it, and it's true that Qiao Zhong and I are good brothers, but I think that doing things still depends on real skills, this Qiao Zhong needs to start from the bottom little by little, if I don't have any ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the eyes of Qiao Lao Dart's head, so uncle, you have to help me more in the future, if I do something wrong, you can remind me more and help me a little." ”

The fat cook smiled so much that his eyes were almost gone, and he pointed at Yun Qi and said, "You kid, your mouth is really sweet enough, if you want to be a chef, I can make you a chef, but you should go with Qiao Zhong, there is a great future." After speaking, he snatched the rice bowl from Yun Qi's hand, waved his hand, and walked straight into the kitchen.

After eating, Yun Qi walked around the yard, people were full of food, and as soon as they relaxed, they felt sleepy, and their eyelids couldn't be raised, so they walked back to the residence, and they didn't wash, and as soon as they took off their coats, they got into the quilt, and after a while, they entered a sweet dreamland.

In the dream, Yun Qi dreamed of the past again, that familiar scene, countless knife lights flickering, countless screams and cries, blood covered the sky, he seemed to be flying in the sky, his feet were full of firelight, Yun Qi saw his mother and sister in the fire again, they were leaning there helplessly, staring at the distracted eyes, looking at Yun Qi, the hateful fat man was wielding a knife, like a demon, my sister suddenly opened her mouth and smiled, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she said something in her mouth, Yun Qi tried hard to get closer, but she couldn't get close, Yun Qi was very anxious, I tried to move forward, but the distance was getting farther and farther away, and the faces of my mother and sister became more and more blurred.

"Don't! ~~" Yun Qi shouted and suddenly sat up from his dream.

Suddenly, he found that a big man in black was standing in front of his bed, staring at him coldly.

"Who?"
