Chapter 250: Bamboo
The beliefs of the ancients are difficult for modern people to understand, and many people are willing to bury their bones and die in the ditch in order to come to the incense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Even in normal times, the people who enter the incense in Jiuhua Mountain are still endless all year round.
Xu Feilong didn't change his clothes, but this time he didn't hire a little maid to carry the luggage, carried the package and carried the book, rushed to Fanchang in one breath, for fear of being discovered, hired a sedan chair, and went straight to Qingyang in Nanling.
He knew that the owner of Ji Shaozhuang must have spread the news, so he hired a sedan chair to cover up the line.
There is a distance of nearly 100 kilometers from Nanling to Qingyang, and it will definitely not be possible to go in one day, so it will take two or three days.
Shortly after the afternoon of this day, the sedan chair arrived in Zhutan Town, which was not far from Qingyang, only more than 20 miles.
This is a small town, of course, the locals will not call their own place called the town, directly called Zhumutan, this name guess also knows that it must be dense bamboo forest, and there are sixty or seventy families living in the bamboo forest. It is the sacred realm of lush forests and bamboo peach orchards.
To the south of the town is the remnant veins of Jiuhua Mountain. The hills are endless, the mountains are verdant, the fields are green, the scenery is quite beautiful, everything seems to be peaceful, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, so there is no vision to be seen.
As soon as Xu Feilong's sedan chair entered the town, he saw bad luck from the gap in the sedan curtain.
According to his observations on the road, it was the busy farming season, and there should not be many idle people walking around the town, but at this time there were many people standing on both sides of the street, old and young, women and children. And all of them looked frightened and curious, and looked westward, as if there was something lively to see, which was the only crossroads in the center of town.
There were a lot of people watching the excitement around the cross street, but they all stood far away, and all eyes were concentrated on the first shop on the left side of West Street.
It was a grocery store, and on the shack outside the store, there were straw sandals, women's sachets, bamboo fans, small baskets, bamboo chops, and other miscellaneous items for sale.
On the bench, there are two peerless young scholars with jade faces and red lips and a slender figure.
Looking at their appearance, they can be seen at a glance that they are brothers, the eldest is only twenty-two or three years old, and the younger brother is about fifteen or sixteen.
Wearing a Confucian scarf and a moon-white robe, he seems to be a Confucian student. Scholar swords are very popular at the moment, after all, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and others have to be afraid of you with a sword on their bodies, but their posture with a sword is different from that of the people in the rivers and lakes, and it hangs very strangely. The sword was stretched high under his left shoulder.
This is the traditional way of carrying the sword of scholars. Usually, he holds the sword in his left hand, as if he is holding a sword. After all, scholars generally don't have much strength, so it will be easier to take it if you are in a hurry, and it also looks very tasteful.
In addition to pretending to be cool with a sword, does a scholar really want to fight with others?
What's more, it is not easy to draw this kind of saber, and it must be raised upwards with the backhand, which is very troublesome, and the reader cannot use the sword to judge in the first place. I can't comment on it.
The two brothers smiled and sat calmly on the bench.
At the entrance of the shed, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old scholars wearing short swords were respectively grabbing the knot of a big man's hair and pulling it backwards, grabbing the big man's right arm with one hand and twisting it behind him, using the traditional grappling technique to make the two people to death.
The big man is tall and the scholar is short, so the two big men have their heads tilted back and their stomachs pushed forward, so it is not easy to stand firmly, and the center of gravity is unstable and they have to fall backwards. It's hard to resist.
"Tell them to confess."
The older scholar said with a smile: "If you buy and sell, you should send it to the official for investigation." Whoever recruits the accomplices first will be able to suffer less and get out of the house earlier. ”
"Do you hear that? Who's going to do it first? A scholar asked, his right hand gradually strengthened, and the big man's wrist slowly tightened inward.
Let go! Put...... Hand! The big man ghost shouted: "He...... They are all ...... It's all gone, and now...... I don't ...... either I don't know where they went. ”
"You're probably born with cheap bones. Let's loosen up! The little scholar smiled and said, his energy growing.
"Hey...... Ouch...... Please...... Please don't ......," the big man shouted.
When the sedan chair arrived, Xu Feilong in the sedan chair shouted: "Stop." ”
The sedan stopped, Xu Feilong lifted the curtains, and said with a smile: "Hey! This is not the Yamen's torture hall, how can someone torture here? ”
"Huh! Here are the robbers being judged. The older scholar said, "Would you like to take a look at it?" In the future, if Brother Tai is released from the outside world, this method may be useful. ”
Xu Feilong lifted the sedan curtain and walked out of the sedan chair, and said to the sedan chair driver: "Go to the front to find a place to eat and wait for me, I'll come later." ”
With that, he walked towards the shopshed and said with a smile: "Haha! If the two of them become officials in the future, they must be out-and-out capable officials, what happened to them? ”
"More than a dozen of them thieves passed through this place, went to this store to shop, got into a quarrel with the shopkeeper, smashed the shopkeeper, injured the shopkeeper, robbed a lot of goods in the store, and scattered in a hurry. How? I look at my brother's dress, it can't be with them, right? ”
"Huh! Do I have the words of their accomplices engraved on my forehead? Besides, what's wrong with my clothes? ”
"Almost!" The elder scholar smiled: "Your martial arts cultivation realm is not low, and you may not be able to wear a Confucian shirt." Are you saying I'm right? ”
"Yes, smart and clever." He secretly admired in his heart: "You see, I won't sweep the floor, if people want to learn to sweep the floor, then they can be considered successful in reading!" Haha, these two brothers, I know whose subordinates these two are, these two small fish are not worth frying in a big pot. ”
"Brother Tai knows them?"
"I don't know, but I know that they are the subordinates of the drunken immortal Weng Cheng Liang, Cheng Lao Ghost is famous, and he is now waving his flag for Shadowless Langjun, and he is probably about to arrive. His group wasn't far behind me, but maybe they would be here later because they might have other things to do. He said lightly, and he had a very good impression of the two handsome scholars who pretended to be Sven: "It's not interesting to catch these two small fish and shrimp, I think it's okay to confiscate their gold and silver to compensate for the loss in the store, what do you two think?" ”
"Well, it's better to even strip off their clothes and pants to make up for it." The younger brother applauded in agreement.
The two scholars immediately took action, searched all the bits and pieces on the two men's bodies, stripped off their coats, and then kicked them in the buttocks, shouting and rolling, and the two men fled in embarrassment.
"I'm Zhou Yong." He saluted and gave his name: "The two brothers have the surname of Taizun? ”
"Li Ju, that's my brother Li Hua, the little scholar Zidian and Qingshuang."
"There is a hotel in the west, I am the east, how about you have two drinks?" Li Ju asked.
"Wonderful! There are many friends with wine and meat, let's make friends, let's go! Xu Feilong immediately agreed.
