Feeling that there was a vast expanse in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, Fang Erhai was horrified in his heart: It's not good, this light is poisonous, and it blinds his eyes! He quickly closed his eyes in fear and rubbed them vigorously.

"Old man, open your eyes and see where we are?"

With Wang Qing's urgent call, Fang Erhai opened his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned, all around, everything was quiet, and there was nothing.

"Look, there's a light ahead, and since there's a light, there must be someone. ”

Following the direction of Shen Wancai's finger, sure enough, there was a large family not far in front, brightly lit, and there seemed to be many people, as if they were setting up some kind of banquet.

"Is this a happy event, or a mourning event?"

Wang Qing couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You dead old man, can you speak tactfully? Regardless of whether people are happy or mourning, it's none of your business anyway." ”

Shen Wancai said: "Madame's words are wrong, the so-called visitors are all guests, we might as well go over to see what is going on, and take a rest." What do you two think?"

Even if there was a place to stay in the past, it would be great. Thinking so, Fang Erhai pulled Wang Qing and followed Shen Wancai.

When they walked to the front, the three of them realized that it was a big mistake, it was neither a happy event nor a funeral, but someone robbed the house.

The cries and screams mingled with the laughter of the robbers. The house was in shambles, and there was a river of blood outside.

"It's just a robbery, but it's still a murder! Is there any royal law?"

Hearing Fang Erhai's angry scolding, the leader of the robbers suddenly turned around, looked at the three people who were dressed strangely, was stunned for a moment, and said with a laugh: "Leave the things, otherwise, I will send you back to the west immediately." ”

Although Fang Erhai was scared in his heart, he still didn't give up on his mouth: "You guys are so bold, you actually rob and kill people?"

"Old man, hurry, stop talking, run away. Seeing the entire courtyard bleeding like a river, Wang Qing's legs couldn't help but tremble, if it weren't for Fang Erhai supporting her, she would almost collapse to the ground.

"Didn't you see them riding horses? Can you outrun them? Don't worry, we have Shen Lao here. ”

"Since you want to die, then Grandpa will fulfill you!" the leader of the robbers was furious and waved his hand, "Brothers, go up." ”

"Raiding houses and robbing houses, robbing and killing people, I will get rid of you today, and return peace to one side!" Shen Lao suddenly turned his fist into a palm, his figure flashed, and he had already risen into the air, and the leader of the robbers only felt a flower in front of him, and his palm had already slapped to his chest.

The palm was firmly imprinted on the chest of the leader of the robbers.

"Poof!" the leader of the robbers threw his head up, spurted a mouthful of blood into the sky, and fell from his horse, immediately dying.

One palm took the boss's life, and the little minions were shocked and fled in a hurry. Anyone whose legs and feet are not very sharp will be killed by Shen Lao's palm.

Although the robbers were defeated, the family was unrecognizable, and none of them survived. After looking around for a while, he saw a carriage in the stable, so Shen Wancai led it.

Shen Lao urged: "Put all the things in the carriage and leave quickly." They are moving the rescuers, and they will chase after them in a few days. ”

Following Shen Lao's advice, Fang Erhai and his wife hurriedly got into the carriage, and the three of them hurriedly fled the scene by car. When he turned back again, Fang Erhai saw that the original family was already in flames. The robbers really returned, and they couldn't find the murderer of the boss, so they sprinkled all their anger on the family.

After living for most of their lives, when did Fang Erhai and his wife see such a scene, the two hugged each other in fright, trembling.

Shen Lao said while driving the carriage: "Don't be afraid, with me protecting you, you will definitely arrive in Luoyang safely." ”

Fang Erhai said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Shen, if it weren't for your reminder just now, I'm afraid the two of us would be in danger at this moment." ”

"Your family can treat the old man so kindly, regardless of the past suspicions, and the old man is grateful. The old man deserves to do his best to protect you......"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, he grabbed the reins violently, and the horse neighed and stopped.

Fang Erhai asked suspiciously, "Elder Shen, what's wrong?"

Shen Wancai didn't answer his words, but Fang Erhai quickly knew the answer. Not far in front of them, a man armed with a large knife rode a tall horse, smiling wickedly at them.

"I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road money!"

Fang Erhai said indignantly: "This world is really not peaceful, and there is another robber who robs the house. ”

I only heard Shen Wancai say: "If it weren't for Brother Tai to the point of cornering, I don't think you would have blocked the road and robbed." We also encountered robbers, the money around us was looted, and we finally escaped, and I beg my brother to let me wait for a horse, and I will be grateful. ”

This Shen Lao bragged about his kung fu, but he was a first-class high! Fang Erhai secretly admired in his heart, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and he has traveled a lot from south to north, and he has developed a skill. Not only is the martial arts powerful, but the skin is also very tight.

"If you kill my brother, you want to run away, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" he still had a faint smile on his face when he said this.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Smiling Tiger' Jiang Wuxian, that's under it. ”

Shen Wancai thought about it and shook his head vigorously: "I don't know." ”

How can we know each other? How can we know that the era in which we lived was in the late Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and this was in the second year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But Shen Lao always believes that although these are two eras, they are the same rivers and lakes. The people in the rivers and lakes speak of morality. If you respect me a foot, I will make you ten, if you are unkind, then don't blame me for being ruthless and unrighteous. These truths have been eternal since ancient times.

Shen Wancai said: "Even if that family has a thousand mistakes, it will not be all over the house. Why should we rob homes and houses, kill the rich and help the poor, and harm others and innocents?"

The smiling tiger Jiang Wuxian smiled and said: "In today's rivers and lakes, if you don't kill him, he will come to kill you." Today you will not rob him of his money, but tomorrow he will rob you. You won't be ignorant of the principle of the law of the jungle, right?"

Shen Wancai "snorted" and said: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, this is the morality of the rivers and lakes." What kind of bullshit are you?"

"Killing you and avenging my brother is my morality!" Although the voice of the smiling tiger Jiang Wuxian sounded unusually cold, there was always a faint smile on his face.

Shen Wancai said: "Before he dies, can the old man explain a few words to his family?"

"It's okay, I'm waiting for you down there. ”

Suddenly, Shen Wancai said in a low voice: "This person has profound internal skills, and he is by no means an idle person, and there will definitely be a vicious fight in a while." I fought him, and you two fled in a chariot. ”

"No, you'll be in danger that way. Fang Erhai refused.

"This person must have his intentions in a verbal battle with me, and I suspect that the pursuers behind will arrive soon, and if you are at the scene, I will not be able to let go of my hands and feet, and it will be even more dangerous at that time. It's better for you to leave first, I will escape alone, and we will meet in Luoyang. ”

Wang Qing said: "Where is Luoyang? We don't know the way." ”

"Keep moving forward and never look back. When you see the elderly people, you will know when you ask. Remember, don't talk to people on the road and don't trust anyone. ”

"Elder Shen, you must take care of yourself. ”

"We meet in Luoyang. ”

After speaking, Shen Wancai let out a long roar, and his body rose into the air, like an arrow off the string, rushing towards the smiling tiger Jiang Wuxian.

"I can't see that you, a sick old man, still have some skills. ”

Suddenly, I only heard Shen Wancai shouting: "If you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?"

"Drive!" Fang Erhai shook the reins, the horse spread its four hooves, neighed, and galloped forward.

"Want to run, it's not that easy!" smiling tiger Jiang Wuxian sneered, and the big knife in his hand drew a wonderful arc in the air, slashing towards the horse's head.

Shen Wancai shouted angrily, and his strong palm power followed him on the back.

If his knife was split according to this arc, the horse would definitely be split in two, and Fang Erhai would definitely have nowhere to escape, but at the same time, Jiang Wuxian himself would inevitably die under Shen Wancai's hands.

Sure enough, the direction of the knife in the air suddenly changed, and I saw Jiang Wuji's body twist, and the sword light swept sideways, slashing towards Shen Wancai. Shen Wancai jumped and blocked in front of the carriage.

"I really underestimate you. ”

Shen Wancai replied: "The old man has never looked down on you. ”

Watching the carriage disappear into his sight in the blink of an eye, the roots of the teeth of the smiling tiger Jiang Wuxian hated itched.

"Well, take your head as a tribute to my brother!"

Shen Wancai sneered: "You don't have that ability." ”

The two quickly fought together, and they were inseparable for a while. At this time, there was a "rustle" sound not far away, and it turned out that the gang of robbers who robbed the house got the news and quickly killed them. Shen Wancai made a false move, and ran away.

"Don't try to escape from the palm of my hand!"

What surprised the smiling tiger Jiang Wuxian was that this old man was actually very good, and after two or three jumps, the person was gone. Although Jiang Wuxian is good at kung fu, his light kung fu is a little worse. After chasing for two or three miles, I saw that I couldn't catch up, so I had to give up in disgrace.

But he said that Fang Erhai and his wife didn't dare to stop for a while on the way, and finally saw an old man who went home, asked the direction of Luoyang, and immediately continued to set off. In the second half of the night, the heavy rain fell from the sky in an instant, and the two did not dare to stay for half a moment.

Along the way, I didn't eat, drink, or sleep. In the evening of the next day, when people were sleepy and tired, Luoyang City finally arrived.

The two breathed a long sigh of relief, now that Luoyang had arrived, they were relieved. They entered from the east gate of Luoyang City, planning to find an inn to eat casually, and then find a place to rest first.

"Old man, let's save some flowers, I don't know how the children are doing, there will be more places to use money in the future. ”

"They're all ghosts and elves. ”

"Do you think they're going to run into any danger on the way?"

"Even if they encounter any danger, with their ingenuity, they will be able to turn evil into good fortune. Don't think about it, old woman, let's fill our stomachs first, and then get some sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Do you think Shen Lao is in danger?"

"Don't worry, he is strong in martial arts, he will definitely be fine. ”

While talking, Xiao Er came over with a few steamed buns. He looked at Fang Hai and his wife in amazement, where did they come from, dressed so strangely?

Fang Erhai was looked a little unnatural, smiled awkwardly, and said, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong with me?"

"I'm sorry officer, it's just that your clothes are really fresh. ”

Wang Qing stretched her face and was a little annoyed: "What about the dishes we ordered? Why did you serve a few steamed buns?"

Xiao Er smiled awkwardly and kept rubbing his hands: "Two guest officers, there are notices written at our doors." ”

Fang Erhai said: "What are you writing? ”

"Due to the death of my mother, the cupboard went home for the funeral, so I closed for ten days, please bear with me. Xiao Er shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "You see that there are no people now, and it is deserted." We're about to close, you're going to eat and drink, and you're going to come back in ten days. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper heard the voice, and quickly ran out, and when he saw that it was two old men, he was a little relieved, he thought he was here to make trouble.

The shopkeeper smiled and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, two, I'm really sorry." ”

Fang Erhai said: "You guys are like this, how much business do you have to delay, and how much money do you have to make less?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "There's no way." Today's two people in the world also know that it is not peaceful. I hope that the journey of the cabinet service will be smooth, but don't go wrong, that's good. ”

Fang Erhai proposed: "Why don't I cook for you in the next ten days, what do you think?"

"How is the old man's food cooked?"

Fang Erhai took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the table, and said confidently: "I'll cook a fish for you to taste, if you don't think it's delicious, then the ten taels of silver will be yours, if you think it's okay, then in the past ten days, I'll cook for you, you have to take care of our food, take care of our accommodation." How?"

It doesn't hurt to try, and you won't lose anyway. The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Okay, then please give the old man a try." ”

Fang Erhai rolled up his sleeves, entered the kitchen under the leadership of Xiao Er, and picked a carp casually, and Wang Qing followed closely and helped to help.

When it is young, the fragrant smell of deliciousness spreads through the house, lingering on the nose, making people salivate. Smell its fragrance, feel relaxed, taste its meat, the aftertaste is endless, how a fragrant word.

Seeing that Xiao Er ate with relish, the shopkeeper couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fish meat, put it in his mouth, and immediately felt the sudden deliciousness, which was so intoxicating. Savor it, the sweet and sour taste, like a fusion of all the world's flavors, is extraordinarily wonderful.

"Old man...... Oh no! There are no beads in the eyes, please bear with me. As he spoke, the shopkeeper immediately knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "If the master is willing, the two of you can stay, take care of food and housing, and in addition, I can give you one or two pieces of silver a month." I wonder what you two think?"

"Wow! a tael of silver a month, so much?" Xiao Er closed his mouth in surprise, "It's so delicious, it will definitely attract a lot of guests, think about it, it's worth it!"

"That's it, hurry up. Fang Erhai laughed.

At this point, they settled down in this little inn and put down roots. Fang Erhai was working while waiting for the arrival of his children. He didn't know that Fang Mei and Chen Hongzi had already arrived, but at this time, they were shouting the streets of Xishi.

In the same city, one in the west and the other in the east, close at hand, but as if far away from the world.
