Chapter 18: Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and abandon wine and meat
After Zhang Xiaolei agreed to understand his deception, Bailifu finally nodded with satisfaction.
He took Zhang Xiaolei out of the village and said triumphantly: "Ordinary people want to see my deception, and they all require me to do it." Today I am kind enough to let you see you last time. ”
Zhang Xiaolei didn't speak.
He only felt that this hundred lifu was very self-righteous.
Out of Iwamura, there is a forest outside.
Around Yuncheng, there are often people who cut wood, among which the Qian family and the Chen family are the majority, and they all hand over the goods to the Shaw family darts.
Most of the surrounding woods have been occupied by two major families, but there are some woods that are not dense enough, which will attract some people from outside the family to cut wood.
Although he doesn't earn much, he is still enough to support his family.
Briliv walked to the end of the woods, where some huts were scattered out, and it took about a few dozen steps to get a family.
He found a stone and sat down, took out the dry tobacco from his bosom, took out the fire and lit it, and smoked it himself.
Zhang Xiaolei looked puzzled and said, "Aren't you here to deceive people?" Why don't you go yet? ”
"What's the hurry? Now is not the time, wait for me to take a moment. ”
Zhang Xiaolei was a little curious, so he also found a place to sit down.
After noon, people came out of those houses one after another.
They are the loggers who have finished their meals at home, and now they are full of food and drink, and they have to go to work for the afternoon.
When these people passed by, Bailifu finally moved.
He stood up and asked a young man, "This brother, I'm bothering you to show me the way, how to get to Yuncheng?" ”
The loggers stopped, and the young man smiled, "When you go out of the forest, there are three forks in the road, go straight to the side where there are willow trees, and you will reach Cloud City." ”
Bailifu suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Thank you brothers for showing the way, brothers look strong and powerful, are they dart masters?" ”
People laughed: "We're dart masters, we're just lumberjacks." ”
"That's not easy......," Bailifu said politely, "I can't hide it, I've been trapped in this area for two days, and I'm about to run out of entanglements, thanks to the brothers to guide me, please tell me your name, and when I come back from Cloud City, I invite you brothers to eat and drink." ”
"It's just a gesture, so why ask for a drink to thank you?"
"Hahaha, if people want to invite, let him invite, anyway, there are many friends and many roads. My name is Tiger Head, my father was a hunter, and in the year I was born, he led someone to kill a tiger, and he called me Tiger Head. ”
"Tiger head, do you really ask people to have a drink? Hahaha......"
Bailifu exclaimed: "Ling Zun is really good, and his body must not be bad now, right?" ”
The tiger head waved his hand and said: "A few years ago, I died in the mouth of a group of wolves, and only my mother and I were left in the house, otherwise why did I come out to cut wood?" ”
"Ling Zun is a hero...... Bai Lifu said softly, "Since you brothers have something, then I won't delay your time, and now I will also go to Cloud City, and wait for me to come back to ask for wine." ”
"Okay."
The loggers were talking and laughing again, and walked into the forest in the distance.
Bailifu sat down, knocked the cigarette pot on the stone, and said comfortably: "Okay, wait." ”
Zhang Xiaolei was curious: "What are you waiting for?" ”
"Wait for them to get away."
Zhang Xiaolei couldn't figure out what Bailifu was going to do, he obviously said that he was here to deceive people, but didn't he just ask for directions just now?
Bailifu and Zhang Xiaolei boasted about their abilities again, and he didn't have a dry mouth when he bragged, and he even boasted for half an hour, which made Zhang Xiaolei feel that this person was really boring. However, he remembered Li Fengwu's words, so he responded with those four sentences, which really had a miraculous effect.
"Oh?"
"Brother, awesome!"
"That's ......"
"Really?"
With these four sentences, he replied effortlessly, which made him secretly admire Li Fengwu's wisdom.
After boasting and satisfying, Barif patted his ass and stood up, and said, "Begin, you have to hide behind a tree and see." ”
Zhang Xiaolei finally started the secret road, only to see Bailifu actually grab a handful of soil from the ground, wipe it on his face a few times, and then hurriedly ran to those huts, shouting: "Where is the tiger's head!" Where is the tiger's head? ”
When the people in the house heard the movement, they all came out one after another.
An old woman walked out of the house and said tremblingly: "This is the tiger's head family, which one are you?" ”
"Grandma, I'm the one who cut wood with the tiger head, and I live on the other side of the rock village...... "Bailifu said anxiously, "The big thing is not good, the tiger head was hit in the foot by the falling axe, and the blood flowed!" ”
The old woman was shocked when she heard this, and the people nearby gasped.
The old woman said urgently: "What about my tiger? ”
Bailifu hurriedly said: "Everyone has sent him to the hospital, but everyone didn't bring a few money, and the tiger head asked me to rush back to get money for treatment." Grandma, hurry up, I have to run to save the tiger's head. ”
"Ah...... Wait......"
The old woman grabbed her crutches, walked into the house quickly, and finally took out a pair of old silver bracelets, she wiped her tears, and said to Bailifu: "A while ago, their wood was robbed, and the family really has no money for medical treatment, so you can exchange my dowry for money...... Alas, I wanted to exchange money for food, but who knew that something like this happened to Hu'er. Little brother, go quickly, don't let the tiger wait. ”
Briliv gasped and looked exhausted. He took the silver bracelet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the old woman, "Okay, I'll go to the hospital!" ”
With that, he took the silver bracelet and ran towards the woods.
"How?"
He proudly showed off the two old silver bracelets in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's enough for me to eat wine and meat for three or four days, can Mu Yuan's brother be as wonderful as me?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei nodded and said, "Wonderful, you can go, I'm going back to cooking." ”
"Look at your attitude, you don't even show admiration, you must be jealous of my talent......" Bailifu sighed, "what a wooden head, if you praise me a few words, I can teach you a few tricks." ”
Zhang Xiaolei said: "You go to change money first, and after I go back, I will tell Mr. about your wonderful deception." ”
Bailifu smiled, he put away the silver bracelet, and walked leisurely towards Iwamura.
Zhang Xiaolei watched him leave and disappeared, turned around and walked to the door of the previous house, the old woman was still sitting at the door wiping her tears, and people were comforting her.
"Grandma......"
Zhang Xiaolei walked up to her and shouted, then put meat, wine, sweet potatoes, and peanuts on the ground.
The old woman was puzzled: "Little brother, what are you?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile: "Previously, my husband asked the Tiger Head Brother for directions, and thanks to him, he was able to go to Cloud City. My husband heard that the Hutou family had no money to eat recently, so I asked me to bring food and wine. ”
"Thank you, sir...... for me," whimpered the old woman, "and pity my tiger for being cut off on the leg, and I will take meat to make up for him." ”
Zhang Xiaolei said with emotion: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, as the saying goes, good people have good rewards, and the tiger head brothers will be good, then I will go back first." ”
He turned away, came to the fork in the road, and broke off the willow branches and twisted them into whips.
He put the willow whip on his back and sighed deeply: "The wine and food are gone, go and ask Mr. Jing for the guilt." Before, I laughed at Mr. and didn't have a long face, but today I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I didn't have a long face...... Actually, it's me. ”
