Xiaojie and I took a boat from the Yangtze River Wharf in Anhui Province to the west, passing through Sanjiangkou, Xiakou, Chibi, Dongting Lake and Wushan. Abandon the boat in Wushan to buy a car into Sichuan, cross the White Emperor City through Badong, cross the Linjiang River and Yueba County, and then take the boat to flow the Tuojiang River around Chengdu into Qingcheng Mountain.

On the road, the boat and car, so secretly walking for about half a year, the fourth year of February 4 in the spring, we came to the Qingcheng town at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain safely.

Actually, our whereabouts are not very secret, but they fight all the way and contain each other, which is beneficial to us.

The street is full of traffic, and people come and go.

We finally squeezed into the small town and found an inn at No. 34 West Street, which was called 'Sesame Mung Bean'.

I laughed and said, "That's really unreasonable! What is the wrong name? I've never seen anything so funny." ”

Xiaojie smiled and said, "Maybe people have a deep meaning, it's not something you and I can understand." "Since she promised me her life, her whole person has changed, she has become mature, she has become radiant, and she has become charming and charming. However, it is strange that she will be shy when she does not come, even more shy than when she was a girl.

'Sesame mung bean' is actually not as small as sesame mung bean, but large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

We entered the door and registered with the shopkeeper to stay overnight and have the food delivered to the room.

The shopkeeper was famous, his face changed suddenly, he raised his presbyopia eyes to look at us carefully, and then shouted: "Oh! Your Excellency is here!

We inexplicably went upstairs with the shopkeeper, went to the private room without saying a word, and chose to sit by the window. The shopkeeper immediately ordered the food to be served. But I saw that the maids were sending it in an endless stream, a plate of fried peanuts with sugar, a plate of braised beef in sauce, a plate of braised elbow, a pot of boiled sea bass, a bottle of tribute wine that the emperor could drink, and various pastries and fruit plates.

The dishes are so sumptuous! As the saying goes, eating people is soft-mouthed, and the shopkeeper must have something to do with us.

Xiaojie said: "I didn't ask for these dishes, what do you mean?"

The shopkeeper said: "When the distinguished guests come, my lord instructed the little old man to be warmly welcomed." I don't know if these dishes are still satisfied?"

"In such a small town, how can we not be satisfied with such a high-standard hospitality? Satisfied, we are very satisfied!" Xiaojie pressed my hand and winked. "Xianggong, go out and drink less. ”

I saw her eyes, and when I turned around, I saw a lot of characters, some I knew and some I didn't. Everyone pretended to be nothing, and I pretended to be nothing, but I was secretly vigilant against their every move. "Shopkeeper, who is your boss sacred, and why is he so courteous?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "My master admired Mr. in the early years! ”

I said, "Don't dare to be!"

"Slow down, two!" the shopkeeper clenched his fists and left.

Xiaojie was afraid that there was a problem in the wine and food, so she took off the silver hairpin on her head and tried it in the wine and food, so she used the chopsticks.

"You've had a hard time finding me, but I've found it. "A young man suddenly appeared in front of us. The young man is handsome and chic, but there is a dark blue between his eyebrows, and he is dressed in white, and he is evil. "Mr. Lu, brother, please come here. ”

"Please sit down!" I was shocked, I came, I couldn't avoid it! On the surface, it was still Gujing, politely gave up his seat to him, and turned around and called, "Xiao Er, another pair of cups and chopsticks." ”

"It's coming!" Xiao Er hurriedly prepared to come over, and when he looked up, he saw this young man, as if he was a ghost, his hands trembled suddenly, and he stammered respectfully: "Young Master Xu, it turns out that you-"

I couldn't bear it, "There's nothing to do with you here, go down!" Looking back, those characters in the rivers and lakes had already said goodbye, as if they were running away from the plague god's mentality. Xindao: What is the origin of this guy?

Xiao Jie hurriedly rewarded Xiao Er, "Gongzi Xu is our nobleman, there is nothing for you to do here." ”

Xiao Erru was amnestied, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Say! What advice does Your Excellency have?" I know that this kind of person likes to deceive the good and fear the evil, and if you treat him politely, he will look down on you, and he can only come hard, and be more domineering than him-I feel the gun in my hand, and I plan to fight to the death.

When Xu Erliu was about to pour blood luck. "Diffusely. Suddenly, a little man in his fifties rolled up the stairs. The point is to roll. Because people have short calves, they walk like rolling, and they run like rolling.

Xiaojie was startled by the sudden strange man.

This dwarf has short hands and feet, but his belly is as big as a ball, and his head is like a gourd, but he has no neck. The hair is thin, the eyes are like mung beans, the eyebrows are picturesque, there is a cherry mouth under the red nose that describes a beauty, and a melon seed face that describes a beauty.

Xiaojie was afraid, she later said that she had never seen such a monster with such a personality since she was a child-

Don't look at me on the surface I am very calm, in fact, I am roaring in my heart, grass, damn it, my heart can't stand it. I don't mean to discriminate against people with disabilities, it's just that he looks too unflattering.

It's fine in the daytime, but if I meet him and run out at night, I won't be scared to death.

"It turned out to be 'mung bean', Lu Er's boss. Xu Gongzi trembled and hurriedly got up on guard, his expression was nervous, and he changed his cold and arrogant demeanor before, which was worse than the second little boy of the shop just now.

The dwarf turned out to be the second boss of this inn, so the big boss is 'Sesame'?!

Mung Bean is ridiculously kind, and it is not easy for him to be evil, because his character and appearance do not allow him to be fierce. "Xu Erliu, why do you disturb my guests for no reason!

Xu Erliu made a helpless expression and said: "Second master, you don't know, I am also a teacher, and I have no choice but to do it." ”

Mung Bean smiled: "Your old ghost master is going to see something strange again?"

Xu Erliu said respectfully: "The apprentice doesn't dare to speculate on the master's mind. ”

Mung Bean said angrily, "Hmph, I wonder what about that old thing? If he hadn't hurt me back then, how would I be the way I am today?"

"All the brothers of the beggar gang, come quickly, Zhang Dashan people in the east of the city are giving porridge and rice again!" There was a shouting sound on the street outside the window, and I saw a large group of beggars swarming to the east.

When I saw it, I sighed in my heart, thinking of the new century, there are very few people who really do good people, but I can't imagine that this ancient remote town has such a good person! "Go and see!"

Xiaojie hurriedly said, "Okay!"

"Two, there will be no time in the future!" Ignoring the mung beans and them, Xiaojie and I rushed down the stairs. Someone in charge, regardless of 3721, pulled out the gun and fired, 'bang ......bang bang' a row of bullets whistled out, and the guys were all slandered, and they fell downstairs like a gourd, screaming amazingly.

Xiaojie has been holding back her evil anger for a long time, and she has long wanted to find someone to vent, so she is usually gentle, and said sharply: "You remember, what my husband gave you this time is a small punishment and a big warning, and I will never spare you next time." Get out!"

Seeing several guys injured and falling to the ground, the mung beans who came later were so frightened that they cried wolf, "Grandma's, it's amazing! Let them go, don't chase them!" He only now found out that Mr. Lu, whom he had always admired, had always wanted to recruit Mr. Lu for his own use, was not as simple as the things in the pool, it was impossible to be at the mercy of others, and he was really naïve.

Xu Erliu also felt cold and said: "It's so powerful, what a domineering secret weapon!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his teeth chattered: "Boss, is it just that?"

"We can't just leave it at that, we have to think long-term. Mung Bean deliberately laughed loudly: "What's more, Zhang Dashan is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

When I heard this, people had already arrived on the street, 'Zhang Dashan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Is he a hypocrite?

Xiaojie and I became more and more at ease, and said with a smile: "Since we doubt him, we will expose his true colors." ”

To the east of Qingcheng City, there is a triangle where the Min River and the Tuo River fork. The Zhang family, which sits in the south and faces the north, is in front of you, painting beams and carving buildings, and the momentum is magnificent.

The square is full of beggars who are dirty and dirty.

I don't discriminate against beggars, but anyone who is good at hands and feet, as long as they are not brain-dead or lazy, it is not difficult to support their families. The reason why there are beggars in the world is that they are all good people, who only know how to teach people to fish, but do not know how to teach people to fish.

Zhang Dashanren's family distributed rice in the square, their fat faces were sunny, and they said proudly: "Today is the little girl who turns twenty-two years old. The little girl showed kindness in front of the Qingcheng Guansan Halal People, and the old man opened the granary at home to relieve the needy. How long will it take for you to congratulate you on some good deeds? ”

In order to express their gratitude, the beggars shook the sky with a heartless flattery and coaxing, which could be heard within a radius of five hundred miles.

"Congratulations to the young lady for a thousand years!"

"I wish Miss a blessed life!"

"Congratulations to the young lady for a full house!"

......

"I wish Miss a happy marriage!"

The young lady of the Zhang family and the maid also distributed rice in the crowd, and when they heard this series of meaty congratulations, they glanced at her father with disgust, and they were embarrassed. When I heard the last sentence, I looked up inadvertently, and the ghost sent me to see me at a glance, and my heart shook, and then I bowed my head shyly, and silently retreated to the door with the maid.

How much intersection can there be with me in a brief glance? What is the little woman's shyness? I must find an opportunity to tell her that what she saw at first sight was only my superficial scenery, and did not see my troubles and physical defects—in fact, I was still blind.

Myopia was an incurable disease in ancient times, isn't it blind?

I don't know if she regrets it, anyway, I later learned that I really regretted dying when I met her in this life.

That's an afterword.

I wandered around the periphery of the crowd, pointing and pointing with Xiaojie to tell about the accident.

The maid came belatedly, saluted arrogantly in front of me, and said, "Son, my lord is invited." Then he saw me looking at her with glasses, and I was a little surprised, and my expression was even more disdainful.

Xiaojie slapped me, grinned and teased: "Someone has taken a fancy to you again, and I don't know what is good about you? ”

"I don't know!" I laughed to myself, "what is so good about me that will attract you." ”

Xiaojie blushed and said, "You are necrotic!

The maid looked at me, looked at the shy Xiaojie, stomped her feet and hummed, and urged: "Childe, please." ”

When I came to Zhang Dashanren's Village, I entered the living room in the backyard, and the maid introduced the lord, Mrs., and Miss, and I met Xiaojie one by one.

Zhang Yuanwai smiled and stared, and did not look strange because of my specialness.

Cunning and cunning!

When Miss Zhang saw my true face of Lushan, it was too late to regret it, she really 'liked' me, a 'wise man' with glasses.

Like a fart, there must be some ulterior conspiracy in this.

In ancient times, glasses could not be produced, only from the West were introduced, which were very expensive, and the Zhang family was not very surprised.

Zhang Yuanwai said at this time: "It seems that the little girl can only marry——"

I was in a state of panic, no, no...... No, don't marry me, I already have Xiaojie, and there are a bunch of 'troubles', but I don't dare to accept the grace of the beauty anymore, I will commit bigamy.

Hahaha...... Stinky fart, think beautiful!

Zhang Yuanwai continued: "Mr. Ye Gucheng has made a dowry yesterday, and the little girl has just turned twenty-two today, according to the agreement, the little girl can only marry him." ”

When I heard these words, my head thundered, and I was dizzy, annoyed and lost, and it turned out that I had done it myself.

Who made me obedient and start thinking cranky after listening to half of it?

Miss Zhang said bitterly: "My daughter resolutely refuses to marry him, Naye Gucheng has already buried half of his body in the loess, how can he spoil his daughter like this." ”

"Junzhi, Mr. Ye Gucheng has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for 30 years, and his wealth is so powerful that almost no one can match it. If he wants to marry you now, can we resist?" Zhang Yuanwai hung his head and said: "If I resist with him, I will undoubtedly touch the stone with an egg." ”

My head was still dizzy, and I kept thinking, "Ye Gu Cheng, Ye Gu Cheng...... I'm going to fight you alone!" I didn't expect that the words I was thinking in my head couldn't help but shout out, and it was shocking, and it was too late to be alert.

Everyone looked at me with their own thoughts, Junzhi was happy, Xiaojie was jealous, but Zhang Yuanwai and his wife were surprised. The people all looked at me like a monster, looking at me as a disgraceful person.

It is indeed a shame to be tricked by the Zhang family's father and daughter!

Zhang Yuanwai laughed at this time, "The old man saw that Mr. was extraordinary, and he knew that he must be a hero!"

He's going to kill me nakedly!

Jun Zhixing came forward to give me a blessing, "Thank you Xianggong for your righteousness, but Mr. Naye Gu Cheng is not easy to match, Xiang Gong is afraid that ......" She would rather marry a young man who is not good-looking, than marry an old pervert like Ye Gu Cheng.

Xiaojie smiled at this time: "Xianggong's ability, you have never seen it at all, Miss must not make a decision early." ”

Zhang Junzhi found out about Xiaojie's existence, and asked, "Who is this young lady?"

I don't believe they haven't investigated my relationship with Xiaojie. She asked knowingly, it can be seen how the eldest lady usually has no one in her eyes, and I feel sorry for Xiaojie in my heart.

Xiaojie hurriedly said: "I am Xianggong's personal maid." ”

"Who was shouting just now? What a brave man! Did Mr. Ye Gu Cheng dare to pull out his tiger whiskers? He was impatient. "A man who looked like a dead father suddenly burst in.

The Zhang family's nursing home couldn't stop it at all.

"The old man came to introduce, this is the housekeeper of the industry, the nephew of Mr. Ye Gu Cheng. Zhang Yuanwai still didn't dare to break with Mr. Ye Gu Cheng first. Hurriedly repelled a few subordinates, chatted with the visitors, chatted about the atmosphere, and talked about the harvest.

But the big housekeeper didn't give Master Zhang face at all, and glared at me and said, "Who is this sacred?"

Zhang Yuanwai couldn't introduce me at all, "This is ......"

Xiaojie hurriedly said: "He is Mr. Lu Fengxian's cousin, Mr. Lu Liangshan Lu." ”

I glared at Xiaojie, only to see that she was still naughty, and she didn't look like a wife anymore.

"Lu Liangshan?" the big housekeeper said, his face changed drastically, and he lost his momentum. I stayed for a while, held my hands, turned around and ran.

The people present were baffled because of the sudden change, and although Zhang Huang looked around, he knew that there was a noise, but he didn't understand where it came from.

"This bully is a blind one, annoyed!" My pistol is still smoking. "What I don't like the most is this kind of bastard, I don't give him a small punishment, and I also say that heroes in the world have to rely on his family business, Mr. Gu Cheng's snort. ”

On the ground, in addition to the fingers left by the great housekeeper, there were also bright red and dazzling blood stains, all the way out of the door.

Zhang Yuanwai was so frightened that his face was white and his lips were blue, and he trembled: "How is it good? How is it good?"

The lady was so frightened that she fainted in her chair at the sight of the bloodshed.

"Mother, father. Junzhi hurriedly stepped forward to visit, looked back at me in a panic and helplessly, and a thousand words were all in his words.

Xiaojie hurriedly stepped forward and massaged the 'Renzhong' acupoint for the lady outside the staff, and it took a while for her to let her breath come through.

"Alright, alright, thank you!" Junzhi was grateful, crying with joy.

Xiaojie complained: "Nothing, as long as you don't compete with me for him, I will thank you." ”

"What?" Junzhi was stunned when she heard this, Bing Xue was as smart as her, how could she not understand the meaning of Xiaojie's words. There was a sudden sadness in her heart, but she couldn't take care of it anymore, and it was important to take care of her parents.

Although Zhang Yuanwai is rich and noble, he has no queen, and he only hopes that his daughter can recruit a son-in-law to inherit his Zhang family's cigarettes. Knowing that regretting marriage now will offend karma Gucheng, I still want to be in case.

Everyone knows that offending the karmic steward is offending the karmic Gucheng.

"We repented of the marriage, and the steward was injured again, and when he went back, he said that he had offended Ye Gucheng to death. When Master Zhang thought of Baiyun Villa's revenge, his heart suddenly pulled out the cold, "Our Zhang family is now in a catastrophe!

People who calculate too much do not necessarily gain more.

At this time, the old man still wanted to trick me.

I'm a good person, and I deserve to be tricked.

Seeing that the Zhang family was all sad, it was impossible to come up with a good way to deal with the predicament for a while. I had no choice but to come out to take charge of the work, help to finish the charity outside after running before and after, and then direct the family to prepare all the projects to defend against foreign enemies.

Alas, I shouldn't be impulsive! The so-called petty intolerable is really trying to plot big.

I suddenly said, "Xiaojie, do you know that there is an iron master nearby?"

Xiaojie said blankly: "I don't know, just ask them." ”

When a bald man heard this, he said: "Son, there is an old gentleman ten miles west of the city, and his iron-striking skills are extremely high, not only can he fight, but also make all kinds of tools. ”

"What's the old gentleman's name, I wonder if I can help?" I quickly grabbed him and asked.

The bald family said: "The old gentleman is a member of the family, so he naturally wants to help, and the little one will take you there." ”

"I'm not going, I'm busy here, Xiaojie, you go. I handed her the drawings, "You must build them according to the drawings, and you can't add or subtract a penny." ”

Xiaojie glanced at me, stopped talking, and after going out, she said to the family: "Trouble big brother to lead the way." ”

Three days and two nights passed.

When Junzhi saw that his father could not be a director, he looked back and saw me as a guest, but he was active and diligent, and naturally no longer 'saw outside', and also shyly followed me to command his subordinates, and from time to time he had to condemn the lazy nurses and the family members who did not listen to my command. "You have heard it clearly to Miss Ben, the master has allowed it, Mr. Lu is now the master of the Zhang family, don't think that the master is physically disobedient, you dare not put the master in your eyes, hum!"

As soon as the family heard the young lady's words, his heart tightened, and his movements immediately became a lot sharper.

"Or you have the prestige. You're stronger than I thought. I smiled bitterly, and for days I had endured their cynicism and unbearable gossip.

Junzhi smiled sadly and said: "I have to be strong, because what Ye Gucheng is trying to do is my family's property, and I don't want my parents' hard-earned family business to be handed over to others in vain." You've got to help me!"

"I will. Seeing her frowning, I couldn't help but say, "You're haggard!"

Junzhi looked at me and said nothing, but her eyes were watery and about to drown no one.

"You have to rest well, everything is with me. I turned my back and said, "Alas, a beautiful young lady, now she is tormented by the hardships of life." ”

When Junzhi heard this, he was excited, and snuggled up to my back for comfort, "Don't leave me!"

Xiaojie came back at this time, and when she saw us like this, she was angry and annoyed, and couldn't help coughing dryly, "Xianggong, what you want, I have already asked the blacksmith to build it." The drawings are returned to you. When she handed over the drawings, she still couldn't help but hate us, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Xiaojie, you ...... Don't get me wrong. We...... Nothing. "It's good that I don't explain, but this explanation makes people even more suspicious, there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

"It's okay if you misunderstand, just let her misunderstand!" I didn't expect Zhang Junzhi to have such a scheming, and she couldn't see that her delicate appearance was so hard and thorny in her bones. It was probably in the past few days, and the accident was unpredictable, which stimulated her fiercely.

Xiaojie smiled instead, as if fighting with Zhang Junzhi, "Xianggong, I won't misunderstand you, and I will never misunderstand you." He turned around and beckoned to the family, "Come in!"

More than a dozen boxes were brought in by dozens of men and placed in the courtyard.

Zhang Junzhi was strange, "What is this for?"

Xiaojie smiled: "This is the dowry brought by the father-in-law, I hope the young lady will not dislike his gift is vulgar." ”

"What kind of dowry? I'd like to see. Zhang Junzhi didn't understand Xiaojie's sarcasm, but deliberately showed her. When the box was opened, it turned out to be nothing more than an iron tool, "What is this for?"

I hurriedly pulled Xiaojie over and said on the side: "Xiaojie, you know my heart very well, why do you want to make me ugly like this?"

Xiaojie smiled when she heard this: "I'm sorry!

"That's fine!" I laughed, "Let's go, look at our baby." ”

Zhang Junzhi looked at me in surprise, "Xianggong, this ......"

I laughed and said, "These things don't fit into Miss's eyes, do they?"

Zhang Junzhi said: "Is it difficult, what kind of treasures are they?"

I smiled but didn't answer, took out a few iron tools from the box, and after a little fiddling with my skillful hands, a strong crossbow was ready.

"Oh! it's amazing!" Zhang Junzhi was amazed, and immediately doubted, "What can it do?"

I said, "As long as Mr. Ye Gu Cheng dares to come, I can make him unable to go back." ”

Xiaojie was also puzzled, "Could it be that this is a tool used to deal with Mr. Ye Gu Cheng?"

I said: "This secret weapon of mine is extremely powerful, no matter how solid the city wall is, it can be blown down, not to mention that Mr. Ye Gu Cheng is just a mortal body, and no matter how powerful his kung fu cultivation is, he can't resist its bombardment." ”

Zhang Zhang Junzhi said: "I don't believe it. ”

"I'll show you. "I took out the gray powder from one of the chests, filled it in a tin can, and then closed it with its matching iron hat, and tied it firmly to the feathered arrow, and took a strong crossbow to compare it for a while, and it felt good. "You don't know, this powder is an explosive mixed with realgar, sulfur, nitrate and wood charcoal ash, and it will explode if it collides slightly. This weapon can be called a grenade, a rocket, or a bomb. ”

Everyone watched me quietly, hoping that I would surprise them.

Everything was ready for me, and the young lady instructed the family to prepare earthen handles outside the square.

When everything was ready, I stretched out my bow and arrows, aimed at the target, and "Look carefully." "As soon as I released the strings, I saw the cannonballs rushing towards the handles in the distance like meteors, and I only heard a shocking explosion, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the sky.

Shocked!

"Oops!" Junzhi's face turned pale with shock, she had never seen such a domineering explosion since she was a child, and the firecracker was simply inferior to my cannonball.

Xiaojie has seen the power of my pistol, but she didn't expect this inconspicuous guy to be more powerful and domineering than a pistol.

When the family members saw it, they threw themselves to the ground in admiration, "Wise man, saint, you are so great!" and then collectively cheered: "Wise man, wise man, wise man......!"

Back in the hall, I said to Junzhi, "Miss should learn this set of marksmanship in order to defend herself and even protect her family." ”

Junzhi was a little timid, "Let's learn from someone who is bold in the family!"

"You have to learn, there's nothing to be afraid of. I said, "Your family's subordinates, I don't worry about them." ”

Junzhi knew what I was going to say, "Okay! For the safety of the Zhang family, I'll learn." ”

First of all, we aimed at the jar and let Miss Zhang practice. This is a spring pistol with no terrible sounds. Don't look at Miss Zhang's weak beauty, but she is very strong, coupled with a flexible and intelligent mind, she learned it in one day, and her accuracy is not bad.

This is the proudest thing in her life!

Xiaojie also learned to use a pistol, but it was sound, and she was determined to be better than Junzhi. 'How's that?' I'm just not afraid of this guy's voice not wanting to be lonely. ’

'The courage of the horseman is not something to be proud of. Junzhi was not convinced, but he did not dare to follow suit.

The family suddenly came to report, "Miss, the young master is here!"
