Chapter 42: The Storm on the River

"This fish is too alive for me to hold." Yang Xiuxiu said shyly.

Also, the fish is still crackling and twisting, and the tail throws out a lot of water beads, and Yang Xiuxiu is wearing a magenta muslin dress with a gardenia pattern, and it will be ruined if she throws it with the fishy smell. Seeing that she refused to stretch out his hand, Li Chun naturally helped her carry it and sent her to Luosi Lane.

Yang Xiuxiu did abide by her words, but the more she helped Li Chun say good things, the more popular Liu Zhi became. Even if he and Brother Xiaochun quarrel, it is our own business, and we want Yang Xiuxiu, an outsider, to intervene.

"Big sister, try this golden silk cake, just steamed." Feng Jinbao greeted warmly, ran up and down with difficulty with his chubby body, and personally served snacks and tea.

Liu Zhi responded, where do you have the heart to eat with a piece of cake, she is here to find Feng Jiaojiao, Feng Jiaojiao has not come back, alas, I don't know who to talk to.

The golden silk cake was unconsciously twisted by her, Feng Jinbao looked at her like this and said cautiously: "Big sister, do you have anything to worry about?" ”

Although the fifth brother is a good person, he is a boy after all, and he has nothing to say about his own heart. Liu Zhi shook his head: "I'm fine, I'm just a little cold." As he spoke, he sniffed, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved and his eyes turned a little red.

Feng Jinbao looked at her with a pitiful face, and he just wanted to touch it with his little fat hand. He looked at it and lowered his voice: "Is the eldest sister because Yang Xiuxiu and Li Chun quarreled?" ”

The pastry fell to the ground, Liu Zhi was stunned, Li Chun and Yang Xiuxiu, where is this?

"Big sister, don't worry, maybe it's a misunderstanding. You know, those three aunts and six mothers-in-law who are used to gossiping just saw Li Chun and Yang Xiuxiu walking together, it should be Yang Xiuxiu who bought fish and Li Chun sent her home; Doesn't he often help people deliver fish like this, it's not a ---"

Liu Zhi can't remember how he got out of Manxianglou, he was just a little angry with him, did he go to make love to Yang Xiuxiu? He obviously only gave fish to himself to eat, why did he give it to Yang Xiuxiu? No wonder Yang Xiuxiu talked about him in that kind of intimate tone.

Liu Zhi is not a calm person, when she saw Yang Xiuxiu, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, she asked: "What did you and Brother Xiaochun say?" ”

Yang Xiuxiu was stunned, a layer of blush appeared on her delicate little face, and she twisted: "No, just talk about it; The day before yesterday, he and his uncle caught a big net of fish and sold it to Zhang Dahu for a lot of money. Alas, I don't know how to buy a new dress. Xiaozhi, you are so good, you don't want to make up for his clothes when they are torn like that, if you don't know how to make up for it, you bring it and I'll help you get it. ”

Liu Zhi was dizzy, and finally she was provoked by Yang Xiuxiu to cry, what is it, just because Yang Xiuxiu's brother is knowledgeable and reasonable, and Yang Xiuxiu is also more well-behaved and sensible than herself, so everyone likes her. Now even he doesn't want to be himself. He told Yang Xiuxiu everything. Yang Xiuxiu knows what he is doing now, but he doesn't know

Willow Branch cried and gasped, and swept the sewing shed to the ground: "What's wrong with me being stupid?" I hate him, I hate him to death, and if you say him in front of me again, I'll drive you home. ”

"But you asked about him."

"I don't care, I just don't listen to anything related to him anymore, woo woo, he hates me, hates me. I'm just not as good as you, woo, I don't care about him. ”

This Bai Qiye still has to stay in Huashi County for a few days, and he likes Li Chunling, so he calls him to talk often. Bai Qiye is a merchant in Nanquan, Nanquan is a concentration of seafood in the past dynasties, and he has a wide range of knowledge, Li Chun also likes to listen to him say those overseas anecdotes, and he has gained a lot of knowledge, and even Xiaozhi's troubles of ignoring himself have been alleviated a lot.

On this day, Bai Qiye sent someone to call him, but saw that he and another middle-aged man had red faces and smelled of alcohol. The man was also dressed in splendor, wearing a huge jasper ring on his hand, and obviously had a net worth. It turned out that the two of them were old acquaintances, and they couldn't help but brag about eating and drinking, from family business to beautiful concubines and children; In the end, this person bragged about what a capable and loyal servant, but Bai Qiye had nothing to show off, and suddenly remembered Li Chunlai.

The news of the competition between the two merchants spread like lightning, and I saw a few boats and a small flat boat sailing to the opening of a section of the Qingshui River, and the boats were crowded with people with stretched necks, and both sides of the strait followed to watch the idlers, and it was not lively for a while.

Everyone watched intently at the actions on the boat, lest a single detail be missed. I saw a steward standing in the middle of the boat, and there were one person on each side, one was a sturdy young man in his twenties, the other was a thin young man, and the messy short hair was Li Chun. Both of them were topless, and Li Chunzheng bent down to tie his trousers tightly, and his taut waistline was like a graceful bow.

Or, the boat occasionally bumped on the river, and both of them stood firmly under their feet, and the steward leaned slightly and held up a square plate and showed it around, arousing a wave of exclamation, it was a plate full of silver ingots. The amazement has not subsided, and the steward has already thrown it suddenly, and suddenly saw a plate full of silver, and the goddess scattered flowers and hulala, all of which were thrown into the Qingshui River!

And when it was too late, it was too late for Li Chun to enter the water, and in the screams around him, he poked his head out again and again, and almost every time he would throw a silver ingot into the boat. The competition ended in an instant, and everyone was not happy enough, but not everyone was willing to take the silver to play the water, and they applauded more and more vigorously while admiring and envious.

Bai Qiye looked at the Western pocket watch and was proud: "In a quarter of an hour, Li Chun scooped up eight ingots. The other party was frustrated, and his men only picked up three ingots.

Li Chun climbed onto the boat wet, and everyone seemed to have discovered for the first time that this orphan still had such skills. His dark brown skin glistened in the sun, his bare shoulders were broad, his shoulder blades were like a pair of beautiful wings, and the droplets of water slid down his back to the tail vertebrae, and there was even a pair of waist sockets. His hair was short, and his facial features were not covered at all, so bright that people were embarrassed to stare at it, but they were reluctant to look at it.

Everyone was amazed that this young man, who had been adopted by a drunkard, was so handsome. It turns out that the eldest girl of Fengliuji is the discerning pearl.

Bai Qiye had said before that Li Chun would go to him as much silver as he scooped up from the river, and Li Chun was very happy to earn face for him, and directly rewarded him with a gold ingot. The eyes of everyone on the dock who looked at Li Chun were a little more obscure and greedy.

Li Chun was very happy with so many silver ingots, not to mention that there was a piece of gold, and he was going to Mao Fuxiang to buy bracelets after changing his dry clothes. He was stopped.

There was the sound of flesh pounding and snorting in the black alley. No one was curious about this, so they all tightened their necks and wisely bypassed. Suddenly, a few shrill screams came out of the alley, causing a mouse to squeak back into the hole. "O iniquity, who has suffered again?" The people who were close also closed their doors and windows, and only sighed in a low voice in the house.

Li Chun slowly crawled out of the black alley, felt the short wall and sat up, he closed his eyes and spit out a slippery and salty mouthful of blood in his palm, telling himself that it was no big deal, and it would be good to go back to sleep. When the pain in his chest dissipated slightly, he struggled to move to his feet.
