Chapter Seventy-Nine: She Bell
"What are you, and you dare to call the leader by his name...... Child, close the beak of the bird...... Hey, how does this kid know what the helper's name is? ......" In the midst of the noise, a young man dressed in a hundred clothes, with a delicate face like a woman, walked over swayingly, and said loudly as he walked: "What kind of birdman actually called your grandfather's name?" ”
The bonfire was still crackling, reflecting the light and darkness of the small temple. Lin Qi didn't speak, he held his hands behind his back, picked up the shelf and waited, the young man walked into the temple triumphantly surrounded by several old beggars, squinted at Lin Qi and asked, "Who taught you your kung fu of driving snakes with one hand?" ”
Lin Qi smiled slightly, took out the bamboo flute and shook it, and sighed: "My snake repellent kung fu was taught to me by a bastard named She Lingling!" ”
"What the fuck are you stinking shit out of a birdman...... The brothers went up and tore him up...... Who does the dog thing scold? ......" Lin Qi's words aroused the anger of the beggars, and all kinds of foul language were scolded together, but the young man looked at Lin Qi blankly, and shouted in disbelief after a good meeting: "Are you Xiao Linzi?" ”
Lin Qi laughed: "Besides me, who will play this flute?" ”
She Lingdang rubbed her eyes and said, "No, no, why do you kid blow better than me?" Besides, your face is too white, and my brother Lin is not a little white face. As he spoke, he leaned in front of Lin Qi, looking up and down carefully, and muttered: "Why is Changdi as handsome as me, this doesn't make sense?" ”
As soon as the two of them said and answered, all the beggars showed surprised expressions in their eyes, they didn't expect that this kid actually knew the helper, and he still looked quite related, so they all closed their mouths suddenly, and no one spoke. Lin Qi sighed secretly, and said in his heart: If you stay in the place where you don't see ghosts for seven years like me, make sure that your face is whiter than me, and you can play the flute better than you, that is more than you, I don't know if you have blown thousands of times, can you blow it badly?
Lin Qi saw She Ling's rogue look, and said with a smile: "You are looking at me like this, I can ask Xiaohua to bite your buttocks, Ling, is Grandpa She okay?" ”
As soon as these two sentences came out, She Ling had no doubts, aha, stepped forward and hugged Lin Qi, and jumped again: "You kid, you really want to kill me, where have you died after so many years?" I've been asking for news from you......"
Lin Qi was happy to see him, and his heart was also hot, and he smiled: "Why did you kid become a helper?" ”
She Lingdang smiled: "I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later." He turned his head to the beggar outside the house and said: "What are you doing standing stupidly, don't you clean up this broken temple quickly, today I reunite with Xiaolinzi, I must have a good drink, go and get me some wine and meat." ”
When the beggars saw the fight and became a confession, they all dispersed with a coax, and some people came up and dragged out three dead dogs, and some people went to fetch water to wash away the blood of the dogs in the temple, and set up a bonfire.
She Ling let them be busy, pulled Lin Qi to the side to talk, and when she was in a place where no one was, She Ling asked: "Why are you alone, what about your master and Zhou Dian?" ”
Lin Qi sighed, didn't hide it from him, told all the causes and consequences beforehand, heard She Ling's sighing, and comforted Lin Qi vigorously, saying that he would let his subordinates help him go to find Zhou Dian, and he would definitely tell him if he had news.
Lin Qi saw that he was ashamed of his words, and asked curiously: "What kind of gang leader are you, why are your subordinates a group of beggars?" What about Grandpa She? Why didn't you see him? I have to kowtow to his old man, if he didn't give me this bamboo flute in the first place, I would really be trapped under the Yellow River. ”
As soon as Lin Qi asked, he changed to She Ling, and said softly: "Grandpa went a few years ago, and when he was dying, he entrusted me to the master, who was the former beggar gang leader, and the master also went two years ago, so I inherited the position of the gang leader......"
When Lin Qi met She Bell, Old Man She felt that he didn't live long, and driving out the corpse was also a favor for the original beggar gang leader, thinking that after he went, his grandson had a support, after Old Man She went, She Bell followed the beggar gang and became the apprentice of the old gang leader, the old gang leader also died two years ago, and passed the position of the gang leader to She Bell, now no one is in charge of him, it is no longer the calm appearance of the past, and he has become jumpy and causes trouble everywhere, but he is the true inheritance of the two families, and he really has some ability in his hands, and the beggar gang is powerful, There really didn't anyone dare to provoke him, and he also made some names in the rivers and lakes.
Lin Qi was also embarrassed when he heard it, and while congratulating him on becoming the leader of the world's largest gang, he asked him why he got here?
She Ling said with a smile: "What is the largest gang in the world, it is just a group of poor people who are afraid of being bullied, but it is not like a regular gang, there are so many rules, those who are willing to come are brothers, and those who are not willing to come, just leave." What's more, the beggar gang is not just my family, there are beggar gangs in the north north of the Yellow River, and the south of the Yellow River is under my control. ”
As soon as he said this, a beggar brought a few jars of his daughter Hong, came over with two broken bowls, filled them with them, and went to drink wine and eat chicken with the other beggars. The yellow-faced man and Xu Laosan came over with wine and said to Lin Qi: "I don't know if Brother Lin and the gang leader are old acquaintances, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family, but we are not bad people, we just want to get some silver, so that the gang leader can pool money to buy some herbs, and let the gang leader collect the snake spirit." ”
Lin Qi also smiled, drank a bowl of wine with them and said: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, the family doesn't talk to each other, Brother Xu, are you okay with your wrist?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Yellow Face helped me connect my bones, apply medicine, and I'll be fine in a while."
The misunderstanding was eliminated, everyone was happy, all the beggars called friends, drank wine and ate chicken, sang loudly, it was not lively, from time to time someone came up to toast, Lin Qi saw that these beggars were sincere to She Bell and was also happy for him, in a trance, he felt that he had dreamed of such a life before, but he didn't think that She Bell was one step ahead of him.
After a few sighs, he asked She Ling, "What's the matter with the snake spirit?" ”
As soon as Lin Qi asked, She Lingjing immediately came to the spirit, and said: "This thing is really fate, a few days ago, there was a solid family surnamed Yin who started to build a house, when digging the foundation, dug out a big hole, there was a big yellow snake in it, three zhang to be long, half a zhang to be thick, shook it and ran away, that night this old man Zhang had a dream, the yellow snake dreamed to him and told him not to start the construction first, it was going to move and let them wait for a few days to start construction, Master Zhang was frightened, and he didn't dare to dig the next day, and put a table of sacrifices, And it happened that one of his brothers came to his house begging for food, and he heard from his family about it, and as you know, I am the most fond of playing with snakes, so he came back and told me. ”
"I took my brothers with me that night, didn't you see the yellow snake, it was very beautiful, and its body was covered with charm-like patterns, this is the snake spirit that grandpa told me, I'm afraid it will be more than a hundred years of Taoism......" She Ling's hand danced, said excitedly, and his face was red.
"What does it mean to be a snake spirit? Maybe it's not useful to others, but for my She family, as long as I subdue this snake spirit, it will be a family protection spirit beast that has been passed down from generation to generation, how can I not be tempted? Immediately set up a lotus array, to catch the snake, but I didn't expect the yellow snake to be quite cunning, before I launched the big array, took advantage of the chaos to run, I chased all the way over, didn't I meet you? ”
Yellow snake? Lin Qi suddenly thought of the yellow python under the Yellow River, but he felt that there was such a coincidental thing in the world, and he listened to She Lingjing's ease, Lin Qi smiled and asked him: "What is the matter with the few herbs that Xu Laosan said?" ”
She Lingjing listened to him ask, and said with some embarrassment: "If grandpa is still there, there is no need to be so troublesome, my skills are still shallow, and the snake spirit is a refined one, I am afraid that it will hurt the brothers who follow me, so I want to match a recipe to lure the yellow snake to take the bait, and then slowly adjust, but the beggars help the poor jingle sound, eat the last meal without the next meal, it is really difficult to make up a few hundred taels of silver, and I can't let the brothers do those unconscionable business, just drag it on, but I will meet you, treat you as a rookie, Thinking of blackmailing you, I have you and my brother to meet. ”
Lin Qi said dissatisfiedly: "You kid is getting more and more unhappy, when you don't look like a child, you even played tricks on me, are you afraid that I will look down on you?" Don't talk about that? ”
"Robbing, robbing your brother, is this a shameful thing to say?" She Lingjing glared and said: "What's more, our brothers have grown up, you are like a dog, but I can't even take out a few taels of silver, isn't it a little inferior to you?" Hehe, although I am poor, I am a face-to-face. ”
Lin Qi couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that She Lingdang's appearance was really not as pleasing to the eye as before, and he didn't say much, he took off the cloth bag containing silver from his waist, smashed it towards She Ling, and scolded loudly: "Are you still fucking fighting for face with me?" When Lao Tzu asked you for help and asked you to ask the snake to bite that Lu Dazhong, did Lao Tzu want to save face? In the future, you have to tell me these things again, and our brother won't have to do it, ah! This is a hundred taels of silver, which I found from the house of a corrupt official, and you can use it. ”
She Ling was not annoyed, and laughed: "I'm polite to you? Lao Tzu told you so much, it is the silver in your waist, what should you be for? ”
Lin Qi was stunned, crying and laughing, he couldn't go up and pinch She Ling's neck, and scolded: "Stinky boy calculates me? ”
"If you don't count the mother, who do you calculate?" The two of them giggled, fought and played, just like when they were children, and their hearts were warm and indescribably comfortable.
After a while, She Ling asked, "You have interrogated me for a long time, and you haven't said what you are doing here?" ”
Lin Qi said: "I have an enemy nearby, and I came to take revenge." ”
