Daddy Yan's voice was much better than everyone expected, and he thought that the rest of the month would be as good as ever, but now it only takes ten days to return to the same as before, so the building that has been closed for some time is open to tell the story.

The cooks and helpers in Rouge Lane have nothing to do in recent days, so when they saw Sister Cui's building open again in the afternoon, they all came, so the first floor of the building that had been deserted for a long time was a full house.

Daddy Yan opened his mouth for the first time after his throat recovered, and he didn't say much, the opening words were all trivial matters, and the listeners who were partial to the bottom of the head were more energetic than the earlier talks about the fighting scenes, and they had to shout every three or five days, so that Daddy Yan was relieved, thinking that if he was good today, he could ask for a bowl of rice wine from Mother Sun's hand, and the wine lees were not impossible.

Thinking about the wine that has not touched his mouth for a long time, Daddy Yan swallowed his saliva, and his mouth was a little faster, Wei Changpan was most of his friends, shuttling through the crowd from time to time with some broken mouths to eat and tea, cheap wine and cold pork ears to shoot cucumbers and fried peanuts and other appetizers, the price is not expensive, the amount is not much, it is Sister Cui's new way, and it will not take long to see the results, two small pieces of broken silver were sent to the money jar, weighed and weighed, there are about two coins of silver.

Since Sister Cui met the visitors that night, the powder she applied on stage was not very heavy, but it could cover a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes and neck.

The hinge plucked the strings three or two times, Sister Cui should come with Daddy Yan, and a few guests who listened to the pipa also arrived, probably praising her means, and the broken silver was sent up again, although these are not high rollers, they are not stingy with their shots, often more broken silver than copper plates, and there are also slightly generous, and the small silver ingots of two taels of silver have also been seen.

When the sun sank in the west and the rouge alley gradually became lively, the people in Sister Cui's building also dispersed where they were working, Wei Changpan swept the messy ground, and asked curiously to Mother Sun and Sister Cui, who were counting copper plates, "How much is the income?"

"There is still a small pile of copper plates left to count, don't worry.... Two or four coins and one cent of silver, as well as half a copper coin, and more than a dozen large coins that can top five literary envoys. ”

Daddy Yan was pouring tea down, Sister Cui was pulling the abacus with her sour fingers, and Mother Sun strung the copper plate words together and said: "Such a good business, you can meet it all year round, you can count it with two hands, and it is half a lot of money on weekdays." Saying that, Mother Sun swayed towards Wei Changpan, and shook the string of rattling copper coins.

"I've earned so much money today, and I'm tired, why don't you start a meat dish today?" Sister Cui threw down the abacus and said with a smile.

Father Yan rubbed his hands and sneered: "Old man, I'm talking about a story today, and my mouth is dry..."

"So you have to take a pot of wine to moisten your throat?" Sister Cui seemed to be smiling, and saw that Daddy Yan shrunk her neck, "Cheng, Daddy sold his strength today, and a pot is a pot." ”

Wei Changpan did some chores in the building again, and failed to go to the mouth of Rouge Alley to box, to tell the truth, he also felt that this punch was repeated over and over again, a little boring, how could he only look at the different changes between the five styles of splitting and drilling and the other dozen hands.

said that he was a disciple of Zhang's gun, but Wei Changpan actually only learned some boxing skills, and the kung fu of dancing knives and guns was according to the words of Qian Erye earlier, and he had to wait for the third floor of martial arts, and the skin, flesh, muscles and bones were boiled home, accompanied by Zhang Wu's unique method. It's a big hit when you get started.

So far, how can I get the way?

Knowing that he was not a genius who could find a unique way in martial arts, Wei Changpan was no longer obsessed with the temporary realm level and weapon kung fu, and could only repeatedly refine those styles to the field where he could no longer improve, and then talk about other things.

The meal that night was not seen in the building for a long time, although it was not much, but it was a rare good meal, the fish was a frozen fish transported from the beach by a cart, the meat was braised meat, and the butchers in the city did not get the pigs for a few days, so Sun's mother went to the lo-mei shop to buy ready-made.

Father Yan was drunk, and he couldn't walk the road, and he was still humming a storytelling joke in his mouth, and was carried upstairs by Mother Sun and Wei Changpan. 、

When Wei Changpan went downstairs to fetch water to clean up the dirt that Father Yan vomited, Sister Cui didn't have a head to mention it: "It's been closed in recent years." ”

Seeing that he couldn't turn his brain, Sister Cui said angrily: "The guy Ji Yi has been looking forward to going back to the New Year in recent years, Panzi, you are good, I want to rely on it, don't you take advantage of the relaxation in and out of the city in the past two days to go home to see your father? ”

"Carry this little bit of silver, and don't show your wealth when you go out. Wei Changpan stuffed a small handkerchief bag into his arms, "The broken silver is exchanged and reused, pick the big road, and when you meet a group of guests, you will embellished it, don't think about mixing in, the account in the building has been cleared twice, and the three people in the building can handle it." ”

"Sister Cui, does this mean to drive people away?" Sister Cui did everything he wanted, and Wei Changpan had the courage to ask.

"A small family can't accommodate you as a budding character. ”

Half joking, half serious, she said.

When the sun first rose, the pinky uncles of the city gate captains yawned and handed over their shifts, and the cars waiting to leave the city at the east gate of Wuhang City were lined up endlessly, some of them were dotted, or they had some contact with which official master in Wuhang City, and they were not good at pinching the tip of the banknote.

As for the rest, it will inevitably be scraped down with some oil and water, after all, it is not easy to get out of the city in this situation, and you can get a pass card in the government office to ask grandpa to tell grandma, but if the city gate captain on duty does not play well, a "drag" word, two or three days are not allowed to go out of the city is also a common thing, that is, the so-called Hades is better, and the little ghost is difficult.

The Jiangzhou state army stationed outside the city opened the camp gate, and a lieutenant with fifty armored soldiers cleared the hungry people out of the city with spears and spears, and then guarded on both sides of the avenue, and forced them to be a foot away with spears, in case there were hungry and crazy people coming forward to rob, and the defending sergeant on the city gate saw this, and only then did he inform his colleagues under the city that he could open the city gate.

In recent days, although there have been more grains than in the past, and there are fewer people starving to death, they are just relying on the small bowl of thin porridge water in the porridge shed to hang their breath, and they are helpless to see the smell of wine and meat in Wuhang City across the wall, even if everyone is crazy, so it is not idle to catch fast in the city.

Wei Changpan sat in the carriage of a big car, surrounded by many other villagers who came to Wuhang City to seek a livelihood, among the more than ten people, there were not only Huisu Erzhou, but also outsiders from Qingzhou in the north, some of them were craftsmen with craftsmanship, and they lived a good life, and half of the savings saved throughout the year were spent on the carriage back to their hometowns, and most of them did not go to renovate the old house of the family, but saved them for their wives.

Those who don't have craftsmanship are either working hard or doing chores, and the wages are not as good as those of craftsmen, but they also have to pay a few dollars of silver to sit in a car for a long distance, otherwise they are afraid that they will be robbed within a few steps out of Wuhang City, so they will leave you a life, and those with poor luck will be buried in the unknown, and this kind of case has never been solved.

However, the big car that Sister Cui placed for Wei Changpan had been dotted up and down earlier, although the cost was a few more dollars and silver, but fortunately, he could buy an Ansheng, but the big car went to the southwest of Suzhou, and he had to come down halfway down the road and walk fifty or sixty miles to Qishan County.

There is still business in the building, and he told Sister Cui that he should not send it.

In the car, there was a fellow villager surnamed Xu Mingxian, who was not a few years older than Wei Changpan, and his family road was broken, so he went to Wuhang City to find a developed distant relative to defect, thinking of finding an errand in the city to make a living.

Xu Xian, who was originally full of pride and ambition to show his strength in Wuhang City, ran into walls everywhere in the city for dozens of days, and his body was exhausted, and he couldn't even pay for the journey back to his hometown, so he had to beg for nothing to find the distant relatives again, so he got this seat on the big car.

When he goes out, he naturally can't wear a shabby jacket of Daddy Yan in the same building, Wei Changpan was still at the mouth of Rouge Alley, and the clothes he was wearing when he was still at the mouth of Rouge Alley were sewn up by Mother Sun, if he didn't get closer and take a closer look, the fine stitches would not be able to see.

Xu Xian, who boasted that he had seen more of the world two years earlier than Wei Changpan, after looking up and down, he decided that this was a stunned young man who had only left home for a short time, but he was also a warm-hearted person, moved his ass to Wei Changpan's side, and said kindly: "Why don't you wait to get out of the car, let's go together for a while?" ”

Xu Xian saw that this neatly dressed young fellow villager couldn't answer immediately, and said unhappily: "Follow me Xu Xian on the same road, big and small things cover you, and you are a fellow villager, how can it hurt you." ”

After that, he rolled up his sleeves and waved the few pieces of pimple meat on his arm to Wei Changpan, and said smugly: "See, this arm goes down with a punch, not to mention killing a cow, it is inevitable that people will be injured and their bones will be moved, but as people who practice martial arts, we pay attention to being kind to others, and we will not be easy to be rough with people.... Come on, I don't understand these rules of the rivers and lakes, and I don't understand you kid.

For no reason, Wei Changpan said: "I have also heard of these rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Who said that, could it be that there are also fellow Jianghu people who have told you about this?" Xu Xian asked.

Wei Changpan looked at the curious face in front of him and said, "That person is no longer there." ”

"Gone, where have you gone?"

"Won't be coming back. ”

Xu Xian smacked the meaning, and after a while, he thought of something, so he showed an apologetic look and didn't ask any more.
