Twenty-three, into the bandits' den
Lin Xiangdi is an imaginative person who grew up reading "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but he probably couldn't imagine that he would one day end up in this field.
How to describe the scene that catches your eye in the first act?
Stephen Chow performed such a scene in "Journey to the West", several declining earthen houses, mottled and falling off, miserable. The dry grass between the houses grew wildly, and there was a concern that several huge poisonous scorpions would suddenly emerge during this period. Between the houses sat a group of hateful-looking bandits, all of them ragtag, fierce and vicious, bare-chested, rough and arrogant. They are tearing with their teeth
I was pulling at the half-cooked meat, and I couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Lin Xiangdi's eyes was such a fantastic scene.
Once in school, he was a clean and fair-skinned young man, tall, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, although he had tanned a lot in the desert these days, he still couldn't hide his literary temperament. Whether he plays basketball or football, he thinks he's rough and bold enough. But when he saw the scene in front of him, he realized that he was really a dish, a very vegetable.
Seeing this scene made him gasp.
He seemed to know all of a sudden why the Iron Girl had a crush on him.
I've seen a lot of rough and reckless people, and at first glance, this polite person is indeed full of freshness.
While he was standing in the doorway and was frightened, the people who ate meat and drank also stopped their movements and looked at him motionlessly. Wide-eyed staring.
It felt like ...... Sheep into the tiger's mouth.
One of the black men with leopard heads and eyes smiled wickedly and said playfully, "Yo! Little boy, wake up? If it weren't for your stubble, I would have thought that it was a beautiful lady standing there. ”
This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Another man with a scar on his face added: "I need to wear a ring of jewelry, otherwise we can sell it in the kiln, and we can have a good time." ”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Someone else laughed in the middle and said, "Sister, come here, let me see you." ”
Lin Xiangdi pursed his lips tightly.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk back, it's just that there are many of them, and he is afraid that he won't be able to get anything cheap.
At this time, Tie Danfei ran over to save the scene.
Lin Xiangdi finally saw the iron egg clearly at this time.
Sixteen or seventeen, his hair was black and shiny, combed into a thick braid, and hung straight behind him. Her face is not very likable, but her figure is exceptionally good. Although she was wearing a dusty dress that was common with peasant girls, her good figure was fully revealed.
Tie Dan blushed, crossed his waist, and scolded: "Shut your stinky mouth." Do you think he is like you? No shame! This roar is really a bit like Hu Sanniang in "Water Margin". Seriously, Lin Xiangdi is really a little afraid of her.
Scarface said, "Iron Egg Girl, you're too partial, aren't you?" Protecting him like this, do you want him to be your wishful husband? ”
Iron Egg rushed to Scarface with an arrow and was about to hit him.
Scarface snickered all over his face, dodging left and right, but he was still kicked to the ground by the iron egg, and the meat in his hand rolled to the side, and he cried out in pain.
The people around him burst into laughter again. There are about 20 people sitting here eating meat, talking about Lin Xiangdi, and gaging a few jokes to make fun of iron eggs.
Lin Xiangdi saw that Tie Dan's face seemed to be even redder.
The iron egg pounced left and right, causing everyone to hide and laugh, and the scene was extremely lively.
But Lin Xiangdi couldn't laugh at all. He silently looked at these bandit-like people, thinking to himself, what are these people doing? What the hell is this place?
As he was thinking, a middle-aged man came out of the mud house opposite. The figure is thin, and a strand of long hair is about to hang down to his chest. He put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards Lin Xiangdi. He looked different from these people at first glance, Sven Duo.
He approached Lin Xiangdi, clasped his fists, and said, "I don't know what you call it?" ”
Lin Xiangdi bowed slightly, and replied, "Under Lin Xiangdi." Dare to ask the eldest brother's name? ”
"Oh." He gave a long answer, and on his originally expressionless face, he asked with a slight smile and didn't answer: "You're afraid that you're not from Wuciguo, right?" ”
Lin Xiangdi said: "Well, the eldest brother is as wise as a torch, and I am from it." Ganzhou people. ”
The man nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "In Xia Zuobai, people from Youzhou." The other day our boss brought you back, and you had already fainted from the sun. There are no livestock around, there are no people in a radius of hundreds of miles, I don't know why you are there? What about the Far Edge? ”
Lin Xiangdi burst into tears as if he had seen his relatives. He grabbed Brother Zuo and said, "Brother Zuo, you don't know anything." I came out of Cixian City to find someone, I didn't want to, after I came out of Menyi City, I lost my way, I didn't bring water and dry food with me, and I was almost exposed to the wilderness. Thanks to all the heroes who came to the rescue. As he spoke, he clasped his fists and bowed to everyone.
Scarface smiled and said, "Yo, it's crepe." This is a literati like Brother Zuo. Brother Zuo, someone has listened to you talk about your full stomach. ”
After Zuo Bai squinted at Scarface, he turned his head to Lin Xiangdi and said, "This is the border of Wuci Country, adjacent to Jieyang Country, far away from Menyi City." You can do it with your feet! ”
Lin Xiangdi said miserably: "Hey, Brother Zuo, you don't know, I walked in the desert for three days, there was no water and food, and I couldn't even eat a piece of Suosuo grass, who cares about where I go." ”
Zuo Bai patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Come on, eat something." Supplementary points. You haven't eaten for a few days, how can your body eat? ”
As he spoke, Zuo Bai walked among the group, took out a large piece of meat from a large basin on the ground, handed it to Lin Xiangdi, and said, "Eat meat and drink wine." ”
Lin Xiangdi took the piece of meat.
Simple ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
The meat that was grilled without any seasoning had a raw flavor that went straight into his nostrils and stimulated his taste buds.
It's just that he didn't dare to speak, he looked at this group of people with fierce and evil faces, and he was really worried that this would be human flesh? He had seen a lot of terrorists who ate human flesh in his novels.
Seeing that Lin Xiangdi was a little hesitant, the corner of Zuo Bai's mouth raised an imperceptible smile and said, "Eat, this is camel meat." The other day, we found a dead camel in the desert, dragged it back, roasted and eaten. ”
As long as it wasn't human flesh, Lin Xiangdi felt much more relieved, so he tore off a small piece with his hand and put it in his mouth to taste it first. The taste is good, but the meat is very old, and he chews hard.
Seeing him bite the beef comically, everyone laughed. Among them, the one who laughed the most was the black man with a leopard's head and eyes. He almost rolled back in laughter.
Zuo Bai also smiled, but that smile was full of tolerance and understanding.
Iron Egg stood in the middle of the crowd and smiled. The smile was very subtle and a little embarrassed. She lowered her head, but as if she couldn't help it, she peeked in.
A piece of meat that is not big, but Lin Xiangdi fought for half an hour before he got it. This group of men stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
When he finally swallowed the last bite of meat. Zuo Bai immediately lifted two large porcelain bowls, handed one to Lin Xiangdi, and said, "Come, let's go!" ”
Lin Xiangdi swallowed hard and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
After drinking a large bowl of wine, Lin Xiangdi followed Zuo Bai's example, raised the bowl upside down, and signaled that he had drunk it dry.
Everyone present also raised their glasses one after another, shouting loudly and in a low voice: "Cheers." ”
Zuo Bai laughed, some wrinkles formed at the corners of his eyes, and he said, "Welcome, Lin Xiangdi." ”
Lin Xiangdi can be regarded as completely joining this "big family".
Tie Dan was the happiest of these people, and she brought two large wine jars with her bare hands and beckoned her brothers to eat and drink. His eyes still glanced at Lin Xiangdi from time to time.
Lin Xiangdi had also been invited by everyone at this moment to sit among them.
After a few rounds of drinking, Lin Xiangdi boldly asked, "Brother Zuo, what do you do for a living?" ”
Before Zuo Bai could answer, Scarface grabbed Bai and said, "We are heroes in the green forest." ”
The black man said: "What a green forest hero, we are a desert hero." ”
Hero? In fact, it's a bandit who robs a house? Isn't this all in TV dramas? A gang of horse bandits, coming at a gallop, went back with a full load.
Zuo Bai stopped the black man and said, "Shut up." I'll say. In fact, we are all poor people who have been displaced by the war, without families, without land, and wandering around. Fortunately, there is a benevolent brother who has established such an out-of-this-world place for us to rest and stay here. ”
After a pause, he continued: "We don't rob the common people, we rob some Persians. Then go to Jieyang Kingdom to exchange for some wine and meat. No human life. ”
It's just a grandiose sound.
Bandits are bandits, and do you think that you have a way to steal?
Lin Xiangdi nodded silently.
Zuo Bai is the best at looking at people's eyes. He immediately asked: "Brother Lin, do you think we are gangsters as soon as you hear that we are bandits who rob houses and houses?" ”
Lin Xiangdi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”
Zuo Bai looked around at the brothers around him, sighed and said, "But as long as you can live a stable life, who wants to harm others? ”
Lin Xiangdi felt that this topic was a bit deep, so he changed the topic and asked, "Who are you talking about who built this out-of-this-world place?" ”
Tie Dan was dangling next to Lin Xiangdi at the moment, seemingly beckoning everyone to eat and drink, but in fact, his ears had been catching Lin Xiangdi's words.
Hearing Lin Xiangdi ask this, she immediately turned around and said, "It's my dad." Old iron. ”
Lin Xiangdi frowned and asked, "Is that the one who came in and saw me a few times?" That's your dad? ”
Tie Dan said, "Yes." That's him. He is the one who brought you back. ”
Lin Xiangdi immediately asked, "What about others?" I want to thank you in person. ”
Zuo Bai said: "He went out with a few brothers this morning, and he will come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." When he comes back, you can thank him in person. ”
