Chapter 147: True and False Masters (4)
"You profiteer, you originally set up a trick to ask me to call Hua to protect your two precious daughters to go to Yunnan, and probably protect these two boys too!"
"Do you promise? If you don't, you'll just stay on the ship forever and never go ashore. ”
"Well, well, it's much better than living on a ship. You cunning petty trader, one day I'll settle accounts with you. ”
Shang Liang smiled and patted Lao Zhaohua: "Don't scare me." I'm a small businessman running errands. I'm the most timid!"
"Are you a coward? How dare you? And don't you dare to play tricks on me?"
The leopard stepped forward, bowed and said, "Grandpa, thank you in advance, leopard!"
Bao'er also stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Elder, Bao'er thank you for being old!"
"Don't thank me," said the old beggar, looking up.
"I was called to be someone else's big shot. Why thank me, sarcastic me?"
The leopard said, "Grandpa, that's not what I meant. ”
"Then why are you thanking me?"
Cuicui said, "He thanked you for your protection along the way!"
Shang Liang said, "Okay, I'll apologize to you too! Can I drink with you now?"
"Oh! ”
Leopard and Bud said, "Then let's have a few bowls with Grandpa." ”
Qingqing said to Cuicui: "Look, it's good now! When there are more drunken people, the boat smells of wine." ”
Cuicui asked, "Sister Qing, do you want to forbid them to drink only one bowl?"
Shang Liang hurriedly said, "Don't fool around. It's not easy for me to lower the atmosphere. There is only one bowl. Aren't you afraid that it will jump up and go?"
Qingqing said: "Cuicui, you forgot. Not to mention that we can't stop them from drinking, and I'm afraid Mom can't stop them either. Let's go a little further. ”
Cuicui said, "Okay, when we get to Chongqing, we'll go tell Mom!" and then left with Qingqing.
Lao Zhaohua looked at Shang Liang and said, "Okay! I've been trying to find a way to get revenge on you." ”
Shang Liang was a little scared: "Hey, how are you going to tie it with me?"
"I'm yelling right now, so you're not ready?
The old beggar said to Wang Xianghu, "And you, huh, is it notarized?"
Wang Xianghu was at a loss: "Senior, what's the matter with me?"
"You set sail for the ship. ”
"Okay!" Wang Xianghu said to Hou Fang: "Brother Hou, you are responsible for driving and driving the boat. I was afraid that I would be judged by the old man. No wonder some people say that three generations do not work as doctors, do not work as mediators, and do not work as matchmakers. As a notary, I seem to be in some trouble. ”
The Hou Fang and Jiang brothers walked out of the cabin with a smile, lifted the anchor, pulled the gangplank, threw the boat off the riverbank, and then turned the bow of the ship and sailed towards Chongqing.
When the boat arrived at the river, the old man called Hualai and asked Wang Xianghu, "Why don't you accompany me to drink?"
"Accompany! How dare I not accompany you!"
"Sit down, we each drink three bowls before talking. Shang Liang and the others looked at each other.
Wang Xianghu couldn't help but say, "I shouldn't have dragged you to recognize them, but let you be deceived by Brother Shang." ”
"So easy?"
"Me, what do I have?"
"Nothing?"
Didn't you collude with profiteers to set this trap and let me fall into it myself?"
Wang Xianghu smiled and said, "Senior, this is really wronged! How can I do this to you? So I was taken advantage of by Brother Shang!"
"Two young ones were taken advantage of by small businessmen, and maybe I always believed in them. ”
"It seems that even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won't be able to clean it up!"
"Tell me honestly, how much silver did you steal from the petty traders?"
"Old-timers, if you become too old in the county, then I really don't know how many people have died unjustly. ”
Leopard said, "Grandpa, this really has nothing to do with Uncle Wang. He was just curious and wanted to know how we were. ”
"It's none of his business, whose business? will the constant screaming disturb me?"
The leopard said in his heart: Of course it's your business! Who told you to bet with Uncle Shang? He didn't dare to say it, and shouted even more angrily, he said, "Grandpa, that's my business!"
"It's none of your business, are you a leopard or a bud?"
The leopard was stunned: "Grandpa, did you recognize us just now?"
"Yes, yes!"
"He's a leopard, isn't he?"
The leopard said, "Grandpa, you have recognized the wrong person!"
"Can you say I'm wrong?"
The old man's name was Shang Liang and he asked, "Tell me, did I admit my mistake?"
Shang Liang was very unhappy when he heard this, because when he sat down to drink, Leopard and Bao'er got lost, and he couldn't tell who was who.
Is he right when he says leopards and buds?
If something goes wrong, don't always call it a trap?
He couldn't help but hesitate, looking at the leopard and the bud.
Lao Zhaohua asked, "Huh, why don't you answer?"
He asked Wang Xianghu: "Do you think I have admitted my mistake?"
Wang Xianghu said: "Of course you won't admit your mistake!"
"How do you know that I can't admit that I'm wrong? Have you asked them? Have you seen them admit that they are leopards or young masters? Have you seen them?"
"It's—but it didn't!"
"What do you do, a notary, to judge who wins without listening to them?"
Wang Xianghu had no choice but to say: "I don't know if it's or not, but I believe in your old talent." ”
The old man asked Shang Liang: "Do business, you say!"
Shang Liang smiled and said, "Who are you talking about the little leopard brother?"
Lao Zhaohua reached out and grabbed the bud: "I always said that he was a leopard brother just now." ”
Shang Liang thought to himself: It's terrible! I'm the one who really fell for it! In my heart, although I know that the old man is not holding a leopard in his hand, I still say that he is wrong! Didn't he win?
Did the old beggar lose?
It's not wrong to say that Lao Zhaohua and Wang Xianghu will inevitably take off his clothes to check, that is also Lao Zhaohua lost, he won!
If the old man does not recognize the person for the first time, what is the basis?
Because now it's impossible to figure out who's who.
Lao Zhaohua was very surprised, and did not ask the leopard and the bud, nor did he go to see if they were. I rejoiced too soon! Let that old man drill a loophole.
He smiled: "It's always called, we're just playing, don't take it seriously." ”
Lao Zhaohua deliberately didn't know: "What did you say? Aren't you serious? You vaguely admit that you lost and I won? Do you want me to stay on this ship forever?"
"No, no, you can go whenever you like. ”
"Do you think I'm wrong, I'm not good at anything?"
"No, no! I didn't say that. ”
"That's what I always called Hua Win?"
"Good, good. I'm sure you won. No wonder you're so old. Looks like I can't fight you!"
"Oh! ”
"But I still hope that you can get these children to the Tibetan Mountains safely, so that there will be no accidents on the way. ”
"And what about your two precious daughters, why do you want to escort me?"
"How can they match your ancient skill and wisdom? As soon as you come up, they will run away. ”
"Don't let me wear your top hat. I can't stand it anymore. ”
"No, no, I have to ask you for help forever this time, and I will be grateful to you later. ”
"Then why are you teasing me for being old and screaming?"
Shang Liang smiled: "Old-timers, the so-called prosperity of the country naturally can't change, I run a business, sometimes have fun, there is a lack of nearly two, don't be surprised!"
Elder Mo smiled: "You're not inviting yourself, are you? ”
"Yes, yes! I'll be there for you. ”
Then they all laughed and sat down to drink.
When the ship approached Chongqing, Shang Liang said to Elder Mo, "Please take care of these two Guanyin soldiers below!"
Wang Xianghu said, "Don't say that. It is my duty to send off guests, mainly to send off Elder Mo. ”
Elder Mo said: "Oh! On the shore, I always call Hua a good person, and I work the surface and underwater, how can I always call Hua not as good as you, you don't want to put the responsibility on me, it's mainly you." ”
Cuicui said, "Dad, are you going to leave us?"
"If I don't leave, aren't you afraid that my ears will fall off?"
"What do you mean, Dad, we're not nagging you!"
"No, no, I mean, I'm not going back to your mother. If she did, my ears would have grown an inch!"
Everyone laughed.
Cuicui said, "Dad, why are you laughing and making trouble?"
"No, no, I'm not kidding. It would be even better if you could meet your mom one day. Leave some love in my ears. ”
Qingqing also said: "Dad, don't be joking! The daughter hopes that her father won't drink too much when he is alone!"
"What, doesn't you drink too much alone? Drink too much in front of your mother? Then I won't drink!"
Qingqing stomped her foot and said, "Dad! she's worried about you." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to drink too much. ”
Shang Liang said that without waiting for the ship to land, he jumped on the water and left with the phantom.
Elder Mo couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome light skill!"
The phantom of the Shanxi Longmen Snow Clan is a real one-step Xuanling.
Qingqing said: "Dad is real, he doesn't indulge any occasion, he speaks, and he is not serious at all." ”
Leopard said: "Uncle Shang is so easy-going, but he is willing to get close to him. ”
Bao'er said, "Yes, this kind of character, who knew that he was a master of Xuanling? I think it is very good for the enemy." ”
Cuicui said: "Do you want to follow his example and deceive people in the future?"
The leopard smiled and said, "If only I could learn from him! We are just deceiving our enemies. ”
But Bao'er said, "What's wrong with being like him? It's a pity that I can't do such good martial arts." I can't get the hang of it. ”
Cuicui said, "Don't you still have to learn? Do you like to play tricks on people?" She said to Leopard, "And you, knowing that we are daughters, and deliberately pretending to be confused, are you also playing tricks on me and my sister?"
The leopard and the bud looked at each other and smiled.
It is amazing how similar the faces and mannerisms of these two men are, even in thought and emotion;
In fact, their experiences over the past two years have been pretty much the same.
Both of them fell off the cliff and escaped with their lives, both were hit by black arrows, and both left the place where they grew up.
The difference is that the leopard fell off the cliff before he came out of the mountain, while the bud fell after he came down the mountain.
Leopard Er fled, in order to save the girl, under the influence of Duan Lili left, unfortunately, Bao'er fled in order to escape a girl's marriage.
They seem to have telepathy.
After leaving the Jialing River, along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, through Luzhou, through Yibin, into the Jinsha River.
Probably the troubled days of the leopard and the bud are over, and there are no accidents on this waterway, and there are no martial artists.
The Jinsha River, the source of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is not only in the Central Plains, but also one of the deepest and narrowest canyons in the world.
Fortunately, Wang Xianghu and others are very good at sailing, and ordinary ships are not afraid to sail on the Jinsha River.
Seeing that the water in the canyon was so steep, the leopard asked anxiously: "Uncle Wang, can you do it, if not, we will go ashore by land." ”
Wang Xianghu said with a smile: "Xiaoxia, don't worry, although the Jinsha River is dangerous, it is not as good as the Minjiang River." The Minjiang River flows in the snow-capped mountains and valleys, and it is known for its natural dangers, so am I swimming in the same boat? I can't see this Jinsha River!"
"That's a hard job, uncle!"
The boat and the water are the business of our boatmen, and if you get used to it, it will not be difficult.
"Uncle," Budle asked, "where do we land?"
Go ashore in a small town called Jinjiang in the Yichuan area, and from there to Cangshan Point is the closest!
Elder Mo asked, "Don't you go to Tiger Leaping Gorge?" I heard that Tiger Leaping Gorge can be very interesting! The two mountains are only a few feet apart, and the tiger jumped over. I want to jump down and see. ”
Wang Xianghu smiled and said, "I advise you not to take this risk. ”
"What? Do you dare to bully me into jumping over?"
"The old name is Hua, the peaks on both sides are very risky, in the lower Baizhang Canyon, the water is fast, and I don't have the ability to sail the way. In addition, the boat goes to Tiger Leaping Gorge, far away from Yunnan Cangshan Mountain. ”
"So you're scared to death, are you scared to go?"
"Yes, yes, I do fear death. If you do, I dare not accompany you. ”
Indeed, if you start from Jinjiang Town and go further north along this river, you will cross the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
In that place, wooden boats could not sail at all;
It is possible to sail only on a raft, and only under the current, not against the current.
Elder Mo said, "Oh, you are so afraid of death. I've always relied on you to take me to Tiger Leaping Gorge. ”
The leopard asked, "Do you really want to go to Tiger Leaping Gorge?"
"You're not going to go with me, are you?"
"I'll go with you, grandpa!"
Cuicui shouted: "Aren't you going back to Zangdian Mountain? What are you doing in Tiger Leaping Gorge?"
Qingqing looked at Elder Mo with pleading eyes and said, "Tiger Leaping Gorge is nothing but a deep valley. It is very inhospitable and rarely inhabited. What's interesting to watch?"
Elder Mo understood: "Yes, yes! there is nothing interesting to see in Tiger Leaping Gorge. When I was hungry, I begged for food. Besides, Senior Brother Wang said it so badly, in fact, I have always been afraid of death. Oh my God, I'm not going! Let's go to Jinsuo Island in Erhai Lake, Dali. It's going to be more fun!"
Cuicui said: "I don't want to go anywhere, I'll go back to the Tibetan Mountain." ”
Elder Mo winked at the leopard: "Look, look, there is such a small Guanyin, we don't want to go anywhere!"
Bao'er said, "Grandpa, when you go to Zangdian Mountain, can I accompany you anywhere?"
"My name is Huahui Mobei, will you accompany me?"
Qingqing said, "Elder, why don't you ignore Master and your wife, and only care about yourself?"
Elder Mo hurriedly said to Bao'er: "Don't be like this! I'm just playing, don't take it seriously! Actually, Dali is so good, I don't want to go anywhere!"
After sailing on the Jinsha River for several days, he finally arrived at Jinjiang Town in Yichuan Region.
Wang Xianghu said: "You go ashore from the south bank, go directly to the south, and in less than a day, you can reach Binchuan City." Stay there for one night, and the next day you can go to the top of the Tibetan Mountain. ”
Leopard and Bao'er said, "Uncle Wang, aren't you going with us?"
Wang Xianghu said: "Thank you very much! I have the opportunity to go up to the Tibetan Mountain to visit the Tibetan Dian Sect and the two little heroes. ”
The leopard asked, "Where can I find my uncle when I see my uncle in the future?"
Wang Xianghu seemed a little embarrassed and said: "We go with the flow, there is no certain place." ”
Therefore, if Xiaoxia needs our services in the future, come to us at a Guangsheng pharmacy in Yibin City!
We often carry goods for him to walk around Chengdu and Chongqing.
This Guangsheng pharmacy is our regular customer, he will know where we went, or Xiaoxia left a message for them, and we will also come to Xiaoxia!"
In the end, they broke up and went straight to Zhicang Mountain.
Before Elder Mo had taken two steps, he suddenly sat down and said, "Go on." I told Hua not to go with you.
Leopard, Bud, Qingqing, and Cuicui were all taken aback.
Leopard asked, "Senior, why don't you come with us?"
"Is there anything we have offended you?" asked Bud.
Elder Mo replied, "You have not offended me. ”
Qingqing asked, "Why don't you come with us?"
"I'm thinking about it. My previous life was too important to be with you. ”
All four were terrified.
Cuicui asked, "Are you afraid of hitting the black arrow?"
"Why am I so afraid of him?"
"Then why don't you come with us?"
"Isn't it strange that I'm walking with you four dolls?"
Bud said, "What now? What is that?"
"You're not afraid. I'm scared. If there were smart people, they wouldn't suspect that I was a human trafficker, would they?
Qingqing said: "Hey, your old man is really, what are you afraid of, afraid of this!"
The leopard said, "Grandpa, have you really seen it, don't we know?"
Elder Mo said, "The official character has two mouths. Did they say anything else? Little brother, I'm afraid of what happened to you in Jiading. Also, let them go to the governor's palace, and instead of judging me, they threw me into a cell under the old name. What should I do?"
Cuicui smiled: "Isn't that better? you don't have to beg for food, there are ready-made meals to eat!"
"I always told Huaning to starve to death outside. ”
The leopard asked, "Grandpa, what do you want?"
"You go together, I'll go alone. ”
Cuicui said, "Okay! If something happens to the four of us on the road. I know you told my father that. ”
Elder Mo once heard Cuicui say that he was retreating, and even threatened to solve the affair, how to explain it himself, and then said with a grin: "I always like to retreat, and I don't want to be in a prison room. ”
After saying that, he really put down the leopard, bud, green, and cuicui.
He smiled and walked away, and after a while he was gone.
Cuicui stomped her feet and said, "This old man is called Hua, why don't you ignore us and go by yourself?"
Leopard said, "He may have something to do, so he can go first." ”
"Why didn't he speak?"
Qingqing said: "It's okay, Cui Mei! He's gone, it's useless to complain." Let's go!"
A group of four of them, along this road, walked south towards Binchuan County.
In less than an hour, they will be able to demonstrate their light skills.
There are many pedestrians on the road, because there is a Jizu Mountain in the west, also known as Jiuqu Rock, the mountain is majestic and magnificent, and it is a famous Buddhist resort in Dali.
Many devout men and women go to worship the Buddha every day.
On the street every ten miles or so, there are some tea pavilions, porridge sheds, and restaurants, which are convenient for pedestrians to sit down and eat.
If he could do it easily, it would surprise the whole world.
Secondly, I am afraid of attracting the attention of the Xuanling people.
So they only walk on the main road like ordinary people.
By the time they arrived in Binchuan County, it was already getting dark.
As they slept at the Panda Inn, they saw a magnificent carriage speeding from the other side of the street.
It was piloted by a young girl dressed in court clothes.
Behind the carriage were two other girls, dressed in sturdy clothes and holding long swords in their hands, on two white horses.
Behind the girl on the horse, there were four men with swords.
The rich carriage jolted violently, making sharp turns in both directions.
