Chapter 2 Three or Two Friends
The onlookers all dispersed at once, and some people looked at Chen Lian with disdain, and the northerner probably didn't react for a while, so he was stunned for a moment, shook his head and left.
Jiang Yu'er and Miki hurriedly ran over to see if Chen Lian was okay, they helped the person up and sat down, Chen Lian stretched out his hand to rub his head, and shouted "Pain-pain---- pain" with grinning teeth on his face.
Jiang Yu'er saw that Chen Lian was fine, and said with a smile, "It's okay, Chen Lian, you can be regarded as a master now, although no one has made a complete move, but you are also considered to have entered the rivers and lakes."
Chen Lian was in pain, and his eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, "Jiang Yu'er, do you also think that person is a master, let me tell you, I knew the moment I flew over just now, I must have met a master", he didn't rub his head as he spoke, grabbed the two of them and was about to stand up to find someone, but he didn't see him downstairs and upstairs, Chen Lian regretfully picked up the sword on the ground, and handsomely inserted it back into the scabbard, "It's okay, Jianghu people, I will definitely meet again, and I will ask him for advice when the time comes."
Jiang Yu'er and Miki looked at each other and smiled, "This kid can really find steps for himself."
Chen Lian tidied up his clothes, straightened his small crown again, turned back to Jiang Yu'er and Miki and said, "Let's go, I invite you to drink to celebrate my Chen Lian's official entry into the rivers and lakes today", and walked towards the wine table next to him, "Xiao Er, hurry up and serve me wine and food." Jiang Yu'er hugged Miki's neck and followed, and the two looked at each other and smiled, "Let's have a good meal again today."
These two are Jiang Yu'er's two good brothers in Qingshui County, three years ago, Jiang Yu'er met Miki when he was stealing pig's trotters at a banquet at a foreign member's house, Miki was only ten years old at the time, and he was stealing wine under the wine table, and his little face was red from drinking, and he almost fell drunk there, or Jiang Yu'er walked away. A year ago, Jiang Yu'er and Miki met Chen Lian when they were watching people duel, and among the onlookers, the three of them were the most heckling, and in the end, they forced the winning side in the duel to fight together, and the three of them drank wine with blue noses and swollen faces, and they were considered brothers.
Sanmu is actually just a nickname, his real name is Lin Sen, his family is a farmer, his father supplies firewood and charcoal to the rich people in the county, when Lin Sen was born, his family has been making a wooden livelihood for many years, Lin Sen's father called a fortune teller in the town to name him, and the fortune teller knew the situation of their family and simply gave the name Lin Sen, all wood. When Jiang Yu'er first met Lin Sen, she scolded the fortune teller with a smile, saying that he was too bad, and this must not allow Lin Sen's family to sell firewood for generations. Lin Sen, who originally thought that the name had depth, realized this problem, and one night sneaked to the fortune teller's place to live, and set fire to someone's house, but fortunately, the rescue was timely and there was no big loss. Later, Jiang Yu'er simply called Lin Sen Sanmu, at first Lin Sen had to resist, but slowly he could only acquiesce, because Chen Lian also called it so later.
Chen Lian's original name was Chen Dong, the family was quite solid in the early years, and it was passed on to his father's generation, because he didn't know how to operate, the originally wealthy family now only left a very large courtyard and more than a dozen acres of land, and barely lived a young master life with a few servants by renting out part of the yard and land rent. Chen's father felt that the decline of the family was that there was no scholar, so he named his son Chen Dong, hoping that he could become a pillar of talent in the future, Chen Dong has not been able to write his name proficiently when he was studying, and he always does not remember how to write the word Dong, and often writes his name as Chen Lian, and over time, his classmates and gentlemen in the private school call him Chen Lian. Chen Lian, who grew up, didn't like to read more and more, but liked to dance with knives and swords, and looked for the drama books of the heroes everywhere to read, and the angry father Chen always blew his beard and stared. Now sixteen-year-old Chen Lian is looking for someone everywhere to learn art, the master of the dart bureau in the town, the fast catcher in the yamen, and the passing saber rangers have all been entangled by him, and he has not learned any martial arts for a few years, but he is still full of energy, practicing his patchwork moves every day. It is common to see a young man dressed as a scholar by the Qingshui Lake holding a sword and making strange movements.
This morning, Chen Lian practiced martial arts by the lake as usual, and when he was finished going home with a sword, when he passed by Chunxiang Building, he saw a person who was about to force the girl in the building to go out. It stands to reason that it is normal for the girls in the Qinglou to go out of the building to pick up customers, but it is just past the end of the year, and it is not the time for the girls to pick up customers, and there are basically just some diners in the building, and some girls have not gotten up yet. So the girl who was forcibly pulled was a little embarrassed.
This scene happened to be seen by Chen Lian, and when the girl was about to cry, Chen Lian rushed up and grabbed the northerner: "You barbarian, why are you so rude, you are thinking about this absurd thing at this time, it is simply immoral", and he was about to push the man away, and the man saw Chen Lian coming up angrily, so he removed his scimitar and put it in front of Chen Lian, and said in a jerky Chinese dialect, "Regardless of your business, go away, our caravan invites this girl to go, and the brothers of the grassland want to listen to the Yale of the Han people, don't stop me." After saying that, he was going to pull the girl who was hugging the door frame with tears on her face. Chen Lian was even more angry, "If you want to listen to Yale, come to the building at night to listen to it, what kind of physiness is it to forcibly take away the girl in broad daylight!" The girl also cried at this time and said, "Childe saved me, my mother just went out to run errands, and the person in charge of the building doesn't know where it is." "Seeing that something is happening here, there are more and more people who gather to see the excitement. Chen Lian came up with enthusiasm, "Don't be afraid, girl, I see that this barbarian dares to take you away, saying that he put the sword in front of the man, the northerner looked at the sword in Chen Lian's hand and laughed, "If I must take this girl away, what can you do?" Chen Lian's face turned red, and his heart was crossed, "I want to duel with you." ”
In recent years, duels have prevailed in the Pei Dynasty, whether it is a literati or a martial artist, there is something that cannot be solved at all, it is often dealt with through a duel, one person is not good, two people, in short, it is to fight until one side admits defeat, fortunately, most of such duels will not kill people, at most they will break their arms and legs. If you really want to decide life and death, you must sign a life and death certificate, and someone from the government will come forward to witness it.
This businessman from the north also knew that the Han people had been prevalent in duel fighting in recent years, and seeing that Chen Lian had a sword in his hand, he also wanted to appreciate it, so he nodded and agreed.
What happened later was what Jiang Yu'er saw, but Chen Lian duel with someone for the first time, he was nervous and excited, the two stood opposite each other in the hall, but Chen Lian didn't move until Jiang Yu'er and they arrived.
This meal lasted for two hours, and Chen Lian danced excitedly, looking forward to his career after officially stepping into the rivers and lakes. In the middle building, my mother came over to thank him, praised him for his chivalrous heart, and he would definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future, and gave a table of wine and food before leaving. Chen Lian's self-confidence has skyrocketed, "Two brothers, you will follow as brothers in the future, and when I learn advanced martial arts, I will take you to leave Qingshui County and go to the rivers and lakes together, and there will be a legend in the martial arts in the future."
Jiang Yu'er and Miki nodded while frantically stuffing food into their mouths, the two looked at each other and smiled from time to time, and Jiang Yu'er even asked Xiao Er to wrap a whole roast chicken with lotus leaves, thinking that he would go back and open meat for Lao Wangtou.
When they were full of wine and food, the three of them were all red and drunk, and Chen Lian was also too excited, squinting his eyes slightly and shaking his head, with a smile on his mouth.
Jiang Yu'er stood up, carrying a bottle of wine in one hand and a lotus leaf bag, "I have to go, the old king is still waiting for me to bring food back", and patted Miki, "Hey, Miki, wake up, go back."
Chen Lian woke up from his drunken longing, "I also want to go back and talk to my father, he is always not optimistic about me, and this time I want him to have a long face." Saying that, he struggled to get up.
Miki is the youngest of the three, and when he is drunk, he lies on the table, Jiang Yu'er shook for a long time to wake people up, and the three of them staggered and helped each other out of Chunxiang Building.
