The dinner was sumptuous, with a table full of chicken, duck and fish. The lily fairy smiled: "Everyone, we will leave early tomorrow morning, but today it is very coincidental, it is the twenty-ninth day of the first month, Fuzhou is called the 'Nine Porridges' in Fuzhou, and the daughters who have been married will cook the 'Nine Porridge' on the twenty-ninth day of the first month, and send them back to their parents' home early in the morning to honor their parents......

"However, here in Shaxian County, it is still called 'Nine Festivals'. The nine-meter porridge that everyone eats in the morning is mixed and boiled with nine kinds of rice, japonica rice, glutinous rice, peanuts, beans, red dates, almonds, sugar, etc., these chickens, ducks and fish are not specially prepared, but local customs, nine-meter porridge is also known as poor nine, eat poor nine in the morning, and must eat well in the evening, indicating that the poor are poor first and then rich. ”

Speaking of this, the lily fairy glanced at Wang Hou: "Tonight is the king gang master again, come!" Everyone must give face, eat with an open stomach, and only after eating and drinking enough will they be poor first and then rich. Everyone applauded, and the second Yu Di even stood up with the wine cup and said in a rough voice: "The Wang gang master is too polite, I wish you a rich year!" ”

Everyone laughed and drank each other's cups. Li Zhixian laughed softly: "Fairy, no matter how gracious you are, some people will sweat without oil." Wang Hou asked, "Elder Li, who will sweat?" Liu Hanyan suddenly said: "It's broken, it's broken!" Zhou Qingzhu asked, "Sister Yan, what's broken?" ”

Liu Hanyan said: "One thing I said last night, today I only cared about enjoying the mountains and rivers, and I forgot to ask!" Li Zhixian grinned and said, "Do you want to ask Mo Qixia if he is willing to pay a high price to buy a beautiful woman?" "That's right, Sister Li, why didn't you remind me earlier, it just so happened that there was any married daughter who wanted to eat porridge or something today...... No, I'll ask him now. ”

The lily fairy hurriedly said: "Elder Yan, there are four beauties here, aren't you afraid that Mo Qixia will buy them all at a high price?" "Who's talking about me?" The lily fairy turned around and saw Mo Gong standing behind him. The six people at Wang Hou's table were not far from the seven sons of Wudang and the Yang gang leader, and the lily fairy had his back to the other tables, so he didn't know that Mo Gong came over.

Mo Gong held the wine cup with a sincere face: "Fairy, I salute you for this bowl of wine, thank you for saving your life!" The lily fairy looked a little uncomfortable, and stood up with the cup: "Mo Qixia is polite, what ......" drank the wine in the cup. Mo Gong saluted Wang Hou and the others one by one before returning to his table.

Wang Hou also held the wine cup and said to the Lily Fairy in Mo Gong's tone: "Fairy, I respect you for this bowl of wine, thank you for spending money on my behalf!" Liu Hanyan and the four of them all giggled. The lily fairy smiled: "The main thing to help is that you are shy in your pocket, you might as well leave Elder Yan behind, I will buy it at a high price." ”

Zhou Qingzhu blurted out: "I will go wherever Sister Yan goes." It even made Lee Ji-hyun and Kim Min-hui laugh out loud. Wang Hou said to the lily fairy: "Buy one get one free, it has nothing to do with me, if it is ......" Liu Hanyan snorted, and the chopsticks in his hand knocked on his hat, so frightened that Wang Hou swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Shaxian County is one hundred and fifty miles away from Youxi, the next county seat, and most of them are mountain roads, which are tortuous and difficult to walk. Everyone was afraid of delays on the road, so everyone got up early on the second day, and after breakfast, Wang Hou was ready to settle the bill, but the female shopkeeper didn't accept it, and said that the palace master confessed that he was not allowed to collect money. When Wang Hou turned back to find the Lily Fairy, she had already entered the carriage with Liu Hanyan, Zhou Qingzhu, Li Zhixian, and Jin Minhui.

The convoy went out of the city to the south, and the road was mostly hilly and low to medium mountains, and the convoy walked very slowly. Youxi is the largest county in Fujian, there are "eight mountains, one water and one field" said, along the way dense forests and bamboos, mountain peaks stand in a forest, clouds and mist cover, although the scenery is beautiful, but if you ride alone in the meantime, it is really a little chilly.

In the afternoon, the convoy was still walking in the mountains, Liu Hanyan opened the side window of the carriage and said strangely: "Hey, what kind of bamboo is this?" Zhou Qingzhu, Jin Minhui, and Li Zhixian also leaned over to look outside, only to see that the bamboo outside the carriage was not verdant, but pure purple, with black spots on the straight bamboo poles, and the bamboo leaves lined with graceful and graceful bamboo forests.

The lily fairy smiled: "This is purple bamboo, it will be purple and black when it grows up, because it is beautiful, and the people here like to make purple bamboo into bonsai, or plant it in their own yard for ornamentation." Zizhu is very tough, so in addition to watching and making flutes, it can also make fishing rods, walking sticks, and desk furniture. ”

Zhou Qingzhu's eyes kept staring outside: "My master likes bamboo, so I have the word 'bamboo' in my name, this purple bamboo is the first time I have seen it, it is really beautiful." Liu Hanyan smiled and said, "Sister Azhu, since you like it, will we call you 'Zhou Zizhu' that time?" ”

Zhou Qingzhu sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that we still have to hurry, otherwise we will definitely be in a much better mood to watch and play in the purple bamboo forest, it is best to dig some bamboo shoots, let's make it into a bonsai." Jin Minhui also became interested: "Then let's go down now, let the convoy go first, and we will catch up later, without delay." Liu Hanyan said "Okay, okay", and the three of them were about to jump off the carriage, but at this time, the convoy slowly stopped.

Li Zhixian looked out from the front curtain of the car, everyone in front of the Poyang Gang stopped, the seventh son of Wudang restrained the horse, the second Yu Di, the fourth Zhang Tai, and the seventh Mo Gong had already jumped off the horse and stepped forward to inspect the situation. Wang Hou had been riding a horse and following the carriage, and at this time the probe asked, "I don't know what happened ahead, fairy, do you want to go and see?" ”

The lily fairy was surprised: "Although the road here is not too wide, it will not be difficult to pass, there are so many of us, dare someone rob it?" "Who knows, since entering Fujian, either the road is difficult to walk, or the face is ugly, maybe you have really encountered a robbery."

After listening to Wang Hou's words, the lily fairy said to everyone in the car: "It's that you are clamoring to get out of the car to dig up some purple bamboo shoots, the convoy has been stopped, you can only look at the edge of the forest, you can't enter the bamboo forest, there are many poisonous snakes in it, but be careful...... I'll go to the front with the helper. ”

Wang Hou had already dismounted, and the two walked forward. As soon as they were halfway through, Gang Leader Yang and Wudang turned around and walked towards this side, and the Lily Fairy asked, "Gang Leader Yang, why did the convoy stop?" What's going on up ahead? "Fairy, the people from the Fuzhou Salt Gang blocked the road in front, and they said that they were rounding up, and they hope that we will take care of it."

"Fuzhou Salt Gang?" Lily Fairy's face sank, she knew that the Salt Gang was the big gang in the world, Fuzhou was near the sea, and the Salt Gang had set up a rudder in Fuzhou for hundreds of years, and there were many people. Tianxiang Palace has no grievances with them, so naturally they will not fall out with each other because of this trivial matter, but it is strange that this place is nearly three hundred miles away from Fuzhou, and the people of the Salt Gang have come all the way to this mountain to catch something?

Yu Erxia said to Song Tian: "Senior brother, the other party has good words and begging each other, and we don't have anything to say, just rest here for a while, and when their things are done, let's set off again." Song Tian nodded and jumped off the horse, and the others dismounted one after another to rest.

Wang Hou secretly wondered: Fuzhou Salt Gang? I don't know what they were rounding up, but what enemy fled to the mountains? Since he met, he also stepped forward to greet the face of the Li gang leader and the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and maybe he could help, so he said: "Heroes, fairies, I'll go and take a look." ”

Song Tianying said: "Okay, Wang Gang Master be careful!" The lily fairy didn't know the relationship between him and the Salt Gang, and thought that he wanted to go to see the excitement, but the Salt Gang couldn't be easily provoked, this went to the beach, Fuzhou was their territory, and a word wrong would cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Helper, you are not familiar with the terrain, I will accompany you." ”

The two walked out of the road, and saw more than a dozen people standing on the road in front of them, all in their twenties and thirties, in a brocade robe, each with a knife out of the sheath, holding it in their hands, looking nervously around, looking very cautious. At this time, seeing a man and a beautiful woman wearing a hat, one of them was about thirty years old, not tall but very strong, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said softly: "Please, we are the rudder of the Salt Gang Fuzhou Branch, and we are doing errands, please wait." ”

The lily fairy snorted, she didn't know what to say, she just accompanied Wang Hou over. Wang Hou returned the salute with his fists, took out a round jade from his arms, one side was blue, the other side was white, and handed it to the man. The man took it and looked at it carefully for a long time, and landed on one knee: "Meet the envoy of the helper in Su Shan, the master of the Helm Hall in Xiafuzhou." ”

More than a dozen people standing behind Su Shan saw the hall master kneeling, calling him "the envoy of the helper", and they were all slightly stunned and bowed. Wang Hou said: "Everyone, get up." "Put the jade back away. The lily fairy seemed to see a monster, secretly wondering how this ruthless gang leader had become the envoy of the salt gang leader again, and she didn't know where that jade was deceived.

Wang Hou asked, "What are you going to round up?" Su Shan replied: "Back to the envoy, we are catching the sword frog." The lily fairy was stunned: "Sword frog? Su Shan saw that her expression was stunned, and he didn't know why, so he arched his hand and asked, "May I ask who the girl is?" Wang Hou introduced: "This is the Lily Fairy, the palace master of Tianxiang Palace. ”

Su Shan's eyes widened: "I have admired the name of the Lily Fairy for a long time, please forgive me for not knowing it!" The lily fairy came back to her senses and asked, "Sword frog, is there a sword frog here?" What are you catching it for? Su Shan smiled bitterly a few times and said the reason. It turned out that three days ago, Wu Ming, the deputy helmsman of the Fuzhou branch of the Yangang Branch, met two people in the restaurant, and the two people were very enthusiastic.

Wu Ming naturally responded with a cup, but the wine cup touched but was scratched by the ring on the man's hand, and he didn't care about it at the time, but when he returned to the rudder, the place where his fingers were scratched was swollen and high, and his eyelids were swollen and drooping, and his jaw was stiff, so he couldn't move. Everyone guessed that when the two exchanged glasses, the stroke on the other party's hand was strange.

The Salt Gang invited the local famous doctor Zhang Yizhen, and no one knows what Zhang Yizhen's original name is, because of his excellent medical skills, no matter what incurable diseases, a needle can be cured, so he got the nickname of "Zhang Yizhen", and he himself likes people to call him that. However, this time Zhang Yizhen ran into trouble.
