Chapter Forty-Nine: On the Banks of the Qingchuan River
"Your Excellency is the young owner of the Shunfeng Dart Game?" The young man asked, his already clenched fists were released, and the T-shaped steps that had been placed were also closed, and he immediately bowed: "In Xia Liu Jiabao, the Yuelai Restaurant in the city was opened by my Aya." There was a lot of misunderstanding just now, if Lin Darttou is free, please go to Yuelai Restaurant and ask the little brother to make amends for you. ”
"Little brother recognizes me?" Lin Shu said with doubts on his face.
"Of course, uh...... I've never seen it, but I've admired the name for a long time. A few years ago, when my grandmother was in the capital, didn't my grandfather often ask your dart bureau to send me things to Shenlong Villa? ”
"Zhao Jiabao?" Lin Shu asked tentatively.
"Yes. My grandmother has been married for many years, and finally had me, and after I was born, I almost died, and I found a blind Taoist priest to forget it, saying that I would wait until I was twelve years old to reunite with the family, and I was safe, so I lived in my grandfather's house when I was a child, with the surname 'Zhao'.
When I was more than seven years old, my family sent me to Shenlong Villa to learn kung fu, and I paid five years of money at once, thinking that I could strengthen my body or have multiple ways out in the future. Who knew that my master didn't see anyone all day long, didn't teach anything, and basically learned my kung fu from my brother. ”
Liu Jiabao complained that it seems that five years of time have been wasted.
Lin Shu smiled and shook his head: "The world is unpredictable, if it weren't for Qin Cha Mingjian, who would have thought that the owner of the dignified Shenlong Villa would actually be an impostor by someone else." ”
Liu Jiabao also let out a long sigh: "Yes, I really didn't expect my 'master' to be so bad, just because they are twin brothers, relying on their similar appearance, they actually want to kill their own brother and replace him." Fortunately, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and now he has been duly punished. ”
"What happened to the owner of the Oriental Farm?"
Liu Jiabao was stunned: "Oriental owner? Forehead...... You mean the Faceless Master? Hey, his face has been ruined, and he and his wife are in love with the mountains and rivers every day, or they talk about the scriptures, but they are also at ease. Now the affairs of the villa are all in the hands of the senior brother. Oh, my senior brother is already the new owner, but I don't know how the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance will be disposed of. ”
Lin Shu's face showed a hint of grief and indignation: "Three years ago, in order to compete with the Heavenly Saint Palace for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, Dongfang Xiong did not hesitate to secretly communicate with the traitors of the imperial court and slaughter the Heavenly Saint Palace, which has already made the knights of the world dissatisfied. This time, I heard that I wanted to collude with Tubo to make a fine work, so I was exposed by Qincha. Now, Qin sent Dongfang Hong to temporarily take the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, but the things on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that Qin Cha may not be effective. ”
Liu Jiabao waved his hand: "That's it, I have a headache when I hear these things." Fortunately, I'm not a disciple of Shenlong Villa, so let's go and toss it by myself with my senior brother. ”
I watched the two of them talk energetically with my hands behind my back, and my heart itched. Coming and going to the Jianghu Inn every day, I have more or less heard Uncle Fang tell some stories about the rivers and lakes, in addition to the stories of heroes such as the White Cloud Fairy, of course, there is no shortage of battles between various sects. Hey, it's nothing more than fighting for martial arts cheats and martial arts status, it's really tiring.
"Hehe, you're in a good state of mind. How about meeting a friend with me? Lin Shu invited.
"Friends? Who is it? Liu Jiabao's face showed a little concern, and pointed to the distance: "I will accompany my aunt to enjoy the osmanthus mile." ”
"Then you play first, and I'll take my friend to Yuelai Restaurant to find you in the evening." Lin Shu smiled: "I still have something to do, so I'll miss it first." ”
"Okay, farewell!"
The two of them parted as if I didn't exist anymore.
"Ahem." I coughed and raised my hands that were tied behind my back: "Two heroes, can you help untie them?" ”
"Oh, you didn't answer me just now, what's going on?" Lin Shu asked.
Liu Jiabao finally set his eyes on me again: "A thief, he and his accomplices stole my money bag last night, and I chased and lost it when it was dark, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by me just now, ran away, and was about to take him to the county office." ”
"Misunderstanding, really misunderstanding!" I tried to argue: "Liu Xiaolangjun, when did I steal your money bag last night?" ”
"It's not you, it's your accomplices."
"Misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding. The man had stolen my purse, too, so I just happened to know him, and I wasn't with him. ”
"But my money bag is on you."
"He must have stuffed it on me." I was afraid that Liu Jiabao would really send me to the official for a while, so I explained nervously: "The person who stole your money last night is known as a thief, and he has good skills, and he likes to return other people's empty bags every time he steals silver." If you don't believe it, you go and ask Long Yuhan, the leader of the Tianyan team, he also knows it, and he has also been stolen. ”
"Five thieves don't take it?" Lin Shu's face was happy: "One does not steal the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the second does not steal monks and doctors, the third does not steal the poor, the fourth does not steal life-saving money, and the fifth does not steal the same person." ”
"That's right, that's right, that's what he shouted." I'm sure.
"Lin Darthead knows him?"
"There was a one-sided relationship, hehe, or rather, he stole it once. He has been robbing the rich and helping the poor, but he is also a thief. ”
"Rogue Warrior?" Liu Jiabao scratched his head: "A thief is a thief?" Can it still be paired with the word 'chivalry'? My family's money is not blown by the wind, so why should he use it as a good person? ”
"Uh...... This ......" Lin Shu thought for a while: "Fortunately, he only stole it once, and he won't beat you again in the future." ”
I remembered the greedy face of Shopkeeper Liu, and suddenly I wanted to fight for Su Xiaolu in my heart: "Eh...... Lingzun Liu's shopkeeper, I have also had a few fates, if Su Xiaolu doesn't steal your money to help the poor, let Lingzun donate it himself, I'm afraid I can't be reluctant, right?
I remember helping my friend Song Erlang deliver wine to your restaurant, and the shopkeeper Liu wanted to rely on fifty yuan not to give it, but thanks to Xiao Langjun's righteous words, my friend got paid. ”
Liu Jiabao must still remember this, his face flushed, and he untied my hands: "Forget it, just let me do good deeds for him." ”
"Xiao Lang Jun, Xiao Lang Jun!" A maid-looking man ran over panting: "Ouch, Xiao Langjun, why did you come here?" The lady is looking for you everywhere. ”
"Oh, how offended." Liu Jiabao looked at me and smiled apologetically: "I don't know what Brother Tai is called, if you have the opportunity to go to Yuelai Restaurant, I will make amends to you." ”
I rubbed my reddened wrist: "In Xiali Jianghu, I make tofu for a living on weekdays, and I will send tofu to the Jianghu Inn every day, and it is convenient to go to your restaurant, but your wine and food are too expensive, but ordinary people can not afford to consume them." ”
"You are Li Jianghu?" Liu Jiabao suddenly became excited: "I went to the Jianghu Inn yesterday to eat bean curd, but it was delicious, Sister Xian'er said that you did it early, and I was still thinking about who could get into Sister Xian'er's eyes and deliver goods to her store for a long time, it turned out to be you!" ”
"Uh...... Hehe, you...... Are you familiar with Mu Niangzi? I asked, and I was a little confused when I heard him call Mu Niangzi's maiden name. As the saying goes, peers are enemies, the two of them are close to each other, and there will inevitably be friction in business, how can this kid have dealings with Mu Niangzi?
"That's it, Sister Xian'er and I ...... four years ago" Liu Jiabao said, suddenly covering his mouth, his face panicked: "You don't care about this." I'll go first. Lin Darthead, come over that night. ”
"Okay."
Watching him walk away with the maid, Lin Shu also smiled: "This kid is quite interesting." ”
"Oh, thank you just now." I said politely.
Lin Shu looked me up and down: "The clear person is self-purifying, and I haven't done anything." I still have something to do, so I'll retire first. ”
"Uh...... There will be a period later! I also bowed with my fists.
Hero, walking alone with a sword is really majestic, hehe, Li Jianghu, envy.
Baokang County is close to Xiangzhou City. Downwind dart game? But I haven't heard of it. However, in this world, many places are in chaos, and the business of the dart game should be good.
I walked around by myself, and the fragrance of osmanthus was refreshing, but it made people drunk like a dream. The Qingchuan River twists and turns, and there are more tourists on both sides of the river, or the whole family enjoys the scenery, or friends get together, or the beautiful woman has an appointment......
Hey, all of a sudden, I feel lonely again......
It's important to get down to business, and I'm ready to build a house. I searched for the people who were building houses, asked about wages and materials, and walked until I was exhausted.
It was already past noon, I ate two cakes to fill my stomach, and then returned to the Jianghu Inn to get the burden, but I saw Mu Niangzi munching on roast chicken alone in the guest hall.
"The owner." I stepped forward and smiled: "I walked around today, and I also contacted a few masters, and when I go home and discuss it with my aunt, it is estimated that the construction will start in the next two days." Forehead...... But don't worry, I still promise to deliver the tofu on time every day. ”
"yes, okay." Mu Niangzi threw a chicken bone on the table: "You don't need to report to me about your family's affairs, and I don't have the energy to take care of it." ”
"Oh, yes. Then I'...... Go back first. ”
I went to the kitchen to vacate my empty burden and glanced at Ah Wu: "Fifth brother, is Mrs. Mu okay?" ”
Ah Wu glanced at Mu Niangzi and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I quarreled with Qin Yong, where do I dare to ask?"
Early in the morning, he said with great interest that he didn't care about the store today, he was going to send oranges to Qin Yong, and he was going to Qin Yong's new house to play.
When I came back at noon, my face changed. Fu Bo asked her if she had eaten, and she replied: Is it only his Qin Yong's family that has food? I'm afraid that I went to Qin Yong's house and sat on a cold bench, and I felt uncomfortable. ”
"Oh, then I'll go first. I'd better come early tomorrow. I whispered, for fear of provoking Mu Niangzi's anger on myself. I thought about asking about the heart-warming situation, but I had to give up.
When I got home, I heard A-Niang's hearty laughter, and it turned out that Aunt Zhu came again.
"Yo, the rivers and lakes are back?"
"I wish my aunt." I said hello and rested my burden by the well and packed it up.
"Well, I'll have to go back and pack my clothes."
"Okay, that's it, thank you so much. When our house is built, we will come back to play. ”
"Okay, okay, get busy."
The two said goodbye, and A-Niang also came over to help, and the whole person was still in high spirits: "Great, you wish Auntie to introduce me to the master who built a house for her family, I think her family is built well, all expenses together, ten taels of silver." ”
"Only ten taels of silver?" I suddenly felt that it was much cheaper than what I had inquired about.
"That is, you wish the eldest lady to be shrewd, it must be the most affordable, that is, we have to contribute more by ourselves, like those yellow mud, dig it ourselves, straw or something, if you can get it at the farmer's house, it will save money."
"Hmm." I nodded, my eyes falling on the basket next to me.
A-Niang wiped her hands and lifted the cloth covering it: "Eat, I see that there is one next to your pillow that you are reluctant to eat, this time, I wish Auntie sent us a basket so that you can eat enough." ”
"Oranges!"
"Hehe, you wish the aunt is so polite, introduce me to the master bricklayer, and give oranges. We have to write down this favor...... "A-Niang nagged again.
