Chapter Seventy-Five: Four Categories of Rivers and Lakes
There are really not many people on the rivers and lakes who can live to the age of ear shun, especially this kind of mixed bottom, which naturally attracts many people to listen secretly, and they also want to know what tricks this person has.
The grandson is a fledgling and is very interested in things on the rivers and lakes, so he is naturally curious.
"Grandpa, could it be that you have very high martial arts skills, and you can often protect yourself at critical times?"
The old man smiled triumphantly: "Your grandfather and I have been in the rivers and lakes for decades, even if we practice some unpopular kung fu, at this age, we have some accumulation, and we are not mediocre." ”
After looking at it, others also nodded secretly, if a person walks the rivers and lakes at the age of twenty and licks the blood with a knife and lives to the age of sixty, it is impossible for him to be messing around in the past forty years.
And most of this time was during the war between the Song and Yuan dynasties, where was there no chaos in the world? How can you survive to this day without a little bit of a handle under your hands?
Therefore, many people have some admiration for this old man, and secretly gradually put away their contempt for this person who used to be a thief.
"Grandpa can live to this day, martial arts is one thing, and the most important thing is the experience of the rivers and lakes!"
"Jianghu experience?" The grandson was even more curious.
"Hehe, the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes is to judge the situation and know who can be provoked and who must hide when encountering something, which is the way to protect oneself."
As he spoke, the old man's eyes glanced around, his head approached his grandson, and Kuaizi quietly pointed.
"Walking the rivers and lakes, there are four types of people that must not be easily provoked!"
Not only his grandson, but also other Jianghu guests couldn't help but prick up their ears.
"You have to remember that these four types of people are monks, beggars, girls, and children!"
Sun Tzu looked around suspiciously, and said silently: "Monks, beggars, girls, children? Why? ”
"Monks are not only monks, but also Taoist monks who walk alone. Why can't you mess with it?
You must know that the world's martial arts are none other than Buddhism and Taoism, and when you meet such a person, it seems that his appearance is not good, and it is often very likely that he will come from a big faction such as Quanzhen and Shaolin!
Although Quanzhen is now in decline, it has spread out in various places, and there are many good hands. Not to mention that there is also the possibility of hiding evil masters among them. ”
The grandson immediately knew, stroked his palms and said, "I know this!" There is also the legend of Li Mochou, the fairy of Chilian in the previous generation of martial arts, and there are indeed many masters in the monks, and there are monks, nuns, and Taoist priests on the road. ”
In the restaurant, there happened to be seven or eight monks and Taoist priests who came here to rest their fate, all of them carrying swords and swords, or carrying convenient shovels.
They complained that the tables and chairs were too densely arranged and the space was too narrow, so they each moved their table seats and sat on the tables in front of and behind Fan Zhuoyuan respectively.
Just hearing the words of the grandfather and grandson, the monks immediately puffed up their chests and felt very relieved.
Many observers also felt reasonable, looking at these monks, they originally hated them reaching out like beggars, but at the moment they were a little jealous, and they distanced themselves slightly.
The old man poured another glass of rice wine and drank it, and when the breeze blew, he shook his head and continued with the strength of the slightly drunken wine.
"The other one is those Hanako that you usually hate very much and look down on!"
On the side, there were a few beggars holding bamboo sticks and setting broken bowls, leaning next to the monk who had turned into a relationship, and begged the monk for porridge, rice, and copper coins from the monk.
At this time, when I heard about beggars, I showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and I looked here with a smile.
"Do you know which gang is the number one gang in the world?"
Without hesitation, Sun Er blurted out: "There is no doubt that he is a beggar!" ”
"That's right! That's right, it's the beggars! Although the beggar gang followed Guo Daxia to fight against the Tartars in Fancheng, the elites in the gang suffered heavy losses.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are more and more beggars in the world, and there are not many homeless people who join the beggar gang for help.
These flowers look thin and deceitful, but when people say hello, they can't help dozens or hundreds of people come over, even if they don't fight you, they spit around you and sing Lotus Fall, you can't stand it.
Not to mention, if you provoke the elder with the bag on his body, then he won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
As soon as the words fell, the beggars who surrounded the monk to ask for food came over and sang the lotus flower around the grandfather and grandson.
There was only an old beggar with nine bags on his body, hiding in the shadow under the eaves of the restaurant, five steps behind Fan Zhuoyuan's left elbow, he opened his eyes and glanced at his grandson, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to sleep on the ground with his straw hat on his pillow.
"It's a good time, it's a good time, I'm here for dinner. Uncle and brother are kind-hearted, stretch out their hands to help, they can't eat, they can't dress warmly, the children cry, the wife shouts, hard days, it's really pitiful, survive this year and not next year. ”
The shopkeeper saw the beggar coming to harass the customer, and hurriedly came to drive him away, but two more beggars surrounded him.
"Bow to him, worship you again, and look at the good business of the shopkeeper. Let's go, move it, and the shopkeeper sells good steamed buns.
The bun is succinct and the noodles are hard, and the buyers are happy to look at it. The steamed rolls are boxy and placed on the table one by one. Your steamed bun is round and round, and you can sell it for money from all over the world......"
The shopkeeper didn't eat this set, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to fight.
The beggars sang again: "It's hard to open the crowd, I hope you shopkeeper will help, if you don't help, I won't leave, fight an old eagle and wait for a dead dog!"
Saying that, two beggars entered the store, lay down on the ground, rolled around and looked like scoundrels, and the shopkeeper wanted to cry without tears when he saw this.
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, took a few big pieces from his waist, and asked the shopkeeper to buy a dozen steamed buns.
"A few old brothers, the old man knows that he is wrong, a little gift, not a respect, please forgive me."
The beggar leader laughed, accepted the loose money and steamed buns, distributed them with the beggars under his subordinates, and knew the rules to congratulate a few long lives and good health, and then retreated to the other side of the official road, but they were not far away, and ate the steamed buns by themselves.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The grandson was a little unconvinced, and whispered: "Grandpa, I see that these beggars are very thin, and they are still afraid that they will continue to harass them?" ”
The old man said: "Don't you see the old beggar sleeping under the tree, you beat someone today, and if you walk on the road another day, you may beat people with a stick, and there is no need to be angry with a little money."
Besides, we can go in style, this shopkeeper still has to do business, and in the future, these flowers will come every day, day by day, how will the business continue. ”
The grandson sighed, quickly forgot the unhappiness just now, and continued to ask: "Then grandpa, there is a girl and a child in the back, what are you referring to?" Can't a woman be provoked either? ”
The old man glared at him, "This can't be nonsense! What is a woman who can't be provoked, let's walk the rivers and lakes to preach morality, and when you see a weak woman, do you want to bully you? ”
Sun Er raised his hand and said, "That's not what I meant!" ”
The old man smiled, "The woman mentioned here refers to a woman walking alone in the rivers and lakes." You see, the rivers and lakes are so sinister, and now there are many more Tartars and dogs in the Jiangnan area.
At this time, a woman who can still walk alone in the rivers and lakes, if she doesn't have any skills in her hands, how can she protect herself in this troubled world? ”
