Chapter 38: Fu Xiaohu's Bizarre Adventure (2)
The shopkeeper told the shopkeeper what happened just now, and after listening to it, the shopkeeper looked at Fu Xiaohu with disgusted eyes and said, "Take money for dinner, the rules of the world." However, I think you are all Jianghu people, and you are all good at kung fu, and we ordinary people can't afford to mess with them. Let's go, a few of you. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for them to hurry up.
Fu Xiaohu didn't have a taste in his heart, if the shopkeeper didn't give up, they could still make a fuss, anyway, they opened their mouths first. As a result, the shopkeeper actually said this kind word, but Fu Xiaohu couldn't fix it.
Tan Wushuang was naturally afraid of things, he was really afraid that Fu Xiaohu would fight with others, so he hurriedly said, "Xiaohu, let's go." ”
Fu Xiaohu took two steps towards the door, suddenly stopped, turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "We will definitely pay back this money!" ”
"Forget it," said the shopkeeper without raising his head while asking people to clean up the table, "what kind of arrogance is there to charge?" Just ask a few guests not to come and wipe our necks at night. ”
"You!" Fu Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to slander me? ”
"Slander? Hmph, at first glance, you are not a good person, if you dare to eat the overlord's meal, you dare to kill. I said, you don't have to pay back the money, but please don't hold grudges. ”
Fu Xiaohu has suffered this kind of grievance, but he can swallow his anger if he treats him as a food, and now he is not even as good as asking for food. He is a young man in the rivers and lakes, in order to become famous, in order to be chivalrous and righteous. Just after coming out of the rivers and lakes, he became a bully eater.
He was originally a chicken nest head, and when he heard the shopkeeper say this, his originally curly and messy hair exploded even more, and his face turned red.
Shao Jie hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, Master Hu, let's go, let's come back and pay back when we have money." ”
Fu Xiaohu pushed Shao Jie away, and "Cang Langlang" pulled out a double short knife. The shopkeeper and the customers in the store were scared, this kid wants to kill someone?
The shopkeeper hurriedly hid behind the counter and begged for mercy loudly: "Don't, don't! Be merciful! It's a small mouthy! It's a small mouthy! This meal is our invitation! You don't count as eating a bully meal. ”
Fu Xiaohu walked to the counter with an angry face and slapped his double knives on the counter.
"Who's going to kill you! Listen up! Gentlemen don't eat overlord meals! Both knives are good knives! It's worth at least fifty taels! The knife is on you! In the future, the master will use forty taels to get it! ”
After speaking, he said to Tan Wushuang and them: "Let's go!" ”
Looking at the backs of a few people leaving, the shopkeeper walked up to the old man who had just spoken with a knife in his hand and said, "The master, this kid, it's a little interesting, starve to death and don't rob." ”
The old man was Li Changnian, he stroked his beard and said, "Fu Yanhe, this kid is quite backbone, his son, it's okay." Let's see what this can try. ”
Liu Yafeng, who worked as a cook in the back kitchen, walked out, he often went to Chaolan Valley, and Fu Xiaohu knew him, so he didn't show up.
Liu Yafeng asked Li Changnian: "If you are in charge, do you still try?" The money for people and children is gone, don't really force the grass to fall into the grass. ”
"I recognize these two knives, Fu Yanhe bought them at a great price back then. This kid has this courage, and I'm sure he won't rob even if he asks for food. Rest assured. ”
"So how are we going to try? I was really afraid that kid would hit someone just now, and the brothers in our dart game are not his opponents. A young man of this age, fighting is a dead hand. ”
"Don't worry, no one can die."
A few people who came out of the small restaurant were angry, and Zheng Beifeng scolded and said: "If this is in the Songshan realm, they dare to treat Lao Tzu like this?" Twenty taels, Master Hu, you are used to staying in the valley, I'm afraid you don't know how much twenty taels is, just this town, let's buy a small mansion is enough. ”
Fu Xiaohu said impatiently: "Don't say it! Noisy! The two of us don't have much experience, and neither do you? Someone stole something and didn't even notice it! ”
"It's not that we didn't find out, but I really didn't expect this black store to dare to open on the road."
Tan Wushuang said resignedly: "They won't see that we are foreigners and deliberately bully us, right?" ”
Fu Xiaohu waved his hand irritably: "Don't talk about this, let's hurry up and go to the Long Whale Sect." ”
Liu Kang said helplessly: "We used to have some money, and the so-called food in our hands was not panicked, but now we have no money." This goes to the Long Whale Sect, let alone three or five days, we can't drink the northwest wind. ”
Fu Xiaohu didn't want to think about it, but if he didn't think about it, he couldn't help it, how could he travel without money? The five old men are at the age when they can eat and drink, and they are hungry before the afternoon after eating at noon.
Fu Xiaohu asked Liu Kang: "That...... Is there a job to make money? ”
Liu Kang said embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid of your two jokes when I say it, I grew up in the door since I was a child, I haven't done any other work, and I eat and drink in the door." Later, he went into the rivers and lakes alone...... There are also friends to help me, and the most difficult to help people solve some troubles can also come to money. Now we're just out of the valley...... I can't think of a deal that will make money. ”
Tan Wushuang rubbed his hands and said narrowly, "Or, let's do coolies, right?" ”
"Coolies?"
"That's right, I heard my dad say that when he used to have no food, he went to the dock to fight the bag, and he could earn a lot of money a day."
Shao Jie said: "Fat man, what you said is light, how can there be a dock here?" Where are we going to fight the bag? ”
The three of them were talking, when they suddenly saw a big mansion in front of them, surrounded by many people at the door, most of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and a well-dressed middle-aged man stood on the steps and shouted at the group.
"Fifty cars! Rice, flour, grain and oil! Five people! After unloading the goods, one person has fifty copper plates! ”
The coarse cloths raised their arms and shouted, "I, me, me!" I'm capable! ”
"Don't squeeze! One by one! ”
Seeing the crowded crowd, Fu Xiaohu gritted his teeth, squeezed in hard, and shouted: "We! We'll just have forty copper plates each! ”
Hearing him shout like this, someone immediately shouted: "I'll do it for thirty!" ”
Fu Xiaohu stomped his foot angrily: "I'm twenty!" ”
Twenty copper plates are not enough for a family to eat and drink. Hearing him shout like this, the others were silent. They all scolded in their hearts: What's wrong with this person? Twenty copper plates? How to play?
Seeing the crowd disperse, the middle-aged man looked at him with a frown, and said angrily, "Young man, you're here to entertain me, right?" Twenty copper plates? ”
Fu Xiaohu nodded vigorously: "Yes!" Twenty copper plates! ”
This anti-bag is not the same as practicing martial arts, practicing martial arts, a set of punches down, although it is also tired, but the whole body is comfortable. This anti-bag, unloaded from the car, moved to the warehouse, unloaded again, and moved to the warehouse. Although you have a body of kung fu, but this kind of long-term physical work is impossible to use internal force, not everyone has the ability to amber, internal force is like no money.
Fifty cars, Fu Xiaohu said in his heart: Five people, one person and ten cars, it will be a matter of a while. Who knew that as soon as he did it, he would know the pain, and before he unloaded the five cars, Fu Xiaohu was tired with a sore back and legs, and his shoulders were bald.
The other four were no better, who had done manual work? Besides, the master before practicing martial arts has explained: After practicing martial arts, if you don't do physical work, you won't do it, which will affect martial arts. Especially Tan Wushuang, who is fat, and he is already tired after unloading a few cars.
Fu Xiaohu gritted his teeth hard, and he silently recited: Fu Xiaohu! You'll starve to death! You can't do anything about robbing a house! What happened to the anti-pack? If you still do farm work in the valley, as long as the money is clean, how can you earn it?
I thought I could finish the work in more than an hour, but I ended up doing it all afternoon. After Tan Wushuang unloaded seven cars, he couldn't move them anymore, and the remaining three cars were moved by Fu Xiaohu.
The five people were tired and collapsed on the steps, and the middle-aged man teased them on the side: "No wonder you only need twenty copper plates, just this little goods, and you have moved for so long." ”
Fu Xiaohu was tired and didn't have the strength to fight with others, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Check out." ”
"It's not easy for you," the middle-aged man said as he took out the money, "our lord said that we will reward you with forty more." ”
After speaking, he handed over one hundred and forty copper plates to Fu Xiaohu. Fu Xiaohu said righteously: "No, if you say that one person is twenty, one person will be twenty!" ”
"Hey," the middle-aged man smiled disdainfully, he squatted down and said to Fu Xiaohu, "Boy, you're not a coolie, you probably ran away from home, right?" You haven't suffered before, have you? If you give you the money, you will take it, and put away your little arrogance, it is useless. What is generous? I'm not a scholar, but I know a truth: die to save face and suffer sin. Take it, when I get outside, there aren't many kind-hearted people like me. ”
After speaking, he ignored Fu Xiaohu and them, turned around and walked into the door.
Fu Xiaohu sat on the steps and held the copper plate in his hand hard. He was a little aggrieved, and he even wanted to cry. But he still held back his tears.
Less than a day after he came out of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes taught him two lessons.
Tan Wushuang asked, "Xiaohu, ...... next Where are we going? ”
Liu Kang said: "Let's find a place to live first." ”
The five of them found the worst inn, they didn't have much money in their hands, and they didn't dare to ask for a good one, as long as they could shelter from the wind and rain.
Entering the inn, the innkeeper greeted him: "How many, stay in the hotel?" ”
Fu Xiaohu replied: "Yes." ”
"We'll just have one room, you five of us."
"Good...... Ah yes, how much? Fu Xiaohu learned to be obedient and asked the price first.
"Four copper plates for one person."
Four people are twenty. Thinking that this money was earned with hard work, Fu Xiaohu felt a little distressed.
Fu Xiaohu was about to pay for it, and Shao Jie said to his buddy: "Man, we're all squeezed into a room, let's get cheaper." ”
The man thought for a while and said, "Well, I see that you haven't eaten either, so you can take out two copper plates by yourself, and we'll spare you a meal." ”
Fu Xiaohu hurriedly said: "You have to be full." ”
"Don't worry, we don't eat well here, we must be full."
The five of them ate something hastily, not good rice, mushy porridge, pickles, and cakes. The five of them worked all afternoon, hungry, and it didn't matter whether it was delicious or not, it was important to be full.
The inn room was not large, only two beds made of blue bricks, the beds were covered with hay mattresses, the bedding had not been washed for a long time, and there was an indescribable stench.
Liu Kang and the three of them are okay, during this time in Chaolan Valley, they all lie directly on the ground when they sleep, and now they are not much better. Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang grew up in the valley since childhood, and although the life in the valley is not rich, they have not suffered any crimes. Now that I'm out, I live in an inn with four copper plates for one night, covered with a stinky quilt, and I have to sleep with others, which makes me feel so uncomfortable.
Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang squeezed into a bed, Tan Wushuang was too fat, Fu Xiaohu slept sideways all night, and one arm was numb when he came in the morning.
Fu Xiaohu rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, and saw that on the other bed, Liu Kang and the others were gone. He was clever in his heart, and hurriedly touched it into his arms, and sure enough, the little money he earned yesterday as a coolie was gone.
"Fatty! Get up! Fu Xiaohu hurriedly shouted to wake up Tan Wushuang.
Tan Wushuang slept soundly, and was a little unhappy to be woken up all of a sudden, he rubbed his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" When is this time? ”
Fu Xiaohu yelled: "Liu Kang, they ran away!" ”
Tan Wushuang turned over: "If you run, you will run, without those three wastes, we just want to save money." ”
"They stole the money!"
"What?!" Tan Wushuang sat up with a "poof", reached into the cuffs and touched it, the expression on his face was more ugly than crying.
"It's over, my money has been stolen...... What should we do Xiaohu? ”
