Chapter 90: Joy and Success
Those who recommend themselves must have their skills!
He is this kind of person, who has learned a good martial art from Yiren since he was a child. The ancestral butcher's skills did not fall behind, a boning knife danced like the wind, and several big men assisted in quickly peeling off the python's skin.
The key is that there is no shredded meat on the python skin, which attracted Li Kui, Chen Hu and others to applaud!
Chao Gai knew that the toughness of the python's flesh and skin was not so strong after his death, but he was also amazed by the superb knife skills, perhaps only Cao Zheng, the knife ghost, could match. Open a village shop at the foot of Erlong Mountain to live, and have time to visit.
Thinking that Chaojiazhuang is in the development stage and urgently needs talents to join, the heroes joined. He can't wait to learn from Boss Cao, and a merit-seeking order will spread to all parts of the world. But you can't do things too ostentatiously, otherwise it is easy to attract death.
Chao Gai will not destroy the development policy formulated in the early stage, and suddenly secretly scolded himself for being nonsense, and there are fierce people around him who do not win over but go far ahead. immediately turned his gaze to Yuan Lang and pulled this man to chat.
I learned that the other party's ancestral home is Huaixi, and he now lives in Ezhou, his parents are dead, and he is a bachelor. Since he was a child, he has loved to dance with guns and sticks, and he has met masters who have learned martial arts well. There are more than 100 acres of fertile land at home, usually do some small business, go to the mountains to hunt in his spare time, life is quite passable, and he helps his friends with righteousness and wealth. It's just that in recent years, taxes and forced labor have increased, and the family has gradually been emptied.
Li Kui likes to join in the fun, and Chen Hu, Ma Fang, Kong Liang and others also joined in. Talking about the interesting things that happened during this time, I laughed when I was happy.
But there are so many injustices in the world, as long as you mention it, it will be out of control. Here they rob the people's daughters, where they seek money and kill their lives, and scold corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
The entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money!
In the mountain temple, a group of reckless men talked about heaven and earth, and scolded.
"Brother, what do you look like?" Just when everyone was less alive and hot. The giant python's stump that was about to be split suddenly exclaimed, and then the big man rushed over and spread his blood-stained hands out.
There was an egg-sized, round bead on it. Translucent. Miraculously, the bead rolls without staining any blood.
Yuan Lang, Guo Sheng, Li Kui and others came over to watch. Even the black horse entered the mountain temple at some point, and the big head came over. Many guards had already seen the strangeness of this horse, and they didn't dare to stop this father.
Chao Gai reached out and took it to warm it, put it under his nose and sniffed it. It is said that the beads are like jade, but they are more delicate. It was said that there was no light in the night pearl, only an inexplicable warmth, and I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Where did this come from?"
"It was taken from the mandible of the serpent." He smiled innocently, and said mysteriously: "I heard the old man in the village say that creatures like snakes and turtles may have a treasure bead in their bodies if they live for a long time and have spirituality. ”
"That's not very credible." Chao Gai also heard the old man talk about this kind of statement in later generations, but he didn't believe in this kind of mysterious thing for conceptual reasons.
"Where did the jewel in the snake's body come from?" asked Li Kui if he didn't understand.
"I didn't swallow someone, but this bead stayed in my body."
"Yes, yes, otherwise how can a snake grow beads in its body?"
"But if the snake becomes a sperm, it is also possible to conceive a jewel in the body."
……
Everyone really had never seen such a strange thing, and they expressed their opinions one after another. That kind of statement that pythons become essences, Yuan Lang is convinced.
"Well, it doesn't matter where he came from. It's a pearl of the night. Chao Gai really didn't want to discuss such an evil thing as Chengjing, so he stopped everyone in time. To commemorate this, the bead is called the Snake Bead.
He added: "I don't know how many years this snake has lived, the snake gall is as big as a head, the turquoise exudes a medicinal fragrance, and it is also a treasure." ”
"That's good, otherwise it's all in vain. Snake gallbladder clears heat and detoxifies high medicinal value. If this big snake gall is well preserved, it may be of great use in the future. ”
When Guo Sheng heard Chao Gai's order, he immediately went to find something to pack this snake gall. Because that dark horse is not very honest, he always deliberately leans in that way.
This python, which is more than ten meters long and as thick as a water tank, must weigh at least two or three thousand catties. Chao Gai will not be stingy, and prefers to eat snake meat to change his physique.
Large pieces of snake meat were distributed, and the guards were all beaming, they knew that snake meat was a big supplement, let alone such a big giant snake. Maybe it has special effects, strengthening the body and even prolonging life.
Outside the mountain temple, marching tents stand one after another. Everywhere in the bonfire, the smell of meat is bursting, and the laughter and laughter seem to bring the dilapidated temple to life.
The same is true in the mountain temple, Chao Gai, Guo Sheng and others feasted. No one knows how long the python has lived, but the meat is delicate, and the lips and teeth are fragrant and have an endless aftertaste. Especially after eating, the stomach is warm and very comfortable.
The snake meat is replenished, but Zhao Ji can't be made up to death!
The development of Chaojiazhuang and the future planning still need to rely on their own efforts.
Chao Gai never forgot his purpose, and after taking a sip of wine, he looked at Yuan Lang: "Two brothers, what are your plans in the future?" ”
"Hey, brother, I can't join the army, others laugh at me for being too ugly. What can you do besides killing pigs and hunting? He sighed, and was depressed when he mentioned the past. Grab the marching pot and pour a few sips.
"Brother, sometimes I want to escape into the deep mountains and old forests like Brother Yuji, quiet and comfortable." Yuan Lang's face was full of helplessness, and he had been angry with the government in the past few years. is a good martial artist, but no one knows him. Someone in his hometown invited him to fall into the grass many times, but he hesitated.
"It's a pity that there are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there is no way to serve the country!" Guo Sheng, Li Kui scolded again and again, which of them did not see the turbidity of the world with their own eyes.
Chao Gai was so happy to see the two big men, he was not afraid that the other party would be resentful, but he was afraid of that kind of foolish loyalist. In this way, he can easily pull the two into the gang.
Just when he was organizing the language and preparing to win over, Yuan Lang took the initiative to ask: "Brother, the guards in your house are well-trained and can be called elite. ”
"Hey, these guards are personal guards trained by my brother, and they will become officers in the future. During this time, it was even more mountainous warfare, and it has been more than two months ......"
Guo Sheng saw that the two men were brave, and Chao Gai obviously had the intention to win them over. pointed to the guards inside and outside the mountain temple, revealing some military secrets.
These words immediately attracted Yuan Lang and Yu Yu. What to do as an officer later? What kind of training method is mountain combat training?
When Li Kui's big mouth joined in the shouting, Kong Liang, the person concerned, experienced it firsthand. The old man Chen Hu summed up and added, making the atmosphere lively. Yuan Lang more or less understood that the Chao Mansion guarded two or three thousand.
My brother's ambition is not small! The Ma side was still emotional when he heard it again. Yuan Lang was suddenly in his heart, and looked at Chao Gai, who had a square face and thick eyebrows, and felt that he couldn't see through it.
"Two brothers, Chao recruited guards to fight against the Liangshan bandits." Chao Gai noticed Yuan Lang's gaze and said righteously. Then I explained in detail what I had started on the day of the crossing.
Han Bolong's stinky shit is known to everyone, Yuan Lang, and he has naturally heard of it. also knows a little about Chao Gai, and now he confirms that he will spit on Han Bolong again. I also felt admiration for Chao Gai's refusal to be an official.
"Two brothers, I have one more mouth. Why don't you two go to my brother with sad faces? Isn't it fun to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl? "Li Kui's words are the first to be true.
"That is, our brothers get together, and we are not angry with those talents." Guo Sheng, Chen Hu, and Kong Liang all expressed their welcome to the two.
"Brother, these two follow my brother, if you don't dislike me, follow me too." He slapped his thigh and pointed at Chen Hu, and Li Kui yelled and ran away.
"That's right, I'm willing to serve my brother." Yuan Lang followed suit.
"Don't be busy yet, it's not too late to make a decision after I finish talking." Chao Gai was happy when he heard the statements of the two, but he had to make some things clear. The smile on his face gradually subsided, and he told the truth about his robbery of the Birth Gang, the night attack on Wangjiaji, and the outwitting of Songjiazhuang.
These three big cases, Yuan Lang, and Ma Fang were surprised at first, and the boiling news that was uploaded in the rivers and lakes during this time turned out to be the real murderer here. It's just that after understanding the reason for the whole story, everyone thinks it's a good job.
"The two brothers, following me Chao Gai, are destined to stand on the opposite side of the Great Song Dynasty. Failure is to break bones, you have to think three times. Chao Gai ate barbecue and drank wine, calmly looking at Yu Qi and Yuan Lang.
"I, Chao, have never been strong, if I don't want to mention this matter again. I also believe that the two of them value love and righteousness, as if this is an unintentional remark after drinking. ”
"What the elder brother did was a righteous act, and the younger brother is willing to gallop on the battlefield with his brother." Yuan Lang glanced at each other, got up and bowed to Chao Gaina.
"Okay, the two brothers defected, and from then on, they will not change their heads." Chao Gai waited for them to kowtow, and then returned the bow and helped them up with both hands. looked at the thief suspiciously: "Why doesn't a hero like a brother have a nickname?" ”
"Brother, I haven't read a book, so I can't think of it." He touched his head.
"So be it! Foolish brother for you one! Chao Gai saw that the black man nodded again and again, thought for a moment, and said: "The brother has a broad figure, a large waist and ten girths, and strong martial arts. Coupled with a loyal personality, it is better to be called a tiger idiot. ”
"Tiger Race Idiot? Thank you, brother! After muttering a few times, he was very satisfied.
At this time, Guo Sheng had already taken out two hundred taels of gold from the package and handed them to the two of them.
"It's... This is? "Yuan Lang, I was a little puzzled.
Kong Liang, as Chao Gai's apprentice, pushed the gold into the arms of the two, and said with a smile: "Two elder brothers, this is the rule of Chaofu, and the settlement fee is paid." ”
"That's too much, isn't it?" Yuan Lang was staggered again and again.
"We've all taken it. If you have relatives and friends, give some money to settle down or go away. Chen Hu and Li Kui laughed.
"Two brothers, let's sit down and have a drink!" Chao Gai pulled Yuan Lang and Yu Qi to sit down, Guo Sheng, Li Kui, Chen Hu and others raised their wine bowls to salute. Yuan Lang, how can the two of them be afraid? He fought with the crowd and boasted.
It wasn't until late at night that it stopped!
Chao Gai pulled Yuan Lang and talked for a long time before he slept together! And the burst of heat from the snake bead made the night no longer cold......
