Chapter 954: A Drink and a Peck Have a Cause (2)
Fortunately, the more than 50 customers in Wang Laosan's store did not smash his small shop because of the huge grief and indignation in their hearts.
But after being silent for a while, the first man from Lu Province suddenly shouted in his mouth:
"What kind of shit is this special mother, the store will bring me another jar of wine, to this damn world, to those heroic grandfathers in the Xuange camp."
When the voice fell, the others also shouted, asking Wang Laosan to continue serving them wine; It seems that he intends to use drinking to vent the indignation in his heart.
In this way, not only his 'Wang's shop' is safe.
This is still selling a lot of wine out for nothing, and making a good profit.
In the time that followed, the customers began to drink heavily; Wang Laosan also entered, constantly carrying a pot of pots, or a jar of wine.
If it weren't for the fact that he made a batch of wine last month, the drinks in the store today would really be a little insufficient.
The amount of alcohol consumed by people is naturally large and small, and under such a drinking method, some people will soon seem to be a little drunk.
It was on the table in the corner, with three scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a businessman, and two bald masters, a black-faced thin man who shared the table together.
After he spoke, he scolded in a unique accent of Lao Guang:
"* His mother's, the heroes and grandfathers of the Xuange camp, the world is so big, why do you want to come to Beijing to suffer such grievances?
I think that when I was in Yangcheng, I took a group of us Lao Guang to fight the yin people and ghosts together, how majestic it was to respond to all calls, and where would I fall into today's isolated and helpless situation. ”
After hearing such a sentence, everyone in the store was moved.
Looking at this old Guang's age, about forty years old, he even has some ideas.
The three young scholars sitting opposite him glanced at each other, and one of them arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask this eldest brother, did you still participate in the battle of Yangcheng in the Xuange Camp back then?"
I don't know if you can tell us the details, and then how about the three of us help you with the food and drinks for this meal and the room money for tonight? ”
When the other customers in the store heard this, they also looked at them in unison for the first time.
Even if there are still some people, they are still bowing their heads and drinking and eating, but their ears are clearly pricked up, and they are paying attention to the movement here.
Even Wang Laosan hugged an empty wine jar with such the same reaction.
The reason for this is actually understandable; In the nineteen-year battle in Yangcheng, the legendary results naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Daqing.
The problem is that there are too many versions of the rumors.
There are many people in the Xuange camp who scattered beans into soldiers, or after pinching a trick, a thunder fell from the sky, and the Xuanhu saying that the foreign devil ship was smashed to pieces.
After encountering it, they really wanted to hear what happened during that period of time from the mouth of this Lao Guang, who really participated in the war.
"It's just some old things, tell me where you need the money for wine and the house, just?"
After Lao Guang heard what the three scholars said, his expression was quite exciting.
At first, he immediately straightened his waist, and his face seemed to have a light under the honor, obviously the old incident nineteen years ago must be the most worthy of telling about the glorious experience in his life.
It's just that after thinking of something, I looked up at the dozens of people in the store, but there was a look of scruples on my face.
Thinking about it, Xuange Camp is a rebellion with a reward from the imperial court after all.
If you are involved in a place like Jingshi, you are asking for trouble.
Fortunately, at this time, a group of Taoists dressed up at the next table, but they were among the men who ordered a lot of wine and meat and ate and drank.
The first of them was the first, but only twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a delicate appearance and a little black mole under each eye.
But under a simple robe, the momentum is unusually good.
He slammed the table hard as he looked at the rest of the store with shining eyes; The eyes didn't see how fierce they were, but after inadvertently glancing at each other, Wang Laosan couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.
sighed in his heart: "Grandpa! What kind of fairy guests are there in my small shop today? ”
When the man looked around, he also reassured loudly: "Brother, don't worry, I promise that there will be no one tonight, and I will tell you about it~"
I don't know if I was intimidated by the momentum that this pretending man inadvertently showed, or if I didn't plan to say it in my heart.
After that, the people in the store opened their mouths one after another, promising that nothing would be said about tonight.
Including the old man Zuo, who also looked good, after smiling, let that old man not have any worries, just rest assured
That Lao Guang is also a happy person.
Seeing that the other customers in the store were all talking, they didn't bother with the possibility that these people would not count.
After drinking a glass of wine, while his face showed a look of memory, the official dialect with an accent of eastern Guangdong in his mouth also sounded in the shop.
For a moment, he was the only one in the store, and his voice echoed:
"My name is Huang Ashan, and I was still farming in the countryside of Shunde that year, and my cousin Luo Yaqiang suddenly came to me early in the morning and asked me, 'Do you want to marry a wife?'"
Wife, who doesn't want to.
Then my cousin told me the news that those good men in the Xuange camp were going to fight the ghosts and let people help carry the cannons; As long as it is carried to the ground, give as much silver as you want......"
That's right! The above looks like a forty-year-old Lao Guang.
It was in the last mission world that he set off from Huangjia Village and went to Humen with a group of uncles and nephews to carry cannons, and finally joined the team temporarily and participated in that artillery battle.
Even after 19 years, everything that happened in just a few days is still vivid in his mind.
Now, after talking slowly, every detail is detailed and exciting, successfully dragging the emotions of everyone in the store into that stormy and passionate just a few days.
In Huang Acan's narration, they sometimes smiled knowingly because of the frizziness and lack of knowledge of a peasant boy.
Sometimes, because of the unity of the people at that time, the scene of preparing for the war with cannons was very exciting.
Sometimes because of the fierce battle, his fists were clenched tightly, and there was an indescribable nervous look on his face, worried about the fate of Huang Acan and others.
Of course, some of the people who were still among them, after suddenly thinking of something, began to have a thoughtful expression on their faces.
It can be said that in this process, they have all kinds of emotions, but they don't remember drinking and eating.
And the reason why so many travelers in the store have such a strong reaction is actually very simple:
Under the influence of fate, or the manipulation of the system, there are also Hu Biao and other people who did their best in the last task.
There are more than 50 people in the store, and they are all after hearing the news that the Xuan Ge camp appeared at Bali Bridge.
Not thousands of miles, or even farther, for Hu Biao, they rushed here.
And among these people from all over the world, with different accents in their mouths, and on the surface, they seem to have different identities such as scholars, hawkers, merchants, bald masters, Taoists, and Jianghu people, there are really some big people.
Some are big names now, and some will become big names in the future.
For example, the old man Zuo with an accent in Hunan Province is actually the future at the age of 63, who still carries the coffin and goes out to recover the 1.6 million square kilometers of Zuo Gong in the frontier.
Zuo Gong was born with a bright nature, less ambitious, and won the promotion at the age of 20, but unfortunately his later development was not very smooth.
waited until he was thirty-eight years old this year, when he was a bandit in the mouth of the Daqing Imperial Court, after breaking through the Jiangnan camp.
finally has a four-pin Jingtang alternate status, with Zeng shaving his head to do military affairs; And in Hunan Province, a force of 5,000 people was formed, called the 'Chu Army'.
At present, his Chu army was originally in Anqing at a critical time when he was fighting with the bandits along with other teams of the Hunan army.
However, after hearing the news that the Xuange camp had broken the Yin Law Alliance at Bali Bridge again, Zuo Gong left everything around him and secretly came to Beijing with a few personal soldiers under the entrustment of Zeng Shaved and Li Hongzhang.
If the reason is investigated, it can only be said that whether it is Zeng shaved his head, or Li Hongzhang, or Zuo Gong.
Although they were baptized by some ideas of Confucianism of 'a son of heaven and a courtier', they did not have the intention of overthrowing Daqing.
But instinctively, I am also full of admiration for Hu Biao, who pursues the Zhengshuo of the Han family.
More importantly, they are like a group of self-taught people who are full of confusion.
After self-study for several years, I feel that the self-study effect is not very good, and I want to find a qualified teacher to ask for advice and solve some doubts in my heart.
Among them, there are: Why did this Celestial Empire become like this?
In their opinion, the powerful powers were almost desperate, why was the Xuange Battalion able to defeat them so easily.
They tried their best, but it was so difficult to even pacify some bandits?
In the face of great changes unseen in 3,000 years, they naturally understand that they need to make changes and carry out some foreign innovations to make everything better.
It's just that such an innovation should start from which aspect is more appropriate.
More crucially, why do they want to do something about it, but there is opposition everywhere; There is a point about this, how to break the ......
That twenty-three or four-year-old is an extraordinary Taoist.
It is the current Hunan Army Group where Zuo Gong is located, an opponent who is eager to kill him quickly, the King of the Bandits, alias Chen Yucheng of the 'Four-Eyed Dog'.
As a key figure in the mouth of the imperial court, he was originally leading the army to fight in Hubei Province at the moment.
It is planned to use such means to contain the energy of the Hunan army, so as to relieve the huge pressure on this side in Anqing, a strategic place.
But after hearing the news, he immediately handed over the military affairs to his subordinates.
It's just that after bringing a few henchmen and guards, all dressed as Taoist priests, they also came to Beijing secretly.
Daring to do so, he joined the bandits as a 'boy soldier' at the age of fourteen.
On the other hand, it is also a bit helpless to come.
Don't look at it now, they occupy the land of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the momentum seems to be the same for a while.
However, only he, the sober-minded young high-level executives, can see some huge crises contained in the scene of flowers and brocade and cooking oil.
Therefore, he came to talk about cooperation with Xuan Geying and discuss the matter of fighting against the Blue Demon.
If the people of the Xuange camp can agree, it will naturally be the best result; The leader of Hu Biao named them the 'King of Heaven side by side', and the other members are also the affairs of various kings, which is definitely not just talking.
If not, learn their dragon slaying skills.
Specifically, Chen Yucheng has always had a huge doubt in his heart, that is, why can ordinary people burst out with such amazing power in the hands of Xuange Camp?
Presumably, it must be the people of the Xuange camp who have mastered the legendary 'dragon slaying technique'; as long as they learn a few points, why worry about those green demons not being destroyed."
In addition to the above two people, there is a pair of characters dressed in the store.
The dry old man among them is actually Zhang Fuhai, that is, the deputy of Shui Wei in the pawnshop of the Demon Capital.
The two of them, on the orders of the concubine and others, first took a fast boat from the waterway to Jinmen, and then rode a fast horse through Tongzhou, and then pretended to be Jianghu Langzhong to prepare to enter Beijing.
The rest of the people in the store, although they do not have any prominent and special status at present, are also after receiving ideological enlightenment.
With all kinds of questions and doubts, some seekers rushed here.
The doubts in their hearts, he seemed to vaguely understand some of them in Huang Acan's narration.
It's like a layer of window paper in the middle, and there is no way to completely peek into the whole picture, so that they can think through it thoroughly.
For a while, the idea of asking Xuange Camp in person became stronger and stronger in their hearts......
******
"Because of my injuries, I had to stay in the wounded barracks to recuperate, and I was unable to participate in the battle of Baietan; The content of the second half of the above statement is to listen to some of the statements from the mouths of some other township parties who participated in the war.
However, their statement should be very different. ”
With such a passage, Huang Acan finally ended the narration in his mouth.
Because the process is too exciting; There is also Huang Ashan's mental journey as a farmer participant at that time, so that these people can gain something.
Anyway, everyone present lost their interest in speaking.
After more than ten minutes of this situation, the three scholars raised the wine glass in their hands and raised it to Huang Acan.
He said solemnly: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and the students have been taught today."
Here, please allow the three of us to toast Huang Zhuangshi for a cup and congratulate the artillery battle in Shiziyang that day~"
Seeing this, Huang Acan hurriedly raised his wine glass and drank this cup with the three of them.
After putting down the wine glass, a scholar led by him asked again: "Huang Zhuangshi, I don't know what you plan to do next?" Rest assured, we don't mean anything else.
Just wanted to see if there was anything we could do to help; Tonight's everything will never be said. ”
In the previous narration, not only other people figured out something, but even Huang Acan also figured out some things and made some decisions.
After smiling, it became indescribably open-minded.
said lightly: "It's okay, in fact, it's okay to say it."
Since I participated in the battle of the Xuange camp that year, I can no longer farm in the countryside of Shunde with peace of mind, so I took the money given by the Xuange camp and went to Yangcheng to start a business.
Although he also made some money, he even married and had children.
But after understanding some truths and the whole person is no longer so muddy, life is not happy, and I always feel very aggrieved.
Now the heroes of the Xuange camp are besieged in the Old Summer Palace.
I, Huang Acan, am alone, although I am single and weak, I have to fight to the death; As the ancestors said, a gentleman has something to do and something not to do.
Or, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go there~"
The voice in Huang Acan's mouth was not loud, but after it fell in the hearts of others, it was as shocking as thunder.
After saying all this, Huang Acan stood up, took out a piece of silver weighing five taels from his arms, threw it at Wang Laosan, and said a sentence in his mouth:
"Shopkeeper, this is the money for rice."
After instinctively taking it, Wang Laosan reacted.
hurriedly shouted out of his mouth: "Huang Ye, where do you want so many ......?"
He didn't finish a word in his mouth, and it just stopped abruptly; Because after throwing out the silver, Huang Acan had already turned around and strode towards the door.
left a sentence in his mouth: "Forget it, the wine of the Ling family is good and strong, so it should be rewarded to you; Besides, I won't need it anymore. ”
What made Wang Laosan even more shocking was still to come.
After Huang Acan's figure completely disappeared from everyone's eyes, the young Taoist smiled and didn't say anything in his mouth.
also threw down a piece of silver on the table, took a few strong Taoist priests around him, and went straight out of the door, chasing in the direction of Huang Acan.
It is already self-evident that they are going to do something.
And their actions have triggered a series of chain reactions.
In the casual time, Wang Laosan's guests didn't speak to each other at all, and they didn't even glance at each other, but they made the same action.
No one threw down any copper coins to settle the bill, but threw out all the pieces of silver, which were more than the money for wine and food.
Then he got up and walked into the night, heading in the direction of the Old Summer Palace.
Including the three scholars who seemed to be helpless, they also went out laughing after drinking the wine in one gulp.
After a while, after putting away all the silver, Wang Laosan found that there were as many as a hundred taels, which was probably better than what he had earned in the past one or two years.
Just looking at this large sum of silver, Wang Laosan's heart was in addition to some inexplicable tragedy and impulsiveness.
It's just that there is no such surprise as there should be after making money.
In the end, the owner of this small shop wrapped up all the silver and gently placed it next to his daughter-in-law, who was already sleeping with her little daughter in the backyard.
With a kitchen knife, he also went out with him.
All of the above seems to be magical.
But if you think about it seriously, it doesn't seem too outrageous; It can be regarded as Hu Biao's fighting, sacrifice, inheritance, etc. in the last mission, after nineteen years, it finally came to fruition.
In the words of the masters: a drink and a peck, it is not predetermined, and there must be a cause for the cause of the orchid......
