Chapter 38: It's hard for a man without money

"I want to eat sugar gourds."

Qu Feiyan took Chen Cheng's left hand and said. And Chen Cheng's other hand led the little mare to wander around Changsha City.

After two days of recuperation, the trio continued their journey.

In the meantime, another wave of Iron Palm Gang guys was dispatched, and once again reiterated that now that the thing is in the hands of Sun Sanba, the rumors about the ownership of the thing have finally fermented enough.

Chen Cheng has given birth a lot now, and he doesn't have to go out with Ma Chunhua's clumsy and uncomfortable makeup.

Chen Cheng glanced at the roadside vendor and said, "I want to eat too." ”

Qu Feiyan stalled his hand: "I don't have any money." ”

Chen Cheng also spread his hands: "I don't have any money." ”

"Ugh—" both men sighed.

"Why don't I buy it for you?" Ma Chunhua looked at the two children, one older and one younger, and sighed lightly.

Chen Cheng hesitated slightly, and Qu Feiyan waved his hand: "Forget it." ”

No way, now they really don't have any money. Before, Chen Cheng felt that he had a lot of money, but he used most of it to buy horses, and insisted on paying Shi Jinniu the purchase fee, and he simply returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

Give Shi Jinniu money, in fact, Ma Chunhua doesn't agree. But not only did she not object, but she happily paid for it.

His lover is a bright and upright person, and no matter how he thinks about it, it is a happy thing.

As a result, they are now wandering the streets of Changsha in search of the cheapest inn.

Finally, Chen Cheng's eyes were attracted by an inn that looked dark and unpopular, and it must be cheap enough in combination with the location of this place.

walked up and asked the price, Ma Chunhua shook her head: "So expensive?" ”

In fact, it is not expensive, they have never encountered such a cheap inn along the way. But it is far beyond their imagination, and the cost performance is not high.

It's like a bowl of braised pork costs 100 yuan, and you can't afford to eat it. was ready to retreat to the next best place to ask for a bowl of rice, and it actually cost eighty wen. It's a bit uncomfortable.

The shopkeeper glanced at the three of them weakly: "Then don't live here." ”

Ma Chunhua was choked, and she felt a little unhappy, but she had no money to say about it.

Chen Cheng is not the kind of neurotic traverser who shouts "Don't bully the poor young man" when his face changes, and then kills the whole family, so he can only laugh.

The shopkeeper said, "I'm not mocking you. but to show you the way. Look, you are also people from the rivers and lakes. Who is the most famous Jianghu person in Changsha City? It is the head of the Kowloon faction, Mr. Yi Jiyi. You just happened to have it on his fiftieth birthday. Tomorrow will be a three-day feast for guests. You just say that the colleagues in the rivers and lakes who have come to celebrate from afar will definitely be well treated. ”

Chen Cheng and Ma Chunhua glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and said, "Then ...... tomorrow morning."

The shopkeeper interrupted him and said, "Why wait until tomorrow morning, just go now." They also provided food and lodging for friends from other places tonight. ”

After looking at each other again, both of them quickly made up their minds, asked the shopkeeper about Yi Ji's residence again, and then thanked them and left.

Looking at the backs of the two, the shopkeeper shook his head with disdain.

Not to mention that he instructed the two of them to go to Yi Ji to eat and drink together. He was really just plain kind. But he really looks down on the three poor sours who are too expensive to even live in their own shop. Especially the guy who looks pretty good, this is really a skin.

The human heart is inherently complex.

However, it was said that when Chen Cheng and the three of them came to the door of the Yi house, they saw that it was very lively. There were three or five young men at the door who were greeting them at the door. These few people are supposed to be disciples of the Nine Dragons Sect. Chen Cheng was actually thin-skinned in his previous life, and he always felt embarrassed about this kind of thing. I looked at the door for a while, and saw a person go up, and the disciples greeted him, and the person reported the sect and name, and the disciples did not verify it, but only said "long admiration and long admiration" and invited them inside.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment. This Yi Ji is such a big deal, and the original plan is to save face. The more people, the bigger the face. Among them, those who sincerely come to celebrate their birthdays are not necessarily the majority. So he let go of his shyness in his heart, took the horse forward, and asked in the words of the previous person: "This is the home of Teacher Yi, the head of the Kowloon faction." ”

This sentence is pure nonsense, coming here, how can you still be sure that this is Yi Ji's home. What's more, there is still the word "Yifu" on it? It's just that the opening remarks on the rivers and lakes have to cut in like this. It's as if the first sentence of a conversation in some places must start with "Have you eaten?"

The disciple smiled, "Exactly." ”

Chen Cheng said according to the process: "We are here to congratulate Mr. Yi on his 50th birthday. ”

The disciple smiled again: "I don't know where the two of you are heroes." ”

The heroes of the rivers and lakes are simple. In a narrow sense, those who have high martial arts or are famous are heroes. Broadly speaking, individuals are heroes, and both men and women are men. So the "two" here include Chen Cheng and Ma Chunhua. Children are not qualified to be called heroes.

Chen Cheng can't report that he is the innocent Chen Cheng of the horseman, right?

As soon as he walked these steps, he thought about how to answer, and said: "We are the dart master of the Pegasus Dart Bureau in northern Henan, passing through here, which coincides with Mr. Yi's birthday. When my master, Mr. Ma, usually talks about the heroes of the Southland, the most respected person in his life is Mr. Yi. So congratulations. ”

Ma Chunhua heard that Chen Cheng was actually playing the signboard of her own Pegasus Dart Bureau, and claimed to be her father's disciple, so she felt funny and a little happy.

"Northern Henan, Pegasus Dart Bureau. Look up for a long time. The disciple thought about it for a while, and he didn't know if he had heard of it. But the face is still very polite.

He said, "Since the two of you are friends from afar, have you stopped at the inn?" If not, stay at the house for one night. ”

His previous question was not really a question, and he probably knew what these people who came to see the ceremony the day before were reporting their thoughts. If you really ask someone to answer, if someone can't wipe off their face, it will be embarrassing.

This is a happy event, not a conference, and the picture is that everyone is happy.

At this moment, a person came out of the gate of the house: "Heh, northern Henan is the territory of the Qing Kingdom." Your hair, which is the hairstyle of the Qing Kingdom? As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color. Several disciples looked at the thin man who was talking, and their expressions were strange, and they stopped talking.

Chen Cheng really forgot about this stubble, he was slapped in the face by someone, so he had to smile: "We are the branch of the Pegasus Dart Bureau on the side of the Song Kingdom." In the next has always been the Song people. ”

The thin man looked withered, and his wine-colored wealth was estimated to be untouched. If he is in better spirits, he is actually not bad. The beard is well combed, which makes the whole person a little more civil.

He said to the disciple who welcomed him, "Your master has a great birthday, you can be a little smarter, and any person who comes will be treated as a guest." A few of you have been looking up to everyone for a long time. The surname of Pegasus Dart Bureau is Ma, which of you has heard of it? ”

Chen Cheng was originally cheating on eating and drinking, although it was embarrassing to be broken, but this was also resentful, and he originally wanted to leave. could hear the other party's insult to Ma Xingkong, so he looked at Ma Chunhua.

He doesn't know what level of words at this level is in the rivers and lakes, and how to deal with it is reasonable, wait for this daughter to talk back.

Ma Chunhua's face sank: "The head of the Pegasus Dart Bureau is called Ma Xingkong, this is my father." Known as Yum God Boxing, he is also famous in Hebei, Jin, and Henan in Chaquan. ”

The thin man didn't seem to hear it, and only said to his disciples, "Even if it is a well-known sect, it may not be free of fakes. If even if one person came and said that it was under the door of Wudang Zhang Sanfeng, or that Quanzhenqiu was under the door of the machine, would it really be a failure? ”

Ma Chunhua said at the moment: "Since Your Excellency refuses to believe it. That Pegasus Dart Bureau Ma Chunhua asks you for advice. ”

Before the thin man could speak, the disciple who had received the three of them before hurriedly haha: "Uncle Shi said yes." Uncle Shi, please come with me, two distinguished guests. ”

It turned out that the thin man was his uncle, so the thin man was the younger brother of the head of Yi Ji. This disciple obviously didn't want to fight, and no matter what, he would lose Yi Ji's face.

The thin man probably knew that it was not easy to do it, so he just begged for some cheapness in his mouth, waved his hand and walked out: "I said my words, you wish you a birthday." What's the relevance? By the way, Seventeen, you said that tomorrow is your birthday, why did anyone come today? Speaking of which, it's less than fifty today, isn't that only forty-nine? ”

He said irrelevant words in his mouth, but he had to hurt the two of them a few words.

Chen Cheng replied: "The so-called avenue is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and people are one of them." Teacher Yi will be enlightened tomorrow, and today's visit is the number of Tianyan. ”

The thin man deliberately ignored the three of them, so he walked out, and when he heard this, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the two, and then said, "Seventeen." He also took two distinguished guests to rest. And you, fourteen. Your seventeenth junior brother leads people, and you help people lead horses. If you talk about being clever and clever, why can't you be clever? ”

His deferential appearance completely confused Chen Cheng and the others.
