Chapter 13: I'll give you face
When the man spoke, his eyes were staring at the umbrella in Ye Sanqi's hand, as if he wanted to see something famous.
At that time, Chinese people rarely carried an umbrella when they went out, and only foreigners would go out with an umbrella.
In Europe, especially in England, the umbrella is not only regarded as a status symbol, but also a sign of a gentleman.
At that time, there were many foreigners in China, and there were many people who learned from foreigners, and many people didn't care what clothes they were wearing, so they gave themselves a long-handled umbrella. However, this is also convenient for those who are accustomed to using umbrella-shaped blades.
The man was looking to see if Ye Sanqi was holding a weapon like a Tiangang umbrella.
Ye Sanqi didn't bother to talk to the other party, sat on the sliding rod carried by those few people, and knocked on the side of the sliding rod with an umbrella a few times: "Let's go!" ”
The eight people on the other side carried the sliding rod out of the town and sped up, and several of them were faster than horses, even on the mountain.
Eight people carried me and Ye Sanqi for nearly an hour before they stopped at the edge of a mountain road, and I faintly heard the sound of water from a long distance, and the mountain road should lead to the river.
Eight people stood carrying a sedan chair, and a few more people came out of the woods on the side of the road, and the leader walked to the sliding pole with a black cloth, and saluted respectfully: "Qi Ye, I have offended." ”
Ye Sanqi looked at the other party: "This cup of rhino town is one hundred and eighty miles away, I am more familiar than you, can I use this?" ”
On Jianghu Road, the black cloth blindfold is the rule for entering the lobby of the other party. But this kind of rule can only be used on the green forest road, in order to prevent people from seeing what is famous on the way to the entrance of the green forest hall.
The name "Green Forest Road" comes from the "Green Forest Army", a rebel army in the late Western Han Dynasty, and later refers to the people in the rivers and lakes who gather in the mountains and forests and fall into the grass.
Later, the "Green Forest" included all the people who were bandits on both land and water.
The one-eyed Jiao and the White Fish Gang who came during the day were both people who ate this bowl of green forest rice.
"The white fish at the tip of the waves is at the bottom of the water, and the rivers and seas are floating in the palm of their hands." is talking about the three families of Lvlin Tangkou, who are eating in the water, and they are also in the rules.
When Ye Sanqi asked this, he stumped the other party.
Strictly speaking: the entrance of the black Jiao is not in this area. They sent someone to put a blindfold on Ye Sanqi, which was a rule and wanted this face.
The leader said: "Master Qi, what you said is right, but we also have to talk about it!" You're old, you can't make it difficult for the little ones, right? ”
Ye Sanqi said: "I will give you face, and you have to give me face." My apprentice, don't wear a blindfold. ”
"This ......," the man was about to speak, when someone next to him whispered a few words to him. The other party smiled and said: "Qi Ye gives face, of course we have to carry it." Come and wait for the curious man. ”
The man thought that I had just followed Ye Sanqi for a few days, and there would be no danger, so he nodded and gave Ye Sanqi this face.
When those people carried us inside, Ye Sanqi's voice came from my ears: "Pay attention to your surroundings, don't panic for a while and run to the wrong place." ”
Ye Sanqi was obviously on the sliding pole in front of me, about five or six meters away from me, but he seemed to be lying on my ear and talking, and his voice couldn't be softer.
I didn't care about how Ye Sanqi managed to speak in my ear, and his two eyes looked straight at the side of the road.
The road was not very long, but there were a few people hiding at intervals, and I did a rough calculation, and there were forty or fifty people hiding on this road alone.
Those people carried us to the big boat docked at the water's edge before untying Ye Sanqi's blindfold. The one-eyed Jiao was the first to come up and hug his fists and said, "Mr. Ye, I'm offended." ”
"I put the wine of atonement in the boat, and I asked the gentleman to appreciate it."
Ye Sanqi nodded and raised his legs and walked into the cabin, there were eight people on the table with the one-eyed Jiao in the cabin, except for the one-eyed Jiao with a little smile, the others were either a little hostile, or full of arrogance, and they didn't take Ye Sanqi in their eyes at all.
Ye Sanqi was drinking and eating meat there with a calm demeanor, and he didn't even look at those people.
A young man with a tattoo on his face looked at Ye Sanqi with slanted eyes for a long time, picked up a peanut and threw it at Ye Sanqi: "Hey, haven't you eaten?" ”
Ye Sanqi held chopsticks in one hand and shook the peanut in the air: "Didn't your father teach you the rules?" ”
The one-eyed Jiao shouted, "Qingzi, what are you doing?" Why are there no rules at all? Make amends to Mr. Ye. ”
Qingzi's hand was originally a temptation. When he played peanuts, he had a dark energy in his hands, and the peanuts flew over, and it was easy to dodge, but it was difficult to follow.
Moreover, Qingzi used his hands, Ye Sanqi used chopsticks, he took advantage of it, Ye Sanqi not only took the peanuts lightly, but also what the peanuts looked like when they flew in, and what they looked like when they were next, the skin was not broken, the flesh was not broken, and even the salt flowers on it did not fall a few pieces. The two sides made a verdict.
It is common to test each other's depths in the rivers and lakes, and after trying, one party stands up to make amends, and the other party laughs away, and everyone has face.
When Qingzi stood up and raised his glass with both hands to apologize to Ye Sanqi, Ye Sanqi didn't seem to know that there was such a person around him, who should eat and drink, and directly left the person there.
Qingzi is not standing or sitting with a cup, his face is blue for a while, red for a while, and his eyes are looking at the one-eyed Jiao's face one by one.
The one-eyed Jiao's face was also difficult to see, but it couldn't attack, and the atmosphere in the cabin was not only extremely embarrassing, but also brought a bit of gunpowder.
Someone in the cabin coughed twice and wanted to speak, but someone outside knocked on the door and said, "Big boss, it's time to get to the ground." ”
Only then did the one-eyed Jiao stand up and said, "Mr. Ye, the place where the coffin sinks has arrived, let's go and have a look together?" ”
"Okay!" Ye Sanqi put down the cup and walked out, and I hurriedly followed behind Ye Sanqi.
When I saw the scene outside the cabin, I was dumbfounded, and from the boat I could only see the endless waves of water, where was this in the river, and I clearly entered a large lake on the top of a mountain!
I felt dizzy when I looked at the waves in the water that seemed to be stirred by yellow mud, and then I looked down at the boat, but I saw that our boat was stopped on a clean water.
This piece of water, which is so clear that you can see the bottom, is like a demon god who has forcibly hollowed out a piece of turbid water and forcibly injected pure water.
People who eat water rice have a saying: If you are not afraid of mixing under the water, you are afraid of turbidity and clearing. That means there's something amazing hidden under the water.
