Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 07 The newcomers enter the table to drink and talk, and the old friends come to the fore
An Xiaoyi is used to getting up early, so he has to go to the Yanyu Building to work today, so he got up earlier, and by the way, he went to the river to wash his body. Back in the temple, Su Baiqing still slept very soundly. He lit a fire and smoked the half of the pig's head that he had not eaten last night. Su Baiqing slowly opened his eyes, thinking that he was attracted by the smell of meat. She had been too scared to bite the pig's head earlier last night, but after just a small bite, she had no scruples. Su Baiqing stared at the pig's head and kept swallowing his saliva.
The two of them gnawed on the pig's head meat alternately, and ate it with a greasy mouth, very satisfied. An Xiaoyi leaned against the wall and rubbed her stomach with her hands. Su Baiqing watched from the sidelines, and she also followed his example, and she suddenly found that it was very comfortable to touch her stomach like this after eating. So the two of them rubbed their stomachs while burping, followed three circles, and gently patted them twice, and so on, which was quite useful.
The two came to the backyard of the wind and rain building in the dark, only to see that the lights had already been lit here, An Xiaoyi recognized Brother Li Zi at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted softly, and the two were pulled into the courtyard. This plum is surnamed Li Mingzi, I heard that his mother was pregnant with her when she was good at eating plums, and it happened that his father was surnamed Li, so it was very casual, and there was one more plum in the family. Aunt Gu asked people to prepare two clean clothes overnight, and Li Zi handed the clothes to the two.
"Isn't my brother going to the front to greet the guests?"
Plum laughed,
"That Fu Bo ran to the backyard last night to theorize, and was scolded by Aunt Gu again, and finally said that he would leave your brother by his side and do nothing, and he would not be called for him. ”
An Xiaoyi was also amused, asked about the location of the firewood room, and went over with Su Baiqing to change clothes. Su Baiqing originally wanted An Xiaoyi to guard outside the door, so she changed first, but Unexpectedly, An Xiaoyi dragged her in together.
"We're brothers, so it doesn't seem appropriate to come in together. An Xiaoyi smirked, Su Baiqing blushed, turned his head to Chaimen, and hid behind him to quickly change his clothes. An Xiaoyi also quickly changed and carefully folded the patched clothes. The two shirts are for adults, An Xiaoyi is burly, but not too wide, and Bai Qing is very loose.
"This, throw it away......" Su Baiqing looked at the shirt, a little unnatural.
"I can't lose it, my brother sewed it for me as a novice, and he also had a lot of stitches in his ass!"
Su Baiqing's face was slightly red, but her heart was full of joy.
"Brother Xiaoyi, I wanted to tell you last night, in fact, I don't want to be in Yanyu Building, I want to learn needlework from my mother-in-law, or, or to learn some skills to save lives and help the wounded. ”
An Xiaoyi was stunned, and understood what she meant,
"Well, I'll talk to Aunt Gu later. ”
When the two came to the back kitchen, they were really shocked. I saw that the kitchen was huge, about twenty feet long, and there was a row of five or six huge earthen stoves with chimneys standing aside. Behind each stove was a pile of dry firewood, stacked to the height of most of a person. Several stoves are already steaming, and large bamboo steamers are stacked high. All kinds of meat and vegetables on the counter against the wall, and the oversized board is placed one by one.
Aunt Gu was already busy with her work, and when she saw these two half-grown children, she instantly smiled. She glanced at the black boy first, and then looked at the clothes in his hands and the black stick behind his back in confusion. She looked at Su Baiqing again and smiled slightly. Su Baiqing explained the situation to her, she nodded, and said softly,
"Girls, it's good to learn some needlework. ”
Both were shocked. Su Baiqing's face turned red,
"Aunt Gu, how can you see it at a glance. ”
"You Aunt Gu and I, what kind of person haven't I seen. In the future, I don't work here, but I often come over to play and chat with my aunt. Look at this girl's handsomeness, this little dimple really loves to death. Aunt Gu touched Su Baiqing's red little face, and she liked it tightly. A few guys giggled, thinking that this Aunt Gu was flirting with the beautiful guy again.
On this day, Aunt Gu kept Su Baiqing by her side, saying that she wanted to stay and play with her for a few more days. This Bai Qing is the same as Xiao Yi, her mouth is also very sweet, and she called the guys in the backyard after a while, but she is not like Xiao Yi, who can remember those many people at once.
On the first day of this Xiaoyi's visit, Aunt Gu didn't arrange for him to do things, just let him get familiar with the situation here, but he was very good at doing things, and if he could help, he didn't need to explain at all, so he went up. When Aunt Gu was busy, Su Baiqing followed behind Xiao Yi and asked this and that. There were suddenly these two and a half children in this courtyard, and it was a lot more lively. These two children have easy-going personalities and are willing to contribute, and anyone will like them, not to mention that Aunt Gu is so affectionate to the two.
It's been a busy day, and the people in the backyard are exhausted. Two large wooden planks were erected in the courtyard, and everyone in the backyard sat around two tables, and the food was served one after another, and everyone was unceremoniously swallowed in large gulps. Aunt Gu pulled Xiao Yi Baiqing to her side and sat down, and the two of them didn't twist, picked up the bowl and ate it. Aunt Gu looked at the two children lovingly, and kept serving vegetables for the two. Old Uncle Gu came out with a jar of sake, and first brought a bowl by himself, it seems that he still prefers spirits, and he is afraid that he can drink a few jars of sake. Old Uncle Gu said loudly,
"One bowl per person, not many. ”
A few good wine guys came over with bowls, and one of them poured a bowl, most of them took a sip first, and they also knew that this good wine had to be drunk slowly.
"Old Uncle Gu, can you bring me a bowl too!" An Xiaoyi said softly.
"You can drink it like a big kid?" Old Gu Bo glanced at him,
"Come, full. ”
An Xiaoyi sniffed the wine in the cup and yelled,
"Good wine. ”
Everyone was startled by his voice, and then they all burst into laughter.
"Good wine, good wine, come and drink one!"
An Xiaoyi picked up the bowl and said loudly,
"My brother and I came to the precious land, without relatives or reason, thanks to you for not giving up, we will do our best to repay in the future. From now on, I will treat this place as my home, and don't treat me as an outsider. I respect the old Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, as well as uncles and uncles, big brothers and sisters. "After that, I drank it all.
Everyone was shocked, and after a while, there was a lot of noise, and the sound of wine bowls colliding was endless.
The thin monkey also asked for a bowl, and slowly sighed, he sat down next to Xiao Yi,
"Xiao Yi, how do you speak, it's a little weird, like those who stink!"
"That's what I heard in Grandpa's stories, and I didn't know what to say for a while, so I had to say a few words randomly. Xiao Yi touched his head embarrassedly, and his face began to flush at this time, and continued,
"Brother Monkey, what's your real name, won't it be ......?"
"When I was a child, someone seemed to call me Ahua, and I didn't know what my surname was for a long time. If it weren't for Old Uncle Gu, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. Later, everyone called me Little Monkey, and I got used to it. ”
"Then I'll call you Brother Ah Hua from now on!"
I saw that the thin monkey poured most of the wine in the bowl into the small bowl, he usually didn't dare to drink, today someone called him brother, he was happy, and he made an exception. The two hit the bowl and drank it all, this thin monkey has been looked down upon since birth, and today can be regarded as a pride.
Xiao Yi and Bai Qing haven't had a good meal for a long time, and the food in the back kitchen of this big restaurant is not much worse than that of many rich and noble people, so they both have bulging stomachs and are satisfied. The two of them were about to leave after helping to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but they were pulled by Aunt Gu.
"I'll stay in this firewood house for a night today, and I'll find a place for you two to live tomorrow. ”
"Aunt Gu, you don't have to worry about this, the place where we live is very good!" After speaking, the two of them rushed out of the door.
"It's so dark, you two be careful!"
"Got it!"
"These two kids. Aunt Gu smiled slightly and shook her head slightly.
The two of them lay in the temple, rubbing their stomachs with their hands, enjoying it very much. For them, after a busy day, there is such a small place of their own, not too big, can accommodate the body, but also shelter from the wind and rain, there is nothing more to ask for.
In the next few days, Su Baiqing was pulled by Aunt Gu's side, and the day of learning needlework was postponed indefinitely. An Xiaoyi was busy in the backyard all day long, and he was also in a hot fight with those front desk juniors. Occasionally, he will help serve the food, and the guests will be curious about this guy with a black stick on his back, but there are not too many times like this, and there are not many inquiries about the rivers and lakes. However, listening to a few Xiao Er, every time there are big festivals and gatherings in this restaurant, there will be a lot of people from the rivers and lakes coming, which makes Xiao Yi itch. This is only two days is August 15, you must know that the Great Song Dynasty and Dali have frequent exchanges in recent years, and the Great Song Dynasty businessmen can be seen everywhere, if there is a festival, they will generally invite local gentry to get together in the restaurant. Thinking about this Mid-Autumn Festival, Yanyulou will definitely be lively.
The thin monkey said that the proprietress was also coming back, which made Xiao Yi's heart flutter. Thinking that he An Xiaoyi came to the restaurant for more than ten days, he only heard that the proprietress was beautiful and full of charm, and many people came to the restaurant to eat and drink just to see her. He glanced back at the thin monkey, his heart was not good, the thin monkey was afraid that something was wrong, he poked the thin monkey hard, and the thin monkey came back to his senses, smiled and walked away.
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are more and more drinkers in the evening, and the restaurant is a lively scene. Xiao Er greeted the guests back and forth, and the wine was brought out in a jar, and the drinkers shouted for good wine and raised their glasses to drink, so that they were angry and angry! I don't know when there were many more people in the lobby, everyone wore weapons, and the ordinary people who were practical at the time were all quickly avoided, and some of them were bold and wanted to see more, but they were also made trembling by the loud voices of several times more arrogant drinking. Most of these good-looking people like to toast in front of the public, without any regard for others, so the location in this lobby has become the most sought-after.
I saw four people sitting at a table in the middle, with black scarves wrapped around their heads, all with thick shoulders and round waists, and they were really practicing their families. The diners at the next table are also dressed similarly, and they should all be all the way. It is also a rare scene to gather so many heroes in this county capital. There are also many people sitting in the window and the wine table on the second floor, and it can be seen that this scene is full of solemnity, and everyone knows that this group of people is not easy to mess with. After the four people came in and sat down, the surrounding diners all got up to check out or change tables to other positions, only one scholar in white was still sitting next to these four big men, one occupied a table, and ignored a few people. The last group of strong men sat around the scholar, and from time to time looked at the scholar, and the scholar was not afraid, but just sipped his wine lightly, and shouted "good wine" from time to time, and the scene was very funny.
At this moment, a handsome boy strode over, followed by two strong men, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and he thought that he was also a master, and a treasure silver sword in his hand was very eye-catching, and it must be a hand-me-down double sword. I saw that the boy was dressed luxuriously, with jade in his waist and an iron fan in his hand, although the match was simple, but looking at his bearing, he was definitely not an ordinary rich and noble son.
"'Xiangmen Sijie' is really extraordinary, the boy Shijie has seen several brothers. ”
The people in the audience were all shocked, and a few of them had already gotten up, ready to stay away from this place. The four brothers of the Xiang family can also be regarded as the number one person in this Dali country, several of them are from military backgrounds, and they have trained themselves in martial arts from the battlefield, with ruthless methods and violent personalities. Although there are also elites among those famous factions, how can they be compared with these people who have fought bloodily on the battlefield for many years. On the battlefield, you can't stop at the point, either you die or I live, so those so-called people in the rivers and lakes are often better than the veterans who survived on the battlefield. On the other hand, people in the military often get mixed up when they go to the rivers and lakes.
One of the four gently waved to the son, who continued,
"I was in a hurry, and I couldn't greet you well, which was a mistake under the order. I also asked a few brothers to measure the original amount. ”
The big man who took the lead lifted the big bowl, drank all the wine in the bowl, and said,
"We rough people don't have so many courtesies, as long as we have a bowl of good wine. The boy of the Liu family, find a place to sit down at will, only drink tonight, and don't talk about things. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Seeing that the four of them were sitting on one side, and had no intention of sharing the seats, he consciously walked towards the scholar, he looked at the scholar and laughed softly,
"Can this boy change the table?" After speaking, he put down a large silver ingot on the table, and someone suddenly whispered.
The scholar didn't pay attention to it, just picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, and slowly drank the next glass of wine. The son of the Liu family put down another piece, but the scholar still ignored it.
"This Liu Gongzi is right, come to our table, everyone squeeze their butts and drink together!" The four Jie's subordinates shouted, and in an instant, they all cried out, and they wanted to move a place for that Liu Gongzi. The visitors on this floor were all stunned by this scene, and they were all curious about who this scholar was. Liu Gongzi was annoyed in his heart, but he just hugged his fists to everyone, and then sat down gently opposite the scholar quite gracefully, and the two strong men holding swords lined up on both sides and did not sit down.
"This brother must not mind. ”
The scholar took a sip of his wine and slowly replied,
"Isn't it redundant for you to sit down and ask me?"
The son of the Liu family smiled lightly and didn't say anything to him again.
After that, everyone only cared about drinking, and no one paid attention to the white-clothed scholar anymore. The son of the Liu family drinks very well, and when he encounters a toast, he does not refuse, so the four heroes of the Xiang family are afraid that they are also impressed by him. Many of the other drinkers thought that someone would fight, but at this time, they had already let go of their arms, and the sound of drinking and punching was endless. The restaurant was lively again, and An Xiaoyi also served a few jars of wine for the big men, but he couldn't take a closer look at the four heroes of the Xiang family.
"Brothers, it's almost time today, don't get down to business. "Sijie hugged his fist to the son of the Liu family,
"Liu Gongzi, thank you for your hospitality. Your business, rest assured, death will give you an explanation!"
That Liu Gongzi bent down and clenched his fists, and did enough courtesy,
"It's easy to say, and I have to rely on my brothers in the future. The rest of the matters have been arranged, brothers, so let me go. After speaking, Liu Gongzi led everyone out of the Yanyu Building. There was one person left in the center of the lobby, and it was the white-clothed scholar. I saw that he was not in a hurry, slowly pouring the wine into the glass, as if nothing had happened just now.
After a while, other customers walked into the store and filled the empty tables left by the group of big men.
After a while, most of the tables had been cleaned up by Xiao Er, leaving only a few tables of guests, including the white-clothed scholar in the middle of the lobby. He had been battling the jug all night, and had never said a word, mostly just pouring himself or staring at the glass.
It was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight was like a wash, scattered in the world, and several window tables were illuminated. Suddenly, there was a wild laugh from outside the building,
"The full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time to kill. Hahaha!" a slender old man in coarse cloth blue and black clothes slowly walked into the Yanyu Building. He stood in the middle of the hall, looked around, and finally focused his gaze on the scholar in white.
"Boy, do you want to eat grandpa's sword. I saw the old man draw his sword and examine it carefully.
"Then it's coming. The old man smiled and handed out a sword, stabbing straight at the scholar's back, the scholar's body trembled, but he couldn't move, and he couldn't avoid it.
An Xiaoyi saw it seriously, shouted, and ran towards that direction. Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to break into the scholar's body, a clear sound slashed, and then an object hit the tip of the sword, and the sword body was crooked, so that it could miss the scholar's arm. I saw that the thing fell to the ground, and it bounced a few times before it regained its calm, a golden bell, which seemed to be a woman's belongings.
"This hero, my Yanyu Building is only for food and lodging, not a place for fighting!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a luxurious lady slowly walk into the lobby, she took off her cloak and handed it to Xiao Er, the breeze gently lifted her hair, lining a quiet face even more beautifully. There were two golden bells on the gold bracelet on her right hand, which seemed to have a small gap, and it was thought that it was the thing that had just hit the long sword.
An Xiaoyi stopped, let go of the black stick in his hand, and watched what was happening in the lobby. This is the rivers and lakes he has ever dreamed of seeing, and his chest is undulating and excited. What's more, this woman is incomparably beautiful, dressed in light purple, like a person outside the world, and is not stained with any dust. She was plump, and a woman had all that she should have, and the crests of the waves rose like ripe peaches, so that all men had the urge to take a bite, lest the young children, who had no experience of the world, would cry out for hunger when they saw it. When An Xiaoyi saw this situation, she also swallowed her saliva slightly.
"Haha, that's kind of interesting. ”
The old man put away his sword and sat down opposite the scholar.
"I thought that this scholar was deeply hidden, but how did I know that this Yanyu Building was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Lady you are really hospitable, come on, pour a glass of sake for the old man. ”
An Xiaoyi stared at the woman, seeing that she was only about thirty, how could she think that it was the person who had been running the restaurant for twenty years. The woman was not angry, she took a bowl from the young hand, picked up a small jar of sake, slowly moved to the table, and poured the wine into the bowl until the bowl was overflowing. The scholar buried his face under the table, not daring to lift it again.
"Old man Fan Renliang, why is it that the older you get, the more your temper grows, dancing with knives and guns all day long, the impression on the younger generations is not very good!"
The rest of the people in the rivers and lakes were all shocked, and no one could have imagined that this unattractive old man was actually a well-known killer! There was once a good deed who made this Dali country killer a ranking, and An Xiaoyi had also heard of it, this Fan Renliang, ranked third, and he could be regarded as killing countless people. Although he is only ranked third, he is free and easy, and he does not kill other people's lives at will, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes is not bad. I heard that he has a habit of killing people, and he will let his opponent know in advance when to come to take his life. So far, none of the people he wants to kill have been able to escape, but this old man's methods are powerful. However, if you want the old man to make a move, I'm afraid that it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
A female voice said softly, the timbre was moving, just listening to this voice, I was going to get drunk,
"Old man Fan, if I hadn't made a move just now, I think this kid would be fine, at least he wouldn't have lost his life here. ”
Fan Renliang looked at the sword he was carrying with him and replied,
"Haha, it's also his luck to die under my sword. I just wanted to see if this kid had any real skills, and as expected, he didn't know anything. Haha, it's kind of interesting, kind of funny. ”
The old man finished his drink and motioned for the woman to fill it up.
And the woman, in graceful manner, poured out the wine, and said to him,
"It's rare, but old man, why did you come to this rural place, is there still a role that the old man can look up to?"
The old man shook his head, smiled, and replied,
"The old man is free for half his life, and when he has no money, he kills someone to play, which is also happy. Isn't this the money spent, and this is okay, so here it is. ”
The woman was a little curious, and asked playfully,
"I should know you!"
The old man coughed dryly,
"People are called big heads, and I don't know how big this head is! ”
The woman nodded, and said,
"In this way, it is not this scholar that you want to kill, but that Xu Shixun? And this Xu head is in the Liu family. ”
The old man picked up the wine bowl, looked at the wine in the bowl, and replied,
"Exactly,"
He drank half a bowl of wine in one gulp, and he couldn't finish talking,
"I'll drink this half bowl when I come back!"
After speaking, Fan Renliang's figure flashed, and soon disappeared, showing his killer demeanor. Xiao Yi wanted to stop it, but he rushed out the door, but there was no one again, so he had to return to the restaurant. Thinking about the killer, he usually hides in the shadows, so that the opponent can't guard against it, but this one is afraid that others will not know, and he is also extremely conceited.
"The door is always open for you. ”
The woman shouted out the door, and poured herself another bowl of wine, which she drank half of and said softly,
"Lift your head up. ”
The white-clothed scholar raised his head, looked at her and smiled awkwardly,
"Sister. ”
