Four
Big brother? Their eldest brother is back? I heard that guy talk about it before, that tea was also brought by his eldest brother from Yangzhou, and tea is not ordinary tea, so this person is afraid that it will not be simple! This group of people, there must be a leader, in order to be able to succeed, Xiao Yi really wants to see where this person is sacred.
Xiao Yi stood up and looked over the river, only to see that the boat on the river had lit up three small lanterns and was slowly coming over this way. The boat is not big, and although it is going against the current, it must not be too strenuous. With these three lamps alone, the young man recognized that it was his eldest brother, and he thought that he had already made a good password! When the three lamps docked, it was already very dark this night! It seemed that all the people had come out, and the younger brothers were greeting the eldest brother, while Xiao Yi and the others were watching the excitement from the sidelines!
There is a headlight lit on this high place, Xiao Yi thought to himself, it should be a lighthouse to guide the boat, and if you light this headlight, you can see something clearly here. Everyone lit torches, stood in rows, and shouted "big brother" in unison, and the big brother jumped off the boat, and then patted the shoulders of the younger brothers one by one.
"Brothers have worked hard, we killed two sheep today and brought a lot of wine, let's not get drunk tonight!"
Under the light of the fire, the faces of Xiao Yitong Lu and the others were also clear, and the eldest brother looked at this side, and was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, there are still guests today!"
Looking behind again, there were dozens of people, and the eldest brother was full of excitement, and continued,
"Ouch, there are quite a few friends here, hurry, hurry up and rest! Brothers, bring up the sheep and prepare them for the guests!"
This eldest brother is shorter than Tong Lu, his body is not burly, and his face is delicate, like a white-faced scholar. Compared with these sturdy and dark-skinned little brothers, he really doesn't look like a fellow traveler! Xiao Yi can see that there is a hint of cunning in this person's eyes, which makes people feel unreliable, and listening to him also gives people a very unreal feeling, Xiao Yi's first impression of him is not very good!
The eldest brother was followed by a younger brother, who was also quiet in vain, he didn't help with things, he just carried a small bag and walked with his head down. As soon as the eldest brother stopped, he also stopped, and as soon as the eldest brother left, he also followed, heh, isn't he just a stupid little attendant! He lowered his head, and Xiao Yi couldn't see what he looked like, but in this way, it should not be bad! The eldest brother beckoned to Xiao Yi and the others, and then went with the little attendant.
After a while, a fire was set up on the shore and the sheep were roasted, and the taste was really wonderful. The wine had already been prepared and delivered directly to everyone, Xiao Yi held the wine, but he couldn't eat it anymore! Tong Lu and the others were also at a loss, looking at this group of people who were busy and couldn't blend in with it at all! Mo Mo and his maid had been staying by Yao'er's side, and these two teams of people were all together. felt that there was nothing to say, so Xiao Yi still lit a fire by himself and talked around the fire.
Tong Lu couldn't help shaking his head and said,
"Before this big brother came, these people were normal, but after they came, they became very different?!"
Yao'er smiled,
"I'm thinking about how much this big brother will take away if they take our money!"
Tong Lu laughed and said,
"Maybe he took more than half of it!"
Xiao Yidao,
"I always feel that something is not quite right with this big brother, and if I have the chance, I want to get to the bottom of him!"
Zhu Zhu didn't have anything to say, he looked at this and that for a while, Xiao Tao stayed by his side quietly, and rarely moved. As for Mo Mo, he was very generous and talked to a few people,
"In my opinion, the little follower behind the eldest brother may be the best entry point!"
Xiao Yi nodded in response,
"Mo Mo and I have thought of one place!"
Tong Lu also said,
"Brother Xiaoyi, I think that little follower is very good, just from the side, I feel very familiar!"
Xiao Yi asked,
"Tell me, who do you look like?!"
Tong Lu shook his head and replied,
"It's just that I vaguely feel that I can't confirm it, but I still have to look at it head-on before I can be convinced. I feel this way, he is connected to someone he knows!"
Xiao Yi nodded in response,
"Okay, okay, I'll bring him later, let's take a good look!"
The surface of the mutton was already roasted, so someone slice it off and sent it everywhere, there was still blood in it, and then smeared with some fine salt to taste, and then roasted, this way of eating, it was fast, and it was always greedy! Xiao Yi didn't eat it, but there were many of Mo Mo's five big and three thick subordinates. The way they eat like that, and two sheep may not be enough to eat! Of course, the other party also understood, so he brought a lot of dried fish to supplement it.
The food over there was lively, and the wine was also non-stop, and the talking guy was already half drunk, and came to Xiao B's side to toast with a few people, Xiao Yi just pulled him to the side and sat down, and asked him by the way,
"Hey, little brother, what kind of wine is this, it smells very good!"
The little brother was very proud and replied with a smile,
"That's not it, this is the eldest brother brought from Yangzhou City, first-class good goods! Well, eat, eat, why don't you eat?!"
Tong Lu Huidao,
"We rarely eat and drink, and when we eat, we get drunk, and we just ate a little, and I'm already dizzy! Hey, little brother, I still have something to ask you!"
The young man turned his head to look at Tong Lu and asked,
"Yes, what's there, although, just ask!"
Tong Lu smiled, and then asked,
"Little brother, you said that we should charge for this meal, how much should each person charge?!"
The guy was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and replied,
"You guys, don't worry, you won't charge too much!"
Xiao Yi saw that he seemed to be a little sober, so he simply picked up the wine and had a bowl with him. This guy is in a semi-confused state, Xiao Yi's bowl, he also took one bite, this is good, his eyes are about to be opened.
Tong Lu took the opportunity to ask again,
"Tell me, how much do we have to charge?!"
The young man narrowed his eyes into a slit, smiled and spoke,
"You two boats, can't you repair them for a hundred taels?! As for the food, it's cheap, two taels per person! Anyway, you have money, I don't think you care about that!"
Everyone was shocked, so much money, they could buy a new boat, and besides, everyone ate, everyone added up, and they couldn't eat a few taels of silver, and one person charged two taels, which was dozens of taels!
"Oh yes, what about the price of this meal, it is charged per meal, you live for a day, and it is only counted twice, it is very cost-effective, right?!
Oh, I thought that charging two taels per person was already a sky-high price, but I didn't expect that this was the price of each meal, and the wine was also counted alone, this is a pit to death! Xiao Yi was funny, you guys are really black, if you catch a rich man, you will be slaughtered to death!
Tong Lu asked with a smile,
"Oh, that's right, the price is reasonable!By the way, how long have you been here, you must have made a lot of money, right?!"
The guy was very proud, opened half of his eyes, looked at it, narrowed his eyes again, and replied,
"It's okay, it's okay, it's half a year, and it's nearly a thousand taels!"
Tsk, this is amazing, it is really a huge profit! Compared with the ordinary villagers who rely on labor to eat, it is thousands of times stronger, no wonder they dare to take this risk!
Tong Lu asked again,
"After you have collected so much money, aren't you afraid that some officers and soldiers will find trouble?!"
The guy laughed,
"Just them? We all have eyeliner, and when they arrive, everyone will be gone! Let's change places, and we'll be able to do it all over again soon! Hehe, hey, hey!"
The young man suddenly opened his eyes, as if he was much more awake, he felt as if he had just said something that should not have been said, he looked to the side, and asked,
"I, I didn't say anything just now, did I?!"
Tong Lu just looked sloppy and said,
"I was asking you, and you haven't answered me yet?!"
The guy asked,
"Ask me, ask me what?!"
Tong Lu pointed to the eldest brother and said,
"Oh, the one behind your eldest brother, do you know where he came from?!"
The guy breathed a sigh of relief, and then came back,
"Oh, so you asked him! This boy, I heard that he was a rich boy, and after his family was ruined, he owed a lot of money to others, and then he ran away by himself in order to avoid debts! Who would have thought that he was a master who had no money, and he didn't want to leave every day! This plague god, when his brothers got angry, also beat him a few times! Later, he was really angry, so they sent him to the waterway to pull fiber. Hehe, this kid, where can he endure that hardship, only after a long time, he will be half dead! Later, he was taken away by the eldest brother by accident, and I don't know what kind of shit luck he had! We brothers don't look down on him, if it weren't for the eldest brother's protection, we would have let him go a long time ago!"
After this guy finished speaking, he was still indignant, so it seems that being a little sidekick next to the eldest brother is also a beauty for them! That little white face doesn't seem to have any ability, so these people are also a little emotional.
Tong Lu asked again,
"It's not so good to be by the side of the big brother!"
The guy said urgently,
"Why is it not good, follow the eldest brother, how majestic it is, this Jiangnan and Jiangbei, you can go sideways!"
Tong Lu answered,
"Sideways, heh, big brother, is it really so powerful?"
The guy replied,
"That's not it! You know, when the official lord sees the eldest brother, he has to be polite, if the eldest brother is unhappy, they don't have any good fruit to eat!"
Tong Lu's hands deliberately trembled to show this guy, and he stammered again,
"This, this, how, how, how this, so powerful!"
The young man was extremely proud, and said,
"Hey, you don't have to be afraid, the eldest brother is also the most righteous, as long as he is not an unreasonable person, the eldest brother will definitely not embarrass them! I see that you are very sensible, how can the eldest brother do anything to you!"
Tong Lu breathed a long sigh of relief and said,
"Oh, that's it, it scares me! Little brother, if you have the chance, you can also say a few more good words for us in front of the eldest brother!"
Tong Lu didn't know when he pinched two taels of silver in his hand, and slowly sent it to the young man's hand! This young man is also an understanding person, he winked at Tong Lu twice, and the hand was also very natural to the arms. Hehe, give up a little money and do big things, Tong Lu is still very sensible in this regard!
The young man smiled happily and said,
"Don't worry, I'll do something, you just put your heart in your stomach, there will be no problem!"
Tong Lu said with a smile,
"Naturally, we are also relieved!"
Someone greeted the guy, he waved his hand to a few people, and then staggered to that side, drunk like this, and I don't know if I can still take Tong Lu's request to heart.
Tong Lu turned his head with a smile and said,
"This wine, it's a good thing, it's a bad thing, hehe, it's really interesting, it's interesting!"
Xiao Yi also said,
"This big brother is not simple, we still have to guard against some!"
Yao'er grinned, but she wasn't worried at all, she just said,
"Whatever, if he dares to be rude, many of us can still be afraid of him?!"
Tong Ludao,
"You say, if you are in addition to this big brother, will you also make a great contribution?!"
Yao'er thought about it and replied,
"Are you saying that he may have been a thorn in the side of the government for a long time?!"
Tong Lu said with a smile,
"Maybe it's true, let's find a way to capture him and send him to the government, maybe we can make a fortune from it!"
Yao'er clapped her hands lightly and said,
"Oh, if that's the case, then we didn't come here in vain!"
Xiao Yidao,
"Eat, eat, get drunk, and there will be no pain!"
Mo Mo knew that it was Zhu Zhu who was saved by Yao'er Xiaoyi and others, of course, she also knew that they were powerful, plus she also had a lot of wrestlers, in comparison, her strength should not be below the other party, so she looked very confident and echoed,
"Rest assured, I will do my best to cooperate!"
She is really a smart girl, but she is much more useful than Zhu Zhu, who is silent and quiet! Of course, it is impossible to say this, so as not to make Zhu Zhu sad. However, looking back, if Zhu Zhu really married her, maybe it would be of great help to him, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing!
Those people drank so much that soon many of them were too drunk to wake up, and of course, there were five or six who didn't eat, but just stood by quietly, and if anyone made trouble, they could stop it. However, Xiao Yi thought to himself, they also think too highly of themselves, just these few people, can they still go against the sky?!
That big brother is really a lot, I'm afraid I've eaten a bowl with everyone, but he still speaks very clearly, and his movements are not slow, and the amount of alcohol is really good! Xiao Yi said in his heart, if he drinks with him, he will definitely not be his opponent, but if it is about bravery, of course he is also confident that he can beat him! So, it can be regarded as a tie! The little follower behind him trembled, but when he poured it down, it also made his face red! From this point of view, Xiao Yi's heart was also shocked, as if he had touched somewhere in his heart, and his sadness was overflowing, and he couldn't speak for a while!
Yao'er looked at him very strangely, so she asked,
"Stinky man, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at his eyes, hey, he was actually looking at the big brother, Yao'er smiled,
"Oh, there's no need for this, this guy doesn't need a stinky man's shot, I can cut off his scalp with a single sword!"
Xiao Yi still didn't move, but her eyes moved slightly, Yao'er pursed her lips, and said,
"Stinky man, you, don't you have a crush on that little white face?!"
Tong Lu sneered, and half a mouthful of wine squirted out!
"Yao'er, you actually ate this sour vinegar!"
Xiao Yi still didn't reply, Yao'er got angry, and said,
"Stinky man, you, you! If you do this again, I'll go over and cut off his ears and roast them!"
Tong Lu clapped his hands heartlessly and said,
"I want one, I want one!"
It's really a big deal to see the excitement, Yao'er called Xiaoyi twice, but he still didn't respond, Yao'er couldn't stand it, grabbed the long sword, and was about to go over there. As soon as she got up, her hand was grabbed, and of course, it could only be Xiao Yi who could make her stop. Xiao Yi pulled her to her side and sat down, but her eyes were still looking at that side, and she said slowly,
"Stinky, look at it, that little follower, he, who does he look like!"
Yao'er was still angry just now, and when she heard this, she also looked at it in a blink of an eye, and she carefully identified it, but she still didn't recognize it!
She said again,
"Stinky man, just talk about it directly, I'm too lazy to guess!"
Xiao Yi was silent, and Yao'er asked again,
"Yes, we all recognize it?!"
Xiao Yi still didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and Tong Lu seemed to have noticed something abnormal at this time, and he was also a little emotional!
Yao'er saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the two of them, so she said,
"I'll go over and see clearly!"
Xiao Yi pulled her down again and replied,
"Don't act rashly!"
Yao'er was about to ask him why, but the eldest brother came here with a little follower, heh, maybe he wanted to do his best to be a landlord and come to toast a few people!
When he came near, he picked up the bowl and laughed,
"Seeing you today, it's really fate, come, someone Yue will give you a drink!"
Yao'er really saw the appearance of the little attendant, and her eyes couldn't turn away, if it weren't for Xiao Yi pinching her thigh, she would have been exposed! Several people got up together, eating wine and eating tea, it was a simple coping!
Yao'er was a little excited, and after the big brother went back, she still wanted to rush over to see what was going on, of course, Xiao Yi was by her side, and she would definitely not let her go so rashly!
Zhu Zhu Xiaotao looked dazed, but Mo Mo opened his mouth and asked softly,
"Sister, do you all know that person?!"
Yao'er was still confused, and it took a long time before she spoke,
"Stinky, stinky man, yes, is that him?"
Xiao Yi closed his eyes slightly, looked at the raging flame in front of him, and waited for a long time before returning to her,
"I don't know, I'm in a mess and I want to find out right away!"
Tong Lu let out a long sigh and said,
"It's all this time, let's just wait a little longer!"
Tong Lu saw the doubts in the eyes of the other people, and thought that it would be better to explain to them, so he briefly explained and only listened to him,
"He, he looks a lot like an old man we know, this old man is too close to us, and we think about him all the time, so when we see this little follower's face today, we will be so excited!
Yao'er's hand also held Xiao Yi tightly, her fingers were interlocked, but Xiao Yi's hand was still trembling! Zhu Zhu didn't notice what was going on, but asked again,
"Well, that's really heavy on you guys?!"
This Zhu Zhu didn't have any scheming, and of course he didn't know how to observe words and looks, so he actually said this! Mo Mo hurriedly answered and said,
"Brother Zhu, don't worry, after we get things done, won't everything be revealed!"
Hearing Mo Mo's words, Zhu Zhu sighed, and he didn't ask any more.
After being quiet for a while, Tong Lu spoke slowly,
"Then what should we do next?! It seems that that guy can't get drunk for a while, so why don't you keep waiting like this!
Xiao Yi replied,
"Stay a little longer, let me calm down too!"
Yao'er also said,
"Lu Lu, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Tong Lu sighed lightly and said,
"Good, good, calm down, calm down!"
The wind gradually rose, blowing the flame high, and this meal was also coming to an end! Xiao Yi exhaled softly, lowered his voice, and said fiercely,
"Let's go!"
Mo Mo had already arranged her henchmen, and then her subordinates would do their best to assist Xiao Yi. Yao'er and Xiao Yi will go over together, one will take the other to restrain each other, and the other will take the opportunity to snatch the little follower over! As for who will make the shot, it depends on the situation on the spot, because both of them have that ability, and they will also see the opportunity, and whoever has a higher grasp will be the one who will come! Xiao Yi pressed on Yao'er's hand, and the two of them picked up the bowl and walked in the direction where the big brother was!
The eldest brother also found them, and immediately stood up to salute,
"Yo, two, what are you?"
Of course, he could see that the two of them had come to toast him, and he didn't know why he would ask such questions!
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Big brother, my husband and I came here, of course, to thank my eldest brother for his hospitality!
The eldest brother laughed, and stood up, and the bowl was already full of wine, and he picked it up, but he didn't spill half a drop!
"It's easy to say, this bowl, someone Yue must want to eat it! Come, do it, do it!"
Xiao Yiyao'er ate this bowl together.
According to the position at this time, Yao'er has a better attack position and can play a greater advantage, so she will come to the fight, and Xiao Yi will be responsible for catching the little follower!
The two were about to make a move, but at this critical moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the side,
"The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming!"
This sound also woke up most of the drunken people! They had drunk all the time before, but after they were drunk, they could also hear this, and immediately climbed up, although they were still shaking, but they also had to try to get their weapons in their hands! Heh, doesn't this tell the story even more, these guys are all the people the government wants to take, and they are not their own side to take them down, heh, that can be regarded as a great achievement! The officers and men will come at this time, presumably they have already figured out each other, and if they come in the daytime, most of them will return in vain.
Chaos began to rise all around, Yao'er was overjoyed, isn't this chaos more conducive to her own actions! As long as you subdue the person in front of you, it will be done! Looking behind her, Mo Mo's subordinates have also spread, and they can all attack with just one order! Xiao Yi Yao'er had a heart and moved her hand at the same moment, but when Yao'er's long sword was about to hurt the other party, it suddenly stopped, and Xiao Yi was the same, leaning forward, but she didn't dare to take a step forward!
