Lu Shizhang Strange people and strange friends
It's another day with clear skies and no clouds.
When Xiao Yan woke up in the shaking carriage, he thought he had a big dream and returned to the afternoon when he escaped from Ping'an County.
It's just that the people sitting in the carriage are not the master, the master and the little sister, but a few strangers, who just asked when they saw him wake up, and after a glance, they looked away again.
Fortunately, Qi Zehui was also next to him, and when he saw Xiao Yan wake up, he couldn't help but smile: "I only woke up after sleeping for two days? β
Xiao Yan saw his long-lost friend with sleepy eyes, but he felt that everything was not real, and muttered: "Second ...... Two dogs, is that you?"
Qi Zehui's old face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Shhh
Who knew that in the next second, Xiao Yan cried directly and hugged himself with tears in his eyes. Qi Zehui was startled, and before he could push it away, he heard the young man crying loudly in his ear.
Several people in the carriage cast strange glances at them.
One of the people in the corner whistled directly.
Qi Zehui was embarrassed, and hurriedly pushed Xiao Yan away, and scolded: "Stinky banzha! What are you doing here? Freshly washed clothes, pay attention to your snot!"
Xiao Yan cried and said, "It's all my fault...... I'm useless...... I haven't been able to avenge my father and mother, and I haven't buried you alive, so I came down in a daze......"
There was too much emotion and crying in this voice, and for a while, Qi Zehui couldn't hear what Xiao Yan was talking about.
He had no choice but to coax and comfort him for a long time before he figured out that this wooden head had been repenting, thinking that he was dead, and the Hui Shao in front of him was also a lonely ghost who came to pick him up.
Qi Zehui suddenly cried and laughed, talked for a long time, and added another slap, which could be regarded as letting Xiao Yan understand that he was not so lucky, and the days of suffering in this yang world had not yet come to an end.
Then he briefly explained the matter again, and Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and finally couldn't help laughing:
"Amazing, I really got mixed up with the little leader of the beggar gang!"
At the same time, a trace of loss welled up in his heart.
It's a pity that I couldn't say goodbye to Miss Su in person.
Of course, Qi Zehui deliberately did not tell him about the toxins in his body that night.
He was already thinking of a solution, and until he thought of a solution, he didn't want to let his simple-minded friend share the burden of fear.
Qi Zehui laughed dryly twice, and said, "This is called Jiren's own natural appearance! Come, let me introduce you to these big brothersββ"
"This red-faced and heroic old man is Xiong Yingchun of our beggar gang, Elder Xiong!"
"Junior Xiao Yan, I've seen Elder Xiong!" Xiao Yan bowed respectfully, thinking of his previous gaffe, he couldn't help blushing a little.
Xiong Yingchun smiled at him and nodded, then turned his head back and regained a flat expression.
"This is Ke Yan, the 'Yama Sword' who is invincible in the world in martial arts and swordsmanship, Ke Daxia!"
Ke Yan held the sword in his arms, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Generally, the Central Plains is the second." β
Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still saluted honestly: "Hello Ke Daxia!"
Ke Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised that the former did not say "look up for a long time".
"What about this handsome and dashing big brother, and now he is also my godbrother, the helmsman of the beggar gang - Dong Fucun, Brother Dong!"
"You kid, you're always so flamboyant!" said the stout man on the side.
"I've seen Master Dong Helm!"
"You're welcome, since you are Zehui's friend, you are naturally also my friend, you don't have to always be the helmsman!" Dong Fucun looked quite enthusiastic.
"Thank you, Brother Dong!" Xiao Yan also smiled sincerely, it seems that it is not unreasonable for the beggars to have disciples all over the world.
Xiao Yan lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the green mountains and water in the distance, and the roads on both sides were also lush and green, which was very eye-catching, so he couldn't help asking: "Ah Hui, where are we going?"
Qi Zehui pretended to smile mysteriously: "Of course I'm taking you to play, isn't there something to do?"
Xiao Yan scratched his head: "Don't sell it, you are now the deputy helmsman of the beggar gang, how can you have so much time to play like before." β
Qi Zehui said with a smile: "It's clever, okay, it's not a secret, the place we are going to is an extremely terrifying and troublesome place, where everyone has high martial arts and kill......s people."
Xiao Yan took the water and dry food handed by Dong Fucun, raised his eyebrows and interrupted him ruthlessly: "Come on, you start again." β
"Ouch, isn't it exciting to see you," Qi Zehui grimaced, "Okay, the place we're going to is called Iron Eagle Castle, have you heard of it?"
"Iron Eagle Castle?" Xiao Yan thought for a moment, it seemed that he had heard Su Xixue mention this place before, but he couldn't remember it clearly for a while: "I've heard of it, it seems to be a group of killer organizations, but I don't know much about it." What are we going to do there?"
"Actually, I don't know this very well," Qi Zehui stretched out his little thumb and dug out his nostrils, "Anyway, those people have something to do with my master's death, there was also a group of men in black who chased and killed my master to Ping'an County, I, as an apprentice, have to find out the reason!"
Xiao Yan nodded as if he didn't understand, and suddenly said, "Iron Eagle Castle is a killer organization, isn't the photo studio too?"
"Hey, compared to this Iron Eagle Castle and the photo studio, it's really a small thing, and it's all about bandits who kill people and oversell goods," Qi Zehui flicked his fingers, "Besides, strictly speaking, the photo studio is an assassin organization, assassins, do you know, it's just a ...... that misses one blow and burns all the jade."
Over there, Qi Zehui was talking about the difference between a killer and an assassin, and Ke Yan here suddenly looked at Xiong Yingchun and asked:
"Actually, I don't understand, there was no news about Tiedanque more than ten years ago, why didn't you beggars know to check until now?"
Xiong Yingchun saw that it was Ke Yan who was asking, and he didn't dare not answer: "This, Ke Daxia, you also know, Senior Tie has always been elusive, and he has no news at every turn, so several of our elders have long been used to it, and in the past few days, there have been no major things in the rivers and lakes that require his old man's help......
Ke Yan couldn't help sneering when he heard this: "Hehe, it seems that you beggars also have that habit, and you only think of employing people when you have something, and you just hang it if you have nothing to do." β
Xiong Yingchun was also speechless for a while when he heard this, and he didn't know how to justify.
Here Xiao Qi and Dong Dong chatted hotly, Dong Cunfu quite admired Xiao Yan's honest and honest habits, and couldn't help laughing:
"I think the little brother has such a temperament, he will definitely make a big difference in the future, I wonder if he is interested in joining our beggar gang?"
The sudden invitation made Xiao Yan stunned, he lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, Dong Cunfu smiled and said: "I just mentioned it casually, little brother doesn't have to take it to heart, after all, the rivers and lakes are so big, and it is not a ...... that the beggars have to choose."
Qi Zehui heard the knife hidden in these words, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, you misunderstood, my friend is not disgusted, but he has a big revenge that has not been avenged, and it is not easy to settle down for the time being." β
Dong Cunfu nodded thoughtfully and did not continue to ask.
There was a moment of silence in the carriage.
At this time, Qi Zehui suddenly thought of something, looked at Ke Yan and said, "That, Ke Daxia, is it inconvenient for Fang to ask you something?"
Ke Yan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, didn't look at him: "If there is a fart, release it quickly." β
Qi Zehui secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, and saw that the latter was in a daze again, so he said, "I want to know, where can I find the 'friend in Langzhong' you mentioned a few days ago?"
Ke Yan opened one eye, looked at Qi Zehui, and then at Xiao Yan, and immediately understood what he was thinking:
"Don't expect this, first of all, he has no fixed place to live, he travels around, whoever can find him depends on fate, and even if you can find it, he will definitely not give you face. β
"Why?" Qi Zehui was a little confused.
Ke Yan closed his eyes again: "You ask your Elder Xiong, he should have guessed who I am talking about." β
Qi Zehui and Xiong Yingchun were both stunned for a moment, and the former cast a longing glance at the latter.
Xiong Yingchun pondered for a moment and said, "What Ke Yingying is referring to should be the strange doctor and evil Qianchen, right?"
"Strange doctor?" Qi Zehui was a little dazed.
Seeing that Ke Yan did not refute, Xiong Yingchun continued: "This evil gentleman is not only extremely high in martial arts, but also has excellent medical skills, whether it is an incurable disease that you can name or cannot name, all those who have passed through his hands have recovered, and even said that there are patients who have been out of breath for a day can be brought back to life by him with miraculous medicine! Therefore, Mr. Evil is recognized as the one with the highest medical skills in the rivers and lakes. β
"So powerful?" Qi Zehui was dumbfounded.
"It's an exaggeration," Ke Yan said coldly, "he said it himself, and he just lost his breath for more than a long time." β
"That's good, but what about the temperament of this evil gentleman...... Xiong Yingchun smiled awkwardly, "It's really weird." β
"What's that weird method?"
"He doesn't prioritize his medical practice, he doesn't look at the patient's good or evil, whether he shoots or not, it's all based on his temporary preference, if he is not happy, even if he knocks his head and he doesn't pay attention to you; if he wants to heal you, you have to agree to him," Xiong Yingchun stroked his beard, "Otherwise, he will be beaten badly, his hands and feet will be cut off, and he will be killed at worst."
It's scary...... Qi Zehui shuddered.
"Besides, he has a rule for receiving medical fees, either he doesn't take a penny, or he 'collects half'. β
"What is ...... Half?"
"Even if he heals it, whether it is an incurable disease, or an ordinary wind, cold, dampness and heat," Xiong Yingchun's eyes showed a hint of jealousy, "He will ask someone to calculate all your belongings, from the land of the house to the antique paper and pen, and even the clothes you are wearing, and then round them up and take half of them." β
"Then ordinary people are okay, at most they can get a dozen taels of silver," Qi Zehui bit his salty fingers, "If you are a prince or nobleman, you can't go bankrupt?"
"That's right," Xiong Yingchun nodded, "so everywhere this evil gentleman went, almost every door and window were closed, and no one dared to let him in." β
"I said, can he take away so much money alone?"
"The ...... that can't be taken away" Xiong Yingchun's voice paused, "He will smash and burn it in front of you." The only time he didn't take a penny was when he was in Wudang Mountain more than ten years ago. As for the others...... Gee. β
What a terrible strange doctor! Qi Zehui smacked his lips and secretly looked at Ke Yan on the side.
Sure enough, none of this weird man's friends are normal.
"If you look at me again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and step on them as urine bubbles. Ke Yan, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, said coldly.
Qi Zehui was so frightened that he quickly covered his eyes, and then tried to change the topic: "That one, Banzha, do you know where we are going first on this trip?"
"Isn't it Iron Eagle Castle?" Xiao Yan replied after recovering from his senses.
"No, no, no, we're going to meet someone first. Qi Zehui laughed dryly, and opened a slit between his fingers with palpitations.
"Who are you seeing?" Xiao Yan was a little puzzled.
"You have touched my light," Qi Zehui came to his senses, "The person we want to meet is the famous and majestic beggar gang leader!"
"What?" Xiao Yan sat up in shock.
"Calm and calm, it's the first time I've seen you, look at me, how calm and steady. Qi Zehui patted his chest, quite complacent.
Dong Cunfu on the side smiled mercilessly: "I don't know who it is, I heard that the gang leader screamed excitedly after seeing you, and almost fainted." β
Qi Zehui's old face was red again: "Big brother, you ......"
The time for the journey flew by, and seven days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone drove the carriage and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and then stopped at a small place called Luoyanji near Xuanzhou.
The leader of the beggar gang had already prepared men and horses and waited here for a long time, and indicated that he wanted to see this apprentice of his junior brother.
Outside a concentrated temple, there were already a lot of beggars begging, although they seemed to be lazy and casual, but the sharp-eyed Xiao Qi and the two soon discovered that each of them was at least four bags of disciples.
Even Qi Zehui, who has the name of the deputy helmsman, is only a person at this time, and the number of pockets on his body is only three.
"When you see the helper later, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds," Xiong Yingchun patiently reminded, "Don't be as oily and slippery as usual!"
"Yes...... It's ......" Qi Zehui was actually very nervous at this time, and his whole person stammered when he spoke, and his eyebrows, palms, and back were already drenched in sweat.
I want to see the leader of the beggar gang...... He was not so nervous when he saw Ke Yan and Xiao Buyi.
The beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and the disciples are all over the world, no matter where they go, the name of the beggar gang is a response. The power and prestige of the beggar gang leader are no less than that of the emperor of the current dynasty, and it can even be said that they are even more than that.
The one in the court is the Son of Heaven, and the leader of the beggar gang is the king of the land.
"Wait, I'll go in and report it. Xiong Yingchun looked at Dong Cunfu and Qi Zehui and said in a low voice.
Qi Zehui rubbed his hands and waited carefully outside the door with Dong Cunfu and Xiao Ding.
"Big brother, you say, how does this gang leader look, how does his temper be, and how does he treat others?"
No matter what Qi Zehui asked, Dong Cunfu only smiled slightly: "You can see it yourself." β
After a while, I saw Xiong Yingchun appear at the door: "Come in." β
Qi Zehui took a deep breath and strode in.
Xiao Yan was about to keep up, but was gently stopped by Dong Cunfu: "Help the internal discussion, and ask the little brother to wait here, don't be surprised." β
Xiao Yan was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and nodded.
Qi Zehui was so nervous that he didn't even notice that Xiao Yan hadn't followed.
The temple is brightly lit, there are only a few people, almost all of them are over half a hundred years old, looking at the appearance, the pockets around the waist are eight or nine, quite qualified.
Qi Zehui bluntly greeted them, and when he turned his head, Dong Cunfu and Xiong Yingchun, who led the way, disappeared at some point.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a loud voice after his birth:
"Come on, come on, let me see how my junior brother looks!"
