Chapter 20: A slap in the face
Yang Twenty and this strange man lay side by side in the wilderness like that, neither sleeping nor talking, looking up at the starry sky, their thoughts drifting far away, rare quiet and peaceful.
Of course, this kind of thing like grilling fish in the middle of the night is still done by the teenager himself, and the man sits back and enjoys it.
Next, the two continued to go south, led by this sloppy man, naturally not slow, leisurely.
Two days later, they came to a county town called Shangyong, which was far less spacious than Hanzhou City, but it was also the largest place to settle within a radius of several hundred miles.
The man told Yang Twenty that if he wanted to stay here for one night and wash away the dust, the next would basically be a difficult journey through mountains and rivers, and it was rare to have such a prosperous town.
Naturally, the teenager will not take it to heart.
First, this man has never been in shape, and his speech is reversed, and second, what kind of difficult road can be difficult to reach a young man with a rock-like heart at this time.
The two went around and around, and when night fell, they finally came to one of the largest restaurants in the downtown area.
The man still walked in with such a big grin, ignoring the disdainful look on Xiao Er's face, and shouted: "The distinguished guest comes to the door, and Xiao Er comes out to greet him." ”
Xiao Er stood at the door, squinting at the two "distinguished guests" named Huazi, one big and one small, and greeted with a strange yin and yang: "Two guest officers, is this a hotel or a food? The store is about to close, and I'm afraid it's too late to beg for food." ”
The man ignored him, walked straight inside, sat down on the edge of the table, and asked, "Can't I come to you because I drink?"
Xiao Er, who was carrying a white rag on his shoulder, still looked like he was ignoring it, and responded casually: "It's naturally okay to drink, but you need silver, do you have it?"
The man was still calm and relaxed, and he looked like an uncle, reached out into his arms, and began to explore.
Half a day later, in Xiao Er's increasingly disdainful look, he took out his hand, and it was empty.
The young man on the side looked embarrassed, and reminded him in time: "The rest of the broken silver was all bought by you yesterday." ”
The man was not in a hurry, slapped the table hard, and said, "His grandmother's, the silver was forgotten at home and not brought out, can you take credit for a few days?"
That's right.
Even the accomplice Yang Twenty on the side couldn't stand it, and tilted his head slightly, not daring to look at Xiao Er.
Sure enough, Xiao Er roared angrily: "If you have money to drink, you have no money to get out, beggar Huazi, and you dare to pretend to be an uncle, I'll go to your uncle's uncle." ”
This man's eccentric temper is really inscrutable.
was ridiculed and scolded by Xiao Er, he was not annoyed, but laughed, looked at Xiao Er and said: "Okay, you have a kind of kid, wait for the uncle to get the silver, and see how Lao Tzu smashes you." ”
After saying that, he actually got up and went out in a daze, and looked left and right to discern the direction, as if he was going to get the money and come back.
But he didn't let the young man follow, just let Yang Twenty wait with peace of mind.
Before leaving, he also instructed Xiao Er, "Look at my brother, if you dare to bully him, be careful that Lao Tzu will not only not give you a reward when he comes back, but also complain to your boss." ”
Xiao Er has a big head, if the white eyes can kill people, I believe that this beggar man whose brain has been caught by the door panel has already been broken into thousands of pieces.
Besides, this restaurant was opened by his brother-in-law, and you sued your uncle for his tricks.
Sure enough, the sloppy man finished speaking and left. doesn't seem to be worried at all that his young brother has been abducted and trafficked.
Yang Twenty sat outside the door of the inn and couldn't help sighing, it was really helpless to have such a superb "uncle" on the stall.
Half an hour later, it was already dark, and there was still no sign of the man's return.
Yang Twenty began to play the drum in his heart, after getting along with each other during this time, he naturally knew that Yu Jiutian was the same as him, and he was currently living in a fixed place, which was a real wandering Jianghu, and this Shangyong county was even more unfamiliar with life, where to get silver.
The boy began to think crankily.
That guy shouldn't be going to rob the house, probably not, although he doesn't speak seriously, but he is still a righteous person, and he never gives people half a copper coin less than half a copper coin when he sells wine with small vendors along the way, let alone bullying ordinary people!
The shopkeeper also seemed to be looking forward to it, and walked back and forth at the door a few times, probably wanting to see how embarrassing the guy would be when he came back.
The young man sat motionless at the door, honestly waiting for the man to return.
He had already begun to think about what he should do if the man really couldn't pull his face down and just walked away? Now that he was hungry, even if he started to go on the road alone from tomorrow, he would have to find a way to fill his stomach first, and he also decided that after going on the road alone, he would resolutely not take the big road again this time, and it didn't matter if he worked hard, he must not fall into the hands of the enemy again.
But he felt that the man would not leave him alone!
At this time, the shopkeeper took out a steamed bun and a bowl of water, handed it to the young man, and said: "Eat, I know that you are two called Huazi, that two hundred and five dare to be stunned as an uncle, I think he is crazy about money." ”
For a while, the young man had mixed feelings, it turned out that this unforgiving little second brother was not really a bad person, at least this bowl of water and this steamed bun made Yang Twenty's heart warm a lot.
He smiled secretly in his heart, and very much recognized Xiao Er's sentence of two hundred and five.
That guy is really a two-hundred-and-five!
Just when Yang Twenty finished eating the steamed buns, the man really looked like two hundred and five, put the long sword on his shoulder, and walked back with a swaggering face.
The man re-entered the inn with the boy, this time not taking a seat, but went directly to the counter and put his hand into his arms again.
Yang Twenty was a little nervous, if he couldn't get the silver out this time, how would it end.
Xiao Er still looked at people through the crack in the door, and he didn't even bother to say a word, he glanced at the man obliquely, and he didn't believe that he could take out the silver.
Then the man still has to die with the virtue of immortality, and he groped in his arms for a long time.
slapped his hand heavily on the counter, full of momentum, but I don't know if my subordinates have any goods.
The man smiled and slowly took his hand away.
Sure enough, it didn't disappoint.
His men are still empty!
The shopkeeper didn't plan to talk nonsense with this scoundrel, so he was going to turn around and drive people away with a broom.
Then, the man tricked his wrist and turned his palm up.
Xiao Er and the young man were stunned at the same time, and their mouths opened wide, looking incredulous.
Because the man really has no silver in his hand.
Rather, a gold ingot.
The shopkeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, carefully picked up the gold ingots in the man's hand, put it in his mouth and bit it hard.
Tooth pain.
Real gold without a doubt.
Xiao Er looked at the man a little panicked.
The man grinned, "Two upper rooms, and they don't lead the way." ”
Xiao Er's ass ran out of the back of the counter, nodded and bowed, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, please go upstairs." ”
The man threw the gold ingot to Xiao Er, and said as he walked: "All the good wine and good food are served." ”
Xiao Er was intoxicated with the gold ingot in his hand and couldn't help nodding.
After returning to the guest room, Yang was very curious, could this guy really have that kind of rich relatives in the city?
So he asked tentatively, "Where are you going...... The gold ingots?"
The man smiled mysteriously and said, "How can this kind of heavenly machine be leaked casually." ”
Yang Twenty said in horror: "You can't be stolen, right?"
The man smiled and said, "I'll go get some of my own money, do you think it's stealing." ”
The boy was incredulous, "But where is your home in this city?"
The man still sold Guan Zi and said, "Where did you say the money from the government came from?"
When Yang was in the school twenty years ago, the master said that in addition to various taxes, most of the government's money was scavenged from the people.
"But what does this have to do with you, could it be that you are related to the government in this city?" the young man was still a little puzzled.
The man laughed and explained: "I am not only related to the government in this Shangyong city, but also related to all the officials in the world, otherwise Lao Tzu will not do business or farm, where will the silver come from to buy wine all the way!"
The boy thought it was incredible.
The man continued to explain: "Which of those officials and landlords did not scavenge the money from the common people? Since I am also a citizen of this world, of course the money is also related to me, is there something wrong with me if I go and get a little back?"
The young man listened to the man's theory, and it seemed that there was really nothing wrong with it, but after thinking about it, wasn't it still stealing!
So he asked carefully: "Aren't you afraid of being caught by the people of the government?"
The man was a little helpless, and he wanted to reach out and slap this smart little bastard who usually quarreled with him, but was dodged by the latter.
had no choice but to say: "If those group of wine bags and rice bags could catch the heroes who robbed the rich and helped the poor, then they would have turned into immortals in large numbers in large numbers." ”
Yang Twenty knew the reason, lost a roll of his eyes, and said no more.
I didn't eat a few bites of food, but there were a lot of empty wine bottles on the table, and after the man got drunk, he fell asleep.
The boy sincerely admired this guy's eclectic nature like a pig.
During this period, he also drank a few sips of wine, not that the young man really regarded himself as a good man and had to drink a lot of wine, but that he felt that it was more enjoyable to drink a sip of wine than to talk nonsense with a man.
When he left the next day, the shopkeeper handed over a large bag of broken silver to the man with a smile on his face, saying that after all the money for the food and wine in the room was deducted, there was still so much to spare, and he couldn't stop complimenting the man, saying that the guest officer would come often in the future.
When the man opened the money bag and handed over a piece of broken silver to the little second-hand, he smiled even more.
Yang Twenty actually saw a lot of this kind of behavior when he was in the backyard of Fengyue Tower, and he didn't have any extra feelings, and even he sometimes needed this to live a better life, such a little bit of truth that the master had never taught, he actually understood it very thoroughly.
Next, the man took Yang Twenty to an alley on the edge of the city and knocked on the wooden door of a small courtyard.
The door was opened by an old woman with a sixtieth birthday.
After she saw the man, she smiled kindly, took the man's hand, and walked inside, while saying: "I'm back in nine days, my mother-in-law has calculated that you are coming recently, helped you make some food, and helped you sew a robe, come into the house and try it, it doesn't fit." ”
The mother-in-law took the hand of the man for nine days and walked all the way back to the house, like an elderly elder seeing the descendants of the family who had been separated for a long time.
The boy stood in the doorway, stunned.
It turns out that this guy really has relatives in this city!
