In front of a table in the southwest corner of the inn sat an old man and a young man, an old man of fifty years old, with a beard and a pair of bright eyes. The youngest was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with a goose egg face and a pair of big eyes that were very smart. This girl is Guan Xiaohong, I saw her pouting and said, "Second Uncle Hu, come out this time and say yes, let me travel." But you are in charge of everything, you are not allowed to do this, and you are not allowed to touch that, which is really boring. ”

Sitting opposite her, Hu Longhai threw a peanut into his mouth, and then took a sip of wine and said, "Uncle, I'm not afraid that something will happen to you, and you don't know that the old owner is just a girl." Before I went out, his old man told you to take care of you along the way, if you lost a hair, the old owner would never spare me. ”

Guan Xiaohong said unhappily: "Speaking of which, you are still afraid of my father." In front of me, the owner of the village always said that I am now an adult. He can take care of many things by himself, and he doesn't need to worry about it. Hu Longhai said: "You are in a hurry, there is right and wrong every day in this river and lake, and it is too late for others to hide, so you have to rush forward."

Young people's hearts are like this, but since your uncle is here, I can't let you suffer. The last time Silver Thirteen had a fight with the beggar gang, you also saw how dangerous it was. As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't underestimate those people called Huazi, their power in the rivers and lakes is very big."

Sensei said that you are the daughter of Xuanbing Villa, even if you are one of the top two sects in the world today, you have to give the beggars a few thin faces. The water in this is deep, uncle told you, there are three kinds of people in the rivers and lakes who generally can't be provoked, monks, Taoist priests, and Huazi. ”

Guan Xiaohongqi said: "What's the spirit of a stinky person who wants food?" Hu Longhai shook his head and said: "It's okay for you to say this in front of me, if it really reaches the ears of those called Huazi, it is inevitable that they will find the bad luck of the old owner." Do you know why the beggars are so fierce?" Guan Xiaohong said impatiently: "How do I know? ”

Hu Longhai lowered his stomach with another glass of wine, lowered his voice and said slowly: "That's because our Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty used to be a beggar, coupled with the begging pole given by the emperor, the status of the beggar gang is humble and lowly on the surface, but in fact, the status is respected.

I don't know that this silver thirteen tendon is wrong, so I have to get along with the beggars. Fighting against the beggars is tantamount to pulling teeth out of the jaw. Can you do such a dangerous thing if your uncle doesn't stop you?" Guan Xiaohong listened to what he said, and immediately understood the stakes. couldn't help blushing, poured a glass of wine for him and asked, "Then why did Silver Thirteen provoke the beggar gang?"

Hu Longhai said with a smile: "You are an immortal when you are an uncle, you know everything." Guan Xiaohong frowned with her hand and said: "Listening to what my uncle said, why do I think it's boring to be a hero." Hu Longhai glanced at her and said: "You are wrong, to be a hero, you must have amazing martial arts, second, you must have courage, and third, you must have the heart to help the world and save the people."

Ordinary brawls are nothing but martial arts. Even if he is invincible in the world, he is just a martial arts master. And chivalrous people can be in danger of others, and it is difficult to save people, without asking for anything in return, and they are not afraid of power. Defend the family and the country, and treat death as home. Such a person can be regarded as a real hero.

I don't know how many young people on the rivers and lakes can really have such ambitions, and many of them are just fame-seeking. To be a hero is not a momentary bravery, but a burden on your shoulders. ”

The last few words he said were impassioned, Guan Xiaohong nodded and said: "What Uncle Hu said is very true, so what are the characters who can be called heroes on the rivers and lakes today?" Hu Longhai said: "In fact, this needs to be conclusive, even if I name a few characters, there will always be people who are not convinced." I can only tell you, the people of the past. ”

The two of them talked eloquently, but these words were heard by Bai Ruoxuan and Ali. Bai Ruoxuan glanced at Guan Xiaohong, and asked Ali in a low voice: "Can you find out the details of this little girl and the middle-aged man?" Ali replied in a low voice: "The subordinates have found out that these two people are from Xuanbing Villa, and that little girl's name is Guan Xiaohong, who is the pearl of the owner Guan Shanyue, and the person sitting opposite her is called Hu Longhai."

This person walked darts on the rivers and lakes in his early years, and later because he lost a dart, he could no longer eat the bowl of dart line, and Guan Shanyue took him in. Since then, he has been the martial artist of Xuanbing Villa. ”

Bai Ruoxuan took a sip of tea and said: "Very good, it's just that there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." Find a way to kidnap this little girl, and I'm not afraid that Xuanbing Villa won't hand over the "Mountains and Rivers Kanyu Map". ”

Ali raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, the subordinates will arrange it." Bai Ruoxuan beckoned and whispered a few words in his ear, and Ali had a happy look on his face.

Ali stood up and said to the guy in the hall: "Little second brother, add a pot of good wine to the uncle on the table over there, and the account will be counted with us." As he spoke, he took out a bit of broken silver and handed it to the little er, who was overjoyed, and ran to the counter like the wind on the soles of his feet.

After a while, Xiao Er held a red lacquered wooden plate and placed a pot of wine on Guan Xiaohong's table. Guan Xiaohong said: "Little second brother, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, we just need a pot of wine." The little second stretched out his hand and pointed to Bai Ruoxuan in the distance: "The uncle asked me to send it, and the bill has been paid." ”

Hu Longhai said: "It seems that the person on the other side wants to make friends with us." Saying that, he stood up and arched his hands: "I don't know what this friend is called?" Hu thanked him first. Ali stood up and arched his hand and said, "I just heard Uncle Hu talk about my master, and I admire it very much, and a little wine and food is not a respect." ”

Hu Longhai also met some warm-hearted people in his early years, and laughed at the moment: "Hu is only afraid of polluting the ears of the two of them." Ali said: "Brother Hu, you are humble. Fang Cai's chivalrous argument is very insightful. Hu Longhai stretched out his hand and said: "If you don't dislike it, please come over and talk about it, there is a way to meet in the rivers and lakes, and confidants in the world." ”

Ali bowed and said, "I don't know what the master wants?" Bai Ruoxuan held the sword in his hand and said, "Since people are warmly invited, how can we refuse each other?" Guan Xiaohong saw Bai Ruoxuan's outstanding appearance, and immediately praised: "This sister is so beautiful." Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said: "This sister is not bad, she is heroic and good-looking." ”

Guan Xiaohong's pretty face was blushing and shy. Hu Longhai said: "This girl has never seen much of the world and can't speak. Let the woman laugh. Bai Ruoxuan said: "It's okay, I am very happy to see that this little sister is innocent." Guan Xiaohong was about to report to her home, but Hu Longhai gently tapped her with his foot and signaled her not to say more.

Hu Longhai raised his glass and toasted the two of them, and said, "I haven't consulted the two daimyo yet." Ali said: "My surname is Jia, this is the young master of our salt gang." When Hu Longhai heard this, he was solemn and said: "It turned out to be the Salt Gang, and I have admired it for a long time." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Uncle Hu is polite." I don't know where Uncle Hu is?"

Hu Longhai's eyes flashed and he smiled: "Hu is just a fisherman, this is my niece Hu Xing'er." He casually changed Guan Xiaohong's name, Guan Xiaohong was stunned, and said in his heart: "Second Uncle Hu, didn't you drink too much, and you don't even know my name and surname?"

Bai Ruoxuan knew it well, and she didn't expose it at the moment. smiled and said: "Uncle Hu is only afraid that the real person will not show his face, so he will talk about chivalry, which makes the little woman deeply admired." My master and servant eavesdropped, and I hope that you Haihan. Hu Longhai saw that Bai Ruoxuan was not very old and had a sophisticated conversation, so he immediately laughed and said: "I was talking about it in front of children, if I really want to put it on the table, I'm afraid I will laugh and be generous."

I have heard the prestige of the Salt Gang for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it. Today, I am fortunate to witness the demeanor of the young master of the Salt Gang, and I should be a big white. Bai Ruoxuan said in her heart: "This person is very accidental." But no matter how shrewd you are, you still have to follow the way of this girl. As he spoke, several people drank another glass of wine.

Bai Ruoxuan deliberately teased Guan Xiaohong and said: "Sister of the Hu family, I see that your hands are very white and tender." I don't know what kind of maintenance I use on weekdays?" Hu Longhai heard her words and said secretly: "Groove cake, I just said that I am a fisherman, and the young master of this salt gang will believe it." And I lied that Xiaohong was my niece, I was dressed crudely and I could hide it, and how could Xiaohong's all-round style be a fisherman's daughter?

These two seem to be deliberately inviting us to drink, and I don't know what the hell they are trying to do, so I have to be careful. The Salt Gang has never had anything to do with Xuanbing Villa, so the other party has seen through our hiding. ”

Guan Xiaohong said: "I, use some mutton fat dew to coat my hands in winter." As soon as she said this, Hu Longhai's face was a little unbearable. Although it is not a rare thing for the rich, it is a luxury for the poor. A bottle of mutton fat dew has a market price of thirty taels of silver. Being able to afford to use mutton fat dew to apply your hands is naturally the daughter of a large family. ”

Hu Longhai was angry in his heart, Guan Xiaohong would not hide it, but he naturally couldn't say it at the wine table. The two said a few more words, and then diverted the topic and said, "Young Master Bai, I don't know if the old hero of Lingzun Ma is in good health?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "My father is healthy. Uncle Hu, my master and servant still have important matters, so I won't bother the two Yaxing. As he spoke, he got up.

Seeing that Guan and Hu's eyes moved to Bai Ruoxuan's face, Ali flicked the little finger of his right hand and flicked the scattered powder into Hu Longhai's cup. After seeing the two of them leave, Hu Longhai's face became gloomy, and Guan Xiaohong said, "Second Uncle Hu, why didn't you let me report to my family?"

Hu Longhai raised his wine glass to his lips and drank it, and said lightly: "The origin of these two people is unknown, they claim to be from the Salt Gang, but I have seen their hands, and they are not from the Salt Gang." Guan Xiaohongqi said: "You can see it with your hands?" Hu Longhai glanced at her and said, "Naturally." You stupid girl, just now people asked you how to take care of your hands, but you said to use mutton fat dew.

Think about it, that mutton fat dew is thirty taels and one bottle, and ordinary fishermen can use it? Alas, the identity of these two people is really ......" Before he finished speaking, he felt a cramping pain in his lower abdomen. Guan Xiaohong saw that his face changed, and hurriedly said, "Second Uncle Hu, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Longhai clutched his stomach and said, "Most of them are going to be complimentary." With that, he walked towards the back hall of the inn. Guan Xiaohong sat alone at the table, she held her cheeks with her hands, and knocked on the cup with a chopstick in her hand. Said to himself: "Second Uncle Hu's behavior is becoming more and more confusing, he first invited people to come over to talk, and then toasted and praised others. In the end, it is said that people are unpredictable.

I don't see any bad guy in that sister, he doesn't tell the truth, he doesn't tell the truth himself. He always tells me about this rule, that rule, why doesn't he talk about the rules himself. Suddenly, her eyes rolled and the corners of her mouth raised a smile and said: "Isn't this a good time, without Second Uncle Hu looking at me, I can be free and unrestrained." ”

Saying that, she walked to the front counter and put down a silver ingot and said, "Tell the grandfather who is out of the palace later, that this girl has gone to the rivers and lakes." The shopkeeper said, "Girl, you have a lot of money." Guan Xiaohong said: "If you have more, you should be rewarded by this girl." Remember, my words must be brought. ”

The shopkeeper squinted and accepted the silver and said, "Good, good." I will convey it by myself. ”
