Chapter 16: The Boy in White
In the afternoon of the second day, the big-headed ghost, Sun Erniang, and Mo'er took the first group of people from the cottage down the mountain to Qingzhou, and there were about forty or fifty people in the line.
There is nothing to do all the way, there are people in the rivers and lakes hurrying by from time to time on the official road, I want to come to Taishan in a hurry, there are many people in the cottage, and the big-headed ghost restricts everyone not to make extraneous branches. At dusk that day, he came to a small town, and seeing that it was getting late, he arranged for everyone to camp outside the town. Choose a leeward place to set up camp, there is a small hill above here, and not far away is a small river, the water of the river is crystal clear, it is a good place to camp.
The big-headed ghost is a person who can't stay idle, and after setting up camp, he asked Erniang and Mo'er to go to the town, saying that there are a lot of people on the road recently, and they want to stay in the front town for more, find a teahouse and restaurant, and listen to any new information. Erniang and Mo'er couldn't resist him, so they had to let him, the three of them just entered the town, there was a rush of horses' hooves behind them, and a healthy horse "Splash Lala" galloped by his side, and the big-headed ghost was almost stepped on by the horse without paying attention, and couldn't help scolding: "Straight lady thief, don't you have long eyes on horseback?" The horse had slipped away in a blink of an eye, only to see the back of a young man in white, with a strange long sword inserted in his back, and the hilt of the sword was as long as a simple knife.
In the middle of the night, the figures had disappeared, and the big-headed ghost was still scolding.
Came to the town, but saw that there was only one street, the scale of the town is not large, because many people in the rivers and lakes rushed to Mount Tai these days, it seemed more lively. From time to time, there are people walking around the street with swords on their backs. There is a restaurant at the end of the street, the door is carried under the guise of "proud building", it seems to be the largest restaurant in the town, there are a lot of mounts tied to the horse pile on both sides of the door, and the business is good.
The three of them went in, went up to the second floor, picked a table on the street and sat down, and the bartender hurriedly came over to greet him: "A few guest officers, let's see what to use?" The big-headed ghost grinned: "Beat a pound of wine, come to a plate of braised beef, and pick up the rest of the good ones in the store." ”
"Gotcha. Xiao Er answered, turned around and went downstairs.
The big-headed ghost swept his eyes and saw that there were not many guests on the second floor, and the dozen or so tables were not yet full. On the west side of the street sat a single white and beautiful young man, wearing a white dark striped soft-winged hat, a white spun silk shirt, a dark striped horn belt around his waist, his face was like powder, and the corners of his eyes were pretty. There was a sword on the table, the hilt of which was two feet long, and it was the young man who had just galloped past the entrance of the town.
The big-headed ghost was about to attack as soon as he stared at him, but he was pulled by Erniang and stopped with his eyes, and the big-headed ghost had to give up. The whole cottage big-headed ghost is only afraid of Sun Erniang, this time down the mountain, Xiao Siyuan asked Erniang to go with him, and he also had this plan. There are only a few simple side dishes on the young man's table, a wine jug, which looks leisurely and uninhibited. The big-headed ghost hated it so much, but there was Erniang who couldn't be presumptuous.
The effort was not great, Xiao Er had already brought beef, pastries, local soju, and some local fashionable dishes, and the big-headed ghost only cared about feasting, no longer looking at the young man.
The wooden planks of the staircase rattled for a while, and three burly men came up, the first man was burly-looking, a beard, and the other two looked relatively lean, but one of them seemed to have injuries on his body, and he walked with a limp. Glancing upstairs, he walked to the table in the middle of the street and sat down. Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the three of them asked for wine and food, and Xiao Er promised, poured tea for the three of them, and went down to prepare food. The bearded man picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, when there was a "ding" sound, the teacup shattered, and the hot tea splashed on the table. The lean man on the side slapped the table, "Who? Who is the pastime uncle, stand up!" Look at the table, a fried peanut is dripping around.
The big-headed ghost secretly said in his heart: "It must be the hands and feet made by that little white face." ”
The beard also stood up, glanced upstairs, and saw that everyone upstairs was still drinking and fist-fighting, and he didn't realize that someone's teacup was broken. The big-headed ghost and others on the side also ate and drank by themselves, and there was nothing abnormal, except for the white-clothed young man at the next table next to him.
His bearded eyes fell on the young man, and he stepped forward and hugged his fist: "Friend! Your Excellency looks very familiar, I don't know if you have ever seen it." ”
The young man smiled coldly, didn't pay attention to his beard, but said to the limping man: "I'm going to Mount Tai with this skill, I'm afraid I don't think there is no one in the world?"
The injured man pointed at the young man with his hand and said to the cheeks: "Big brother, it's this kid, he was the one who plotted against me last night." The voice is like a girl, and you remember it when you hear it. ”
When the bearded and lean men heard this, they hurriedly drew their respective blades and stepped forward to surround the young man in white. "Good boy, it was your brother who injured me last night, and this time I dare to tease the uncle, look at the knife!" The beard scolded while raising the knife to cut, the young man was not in a hurry, his palm touched the hilt of the long sword on the table, and he did not make a gesture, the scabbard had been pointed at the "period door acupoint" of the beard, and the beard could not move immediately, holding the waist knife in his hand, his eyes were turning around, but he couldn't move. When the thin man saw it, he shrank back in fright, and looked left and right with the injured man, in a dilemma for a while.
At this moment, the other diners in the restaurant knew that there was a fight here, and they stood up and flashed to the side, and the timid ones had already slipped downstairs. The three big-headed ghosts remained silent and continued to eat and drink.
The young man looked calm, tasted the tea in his hand, and frowned. "Little Er, why hasn't it been served for so long?"
"The dish is coming. As soon as the young man heard that the wind was not good, he grabbed the long sword on the table, jumped over the flying plate, and landed in the middle of the upstairs, and the plate fell to the window with a "pop", and the porcelain fell to the ground. I saw that there were two people, one tall and one short, standing beside the beard. The tall man wears a hat, his face is withered, he has a crane cane, cloud socks and bast shoes, the dwarf has a bun on his head, a blue sermon robe, a broom eyebrow and triangular eyes, and the horizontal flesh jumps up on his face.
Seeing that it was these two people, the big-headed ghost hurriedly shrank down and almost crouched on the table, signaling that Erniang and Mo'er were not good.
The tiger idiot has unlocked the acupoint for the beard, and the three of them are standing behind the tiger and crane with knives. The tiger idiot's eyes were cold: "Doll, who are you, why did you hurt my subordinates?" The young man also knew the name of the tiger and crane double-form, but he was not afraid. "Gan Lao Dao, Jiang Wuchang, others are afraid of you, but the master is not afraid. If you want to cut it, you can draw a path. Gandaoren looked at the long sword in the young man's hand and groaned silently. This young man's long sword is obviously different from the blade of the Central Plains, and the two-foot-long hilt is different at first glance, and it seems to be the unique blade of the Ding'an Guoqi Immortal Gate of Changbai Mountain.
The tiger idiot was angry in his heart, and slapped his palm at the young man, the young man's face did not change, an earth-shattering style, his body turned upside down in the air, and he drew out the long sword easily, and the restaurant seemed to have a cold lightning, and the tip of the sword pointed to the Gandao people's inner points, and the Gandao people turned around and bent their fingers on the tip of the sword, and the young man took advantage of the momentum to turn over and fall to the ground, and the sword returned to the sheath with a "bang".
The two of them have already exchanged a move, and before others can see it clearly, the two have already restrained their bodies. Gan Daoren nodded slightly, "This young man is so handsome, but his internal strength is a little feminine and not mellow. The young man also secretly praised in his heart, "The tiger and crane twin form is famous in the north, and it is indeed worthy of its name." ”
The Xianmen faction is the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the Ding'an Country, and the current faction in the palm of the "Mingling Sword" was named the "Embroidered Virgin" by the lord of the Ding'an State, and the tiger idiot secretly wondered if it was really the Immortal Sect, but it was extremely difficult to deal with, but I didn't know that the Ding'an Kingdom had nothing to do with the Xixia Kingdom, why this young man, several times against his subordinates.
Seeing that the upstairs was narrow, the tiger idiot said to the young man: "Doll, the upstairs is narrow, you can't show your skills, tonight you and I will compete under the dirt hill in the east outside the town, I don't know if you dare to come?"
The young man smiled contemptuously: "When the time comes, you must wait for the master." With that, he swept out of the building through the window, and several ups and downs were gone.
The tiger idiot shook his head, and also walked downstairs with Xuanhe and the three big men.
The big-headed ghost grinned and said to Sun Erniang: "Erniang, the right talent was seen by Lao Dao, these people have been looking for me for more than a year, how do you know that Lao Lou is under his nose." ”
Erniang poked his brain shell with her hand: "You must have done something unseemly, otherwise Xixia would take you thousands of miles away." ”
The big-headed ghost hurriedly said: "This is not to blame Lao Lou, I am just acting on the orders of the county lord, you have really wronged me." ”
Erniang ignored him, wrapped the dough cake with Mo'er, and then said: "Go back and settle down, but Zishi has to go outside the town to see how the two families are doing." ”
