Furong Street, Daming Lake, Jinan Prefecture, has a history of 1,000 years, there is a water spring on the street, because the sage Mencius "Qing Si Mao Ying, Turbidity Si Wet Foot" named. Not far from the adjacent spring, is the Yinglou, the frame of the beam-lifting type, surrounds a square patio in the center, there is a clear spring coming out of the ground, the glazed palace lamp on the four sides, the carved beams of the painting building, the small canal leads the spring water around the building, the upstairs from time to time comes to tap the board, the sound of low chanting and singing.

At this moment, noon has passed, and the store is still full of customers, only a lot more than in the past. The shop is busy greeting customers, and from time to time calling the bartender to bring tea and pour water. Occasionally, I listen to the guests talking, and they talk about the end of Furong Street, and the matter of Lin Dart's daughter in the Oolong Dart Bureau.

This oolong dart game is one of the three major dart games in the rivers and lakes, and it has been escorted by bodyguards for more than ten years, and there has never been any mistake. Lin Kun, the head of the dart, is bold and righteous, but anyone who asks for his door, regardless of whether he is high or low, will help.

Lin Kun's daughter, named Wanqiu, smart and elegant, famous since childhood, at the age of fifteen, because of a pair of stumped the talented people of Jinan Mansion, thus gaining the reputation of the first talented woman in Jinan Mansion. is famous, and the wealthy family who came to propose marriage has broken through the threshold, which is the family of Bai Ding, and they also want to see the beauty of talented women.

At this moment, Lin Wanqiu is married, and Furong Street is a must-pass place, and there are many people who come to watch the ceremony.

Just when everyone was talking, at the door of the Yinglou, suddenly a person shouted in a loud voice: "Little Er! Little Er!" Everyone saw a flower in front of them, and there were already four more short people in the restaurant.

These four people are short, but the clothes they wear are fat, with fluttering sleeves and monkey play, and their appearance is even more unbearable, one has a wine gourd tied on his head, a dried lotus leaf is pinned to his bun, and the last person's red nose is as if he has just been hit by a fist.

The four of them broke into the Maoying Building, grabbed the customer's peanuts and threw them into their mouths, and the bartender hurriedly stopped them. The four of them jumped to the table to grab the food, and the table was so lively that the guests stood up in all directions, and the bartender pulled down with a heroic voice.

One of the snatchers of the flask suddenly said, "I heard that today is the ...... What is it to marry a daughter, we are going to rob relatives. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and burst into laughter.

Outside the Maoying Building, a crisp voice suddenly said, "Little Second Brother." The bartender hurriedly agreed, and turned his head to look, only to see a little beggar in ragged clothes standing outside the door.

The bartender thought he had made a mistake, and when he looked outside the door, there was no one else, could it be that the crisp voice just now came from the mouth of this little beggar? Look at this little beggar who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, his clothes were ragged, his head was wrapped in strips of rags, and his face was dirty and had not been washed for a few days. Seeing the little beggar with his hands behind his back, he jumped into the door like a child, and the bartender hurriedly stopped him.

The little beggar suddenly smiled: "Haoyinglou, well, it's very beautiful! Little second brother, borrow it from me." The bartender thought he had misheard. The shopkeeper, who was comforting the customer, squinted at him and shouted angrily, "Get out." ”

"It's stingy. The little beggar grimaced at the shopkeeper, and when he saw a big man with a stick, the little beggar turned and ran, shouting as he ran, "Don't lend it to me now, but lend it to the ghost later." "I took a detour and ran upstairs in reverse.

The shopkeeper was furious: "Catch!" Two big men rushed up. The little beggar was halfway upstairs, and a big man greeted him with a fierce momentum, and he reached out and grabbed it. The little beggar was not afraid, but smiled and said, "I can't catch it." Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly became shorter, and before he could see what was going on, the little beggar was already standing on the top of the stairs, and the big man, with the people who had caught up, rolled down the stairs in one go.

The store was furious.

On the street, there was a sudden uproar, and the sound of gongs and drums came from afar, and a person shouted, "Look, the bride's sedan chair is here." "The guests who were eating tea upstairs hugged the railing and watched.

The little beggar seized the opportunity to squeeze into the crowd. As he was pushing, his back was suddenly checked by something, and he hurriedly lowered his head, it was a long sword wrapped in cloth, slightly revealing the corner of the hilt. The long sword was in the hands of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. Sure enough, the little beggar secretly planned in his heart.

In the sound of crackling firecrackers, the greeting team is charming, the current high-headed horses, four dart masters pressed the formation, followed by the team of big red happy characters, behind the team is the maid who sprinkled flowers along the road, a big red sedan chair carried by eight people followed, followed by a group of dowry maids, mothers-in-law and small servants, and finally there are two dart masters to press the formation, this team is not magnificent.

Everyone was admiring themselves, and the crowd suddenly said disdainfully: "It's so good-looking, there is no bride in this sedan chair at all." ”

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads, and it was the little beggar who spoke. When the little beggar said this, the big men in the courtyard had already arrived, and when they saw a stick hit on the head, the little beggar was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the sword-wielding young man.

The young man was startled, flashed sideways, raised his arm, and directly threw the two big men out. The others were surprised, and the young man threw out a silver ingot and said angrily to the big man, "Get out of here." Seeing that the little beggar was about to run away, he grabbed him and said, "I still want to leave." ”

The little beggar hurriedly turned around and smiled: "The young man spares his life." They hit me first, and it has nothing to do with me. I wanted to break free but couldn't, so I just listened to the young man: "You said that there is no bride in the sedan chair." The little beggar nodded hurriedly: "There was no one." Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Why don't we make a bet and pay fifty taels of silver?"

The young man saw him stretch out five dirty fingers, unconsciously took a step back, and said in disgust: "If there is no one in the sedan chair, fifty taels will be yours." If there is someone, I will break your neck. The little beggar hurriedly touched his neck and said with a smile: "You can't twist your neck, it hurts." Fifty taels of silver, you can still collect it. Wait!" pushed away the crowd of onlookers, put his little black hands behind his back, and went downstairs with his toes high.

In the crowd of onlookers downstairs, the little beggar looked left and right, raised his head and snapped his fingers at the young man upstairs, signaled that he was optimistic, smiled, and said to a young woman beside him: "Oh, my sister is so beautiful." He stretched out his hand and touched the woman's face, and made five finger prints.

The man next to him was furious and raised his hand to hit. The little beggar hurriedly dodged, and took the opportunity to hold the woman's waist again, and said with a smile: "Oh mom, it's so soft." I almost didn't make the man angry, and while scolding, I looked for a tool, picked up the soles of my shoes and pounced directly.

The little beggar laughed, ran away, saw the greeting team coming, slipped under his feet, passed the four horses in front of him, pretended to fall, pushed the greeting team, and took the opportunity to grab the sedan chair screen, empty seats, sure enough, no one.

Everyone upstairs and the boy were surprised, and the boy slammed his fist on the railing and turned around angrily. The little beggar cried out, "Oh, my silver." Hit the dart master headfirst, the dart master was furious: "You beggar......" A punch was about to be thrown, but he was surprised: "You...... You...... You are....... ”

The little beggar grabbed his fist, stuffed the paper ball into the hand of the dart master, rolled to the ground, held his knee and cried bitterly: "Oh, my leg is broken, my leg was broken by you, you pay for my leg." ”

The dart master understood, and the silver threw out, "Today is Miss Lin's big day, let you live for the time being, don't get out of here." ”

The little beggar chirped, picked up the silver, and jumped into the crowd. Because of the little beggar's toss, the crowd dispersed. The team of relatives went away, and the four strange people who claimed to rob relatives looked at the door of the building, and smiled, and two of them chased in the direction where the little beggar disappeared. The other two had already quietly followed the young man and his gang as they left.

As they left, a white-clothed figure suddenly walked out of the attic opposite, with a thin body as willow, a purple-blue face, long hair and a shawl, and a faint green ghost-like eye in the hair, and his body floated away, and he was gone.
