Chapter 7 The Master of the Door Thief
This huge river and lake, for hundreds of years, although it has been divided into two by martial arts and green forests, there is still such a force, which has not belonged to these two since ancient times, and that is the mountain villa.
There is no so-called master-apprentice inheritance, no so-called vassals, and no so-called god worship. The villa has always been only based on blood marriage, with fathers, sons and grandsons as the link, passed down from generation to generation. They not only have their own ancestral martial arts, but also have their own clan rules and family laws, and they have always been between the martial arts, the green forest, and even outside the imperial court.
Chenjiabao in Wenzhou and Linjia Villa in Youzhou are the largest and most stable mountain villas in the past 100 years. These two family forces, under the proper management of their respective generations of family heads for more than 100 years, have begun to expand their land, raise horses and keep slaves, and their strength is already very strong. When it comes to the word mountain villa, the reputation of "South Chen and North Lin" on the rivers and lakes is talking about these two.
Linjia Villa is located in Xincheng County, Youzhou, although it is between the martial arts, the green forest, and the imperial court, but it has a high reputation in the rivers and lakes, the court and the field. The children of the Linjia are all over the world, but there is only one Linjia in the world. As for the four words "Youzhou Linjia", they are also specifically referred to as Linjia Villa, and will not be mistaken for other surnames Lin.
It's just recently that a disaster happened to Linjia Villa - the treasure of the town village disappeared. The owner of the village, Lin Han, was pacing back and forth in the study with an angry face, worried about this matter. This Lin Han is over fifty years old, and because of this incident, he is a little older. At this moment, there was a squeak, and two young children, a man and a woman, came in.
The man was not tall, but he was very white, and said, "Father, you will let me and Shuran go to find the treasure of Zhenzhuang." ”
The woman in colorful clothes on the side, delicate and cute, also pulled Lin Han's cuffs and said coquettishly: "That's right, uncle, those people who are not helpful are not as good as the two of us!"
When Lin Han saw these two beloved juniors, his anger calmed down a little, and he snorted: "You two will help me, aren't you just going to mess with me!"
Lin Shuran was unyielding: "Uncle, there are not enough people in the villa, anyway, Shumeng and I are idle, so it's better to do something for the villa." ”
These two are two of the most powerful martial arts in the younger generation of Linjia Villa, but unfortunately they are two daughters. The man was dressed as Lin Han's daughter Lin Shumeng, since she learned of the death of her only brother a few years ago, she suddenly changed her usual habits and began to pretend to be a man, not a daughter and a son. The other is his niece Linshuran.
In the past two years, Lin Shumeng has often been persuaded by his cousin Lin Shuran, and he gradually looked down on his brother's affairs, but this man's habit of dressing up can't be changed. The two of them are playful and love to mess with right and wrong, and they took advantage of the turmoil of the theft of the treasure of the town, so they shouted to go out to find it.
The treasure of Linjia Villa is called "Jinyingkou", and the reason why Linjia Villa can be so prosperous is also thanks to this thing. It is said that this "Golden Oriole Mouth" once shined a hundred years ago and caused a sensation all over the world. It was the Anshi Rebellion, Youzhou and the surrounding states and counties all fell, and only Linjia was unharmed, relying on this "Golden Yingkou" to kill thousands of An Lushan troops in a row. This makes the people who are as cruel as thieves and as ruthless as Shi Kou have to give up on building this villa. Since then, there has been such a sentence in the rivers and lakes to resemble it: "The golden warbler makes a sound and drinks the world's fish." "Its prestige is very powerful, and it can be seen.
Although the story of "Jinyingkou" is widely spread, there are very few people who have seen it, and most of the people who have seen it are dead. "Golden Oriole Mouth" has only appeared twice in a hundred years, and now, it is inevitable that people will speculate. So much so that some people say that it is a magic weapon, and some people say that it is a wonderful magic skill. For decades, except for the successive owners of Linjia Villa and a very small number of high-ranking predecessors, no one knows the truth.
But just a few months ago, the "Golden Yingkou" hidden in the ancestral hall of the Linjia family was stolen. The owner of the village was furious, but he didn't dare to say anything. He only informed a few elders of the clan and some of the young talents of the clan. They know about such top secrets because they are responsible for recovering the treasures of the town.
He has successively sent several elders and more than a dozen young talents in the villa out to pursue the whereabouts of Wen Junping, and also secretly ordered the children of the Linjia scattered in various places, vowing to recapture the "Golden Yingkou". This is related to the status of Linjia Villa, the rise and fall of a hundred years. If he had lost the "Golden Oriole's Mouth" at home, wouldn't it be like the strong crossbow without sharp arrows and the tiger without its fangs? But for two months in a row, these people didn't even find the shadow of Jun Ping, how could Lin Han not be worried? At this time, when he saw these two juniors asking for help, Lin Han felt quite helpless, he had lost a son, and only this only daughter was left. After a long time, he sighed: "That's it, you two should go too." ”
After the two rode out of the Linjia Villa, Linshu dreamed of the white hair that his father had born for this, and said angrily: "Then ask Junping is also bold, how did he steal things and steal to our Linjia?
It turned out that it was none other than the one who stole the "Golden Yingkou", but Wen Junping, who was known as the "gentleman on the eaves". The reason why Linjia Villa knew that it was him was because he left a calligraphy treasure on the ground of the Linjia ancestral hall, on which were written with incense ash "Come by stepping on the eaves, take the treasure and go" eight big characters. This method of taking treasure and leaving his name is his consistent style of theft.
Lin Shuran said with a smile: "He is not only bold, but also very capable." How did you get his name as a 'gentleman on the eaves'?"
Linshu Mengqi said: "How did you come here? Isn't it self-proclaimed? Otherwise, who would be so stupid to call a thief a gentleman?"
Lin Shuran said with a look of disdain: "Tsk, you don't know this." Ask Junping about this person, who is proud of his excellent skills and clever skills, and no one can beat him, so he is ashamed to hide and hide, and likes to take treasures openly. At that time, he also released the arrogance of 'Liang Jian is not a big hero, but the eaves are real gentlemen', so the people in the rivers and lakes gave him the name of 'Gentleman on the eaves' to distinguish him from those 'Liang Gentlemen' who can only steal chickens and dogs behind their backs, steal pearls and steal jade. ”
Lin Shumeng was even more angry when he heard this: "No matter how upright you are, you are still a thief who steals things, what an insult to the word 'gentleman'!"
Lin Shuran shook his head and said, "You are really stubborn." ”
When Lin Shumeng heard this, he said angrily: "I said that you are the person who asks the family or the person who is from the family, how can you help him speak!"
Lin Shuran didn't care, and put on a grimace to send her.
Lin Shumeng asked again: "What kind of character is Junping, and does he have any grudges with my family?"
Lin Shuran sighed: "Alas, I said that Lin Da Qianjin, oh no, Lin Da Gongzi, in the past few years, because of your brother's affairs, you no longer care about outside affairs, but you are really lonely and ......widowed."
Lin Shumeng intercepted her words: "Say it quickly!"
Linshu straightened his sideburns and said with a smile: "Speaking of this, it's not easy to ask Junping. He is the founder of the sect in the green forest lineage. And this thief faction, a new sect that has only risen in the past few years, has gradually gained a firm foothold in the rivers and lakes under his leadership. ”
Lin Shumeng shook his head puzzled: "Since he is the master of the thief door, why don't they just go to the thief door to find him? Why can't they find him for two months? Could it be that he is not in the door?"
Lin Shuran explained: "Although this thief sect is a sect, it is not like other sects that have a fixed mountain gate. The thief and even the thief are only nominal beings, and they are the spiritual leaders of many thieves on the rivers and lakes. However, the burglar door is also divided into the inner door and the outer door. I heard that the inner disciples are all masters, abide by the purpose and rules of the thief sect, and pay attention to 'thieves also have a way', and the outer door includes all the thieves in the world. Therefore, this thief door is small and small, and big and big. ”
Saying that, she sighed to herself again, revealing admiration: "This question Junping is really amazingly talented, with a superb technique, he actually dominates the thieves in the world and creates this thief faction, which is really powerful!"
Linshu dreamed of her appearance, and couldn't help but hit her head with his finger, provoking her unyielding counterattack.
As soon as Linshumeng and Linshuran came out of Youzhou, they were like sleepy birds out of the cage and wild horses from Xinjiang. They went all the way south, just playing in the mountains and rivers, and fighting unevenly, but they had already forgotten about asking Junping.
And the dignified thief asked Junping, but these days he is alone in a restaurant, drinking and dancing. There was no hiding or worried look on his face, as if he was sure that the people at home would not find him, or even if they did, he would not be afraid.
This is an unknown restaurant in an unknown town, and Wen Junping has been here for more than a month. He just drinks and watches dancing every day, and when his interest is high, he even gives a few rewards. Wen Junping doesn't have a lot of money, but he is not short of money. When needed, I always ask some guests to "borrow" some wine money. With his means, he can naturally take it at will. Since he didn't have to pay back the borrowed money, he was very generous, which made the shopkeepers here very happy with him.
Wen Junping still sat in the same position today, beckoned the shopkeeper, and shouted: "The wine and food are still the same." This voice is not slow, not too big, not too small, and it is very comfortable to listen to. He ordered the same food and drink, poured himself a drink, and waited for the beautiful peach blossom dancer to come out and dance.
The reason why he stayed in this restaurant and didn't leave was to watch this dancing girl dance a few more times. Wen Junping thought that he was not a womanizer, but he was biased against this dancing girl at first sight, and he wanted to see her for the second time. So there was a third, a fourth......
Although this dancing girl is beautiful and beautiful, she will only dance once every three days. Today is the day she is going to dance, so that there are many people who come to drink in this restaurant, and the downstairs is already full.
Wen Junping was drinking wine, and it was very rare for two people dressed as rivers and lakes in the restaurant, a man and a woman, who crossed the first floor and landed on the elegant seat by the window on the second floor. It's just a remote town, and it's hard to see people in the rivers and lakes.
Wen Junping glanced at it slightly, and saw that the woman was dressed in black, with a graceful figure, and she had an indescribable romance. And the man was dressed in blue, and he didn't have much to show off. He concluded that the two were not enemies of the Linjia Villa, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to drink his wine.
When the dancing girl appeared, there was a lot of joy in the restaurant. The man and the woman behaved like a long man, not like those ordinary drinkers. It wasn't until the dancing girl danced to the point that Jun Ping suddenly heard the young man in blue and couldn't help but cheer: "What a song "Scarlet Peach Blossom", what a peach blossom dance!"
