The master and apprentice are thousands of miles away, and the scholars of Suping City kneel down (2)
Sanli Road is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is steep, Sanli Road occupies a hundred miles of place, the border of the three countries borders, known as "the flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend the sorrow and climb".
The bandits will be scattered at will, and the garrisons of nearby towns will break their heads and not be found. Even if they are found, these mountain bandits who tie their lives to their belts will resist stubbornly, and they will be able to fight with the garrison to the death. Moreover, there are occasional frictions in the border garrisons of the three countries, and no one has so much spare time to take care of these bandits.
But it just so happened that this place was a must for merchants and smugglers, the terrain was rugged, the boundaries were remote, the people were fierce, and the location was favorable, so bandits were breeded, and then the darts of nearby states and counties became a popular road.
With the trend of mutual disagreement between the dart game and the bandits, it has gradually evolved into the more ruthless the bandits and the more dart people. There are many darts and bandits, and there is no money to rob. Thinking about starting from the number of robberies, the copycat bandits who went down the mountain three or five times a month turned to stay in the cottage for only three or five days a month, and ambushed on the main road the rest of the time. This has invisibly become the capital of the dart people to sit on the ground without fear.
Therefore, the huge profits of the dart people can sometimes even reach fifty percent of the dart goods, and there are not a few people who want to make a fortune with this piece of fragrant gluttony, so the people who apprentice into the dart bureau are in an endless stream, and the dart board is thriving like a bamboo.
The most surprising thing is that there is also a grapevine, the dart bureau gives some money to the rogues, so that they can sacrifice their lives to rob it, so as to continue to push up the price of darts, the two are mutually beneficial, put some battles for most of the helpless businessmen to see, then they must not be scared to the fart and urine?
There is a unique place in Sanli Road, hidden in the mountains of the boundary, and what is rooted here is a "Sanli Cottage" named after Sanli Road.
On the lookout platform on the cliff next to the cottage, there was a rough man with an extremely ugly face drinking at this time, and next to him there was a young man with a negative sword facing a very different face, who was hanging the wine jug, looking at the rippling clay brew in the wine jug.
"Second master, I heard that Suping City has been closed, do you say, can the old and the young enter the city?"
"Yo, Wang Jingdao, aren't you swearing to kill the master and apprentice on that trail today? You also took the little doctor's beloved kitsch for yourself, and you have been a mountain bandit for so many years, why are you so ignorant? That thing is worth a fart money. The young man with the sword chuckled. "It's good now, I robbed other people's belongings, but I still care about others, hypocritically. ”
"I haven't been born and raised in this poor country since I was a child, and I haven't seen it, but it feels rare to see it. Wang Jingdao took the small and delicate Shang Tong in his hand and said narrowly.
"And although my Wang Jingdao said that he was reckless, he was a little reckless, but he was not brainless, on the way back today, I was thinking, in the past half a month, the businessmen did not dare to set foot on the three leaves, our business is getting less and less, and then let the plague continue to run rampant, we will sit in the cottage and eat the mountain, when this group of brothers who have no skills and can only dance knives and guns will not starve to death?" Wang Jingdao complained, " Now that I've figured it out, I don't hope that the doctors who practice medicine are really talented and learned, and when they get to the city, they can get rid of the plague as soon as possible, so we can have some hope. ”
"In the name of hanging pots to help the world, it should be easy to enter the city, but if you want to go out of the city, it will be difficult to reach the sky without power and power. After taking a sip, the second master looked up at the sky and said.
"Why is that? He's a doctor. Wang Jingdao, who has always admitted death, can't figure it out.
The second master laughed at this.
"By the way, I'm not chic enough to appear today, right?"
"Chic!"
"Bluffing?"
"The knives are all on people's necks, can you not bluff people?"
"Haha, not really. I feel that the little kid who has never seen this battle is about to be scared by me to pee his pants, I am an expert in this regard, the second master, you should learn from me, you will rob in the future, if you want to be the first to appear, you have to be more chic than me, more bluffing. Draw your sword and shout..."
Wang Jingdao danced with his hands as he spoke, but unfortunately he couldn't come up with words that were both chic and bluffing. After holding back for a long time, he held back a sentence, "Take your life today, and your wealth can be offset!" and even pretended to be chic and happy when he said it, drank a lot, and pretended to draw a sword and said it.
The young man with the sword looked at this man who had never spoken the words of Wen Xuan, who knew nothing about the theory of Wen Xuan, and was most afraid of reasoning, and even every time he heard the word "consultation" in robbery, he was afraid that he would not be able to discuss with others, and the rough man who was furious turned into a twisted sword, and said such a nondescript limerick, laughing.
Wang Jingdao looked at the second master and smiled happily, this man who never left the knife, killed countless knife-bearers who were known for his cold-bloodedness three years ago, and he laughed unconsciously.
Wang Jingdao has special respect for the young man with the sword who came to the cottage three years ago and let the owner of the village set a rule "only the goods, not kill people", although he just started the arrival of the young man with the sword, and saw that their cottage has changed from a first-class benchmark on the road with a reputation of "no killing, no bandits", to a third-rate cottage that has not seen blood for many days, and has seen blood retreat for three points.
But later, the leaders of the major dart bureaus, without exception, on the road that the border merchants of the three countries must pass through, all planted a big heel. Fifty miles away from the city of Suping, was the famous "dart city", in which the bull's ear of the Baizhou dart bureau, known as "no dart dare not pick up, no state can not go", this posture is enough to bluff people, the dart head of the dart board is still a deep skill of the old rivers and lakes. Wang Jingdao, who was the original leader of the cottage, was afraid of the knife, and wanted to rob the dart from this old Jianghu, one word.
"Difficult!"
There was a robbery, and it took eight lifetimes for blood mold to meet this old Jianghu, and when the whole village was silent and lurking in the distance, he thought that he had run away in vain today. But this young man with a sword who didn't know the height of the sky was actually alone, stepping straight down the cliff, stepping on a few green leaves in the air, and then landing smoothly in front of the carriage of the dart game. The bandits who had just entered the cottage and returned to rob the darts, seeing this pleasing scene, couldn't help but exclaim: "Dear mother, there are really masters who can do light skills." ”
"Rob money!" said the sword-bearing young man in an extremely restrained tone, and the old oilman who had been on this road for many years felt that something was wrong when he heard it, this was obviously a layman. But it seems that the young man with the sword has already felt that he is too domineering, and said apologetically: "The seniors give a little, and the meaning will be successful, and the cottage will not be able to open the pot." ”
The old Jianghu was annoyed and angry by this back and forth, and the murder and robbery of mountain bandits in this area is almost a matter of course, but now that he encounters such an incompetent mountain bandit, it always makes people feel that he is a sanctimonious old oilman, and he is honest and honest.
The most arrogant is the whimsical one-man cut off the beard, and happened to want to set up a prestige for the newly recruited disciples in the back, and a wicked smile leaked from his face, without saying a word, he made a direct move, and he had to fight in close quarters when he drew the knife, and he waved the knife and decisively slashed down on the head of the young man with the sword.
The young man with the sword was extremely calm, even calm to the realm of conceit, he did not have the slightest intention of drawing the sword, but his body turned upside down smartly, and then stepped on the door of the old rivers and lakes with his strength. This kick made this old Jianghu, who was famous for his specialization in the three major dart games, never raised his head from the "dart game city".
Then the cottage robbed the dart, with the protection of the young man with the sword, the dart action was invincible, and the cottage was also full of money. As more and more darts arrive in this area, the prestige of the major dart bureaus has plummeted, making the major dart bureaus that have been crowded and countless darts have become crowded and the business is bleak. After starving to death a few dart games, the dart line completely collapsed in this area.
The young man with the sword who could have collected all his belongings said a puzzling rule. "In the future, the property, no matter what, can only be taken 20%!"
This made Wang Jingdao, who had been licking blood for many years, very depressed, but when faced with the real prestige that brought to the cottage and the boxes full of gold and silver treasures, he pinched his nose and recognized it.
The merchants who tied their necks around their belts and carried out the goods gradually discovered that this gang of bandits actually only oversold the goods and did not kill people, and only took 20% of the money and goods when they robbed them. Even when this gang of bandits dominates the family in this area, so that the businessmen have no worries, some shrewd businessmen will even be grateful to the sobs and obediently send the same amount of money as the goods more than 20% or less than 40% to honor the cottage, this knife hand who is not afraid of the sky and the earth understands a truth.
It turns out that you can make money without killing people.
And the most important thing for the knife-bearer to change his character to this young man was that when he happened to kill a wild boar in the cottage to celebrate his achievements, there were two straw bag bandits who had no interest in blood, and they suddenly aroused the knife-bearer's sense of distress. ”
But when I saw the young man with the sword carrying the two blood-fainting bandits to the room to rest, poured two bowls of water and put them at the head of the bed, and carried the title of the second master given by the owner of the village, personally carried the short knife, neatly divided the pork, and did the work that the poor child who should have just entered the cottage did. The knife bearer and the young man had nothing to say at the beginning, but they had nothing to talk about.
If nothing else, who asked this master to bring them these homeless, hard-to-get by, and had to fall into the grass to bring a thing that they should least have, but also the rarest.
Human!
The only thing that makes Wang Jingdao regret is that there are two places, one is that this master has been robbing darts for three years, and the robbery is always not magnificent, not enough to bluff people, he has said bitterly I don't know how many times, and the second master is still not good at the momentum, and every time he appears, he has to throw bricks and lead jade, which is sad for him. can only sigh silently, the second master, there is no martial arts, he is a real master, but in the kung fu of robbery, he still doesn't get started!
The second is that I have never seen the second master draw a sword. Wang Jingdao often thinks, if we don't draw the sword, the second master can walk sideways on the three roads, so what about the second master who draws the sword?
Wang Jingdao thought about it for three years and couldn't think of it.
Inside the gate of Suping City, a group of carriages and horses rushed to the gate of the city. The soldiers at the city gate looked at the menacing children of the wealthy families in the city, and then heard that it was the eldest prince who was too guarded in the city to come by order, and the leader of the soldiers was sure in his heart that today was a good day to show his face. So he gave a look, and the gatekeepers, who were originally lazily leaning on the city wall or sitting on the ground, were energetic in the blink of an eye, and they lined up.
But to the great disappointment of the head of the soldiers, the eldest prince did not lift the curtain when he arrived at the city gate, but the opener who was covered in iron armor, holding a token, said majestically, "The token is here, let it go!" Even the opener didn't look at him.
But the head of the soldier who is very good at handling people's feelings and sophistication has not given up, since he can't show his face in front of the eldest prince, it is best to show his voice. Still through the curtain of the carriage, he raised his voice a little, even if he heard a coughing sound with the same symptoms as the plague in the carriage, he turned one eye open and said with one eye closed: "Let go!" After a group of people left the city, he didn't forget to say: "The eldest prince walks slowly, I will wait for the famous doctor in Suping City." ”
After the soldiers with the amazing waist strength of the tiger-backed bear waited for a team of people to go away, they asked stupidly: "Why did the eldest prince go out to seek medical treatment and save the city, and he also brought a cart of maids and a cart of treasures." ”
"The plague is rampant, the people in the city are not happy, the eldest prince is not afraid of the cold and heat, and he works tirelessly to go out of the city for the well-being of the people, even if he brings ten carts of maids and ten carts of jewelry, it is also a matter of course!" The leader of the soldiers gave the mouthy elm head a chestnut and reprimanded. "With your connections, can you find a famous doctor when you go out of the city?"
The blind soldier was speechless, and had to smile awkwardly.
When the carriage and horse passed by the master and apprentice, the boy and brother who were hidden in the brocade car embroidered curtain, panicked in the car, coughed a few times, and opened the curtain with a ghost.
"Stop the car!
There was a terminally ill sound in the car, and then a young man in a brocade robe came out of the car, and crawled to the ground in front of the master and apprentice, and without saying a word, he knocked his head three times.
"Old immortal, save me!" The famous Taishou eldest prince in the city now knelt on the ground, as if he had grasped the last straw, hugging the thigh of the master, who was no different from a refugee, and never let go, for fear that he would die as soon as he let go. The handsome maids in the car saw this scene, each pear blossom brought rain, and saw that the eldest son couldn't kneel for a long time, and they all came to help.
However, because he was in a hurry when he got off the sedan chair, he couldn't breathe, and the boy coughed heavily, and the maids all subconsciously leaned back, and even the timid and weaker ones screamed in fright.
"Childe, don't be in a hurry, you have something to say, and you should do your best. The old man bowed unhurriedly.
"Old doctor, I have a plague, and all the doctors in the city are dead. I've been coughing all the time lately, and I almost didn't cough up my heart and liver. Brother Gongzi looked like a mournful woman, and looked up at the old man with teary eyes.
When the master heard this, he frowned, but when he finished checking the pulse, he smiled at Brother Gongzi and said: "Gongzi is too tired, his body is weak and occasionally cold, as long as Gongzi can control the things in the room a little, and then with the tonic medicine to nourish blood and qi, within a few days, the medicine will be cured." The old man continued: "Childe, now the green silk is untidy and the body is out of order, not a plague but a heart disease. As he spoke, he took some medicine to clear the heat in the medicine box, packed and sorted it out and handed it to the tearful boy.
"Old doctor, don't fool me. "Since I was a child, I don't know how many Jianghu Lang who claim to be Hua Tuo alive in Suping City, and even once slandered that if every doctor is Hua Tuo alive, then Hua Tuo's name is really worthless, and I feel more and more disdain for this kind of third-rate Lang who walks the rivers and lakes.
But now there is no doctor in Suping City who can prescribe a prescription, and then go west, it will take three hundred miles to catch up with the hope of finding a famous doctor for treatment.
"Only by practicing medicine to save people, how can there be a saying that practicing medicine can deceive people? The old man has used his medical skills for most of his life to make a statement for his son, son, there will be no plague!" said the old man with a salute.
Brother Gongzi, who thought he was terminally ill, was overjoyed when he heard the old man's promise, no matter whether the old man in front of him was a quack or a miracle doctor, a patient could hear from the doctor that he was not sick, and that was more reassuring than taking more medicine.
"Come, bring thirty taels of silver!" When the heavy thirty taels were handed over to the old man, it seemed that he still felt indebted to the old man, so he took another fifty taels of silver and put it in the money bag.
The old gentleman wanted to shirk it, but the domestic servant with the spear shot in front of the old gentleman.
The boy who was calling for wind and rain in the city had a temper, and the originally enthusiastic boy threw the money into the medicine box at will, and said in a harsh tone unusually: "Old man, don't be too little, your little medicine money is worth a few pennies if it is broken, don't come to the old routine of wanting to refuse and welcome." In this Suping City, I want your life, you have to give, I give you money, you have to take it!"
The old man was speechless by this sudden change, just looked at the little apprentice who was still red-eyed beside him, and smiled awkwardly at Brother Gongzi and said, "Forgive sins, forgive sins." The old man is rude, since the son's kindness is difficult, the old man can't excuse it, thank you son. ”
Brother Gongzi took many maidservants who wept with joy when they heard that Gongzi had not been infected with the plague and strode into the sedan chair. "Let's go, go out of the city to find a miracle doctor. The carriage and horses then disappeared on the official road.
The young man next to him was red-eyed and muttered indignantly: "My master is a divine doctor, a divine doctor who can cure the people of Suping City, and the most divine doctor in the world." ”
The old gentleman saw the angry young man, picked up the money bag and shook it in front of the child.
"Hungry, let's go, let's go into the city to eat good meat and sleep in a big bed!"
