Chapter 7: Drunken Swing

Tang He and Da Kui returned to the Land Temple, and all the righteous people were anxious. Everyone met and used Yang Luji's head to pay tribute to the dead heroes. It was already delusional to go to the mass grave to retrieve the bodies of the heroes, so I had to make a spirit tablet out of a wooden board and stand on the offering table. The head of Yang Luji was offered as incense, and everyone hastily worshipped.

After everyone finished saluting, Tang He asked, "I wonder what your plans are in the future?"

All the righteous people had already admired Tang He, and they all bowed their hands and said: "We are willing to hold the whip and kick for General Tang, and let General Tang drive me."

Da Kui also said: "I also want to follow Brother Tang, I will follow wherever you go."

Lao Huang smiled: "Well, these heroes can follow General Tang and make the best use of their talents." But this little brother...?" The implication is that Da Kui is a little disgusted and doesn't know martial arts!

Da Kui and Tang He got along this night, and they had already been confused about Tang and worship. At this time, when I saw Lao Huang say this, he hurriedly said: "I want to learn martial arts from Brother Tang, Brother Tang, you can accept me."

Tang He said to Da Kui: "Little brother, it's not that my Tang He is a good master, there are still big things to do when I come out this time." Even if you return to the army, you will be busy with military affairs every day and have no time to teach you. After a little hesitation, he said: "A mountain in the rivers and lakes is still higher than a mountain, you had better find a famous teacher to learn art." After that, he turned his head to Pang Heihu and said, "Take sixty taels of silver." ”

Pang Heihu was stunned for a moment and said: "The marshal of Linxing only approved two hundred taels of silver, and the cost of this journey is only less than one hundred taels."

Tang He said: "Let's be frugal, forty taels of silver is enough." Pang Heihu muttered, took out sixty taels of silver from the money bag in his arms and handed it to Tang He.

Tang He turned to Da Kui and said, "Little brother, this is the silver I bet I lost to you, take it." After saying that, he put the silver in Da Kui's hand, and Da Kui looked at the three heavy ingots in his hand and bowed his head and was silent.

Tang He said: "Without further ado, it's time for us to go." Then he led the people out of the temple gate and took the road to the north. Da Kui silently followed behind the crowd, and Tang He looked back and stopped.

Da Kui bowed his head and walked in front of Tang He and said, "Brother Tang, I'll send you."

Tang He said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone hasn't eaten water and rice since yesterday." To the front town everyone to eat and drink happily, after the wine and food are full, then go on the road. The righteous men applauded.

In the town of Meisan, twenty miles north of Jeju City, everyone found a tavern and divided it into two tables to order wine and food to talk about booze. Everyone is reckless and informal. A large piece of meat and a big bowl of wine, only Da Kui lowered his head and sat beside Tang He without moving his chopsticks, Tang He saw it and asked, "Little brother, why don't you eat?"

Da Kui said angrily: "I still want to follow Brother Tang." ”

Tang He smiled: "Men are ambitious in all directions, and heroes don't have a lot of alcohol." Come, drink this bowl of wine and talk about it", he grabbed the wine jar and poured a full bowl of wine in the porcelain bowl in front of Da Kui.

Seeing that there was a turnaround, Da Kui picked up the wine bowl and drank it in two sips.

"Good" soup and cheers, and poured another bowl for Da Kui.

Da Kui asked, "Is Brother Tang willing to accept me?"

Tang He said: "It's not that I want to take you, but I can show you a place to go." ”

When Da Kui heard this, he lowered his head and complained, "Still don't accept me." ”

Tang He Zhengse said: "Although my master died early due to illness, I still have a master uncle who is called 'Infatuated Daoist'. His old man is now a monk in Feiyunguan, Tiantai Mountain, Taizhou, and I can give you a letter to recommend you to go to him to learn art. ”

Da Kui hurriedly asked, "How is his ability?"

Tang He smiled mysteriously and said: "There is no trace when you step on the snow, and the flying leaves also hurt people."

Hearing this, Da Kui shouted happily: "Shopkeeper, quickly bring paper and pen, hurry up." ”

Tang He laughed, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. After taking the pen and paper from the bartender's hand, Tang He thought about it for a while and waved it. After writing the letter, it was dried and folded in the hall and handed it to Da Kui, who was happy to put the letter in his arms like a baby.

Tang He said: "Now the little brother's mind is gone, let's eat quickly." Saying this, Da Kui felt really hungry. With his left hand, he grabbed two steamed buns from the table. Holding chopsticks in his right hand, this ventilation rolled up the clouds, during which the soup and the man added two dishes.

When Da Kui was full, Tang He smiled and said, "Little brother has a good amount of food, hahahaha." Da Kui was a little embarrassed to laugh, he ate ten steamed buns and some soup dishes in a row, and no one around him could eat them better than him.

Tang He said again: "Back then, I was as old as you, and I was carefree. Later, when the homeland was destroyed, the relatives died, and the dead were scattered, so they abandoned literature and martial arts. Determined to drive out the barbarians and restore our rivers and mountains. All the righteous people looked at Tang He, but they didn't say a word.

Tang He said again: "Brother Da Kui, since you call me Brother Tang." Then the eldest brother will advise you a few words, you still have a high hall in your family, don't be willful in everything. As the saying goes: the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be filial and the parent is not there, which is a big regret in life. So you have to serve your mother well at home, I don't know if you listen to your eldest brother's words or not?"

Da Kui smiled and said, "I will listen to what Brother Tang says", and he smirked.

Tang He said: "In this case, let's drink three bowls of wine", Da Kui Yiyan picked up the wine bowl and Tang He drank three bowls in a row, and Tang He laughed and shouted.

Tang and the old Huang on the other side said: "I have heard for a long time that General Tang can be literate and martial, you might as well show your literary talents today to help the wine!"

Tang He said with a smile: "When I was a teenager, I also danced and wrote ink, and today everyone has this Yaxing." Tang was ugly. With that, he picked up his pen to feed the ink, and walked over to a wall of powder to make a little fuss. I saw that the pen walked and the dragon and snake handwriting was strong, and a poem was left on the powder wall in a moment.

"Drunken Mountains and Rivers" has eight thousand miles in mind and ambition to capture the sun and the moon. Looking up to the sky and laughing, startling the birds, let the clouds and sunny days lack the wine and sweetness. Overlooking the sea, Ang Beidou, there is a cup of agar pulp. The scenery only seeks from the dangerous peaks, and the sweet springs only have strange rivers. Don't wait for a blank head, drink to dispel ......your sorrows. The inscription is: Haozhou Tang Dingchen

As soon as Tang He put down his pen, there was a cheer around him. Not only the righteous people, but also the other diners also high-fived. Da Kui secretly made up his mind in his eyes: "You must learn martial arts well and study more." In the future, I will also be a big hero like Brother Tang'.

At this time, Tang He was already a god-like existence in Da Kui's eyes. Da Kui was full of reverie, and he didn't feel a little trance. The experience of the past two days is the first time in Da Kui's life, but all the fatigue and pain Da Kui feels that it is worth it, and he has just drunk a few more bowls of wine. When the wine came up, Da Kui was overwhelmed by the strength of the wine and fell asleep on the table.

When Da Kui woke up, he found himself in a bed with a quilt on his body. Sit up with your drowsy head covered, and look around at everything that is so unfamiliar. Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly reached out and touched his arms, but fortunately the silver and letters were still there. I got out of bed and put on my shoes, and when I went out of the room, I happened to see the bartender.

Da Kui hurriedly asked, "Hey, little second brother." How am I sleeping here?"

The bartender said, "You are drunk, and the person at the table with you ordered the shop to take care of you." ”

Da Kui hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

The bartender replied, "I'll leave after eating, but don't worry." Those guests have already paid the bill before leaving. ”

"Brother Tang is gone?" Da Kui muttered as he walked out of the restaurant.

The bartender chased after him from behind: "Guest officer, your flat burden", Da Kui took the flat shoulder and turned around and walked home blankly.
