Chapter 3: After Ten Years of Life and Death, the Seven Men of the True Self Are Famous (v. 18) Wake me up
At the beginning of August, although the summer has left, there is still some residual heat in Huzhou City at this time. On the main street in the city, the sound of hawkers shouting and selling can be heard from time to time, "There are a lot of people in the city who are dancing and playing with swords these days, and even our business has improved a lot." ”
In front of the largest restaurant on the main street of Huzhou, "Xingwu Building", the vendor selling orange cakes looked at the six knights with swords who had just passed by his stall and said. The stall owner on the side, while serving a bowl of carp noodles to the guests, replied to the words of the cake seller: "Business is good, but there are more disasters. ”
The cake seller wanted to say something, but then a group of diners came, so they stopped chatting and started their business seriously.
The knights who passed by before were four men and two women, and the oldest looked only about twenty-four or five years old. "Third sister, the layout of this restaurant is quite elegant, why don't we rest here and have something to eat?" The six of them walked to the front of Xingwu Building, and the young man who walked at the end asked.
"You yourself are tired and hungry, just say it, senior brother, the seventh brother proposes to rest here, what do you think?" The third sister replied lightly, and when the seventh brother saw the third sister say this, he looked at the senior brother who was in the first place. "Senior Sister Nangong, the seventh brother is honest, don't bully him all the time. Brother Master replied with a smile.
"How can I have, he is hungry himself, just say it, and let the senior brother and the second brother Qin not ask, just come and ask me what I mean? Do you think that I am the only person who is interested in eating here?" The senior brother knew that Senior Sister Nangong and the Seventh Brother were used to quarreling and joking, and they had a good relationship from childhood to adulthood, so of course they didn't care about it this time, and thought: "Why does the seventh brother ask you every time in advance, don't you really know the reason?" I don't know if the seventh brother is hungry or not, but I have some hunger in my belly, but this is also a good place, how about lunch here?
Senior Sister Lu said lightly: "Okay." The second brother Qin and the fifth brother Yi also nodded in agreement, and the six of them walked towards the restaurant.
"Six guest officers, please come inside, you can come here today, this building's special air-dried fish, elk taste, this can not be eaten outside. Today, we also have the famous 'I know everything' on the rivers and lakes, and I will tell you about the strange things in the martial arts. Guaranteed to be fantastic. ”
This Xingwu building is known as the first floor of Huzhou, up to the boss down to the chef Xiao Er are not general, the shop Xiao Er is also considered to have seen the world, these days in Huzhou City there are many people who come and go to the rivers and lakes, this shop Xiao Er feels that these four men and two women are also the children of a certain sect of the rivers and lakes, so they come up to tell the store's "I know everything." ”
Looked closely, but saw that the first person was extremely tall and very burly, and the other person was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, both of whom were carrying two big bags behind him, the son of the head was twenty-four or five years old, dressed in green clothes, with a hole flute inserted in his waist, and one of the two women was dressed in white and had a cold face, while the other woman was dressed in a red robe and a soft whip around his waist. These five people are like young masters and young ladies from a big family in the neighborhood traveling with two servants. But between the several people standing, it is not like the relationship between the master and the subordinate, the person on the side of the boy in Tsing Yi has a cold face, full of murderous aura, and he looks like a person in the rivers and lakes.
He works in this Xingwu Building, and has always guessed the identity of the guest is very accurate, so the reception and speech, and the behavior is very satisfactory to the guest, but this time it was a very strange headache by these six people, so he had to continue: "Come on, come on, please come in the six, oh, this uncle is really heroic, do you need a little help to take in your luggage?"
The woman in white looked at the noisy and shouting in the hall on the first floor, and was unhappy, and said coldly at this time: "Is there a quiet compartment, it is so noisy here, how can people eat and rest well." When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, please invite the six upstairs wings to dine." With that, he led the six of them upstairs.
The master brother saw that there was a rectangular bookcase vacant in front of the hall on the first floor, which should be the "I know everything", and the middle position was very lively, and the noise came from there. Outside the center, there are three tables of people sitting scattered, in the left hand corner are two people whose faces are not clear eating quietly; the back table is very rich, but there is only a rich boy drinking wine there, and there is a small butler standing next to him; the five people at the right table can see at a glance that they are people from the rivers and lakes, and there are five long swords of different lengths on their sides, but I don't know which sect or sect they are.
"Our signature feature is famous far and wide. Drunken clams made of wine, as bright as peach blossoms, drunken sturgeon, meat like white jade, shrimp floss, fine as long whisker grass, tofu, stewed like fresh milk, whether it is meat or dessert can be said to be a must on the shore of this Taihu Lake. Senior Brother looked to the side, Senior Sister Lu listened to the introduction of the shopkeeper, her face was quite satisfied, and the junior sister Nangong on the side also asked the shopkeeper from time to time about something. Xin said: "Senior sisters don't talk about it, it's really tiring to come and hurry, I think we haven't been together like this for several months, but I don't know what happened to Sixth Brother Ling, don't let anything happen." ”
He was thinking about it, but he was suddenly interrupted by a voice of inquiry, "Senior brother, what is that 'I know everything'?" the seventh brother asked. Before the senior brother could speak, the second brother Qin on the side interjected: "The seventh brother is too, I am afraid that I am stupid to practice the exercises in my usual practice, and even such a famous strange person does not know." ”
Senior Brother interrupted: "Second brother, don't learn from Senior Sister Nangong to bully honest people here, the seventh brother's cultivation in purple qi is afraid that he will surpass you." Saying that, he replied to the seventh brother: "This 'I know everything' is not a thing. This is a senior in the rivers and lakes, who calls himself I know, but not the ignorant but the five of them, saying that as long as the strange things on the rivers and lakes happen, there is nothing he doesn't know, so it is called I know everything. ”
"Huh? This is a bit arrogant, does that senior really have such ability?" The seventh brother didn't believe it, and the fifth brother Yi on the side said: "The things of the rivers and lakes are difficult to distinguish between true and false, I heard that this I know that it turned out to be a storyteller in the market, and I want to like to collect rumors about the rivers and lakes, paste oil and vinegar, and add oil and vinegar, plus my own mouth is like a river, and it is wonderful, so I have this title." ”
The senior brother said at this time: "Having said that, I know that he is also a person with real talent and learning, I heard that his own martial arts are not low, especially good at hitting acupoints, and his light body kung fu is very good." At this time, Senior Sister Nangong was listening and said, "Compared to Senior Brother, what is it?" Senior Brother thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "Although this Taiji Xuangong is extremely mysterious, I lost in my young skills and has not been deep, and since then, it is rare for the master to give advice, and many difficulties are still half-understood, and the subtleties of the moves are only afraid that it will be difficult to play one or two. ”
When the junior brothers and sisters on the side heard this, they couldn't help but be depressed, and the seventh brother even said: "Senior brother can't do it, let alone the rest of us." Senior Sister Nangong slammed the table at this time, and said with tears in her eyes: "I think how famous my faction was before, but now it is in our hands, but it is ......" said and choked up, it was difficult to continue.
