50. Downstairs please
The down-and-out scholar laughed and said forcefully: "Let me ask the girl, this person raises these, not to kill and eat, but for what?" Jie Qingzi said: "Raising is to report the dawn, raising dogs is to watch the house, feeding cattle is to plough the land, raising horses is to pull carts, who said that they are all killed and eaten." β
Abbot Tianhong listened to the interesting argument between the two, and couldn't help laughing: "A crooked talent, a Zhengxue learning, both have some truth in each other, this argument ends here, the old man still has to compete with the donor for tea and wine." β
The down-and-out scholar naturally admired Jie Qingzi's articulate nature, and when he saw the abbot of Tianhong coming out to play a round game, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and beckoned to Xiao Eryi: "Man, quickly move a big pot of sorghum wine, and a big pot of tea!"
Abbot Tianhong saw that the down-and-out scholar was happy, so he raised the question in his stomach, and asked tentatively: "Donor, the old man looks at your appearance, just like the person on that painting, if you modify it slightly, you can also make it fake and real, and now the picture scroll is lost, or donorβ"
The down-and-out scholar listened to the words of the abbot of Tianhong, and his heart trembled, and he quickly interrupted the old monk's words: "The meaning of the great monk is to let me disguise myself and pretend to be the person on the picture scroll to stop this martial arts catastrophe, yes or no?"
"Yes, that's what the old man meant. Abbot Tianhong stroked his beard and said, "No, no, if the masked man sees through it, my old bone can't withstand his punch, so let's dispel this idea as soon as possible." The down-and-out scholar shook his head again and again.
"Just pretend to be one or twice, and it doesn't matter, and he has great respect for the person in the painting, and if he doesn't dare to look at you carefully, he shouldn't be so easily recognized. Abbot Tianhong continued to persuade.
Jie Qingzi on the side snorted coldly: "I can't imagine that my predecessors have lived for decades, but my courage has become smaller and smaller, which is really embarrassing for you." "Senior sister don't say a few words. Jie Zhenzi hurriedly said to her junior sister.
"It's okay, it's okay, as the saying goes, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, if you want me to risk my life, I don't know what price the people in the martial arts will pay?" The down-and-out scholar said with a slight smile.
When the abbot of Tianhong saw that there was a door, he hurriedly asked: "I don't know what price the donor wants?" The down-and-out scholar suddenly said: "I am poorer than a certain life, and I want to come forward once to prevent him from killing him once, and it will cost 10,000 taels of silver, not to mention 10,000 taels of silver." β
The abbot of Tianhong listened to the mouth of the down-and-out scholar lion, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Money is something outside the body, but the donor's money is inevitably a little too much, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise, if the donor is in urgent need, it's another matter, but if it's just to save the poor, I don't know if it can be reduced?"
The down-and-out scholar shook his head and said: "Than a certain person who has no children and no daughters, and no old mother to support, he has no ambitions in his life, and the only good things are in this cup, and he is not urgently needed." Abbot Tianhong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing that the abbot of Tianhong was in trouble, Jie Qingzi smiled slightly and said: "The head abbot doesn't have to worry, he is more chivalrous than the old-timers, it's just a joke, saving people's lives, winning the seventh-level floating slaughter, how can he really ask so much silver to be willing to make a move." β
The down-and-out scholar laughed loudly, and said to Jie Qingzi: "Jie girl, don't bring a high hat to the old man, the old man suffers from poverty, I want to be old and young, the door is like a market, the high-ranking guests are full, and the money is like dirt, and he is not stingy." β
"The huge ancestral industry, eaten up by others, so that I have no way to make a living, making straw sandals on the gazebo to make a living, and the friends who used to eat and drink me in the past even pretend not to know me, so I don't want to turn over every day, and want to restore the past situation, in this great opportunity, it is not a pity not to make a sum of money. β
Miss Jie is very young, and she was born in a rich family, so she doesn't know what poverty is, so she doesn't believe what he said, a person in the martial arts, and she won't suffer for poverty, oh, and said: "The old-timers are really for the poor......
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone downstairs shouting: "Girl, there is a guest in the private seat downstairs, please girl." β
Jie Qingzi turned his face to look at the staircase, and saw that it was the shopkeeper who shouted, holding a wine jar in his left arm, holding a large teapot in his right hand, walking towards her with heavy steps, and said repeatedly: "There is a guest in the elegant seat below, please go down." β
The down-and-out scholar slammed his palm on the table, only to hear a "bang", which shook the table and bowls, and the soup and vegetables flowed, and at the same time shouted, "Let go of your shit, Miss Jie is not a wine girl, how can the guests call her down casually." β
The shopkeeper's wine jar and teapot have not been put down, and in surprise, they shuddered, and the wine jar and teapot "Peng!" fell on the floor, the altar was broken and the pot was broken, and the building was full of wine.
He was afraid that the wine would leak downstairs, so he hurriedly rolled to the ground, sucked the wine on his body, stood up wet, and said with a smile: "Old man, please forgive the little mouth for saying that it was too late, there is a guest below who asks this girl to talk." β
The down-and-out scholar is deliberately using the topic to play, sarcastic and sarcastic, he is really angry with the shopkeeper, seeing the shopkeeper's accompaniment, although he is not angry in his heart, he is still angry on the surface and says: "Look at your appearance, you have been eating this line of food for at least a few years, and you can't even speak, you should be spanked." β
Jie Qingzi knew very well in his heart, knowing that he had embarrassed him when he argued before, and took revenge on him, but the down-and-out scholar looked like he was angry with himself, so he had to hold his anger in his stomach and looked at the down-and-out scholar and snorted coldly.
Jie Zhenzi saw that the shopkeeper was drenched, like a chicken in soup, standing aside and being scolded by a down-and-out scholar, she was so upset that she didn't want to go, and asked very kindly: "Man, what kind of guest is it, please ask my junior sister to go downstairs to talk, say it and listen, and see if it is an acquaintance." β
The shopkeeper was still palpitating, and when he heard his question, he said very cautiously: "Childe, that guest is covered with a black cloth, and he can't see any skin on his body, and he can't tell what he looks like." Please think about it, whether it is an acquaintance. β
The abbot of Tianhong and the others, listening to the shopkeeper's words, except for the down-and-out scholars, couldn't help but be shocked, and a cold air rose from the soles of their feet, straight through the brain, and the girl suddenly stood up and said to the shopkeeper: "Man, go! Quickly lead me to meet the guest." β
Seeing that her junior sister was going to take the risk of going to the meeting alone, Jie Zhenzi couldn't help but be very anxious, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed her sleeve, and said, "Senior sister, you can't go!"
Jie Sadako has always known her sister's stubborn personality, but she can't let her take risks at this time. Hurriedly persuaded: "The masked man claimed to kill martial arts figures, his martial arts are profound, and his methods are cruel, it must not be kind to ask you to speak alone." β
Miss Jie threw her sleeves and replied: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, I have no grievances with him, why should you kill me, even if he really wants to kill me, I am not afraid of him." β
The abbot of Tianhong also persuaded from the side: "Female benefactor, what Senior Brother Ling said is good, it's better not to go, the masked man's martial arts, the old man has been taught, and he is indeed a first-class master in today's martial arts." β
The down-and-out scholar drank a lot of wine, laughed and said: "The old monk only knows one and doesn't know the other, saying that the martial arts girl may not be as far as the old monk, but the girl is as beautiful as a fairy, haha, but it is invincible." β
Miss Jie glared at the down-and-out scholar with beautiful eyes, "bah", did not listen to the advice of her senior brother and abbot Tianhong, and ran downstairs.
When I chased down the stairs, I didn't see my sister, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a masked man rushing in from the gate, Jie Zhenzi took a step back in shock, and the masked figure was surprisingly fast, and he floated in front of Jie Zhenzi, let out a soft shout, and said, "Stop." β
Jie Zhenzi was close to the masked man at this time, especially in the daylight, and saw the appearance and figure of the masked man very clearly, as if he was the one who went to the Shaolin Temple for the first time, only to see that the other party was petite, although the head was covered with a black cloth, and the real face could not be seen, but in the three holes of the masked black cloth, there were snow-white teeth and a pair of clear eyes, which could no longer hide the woman's unique posture.
Jie Zhenzi's eyes were lowered, and the toes of the other party's black cloth boots were prominently visible, he exhaled a breath of cold air, and said secretly: Could this be the sister who has been missing for many years?
The masked man suddenly stretched out his hand, clasped the vein door of Jie Zhenzi's right wrist, the force was great, a pair of clear eyes, staring at him fiercely, Jie Zhenzi's face suddenly changed color, his heart jumped, he snorted for a while, and reluctantly spit out: "Youβ" The masked man suddenly turned his head and called to the store: "Quickly find a seat for us." β
The shopkeeper greeted him, and when he saw that he was a masked man, he didn't know when he walked in, so he felt strange in his heart, so he settled down, bowed down, and said, "Two guest officers, please come with me." β
Jie Zhenzi couldn't help herself when she was held by the vein, and followed the shopkeeper side by side with the masked man into the backyard, a private seat on the left, the masked man looked around, nodded, and said, "Man, it's still early, let's talk first, you go to do yours, and when we want wine and food, we will greet you." β
The shopkeeper had worked in this shop for several years, and he knew very well the psychology of the guests, and when he heard the masked man say this, he knew that they might want to discuss something with this private seat, so he withdrew and lowered the door curtain.
When Abbot Tianhong ran downstairs from Jie Zhenzi, he also followed the fluttering huge body, reached the staircase, looked down, and saw Jie Zhenzi's right hand vein, which was held by a slender masked man, and couldn't help but be surprised, and was about to go down the stairs to rescue, but his footsteps had not yet been raised, and he suddenly felt that his shoulder was held down by a powerful palm.
At the same time, I heard the down-and-out scholar chuckle and said, "Great monk, don't worry about them, don't forget that we still have a gambling game!"
Abbot Tianhong frowned, turned his face, and said anxiously: "The matter of the gambling competition can be accompanied at any time, and now Jie Zhenzi is restrained by the masked man, which is extremely dangerous, and the donor can't see death without saving it?"
The down-and-out scholar smiled, pulled the old monk back to the table and sat down, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said slowly: "Old monk, you can rest assured to sit down and drink tea. β
