E, looking at the bright lights of the Xianglou from afar, a sign of peace, slightly different from the daytime, in front of the door of the building stood a few open-chested big men, all with a straight face, round eyes, staring at the door.

In front of Xunxianglou, some young men came early, there were more than ten people, these men were about the same age, about twenty or so, most of them were dressed up as children of rich families, three or three, or in a circle, talking, or wandering back and forth alone, anxiously waiting. If you look closely, you will find that these people have a common feature, that is, each of them is holding a wooden token of the Falling Cloud Pavilion in their hands, and it seems that they are all waiting for the time to enter the Falling Cloud Pavilion to pick up the smiling girl.

And not far from the street, there were two people standing next to a sugar man stall, a man and a woman, both of whom were not very old, it was Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu, I saw Chu Qing absentmindedly rubbing the sugar man of the vendor, but his eyes were staring intently at the people at the door of Xunxiang Building.

"I said this little boy, I'm just passing by here, what do you mean by stopping me, stop me and I'll stop me, do you buy this sugar man or not, you see, you touched my sugar man. ”

Hearing the hawker say this, Chu Qingfang came back to his senses, and turned his head to see that the Monkey King Candy Man inserted on the hawker's shoulder box was originally vivid, but at this moment, his facial features were not correct and his body was crooked. Chu Qing suddenly felt embarrassed, stuck out her tongue, and said apologetically: "Little brother, I bought this sugar man." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jiu on the side took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and paid them to the vendor.

The peddler took the copper coin, picked up the Monkey King candy man and handed it to Chu Qing, threw the towel on his shoulder, bent over and was about to take the burden box to go, but he was held down by Chu Qing, what surprised the hawker even more was that the little boy in front of him looked slender and weak, and even more girlish, but he didn't want to have such divine power.

"Little brother, I see that it's so late, you can't sell the candy man even if you go elsewhere, why don't you wait here for a while, how about I buy a few more after I eat the sugar man?"

Hearing Chu Qing say this, the peddler rubbed the sore spot that had just been pinched by Chu Qing, and looked up and down at the pair of sons in front of him, but he didn't look like a bad person, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the vendor agreed, Chu Qing smiled slightly to show his gratitude, and casually picked up another Zhu Bajie candy man and rubbed it, but his eyes turned to the side of Xunxianglou.

Seeing Chu Qing behaving like this, the hawker already knew in his heart that these two people were monitoring the Xunxianglou opposite, and he was just blocking and demolishing it, thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the other side, but he was looking at the few big men standing in front of the Xunxianglou, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly turned around, pretending to pack the suitcase.

Presumably, the big men in front of Xunxiang Building saw that there was an inconspicuous candy seller on the opposite side, and there were two young men beside them, so they ignored it, and their eyes had already looked elsewhere.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the other side of the street, everyone turned their heads one after another, and looked at the past, only to see several men in cardigans, with hideous faces, fierce and vicious, what makes people feel strange is that on the foreheads of these men, there are things like ingots, like horns, and they look funny, and what is more special is that the black man headed in the middle has two "horns" on his forehead, and a mess of hair on his chest is like a hedgehog, and a pair of triangular eyes are full of flesh and face, and the momentum is compelling.

The men in short shirts walked straight to the crowd in front of Xunxianglou, and everyone saw that the situation was not good, and they dodged one after another, but after all, there was a young man who couldn't dodge, and was grabbed by the black man who was the leader of the chest, and lifted it hard, and his feet suddenly left the ground.

"Don't be at home to be filial to your parents, come here to look for flowers and ask willows, and hand over your wooden token of the Falling Cloud Pavilion, otherwise I will eat my uncle's full fist." After saying that, the big black man raised his sandbag-sized fist viciously and shook it in front of the young man.

The young man was already so frightened that his strands were like sifting chaff, so he had to tremble and take out the wooden token pinned to his waist, shake his hands and serve it carefully, and said in a trembling voice: "Big, big, uncle, you let go of Xiaosheng, let Xiaosheng come down, I will go back to filial piety to my parents, and I will never dare again, dare not come to Xunxianglou." ”

After the big black man snatched the wooden token, he threw it back to his accomplice, and then let go of his hand, put the young man on the ground, and shouted: "Get out, let me see you again, and break your legs." ”

As soon as the young man's feet hit the ground, his heart was steady for a moment, but he suddenly heard a loud roar from the black man, like a thunderclap in his ears, and he was frightened and wet his pants, and he crawled and fled along the street in a panic.

Seeing that he was cowardly and embarrassed, the men in the short shirt laughed incessantly, and then concocted the same method, collected the wooden tokens of five or six people, and smashed them in the street.

Chu Qing had already recognized that these people were opening a jewelry store on Front Street, and they used broken bracelets to blackmail people for money, and after being cast by Feng Shuzhu, they were dedicated to goodness and changed to a "soup kitchen", but they couldn't see what they were doing for the time being, so they continued to observe secretly.

At this time, the few big men who were standing in front of the Xunxiang Building, were initially dazzled by the behavior of these short-shirted men, and at this moment they woke up like a dream, and the other party came to smash the field, and one of them led the crowd to shout "Stop!" and led everyone, all rolled up their arms and sleeves, hugged forward, and confronted the short-shirted men.

The man headed by the big man stepped forward and arched his hand, squinted his eyes and said: "I don't know what kind of food the brothers eat, but they have had a holiday with me in Xianglou, and they came to make trouble this time." As he spoke, he raised his thumb and pointed to the plaque of Xunxianglou behind him.

The big black man in the short-shirted man glared angrily, stepped forward, patted his chest and said: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, Boss Zhang of the 'soup kitchen' on the front street! ”

As soon as the big man heard that the other party had reported to his home, it was actually the one who opened the porridge shop on the front street, and his eyes were full of fierceness, and he said loudly: "You are a shabby, a person who has opened a shop, and you dare to run to my Xianglou to blow a whirlwind, brothers, give me a beat!"

It doesn't matter if the two sides fight, but they frightened the young men who were waiting for the toss, some people threw the wooden tokens and slipped away, and some of the bold ones just hid far away, secretly observing, as if watching the results of the fight between the two sides, and then make a decision.

Originally, the two parties were on par, and they were both bare-handed, Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu, who were on the side, glanced at each other, and knew in their hearts that things would not make a big fuss, so they hugged their arms and continued to watch with a lively attitude.

Unexpectedly, there was another commotion in the Xunxiang Building, the door of the building was wide open, and more than a dozen big men came out, but this time everyone was holding sticks. couldn't help but say, ran forward, cooperated with the previous big men, surrounded the short-shirted man in the middle, and beat him with a rain of sticks.

The men in short shirts couldn't stand it, so they had to squat down, hugging their heads and begging for mercy, before the big men stopped in a stupid way.

Xiao Jiu and Chu Qing, who were standing on the street, saw this and finally understood that those men in short shirts were hot-headed and chivalrous, but Xunxianglou had already prepared and raised many thugs. At this time, seeing that the men in short shirts had frustrated their downfall, Xiao Jiu's heart suddenly became angry, his fists were clenched, and he wanted to step forward, but he was pulled by Chu Qing behind him, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu, no, that smile has confused so many men, and raised so many thugs, I don't think things are so simple, there must be weirdness in it, it's better to observe it for a while." Xiao Jiu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The big men cursed for a while, and when they saw that the men in short shirts had given up resistance, they picked up their sticks, turned around and went back to the Xiangxiang Building, still leaving the previous few people to continue to monitor the situation outside the building.

Looking at the men in short shirts, they were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and their teeth fell out, they helped each other to stand up, and suddenly one of them shouted happily: "Big brother, look, there is one less ingots on your forehead." ”

When the black man heard this, he raised his hand and touched it carefully, and said happily: "Yes, haha, the ingots on my forehead have disappeared, oops, it seems that we have done a great deed this time, and the gods have appeared." ”

After the rest of the people looked at each other, they also noticed that the "horns" on their foreheads were much smaller, and they immediately forgot the pain and cried out happily.

The few big men standing in front of the Xunxiang Building were dumbfounded, thinking that these men in short shirts had broken their brains, stupid, and after being beaten violently, they were so happy, after looking at each other, they also smiled back and forth, and the front of the Xunxiang Building was actually full of happy air.

Seeing this, the men in short shirts seemed to remember the experience of being beaten just now, squatted down and gathered together, and asked the head of the black man what to do, the head of the black man thought about it, touched the injured part of his face, and said: "Go back and wipe the medicine and wine, and come to them tomorrow to settle accounts." ”

The other men also bared their teeth, obviously beaten hard, so they echoed and shouted all the way, as if they had won the battle and returned victoriously, and left with a bang.

Chu Qing looked at the backs of everyone in the distance, and said to Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, the time is approaching, I think, let's find out the situation around Xianglou as soon as possible, and then make a decision." ”

Xiao Jiu turned his head to look at the Xunxianglou that had recovered as before, and nodded vigorously.

Chu Qing just wanted to say that he wanted to pay the hawker candy man, but when he turned around, he found that the hawker and the burden box had long since disappeared, and it was estimated that he had fled to avoid chaos when everyone was fighting.

Chu Qing raised his hand, licked the pig Bajie candy man who was pinched by himself, looked at the dark mountain peak behind Xun Xianglou, and said in a low voice: "Let's start with that mountain first." ”
