Chapter Twenty-Five: The Joy of June
In late June, the great heat is the season of cicadas.
The whole summer seems to be occupied by those cicadas, and from time to time there are bursts of chirping on the high branches and low leaves.
In the farmland next to the official road, the farmer finished the farm work early and went home to cool off. The weather is really hot.
In Qingshui County, in a liquor store, a guy lay on the desk and fell asleep. A cicada chirped him awakened, and he opened his eyes and looked at the person standing on the desk in a daze.
"This little brother, get me a pot of wine. ”
The visitor was holding a small bamboo in one hand and a small grass-woven cage in the other, in which there were two cicadas, and it was one of them that had chirped just now.
This man is so strange, his hair is gray and he is still playing with cicadas? The guy in the liquor store came to his senses.
"This guest officer, I'm sorry, the wine in our store is sold out today, you have to be earlier, maybe there will be more. ”
The guy yawned and replied, the weather was groggy.
It's just before noon, and it's sold out? I finally remembered to make a pot of wine, so unfortunate?
The person who came was Bai Zimo, who came out of Zhou Tianfu's mansion city, and he walked along the official road all the way, and happened to see the cicadas on the trees. For a while, the childlike heart was raised, and after working for a long time, I caught two and weaved a crooked small cage with grass.
Holding it all the way, he patted it twice with his hand from time to time, teasing the flapping wings of the two cicadas.
On this day, passing through Qingshui County, I saw an old man carrying food on the road, and after walking a few steps, he grabbed the wine jug on his waist and took a sip.
When he saw this scene, he was envious, and he only felt very chic, and he was excited by the aroma of the wine, and it also reminded him of the wine worms on his body, and he remembered that he had been talking about the idea of finding a chance to make a pot of wine.
So he held the small cage containing the cicadas and hurriedly ran into Qingshui County. After searching for a long time, I found this wine shop.
"Then I wonder where else there is wine sold in the county?"
asked the restaurant where there was wine for sale, and Bai Zimo dared to ask this matter as a matter of course.
"There should be no wine to sell in the county today, and the county Zheng Zhuang's family has just given birth to a boy, and he has held a banquet and bought all the wine in the county. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
It seems that this is really a coincidence. Bai Zimo got out of the liquor store and walked around the street again, and sure enough, it was just as the guy in the store said. Not only is there no alcohol, but even restaurants and other shops are not in business, and the streets are deserted.
Bai Zimo inquired and found out that the owner of Zheng Zhuang was really a big deal, and he actually invited almost all the people in the entire county town, so today's food and the like in the county town were simply closed and did not do business.
Bai Zimo sighed and thought about it again.
If someone else can go, why can't I?
Holding a bamboo in one hand and holding a cage in the other, the corners of Bai Daxian's mouth salivated, and it seems that he can eat a big meal today......
I asked the direction all the way, but it was very easy to find, and the pedestrians I could see from time to time were all rushing to the Zheng Mansion.
When I arrived at the door of the mansion, I saw a tall and thin middle-aged man, dressed in indigo Lingluo silk, greeting guests at the door with a smile.
"The white shopkeeper of Yongan Township came to congratulate ......"
Bai Zimo smiled and stepped forward to say hello, regardless of whether people recognized him or not.
The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw this, this person is not a citizen of Qingshui County, nor does he look like a Jianghu person he knows? Seeing that he is dressed is also strange, this is holding a bamboo and holding a small cage, as if the small cage is still filled with two cicadas?
But today is the day of great joy in his house, he only got a child in middle age, at this time he was happy in his heart, and the people who came were all guests, and it was not easy to refuse, so after being weird, he also smiled and let Bai Zimo in.
After Bai Zimo entered the Zheng Mansion, he found that it was really full of people and lively, and at this time, some seats were already full of people, so he found a place in the villagers' seat at random and sat down. Sitting next to him were mostly some people in the county.
He saw a table full of delicacies, and his appetite was aroused.
While eating, he listened to the conversation of everyone at the table, and realized that it was the owner of Zheng Zhuang who was standing at the door to greet him just now, named Zheng Xiaobox, and Bai Zimo almost didn't laugh when he learned about it.
Zheng Zhuang is said to be a martial arts person, and his kung fu on the rivers and lakes is also terrifying. Fuzhong is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, attracting many people in the rivers and lakes, and gradually became famous, although there is a small word in the name, but others have to respect a "Zheng Da Zhuang Owner".
Bai Zimo listened to it interestingly, and others passed on the master of Zheng Zhuang to his amazing skills. said that he was alone, and he had captured fierce insects in the barren forest and repelled bandits in the wilderness......
Mortal martial artists, I've always heard of it, but Bai Zimo really hasn't seen it. Among the people he has encountered, those few strongmen are at most a move and a half, and they mainly rely on their ruthlessness to scare people.
The Blood Demon Lord who is called a very good man is half at most, after all, he has taken the wrong path, and he is all thanks to that evil skill.
No wonder when I saw the middle-aged man just now, I felt that his blood was vigorous, and I thought it was the reason why he practiced internal strength.
Just as he could hear this, a man in a strong suit with a long sword on his back arrived at an open space in front of the banquet and hugged his fists towards the guests.
"Today, everyone appreciates the face, and the owner of Zheng Zhuang specially let everyone perform to cheer up, and offer ugliness. ”
It turned out to be a sword dance, and sure enough, there are people in the rivers and lakes, and this way of cheering is not the same.
After speaking, the man in the suit drew the long sword behind his back and danced in the clearing.
The sword is fierce, sometimes light, sometimes dignified, the sword flowers on the tip of the sword flash, where the strength goes, many leaves fall off with the momentum, floating in the air, and they are dragged by his sword momentum and do not fall to the ground......
When everyone saw it, they clapped their hands from time to time, and they didn't even care about eating the food and drinks. It was Bai Zimo who looked at it, and he also looked up to the mortal warriors.
It turns out that the so-called internal force is used in this way. Others can't see it, but he Bai Zimo can see it clearly. In the practice of monks, the emphasis is on attracting the spiritual power of heaven and earth to be used in their own bodies. Martial artists practice martial arts, but they stimulate their own potential, do not take external objects, and practice internal strength within themselves.
Relatively speaking, because of their own limitations, the warrior's grasp of strength is more sophisticated, unlike monks, most of them are casual and oppress people with power. Only those who are extremely high in Taoism can control every slight!
Sure enough, martial arts have been passed down for a long time, and it is really not in vain. With that man's hand, even if he let Bai Zimo come, he may not be able to play it.
Of course, he is confident that such a martial artist is still no threat to himself, no matter how good your moves are, I will beat you and cry with a trick.
However, watching the man in the strong suit dance the sword made him have more understanding of his grasp of strength. It turns out that it can still be used like this......
Retracting his gaze, he is still more attracted by the table full of delicacies.
Not long after, the owner Zheng Zhuang also arrived at the master's seat. Bai Zimo glanced at it and knew that the seats were full of martial arts masters, all of them were full of spirit and blood. Thinking about it, it should be said in the mouths of everyone, the people in the rivers and lakes recruited by Zheng Zhuangzi.
After three rounds of drinking, a subordinate came to the Zheng Zhuang owner and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see the Zheng Zhuang owner frowning, and hurriedly said a word to the guests on the host's table and got up and left in a hurry.
Bai Zimo has always put a trace of his mind on Master Zheng Zhuang, and every move over there at this time naturally can't escape his eyes.
Seeing this, he smiled, secretly said "interesting", retracted his mind, and continued to eat slowly and methodically.
After eating a banquet, the guests at the banquet had already changed several batches, and Bai Zimo's table, he relied on it until the end, and ate four or five seats in a row. He was still eating there until the other guests were gone.
The subordinates of the Zheng Mansion came a few times during the period, and wanted to collect the wine table, but when they arrived, they saw that there were still guests eating, so they had to smirk, and it was not easy to propose to drive away the guests, so they walked to the distance and waited.
"Has that white-haired guest been hungry for a few days?
It was the first time that the descendants of the Zheng Mansion had encountered such a guest, and they really regarded this as their own home.
This is to wait until the evening, Zheng Mansion has already turned on the lamp, and Bai Zimo saw that the time was almost up, so he rubbed his belly and stood up. It's a pity that the pig of the third master of Toad is still asleep, otherwise it can be allowed to come out and eat some.
"Hello, who's that, please come here. ”
Bai Zimo beckoned a subordinate who was waiting there with his hand.
Huh? You think this is a restaurant?
The people of the Zheng Mansion were unhappy when they heard this, and a guest who sat on the villagers' table was only a citizen of the county, so the faces of the people of the Zheng Mansion were quite bad.
You can't rush away customers, but you still dare to put on your face.
"Yo, are you full, do you want to eat a little longer, I'm not in a hurry. ”
"I'm full, I'm full, I'm holding on. ”
Bai Zimo didn't know if he didn't understand or pretended.
"By the way, Master Zheng Zhuang is still at home, please take me to meet him, I have eaten other people's food and drinks, no matter how I say it, I have to say thank you in person. ”
I really think I'm a character! When I heard this, I was angry and funny, why didn't this person know it so much?
"The owner of the village has a lot of things to do, how can he take care of you, you can just leave after eating, no need to thank you. ”
"What you want......
"I really don't need to, I don't need to ......"
The two insisted......
......
In the middle hall of Zheng's mansion, Zheng Xiaobox was sitting on the main seat at this time, and there were two people sitting below, both of whom were full of meat, but they were wearing Taoist clothes, which looked out of place.
At this time, Zheng Xiaobox had long lost the joy of the day, and instead had a worried face, his brows were tightly locked, thinking about something.
"Master Zhengzhuang, our hall master also looks up to you, so he deliberately let the two of us come here three times and twice, what are you still thinking about?"
One of the people at the bottom opened his mouth, his eyes staring at Zheng Xiaobox.
I don't understand why the hall master wants to recruit a martial arts person, and let himself have two dignified immortal masters come over in person.
"Yes, Master Zheng Zhuang is an understanding person, and I hope it will not be difficult for my brothers. ”
The other person followed suit.
