Chapter 10: Self-drinking and self-injury

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped in front and said, "I'm really sorry for the three of you, now the seats are full!" The pock-faced man looked inside, and the hall was full of people, so he said, "Or let's go somewhere else!" The young man said: "It's hard to come out, the little junior sister wants to drink the wine here, can you drink it when you go to another house?" The senior brother was sarcastically robbed by him for a few words, and his face was blue and white for a while, but it seemed that the pockmarked face was more prominent. The girl was upset when she heard their noise, and turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, we have been so tired all the way that our horses can't walk anymore, can you make it convenient for us to go up and see if there are any vacant seats?"

The shopkeeper was about to refuse, but he saw that the girl's big eyes were just looking at him sadly, and she couldn't say how cute she was, so she said, "In this case, you come up with me!" When the girl heard this, she immediately smiled, and she was really smiling like a flower, as if it was several times sunny.

The three of them went into the store, searched everywhere, and walked to the third floor, but they were the same as the second child in the store, and there were no empty tables. The girl glanced at each seat again, and saw a large table set up by the window, with only a few small dishes, a pot of wine, and a small wine glass, and she was very curious.

The girl said happily: "Yes, can you let this old man be accommodating and allow us to share a table?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his hand and said no: "By all means, this guest officer has taken out the money to buy this entire private seat, and there is no reason to share the table!

The young man known as the "second senior brother" said angrily: "We also have the same money, what are you doing?" There were only a few people outside who had been making noise for a long time, but the old man didn't seem to hear it, and the three of them broke into the seat, and without raising his eyes, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly. Everyone saw that the old man's posture of holding the cup was very strange, and they couldn't help but look at the old man's hand carefully, and they were all surprised that the old man's thumb had been cut off!

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. That old man is Lin Longqing, Lin Jianlan was snatched away by Lin Hongfeng, it is his duty to find Lin Jianlan to take care of his safety, and he has always been relieved in his heart about Lin Jianlan's life experience and the identity of the mysterious man in white, and the result is still re-involved in the rivers and lakes.

That day, he heard Wang Po talk about what happened to Lin Jianlan's family of three, and he wanted to set off immediately, but Wang Po said that if he wanted to hurry up, he would not be able to reach it, and it must be very dangerous to go, so he persuaded him to meditate at home first to heal the wound on his chest before leaving. He carefully looked for clues in the cabinets of books left by Lin Xiaoyu, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, there were annotations in the blanks of each book, which was quite insightful, especially on various military books, densely filled with annotations, and some self-created formations, Lin Longqing only sighed that he had no chance to know this person, otherwise it would be a great pleasure in life to be a teacher and a friend.

Lin Longqing carefully searched for more than half a year in the book, not only did he not gain anything, but he had a few more doubts in his heart, first, he did not see the letter inviting Lin Xiaoyu to Beijing, of course, it may be that Lin Xiaoyu took it away when he was leaving; second, Lin Xiaoyu cherished his collection of books very much, numbered them one by one according to the categories, and placed them in order in the cabinet, but after he checked, there were more than a dozen books missing from Wu Shiqi No. 3, and it was not until Lu Shiqi that he continued to have a book number, and some of the other books in Class E were some introductions to barbarian people, and some of the words on them were like earthworms or tadpoles, which could not be understood at all。 Wang Po also said that Lin Xiaoyu left home lightly and did not bring any books, so why these books were missing became another question in Lin Longqing's heart. Before leaving, Lin Longqing silently walked under the tree, took out the buried things three years ago, took out a thousand taels of silver ticket to the nearest big town to exchange for scattered silver taels, and handed it over to Wang Po for living, and left the small courtyard without looking back, afraid that he would cry when he looked back at Wang Po's lonely figure, and just said silently in his heart: "Auntie, you are so self-cherished, Lin Longqing will definitely live up to your trust." ”

Although Lin Longqing has been living in the rivers and lakes for more than three years, his body and mind are indifferent, and his martial arts have entered the country slightly, but the thumbs of both hands were cut off by Lin Hongfeng, and his most proud Tiangang Qianyuan Sword may no longer be able to use it handy, if he performs light skills all the way, it is not difficult to run down, but when he left, he took all the medical books collected by Lin Xiaoyu with him, so he bought a carriage, put the books in it, and often studied it at night. All the way along the official road in Hebei, and when I went to the south of the Yangtze River, it was already another year of spring grass green. Lin Longqing saw that it was a good time for spring, so he couldn't help but slow down his itinerary and look at the flowers and enjoy the scenery, but he had a feeling of "things are not people". When I went to Mo, the flowers were like brocade, and today the willows at the head of the building are green, thinking of the time when I was a child and Lin Hongfeng played all day without suspicion, the time when I was a teenager and the first time I led the Kuangyi Gang, and then I remembered the tragic situation of being chased and killed by my sister and cutting off my fingers, and I couldn't help but feel sad.

When he arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou, he was not in a hurry to go to the headquarters of the Kuangyi Gang in Hangzhou, but rented a courtyard, dressed as an old man, and first investigated the movements of the Kuangyi Gang in some surrounding areas. On this day, I went to Qiyunlou to drink and relax, sat alone by the window, thought about these past events, and thought of Cao Shujian being poisoned and died, the residual letter taken out of his dying arms, and the mysterious guest who rescued and reminded him along the road, the origin of the man in white is unknown, the letters and books are lost, and the strange internal force in Lin Jianlan's meridians is incomprehensible. The three brothers and sisters of Shicai were noisy for a while, Lin Longqing came back to his senses, and after a little look, he knew that these three people were also children of famous factions, who had just set foot in the rivers and lakes, and had a flamboyant heart and did not know how to converge. If it was three years ago, Lin Longqing would definitely have taught them some lessons, but firstly, in the past few years, Lin Longqing has been cultivating his heart and mind, and he doesn't care much about these things, and secondly, he doesn't want the old people to know him, so he doesn't want to get into trouble at this time. He secretly said in his heart: "Lin Longqing, Lin Longqing, when you first broke into the rivers and lakes when you were young, why didn't you have high spirits and no one paid attention to you?"

The white-faced young man saw that the old man was not afraid, and he didn't speak, but he was angry in his heart, and felt that the old man's smile seemed to carry a ridicule, which was very hateful, so he didn't ask, "hum", took the chair opposite Lin Longqing and put it on the ground, and then sat down. The girl hurriedly said: "Second Senior Brother, this old man has not agreed to share the table! You are like this..." Before she finished speaking, she only heard a sound of "Kerala", and before she could react, the four legs of the chair had been broken, but the second senior brother had already sat on the ground, extremely embarrassed. Lin Longqing still didn't speak, only gently twisted a peanut with his two fingers, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed.

The girl felt that this old man seemed to be an ordinary person, so she smiled and said to Lin Longqing: "Uncle, he just sits down for a while, why are you angry? That is, angry, why bother to take a chair to vent your anger? Lin Longqing glanced at the girl, but saw that the girl's eyes were pitiful looking at herself, but they were a little like Lin Jianlan's eyes, and she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, and looked at the girl intently, and said with a condensation: "Put away your soul transfer technique, you haven't practiced yet!

The girl was pointed out by Lin Longqing, her face turned red, she accepted the merit, and said secretly in her heart: "How does this old man know my origin? Seeing that his actions do not seem to be unfavorable to me, it is just that the second senior brother has offended him rudely, and he will teach him a lesson." After thinking about it, he bowed to Lin Longqing and said: "The younger generation's surname is Lu Mingman, and my mother's name is Li Meijiang, this is my master brother Ma Wang, and this is my second senior brother Bai Zongping." The younger generations don't know that their predecessors are the deceased of their mothers, so they are offended in their words and behaviors, and the seniors must not mind. ”

Lin Longqing said leisurely: "You think in your heart, my second senior brother behaves rudely, and he will forcibly join the table without the consent of others, so this old man taught him a lesson, yes or no? Hmph, your second senior brother saw that I ignored him, and only felt that I looked down on him, and he was angry in his heart, and threw this Taiyin needle at me from under the table by sitting on a chair, if I were an ordinary old man with a stubborn temper, wouldn't I die today in vain? Your Li family is such a disciple?" After that, he took out his left hand placed under the table and stretched it out, and there were a few shimmering Taiyin needles.

Lu Man said ashamedly and angrily: "The younger generation will definitely tell his mother when he goes back, and punish the second senior brother heavily." bothered the seniors' drinking, and today's wine money will be paid by the juniors," and said with a coquettish smile: "The chair you broke is also counted on the heads of the juniors!"

Lin Longqing sighed: "Hey, Li Meijiang is lucky, I have such a well-behaved and delicate daughter as you, why worry about the South China Sea in the future? When I first entered the rivers and lakes, the sisters of Li Meijiang and Li Meihai in the South China Sea were infinitely beautiful, how many martial arts children surrounded them like wild bees and butterflies, hoping to get the favor of my sister or sister, I was also one of them, if the two of them looked back and smiled, they were so happy that they couldn't sleep all night, I don't want to see Li Meijiang's daughters so big today, alas, the past is gone, and the deceased is difficult to chase!"

Lu Man blushed, and Qin Wang helped Bai Zongping up, and was about to leave, but he heard a gloomy voice outside the elegant seat and said: "People are lucky to have a good girl, let you spare it, but you don't have such good luck, but no one spares you!"

This voice carried a chill from the bones, and people couldn't help but feel cold from their hearts, Lin Longqing was not surprised when he heard this voice, he still sat down peacefully, and said with a smile: "Virtuous niece, you and the two senior brothers sit down, I also want to ask about your mother's current situation!"

Lu Man secretly wondered in his heart: "Looking at this elder who looks and tones like my mother, why did he call me 'virtuous niece' incoherently?" I saw that the wooden door of the elegant hall had broken into pieces, but it was a thin old man standing with a crutch and another slightly chubby old man. When the two saw Lin Longqing, they said angrily: "Okay, your incident happened!"

Lu Man and the three of them looked back at Lin Longqing together, but saw Lin Longqing sitting leisurely, and said, "The two of them are very good, but they don't know ......."

The lean old man said: "Don't pretend to be confused with me! You robbed Xinjiazhuang of 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver in Xuzhou, and my brother will not be a man if he does not repay the shame of that night!"

Lin Longqing said: "Slowly, I didn't do this case, but I did, in the fish and meat township of Xinjiazhuang for more than ten years, anyone can borrow a few money to spend, why do the two of them think that they are old." Speaking of which, the two dogs of the Youxin family always follow the old man with nothing to do, and now, these two dogs don't know what kind of momentum they have, and they actually climbed to Yangzhou with the old man!"

These two old men are the two disciples raised by Xinjiazhuang in Xuzhou, the owner of Xinjiazhuang turned out to be a state official, and he made a fortune in office, and it is said that he got into a relationship with the nobles of the Wu family, and returned to his hometown to continue to be powerful, but no one dared to care. Even so, he was afraid of retaliation, so he invited these two people to be guests in the village, saying that they were guests, but in fact they were nursing homes. That day, Lin Longqing went to Xinjiazhuang, and saw that the people around Xinjiazhuang were complaining bitterly, if in the past, he must not be too lazy to care about these idle things, but since he spent more than three years with the Wang Po's family in Liaodong, he felt that the peasants were not easy, and he sneaked into Xinjiazhuang that night to rob a vote, but he did not move, and all those people were divided.

They are also famous in the rivers and lakes, the thin old man in the rivers and lakes is called "Rapid Cane Wind" Ding Lei, holding a carved head stick, according to the motive bracket carving head can spit out the hidden weapon; the slightly chubby old man is his younger brother "slow injury" Ding Shui, holding a weapon like a scale rod in his hand, one of which is hung with a scale, such a strange weapon in the rivers and lakes is not many, Ding Shui is extremely slow, in fact, the heart is the most vicious.

These two never fight alone, Ding Lei's staff is superb, Ding Shui is insidious and vicious, many martial arts people have suffered a secret loss in their hands, and suddenly disappeared a few years ago, it turned out that the two of them wanted to practice a set of martial arts together, and they happened to meet this Xinjiazhuang to recruit martial artists, so they hid in Xinjiazhuang and practiced hard. Lin Longqing robbed the village at night and fought a big battle with these two people, although the two thumbs were cut off by Lin Hongfeng, the kung fu was still there, and he was angry that the Ding family brothers helped him to abuse him, and he taught the two of them a lesson. The brothers of the Ding family are also famous figures in martial arts, how can they endure this shameful humiliation, and the pursuit of silver is secondary, so they have been following Lin Longqing to Yangzhou.
