The man inside heard someone knock on the door twice, "Who!"

Wang Shi didn't answer, the man asked a few times, and when he saw that no one spoke, he walked to the door, Wang Shi stood outside the door and could clearly hear his footsteps, he didn't know how to follow the man for a while. I was nervous.

The squeaky ........ door opened, and the man wore a white hexagram, stood barefoot, stood in the door, poked his head out and looked at Wang Shi in surprise, and said, "Do you ..... have anything to do with me?"

Wang Shi looked at him embarrassedly, hesitated for a while and said, "I want to worship you as a teacher and learn martial arts from you." ”

When the man heard this, he suddenly laughed: "What kind of martial arts do children learn?" Do you want to learn to fight, so you will be the boss in the academy. Hahaha. ”

As he spoke, the man led Wang Shi into the house. After saying that, the man sat down on the edge of the bed. Wang Shi entered the room and stood by the towel rack at the door, and said, "I didn't learn to fight with my classmates, I learned to take revenge." ”

The man suddenly frowned and asked, "What kind of revenge do you have at such a young age that you need to revenge?" ”

"There's a bandit on Lion Rock here called the Stirrger, and he killed my father. I'm going to learn martial arts to get revenge and kill him. Wang Shi clenched his fists as he spoke.

The man was silent for a while: "You better study hard, don't always want revenge." You go back, I'm going to rest. ”

Wang Shi still wanted to say a few words and persuade him to promise himself, but seeing that the man was unhappy, he had to come out of the house, and the man bolted the door. I can't sleep when I get home.

A few days later, Wang Shi went to the field to plant rice with his mother and came back, at this time it was late in the evening, and the frogs in the paddy fields croaked one after another, like a grand concert. Wang Shi stood by the stream and listened to the croaking of frogs, and there was a city god temple next to the stream. Walking to the temple, there is a stone sculpture of a city god in the middle, and judges stand on both sides. He said to the statue of the god of the city god: "Lord of the city god, if you have a spirit, you will kill all the bandits who stir the. ”

Just as he could see the gods, Wu saw his son go to the City God Temple, and shouted loudly: "Little stone, it's getting dark, don't play for a long time, come back to eat after playing for a while!." Wang Shi agreed, continue to look around in the City God Temple, usually not uncome, every New Year's festival to come to incense, usually busy with school, to not come to play, at the door to see the statues of the little ghost on both sides grinning teeth hateful, so he slapped the leg of the little ghost with his hand, feeling the hot pain of the hand, he had a flash of inspiration, if he came to the statue of the little ghost every day, the tolerance of the hand will gradually increase. Thinking of this, he began to fight against the statue of the little ghost, and made a plan to come and beat it for an hour every day starting tomorrow morning.

In the evening, I went home and ate early, went to sleep, and in the early morning I heard the drums playing on the watchtower, it was already five watches, and it was dawn in an hour, Wang Shi turned over from the bed, restrained his sleep, rubbed his eyes, and put on his clothes and shoes. Gently opened the door, the morning breeze hit the face, couldn't help but shiver, the sky outside just a little cute, look up at the sky, the stars are shining and blinking, go out, close the door with the backhand, hurriedly go to the west head of the city god temple, walk to the temple door, the silence is very quiet, only the frogs in the paddy field are still croaking non-stop.

First from light to heavy with his hands on the stone statue, until the red sun rises, only to go home, mother has already gotten up to make breakfast, Wang Shi to the stove to help add firewood. I feel that my palms are a little hot and swollen. Look at both sides are red.

After eating, I went to the school.

Time flies quickly in a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, this day Wang Shi harvested rice from the field, with two bamboo baskets to carry the rice home, just arrived at the door, I saw that Mr. was also there, put down the burden, and Mr. saw the ceremony, Mr. said that the court recently opened the list of talents, the students are discussing to go to Jinling to take the exam, let him pack up, on the fifth day of the next month, everyone will go to the dock by boat. After speaking, Mr. was about to leave, Wang Shi stayed and had dinner together in the evening.

The mother is in her sixties and her health is not very good, and she is worried when she hears that Wang Shi is going to take the exam, but for the sake of her son's future, she still smiles all over her face and does not let the child see her unhappiness. Wang Shi went to the kitchen to fry a few side dishes, and his mother forced the sick body to help add firewood to the stove.

Wang Shi filled a glass to Mr.: "Mr. Thank you for your education for so many years, and the students toast you." "After that, I did it first.

The gentleman also took it up and drank it all, "If you want to talk about this troubled world, I don't want to ask you to go to the exam, and now the traitors of the court are in charge." The world is in turmoil. Fortunately, it is peaceful. ”

"Teacher, my mother is not in good health, and I am afraid that there will be no one to take care of her when she walks away. I'm not going. ”

"How can you not go, good men are ambitious in all directions, and now is the time for heroes to use force. should make contributions to the imperial court. The northern golden soldiers are ready to move. War is on the verge of breaking out. ”

When Wang Shi saw that the teacher said this, he had to obey and didn't say anything. After drinking deeper, Wang Shi sent Mr. home. before coming back to rest.

After harvesting a few acres of rice, it is already the end of the month, and the day of departure is approaching. It's the autumn season of September. The weather is not cold, but the journey takes a month and a half, and it is estimated that it will be February next year when I come back after the exam in Jinling. So you still have to bring cotton clothes and quilts. Pack it up and carry it with a flat pole.

On the morning of the fifth day of junior high school, I came out of the house with my burden, and my mother sent it to the pier, and the family members of other classmates also came to the pier to see him off. Everyone shed tears and said goodbye.

There were eight classmates who went together, all of whom had never been far away, and they were very interested at first, and they talked and laughed all the way. The boat passes through the county seat of Zhangzhou, joins the Yangtze River, goes down the river, the mountains on both sides of the river, and several apes echo in the valley, which makes people think of Li Bai's poems: the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat crosses the ten thousand mountains.

Standing on the bow deck and watching the rolling Yangtze River rise and fall, the ship is like an arrow from the string. Walk through the canyon. The river under his feet is green and bottomless, which makes people feel a little afraid.

All the way down the river, less than half a month has arrived in Jinling, the group entered the city to find an inn to live. Just wait for the exam.

On this day, the military division under the-stirring stick, nicknamed Doghead, said: "King, the New Year is coming soon, shouldn't we go and grab some money and food." ”

The-stirring stick sat on a chair in the center of the main hall, picked up a bowl of wine, and drank it with his neck tilted: "What the military advisor said is that he will lead the men and horses to rob the money and food tonight." It's just that Li Jiagou often goes, and he has been robbed of poverty, so let's go to Mopanshan today. ”

The dog head waved his hand: "King, Mopan Mountain goes up from the North Mountain Road, more than 30 miles, the people who walk are sleepy and the horses are lacking, there are forty or fifty families in Mopan Mountain, the fields are not fertile and the land is not thick, and there is not much to rob the rich man's house." At most, there are only a few cattle and sheep. Forget it. ”

"Then let's go to Snake Head Mountain, where is the rich man Wu, the eldest son is an official in Zhangzhou County, and the family must be very fat. One of his minions said.

"Nonsense, Shetou Mountain, from the Beishan road is also thirty miles, the youngest son of the Wu family is an official, and he has not been there before, and the money and property exploited by their family are all in Zhangzhou City. I really couldn't get any oil and water, so every time I asked the king to tie up the rich man Wu and blackmail his son to take a ransom, but the king refused to do it, saying that it was immoral. ”

Everyone talked about it for a while, and then the-stirring stick took a piece of rabbit meat with his hand and gnawed on it, "According to the meaning of the military division, this can't go, that can't go, where is it good." ”

"Let's go to Lutangba!"

"Strategist, since the watchtower was built in Lutangba, we have been there several times, and each time we have returned empty-handed, the watchtower, when we saw us coming down the mountain, they rang the alarm bell, and people hid. ”

"I've got a clever plan to make their watchtower look like nothing. The dog's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke.

"Tell me what you have planned. The crowd asked impatiently.

"Tomorrow is the day of the Lutangba market, let's find a few handsome brothers, dressed in a more decent manner, with only a short knife and dagger on their bodies, from Lijiagou detour down the mountain, along the river, all the way to Lutangba, and then only pretending to be Lijiagou to catch the market, to the lookout, pretending to be to visit. Then we went up to control the bell-ringers, and at dusk we came down the mountain. ”

Everyone in the hall said, "Clever plan." ”

"This plan is good, and it really deserves to be a dog-headed military advisor. Haha" The stirring stick laughed out loud, and let the dog head start to pick out five handsome in the little minions, put on a long shirt, and tied a short knife to his feet, and went down from the Shanxi side path to Lijiagou, and went all the way along the riverbank path from Lijiagou to the people who rushed to the market, and arrived at Lutangba, and had lunch in the village tavern, and saw that when he saw the afternoon unitary, that is, at about three o'clock, five people came to the watchtower, and Zhou Xiaomao, the person on duty on the tower, saw five young men who came over, wearing long robes, and arrived at the watchtower, and were surprised.

A white-skinned man inside raised his head and said loudly: "Hey, we are villagers from Lijiagou, and we want to visit the watchtower, and we are going to build it when we go back." ”

Zhou Xiamao heard him say this, and it seemed that the person looked like Sven, so he believed it, and went down to open the tower gate, and these five people rushed in, knocked Zhou Xiaomao to the ground, tied it with hemp rope, and then closed the tower door from the inside, and blocked his mouth with rags. Then he hid in the tower, and waited for dusk to lead the group down the mountain. When the sun was in the west, the-stirring stick and the dog-head came out of the mountain with more than 30 people, because the villagers did not get the warning, did not flee and prepare, and the-stirring stick and others plundered all the way, only the people who lived in the dock and the back of the village, and some merchants in the bazaar, hurriedly ran to the wharf and fled by boat. The goods in the shop were looted. When a group of bandits returned, they passed by the door of Wang Shi's house, and Wang Shi's mother heard the bandits knock on the door again, and snatched a pig that was being fed in the back pen of the house, and also caught three hens in the chicken coop under the stove. After robbing the food in the hall, she got up from her bed and scolded: "You bandits and robbers who have been killed by heaven, you still won't let us live." ”

The minions were beaten with a few big mouths, and the old lady fainted, and the bandits returned to the mountains with the loot. Back in the mountains, everyone drank and celebrated, and ate while stirring up: "Strategist, your plan is really good." I don't know how I came up with it. ”

This plan is called, "Lu Zimeng crosses the river in white clothes" is also called a plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea. While drinking, the dog head talked about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, and Guan Gong was defeated and took Maicheng. Everyone said: "The military advisor is really knowledgeable." ”

The old lady was filled with grief and indignation, and after three days, she died, and the village chief helped arrange the funeral. He buried him next to Wang Shuang's tomb. Winter goes to spring, to the beginning of spring in February, the group of people who went to Jinling for the exam came back, and everyone returned from the list. Everyone was dissatisfied, and the boat went ashore at the dock and went home.

Wang Shi walked to the door of the house and saw that the door was closed and there was spider silk on the door. I don't know what's going on, where my mother has gone. At this time, the neighbor's Aunt Li bent over and said, "Child, after you left, the bandits in the mountains came to the village to rob and robbed your pigs and chickens, and your mother was also angry." Bury next to your father's grave. You'll check it out later. Stick incense to your mother. ”

After listening to Aunt Li's words, Wang Shi stood in place, and it took a long time to cry loudly, Aunt Li pulled him to the house and sat down to comfort him for a long time, Wang Shi said with tears in his eyes: "The bandits haven't come here to rob for many years, why did they come suddenly." Didn't the people in the watchtower ring the bell to call the police beforehand? ”

This time, the bandits disguised themselves as people rushing to the market, tied up Zhou Xiaomao, who was ringing the bell in the watchtower, and gagged him, and then brought people down from the mountain with a-stirring stick. So everyone was defenseless. ”

Wang Shi gritted his teeth with hatred, "If I don't break these beasts into pieces, I swear that I will not be human." ”

In the evening, Aunt Li left him for dinner, Zhang Niuer was already the father of two children, and the whole family sat around the table and asked him about the customs of Jinling, and chatted until late, and Wang Shi returned home. The next day, I bought some incense and candles and went to the grave to worship my parents. When he came back and walked to the City God Temple, he slapped the little ghost in the abdomen with a strong palm, only to see that the one-person-high stone statue was beaten and moved backwards an inch away. I have a small success in my heart, and I haven't practiced in vain in the past ten years, and it is the iron pestle grinding needle. Drop stone wears.

Both parents have died, and it's time to settle the blood debt with the-stirring stick. Go home and change into a short coat and wrap leggings with strips of cloth. A new pair of cloth shoes. The next day, I went to the market and bought a short knife, which was also tied to my elbow, and when I used it, I could take it out with my right hand in my sleeve, which was convenient and fast. Everything stops, look at the yellow calendar, tonight is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and it will be a few days, and wait until the night of the fifteenth, it is the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high. It's the day of revenge.

The next day, a few classmates came to the house, playing around, and one of the classmates surnamed Tang said: "I saw you buy a short knife in the market yesterday, what are you going to do?" The rest of the people asked. Forced to ask, Wang Shi had to lie: "I'm going to open a meat stall and buy some cattle and sheep from near and far to slaughter." So buy knives. ”

"You're going to be a butcher, haha, we'll buy meat later, and you'll give us something cheaper. "Everyone followed suit.

After a few days, I saw that it had been postponed until the night of the 14th, and I heard the watchtower start three watches, because of this robbery, the village sent one person to the watchtower, and two people in each class were on duty, and no one who knew each other was allowed to enter the tower. Organize the townspeople to set up checkpoints at the intersection to check the pedestrians. So later the dog head tried to use the same method, but it didn't work.

Wang Shi heard the third watch, got up from the bed, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, opened the door, turned around and closed the door, and did not lock it. From the mountain forest behind the house to the mountain, do not take the main road, only walk through the pine forest, by the moonlight, to the main peak of the Lion Rock, from time to time startled a few birds in the forest. From the pine forest has been along the ridge of the mountain, walked five or six miles, can already see the bandit village of Lion Rock in the distance, a yellow flag flutters with the wind on the flagpole standing high in front of the door, and two small minions can be seen on the gatehouse of the gate of the walled gate. How can you get in with such a tight guard?

Quietly continuing to get closer in the woods, an old pine tree 100 meters away from the village has dense branches and leaves, surrounded by towering trees. Exactly a great place to hide. He took advantage of the cover of darkness into the forest, climbed the pine tree and hid in the branches and leaves, watching the movement in the village.

After another hour, the east was white, the morning star gradually disappeared, and a red sun rose. I saw the gate open. A man of medium stature, of thin build, came out of the stockade with a bucket on his shoulder, and walked to the well by the brook.

It turned out that the bandits' stockade was built on the main peak of Lion Rock, and the source of the spring of the mountain creek was in the village, when the village was built, it was spring, the rain was sufficient, and the spring produced a large amount of water.

This year, the weather is dry, there has been no rain since the beginning of winter, until March now, half a year of drought, no rain has fallen, and the water in the spring is now very small, not enough for the people in the village to drink. So I rotated a small minion every day, and went to the mountain spring fifty meters below the village in the morning to fetch water. No matter how long the drought lasts, the water of this mountain spring will not decrease. This is also one of the sources where the water in the ditch is always murmuring. Half of the farmland in Lutangba is irrigated by this stream.

The little minion carried the bucket down to the spring, scooped up the spring water with a wooden scoop and poured it into the bucket, and after a while the bucket was full, and then put the scoop still in place, and went back to the village with the water, and went back to the village with the water after a short time, and then walked out to the spring with the bucket, Wang Shi thought of a clever plan, he sneaked to the spring, saw the little minion put down the wooden bucket, and then picked up the scoop to scoop water into the spring, he suddenly flashed out of the grass, and also wanted to try his palm strength after ten years of hard work, so he used the palm of his right hand to exert all his strength, patted on the top of the head of the little minion who was squatting and scooping water, only to hear a muffled sound: bang!, when I looked at the little minion again, my body fell into the spring. Wang Shi looked around and no one saw him, so he quickly pulled the body of the little minion into the woods next to him, carefully examined his skull, and the place where his palm was slapped was already broken. The minions' eyes, nose, and mouth began to bleed out.

Rip off all the clothes of the little minion and put them on. Cover the body with grass. Then he disguised himself as a bandit carrying water, and walked towards the village with a bucket, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the village, the bandits inside opened the door. Wang Shi lowered his head and walked inside, because he didn't know where the kitchen was. As soon as I walked straight forward, I was stopped by a bandit, "Leper, where are you going to pick up the water, you didn't wake up from sleep." The kitchen is over there," she said, kicking him in the ass. Wang Shi didn't dare to speak, for fear that others would hear that the voice was wrong, but he lowered his head and went to the kitchen according to this person's guidance, and as soon as he picked up the bucket into the kitchen, he saw three large water tanks on the left hand side, one was full, the other two were full, one of them had half a tank of water, and the other was not water, so he poured the water in the bucket into the tank. At this time, a big man walked in, with a big belly, a fat head and big ears, and saw Wang Shi who was pouring water into the tank: "Two tanks of water today are enough for you to choose." The spring water in the back mountain has dried up, and a tank of water has flowed up in one day and one night, and I don't know when it will rain on this day. If it doesn't rain for a day, you'll be able to pick one. ”

Wang Shi was thinking while pouring water, could he really go to the well to fetch water, and he was tired of carrying two jars of water. After pouring the water, he put the bucket on the ground, looked back at the fat man, and went into the kitchen to complain about the weather while going to the stove. He wanted to go behind him and give him a slap of the Heavenly Spirit Cover, beating him to death.

While the fat man was struggling with the pot, he saw Wang Shi put down the bucket and leaned his flat burden against the wall, and walked over to him: "You don't want to be lazy if you don't go to fetch water, go quickly, I'll start cooking lunch right away, and I'm still waiting for water." Look at Wang Shi Miansheng: "Who are you, why have I never seen you." Wang Shi still didn't agree, at this time he had already walked in front of the fat man, the fat man was a head taller than Wang Shi, and his body was bigger, and he didn't take it seriously when he saw Wang Shi walking in front of him, and he was watching Wang Shi suddenly jump up, and his right palm was covered by the king from top to bottom, and a palm hit the top of the fat man's head. The fat man fell to the ground. Carefully touch the skull to smash. The fat man is dying.

There are more than 50 bandits in this stockade, and if they rush up, they will be invincible with two fists and four hands. Hide the fat man's corpse in the firewood and grass in the kitchen first. You have to come up with a clever plan to kill these people without bloodshed. There is really no better way than poisoning. But I didn't think about it when I came, and if I could buy a few packs of rat poison when I came, it would have come in handy now. But where will you find poison? After thinking about it, I didn't have an idea, and it was delayed for a while.

It was almost noon, and a few minions came to the kitchen, shouting: "Fatty, fat, die, look at when, you haven't cooked yet, you want to starve to death." For a while, the king will not pick your skin. ”

These minions didn't see the fat man in the kitchen, but they saw Wang Shi sitting in front of the stove and asked, "Where is the fat man, why don't you cook?" Wang Shi was afraid that people would recognize him, so he wrapped his face with gauze. said: "The fat man just had a stomach upset and went to the thatched house." A little minion asked, "What's the matter with your face?" ”

"I accidentally fell just now and broke my face, and the fat man helped me apply some herbs. ”

A few minions were noisy in the kitchen for a while before going out. Wang Shi found the rice bowl in the kitchen, took a few pieces of bacon in the storage room next to the kitchen, washed it, chopped it, and boiled a pot, the restaurant was on the right side of the kitchen, and by noon these bandits were all sitting in it waiting to eat, to see that the porridge in the pot had been boiled. It was served in two buckets, scooped up and mentioned to the restaurant, and everyone didn't know Wang Shi when he saw that his face was wrapped in gauze, and they didn't know who it was. So he asked, "Where did the fat man go?" Wang Shi only said: "The fat man has a stomach in the thatched house." "Everyone just eats and doesn't have any doubts. They all praised him for the delicious meat porridge.

Everyone was eating, Wang Shi put the remaining meat porridge in the pot in two wooden barrels and put it on the table in the restaurant, drinking the meat porridge for the first big man: "Which of you saw Laizi, he went to fetch water this morning, why didn't he come to eat now." The person who asked the question is called Wu Ren, and the man who carried the water is a fellow villager, who is used to robbing homes and houses, is wanted by the government, and just went up the mountain last year. So the relationship between the two is very deep. When it was time to eat, I didn't see Laizi, so I asked.

Everyone only cared about eating and didn't answer, Wang Shixin said, how can this be good, if you can't find it for a while, it will definitely make trouble, and when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide. Then he said: "In the morning, when Lai Zi was carrying water, he came in and argued with the fat man for a few words, and then the fat man said that he had an upset stomach and wanted to go to the toilet, and asked me to help him watch the kitchen, and then he went out, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

Wu Ren tilted his head sideways, stared at Wang Shi with his eyes, clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth, and said, "What do you hear them fighting for?"

"When I entered the door, I heard Laizi say that the person who carried the water yesterday was lazy and didn't pick it up, so he asked him to fill two large tanks today. Then the fat man said that it was none of his business whether yesterday's people were lazy or not. Wang Shi looked at Wu Ren as he spoke, only to see Wu Ren put down the dishes and chopsticks and rushed to the kitchen angrily.

At this time, a short and thin black man of less than five feet came in from outside the door, which is about one meter four at the current height, dressed in a green coat and a big black mole on his forehead. When I walked into the restaurant and looked left and right, everyone shouted loudly: "Dwarf winter melon, what are you looking for?" ”

"Dwarf winter melon, why don't you wait in the boss's room, why are you here? Hahaha" Everyone is gossiping and just joking.

The black dwarf man ignored them, looked around the restaurant, and finally saw Wang Shi, whose face was wrapped in gauze, standing by the wooden barrel and scooping porridge for everyone, "What did you cook?"

"En!" Wang Shi agreed as he looked at the black dwarf

"The fat man went there, why didn't he cook, let you cook, who are you?" The black dwarf man asked a series of questions, Wang Shi thought for a while: "This morning, the fat man and Lai Zi quarreled a few words and said that they had a stomach and went out, let me help cook, and then they didn't come back." The thin black man looked at Wang Shi suspiciously, "Then who are you, why haven't I seen you before, looking so raw." ”

Wang Shi was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, if he said a name nonsense, he couldn't lie. This is not to be exposed, at this time, a handsome and strong young man said loudly: "Dwarf winter melon, you flatter in front of the king every day, add to the ditch, don't take care of our father's affairs here." "The name of the person who spoke was Zhang Chengfu, because two years ago he was selling fruits in the vegetable market and met Liu Yuanwai's son in the city who brought a group of people to buy a few pears, not only did not give him money but also beat him, he was angry for a while, rushed up, beat Liu Yuanwai's son Liu Dalang to death with a fist and toe, committed a life lawsuit, and fled to Lion Rock. is a good citizen, but he is also forced to be helpless, and he usually sees them go down the mountain to rob their homes and houses, and they are not used to bullying men and women. When I saw Wang Shi embarrassed just now, I had already seen the clues. Then he said: "He is my cousin in the city, named Brother Zhang Ying. Just went up the mountain the other day. What's the matter, you're not convinced. ”

The black dwarf man was a little annoyed and said, "Okay, but the king asked why his food hadn't been sent yet, and asked me to urge it." After speaking, he urged Wang Shi to carry another wooden barrel and led out of the restaurant, Wang Shi glanced back at Zhang Chengfu, and Zhang Chengfu smiled slightly.

After coming out of the dining room and walking through the two halls, I walked into a wooden house on the north side, and saw the stirring stick sitting on a large rattan chair in the middle of the room, and a picture of the Tiger Roaring Mountain forest hung on the back wall. On the left sits the head of the military advisor. The two were talking about something. I saw the black dwarf man leading Wang Shi in carrying a wooden barrel.

"Who's this man, dog! You've lived enough to bring a stranger in. ”

The black dwarf man hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Back to the king, Zhang Fatzi, who cooked, quarreled with Lai Zi in the morning, and then went out and didn't come back now, and when he left, he asked him to cook, this person is Zhang Chengfu's cousin Brother Zhang Ying." ”

The dog head listened and said, "Then you go and call Laizi, and I'll ask what's going on." ”

"Laizi is also gone. The dog replied

"I don't care about so much first, scoop the rice first, and I'm talking when I'm full. The stirring stick urged, while taking the porridge bowl from the dog's hand and began to eat.

Wang Shi looked at the-stirring stick for eating, and his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't wait to go and slap him to death immediately for Tianlinggai. But seeing that he is taller than himself even if he sits on the chair, he is afraid that he will not be able to slap him Tianlinggai if he rashly steps forward and slaps him on his body, and he may not be able to beat him to death. I had to endure it, but fortunately I have an identity to cover myself now.

Standing aside to watch the stirring stick and the dog head finish eating the porridge, bend down to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then the stirring stick commanded: "It's noon today! Forget it, for the first time you cook, I don't know the rules, usually my food is made alone." Before the-stirring stick finished speaking, the dog head said on the side: "The king has to eat five catties of meat for every meal, you know, you have to cook a large piece of meat separately." ”

After speaking, he glanced back at the stirring stick, and the stirring stick looked at Wang Shi with an expressionless face to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Wang Shi agreed, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he carried the bucket back to the kitchen.

When Wang Shi walked away, he looked at the military advisor and complained: "Can you not interrupt me in front of my subordinates, you person, how many times have you said that you can't remember, next time you will not be in such a situation." ”

The dog head replied repeatedly: "Don't dare, you must pay attention in the future, you must pay attention." ”

"You are an old oilman, how can you remember if the king doesn't beat him on the board. The dog baby coaxed beside her

The dog head on the side stared at the dog baby viciously with his eyes: "You kid, get out of the way." ”

The-stirring stick said: "Forget it, you are this temper." Let's not take it as an example. ”

Wang Shi returned to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the basket, everything was cleaned up, sat on the bench in front of the stove and looked at the firewood and grass, in a daze, what to do with this fat man's body, if they found it, they wouldn't be able to lie, what I said just now, everyone will definitely think that Zhang Fatzi killed Laizi, if they find Zhang Fatzi's body, everything will be gone. He must be disposed of immediately. After thinking about it for a long time, if the corpse was dragged out, the first pass of the gate guard would not be able to pass. The only way was to dispose of his body in the kitchen, and a terrible thought flashed through my mind, and there was no choice but to do it. Seeing the future, that is, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Shi closed the kitchen door, dragged Zhang Fatzi's body out of the pile of firewood and grass, and then dragged it into the storage room at the back, closed the door, took out the sharp knife on his arm, cut off the head, cut out the internal organs from the chest, and a fishy smell went straight to his nose, and he couldn't help but vomit. I drank a few sips of water, pressed it, took a piece of cloth, blocked my nose, tied a knot at the back of my head, and used it as a mask. Remove the limbs, hands and feet, and the head, and then peel off the skin, put the skin and the head, hands and feet together, take a shovel, dig a deep pit of about one meter on the floor of the storeroom, throw it in, bury it and cover it with soil, and trample on it. Chop the meat into pieces, put it in the pot, and put in the peppercorn and green onion segments. Cover the pot. It's already time to apply for a card after finishing this pass. That is, around 5 to 6 p.m. Exhausted, he sat down on a stool in front of the stove.

Before I could catch my breath, I only heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a few bangs on the door. "Who, don't let people take a nap." Wang Shi pretended to be impatient when he just woke up.

"What are you sleeping, the sun is going to set and you still sleep a fart, the military advisor asked you to go for something. Come on. I'm waiting for you. ”

"What's so in a hurry, I'll have to cook dinner later. ”

"Wu Ren found Laizi's body by the spring at the bottom of the mountain, and the military advisor asked me to call you over to inquire about the situation. Hurry up!" The shouting minion finished speaking and left.

Wang Shi settled his mind, and now he must be calm and not show a panicked expression, otherwise it will be over. I used a handkerchief hanging on the wall to get a basin of water in the water tank and washed the sweat off my body. After washing, it feels a lot cooler. Then he re-wrapped the gauze, and then he suddenly remembered something, didn't the white-faced man just now say that I was his cousin, although he didn't know why he wanted to help me. The identity question was finally perfunctory, but what if I was asked about the wound on my face and asked me to take it apart and examine it. I said that I accidentally fell and got hurt, but I didn't hurt when I opened the gauze, so I didn't wear it. It will also affect the white-faced man who helped me.

Looking at the pointed water chestnut of the stone under the pillar, Wang Shi slammed his right cheek up hard, and suddenly broke an inch-long wound, and there was a sharp pain in his heart. The blood kept flowing down, and he went to the bottom of the pot and deducted a handful of pot ashes, pressed them on the wound, and when he was a child, his hand was accidentally cut by a knife, and his mother used the ashes at the bottom of the pot to bandage the wound, which can play a role in stopping bleeding. But it will leave a black scar. That's how the black scar on the left thumb remains. But now at a critical juncture, I can't care about the issue of appearance. Then wrap it in gauze and wash off the bottom ash of the pot on your hands. Coming out of the kitchen to the Gathering Hall.

In the middle of the Juyi Hall sat a-stirring stick, on the left hand side sat a dog's head, on the right hand side sat a black-faced man, on both sides stood a dozen minions holding steel knives, only to see Wu Ren standing in the middle, Wang Shi walked in, standing next to Wu Ren, the dog head said: "You said at noon, I saw Zhang Fatzi and Lai Zi quarreling in the morning." ”

"Yes," Wang Shi said

"Then you hear why they quarreled. ”

"I heard Raiko say that the person who carried the water yesterday was lazy,"

At this time, the black-faced man sitting opposite the dog's head said loudly: "He farted, yesterday it was Zhou Qimao who picked up the water, and I saw him pick two large tanks." ”

The-stirring stick waved his hand: ", don't talk, I won't ask you." ”

The dog head continued: "Later, you said that Zhang Fat went out. ”

"Yes, Zhang Pang saw Lai Zi go out, and then he went out with him, and told me, I have a stomach problem, let me help cook at noon. Wang Shi just lowered his head when he spoke, he didn't want his eyes to attract the attention of others.

"Yoriko's body was found, but the bucket was not found, as if the bucket was still in the kitchen. You say what's going on. The dog stared at Wang Shi and said.

Wang Shi felt very painful from the dog's eyes, and paused before saying, "Lai Zi and Zhang Fatzi went out empty-handed after the quarrel." ”

"You're saying he didn't carry a bucket when he went out the second time?"

"Yes, it's the third time I've gone out. Wang Shi replied in an affirmative tone

The dog head immediately asked the dog baby to call the two minions who were guarding the door in the morning and asked them if they saw Lai Zi go out empty-handed in the morning, and the two minions said that they didn't pay attention, maybe they went out, and they were scolded by the dog head: "You remember being eaten by the dog." ”

Everyone outside coaxed: "The military advisor was eaten by you, hahaha." ”

Wu Renyi demanded that Zhang Fatzi must be caught to avenge Laizi, and kept scolding Zhang Fatzi in the main hall. The dog head comforted: "Don't worry, we will now send our brothers to inquire about the whereabouts of this fat man, and once there is news, I will arrest him and hand it over to you, so that you can avenge your brother." ”

The-stirring stick then asked everyone to go back to rest, "Don't delay the time, it's not early, Xiao Zhang has to go to the kitchen to be busy making dinner." If you delay it, everyone will have to go hungry. The crowd was about to retreat, but the dog raised his right hand and said, "Slow, everyone stay." ”

"What else does the military advisor have to say? The-stirring stick asked

"Please also ask Brother Zhang to remove the gauze on his face and let me see if the injury is serious. The dog tilted his head and looked at Wang Shi.

Wang Shi looked at the-stirring stick and everyone in the hall, all staring at him, Wang Shi untied the gauze to reveal the wound on his face, blood oozed from the black ash at the bottom of the pot, and the wrapped white gauze also dyed red. The dog head approached and looked at the wound, "Brother Zhang, why are you so careless, knocking such a big hole, oops." Tut-tut!" After saying that, he returned to his seat and sat down.

The-stirring stick asked the dog baby to go up and help Wang Shi wrap the gauze again. complained about the dog's head and said: "My own brother, look at you, you are suspicious." ”

"Isn't that what I care about? ”

"Nothing to do, I'm going to cook. Wang Shi clasped his fists and saluted

"Go down," he said, waving his hand, and everyone dispersed.
