Chapter 8
The led a group of minions out of two miles, and saw from a distance a large group of men and horses beating gongs and drums, driving cattle and sheep behind, carrying burdens, and coming towards the cottage. I don't know what kind of fame it is. Tell the minions to line up left and right, and the crossbowmen will go to the trees on both sides to ambush, with the carrying the knife in front and the rest of the minions holding the knife behind. After a while, the team approached, and the shouted, "What the hell, dare to come to my cottage!
I saw the first man wearing a black cloth robe on the opposite side, waving back to stop the gong and drum, trotting a few steps forward, and shouting: "Black leader, I am the patriarch of Longtougou." β
When the looked closely, it turned out to be the son of the old patriarch of Longtougou, the old patriarch died, and he became the patriarch, and the lived in his house for a long time last time when he went to Longtougou. The two got acquainted.
After a while, the stopped the group and said, "What are you doing here?" β
The patriarch stepped forward and said with a smile: "Last time, I relied on the kings in the cottage to eliminate harm for the place, and today I presented a gift of cattle and sheep wine, and red satin, and came to honor the king, and also expressed our gratitude!"
The smiled: "It's rare that you are so attentive, so please go into the cottage to talk." β
The led everyone in front, sent a minion back to report the news, opened the door of the village, the team entered the cottage, the cattle and sheep wine ceremony was handed over to the dog baby to be responsible for the collection, and the stirring stick ordered to kill the sheep and slaughter the cow, and the big banquet, the patriarch led by the leader invited to Juyi to listen to the narrative. The rest of the group rested in the cafeteria. There are minions to show tea to everyone.
Wang Shi and Wang Niu'er couldn't be busy at all, so they called Zhang Chengfu, Thin Monkey, Buck Tooth, Bian Yan, Li San, Wang Si, and Zhao Wu to help, and they were still busy spinning tops. Wang Shi was busy, and finally cut the cattle and sheep into small pieces and put them in the pot to cook, and saw Li San put the rice in the steamer, and the thin monkey carried a bucket of sheep intestines to the back, so he hurriedly stopped: "Where do you lift the intestines!"
"Mention the latrine, it's down!"
"Stop, the sheep's intestines are delicious, you bring it to the stream and cut the intestines with a knife, you won't get it, I'll go in a while, just put it at the door." β
The monkey brought the bucket back and put it at the kitchen door, and muttered, "The sheep intestines are so thin, how difficult it is to wash." "Put down the bucket and go to the restaurant."
Wang Shi was wondering, the patriarch ate too much, and the-stirring stick didn't rob him, but he sent it to the door himself, although the last time he went to Longtougou to eradicate the iron footboard, he helped the township except for a harm, and when he lived in Longtougou, his minions also went to the village to harm the villagers, and ruined several big girls. Now they are still sending gifts to the door, which is really a bit unbelievable. The kitchen was not busy, so I waited for the food to be served at noon, so I walked to the door of the restaurant and looked in, only to see a dozen porters, five gong and drummers, and more than a dozen villagers sitting inside. Among the villagers, there was a person wrapped in a green cloth towel and wearing a gray cloth robe, which was Zheng Tianfu. This Zhengtianfu and the cottage have the hatred of killing his wife and children, how can he come to give gifts. I killed the iron footboard, Wang Shi thought of this, it is estimated that Zheng Tianfu will not come easily this time, and he will not come to avenge his brother's death. The dog head killed his wife and son. Zheng Tianfu must have come to kill the dog head and me. Wang Shi thought of this, and hurriedly turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Look at noon, put the wine and food on the table, the stirring stick with the dog head and the patriarch are coming to the restaurant, usually the stirring stick is in the bedroom, Wang Niu'er sent the food over, today because of the reception of the patriarch, so came to the restaurant, and the patriarch dog head sat at a table, the dog baby poured wine next to the side, the wine passed three rounds of dishes over the five flavors, was eating, Zheng Tianfu came over with a bowl of wine from the table next to him, stopped next to the dog head, the dog head and the recognized Zheng Tianfu, the stirring stick and the patriarch looked at him, Zheng Tianfu smiled at the stirring stick and said: "King, last time I thanked you for eliminating harm in our place, and I saluted you with a bowl. Do it first for respect!" He tilted his neck after speaking. When it's dry, show the mouth of the bowl outward.
The-stirring stick said, "It's so refreshing!" and took the bowl and dried it in one bite.
The dog baby brought the wine altar and gave it another bowl, Zheng Tianfu persuaded the to take another bowl, and then said to the dog head: "Thank you for the military advisor who came to our dragon head ditch last time to give advice, I salute you with this bowl!"
The dog was confused, this Zheng Tianfu was killed by my wife and children, and today he wanted to toast me, but I didn't know what he meant. I also dried the wine. Then he said: "Brother Zheng, I had no choice but to kill your wife last time, and it was all forced by your brother, I hope you will forgive me." β
Zheng Tianfu laughed: "A wife is like a dress, don't you get another one, and your son can still be born." The military advisor is too careful, hahaha. I've forgotten about this for a long time!" Saying that, the dog baby came over to pour wine again, Zheng Tianfu raised the wine bowl and said, "Come to the military division, I will salute you with a bowl." β
Gou Tou drank three bowls with Zheng Tianfu in a row, and his head began to shake a little. Everyone was a little drunk, and the minions took the dog's head back to the back bedroom to rest, and the patriarch was also a little drunk, so he got up and ordered the porter and the villagers who came with him to go back after lunch, and the stirring stick left the patriarch Zheng Tianfu and the two to play for a few more days.
When he drank at noon, he didn't get drunk at all, and the patriarch and Zheng Tianfu were drunk and were helped to the dormitory by the two minions to rest. By the time I ate in the evening, the wine had not yet woken up.
The rest of the villagers and the gong and drummer went out of the cottage after lunch, and went back to the bedroom, and let the dog call the monkey in, and secretly ordered something only to see the monkey, wearing a black cloth scarf, wearing a linen hexagram, and a pair of bast shoes on his feet. Walking through the playground and towards the gate of the village empty-handed, Wang Shi had already seen it, and hurriedly caught up: "Brother Monkey, where are you going." β
When the fine monkey heard someone telling him to turn around and stop looking, he saw that it was Wang Shi, so he said: "It's Brother Zhang, just now, let me go down the mountain to Lutangba and feel the situation." β
Wang Shi saw that he was going to Lutangba, so he asked: "What's the situation, is the king going to go to Lutangba again?" β
"Last night, the dog head made a plan, ready to rob the Lutang Dam again this time, let me first go to touch the situation of the Lutang Dam, and then from Lijiagou, detour back to the river, take the waterway, take the wharf first, and start to rob from the street, in the past, they always escaped from the wharf. β
When Wang Shi heard this, he let out a cold sweat, the watchtower usually just paid attention, the path where the lion came down, and the road where Li Jiagou came over, never paid attention to the situation on the river, and the Li family communicated with the road card to Lutangba, so it was also like a fictitious. If the bandits attack from the wharf, all the merchants and villagers will have nowhere to escape, and the only thing is a small road to the Loess Ridge, and there is no way to leave quickly.
Wang Shi had a plan and said: "This will already be the time of the unitary card, from the cottage to Lijiagou there are more than ten miles, how can it take an hour, then you can go fast, it will be dark by then, from Lijiagou to Lutangba is fifteen or sixteen miles, the township on the roadcard, still don't take you and torture you carefully?, what do you say you are doing, say that you are going to the market, there is no that market is to go at night." What do you say you're doing at Lutangba? β
"You don't know, the dog head is saying that you want to go at night, touch and see, they are at night and during the day, the defensive situation, how many townsmen there are. β
"As I wish, tomorrow morning, I will go with you. Wang Shi said with a smile
"If it's a dog's head, what do you say!"
"I take this responsibility, and now I am also the third master, can't I do this little thing. Go, go, go, come with me for a drink. He pulled the monkey and went to the kitchen. The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Wang Niuer sat on the side and only cared about eating, the two drank five or six bowls, Wang Shi was a little drunk, so he pushed and said to go to the toilet, and quickly ran back to the bedroom, and saw Zhang Chengfu lying down and sleeping, and hurriedly went up and shook two to wake up: "You get up quickly for me." β
"What are you doing! Lao Tzu had just fallen asleep for a while, and you woke him up again. Zhang Chengfu sat up from the bed impatiently.
"Now you go and help me get the monkey drunk, I'll come in a moment, when I come out, I said it's going to the toilet, he's in the kitchen, you go quickly." Wang Shi whispered
Zhang Chengfu rubbed his eyes, "You have a lot of things to do in a day! He got up and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Chengfu walked into the kitchen and saw that the thin monkey was sandwiching a piece of beef and wanted to send it to his mouth, "Brother Monkey, you are good, secretly eat meat and drink wine here, I said why didn't you see my cousin." It turned out that I was here with you to eat and drink. What about others?"
Before the monkey agreed, Wang Niu'er said: "He said to go to the toilet, but he probably vomited." β
"How come, Brother Zhang casually drinks a pound of wine, and it's no problem, he will vomit after drinking so many bowls. I don't believe it. β
While the three of them were talking, Wang Shi came in from the door, "I ate too much at noon, it will be a bit upset, hahaha, come and drink! Drink!"
Zhang Chengfu and Wang Shi took turns pouring wine, and the fine monkey drank more than a dozen bowls in a row, and the sky was spinning unconsciously. Drunk and fell to the ground, Wang Shi and Zhang Chengfu carried the monkey into the storage room, spread a straw mat on the ground, and settled the monkey on it, because Wang Niu'er didn't need to deliver food today. So I didn't worry about Wang Niu'er saying that the monkey was drunk when he delivered the meal.
When it was time for dinner, the-stirring stick and the dog head came to the restaurant to entertain the patriarch for dinner, and the wine was high at noon, and the patriarch did not drink much wine at night. At noon the next day, Zheng Tianfu woke up from wine, and only then came to the restaurant for lunch, the stirring stick and the dog-headed, the patriarch, also pulled Zheng Tianfu to sit at a table, the-stirring stick sat on the top, the dog's head sat on the left, the sat next to the dog's head, the patriarch sat on the right, Zheng Tianfu sat on the bottom, and the-stirring stick sat on the table, staggered, and drank until half-drunk, I saw Zheng Tianfu get up from sitting up, come to the dog's head with a wine bowl, and the dog's head also stood up from the seat with the wine bowl. The didn't care, and took a leg of mutton to gnaw on.
Zheng Tianfu said: "Military advisor, I respect you for a bowl, the person I admire the most is you, comparable to Zhuge Liang, clever and resourceful." Come and drink, I'll do it first. After speaking, he raised his neck and drank, holding the bowl in both hands, and the bowl rushed out, indicating that he had dried up. The dog head also raised the wine bowl and tilted his neck, at this time, Zheng Tianfu's right hand reached into the sleeve of his left hand, took out a sharp knife to untie his wrist, stepped forward, and the tip of the knife in his right hand stabbed directly into the throat of the dog head. It pierced deeply, piercing the trachea and esophagus, and the tip of the knife pierced three inches deep. At this time, this sudden situation stunned the dog who poured wine on the side, and the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground and smashed with a bang. Then there were two more snaps, and the wine bowl in the dog's hand and the wine bowl in Zheng Tianfu's hand fell to the ground at the same time.
For this stab, Zheng Tianfu began to practice at home every day two months ago, drawing a knife, stepping forward, and stabbing forward, just this one action, practicing every day from morning to night, and has been practicing for more than two months. When he was accustomed to practice, he took out his savings and bought more than a dozen sheep, two cows, and a dozen jars of good wine, and all preparations were stopped, he went to the patriarch's house, and met each other and said: "My third brother, harassing the place, and killing your father, and later thanks to the kings of Lion Rock, for the villagers to eliminate harm." I bought some cattle and sheep at my own expense, and I wanted to send them to Lion Rock with the patriarch to present them to the king, and also to express my gratitude. β
When the patriarch heard this, he was also a little skeptical, and said: "Others said that they were going to thank the king of Lion Rock, and I still believed it, and you said that you were going to thank you, but I really didn't believe it, your wife was killed by them, don't you hate, and your son was also killed by them, don't you hate?"
Zheng Tianfu laughed: "Patriarch, my third brother has killed so many people, and the kings have killed my wife and son, it is also a last resort, I just want to force the iron foot to show up." The sins done by my family should have been paid back by my family, and my wife can be taken if I am gone, and my son is gone. I've long forgotten about these things. Hahahaha. Patriarch, you are really hearty. β
After listening to Zheng Tianfu's words, the patriarch believed it to be true, so he agreed to go together, the reason why Zheng Tianfu wanted to bring the patriarch here was also part of the revenge plan, and the culprit of the third brother was the patriarch's family.
That's why he pushed him as the head, after he killed the dog's head, the-stirring stick would inevitably be angry with him, and he would definitely die at that time, and the patriarch would have to be buried together. When he was drinking yesterday, Zheng Tianfu didn't make a move, because he saw the dog head and the still being defensive about him. Yesterday, I said these toasting words back and forth more than a dozen times, and every time I toasted, I had to say it again, and I heard the dog head and the stirring up the, and the patriarch had calluses in his ears. Just now he got up again to toast, and he was one step away from the dog's head. When he raised the wine bowl and said those clichΓ©d toasts, the people at the table tilted their heads to the side, and the dog's head was also a little careless, Zheng Tianfu secretly looked at it in his eyes and knew that the time was ripe. When the dog head leaned up his neck to drink, he stepped forward and stabbed a knife in the throat, the dog head threw the wine bowl on the ground, grabbed the knife with both hands, opened his mouth wide and couldn't scream, the and the-stirring stick were stunned when they looked back at this time, after all, they were battle-hardened people, and immediately reacted, the turned over and punched Zheng Tianfu on the temple, knocking Zheng Tianfu away, and landed on a wooden table a few meters away, the table was full of cups and plates, wine and food, and shattered the ground, and several minions stepped forward to press Zheng Tianfu to the ground. The patriarch was so frightened that he sat on the bench tremblingly, like pig iron poured, unable to move. The-stirring stick, hurriedly holding the dog's head and lying down, shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang Ying! Brother Zhang Ying!" Wang Shi heard the shout, came out of the crowd and ran over, quickly pulled out the sharp knife inserted in his neck, tilted his neck back, pulled out the trachea a little, and did not let the blood enter, if the blood entered the trachea, he would be choked to death immediately.
The-stirring stick asked repeatedly: "What to do, what to do, you save him quickly." You can't die!"
At this time, Zheng Tianfu, who was being held aside, laughed and roared: "Dog head, Lao Tzu finally killed you." You also have today, I let you kill my wife and children!, today Lao Tzu finally killed you with his own hands!" Then he raised his head and shouted: "Son, wife, you have a spirit in heaven, see that I have helped you avenge." You're waiting for me!, I'll be with you right away. Hahaha!" he laughed non-stop. The-stirring stick's face turned blue and reprimanded angrily: "Lock him up in the back mountain, and the patriarch, lock him up together, and I will cut you with a thousand knives in a while! β
The patriarch only screamed bitterly, and complained loudly: "The king, this is none of my business, don't kill good people indiscriminately." Tell the king, black chief!" the did not speak, but the minions stepped forward, threw the patriarch to the ground, and locked him up in the cave behind him.
Wang Shi carefully examined the wound, and found that the sharp knife had cut off the trachea, and half of the esophagus had also been severed, and the major arteries in the neck on both sides had not been harmed. Although the trachea was temporarily treated, after all, the esophagus was cut off and could not be treated, so he could only shake his head and let the minions carry the dog's head back to the bedroom, put it on the bed, and drag it slowly, and it was estimated that it would take two or three days to slowly starve to death.
The dog head has followed the stirring stick for more than ten years, and the two have a very deep relationship, and the stirring stick saw that the dog head couldn't eat and drink like this now, and couldn't speak, so he could only stay by the bedside, sad and didn't think about tea and dinner, and it dragged on for four days, and the dog head finally swallowed his breath on the morning of the fifth day. The-stirring stick cried bitterly, and instructed the minions to set up a mourning hall in the Juyi Hall, and the people in the cottage wore filial piety clothes, and invited the Taoist priest to overdue.
Zheng Tianfu and the patriarch, kneeling in front of the spirit, the two little minions held down their left and right hands, and the-stirring stick held a sharp knife in front of Zheng Tianfu, held the knife in front of his mouth, tore his clothes with both hands, exposed his chest, picked up the sharp knife in his right hand and cut a cut on his chest, blood kept flowing out, Zheng Tianfu screamed in pain, and scolded in his mouth: "You brute, I won't let you go if I die!"
The-stirring stick then put the knife in his mouth again, pinched Zheng Tianfu's neck with his left hand, and reached through the opening in his chest with his right hand, and then pinched his heart from the inside and pulled it out. Hands were bloody. I saw Zheng Tianfu's eyes wide open, and he died on the spot.
The patriarch on the side saw Zheng Tianfu's heart in his hand bloodily in his hand, and put it in front of the spirit seat of the dog's head, and then turned around and walked over, and the patriarch shouted in his mouth: "Spare your life, spare your life!" The-stirring stick took his big ring knife from the minions, came to the patriarch, swept the leaves with the autumn wind, and cut the patriarch into two pieces, and the upper half of the patriarch's body struggled on the ground for a while before he swallowed, and his condition was unbearable.
The little minions came over and dragged the body out and buried it, did a few more days of rituals, made a few all-nighters, and buried the dog's head at the pass on the east side of the Lion Mountain.
Since the death of the dog head, the stirring stick has become more irritable and suspicious, every time Wang Niu'er goes to deliver food, he must taste it first, and he only eats it when he sees that Wang Niu'er has nothing to eat. For the dog baby, a little uncomfortable, slap the toes together.
When the dog head had an accident, Wu Ren was still lying on the bed and couldn't get off the ground, and he slowly raised it well in the past few days, getting up early in the morning and walking around in the cottage, the birds in the mountains and forests were singing, and the morning breeze was particularly refreshing. There was nothing to do in the playground, and everyone went to the dining room for breakfast, and Wu Ren also came over. Li San was eating, holding a nest head in his hand: "Brother Wu, the injury on your buttocks is healed, and you can walk on the ground." β
The two men next to him continued to talk: "Okay, I'm afraid that the scar is good and forgets the pain, and I think about harming people." β
The dog baby's face was blue and purple, and she walked around looking for the fine monkey, and saw the thin monkey talking and laughing with Wang Shi in the corner, "Brother Monkey! The king told me to look for you, go to the Juyi Hall immediately, and ask you something." β
"Okay, I'll go after dinner!"
"Don't eat it, it's better to go with me immediately, the king has been in a bad mood recently. Waiting impatiently, after a while, I will be anxious, and I will lose my temper again. The dog baby was urging on the side
Wang Shi turned around and saw the dog baby, his face was blue and swollen, "What did you do with this face?"
"Yesterday it was really moldy, the king got up in the morning to drink tea, I immediately lifted the teapot and poured him a bowl, the king took a sip and drank it and immediately squirted out, burning his mouth not lightly. Scolded, said I wanted to burn him. Got a couple of slaps in the face when he turned around. At that time, I didn't remember that the tea had just been boiled, and it hadn't cooled yet. Hey!"
"I can't blame you, he's such a big person, I don't know if the water is hot when I drink it. I dare to drink it in one gulp. Wang Shi comforted
The fine monkey stood up and followed the dog baby to the righteous hall, as soon as he came in, he saw a-stirring stick sitting on the top and a sitting on the right.
The thin monkey clasped his fists and saluted, and then arched his hand and said: "In the past few days, because of the affairs of the military advisor, I have been busy with these miscellaneous things, and I have not been able to go down the mountain. β
When the-stirring stick heard this, he said with some anger on his face: "The military advisor has done something, I want you to do some chores, you have your own kitchen for cooking, and it is all who take care of these affairs, I think you are obviously lazy and don't want to contribute." Willfully disobeying my orders. β
The thin monkey hurriedly distinguished: "Little brother that dare, you don't know, the kitchen is too busy, the three masters asked me to help in the kitchen, you don't believe it, you can call the three masters to ask." β
Hearing that he said that it was the third master who shouted to help, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it this time, you go down the mountain immediately to find out the news, and hurry up to report back." β
The thin monkey came out to change his clothes, dressed up as a villager, and just walked to the gate of the village. Wang Shi came with him, and wanted to go together, and the monkey said: "If you go together, you should go and tell you first, stirring up, and he has lost his temper at every turn as if he had eaten gunpowder." You go and say it, I'm waiting for you here. β
"Since you say so, I'll go and say it. There is no reason why he should not allow it. After Wang Shi finished speaking, he walked into the Juyi Hall, and saw the-stirring stick discussing with the, and clasped his fists and saluted, "I have been stuffy in the village for a long time, and today I saw the fine monkey going to Lutangba to listen to the news, so I just walked with him and learned some skills." I came to tell my brother. I don't know what my brother thinks. β
The-stirring stick listened, glanced at the, and the said: "It's okay for the third brother to go for a walk together, the two of them also have a companion together, and there is just an aid when something happens." β
Seeing that the had no objections, the-stirring stick couldn't say anything: "You and the monkey should be more careful all the way, and be cautious in everything." Go early and come back early. β
Wang Shibai said goodbye, and the two of them went to Lijiagou, at this time it was August when the weather went to Lijiagou, it was already the time of the card, the scorching sun baked the earth hot, the two of them walked thirsty, just not far from the roadside is an orchard, in which pears are hung all over the treetops. Wang Shi said: "Look, there is a big pear grove over there, go pick a few to quench your thirst." β
The thin monkey said: "Don't pick more, just pick two is enough, so as not to be beaten as a thief." β
Wang Shi said as he walked towards the pear grove: "What's the big deal about eating two pears." β
I walked into the pear grove, picked a pear in the shade of the tree, rubbed it on my clothes, and took a bite of it with my mouth, which was really delicious and juicy. It really quenched his thirst, and he went to the direct sunlight outside the branch and leaf to pick a pear that was very hot in the sun. Walking back, he handed the hot pear to the monkey, "Look how big this pear is," the monkey took it and took a bite happily, it was delicious, and said: "It's delicious, it's just that it's hot in the sun." β
Wang Shi's family also used to have a pear tree, and when his father was there, every time he picked pears, he said that he couldn't eat hot pears, because if he ate hot pears, he would have diarrhea. The pears must be left cold before they can be eaten. Just now, Wang Shi deliberately picked a hot pear for the fine monkey.
After the two of them ate pears, the thin monkey urged: "Hurry up, there are still more than ten miles to go, and go to Lutangba at noon to enter the restaurant." As he spoke, he dragged his steps and walked forward, and the two walked along the road until they reached the intersection of Lutangba, and saw four villagers holding spears in their hands, sitting in the shed next to the roadcard to enjoy the coolness. A few of them were young people who didn't know each other, and when they saw Wang Shi and the monkey walking to the roadblock, the two villagers came over and asked, "What are you doing?" β
The thin monkey said with a smile on his face: "We are the villagers of Lijiagou, and we go to the market on the street, and this is my brother next to us." β
Xiang Yong, who had a pair of attractive ears, looked at him for a while: "Look at the two of you, one is white and handsome, the other is black and thin, and you don't look like two brothers." β
Wang Shi said: "I look like my mother, and he looks like my father, so he doesn't look the same." β
A tall, thin man sitting under the pergola said, "So much nonsense, you two went over to search for whether they brought a guy with them." Let them go without taking the guys. β
The two townsmen came over and touched Wang Shi and the fine monkey all over the body. The thin monkey covered his crotch with his hand and said, "Where are you going?" β
Sou Shen Xiangyong complained a few words, opened the wooden fence, let Wang Shi and the fine monkey pass, and couldn't help but take a few more glances when he passed by the front of the house, and there was already a lot of spider silk in front of the door. Wang Shi saw that the door of Aunt Li's house was open, but he didn't see anyone, so he guessed that he would take a nap in the house. The two of them came all the way to the street, walked past a few merchants, and saw a wine curtain picked out in front of them, Wang Shi pointed his finger and said: "You see there is a restaurant in front of us, we went in to drink two taels, just had lunch, and we were hungry with our chests on our backs." β
The fine monkey and Wang Shi walked into the hotel quickly, and when they entered the door, they picked a new table and sat down, and the bartender immediately came over and greeted, "You two have something to eat." β
Wang Shi was ordering food, and the thin monkey raised his hand: "Just two bowls of wontons." Mine is going to put more chili peppers. β
The shopkeeper agreed and went into the back kitchen.
Wang Shi complained in a low voice: "You TM finally eat wontons once you enter the restaurant? Come and drink two or two. β
The monkey whispered, "We can't eat and drink, otherwise we won't be like farmers." will attract the attention of others. β
Wang Shi thought to himself, this monkey is really thoughtful, and said with a secret smile, it is estimated that after eating hot pears, it should be a seizure in such two hours, and just thinking about it, the shopkeeper brought two bowls of wontons. The thin monkey picked up the chopsticks and ate it, just finished eating a bowl of wontons, sat on the bench and looked at Wang Shi, Wang Shi chewed slowly and slowly.
At this time, the thin monkey felt that the river and the sea began to tumble in his stomach. Bang, blah, blah, blah. "It's not good to have diarrhea". The monkey got up and walked to the counter: "Boss, where is the toilet, hurry! I can't hold it anymore." β
The shopkeeper smiled, turned left from the gate, walked straight ahead for a few battles, and saw a small room covered with thatch.
After hearing this, the little monkey ran out of the door, Wang Shi walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper: "Lend me the banknotes," there are paper and pens on the counter of the store, ready-made, and the shopkeeper handed the pen to Wang Shi: "You can use it." β
Wang Shi quickly wrote a few lines, folded it, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "You quickly ask someone to hand over this letter to the village chief Shi Qing, the matter is very important." Don't make a mistake. β
The shopkeeper looked at Wang Shi with a mysterious look and asked, "Who are you?" The village chief asked me who sent the letter, and I said it. β
"You just said that Wang Shi asked you to send it, and he understood. β
He handed the letter to the shopkeeper, returned to the table and ate a few leftover wontons, and settled the bill, when the monkey walked to the door of the store with his stomach in his hands. Wang Shi got up and came out of the store and asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
"I don't know what I ate, I broke my stomach and couldn't lift my feet. β
The two walked back slowly, and the thin monkey wanted to go around the street, but was urged by Wang Shi: "You must have diarrhea from this summer heat, let's go back to the cottage quickly." There's not much more to see. β
As soon as the thin monkey had an uncomfortable stomach, he didn't bother to look at it, so he walked back slowly with Wang Shi, and pulled on the side of the road several times along the way. Walking to Lijiagou really can't walk, it is the time of Shenpai, the fine monkey said: "I really can't walk, the sun is big, rest in the shade by the stream, wait until the sun goes down and walk." β
Wang Shi looked up at the sky: "It's okay, it's the time of Shenpai, and the sun will go down in an hour." The sun is too scorching. β
The two went down to the roadside stream and washed their faces with the stream water, where the sun was blocked by the rocks, and there was a big stone next to them, and the two of them lay on the stones to enjoy the coolness.
The shopkeeper saw Wang Shi go from the store, called Xiao Er, and personally sent the letter to Shi Qing's house, Shi Qing asked who wrote it, and the shopkeeper said that Wang Shi wrote it. When opening the letter, the Lion Rock bandits discussed that in the near future, they will take a boat from the direction of Lijiagou and attack the dock, be sure to be on strict alert, and the younger Wang Shi will worship!
Shi Qing read the book and called the merchants in the village and Mr. Zhao, a private school, to his home to discuss the matter together.
Shi Qing said: "According to Wang Shixin, if the bandits come from the waterway, we will not be prepared at all, according to your intentions, how to resist the enemy!"
A thin merchant said: "In the past, bandits always came from the west end of the village, and we took a boat from the pier, but now if the bandits suddenly come up from the pier, it will be too late to run." β
Wearing a white satin robe and holding a large paper fan in his hand, the merchant surnamed Zhao said: "This-stirring stick has always been rampant in the township, why don't we fight him and let him come and go." Is there still a royal law? β
A round-headed fat man next to him said: "Zhao Wanshan, you don't feel a backache when you stand and talk, stirring up, come to you, I'll see how you resist the enemy." The son of the rich man Zhao of Li Jiagou, holding a musket in his hand, was split in half by him with a knife. Who would dare to resist. β
"According to what you say, then we will be caught and let him rob it?" Zhao Wanshan did not show weakness.
Shi Qing pressed down with his hand and said, "Don't make any noise, we are here to discuss countermeasures, and it is useless for you to be so noisy." β
At this time, Mr. Zhao, a private school, said: "The old man has a plan, I don't know if it can be done." β
And they all said, "Tell me and listen." β
Mr. Zhao said: "Since Wang Shi came to the book, saying that the bandits will attack from the waterway in the near future, but did not say the specific time, why should we immediately put up more hemp nets in the river, if the bandits come by boat from the upstream, they can also block it for a while, and increase the manpower on the watchtower, once the bandits' ships are found, prepare as soon as possible, we will prepare more bows and crossbows on the dock, build muskets, and gather the young and middle-aged people in the village to train, and when the bandits come to attack, try to use bows and crossbows and muskets, and do not fight with them in close combat." β
Shi Qing said: "Sir, these things are the Tao, train the villagers and command the battle, and these things will be fully managed by Mr. Zhao." What do you think? β
Everyone agreed. Since then, Mr. Zhao has set out to make up his mind. Every day he was busy supervising the construction of bows and crossbows and muskets, and he was covered with hemp nets all over the river.
Wang Shi and the fine monkey waited until the sun went down before turning over from the stone, from the Lijiagou path all the way up the mountain, walked more than ten miles of mountain road back to the cottage when the sky was already dark, just entered the village gate, the was patrolling, saw that it was Wang Shi and the fine monkey, said: "Third brother, hard work, you are going well this time." β
The thin monkey said: "Don't mention it, I pulled me all the way, and I don't know what I eated." Now I can't lift my feet. The monkey said and went to the dormitory.
"When is Big Brother going to Lutangba?"
"I'm waiting for your news, I'm deliberating. You're also tired, go back early to rest, and talk to the Hall tomorrow. The clenched his fists and went off to look elsewhere.
Wang Shi felt hungry, so he walked to the kitchen and knocked on the door, Wang Niu'er just fell asleep and said impatiently: "TM Lao Tzu just fell asleep, who will knock what." β
"It's me, Brother Zhang Ying, who just came back, and I was hungry, so I came in and found something to eat. β
Wang Niu'er had to get up and open the door, Wang Shi came in, saw that there was still some porridge in the pot, scooped a bowl, and looked for some leftovers from the evening. After eating two bowls, he came out of the kitchen, went straight to the bedroom, passed by the door of the-stirring stick, the door of the-stirring stick was wide open, and he was sitting on a chair inside drinking, and when he saw Wang Shi coming, he shouted, "Third brother, come in and have two drinks." β
Wang Shi stepped in, the dog baby dragged a wooden stool and put it on the right hand side of the stirring stick, Wang Shi sat down, the dog baby came up to pour wine, and drank three bowls of stirring stick, Wang Shi said: "The little brother is not strong enough to drink, he is a little drunk, and he can't drink anymore." β
"You can't do it, you only drank these two bowls and got drunk, and the amount of alcohol is practiced. I'm going to have to give you a good amount of work. The-stirring stick only cared about persuading the wine, drank a few more bowls, and the-stirring stick asked, "How is the situation of going to the Green Hall Dam this time?" Whether the river is defended or not. β
"When we went this time, we didn't see that the river was defended, but there was still a long way from Lijiagou to the river, and there was no wharf near Lijiagou, so where could we get a boat. β
The-stirring stick laughed when he heard it: "Brother Xian, don't you know that there are a lot of bamboos growing along the Lijiagou River, and when the time comes, we will cut the bamboo and tie the bamboo rafts, so we can sit on the bamboo rafts and go down the river." β
Wang Shi listened to the calculation in his heart that the original-stirring stick had made. Pushing that he was drunk and wanted to go back to the room to rest, he came out of the house, staggered a little, and saw Wang Shi walking like a snake, so he couldn't help laughing, and let the dog baby help him go back.
Zhang Chengfu was already asleep when he entered the door, the dog knocked on the door, Zhang Chengfu got up and opened the door, and smelled the smell of wine on Wang Shi's body: "Drink so much wine, be careful to get drunk." As he spoke, he took it and helped Wang Shi to the bed and lay down. "Okay, for the sake of seeing you're drunk tonight, let you sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor," and then went and brought the mat and spread it on the floor. Bolt the door and lie down on the mat and fall asleep. Sleeping in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt something cold on my legs, and when I reached out to touch it, it seemed to be the thickness of a wine glass. Zhang Chengfu got up with sleepy eyes and looked at it, it turned out to be a big snake, biting on the thigh, Zhang Chengfu screamed, threw the snake on the ground, picked up the broom next to him and beat it indiscriminately, Wang Shi heard the cry and sat up from the bed and saw Zhang Chengfu beat the snake to death, looking at the two blood marks on his legs.
Wang Shi hurriedly treated the wound, but fortunately, the herbs he picked last time in Mopanshan were not used up, so he brought them to him to dress.
"Why am I so unlucky!" Zhang Chengfu said with a sad face
It turned out that Wu Ren didn't plot against Wang Shi last time, but he plotted against Zhang Chengfu, and he knew it since this incident, Wang Shi didn't sleep in bed, just now in the martial arts hall I saw Wang Shi coming out of the-stirring stick house to sleep, so he took out a snake in a bamboo tube and put it in from under the crack in the door of Wang Shi's door, the snake climbed on Zhang Chengfu's leg as soon as he came in from the crack in the door, he grabbed it with his hand, and was bitten by the snake.
Wu Ren walked back after letting go of the snake, and just happened to bump into Wang Niu'er who went to the toilet. The next morning, Wang Shi went to the kitchen and talked about Zhang Chengfu sleeping on the ground and being bitten by a snake last night. Wang Niu'er said: "No wonder last night, I went to the toilet and met Wu Ren coming from your door. β
It turned out to be Wu Ren again, and Wang Shi made up his mind that he must get rid of him first, otherwise he might be plotted by him that day. It's just that there is no plan for a while. The first two times it was the doghead who saved him. Now the dog head is finally dead.
More than ten days have passed, and it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is hot and dry, and one person must be arranged to carry water in the kitchen every day, and it is Wu Ren's turn on this day. Wu Ren first went out to pick up the first water and poured it into the water tank, and then carried the bucket to the well, Wang Shi also carried a bucket from the kitchen, came out of the walled door, and followed Wu Ren. I saw the well. Wu Ren turned around and saw Wang Shi following. He put the bucket down from his shoulder and said, "What do you mean?" β
Wang Shi walked in front of him and put the bucket on the ground and said, "You have plotted against me several times, why are the two of you going to make a break today!"
