9. Xiangyang meets Shuzhen

Xiangyang City is located in the throat of the Han River, a place where merchants from the north and south gather, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

Du Buyi, who had arrived in the city for a night, saw the prosperity of the city and couldn't wait to come to the streets to wander.

Zhu Sanmei suddenly spoke:

"Second brother, look at the drum tower, there are people on the stage, and many people are watching there, and we will go over to take a look."

After speaking, he pulled a few people and squeezed in.

At this time, a naked young man stood in front of his chest with a one-and-a-half-foot long sword in both hands, and behind him stood a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl dressed in cloth clothes and an old man over sixty years old.

Among them, a one-and-a-half-foot long sword was raised in his hand, and then he said to the people in the audience:

"Do the villagers want to see the sword swallowed in their mouths?"

The people below began to talk about it.

The young man continued:

"Everyone wants to see it, and I hope that with a lot of support, Xiaosheng is about to start performing, and everyone is optimistic. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he tilted his head directly to the sky, opened his big mouth, and began to slowly stuff the sword inside. The audience was terrified at this time, and there were more and more onlookers.

Zhu Sanmei was also shocked, so she asked a few people:

"Is there still a life for him to put the sword in like this?"

The Taoist replied naturally:

"Of course, you can just watch it."

At this time, the young man on the stage had put all the long swords into his body, then closed his mouth, patted his chest with one hand, and showed everyone that he was still alive. The people in the audience were naturally stunned at this time, and after a while, the young man slowly took out the long sword in his mouth and said to the crowd in the audience:

"I'm sorry to trouble everyone, I hope you will support me a lot."

When the young man finished speaking, the cloth-clothed girl behind him took an iron basin and put it on the side of the table, and people began to throw silver and copper plates into the iron basin. The girl in cloth came to the stage to take a look, although she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her appearance was very delicate, her figure was even, and she had a pure temperament.

At this time, the young man saw that there were not many villagers who invested money, so he put down the long sword in his hand, picked up an iron ball with a diameter of about eight inches on the side, and then said to the audience:

"I have a more powerful stunt, swallowing iron balls, do you want to see it." After speaking, he held up the iron ball with his hand, prepared to swallow it, and watched the expressions of the crowd in the audience.

The crowd in the audience was already crowded at this time, and passers-by basically stopped here and watched the stage incredibly.

Du Buyi, who was in the audience, asked the Taoist chief at this time:

"Dao Chief, what do you think of this iron swallowing ball."

The Taoist chief replied calmly:

"You guys read it carefully first, and I'll show you when he's done."

I don't forget that I know that I am old, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable, so I naturally ask for a long time.

At this time, the young man on the stage began to slowly stuff the iron ball into his mouth, and then slowly pressed down with his hand on his throat, and after a while, it was pressed to the middle of his chest, and then let go of his hand, and a large semicircle bulge in his chest was displayed in front of people's eyes.

The crowd of onlookers in the audience began to applaud at this time, and more and more people began to throw broken silver and copper plates into the basin, and the young man slowly took out the iron ball with his hands, and the coins in the iron basin in the hands of the girl in cloth were piled up. The girl in the cloth was too heavy to hold it for a long time, and the young man hurried over to help.

At this time, a shirtless, sturdy young man jumped onto the stage, followed by two tall young men. The young man and the girl in cloth were overwhelmed, and their hands slid open the iron basin, and the iron basin was instantly stepped on by the tiger-headed young man on the ground, and the broken silver and copper plates were splashed everywhere.

The young man immediately said with an angry face:

"I don't know who Your Excellency is, Xiaosheng and a few people have never offended you when they first arrived in your place, why are you so bad for my property."

The tiger-headed young man immediately said proudly:

"Do you know who I am, dare to ruin my store business in my territory, if you are obedient, you will apologize obediently, and then I will confiscate the money and leave quickly, otherwise you will look good."

After speaking, he ordered his two subordinates to start picking up the broken silver on the ground, and the young man was naturally not convinced, so he stepped forward to compete with the tiger-headed young man for the iron basin.

The tiger-headed young man called back the two helpers who were picking up coins, and the three of them directly started with the young man, and the young man was ** general, naturally he was defeated by the three, and after a while, he was pressed to the ground by the three and beaten up. The girl in cloth and the old man behind them all came to help the young man at this time, maybe the tiger-headed young man and his subordinates saw that the girl in cloth looked like a beautiful woman, and they couldn't bear to start, so they only pushed him aside, but they were cruel to the old man.

Du Cheng in the audience couldn't help it, and was about to come on stage to help, but was stopped by the Taoist chief.

After the three tiger-headed young men beat up the young men for a while, they were also tired, so they picked up the money on the ground with the two of their subordinates and left. Seeing the bloody scene of the fight, the crowd in the audience hurriedly fled from here. There are only four people left in the audience.

At this time, the four of them walked up to the stage, the girl in cloth squatted beside the old man and cried, the old man's face was full of injuries at this time, and he was in pain, and the young man next to him was unconscious. The four of them helped the old man and the young man to the place where the three of them had settled.

A dilapidated small tiled house, with a living room and a small room inside, except for the middle of the room, three small beds occupy the whole room.

The four of them helped the old man and the young man to lie on the two beds between them.

At this time, the young man had gradually awakened, and when he saw everyone, he naturally knew the reason, and slowly said words of thanks.

After the old man on the side lay down, he slowly became weak to speak, and only listened to one sentence:

"Granddaughter, grandpa I, I, I may support, support, no, no, live, in the future, you, you, you want, live well with your cousin, grandpa, I can, may not be able to accompany you. After speaking, his head tilted and he was out of breath.

The cry of the cloth-clothed girl became more and more intense at this time, and the young man on the side also shed tears in pain.

The girl in cloth stood up at this time and said to her grandfather's corpse:

"I must kill the tiger-headed bully who hurt you today and avenge you."

At this time, Du Yi asked the Taoist chief with a little resentment:

"If you hadn't pulled me just now, this old man wouldn't have died." Then kneel beside the dead old man and begin to repent.

Seeing this, the Taoist chief said:

"I don't let you go is also a last resort, we have just arrived here, we are not familiar with the place, and we are chased and killed by gangsters, how can we expose ourselves at will."

The Taoist then continued:

"I didn't know that this senior's body would be so unbearable to be punched by a few people."

The girl in the cloth replied:

"My grandfather often had chest tightness and shortness of breath before he died, how could he withstand this beating." After saying that, he began to howl and cry again.

The Taoist chief said to the cloth-clothed girl:

"You don't have to be too sad, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, the old donor, we will definitely seek justice for you, the most important thing now is to come to the scene for the old donor first, and the poor road can be presided."

The girl in the cloth wiped her tears and returned:

"Thank you to the Taoist and a few, I will find a way to avenge my grandfather's revenge, and you are willing to help me and my cousin are grateful." After speaking, he looked at the young man lying on the side of the bed, who was also crying.

As the Taoist chief finished the ritual for the old man and sent the old man into the earth, at this time, everyone else was in front of the old man's grave, but only Du Yifu's figure was missing.
