After Wang Xiaoer came out of the Xinyi Searching Firm, he was a lot more determined, but I am doing things sincerely for the third brother, that is not blowing, spending tens of thousands of taels of silver without even frowning, righteous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He confessed to Deng Caibao, if someone from the Xinyi Seeking Firm comes to him, you will be fully responsible, if there is really an emergency, send the shopkeeper to find me, Deng Caibao said: "Yes, the shopkeeper." ”

Since the opening of the Shunfeng Inn, it has been more than two months, Wang Xiaoer is a fine and clever character, the first two months, during the opening of the inn, no matter how big or small, he is all his own hands, from the beginning of learning experience from peers, to the employment of shopkeepers, the purchase of sundries, the adjustment of personnel arrangements, to the payment of income in money, all hands-on, working hours more than ten hours a day, tired is tired, every night, counting silver coins and copper plates, what hard work will be swept away. In the final analysis, Wang Xiaoer is a master who loves money very much, and besides, I have never seen anyone in the world shake their heads and disgust when they see money.

After two months, as soon as the freshness passed, he felt bored.

As soon as the door was opened, he bowed and greeted the guests: "Hello sir, stay in the hotel, please, Shunfeng Inn, clean and safe, cheap and good, high-end enjoyment, low-grade consumption, first-class service, the guest rooms are divided into three classes, rich and thrifty by people, listen to the respect, if you stay for a few more days, the house price will give you a 20% discount." Or "Mr., go, good go, I wish Mr. a smooth journey, come back next time, say hello in advance, you can leave you a satisfactory room, how about the service of this inn, please give more valuable advice, the service is good, please tell your friends, the service is not good, please tell me, the next time to manage the insurance to make you satisfied." "It's boring to say these uninspired words all day long, it's really boring. If it weren't for the money, he really wouldn't want to do it.

He wanted to find someone to take care of the chores, the boss had to be like a boss, how could it be harder than a part-time worker, wasn't that looking for death! At this time, he found that Deng Caibao in the accounting room was more capable than himself, and the accounting room was not only better than his own calculations, but also crackling with an abacus, beating thieves, accurate to the extent that it was unpleasant, and there were many ideas, such as the management of the stables, the management of the guest rooms, and the daily management of the shopkeepers.

The inn is handed over to him to manage, and he will have peace of mind. Boss, as long as you manage the money, count the money until you get cramps, but you won't get tired, it's really weird. As long as you settle the bill every night, your hands are spread, your pulse is up, and you can ask for money from the account room, how can you do everything, the first two months, mainly to familiarize yourself with the business, now that you are familiar, no one wants to be confused about me, what do you care, and then you will be stupid. Now, I am not called Xiao Er, I am called the famous Chen Jiashan, I am the boss of Shunfeng Inn, the boss of more than a dozen guys, although I can't say that he is rich and expensive, he is also a character, he has to come out with a shelf, but he can't be confused.

So, he started the idea of Deng Caibao, the account office. He pretended to be looking at the account book, but secretly looked at the account room:

Deng Caibao is in charge of settling accounts, with his head down, white skin, slightly long face, thin lips, a resolute chin, a pair of bright eyes, his hands are slender and fair, the fingers that pluck the abacus beads are fast and dexterous, slightly longer, wearing a green shirt, black cloth shoes, is a very elegant character. If you want to be entrusted with an important task, you have to find out the origin. He put down the ledger and tried to ask, "Mr. Deng, are you from Nanjing?"

Deng Caibao still played his calculations and said, "No, I'm from Zhenjiang." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "Okay, the White Lady floods Jinshan Temple, it's a famous place, is Jinshan Temple fun?"

"It's okay, Jinshan Temple is on the Yangtze River, the waves are magnificent, the sails are dotted, and the scenery is good. ”

"The first spring in the world is in Jinshan, it is said that the spring water is very delicious, the first in the world. ”

Deng Caibao snorted and said: "That spring water is a little sweet, famous, if you really want to make tea and drink it, you can drink it famously, and you really can't drink it." ”

"Home in Zhenjiang?"

Deng Caibao was still crackling, bowed his head to hit his abacus, and said, "Yes, it's not far from the first spring in the world." ”

"Are you alone in Nanjing?"

"Yes. ”

"Why don't you move your family to Nanjing? ”

Deng Caibao raised his head and said: "My parents are still there, they can't leave their homeland, they plant a few acres of thin land, they can't get used to the life of a big city, and they don't want to move to Nanjing. Fortunately, it is not far from Nanjing, so you can go home from time to time to see. ”

"Mr. Deng is really a filial son. ”

"The boss made fun of it, Xiaozhen can't talk about it, it's so-so. Deng Caibao smiled a little reservedly, no matter how you look at it, he is a person who follows the rules.

Wang Xiaoer said: "How long have you been in the accounting room?"

"Ten years. ”

"Before, I also worked as an account clerk in the inn?"

"Yes, boss. ”

"No wonder, the accounts are calculated quickly and accurately, and the inn is familiar with the way. ”

Deng Caibao smiled embarrassedly and said, "The boss praised it, so it's average." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "I want to give you some weight." ”

"What weight?" Deng Caibao was a little nervous, raised his head, and looked at Wang Xiaoer with anxiety.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that when I have something to go out, you just give it a look, you have the final say in the inn, of course, Luo, I won't treat you badly, and I will give you double your salary. ”

Deng Caibao said: "Thank you for the trust of the boss, I'm afraid that it won't be managed well." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "Hey, you're welcome, your level, I have a number, stronger than me, much stronger." ”

Deng Caibao said: "Boss, don't praise me, if you are really busy, then try it." ”

Wang Xiaoer slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, it's decided." ”

Immediately, Wang Xiaoer asked Deng Caibao to call his buddy Yahuan, and in front of everyone, announced his decision to appoint Deng Caibao as the second boss.

For the next ten days, Wang Xiaoer went out to play every day, even in the store, he didn't care, people came and went by Deng Caibao, and his cat read novels in the backyard's comfort nest, or, practiced his two life-saving tricks. The inside and outside of the inn are all run by Deng Caibao, every night, when checking out, except for a certain expenses, it is more than ten taels of silver than when he was in charge. Wang Xiaoer was overjoyed, and from then on, he didn't care about anything, and started to be the shopkeeper, only one thing, every night when he checked out, he asked Deng Caibao for the silver he earned on the cabinet that day.

That's called being the boss! After taking the money, I went to play, and I went to play and listen to the big play.

Sometimes, even the business income has to be asked for every two or three days. Deng Caibao said: "Boss, the cashier at the counter, you can take it every night, otherwise, it will be difficult to handle it if you lose it." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "I can't lose it, I don't worry about you doing things." ”

In fact, even if Deng Caibao worked so hard, Wang Xiaoer was still a little uneasy. He thinks that people will change, and being a good person now does not mean that they will not become bad people in the future, besides, no one looks at these two bosses, after a long time, they will be bold, don't use my brain, you have to guard against it. I'm always not in the inn, there must be someone to watch, the heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, he has to set up an eyeliner, so that he knows in his heart, don't suffer a big loss when the time comes, and the umbilicus is beyond reach.

Wang Xiaoer's eyeliner is a guy who picks up customers at the front desk, named Li Chenggong, a native of Nanjing, twenty-one or two years old, with a small white face, sharp teeth, and likable.

One day, Wang Xiaoer came back from the street with a basket of fruit in his hand, and Li Chenggong immediately greeted him and said, "Master, I'm back." Wang Xiaoer looked at him irrationally and said, "Hmm." He walked to the counter, took out a few apples and pears to Deng Caibao, and said, "Eat, the shopkeeper, fresh." ”

Deng Caibao said: "Boss, you can kill the villain, Lao Deng, Caibao, the bookkeeper, and Mr. Deng are all called, why do you also call me the 'shopkeeper', don't, don't, don't mind......" made Deng Caibao's face red.

Wang Xiaoer said: "Lao Deng, don't be polite to me, in fact, you are the shopkeeper, what is there to say." ”

Deng Caibao said: "Others can call it, but you can't call it." ”

Wang Xiaoer snorted and said to Li Chenggong: "Success, send me this basket of fruit to the backyard." ”

Li Chenggong said happily: "Okay." After taking the fruit from Wang Xiaoer's second-hand life, he walked to the backyard where Wang Xiaoer lived, Wang Xiaoer hummed a small tune and followed him.

Entering the backyard, Wang Xiaoer sat in the living room, Li Chenggong put the fruit basket on the table of the Eight Immortals, and said, "Master, if there is nothing to do, the villain is gone." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "Slow." ”

Li Chenggong said: "Oh, master, if you have something, just tell me." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "Bolt the courtyard door and come to me again." ”

Li Chenggong said: "Yes." ”

He wondered in his heart, what is the matter, it makes God babble. bolted the courtyard door, came to Wang Xiaoer, stood with his hands down, and listened to orders.

Wang Xiaoer pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Little Lizi, sit down." ”

Li Chenggong said: "Master, don't dare to sit down if you kill the villain." The lord has words, although he commands. ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "How much is your monthly salary?"

Li Chenggong said: "One tael or eight dollars of silver." ”

"Is the salary more or less than that of other inns?"

"That's right, eight more pieces of silver. ”

"Satisfied?"

"If you are satisfied, if you are not satisfied, you have no conscience. "I said in my heart, it's so-so, if any one can give more, Lao Tzu will leave immediately and come out to work, isn't it just to make money.

"Do you want to earn more silver?" asked Wang Xiaoer as he peeled an apple.

Li Chenggong smiled: "Tell me from the heart, master, who doesn't want to earn a few more?!"

Wang Xiaoer said: "I want to pick you to make a small fortune." ”

Li Chenggong said: "Really?"

"Give you a double paycheck. ”

"Master, you're making fun of the villain, the villain doesn't dare. ”

Wang Xiaoer put the peeled apple peel on the table, his face sank, and said, "Who is joking with you, it's a matter of the Twenty-Eight Classics." ”

Li Chenggong said: "As long as the villain can do it, master, you can say it all the time." ”

Wang Xiaoer laughed and said, "You secretly stare at Deng Caibao for me to see if he is loyal to me or a traitor, can this be done?"

"Keeping an eye on the bookkeeper?"

"Yes, see if he is doing anything to be sorry for me on his back on my back, and if he does, report to me in time. On the surface, you still have to listen to him, what he says you do, just report to me afterwards, and you don't need to be a villain. It's not that hard to do!"

Li Chenggong was overjoyed and said: "Okay, the lord likes me to promote me, if the villain doesn't do a good job, he won't be a person." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "However, what you report to me, you have to seek truth from facts, one is one, two is two, you must not make it up, and by the way, you also look at the guys in the inn, never wronged a good person, and never let go of a bad person, what do you say?"

"Okay, sir, that's too good. It's not the villain who blows, the villain does this kind of thing, and he is the most capable. ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "Well done, you have your own benefits." ”

Li Chenggong said: "The villain is the master's person from now on, wherever the master points to, the villain will hit wherever he goes, and he will never be ambiguous, he must frown, he was not born by his parents." ”

"Okay, on the surface, you have to be inconspicuous, and you are still a guy who picks up customers, like no one. ”

"Remembered. Master, the villain is gone?"

"Slow, take away this month's one or two or eight dollars of silver, this is eyeliner money. ”

"Master, the villain hasn't done anything yet, give it at the end of the month. ”

"You're welcome, I'm paying first, and then doing things. He took out the silver from his sleeve, snapped it, and placed it on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Li Chenggong's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Thank you, uncle, my grandfather." Simply, my little plum will recognize his father as his godfather. He took the silver into his bosom and said cheerfully.

Wang Xiaoer thought in his heart: Ha, this kid, Lao Tzu is only seventeen years old, but he has some fake beards on his face, he looks like he is in his thirties, and he is older than me when he accepts a godson, he is twenty-one or two years old, and this thing is reversed. Playful. He said, "Okay, it's a nice sound." ”

Li Chenggong said: "Dad." ”

"Hey, haha," Wang Xiaoer said with a smile: "However, the relationship between this godfather and son can be kept secret, everyone only knows that you are an ordinary guy in Shunfeng Inn, otherwise, who dares to tell the truth in front of you, son, in front of outsiders, you still have to call me the shopkeeper, dad, son, only call when there is no one in this backyard, remember no?!。 ”

"Dad, remember. Li Chenggong nodded again and again.

Wang Xiaoer's face was solemn, and he said: "Also, you have to do things well, be diligent, and you won't forget you if you have benefits." If you are treacherous and obedient, you will not be able to do things authentically, and you will not have your good fruit to eat. ”

"Yes, my son knows. After saying that, Li Chenggong said goodbye and left.

Wang Xiaoer looked at his back, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, thinking, Zhu Hongwu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is probably nothing more than that, this Shunfeng Inn is my world, no one should think about it, use my brain, and hit my little abacus.

From then on, he was relieved at the Shunfeng Inn.

＊＊＊

As soon as he got out of the chores of the inn, Wang Xiaoer not only rubbed hemp and puffed up girls to listen to big dramas, but also did serious things, that is, to learn martial arts. There is a gossip martial arts hall in Qixia Mountain, Nanjing, he paid a lot of money to learn Bagua palm and Bagua sword, learn the basic routines, and don't want to achieve much, just to learn to defend himself, like a martial artist, if the emperor Lao Tzu remembers Lao Tzu in the future, to catch Lao Tzu, when he escapes, it is also good to defend himself, plus the two most powerful moves he originally learned: "Zhong Kui Drawing Talisman" and "foolproof", where to go, meet a first-class role, Lao Tzu is not afraid. When others saw their Bagua palm and Bagua sword skills, they were still considered to be masters of Wudang, and they could fool around on the rivers and lakes for a while. Naturally, Ding Piaopeng taught him light skills, he didn't dare to lose it, he often practiced, although he couldn't fly the eaves and walk the wall, he could also walk as fast as flying, if he really couldn't beat it, Lao Tzu would run away, and those who had the ability would chase it, hum, in Brother Ding's words, I didn't think that your kid and Tianshan light skills really had a fate, and he learned well, in today's world, there are not many people who can catch up with you on the flat ground, and there will be no more than fifteen. Hey, I don't know if what Brother Ding said is true or false, this kid is talking freely, and he can't be sure.

Wang Xiaoer is timid and has a lot of ideas, he also bought a small courtyard next to Xuanwu Lake, empty, and there is a jar of silver and gold buried under the bluestone slab in the kitchen, just in case, if the situation changes, it can be used to flee and hide. This small courtyard, except for himself, no second person knows about it.

A wanted criminal, phew, Lao Tzu is not a criminal, it is all Qiao Wanquan's thief embryo, so that Lao Tzu is always like a frightened bird, a fish that slips through the net, there is no peace, so that Lao Tzu thinks in this life In addition to disguise, fake identity, lie and make up stories, and self-defense and escape techniques, other major things such as marrying a wife and having children, passing on the ancestry, and getting rich have been put aside, and it is really sad to think about it.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaoer is a natural optimist, and he can see everything, otherwise, maybe he will go to extremes, not to give up on himself and simply be a heinous demon, and come to a wicked person to grind the world, or because he is too tired to live, he wants to kill himself and simply cut himself off.

Wang Xiaoer doesn't do this kind of stupid thing, there is nothing better than living, besides, Lao Tzu is a boss now, life is okay, then step on the watermelon skin, slide to where it is, live a day is a day, live a day to earn a day, don't think too much, things in the world, do you think about it! You studied diligently and became a lifter, and you saw that you would be able to make a name for yourself when you entered Beijing to take the examination next year, but you did not expect that a serious illness was coming, and you could not afford to be sick from then on, and your dreams were in ashes; you wanted to give birth to a son so that you could pass on the family lineage, but unexpectedly gave birth to one after another, all of them were girls; you were bound to compete with each other, worked hard and thrifty, and finally made a fortune, but unexpectedly, a fire from heaven burned down, and you became a poor egg again; Qin Shi Huang, a tyrant, wanted to be the king of the world, but he did not expect that in 20 years, a dynasty would collapse. Think, think of a fart! Fei Na's brains are purely for nothing.

Wang Xiaoer believes that if a person like me wants to live well, he must have some ability, otherwise, he may be planted one day. In addition to learning Baguazhang and Baguajian, he practiced light skills and equestrianism. As long as it is not windy and rainy, Wang Xiaoer got up early in the morning, and staggered along the Qinhuai River, and when he arrived at the sparsely populated place in the suburbs, he would practice light skills according to the method and footwork taught by Ding Piaopeng, run up, and run until he reached the horse farm, where he fostered a horse called "Piaofeng", and then, riding the "Piaofeng" in the racecourse to run more than a dozen laps, running and equestrianism He is most willing to work hard to learn, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of falling, not afraid of pain, not afraid of turbulence, even the Mongolian riding instructor admires his more real strength. Wang Xiaoer understands that many times, the key to escape is speed, as long as you are fast enough, you will turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble.

No one knows this more than he does.

Coming out of the racecourse, he ran back along the embankment of the Qinhuai River, which is strange to say, according to Ding Piaopeng's method of spitting, running for one or twenty miles, he was not tired at all, and when he was running, he suddenly stopped, but his breathing stopped evenly, and he was not short of breath, and he didn't know when he would be tired. Tianshan light work, it's really fucking evil.

Wang Xiaoer goes out, always wears a sword, when running, he holds a sword in his left hand, people do not leave the sword, the sword does not leave the person, with the sword, there is courage. The sword is a good sword, it was ordered from Duan Mazi, a famous swordsmith in Nanjing City, it is tough and sharp, the cold is pressing, and it is very valuable. The scabbard is very old, the gray-brown crocodile skin scabbard, almost so old that it is about to crack, it looks a little inconspicuous, the person who wears this kind of sword looks poor, and life will not be too easy. It's not that he doesn't have the money to buy a good scabbard, inlaid with gold and gems, dazzling, and so angry in front of people, but he can't, people like him are afraid of being public, and he has to be a man with his tail between his legs, so when ordering a sword from Duan Mazi, he also explained the requirements for the shape of the scabbard clearly, he thought that Duan Mazi would not be able to figure it out, ask three questions and four questions, and nag endlessly, but Duan Mazi smiled and said an unexpected word: Green vegetables and radish, each has his own love. Duan Mazi has seen a lot, he is not surprised, he doesn't think so, there is not a trace of waves in his amber pupils.

After running along the embankment of the Qinhuai River for a while, to see that it was close to the city, slow down and paced into the city, or call a carriage and go to Qixia Mountain to learn Bagua Kung Fu. At noon, go to the restaurant to order two dishes and drink some wine. After finishing the lunch break, I went back to the store for a lunch break, and in the afternoon I went to mahjong or went to pick up girls or stayed in the store to read novels, and the small life was very moist.

Wang Xiaoer's life is very regular, as long as the weather is fine, he is allowed to practice light skills and equestrianism.

Running and running, he felt that his two legs were particularly energetic, according to the method of Tianshan Light Gong, his body was also lighter, and the bounce on his legs was so good that even he didn't believe in himself a little.

One day, he ran to a forest in the suburbs, and saw a squirrel on a tree, and there was a squirrel with his eyes looking at him, and the squirrel saw more people, not afraid of people, Wang Xiaoer stopped and looked at the squirrel, the squirrel seemed to be teasing him, jumped from a high place to a low fork, scratched his head and made a gesture, as if to say: Look at it, if you have the ability, come up and catch me. Wang Xiaoer felt that he might be able to jump up, so he took a breath, totoed, jumped into a jump, and went to catch the squirrel, how clever the squirrel was, and ran to the side, naturally escaped without a trace. Wang Xiaoer's jump, the squirrel was in the air, but the person flew up from the dense leaves, and rushed to the treetops, he was shocked, shouting for help, early in the morning, how could there be a trace in the woods, when the body fell down, he grabbed it with both hands, fortunately, hugged a branch, and the person swayed endlessly on the branch, so scared that his soul was gone.

After a while, he made up his mind, and climbed down the branches, and as he climbed, he thought, could it be that my light skills can now penetrate the ridge of the house? He climbed to more than half, sat on the fork of the tree and thought, at the beginning, he pestered Brother Ding to learn the light skill of flying eaves and walking on the wall, Brother Ding said that this kung fu should start from elementary school, people of my age want to learn light skills late, no, in the end, Ding Piaopeng could not stand the entanglement, so he said to himself: when leaping, you should use the Tianshan light power to lift the longitudinal ventilation method, a mention of the dantian true qi, a little hard work, you can get up; If you want to continue to go high and high, Zhou Tian ventilation method must be used very familiarly, the intention is pneumatic, the intention is to stop, practice to the extreme, it is really full of energy, send and receive freely, and naturally you can be like an ape, light and agile jump, come and go without a trace. But be careful, learn this kung fu, if you accidentally break your arm and break your leg, it's not me who scares you, if you really break it, it has nothing to do with me, I won't take care of you, it's you who have to learn it yourself, don't blame me for being unpredictable.

Brother Ding said every word about light work, Wang Xiaoer remembered it in his heart, and he didn't forget it at all, Brother Ding is the king of light work, what he said, every sentence is a golden rule, Xiao Er kept it in mind. Since Brother Ding said that he is old, he can't learn light skills, and he won't learn anymore, in fact, what is big, Lao Tzu is only seventeen years old, and not seventy years old, Brother Ding is talking as much as he nonsense! However, if he breaks his arm and broken his leg in order to practice flying eaves and walking on the wall, he can't even use the two most powerful sword moves, my Wang Xiaoer still has a way to live, once he recognizes Lao Tzu, he will die. It's still a point of equinox, let's run on the ground optically, don't practice the thing that goes high and high, and the eaves walk on the wall, the ground runs as fast as the wind, and those snapshots are like Lao Tzu. Unexpectedly, after practicing the Tianshan Light Gong Mental Method for four or five months, he only wanted to run faster when he escaped, but he inadvertently even learned the kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall by the way, if he didn't catch squirrels today, he wouldn't know it.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Xiaoer, who was sitting on the fork of the tree, was happy, he saw how high the place he was sitting on was from the ground? It was about seven or eight feet high, there were weeds growing on the ground, and he couldn't hurt anyone if he jumped down, so he wanted to practice the kung fu of landing, so he followed the essentials taught by Brother Ding, held the scabbard in his left hand, raised a mouthful of dantian true qi, and gently touched his feet on the fork of the tree, and the person floated down obliquely, and the landing was very stable, and he felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and he was silent.

Wang Xiaoer was overjoyed, so he walked into the woods, picked a tall camphor tree, and practiced light skills. From this day on, he often went to the suburbs of this forest to practice the ability to go high and high, low and low, Tianshan light gong heart method, is today's light power supreme heart method, Wang Xiaoer learned to be single-minded as soon as he got started, not to take detours, plus he saw the light gong body method, such as Ding Piaopeng, Brother Liu, are one of the best masters in today's rivers and lakes, their high and high style, really handsome and fast, you will not forget when you see it, recall the appearance of these masters when they perform light skills, they are really the best light skills to copy the model, now, Wang Xiaoer concentrates on taste, carefully figured out, draws gourds in the same way, practices light skills, and the progress is very fast, ten days later, he is on the big camphor tree, has been able to go up and down very freely, people are as light as swallows. However, the connoisseur scratched his head when he saw it, this light gong body method, sometimes it seems to be an authentic Tianshan light gong, sometimes it seems to be an authentic Kunlun light gong, Wang Xiaoer doesn't care, as long as Lao Tzu can fly freely, no matter what kind of mind he is, you don't understand, Lao Tzu told you, this is called Suzhou Wang Xiaoer's light gong body method, thinking of this, Wang Xiaoer is so happy that he dances and can't help himself.

At night, as long as it doesn't rain, a little starry and moony, sometimes Wang Xiaoer will also come to the suburbs and forests to practice light skills, one is to practice courage and eyesight, and the other is to practice light skills at night, day and night, after all, it is not the same thing, if you don't train, at night, you have to perform light skills, and then you will be blind, and it is difficult to escape the pursuit of fast catch. If you want to be caught for the rest of your life, you have to be a little unique, running on the ground, so that the surnamed Qiao is looking at the back and sighing, helpless;

A fugitive, all he thinks about all he wants is to escape, and the dark and filthy cell shuddered when he thought about it, hey, how good it is to live freely in the sun.

One night, a crescent moon, Wang Xiaoer was practicing light exercises in the woods, just jumped up to the treetops, and saw three figures swept into the forest one after another, he felt early, immediately crouched in the treetops, did not move, hid in the dense leaves, secretly surprised, could it be that Qiao Wanquan personally brought someone to catch himself? Hmph, then let's try a few of them, see if you can catch Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu Wang Xiaoer is not like Wang Xiaoer half a year ago, Leng Ding gave you a trick "Zhong Kui Draw Talisman" , It's best to be able to attract the enemy and send your kid to the west sky, he thought while his heart was pounding, and he watched with bated breath.

The winter night is cold, and the moonlight is like water.

I saw that under the big tree, two men, each black and short, holding weapons in their hands, had surrounded an old woman on the left and right.

One man was in his fifties with a scar on the left side of his face, with a fierce face and a single knife in his hand, while another man was in his thirties, with a bearded face and a tiger's waist, and a cooked copper rod in his hand. They were each dressed in black tights, and they surrounded a thin old woman, unrelenting.

The old woman was about fifty years old, her face was wrinkled, her figure was thin, and there was a tumor on her forehead, she was wearing a tight brown jacket, a pair of blue pants, a pair of black soft boots, her back was against a big camphor tree, her eyes were shining, she was not afraid, she held a sword in her hand, protecting the key points around her body, and waited intently.

The scarred man said: "Old woman, hum, what are you doing with the thief?"

The old woman said: "What are you doing with you? It's interesting to talk, it's because you are handsome, the old lady has taken a fancy to you!

The scarred man said: "Hmph, old thief, follow me from Yangzhou to Nanjing, you are a dead man, Lao Tzu wants to see what kind of ghost you want to do, and say, is it a spy sent by Qilianshan." ”

The old woman said: "Oh, what are you doing as a spy, can you eat as a meal?" To be honest, the old woman is a little bit of a problem with the sheep, seeing that you two are each carrying a bulging burden, heavy, there must be a lot of yellow and white things in it, I can't help but be a little moved, I just want to spend some money, where did this big brother think. What Qilian Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, that is something that can't be beaten with eight poles. The old woman doesn't understand you. ”

The scarred man said: "Let's talk in the house, you eavesdrop under the window, what do you want to hear? If you want to steal something, you have to wait until we turn off the lights and have a good time, then you can do it, your cat is eavesdropping under the window, it doesn't look like a thief, but it seems to have other plans." Tell me honestly, thief mother-in-law, what do you want to do?"

The old woman said: "I said, you don't believe it, it's useless to say it, Scarface, you can do it." ”

The man with the scar didn't give up, sneered, and said: "You can't rub the sand in your eyes, hmph, old woman, let your two lips quibble in every way, can you deceive Lao Tzu's fifth master, who is the fifth master, he is rolling out of the rivers and lakes, what head has never seen it, that pair of tricks is no worse than Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, if you don't tell the truth, you will let you die in this forest." ”

The old woman said: "Don't boast about Haikou first, it's hard to say who is dead and who is alive." ”

The fifth master of the scar man said to the burly man: "It seems that you are toasting and not eating, eating and drinking, Dalu, go up and give him a few sticks, so that the thief can taste it." ”

The bearded man obviously saw that he was a follower, and responded: "Yes, fifth master." "Carrying a cooked copper stick, going up is a trick "pantou cover top snowflake floating", splitting the head and covering the brain, hitting the other party, the stick shadows are one after another, whining and roaring, the old woman fell down, the body is dexterous, pierced from under the stick, the long sword shook, cut to the wrist of the big man, the big Han cooked copper stick turned into a pick, turned sharply, a style of "Yaksha to explore the sea", swept to the other party under the three roads, the old woman's feet a little, dodged the stick head, the body is in the air, the long sword is bright, a style "Biyuan Tengjiao" , brush, the tip of the sword picked up to the heart of the big man, the big man saw the opportunity quickly, a type of oolong over the river, the cooked copper stick even hit and eliminated, hit the sword head, swept to the other party's waist and crotch, the old woman cast a "sticky" word, the long sword pressed on the stick body, the true qi penetrated the sword body, and suddenly a strong force swept the cooked copper stick away from the foot, she took a step to the side, did not look, brush, the long sword slid from the stick to the big man's hands, if so, do not scatter the stick, the hands are gone, the big man "ahh A strange scream, busy throwing sticks with both hands, taking a step back, the old woman's sword moved with her, the sword shadow swept away, but wiped it on the neck of the big man, her sword was fierce, extremely fast, the big man was an iron plate bridge, finally escaped a sword on the neck, snorted, but the shoulder was cut by the tip of the sword A bloody mouth, and blood splashed all over the place.

Wang Xiaoer watched quietly with bated breath in the treetops, he really wanted to cheer for the old woman's kung fu, but how dare he, stop it, more things are better than less, do you still think that your things are not enough, people like me, it's good to be able to save your own life, I can't control those bad things on the rivers and lakes. Ah, Qi Lianshan, what's going on? I can't figure it out that it has something to do with Li Youzhong, just listen carefully, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I saw the fifth master laughing, grabbed a step, waved the knife to the old woman to attack three moves, his knife, the move is strange and ruthless, fast and unbeatable, I don't know what sect and faction, the old woman was forced to retreat, the fifth master of the scar said: "I also said that I am an ordinary old thief, your move and style, all from the Qilian faction's knife technique, the last sword, is the Qilian knife technique's masterpiece,' The Yellow River is far above the white clouds', it seems to be an understatement, no effort, in fact, the sword is as fast as the wind, and the proportion is subtle, how many Jianghu men have fallen under this trick, old woman, you can deceive others, can you also deceive my five masters of Changbai Mountain, by the way, you must be the Snow Lotus Fairy on Qilian Mountain, I heard that when I was young, I looked like a fairy, and my senior brother Qilian Sword God Qi had a leg, in the end, it was not you who married with the Sword God, but your compatriot little sister, who hated it in his life, isn't it! Could it be that you are here to avenge Qi Daye?!"

The fifth master of the scar was playing haha, talking about old things, but his hands were not idle at all, a knife was as tight as a knife, the knife was continuous, tricky and spicy, up and down, left and right, Snow Lotus Fairy Gu concentrated on the move, dodged, and killed a few moves from time to time, but obviously fell behind.

Wang Xiaoer lay on the treetops and sweated for her.

It seems that Snow Lotus Fairy Gu is a good person, don't look at her now that she is old, her face is full of wrinkles, lean and thin, judging from her figure, she must have been a devil when she was young, and Qi Lian's sword god Qi is really a great cause, since she has a leg, she can get married, look, what a good person, and now she is still seeking revenge from the enemy for the negative heart, if it were me, I wouldn't do it, since you don't love me, why should I do anything for you, even if you come to beg me, Lao Tzu won't do it, hum, I can't imagine that you still have a time to beg me, you can be ruthless, and I can too.

Wang Xiaoer was upset about the Snow Lotus Fairy Gu, where is this.

Dahan had already taken the opportunity to apply gold medicine to his shoulder, pasted a plaster, picked up a cooked copper stick, and joined the battle group.

Snow Lotus Fairy Gu was attacked left and right at this time, and it was thrilling to stack up from time to time, and if she continued to fight like this, it would not take a moment to have physiology.

Wang Xiaoer is in a hurry, and he can't help Snow Lotus Immortal Gu? It seems that Scar Lao Wu is one of the killers who killed the sword god Qi Daye, and he is also the opponent of the demon monk Li Youzhong, I have to go and help, give Snow Lotus Fairy Gu a good impression, find Li Youzhong, and fall on her. With my two sword moves, it is enough to make Snow Lotus Fairy Gu take the opportunity to run, and then, Lao Tzu will find a gap to slip away, if you really start to move, you can also mix two moves, and then, spread the rabbit's legs, and escape from the fuck. Rather than running, Brother Ding said, there will be no more than fifteen people in the world who can catch up with me, so let's try?

If Brother Ding is coaxing me, in fact, there are 150 people in the world who can catch up with me, what should I do?

No, no, your kid's guts have become rabbit guts, can you finish, just turn around and fight again, "Zhong Kui's drawing" move is good, you can pick the scar five masters with a sword, yes, be bold, Wang Xiaoer, the smaller the guts, the faster you die, when it's time to fight, you have to fight.

Besides, I am doing a good deed, saving people's lives, and winning the seventh-level floating slaughter, God will bless good people.

Wang Xiaoer was thinking like this, only to see that under the tree, the moonlight was like mercury, and the two sides of the fight could see it clearly. Scar Five Master to the Snow Lotus Fairy Gu three times in a row, the three knives are called: Qinglong Pan Ding, Sanniang Godson, meteor to catch the moon, respectively attack the Snow Lotus Fairy Gu's upper plate in the middle of the plate, one side of the big man's cooked copper stick of course is not idle, a type of withered vine roots, swept to the fairy Gu's foot and neck, Snow Lotus Fairy Gu moved to dodge, exhausted to cope, inevitably exposed an empty door, Scar Five Master looked at a square, grabbed a step, flew up a palm, slapped under the threat of Snow Lotus Fairy, Snow Lotus Fairy Gu screamed, people like flying kites, flew out of two zhang away, fell to the ground, mouth spurt blood, Scar Five Master only used seventy percent of true power on the palm, if it wasn't for Scar Five Master to ask her confession, this palm really vomited, Snow Lotus Fairy Gu An has a life.

The fifth master of Scar laughed, and walked towards the Snow Lotus Fairy Gu with the big man with a weapon, and said with a smile: "Snow Lotus Fairy Gu, let's say, who asked you to keep an eye on Lao Tzu, did the demon monk send you?"

Wang Xiaoer was taken aback, go down, if you don't go down, Snow Lotus Fairy Gu will die. He didn't have time to mutter, his toes lightly, flew down the tree, and as soon as his toes touched the ground, he choked, pulled out his long sword, blocked in front of the Snow Lotus Immortal Gu, and shouted to the fifth master of the scar: "Stop, if you take another step forward, Lao Tzu will not be polite." ”

The Fifth Master of Scar and the Han were stunned, and flashed to both sides, and the Fifth Master of Scar sighed: "What a handsome body style, it is the 'withered leaves drifting' of Tianshan Light Gong, right?"

Wang Xiaoerxue is indeed Ding Piaopeng's body style, and he doesn't know if it's "withered leaves drifting", seeing that the fifth master of the scar said this, he played the tone of the rivers and lakes, and said casually: "It seems that your tricks are really knowledgeable." ”

The fifth master of Scar exclaimed: "Are you the flying thief Ding Piaopeng?"

"Yes, yes. Wang Xiaoer suddenly had an idea, by the way, pretending to be Brother Ding, it was fun to scare and scare these two villains, he learned to speak in Brother Ding's tone, playing in an official tone, with a Hubei accent, the kind of sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, arrogant and uninhibited, firm and confident style is more than equal, his eyes are glaring, and he is full of light and prism.

The Fifth Master of Scar and the big man looked at each other, stunned for a while, and after a while, the Fifth Master of Scar snorted, was happy, and said: "Friend of Tianshan, what are you kidding, I remember, Ding Piaopeng has not been executed, you are not, you are at most Ding Piaopeng's fellow disciple, just a swordsman of Tianshan." ”

Wang Xiaoer snorted coldly and said, "Have you ever heard that the executed person was an impostor, a death row prisoner, Ding Piaopeng is still alive, alive and well, and he has not yet been born to catch Lao Tzu." ”

The fifth master of Scar and the big man looked at each other again, they were thinking whether they should have a fight with Ding Piaopeng, the flying thief Ding Piaopeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but now he is the only one in the forest, and the old woman has been injured, so there is no need to worry.

Wang Xiaoer picked up the Snow Lotus Fairy Gu and said in a low voice: "Fairy Gu, go quickly." ”

Snow Lotus Fairy Gu got up according to Wang Xiaoer, Wang Xiaoer only felt that she was fragrant, and thought to herself, she must have been a beautiful embryo when she was young. Snow Lotus Fairy Gu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, swallowed a pill of golden medicine, and said, "Thank you Ding Daxia, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, we will have a period later." She was blessed, turned and plunged into the dense forest, and disappeared in an instant.

The fifth master of Scar said: "The surname is Ding, you shouldn't take care of this matter." ”

"Lao Tzu is in charge, there is nothing that Lao Tzu does not dare to manage, the emperor's nephew is doing nonsense, Lao Tzu is also killed, what's the matter, can you manage it!"

The fifth master of Scar said: "Do you know that there is a killer gang on the rivers and lakes?"

"I've heard that I'm looking for him. ”

"None of the people who fought against the Killer Gang had a good outcome, and none of the people the Killers wanted to kill would be alive. More than 20 years ago, the first martial arts master Qi Lian Sword God Qi Daye died under the knife of the Killer Gang. ”

"What do you mean? Scare children! Joke, Ding Ye is not a big scare. Speaking of which, you're the fifth of the Killer Gang?"

"Exactly. ”

Wang Xiaoer thought that the Snow Lotus Fairy Gu had gone away, as the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and then the first move is to make a mistake, he shouted: "Lao Tzu is looking for you." The sword in his hand Leng Ding shot, brushed, Zhong Kui drew a talisman, and stabbed at the fifth master of the scar, that move, he has practiced it to the core, because he has practiced well, so it is particularly lethal, and it is only so much for the flying thief Ding Piaopeng.

A famous hero would make such a sneak attack, and he didn't believe it when he killed the fifth master of the scar, he quickly raised the knife to block the frame, retreated and dodged, but he slowed down, snorted, and the clothes on his shoulders were picked open, but he didn't hurt the flesh and skin, he was taken aback, his heart was pounding, ah, this flying thief, it's really a bit nerve-wracking, the matter has come to this, and only with him to fight hard, besides, if you want to run, he can't run away, the only way to live is to fight! The fifth master of the scar took a step back, shook the knife with a single knife, and the knife spent, protecting the key points around the body, and waiting for the momentum.

Dahan was also shocked, took a step back, shook his arms, the golden rooster nodded, the stick head trembled, and a stick flower covered Wang Xiaoer's body.

But unexpectedly, hey, Wang Xiaoer laughed, turned around and ran, Scar Lao Wu hadn't reacted yet, and the two of them looked at each other again, I didn't know what to do, I heard that this Ding Piaopeng is a person from Emperor Hu Tianhu, and there are a lot of ghost ideas, I don't know what to sell, don't get caught in him.

Once he ran into the forest, Wang Xiaoer launched the light gong method, the light skill of the fifth master of the scar and the big man was indeed inferior to Wang Xiaoer, and there was no problem for Wang Xiaoer to get out. Things are really unfortunate, Wang Xiaoer ran out of two zhang away, after all, he was too panicked, he didn't pay attention under his feet, and stumbled on a stone, ah yo mom, he screamed, fell out, was in the air, even changed two body methods, or planted on the ground, a bone from the ground, according to the style of the Tai Chi sword, a style of "fairy aunt clothes", protect the body to acupoints, look at it, scar five masters and the big man have been left and right, blocking his way, if you want to run again, it seems that it is not easy.

If it weren't for the prestige of the flying thief, Wang Xiaoer's life would have been gone.

The fifth master of Scar pondered: Is this person Ding Piaopeng? Isn't Ding Piaopeng so bold! I have never heard that Ding Piaopeng will run away after a little fight, at the Beijing Moon Palace Hot Spring Inn, Ding Piaopeng escaped after a bloody battle with five first-class masters such as the iron-faced god Qiao Wanquan, and he escaped in his life: Now, there are only two of us, besides, we haven't made any moves, why did he run away? In the air, there are two body styles, one is the willow wave piercing the warbler, and the other is the snow-capped mountain flying fox, which is the authentic Tianshan light martial arts body method, but when it falls, it is a solid mouth gnawing mud, not like it is pretended. The sword that attacked me just now was unexpected, sharp and tricky, it was the style of the Tianshan Sword Sect, but when this kid got up from the ground, he used gossip swordsmanship, and the "fairy aunt flirting clothes" also made it very jerky, like a beginner swordsman, what is going on? The bearded man just looked at his master, and didn't dare to make a decisive move.

It seems that it is not good for a person to know too much, and sometimes he will lose his opinion.

The fifth master of Scar said: "Brother Ding, why are you running so fast?"

Wang Xiaoer's face turned white, and he said stiffly: "Lao Tzu suddenly remembered that there was something urgent to do, what's the matter, no, don't you want Lao Tzu to ask you for leave?"

The fifth master said: "I don't need to ask for leave, I should always say hello, I haven't heard of the swordsmen of the Tianshan faction who don't even understand the rules." ”

Wang Xiaoer kept comforting himself in his heart: Xiao Er, Xiao Er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you still have a trick taught by Liu Sange "foolproof", you can still mix for a while, this time you have to be careful, as soon as you have the opportunity, you will run, when you run, you have to be careful, don't plant a fight, this fight can not be planted, you will die if you plant it, and there will be no physiology. He complained to himself again, teach you to manage yourself, just don't listen, now you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect yourself, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are not so easy to be, if you are not careful, your life will be gone, he really wants to cry, but he said: "You know, the Tianshan Mountains are far away from the border pass, and there are few contacts with the Central Plains, and the swordsmen of the Tianshan Mountains have always disagreed with the red tape of the Central Plains." Lao Tzu advocates freedom to come and go, and act recklessly, which is like you, there are so many unclear stereotypes and bad habits, and they are dead and rounded. As he spoke, he turned sideways to leave.

The fifth master of Scar threw a look at the big man, and shouted violently: "Look at the move." The two of them attacked Wang Xiaoer almost at the same time, the big Han stick shadow together, a style of "wind swing lotus leaf", the stick drew an arc, swept towards Wang Xiaoer's waist, the fifth master of the scar did not dare to be sloppy, as soon as he shot is the most proud masterpiece of his life "Golden Knife Splitting the Wind", the knife shadow floated, straight to Wang Xiaoer's neck.

Wang Xiaoer had already prepared in his heart, with a long sword, and a few steps under his feet, a style of "foolproof", so that he was full of energy, and gently swung the knife and stick to the side, lifting the weight as if it were light, and the moves were round.

The fifth master of Scar is an expert in martial arts, this move is obviously the sword style of the Kunlun swordsman, what, this kid is not the ever-changing third brother Liu? Even if it is not the third brother Liu, it must be his fellow brother, the fifth master of the scar was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out, he and the big man each took a few steps back, and said, "You, you, who are you?"

Wang Xiaoer was bold and said, "Who is the master? I want to go! The master is in a hurry, so he won't play." ”

After speaking, a little under his feet, a green cloud swept into the air, and in the air, there was a koi inverted through the waves, submerged into the dense forest.

The big man wanted to chase, and the fifth master of Scar said: "Don't chase, fortunately he has something, otherwise, we will die." ”

＊＊＊

Since then, Wang Xiaoer's courage has been great, he knows that his light skills are really powerful, and what Brother Ding said at the beginning is the truth, not coaxing himself. When he got home, he found that there was something missing, the Hetian Ruyi jade pendant hanging on the waist was gone, about the time of planting and fighting was lost, the jade pendant was a little expensive, it cost three taels of silver, some pity, but I didn't care, one day I went to buy one to hang on, I heard that Hetian jade can turn evil into auspiciousness, and it seems to be an auspicious thing.

Through this escape practice, he practiced the Tianshan Light Gong Mental Method more diligently, which was the mental method of escaping, and he couldn't imagine practicing it, and even learned to fly the eaves and walk on the wall. Sometimes at night, he practiced the longitudinal technique of light gong in his small courtyard, and experienced how to lift his qi and light his body quietly when stepping on the tiles on his toes. Why didn't Brother Ding come back to see, if he came back, I would definitely pester him to teach me light skills.

After a month, Wang Xiaoer remembered that Xinyi was looking for Li Youzhong, and he asked Deng Caibao, the account office, and said, "Old Deng, these days, has anyone been to Xinyi Firm?"

Deng Caibao said: "I've been here." ”

"How many times?"

"Twice. ”

"Does the person I'm looking for have eyebrows?"

"No, he said he was looking for it. ”

"And what is he doing here?"

"Take a commission, one or two pieces of silver a day, and a commission paid every ten days. ”

"I don't take the money down, but the matter is abandoned. ”

"Then tell Xinyi, this matter has stopped, let's not look for it?"

"No, I didn't mean that, they want to come again, so I'll urge them to be careful. ”

"Yes. But it's hard to say how to find someone, sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow. It is in response to the old saying that 'there is nowhere to find when you step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it'. ”

"Xinyi Commercial Bank won't slander people, right?"

"No, word of mouth is full of word-of-mouth, but it's not something that can be planted in a day or two. ”

"Then look for it again. ”

"Yes. ”

"Lao Deng, I'm going back to my hometown Pinghu tomorrow, about four or five days, and this inn will be handed over to you. ”

"Okay, boss, don't worry, go home and stay for a few more days, it's not easy to go out, I'm in charge of the inn, I'll just live in the store tomorrow, don't worry." ”

"You do things, I don't worry. In fact, he was not at ease at all, and secretly told his godson Li Chenggong to let him have more eyes and look at it, especially to keep an eye on Deng Caibao, to see what friends he had, whether he was on the right path, where he lived in Nanjing, and whether he had any other relatives. Godson Li Chenggong naturally nodded again and again.

＊＊＊

When he returned to Changshu, he saw his father and brother, and only stayed at home for one night, afraid that his neighbors would recognize him, Wang Xiaoer didn't dare to stay longer, left some silver, and left.

When my father and brother asked him where he was doing business, he said, "Far away, Guangzhou." Moreover, I always run around the country, and I don't have an accurate place, don't come to me, I can't find it, I pass by Changshu, and I will come home to see you.

Leaving Changshu, he went back to Nanjing, to the Confucius Temple, and remembered to find Li Youzhong, and went straight to the Xinyi Searching Firm, as always, the Confucius Temple was bustling, full of crowded people, saw a familiar figure in the distance, flashed in front of the Xinyi Seeking Firm, that was not the Snow Lotus Fairy Gu he saved a few days ago, he walked a few steps closely, came to the front of the Xinyi Seeking Firm, the road in front of the door was like a carp crossing the river, the Snow Lotus Fairy was gone, Wang Xiaoer saw the proprietress of the Finding Firm, sitting in the shop doing needlework, and asked: "Boss, just now, have you ever seen an old woman with a tumor on her forehead?"

The proprietress Qiao Shuixian raised her head and said, "No, I haven't seen it." ”

"Didn't she enter the store?"

"How come, I'm looking at the shop? What are you looking for an old woman? Aren't you looking for the demon monk Li Youzhong?"

"Yes, but the old woman knows where the demon monk is, and if she finds the old woman, she can find the demon monk. ”

Qiao Shuixian said: "Then you have to tell me that I don't care about men." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "That's the same. Is the boss there?"

"No. ”

"How's the search going?"

"Listen to him, it's almost there. ”

"Hurry up, find someone, and tell him that I'll give him some extra silver. ”

"Thank you. ”

"I'm leaving. ”

"Why don't you sit down for a while, wait for the master?"

"Nope. ”

"Good to go. ”
