Text Chapter 3 Road Encounters

The name of the town is Zhongjia Town, and as the name suggests, the people in the town are mainly surnamed Zhong. Zhongjiazhen said that it was not big, but it was not small, and there were more than 50,000 people. The wine shop and the deli shop are next to each other, and the owners of the two shops are surnamed Zhong, one is called Zhong Da and the other is called Zhong San, and they are two brothers. The tofu shop next to the wine shop has no owner, only a proprietress with a teenage daughter and a three or four-year-old son, who is Zhong Er's wife and children. Zhong Er went two years earlier, and his wife and children supported the tofu shop.

Seeing Zhang Zhe walking slowly from a distance, Zhong Daben greeted loudly: "Little master, why did you come to buy wine and meat again today?

Zhang Zhezhi walked to the shop unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Where are the guests, it was my master who finished eating the wine and meat he bought last time, and the wine was not full, so he sent me to buy some more." ”

"Why is your master so excited today?"

"Who knows, this time I will have more wine, and I will fill it all. Zhang Zhezhi handed the wine gourd to Zhong Da, and shouted to the shop next door: "Third Uncle Zhong, help me weigh three catties of meat again, I still want that kind of semi-fat and thin." ”

"Okay, here we go. Zhong San walked out, threw the meat in his hand on the board, picked up the meat chopping knife casually, raised the knife in his hand, cut the meat into two pieces, picked a large piece and wrapped it in lotus leaves, tied it with hemp rope, and handed it to Zhang Philosophy: "Gao, take it." ”

"Uncle Zhong's skills are amazing, and he will never be able to do this work for more than ten years. ”

"That's it, I started cutting meat when I was a teenager, and it's been more than 20 years, if I can't cut it, what kind of meat are I selling?"

Over there, Zhong Da also beat the wine and handed it to Zhang Zhezhe: "If you have wine and meat, do you want to take a few pieces of tofu back?"

Zhang Philosopher said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to take a few pieces of tofu back, the meat is for the master to drink, and I can have two pieces of tofu." ”

"This kid is filial, it's a pity, following such an old way who only knows how to eat meat and drink wine. The woman of Zhong Er's family said: "Don't be with your old master, don't come to your aunt's house, be a godson to your aunt, and wait for Ling'er to grow up, and you will get married." Don't dare to say anything else, my aunt guarantees that you don't have to worry about food and clothing. ”

Zhang Zhe forced his face to blush, pretending to be shy and said, "That...... That's not possible, if I come to your house, there will be no one to serve my master. ”

The Zhong brothers and the second daughter-in-law of the Zhong family both laughed: "What a good boy, so filial." ”

Walking all the way back from the wine and butcher shop, as soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw seven or eight big men sitting on the stones on the side of the road to rest. Seeing Zhang Philosopher coming over, a big man with an open chest stood up and stopped on the road. When Zhang Zhe saw that the big man was blocking in front of him, he stopped, looked up at the big man, and wondered in his heart: "What do you mean by robbery?"

"Boy, I'm asking you something. The big man walked up to Zhang Philosopher, stretched out his hand and nodded on his shoulder: "Do you know that there is an old bull's nose around here, what is it called...... , Sixth, what's that bull's nose called?"

A big man sitting on the side of the road responded: "Now it's called Yunshan, it used to be called Chen He, who was the master of Dafengling back then, the overlord of Xicheng in Sangji City." ”

"Yes, it's called Yunshan Lao Dao, do you know where he lives? Tell me, otherwise your old man will pull your tendons." The big man pinched Zhang Zhizhi's neck and lifted him up.

Zhang Zhe grabbed the big man's hands with both hands, his face was suffocated, his legs kicked desperately, patted the big man's hands, and pointed to his mouth.

"Say, hurry up, if you don't say it, Lao Tzu will strangle you. The big man shook his hand with Zhang Philosophy.

The big man named the sixth man smiled: "The third one, what did he say if you pinched his neck." ”

The third child scratched his head: "Yes." As he spoke, he put Zhang Zhi down.

Zhang Philosopher bent over and coughed loudly, his mind spinning rapidly. It seems that he is not very familiar with the old Taoist priest, and he is definitely not here to visit relatives. This is here to seek revenge? He took a few deep breaths and looked at the big man, his face showing horror.

Seeing that Zhang Zhe was so frightened that he couldn't speak, the big man kicked him to the ground and shouted, "Hurry up, or Lao Tzu will kill you." ”

Zhang Zhezhi felt this grievance in his heart, thinking that he was also the overlord of the rivers and lakes back then, when did he suffer this grievance? If it weren't for his small body now, how could he go up and fight hard, but now he can only swallow this pain into his stomach. Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, I endure it, master. He wiped away his tears and cried, "Just now...... I saw Lao Dao just now, he went to the Niu Yuan's house in the east of the town, and I heard the Zhong family's aunt say that the old lady of the Niu Yuan's family was gone yesterday, and the old Taoist priest went to do things. ”

The third man turned around and said, "Boss, that Yunshan cow nose is in the east of the town. ”

A lean man in the middle of the group stood up and said, "Okay, let's go, go to the outsider's house to find him." ”

Zhang Zhe secretly glanced at the boss and was startled. These people are tall and strong, but the boss is taller, more than a head taller than the others, and he is lean, walking like a bamboo pole dangling.

The third child pointed at Zhang Philosophy and asked, "Boss, what should I do with this little cub?"

The boss took out a few copper plates, threw them beside Zhang Philosopher, and shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up and get out." With that, he led the men towards the town.

Zhang Zhezhi saw that the gang was walking away, and he couldn't even care about the cooked meat on the ground, so he jumped up and ran towards the mountain.

"Old fellow, old fellow, it's terrible, it looks like your enemy has come to the door. In a panic, Zhang Zhi had already shouted out the title of Yunshan Lao Dao in his heart.

Yunshan Lao Dao was still lying on the recliner, completely indifferent to Zhang Zhizhi's shouting and disrespectful titles, opened his eyes and looked at him, and said slowly: "What's the fuss?"

Zhang Zhe snorted and gasped for a long time before he said: "I met a group of guys who came to you on the road to seek revenge, all of them have big shoulders and round waists, and they also said what you used to call Chen He, the cloud hand. ”

Yunshan Lao Dao closed his eyes again and smiled: "Oh? There are still people who remember Lao Dao's name before I became a monk? It's a bit interesting, it's been decades, and there are still people who can remember Lao Dao, it's not easy." ”

Zhang Zhezhi saw that the old Taoist of Yunshan was really called Chen He, and knew that this old guy should have been a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes back then, maybe he was a Jiangyang thief who killed people and oversold goods, otherwise it would not have been possible for decades, and the enemy family could still come to the door to seek revenge, how much hatred is this? Maybe this old guy killed someone's whole family and raped someone's wife and daughter. He thought in his heart, ran to the firewood room, took out a firewood knife, and ran back.

Yunshan Lao Dao turned his head to look at Zhang Zhe, and said with a smile: "What are you kid doing with a broken wood knife?"

Zhang Zhezhi said: "Everyone has come to the door, can't we catch it with our hands? ”

"With your broken knife, you can't even cut off people's hairs. ”

"That's better than bare hands. Master, why aren't you in a hurry?"

Yun Shan Lao Dao smiled, and said indifferently: "What's the hurry? A few little thieves, your master and I can blow them away, what's the difference between crushing them and crushing a few ants?"

Although Zhang Zhezhi knew that the old Dao of Yunshan had some spells, he didn't know what level these people who came here today, anyway, those people were also seven or eight people, if they were all the same cultivators as the old Dao, that person would have crushed the old Dao to death with stacked arhats. Lao Dao himself said that he was a cultivator of the seventh layer of qi refining, but who knows if he has blown the conch. If Lao Dao really brags about his own skin and lives impatiently, then he will be strangled to death by others with his thin arms and legs.

"I hope your old man will blow them to death in one go. Zhang Zhezhi put the firewood knife at his feet and sat down on the chair beside Yunshan Lao Dao.

Yun Shan asked him, "Where did you deceive them?"

"I told them that your old man was doing things outside the cattle in the east of town, and they believed it. ”

Yunshan Lao Dao turned his head to look at Zhang Zhezhi, and saw that he did not have a paper bag in his hand, only a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and stretched out his hand to him and said, "Give me the wine, and let you buy cooked meat?"

Zhang Zhezhi took off the gourd and handed it to Lao Dao: "It's still cooked meat, I don't know where it fell for a long time, you almost don't have an apprentice today, if it weren't for my master, I would have been strangled to death by others, you see, now my neck is swollen." ”

Yunshan Lao Dao slapped Zhang Zhezhi's head lightly: "Who are you with the little master? He looked at Zhang Zhizhi's neck and saw a palm-shaped black mark on his neck, knowing that he was right: "It's okay, just rub it with medicinal wine later." ”

"Then I guess they're coming soon, too. Alas...... , It's easy to clean up here for more than ten years, and these ghostly guys have come to the door again. Yunshan Lao Dao took a sip of wine and said to Zhang Zhe: "You go and clean up your things, it's hard to live here, and when I clean up those guys, let's change places." ”

Zhang Zhe looked at Lao Dao in surprise and said, "Didn't you say that crushing them to death is the same as crushing a few ants?

Yun Shan said: "If these guys can find here, it means that other people also know, if they don't leave, it is estimated that someone will come to the door every day in the future, wouldn't it be annoying to deal with them every day?"

"Okay, I'll go pack my things now. Zhang Zhe said as he stood up and walked towards the house.

In fact, there was nothing to clean up, nothing more than some change of clothes and some bits and pieces of silver, and the rest were some bedding and pots and pans. If there are few things, it will be quickly packed up, and in just three teas, Zhang Philosophy has already packed up the things, just two packages. I just walked out of the door with my package, and glanced towards the intersection, just in time to see the big men turning the corner and walking over.
