Volume 1: The Boys' Rivers and Lakes Chapter 4: Awkward Whispers (Revised)
Liang Qianqiu left.
Sending Liang Qianqiu away, He Xiaonian was a little lost for no reason, saying that he shouldn't have this feeling, he still remembered that when the master of Changse, who traveled to the Quartet for the first time, first arrived at He's house and said that he wanted to take Liang Qianqiu to Lonely Eagle Peak to concentrate on cultivation, he was not so disappointed.
I remember that when Liang Qianqiu was taken away by Master Changse for the first time, he only took away a younger sister, and at that time, his childhood playmate had not yet traveled far away, and now he should have gone, and he should not have left and did not stay in this small Zhuwu City.
looks like a childhood partner, but he is still alone in this little Zhuwu City?
No, I have to go to Uncle Nong for two glasses of hot wine and talk about my life ideals.
Tavern, this is a tavern run by Uncle Nong, the name is Tavern, without any prefixes and suffixes.
In this small tavern, the shopkeeper Uncle Nong is a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, who is drunk all day long, and this person belongs to the kind of person who "wine is his old life, and whoever dares to spoil his old life, he dares to fight with whomever he lives".
This man is weird, and so is the name.
Farm work, the name is really easy to misunderstand who wants to work in the fields.
The tavern tavern naturally sells wine for a living, and the wine in this wine shop is extremely complete, and there are three of the top ten wines in the wine list, among which the second-ranked "willow leaf wine" is still brewed by the boss himself. The wine record is the wine record of the world, so the famous wine is also the famous wine of the world.
However, the hottest thing sold here is the most common and mellow rice wine.
It's delicious, not greasy.
Speaking of this Uncle Nong, don't look at him as just a small shopkeeper, in fact, he is very big. I heard that the farmer shopkeeper used to be a famous wine sword fairy on the rivers and lakes, and he was famous for his set of "drunken immortal" swordsmanship, but it was true or false, because except for the blacksmith Sun, who looked more unreliable than Uncle Nong, no one believed it, so there was no way to know......
Liang Qianqiu and a cool girl went south with the sunset from the south city gate.
At this time, a group of people entered Zhuwu City from the north in response to the sunset.
Most of the people in this group were bearded men, most of them carrying a ring knife and leading the horses, they found an inn and lived in it.
When the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper saw so many people from the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help but feel worried, for fear that they would fight with someone and tear down their shop.
But he still barely sat them down with a smile. But when Li Jishan, the leader of it, took out an ingot of silver that looked like it was at least ten taels heavy, I believe that the smile on the corner of the shopkeeper's and shopkeeper's mouth must be sincere.
"Come to five jars of good wine and six catties of good beef, and prepare some more dry food, and feed our horses well, and the rest of the money will be yours." Li Jishan waved his hand, and when he wanted to go back and discuss the next plan with his brother, he was pulled back by the trembling hand of the shopkeeper: "This guest officer, we don't dare to sell beef recklessly in our small business, or ......."
"Then some home-cooked food, wine shines, go. Li Jishan waved his hand impatiently, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper answered and immediately went down to work.
Li Jishan turned around and shouted at his brothers: "Everyone, let's do a lot of money this time, so no one can give me sloppy, and after eating and drinking, I will go to Lao Tzu to slap in, if anyone can't get out of bed today, don't blame me for not recognizing him as a brother." ”
The remaining dozen or so men who were eating and drinking responded in unison, and then continued to make punches.
As for Li Jishan, he went out.
Recently, there has been news circulating on the rivers and lakes: Luo Xinghua, the old knife saint, is seriously ill!
In fact, Luo Xinghua's illness was many years ago, and he had also found a doctor before, but he said that there was no way, and the "illness" was not a big deal, so he had to give up.
It's just that the condition is getting worse and worse as time goes by, and his apprentice Zang Wen recruits miracle doctors, but all in vain. Until now, Luo Xinghua can't even get out of bed, his lips are blue, and he often shouts cold, and it is only a little warmer when he covers two quilts in June......
There is also a news on the rivers and lakes that has not yet spread: Sun Sunjin, a blacksmith who has long retired from the rivers and lakes, has a prescription hidden in the body of a sword called the center sword in his back basket.
This news is actually not big or small.
To put it mildly, how much is Blacksmith Sun's prescription worth? Blacksmith Sun is a person with a very high reputation and a very good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts have long reached the peak, and he has always been good friends with the iron fighting miracle doctor, so this paper prescription is extraordinary.
But to put it mildly, blacksmith Sun has retired for many years, although there are not a few people who remember him on the rivers and lakes, but there are very few people who know him, as for blacksmith Sun is now alive or dead, no one knows, this kind of ethereal thing, how many people will believe it?
——
Speaking of the housekeeper Qu of the He Mansion, he can also be regarded as the old man of the He family.
Steward Qu's real name is actually Qu Mingnan, and he can be regarded as a person on the rivers and lakes, Jian Qu with two swords in hand, in the Lingnan area, who doesn't know, which family doesn't know?
It's just that he was framed eight years ago and then fell here, and was taken in by He Wang, who was just a son-in-law at the time, and became a descendant of the He family, Qu Mingnan has been conscientious and conscientious in the past eight years, and has been living honestly in the He family, except for helping Mrs. Han do that unkind thing, he has always been very honest.
Honestly, the neighbors really thought he was just a housekeeper......
The tavern without a name still has a lot of guests today, including He Xiaonian, who came to find the shopkeeper to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, Li Jishan, who had just arranged for his brothers, and Qu Mingnan.
It's just that in the entire Zhuwu City, except for He Wang, who is the head of the He family, no one knows his name.
However, Li Jishan knew that the two of them did not know each other, and even until today it was only the first time they met, but for Qu Mingnan's big name, especially the people who took the rivers and lakes in the south of the Liang Dynasty, it had almost reached the point where everyone knew about it.
As for Li Jishan and his group, they belong to the kind of people who use people's money to eliminate disasters for others in the rivers and lakes, in fact, he came here at the behest of Qu Mingnan, because Qu Mingnan told him that there was the sword he needed here, as for what kind of "treasure law, this Li Jishan really doesn't know, but just listen to the name of this sword, presumably most of those who have broken through the rivers and lakes have heard of it."
One is evil, and the other is the center.
The owner of both swords is the same person, and that person is called Sun Jin, alias blacksmith Sun. The name is dirty, and the people are also dirty, but the ten weapons in his back basket are not dirty at all.
The honest man who used to go around the world with a basket on his back has long since retired to the rivers and lakes, but there is still the sound of the ten weapons clanging in the basket on the rivers and lakes......
The sword body of the Upper Evil Sword is three feet long, and the tip of the sword has been changed to a cross style, which is a real murder sword, and it is said that this sword is condensed into a four-pound iron sword with a full hundred catties of fine iron, which is tough and sharp.
As for the center sword, it is about two feet long. A bronze dagger is a good sword in itself.
What is a good sword, a good blacksmith is a good sword made of fine materials, and the sword itself has a secret book, which can also be said to be a good sword.
And Li Jishan came for the good sword of the center sword.
It is rumored that the blacksmith Sun once stayed in Cuiwei Mountain for a few days when he traveled the world, and helped the divine doctor to retreat from the offense several times, so the divine doctor gave Sun Jin a prescription, and heard that it was hidden in the center sword.
He didn't believe this kind of news, but since Tang Gongzi was willing to accept such a deal, his credibility increased a little.
The prescription of the divine doctor is naturally extraordinary, so Li Jishan is only entrusted by others and takes money to do things.
"Uncle Nong, come to two taels of 'ten miles of incense'. He Xiaonian found an empty table and sat down with his back to the door of the store, but he opened his mouth a little weakly to speak.
The real name of the farmer is farm work, which is the farm work that does farm work in the field. On weekdays, he is always dressed in gray cloth and linen, rattan and straw sandals, his hair is simply tied with a cloth belt, his face is often unshaven, and his whole body is always skinny. In addition, the eyes are not focused, so people always look like they are depressed all day long because they can't marry a daughter-in-law.
But this one, but it's a real one.
The farm saw He Xiaonian walking in with a dejected look, and he didn't know what was going on, so he took a jar of wine from the account table and smiled next to He Xiaonian and persuaded him: "What can make you, this little guy, come to me to borrow wine to drown your sorrows?" ”
He Xiaonian poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and poured it in: "It's nothing, it's just that the girl is gone, and I feel a little uncomfortable." ”
The farm work suddenly realized that he was about to say more, but he saw that business had come, so he rushed to greet him.
"A pot of wine, a plate of side dishes. Li Jishan commanded.
"Okay, sit down for a while, and you'll be here right away. "Here the farm work is running behind and is busy, over there He Xiaonian is drinking the stuffy wine one by one, and in a blink of an eye, he has gone down half of the jar, his eyes are already a little blurry, and he began to be silly.
Qu Mingnan walked into the tavern in his subordinate clothes, and saw Li Jishan drinking vigorously at a glance, and then walked over, clasping his hands into fists: "Brother Li." ”
Li Jishan was thinking about tomorrow's events, and when he heard Qu Mingnan's salute, he hugged him and returned the courtesy.
"Two, the wine is here, eat and drink well. After saying a few kind words, he withdrew from the farm work, and then walked aside with He Xiaonian and whispered: "Xiaonian, isn't that the housekeeper Qu in your house?"
He Xiaonian looked back, then let out an absent-minded "oh", and continued to drink with his head down.
He Xiaonian didn't care about the farm work, and he didn't bother to meddle with things, so he followed He Xiaonian to drink and not eat, and he didn't know what it was like.
Here, Qu Mingnan Xu didn't see his young master, but just talked to Li Jishan by himself: "Brother Li, I am grateful that you can come today, Lao Qu, but Lao Qu is really aggrieved in the He family, and there is not much silver in his pocket, Brother Li won't mind, right?"
Li Jishan laughed: "Don't mind, Brother Qu can tell me such news, which is worth more than this meal." Immediately, Li Jishan suddenly lowered his voice: "Brother Qu has been in the He family for so many years, don't you want to reappear in the rivers and lakes?"
Qu Mingnan grabbed Shi Shu and shook his head helplessly: "Why don't you want to, when I get those two swords, I will go back to Lingnan to take revenge." What about you, who wants to get that prescription from Tang Gongzi?"
Li Jishan said: "I don't know, Tang Gongzi has always been strict in business, and I don't want to talk much." If I don't talk about that, where is the central sword you are talking about? When I entered the city, I saw a broken rusty sword hanging on the top of the city. ”
There is a small pavilion named "Tongguan" on the north head of Zhuwucheng, which has the same name as the "Tongguan" in the northwest frontier of Daliang, but it is two different things. Tongguantai Hanging Sword Town Monster, Tongguan City Hanging Sword Town Barbarian.
"The central sword is naturally in the back basket of blacksmith Sun. Qu Mingnan said nonsense.
Li Jishan also felt that it was nonsense, and just when he wanted to refute it, he suddenly thought of a possibility: Blacksmith Sun is in Zhuwu City!
"You mean to say...... Is it possible that he is here?" Li Jishan lowered his voice, "Is Blacksmith Sun actually living in seclusion here?"
Qu Mingnan shook his head: "It's not possible, it must be here." But now the central sword and the evil sword are not in his back basket, but hanging over the city, the one you saw when you entered the city. ”
"Then we'll ...... tonight," Li Jishan made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Qu Mingnan took a sip of wine, and then laughed.
The two of them whispered, thinking that no one heard. However, He Xiaonian, who was only a table away from Li Jishan, heard their conversation clearly......
