When he was fifty years old, he encountered a turning point - he met a thief who made his life better. Then he said that Qiao Kui caught the thief who was being pursued by the government, and this thief seemed to be quite capable, with his waist lowered and his neck twisted, bypassing Qiao Kui's grappler. Qiao Kui let go of his hand, the thief had two mustaches, a pair of rat eyes, sharp buckteeth, blue sweatshirt, and a heavy big bag behind him, stood aside and glared at Qiao Kui and shouted, "Why are you blocking grandpa's way?"

Qiao Kui smiled unhurriedly and said: "I go my way, you go your way, who let you hit me, spilled a field of grain, I can't explain to the employer, who do you say I should go to?"

The thief said disdainfully: "Who the do you like to go to! Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will kill you!"

"Stop! Don't go!" "Stop him!" "Stop him!" The three government officials behind have chased after them, and the thieves turned around and ran away without saying a word, but Qiao Kui did not stop this time, the three officials behind have already run to Qiao Kui, and two of them continue to chase forward, among which there is a slightly sturdy official who pointed at Qiao Kui and said: "You, you dare to let go of the court criminals!

Qiao Kui clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Official, it's not that we intend to let him go, but we really don't know that he is going to be committed by the imperial court!

The official looked at him with disdain: "It's just you..." Before he finished speaking, Qiao Kui got up, and after a few ups and downs, he rushed to the front of the two officials who had just chased him, and then Qiao Kui only used his toes to the ground, and another rise and fall, and chased in front of the thief.

The three servants were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this coolie to have such ability. The thief also saw it clearly this time, Qiao Kui turned over and fell in front of him, the thief knew that this time he encountered a hard bone, and he might have lost his teeth if he was not careful. When the thieves saw that the servants were standing not far away and did not intend to make any moves, they thought, "Could it be that this coolie wears the same pants as the government? ”

After the thief made up his mind, he made up his mind, stabilized his breath, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Tai has a handsome kung fu, dare to ask Brother to report Wan'er out, let's get to know each other." ”

Qiao Kui took his hand and said: "My name is Qiao Kui, I don't mess around, I just practiced some fists and feet to eat in the rivers and lakes, you don't know me, and I don't know you." ”

The thief laughed and said, "Oh, then in that case, why don't you put it in the past, let's just let the well water not violate the river water." ”

Qiao Kui said: "It's not that I won't let you go, it's those officials who won't let you go, if I let you go, they will only ask, what do you say I should do?"

The thief snorted, "It seems that you won't give way today?"

Qiao Kui shook his head and said, "Don't let it!"

The thief spat out his phlegm, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Okay! What a fucking back today! Touching you broom star! Grandpa will teach you a lesson!"

Qiao Kui stretched out a hand, stood on his heels, tied up his horse, and said, "Please!"

The thief's vicious eyes were blazing, his palm turned into a claw, and he rushed towards Qiao Kui with grinning teeth, Qiao Kui looked at him coldly, did not move, and waited until the thief reached his eyes, and suddenly he was in a posture, his right hand was a fist to his waist, and his left hand was a fist, and his body stepped out with his right leg slanted, and at the same time, his left fist turned into a palm, and hit the thief's chest.

I thought that Qiao Kui was born in Shaolin, and his foundation was very deep, the next plate was very stable, the force started from the ground, and the palm was strong.

The thief received Qiao Kui's palm, and when he stepped back, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. Qiao Kui looked at him with a cold smile, he knew that he was not Qiao Kui's opponent, so he wanted to run for his life. Unexpectedly, as soon as he exerted his strength, his chest suddenly exploded, and he fainted in pain.

The three officials who were standing at a distance trotted over, and when they saw that the thief had fallen to the ground unconscious, they looked at Qiao Kui with admiration.

The person who shouted at Qiao Kui also changed his tone at this time, and said kindly: "Brother Tai is good at kung fu, what happened just now ......"

Qiao Kui shook his hand and said: "It's good that the official doesn't blame him, the small one is just a three-legged cat kung fu, and the official can't afford to praise the villain like this." ”

When Qiao Kui said this, the official felt that he was really embarrassed to talk to Qiao Kui just now, so he arched his hand and said, "My name is Zhao Ming." ”

Qiao Kui also arched his hand and said, "Qiao Kui." ”

Zhao Ming said: "Thank you Brother Qiao for helping us catch the 'flying mouse' Shi Quan today, if it weren't for you, brother, I'm afraid we would have let him run away with our kung fu, and then the boss blamed us and deducted a month's salary, then it's bitter!"

Qiao Kui tilted his face and looked at it, the other two errand boys had already set up Shi Quan, and Shi Quan was still unconscious with his head drooping. The two officials saw that Shi Quan was so seriously injured, and they only took Qiao Kui's palm, and when they looked at Qiao Kui again, they couldn't tell whether they were admiring or afraid.

Qiao Kui smiled: "His name is really appropriate, this person does look like a mouse." ”

Zhao Ming said: "It's not just like, it's just a flying mouse, and he often does what rats do." ”

Qiao Kui asked curiously, "I don't know whose food this mouse stole from?"

Zhao Ming said: "This ......"

Qiao Kui knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, so he waved his hand and said: "It's rude, it's a villain who talks a lot, and the official just didn't hear it." ”

Zhao Ming saw that Qiao Kui was not only high in martial arts, but also very humble, and his politeness was not like other people, who would tremble when he saw an errand and couldn't help himself, Qiao Kui's similarity was that he was not only not nervous but also very happy, giving people a feeling that he had not yet drunk the wine but smelled the strong aroma of the wine first. Zhao Ming admired Qiao Kui more and more.

Zhao Ming said: "No need to be polite, although you and I met with this farce, it is also fate, wait for me to pay the errand, how about taking off this official uniform and wanting to see my brother?"

When Qiao Kui heard this, he was suddenly a little dazed, and said, "How dare you." ”

Zhao Ming hugged his fists and smiled: "How dare you, let's see you in the future." After that, Zhao Ming and the other two officials escorted the fainting Shi Quan back to recover his life.

Qiao Kui returned to the place just now, put the spilled grain into another bag, and pricked the broken bag again, and wanted to carry it to the grain store not far in front. Before he could take a step, the owner of the grain shop ran over to him, followed by a man pushing a wheelbarrow.

Qiao Kui said: "I'm sorry boss, I encountered an accident just now, this ......"

The owner of the grain shop hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Oh, oops, don't tight, don't tight, hurry up, hurry up, ......" He instructed the man who pushed the cart to put the grain from Qiao Kui's shoulder and then put it on the cart.

Qiao Kui asked, "Boss, what are you doing here?"

The owner of the grain shop said: "The officials are happy, and they don't have to work here in the future." ”

Qiao Kui looked surprised and said: "Boss, what is this, do you want to fire me?" But I still have to support my wife and children at home, if there is no boss to give us food, our whole family will have to go to the street to beg for food." ”

The grain shop owner's face was flushed, and he was so excited, "That's not the case, the officials don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, do you know who the errand was just now?" It turned out that the grain shop owner had seen everything just now, including how Qiao Kui subdued Shi Quan and how Zhao Ming talked to Qiao Kui.

Qiao Kui said: "Isn't it a servant?"

The owner of the grain shop said: "He is not an ordinary person, ordinary officials are only worthy of catching small thieves, but that 'flying mouse' is a big thief, I heard that he stole things in the palace......"

Qiao Kui said: "What I heard is generally unreliable, boss, but what does this have to do with me?" The reason why Qiao Kui felt that this rumor was unreliable was because he had subdued Shi Quan with just one palm just now, and felt that this 'flying mouse' was not as powerful as the rumor.

The owner of the grain shop said: "Why doesn't it matter? The errand just now was the head of the palace." ”

Qiao Kui let out an "oh", and the grain shop owner widened his eyes, looking at Qiao Kui as if he was looking at a madman, "Oh? You don't know how difficult it is to get in touch with the people in the palace, once you do, you can enjoy it." I think that the official just now deliberately promoted you, and you are going to live a good life. ”

Qiao Kui took a breath and said, "Good day......" He thought of his wife working hard to weave, and thought that his three sons were still practicing calligraphy on the ground with charcoal, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

The owner of the grain shop said: "Yes, a good life, when you live a good life, don't forget me, a small trader!"

Qiao Kui said: "If it is really as the boss said, I will never be ungrateful, but now this fact is not accurate, and I ask the boss to take me in for a few more days." ”

The owner of the grain shop said: "Of course, of course, officials, you don't have to do all this hard work, I just sent Lao Wu to Jiangnan to find a business friend of mine, you can take care of the warehouse for him, okay, the money you have to pay quadruple, what do you think?"

When Qiao Kui heard this, he hurriedly said: "How good is this, boss, this is a ...... for no reason"

The boss of the grain shop intercepted: "What's not to do, I'm the boss, I have the final say, and besides, in the past three months, you have done two or three times as much work every day as other guys, unlike them, who do less and eat more and complain all day long, I will quadruple it for you, it's too little, triple it!"

When Qiao Kui heard this, he burst into tears, quickly thanked the boss, and said a few words to the boss before walking home.

On the way home, Qiao Kui was in an unusually relaxed and cheerful mood, I don't know whether it was because of the boss's salary increase or because he met Zhao Ming, but it seems that this is all the same thing. Anyway, he's going to jump away.

At this time, he just wanted to go home quickly and tell his wife the good news, and tell her not to work hard to weave and feed anymore.

Walking on the road, he saw a roast duck shop, and when he touched his arms, there were some broken silver, which the boss had rewarded him with just now, so he bought two roast ducks, and bought pig's head meat and a fat carp, "I can eat a good meal tonight." ”
