Chapter 80: The Past of the Qiao Family (1)

In the middle of the day, even though it is early spring, the sun is still very poisonous. Liang Laosan's forehead was full of sweat, and his back was also soaked with sweat. But "Yang Erlang" was still galloping, the horse's hooves flying, and he never slowed down a minute.

Liang Laosan was happy on the horse, kept stroking the horse's mane, and kept praising it: "It's really a good horse." "The sun moved to the south, it was already noon, Liang Laosan rode a horse and galloped just past the stone pai of the water road, and in a blink of an eye, he was already close to a small town.

Liang Laosan didn't rush to restrain the horse, because he really liked "Yang Erlang", the horse slowed down, and Liang Laosan walked forward on the horseback.

He looked up at the archway, and there were three golden characters written on the plaque - Li Jiaji.

At a second glance, there is no one in this small street, only yellow sand and loess, although the store door is open, but no one is running, it is simply a dead town. Liang Laosan originally planned to get off the horse when Li Jiaji came, so as not to attract the attention of many people, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary, and Liang Laosan seems to be a little lost in his heart.

"This town is so weird. It was really weird, but Liang Laosan still couldn't figure out what was going on. Although he was in a hurry, he couldn't let go of his curiosity about this Li Jiaji.

Liang Laosan led the horse to the door of a tea shop, and saw that it was dark and lifeless, the tables and stools were full of ashes, and there were cobwebs on the pillars and beams. Liang Laosan smacked his lips and continued to walk forward and look, but the result was the same, whether it was a tavern, a teahouse, or even a brothel, it was a dilapidated scene.

Liang Laosan sighed: "Forget it, it's important!"

With that, he turned over and got on his horse, wanting to pass through Li Jiaji and go to Huang'an Town. Suddenly, he saw a figure in the distance, the man was riding a horse, walking slowly towards him, but he seemed to be riding a horse upside down, Liang Laosan was alert, thinking that the person who came to this strange town was an unusual person even if he was not eccentric, not to mention riding a horse upside down.

Liang Laosan muttered: "Heh, there is an old Zhang Guo." ”

As he spoke, he dismounted and led the horse into a dark alley, waiting for the man to come slowly.

Liang Laosan listened carefully, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, but he couldn't see the horse passing by, Liang Laosan thought that he had more important things, no matter who came, he couldn't delay, and he was a little impatient to wait, and he poked his head out of the wall quietly to take a look.

Shocked at this, the horse was tied to a doorpost at the door, and the man on the horse was gone. Liang Laosan twisted his nose and said, "Okay, this animal is standing still!"

Liang Laosan looked left and right, but he couldn't see the shadow of the man riding the horse, he saw that the sun had turned to the west, and time was pressing, so he couldn't delay.

Liang Laosan didn't care about 3721, turned over and got on the horse, rode the horse and galloped, a puff of smoke and dust rose, and Liang Laosan had disappeared.

Huang'an Town can be very lively, unlike Li Jiaji - there is not even a living person.

Liang Laosan likes this kind of town, the more lively the appointment, the more lively he is, the more he will have to eat, drink and play, but there is a trouble with many people, that is, it is too attention-grabbing. He didn't know that the people in Huang'an Town were indifferent to each other, he was a beggar, and no one would pay attention to the beggar on the street, but the beggar leading a good horse was very conspicuous.

Liang Laosan looked at "Yang Erlang" reluctantly: "Alas, you said that I have only been with you for a short time, but I am reluctant to separate from you." Well, if I need you in the future, you'll blow the whistle, and if you can hear you, come to me, how about it?"

"Yang Erlang" gasped twice, and his hooves also "clicked" on the ground, Liang Laosan suddenly smiled and said: "Then you and I will ...... separately" As he spoke, he hugged the neck of "Yang Erlang" and rubbed his face again and again. Then he touched its mane, led it to face the official road, and then walked behind it, patted the horse's buttocks, and "Yang Erlang" walked away. There were two tears on Liang Laosan's face.

But this emotion did not continue to affect him, his stomach was already growling, and the only thing that could make him worry was the smell of food and wine. He did the math, and now it is only the 14th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and there is still more than half a day before the 15th.

After that, he went to the "Fengyun Restaurant", these things have been explained before, including the fight between Qiao Erlang Qiao Lin and Liang Laosan, so I won't describe it too much. Without further ado, the book gets back to business.

After everyone heard Liang Laosan's eyebrows fluttering, they all clapped their hands and applauded, Qin Ping was the most pleasant, picked up a bowl of wine, and said: "Come, Brother Liang! Brother, I toast you, you don't care if you're a man, you're still a good person!"

Liang Laosan also raised the bowl and said, "I was originally a good person!"

Yi Wanxuan said: "You can't just let the two of you drink, come and come, come and ......" Yi Wanxuan also poured himself a bowl, raised it and said: "Come, everyone!

Everyone echoed "Dry!", and this table full of knights became the pride of the rivers and lakes.

Sun Qiao'er saw that Qin Ping was drinking to his heart's content, and the more he drank, the more addicted he became, so he laughed at him, "Aren't you not drinking?"

Qin Ping also had a straight temperament, and he didn't hear Sun Qiao'er's sarcasm, so he smiled and said: "This wine is delicious, and it's not poisonous!"

Everyone laughed and said, in fact, the more straight people live, the happier they live, and often the answers made by straight people are also the most ingenious.

After a few more bowls, they ate some food and talked and laughed, mostly between two or three people.

Sun Qiaoer and Lian Xiangyu are as close as sisters, but they snubbed Li Yuanchen, who has not yet recovered. Li Yuanchen naturally can't drink, his vitality is damaged, and he can't drink, but he doesn't have much appetite, most of them are listening to what others say, and a smile appears on his face from time to time.

Although Kong and Qi Ying'er didn't talk much, they always said a few words, and after a while, they talked for a while.

And Liang Laosan only cares about eating and drinking, and doesn't talk to others much, whoever asks a few words, he will answer. After a while, Qi Ying'er asked him, "The senior just said that he met Qiao Erlang, I don't know who he is?"

Liang Laosan clamped the elbow in the plate, didn't look at Qi Ying'er, and said: "He, I am not very familiar with him, but I know that the three brothers are not good people." In fact, it can't be said that they are not good people, but who made them work for Nangong He?"

Qi Ying'er just wanted to say something, but she heard Li Yuanchen, who had not spoken for a long time, say: "Actually, the three brothers of the Qiao family were originally very decent. It's just that if there was no such thing, he might not be in the company of people like Nangong He. ”

Qi Ying'er asked, "What is that?"

With a smile, as if he knew the so-called incident, Qi Ying'er understood what he meant, he wanted Li Yuanchen to say, does Li Yuanchen have anything to do with that Qiao Erlang? Unconsciously, everyone also stopped talking and listened to what Li Yuanchen said about Qiao Lin.

Li Yuanchen saw that everyone was listening to his speech, as if he was a little embarrassed, Sun Qiao'er touched her lightly and smiled: "Say it." ”

Li Yuanchen took a sip of tea and said: "Forty years ago, in Ningxia in the northwest, there was a famous dart bureau in the northwest region, called 'Hulin Dart Bureau', and the head of the Hulin Dart Bureau was Qiao Kuiqiao's old man, and the people in the rivers and lakes called 'Flying Tiger Head'. The old man Qiao Kui was originally a disciple of the Shaolin layman, although he was a layman, he was deeply aware of the subtlety of Shao's * Gong, and his external and internal skills were also practiced to the top, especially the nine-section whip in one hand, which was superb. The nine-section whip can be hard or soft in his hands, hard as a spear and as soft as a rattan whip. In the northwest, Mr. Qiao also made a name for himself with his hard work.

"The reputation is there, but the old man's life is not good, the reputation can't be eaten, and if you want to eat, you have to ask for the white silver in your waist. So Old Man Qiao wanted to rely on his own skills to support a dart game to support himself as a bodyguard. At that time, Mr. Qiao did not marry a wife, he was forty years old, and he was still a single, and he devoted himself to his own dart game operation.

"At that time, the business of the dart bureau was really sluggish, especially in the northwest, and the people there refused to hand over their hard-earned money to the dart bureau to protect them, and they all felt that the dart board was here to deceive people. Especially when they knew that Old Man Qiao had been on the Green Forest Road for a few years, they felt that he would definitely give his goods to the Green Forest Robbers. lasted like this for two years, but I didn't receive a few orders for a lot of business, and I didn't make any money, but I had to feed my people every day, and I lost a lot of money.

In desperation, Mr. Qiao could only disband the dart game in Ningxia, and asked a few friends to borrow money to go to the southeast alone. Although Chang'an is not far from his hometown, he has never seen the prosperity of Chang'an, and he has been infatuated with this place several times. Soon he spent all the only dozen taels of silver he had left, and almost ended up on the streets. Fortunately, he met Yun Mengyi, that is, his future wife, Yun Mengyi is a woman fifteen years younger than him, living in a well-off family. She was in her prime and should have had a better home, but despite the opposition of her family, she was deeply attracted by the charm of Old Man Qiao, and she fell in love with Old Man Qiao who was down at that time.

Soon after, the two eloped. Old Man Qiao has done everything, selling arts, striking iron, picking goods... Yun Mengyi is also waiting for him all the time, and the two of them have been in love with each other for ten years. Finally, the hard days are over, the old man Qiao was delivering goods that day, and met a thief, who was being chased by the people of the government, the thief was running on the street, and several officials of the government were shouting and chasing after him, and the thief was also chasing while knocking away passers-by. Old Man Qiao was carrying two sacks of rice grain, and the thief happened to hit Old Man Qiao, and the two bags of grain behind Old Man Qiao were also knocked to the ground, and the bags were worn out, and all the grain was spilled. Old Man Qiao wanted to theorize, but seeing that the thief didn't even say a word, he just ran for his life, and saw that several people from the government were also running behind, and he saw that the thief must be a criminal wanted by the government. So a chivalrous blood surged into his heart, and he didn't care about the food, so he used the swallow's three ways of copying water, and a few ups and downs caught up with the thief. ......”

Everyone could hear it, they had all heard the name of "Flying Tiger Head" Qiao Kui, but they didn't know anything about these things, no one thought that Li Yuanchen would know so delicately, and they were all a little curious in their hearts, but they listened to it and unconsciously put themselves into it, wishing they had a friend with the old man Qiao.

Li Yuanchen said beautifully, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, he didn't want to let the tears flow out and let everyone laugh, but it was really on his lips, evoking the past, and he had to feel nostalgic. Wiping the corners of his eyes, he continued......
