Chapter Seventy-Three: Being a Child of Other People's Families

After everyone said the words of blessing, Mrs. Peng beckoned Peng Gao to come over.

"Go and bring the jade tiger in my study. The thief said he was going to steal it tonight, and I'm here to see how he steals it. ”

The thief door has a grudge against Mrs. Peng, and this time he came to steal things obviously not for property, but to cut his face when Mrs. Peng celebrates his birthday. Embarrass him. And this jade tiger was the trophy that Mrs. Peng got when the two sides clashed for the first time. The symbolism is extraordinary. Therefore, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Mrs. Peng is ready to put this jade tiger under her nose. Get ready to see what tricks the thief can play.

In fact, it's not a day or two that the thief door comes to stir up trouble, and he basically comes twice a year. But he never took advantage of Pengjiabao. Pengjiabao can be said to be already a heart disease of the thief. If you don't vomit in your throat, you won't be happy.

This time, Mrs. Peng is 70 years old, if you can't cut the face of the Peng family, it will be difficult for the thief to come back to find trouble, after all, Mrs. Peng is also old, and if she comes again, she will be suspected of bullying the elderly, and she will not win.

The thief door also has a chivalrous reputation in the rivers and lakes. The main game is to rob the rich and help the poor. Of course, there are exceptions to the concept of rich and poor. They see themselves as proletarians. Most of the rich people who robbed filled their own poor mouths. However, the rules of the thief door are limited, and any thief who steals a fortune of more than 100 taels must give some money to the poor people. The superstitious saying is that "if you take ill-gotten gains, if you don't do something good, the wealth will run away, and it will be difficult to eat this bowl of rice in the future."

Of course, this alone can't be called a chivalrous, it's just a thief with a little virtue.

However, the legend of the thief door was created by Shi Qian, but I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, the name of Shi Qian's thief is there, and this thief door is born with a bit of chivalry.

Mrs. Peng didn't hide it from the birthday greetings, so she announced the purpose of the thief.

After listening to Mrs. Peng's words, he suddenly looked at the young man who was not yet young and said smartly: "With Grandpa here, they will definitely return in vain this time." On the contrary, it makes the birthday banquet more fun. It's also a quick thing. ”

This young man obviously has a good status in Pengjiabao, and he is very favored by Mrs. Peng, who listened to his words and immediately touched his head kindly and said, "Song'er, according to what you say, they are also guests who come to celebrate their birthdays?"

The young man, known as Song'er, affirmed: "Of course, grandpa, didn't you tell me that the people who came here were guests! ”

"Well said, well said! I'll give you candy. The young man's answer was reasonable, and Mrs. Peng was immediately very pleased!

After a while, Peng Gao walked in with a jade tiger in his hand, this jade tiger carved lifelike, strutting forward, looking very powerful and domineering.

People like to be lively, and when they heard that there was a lively scene to see today, the guests decided to stay and have a look, and Xu Feilong was naturally no exception. Now that they saw the Jade Tiger, everyone looked at it twice. Among them, Pan Fu was the most excited.

"Isn't it just a jade tiger? Seeing that Pan Fu was about to come to Yuhu, Xu Feilong hurriedly pulled him and said.

"You don't understand, this jade tiger has a history, it is the testimony of Mrs. Peng when he first became famous in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh, and the origin, let's hear about it. "Xu Feilong is bored anyway, so it's better to listen to the story.

"It is said that there was a great epidemic in Guanzhong that year, and there were many rats. The people have no harvest. When Mrs. Peng saw such a scene at that time, she first went to Taibai Mountain to find the divine doctor Sun Simiao, and then took people into the mountain to collect medicine, and cut down the Taibai tiger and the valley. After collecting medicine, he heard that the thief Kui Yuande disregarded the anger of the sky and the resentment of the people, and intercepted the medicine truck transported into the customs and threatened to ask for 100,000 taels of gold. Old lady Peng killed Kui Yuanzhai alone, beheaded 23 bandits below Kui Yuande, and brought back medicinal materials to save countless people. After the plague was cured, the rat plague retreated, and the people gave him this jade tiger because he had the power to kill the tiger. To thank him for his chivalrous deeds. ”

Pan Fu looked adoring when he spoke, as if he wished that he had done all this back then.

Xu Feilong didn't care what Pan Fu thought, and then asked: "Listen to what you said, there is nothing wrong with the Thief Door inside!

"It has something to do with the thief door, that's in the back. Later, Mrs. Peng did several big things, and her chivalrous reputation spread far and wide. At that time, the old master of the thief had just died, and just about to choose the new master, he set up an exam question and asked the two disciples to steal the jade tiger in the hands of the old lady Peng. And that time, like this time, I informed Mrs. Peng in advance. In the eyes of this group of thieves, stealing secretly cannot show the means, and it is necessary to steal openly. It's a pity that none of the brothers succeeded, not only did they not steal it, but they were also captured by Mrs. Peng. And today's thief master is one of the senior brothers. The thief door lost such a big person, not to mention the head of the house, if they don't wash away this shame, how can they steal the door gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. That's where the feud between them comes from. ”

Fu Pan said, as if he had returned to the era when Mrs. Peng was in high spirits. I couldn't help but sigh.

"This little brother is so knowledgeable! I know so well what I have done for so many years. I, the person who experienced this incident back then, can be said to be ashamed, but now except for Brother Peng's high-spirited appearance at that time, the other experiences have long been blurred. If it weren't for the little brother telling me today, I don't know if I would have remembered it!"

When Pan Fu heard this, the old man turned out to be a person who witnessed it back then, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Dare to ask what the seniors call them?"

The old man pulled a stool and sat beside the two of them, and said, "Just call me Xu Lao." The name has long since disappeared from the rivers and lakes. ”

As soon as he heard that the old man's surname was Xu, Pan Fu thought for a moment and immediately saluted here: "Could it be that the predecessor is the old predecessor Xu Dangxian who was known as the righteous and dared to be the first." Seeing it today, Xiaosheng is really fortunate to have three lives. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Xu Dangxian hurriedly supported Pan Fu, who was about to arch to the end. His salute was too exaggerated.

Xu Feilong really couldn't figure out what the origin of this Pan Fu was, he knew so many anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, and he guessed the identity of the old man with just one surname. This is not something that ordinary people can do, after all, this memory is not something that ordinary people can have.

"Pan Fu, let me ask you a question. Xu Feilong simply patted Pan Fu on the shoulder and asked directly.

"What's the problem?"

"Does your memory have a good memory?" Xu Feilong suddenly asked with some hesitation.

"I've been watching since I was a child, what's wrong?"

"Nothing to ask. This kind of thing used to be said in stories, but I didn't expect anyone to be able to do it. I was a little surprised. You must have been used to being someone else's child when you were a child. ”
