Chapter 7 Market Towns
Chapter 7 The three of them in the market town went all the way, there were no horses, Han Liuyun couldn't help the pain of the long journey, she was nagging and coquettish all the way, and she couldn't walk anymore if she couldn't go fifty miles away. The ugly old woman has lived in the Valley of Lost Souls for more than 20 years, and after leaving the valley, she feels how beautiful the world is, the scenery is pleasant all the way, her mood is very good, and she is not tired. laughed at Han Liuyun and said, "You, the eldest lady, are not as good as my old woman." After that, the ugly old woman sneered, and Han Liuyun ignored her, and said to Qin Xiaotian: "Brother Qin, can you carry me for a ride? My legs are about to break." Qin Xiaotian saw that there was a market town not far ahead, so he carried the Korean Wave Cloud and walked forward. When she arrived at the market town, Qin Xiaotian put down Han Liuyun, and she thanked her with a smile. The ugly old woman interjected: "Miss Han, you are so lucky to meet such a good man!" Han Liuyun smiled coquettishly, and her mother-in-law can also go to Shaolin Temple to find your senior brother. The ugly old woman said: "Young poor mouth, why are you mentioning my senior brother?" After that, she involuntarily touched her face, he cut his hair and became a monk, I am afraid that I can't remember this old woman. The market town was small, with a broken bluestone pavement, sparsely populated streets, and the occasional few ragged and skinny children walked past them, emitting a disgusting stench from them. Han Liuyun hurriedly covered his nose, fanned hard with one hand, and said, "Stink, stink!" Suddenly, a child bumped into her, and left without paying attention. Han Liuyun said: "You fart child, how do you walk?" The child did not argue, and ran a few meters away. Han Liuyun reacted, "Oh no, my silver coins!" Seeing this, Qin Xiaotian rushed out and stopped in front of the child, saying, "Little friend, why do you want to steal your sister's money?" The child hung his head and looked at the bulging pocket, and quibbled: "No, it's my own money!" You are lying, you learned to steal at a young age. Seeing that he couldn't deny it, the child had to take out his pocket and hand it to Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian saw that he looked pitiful, and asked, "Little friend, why did you steal my sister's money, can you tell me?" The child saw that Qin Xiaotian looked good, not like a bad person, so he cried and cried, and said, "Brother, I haven't eaten for a few days, you can save me!" Qin Xiaotian's nose was sore, tears welled up, and he deeply touched this market town after late autumn. "What about your parents?" asked Qin Xiaotian. With tears in her eyes, the child replied, "My parents died a few years ago, and I am an orphan." At this time, Qin Xiaotian thought that he was also born as an orphan, so he sympathized with the child even more, took his hand, and said, "Little friend, can my brother give you food?" Han Liuyun and the ugly old woman had already arrived, and Han Liuyun stepped forward and asked angrily: "You fart child, if you don't study well, you dare to steal this girl's money!" Qin Xiaotian persuaded: "Okay, Liuyun, he was also forced to be helpless, so he did this for a living?" "Look, didn't he return to his original owner? Han Liuyun forgave the child. Qin Xiaotian took everyone to live in an inn. Qin Xiaotian instructed Xiao Er to bathe the child, and went to the street to buy a set of clothes for the child to change and come back. After about a cup of tea, the child came out of the room, only to see that he had clear eyebrows and good facial features, but he had been hungry for a long time and was thinner. I am about ten years old. After the child had eaten a full meal, he said to Qin Xiaotian: "Brother, you are really a good person, this world is not peaceful!" Qin Xiaotian said: "How do you say this?" The child pulled Qin Xiaotian over and said: "Brother, I heard an old beggar on the street say that Yuan Shikai has the heart to be the emperor, and he still collects famous paintings among the people." Han Liuyun heard it clearly, and she consciously touched the "West Lake Smoke and Rain Map" on her body. The ugly old woman glanced at her, with a smile on her face, and said coldly: "Miss Han, how much does this fart kid know?" He has been wandering outside for many years, so he naturally heard some rumors about the Qing Dynasty. The ugly old woman asked with a gloomy face, "Little brat, do you know who the current emperor is?" the child blurted out, "Yuan Shikai." The ugly old woman scolded: "Is that dog thief also worthy of being the emperor?" I really can't believe it!" The child's face became naïve, I said Yuan Shikai, you don't believe it, many people call him "Master Yuan." Han Liuyun corrected honestly, "No, the current emperor is Xuantong, but it's a pity that he is still young." The child argued: "Xuantong is not as old as me, he will not be the emperor, the future emperor should be Yuan Shikai, right?" Qin Xiaotian saw that the more he said, the more outrageous it became, and he was afraid that people would hear it, so as not to bring trouble. Don't talk about this anymore, it's a state affair, and we, the common people, will never understand. It turned out that the child was the son of a distant relative of the current regent Zaifeng, named Wang Qishan, whose father was a local petty official, and his parents were killed for offending the court magnates, so he went to the rivers and lakes to do some stealing chickens and dogs for a living. Wang Qishan was eleven or twelve years old, and he was very clever, and the ugly old woman liked him more and more. Thinking that he has a daughter, I don't know if she is still in the world, and when I think of the sad place, I can't help but burst into tears. Wang Qishan saw that the ugly old woman suddenly cried, and ran forward and asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you? The ugly old woman sighed loudly, I have a daughter in Zhangde, I don't know if she is dead or alive now, what is her name? We can go to Zhangde Mansion to inquire, maybe we will find out about her, her name is Li Lanhui. Qin Xiaotian didn't want to ask more, so he wrote down the name Li Lanhui. He thought: "These things will go to Shaolin Temple to find his master, and everything will fall into place." Han Liuyun could see the mood of the ugly old woman, and she had a suggestion: Mother-in-law, I think this kid Wang Qishan is very clever, your martial arts are so good, just accept him as your apprentice. After he completes his martial arts, he can also serve the country in the future, and he can also avenge his parents. Qin Xiaotian felt that Han Liuyun's suggestion was very good, so that Wang Qishan could have a master to teach him and grow up to be a good person. When Wang Qishan heard that he was about to have a master, he jumped up with joy and said, "Good brother, I will definitely follow you to learn martial arts in the future and avenge my parents." "Then you still don't kneel down to worship the master, Wang Qishan stepped forward, plopped a sound, reverently knelt in front of the ugly old woman, squinted three times, and said: "Master is above, disciple Wang Qishan kowtows to you! The ugly old woman was in trouble, so she changed her voice and called out to Qin Daxia, "Qin Daxia, aren't you embarrassing this old woman?" Han Liuyun laughed and said: "Mother-in-law, you are the only one who wants to apprentice." "In terms of seniority, Brother Qin and I are both juniors, and he is not qualified enough, so don't shirk anymore. Since Qin Daxia treats people so generously, the old woman is very impressed. It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. Qin Xiaotian said happily: "Wang Qishan, I don't want to thank you Master, she promised to accept you as an apprentice!" Wang Qishan kowtowed to the ugly old woman three more times and said, "Thank you, Master." The ugly old woman stepped forward and helped Wang Qishan up, "Good boy, you have to be a good person in the future, Master, I will pass on your life's skills." Wang Qishan bowed again and said, "Disciple Wang Qishan remembers." The ugly old woman said: "I'll be your master for the time being, and I will pass on your kung fu when I have time in the future." She asked Wang Qishan that this place was not far from Zhangde, so it was better to take this opportunity to also inquire about the whereabouts of her daughter Li Lanhui. Wang Qishan said happily: "Master, there is no market town that I am not familiar with, and it is not difficult to find out about someone, unless she is no longer here." Qin Xiaotian said: "You are young, don't brag!" Hey, I don't brag, I can go to Li Lanhui in the streets and alleys. Han Liuyun said: "You are a little brat, do you really have this ability?" The ugly old woman pondered for a while, thinking that this method was also feasible. If you really can't find it, you can also lock the search range. Wang Qishan muttered: "Li Lanhui, Lanhui, this name is also quite familiar. Qin Xiaotian saw that he was stunned, so he asked: "Qishan, don't be reckless if you can't find it, what's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack?" "How old is she?" What kind of person does she look like? How tall is she? The ugly old woman is annoyed, if I really know, I can go to her myself, but now I don't know if she is dead or alive? Wang Qishan went out, he sneaked around the street, and several beggars saw that he was wearing new clothes, so they stepped forward and asked him with a smile, "Have you made a fortune recently? Look at your dress, it's not the same as before!" Wang Qishan sneered: "Then you have no interest like you, and you will be a beggar for the rest of your life?" An old beggar snorted, "You kid has only been here for a few days, and you will be a good master." Wang Qishan smiled and took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the old beggar, "Grandpa, I ask you for something, can you help me!" The old beggar's eyes straightened, and he said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you kid just ask." "I want you to inquire about a girl named Li Lanhui. At the age of twenty, Wang Qishan made a comparison, and the old beggar had some score in his heart, and swore that "as long as she is in this town, even if she digs three feet into the ground, I will dig her out!" The old beggar squinted his eyes and went out. The old beggar came to the street, looked east, gathered together, and crowded wherever it was lively. He came to a lively place, it turned out to be an old man and his apprentice were performing arts, after the performance, the old man held a plate in his hand, walked towards the crowd of onlookers, raised his hand and bowed around, and said: "Friends, contemptible people and apprentices pass by your land, and the entanglement is exhausted, please raise your noble hands and reward a few small dollars." The old beggar was about to leave, when suddenly an old mother in the crowd said to a girl: "Lan Hui, let's go, these are all charlatans, go back to Yimenglou first." The old beggar was in his heart, and suddenly came to his senses, and followed him. The old mother and the girl came to the door of Yimenglou, and walked in without hesitation, the old beggar was troubled, he knew that Yimenglou was the most famous brothel in the town, and with his identity, he could not enter it at will. Because the girls where they will think he is dirty. After thinking about it, the old beggar simply came to the door of Yimenglou without doing anything, pretending to be pitiful, and said to everyone: "Girl, give me a few dollars, I haven't eaten for a few days." When the girls saw an old beggar begging for money coming to Yimenglou, they avoided him and ran into the room screaming. Suddenly, a girl ran out to watch, and when she saw that it was an old beggar, she smiled and said, "Are you here for fun?" The old beggar saw clearly that it was the girl named Lan Hui just now. My old beggar doesn't have that Yanfu, I'm here to find someone, do you have a girl named Li Lanhui in Yimenglou? The girl was stunned and said, "Who are you?" and shook her head with a red face, and said, "There is no one you are looking for here!" The old beggar was anxious, and ran forward and said, "Girl, is your name Lan Hui?" I heard the old lady call you that just now. The girl stopped, turned around and said, "Old man, you must have recognized the wrong person, I don't call Lan Hui!" The old beggar was even more anxious, thinking to himself: "I don't feel ashamed to beg for food as a beggar, but I feel shy in front of a **." The old beggar beat his chest and sighed: "It's really useless! How can I go back and explain to Wang Qishan?" The old beggar left Yimenglou in disappointment, and came back to explain to Qin Xiaotian and the others one by one. Wang Qishan pulled the old beggar aside and said, "If the things I told you to do are not done, return the money to me." "The old beggar quibbled, you kid is really lacking in morality, how can you return the money? I didn't do it this time, there will always be a next time, it's the stinky ** who ignores me, I at least have some knowledge of this matter. Wang Qishan said: "What's the score? Then my senior sister Li Lanhui didn't come back with you!" The old beggar foamed at the mouth, snorted, and said, "Who is your master? I'm not afraid?" The ugly old woman heard this truthfully, knowing that Wang Qishan was cheating, she coughed deliberately and said, "Qishan, what are you doing?" Qin Xiaotian smiled, "Mother-in-law, he is asking for money from his seniors! This is what Qishan is wrong." The old beggar saw that Qin Xiaotian was helping him speak, and his heart was much more steady. Said: "Hero, you judge me? This is clearly the little beggar bullying the old beggar." The crowd burst out laughing. Qin Xiaotian stepped forward to salute the old beggar and said, "Don't blame the seniors, I will definitely find Miss Li back for you." After dinner, a full moon hung on the treetops, Qin Xiaotian drank a glass of wine, deliberately pretended to be drunk, and staggered to the door of Yimenglou. He glanced at the bright Yimenglou a few times, and then walked straight in. When the girl from Yimenglou saw a drunk man crashing in, she stepped forward and sold coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "This master, are you here to have fun or have fun?" Can you let us accompany you?" Qin Xiaotian grinned, revealing a prodigal son's frivolous expression, and said: "You want to have fun, what about you?" Yo, "This young master, you are not a powerful person in the capital, but you like us." "It won't be today's Master Yuan, even if Master Yuan comes to our Yimenglou, he will pick us like this. Qin Xiaotian deliberately hiccuped, opened his mouth and fanned, looking like he was having an alcohol attack, "I'm not interested in you!" Hurry up and let you ** come out, I want to pick a charming girl. The girl didn't know what Qin Xiaotian was coming to, so she had to call **. After a while, ** walked out with a smile on his face, and said: "This young master, it seems that you are coming to our Yimenglou for the first time, so if you have any orders, just come to me." Qin Xiaotian raised his hand and said, "Presumably you are the boss of Yimenglou." ** laughed and said: "This world is not peaceful, just eat with a mouthful," Master, we have beautiful women in Yimenglou, you can choose it." Qin Xiaotian sneered and said, "I didn't expect the boss to be so refreshing, so I admired it." "Then I'll be blunt, I like your Lan Hui girl from Yimenglou. **Said: "Really?" I really admire this young master's vision, Miss Lan Hui is indeed the first sign of our Yimenglou, she is a real beauty in a hundred, but she is too stubborn, like an untamable horse. **stepped forward and looked at Qin Xiaotian carefully, seeing that he was handsome and outstanding, as if he was born as a powerful person, I didn't feel like it, but I didn't know what his identity was. Then he asked, "Master, you might as well report your name, and I can also tell Miss Lanhui." Qin Xiaotian said: "In the next Qin Xiaotian." Please also ask the boss Haihan!"** Unconsciously took a few steps back, and was anxious, and said: "It turned out to be Qin Daxia, fortunately, fortunately!" Qin Daxia is famous all over the rivers and lakes, and I don't know why he came to my Yimenglou. You came here to have fun, aren't you afraid that people in the rivers and lakes will laugh at you? Qin Xiaotian laughed a few times, "You have won the prize." "I, Qin Xiaotian, am a martial artist, and I also need love to nourish me. ** Smiled and grinned, "What Qin Daxia said is wonderful, I will hand over Lan Hui to you." ** took Qin Xiaotian to Lan Hui's room, and then excused himself and left. Only Lan Hui and Qin Xiaotian were left in the room, Lan Hui saw that Qin Xiaotian looked good, looked like a star, and liked it very much, so she asked: "This little brother, are you here to have fun?" Qin Xiaotian grinned, Miss Li is a stunning beauty, and when she finally saw Fang Rong today, she naturally had to find fun. Lan Hui asked in surprise, "How do you know that my surname is Li?" did the boss tell you?" Qin Xiaotian shook his head, "I guess, so you are Li Lanhui girl." "Lan Hui snorted, this is weird, even the ** of Yi Menglou doesn't know that my real name is Li Lanhui, how do you know? Lan Hui's girl's name is like thunder, how can you not know? Li Lanhui sneered a few times, you are not a righteous gentleman, you might as well say it bluntly. Qin Xiaotian pretended to be impatient, I can't wait, Miss Lan Hui, untie your clothes. Li Lanhui said suspiciously: "What do you want to do? I won't do this deal." "You're wrong, I, Li Lanhui, am not a kind of stinky and shameless **. Qin Xiaotian thought: "Such a strong woman is respectable and terrifying. Li Lanhui was not allowed to think about it, Qin Xiaotian grabbed her arms out, grabbed her waist and hugged her body, and she finally softened in the arms of this man. So she whispered in her ear, "Li Lanhui, I'll take you out of here, your mother is still waiting for you!" She suddenly came to her senses and said, "Who are you? How can you know my mother?" She stood up like a prostration, and said, "Little brother, is my mother still alive, is my mother really alive?" Yes, she is really still alive, that's great, where is she now? Can you take me there? With that, Li Lanhui followed Qin Xiaotian out of the room. **Seeing that Qin Xiaotian got the "first beauty" of Yimenglou in less than half an hour, I didn't feel impressed. But if you want to take her signboard out, she refuses. Then he came out to stop him: "Qin Daxia, you have to understand the rules of our Yimenglou, even if you fancy any girl, you can't take it away easily, unless you ・・・・・・・・・" Qin Xiaotian sneered a few times and said: "Whatever I Qin Xiaotian wants, I must get." He took out dozens of silver coins from his pocket and put them on the table, saying, "Boss, you should be satisfied." "I'm going to take Miss Li out of here. **Said: "Since it's what Qin Daxia likes, I admit it!" out of Yimenglou. Qin Xiaotian took Li Lanhui to the inn. Han Liuyun and the others had already rested, only the ugly old woman was not sleepy, Qin Xiaotian stepped forward and knocked on the door, only to hear the ugly old woman's old voice, and said, "Is it Qin Daxia? Qin Xiaotian pushed the door in, Li Lanhui followed, the ugly old woman sat at the table in a daze, she was holding a thing in her hand, and when she saw someone coming in, she hurriedly stuffed it into her pocket. "Sit down." "Mother-in-law, this is Miss Li. I brought her from Iamon Tower. Li Lanhui saw that the old lady was extremely ugly, and she was very disappointed, and out of courtesy, she raised her hand and said, "Hello mother-in-law, the girl says hello to you!" The ugly old woman smiled and nodded, and said, "The girl knows etiquette, how old is this year?" Li Lanhui said: "I am twenty-three this year, and my name is Li Lanhui." When she had finished answering, she was very unhappy, for she hated strangers asking questions, and when she first entered the house, she was disgusted by the face of the ugly old woman. Li Lanhui pretended to be tall, didn't ask or greet the ugly old woman, and looked at Qin Xiaotian coldly. I don't know how long it took for Li Lanhui to complain and ask, "Little brother, why did you bring me here?" and didn't give me money!" The ugly old woman said coldly: "Miss Li really likes money?" She reached out and pulled out a Ruyi jade pendant from her pocket. Li Lanhui said angrily: "What do you mean? A broken jade pendant, who is rare." "I have it too, and I also have a wishful jade pendant around my neck. The ugly old woman was pleasantly surprised: "Miss Li, take off your jade pendant and let me take a look?" I also gave half of my daughter back then, and I can recognize it by this thing in the future. Li Lanhui looked at her with disdain, and said, "If you like it, I can give it to you, I have a lot of broken things like this." Taking the Ruyi jade pendant, the ugly old woman embedded half of her in one place, and was not surprised. Combine with half of Li Lanhui to form "Definitely Ruyi". The other half was given to his daughter back then. She was overjoyed and said, "I have finally found you, daughter." She hugged Li Lanhui tightly into her arms, and Li Lanhui pushed her away in disgust, and said, "Why are you? The ugly old woman begged: "Hui'er, I am really your mother!" Don't you recognize me? Li Lanhui sneered a few times and said, "If you want me to recognize you, you can let Brother Qin worship heaven and earth with me." When Qin Xiaotian heard this, he thought to himself: "What's wrong with this Li Lanhui? Isn't it crazy!" The ugly old woman glanced at Qin Xiaotian, her eyes full of doubts and suspicions, "Boy, you didn't be rude to me Hui'er in Yimenglou." Qin Xiaotian was silent, "Aren't you Li Lanhui hurting me?" Han Liuyun, who was standing on the side, was anxious, and said, "Mother-in-law is asking you, are you pretending to be deaf and stupid?" "Brother Qin, just say it, is there such a thing?" Li Lanhui gloated and laughed a few times, "He slept with me, do you still need to be suspicious? I won't come to see you with a man without knowing anything!" At this moment, Han Liuyun felt dizzy, shook his hand in anger, and ran towards the door.
