"This bow old man has been collected for many years, the name is called Yangyou, which is used by the Spring and Autumn Chu State Yangyouji, and has been handed down for thousands of years. There have been many knights throughout the ages, and there are very few who can draw this bow. Just now Deggin said that a strong man can penetrate a stone lion with a single stone, which is really a divine power, so the old man also opened his eyes. ”

Although Zhang San has lived in the mountains since he was a child, he has never really used a bow and arrow, but when he saw that the back of this bow was black and shining, he couldn't help but secretly praise a good bow. The bow weighed seventy or eighty pounds, and he walked over and held it in his hand. Several people present were surprised to see him so powerful, and two little maids even exclaimed. Zhang San held the bow in his left hand, and pulled it with his right hand, turned his head and saw that Chen Yuanwai's face was full of surprise, and he pulled it five or six times in one breath, until beads of sweat oozed slightly on his forehead, and then he stopped.

"Good!good!good!" The old man praised three times in a row, applauded: "Strong man, there are many offenses to the right talents, and I still look at Haihan." Then he said: "The old man's surname is Chen, and he is the master here." After the disappearance of the little girl, people often came to help the old man find his daughter, but none of them succeeded. Seeing the young age of the strong man just now, this is a little offended, and I hope to forgive me. By the way, I don't know what to call a strong man?"

Zhang San smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, in the next Zhang San, Chen Yuan is good." ”

"Zhang San, the strong man is the third in the family?" Chen Yuanwai said with a smile.

"I don't have any brothers and sisters, so my name is Zhang San. ”

"I see. Chen Yuanwai nodded slightly and said, "In the future, the old man will call the strong man Brother Zhang for the time being, what do you think?" Zhang San nodded yes. Chen Yuanwai smiled and said, "Brother Zhang hasn't eaten yet, right?" and instructed the family: "Dejin, tell me to go down and prepare a banquet immediately, I will entertain Brother Zhang well tonight." The man named Dejin nodded in agreement, and went down to Zhang Luo.

During the banquet, Chen Yuanwai took Zhang San's hand and kept asking long and short questions, asking Zhang San's martial arts for a while, and asking Zhang San's life experience for a while. Zhang San originally wanted to ask the other party about Pei Manzhen's whereabouts, but when he thought that he hadn't made an inch of merit yet, how could he be embarrassed to mention it, so he talked to him without a match. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chen Yuanwai saw that Zhang San had eaten almost enough, and sent someone to show him a portrait of his daughter. Zhang San saw that the person in the painting was slender, sixteen or seventeen years old, and had a good appearance, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Chen Yuanwai said: "This is the little girl Chen Rongying, who suddenly disappeared five days ago, and the old man asked friends all over the rivers and lakes, but he still couldn't find a trace. If Brother Zhang can find the little girl, the old man is willing to give a thousand taels of silver as a reward. Zhang San didn't answer, he just thought about this woman so familiar, where had she seen it. Chen Yuanwai saw that his face was expressionless, and for some reason, he called out again: "Brother Zhang?" Zhang San relieved himself and responded, and then said: "Don't worry, I will rest for one night, and I will go to find the whereabouts of Miss tomorrow." ”

Zhang San couldn't sleep this night, and he just thought about where he had seen Miss Chen. He has lived in the mountains with his mother since he was a child, and he has never been far away, even if he occasionally goes out, he only goes to Yanjing City, and this time he came to such a far place in order to find Pei Manzhen. Miss Chen is so handsome, if she had seen it before, she would have had an impression, but she really can't remember it at all, but for some reason, she always felt that this woman should have been seen recently, but when was it?

Early the next morning, a little maid came in to serve Zhang San to get up, and when he walked by, the local sound was very pleasant, and Zhang San asked what the sound was. The maid smiled and said, "It's this." As he spoke, he pulled out the small bell around his waist. Zhang San's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he felt that this bell was also familiar, and asked, "Is there anyone else in your house who wears this thing?" "No" The little maid said: "This is given to me by Miss, I grew up with Miss since I was a child, and she treated me like a sister, so she gave me one of her favorite pair of bells." I thought that I thought of Miss when I mentioned the past, and when I said it, my voice was a little choked.

Zhang San suddenly realized that Miss Chen had indeed seen it herself, that is, she saw it yesterday in a tavern in a small town not far away, and there were five or six girls in purple clothes with her. Thinking of this, Zhang San immediately got dressed and got up, and rushed out of the room as if flying. The little maid had just made a wash of face and was about to bring it, and when she saw Zhang San running away, she shouted: "Zhang Gongzi!" Zhang Santou threw down a sentence without looking back: "Tell your master, I'm going to find your young lady!" When she reacted, Zhang San had already run away.

Zhang San went straight to the town, he had practiced a good pair of legs and feet since he was a child, and he arrived at the tavern a few days ago after a while. At this time, it was not yet noon, there were not many diners in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper and shopkeeper had nothing to do, Zhang San walked in and called the shopkeeper and asked, "Little second brother, do you remember me? Xiao Er stared at him for a long time before he smiled and said, "How can you not be impressed, how are you a guest officer?" Zhang San nodded and said, "Little Second Brother, I want to ask you, do you remember the women who had dinner at the same time as me yesterday? That is, five or six people wearing purple clothes and one wearing white clothes. "How could you not be impressed, those female guest officers are all beautiful, and the villain took a few glances at that time. Xiao Er said, "Guest officer, are you looking for them? They left after eating yesterday. ”

Zhang San walked out of the tavern, vaguely remembering that a woman in purple had said that they were going west, and they couldn't go far in the time of this day, so they decided to go all the way to the west, thinking that maybe they could find Miss Chen today.

Zhang Sanxiao stayed overnight, heading westward, but on the road was not a day, after the mountains and forests, this day he saw another small town, he first walked in the rivers and lakes, all the scenery is never seen in his life, although he was busy looking for people, but the mood was also very comfortable, walking up and walking is also tiger and tiger wind, at this moment more and more fast, only to feel the wind whistling in the ears, the houses and trees do not stop regressing, he himself may not know that this is not actually how good his foot strength is, but since he was a child, he has unconsciously practiced the upper light skills. After running for a long time, he ran straight to the Heishui River outside the town, and then stopped to rest at a tea stall on the side of the road. At this time, the weather is sweltering, and the stall owner is a kind old man, who sits leisurely under the tree with a pampas fan to shade him. The old man saw that Zhang San was covered with sweat, so he smiled and motioned him to take care of himself. Zhang San drank seven or eight bowls of herbal tea in one go, and then quenched his thirst. Before leaving, I wanted to throw down a few coppers, but when I touched my pocket, I realized that I didn't have any money with me. In the past few days, he has spent all his time in the mountains and forests, relying on hunting some game and eating some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and he never thought that the coils he was carrying would have been exhausted before he arrived at Chen's mansion. At this time, his face was embarrassed, he looked back at the old man, and saw that the old man was closing his eyes to recuperate, so he walked over and called softly: "Uncle." Seeing that the old man was silent, he screamed again, and then he heard the old man snoring, and it turned out that he was asleep. Zhang San thought that if he left, he would not have to pay attention to the tea money, but it was not a gentleman's doing, so he returned to his seat alone, wanting to wait for the old man to wake up and explain. He was originally a petty thief, and when he was a child, he did some things like chickens and dogs when he was hungry, stealing two steamed buns and a baked cake, but since he met Pei Manzhen, he heard her tell a lot of stories about the rivers and lakes, and he was determined to be an upright person, so his habits have changed a lot. Zhang San looked up at the sky, saw that the sun was poisoning, all the way to the west in the past few days, and asked passers-by, the direction he was walking was correct, thinking that it was not far from the time he found Miss Chen, and he was not in a hurry for this moment, so he sat there quietly and waited for the old man to wake up.
