Chapter 2: The Ignorant Teenager Establishes His Name at the Beginning of the Year (Part II)

"I see that you joined the Dragon and Tiger Gang in March last year, and this year's Stagecoach Xingdong, it seems that you are the first to arrive in Mi'an, and you must have something important to do. The www.biquge.info young man immediately added to the old man.

The man with the knife was just about to answer, but the short man took the lead: "It is indeed the gang that joined at that time, and I went with him." ”

When this man replied, he hid the "important matter", naturally he didn't want to talk about it, and then he whispered a few words in the ear of the knife-wielding man, only to see the two of them nod to each other, and then left in full disguise.

When the old man and young man saw that there was nothing to do, their hearts relaxed, and the people who watched the excitement dispersed. But the two men had just walked not far, and the man with the knife ran back again. He took out a bit of broken silver from his waist and put it on the table, and his face did not make people feel as fierce and vicious as before: "I also want to ask, what can I do in the gang in the future?"

When the young man heard this, his body leaned back slightly, it seemed that he was unwilling to reply, and the old man saw that the young man was like this, and he knew it, so he smiled and praised the man with the knife: "Not only is it a gang, Your Excellency will definitely be famous in all directions in the future, and he will be rich in a thousand warehouses." ”

The man with the knife burst out laughing, carried the knife on his shoulder with one hand, turned his head and ran after his brother.

"How can there be so many people who move from all over the world and are rich in a thousand warehouses, old man. The boy buried his head in his tone as if he was complaining, but his stomach began to rumble, and he felt that he had no strength to argue anymore.

When the old man heard this, he looked at him again and put away the stall: "Come with me, young man, and please invite me to eat something." Saying that, he opened the silver three or seven, gave the young man seven points, and kept three points for himself, "The last sentence, I calculated, don't take a little too much!"

The young man smiled when he heard this, he knew in his heart that he didn't want to tell that lie, so the money he got from lying was given to the old man, and his heart was much more comfortable, so he put away the rest of the money and followed the old man to a nearby restaurant.

At noon, the smoke curls in Mi'an City, and almost all the major restaurants and inns are doing thriving business, and there are naturally countless famous restaurants and famous spots in them. For example, in the east of the city, the signature dishes include scallion oil chicken, wild mushroom beef, Huayou three shrimp and golden scorpion stewed turtle.

The young man and the old man were both first-time visitors, neither of them drinking, nor could they finish their signature dishes at one time, so they ordered scallion oil chicken, wild mushroom beef, and a can of clear soup.

The two of them waited for the food, and each other had a lot to ask, and the old man raised his head: "Young man, who is your surname, and where is it?"

"My name is Yi Xiaozhi, and I am from Quanzhen in the northwest of Mi'an City, what about your age?" Yi Xiaozhi saw that it was rare to meet the old man like this, so he said bluntly.

"The old man's surname is Liu, his single name is a brocade character, and he is from Luozhen, which is adjacent to Quanzhen", Liu Jin has always kept smiling: "It seems that we are really half a fellow countryman." Ah, by the way, thank you so much for coming out to help the old man. ”

"Where, I'm also a helper." Yi Xiaozhi's words are half-true. Although they are all fortune-tellers, the number of roads is different, and it would be too bad to mention the difference between those portals at this moment.

The two felt that they didn't see each other, so they chatted casually.

Liu Jin said: "Who are you learning from, I see that you have a lot of hard work in calculating the passing years, and you can still push it to the month." ”

Yi Xiaozhi said: "I don't have a teacher, but there are some easy to learn miscellaneous books in the study of Mr. Teach in my hometown, I am very curious about this, so I studied and pondered by myself, and then slowly practiced it myself, and only after a few years did I have today's skills." ”

Liu Jin said: "Then you came to Mi'an, but you have relatives and friends, I see that you are also hungry, so I came here to have a good meal today." ”

Yi Xiaozhi said: "Except for you, old man, I don't know anyone here." Originally, I wanted to come to Mi'an to have a hard time, but I had no skills, I couldn't ask for work, and it backfired. I was disheartened and wanted to go back to my hometown, but occasionally I learned that there was an old fortune teller in the city, called 'Mi'an's first god counts', so I wanted to come and see the excitement when I was leaving, and then I ran into the previous thing. ”

Liu Jin said: "The old man made you laugh." Xiaozhi is self-taught, which really makes me admire. ”

Yi Xiaozhi said: "By the way, Old Man Liu, how did you get this 'Mi'an No. 1 Divine Calculation'." ”

Hearing this, Liu Jin quietly lowered his voice and said with a smile: "The main thing is that my old man is incapacitated, and he can't walk far, so he can only stay in Mi'an, if he can still be as young as you and have the strength to travel all over the world, I will change my name and call it 'the first god in the world'." ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them laughed. Then the meal came up, and the two began to talk while eating.

Yi Xiaozhi said: "Old man Liu, I think so, in the future, you will lend me this signboard, what do you think?"

Liu Jin said: "Okay, let's think of being old and young together, Xiaozhi, I don't think you have a place to live, if it's not too simple, it's better to live in my house!"

Yi Xiaozhi was overjoyed and said, "That's really good! Thank you, old man!" This word omitted Liu Jin's surname, which became more cordial.

In addition to the chicken itself is fresh and tender, plus the special scallion oil sauce, the taste is unique, the more you eat, the more you eat, the more you taste, but the salty is not dry tongue; the wild mushrooms of wild mushroom beef are only available in winter, and it takes a lot of effort to remove the sediment inside after being picked from the mountain, and then stewed with beef, the fragrance is overflowing, although there is not much beef in it, but it is enough to enhance the flavor, and the nutrition is nourishing. After eating these, I have a bowl of clear soup to suppress the taste, and the heating is flowing all over my body, which is really comfortable.

After the meal, the two of them were in high spirits, their faces were red, and they stretched out their bodies and walked out of the Ji Shi Building. Liu Jin thought that the two had a good conversation, so he didn't go to the stall in the afternoon, and directly led Yi Xiaozhi to rest at home.

Yi Xiaozhi helped Liu Jin take the stall and walk into the alley, and after a few people's houses, he saw a mud house. After entering the small courtyard, he put everything in the grass hut next to him, and went to the master's house, where Liu Jin had already made hot tea.

Liu Jin sat on the chair, holding the cup in both hands, and said kindly: "Xiaozhi, you are casual." ”

Yi Xiaozhi replied and sat down to rest. Thinking that it was cold in this house, an old man living alone here, it was too lonely, but he didn't want to ask more, after all, it was the old man's past, and since it was all gone, it was okay not to mention it.

Liu Jin saw that Yi Xiaozhi was flustered, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but it was inconvenient to disturb, so he took a sip of hot tea and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Yi Xiaozhi thought to himself: Is he unintentional now? Back then, he was just curious about Yi Xue's numerology, where did he think that he could use it to make a living today. Thinking of this, he smiled again, unconsciously slowly recalled what happened before, and asked casually: "Old man, what was the origin of the Dragon and Tiger Gang before?"

Liu Jin didn't open his eyes when he heard this, and only said slowly: "That's just a small gang over there in Xiaoqingshan." ”

Yi Xiaozhi said: "Xiaoqing Mountain is located in the southeast of Mi'an, which belongs to the boundary of Xiaofeng City, even if it doesn't sleep, it will take three days to travel, and it is really tiring to come so far to do things!"

Liu Jindao: "The old man also feels strange, recently there are often people from other gangs passing by on the street, and they are all from Xiaoqingshan, the Dragon and Tiger Gang is just one of them, as well as the Black Bear Gang, the Earth Lion Gang, the Swallowing Immortal Gang, and the rest can't remember." ”

Yi Xiaozhi said: "What are they going to do here?

Liu Jin said: "I don't see it. ”

Yi Xiaozhi was curious and said, "Old man, how long have you been in Mi'an, I see that you know a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes!

Liu Jin hummed and said: "It's okay, you haven't been in Mi'an for a long time, it's good to understand the situation in Mi'an City, although I haven't stayed in Mi'an for a long time, it's been seven or eight years, so I'll tell you about it!"

Yi Xiaozhi immediately took a sip of tea, and then listened attentively to Liu Jin's detailed discussion.

Liu Jindao: "There are three major forces in the territory of Mi'an City, inside the city are the Tianxiong Society and the Prison Sect, and outside the city is the Fan Sword Sect on Mixiang Mountain. Among them, the Fan Sword School is the largest sword school in the south of the Central Plains, and the Jianfeng Villa in the north is equally famous, with righteousness and exquisite swordsmanship, and has always been admired by decent people in the martial arts. As for the Tianxiong Society, it is also a decent military commander, with great wealth and power, and elites gathered; These forces are not something that can be caused by small gangs and factions coming together. ”

Yi Xiaozhi sighed: "I really want to see it if I have a chance." By the way, old man, why isn't there the number one sword sect in the world?"

Liu Jindao: "This is mainly at the peak of martial arts, the Fan Sword Sect and Jianfeng Villa have always been tied, or it is also said that they have not been able to meet, in short, they have not distinguished themselves, so there is no number one sword faction in the world." ”,

"Ordinary people may have heard of the peak of martial arts, which is held every four years on Qingkong Mountain, which is known as the highest peak in the Central Plains, and the martial arts spectrum is discharged according to the ranking, and the first one is respectfully called 'the first in the world'. The hero who has won the first in the world will not be able to participate in the martial arts summit in the future, and if he is defeated in the rivers and lakes in the future, the person who defeats him can directly inherit his name of "the first in the world". ”。

Yi Xiaozhi said: "Then according to this, there will be a number one in the world every four years, interesting, I don't know who set the rules." Then old man, what other forces are there on the rivers and lakes?"

Liu Jin said: "The old man can't tell the whole story. The north only knows that there is a Jianfeng Villa. In the south, there is also the Lingluo Sect of Xiaofeng City, and the entire Xiaofeng City is such a big force, which can really be seen here! The southernmost Tongxin City has the Yanyue Sect and the Douxing Palace, so you know this. ”

After hearing this, Yi Xiaozhi was thoughtfully surprised: "Wow, there are so many sects, I will also build a sect another day to play." After speaking, he laughed to himself, and then asked: "Old man, I have always been curious, how do these people in the rivers and lakes usually make a living?

Liu Jin said: "Of course, the people of the rivers and lakes also have to eat! Now, those big forces generally run a few big businesses in their own homes, such as the Fan Sword Sect, which has many fields and properties at the foot of Mixiang Mountain, and many rice shops, which have their share to a greater or lesser extent; the Tianxiong Society is mainly engaged in merchants, gold, silver and jade; and the Liujiao Pavilion is engaged in gambling houses, Qinglou, and the southeast side of the city is their land. Other small gangs are either dependent on the big forces or self-sufficient, but not on a large scale. ”

Yi Xiaozhi nodded, as if he understood something, and said: "It seems that it is more important to make money, I must work hard to make money in the future, and make a lot of money, um!" As he spoke, his lips pursed unconsciously, and his eyes sparkled, as if he had seen some wonderful scene.

Liu Jin looked strange and asked, "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, what are you smirking at alone?"

Yi Xiaozhi came back to his senses at this time, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, but it was not easy to explain, and he thought: After all, fortune telling can make a few bucks! Thinking of this, he asked Liu Jindao again: "Old man, you have been in Mi'an for seven or eight years, is it only today that you have missed?"

Liu Jin only opened his eyes at this time and replied, "There have been some misses, but don't worry." ”

Yi Xiaozhi asked, "Why?"

Liu Jin added hot water to the tea and replied, "You'll know later!"

The two had a good conversation, and time passed quickly. At night, Yi Xiaozhi slept in the firewood room next to him, the bed quilt was very thick, and he had not had a good rest for a long time, so he was finally able to sleep steadily. He lay on the bed, looked around, a little moonlight outside the window was slightly illuminated, dimly listening to the breeze blowing over the wall, gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.
