Out of Hangzhou to the west, there is a small town, called Muniu Town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Niniu Town is a small place, but it is a necessary place to go out of Hangzhou to Jiangnan Road. Jiangnan Road and Liangzhejiang Road are the richest places in the Great Song Dynasty, and the richest place in the Great Song Dynasty is the richest place in the world.

The most lively place in Niniu Town is the Chunniu Restaurant in the town, not because of how delicious the food is, but because there is only such a decent restaurant in this town. The giants and wealthy businessmen who come and go can only come here to eat something good in Niniu Town, so there is never a shortage of guests in Chunniu Restaurant.

Of course, in addition to being able to eat something good, there is another reason why some people come to Chunniu Restaurant, that is, Chunniang. Chunniang is the shopkeeper of Chunniu Restaurant, who is both smart and capable, but also charming and beautiful. In a small place like Niniu Town, there can be a beauty like Chun Niang, which will naturally make those travelers who are away all the year round want to eat a few bites of food in this Chun Niu Restaurant and take a few more glances at Chun Niang.

"It's another sunny day today!" Chun Niang thought while drawing the abacus, "It's not dark yet, and more than 30 taels of silver have been earned, and there are more guests at night, so it's a whole day, oops......" Chun Niang couldn't help humming a little song when she thought of the white flowers.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, that person, that person he's here again!" Xiao Er went upstairs in a panic and shouted at Chun Niang. "Look at you like that, slow down, who is it?" Chun Niang glanced at Xiao Er and asked while fiddling with the ledger. "It's the man who led the child, the poor ghost who can eat a bowl of noodles all night!" Xiao Er said.

When Chunniang heard this, a nameless fire arose in her heart, threw the account book on the table, and said with apricot eyes: "Damn, poor ghost, come to entertain the old lady again, how many days have you been, you only order a bowl of noodles every night, and then occupy a table to be the uncle, and don't let others sit with him! There are more places where you can eat soup cakes in Muniu Town, so you have to come to Chunniulou to eat, and you will block the old lady! I have to drive him out today! What about people?"

"Now, as soon as I saw him come in, I hurried over to you, and I guess I've already sat down by this time. Xiao Er replied.

"Go down and have a look!"

Chun Niang stuffed the account book into the counter and took Xiao Er downstairs.

Downstairs, sure enough, a man with a little girl was sitting at a table in the middle of the hall. Chun Niang was angry when she saw it, and she didn't care about the other guests greeting her, and walked straight to the man with her skirt.

"Guest, what should you eat?" asked Chunniang with a smile.

"A bowl of noodles, don't—"

"No chopped green onions, no meat, more soup, right?"

"Yes, there is a shopkeeper of Lao. The man bowed his hand to Chunniang and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay-two coins of silver!" Chun Niang slapped the table with her right hand, and then stretched out her left hand and spread it in front of the man.

The man exclaimed, "You charge me two coins for a bowl of noodles?" Isn't it usually three dollars, why did it become two dollars today?"

Chun Niang pointed to the man's nose and said: "Sanwen money? Sanwen money is noodle money! Do you know how much I have lost when you have been here these days? Charging you two coins of silver is considered polite to you! I don't care if you eat noodles here, but you and this child can eat a bowl of noodles until my restaurant closes, what a joke! Don't let others sit at the same table with you, you poor ghost has such a big shelf! There are stalls selling noodles outside, if you think I'm selling them expensive, don't eat at my place!"

Chun Niang shouted, and everyone in the lobby looked over. The man was already ashamed of being counted by Chun Niang, and when he saw so many people, he wished that there was a crack in the ground that he could get into. The man was anxious and annoyed, he really wanted to punch Chunniang, but hitting a woman was not something he could do, and he wanted to pull out his legs and go to another house to eat, but he felt that he had lost the identity of the girl next to him, and he was sorry for the girl's family. For a while, the man didn't know what to do, so he messed up and sat there.

"Brother Ping, let's go, I told you a long time ago that it's the same wherever you eat. The little girl tugged at the man's sleeve and whispered. The girl still had a string of bells tied to her hand, and when she pulled the man's clothes, the bells made a crisp sound.

"Sister, I'm ......" The man looked at the girl, the words choked in his throat but couldn't speak.

"What, what are you rubbing, don't you want to leave? Could it be that I want someone to bomb you out?" Chun Niang shouted with her hands on her hips.

The man stood up and was about to leave, but he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Shopkeeper, I paid for the money for these two people's meals!" Everyone looked for the sound, but saw three people walking into the lobby of the restaurant, one of them was a young man with a big knife on his back, wearing a purple shirt, a man and a woman on both sides were dressed in white, holding a long sword, and they all seemed to be people in the martial arts.

The three people who walked in were Ah Fei, Zhou Kun and Zhang Yuting.

Why did they come to the Chunniu Restaurant? It turned out that the little young master Ah Fei was hungry and wanted to eat something good.

These three people and Qin Zun set off from Yujiazhuang in the morning, rushed for a day's journey, and arrived at Niniu Town before sunset. Ah Fei had never hurried by in such a hurry, making him tired and hungry, and when he was resting at noon, he and Zhou Kun ate all the pastries given by Yu Wanting - a package of dim sum Qin Zun and Zhang Yuting only ate one or two pieces, and the rest was all for Ah Fei and Zhou Kun to eat. As soon as he arrived in Niniu Town, Ah Fei yelled for something to eat, and Qin Zun had no choice but to take everyone to ask for four bowls of noodles at the roadside noodle restaurant. But how can the soup cakes in the roadside stalls in small places taste as delicious as the dishes of Hangzhou's big households, Ah Fei didn't eat a few bites and thought it was not good, and asked the owner of the noodle restaurant to know that the best place in Niniu Town was the Chunniu Restaurant, so Ah Fei wanted to invite a few people to eat at the Chunniu Restaurant.

Zhou Kun was originally a delicious person, and as soon as he heard Ah Fei say this, he immediately agreed. After all, Zhang Yuting is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, so lively, as soon as she heard that Chunniu Restaurant is the best restaurant in the town, she wanted to follow and take a look, and agreed. Qin Zun didn't want to go because he couldn't get used to Ah Fei's style, but when he saw that his younger brothers and sisters were all happy, he deduced that the noodles had been ordered and could not be wasted, so the two of them went to the Chunniu Restaurant with Ah Fei, stayed and ate these bowls of noodles by himself, and waited here for them to come back by the way.

Zhou Kun and Zhang Yuting saw Qin Zun nodding and hurriedly followed Ah Fei to Chunniu Restaurant, and as soon as they arrived at the door, the three of them could hear the noise inside. Ah Fei heard that Chunniang was speaking aggressively, and he was unhappy, so he wanted to stand up for this man and destroy Chunniang's prestige, so he shouted out Fang Cai's words.

Chun Niang was angry, and when she heard this, she turned her head suddenly, and when she saw that there were three people coming in, she shouted: "Who said that you want to pay this poor ghost?"

Ah Fei arched his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, I said it." ”

Seeing that the person who was talking was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old hairy boy, Chun Niang snorted and said, "Two coins of silver and a bowl of noodles, little brother, pay for it!"

Ah Fei frowned and said: "Two coins of silver for a bowl of noodles, a little expensive, people say that this Spring Cow Restaurant is very good, sure enough, a bowl of noodles can be sold for two dollars of silver, presumably the toppings of this noodle are all made of seafood and mountain delicacies." ”

Chun Niang said: "It's just an ordinary bowl of noodles, and there are no ingredients! Why, do you pay for these two coins of silver? If you don't pay it, get out of here, don't hinder the old lady from doing business!"

Ah Fei smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, you ordinary people sell a bowl of noodles for two dollars of silver, do you think everyone is a fool? But don't say it's two dollars of silver, it's two taels of silver for a bowl, and I can afford to pay for twenty taels of silver." With that, Ah Fei took out a silver ingot from his bosom and put it on the table.

"But if the two coins are only used to eat noodles, isn't it a bit unconvertible, shopkeeper, I want to order something else for this big brother to taste, I don't know if it's okay?" Ah Fei continued.

Chun Niang saw Ah Fei take out a silver ingot and put it on the table, thinking that a rich man had come, and immediately turned her anger into joy: "Yes, yes!

Ah Fei said: "If there is anything delicious, go on it, shopkeeper, this ingot of silver belongs to you." ”

Chun Niang hurriedly took the silver ingot in her hand and said, "Xiao Er, hurry up and bring good wine and food to a few guest officers!"

Zhou Kun heard Na Chunniang shouting, "Good wine and good food", and pulled Ah Fei and said: "Brother Ah Fei, we have to hurry tomorrow, and Senior Brother will not let us eat wine." Ah Fei said well, so he asked the man: "This big brother, do you want to eat wine?" The man said in a low voice: "Little brother, it's good to have food to eat, and I won't eat the wine, thank you." Ah Fei nodded and said to Chun Niang: "Shopkeeper, there is no need for wine, there is more to eat." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Xiao Er, the guests at this table don't drink, give these guests more fish and meat, so that they can entertain the guests!" Chun Niang said as she twisted her waist and went upstairs. Xiao Er's movements were also quick, and as soon as Chun Niang's voice fell, she had already brought out a few plates of cooked food.

When the man saw Chunniang go upstairs, he stood up and knelt down to Ah Fei and bowed: "The villain Zhao Ping thanks the little boy for his help, and the villain is grateful." I don't know if the little boy can tell the honorable surname, the villain will be a good student in the future, and he will always read it and pray for the little boy. ”

Ah Fei hurriedly helped Zhao Ping up and said: "I just saw that mother-in-law was too deceitful, so I wanted to save you, why do you bother to make such a big gift." You are a big man who salutes me like this, aren't you afraid that others will see it and laugh at you? If you ask me my name, my name is Yu Fei, and you can call me Ah Fei. This is Zhou Kun and this is Zhang Yuting, both of whom are high apprentices of Zhang Daxia in Yunzhuang. ”

Zhao Ping arched his hand and said: "It turns out that a few of them are young heroes from Yunzhuang, thank you for helping." Zhang Yuting looked at Ah Fei and said with a smile: "This little boy is not the young man of our Yunzhuang, he is the little master of Yujiazhuang in Hangzhou." Zhou Kun said: "Yes, this is the daughter of Yunzhuang, this is the young master of Yujiazhuang, and I am just an ordinary disciple of Yunzhuang." Saying that, Zhou Kun tore a chicken leg and handed it to the girl next to Zhao Ping, and then tore another chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

When Zhao Ping heard this, he suddenly stood up again, and was about to bow down, but Ah Fei hurriedly stopped when he saw this. The girl next to Zhao Ping said: "Brother Ping, my father often says, 'A man has gold under his knees', why do you always have to kneel?" Zhao Ping said: "Sister, these are all chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes, I have something to ask for, and I can't care so much." Zhang Yuting heard this and said curiously: "Brother Zhao, what are you asking us for, you can sit down and talk while eating." ”

Zhao Ping sat down and said, "You are all walking around the rivers and lakes, I don't know if you have ever heard of the Thirteen Water Gangs of Dongting Lake?" Ah Fei and Zhang Yuting heard Zhao Ping's question, and they both looked at Zhou Kun. Although Zhao Ping said that they were "walking around the rivers and lakes", in fact, this trip to Hangzhou Yujiazhuang was Zhang Yuting's first real trip to the rivers and lakes. Not to mention Xiao Ah Fei, this is also his first time walking the rivers and lakes. This "Dongting Lake Thirteen Water Gang" Ah Fei and Zhang Yuting have never heard of it, and among the three of them, Zhou Kun has the most experience in the rivers and lakes, so both of them couldn't help but look at Zhou Kun.

That week, Kunben was sucking chicken bones with taste, and when he saw both of them looking at him, he couldn't help but stop talking. In fact, this Dongting Thirteen Waters helped him, and Zhou Kun had never heard of it. Zhou Kun rarely walked around the rivers and lakes before, because his swordsmanship was outstanding among the disciples, many times Zhou Kun was responsible for sending those knights from the rivers and lakes who came to challenge Zhang Fangzhou on Baiyun Peak. In the past two years, due to the great progress of the sixth junior brother Zhong Shidao and the seventh junior brother Fang Jin's martial arts, the matter of sending those challengers was handed over to these two people, Zhou Kun had the opportunity to go out and walk the rivers and lakes, but there were not a few times in total, and most of them went with Qin Zun. Although Zhou Kun didn't know what Zhao Ping was talking about, he didn't want to admit in front of everyone that he still had little experience in the rivers and lakes, so he replied vaguely: "Well, this, I've heard of this, I've heard of it, I've heard of it, Dongting Thirteen Water Gang, this reputation...... Far and wide, famous, hehe, hehe. ”

When Zhang Yuting heard Zhou Kun say this, she knew that he probably didn't know, so she squeezed her eyebrows at him and winked at him, and made a grimace and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, you don't know, right?" Zhou Kun's face turned red and he didn't answer her. Zhao Ping didn't pay attention to this, and then said: "Well, it is indeed famous, although the name of the Thirteen Water Gangs of Dongting Lake includes Dongting Lake, it is actually an alliance of all the water gangs on Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road, but the main rudder is located in Dongting Lake." This little girl is the female doll of Zhao Laolongtou, the chief scoop of the Dongting Thirteen Water Gang, named Zhao Ling. When Zhao Ling heard Zhao Ping mention her, she raised her hand and said, "Everyone calls me 'Little Bell'." As he spoke, he shook the string of bells that were tied to his wrists.

As soon as these words came out, the three of them couldn't help but be surprised, who would have thought that the well-behaved little girl next to Zhao Ping would be the daughter of the leader of the Lianglu Water Gang. Zhou Kun's scalp suddenly went numb, thinking that this thing that Zhao Ping wanted to ask for trust would probably not be easy.

"Brother Zhao, what are you asking us for?" Ah Fei asked.

Zhao Ping touched the little bell's head and said, "The villain wants to ask a few young heroes to send the bell girl to Mingzhou to find her eldest brother." Zhao Laolongtou had an emergency a few months ago and went there in a few days. As soon as he died, the little dragon heads of the Thirteen Gangs of Dongting competed to be the old dragon heads, and they fought fiercely, but no one cared about Zhao Lao Longtou's family. Zhao Laolong's previous enemies took this opportunity to come to the door and wanted to harm Laolongtou's family. I happened to learn about this that day, thinking of the old dragon's old kindness, so I found a few friends to go to the rescue, how could we have a few low martial arts, only to save this little girl out. We learned that her eldest brother Zhao Yong was wandering around the Sanjiangkou area of Mingzhou, so we took her all the way east. Along the way, we were attacked by several more groups, and by the time we arrived in this mud cow town, there were only two of us left. The villain really doesn't know what to do, if he encounters the enemy on the road ahead, I really can't protect the bell girl by myself, so I have been in this mud cow town for more than ten days, hoping to ask for help from a few heroes here. I had to see a few young heroes today, and the villain dared to ask a few people who could save this girl and send her to her eldest brother, and it was not in vain that my brothers gave their lives on the road. ”

When Zhou Kun heard this, he thought: "What Zhao Ping asked for is really not easy, and the slightest carelessness may cost him his life, but the master usually teaches me to do more chivalrous things, and I should save this orphan girl." It's just that this matter still needs to be decided by the second senior brother, and he can't make a decision without permission. So Zhou Kun kept silent and just cared about eating there.

Ah Fei listened to Zhao Ping's words, rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me, I will definitely protect you and the two of you!" Zhang Yuting also clapped her hands on the side and said: "Yes, not only will I send you to Mingzhou, but I will also personally send this little sister to his eldest brother." Brother Zhao, don't worry!" Zhao Ping heard this, and said happily: "Thank you for a few young heroes......! My brothers can look at each other. When he said this, Zhao Ping's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Zhou Kun heard the words of the two, his throat tightened, and he almost choked on the food he ate. Zhou Kun stroked his chest, and said smoothly: "Wait a minute, junior sister, you will agree?" or tell the second senior brother, and he will decide." Also, Brother Ah Fei, don't you still have a letter to hand over to my master? Let's turn back and head east to Mingzhou like this, but we will delay the trip. ”

Zhao Ping heard this and knew that Zhou Kun was unwilling to help, so he looked at Ah Fei and Zhang Yuting for help. But Zhao Ping was already panicked in his heart, because Ah Fei was still just a child after all, and that Zhang Yuting was Zhou Kun's junior sister, and she didn't seem to be the one who could call the shots. Ah Fei frowned and looked at Zhou Kundao: "Brother Zhou, it's not right for you to say this, we naturally have to do chivalrous things when we walk the rivers and lakes." Can we see that the two of them are in trouble and do not come to the rescue, wouldn't that have ruined the reputation of Yunzhuang and Yujiazhuang? I think that even if we delay our trip for a few days in doing chivalrous things, the owner of Zhang Zhuang will not blame them. Sister Xiaoyu, are you right about what I said?" After that, Ah Fei looked at the little bell again, only to see that the girl kept blinking at herself, but she didn't speak silently, so she smiled at her.

Zhang Yuting said: "Yes, Xiao Afei is right, Fifth Senior Brother, I don't think Daddy will blame us." It's a big deal to give him a letter, and the prophet will give him a voice. People have called you 'Shaoxia' several times, don't you have to show some Shaoxia?" Zhou Kun shook his head and said: "Alas, forget it, in fact, I didn't say that I disagreed with this matter, I just felt that it was a little inappropriate for us to make up our own minds." Let's eat quickly, and go to the second senior brother after eating, after all, this matter is not a small matter, let him decide. But I don't think the second senior brother will refuse. ”

"That is, is the reputation of the second son of Yunzhuang Qin shouted out of vain? The second senior brother will definitely agree. Zhang Yuting smiled, "Let's go to Mingzhou tomorrow - by the way, Brother Zhao, is there a sea in Mingzhou?"

Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhang Yuting to suddenly ask such a question: "Yes, there seems to be a port for sea boats in Sanjiangkou." Zhao Ping ate two bites of food and asked: "The second son of Qin you are talking about is Qin Zun Qin Gongzi, one of the 'Four Sons of Martial Arts'?" Zhang Yuting said: "Yes, how do you know?" Zhao Ping said: "We have a big martial arts faction called the Xiaoxiang faction there, and the eldest son of their head Jiang Sanshao is also one of the 'Four Sons of Martial Arts', so I have heard my friends mention this 'Four Sons of Martial Arts', and I have heard of the name of Qin Gongzi of Yunzhuang." ”

Ah Fei heard the term "Four Sons of Martial Arts" for the first time, and felt fresh and asked: "What are the 'Four Sons of Martial Arts'?" Zhao Ping said: "'Four Sons of Martial Arts' is the name of the four young sons in today's martial arts who can be called dragons and phoenixes in the martial arts by all the chivalrous guests on the rivers and lakes. These four are Qin Zun Qin's second son of Yunzhuang, Jiang Sanshao Jiang of the Xiaoxiang faction, Hua Qianhua of the Hua family of the Daimyo Mansion, and Ma Lin Ma of the Tianwang Gang, these people are all well-known figures among today's young people in martial arts. ”

Ah Fei heard Zhao Ping mention that Ma Lin of the Tianwang Gang was also among the "Four Sons of Martial Arts", and remembered that his grandfather had said that his father and eldest brother died in the hands of Wu Renyi, the elder of the Tianwang Gang, thinking that Ma Lin was a member of the Tianwang Gang, and it might not be a good thing, so he felt that the "Four Sons of Martial Arts" was not much better, so he snorted and said casually: "Compared with the former playboy, I'm afraid it's still worse." ”

Zhang Yuting smiled when she heard Ah Fei say this: "Little Ah Fei, who is that flower heart you are talking about, why is the name so strange?" Ah Fei said: "Don't you know? I heard my grandfather say that thirty years ago, that playboy was known as 'the first romantic figure in martial arts', he knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, and he had a good martial arts, and he also had a lot of money, no one on the rivers and lakes did not envy him." You think, now you want to evaluate a 'fourth son', it is four people, but thirty years ago, people directly said that the playboy was the 'first in martial arts' and there was no one who was on par with him at all, isn't this flowery heart much stronger than the four people who are evaluated now?" Zhang Yuting said: "What kind of crooked reasoning are you talking about, but I didn't expect that there is such a senior master in the martial arts, and he should have been born decades earlier to take a look." Zhao Ping also said yes again and again.

Zhou Kun chewed the pig's trotter in his hand and said, "You listened to his nonsense, and you took it seriously." Thirty years ago, we weren't even born, but how do we know if there really is such a person. This man can have everything, doesn't God take too much care of him? If there really is such a perfect person, how can we never hear anyone say it? Brother Ah Fei, you don't want to be happy with us. The little bell on the side suddenly interjected: "Maybe there really is such a person?" Zhang Yuting said: "No, there are many strange things on the rivers and lakes, how do you know that it is fake." Zhou Kun said: "Alas, anyway, I have never heard Master mention it, if you want to believe it, you can believe it." ”

Ah Fei knew that Zhou Kun didn't believe it, so he said: "I'll tell you anyway, believe it or not." With that, he shoved a few pieces of meat into his mouth and said nothing more.
