5. There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and there is no chance to meet on the other side
The unwise monk was right, even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were still many boats moored by the ferry. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Ah Fei and the unwise monk found a passenger boat, traced the river, all the way safely, and successfully arrived in Yuezhou on the shore of Dongting Lake.
After getting off the boat, Ah Fei and the unwise monk immediately entered a restaurant, and before they could sit down, they had already beckoned the shopkeeper to roast chicken and steamed pork. The shopkeeper saw that the two of them wanted meat dishes, so he squinted his eyes and secretly glanced at the unwise monk, thinking that this monk had also opened meat, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he just served the dishes according to the instructions of the guests.
Ah Fei looked at the delicious food on the table, and said with a smile: "Great monk, the two of us have eaten dry food on the boat for the past two days, and we have eaten dry, and today we can finally dip some oil and water." ”
The unwise monk sandwiched two large pieces of fat meat and put them in the bowl and said: "There is nothing good to eat on that boat, I really sat aggrieved, but fortunately, it was only a few meals, and I endured it and passed." ”
"That is, you said that there was not even a single fish on the boat, so I knew that I should buy a few salted fish before I got on the boat. Ah Fei took a bite of the roast chicken and complained.
The big monk smiled: "That's not it, eat quickly, it's cold, the food is cold quickly, and it's not delicious if it's cold." ”
After that, the two of them were silent, just eating meat with their heads bored, and in a few moments they swept away the chickens, ducks and fish on the table.
Ah Fei held a chicken bone in his mouth, touched his stomach, looked at the unwise monk's unfinished appearance, and wondered if he wanted to order something to eat, but he heard a person outside the door say very arrogantly: "Little Er, fill my wine bag with it!"
Ah Fei followed the prestige and saw a man carrying a wine bag swaggering into the store.
"Alas, it's Second Master Liu, I'll give you a drink!" As soon as the shopkeeper saw the man, he immediately sneered.
"Well, you are more nimble, and by the way, call your shopkeeper, I have something to look for him. Second Master Liu found an empty table and sat down, handed the wine bag to the shopkeeper, and said loudly on his feet.
"Good, good. The shopkeeper should accept it, and then lifted the curtain and entered the kitchen.
Ah Fei looked at Second Master Liu's appearance and said to the unwise monk: "Great monk, this person doesn't look like a good person at first glance. When he sits there, it makes people feel so unhappy. ”
The unwise monk glanced at Second Master Liu, patted Ah Fei's shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Ah Fei, we have just arrived in Yuezhou, and we haven't figured out the situation yet, don't make trouble." ”
"Well, I know, I'm just talking to you. Ah Fei nodded, "Have you eaten enough?"
"That...... Have you eaten enough?" the unwise monk smiled and asked Ah Fei in turn.
"I'm full, but I'm so slippery that I want to eat more. ”
"Then let's have another plate of roast chicken!"
"Okay!" Ah Fei saw Xiao Er coming out of the kitchen, so he shouted: "Xiao Er, let's have another plate of roast chicken!"
"Okay!" the shopkeeper responded, turned his head and shouted at the kitchen: "A plate of roast chicken!" Then he handed the full wine bag to Liu Erye, and said with a smile: "Second master, your wine." ”
Second Master Liu shook the wine bag, nodded and said, "Well, that's good." What about your shopkeeper?"
"I have already called the shopkeeper, and he will be there soon, and he will be there soon. ”
"You go and urge him again, I don't have the spare time to spend here with him. Second Master Liu frowned and said impatiently.
"Alas, good, good. The shopkeeper smiled bitterly twice, and then went to ask the shopkeeper again.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out with two plates of roast chicken, one plate was placed on the table on Ah Fei's side, and the other plate was placed on the second master Liu, and said to him with a smile: "Second master, don't be impatient, our shopkeeper is here." ”
Second Master Liu looked at the roast chicken and nodded slightly: "Well, then I'll wait for him for a while." You go ahead and get busy with yours first. ”
"Okay. The shopkeeper saluted Liu Erye, and then slipped into the kitchen again.
"Damn, it's slow. Second Master Liu said scoldingly. He shook his head and looked at the roast chicken that the shopkeeper had served, and then went to look at Ah Fei's table. When he saw that the unwise monk was gnawing on the head of the chicken, he couldn't help but sneer: "Where did the thief and bald donkey come from, and dare to blatantly break the precept to eat meat!"
The unwise monk heard Second Master Liu's words, but his mind was all on the chicken head, so he didn't talk to him.
Second Master Liu was bored with himself, so he got up and walked towards the unwise monk: "Thief bald donkey, you dare to ignore your second master!"
The unwise monk ate the chicken head, raised his eyes to look at Second Master Liu, and without saying a word, he lowered his head and gnawed the chicken neck seriously.
"Hey, are you dumb or deaf?" Seeing that the roast chicken on the table hadn't moved much, Second Master Liu reached out and tore off a chicken leg.
"Don't move, it's mine!" Ah Fei said, hitting the back of Liu Erye's hand with chopsticks, and the roast chicken leg fell back on the plate.
"Damn, do you kid want to die?" "Second Master Liu rubbed his red hand and scolded.
Ah Fei pointed to the roast chicken on Liu Erye's table and said, "You obviously have it on your own table, why do you want to take someone else's?"
"Second Master, I like to take other people's, can't I?" Second Master Liu glared, raised his fist, and was about to hit Ah Fei.
When the unwise monk on the side saw it, he stood up suddenly, grabbed Liu Erye's wrist, and pushed him to the ground: "A dignified man, for the sake of a chicken leg, he actually did it with a child, and he was not ashamed!"
The second master of Liu stood up with a carp, and wanted to rush up to reward the unwise monk with an old fist, but when he looked closely, he saw that the unwise monk was unusually tall, and his face was fierce, and he was afraid, so he had to point at him angrily and said, "You ...... You dare to push me, do you know me...... Who am I?"
The unwise monk saw that Liu Erye had just gotten up, and his movements were quite neat, as if he had practiced kung fu, so he thought secretly in his heart: "Our Xiaoxiang faction's Jiang master is in this Yuezhou, could it be that this Hun man is his apprentice? Then I should ask clearly, lest the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple, and my family will not know my own family." Thinking like this, the unwise monk made a fuss, and asked in a loud voice: "Who are you, I am a foreigner, and I don't recognize you." ”
Second Master Liu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Hmph, it turned out to be a foreigner, no wonder you don't recognize me." Monk, I tell you, I am—"
"Oh, the little old man is late! The little old man didn't know that Second Master Liu was coming, it was really disrespectful, disrespectful!" Before Second Master Liu finished speaking, the shopkeeper of the restaurant had already trotted all the way into the lobby and shouted loudly.
"Damn, you're finally dead!" Second Master Liu saw that the shopkeeper was coming, so he ignored the unwise monk, walked back to his original seat, and said to the shopkeeper.
"Hey, hey, there's something to delay, the second master is not strange, the second master is not strange. The shopkeeper bowed down and said, "Little Er, you can serve some good tea to the second master!"
"No need, the tea is free, I'll take the money and leave!" Liu Erye leaned on the table, stirred the roast chicken on the plate twice, and said slowly.
"What money?" said the shopkeeper stunned.
"What money? What money do you ask me? You're pretending to be stupid with me, aren't you?" Second Master Liu knocked on the shopkeeper's gray head and shouted loudly.
Ah Fei saw that Second Master Liu was beating people, and he was displeased, so he wanted to intervene, but was stopped by the unwise monk and said: "Brother Ah Fei, let's wait and see, after we have figured things out, it's not too late to do it again." ”
I only heard the shopkeeper's crying face, and begged: "Second master, don't fight, little old man really doesn't know, please tell little old man clearly, and let little old man know why he was beaten by the second master." ”
"Hmph, okay, then I'll make it clear to you, so that you don't have to chew your tongue behind your back in the future! The shops near this ferry hand over to us the Dongting Thirteen Water Gang's regular silver every month, have you paid it this month?" It turns out that this Second Master Liu is a member of the Dongting Thirteen Water Gang that dominates Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road, no wonder his behavior is so arrogant.
"It turned out that I said that the silver is a case of silver, I have already paid the silver, the old dragon head has worked hard to keep our side safe, so that we can have something to eat, how can I not pay this case of silver!" said the shopkeeper with a shrunken head.
"Fart!" Liu Erye slapped the table and said angrily, "Who the hell did you hand it over?" Why didn't I see a penny?"
The shopkeeper shook his body and said, "I handed it over to the eldest brother of the Zhao family, I just handed it over two days ago, if you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”
Liu Erye slapped the table and stood up and said, "Big brother of the Zhao family?
"Which eldest brother of the Zhao family can there be, it is the eldest son of the original Zhao Laolong!"
Ah Fei listened to the shopkeeper's words, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Zhao Laolongtou's eldest son, are they talking about Zhao Yong, the eldest brother of Little Bell? Could it be that they came here from Mingzhou?"
"Fuck you!" Second Master Liu kicked down the shopkeeper and yelled: "What do you do to give the silver to Zhao Yong's kid, I think you are impatient!"
Seeing that Second Master Liu had injured the shopkeeper, the second little man of the shop hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said: "Second Master Mo Da, two days ago, it was the eldest brother of the Zhao family who came to our shop in person, saying that he had changed the rules, and since this year, the regular silver of the shops near this ferry port has to be given to him, and we just gave it!"
Second Master Liu was furious when he heard this, kicked down the shopkeeper, and scolded: "His grandmother's, who said that this rule has been changed? His surname Zhao is just a lost dog, Jiang Laolongtou, who defected to him when he was desperate, what kind of thing is he, when will it be his turn to collect the silver?"
The shopkeeper was lying on the ground, looking at Liu Erye in horror and said: "Yes, yes, yes, but we don't know if the rules of the old dragon's head have changed, since the eldest brother of the Zhao family said this, of course we can only believe it!"
"Fart, fart! He said that if the rules have changed, you will believe it, do you think he is the old dragon head? Let me tell you, even if this rule is changed and replaced by someone else, it will not be his turn to be surnamed Zhao without our brother receiving the silver!"
Liu Erye said, picked up a bench, and was about to hit the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, but he heard a sigh and said: "Alas, Brother Afu, you said that this is a good restaurant, and the food is fragrant, but someone has been farting next to it, and it makes people nauseous, and they can't eat properly, what do you say?"
I heard another person cough a few times, and then said coldly: "Then drive him out, so as not to ruin the interest of eating." ”
When Second Master Liu heard this, he seemed to be talking about himself, so he poked the bench on the ground and said loudly: "Which bastard is talking?" He followed Fang Cai's voice, but saw two men sitting at a table in the corner, one of them had red face and yellow hair, and was looking at him with a hippie smile, while the other was facing away from him, unable to see his appearance.
I saw that the man with his back to Second Master Liu shook his shoulders, coughed a few more times, and then said: "Liu Dinggui, you are relying on your eldest brother to support you now, you are really becoming more and more presumptuous, and you dare to say anything nonsense." Listen to the voice, and you will know that this person is the one who spoke after the two. The meaning of his words was naturally to reprimand Liu Dinggui, but his tone was unusually calm, without any inhibition and frustration, and he couldn't hear a trace of anger at all.
Liu Dinggui looked at the man's thin back, listened to the tone of his voice, and remembered that the red-faced man had just called him "Brother Afu", he couldn't help but feel apprehensive, put down the bench and said, "You...... Isn't that Brother Afu of the Zhao family?"
"Hmm. The man slowly stood up, turned around and said to Liu Dinggui with an expressionless face: "I didn't expect you to recognize me Zhao Fu." ”
"Brother Afu, what are you talking about, when Zhao Laolongtou was alive, you were the chief supervisor of our Thirteen Water Gangs, who would not recognize you up and down the Water Gang!" Liu Dinggui said, "But after Zhao Laolongtou left, I heard that Brother Afu went to Lingnan to avoid the capture of Li Zhenhai's dead turtle, but I don't know when you came back?"
"I just came back a few days ago. After that, Zhao Fu covered his mouth and nose and coughed a few times.
"Come to think of it, if Brother Afu had come back a long time ago, my eldest brother and I would have known, then we must go to see you and wash the dust for you. Liu Dinggui said with a smile.
"Then you don't have to. Zhao Fu pressed his hand on his chest and said, "Liu Dinggui, let's say less polite words and talk about your few nonsense words." I really want to know, what does it mean that even if the rules are changed, it will not be the turn of the person surnamed Zhao to receive the silver? If I remember correctly, these eight hundred miles of Dongting, especially the boundary of Yuezhou, the old Zhao family should have been in charge for decades, why is it not qualified to receive the silver?"
Liu Dinggui smiled awkwardly: "Okay, then let's not say polite words." Brother Afu, you said that your Zhao family is qualified to accept the money here, but I want to ask you, should our brothers from the Dongting Thirteen Water Gang all listen to the orders of the old dragon?"
"Of course. ”
"Okay, my eldest brother and I will take over Yuezhou, that is the new old leader, Jiang Chengyi and Jiang Laoding's rules. Since it is the order of the old dragon's leader, who dares to disobey it? Could it be that the eldest brother of the Zhao family still wants to disobey the old dragon's head?"
Zhao Fu shook his head slightly, and said indifferently: "This is wrong, our Dongting Thirteen Water Gang has always been in charge of the affairs of each family, and the old dragon head has always been responsible for mediating and dealing with the conflicts between the families, but I have never heard of an old dragon head who would interfere in each family's own affairs without authorization." The rivers and lakes in this Yuezhou area have always been managed by our old Zhao family, and Jiang Laolongtou let your Liu family brothers take over, that is because the Zhao family in Yuezhou was killed by Li Zhenhai, and no one could be found to take over, so they had to do it as a last resort. Now that the eldest brother of the Zhao family has returned from Mingzhou and taken over the affairs that the old Zhao family was responsible for, it is a matter of course, and there is no need for the two of you brothers to take care of it. ”
Liu Dinggui sneered: "What Brother Afu said is all your own speculation, have you heard Jiang Laolongtou say with your own ears, this Yuezhou affairs are just for our brothers to take care of for your Zhao family? Hmph, as long as Jiang Laolongtou doesn't speak, our brothers will not give Yuezhou to others!"
"Since you and your eldest brother don't want to let go, then we have to grab it back ourselves. Zhao Fu coughed a few times and said indifferently.
"What, do you want to do it? How many people are left in your Zhao family?" Liu Dinggui's face reappeared with that arrogant look.
"It's true that there are not a few left in the Zhao family, but don't forget, the eldest brother of the Zhao family brought back dozens of brothers from Mingzhou. Li Zhenhai, as well as the good men of the Jianglong Gang under him, all died at the hands of these brothers. As he spoke, Zhao Fu pointed to the red-faced and yellow-haired man beside him and said, "This Li Shen brother is one of them." ”
That Li Shen looked at Liu Dinggui and smiled: "We all grew up in Sanjiangkou, and what we usually like to do the most is to fight." If you don't believe me, let's compare each other?"
The fact that Zhao Yong brought dozens of people back from Mingzhou had already spread in Yuezhou, and Liu Dinggui naturally knew about it. It's just that these dozens of people, most of them are fishermen and boatmen on the beach, although they are very good at fighting, they are not martial arts masters, so in the face of Li Shen's provocation, Liu Dinggui is not afraid.
His eyes were only staring at the iron sword hanging from Zhao Fu's waist.
Liu Dinggui knew that although this Zhao Fu looked like a sick man on the surface, coughing all day long, he was actually a master with a sword, and few people could beat him in a one-on-one single-handed situation. So he didn't want to fight Li Shen in this small restaurant, if he provoked Zhao Fu to do it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So he took a step back, ignored Li Shen's words, and said directly to Zhao Fu: "Hmph, Brother Afu, it seems that it is necessary for our two families to make an appointment to go to Junshan and talk to Jiang Laolongtou." Liu Dinggui's eldest brother, Liu Dingfu, has followed Jiang Chengyi for many years and is Jiang Chengyi's confidant. If he really went to Junshan, then Jiang Chengyi probably wanted to favor the Jiang family, so he said this.
"Anything goes. Zhao Fu coughed a few times and said, "This should be our Zhao family's thing, it should belong to our Zhao family, even if it is to Jiang Laolongtou, I will still say this." ”
"Okay, then I'll go back and discuss with my eldest brother first, and find the eldest brother of the Zhao family to set a date another day, and go to Junshan together." ”
"Well, I'll be there at any time. Zhao Fu arched his hand.
"Farewell!" Liu Dinggui hugged his fist and saluted Zhao Fu, and then carried the wine bag and the plate of roast chicken for free, and walked out of the restaurant.
"Brother Afu, what should we do now?" Li Shen pulled the sparse beard on his chin and asked Zhao Fudao.
"Go home and wait for news. Zhao Fu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the gate.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Ah Fei saw that Zhao Fu and Li Shen were about to leave, so he immediately stopped them.
The unwise monk didn't know what Ah Fei was going to do, so he whispered in his ear, "Brother Ah Fei, what are you going to do?"
Ah Fei pushed away the unwise monk's head: "Oh, I have something to ask them." ”
Zhao Fu turned around, coughed a few times, looked at Ah Fei and said, "Little brother, are you calling me?
Ah Fei stood up and said, "Well, let me ask you, does Zhao Yong, the eldest brother of the Zhao family you just mentioned, have a younger sister named Little Bell?"
Zhao Fu tilted his head sideways, looked at Ah Fei, frowned slightly and said, "Yes, I don't know who this little brother's surname is?"
Ah Fei was overjoyed and said, "My name is Yu Fei, you can also call me Ah Fei." I'm a friend of Little Bell, can you take me to meet her?"
Zhao Fu looked at Ah Fei's elated appearance, and still asked indifferently: "You said that you are a friend of the bell girl, but listening to your accent, it doesn't seem like a local." Where did you meet Bell Girl?"
"In March last year, in Hangzhou, no, no, no, specifically, it should be in Niniu Town!" Ah Fei said with a smile, "At that time, I sent the little bell to Mingzhou!"
"I see. Zhao Fu nodded slightly, "Then this master is-"
"This great monk is my friend, the unwise master of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple of Jingzhao Mansion. ”
The unwise monk saw that Ah Fei seemed to be familiar with this Zhao Fu's bell girl, and thought that the next accommodation and food in Yuezhou should be settled, so he hurriedly clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, Brother Afu, if you are unwise, you are me." ”
Zhao Fu looked at the greasy mouth of the unwise monk, and then looked at the mountain of chicken bones and fish bones on the table, frowned slightly, and saluted the unwise monk with a fist: "It turned out to be an unwise master, fortunately, fortunately." Then he said to the frightened shopkeeper: "The money for this table of meals is recorded in the account of the eldest brother of the Zhao family, and I will send someone to settle it at the end of the month." ”
The shopkeeper hunched his waist and said tremblingly, "...... Since he is a friend of the eldest brother of the Zhao family, the silver on this table is ...... It's free. ”
"No need, the friends of the eldest brother of the Zhao family, just like the fish in the eight-hundred-mile cave court, they can't be counted, if you give all the money, do you still want to do business? ”
After that, Zhao Fu coughed a few more times, then turned around and touched Ah Fei's head: "Brother Ah Fei, come with me." ”
Out of the restaurant, Zhao Fu and Li Shen took Ah Fei and the unwise monk to a house by the lake.
"Boss, Sun Bao, we're back!" Li Shen shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he walked into the courtyard.
"What are you yelling about, didn't you see me in the yard?" A man with a gentle face, who was sewing fishing nets in the yard, heard Li Shen shouting, so he turned his head and said. When he saw Ah Fei and the unwise monk enter the door, he put down the work in his hand and said with a smile: "There are guests coming!"
"Ah, yes, Sun Bao, where's the boss?" asked Li Shen.
"The boss was taking a nap in the house, and I guess it should be time to wake up at this time. Sun Bao replied. This Sun Bao, like Li Shen, also came from Mingzhou. He and Li Shen are the two of the dozens of brothers from Mingzhou who can fight the most, and they are very valued by Zhao Yong.
"How do you know that the boss should wake up?" said Li Shenqi.
Sun Bao smiled: "The boss wakes up at about this time every day." Besides, with the shouting you just had, even if the boss didn't wake up, he would be woken up by you. ”
"Li Shen, you're going to die, don't you know I'm sleeping? It's so loud, it's noisy!" Before Sun Bao's words fell, he saw a big black man holding a little girl and walking out of the house scolding.
This big man is naturally the "big brother of the Zhao family" that others often call - Zhao Yong. And the little girl Zhao Yong is holding in his hand is, of course, his only sister Zhao Ling.
When Ah Fei saw the little bell, he couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and couldn't help shouting, "Little bell!"
When the little bell heard this shout, he was stunned at first, hid behind Zhao Yong and looked at Ah Fei carefully for a long time, and then asked timidly, "Is it Brother Ah Fei?"
"Yes, it's me, you don't know me!" Ah Fei jumped up to the little bell and said with a smile.
Getting closer, Ah Fei clearly saw the soybean-sized scar under the little bell's right eye, and felt a little sad in his heart, and unconsciously smiled.
Little Bell smiled with a red face, and said in a low voice: "I recognize, how can I not recognize you?" After that, she pulled away the hand held by her brother Zhao Yong and ran back to the house.
"Huh?" Ah Fei didn't understand why the little bell only said a few words and ran away, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and looked at Zhao Yong beside him blankly.
Zhao Yong laughed and said: "My sister is really getting older and more useless, and she will blush when she sees acquaintances." He pinched Ah Fei's arm, patted Ah Fei's chest again, and nodded: "Are you really the little Ah Fei who saved my sister? Why has your body become so strong after only a year of not seeing you?"
Although Ah Fei knew Zhao Yong when he was in Sanjiangkou, he was not familiar with him, and it was inevitable that he would be a little awkward when he was slapped like this, so he took a step back and said, "Ah, is there one? Maybe it's because I've been practicing martial arts recently!"
Zhao Yong nodded, pointed at the unwise monk and said, "He is your master?"
Ah Fei looked at the unwise monk and smiled evilly: "He's not my master! ”
"Oh...... Such. Zhao Yong stepped forward and hugged his fist to the unwise monk and said: "Unwise master, under Zhao Yong, friends in the rivers and lakes love to call me 'Brother Zhao', and they also like to call me 'Black Dragon'." These three are all my brothers, Zhao Fu and Brother Fu, Sun Bao and Li Shen. ”
"Black Dragon? The unwise monk praised.
"Haha, this is our boss's nickname on the rivers and lakes. Li Shen said proudly.
"That's because my friends look up to me. Zhao Yong said with a smile.
When Zhao Yong was in Sanjiangkou in Mingzhou before, he had been living by the sea, exposed to the sun, and his complexion was much darker than ordinary people, plus he was brave and had a beautiful water kung fu, so he was compared to the black dragon in the river by the brothers in the gang, and often called him a black dragon in front of him. Of course, Zhao Yong himself also likes to be called the black dragon, often in front of others, so after coming and going, this black dragon has become Zhao Yong's nickname.
Everyone exchanged names, and then moved a few benches to sit down in the courtyard and bask in the sun. Zhao Fu took out a dark green dried fruit from a cloth bag and put it in his mouth, and while chewing, he handed the cloth bag to Ah Fei and the unwise monk and said, "Dried betel nut, do you want it?"
When the unwise monk was not hungry, he was only interested in meat, and when he saw other things to eat, he was not interested, so he waved his hand to signal that he did not want to. And Ah Fei took a look at the dried betel nut in the bag, felt novel, and just wanted to take one and taste it, but Zhao Yong on the side pushed the cloth bag away and said: "Brother Ah Fei, I advise you not to eat this." This ghost thing is chewed in the mouth, which is similar to chewing the bark of a tree, and it is not eaten by people at all, and eating it will only make people sad. Of all our brothers, only Brother Afu himself is willing to eat this thing and chew it every day. ”
Ah Fei listened to Zhao Yong's words, so he also waved his hand and said, "Is it bitter and astringent?" ”
Zhao Fu coughed a few times and said: "You listen to Ah Yong's alarmist words, the people in my hometown Lingnan love to chew betel nuts, and we all go to the trees to pick fresh betel nuts and eat them wrapped in wattle leaves." Don't underestimate my bag of dried betel nuts, this is brought from Lingnan, and it can't be bought locally, it's very precious, and I don't give it to others easily. ”
Ah Fei stretched out his palm and said, "Since it's so valuable, then I'll better taste one." ”
"If you don't taste it yourself, you just listen to others, after all, you still don't know what this betel nut tastes like, maybe you will like it. Zhao Fu took a dried betel nut and put it in Ah Fei's palm and said, "Chew slowly, don't swallow." ”
Ah Fei said "um", then stuffed the dried betel nut into his mouth, just chewed it a few times, only to feel a cool breath rushing to his nostrils, his mouth was bitter and astringent, and he couldn't help but spit out the dried betel nut "wow". When they saw him like this, they all burst out laughing.
Zhao Fuzha tightened the cloth bag, looked at the dried betel nut on the ground, and said lightly: "It's a pity." ”
Ah Fei only felt a tightness in his chest, took a few deep breaths and said, "Brother Afu, I can't eat your precious thing." ”
Zhao Yong patted Ah Fei's shoulder and laughed: "I told you a long time ago, you didn't listen, you suffered hardship, right? By the way, you haven't said why you came to Yuezhou, do you have something to do?"
Ah Fei pointed at the unwise monk and said, "No, it's this great monk who is coming to Yuezhou, and he has something to ask to see Jiang Yuexiaojiang, the head of the Xiaoxiang faction." ”
As soon as Zhao Yong and the others heard that the unwise monk was going to see Jiang Yue laughing, they all stopped laughing, and the courtyard suddenly fell silent.
The unwise monk saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and thought that these people had some grudges with the Xiaoxiang faction, so he glanced at Ah Fei and secretly said that it was not good.
Ah Fei also vaguely felt as if he had said something wrong, but after all, he was still a child, and he had no heart, so he said directly: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"
Zhao Yong glanced at Zhao Fu and saw that he was chewing betel nut casually, so he had to turn his head sideways and ask the unwise monk: "I don't know what the unwise master is looking for the Jiang master of the Xiaoxiang faction for?"
The unwise monk hesitated for a moment, and said in his heart: "Although I don't know what they have with the Xiaoxiang faction, since they asked me, I told him that it is." It's a big deal that they treat me as a Xiaoxiang faction and fight with me. So he said: "My master is the senior brother of the head of the river, and he has been walking on the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and by the way, he also accepted my apprentice who is not a weapon." A few years ago, he also took me to become a monk at the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. A few days ago, my master passed away, and before leaving, he specially ordered me to come to Yuezhou to find the head of Najiang, and asked me to tell the head about him, so I came here. ”
"So that's what happened. Zhao Yongdao, "Then have you seen Master Jiang before?"
"Nope. The unwise monk shook his head, "I've been staying in Guanzhong before, and I've never seen Master Jiang at all. ”
"Master is Chen Peng's apprentice?" Suddenly, Zhao Fu interjected and asked.
"Ah, yes, how do you know the name of my master and his old man?" The unwise monk couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Zhao Fu actually say his master's name.
"That Jiang Yuexiao ranks second in the division, and there is only one senior brother above, and that is Chen Peng. Since you said that your master is Jiang Yuexiao's senior brother, it can only be him. Zhao Fudao.
"In this way, about the Xiaoxiang faction, my master didn't say too much, I really don't know what you said. ”
"After the master saw Jiang Yuexiao, did he want to stay in Yuezhou?" Zhao Fu then asked.
"No, I'm just here to report a message, I've seen the master, I'll leave, I and Brother Ah Fei have other things to do. ”
"Oh. Zhao Fu nodded, and then stopped talking.
For a while, everyone didn't know what to continue to talk about, so they had to sit in the courtyard and remain silent.
After seeing Zhao Yong and Zhao Fu ask a few words, the unwise monk stopped making a sound, and only felt as if there were thousands of insects and ants crawling over in his heart, which was unbearable, and he couldn't help but break the dullness, and blurted out: "Don't blame me for asking, what do you have with the Xiaoxiang faction?"
"Haha, the master said that he laughed, among our Dongting Thirteen Water Gang, there are many brothers who have learned from the Xiaoxiang faction, so our relationship with the Xiaoxiang faction is not bad, what can we do?" Zhao Yong said with a smile.
"What kind of grudge is there with Master Jiang?"
"No, the master is too careful. ”
The unwise monk frowned, knowing that Zhao Yong and the others were unwilling to tell the truth, so he said: "Since a few people don't want to say it clearly, then the monk doesn't ask." I just want to say that I am a monk, although I used to be a member of the Xiaoxiang faction, but I don't know the disciples of the Xiaoxiang faction, and I don't know the head of the river, no matter what grievances you have with them, I won't intervene, don't need to be wary of me. ”
When Zhao Fu heard this, he coughed a few times, spit out the betel nut scum in his mouth and said: "Since the master has said so, if we don't tell the truth, it will seem that we are stingy." Anyway, some of these things are open secrets in Yuezhou, and it doesn't hurt to say them. What do you think, Ayon?"
Zhao Yong sighed and said, "You have said everything, then you can tell him." ”
