Section 58
Li Zhihua said: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to disturb that big brother Tu like this." ”
Tu Podao said: "Where do you come from, if you go to the village, it will be too late for my eldest brother to rejoice." Let's go, don't talk nonsense, get on the horse and go!"
Li Zhihua secretly thought in his heart: "Chu Chu will never go home at present, if the owner of the slaughter village is really a friend, let her be temporarily there, so as not to follow him all the way, which is not very convenient." After thinking about it, he said: "The younger brother also loves to make friends, Brother Tu has a bold temperament, not to mention the big brother Tu, the younger brother also has the intention of visiting, Brother Tu said so, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
Tu Podao was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Wu Kuan: "Go and tell your eldest cousin first, let him prepare a hundred brews of wine, poke pigs and sheep, and celebrate the arrival of Brother Li." Wu Kuan listened to him, smiled at Li Zhihua, and then got on his horse and galloped away.
Li Zhihua said: "Brother Tu, let's take my horse, and let Miss Yao ride your horse, okay?"
Tu Podao smiled: "Brother Li is very elegant at the moment. Okay, according to you, according to you!hahaha......"
Chu Chu was overjoyed when he saw that Li Zhihua was willing to take him with him, and when he saw that he let himself ride a horse, he said bitterly: "I don't know how to ride a horse." ”
Tu Podao laughed when he heard this: "Brother Li, isn't it to blame that I didn't promise you? ”
Li Zhihua blushed with shame and said, "Brother Tu Hugh will make fun of it again." ”
Tu Podao let out a long laugh and beat the horse first.
Seeing that he was on his horse and leading the way, he took off his torn shirt, took out a pale yellow silk robe from his bag and put it on, and threw the rotten silk under the bridge. Seeing that Chu Chu's face was flushed with shame, he smiled and said, "Brother Yao, please get on the horse." ”
Chu Chu saw that this horse was very tall, and it was rare for him to go up, and said, "This horse is so tall, I can't go up." ”
Li Zhihua had no choice but to lead the horse to the pier, let her stand on the pier and get on the horse, and then flew on the horse himself, and the two grabbed the reins together, patted the mount, and followed closely.
He was sitting behind Chu Chu at the moment, facing the wind, but when he smelled the bursts of orchid fragrance, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
Chu Chu's back was close to his chest, as if it was a whimsical at the moment, and the gods were incomparable, and the mountains, rocks and trees on both sides of the road also turned into clouds.
A few people one after the other, not slow or hurried, less than an hour, then see less than three miles in front of the green ridge undulating, at the foot of the mountain a large area of thick green weeds, pavilions and houses in the shade, a big green villa.
Tu Podao Hou Li Zhihua approached and said, "Brother Li, there is the village in front, the boss and Wu Kuan must be greeting us at this moment." ”
Li Zhihua praised: "Here is thick and prosperous, the houses are neat, the style is extraordinary, this village is backed by mountains and rivers, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, straight like the Wuling Taoyuan in the next world, it is rare to see, can enter the treasure village, how fortunate to win!"
Tu Podao said: "Most of the people in this village are surnamed Tu, because of the internal and external turmoil every year, the hardships are not good, the people of this clan pushed my eldest brother to be the owner of the village, moved here from hundreds of miles away, chose this good land, built a village, and now it has been 30 years before it has become like this." ”
Li Zhihua said: "That big brother Tu is a hero, and everyone expects it." ”
The two talked and walked on the horse, and when they approached the entrance of the village, the three of them dismounted and walked. Zhuangzi is surrounded by a two-zhang wide river, and a three-zhang wide stone bridge leads directly to the Zhuangmen. The village door is carved with a boulder with four big characters, and it is very clear from afar, it is "Tumen Villa".
At this time, I suddenly heard the firecrackers in the village, and the sheng springs were concurrent. Tu Podao said: "When a distinguished guest arrives here, he needs to sound a cannon and play music to show a welcoming atmosphere, which is a customary courtesy." Li Zhihua said: "The little brother is not virtuous and nameless, how dare he use such pomp and circumstance to slaughter the eldest brother, the little brother is flattered." ”
Si had to be happy, but saw more than 20 people walking out of the village. The twenty or so people were divided into three columns, the first of them was an old man of about fifty or sixty years old, this old man had blazing eyes, his face was red, a lock of long beard was placed in front of his chest, he was wearing a coarse cloth robe, his body was large, and he was imposing; behind the old man stood three middle-aged men, all of them heroic, and the last row was a young man of one or twenty years old, although they were all coarsely dressed, but they were also dignified.
Tu Podao said: "Brother Li, the person in front is my eldest brother, named Tu Shishu, and in the back is my second and third brothers and fifth brothers, and finally some children." ”
Li Zhihua walked a few steps quickly, and said with a bow on his chest: "In Xia Li Zhihua, I am fortunate to be able to slaughter the owner of the village, and the grand ceremony of the slaughter village is flattered and frightened." ”
That Tu Shixuan also hurried to catch up, stretched out his hand to help, and said with a smile: "Brother Li is a young hero, Ben Lin Zhuang is a brilliant color, Tu is happy to see Brother Li's demeanor, and he is fortunate to have three lives." Hahahaha!"
The latter are all the sons and nephews of the Tu brothers, the oldest is Tu Shishu's eldest son, who is also older than Tu Podao, and the rest are all around twenty years old, and the youngest is only eleven or twelve years old. When they saw that Tu Shishu and Tu Podao respected Li Zhihua so much, they thought that this young man was quite a lot and was only twenty years old, what reputation could he have to win the respect of his uncle and fourth uncle, and there was a lot of red tape.
After everyone saw each other, the Tu brothers led Li Zhihua and Chu Chu into the village. Go to the village that enters, the trees you see are lined up, the pavilions are in formation, the road surface is paved with bluestone, the flat and wide are straight, the rockery and water are set up everywhere, the grass is green and the flowers are fragrant, and it has a unique style.
Li Zhihua saw that the mountain villa was elegant and beautiful, and the people were healthy, but Brother Tu was dressed in cloth clothes, and he did not show his rich appearance, but he was simple and simple, and he couldn't help but sigh. Zhe thought: "This Tu brother looks like a heroic and righteous person, he must be a friend of the people, and he can rest assured that Chu Chu is here." Thinking that Zhu Shuzhen and Chu Chu were both coincidentally the same, they eloped away from home and ran away with him, and he became a kidnapper who was good at seducing good girls, and couldn't help but laugh secretly. It's funny, but it's also passionate.
Suddenly, I came to a big mansion. But see the courtyard is deep and wide, the pavilion is beautiful and beautiful, and the strange flowers and plants are clustered.
Everyone led Li Zhihua and the two to a lobby, and saw a plaque hanging above the hall, with the words "Huiying Hall" written on it. Entering the hall, but seeing the high friends full of seats, hanging a giant couplet in the middle, the upper link is: welcome guests from all over the world, and the lower link is: friends from all over the world. The ten-character book has a dignified ink rhyme, vigorous and simple.
After Tu Shichou entered the hall, he laughed and said: "Today I met a young friend again, I will introduce you to him!" After that, he took Li Zhihua's hand and said: "This is Li Zhihua's brother, a good friend of my fourth brother and Wu Kuan's nephew who just met, benevolent and righteous, admirable." ”
Everyone saw that Li Zhihua was gorgeously dressed and handsome, but he was like a wealthy child of an ordinary wealthy family, but this Boss Tu made such a fuss, and he never made friends. Everyone had no choice but to stand up and hug their fists at Li Zhihua. Tu Shichou introduced Chu Chu again: "This is a good friend of Brother Li, named Yao'an, who is a scholar. Chu Chu nodded to everyone and smiled.
Everyone in the hall is a high-roller, some have a deep friendship with the Tu brothers, and some are admired. Because the Tu brothers are chivalrous and righteous, squandering wealth and friends, most of the people in the rivers and lakes have never heard of it, so some of them pass through here to find a place to stay, and by the way, they meet this chivalrous and good man, and have a meal together.
Seeing that Li Zhihua and Chu Chu were childish, and most of them sat down quickly.
Tu Shichou walked up to a thin, bright-eyed, and Taoist man in his fifties and said: "Brother Li, this is Qiu Deqiu, the head of the Sichuan Qingcheng faction who is famous in the rivers and lakes and known in the martial arts, and he has just arrived in the village. ”
Qiu Deqiu was full of arrogance, the big lama sat on the chair, held the teacup in his right hand, took a sip, glanced at Li Zhihua, and only nodded.
Tu Podao saw that he looked arrogant, and he was angry in his heart, and said secretly: "This old boy is the head of Qingcheng, but he is so arrogant. ”
Li Zhihua has been going to Kunlun since he was a child, but he has never heard of Qiu Deqiu's name, but the geniuses in the Central Plains or the Western Regions martial arts have heard the master talk about it occasionally, and talking about these people is just an example of their merits and hardships, and they are just urging themselves to study hard. Gongsun Tai knew about the Qingcheng faction in Sichuan, but it was difficult to say whether he knew the name of Qiu Deqiu.
Li Zhihua saw Qiu Deqiu's arrogant and old-fashioned demeanor, and he was also disgusted, and he didn't hold his fist, but said: "Fortunately." ”
Qiu Deqiu saw that he didn't know anything about him, and he was angry, thinking that this kid didn't know that the old man was powerful, so he had to teach him a lesson. I thought again: "This kid is just a rich eunuch's son, a child who loves horses, and even the Shaolin faction may not know about it, so it is difficult for him to know the old man." "He's a ** self-origin, and his anger is not as big as just now, although his anger is gradually subsiding, but the idea of revenge is still buried in his heart.
This time, Qiu Deqiu had more than a dozen disciples, and when he saw that Tu Shishu was close to Li Zhihua, he was already unconvinced, and he saw that Li Zhihua was rude to the master, so he became more and more angry.
Tu Shishu then introduced a middle-aged man who was about forty years old and had a thick black face and said: "This is the Tao Dashui Tao hero who is famous for shaking Hubei Xiangchuan and Guizhiguang. In the summer of the year before last, Tao Yingying punished the four demons with a single sword, which is really admirable, and martial arts are still rumored to be beautiful talk today. ”
Tao Dashui got up and said with a smile: "Brother Tu praised, what did you do with it?" and then hugged Li Zhihua: "I have to see Li Gongzi, I am fortunate to have three lives." Li Zhihua also hugged his fists and said: "Tao Hero is chivalrous, it is really a blessing." ”
Seeing this, Qiu Deqiu regained his anger and secretly scolded Tu Tao and the others. I thought to myself: "What's so great about a little hairy child, but you have to bow to him with a fist first? This kid clearly looks down on me, although your family is rich and noble, ordinary people don't dare to provoke it, but I don't buy this account." If you don't teach this boy a lesson, you swear not to be a man. Hmph!" although his chest burned with anger, he was silent on the surface. I thought to myself, "Look at how much of a storm you can make as a child." ”
Then he introduced two middle-aged men in white short robes and said: "These two are the two main and deputy gang leaders of the Flying Dragon Gang, White-winged Fei and White-winged Dragon, and the Bai brothers are in Longgan Lake in western Anhui, and they are famous all over the world, leading waterway heroes such as Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui. ”
Qiu Deqiu sneered secretly when he heard this: "The rabble, the ape is wearing a crown, this is a shrimp soldier and crab general, but he pretended to be an adult to set foot in the land and earth. Phew!" squirted the tea leaves out of his mouth violently.
