Chapter 6: Surviving in the Cracks of Power
At the dinner party where the cottage received Jude Kai for the first time, there was another thing that could not be ignored. That is, in the middle of the banquet, the minions of the cottage and their little class owners also came to toast.
At this time, there was a fat man, he had two pumpkin hammers weighing 30 pounds each crossed diagonally on his back, and in his hand he held a large spoon that could hold two catties of liquor; he walked over with a big grin, pulled his throat like a broken gong, and laughed very enthusiastically to Qiu De and said: "I have heard the fame of Qiu Daxia for a long time, and I am really happy to be able to raise a glass with you today!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to lean over and touch the small wine inn that Jude Kai looked more delicate in comparison, and then raised his head and drank the large wine until there was not a drop left;
It might as well be said that being able to hold a sixty-pound weapon with both hands, and it is also a pair of pumpkin hammers that are rare on the rivers and lakes, this person's strength and skills are probably extraordinary.
At this point, Qiu Dekai is a clear-eyed person, he knows that this person is a man, and he is a good man, but why does a person like him have been subservient to the subordinate minions and has not been reused?
Obviously, there are as many illustrations in this world as there is justice that has been ravaged by sin.
At this time, suddenly, I heard a gloomy voice and coughed dryly. The fat man's expression immediately changed, and he looked at the dry cough like a frightened rabbit.
The person who made the dry cough sound was Dongfang Qingyun, and he said solemnly to the fat man: "Brother Bai, don't get carried away, go back to your class, and take care of your brothers! Don't embarrass me in front of the guests!"
Immediately, the big fat man, whom he called Brother White, was so red with shame that his face was as red as if he had been splashed with blood, and the big fat man went away in disappointment like a wounded child.
As a result, Qiu Dekai also felt very embarrassed.
However, he didn't care about Dongfang Qingyun's face, he said how he felt at the moment. He said to Dongfang Qingyun, and his voice was still very loud: "This brother is very proud, and his ability must be not small!" At this moment, the fat man had not gone far, and his words could still be heard completely, and it was obvious that the guest's words had given him so much encouragement that he could not help but turn back and cast a grateful glance at the guest. Of course, Qiu Dekai didn't see this glance, because he was talking to Dongfang Qingyun. If Qiu Dekai happened to see this look, then he would definitely feel how lonely and shocking that kind of eyes made of loneliness, depression, and humiliation were!
Dongfang Qingyun sneered and said, "It's useless, it's just a fake trick." ”
Seeing that he was talking about this, Qiu Dekai couldn't say anything more, after all, this was someone's family matter, and he was a guest in the end.
So, they continued to drink.
For example, at a banquet, when you encounter embarrassment, the best way to avoid embarrassment is to raise a glass and invite you to drink.
In fact, everyone also guessed that this fat man is Bai Xiong, the "Double Hammer Shock Kanto". His martial arts are no weaker than any of the leaders of the cottage, and even much stronger than some. Before he defected to the cottage, he was already a well-known figure in Kanto. However, because his character has always been upright, quick-talking, and open-mouthed, this is unacceptable to many people, but he is sincere in his heart and does not hide organs, so this makes him very easy to be used by people with ulterior motives. A man like him can only do a lot if he meets someone who appreciates him, and if he encounters someone who dislikes his character, even if he has the ability to put wings, he will be useless and will be disposed of as waste.
Therefore, he was depressed in the cottage, and he was deeply depressed in his stomach with the pain of being born at an untimely time.
Since then, Qiu Dekai has lived in the cottage for more than ten days, he seems to have no intention of leaving, and he has also fought fiercely with the leaders and minions, and he is also respected by everyone up and down as a great character, especially with Ruan Ling'er, which makes Dongfang Qingyun very uneasy.
So, he was always ready.
One night, he instructed the cook to make a few delicate side dishes and invited Jode to his private guest room for a drink, and before that, he also explained to the cook a small matter - the yin and yang pot must be served during the banquet.
This yin-yang pot is an ingenious handicraft, it can hold two properties of liquid at the same time, and usually, the intention of the inventor of this pot is to fill it half wine and half tea, so that it can be more convenient to receive guests at banquets. With this pot, the host saves a lot of trouble when receiving guests, and no longer has to do the troublesome things of pouring tea from a teapot for a while, and drinking wine from a jug for a while. In this yin-yang pot, the owner only needs to twist its lid clockwise at an angle of more than 30 degrees to pour out the tea or wine that the guest wants. What a human creation, what a great invention!
In this way, it not only shows the elegance of the host, but also sets off the grandeur of the table, and at the same time wins the appreciation and curiosity of the guests.
However, in the hands of Dongfang Qingyun, its function was further explored - it can not only hold wine and tea, but also a weapon to kill the enemy invisibly. Because, while the host gently twists the lid of the pot, it can not only meet the needs of the guests to drink wine and tea, but also meet the needs of the host to let the guests drink what they want him to drink unconsciously.
So, the dinner that night was destined to be wonderful.
Since it is the order of the owner of the big village, of course, the cabinets are indispensable to be busy for a while.
The cottage in the middle of summer evening gradually subsided from the hustle and bustle of the day, and was replaced by an incomparably tranquil tranquility. The people's expressions were unusually sleepy and serene, and even the dog walking on the road drooped its listless tongue, as if it were worried about finding a comfortable and warm shelter.
At this time, "Double Hammer Shock Kanto" Bai Xiong happened to pass by the kitchen, and heard that it was still busy inside at this time, so he turned in curiously to take a look, and he also accosted the cook a few words.
He saw a cook squatting by the basin of water to wash the dishes, and he was holding the yin-yang pot in his hand and scrubbing it carefully.
So, he asked curiously: "Who is this inviting to drink, and you want to use this pot?"
"Needless to say, of course it's to invite Qiu Daxia!"
"Is that the Qiu hero who still lives in our cottage?"
"Yes. ”
"How can you drink with this pot?"
"Isn't this pot bad?"
"Of course not. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I seem to remember that Wang Lao Liu, who came to the cottage last time, was poisoned by the wine in this pot, right?"
"Shhhh
"What's that, it's been a long time!"
The white bear finished speaking and left.
