Chapter 3: The Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger in Songshan Manor
Guan Xin is a loyal servant, he is an orphan, and it is Wushuang's father who takes him in. That year, Wushuang's father, Wu Dahai, passed by Jingzhou, found this lonely child in front of a Guandi temple, asked him for his name and address, and he only stretched out a thin little hand that did not match his actual age to Father Wu, so Father Wu judged that the child was five years old at the time. When the child was brought home, Wu Dahai used the surname of Master Guan of Guandi Temple, and named the child care, in order to let everyone care about the child. After caring grew up, I felt that the word "heart" was too straightforward to use in people's names, so I changed "care" to "Guan Xin", but few people knew this secret.
Yesterday, Guan Xin did three things according to Young Master Wu's instructions. The first thing is to go to the town and find the old friend of Master Wu, the poor but poor man named Niu Fen, according to the young master's instructions, send him five hundred taels of silver, and tell him not to go outside to beg anymore, and to buy some fields for his old age; And he fed the horses, because Wu Shuang was about to set off as soon as the morning was over, and the third thing was to go to the coffin of Tu Dafa, the coffin maker, to order a coffin of good wood, and he would personally transport it to the Songshan Manor seven days later. These matters were done overnight, and Wu Shuang came out as soon as the sky was bright.
Two hundred miles to the southwest, there is located in Yancheng, which is the last city pass from the south of the Yangtze River to the Central Plains. This place is populated, the business is extremely prosperous, and there are people from all walks of life who chase fame and fortune. In the east of Luoyan City, there is the magnificent Songshan Manor in the back of the mountains and waters, and its owner is called Wang Million. Songshan Manor covers an area of hundreds of acres, which is planted with precious flowers and trees, raises rare birds, and has unique pavilions and pavilions.
Living in such a luxurious manor must not be simple for its owner. Wang was a wealthy businessman, and according to him, he bought the estate from a wealthy man at great expense. To run such a large industry, how can you do it without a group of extraordinary helpers. Therefore, there are many martial arts masters around him, and there are one or two hundred people just collecting rent and collecting debts. As for killing people and selling goods, there are three other ruthless characters who make people talk about tiger color. One is She Gang, who is known as the Siberian Tiger, the other is Zhang Wei, who is known as the Shadowless Feet, and the other is Du Huixiong, a former Shaolin lay disciple who is known as the ghost. These three people have strange personalities and have unique skills, as long as Wang Million nods, who wants the third watch to die, it will not be dawn.
When he first arrived at the manor, people did not know how powerful he was, so someone scraped together 50 taels of silver and went to find Gou Wa, who had killed an adult leopard with his bare hands, and said: "Tomorrow at noon, the Siberian Tiger She has just passed by here, and if you can defeat him within 10 moves, the 50 taels of silver will be yours." ”
Gou Wa is confident.
At noon the next day, Gou Wa stood in the middle of the street with a big knife and waited. Sure enough, She Gang came, he carried a ghost head knife, twisted a jar of wine and drank while walking. Suddenly, I heard Gou Wa shouting, and the voice was like a huge thunder: "She Gang, dare to compete with me?"
She Gang lazily put down the ghost head knife, leaned on the ground, looked careless, and asked, "How to compare?" and began to raise his head and drink again.
"Whoever is faster with a knife will live. Gou Wa said.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Gou Wa raised the knife with both hands, suddenly exerted force, the cold light flashed, and the big knife swept towards She Gang like a meteor. She Gang, his posture has not changed, his expression has not changed, he has not moved an inch, his head is still tilted back to drink, but the arm holding the knife quickly drew an arc forward, Gou Wa fell to the ground, and even the person with the knife waved it into two sections.
Zhang Wei was very thin, like a monkey, but he moved ten times faster than a monkey. Drink blood wine - especially wine mixed with human blood. Therefore, people knew that he was cruel by nature and stayed away. Once, Wang Million took She Gang and a group of samurai to Xichuan to trade, and met Zhang Wei at a wine shop passing through Chengdu. At that time, the sun was scorching, and a group of customers were surrounding the door of the restaurant, some people were fanning with headscarves, some were wiping sweat with sweat towels, and some were fanning with open clothes...... But none of them dared to enter the liquor store, and they all looked at the hot ghost weather outside the porch and cried bitterly...... The cool liquor shop, however, was unusually deserted and empty, with only one guest, and only a jar of wine and a bowl on the table in front of him, where he poured himself a drink, as if he had not seen the poor passers-by in his eyes. The guests outside the door were all people who had taken the hot road, their mouths were dry, and they urgently needed a bowl of cool wine or a bowl of herbal tea to pour the heat in their bodies, but no one dared to enter the house. Wang Million was very puzzled and asked the guests: "There are a lot of empty seats inside, why don't you go in?"
An insider said: "Who dares to go in! The person inside is called Zhang Wei, and what he drinks is not ordinary wine, he drinks blood wine." When the blood wine was gone, he grabbed a random person and slaughtered it for blood. Who would dare to go in and drink with him?"
"Isn't there a royal law here?" Wang Million said, "Even if there is no royal law, there should be a good man who draws a sword to help when he sees injustice." ”
"Hmph, Wang Fa, good man," whispered a bold passer-by, "whoever has the ability in this poor mountain is the king and the hero." ”
So, Wang Million and She Gang said: "You go and ask him, if he is interested in helping me do something, I will not treat him badly!"
She just entered, he went to the master's counter and twisted two jars of bamboo leaf green, put them on Zhang Wei's table, and said, "Strong man, our master invites you to drink!"
"The mouth of eating people is soft, the hands of people are soft, your master invited me to drink, just to let me die for him!" Zhang Wei said while drinking, without raising his head.
She Gang laughed and said, "The strong man is quick to talk and speaks straightforwardly, that's right, our master just wants to ask the strong man to go out of the mountain to help take care of some business matters!"
"My commission is very high!" Zhang Wei said lightly.
She Gang said: "As long as the strong man is willing to go out of the mountain, our master can afford to pay the high commission." ”
"Fifty taels of silver and twenty jars of good wine should be tattooed every day, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!"
She Gang laughed and said, "I have heard for a long time that the strong man's feet are shadowless, as fast as a flying monkey, but is it true?"
Zhang Wei glanced at him, pointed to the wine jar on the table and sneered: "Then I'll let you see what it means to be fast." As he spoke, the person was already in the air, and suddenly the wine jar on the table flew out of the window with a bang, and then Zhang Wei returned to his seat and continued to drink, as if nothing had happened.
She Gang was shocked and said: "What a handsome leg technique, you can kick a ten-pound jar of wine out of the window without breaking, and others can't see the leg shadow you kicked, I believe that there will be no second person in the world who can do this except for Your Excellency." ”
"No problem, I promise you everything!" said Wang Wanwan in a loud voice when he saw him outside the door.
So, Zhang Wei grabbed another jar of wine sent by She Gang, patted open the mud seal, and drank it with his head up. said: "Good wine, thank you for the host's kindness, now I can go with you!" said She Gang swaggered out of the wine shop.
