Chapter 5: Raise a glass and invite a drink
There are righteous people in Hebei, who should push Deng Tianyuan;
The iron whip is invincible, and the chivalrous sky is thin!
This is a limerick poem known to women and children in Hebei, which fully reflects the chivalry and pride of Deng Tianyuan, who "roared with an iron whip in Hebei"; now he is over the age of six, but his pride in the rivers and lakes and the power of the iron whip in his hand have increased unabated. As the saying goes, Lao Ji Fu has ambitions for thousands of miles, and he, like many big people with lofty ambitions, constantly challenges his own limits and successfully achieves his personal goals in life. In addition, his compassion for the poor is well known and well known, and he will lend a helping hand to the poor wherever he sees them, no matter where he is or where he travels. Sometimes it was some broken silver, sometimes it was a light meal to satisfy his hunger, and sometimes when he had little money left in his purse, he would divide half of the bread he had to the poor people he met.
He is such a man who is loved by the poor and admired by chivalrous, but hated, jealous and resented by hypocrites and hypocrites, because these people see in him the ugliness behind their hypocrisy and the vitriolic and despicable faces under hypocrisy.
In contrast, they are ashamed of themselves in public and ugly.
Deng Tianyuan is not tall but great, his appearance is mediocre but radiant, and he doesn't talk much, but he makes people listen to him and his words are not welcome, but they are unforgettable.
He was such a man - a pure and great man.
He is also a well-mannered celebrity, he has always been low-key, never compared, never publicized, completely showing the resolute and upright personality of a northern chivalrous man.
In the morning, at the duel venue, he was very dissatisfied with Huyan Wujiang's too flamboyant and ostentatious approach. In his eyes, Huyan Wujiang is simply a despicable clown who flatters the public, a prostitute in glamorous clothes, and a barren stupid big brother who swaggers through the market.
Therefore, when he returned to the inn, he was advised to leave the place quickly, lest he be killed, but he laughed it off.
With his character, of course, he will not sneak away!
Therefore, he chose to stay, and he was determined to leave after five days as a witness.
The so-called, pity and pity, good man cherish good man.
Wu Shuang seems to be very willing to make friends with such a person, he sees justice in him, sees the image of a righteous man and a gentleman, and feels a kind man, that noble and pure beautiful heart.
He admired such a person very much, and he longed for this noble quality, and this is the difference between the enlightened man who sees the wise and the despicable who chases the bad and the ugly.
So, Wu Shuang wanted to invite him to Luoyan City, the most distinctive Wangdu Restaurant, to have a meal, talk about his heart, and chat. As the saying goes, show the best etiquette and receive the most noble guests.
However, this noble guest seemed to be a little unusual.
The more famous the place, the more heavy the place, the more deliberately laid out, the less interested he became, and in this respect he seemed to be a little impersonal - by no means accommodating.
In fact, virtue is the ultimate feeling of virtue in the face of decay, noble in the face of ugliness, and incompatible with fire and water, which is the true face of a husband and a true righteous person, who should be reserved.
Therefore, this not only did not disgust Wu Shuang, but on the contrary, it further inspired him to respect his noble personality, and also made Wu Shuang more determined to make friends with such a person!
So, he found the inn where Deng Tianyuan stayed, and also brought a table full of good wine and food.
Deng Tianyuan is not as good as the people in the rivers and lakes that people imagine, living in luxury inns and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. On the contrary, the inn where he lived turned out to be the most ordinary inn in Luoyan City.
This inn is called Baile Inn, and it is located on the west side of Baile Bridge in Luoyan City.
The most expensive room here only costs ten dollars of silver a night, but the most unexpected thing is that Deng Daxia, who is dignified and "Iron Whip Howling Hebei", lives in the guest room that will be the cheapest room in this inn, and the facilities here are similar to a horse breeder's bedroom, and the room fee is only three dollars of silver a night.
The furnishings were rudimentary, with nothing but a bed, a table, and four benches.
In the autumn chill of August, such rooms also seem to be too cold and lonely.
However, it is fortunate to have attracted the favor of a generation of heroes who have attracted worldwide attention; is this a chance or a coincidence? Is it the Burrow that has enriched the celebrities, or has the Baume and Mercier boosted the quiet name of the Burrow? Maybe it is both, and they are each other! Just as the times call for heroes, and the heroes shake the times, they complement each other.
Tonight, the sky is beautiful, the clouds are open and the fog is foggy, a round of the moon is hanging high, and the breeze is infinite.
The so-called thinking of relatives every festive season, Deng Tianyuan is in a foreign country but does not feel lonely, just to have the company of good friends.
Although Wu Shuang is several rounds younger than him, the two talk and fall in love, and their temperaments are compatible, just like good friends who have been friends for many years.
Deng Tianyuan put down the wine bowl and said self-deprecatingly: "Deng is a poor and sour martial artist, thank you to the owner of Wu Zhuang for being able to afford it, I really feel a lot of emotion when friends treat each other tonight!"
Wu Shuangran said with a warm smile.
Deng Daxia laughed, if Deng Tianyuan and Deng Daxia, who are willing to give money in times of poverty and help in times of danger, are also regarded as poor and sour, then if it is not for the humble eyes of the world, it must be Deng Daxia's self-indulgence. I heard that you have been in the county every time you are poor and give alms, how can you take care of it without hundreds of taels of silver on the way. But you yourself are willing to live in the most humble rooms, eat the cheapest food, try to ask you this chivalrous style not for yourself but for others, how many people can there be in the world today. If you are not willing to be charitable, with your abundant plates, let alone live in the Fengming Inn, even if you live in the county mansion, what is the difficulty!"
Deng Tianyuan laughed and said, "Wu Shaoxia's words are serious, and his words are serious. ”
He suddenly said again: "In the duel arena in the morning, I saw that Huyan Wujiang was salivating over the jade pendant treasure map in Wu Shaoxia's hand, this is probably not a good thing!"
"In Deng Daxia's opinion, what kind of character should Huyan Wujiang be?"
"Deceiving the world and stealing fame, arrogance. ”
"Otherwise," Wu Shuang said, "I see that he is famous and admired by the world, so how can he deceive the world and steal his name and be arrogant?"
"Could it be that Wu Shaoxia didn't see his posture in the duel arena in the morning?" Deng Tianyuan said angrily, "A person of high moral integrity must be humble, cautious, and approachable. And he, looking at the world, empty-eyed, showing off his wealth and magnificence, vulgar, this kind of person seems to be uneasy!"
"Be careful, be careful!" he said, holding up the wine cup and inviting Wu Shuang to drink with him.
Wu Shuang said with emotion: "Deng Daxia is really upright, dare to be angry and dare to hate, which really makes Wu Shuang admire! Five days later, the matter of verifying the treasure map may be complicated, and then Deng Daxia will be asked to help." ”
"That's for sure. Deng Tianyuan drank a full cup and said, "When I came back just now, someone told me that I had offended Huyan Wujiang in the dueling arena, and advised me to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid the disaster of killing." ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass, stood up, took advantage of the clear light all over the ground, paced his steps, and said leisurely: "If I leave like this, I won't be called Deng Tianyuan, this time I will definitely learn the true face of these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”
Saying that, the two clinked glasses and drank them all.
It was the dead of night when he came out of Baile Inn, and a conversation with Deng Tianyuan gave Wu Shuang a new understanding of the rivers and lakes and life, and also made him feel that to become a respected chivalrous man, how many tests and cultivation he had to go through!
Before he knew it, he had stepped on the cold stone slab of Baile Bridge, and at this moment, a person's voice suddenly came from in front of him.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Wu Shuang looked up suddenly, only to see a black-faced man, holding a parting hook, blocking the bridge!
