Chapter 37: In Memory of My Dead Dog
It is obviously the summer season, but the north wind is cold between heaven and earth. Guobei County, which used to be full of people and cars, is no longer prosperous in the past. On both sides of the main road in the county, there are almost no open shops, and there are broken board cars parked everywhere in the middle of the road. Some of the carts were covered with thin mats, and when the wind blew, the mats were lifted to reveal blackened bodies. Suddenly, a wild dog ran by, holding a human hand in its mouth, and a few passers-by saw it, and they all quickened their pace and hurried away.
Zhou Xiuchun rode a horse, covering his mouth and nose, his brows furrowed tightly.
After leaving Changqing County for three days, I realized that Wang Xianling was simply a good official who was hard to find in the world, at least compared to the three county towns that he passed through in the past few days, Changqing County was simply a paradise on earth.
After walking along the street for a long time, Zhou Xiuchun finally saw an inn doing business.
led Wangcai to the door of the inn, and the little guy in the store immediately ran out, diligently helped Zhou Xiuchun take the reins of the horse, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, eat or stay in the hotel?"
"Stay. Zhou Xiuchun replied lightly and walked into the house.
The inn was not large, and there were seven or eight tables scattered in the lobby, and on each table sat three or two ragged and unkempt people, and in the innermost corner, there was a one-eyed dragon with a unique shape.
Zhou Xiuchun glanced at them casually, didn't take this group of miscellaneous pieces to heart, and still asked the little guy with an indifferent expression: "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes. There's everything. What would you like to eat?"
"Ten buns, half a catty of beef, and a pot of wine. ”
The little girl asked again: "Do you want the buns to be meat or vegetarian?"
Zhou Xiuchun said: "Vegetarian." ”
The little guy said: "Guest officer, I recommend you to eat meat, the meat buns in our store have thin skin and many fillings, and the aftertaste is endless, all the people who have eaten our meat buns, none of them do not say good." ”
Zhou Xiuchun shook his head and insisted: "It's just the element." ”
"Alas, you are too stingy, and you don't need a few dollars. The little servant grumbled and went into the back kitchen.
After a while, the buns and beef were served.
Zhou Xiuchun picked up a bun, broke it open and looked at it, saw that there was nothing unclean in it, put it under his nose and smelled it, he didn't smell any strange smell, and he didn't think much about it, so he ate one in three or two bites.
More than a dozen people sitting at the next table showed a smile after seeing Zhou Xiuchun eat the buns. They looked at each other, and the biggest of them suddenly said, "How does the bun taste?"
Zhou Xiuchun didn't raise his head and replied: "No taste." ”
"How can it be tasteless?" the big man said with a sneer, "The bun is filled with ten spiced soft tendons, and ordinary people eat it, and they will lie down as long as they eat it dozens of times." I think you're a master, and you doubled the weight, and you don't feel top-heavy and weak all over your body?"
Zhou Xiuchun was silent for a while and asked, "What kind of place is this?"
The one-eyed dragon in the corner stood up, walked to Zhou Xiuchun and sat down, pulled out a knife and stuck it on the table, and said with a cruel smile: "What do you say?"
Zhou Xiuchun looked left and right, and said calmly: "I see the miasma of smoke here, and you have a hideous face, if what you expect is good, this should be a black shop." ”
The one-eyed dragon slammed the table and drank, "You know you dare to come in?"
Zhou Xiuchun smiled faintly and asked rhetorically: "What about the black shop, do you know who I am?"
The one-eyed dragon laughed and said, "I don't care who you are, when you don't have the strength to speak for a while, I'll peel you and cramp and dismantle you to make meat buns!"
"Hahahaha-!"
A large crowd in the room laughed loudly.
Zhou Xiuchun shook his head and sighed: "It's really meaningless for the ignorant, haven't you noticed that the ten incense soft tendons are scattered, and they don't work for me at all?"
The one-eyed dragon seemed to be choked by the throat, and the laughter stopped abruptly. He hurriedly pulled the knife out of the table, took two steps back, looked at Zhou Xiuchun with a solemn expression, and after being quiet for two seconds, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are recruited, you are alone, we are a group of people, where do you want to run? Brothers, give it to me!"
The room was full of hooligans, and they pulled out their knives and slashed at Zhou Xiuchun.
Zhou Xiuchun smiled coldly, raised his foot and kicked away the table in front of him, knocked the two hooligans who came from the front back, and then held a knife in his left hand, and broke it gently, only to hear a crisp sound, the machete broke in two, and then threw the half-cut knife in his hand to the right side, piercing the arm of a hooligan.
"Ahh
Only then did Zhou Xiuchun get up from the chair and pull out the steel knife on his waist.
The knife is out of the sheath, and the knife is pressing.
Where have the little hooligans seen a master of Zhou Xiuchun's level, they suddenly had no courage, threw down their knives, and all escaped from the inn. In the blink of an eye, only the one-eyed dragon and the big man were left, as well as the severed hand man rolling on the ground and screaming.
The one-eyed dragon stood quietly, staring at Zhou Xiuchun silently, a drop of cold sweat hanging on his forehead.
Zhou Xiuchun sighed, walked up to the man with the severed hand, squatted down, pulled out the broken knife inserted in his hand, stuffed a golden medicine into his mouth, and said, "Okay, your injuries are already healed, don't scream, get out of where you need to!"
The man with the severed hand was stunned when he heard this, touched his arm, and found that the wound had healed, and couldn't help but be shocked, and after two flutters on the ground, he landed directly on all fours, and ran out of the inn like a dog, shouting: "Mom!
"Monster, your second uncle, uninformed ** ......" Zhou Xiuchun spat on his back.
Turning around, he saw that the one-eyed dragon and the big man were still there, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you two leave?"
The big man trembled and said, "The inn is my home, I ...... I love my home!"
The one-eyed dragon said in a deep voice, "Who are you sacred?"
"Well said. Zhou Xiuchun introduced himself, "Contemptible Zhou Xiuchun, a disciple of Ziyang Zhenren in Emeishan, a top clinical medical expert in the country, has been elected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Changqing County this year, and he used to be the second leader of the Qinglong Gang in Changqing County, but I have reformed and no longer mix with the members of the club." Right now, I'm going to have fun with the brocade guard, if you're not an idiot, you should kneel down and call me Lord Zhou right now. ”
The one-eyed dragon said angrily: "We are Shuangsha in Guobei County, and we are also well-known men, if you tell us to kneel, we will kneel, so how will we come out to mix in the future? At least give us a reason to mix, right?"
The big man followed, "Just ...... That's it!"
Zhou Xiuchun smiled faintly, raised his hand and swung a knife outside the house.
"Roar!"
There was a tiger roar, and a groove five or six meters long was drawn on the bluestone slab ground outside the house.
"Lord Zhou!"
The one-eyed dragon and the big man pounced, one hugging one of his thighs.
Zhou Xiuchun put the knife back into its sheath, touched their heads, and said comfortingly: "Good." ”
The one-eyed dragon said: "Lord Zhou, take me, I don't want to rob for a long time, I don't have any technical content at all, it's better to be an official to get money quickly!"
The big man said, "I'...... I want to serve the people!"
Zhou Xiuchun nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good to seek progress, follow me in the future, you must be obedient." ”
The two nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Xiuchun asked again: "What are your names?"
The one-eyed dragon said: "My name is Xiang Wentian." ”
The big man said, "I call it any way." ”
"It's not good, these two names are too insulting to your identity. Zhou Xiuchun said.
The one-eyed dragon said: "In this case, please ask Lord Zhou to give you a name!"
Zhou Xiuchun smiled, touched the one-eyed dragon's head, and said softly: "From today on, you will be quiet." Then he said to the big man, "You are called silent." ”
The big man was puzzled: "May I ask my lord, what is the meaning of these two names?"
Zhou Xiuchun's eyes were deep and he said affectionately: "In memory of my dead dog......"
