Chapter 62: Flying Knives
After Sun Guan finished speaking, he waved his hand at his subordinates and said, "Bring the flowers up." ”
As soon as Sun Guan's words fell, from the crowd behind him, two younger brothers walked out, each holding a large flower basket more than one person high. The skeleton of the flower basket is made of willow branches, and it is dotted with colorful flowers, which looks very bright. On the flower basket, there is also a piece of red cloth, and a few small black characters are embroidered on the red cloth: Congratulations on the opening of the Xicheng Xiangxiao Summer Food Stall! Look at another flower basket, the red cloth is embroidered: I wish the business a prosperous and prosperous life!
Seeing this, Li Meng was a little puzzled. The Yihe Society had nothing to do with their Flying Eagle Gang at all, how could Xu Ruochen send someone to send a flower basket to congratulate them? Moreover, they even knew the name of their food stall, so it seemed that they had been concerned about this matter for a long time.
Before Li Meng could figure out what was going on, Sun Guan was behind Li Meng and saw Zhu Xiaopang, who was bloated. Seeing Zhu Xiaopang's figure, it is very similar to the life-saving benefactor described by the gang leader. So, Sun Guan bowed to Zhu Xiaopang and said, "This must be Zhu Shaoxia, right?"
When the little fat man heard this, his heart blossomed with joy. I have lived for sixteen or seven years, and for the first time someone calls myself a young man. The little fat man hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Yes, I am Zhu Xiaopang!"
Sun saw that Xiaopang admitted and helped to do what he had asked him to do, and it was finally completed. So, he said: "Zhu Shaoxia, our helper asked me to convey my gratitude to you." If there is anything useful in the future, you can just ask. ”
The little fat man hurriedly said: "You guys are too polite! Come, don't stand here, please take a seat." Today everyone is open to eat, and I have a treat!"
Originally, Sun Guan wanted to excuse himself, but later saw that the little fat man was gracious, so he had to sit on two tables with his subordinates.
Li Meng secretly pulled the sleeve of the little fat man, and asked quietly: "Senior brother, when did you help Xu Ruochen? Could it be that Xu Ruochen was stabbed by his men the day before yesterday, and you rescued him?"
The little fat man smiled and nodded, and before he could elaborate, he saw a few more people. These people also know the little fat man, it is Jin Buyan who wears civilian clothes and a few people in the yamen who catch fast. It turned out that these catchers were almost finished eating, and suddenly heard the sound of cannons outside, and they were curious, so they looked for the sound to see what happened?
When the little fat man saw his acquaintance, he didn't care about talking to Li Meng, so he hurriedly walked up to Jin Buyan and them, and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, you are here too." ”
When Jin Buyan saw the little fat man, he was curious, so he asked, "Little fatty, why are you here?"
The little fat man said, "A friend of mine opened it, since everyone is here, sit down and eat." I paid for everything I ate today. ”
A few catchers were still prevaricating at first, but later they couldn't twist the little fat man's kind invitation, so they also sat down.
Li Meng naturally knew these people, and knew that they were the catchers of Lianyun Mansion, and they were also the local city management. Although Li Meng's cultivation is good, he usually hardly deals with these catchers. Anyone who has opened a store understands that if you want to build a store, you must first have a relationship. This kind of relationship refers to the relationship between the underworld and the white way. Otherwise, if someone comes to your store every day to collect protection money, if you don't give it, they will play tricks on customers in your store, and even worse, smash your store, which no one can stand. Li Meng's Boxer nature can be regarded as an "underworld", plus there is a little fat man who befriended the Flying Eagle Gang to help, and the underworld has passed. The relationship between Bai Dao is also despised, and Bai Dao refers to these people in the government. It has nothing to do with those Bai Dao, they come to your door every day and charge you for sanitation and land occupation and operation fees, although the money is not much, but they can't stand all kinds of random charges! If you don't give it, it will be more serious than offending Bai Dao. They will let you suspend business for rectification, at least three or five days, or ten days and half a month, who can bear this! Seeing that the little fat man actually eats all in black and white, Li Meng not only admired this fat brother.
After Catcher Kuai also took a seat, Li Meng and Little Fat Man took turns toasting between the Flying Eagle Gang and Catcher Quick. Just as everyone was drinking happily, suddenly, I heard a grumbling song in the distance.
"It was getting late, wandering alone in the dark streets.
Looking into the distance with hopeful eyes, I was waiting for a girl.
Lovesick tears rolled down the chin.
Lonely nights, with no one to accompany you.
The pain in my heart that is difficult to erase can only be borrowed from a cup.
Right and wrong in the past, should or shouldn't.
All the knots in the heart, when will they be untied.
Between the slightly frowning brows, there seems to be endless sadness.
The heart is dead, like a withered rose. ”
This song is poignant and heartbreaking to listen to. It was as if he had become a frustrated man wandering alone on the dark streets that night, looking into the distance obsessively, thinking of the woman he had once loved.
The little fat man and Li Meng glanced at each other and were overjoyed. The two of them had already heard that this was the seed of infatuation, the singing voice of their uncle and master Liu Hongzhe. The little fat man and the others understood that it was obviously the master who didn't like to sit with these chaotic people. I only watched the situation from a distance and finished singing the song. After the singing was finished, there was no more sound, and I don't know if Liu Hongzhe has gone away. Little Fat Man and Li Meng, the young men and women, they both saw the sighs in each other's eyes, and sighed for the frustrated love of their uncle and master.
This / night is busy, and there is no one until the ugly time. Li Meng's little fat man was so tired that he really wanted to lie on the ground and not move. As soon as I saw the silver again, I immediately came to the spirit.
"Little junior sister, how much silver did you sell today?" the little fat man quietly asked Li Meng, who was in charge of the silver.
"Twenty-three taels more. Li Meng also suppressed the joy of not knowing. If this is the case every day in the future, these Boxer brothers will no longer have to go out to cheat and live a life of being spit on for food and drink.
After listening to this, the little fat man was also happy for them. Because they still had to go to work during the day, the little fat man didn't help them clean up the mess and retired first.
The little fat man who tossed this night was tired, so he went home and fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, the sun was shining on my buttocks. The little fat man got up in a hurry, went to Tofu Xi Shi to drink a bowl of soy milk, and hurried to the yamen to run errands.
Working in the yamen, when there is nothing to do every day, it is to patrol. The little fat man remembered that he had agreed with the boss of the blacksmith to pick up the fly today, and I don't know if he had built it? So, during the lunch break, the little fatty man changed his clothes and came to the blacksmith shop.
As soon as the little fat man entered the door, he saw the boss bare/naked, where he made a sword with a hammer. Beads of sweat flowed down the boss's neck. In order to be able to build a good weapon, the boss doesn't seem to pay attention to the heat.
"Boss, busy!" the little fat man began by greeting the boss.
The boss heard someone talking, looked up, obviously recognized the little fat man, and said, "It's you!" The boss said, his hand was not idle, he stepped up a few hammers, and saw that the model of a sword had come out, and felt that there was no flaw, so he quickly put the red-burned sword into the pool next to it. Only the sound of Ziz was heard, and a puff of green smoke came out of the pool.
The little fat man saw that the boss had reached a critical moment in building the sword, and he didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood silently and watched all this. After a short while, the boss slowly took the sword out of the pool. The sword has cooled down, and it looks like a normal sword. The boss looked at it and seemed to be satisfied, so he put the freshly made sword on the table beside him. The boss washed his hands in the sink, picked up a towel, wiped the water stains on his hands, and then said to the little fat man, "You're here to get your knife, right?"
The little fat man nodded and said, "Yes, boss, is the knife ready?"
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll get it for you. The boss said, turning and walking towards the back hall.
It didn't take much effort, and the boss came out. In the hands of the boss, there was a plate on which several silver-glittering knives were placed. The boss put the plate on the table, and the little fat man endured the ecstasy in his heart, picked up a throwing knife, and looked at it carefully. I saw that this flying knife was exactly the same as the flying knife on the knife book, and it was very light to hold in my hand. At this moment, the little fat man had an urge to try the knife. So, after the little fat man paid the remaining 200 yuan, he asked the boss for a blanket, put the ten flying knives in it, and said goodbye to the boss and went out.
There are too many people in the city, and it is inconvenient to practice knives. So, the little fat man took these flying knives and went to the grove outside the city. It's noon and it's hot. People are at home fanning themselves or taking a nap, and few people choose to go out at this time. As a result, the woods are relatively quiet now. Except for the crisp call of the birds and the rustling of the leaves in the wind, there was no one to be seen.
The little fat man is more satisfied with this environment, and no one should disturb him if he practices flying knives here. The knife duel on "Flying Dust Knife Method", the little fat man has seen it in private in the past few days, and now he remembers it clearly, even with his eyes closed, he can also conceive various gestures in the knife spectrum in his mind, and the method of transporting the knife to launch.
The little fat man made a target from a dozen paces away, that is, he broke an orange wildflower from the flowers next to him and tied it to the willow branch. Although it was windy today, it was not very windy, and it could only be regarded as a breeze. In the breeze, the orange wildflowers swayed slightly. However, all this affects the little fat man's aim. I saw the little fat man holding the knife according to the gesture on the knife score, aiming at it for a while, and feeling that it was almost there, the little fat man threw the knife violently. I saw that the knife seemed to turn into a silver light, and rushed straight towards the wild flower.
