The days that followed were quite peaceful, Xiang Nan and the Lu family did not visit, Marco Polo concentrated on developing his new weapon, and Chen Yihua and Xie San'an traveled east and west, occasionally learning martial arts.

Lu Xiufu often asked Lu Ya to get drunk and white, and he didn't arrange anything, just chatting together, or taking him around the capital. Although he feels closer than in the past, Lu Ya's heart knot has never been untied, so he doesn't mention much about his recent situation, Lu Xiufu asked, Lu Ya only said, It's okay. And Lu Ya asked Zhang Shijie what he wanted me to do in Dadu, and Lu Xiufu said, I'll talk about it in a few days, it's not time yet.

Jia Buping is the most leisurely, he drinks and recites poetry on weekdays, and naturally he is also a crooked poem that is pieced together by borrowing other people's famous sentences, and he often goes out to do things for others and cheat some money. Xie San'an and Chen Yihua couldn't get used to him, rarely interacted with him, and occasionally called him back and forth, and Jia Buping didn't mind. Although Lu Ya also thinks that this person is idle all day long, cheating on food and drink, but he is a friend of the master and his sworn brother, so it is difficult to say anything. I just think that his whereabouts are secretive, and sometimes I don't know where he went all night, and I don't come back all night.

On this day, Lu Xiufu sent Tietou Qi to Xiuyuan, saying that he wanted to invite Lu Ya to Zui Taibai, Lu Ya thought that this time he took the initiative to invite me to say what Uncle Zhang had arranged for me to do, and Jia Buping followed him just as he was about to go out, "Go to a restaurant as big as Zui Taibai and don't call me? It just so happens that I haven't drunk alcohol in the past few days, so I just happened to go to eat wine with you." ”

Lu Ya smiled: "What are you going to do? I'm not going to eat." ”

Jia Buping rubbed his eyes, and seemed to have just woken up, "Don't forget that we swore an oath, we are blessed to share, the drunken Taibai Chen is a well-known figure in the capital, since you know him, you should introduce him to my brother and me, and he will take care of me in the future." ”

Lu Ya thought to himself, it turned out that this Jia Buping was a powerful eye, "You are not people on the same road at all, why do you want others to take care of you." ”

Jia Buping said: "The poor are making trouble, no one asks, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, the world is hot and cold, do you think my brother is embarrassing to you? ”

Lu Ya was helpless, so he had to say: "Where did my brother come from, I'll take you there, as for whether to eat or drink, I can't be the master." ”

Jia Buping turned his anger into joy: "It's good to get to know Chen Dangjia." ”

The two hurried to the drunken Taibai Liquor House hand in hand. Along the way, Lu Ya thought that Master is a big hero admired by everyone, although he is very good to himself, he usually talks too seriously, unlike Jia Buping, who is disrespectful to the old, but at this time, he feels that he is very close to Jia Buping, a villain who is despised by others.

After the two arrived at the drunken Taibai, Lu Xiufu invited the two of them upstairs to sit down, seeing that Jia Buping was dressed sloppily and looked obscene, he was not very happy, and thought to himself how Ya'er could make friends with such a person, but how could he say this clearly in front of Jia Buping, so he asked Lu Yadao: "What is Ya'er's name as the Taoist chief?"

Lu Ya introduced to both parties: "This is my brother-in-law who just worshipped, Jia Buping, Jia Daochang." This is the big boss of Drunk Taibai, the shopkeeper of Chen. ”

Jia Buping made a joke: "Chen Da is in charge, and he has been admired for a long time." Poor and polite. ”

Lu Xiufu nodded, looked Jia Buping up and down carefully, and did not return the salute to Jia Buping, but turned to Lu Ya and said: "This Taoist seems to be older than me, how can he marry you as a righteous brother?"

Lu Ya shook his head helplessly and said, "This matter is a long story......

Before Lu Ya could explain, Jia Buping suddenly said: "Don't talk about it for a long time, just let you and I know the things between us." As he spoke, he turned his face to Lu Xiufu, shook his head and said, "If you have friends from afar, how can you have an empty stomach?"

Lu Xiufu was stunned when he heard this, and Lu Ya knew that his brother was witty, so he explained: "Don't be surprised by the big boss, he is hungry." ”

When Lu Xiufu heard this, he thought how could there be such a person, but first, he was Lu Ya's brother-in-law, and second, he was a monk, so he just regarded it as a charity, so he instructed Su Dajun and said: "Army, prepare a meal." ”

Jia Buping stood up and waved his hand and said, "It's not a big boss, who do you think of me?"

Lu Ya was also stunned at the moment, and thought to himself, "Don't you have to eat and drink with me, why don't you want it?"

But seeing Jia Buping's serious expression, he said sternly: "Poor Dao never eats vegetarian, and it is best to have wine." ”

Lu Xiufu was secretly angry in his heart, this Taoist priest was thick-skinned enough, but he didn't care about a few dishes, not to mention that these days, Lu Ya came and left, and the father and son had not eaten together once, so he ordered the army: "Prepare a good banquet." ”

Jia Buping was overjoyed, "Sure enough, it's still the generosity of Chen Da's family, this Lu Ya gives me a vegetarian diet every day, and I have to buy the wine myself, how can I look like a younger brother?"

Lu Ya knew that he was like this, and he didn't explain it.

After a while, the banquet was set, Lu Ya saw that Jia Buping was begging for wine and meat here today, Lu Xiufu had no intention of refusing, thinking that I am afraid that today's father will still not say anything about Zhang Shijie's letter, so he simply talked about some interesting things in the rivers and lakes, and Lu Ya told Lu Xiufu about being attacked by a hungry wolf a few days ago and how he met Jia Buping.

Lu Xiufu was taken aback and said, "You mean you were attacked by a hungry wolf a few days ago?"

Lu Ya asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Lu Xiufu put down his chopsticks, "Are you sure it's a wolf?"

Jia Buping interjected on the side: "I think it must be a fox spirit eating people, not a wolf." ”

Lu Ya has always felt strange about this matter, and said, "I have been fighting with that wolf for a long time, and there will be no mistake." It's just that the person who led me to the City God Temple, I don't know what the bottom of the road is. ”

Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Jia Buping: "Daoist Jia, what is the basis for you to say that you are a fox spirit?"

Jia Buping drank all the wine in the cup, then poured another glass, deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "What Lu Ya saw is indeed a wolf, but most of this is a fox, do you know the way?"

Lu Ya pushed him: "Big brother, you also lied to Master Chen." ”

But Lu Xiufu seemed to be very interested in this matter: "Ya'er, let the Taoist chief continue." ”

Jia Buping said in a low voice: "Last night, I went to Heyimen and did something for a person surnamed Liu......

Lu Ya didn't believe it, and said, "You went out last night?"

Jia Buping said: "You don't live with me, how do you know that I am haunted by Ludao, not to mention that you sleep like a dead dog." ”

Lu Ya thought to himself, I am deaf and clear-sighted, and I have practiced since I was a child, and I usually sleep with three points of wakefulness, I don't know if you go out of the way, but it is not good to fight Jia Buping's face, so he smiled silently.

I heard Jia Buping say again: "Everyone in charge of the family calls him Mrs. Liu, he has a daughter named Liu Qiao, who died of smallpox before, and the coffin stopped in the backyard......

Lu Ya and Lu Xiufu listened carefully, and were gradually attracted by Jia Buping's story.

"The next person hurriedly returned to Mrs. Liu, when Mrs. Liu came to see, the coffin was already silent, and he heard the sound of the wind blowing around the mourning hall, and from time to time there were two wild cat meows, he came to the front and gently opened the coffin lid with his hand, his hand trembled slightly, and his face was in cold sweat, and finally he opened the coffin......"

The more Jia Buping spoke, the lower his voice became, and the slower he spoke, just as Lu Xiufu and Lu Ya listened attentively, "Wow!" This Jia Buping suddenly shouted, which startled the two of them, Lu Xiufu's hand holding the wine glass shook, and the wine spilled out, and Jia Buping laughed.

Lu Ya patted his chest and said: "Just know that you are talking nonsense, how do you know that people are sweating and shaking? ”

Jia Buping took a sip of wine and said, "I'm just setting off the atmosphere." ”

Lu Xiufu put down his wine glass, looked displeased, and said: "Daoist Jia likes to joke too much, and it's not child's play for monsters to eat people." ”

Who knew that Jia Buping continued: "I'm not joking, then Mrs. Liu opened the coffin, but Liu Qiao's body inside was gone." ”
