It was already late, and on the wooden bridge leading to the mushroom forest, there was a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat, fishing with a fishing rod.
He has been fishing for a long time, but he has not gained much. He has been fishing for almost a day today, but he only caught a dozen small carp as big as the palm of his hand. Although it doesn't look too bad, if you only fish this little for a whole day, a normal person will go fishing somewhere else, or else he will deliberately waste time here.
Yes, this guy was wasting his time here, not really fishing here.
This person is another defender of Mushroom Forest, Fisherman Lang Cangsheng.
He fishes here every day, not really for fishing, but to guard the only wooden bridge that can enter the mushroom forest.
The reason why Lang Cangsheng fished here was mainly to kill time. Because it is really boring to stay here every day. The other two guards in the Mushroom Forest have their own things to do. Strange Lady Killer Qiu Shisan can farm the land and plant a few vegetables when he has nothing to do. When he has nothing to do, he can sell them to Sister Xia and earn some money. There are naturally more things that a poor man can do. With just his wooden fish, he could knock on it all day long, and then recite some weird scriptures that even monks and Taoist priests couldn't understand, and had no idea what he was doing. Of course, this is just a boring activity for poor people to pass their boring time. He still has a lot of good things to do.
He is a scholar, so he can still read and pass the time if he has nothing to do. Although he was just a poor and failed scholar, his knowledge was actually quite good. Therefore, he is still the most knowledgeable gentleman in the mushroom forest, responsible for teaching the children who grew up in the mushroom forest to read.
Mu Guiyu guards the last pass, which is also the village entrance to the Mushroom Forest. As long as you pass the Mu Guiyu pass, you can directly enter the Mushroom Forest.
So Mu Guiyu simply brought the children to the entrance of the village, teaching them how to read and write, and at the same time they could read and knock wooden fish by themselves. At the same time, they could guard the entrance of the mushroom forest. They were busier than anyone else.
Lang Cangsheng was guarding the wooden bridge. At this time, he saw two people walking over drunkenly. They were still holding hands and calling each other brothers. They were obviously a little drunk.
Lang Cangsheng could tell at a glance that this person was actually the strange Lady Qiu Shisan.
"Shitlaozi, why did you drink so much?" Lang Cangsheng said with a look of disgust.
"I met a good friend! So I drank a little too much. This is my good brother, Chongjiu, the brother who died together in the past. We just met in the woods, and I didn't come out. I better praise another friend and remind me, I just realized that this is my good brother Chongjiu." Qiu Shisan said a little confused.
"Chongjiu? He wants to go in too?" Lang Cangsheng said a little unhappy.
"He is my brother, so he will naturally sleep with me tonight. Otherwise, where would they go to send messages at this time?" Lang Cangsheng asked.
"That's right! However, the master said that in extraordinary times, no outsiders are allowed to enter. If something happens, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to bear it!" Lang Cangsheng said still a little suspiciously.
"Fuck you! This is my brother Chongjiu, what could happen? Just keep it in your heart. If anything happens, it's all mine and has nothing to do with you!" Qiu Shisan said, already carrying that People cross the bridge and leave.
"But......"
"But I've already said everything. If something happens, you don't have to worry about it! Brother Chongjiu and I will stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. Just don't tell the master." Qiu Shisan said, having already crossed the wooden bridge.
When he arrived in front of Mu Guiyu, Qiu Shisan said the same thing. When Mu Guiyu saw that both Qiu Shisan and Lang Cangsheng had been released, and that they were still Qiu Shisan's friends and Qiu Shisan himself vouched for it, he didn't take it seriously and just continued to teach the children to read.
Qiu Shisan brought Chongjiu in, but he did not go back to his mushroom house for the time being. Instead, he came to Sister Xia's shop to continue drinking.
"Why does this brother look so unfamiliar! Thirteenth brother!" Sister Xia is also an old martial artist, and is also on the list of the top ten swordsmen. Although she is now married, has given birth to a fat boy, and is living a stable life, her experience in the world is still there, and she is more cautious than Lang Cangsheng and Mu Guiyu.
She saw that this person had arrived unexpectedly, and Qiu Shisan was already dizzy from drinking and seemed not very sober, so she asked this question.
"This is my good brother, Chongjiu, who I have known for twenty years. Brother Chongjiu, his name is Sister Xia. Sister Xia is now the housekeeper of our Mushroom Forest." Qiu Shisan introduced.
Originally, the chief butler of Mushroom Forest was Huang Yuefeng, an alcoholic. But after Huang Yuefeng found his son Huang Jishan, he returned to Xiao×Yao×Ge. Jade Rakshasa had no choice but to make Sister Xia the housekeeper, because she was not only good at martial arts, but also more cautious. Moreover, they are both rare female swordsmen on the sword list, so they must appreciate each other!
Although there is still a gap between the two rankings, with Jade Rakshasa ranked sixth and Dagger Chen Xia ranked ninth, the two's martial arts are actually not far apart, and the two often compete together, and they win and lose. Lift each other up.
"Hello, Sister Xia!" Chongjiu could only smile.
"Oh! Brother Chongjiu, where are you from? What do you do for a living now?" Sister Xia then asked.
"Oh! I'm from Shunqing Prefecture, and I'm in the medicine business. I came to western Sichuan to sell some medicinal materials, and I didn't want to run into bandits. Fortunately, I met an old brother here, and Brother Thirteen saved me and I was able to escape." Chongjiu answer.
"You live in Shunqing Mansion? Are you here to sell medicine in western Sichuan?" Sister Xia asked suspiciously again.
"That's right!" Chongjiu's expression remained unchanged, without any flaws.
Sister Xia then took a look at his tiger's mouth, but there were thick calluses and they were very smooth. It was obviously caused by a sword.
"Can Brother Chongjiu use swords?" Sister Xia asked again.
"No! I use a knife." He pointed to the big knife on his back.
This time, Sister Xia immediately felt that something was wrong. Because Sister Xia had already seen that Chongjiu clearly used a sword, but he said that he used a knife.
The calluses on the tiger's mouth are completely different when using a knife and using a sword.
The sword moves lightly and is very active, so the calluses on the tiger's mouth will be worn smooth when using the sword. Using a knife is different. The knife moves steadily, and the wielder must hold the handle tightly. As a result, the tiger's mouth will be left with a deep mark on the handle. Although Chongjiu was carrying a big sword on his back, the mouth of his right hand had no mark on the handle and was very smooth. This shows that he doesn't usually use a knife, but in a few books he uses a sword.
"Oh! So that's it! Boss, please keep an eye on it. There is no meat at home. I'm going to buy some meat!" Sister Xia said, ignoring Qiu Shisan and Chongjiu, and went directly to Jade Rakshasa's Mushroom House told Jade Rakshasa his guess.
