The sun was as hot as fire, and two horses were riding on the official road. The man on the horse wore a bamboo hat on his head and held a knife across his waist. He was so burned by the sun that he looked like he would rather die than live.
Chang Yu reached out and took out the water bag, shook it and sighed. He turned to look to the side. Jiang Fa smiled bitterly and shook his head. There was no river or village around, not even a place to ask for water. Then he glanced behind and saw someone. The caravan team was traveling and said, "I'm going to use the excuse of water, little man."
But he was declined politely, and the seller said that he was also out of water, but there was a town not far ahead.
Chang Yu's mouth was dry and his throat was about to smoke. After hearing this, he and Jiang Fa ran quickly.
Not far?
He was about twenty miles away at least, and the horses had run out of energy.
But the two of them were very angry. Fortunately, they finally saw the town.
The village is close to the official road, and business travelers often stop here. At first glance, there are many people and many shops. There are only four or five tea sheds that are full of people. Chang Yu rushes to a tea shed and has not yet arrived. After being greeted by the waiter, I ran to someone else's water tank, scooped out a few bowls and drank it to my heart's content. This made the waiter unhappy: "This is a tea shed, I'm not letting you fill the water for free."
Chang Yu chuckled and took out a few pennies: "I'll pay for it. Fill this water bag for me."
Drinking crude tea on this hot day is really not as enjoyable as drinking cold water, not to mention that my throat is already smoking from thirst.
The waiter felt happy when he saw his generosity. He hurriedly helped fill the water bag and got water for the horse to drink. At this time, Chang Yu felt hungry again.
The two walked around the town with their horses, and saw a shop selling sesame cakes that also sold chicken soup and dog meat. There were not too many customers inside, so they tied their horses at the door and came in to order a stack of sesame cakes and two large bowls of chicken soup. Jiang Fa was so greedy that he asked for half a catty of dog meat.
There were several beggars standing at the door of the store watching them eat and drink, their eyes shining and they kept swallowing. Seeing this, Chang Yu asked the store owner to give them each a sesame seed cake. One bold beggar smiled and asked: "Young Master, Can I give you some meat?"
Chang Yu raised his fist and said, "Can you eat this?" The beggar then ran away with a smile.
"You kid, what are you doing following me all the way?" At this moment, a big man rushed in and spat on Chang Yu's face.
Looking up, Chang Yu exclaimed: "Broken Knife Man".
It was the down-and-out traveler he met at Luoshui Ferry.
Later, the broken swordsman actually left together with the woman in green clothes, which surprised Chang Yu at that time. After Jiang Fa reminded him that he might have been cheated, Chang Yu decided to follow him secretly.
They just followed for two days and saw nothing unusual. Although the two of them were still confused at this time, they also knew that they were wrong. The big man was so poor, and the woman couldn't get anything from him!
Although he couldn't figure out what the woman in the white and green shirt saw in this man with a broken sword, Chang Yu decided not to follow him anymore. After all, he still had business to deal with, so he left, but he didn't expect to meet him here.
"Why are you giving me such a random nickname?" The man was furious and asked, "Tell me, why are you following me?"
"Fuck, call me handsome." Chang Yu glared, then looked outside: "What about the heroine? Oh, I get it, you've been kicked."
"Fuck you!" The man reached out and took a sesame seed cake from Chang Yu and stuffed it into his mouth: "You idiot, following me all the way, are you trying to trick me?"
Chang Yu made a disgusted look: "I won't even give you that broken knife of yours. Besides, when did I follow you? This road doesn't belong to your home..." As he said this, the big man looked at his mouth in the blink of an eye. After stuffing three sesame seed cakes, he was still not satisfied and reached out to grab the dog meat in front of Jiang Fa.
But he didn't know that Jiang Fa was protecting the food, and clamped the man's hand with a pair of chopsticks. The man let out a hey, and grabbed Jiang Fa's wrist with his backhand. Jiang Fa sneered, locked the man's wrist with a move of gold wire, and pushed out with his inner strength. , the man took two steps back.
It’s only two steps.
"I underestimated you." Jiang Fa put down his chopsticks and stood up. The man laughed and said, "I'm not wrong. I'm really a master. He's also a stingy master. He won't even give up his mouth."
"It's just that this meat is expensive." Jiang Fa smiled and said, "I begged the young master for a long time before I bought this bite."
"Oh, then your young master is too stingy." The man looked at Chang Yu.
"The landlord's family doesn't have much food left," Chang Yu sighed, and suddenly saw a woman in green shirt leading a horse passing by on the road outside the door, and then turned to look here.
"Hey, Nvxia" Chang Yu stood up and walked over: "Nvxia is here to find your loser, he's inside." As soon as Chang Yu finished speaking, a strong wind came from behind him. He didn't even look back and kicked him on the side.
The man failed to make a sneak attack and was almost kicked by Chang Yu. He immediately rushed over in a rage and started punching and kicking Chang Yu. The woman and Jiang Fa watched without moving.
"There's a fight, come and see, there's a fight..."
Soon the surroundings were crowded with spectators, but the storekeeper was very anxious: "You two heroes, please stop fighting, don't fight, you should go out and fight..."
Chang Yu had never been afraid of fighting, but the man was also extremely powerful with his fists and kicks. The space in the store was small and the two of them were fighting hand-to-hand. The more they fought, the more angry they became. In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves passed, and each of them got punched and kicked. The store was completely destroyed. It became a mess and there were more and more onlookers.
"Okay!" The woman in green shirt shouted suddenly: "Second brother, it's important to hurry up."
When the man heard the sound, he jumped out of the circle and said, "I'm looking down on you kid."
Second brother? Chang Yu looked at the woman in green shirt in surprise: "This guy is your brother."
what? The man snorted coldly: "If you follow me again, I won't let you go next time!" As he said this, he looked at something at his feet and was about to bend down to pick it up in confusion. Jiang quickly grabbed it and said, "This is my young master. Don't get your amulet dirty."
Moreover, the man glanced at his mouth, turned and left.
The man left, and the onlookers dispersed. The shopkeeper smiled brightly, because Chang Yu took out a piece of silver and said he would pay for the loss. It was just a few broken bowls, so there was no big loss.
"This guy's boxing and kicking skills are not weak. He is as good as the Chen brothers and Qiao Sanxiu." Chang Yu sat down to eat and drink again, with a few bruises on his face: "There are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world."
Jiang sighed and said, "But Xiao Xiao is sure that he can be defeated in a hundred moves." Chang Yu smacked his lips and said, "Jiang said this to me, doesn't it make me look very shameless?"
Jiang Fa smiled and said, "Young master, you haven't tried your best." Then his face darkened and he said, "I'm afraid his sword skills are not weak either."
"No matter how high you are, it can't be higher than Wuzhong." Chang Yu snorted: "On the other hand, the woman who didn't take action might be the one who really hides her secrets."
Jiang Fa didn't say anything. He lowered his head and ate the dog meat. Suddenly he thought of something: "Will he be exposed?"
The amulet he picked up just now is actually Chang Yu's waist badge. It says: Admiral of the East Police Factory, which is equivalent to Chang Yu's ID card.
Chang Yu thought for a moment: "That guy doesn't look like a literate person. Even if he is literate, he may not be able to see it clearly at a glance. This waist badge is only one in Ming Dynasty. I'm sorry he has never seen it."
Carefully sailing the Wannian Ship, Jiang Fa nodded slightly, still a little worried in his heart: "Let's leave early after eating."
