Song Jiang was a person who liked fun, so he was happy to see Cao Cao and several brothers seeing him off in person. Although he was wearing shackles, he kept making gestures with his hands. He talked about his gun and stick martial arts with everyone along the way, and his mouth watered when he talked happily.
Yesterday, he was slapped in the face by Li Jun. Half of his face was swollen. He screamed in pain from time to time due to the pain caused by the wound. However, he was so cheerful that he refused to stop talking. Cao Cao saw him grinning and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He thought to himself: There are some in this guy. With his true temperament, no wonder he is so famous in the world.
Song Jiang was a civil servant in the government, and had read some classics and history. He began to show off his knowledge without knowing it, and talked endlessly about the past and the present, but his height was limited, and many of his views were crude. Cao Cao had read a lot of history books for more than a year. He aroused his interest in talking about it, and occasionally added a few words. Every time, Song Jiang was enlightened and admired in his heart: "I never thought that the eldest brother of the Wu family was so good at both civil and military affairs. No wonder so many good men were in uniform." he."
Everyone was chatting and talking. Unexpectedly, the road was long. In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon and they reached a town.
This day falls on the second day of May, and in three days' time it will be the Dragon Boat Festival. Many nearby mountain people and fishermen come to the town to go to the market and buy things for the festival. The gathering is crowded and noisy.
After walking a few steps, they saw people watching in front of them. Song Jiang liked to join in the fun, so he first divided the crowds and squeezed a path to invite Cao Cao in. When he stood up and took a look, he saw more than ten long spears and short clubs on the ground. The man is trying to sell plaster.
This man took a stick and danced up and down, left and right, which was quite methodical. Putting down the stick, he used punches and kicks all the way, somersaulting, flying kicks, rolling on the ground, and punching in succession. Song Jiang couldn't help but cheer when he saw it: "What a gun, stick, punch, and kick!"
The man stopped and let out a long breath. He picked up a plate next to him, which contained about ten plasters. He shouted: "Please, ladies and gentlemen, please come! I have come all the way from afar without any friends, so I can make a living by selling some plasters in Guibao." . Although he has no amazing abilities, he relies entirely on his benevolent officials. If he wants plaster, he can redeem it right away. If he doesn’t need plaster, he can also give him some silver and two copper coins, and he will give up teaching in vain."
After that, he took the plate and robbed it, and no one paid. The man swallowed his saliva and shouted again: "Please show me your noble hand." After walking for a while, the onlookers were still silent.
There was a look of panic on the man's face, and he stood blankly in the field, not knowing how to end it. Cao Cao whispered: "This guy is not a smart person, he can't eat this bowl of rice." He sighed and took five taels of silver from his arms. , put it gently on Nahan's plate.
Song Jiang also sighed: "When you eat this bowl of rice, fists and kicks come second. First of all, you can brag. This man is more honest." He asked the gentleman to help him take out five taels of silver and said: "Teacher, I am a criminal and my power is limited. "Fifty taels of silver is a sign of indifference, so don't think it's too trivial."
The man got two ingots of silver, and he couldn't help but look excited, and said loudly: "Jieyang Town is very famous, but there is no wise man to praise our family. It's rare that these two benefactors, one is a passing guest, and the other is more involved. Two ingots of silver were given to me, which is exactly what he said: "In those days, Zheng Yuanhe laughed at him and only bought laughing songs from brothels. He was accustomed to be romantic no matter how rich his family was, and he did not wear too much clothes." These two ingots of silver are better than the two hundred ingots of others! Xiao Ke I bow here and wish to ask for the high surnames of these two benefactors so that the villain can be known throughout the world."
Walking up to him and bowing deeply, Song Jiang said with a smile: "Teacher, how much are these things worth? No need to thank you."
Cao Cao helped the man up with one hand and said in a low voice: "Although you are sincere in what you say, you can't help but bring shame on others. If you eat this bowl of rice, you would rather everyone laugh than make trouble alone. It is said that it is easy to hide with an open sword, but it is difficult to hide from a hidden arrow." Be careful, you are too sincere and you will easily suffer losses if you enter the world alone."
Although Cao Cao's words were accusations, the man felt his heart heat up when he heard them. He clasped his fists and said: "The words of the benefactor are golden words. However, the villain has a rough and rough temper. He really suffered a loss in this worldly manner." many."
Before the man finished speaking, he saw a young man coming in separately from the crowd. He looked like he was only in his early twenties, but his expression was extremely arrogant, and he yelled: "Where are you waiting for a man who dares to come to destroy our prestige in Jieyang Town? I have already ordered everyone not to betray him, how dare you be the first to do so?"
After saying that, he stepped forward and seemed about to take action. Luan Tingyu, Shi Xiu and others stared at each other at the same time. The young man paused, lowered his fists, and shouted: "There are many people, right? If you have the guts, don't leave. Wait until my brother comes here." I tell you to wait until everyone dies."
Cao Cao smiled after hearing this, looked at the other person and said, "My brother is so powerful, how dare we wait for you to call him? Wouldn't it be better to kill you first while he is not around?"
The big man was a little flustered when he heard this, but he put on a tough look on his face: "Man, how many people bully the few, how can you be a good man?"
When the plaster seller heard this, he immediately shouted: "Then let's fight one by one!" He stepped forward and punched him in the face. The young man's eyelids jumped and he hurriedly dodged. Unexpectedly, the plaster seller's punch was a false move. When he dodged, he hooked with his bottom. He moved his legs and fell to the ground.
Luan Tingyu said with a smile: "This guy looks majestic, but his bottom is rootless."
The young man didn't even get up, so he kicked the person on the ground. The plaster man jumped lightly, jumped over the opponent, grabbed the turban and lifted it up, punched him, and made him roll twice on the ground, shouting. Said: "Stay here, stay here."
Cao Cao stopped the plaster seller and said with a smile: "You are one against one, but no one bullies you, why do you stop?"
The young man was sleeping on the ground and shouted: "My boxing and kicking skills are mediocre, but those who are capable will fight with me in a spear and stick fight."
Shi Xiu and others all laughed so much that they fell down and said, "This guy is looking for death. Doesn't a blow with a gun or a stick hurt more than a fist?"
The plaster seller also smiled and pointed at the pile of guns and sticks he brought: "Here, you choose."
The young man stood up quickly and picked up a pen-barrel gun in his hand. The plaster seller casually took an eyebrow-level stick and made a pose like a blue dragon exploring the water, waiting for the opponent to attack. The young man's pen-barrel gun was raised and lowered. , turning left and right, walking quickly in circles around the plaster seller. When he reached the third circle, Shi Qian shouted: "Ah, this guy wants to run away."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the young man suddenly threw the gun and ran away without caring whether it hit him or not.
The plaster seller knocked down his gun with a stick, and when he looked at the other person, he was already running seven or eight feet away. No one expected that he had run away, and they all shook their heads and laughed.
Cao Cao said: "Although this guy is weak, how could anyone else defeat him so easily? Your martial arts skills are also quite extraordinary. I don't know your name?"
The plaster seller hurriedly replied: "The villain is from Luoyang, Henan, and his name is Xue Yong. His grandfather once served as an officer under the old Prime Minister Zhong. He was not promoted because he hated his colleagues. His descendants had to sell guns and sticks." After taking medicine for a long time, people call the villain a 'disease and a big insect' and dare not ask the names of these two benefactors."
Song Jiang then said: "Xiao Ke's surname is Song and his name is Jiang. He is from Yuncheng County, Shandong Province. There has been a lawsuit and he wants to assassinate his wife to Jiangzhou. This eldest brother is even more extravagant. He is the eldest brother Dutou Wu Zhiwu of Yanggu County, known as 'Wu Mengde' ', 'Broken Gate Sword' is him, and he also wants to go to Jiangzhou to work."
Xue Yong was shocked and said: "I am so lucky to meet you! I met two great heroes, Wu Mengde and Shi Yu. I hate to meet you day and night. Who would have thought that we would meet today? The two brothers are here, and I will accept them." Bow!" After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Cao Cao quickly supported him and said: "We are all brothers in the four seas! Since we are brothers, what is the use of this empty ceremony? Let's go and have three drinks and talk!"
