The talented man picks the stars and drinks together, the beautiful woman invites the moon to drink together, the beautiful house and the jade house are full of joyful songs, how can we see the disaster of the empty wall?
Zaoli sold fish and meat, and cooked pots in rivers and lakes. At that time, he was also called a mad devil, and he taught the Spring and Autumn Period to recognize me.
The star sinks to the north of the Yangtze River, in Haiyin County.
Although the Xingchen River, the Sunset River and the Yueyong River are both called the Three Rivers of the Shengguo, their weight is actually smaller. How big is the difference? The Sunset River was once famous for its "Long River Sunset" scene. Sunset River is called "river" for short, and Yueyong River is called "jiang" because of "Yueyong River". Regional names such as Henan, Hebei and Jiangnan and Jiangbei also gained this honor and became popular because of these two national treasures. . But Xingchenjiang can only be called Xingchenjiang. It uses the same full name as other second-class or even unknown small rivers. One of them is that because of its narrow water area, if you have to say it, it can even be regarded as Yueyong. It is a tributary of the Yangtze River; secondly, it descends from the high mountains in the southwest but leads to the South China Sea. Not to mention the short waterway, it also looks a bit unusual in the situation where hundreds of rivers flow into the sea in the east.
But the reason why it is listed as one of the three major rivers is that the Xingchen River naturally has its own unique feature - it is deep, bottomless deep, otherwise it would not be named "Xingchen".
It seems like even the stars in the sky will sink here.
Haiyin County is located in the north of the Xingchen River, but the entire administrative scope of Haiyin County spans two places. Because it is too far away from the capital, it can be regarded as a "three no matter" zone, that is, no matter what the sky or the earth. , the emperor doesn’t care - both are border, and both are close to the South China Sea, but this place is different from the extremely rich Southeast China Sea, which has opened commercial ports. The southwest land has always been barren with dangerous mountains and rivers. His Majesty the Emperor likes to exile the guilty officials here. Come to think of it. It was to take advantage of the salty sea breeze to keep them awake.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. A piece of chicken rib in His Majesty's eyes may be a piece of fat in the mouth of the subordinate officer. This is almost the governor's talk hall. He said that no one dares to go to the east. He said that everyone will beat the dog. Don't dare to chase the chicken.
In short, this is a lawless place where unruly criminals gather, and the officials here are even darker than them.
Two young swordsmen walked into a restaurant in the county town. The two of them looked to be in their early twenties, with thin skin and tender flesh, handsome appearance, and a simple long sword on his waist. His face was full of excitement, and his eyes were looking around at everything. They are all novel; the other swordsman looks much older, about thirty years old. Different from his companions, his expression is a little indifferent, and he seems to have nothing to do with everything around him, and his sword It was slung across his back and wrapped round and round with white linen.
"Junior Brother, Master finally agreed to let us go out, why do you look so uninterested?" It was the young swordsman who spoke, and he actually called his companion who was obviously older than him "Junior Brother". This scene made People feel a little weird.
"Brother...brother," the older swordsman paused, as if he was not used to this title: "You have been in the mountains since you were a child and have never seen the outside world, so naturally you find it novel and interesting, but I have been outside for the first half of my life. I’m used to seeing this.”
The older swordsman explained to his senior brother in a serious manner. Unexpectedly, the senior swordsman did not listen carefully at all, but started a lively conversation with the owner of the restaurant.
"Do the two guests want to sit in the lobby or in the private room?" The shopkeeper was very discerning. When he saw that both of them were carrying long swords, he knew that these two people were from the world, and their attitude was very enthusiastic. "Our store is newly opened. The tables, chairs and benches are all custom-made by carpenters. The dishes are also very complete, including beef, sheep, pork and chicken from the inland, and fish, shrimp and shells from the seaside."
"Let's just go to the lobby. The lobby is more lively." The young swordsman looked around curiously - he had lived with his master on the mountain since he could remember, and had rarely seen the world of lights, feasting, and flowers. There were not many people on the mountain, which made him unfamiliar with the lively atmosphere. Very yearning for it.
After the two of them sat down in the lobby, the young swordsman smiled boldly at his junior brother: "Master never lets us drink alcohol. This time I have to taste the taste of wine when I go out."
The older swordsman opened his mouth and was about to say something to stop him, but after thinking about how the other party usually behaved his own way, he gave up and simply said: "Then let's agree that drinking is okay, but you can't be greedy. I said Stop drinking and stop drinking.”
This pair of senior brothers is also interesting. The older one is called "Junior Brother" but behaves like a mother-in-law, while this younger senior brother looks like the former's child.
The two of them ordered ordinary rice wine and some special seafood from Haiyin County as snacks. The rice wine tasted slightly sweet. The younger brother drank several bowls of it like drinking sugar water, and there was already a blush on his cheeks. appeared, and his voice and movements also became a little louder, which attracted the attention of the guests at the tables next to him. If it weren't for the fact that these two men carried weapons with them, they would have come over to talk to them.
"Okay, you're drunk, don't drink anymore." The older swordsman brought the wine jar in front of him: "Be careful about your image, people are looking at us."
Although this elderly swordsman claims to have seen a lot of the glitz and glamor of the world, he has obviously never been to a wine table - one of the taboos at the wine table is "you have drunk too much."
Old Jiu Mengzi couldn't stand this sentence, and this little senior brother who was trying something new for the first time was also unavoidable. When he heard this, he was a little dissatisfied: "Who said I drank too much? I think wine is nothing more than this." ! Others can just watch it if they see it. We don’t have a bare butt, so let them see it!"
Drunk people generally cannot control their volume. The younger brother's words made the guests nearby laugh. The older swordsman also frowned, as if he thought the words were too vulgar: "Brother...brother, why are you talking nonsense?"
Just when the younger brother was about to retort, they heard a pinging sound above their heads, and then a male voice cursed in a rough voice: "It's your blessing that I fell in love with you, why don't you give me the face?" Shameless, right?"
Immediately afterwards, two broken bottles of wine flew down from upstairs. Since the seats of these two people were located exactly at the wooden staircase in the center of the lobby, the wine in the bottles instantly splashed all over them.
"Fuck..." The young swordsman immediately stood up. Anger arose in his heart, and evil grew in his heart. Anyone who had a good meal and was suddenly sprinkled with wine would be furious. He He drew his sword and raised his feet to rush upstairs, but was stopped by his companion.
"Master said to be careful when going out, and remember not to quarrel with others. We have almost eaten, so let's leave now and don't cause more trouble." The older swordsman tried to dissuade him earnestly. His expression was also a little nervous. It seemed that he was I'm really worried about my companions going up and fighting for their lives.
As expected, the words were met with ridicule from the people around him. For a while, there were sarcastic remarks, sarcasm, and bragging voices from those who just watched the excitement. Anyway, the wine was not poured on them.
"I was pretending to be carrying a sword. I thought he was a powerful person, but he turned out to be a coward."
"Oh, it turns out it's an old coward with a little drunkard."
"I'm not bragging. If this happened to me, I would have to go up and use a bench to cut off the poor guy."
"Master, Master, Master, you will use Master to oppress me!" The young man was already thin-skinned, not to mention that the young swordsman had never experienced the world. He first complained to his companions, and then glared at everyone, unsheathing the sword at his waist, The bright cold light shocked many people for a while: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will chop off the base of your tongue first!"
Someone boldly spoke up. Although the volume was lowered, the meaning was still yin and yang: "Why are you so awesome with us? Go up and chop him!"
Before he finished speaking, he walked around his junior brother and ran upstairs along the wooden stairs. The older swordsman was worried about his safety and followed him.
As soon as the young swordsman arrived upstairs, he saw four or five people dressed as servants blocking the stairs. Through the wall, he could still see a burly man pulling on a good-looking young woman. , half of the skirt was torn, and there were clearly red palm prints on the woman's face.
When the woman saw an extraordinary-looking swordsman jumping up from downstairs, holding a sword, she hurriedly called for help: "Help, hero, this guy wants to be frivolous with me!"
The young swordsman originally wanted to ask for an explanation because he was drunk and was only drunk and provoked by other people's words before he drew his sword out of its sheath. However, seeing that the bully wanted to take over a weak woman in broad daylight, Anger arose spontaneously, and he thrust his sword towards the opponent.
The older swordsman didn't want to cause trouble, but his companion had already stepped forward. How could he watch him fall into a tight siege, so he took off the sword on his back to help his senior brother, but did not open the cloth scabbard , thinking about it, I don’t want to hurt other people’s lives.
The young swordsman thought he could easily deal with these four or five people. After all, large numbers of people might not be useful in a narrow road like the corridor. But what he didn't expect was that four or five more people rushed out from the private room immediately. The leader was A middle-aged man with a strong body, who seemed to be quite skilled in martial arts, flew up and kicked the young swordsman on the head.
Bu Sword arrived first and stopped the flying kick. The older swordsman charged forward and covered the young swordsman behind him. The middle-aged martial artist's eyes were shocked, and he seemed to have noticed that the opponent's martial arts was extraordinary, so he began to attack. .
The fists and feet were short and fast, as fast as picking up thunder and holding lightning, the cloth sword opened and closed, and the momentum was like a torrential wave. In the blink of an eye, the two had fought for more than ten rounds, and they were evenly matched.
"Who are you?" The bully pushed the woman in his arms into the hands of the servant, and asked when the two people in the center were facing each other.
"We are just passers-by eating here. Just now, my senior brother and I were splashed all over by the wine you poured from upstairs. We have lost all interest in eating. I came up to ask for an explanation from you." The young swordsman squeezed in from behind his junior brother again. out.
"Hmph..." The bully snorted contemptuously, pulled the woman into his arms again, and casually said to the servants: "Give them five taels of silver and send them away." After that, he turned around and entered the private room. .
"Keep that girl, too." The bully heard a high-pitched voice coming from behind.
"Do you know her?" The bully raised his eyebrows, looking very unhappy. When he saw the young swordsman shaking his head, he asked in confusion: "Then you are meddling in this business?"
"The girl said she didn't want to do this." After a while of commotion, the young swordsman was almost sober, and a cruel look appeared on his handsome face.
"Fuck! Are you fucking sick?" The bully suddenly became angry. He just felt that these two people were unreasonable. He pushed the woman in his arms away and ignored her. He slowly walked towards the two of them with fists and sleeves rolled up: "Do you fucking know who I am? You don't even dare to do anything about me. Mix it up?"
Just when the battle was about to break out, the shopkeeper of the restaurant came out from behind the swordsman and stopped him: "Master Gao, don't be angry. We have something to talk about..." The shopkeeper pushed the two swordsmen away as he spoke. They were pushed downstairs to avoid further conflicts.
The two swordsmen were unwilling to move on the stairs, but were forcefully pulled down by a huge force behind them until they were pulled into the kitchen downstairs.
While stumbling, the older swordsman also saw that the atmosphere of laughter and laughter on the first floor had turned silent. The diners who were still sarcastic and sarcastic towards the two of them were now just immersed in eating their rice as if they were mute.
The two outsiders didn't know, but their local natives knew that there was only one possibility for the young master named Gao in Haiyin County - the children of the Gao family, how could they afford to offend them? The brother who shouted just now, "I'm not bragging, if I do, I'll eat him" is now eating the most, with his head buried the lowest.
"You two, are you not locals?" Only then did the two swordsmen see clearly the source of this powerful force. This man had a beard on his face and it was impossible to find his mouth at first glance. He was dressed in a brown cloth with a short sword and a waist. There was also a jet black rag tied between his legs, and his palms were shiny - he turned out to be a cook.
"Well... passing by here." The older swordsman didn't know what this man meant. He hesitated for a moment and said concisely.
The bearded chef laughed twice, and then asked: "What happened up there? Why did you have a conflict with Gao Lin, the second generation ancestor?"
The young swordsman rolled his eyes at him, meaning why am I talking to a cook like you? But he was grabbed by the cook's shoulders and couldn't break away. The older swordsman was more perceptive, and he heard something from the cook's mouth—— Firstly, the cook knew the bully, and secondly, the cook probably didn't have a good impression of that guy - the word "second generation ancestor" couldn't be used as a compliment, so he briefly explained the whole story.
After listening to the elder swordsman's narration, the cook smiled and shook his head: "You two little brothers, it's a good thing that you are brave and courageous to fight against injustice, but you don't have to stand out in everything. That Gao Lin is the son of the county lieutenant. Li has always been domineering, I'm afraid your life will be difficult if you offend him...even our small shop will suffer."
After hearing what the cook said, the young swordsman glared at him and said contemptuously: "Bah! After all, it's all about your business. Doesn't that innocent girl deserve to be killed by him? If you don't help, forget it. And you brought us here to watch her being harmed by that bastard? You are helping others!"
After saying that, he added as if to vent his anger: "Huh, why am I talking to a cook like you? You will only be able to play with these pots and pans for the rest of your life."
The older swordsman frowned, as if he thought his companion's words were too harsh. As someone who had experienced the outside world, he could understand what the cook was doing - after all, people had to make a living, so he explained: "It's us who act rashly. I didn’t think carefully and caused trouble for you.”
"Hehe..." The bearded chef smiled nonchalantly, and looked at the young swordsman: "I have indeed played with pots and pans for half my life, but what are the similarities and differences between people and things in this world and pots and pans? ?”
"This river and lake is basically a cauldron for cooking people - the common people are the fish and meat boiling in oil, and the powerful people are the diners waiting to be served." It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured, this sloppy The sloppy cook here can actually make some sense.
"It is a good thing for children in the world to help each other when there is injustice. It is commendable to be brave, but you must also consider it carefully - have you considered that Gao Lin may not be your opponent when you are looking for trouble? To say the least, you have saved this girl's life today. So what if you are innocent? You are just a ranger and walked away, but what if Gao Lin causes trouble for this girl or even their family again in the future? Can you still control her for the rest of your life? "
"Ha, that's easy to say. You have said so much, but you have nothing to say. Then you have an idea?" The young swordsman gradually felt a little ashamed. He was still a little presumptuous in his actions, but the young man's heart was always arrogant. , he was still aggressive.
Just when the cook was about to speak, the curtain of the back kitchen was suddenly opened, and Gao Lin had already led a group of his men to kill here.
"Fuck me!" Gao Lin was holding back his anger at this time. The shopkeeper was too tactful, and made him upset by talking about the righteousness of a gentleman, so he stopped listening to his words and led people directly down to catch these two flies to vent his anger. At this time, when he saw these two people who had disturbed his good affairs, he directly asked his subordinates to come forward.
"Wait a minute!" The cook stretched out his hand and shouted loudly: "Master Gao, does he know who owns this restaurant?"
Gao Lin's eyes widened and he was about to scold the cook for being ignorant, but the middle-aged martial artist behind him whispered something to him.
"Eternal Life Alliance?" Gao Lin narrowed his eyes.
"Since Mr. Gao also knows that this restaurant belongs to the Changsheng Alliance, you might as well give him some face and don't use force."
"Hey, so what about the Eternal Life Alliance?" Gao Lin was obviously very disdainful, "They are just some unscrupulous people in the world. Do you really think that I, Gao Lin, are afraid of them?"
Afraid? Afraid of a bird egg! Gao Lin still doesn't know how to write the word "fear" in his life! A group of warriors from the Changsheng Alliance dare to make trouble on his own head? His father is a county lieutenant who controls the troops of a county!
"Mr. Gao, the Changsheng Alliance and the Haiyin County Government have always been on good terms with each other. Many affairs in the county are facilitated by these 'ganghushuangmao'. I'm afraid you will hurt the harmony between the two families by saying this." This cook is quite capable. He said that he might have done lobbying before becoming a cook.
"You're a cook, why do you talk so much?" Gao Lin was offended by the cook. He was not a person who liked to listen to other people's reasoning: "The cook just needs to cook well. Get out of the way." , or I’ll beat you too.”
Although he said he was not afraid, Gao Lin was still a little wary in his heart. After all, the cook really got it right - the relationship between the Changsheng Alliance and the government was really close.
"Hey, if you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty..." The cook took off the rag from his waist, wiped his shiny hands clean, and then threw it on the stove beside him coolly.
Most of the people present thought that the cook had lost his mind and was talking nonsense, but only the middle-aged martial artist beside Gao Lin frowned, feeling a little ominous - he did not recognize the cook. But there was a guess in my mind.
He thought to himself that if he was unlucky, today's affairs might not end well.
"I am indeed a cook. For the first half of my life, oh no, I am still a cook to this day." The beard is still the same. There is no change except that his hands are clean, but his thick eyebrows are raised, and his expression becomes more and more proud.
"But it's not just this identity..."
If He Nan was present, he would definitely criticize you as a talkative cook, and then start talking nonsense about whether your other identity is your mother's son or your wife's husband.
Of course, if He Nan was here, his pussy would have to be louder and brighter. After all, this guy had to do somersaults even to get on the kang, poke his neck and still insist that the kang was uneven.
"Eternal Life Alliance, Xue Yan."
