In a private room of a brothel in Xuzhou, Gao Yuan, dressed as a rich man with a reddish complexion, was lying on a huge bed, his head resting on the lap of a pretty girl, surrounded by five flowers and jade. Girl.
The girls smiled like silver bells, and Gao Yuan also smiled, laughed wildly, and laughed unrestrainedly.
He opened his mouth, and a girl held a wine bottle and poured wine into his mouth. Because several people were making too much noise on the bed, wine was spilled all over Gao Yuan's clothes. But he didn't care, he still smiled happily and joked with the girls from time to time.
In fact, these girls were tired for a long time. This guest came in the middle of the night last night and was very generous. He directly ordered five girls to accompany him. After entering the house, he hugged the girls and went to bed, but he didn't do anything. He didn't let the girls undress him or watch the show. He just hugged them left and right, laughing.
He kept laughing like this for half a day and a whole day. Seeing that it was getting dark again, the young man was still smiling. If he hadn't been generous, the girls would have been anxious.
Even so, these guys can't hold on any longer.
"Sir," a girl cooed, "are you tired of looking at us all the time? How about I ask the other sisters to accompany you?"
Gao Yuan looked at the girl and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask you madam to come over and give me some other girls."
The girls felt like they were on the receiving end of an amnesty, and one of them said something frivolous and ambiguous and left the room.
Although he was alone in the room now, he was still happy and started to cry.
The door to the private room was pushed open again, but this time it was not the madam or the girl who came in, but a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard.
Gao Yuan sat up and looked at the middle-aged man. The sadness on his face suddenly disappeared: "Hey, Brother Shuofeng, why are you here?"
Shuo Feng leaned against the door frame with a playful smile on his face: "I heard about you as soon as I entered Xuzhou. You go to a brothel and don't sleep with girls or have fun, so you just giggle."
Gao Yuan's smile was full of cynicism: "How can I sleep? I don't have that tool, right?"
Shuo Feng walked into the house, closed the door, sat at the table, picked up a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass. While drinking, he said, "Are you going to die in a brothel?"
"Death? That's okay," Gao Yuan was very open-minded, but then his tone became melancholy, "Hey, I still remember my parents. There was a severe drought and everyone in the family starved to death. I was begging for a living... I I also thought about continuing the family lineage, but unfortunately I no longer had the ability when I had this idea. Now that Xiaozhu is gone, no one can threaten me. I don’t want to do anything, I just want to enjoy it. "
"When you were in the Hall of Idle People, I remember you telling me that you wanted to wander around."
Gao Yuan spread his hands and said, "I've been looking around a lot these past few days, but it's not interesting."
Shuo Feng put down his wine glass and said, "Go to the Leisure Hall, Li Fenglan will probably take you in."
"I'm not going," Gao Yuan said with a sneer, "This woman is inhumane. She is one of her own. If she is an outsider, she doesn't care about life or death at all. As for me, I have caused trouble for her before. She Can you trust me?"
Shuo Feng stood up and sighed: "You and I have just met, and I just want to give you some advice. You are still young and have a long way to go. You also have some talents, so why not find a way to put them to use. Anyway, I am going to the Xianren Hall. It’s up to you to figure it out.”
After Shuofeng finished speaking, he exited the private room. Gao Yuan stood alone in the private room, thoughtfully.
At this time, the old madam led a group of girls into the house with a flattering smile on her face.
"Ah yo yo, sir, we have brought you all the beautiful girls here, you can take your pick."
Gao Yuan looked at the charming girls in front of him and suddenly lost interest. He took out his money bag from his arms, threw a whole bag of broken silver to the old madam, and said feebly: "Forget it, I won't pick any more, I'm a little tired. This is my whoring money for the past two days."
After saying this, Gao Yuan left the brothel. Shuofeng didn't go far, Gao Yuan chased after him.
Looking at Gao Yuan with a smile on his face, Shuo Feng frowned and asked, "What? Have you figured it out?"
Gao Yuan "Haha
Smile: "I don't want to live my whole life in such a muddle. Although Li Fenglan has a lot of tricks, she is not a bad person. At least she is better than Chen Zijue. As long as nothing happens, she will not harm others. I decided to go to her to ask for help." Just enough to eat. Besides, I don’t have any money left.”
Shuofeng's eyebrows furrowed even more: "Are you out of money?"
"No, brothels are gold-selling caves, and they cost a lot of money."
"If you don't have money, why would you follow ***?"
"No, what do you mean? You don't have any money either?"
"Nonsense, if I had money, would I go with you?"
The two of them stood on the street and looked at each other. It was still a long way from Xuzhou to Luoyang. The two gentlemen couldn't be hungry all the way, right?
…
At the foot of Mount Tai, roughly in the southeast, there is a small thatched hut.
This hut was originally the residence of an Orion, who was old, injured and childless. Fortunately, I saved some money in the first half of my life, so I sold my hut and went to live alone in the city.
The person who bought the house was a scholar and looked very weak.
The scholar has been living here for a few days, and it seems that he is not used to it yet.
After wasting all my energy all morning, I finally came back from cutting some firewood from the mountain. In the past few days, he had gained experience and knew how to chop wood. Before, he had only chopped wet wood and almost choked himself to death while cooking a meal.
Throwing the chopped firewood into the yard, he looked at the blisters on his hands and smiled to himself.
"The four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not separated. I did farm work when I was a child. Why can't I adapt to it at all?"
Although he complained a little, he still picked up the axe. These firewood needed to be chopped.
While he was chopping firewood, a shout of murder came from the woods on one side. He looked through the fence. There were no green leaves in the deep winter woods, and it seemed like two groups of people were fighting.
He ignored this and continued chopping wood.
After hacking for a long time, I finally had enough for two days.
As he was about to carry the firewood into the kitchen, several uninvited guests came into his yard.
The scholar put down the firewood and looked at the tall men in black in front of him. He smiled and asked, "Are you here to have a rest? Or are you here to see me?"
The leading man in black cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Chen, my master wants to see you."
The scholar smiled and waved his hand: "Don't call me sir, I'm just a boy and I haven't even passed the exam."
The man in black said, "Sir, what do you think?"
The scholar shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have any ability. I have failed miserably in the past two years. Let your master be replaced by someone else."
"Sir, do you plan to spend the rest of your life here?"
"Well... maybe, but in the future I might go to live in the village over there, become a teacher, get a wife or something."
"It's too condescending."
"You're not talented in the first place, so how can you be so unyielding?"
The man in black refused to give up: "I'm afraid the peaceful life you want will never come. We just helped you solve a problem in the woods. I believe there will be many similar troubles in the future."
"Hey... there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor, and it is right for people to seek revenge from me."
"Since sir said so, I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave."
When they reached the door, the scholar suddenly raised his head again and said with a smile: "Didn't your master ask you to kill me?"
"No."
"Hey," he patted the sawdust on his body, "Forget it, whether I mean it or not, if I don't help you solve it, I will be in a lot of trouble in the future. I'll go with you."
"my pleasure."
Following the man in black to the door of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Isn't the name Chen Zijue troublesome?"
"really."
"Then..." He thought carefully and suddenly smiled, "My name is Tian Qing now, and I am a descendant of the Zongheng lineage of the Guigu sect."
…
When Mo Changfeng appeared at the door of Xianren Hall, Li Feng
The expression on Lan's face was only two points of surprise, and the remaining ninety-eight points was disgust.
Mo Changfeng was quite laid-back. If you didn't look closely, you would have thought he was a beggar.
Li Fenglan pinched her nose and circled him twice, asking, "What's the matter with you?"
Mo Changfeng explained with a smile: "It's because I didn't bring any money with me. I rushed all the way back from Shaoxing and sold all the carriages. It's not always easy."
"Didn't I give you a lot of money? Where's the money? It's all spent? You spent more than a hundred taels in a few months?"
"No," Mo Changfeng explained, "Didn't I look at that kid? They found me a place to live, and I kept all my money there. I said goodbye to them that morning and went to bring the money... But what I said in farewell That’s it, I’m really embarrassed to go to someone else’s house to get it... so I just..."
"A hundred taels!" Li Fenglan yelled, "Do you know how much a hundred taels is? If you don't want it, then you don't want it. No wonder you can't open the restaurant, you don't care about money at all."
When the two of them said this, everyone else was watching at the door. After coming out of Jade and Amber, when the three elders heard that Mo Changfeng was coming, they all ran to the door to greet him excitedly. When they saw a middle-aged beggar, the three of them were a little dumbfounded. When they saw Li Fenglan mercilessly reprimanding Mo Changfeng again... the three of them felt extremely embarrassed. After all, he was still a legend in the world.
Mo Changfeng kept smiling in a flattering manner, while Li Fenglan looked disgusted: "Forget it... I don't worry... Mu Yun."
Han Lu came over quickly: "What's the matter?"
"Take him to take a bath and change into clean clothes."
Han Lu nodded: "Okay."
But before they could enter, they saw two more beggars running towards the Leisure Hall.
The two beggars, one middle-aged and the other young, looked more excited than Mo Changfeng.
"Miss Li!"
Li Fenglan frowned and thought to herself: Did I poke holes in the beggar gang's nest? Why do beggars come to me again? No, why does this beggar’s voice sound so familiar?
When the two men came closer, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes: Aren't they Shuo Feng and Chi Junqing?
Gao Yuan ran to Li Fenglan, knelt down with a simple sound, and said with tears in his nose: "Miss Li! My dear mother! Let me see you again!"
Li Fenglan was startled: "You, you, you, what's going on with you? Why are you like this?"
Shuo Feng, who was next to him, said with a smile: "We came from Luzhou and were thinking about joining you, but we didn't bring any money... In order not to smear your face, we didn't dare to do anything illegal. It’s something that happened, so we’re in such a mess...Hey! Isn’t this the original poster?"
Mo Changfeng looked at Shuo Feng: "Aren't you that Shuo Feng? You are a master after all, how did you end up like this?"
"Hey, I'm crying if I talk too much... Mr. Mo, you look very elegant in your dress."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Fenglan interrupted their conversation, "Trust me? Why do you trust me?"
Gao Yuan said: "You are short of people here! We can help you! You guarded us when Xiaozhu was still there, but now that Xiaozhu is gone, you don't have to guard us anymore, right?"
Li Fenglan suddenly felt a headache: "How about...I'll give you a sum of money and you stay away from me."
"That won't work!" Shuofeng said loudly, "I still have to come over and give guidance to my apprentice."
Amber yelled: "Who is your apprentice?!"
Li Fenglan waved her hand helplessly: "Forget it, come in. I'm telling you two, you can find your own way after the year, and don't keep pestering me."
Shuofeng nodded hurriedly: "Let's get through this new year first... By the way, Miss Li, is there anything to eat? Let's make some food first, we haven't eaten for a day." ap.
Mo Changfeng on the side nodded: "Yes, let's eat first."
Li Fenglan suddenly smiled and took Mo Changfeng's arm affectionately: "Old Mo, do you know that I can cook now? Do you want to have a taste?"
Mo Changfeng's eyes lit up: "Okay! Okay!"
After hearing what Li Fenglan said, Feicui and others winked at each other and quietly
He walked out of the door silently and headed towards the Bai family.
Li Fenglan's first meal was quite edible. For the second meal, I forced myself to eat it. But after three meals... the dogs didn't want to eat, so Han Lu could persist.
