After seeing off the proprietress, everyone had just had time to take a sip when a wisp of piano music sounded from the stage in the front right, like a spring thunder exploding, thousands of miles of spring light flashed, and the noisy lobby instantly became quiet.
Everyone listened attentively, and the sound of the piano reached their ears, falling to the bottom of their hearts. They beat with the emotions deep in their hearts and merged with each other. Unknowingly, they transformed into words, tightly connected together. , like a poem, chanting endlessly deep in my heart:
"The oriole's singing in the willows is so affectionate, it's not a song but the voice of the heart. The flowers in March in the south of the Yangtze River are like brocade, and it takes a lot of work to weave them."
The thin man who looked like a scholar stood up, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He exclaimed: "What a great piece of music. The flowers are blooming like brocade, the spring is beautiful, the man is like a green willow, and the girl is like a warbler." He called the waiter not far away and handed over After passing five taels of silver ingots, he pointed to the stage and said, "Let the old gentleman play another song."
The waiter took the silver, walked to the edge of the stage, and said to the old man on the stage: "Old Man Hua, this is a gift from the guest, let you play another song." He handed the silver to the old man.
The old man stretched out his trembling hands and probed in the air, as if he couldn't see.
When the waiter saw this, he came closer and touched the old man's finger with the silver.
The old man took the silver ingot with his fingers, touched it, bowed slightly, and said: "Thank you! Thank you, sir!" He sat down, put the silver in his arms, put his fingers on the strings, and the sound escaped from his fingers. Soft, long, and exciting, it's like sipping a pot of fine wine, and like the bitterness of time has come to an end.
"The wind urges, the rain urges, urging the flowers to bloom and fading, urging the flowers to bloom late. The trumpet blows, the flute blows, blowing the south branches and blowing the north branches, flying red and thousands of sorrows."
Bai Yutian had heard it and didn't know what it felt like. He only knew that he felt sweet and comforted in his heart, but also felt doubly uncomfortable.
There was a person with strong emotions who danced along with the music and sang: "When I first heard it, I didn't know what the music meant, but when I listened to it again, I became a person in the music. The lovesickness in the music is still there, and we can renew our friendship."
A rough man saw the sad and melancholy music of the piano, and looked at the dancing people as crazy. When he heard the four words "renew the relationship", he stood up angrily and shouted to the stage: "Old man Hua, tomorrow will be a dragon and a tiger." It’s the forty-fifth birthday of the owner of the villa, and everyone came to celebrate in great spirits. What do you mean by playing such a bad tune for us?"
The old man on the stage stood up slowly, bowed and apologized: "My lord, don't be angry, this is just this one time, it won't happen next time."
"Don't you like silver? I'll give it to you." Before the rough man finished speaking, he threw a silver coin at Old Man Hua.
When Bai Yutian was about to reach out, he saw a woman flying towards the stage, catching the silver, and before her heels landed, her voice shouted out: "Master Xu, how angry and angry are you? ? The music they play is not for you to listen to alone. If you can listen to it, then listen to it. If you don’t, then don’t listen. Why are you angry? "
Zhang Yaner looked at the woman and said happily: "Aunt Xu, you are here too."
Seeing that Xu Sanniang was meddling in other people's affairs, the leader of the village, Xu, lost all his goodwill. He shouted angrily: "Xu Sanniang, you are a filthy woman who doesn't follow the rules of women. I don't need you to control what I do."
"Oops, something is going to happen now!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw a figure running towards Master Xu from the entrance of the lobby, and slapped Master Xu on the face. After a "snap" sound, the next person saw clearly that it was Long. Jiang Daogong, the chief escort of Wei Escort Bureau.
Jiang Daogong said: "Xu Wenting, apologize to her!"
It is unreasonable to apologize in public after being slapped in the face, already losing face and burning with anger.
Xu Wenting's face changed drastically, and after saying "daydream about you", he aimed a fist at the face of the "face slapper".
Jiang Daogong ducked to the left and struck Xu Wenting under the arm, as fast as lightning.
Xu Wenting avoided the wind of his palm and thrust two fingers into Jiang Daogong's eyes.
Jiang Daogong grabbed two of Xu Wenting's fingers and pulled them hard. With two "cha" and "cha" sounds, the fingers were severed from the roots.
Xu Wenting's most proud "Two Finger Skill" was abolished, and decades of Taoism were wiped out. Blood rushed to his head, and he pulled out a knife with his left hand and stabbed Jiang Daogong in the waist.
Jiang Daogong let go of Xu Wenting's two severed fingers and jumped back to avoid the blade.
Xu Wenting's right hand was disabled, and his left hand alone was no match for Jiang Daogong. He looked at the brothers beside him and said, "He broke both of my fingers. I'm going to fight him. You guys have to figure it out."
Loyalty is the most important thing in the world, and if a brother is humiliated, he should be stabbed in both sides. Without saying a word, the five people at the same table jumped out of the table and chairs with swords, iron hooks, and steel forks in their hands, and rushed toward Jiang Daogong, hoping for a life-or-death showdown.
Jiang Daogong was injured and had some faults. One of them was slow to respond. After fighting with five people three or two times, when he jumped out of the battle circle, he was hit by a sword on his right shoulder, a steel fork on his left leg, and a bullet on his waist. One stab and an iron hook on his left arm, causing blood to drip from his body.
Sanniang jumped over, supported Jiang Daogong, and asked, "How are you, is it important?"
Jiang Daogong, a manly man, could not easily show weakness in front of a woman. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a little skin injury."
The six escorts from the Longwei Escort Bureau rushed over, drew their weapons, and took big steps to avenge Jiang Daogong.
Jiang Daogong knew that his brother was injured and was no match for him. Moreover, he made the first move and also disabled Xu Wenting's two-finger skill. He would not suffer from this injury, so he quickly stopped the six of them and said, "Yang Biaotou." , forget it. When will the injustice be repaid?"
Head Guard Yang stopped and said, "Xu Wenting, you are so rude today, you will definitely need to ask for advice in the future."
Xu Wenting sneered and said, "I'll be with you anytime!"
The other heroes in the lobby were naturally happy to see that the fighting had ceased. A small number of them turned their attention to Xu Wenting, and most of them turned their attention to Jiang Daogong. They spoke in friendly words, but barely stepped forward to shake hands.
Seeing that there were no free tables in the lobby, Xiao Ruoyun walked over, supported Jiang Daogong, and said, "Brother Jiang, there is no room left. Come and sit at my table." Together with Sanniang, he supported Jiang Daogong and faced him. The table goes.
When Zhang Yan'er saw her mother coming with Jiang Daogong's support, she quickly stood up and gave up her seat, sitting with Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian was afraid that she would be uncomfortable sitting, so he leaned to the side to make a big seat.
Zhang Yan'er was not polite and stuck her clothes together with Bai Yutian's, just to make room for her mother.
Bai Yutian saw that Jiang Daogong was covered in injuries and could not see the eyes, and said: "Old Jiang, the pure will become pure themselves, and the turbid will become turbid. Just such an irrelevant word, there is no need to take it into heart, let alone fight. Now you are at a disadvantage. , the gain outweighs the loss.”
Jiang Daogong was helped to sit down and Wen Yan replied: "Young master is very right. He means others' hearts. How can he control what he says when it comes out of others' mouths? It's better not to listen to him in the future."
Bai Yutian filled a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Daogong. He took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and handed it to Sanniang, saying: "This is 'Xiao Ling Powder', which is specially used to treat external injuries such as swords and swords. The medicine will heal the injury."
Xu Sanniang took the powder and thanked: "Thank you so much, young hero."
Bai Yutian said: "You're welcome, it's just ten taels of silver."
Xiao Ruoyun said: "You kid, you have good intentions, but if you don't have a nice word to say, you won't be afraid of using your tongue."
Bai Yutian said: "Mrs. Zhang, medicinal materials are needed to make medicinal powder. If you don't pay for the medicinal materials, wouldn't those medicinal farmers starve to death in the mountains and fields?"
Jiang Daogong smiled and said: "What Bai Shaoxia said is absolutely true. Business is one line, the running water is not rotten, and the door hinges are not beetrooted."
After hearing this, Xu Sanniang happily opened the paper bag and gently helped Jiang Daogong wipe it with great care, for fear of leaving a blind spot and not being able to cure the disease with the medicine.
The wound was smeared with medicated powder, and the effect was immediate. The bleeding stopped, the wound no longer hurt, and there was a refreshing feeling. Jiang Daogong cupped his hands and said cheerfully to Bai Yutian: "Young Master has helped me twice. I am very grateful to you. If there is any use for me in the future, just ask me and go through fire and water, no matter what."
Bai Yutian smiled warmly and said, "Old Jiang, I'm helping you just for the money, so don't take it seriously."
Biaotou Yang took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his bag, handed it to Bai Yutian, and said, "Thank you, Master, for the gift of medicine."
Bai Yutian took the silver ingot, put it in his arms, and said, "Sit down, you guys are invited to this meal."
Yang Biao and others sat down happily, called the waiter to order wine and food, and chatted and laughed.
The tea is drunk and the food and wine are served.
Bai Yutian raised his wine glass and greeted the full table. Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine. It was so happy.
After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Daogong said: "Young Master Bai, someone from Jiang has an unkind invitation."
Bai Yutian said: "Chief escort, please tell me."
Jiang Daogong said slowly: "As the number of semicolons increases, Longwei Escort Bureau has more and more things to deal with, and it gradually feels that it is beyond its capabilities. Jiang Daogong boldly invites young heroes to lend a helping hand to help Longwei Escort Agency become bigger and stronger. One or two. I wonder what the young hero wants?"
Bai Yutian had a bitter look on his face after hearing this. Considering that Jiang Daogong was famous far and wide, if he refused on the spot, he would lose face. If I don't refuse on the spot, I have always been used to being idle, and I am not the kind of person who can live in the open air and work hard without complaining. Moreover, the Chunyang Clan is a single lineage, so if you work as an escort in a bodyguard agency, it will definitely bring disgrace to the master's family.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his glass of wine and saluted Jiang Daogong and said: "Old Jiang, I think it's okay to join the escort agency as an escort. As for where I can be useful in the future, as long as I can do it, just ask for it and never refuse."
Jiang Daogong drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "Okay. Young hero's kindness, Jiang will keep it in mind."
Bai Yutian drank the wine in the glass, and in order to change the subject, he confusedly gave Zhang Yaner a chopstick dish, and immediately regretted it.
Zhang Yan'er received strange looks from the other nine people. Her face turned red with embarrassment. After a few hesitations, she ate the food and couldn't help but say "thank you" to Bai Yutian.
The incident happened suddenly, but Xiao Ruoyun was mentally prepared and panicked and toasted Jiang Daogong, Xu Sanniang, Yang Biaotou and others with a glass of wine to put the matter aside.
In the eyes of Jiang Daogong, Xu Sanniang and others, Bai Yutian and Zhang Yan'er can be said to be talented men and beautiful women. They come from a famous family and are well-matched, making them a perfect match. Seeing that Xiao Ruoyun's mother and daughter had unclear intentions, in order not to cause trouble, they ignored other things and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
