The landlady heard that there was a fight in the lobby, finished what she was doing, and came over. Seeing that both of Jiang Daogong's arms were injured, he walked over and asked nicely: "Mr. Jiang, why are you here injured today?"
Jiang Daogong smiled and replied: "I accidentally scratched it just now."
The landlady snorted and said: "Lao Jiang, you know that I don't allow fighting here, but you still want to fight here. Is it because the rules here are not worth abiding by, or do you have any objections to me? You might as well say it directly."
The Jianghu is like a place of right and wrong. Children in the Jianghu behave as they please. Noisy, fighting and killing are commonplace. There is nothing to say. But it is wrong to use fists and kicks, swords and swords to hurt others and yourself when there is a disagreement.
Jiang Daogong knew the truth well and stood up to apologize: "Jiang knows the rules here. I was in a hurry just now and didn't take care of him. I broke the rules. I hope you can forgive me."
The proprietress's words were stern and serious: "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. Without rules, there would be no harmony. If everyone acts as he pleases and goes his own way without any scruples, there will be no security between people. Lao Chiang, you Since you have broken my rules here, my rules here cannot tolerate you. After dinner, you can spend the night somewhere else."
Jiang Daogong has been traveling around the world for many years, and his reputation has become more and more famous, but he used the word "harmony" and the word "forgiveness" well. If the leader of Xu Village hadn't said that Xu Sanniang was a shabby woman who didn't follow the rules of women, and her words were too vicious and damaged the innocence of the woman's family, which was difficult to accept for a while, he would definitely not have taken action rashly. Thinking about it afterwards, if someone else makes a random mistake, you would make a tooth for a tooth or an eye for an eye. This is not the way you want to live in the world, and it is really wrong. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Sai, for your generosity. Jiang will definitely comply."
Xu Sanniang saw that Jiang Daogong, a famous hero, was submissive to a girl in her early twenties, which was detrimental to the demeanor of a man and was wrong. Then he said: "Sai Xifeng, this fight is a matter between both parties. Why are you staring at us?"
Jiang Daogong said: "Shopkeeper Sai, Sanniang is straight-tempered and outspoken. Don't argue with her."
Sai Xifeng said: "Sanniang, a gentleman talks but does not take action. The dispute just now could have been avoided. The mistake was that Jiang Daogong took action at will. There is no need for you to feel aggrieved for Jiang Daogong."
In the lobby, many people agreed with Sai Xifeng's statement that the matter had been settled and they should no longer vent their anger on Xu Wenting and others.
Sanniang's resentment could not be dispelled, and she said to Jiang Daogong: "She has kicked you out, why are you saying all the nice things to her?"
Zhang Yaner said: "What kind of gentleman talks but doesn't take action? It's just nonsense. How can the innocence of my daughter's family be slandered at will?"
Bai Yutian felt that what Zhang Yan'er said was reasonable and said loudly: "It's not right to hit someone, and it's even more wrong to arbitrarily slander a woman's innocence."
The man on Xu Wenting's left said: "Boy, it's none of your business, you don't need to make irresponsible remarks here."
Bai Yutian sneered: "What kid? It's your father."
The man stood up and shouted angrily: "Say it again if you dare!"
Bai Yutian looked around the lobby and asked loudly: "Fellow heroes, do you think I should continue talking?"
The thin man who looked like a scholar stood up and said: "This young man shouldn't hurt people casually. How can he keep making the same mistake again and again?"
Bai Yutian felt that one person's voice could not represent everyone, so he shouted: "Do you think so?"
Many people replied: "Misfortune comes from the mouth, so it is better not to talk about it." "If you hurt someone with your hands, it will only hurt for a while; if you hurt someone with your words, it will hurt for a lifetime. You should accumulate more virtue in your mouth." "The mouth is used for eating and communication. It’s not meant to hurt anyone.”…
"Okay, just listen to everyone, don't say anything if you don't want to say it." Bai Yutian smiled faintly, looked at Sai Xifeng, and said: "Shopkeeper Sai, everyone has said what happened today. It's because of the evil words that come from the mouth. So, it has nothing to do with Mr. Jiang. If you chase him away, it seems that you have found the wrong person."
Sai Xifeng said: "According to your wishes, I should just drive Xu Wenting and others away?"
Bai Yutian said: "Don't chase away the perpetrators, but chase those who defend themselves first. There seems to be no such principle in the world."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xu Wenting and others, as if what Bai Yutian said was reasonable.
Xu Wenting stood up and shouted: "Boy, the rules of Duckweed Inn are decided by the shopkeeper Sai. You are the one who counts."
Bai Yutian smiled coldly and said: "I was originally a green onion, but now it seems that I am not even as good as a small onion."
The whole audience was cheerful and laughing.
Xu Wenting struck while the iron was hot and sneered: "Boy, you are not stupid enough to go back to your hometown and you are self-aware."
Sai Xifeng shouted angrily: "Xu Wenting, shut up."
Everyone was extremely shocked and confused. They had never seen Sai Xifeng speak so loudly and with such anger. For a moment, she felt that Sai Xifeng was not talking about Xu Wenting, but herself, so she closed her mouth and became quiet.
Xu Wenting said: "Shopkeeper Sai, are you...?"
Sai Xifeng glanced at Xu Wenting, walked to the dining table, and said softly: "Xu Wenting, as far as I am concerned in this inn, you are an old man. I don't need to tell you, you should know the rules here. You six have finished eating this Let’s have a meal and go stay somewhere else.”
Xu Wenting was very dissatisfied and wanted to reason with him, saying, "Shopkeeper Sai, if you can't clap your hands, you can't just punish the left hand and not the right hand."
Bai Yutian interjected: "The inn is run by Shopkeeper Sai. There is no need for others to worry about who will be accepted to stay and who will not be accepted. Everyone, do you think this is true?"
Many people said: "The inn is run by the innkeeper Sai. He can keep his word on who he will take in or not."
Some people said: "Zhai leader Xu made a mistake with his words, but General Jiang should not slap people easily. Both sides made mistakes and broke the rules." What they didn't say is that Jiang Daogong is also a human being, not a god. No reason not to leave the inn.
Jiang Daogong got up and said: "I, Jiang, have broken the rules on other people's territory, and I shall accept my punishment. After dinner, I will rush to other places to stay. There is no need to worry."
Sai Xifeng glanced at Bai Yutian and said to Jiang Daogong: "Mr. Jiang, you said this yourself. I did not issue an expulsion order for you."
Jiang Daogong smiled and replied: "The laws of the Song Dynasty clearly stipulate that fighting is not allowed. Although Jiang Daogong is a village man, he also knows the law."
Sai Xifeng turned to Xu Wenting and said, "Master Xu, what do you have to say?"
Xu Wenting just wanted to drag people into the water. His goal was achieved, so what else could he say? He said boldly: "After dinner with my brothers, I promise that I will never stay for a moment longer."
Sai Xifeng shook her head slightly and walked towards the back hall with gentle steps, her former youthfulness reduced a lot.
After Sai Xifeng left, the lobby was as usual, with everything to eat, drink and make noise, and there was a lot of joy and joy.
Jiang Daogong had eaten and drank. When he saw Xu Wenting and others leaving the inn, he also picked up his luggage, said goodbye to the ten people, and walked outside. Sanniang, Yang Biaotou and other seven people also picked up their bags and followed closely. Jiang Daogong was thinking about the matter in Qingzhu Forest, glanced at Bai Yutian, and blocked the seven people back.
Seeing that Jiang Daogong had made up his mind, the first six bodyguards, including Yang, followed his wishes and followed the waiter to the backyard to look for a house.
Seeing that Jiang Daogong was injured, Sanniang was really worried and followed Jiang Daogong closely, not leaving even an inch. When Jiang Daogong took a step, she followed. Jiang Daogong sent her back, and she followed him out again, leaving Jiang Daogong helpless.
Xiao Ruoyun saw that the two of them were coquettish in public, unbecoming and immoral, so he stepped forward and comforted him: "Brother Jiang, sixty years of reincarnation are almost coming to an end, why do you still care about the rules and regulations of the world? , as long as you feel you have a clear conscience."
Bai Yutian saw that there seemed to be too many things in Jiang Daogong's eyes that he could not let go. In order to encourage him to abandon the so-called moral kidnapping, he also stepped forward and persuaded: "Old Jiang, time flies by like a white horse passing by; the past is vague. , if the moon is gone. The most difficult thing for people to keep is the good time. If it passes easily, nothing can be left behind. Now that we understand the truth, why bother to be that fool and like the 'spare hate'."
Facing the warnings of the two men, Jiang Daogong felt moved. He took a look at Sanniang and saw that she was weak, her shadow was cold, and her eyes were full of unwillingness to leave. He said with great difficulty: "Sanniang, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Sanniang's face lit up with joy, she supported Jiang Daogong's arm and walked towards Yuehua Inn.
The moonlight shines, and the two figures are lingering, neat, white and pure, complementing each other.
Bai Yutian watched Jiang Daogong and Xu Sanniang walk away, then turned around and walked towards the dining table. Feeling that he was not full yet, he sat down, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, drinking a small glass of wine to warm his stomach.
Seeing Zhang Yan'er coming, she stood aside with the intention of drinking, so she poured her a glass and said with a smile: "Eat if you want, drink if you want, feed yourself, dress others, don't care too much .”
Xiao Ruoyun came over, smiled faintly, sat down with her daughter, and said warmly: "You kid, why are you so clear-cut? You have to eat, and you should wear clothes. After eating, face your stomach; wear clothes. It’s worthy of the eyes of others. There are people inside and outside, so I feel comfortable too!”
Bai Yutian smiled faintly and said: "If the flowers are too delicate, they are afraid of decay; if the clothes are too beautiful, they are afraid of wear and tear. It is better to be natural."
Zhang Yan'er ate for a few times, put down her chopsticks, and said to Xiao Ruoyun, "Mom, I'm sleepy."
Seeing the waiter coming, Xiao Ruoyun stood up, smiled at Bai Yutian and said, "Go to bed early tonight, get up early tomorrow morning, and rush to Longhu Villa for lunch." He picked up the baggage, held his daughter, and followed the waiter, looking for Housing went.
After watching Xiao Ruoyun and her daughter go, Bai Yutian poured himself a glass of wine and drank, without paying attention to anyone, and quietly put most of the bottle of wine into his stomach. I wanted to drink more, but found that the entire lobby was empty, with no waiter or customers, so I had to give up. He picked up the mahogany sword and stood up to leave. Unexpectedly, Sai Xifeng came over with a smile on his face, carrying a small pot of wine, and sat back.
Sai Xifeng came to the table, picked two glasses, filled them with wine, handed one to Bai Yutian, sat down facing Bai Yutian, picked up the wine glass, touched one with Bai Yutian, and asked with a smile: "This' Is a pot of spring good to drink?"
Bai Yutian tasted it carefully and said: "When you like to drink it, it is sweet; when you don't like to drink it, it is bitter. When I drink it now, the bitterness and sweetness balance out, and it is as plain as water."
Sai Xifeng drank the wine in one gulp and said, "Is it because of Jiang Daogong?"
Bai Yutian put down his wine glass, took a good look at Sai Xifeng, and said, "Maybe so. As far as I know, Xu Wenting has always worshiped those who are superior and despised those who are inferior, and is afraid of being bullied by force. Today, he spoke harshly to Xu Sanniang for no reason, and he did not hesitate to talk to Xu Sanniang. Jiang Daogong fought violently, as if he did it on purpose. Do you know why?"
Sai Xifeng replied: "How do I know?"
"I don't know." Bai Yutian picked up the mahogany sword, stood up, and walked towards the back hall.
Sai Xifeng asked: "Where are you going?"
Bai Yutian turned around and chuckled: "You can go there and find a bed to sleep on. You won't drive me away, will you?"
Seeing Bai Yutian's dirty eyes, Sai Xifeng said quickly, "Do you doubt me?"
Bai Yutian took a deep breath and walked towards the back hall. He only heard a "click" behind him, as if a wine bottle had been smashed to the ground.
