Hong Kang asked: "Looking at Teacher Xu's conversation, I guess your father must be "Brother Qingshui Pao"?!"
"Of course! Not only my dad, but also our principal!"
Xu Yali said, "Those people in troubled waters are nothing but a bunch of hooligans!"
In his words, he was very disdainful of the so-called "Brother Muddy Waters Robe".
Zhao Xinchuan asked: "Master, Teacher Xu, what does "Brother Qingshui Pao" mean?"
There are more things he doesn't understand.
Hong Kang intended to take Zhao Xinchuan to learn about these people and their ways, so as to gain some insights for him.
Hong Kang looked at Xu Yali and said, "Let Teacher Xu do the talking!"
Xu Yali felt that she could impart knowledge again, and she suddenly became eloquent.
"This is [Brother Pao]. In fact, most of the adult men here are like this. They are mainly divided into two categories: "Brother Qingshui Pao" and "Brother Muddy Water Pao." Most of the "Brother Qingshui Pao" have legitimate professions, abide by the law, and know etiquette. It is the basic condition, among which the majority are educated intellectuals, enlightened gentry, and young students.”
Hong Kang added: "Teacher Xu, you forgot to mention that "Brother Qingshui Pao" and others usually do things that are conducive to stability, such as helping those in need and maintaining order."
Xu Yali was happy in her heart, but her face remained calm: "This is not something worthy of praise."
Zhao Xinchuan asked: "What about 'Brother Muddy Waters Robe'?"
He felt that listening to this kind of thing was as interesting as listening to a story.
Xu Yali snorted coldly: "The members of their "Brother Muddy Water Robe" are very complicated. They are bullies, bandits, and robbers. They are all from all three religions. They like to do evil and bring trouble."
"I heard from my father that before the Republic of China and during the late Qing Dynasty, bandits were rampant here. In fact, many of them were those in troubled waters."
"Mr. Hong, do you know Brother Pao's five cousins?"
"I've heard that it seems to be divided into five categories: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust."
"Yes," Xu Yali said, "We had folk songs here at that time: benevolence means one gentry and two grains, justice means buying and selling merchants, and gifts are stolen and robbed. This word "Li" refers to those in troubled waters."
Seeing Xu Yali's angry expression, Hong Kang felt a little funny.
This kind of quackery comes from the mouth of a female teacher who teaches. It has a lot of meaning!
Hong Kang seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Teacher Xu, just now Boss Liang said that he is not qualified to be a pao brother. Why?"
From the conversation just now, Hong Kang could sense that Liang Sulan sincerely invited Wang Jianguo, and after being rejected, she sincerely encouraged her to continue the relationship, which showed that she was a warm-hearted person.
Hong Kang only knew the general description of "Brother Pao", but he didn't know the details clearly.
Xu Yali explained: "Because of some old rules in the past, although I feel these rules are a bit confusing."
"There used to be an old rule that those who worked in lower-level professions such as prostitutes, hookah smokers, pedicure workers, back rubs, hairdressers, male artists playing female roles, etc. were not allowed to participate in Paoge; there were also those who engaged in theft, and whose wives had sex with men and women. Those who are related to each other and whose mother remarries are also despised and cannot participate in Pao Ge."
"No wonder." Hong Kang said clearly, "Boss Liang is a male actor after all. Huh? Then why are some bandits able to do it??"
"I don't know about that." Xu Yali shrank her shoulders and said.
…………
After eating and drinking enough.
Hong Kang took the children to buy some clothes.
There are cotton clothes, cotton trousers, scarves, gloves, etc.
It's still cold after all.
Then he sent them back to school on time.
In the next few days, Hong Kang took these children around every day.
Anyway, school hasn’t started in the past few days.
Of course the children were very happy, but the price was the money Liu Cheng gave to Hong Kang, which was almost exhausted.
However, masters and apprentices Hong Kang and Zhao Xinchuan are not worried about money issues at all.
Zhao Xinchuan believed in his master. It had been almost two years since he came out of [Tai Chi Sect] with his master Hong Kang, and the two of them had never been short of money to spend.
However, after playing with the children for a few days, Hong Kang had to say goodbye to them.
No matter how reluctant they were to leave, they knew that Uncle Hong would not stay with them forever.
Looking at their dim eyes, Hong Kang finally softened his heart.
"It's the last day! This is the last time. I'll take you to see a play. I heard that Boss Liang has a play to sing today."
night.
There are stars and bright lights.
The Liang family team was busy with people coming and going!
Seeing the scene here, and thinking about the poverty of the people in Stone City before, Hong Kang sighed.
Liang Sulan performed his famous work - "Avalokitesvara Awakens to the Tao".
It tells the story of Guanyin who voluntarily cut the rope and jumped off the cliff to save her relatives, and then ascended.
Children may not understand the babbling drama above, but the lively atmosphere and beautiful costumes are still very attractive to them.
While watching a play, Hong Kang met the Face-Changing King again.
It's just that this time Wang Jianguo is no longer alone, but with a girl. The girl has braids and bright eyes.
And Xu Yali’s family.
"Teacher Xu, is this your brother?! He's very cute." Hong Kang said.
"Mr. Hong, you are coming to the show too! Let me introduce you, this is my dad, dad, this is Mr. Hong Kanghong."
"Nice to meet you. I wonder where Mr. Hong is employed?"
"He's just a charlatan who made Mr. Xu laugh."
Xu Zihao did not despise Hong Kang because he said he was a ronin. He had been in business for many years and relied on his good eyesight.
After hearing a few words about Hong Kang from his daughter's mouth, as well as Hong Kang's own temperament, he felt that Hong Kang was not an ordinary person.
Besides, he is a Paoge himself and can be considered a Jianghu person.
"Teacher Xu, what is your brother's name?"
"Tianci, Xu Tianci, is three years old this year."
God-given? !
Looking at the age of this little guy, and then looking at Xu Zihao's age, Hong Kang suddenly understood.
Isn’t it a gift from God to have a son in old age? ! !
After watching the play, Hong Kang sent the children back to school.
When I came out, I saw various police patrols on the street posting notices, as well as police officers riding horses running to various streets.
What happened?
Hong Kang walked to the notice and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly shrank.
What was written above was a missing person notice, saying that a child was abducted last night, and that child was Xu Yali's younger brother, Xu Tianci.
Zhao Xinchuan was also literate, and he also recognized the message on the notice.
He tilted his head and looked at Hong Kang: "Master?"
Hong Kang thought of the tiger-headed little boy he had seen last night, so he changed direction with Zhao Xinchuan and rushed towards Xu Mansion.
He was just about to clean up the florist gangs in the city and leave the children with a somewhat stable environment. Unexpectedly, someone he knew was victimized.
After arriving at Xu Mansion, Hong Kang met Xu Yali and her daughter after being notified.
"I can find your brother, but I need a few things."
