my weird life

"Feiyan, why don't you have a noodle stall today?" Li Xiongbiao stopped his mules and horses and asked Liu Feiyan.

Liu Feiyan nodded in response: "Yes, today I want to take a long trip...to the ancient town. Uncle Biao, where are you going? This mule is really strong and looks really good. It will cost a lot of money to get it. Shall I buy it?"

"Oh—go to the ancient town?"

Su Wu was sitting in the mule cart, when he heard Li Xiongbiao's drawn out voice suddenly approaching the mule cart he was sitting in, there was a hint of a smile hidden in his voice, his expression didn't change, he lifted the curtains of the car, and looked outside Liu Feiyan: "Get in the car, we will take you for a ride."

"Hi!

Does this still need you to say it? !
Feiyan, come on, go and sit in the car.

Uncle Biao will take you to Shanggu Town - we are on the way, so we will go to Shanggu Town too. " Li Xiongbiao jumped off the mule cart and helped lift the two big bundles at Liu Feiyan's feet. He picked up the two big bundles, his expression was a little surprised, and he looked at Liu Feiyan and said, "Feiyan's strength is not small Ah, these two burdens weigh more than [-] kilograms in total. How can you carry them alone?
Did you even mention it to the embankment from your doorstep?
Tsk, catch up with us who learn boxing and martial arts! "

Li Xiongbiao grinned, and there was something in his words.

Liu Feiyan lowered his head, and followed him with a few other small bundles, heard what he said, and said in a low voice: "I also learned boxing from Brother Feixiong, it's no secret.

Don't make fun of us..."

"Hey hey..." Li Xiongbiao didn't tease Liu Feiyan when he heard the words, he helped put the baggage into the carriage, then he restrained his smile, and said to Liu Feiyan, "The boxing you practiced by Feixiong is better than ours. Progress is much faster.

Practice well!

It's better not to rely on parents and rely on yourself! "

Liu Feiyan nodded, got into the mule cart, and sat next to Su Wu.

The mule cart staggered and set off on the road again.

The Li family set off for Shang Gu Town before dawn, and they didn't arrive at Shang Gu Town until it was just dark.

This road is full of roads, and it is during the daytime, so everyone has never seen any robbers cutting the path, but the refugees along the road begging, and they have encountered many people along the way.

The horses drove to Shanggu Town, and taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not completely set and the sky was still dark, Li Xiongbiao drove a mule cart and took Li Bojiang to pay a visit to the founder of the "Dragon Boat Festival", The Zou family in Shanggu Town.

Everyone was waiting in a restaurant in Shanggu Town.

They didn't wait too long, Li Xiongbiao drove the mule cart back again, everyone got on the mule cart again, followed Li Xiongbiao's cart, and drove to Zou's house.

"The old man of the Zou family has prepared a banquet at home and is waiting for us!
The others arrived earlier, but ours is far away, so we arrived late—fortunately, you didn’t order food in the restaurant just now, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of money?

In the next few days, I will live in the master's house, and everyone should pay attention to it, so as not to lose courtesy.

The Zou family is also quite famous in Shanggu Town. They are considered a rich man. His family's yard is very large. You will know when you meet. "On the way, Li Xiongbiao told everyone some precautions.

Liu Feiyan, who had come to the ancient town by car on the way, did not move. At Su Wu's request, he went to Zou's house with him, temporarily assuming the identity of the disciple of the Li family's anti-earth fist.

Zou's house is located in the east of Shanggu Town, and it is a big house with three entrances.

At this time, the door of the house was wide open and a red lantern hung at the door.

A group of men and women who did not know whether they were from the Zou family or guests gathered at the door, all of them were smiling.

The steward of the Zou family, wearing a melon skin hat, saw Li Xiongbiao leading a few mules and carriages approaching the gate of the house, and greeted him with a smile on his face. He and a few servants behind him held the mules and horses for the Li family. As people walked out of the carriage, the Zou family led them inside the house door with one hand, and at the same time warmly greeted Su Wu and others: "Come in and sit down, come in and sit down!

They are all in the main room in the middle courtyard!

The dishes are almost ready! "

Su Wu and the others nodded in response, and surrounded by the servants of the Zou family, they rushed into the main room of the middle courtyard.

The inside and outside of the main room are filled with round tables, and four cold dishes and four hot dishes, including braised chicken, sauced duck, and sauced beef, have already been served. , there will be eight large bowls of dishes later, and the large bowls of dishes will be the 'meals'.

The Li family was seated at the table under the steps of the main room.

The teenagers who had been playing at the door were also arranged at various tables in the courtyard of the main room.

In the main room, Grandpa Li Bojiang was talking with a short and fat old man wearing silk satin clothes and a melon cap with a piece of jade inlaid, and several old men surrounded the two of them.

The great grandfather handed the long strip wrapped in red cloth to the short and fat old man and said with a smile: "I have nothing to give you. This is what I asked our good blacksmith to make. I'll give you a dagger for self-defense.

Don't be disgusted! "

"Hey, it's too late for me to cherish the things that old brother gave me, how could I dislike it?" The short and fat old man agreed with a smile, took the dagger with a sheath wrapped in red cloth with both hands, and handed it to him behind him with great care. The white-faced young man said, "Help me keep it safe!"

"Got it, Dad."

The handsome young man agreed, took the scabbard dagger, and placed it on the table piled with presents behind him.

"Now that the imperial court is very strict, such things as swords are very rare.

I’m sorry, brother, I’m sorry to bother you! "The short and fat old man patted Li Bojiang on the back and asked him to take a seat at the guest of honor seat. The other elderly people from each family took their seats at the seats of deputy guest, third guest and so on.

Li Bojiang raised his head slightly, the arrangement of the seat by the master of the Zou family was very helpful to him.

After the guests and hosts were seated, the steward of the Zou family who was guarding the door of the main room trotted out of the middle courtyard and went to the front door.

Not long after, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers from the gate of the front yard.

The firecrackers sounded for a long time.

A burst of gunpowder smoke drifted into the courtyard.

It was completely dark.

Lights were lit everywhere in the yard, Zou Qinggong, the master of the Zou family, got up, and the guests sitting beside him also got up one after another. The family members all stood up.

Zou Qinggong toasted with everyone with a smile, and the guests and hosts took their seats.

The banquet officially started, and there was the sound of cups and plates colliding all around.

It was only after Su Wu picked up a bag of gold and silver that the Li family members changed from two meals a day to three meals a day, and they could also get medicinal soup in the morning to strengthen their bodies.These dishes on the Zou family's banquet today, people may not be able to eat them once during the Chinese New Year, so their table is full of chopsticks, and they don't have a few rounds of wine like other tables. class activities.

After three rounds of drinking.

The guests at the main table surrounded Zou Qinggong, and went to each table to toast. Everyone took a look at each other, and they knew each other well.

Zou Qinggong and the elderly from various families first arrived at the table where the Li family was.

The two uncles Li Xiongbiao and Li Xiongxuan led the crowd to stand up to greet the old men.

"These are all the young men of your Li family, brother?" Zou Qinggong looked at Su Wu, Li Heihu and the others with surprise in his eyes. He pointed at Li Heihu, who was standing next to Su Wu and grinned, "This is the black man." Tiger, I know it.

But I don’t recognize any of these dolls.

I haven't seen you for a few years, but my brother's family is thriving and flourishing! "

"This is Feixiong, the posthumous son of my niece Wenjuan.

His father didn't care about him, so he changed his family to our old Li's family. Li Bojiang patted Su Wu's shoulder with a proud face, and then introduced his grandchildren to the Zou family, Ma family, Zhou family, Zhang family and several other elderly people one by one, "This is Tieniu, is it?" My adopted child, this is..."

After Li Bojiang's introduction, Zou Qinggong and others all smiled and nodded: "Good! Good!"

"Lao Li, I think these children in your family will have great potential in the future!

I have studied face-to-face for several years, your child, Heihu, has a very high fate, and if he is not guaranteed in the future, he will be a martial artist, and this child, Fei Xiong, is also the fate of a Wenju..."

"A thriving population is always a good thing, Brother Li, you don't have to worry about these things in the future..."

"These children have all learned the anti-erbazi boxing handed down in your family?"

All the old men laughed and talked.

Zou Qinggong even called out his eldest grandson 'Zou Jingchun' who was accompanying him behind him, and greeted Su Wu, Li Heihu and others one by one.

The fair-faced young man with a delicate appearance also showed great etiquette. According to his grandfather's instructions, he saluted Su Wu, Hei Hu and others one by one. Li Bojiang then pointed at Liu Feiyan, smiled and said, "This He is a disciple of Xiong Biao, and he also learned the Anti-Ear Bazi Boxing passed down in my family. This time, he will follow us to learn more about it.

Her name is Liu Feiyan. "

Zou Jingchun saw Liu Feiyan's face, which was white and slightly red, and then bowed his head to the Liu family's daughter and saluted: "I have met the Liu family's girl."

Liu Feiyan also bowed his head and returned the salute. He didn't know how to address this grandson of the Zou family, so he just saluted and said nothing.

Zou Qinggong looked at his grandson, and then at the daughter of the Liu family, who was dressed plainly but had a calm air in her gestures, and suddenly said with a smile, "My elder brother from the Li family, the Ma family, the Zhou family, and I Brothers of the Jia family and the Zhang family used to be members of the "Plum Blossom Club" and were called brothers and sisters. You younger generations can also call each other like this."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Zou Qinggong, Li Bojiang and others moved to other tables.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

After the banquet was over, Su Wu, Li Heihu and others were assigned to live in the row of houses in the front yard, while Li Linghe, Li Caifeng, Liu Feiyan and other female guests lived in the houses in the back yard.

The night is getting darker.

Su Wu sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes seemed to be open and closed.

Beside him, the long river of robbery was flowing silently, with a golden fish shadow appearing and disappearing in it.

The pale moonlight shone in from the window and fell on his shoulders.

He opened his eyes and stared at the golden carp looming in the river of robbery, thoughtfully.
