Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 119 Drinking and Treating Others

The singing father and daughter haven't left yet. They are standing under the eaves opposite, looking into the hotel. Yang Shucheng stood up and walked towards the father and daughter.

I heard someone sneer and say: "You got into trouble, and you boasted about it. Now you're scared, and you want to run away. The shopkeeper can't afford the trouble you caused."

Yang Shucheng looked away and saw a handsome young man sitting in the corner, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Yang Shucheng looked at the shopkeeper again, who was worried that he might really fly away.

Yang Shucheng hurriedly explained: "Master, you are wrong. I will give the father and daughter a little help, and they will never run away."

The young man stopped talking and just curled his lips and sneered, indicating that he didn't believe what Yang Shucheng said at all.

Yang Shucheng no longer walked out of the store, but waved to the old man playing the huqin: "Old man, please come in. I have something to say."

The singing father and daughter hurriedly walked into the store, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life. I will repay you by working as a cow or a horse in the next life."

Yang Shucheng hurriedly pulled them up and said: "I didn't ask you to thank me. I saw you wandering in a foreign land and being bullied. It's really pitiful. I have some silver here. Take it and run away to your hometown."

Then he took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the old man. How could the old man ask for so much silver from him.

"Take it, old man, I have a lot of money." I was afraid that the old man wouldn't believe it, so I took out the money bag and opened it for the old man to see.

"You should go back to your hometown quickly. No matter how poor your hometown is, it is still better than a foreign land."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, the old man had to accept it, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times. Asked the benefactor's name again?

"My name is Yang Shucheng, from Yangjiawan, Nanyang. You should leave quickly." Yang Shucheng urged them again.

The old man kowtowed a few times and said, "My name is Zheng Jing. I live in Shixi Village, Xinxiang. When we return to our hometown, we will definitely pay tribute to our benefactor."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

The old man took the girl out of the store and flew away.

When Yang Shucheng and Xiaofu Wang parted, Xiaofu Wang gave him a money bag, so Yang Shucheng was generous. The five taels of silver were enough for the father and daughter to return to their hometown and enjoy themselves for a few years.

Yang Shucheng arranged for the father and daughter to escape, and he no longer had any worries. He turned around, sat down generously, and said to the young man in the corner:

"Do you believe it now? I'm just sitting here waiting for the man named Cheng Yong."

The young man stood up, applauded and praised: "You are really a hero who dares to be a hero. I, Zhang Xunmei, admire me. I have offended you so much just now. Please forgive me!"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The young man Zhang Xunmei came over and asked in a low voice: "Did you just give your real name?"

Yang Shucheng said: "I am from Yangjiawan in Nanyang, my surname is Yang Shucheng."

Zhang Xunmei said: "How about this? Let's order a few side dishes, drink wine slowly, and wait for the ruffian to arrive. Is that okay?"

"it is good."

Zhang Xunmei immediately called the shopkeeper over, ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine.

Soon the dishes were served, including a plate of pork head cut into slices and arranged on the plate like layers of flowers, a pot of stewed mutton with some finely chopped garlic sprouts sprinkled on top, and a plate of fried winter leeks. , a plate of fried tofu.

The two men poured two bowls of wine, sat across from each other, and started eating meat and drinking wine.

The two drank wine and chatted.

It turns out that Zhang Xunmei was from Bailonggang, Shandong, Taihang. Her parents forced her to get married and she ran away from home without a servant. She was free to travel around the world and gain knowledge.

Zhang Xunmei is the plum blossom swordsman passed down from his family, and he is also a young knight with superb swordsmanship.

Yang Shucheng also told Zhang Xunmei that he was heading east to find his lost sister Yang Yan.

Zhang Xunmei said: "Anyway, I have nothing to do. I am wandering around in the rivers and lakes. Brother Yang, we have hit it off. You don't mind if I walk with you."

Yang Shucheng saw that there was a companion on the road, and he could talk to him, which relieved his loneliness. He also saw that his speech was elegant and his appearance was extraordinary, and he was willing to go with him, so he happily agreed.

The two chatted in good spirits, finished a pot of wine, and ate most of the meat and vegetables on the table. At this time, the sun was already tilted, and the ruffian Cheng Yong had not yet led anyone to cause trouble.

Zhang Xunmei said: "Shopkeeper, come here."

The shopkeeper came over immediately, Zhang Xunmei said: "We have been waiting here for a long time, the sun has set to the west, and Cheng Yong hasn't brought anyone here yet. It's not that we are afraid of them, it's really late. When we get there We sleep at the largest Dongshun Hotel. If he comes, ask him to come to Dongshun Hotel to find us. We are definitely not afraid of him."

When the shopkeeper saw that the two of them had waited from noon until dark, he was indeed not afraid of Cheng Yong and his group. What else could he not believe? He was originally afraid of trouble, but now that he saw the two young men shouldering the responsibility, he was also happy and agreed.

Zhang Xunmei brought Yang Shucheng to the Dongshun Hotel in the east of the city. Unfortunately, they arrived late and there was only one room left. Yang Shucheng was very happy and prepared to sleep with Zhang Xunmei for a night chat.

However, Zhang Xunmei was unwilling and said she wanted to find another hotel. The owner said that Luoshan County is a small county. Last year, bandits suffered a disaster and burned down the county. Now he is the only hotel left.

Now that the weather is freezing, Zhang Xunmei blushed and said anxiously: "Then how can I sleep? How can I sleep?"

The shopkeeper said: "It would be warmer if two people sleep in the same bed. Look at how cold it is."

Zhang Xunmei blushed and said, "I haven't been used to sleeping with others since I was a child."

Seeing that his face was flushed with anxiety, Yang Shucheng said, "Brother Zhang, you sleep on the bed, and I'll lie down beside the bed. Let's make do with it for the night."

Zhang Xunmei said awkwardly: "I still can't get used to sleeping."

Seeing that he was in trouble, Yang Shucheng said, "Let's do this, Brother Zhang. You go back to your room and sleep. I'll light a fire in the living room and sit there until dawn."

Zhang Xunmei saw that it was getting dark outside, so she whispered: "That's it."

Yang Shucheng saw that his young master came from a wealthy family and had been pampered since he was a child. Unlike himself, who came from a small and poor family, he could sleep in a straw hut if it wasn't for the cold weather.

Yang Shucheng sent Zhang Xunmei to the room, and the two sat and talked for a while. It was already very late that night, and Yang Shucheng left. Zhang Xunmei closed the door, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Yang Shucheng came to the living room. The owner had already lit up a large pot of charcoal fire. Yang Shucheng sat aside, simmering the fire, and slowly fell asleep.

At this time, he heard footsteps outside, and Yang Shucheng woke up immediately. He hugged his knees with his hands, facing the fire, and turned his back to the door, motionless.

The people outside walked to the window, saw Yang Shucheng through the crack of the window, and shouted: "Boy, you are so cruel, do you dare to come out and fight?"

Yang Shucheng stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window. Outside was the Cheng Yong who bullied the singing girl.

Yang Shucheng knew that the person who came was not good, so he shouted: "Why don't you dare!"

He turned around and walked over, picked up the sword on the table, walked to the window, jumped out of the window, and saw three or four people standing outside the hotel. Cheng Yong shouted:

"Good boy, if you're capable, I'll leave your body intact."

"Is it this kid?" One of them looked at Yang Shu growing up thin and weak, not believing that he could defeat Cheng Yong.

"That's this kid. He has some abilities. Don't be afraid of him. Let's go together."

"It's just this kid. I'll take care of him first. Cheng Yong, you have to treat me to a drink."

"Okay, I'll treat you."

This kid picked up a machete and slashed at Yang Shucheng. Yang Shucheng ducked and started killing him.

This group of people has no real ability, they just rely on their brute strength and ruthlessness. Yang Shucheng didn't take them seriously. After two moves, he stabbed the kid.

The boy jumped away and stopped bragging. He said: "He has some skills. Let's go together. Kill him and let's go drink together."

These three or four people surrounded Yang Shucheng and started killing together. Some used knives, some used sticks, and some used big hammers, and they all attacked Yang Shucheng together.

At this time, the store door opened with a "Yeah" sound, and a handsome young man walked out slowly.

The three or four gangsters stopped immediately, thinking that the other party also had helpers.

That young man was Zhang Xunmei. Seeing that everyone had stopped, he hurriedly said: "Don't stop, keep fighting. I'll stand here and watch the excitement. I won't get in your way."
