[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

It is not very far from Xingkong Island to Kaifeng Mansion, only two thousand miles.Bai Wuye's horse is of course the best horse in the world. It is said that it can run a thousand times a day and go eight hundred times a night.When we arrived in Kaifeng, we tried the newly brewed wine, went to the teahouse to listen to a storytelling, and returned to the island after finishing our work, which was the tenth day.

"Fifth! You're back!" Jiang Ping has been guarding the pier these days. When he saw the fifth younger brother, he pushed the abacus and closed the fan. He personally took up the big oar and said, "Hey, where is the second brother?"

"Second brother? I didn't see you. What's wrong with him?" Bai Yutang tossed the reins of the horse to the attendant, took a knife in one hand, took off the package with the other, and boarded the boat.

"What else can I do? I went to find you. You two brothers, you two have diverged!" Jiang Ping shook his head: "Forget it, it's good that you come back, the second brother is such a stable person that he can't be lost-sit firmly? sail!"

The first thing I did when I got back to the island was, of course, to take my fifth brother to see my eldest brother and sister-in-law.Before Jiang Ping reached the yard, he began to shout: "Come and see, the fifth child is back!"

Mrs. Lu was leading the maids to dry the quilts. Hearing the sound, she hurriedly came out with a smile: "Hey, fifth child, have you been arrested? Show your sister-in-law, and you bought such a big bag, what's so delicious?"

"Delicious?" Lou Xiaochong, who was squatting in the corner and combed his hair by the little maid, also broke free and ran to see. He has tried "delicious food" at Mrs. Lu's place these days, and the servants of Lu's family all said As long as there is a plate of cakes, this young master will take good care of him and never run around.

Just know how to eat!Bai Yutang secretly rolled his eyes, put the package on the stone table, and opened it: "It's not delicious, but it's definitely fun." He ordered a few things and said their names: "Youxian pillow, yin and yang mirror, ancient and modern basin."

drink!Jiang Ping listened, and took a breath: "Really, just hearing the name is very—"

"Very valuable?" Bai Yutang looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"No, it's very troublesome - don't move!" Jiang Ping pressed Lou Xiaochong who wanted to pick up the yin and yang mirror to take a picture, and signaled the housekeeper to take him to a place farther away to play, and then summoned his internal strength and shouted : "Brother! Come out and take care of your fifth brother! This unlucky boy has caused trouble--"

Among the Five Rat Brothers, Jiang Ping travels far and wide to discuss business and do business more. He is well-informed and clever. He is like a military adviser.Hearing what he said, Mrs. Lu became anxious first: "What a disaster? Fourth brother, don't scare people indiscriminately."

"What a disaster?" Fourth Master Jiang laughed dryly, looking at Mr. Lu who had just landed—this man obviously came here with a lot of luck.Fourth master raised a finger and gestured upwards: "This disaster can be as big as it wants. If you have to say it, it's as big as the 'sky'."

Fourth Master Jiang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the cold tea soup, calmed down, and talked about the ins and outs of these treasures. All in all, they belonged to the emperor's family.In the middle of the journey, Bai Yutang tried to sneak out several times, but his elder brother held him down.At the end, the fourth master concluded: "Fifth brother, although it's great that you can get into the palace, but this kind of thing, tsk tsk, it's better to return it quickly before people find out."

"That's right, return it right away." Brother Lu also ordered with a calm face, "Lu Xin, prepare dry food for him."

"What kind of dry food are you preparing!" Mrs. Lu waved away the butler with a handkerchief. "The head of the house, can you trust him to return the treasure by himself? Let me tell you, it's better for you to take the fourth brother there yourself and play by ear."

yes!Lu Fang slapped his head: "Madam is right, I'm so confused—fourth..."

"No need, it's not what you think." Bai Yutang glanced at Third Brother Xu who had just heard the commotion and came to see the excitement, and explained, "It wasn't stolen from the palace, it was from the Kaifeng government office."

Huh, so it's Kaifeng Mansion... Wait!Neither can Kaifeng Mansion!The same is the imperial gift and cannot be moved lightly!Lu Fang looked at his wife, teaching children to be encouraged, he considered to persuade the fifth brother: "Old brother, you didn't go into the palace to mess around, my brothers are very pleased, but this thing still has to be... ..."

"Who said I didn't go to the palace? I just stopped by Kaifeng Mansion." Bai Yutang looked at these brothers who were stunned by him, and suddenly felt upset and didn't want to care about others.He stood up on his own, gathered the burden skin, and carried it on his shoulders in a bundle: "I brought the things, so naturally I have the final say. My surname is written, and my first name is left. It is my life to take the blame."

Bai Yutang walked away, but Jiang Ping pulled him back.Lu Fang yelled angrily: "Fifth! Stop!" His fifth younger brother walked away without even a beat.

Mr. Xu didn't fully understand the situation, so he called Jiang Ping: "What's the matter? If the fifth brother gets into trouble, the elder brothers will help him to calm it down. Why is the elder brother so angry?"

"Hey, third brother, this is not a matter of loyalty." Jiang Ping glanced at his elder brother and patted Mr. Xu on the shoulder, "We can't afford the so-called people not fighting with officials—but then again, "Jiang Ping stroked his beard and sneered, "Since the fifth younger brother even left his name, tsk tsk, as an older brother, even if he loses all his face and gains his life and wealth, he still has to play with him to the end!"

Big Brother Lu looked up at the sky and took a deep breath: "Lu Xin! Call the leaders of all the ferry crossings, and hold a meeting in the front hall after three incense sticks! And - all the ships will stop immediately, fourth brother, you will arrange it yourself one time."

Hey, Jiang Ping thrust his fan into his waist: "Design!"

The sun is high and the sky is high, it is a lively time.

Let's say that Zhan Zhao was impatient to chase treasures, and traveled day and night on the road. Although it took a little effort to oversee Wansui after the incident, he arrived outside the Songjiang mansion in the afternoon of this day.

Reining in his horse and looking east, Zhan Zhao feels a little relieved when he sees the atmosphere floating on the island like cooking smoke from a distance.Laughing self-deprecatingly, Zhan Zhao got off his horse, maybe because he was young in the public school, and he was still a man of the rivers and lakes in his bones, when he heard the names of these green forest heroes, something echoed in his heart.But for the moment, he had to find a ferry.

There are many people coming and going at the ferry, but most of them are dressed as merchants, not a single fisherman and boatman.Zhan Zhao turned around twice, and then under the shade of a tree, he saw a man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, holding a big oar, negotiating the price with a potbellied businessman—of course, this boatman was Jiang Siye in disguise.

"You are so unreasonable as a guest. The price is 20 taels of snowflake silver. You insist on pressing down to [-] Wen. It's not such a way to bargain, is it?"

"20 taels! Why don't you grab it!"

The businessman stomped his feet and ran away, Zhan Zhao stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Chuan, I am in a hurry, and I have to rush to the empty island, can I trouble the ferry?"

"Urgent matter? Hehe," Jiang Ping said in his heart that the cat is very polite. He was amused, and pressed the big bamboo hat: "200 taels of snowflake silver, one point less, no crossing!"

Ten times more?This is obviously taking advantage of people's dangers to extort... Wait, the business of the empty island is very big, not to mention the wealth is incomparable, it is enough to buy Songjiang Mansion, there is no reason why there is no ferryman in broad daylight.Zhan Zhao thought to himself, the island must have been prepared, so the person in front of him must have been arranged as well.However, the Five Rats of the Sky have always been famous for their "righteousness", so it shouldn't hurt to deal with them carefully.

Zhan Zhao thought about this, touched the purse, and said with a smile: "I'm in a hurry on this road, and I don't have a lot of silver with me. If I get the help of the boatman to cross the island, then the owner of Lu Zhuang is the most generous, and I will be able to borrow some money. Come, you will not be short of the ship's fare."

Yo ho!Our brother didn't say how to deal with you, you even started to borrow money, you are so beautiful!Jiang Ping pulled his beard: "...So, the guest actually knows Hero Lu? He must be a strong man in the Jianghu? In that case, I can make an exception to save you."

"Well," Zhan Zhao clenched his fist behind him, it was a matter of convenience, and he couldn't use his old status, "I'm sorry."

Very good, unmooring and sailing.

All the way along the boat trip, Zhan Zhao listened to the boatman's elder brother talk about his admiration for the heroes of the world, especially Beixia Ouyang Chun and Dongfang Xia Zhihua, but Zhan Zhao's name was never mentioned.Seeing that there was still less than ten zhang to reach the shore, the boatman suddenly stopped rowing.He threw the oars into the water and laughed loudly: "I respect bloody men the most, even my boat has the same temper - the more heroic the boat, the smoother and smoother it will be. But if it's someone like those treacherous and servile people, hahahaha——" With a smile like this, he leaned back and did a backflip, plopped, and plunged into the water.

"Hey! Boatman!" Zhan Zhao hurriedly leaned over the side of the boat to look, but there was no one to be seen, only the swaying green sea water made people dizzy for a while.

Fanjiang mouse Jiang Ping.The shots are not harsh, and he has never killed anyone in his hands in the ten years since his debut, but he is a master who has repeatedly lost his moves.Zhan Zhao tied up the package tightly, looked at the wooden planks that were slowly unglued at the bow, shook his head and smiled wryly, what is this?To tease him to vent his anger, or to test him?

However, this kind of topic is not difficult for him to Zhan Zhao.The so-called "swallows copy water three times", they saw the nearest foothold, seven feet and five feet away, and when they were full of breath, they only needed to hit the water once in the middle of the way, and they could stand firmly on the rocks on the shore. It is inevitable that the shoes and socks will get wet , but not too embarrassing.

After landing on the shore, Zhan Zhao looked around, but there was no one there, only the sound of bamboo whistles sounded in the distance, which seemed to be the people on the island sending messages to respond.The rocky beach in front of me looked strange, and Jiang Sixia was not seen coming out of the water, so there must be another way to enter the island.I heard that there are many institutions in the empty island, so we must be careful.Zhan Zhao squatted down to check the old and new footprints, and carefully followed the tracks to the south.

Of course Jiang Ping also dived ashore, changed into clean clothes and rushed to the front hall to discuss with his elder brother and third brother.

"That Zhan Zhao is really powerful. In terms of lightness kung fu alone, I'm afraid only the fifth brother can compete with him—if the elder brother is young and not fat, he will probably be able to."

Lu Fang gave Jiang Ping a blank look: "Let's talk about business! Zhan Zhao is not trapped by you, nor is he trapped in Xitan, but how should he kill him?"

Xu Qingzao couldn't bear it anymore, and waved his big copper hammer: "It's not so troublesome, this island is our own territory, stop him directly, fight upright, let him know what is a real good man ,big hero!"

"Sit down for me!" Lu Fang grabbed the third younger brother and threw him back into the chair, "Since Zhan Zhao didn't reveal his identity, we just pretended not to know - then we can ask him about trespassing, It also seems that if we are more confident, it will be easier to talk about the fifth brother."

Jiang Ping was amused when he heard it: "Brother, you usually seem to be quiet, so you can plot against people!"

But Lu Fang stared: "When I debuted, you still dragged your nose and asked for sweets! You still have such a poor time to arrange the next thing! How long has it been since you heard the whistle?"

The whistle was not heard because no one saw Zhan Zhao anymore.

No one saw Zhan Zhao because he was lured into a trap by Bai Yutang and fell into the Tongtian Cave.He fell hard and ignored the pain. It was suddenly pitch black. He was groping around trying to find a way out, but he heard a creaking sound from the flap above. When he looked up, a white shadow flew, and another person fell down.The place was too narrow to move around, and the ground was solid, Zhan Zhao was hit straight.

The man was also agile, he borrowed a little strength, turned over and jumped up, ignoring Zhan Zhao, pointing to the top of the cave above his head and yelling:

"Lou Xiaochong! You did a good job!"

The author has something to say:

Lou Xiaochong!What you did is indeed a good thing! Good Job!

Cough cough, how could the fifth master have been tricked by his family's agency?Obviously Lou Xiaochong did something wrong~

The person in the cave was originally the father of a flower girl who was taken over by the slaves of the Bai family. Because of Lou Xiaochong's misbehavior, he was dropped by the butterfly~ replaced by a mouse and a cat and locked in a small black room together - I think the girl We all have no opinion.By the way, it shouldn't matter even if Die Die loses the Ding twins and their sister as a whole family [I have no motivation to write about dismantling the CP female supporting role]

The four mice have worked so hard for Xiaobai, but Xiaobai always wants to solve the problem by himself a little ungratefully.After all, he is young, eager to be independent, and has always been well protected by his brothers. It is inevitable to think about the problem simply, but responsibility, morality, blood, etc., are not lacking in the big details.

In contrast, Zhan Zhao is much more mature [I don’t know if I express this feeling, hide my face] According to the original novel, he is seven or eight years older than Bai Yutang. It’s a test of man—the Fourth Master Jiang has made many insinuations about him [Hey, it’s all written by you] Uh huh~

Having said so much, what I actually want to express is——I shut the two together!
