Crown Sword

The next day was a rare sunny day in winter, Lao Zhang in Luoyang set up a stall to sell noodles as usual.

"Come on."

Hearing the sound, Lao Zhang looked around in the heat, and saw that the bamboo poles of a corner of the shed were about to fall, he didn't care to wipe off the flour on his hands, and hurried over the pot and stove to hold it up, if it was a few minutes later, the wheels of the cart would surely roll over The rod collapsed.Sitting on the four-wheeled cart and turning the wheels, Jiang Munu couldn't help laughing: "I'm not used to it yet, the road is bumpy, and if I don't pay attention when turning, I get stuck in the axle."

Lao Zhang pushed him to the front of the table, and there were no guests at the moment, so he put the two together so that they were flush with his chest: "It's still the old rule? It's so inconvenient, why didn't the child who was with you last time help? Then The boy looks good, but he is a bit irritable holding a knife, and he looks scary."

"Why, what about kissing?" Jiang Munu smiled, took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks, put them into the noodle pot and scalded them, "Big old man, don't you want to look after your daughter?"

"How can it be, my daughter has already promised someone else." Lao Zhang hurriedly said.

Jiang Munu poked his head and stared straight at him as he scraped ingredients into the bowl, his vigor and speed were like a leaf knife playing with a knife.When he took the bowl, he thanked her and said, "Watch out and see which girl it is from. Let me tell you. But whether it will work or not depends on whether the children are happy or not."

Lao Zhang stared, all the fear of that night was gone, and there were so many people visiting the noodle stall twice, it felt like meeting an old friend for a long time, so he also joked: "Everyone talks about the appointment of parents, the talk of matchmakers, you as a parent , is very enlightened."

"The children are doing well. I'm less distracted, and I'm happy." Jiang Munu smiled, took two mouthfuls of noodles, and suddenly remembered something. He fumbled between his sleeves, and put the paper bags that he carried with him. Kai, finally took out the money, took Lao Zhang's hand, and stuffed it for him, "I would also like to thank the carpenter you found for me, who made this mask to cover my scars, and I can drive on a four-wheeler."

"I can't do that, you saved a lot last time." Old Zhang declined.

Jiang Munu made a serious face: "Isn't your mother sick? That's the medicine. I'm really sorry, next time put more meat toppings."

Lao Zhang weighed the money and put it in his pocket, but he felt really sorry. He just said that he borrowed it from him and would definitely return it later. , followed by wiping the table while chatting with others.Seeing that he found a lot of messy things, he was a little surprised: "Why do you still carry a bunch of mushrooms with you?"

"I brought it for Cui Niang next door. The monkey in her house was clamoring to eat it. I happened to bump into people from the mountains. I bought some because I saw it was fresh." Jiang Munu took a bite of the noodles and replied, "It's not easy for orphans and widows. I can't even cover my days, seeing me alone as an old man, he gave me half of the meat after burning it, saying it was easy, no, I am too."

Lao Zhang pointed to another cloth bag: "What is this?"

"Xupu. The big brother who looks at the shop in Guanhou Street is just like this. Isn't his son serving in the military? He's so boring by himself. Get him a pair. If it's okay, he can play with both hands." Afraid that he might not be able to see clearly, Jiang Munu Just get started, peel out the things, put them one by one, and continue to say, "I eat and drink alone, and I only have one dish and one meal. It’s easy to stretch out.”

"You know how to live." Old Zhang smiled.

After eating the noodles, Jiang Munu put the chopsticks on the bowl, picked up the good things, and turned the wheel to leave: "I have to go, and I have an appointment to eat sugar cane."

"Eat sugar cane?"

"That's right, Hu San's uncle and grandpa are very old, and they always like to eat cold and hard rice. Last time, I reminded me to pay attention to my teeth. Hey, the old man must be angry. He got some sugar cane from somewhere, so he must inform me. I've got to see it with my own eyes before the few remaining teeth are all crumbled."

Lao Zhang watched him go away, and then went back to the stall to clean up.

The four-wheeled vehicle ran over the long street, finally turned the corner at the third alley, and drove slowly into the shadows.Several people came down from the roof, surrounded Jiang Munu, and handed over the news of Ye Zidao's new arrival.

One of them recommended himself: "Do you want your subordinates to go and check the last Wen Gong?"

"Fake," Jiang Munu hardly hesitated, tore the piece of paper in half and sent it back to the man, "Zidao is a kid with a lot of hands and feet, so let's be coaxed."

The man simply said: "This subordinate should write a letter and tell him not to come back."

But Jiang Munu stopped him aloud: "No, let him run. If you don't come to Luoyang, you won't have a long memory. It's good to practice your legs and feet. Well, it happens to be a kiss."

The men in black were struggling to get the fake news, and they were stunned instantly after hearing his words.

"Why, you want it too?"

Suddenly everyone shook their heads like a rattle.

Jiang Munu smiled, but just talking.

Everyone is well aware that the current situation is unclear, and getting married will be a drag instead.However, the truth is so, but for these orphans in the war, it is always warm to have someone care about them.

"Come on, push the cart," Jiang Munu patted one of the men in black on the shoulder and said, "Take a break, let's do something, go and eat sugar cane, your teeth at this age will not even make me sick Why not?"

----

There is an old village in the north of Zhuti County, which was inhabited by the ancient burning people. It is rich in well salt, also known as Yanjin. Gongyangyueji people are now settling here.Because of the war and the inconvenient mountains, there were few visitors, and the business was not open. I searched around but couldn't find the inn. An enthusiastic aunt vacated three rooms for rest.

Just in time for the new year's eve, the people in the yard were lively and had a reunion dinner together.

After the meal, the old aunt went to the doctor's place to buy some medicinal materials, smashed them into powder, kneaded them into pills with wax, put them in a kit bag, and gave one to each of the five people, saying that they were wearing ghost pills on Yuanri , can exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts.There is also this custom in the south of the Yangtze River, and the five people will accept it with a smile, or put it in their pockets, or put it under the pillow, laughing and talking, and watch the year until late at night.

Sleeping late in the morning, after waking up, several people more or less felt some headaches and discomfort, but they didn't take it to heart, just thought that last night there was a wind blowing at the New Year's Eve, and they were cold, so they asked Cui Tanfeng to fry ginger tea to drink .

Shuang Li rubbed his temples and muttered: "After the third watch last night, the old yellow dog outside the door kept barking. If it wasn't cold, I would turn over and kill him for drinking and eating meat."

"I heard it too, probably because I was shocked by the firecrackers. Wasn't there another man making noise outside the house?" Chao Chen answered, helping to serve breakfast.

Gong Yangyue couldn't help showing off his good hearing: "I drank too much, and I must say that Auntie's firecrackers splashed into his yard and hurt the saplings, and they were arguing for compensation. I remember the voice of that person, but the neighbors are neighbors, just the neighbors." How far can a firecracker fly across half a brook? I flew out with a chopstick at that time, and people just left obediently."

After speaking, he led several people to look out, and the bamboo chopsticks were still stuck on the fence.

Auntie just entered the room and heard them discussing enthusiastically, so she couldn't help but join in. However, she only spoke the dialect near Juti County. Fortunately, Gong Yangyue knew a little bit, and even made gestures and guesses, and finally figured out the meaning.

"She said that the second grandpa in that family doesn't like drinking, and he is usually kind and friendly, but last night he looked like he was possessed by a demon."

Shuangli shrank his neck: "Hey, Lao Yue, you added the last sentence without authorization."

"Anyway, that's what it means." Gongyangyue waved his hand.

Qiao Min answered, "Maybe it's just that you know people and faces but don't know your heart."

At this time, there was a series of pinging, bang, bang, and bang noises in the kitchen, followed by shouts and curses.Gongyangyue heard the sound, secretly yelled that it was not good, and hurried over.

The rest of the people followed closely behind. As soon as they stepped out of the threshold, they saw Cui Tanfeng holding a boy with one hand, and raising the other hand as if to beat him. There were smashed bowls and bowls and ginger soup spilled all over the floor.The boy shouted loudly, "I didn't hit you! You posted it yourself!" Then he yelled at the aunt, "Auntie, he wronged me."

"You're talking nonsense!" Cui Tanfeng's cheeks were flushed, she looked excited, and threw down her fists.

A few people were dumbfounded, only then did they realize that he was not bluffing, nor was he trying to teach him a lesson.Gong Yangyue grabbed his hand: "That's enough, just boil it after sprinkling it. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year don't have to worry about such a trivial matter. Besides, I'm still a half-child, so I always have to save face for my aunt."

"Yes, yes, old Fenghuang, what's wrong with you? You never made any noise before, you are so strange today." Shuang Li followed suit.

The child burst into tears, and was dragged into the house by Auntie. Chao Chen cleaned up the pieces, pushed Cui Tanfeng to the kitchen, scooped up a spoonful of clear mountain spring, and handed it over: "Doctor Cui, calm down."

Under the cold water, Cui Tanfeng was excited, and muttered to himself: "This is me, what's wrong?"

Cui Tanfeng stopped him: "Chao Chen, am I behaving strangely today?"

"It seems to be a little bit, maybe I didn't have a good rest yesterday. I heard that some people have bad sleep and have a bad temper when they wake up." Chao Chen was stunned, and then relieved, "Don't think so much, you have to hurry Woolen cloth."

Cui Tanfeng slowed down, she was not a person who cares about anything, she personally apologized to her aunt, when she was about to leave the house, the younger one ended up quarreling, and the older one also got into a fight, it was very unpleasant.I don't even know if this "bad temper" is contagious. When drinking ginger soup, Shuang Li took a mouthful, spat it rudely into the bowl, and cursed "dorsty", almost causing internal strife.

If one person is like this, it can still be called a coincidence, but if two people talk about a coincidence, it is too far-fetched.

Something was wrong with Gongyang Yuexin, so she called out to Master to leave first.But the five of them didn't expect that the bad things just started when they left the courtyard and crossed the mountain.

Yanjin Village is built according to the mountains and rivers, and my aunt lives in the south. If I want to use the road, I have to go across the village. It stands to reason that on the first day of the year, people should be happy and happy, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the new year, but when everyone meets each other, they have to go to the village. After eating firecrackers, it took only half a cup of tea to come out. Several people along the road were fighting because of their bickering. Some even said that Gong Yangyue blocked his bullock cart and yelled across the half street.

Gong Yangyue didn't do anything at first, because the dialect was obscure anyway, and he couldn't understand half a word when he spoke quickly.But he is obviously stepping on a blind spot. The righteous heroes he meets on weekdays all rely on their status. If you ignore him, he will stop.

You can't scold me, but the person rushed up with a slop bucket.

Pushed straight to the rocky beach, the swill was splashed out, Gong Yangyue covered her sleeves to avoid it, and hit a sword with her backhand.The long sword was supposed to stab the throat, but it was deflected an inch halfway, and instead hit the neck. As soon as the force was released, the person fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.It stands to reason that someone with a little sharp eyesight should stop the fire and run away at this moment, but what he never expected was that the man was not afraid at all, and he got up straight and wanted to attack head-on.

Now, several people felt that something was wrong.

Chao Chen recalled that in the morning, Cui Tanfeng was also so angry. Later, she calmed down after drinking some cold mountain spring water in the kitchen.

The man was stunned, and finally came to his senses, looking at Gong Yangyue, who was holding a long sword and had a hostile face, he suddenly became stunned: "Hey, didn't I chase the mad cow? Why am I just a person?" The man scratched his head, and looked Look, his ox cart was parked at the entrance of the village, and he was asking someone to take the sheep. He immediately didn't even want the slop bucket, and was so frustrated that he went to find another person to fight.

It is no coincidence that the whole village is like this, there must be a common reason.

Ram's moonlight eyes fell on the man's waist——

But Onimaru!
