Martial Lord

Chapter 8

This tumultuous two-day contest ended in a tie.

Regarding this result, the onlookers expressed their distaste, and the gamblers were even more resentful.Although the gambling game is gone, the result of such a banker taking all, inevitably makes people suspect that it is the design behind the gambling house and pawn shop.Wu Xie didn't want to explain anything at the moment, and he didn't bother to explain anything. As far as he was concerned, it would be great if this turmoil came to an end.

That day he chose the little brother without hesitation, in fact, he knew in his heart that Xiaohua would definitely support Wang Meng. He didn't want the little brother to lose, so he didn't think much about it.So when Wu Xie saw Xiao Hua's empty note, he immediately knew that he had been tricked.

How shrewd is Xie Yuchen?He has been out and about since he was a child, and he is the most all-faced person, so how could he really face him in such a competition, just to push him as a favor.Wu Xie might not be unable to figure this matter out in normal times, but he would be confused if he cared about it. He was only afraid that Daxia Zhang would suffer, and he completely ignored the little guy who worked hard these days.Facing Wang Meng's expectant eyes, Wu Xie felt guilty, and he pinched the note and threw it into his cuff with his backhand, making the difficult decision now.

As I said before, if you lose, you can leave, if you win, you can stay. Now both sides have won, and both sides have also lost.So now the situation is clear: either stay or both go.Sure enough, after the tie was announced, Wu Xie also announced the final result: keep both.

Naturally, they all have to stay, so can they all be driven away?What is he trying to do all this time...

Afterwards, Xie Yuchen made Wu Xie a good joke, saying that Wu Xie knew this a long time ago, so why did he seem to have a big grudge with that Zhang Qiling at the beginning, but in the end he felt distressed and couldn't bear it.Wu Xie was so embarrassed by what was said, but he had nothing to refute, so he had to make up another lie, saying that Zhang Qiling was actually his distant cousin. Although the relationship was not very good, he still had to take care of him.He said it firmly, and reluctantly settled the matter, and he didn't know if Xiao Hua believed it or not.

So far, the turmoil has finally come to an end.As for wages... It's easy to say: take care of food and housing, one or two silver per person per month-what?You said you ordered two taels earlier?

joke!One person's job is done by two, of course it's one person's half!If you want to earn his double salary, there is no way!

Another three days passed in a flash, Zhang Qiling's injury improved greatly, and Wu Shandang did not cause any trouble again, Wu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief.With Zhang Daxia here, naturally there is no need to worry about the gamblers next door causing trouble, but recently there seem to be more female customers in the store, and a lot of gold bracelets, gold chains, and gold pendants have been pawned... Wang Meng has also begun to learn to manage accounts. Although the boy is a little lazy, he is still safe in doing things. It seems that he has experienced a lot of experience with the original boss, and Wu Xie is very satisfied.

The only thing I regret is Wang Meng's craftsmanship. If you ask him to cook a meal, he always brings out some weird things.Once, Wang Meng fried a large piece of chicken breast into a patty, sandwiched it with lettuce leaves into two slices of steamed buns, and said that it was a "Ham Bao Bao" and that there was a white bearded man in his hometown. The old man and a clown with a colorful face are known far and wide for selling this; another time, Wu Xie called him pancakes, and after Wang Meng baked them, he put a plate of leftovers on top, and then cut them into six pieces, calling them "fart pancakes". "——Listen, this name makes people lose their appetite... Wang Meng said it swearingly, it doesn't look like a lie, but Wu Xie asked him where his hometown is, and he couldn't tell.It seems that this kid's brain is still not thorough.

To sum up, Wu Xie thought that he would cook the dinner tonight, so he closed the shop early.I don't want him to have an accident the moment he walked into the yard——

"Boom" sound!A heavy object landed against the tip of Wu Xie's nose.

Wu Xie was taken aback by the shock, and when she took a closer look, there was a limp cloth bag on the ground.Shopkeeper Xiao Wu was still in shock, wondering if this was some new type of hidden weapon?This cloth bag looks heavy, it must be the work of a master to be able to drop it in the air.And the sound of the landing was not right, it was muffled and heavy, like a body of flesh and blood...

Wu Xie has read such a story in the book, saying that the masters of the rivers and lakes will intimidate the enemy before going to the door, such as pressing bloody fingerprints on the door, or throwing hands, feet, heads, etc., intending to say: wait and see, You are next!With this thought, Wu Xie's face turned pale.Could it be that the little brother's identity was exposed, and the enemy came to the door...Suddenly, there was another loud "gudong" in my ears.

This movement was a bit loud, before Wu Xie could call out, Zhang Qiling kicked open the door, and even Wang Meng ran over in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Boss! Old... Boss Wang?" The young man couldn't help being taken aback by the strange scene in front of him.

I saw a round figure turned down under the courtyard wall, with a wine jar in his arms, who is it if it's not Fatty Wang from the gambling shop next door?

"Hey, Qinggong is a little bit backward, but fortunately, Fatty protected this jar of good wine with his strong muscles! And this—" Fatty Wang picked up the cloth bag and threw it at Wu Xie, "Come on, meet and greet. The five-spice chicken in lotus leaf outside the building is still hot."

Wu Xie was so scalded that he shrank his hand and shook it a few times before catching it. When he touched it, it was indeed "flesh and blood", with the smell of lotus leaf and chicken, fragrant but not greasy.Wu Xie quickly waved away those terrible associations in his mind, and coughed dryly: "Boss Wang, what are you doing?"

"A treat!" Fatty Wang put the wine jar on the stone table, and said, "I said Xiao Wu, look at Fatty, who travels through mountains and rivers, you won't give him face?"

I beg you to climb over the wall of my house?

Wu Xie was a little speechless, and looking at the other side, Zhang Daxia's face was not very good, as if Fatty Wang took one step closer, and he would smoothly send him back behind the wall.Wu Xie hurriedly said: "Forget it, little brother, let's listen to what he has to say first."

Only then did Zhang Qiling withdraw his murderous intent.

Fatty Wang smiled and said, "That's right, brother, I know you love your wife, but Fatty really wants to make friends with you two. I offended you a lot last time, but we don't know each other no?"

Wu Xie had no choice but to say, "Boss Wang, let's not talk about what happened last time. But you want to treat guests, so why not go this way?"

"Isn't this close..."

In fact, after what happened last time, Wu Xie had a pretty good impression of the fat man, not to mention that the visitor was a guest and came to make peace.Wu Xie threw the roast chicken into Wang Meng's arms, and told him to go to the kitchen to find a plate to serve, which was considered to have received the fat man's kindness.

Fatty is a good player to enliven the atmosphere, with him joining, the dinner table was full of excitement.Only then did Wu Xie know that the fat man and the third uncle were really business partners.Fatty Wang's family business is in Shuntian Mansion. This time he came to Jiangnan to see the new place, and he will go back when things are stable. He originally wanted to build a good relationship with the neighbors. He didn't want to have a misunderstanding before he could say hello to Wu Xie. .He came this time, one is that he really wants to turn his quarrel with Wu Shan into a friendship, and he will return to Shuntian Mansion in the future. I am afraid that the gambling house will need Wu Xie to take care of him in the future. It is always right to have a good relationship; He is also a member of the rivers and lakes. During the battle in the gambling house that day, he admired his brother's martial arts very much, and wanted to ask him what school and school he studied under - to put it bluntly, he wanted to have a relationship with a master.

The first thing is easy to say, Wu Xie didn't want to cause trouble at first, not to mention the addition of the third uncle; the second thing is not up to him.The little brother ignored it, and the fat man turned to ask Wu Xie.Wu Xie was annoyed by the question, so she simply brought out the rhetoric that fooled Xiao Hua.Because he didn't communicate with Zhang Qiling beforehand, Wu Xie was afraid that the other party would not understand, so he rubbed against him under the table, and said softly, "Is that so, big cousin?"

Zhang Qiling took a look at him, and said "hmm", he recognized it.

But the fat man persisted. After drinking for three rounds, he got drunk and yelled: "Fatty man was also a quack who traveled all over the world back then. He has seen a lot of worlds. How dare brother Zhang be so disrespectful?" Dare to make a bet with Fatty me again?"

"Ah? You still want to gamble?" Wu Xie was speechless, thinking that this person really doesn't have a long memory.

The fat man got up and punched him, and said: "I will dare to ask Brother Zhang to teach you two moves. Wang thinks he will not be your opponent, but within sixteen moves, if I can't tell you the martial arts method of my brother, I will punish myself." Three bowls!"

As soon as Wu Xie heard that he was about to make a move, he hurriedly said, "Fatty, you drank too much and talked nonsense. Today is the day when our brothers are friends, how can you use a knife or a gun."

"Tsk, naive, don't play tricks. When did the fat man say he used a knife or a gun? You can just do two moves with your bare hands, and it won't hurt your kindness."

"That's not okay, little brother, he..."

Before he finished speaking, Fatty Wang shot out of nowhere, bypassing Wu Xie and grabbing Zhang Qiling's right shoulder.Zhang Daxia was picking up vegetables, and he didn't even look at it, but the next moment he heard the fat man howl.As soon as Wu Xie turned his head, he saw that the fat man's fingers were firmly clamped by the chopsticks, and half of his fingers were already purple.With such strength, if the little brother hadn't been merciful, the fat man's fingers might have been lost.

Unexpectedly, Fatty still didn't give up, and the other hand quickly pushed it out.This move was so urgent and fast that even Wu Xie felt the wind in his palm.Zhang Daxia raised his eyelids, lifted the tip of his chopsticks in the air, and easily dissipated the force of that palm.Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, but at that moment just now, he didn't even see clearly how he was opened.But the fat man's mind was quick, he flew back the wine bowl, took advantage of the gap when Zhang Qiling took the wine bowl, and shot again.Although the fat man had a round body, his movements were very flexible. Wu Xie only felt a phantom in front of his eyes, and the fat man's palm arrived almost at the same time as the wine bowl.Zhang Daxia didn't change his face, and at the same time as receiving the move, he seemed to casually pick up the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, and the bowl flew back in a circle.Immediately, the chopsticks twirled between his index finger and middle finger, and as he bent and stretched his arms, it seemed to be alive, and he broke Fatty's sixteen strokes in an instant.After [-] strokes, there was a brisk sound, the sound of the wine bowl falling back to the table, not a single drop of wine was spilled in the bowl, and even its position remained the same as before.And Zhang Qiling didn't even have a single pleat between his elbows, he only used his right hand to defuse [-] fierce attacks from the beginning to the end, and he didn't let the fat man touch him in the slightest.

Not only the fat man, but even Wu Xie and Wang Meng were dumbfounded.Fatty's moves were quick and ruthless just now, but now he was panting, and the alcohol had completely woken up.He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a handsome skill! Little brother, what kind of strange move are you doing, I've never seen it before!"

Zhang Qiling glanced at him, and asked without answering: "Your moves are from the Great Compassion Palm, did you learn from Shaolin?"

The Great Compassion Palm, also known as the Great Compassion Heart Tueloni Fist, is the treasure of Shaolin, and non-virtuous monks have no chance to learn it.Although Wang Fatty is not a monk, but these sixteen moves are undoubtedly Shaolin Great Compassionate Palm.

Fatty's eyes lit up: "That's right, Fatty, I'm under the abbot of Shaolin Gu Yue. But I don't call it the Great Compassion Palm, but the Great Joy Palm."

"What is Daxi Zhang?" Wu Xie asked curiously.

"The Great Compassion Palm has 120 and eight movements, which run through every step. It takes years and months of practice. I am very happy when I only learned half of it, so it is called the Great Joy Palm."

"...Just say you can't do it if you don't practice well." Wu Xie laughed.

Zhang Qiling ignored the fat man's nonsense, just threw the chopsticks aside, picked up Wu Xie's chopsticks and continued eating.Just as Wu Xie wanted to say, brother, I'll get you a pair of new ones, but Zhang Daxia has already put a chopstick into his mouth.Wu Xiexin said that you don't dislike me... so she asked Wang Meng to fetch a new pair of chopsticks.

The fat man is still reminiscing about the exquisite trick just now, but now he looks at Zhang Qiling with the same eyes as looking at a god, and he is full of admiration.Wu Xie couldn't help feeling satisfied, and said with a smile, "What, have you admitted defeat? Do you still want to fight?"

Fatty waved his hand: "Brother Zhang is a young hero, and I, Fatty Wang, admire him. Come, let me do this bowl first as a respect."

"Brother, you can't drink." Wu Xie still remembered this, picked up the wine bowl without thinking, and said, "I'm not good at fighting, so let me drink." The wine bowl was drained in one gulp, even Zhang Qiling was a little dazed.

The fat man was taken aback for a moment, but he laughed loudly: "No wonder my little brother is so protective, you are such a virtuous daughter-in-law!"

Wu Xie was trying to calm down, and he almost choked on what he said: "Why do you still remember this? It's endless, right?"

The fat man didn't take it seriously: "Just kidding, why are you so serious? Look at your blushing like a monkey's butt..."

"That's for drinking!" Wu Xie put down the bowl in a daze, and let out a loud noise.

His alcohol capacity is only average, and the wine bowl is a bit big, it's really a bit good to drink it in one breath.The fat man spoke without borders, and Wu Xie couldn't understand it sometimes, so he separated a few words from him. Both of them were a little drunk, but they were not restrained, and they had a lively meal. Forged a friendship.Zhang Daxia was unexpectedly patient. Although he didn't drink or talk much, he stayed until the end, but Wang Meng was heroic again—it turned out that it wasn't Xiaohua's wine that had a problem last time, Wang Meng was the real one. "Pour in a glass".

After drinking and eating, the fat man wanted to climb over the wall with his drunken fists, but was stopped by Wu Xie and sent back through the main entrance.Three days later, Fatty Wang returned to Shuntian Mansion, and before leaving, he said goodbye to Wu Xie. He said with pride, if the two of them go to Shuntian Mansion in the future, they must go to Panjiayuan to call Fatty Wang. Let's drink and talk together to continue the present.
