Willing to change Qingfeng to fight the rivers and lakes

fourteen,

Yujie Village was already in front of him, Bai Yutang looked around and said in shock, "Zhan Zhao, is this really just a village?"

Zhan Zhao stopped in his tracks, followed Bai Yutang's line of sight, with a somewhat proud but vaguely uneasy expression on his face, he coughed and smiled slightly, "Why? It doesn't look like it?"

No wonder Bai Yutang was surprised. Although Bai Yutang had already ventured into the rivers and lakes as a teenager, it was his first time visiting Yujie Village.In addition to Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Diancang, and Kongtong, which are huge and have a glorious history, there are also some prominent martial arts families in the Jianghu.

Although some of these martial arts families are respected by others because their ancestors sacrificed for the morality of the world, most of them can only exist because of their own special talents and martial arts.

Among them are the "Zhang Jianzhai" in the capital city with medical skills, the "Tianyu Pond" with pure water, the "Nangong Family" with a long history and riches, and the "Five Tigers Peng Family" famous for its fear of swords. The "Thunderbolt Hall" is famous for its firearms. Among all the martial arts families, there is also the Tangmen in the middle of Sichuan, which is unique in the world with hidden weapons and poisons.

But these are different from Yujie Village. It seems that Yujie Village has never produced any big figures who are proud of the Jianghu, and there are no martial arts secrets that are unique in the world. Although the name in the Jianghu is not as good as those with a long history of martial arts , but it has never been underestimated.

Even the reputation of Yujie Village is faintly still on the Sunken Island.

Bai Yutang used to be very disdainful, so what if there are a few knights like Zhan Zhao in a small village in the south of the Yangtze River?How can it be famous on the empty island?And even my elder brothers are convinced when they talk about the empty island, why?

Bai Yutang only vaguely remembered that when he broke out in Yujie Village because of the Zhan Zhao incident, the fourth brother once patted his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't depend on anything, just rely on him. Since Yujie Village was built for a hundred years, the family has never There have been scumbags, and among those martial arts masters from the aristocratic families of the rivers and lakes, there are not many disciples and grandchildren who are incompetent, but the Zhan family has never been born, and this alone is enough to make people in the rivers and lakes respect."

Now, Bai Yutang has really come here. This Yujie Village is actually Zhanjia Village. According to Zhan Zhao, nine out of ten people in the village are people with the surname Zhan. It has grown into a small city.Here, from basic necessities of life, to rest and entertainment, even death, funeral, and marriage, there is no need to ask for anything extra, and it is surprising that everything is well prepared.In fact, the most sophisticated restaurants, the latest silk and satin shops, and the most complete range of cosmetics are all located in Yujie Village with a radius of hundreds of miles.

The disciples of the Zhan family all have special skills, and they use their talents to make money, and then spend it in these shops.

All the human, material and financial resources of Yujie Village, including all the surrounding villages, are circulated in this area.Even the government master who is urging the tax payment will put away his pretentious and pretentious appearance and accompany the smiling face to be accommodating.Day after day, year after year, Yujie Village naturally became more prosperous and stronger.

Bai Yutang originally had the intention of coming to provoke, but once he entered Yujie Village, he no longer cared about his original intention. In the sunny weather in early September, the verdant Baihua Ridge and the scale-like ridges of the roof On the road, dark green tiles are lined up, stretching from the end of the road at the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain.

Looking at it from where Zhan Zhao is standing now, it is impossible for anyone not to be moved by this scene.

It gives people the impression that it is not only magnificent, but also solemn and majestic, solid, and not fancy.Bai Yutang felt that this was very similar to Zhan Zhao's indistinct aura, perhaps only in such a place with such outstanding people would there be such a forbearing character like Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao quietly looked ahead, and said calmly, "This is my home."

There was a deep emotion in his tone: "What do you think of this place?"

Bai Yutang sighed and praised: "It's really good."

This is his truth.

Walking slowly along the spacious avenue, at the end of the road is the entrance of Yujie Village. Rows of tall bamboos are planted along the edge of the village, forming a not-so-standard wall. There are no tall trees here. There is only a simple two-story bamboo building in the city tower. The not-so-thick village gate is wide open. The freshly painted paint has not dried completely, and there is a faint smell of paint in the air.

Zhan Zhao explained: "Every year before the Double Ninth Festival, we have to repaint this gate."

Bai Yutang looked around and asked, "Why?"

Zhan Zhao's tone seemed to pause for a moment, and he continued: "Because the Double Ninth Festival is also my mother's birthday, every year on that day, the whole village celebrates her birthday. Everyone can enjoy it to their heart's content on this day. There is never a shortage of good wine, and sometimes it is even more lively than New Year's Eve."

Bai Yutang could imagine that that day must be a carnival day.

Zhan Zhao sighed softly: "It's not many days until the Double Ninth Festival, it's rare that I came back early this year, so I can take you around to see the excitement, now some theater troupes must have come, and they have started to set up a stage to sing, right? All the shops are fully stocked with goods, and maybe there are some rare items that can catch your fifth master Bai's eyes."

Bai Yutang laughed, not hiding his eagerness to try, but suddenly changed the subject: "That's great, but don't you want to go home to pay your respects to your mother's birthday first?"

Zhan Zhao's face seemed to froze for a moment, and he said instantly, "A few days ago, I had entrusted someone to deliver my birthday gift. According to the usual practice in previous years, my family probably didn't know that I would come so early. I can steal some time to accompany you, otherwise, if I have to take care of my relatives and friends when I go home, I won’t be able to accompany you.”

Bai Yutang had a temper for a while, so he quickly smiled and said, "Alright, I originally thought that Yujie Village was a small village, but I didn't expect it to be so grand. If I don't have someone familiar to lead me, I'm afraid I will really be lost. Where is the road?"

As soon as you enter the village, you will see the entire street made of bluestone slabs, which are neat and clean, and each piece of bluestone slab is washed to shine like a mirror.On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops with bright facades and complete goods.

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Others think that the so-called martial arts family is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. In fact, we welcome others to come here. Anyone can come. We welcome anyone."

Bai Yutang had already seen a few knight-errants who were well-known in the rivers and lakes drinking in wine shops or strolling on the street. What are you doing here?"

Zhan Zhao said: "It's good to just come for a stroll, anyway, every year on my mother's birthday, there will always be some friends from the Jianghu who come to join us. Although our Zhan family rarely walks in the Jianghu, there are still some of these family friends."

Bai Yutang was standing at a stall and was asking the price of the item in his hand. Seeing Zhan Zhao following him, he smiled and said, "The item is good, but the price is too high. You are from here and help me bargain."

Zhan Zhao squinted at Mian and said with a smile: "You should be able to see that this is an easy place to spend money, even if I don't have a few taels of silver in my pocket, I wouldn't dare to take other people's things casually, such things as bargaining I don't know how to do it." Seeing Bai Yutang's displeasure, he smiled again: "Every shop here is not cheap, and sometimes they even hit me hard." Of course Bai Yutang saw it. Based on this point, the goods in each store are all high-quality goods.

After hesitating for a while, Bai Yutang still paid the bill out of his own pocket. Zhan Zhao wanted to see what he had bought, but Bai Yutang was mysterious and refused to take it out. The two had a quarrel for a while, and Zhan Zhao had to give up.

All the shopkeepers and shopkeepers in the store greeted people with smiles, and when they saw a customer approaching, they greeted them from a distance, seeming indescribably lively and indescribably happy.

Bai Yutang sighed softly: "Everyone here seems to be very enthusiastic, but the asking price is so ruthless."

Zhan Zhao smiled, and said, "You're wrong." He deliberately lowered his voice, "It's not that they like someone, but the money in those people's wallets, if you want someone to take out the money in their wallets and give it to you, You just have to pretend that you like him very much." Wuji laughed loudly, and the people in the shops on both sides also laughed, although Zhan Zhao lowered his voice, he just said that it was just enough for the people next to him to hear.

The shop with the best pretense and the most beautiful appearance sells Kit Kat toys and rouge pollen. It is even bigger than the oldest "Gemstone Store" in Bianliang City.

Outside the front of a row of six bays, a soft sedan was parked, and a very handsome young man in a green coat and hat stood quietly waiting in front of the soft sedan. When Zhan Zhao saw him, he couldn't help but his face changed slightly. Pulled away Bai Yutang, turned around and left.

Bai Yutang had already seen the soft sedan chair and noticed Zhan Zhao's strangeness, so he refused to follow Zhan Zhao and said loudly, "What's wrong? What the hell? Why are you so nervous?"

Zhan Zhao covered his mouth with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "I'll tell you later, now I'll take you to a place with good wine for fun, I'm treating you!"

Bai Yutang laughed and said: "You stingy cat is usually so poor that you can only eat the meals of the big family in Kaifeng mansion, how did you suddenly become rich on your Zhan family's land? Even your tone has become tough! You forgot you Bai Wuye is a soft-hearted master, so don't expect me to follow your will if you don't make it clear."

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and just about to say something, he heard a person in the shop say, "Whoever is talking outside, don't even look at the place, just pretend to be a gentleman." His voice was delicate and crisp, as if freshly peeled lotus pods, raw tender lotus root .

Zhan Zhao turned pale, looked at the innocent Bai Yutang with a wry smile, and said in a low voice, "This time you've stabbed a hornet's nest, why didn't you listen to what I told you on the way here? Stop talking nonsense." This time he really lowered his voice, because he really didn't want to cause any trouble here.

While speaking, a graceful woman in a floor-length skirt came out.Her figure is not as petite as the women in Jiangnan, she is tall and slender, wearing a pleated skirt that fits very well, she walks gracefully and gracefully, but she is vigorous in her charm, and heroic in her gentleness.Bai Yutang stole a peep to see that this woman was older, tall and fair, with a long oval face, with light pockmarks, and a pair of phoenix sleepers with flowing light and high spirits.

Bai Yutang felt that this woman looked familiar, but he couldn't tell.

When Zhan Zhao saw her, his expression became respectful, he bent slightly, and called softly, "Auntie."

Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat, no wonder he felt familiar, the woman's phoenix eyes clearly had a bit of Zhan Zhao's shadow when they flowed.

Seeing Zhan Zhao, a smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face, and a blush appeared on her slightly fair face, which made people forget the other party's age.The woman stepped forward and gently touched Zhan Zhao's hairline face, and said softly, "I haven't seen you for another year, it seems that you have grown taller again, and you are thinner than last year..."

Zhan Zhao was caressed by her, didn't move at all, just smiled and said nothing, Bai Yutang wanted to say something again, but Zhan Zhao secretly pinched him, so he had to bear it back.

After a while, the woman returned to her original state, and said: "I came back early this year, if you are not in a hurry to go home, you can come and sit with me." After she finished speaking, she even bent down and sat in the soft sedan chair. Without looking at Bai Yutang, it wasn't until the soft sedan slowly walked away that Bai Yutang let out a long breath and asked in a low voice, "Who is that, it's such a big air."

Zhan Zhao looked at the direction in which the soft sedan was going away, and said, "Didn't you hear me calling her aunt?"

Bai Yutang thought about it, and said, "Is it my aunt?"

Zhan Zhao gave a silent "Mmm", but couldn't help but sigh softly, Bai Yutang said, "She said she asked you to go to her house, do you want to go?"

Zhan Zhao said, "I have nowhere else to go except her house."

Bai Yutang didn't understand, and asked, "Why?"

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, but there was some bitterness in his expression. Bai Yutang finally noticed the strangeness in Zhan Zhao's expression and wanted to ask, but Zhan Zhao raised his hand to stop him, and said softly, "Let's talk about it later."

Bai Yutang muttered in dissatisfaction: "I'll talk about it later." Dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, and he knew that if Zhan Zhao didn't want to say it, he couldn't force it.
