Jianghu Tired Brigade

"I saw a flash of the knife, and a human head flew out. The headless corpse ran four steps in a row before falling to the ground. The power of the sharp knife made the thieves terrified."

Inside the restaurant, the storyteller was spitting, and the audience stretched their necks, their faces flushed, as if they had also seen the scene of a sharp knife flashing by, invincible.

The rattling of horseshoes stopped at the door, and after a while, they gradually moved away.

The waiter who received the guests at the door walked in first, nodding and bowing as a gesture of invitation.This mistress has been in the store for too many years, and has already cultivated a pair of snobbish eyes who dislike the poor and love the rich. With such a style, I think I have met some wealthy people again.

This is not a rare thing, people are still watching the storyteller on the stage, obviously the development of the story is more attractive.

The first person who came in was a woman, dressed in a long emerald green gauze dress, with a long and tall body, and the gentle smile on her face made one feel like a spring breeze.The hairpin she wears is emerald green, carved with a lifelike gesture of a butterfly dancing lightly, and there are silver inlaid pendants hanging on her ears. It seems that she is indeed a graceful and luxurious woman from a rich family.

Behind her was a younger girl, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, although she looked a bit enchanting, she didn't have the slightest pompous expression, instead she had a serious face.Only when he caught a glimpse of the woman in front of him did he reveal a trace of tenderness and intimacy.

These two people are Hong Xiao and Acacia who have been running all the way.

As soon as Hong Xiao entered the door, he attracted the attention of the storyteller. The storyteller was a thin old man in his 50s and [-]s, and he was spitting on the crude wooden platform.A fan is opened and closed in his hand, sometimes pretending to be a handsome young man shaking the folding fan, and sometimes turning into a rough bandit holding a "knife" and stabbing.

She called Xiaoer to stop, ordered two upper rooms, simply moved a stool, and sat down with Xiangsi to watch.

In this rural small town tavern, most of the people who usually come and go are businessmen on foot, there are also some loafing rogues, or wandering people from the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to see such a beautiful woman with good looks.The little old man's heart was also filled with enthusiasm, and he naturally worked harder when performing.

This story is about a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for an exam. On the way, he was robbed by bandits. When he had nowhere to go, he met a hero who was famous all over the world. For brothers with different surnames.

When the little old man described the scene of the fight, he danced with his hands and feet, as if he was really in it. Sometimes it was the knight wielding his long sword, and sometimes the bandit used his hands and feet. With the hand on the ground, drag the body to slide.He shouted in a panic: "I'm going, I'm going, I beg the hero to spare my life."

His expression was very realistic, as if he had really turned into a little bandit frightened by the might of a hero.The appearance was very funny, making the spectators below laugh again and again.

The story ends with the little old man playing two roles and burning incense to make a vow.A handsome boy held a bamboo basket and asked for rewards from the spectators one by one.Many people got up and left, only a few people remained in the hall.

When the boy lifted the bamboo basket to Hong Xiao with both hands, there were only a few copper coins in it.Hong Xiao took out a piece of broken silver the size of a knuckle from his bosom, and asked the little boy, "What's your name? Who is that storyteller?"

The boy was introverted and shy, buried his whole face on the bamboo basket, secretly looked at Hong Xiao's expression through the gap of the bamboo basket, and timidly said: "My name is Gouwa, and the storyteller is my grandpa."

Children in the country, in order to raise them easily, often call them some "cheap names" that don't sound good. Hong Xiao just asked casually. Since the child answered, it is natural to redeem the promise. Hong Xiao grabbed his palm, Put the broken silver into it, and said with a smile: "Your grandfather's words are really wonderful, and I will be as good as him in the future."

The child said proudly: "That's natural, I will become a better storyteller than grandpa in the future." As he spoke, he kept peeking at the broken silver in his palm.

Hong Xiao took his palm and wrapped the silver in the child's small palm, as if making a fist, and said with a smile: "I will definitely, I will support you in the future."

The child collected the money carefully, not daring to put it in the basket, carefully wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and put it in his arms.Looking around, seeing that no one noticed this place, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Hong Xiao's ear: "Sister, don't eat in the room, they will put sweat medicine in your food and steal your food." money."

Hong Xiao also lowered his head, and asked in a low voice, "How do you know? Do they always do this?"

The child nodded solemnly, and said: "If a single guest has no relatives or friends, they will all do the same. To seek wealth and murder, destroy corpses and wipe out traces, grandpa told me."

This is not a rare thing, Hong Xiao has been traveling for many years, what dirty things have not seen?But seeing a lot and getting used to it are not the same thing.With emotion in her heart, she touched the child's head more and more gently, and said, "Thank you, you are a good boy."

The child was a little shy from being praised, and said: "I usually don't tell others. When they know, they will drive grandpa out and prevent him from telling stories here. But sister, you are a good person, so you can't be harmed by bad guys."

Hong Xiao couldn't help laughing, good people and bad people, can it be discussed only by the amount of money tipped?Seeing that the child was young, she was about to persuade her a few more words, but she saw the child startled suddenly, staring at Hong Xiao's back, then shrank her head, and said in a soft and quick voice: "They are here, we I have to go first. Sister, don't mention this matter, go quickly. "

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the bamboo basket and ran to the next guest to ask for money.

Hong Xiao turned her head and saw the little girl from just now coming forward with a smile on her face, and said, "Girl, there is only one room left in our shop, look..."

Xiaoer said half of what he said, the other half was that he hoped that Hong Xiao could still book a room in the upper room, and that Xiangsi lived in a worse room, so the two naturally separated.In his view, Hong Xiao is a rich lady, and Xiangsi is more like her servant girl.

Another room?

Right now, she is not as lucky as Wu Moxuan, who just happened to meet a kind person to move the room.

Hong Xiao frowned, and asked Xiaoer about the situation of the upper rooms, and the second said: "We used to have six upper rooms in our store, and usually there are only one or two rooms at most, and this one is better now." Girl, I reserved three upper rooms, and later a handsome young master brought a little book boy to live in one room, so there is only one room left."

Hong Xiao asked, "Is there another room?"

Xiaoer said: "There is also a merchant who is traveling. We don't know what he sells. He has lived in the store for half a month. He will not check out for a while."

Hong Xiao thanked Xiao Er, and then said to Xiang Si: "I have to wrong you again."

The upper room and the middle room are separated by one floor, now that Hong Xiao has lost all his internal energy, and just after hearing what the child said, Xiangsi will not rest assured that Hong Xiao will stay too far away.Although there are some unspeakable dirty things in this store, Hong Xiao never thought of changing to another place. Firstly, he was really tired. Second, since he already knew the center of this store well, it would be better to take precautions than change to another place without knowing it. The place of love is strong.

Now that he made up his mind, he asked Xiao Er to take the two of them into the room together.

The layout of the upper room is also quiet and elegant, with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which at first glance is quite elegant.

Hong Xiao sized it up and said, "That's it, please prepare some food."

Xiao Er took the order to go, and when he reached the door, he heard a woman's crisp voice shouting: "What kind of black shop are you here? The dishes smell like inferior Mongolian sweat medicine."

Xiao Er respectfully said: "The heroine is joking, our store has always been clean..."

His words stopped abruptly, and then he fell to the ground with a bang. Another woman's voice was a little low and quiet: "Say nonsense to him, just throw it down."

The previous woman said: "I can't be angry, the environment in this store is bad, but there are still such dirty things!"

Another woman said: "Don't complain, go and buy some good food first and come back, after serving the elder sister, let's argue with this small shop."

The previous woman said: "That's right."

The voices of the two disappeared. Presumably, as they said, one girl went to buy food, and the other girl went to serve their "big sister".

Because when Xiaoer went out, he didn't have time to close the door, leaving a gap, and the two happened to be standing at the door of Hong Xiao's room when they were talking, so Hong Xiao and Xiangsi could hear their words clearly Chu.

Hong Xiao said with a smile: "Evil people will be punished by evil people, but this time, we have to go out to eat." She originally thought that the two of them had traveled all the way, but she was really tired, so she slacked off and went out to eat.Even if there are some problems with the food in this restaurant, it is not difficult for the two of them to eat it safely with the ability of lovesickness.Right now the girl next door is also beating someone, and there will be a quarrel after a while, I'm afraid no one has the heart to cook a table for them.

The two packed their luggage properly and went out together.Just as the door was being closed and locked, there were a few soft sounds from the room next door.

The deep woman's voice seemed a little anxious this time: "Master, there's really nothing to do, it's just a coincidence, and I can't find another decent hotel in a radius of ten miles, why don't you just stay here for two days, We went our separate ways with him afterwards."

The voice gradually approached, and there was another bang, the door of the guest room was opened heavily, and an elegant girl faced inside, talking continuously.But there was a force inside that pushed her out, she staggered a few steps back, leaned her back against the railing, and barely stopped.

The woman who came out afterward was dressed in white clothes flawlessly, she was as graceful as a fairy, her eyebrows were as sharp as knives, her eyes were as cold as pools, and she was not angry and majestic. Who is it if it is not Jin Mo?
