Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 27 Playing with Niu Er

In the morning, Yang Shucheng said goodbye to his uncle and his family, carrying a parcel and a sword. Uncle Yang told him to be careful along the way, and if he got home, ask someone to bring a letter saying he was safe. Yang Shuchengdu agreed and raised his hands to bid farewell to his uncle.

Yang Shucheng rode a donkey and left his uncle's house. He was not in a hurry to leave the city and just wandered around the city. At noon, we had dinner at a small restaurant and walked around a few times outside the city. Went into town again in the evening and had dinner in a hotel.

Seeing that the sky was turning dark, he rode his donkey and walked slowly to Niubi Lane and arrived in front of Niu Er's house. Niu Er was not at home. Yang Shucheng looked around and saw that no one was around. He opened the door and walked in, tying the donkey. Under the tree, he walked into the main room and sat down, waiting for Niu Er to return home.

It was midnight, Niu Er came back, opened the courtyard door and walked in. He was so drunk that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he walked straight into the main room.

The moonlight shone into the house. Niu Er raised his eyes and saw Yang Shucheng sitting at home. He woke up from the alcohol and was stunned for a long time. Then he knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and said:

"Hero, I've been looking forward to your coming every day. Why didn't you tell me when you came? Now that all the restaurants in the city are closed, where can I invite you to drink?"

Yang Shucheng stood up and said with a cold face: "I just came to tell you that you will leave Luoyang City tomorrow and cannot come back to the city. If I see you in the city, I will definitely not spare you."

Niu Er asked in astonishment: "Why?"

Yang Shucheng said, "You don't need to know this." He walked out.

Niu Er said: "Hero, you are afraid that I will go to Luo Suo's Yang family again. Don't worry, ever since I found out that you are Yang Yan's brother, I have given up and will never go there again."

Yang Shucheng turned around, stared at Niu Er's face that was red from drinking, and said word by word: "I'll say it again, you will leave the city after dawn, and I will not be polite if you meet me again."

After that, he strode away.

When Niu Er saw Yang Shucheng leaving, he went back to the house. He was drunk, so he walked into the back room, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

He didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning. It wasn't until noon that he slowly came to a restaurant. Seeing him coming, the manager of the restaurant didn't dare to offend him. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Niu Er said: "Go and invite these people." Come. I have something to discuss."

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked a boy to invite these people. After a while, four or five people came. These were all gangsters who were with Niu Er. The shopkeeper thought to himself, who are these people planning to harm when they get together? Which one is going to be unlucky! I didn't dare to ask any more questions, I just waited carefully.

Five or six people gathered around the table, and soon the food and drinks were served. The group began to eat and drink. Although Niu Er had two broken fingers, his fierceness was still there, and these four or five ruffians still regarded him as their leader.

Although Niu Er's right hand is missing two fingers, it does not affect his eating and drinking. None of the group had eaten breakfast. Now they were eating large pieces of meat and drinking from large bowls. It was very lively.

Halfway through the drink, a local ruffian asked: "I wonder if we can discuss anything with you when we are invited here?"

Niu Er said: "I see that the man named Yang is carrying a package and riding a donkey. He must be going back to his hometown. Our chance for revenge has come. This time, we will burn down his shop named Yang. You If you rob the woman, whoever robs her will get it."

Originally, the Yang Yan that everyone snatched belonged to Niu Er. Now when they heard that Niu Er didn't want it anymore, whoever snatched it would go to whom. This mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, and they immediately became excited and asked what they could do?

Niu Er said: "It's better to wait until after midnight and set him on fire. You can take advantage of the chaos and rob the little beauty and leave."

"Okay." Everyone cheered loudly.

This sound was so good that the hotel manager was so frightened that he hid far away. He just ordered the waiter to serve him attentively and not make any mistakes.

In this room, Niu Er and others were drinking from their bowls. The door slowly opened and a person walked in.

These gangsters were drinking when they suddenly saw someone walking in. They were so frightened that they opened their mouths and were speechless.

The person coming is Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng said to Niu Er: "I told you to leave today. What are you planning here?"

"No, nothing?"

Yang Shucheng's eyes shot straight towards Niu Er like sharp arrows.

Niu Er was frightened for a while and said, "I'm leaving the city and saying goodbye to my brothers."

"Didn't you say you were going to burn down the Yang family's shop and steal my girl?" Yang Shucheng took a step forward and said coldly.

Niu Er stretched out his right hand with two fingers missing, waved his hand and said, "I didn't say it, I didn't say it..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of cold light, and two more fingers were missing from Niu Er's right hand, leaving only a thumb. The two streaks of red blood suddenly appeared.

Yang Shucheng said: "Leave quickly. If I see you, I will no longer be polite." After that, he turned around and left, closing the door.

Only then did Niu Er feel the excruciating pain. He sat down on the ground and screamed.

Niu Er was seriously injured this time and was almost disabled. He could no longer be the leader of this gang of gangsters, so he had to quit the gang and left Luoyang City alone.

After walking out of the city, Niu Er didn't know where he was. He dominated Luoyang City and made ends meet by extorting money and fighting. Once you leave Luoyang City, you really don’t know where to go.

Niu Er tilted his head and thought for a long time. He remembered that there was a rich man in the countryside who was his sworn brother. It was better to go to his village.

Niu Er made up his mind and headed southwest. After walking for half a day, he saw a mountain rising up in the southwest. The mountains were lush with trees and crisscrossed with ravines. It was really a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. His sworn brother was here. .

Niu Er strode to the village, and was followed by the owner of the village. It was already evening, and the owner of the village served wine and food for the sake of the old sworn vows.

While drinking, the owner asked: "Brother, why is your right hand injured?"

Niu Er said: "I met an enemy in the city."

"Who is so bold as to offend my brother?"

Niu Er said: "A wild boy from the country. Let's not mention him. It's just that my brother found a stunning beauty for his eldest brother in the city. You haven't seen it, but if you have, I guarantee that your soul is gone. Brother, I specially Came here to tell you.”

The owner of the village thought to himself that Niu Er must have disabled his right hand because of this beautiful woman. I couldn't agree to this, so he said: "Brother Niu, my wife is very strict. You must not raise your voice. Come on." , come and drink.”

Niu Er hated Yang Shucheng deeply, and said to the village owner: "Brother, are you afraid?"

The owner of the village is now rich and powerful, and he is most afraid that others will look down on him, so he said: "Who is afraid of coming?"

Niu Er said: "If you're not afraid, how about we go to the city tomorrow and take a look at that little beauty, and we can discuss it later?"

The village owner made some money and thought about the beauty and hope all day long, so he said, "You can go and have a look."

The two of them were a little drunk when they suddenly looked up and saw a black figure standing under the light.

The owner of the village was not surprised when he saw the cow, but when he saw the cow for the second time, the wine woke him up with fright, and his face that was originally like red pig blood turned into a face like white paper.

The person coming was none other than Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng took a step forward and shouted: "Niu Er, do you still want to harm others?"

"No, no..." Niu Er had already stood up, too frightened to speak.

Niu Er's right hand was disabled, but his left hand was still pressed on the table. There was a flash of cold light, and two more fingers fell from the left hand pressed on the table.

Niu Er also drank too much and was a little numb. He didn't feel any pain. He was still looking at the two severed fingers on the table as if they were not his.

Yang Shucheng said: "I'll say it again, if you want to harm my uncle's family, I won't spare you." After that, he turned and left.

Niu Er watched Yang Shucheng leave, and then he felt a bone-piercing pain. He fell to the ground, rolled around, and shouted loudly throughout the night sky. Birds flew away in fright and wild dogs barked wildly.

Yang Shucheng did not dare to return to Luoyang City after meeting Niu Er, and there was nothing he could do if he wanted to go back. Yang Shucheng was relieved after doing this and decided to go to Shaanxi first to find He Jinhua.

Riding on a donkey, all the way to the west, I saw the yellow sand everywhere. The disaster was getting more and more serious. The victims were displaced and starved to death all over the fields. Bandits were everywhere. The imperial court sent officers and soldiers to suppress it. There was no grass growing anywhere.

Yang Shucheng came all the way west. Although he met a few thieves, which were pitiful to say, they just wanted to steal Yang Shucheng's clothes, Yang Shucheng felt pitiful and just drove them away.

There was no talk all the way, and soon we crossed the Yellow River and came to the ground in Shaanxi. I saw wasteland everywhere, drought and no rain, cracked fields, not a single crop, and ten houses empty. Even though it was late spring, it still felt desolate.

After walking for four or five days, I saw that it was not far from Huayin, but I couldn't get any news about King Li Chuang.

On this day, while walking in the canyon, I heard shouting in the distance.

Yang Shucheng urged the donkey and ran towards the sound. Standing on the hill, I saw two people fighting around a man and a woman in the canyon.

The middle-aged man was covered in blood, and he was holding a big sword to protect the woman behind him. The woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure. Although she was defeated, her sword skills were messy, but when she danced, she was... It is also like a butterfly or a spring swallow, dancing gracefully.

Yang Shucheng was dumbfounded.
