Weird show

The gate of the garden was deserted, with only two bright lanterns burning, but just as Ji and Qin walked out of the gate, a naive "wait a minute" came from behind them, and when they turned around, they saw the dark little boy kicking his hand. Dengdeng ran up to them.

The little boy raised his head and asked with an old-fashioned look: "The two young heroes of Chisumen, have we formed a relationship between our Unyielding Gang and yours, and can we still unravel it?"

Qin Songfeng couldn't think of what words to answer him for a moment.

The little boy said: "You may not believe me, but I am also number one in the Unyielding Gang. Everyone calls me Tie Dan."

His face was dark and round, really like an iron egg, Qin Songfeng didn't say anything, but Ji Shuliu couldn't help showing a smile.

Tie Dan was staring at Ji Shuliu at first, and seeing his smile, he seemed relieved, and said solemnly: "The Unyielding Gang you saw today looks like Uncle Zhang, but in fact there are many different members of the Unyielding Gang. Look, I am also one of them. In order to restore the reputation of the Unyielding Gang, I would like to invite you to dinner as a landlord, is it okay?"

Qin Songfeng asked: "Where to eat?"

"I don't have any money for the time being. This month's pocket money is all used to buy Uncle Zhang's birthday present." Tie Dan reached into his arms and took out a few copper coins. How about it, are you willing to give me this face?"

After a cup of tea, two adults and a child sat down at a small open-air stall on the side of the street to have dinner. Tie Dan insisted on entertaining guests, but he refused to use the reputation of the Unyielding Gang to pay on credit, and bought the cheapest things ——Right now, he is curling up one leg and stepping on the stool in a quack manner, pinching a thick-faced steamed bun with his left hand, and eating pickles and gruel.

"Second Sect Master Qin, you are really powerful. You are worthy of being one of the best masters in the Jianghu." He chewed on a steamed bun and said, "Uncle Zhang's martial arts are not bad, but if you cheat on him, it's like when I was seven or eight years old. Just like me."

Qin Songfeng also held a steamed bun and gnawed it slowly. Hearing this, he explained: "It's not difficult to put it bluntly. A person has great strength when he is drunk, but his head accuracy is poor, and he is easy to stand unsteadily."

Tie Dan nodded, freed his right hand to give a thumbs up, then stopped talking and stared at Ji Shuliu intently.

Ji Shuliu eats much more elegantly. He broke the steamed buns and put them on the plate in front of him. He drank a spoonful of porridge, ate a piece of steamed buns, and took a small bite of pickles. He chewed slowly. Scoop out the spoon in advance to dry to prevent overheating.

Tie Dan stared at him for a long while while gnawing on the steamed buns, leaned over to the edge of the bowl to drink a big mouthful of porridge, swallowed all the dregs of the steamed buns in his mouth, and finally said: "Brother Ji, I have also heard your name in Jianghu."

Ji Shuliu asked: "How is my reputation?"

Tie Dan said seriously: "They all said that you are a strange person, like a rich... son... Hey, I'm telling the truth, don't be angry, in fact, they said, you are like a rich daughter. I didn't expect you to be able to Eat what we poor people eat."

Ji Shuliu smiled slightly: "Why, do you think I look like a poor daughter now?"

Tie Dan was amused by these words for some reason, and laughed so hard that he even burst into tears: "Brother Ji, you are not a weirdo, you are a man of God, and it is true that I made friends with you! There used to be a man who looked like a scribe who read " I cried after watching "The Story of Rebellious Son", but that person has a very lonely temper, he treats me like a child and refuses to make friends with me."

Ji Shuliu said: "Apart from "The Story of Ni Zi" and "The Story of Ni Servant", has this 'Where Man' from Guizhen written anything else?"

Tie Dan was quite regretful: "It's gone." His eyes lit up again in an instant, "But "The Legend of the Servant" came out at the end of the year before last, and "The Story of the Son" came out at the beginning of this year, which means that this Mr. He just made his debut. There will be more masterpieces in the future.”

Ji Shuliu nodded: "It's very convenient for Chisumen to send messages. If he has a masterpiece, how about sending me a message?"

Although this sentence comes from the heart, it is not without temptation.Tie Dan probably didn't hear it, his eyebrows were knit together, and he hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "But the ants of Chisumen can't get along with our Unyielding Gang, and I am also a good member of the Unyielding Gang. The boss is ashamed."

Ji Shuliu saw that although the child was full of quackery, he was still naive in his heart, so he felt a little apologetic, and said, "You can go to the Chisu Gate in Taohua Town to the south, I remember that it belongs to a deceased brother in the gate." The widow takes care of her, she never gets involved in Jianghu affairs."

Tie Dan said: "That's right! That's the deal." He happily took a big mouthful of steamed buns and a big mouthful of pickles, picked up the bowl and drank the porridge upside down, "By the way, that sister who is acting is also very good, To be able to fall straight and straight, I have tried many times in front of a big mirror, and every time I fell, I fell in a mess."

Ji Shuliu had a problem with being a teacher, so he hurriedly told him: "That movement is a bit dangerous, and it may knock the back of your head. If you have no one to protect you, don't practice it by yourself."

Tie Dan was curious: "Have you practiced that trick too?"

"I have practiced," Ji Shuliu said, "but when I was practicing, there were four people watching around me, and twenty layers of thick quilts were spread on the floor."

"Twenty layers!" Tie Dan was stunned. "Ah, I understand. After you finish practicing, you can cut the quilt layer by layer, and finally pour it directly on the ground, right?"

"It was supposed to be like this, but I didn't take off the quilt until the end." Ji Shuliu blinked, "Because they were afraid of hurting me from falling, who made me a poor daughter?"

Tie Dan laughed wildly, and Qin Songfeng took the opportunity to whisper: "Ji Qianjin, if someone asks who you are in the future, I won't say you are my junior brother—I will say you are my junior sister."

Ji Shuliu stepped on Qin Songfeng's foot lightly under the table, and then he and Xiao Tiedan talked about the actress' kung fu, and then discussed many details in the two plays, and they ate a meal for more than an hour.It was already dark, and Tiedan finally ate and drank enough. He patted his chest with satisfaction and said, "Brother Ji, you will be my friend of Tie Dan from now on. My name is Lu Tie, and my father is the leader of the Unyielding Gang. Don't worry , even if Uncle Zhang prevents you from seeing my father, I will help you persuade him!"

Ji Shuliu stood up and patted Tie Dan on the shoulder: "Okay, I still owe you a meal, please come back in a few days."

The two sent Tie Dan back to the gate of the garden, and walked towards the town side by side.

While there was no one around, Qin Songfeng whispered in Ji Shuliu's ear: "There are rumors in the world that the child's mother is a girl from a brothel. She fell in love with Lu Fengchun and accidentally conceived the child. The alley was oppressive, and he didn't have the time to take care of the girl's business. The madam forced the girl to have an abortion, but the girl refused. She couldn't stand the beating, so she fled to Lu Fengchun's side with a big belly. She was injured and frightened, and gave birth to Lu Fengchun. Tie died of illness within a few days. As soon as Lu Fengchun gained power, he killed the madam, and he felt guilty, so he hasn't married a wife for all these years."

"Lu Fengchun is really so affectionate?" Ji Shuliu was a little skeptical, "It doesn't mean that he has been prostitution and gambling all the time, and his son is jealous and fighting with others in the brothel before his [-]th day."

Qin Songfeng said: "Some people are like this. I also know a buddy who cried to death after his wife died. After a few days, he ran into the yard to prostitute for several months. Every night he was 'doing business' while crying. He called his wife by his nickname, and later the girls in the whole county disliked him and cried until his nose was covered with snot, and refused to receive any more guests."

Ji Shuliu gagged: "Stop! I just finished eating!"

People in the rivers and lakes have irregular work and rest, and there are many night owls, so in the first half of the night in Hero Town, the sound of wine glasses clashing, silk and bamboo playing music, hulu and pheasants are constantly being heard, and warm yellow lights shine through a small half of the windows.

The cloth shop opened by Chisumen Anthong is located on the busiest street in Hero Town.

Chisu Sect has always supported overseas disciples in doing business. The master in charge of business affairs, that is, Qin Songfeng's cousin Qin Songming, arranges people from Nanjing to deliver some fashionable fabrics and ready-made clothes to Anfeng from time to time to help him do better business.

Ants did not disappoint Qin Songming's expectations.This cloth shop is richly decorated, and the signboard is hung high, and the business is booming at first sight.The shop is divided into three rooms. In the middle one, all kinds of cloth are neatly arranged from coarse to fine for people to choose at will; in the left one, there is a small amount of expensive cloth, and the silk and satin are shining; in the right one, there are many ordinary ready-made clothes outside. , and a small room is separated by a screen, which sells exquisite clothes transported all the way from Nanjing and fur coats and hats produced in Liaodong.In short, gorgeous, simple and elegant, fashionable and dignified, everything is available.

At this time, the news of Ji and Qin's arrival has been spread on Hero Zhenjiang Lake, and Ant is waiting for them in the store.

Ant is a sturdy middle-aged man, brightly dressed, with raised eyebrows, nose bridge is very flat, but the tip of the nose is unusually raised, his face is raised slightly while walking, his face has both the toughness of a quack and the shrewdness of a businessman.When he saw Qin Songfeng, he laughed and held hands: "Second sect master, I finally welcome you!" He pretended not to know that Qin Songfeng went to Lu Fengchun first.

Qin Songfeng also shook his hand and said, "Senior Brother Ma! I haven't seen you for several years."

The ant looked at Ji Shuliu hesitantly: "This Mr. Ji...Mr. Ji?"

Qin Songfeng waved his hand: "Brothers from the same sect, don't call yourself such a stranger." Ji Shuliu cupped his fists and called "Senior Brother Ma", and the ant also called "Junior Brother Ji".

The ant called the apprentices he had accepted outside to visit the second sect master and uncle Ji.This young man is not very talkative, but his skills seem to be very vigorous. Qin Songfeng smiled and said: "Senior brother Ma, although you have put in a lot of kung fu, this apprentice is really good at teaching!"

The Ant Bee is already in his twenties, and he is still very young. Hearing this, he scratched his head embarrassingly.

Qin Songfeng encouraged him a few words, took out a huge cloth bag from the package that was stored elsewhere before and opened it, "I brought this myself, this is what my cousin asked me to bring to you, this is..."

After reporting the origin of all the gifts, they were led by ants and moved into a quiet courtyard in the town.Ant made a lot of money, bought this place a few years ago and carefully repaired it, specially for the brothers of Chisumen who passed by to live temporarily.

Ji and Qin entered the house, but Ant suddenly escaped with an excuse.

He had just stepped out of the threshold when a few maidservants stepped into the house gracefully like flowing clouds to clean up.Because they have to work, they are all wearing coarse clothes, but the makeup on their faces is more delicate than the other, and there is a fragrance in their movements. In this small town, they can be regarded as relatively outstanding beauties.

Several other men brought two large wooden buckets, went to the back kitchen to boil water, and kept pouring hot water into the buckets, making the two bedrooms on the left and right steamy.

The most juicy one among the beauties came to Qin Songfeng's side by wiping the stool, and said with a charming smile: "Let our sisters stay here and take care of them, do laundry, mend, make quilts and make beds, and follow the orders of the two of you."

At the same time, a petite woman brought a large tray, and put many washed cups and plates on the table one by one, and while they were arranging, Bai Shengsheng's little hand suppressed Ji Shuliu's hand that was casually resting on the corner of the table, Ji Shuliu glanced at her sideways, she raised her head so that Ji Shuliu could see her face clearly, then she lowered her eyelids and her cheeks were slightly red.
