beg for chivalry

There are thousands of sounds of dawn and drums, and the sky is bright.In a short while, the heat from the steamer was spreading in the forty streets and alleys of Fengyuan City. , fragrant and attractive.Early passers-by throw a few pennies at the stall, and they can take away a big cake, chewing it until it's oily.

Someone stopped in front of the pancake shop, looked at it for a while before saying. "Master, I want some pancakes, but I need some green onions."

The pancake master is a man with a thick beard and a high bridge of nose, pressing on his lips like a giant mountain.He was spinning around beside Pang, so busy that he was so anxious that he waved his hands and said, "Sanwen." His voice seemed to be curled on his tongue several times, and he lost his tune.

The man fumbled into his sleeve and only got a copper coin, then he smiled and said, "Is it worth a penny?"

The pancake master frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever seen a pancake sold in three layers?"

He suddenly felt that this person's voice was familiar, gentle and elegant, like soft silk washed in the Bashui River, it sounded like a spring breeze.Ordinary people only hear it pleasing to the ear, but the pancake master has already screamed in his heart that it is not good.

He looked up and saw a man in white standing in the morning light.A light veil hangs from the side of the bamboo hat, fluttering in the wind, covering his face.This person's figure looks like a woman's softness, but it is as tall and straight as a frosty green pine.There is a knife wrapped around the jade belt around his waist, like a swordsman walking in the rivers and lakes.

There was a green light in Hu Ren's deep eyes, and the eight-foot man was trembling like chaff somehow, his face greener than his eyeballs.

I saw him licking his chapped upper lip, and then slowly sliding his teeth on the lower lip for a week.In this short moment, every strand of his hair, beard, and even his hair stood up solemnly. Thousands of ways to ignore this person passed through his mind like snowflakes. He even smelled the burning of the bread. Fragrant, there was a burning smell from the pen, and his heart was as unbearable as if it was being roasted.

So the barbarian master was silent for a while, and suddenly let out a roar in a hoarse voice: "—Lao Lai is here!"

The cry seemed earth-shattering.In an instant, in the forty streets and alleys of Fengyuan City, those who poked their heads out to chase sheep and pigs, those who touched fish and crabs, the traders who stuffed stones into the bellies of chickens and ducks, and the barbarians with green handkerchiefs at the street corners, all of them heard the news and suddenly moved. Shrink the neck back!Once the bamboo curtains are put down, the tables and chairs are put away, those with doors are closed, and those with windows are closed.

Behind the bamboo curtain flashed a pair of eyes with different expressions.Some are resentful, some are confused, some are used to it, and some just find it new.

During the long silence, someone suddenly asked: "What's the matter?"

Immediately afterwards, there were boos one after another, and the hand stretched out from the dark place tightly covered the questioner's mouth: "Hush down, Lao Lai is here!"

"... What old Lai?"

The heads crowded in the darkness looked at each other. "You are a passer-by, and you don't know the legend of our Fengyuan City. It is said that a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat came here—cough, we don't like rain here, and there is not much water to water the seedlings all year round. For some reason, this person likes to wear a hat .”

Passers-by were puzzled. "It seems that he is a knight-errant who likes to hide his name. Why is he called 'Lao Lai' by all the big brothers?"

The crowd was furious and chattered under their throats: "This man has only one penny with him! He pays on credit every day, and he said he would pay it back at another time, but he never paid it back!" I bought over thirty bowls of butterfly noodles on credit, and each time I bought two steamed rolls..."

Spit stars splash violently in the darkness.Passers-by seemed to be frightened by the big battle, and it took a long time before they whispered: "Then...won't it be enough to get it back?"

"Do you want to? Look at the knife in this man's waist, it can cut people into noodles." Fengyuan people shook their heads. "Hey, we can't afford to offend a gangster like this, so why can't we hide?"

The barbarian master just shouted, and the crowd disappeared in the street, there was no sound, the doors were closed, it was so quiet that one could clearly hear an embroidery needle falling on the ground.

The man in white stood in front of the pancake shop ignorantly, staring at the mottled bamboo curtains in a daze.At his feet were overturned tables and stools, and a few chickens jumped out of the cage door and circled around him, pecking at the crispbread crumbs on the ground.

He glanced at the penny lying in the palm of his hand, only to feel confused.He walked around Fengyuan for more than a month with this penny, but no one wanted to take him for the penny.At first, others would cast strange glances at him, but now they would retreat into the room and hide, but their eyes were staring at him cautiously.

The sun has risen and shone in the distance at the end of the street, and the hundred or so verandahs seemed to be shrouded in golden veils.There is a row of elm trees beside the corridor, and the white elm coins are falling on the ground like snow.

The man in white walked to the east, but saw a potted hill in front of the shop in the distance, and a woman was sitting on a small stool with a bamboo stick in her hand.Wearing a purple shirt with large sleeves, the bun on the back is pointed, and the yellow eyebrows are very thickly painted with toner, like an old peony that has not yet thanked.

When he passed by, the woman opened her mouth and asked. "You—what's your last name?" The voice trembled weakly, as if he was about to lose his soul at any moment.

The man in white murmured in his heart, maybe he had been in Fengyuan for a while, and the woman knew him well.

He thought for a while and said. "... Yujiachen."

Unexpectedly, after hearing his name, the woman's originally stooped back straightened up suddenly, her soft voice that was originally like a gossamer suddenly became thicker, and she yelled loudly. "Well, you Yujiachen, the mangy dog ​​still wants to eat and drink! I will send you to clean your teeth and eat the dirt on your mouth!"

The man in white raised his eyes to look at the signboard of her shop, and then remembered that he had begged for a bowl of dried noodles here ten and a half months ago.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the man in white hugged his head to avoid the bamboo stick poked by the old woman, and his movements were brisk. "Don't look at me as a cash-strapped person right now, but I will pay it back sometime, I will definitely pay it back!"

"I believe you are a beggar! Ergouyou!" The old woman thought that poking him was not enough, so she grabbed dirt and ashes from the ground to slap him.

As soon as it was too late, some heads appeared around the corridor, all of them were from Fengyuan with burning eyes. "Hit!" Someone yelled first, and the clods and stones flew towards the man in white like rain.

After shrinking their heads for more than a month, they finally plucked up the courage to drive them away.So the stones were thrown more and more freely and decisively, as if the evil spirit accumulated in the chest could be cleared away.

The man in white slid towards the wall of the workshop, wherever his footsteps were printed, there was a dense layer of earth and rocks thrown at him the next moment.The swordsman pressed the bamboo hat to avoid it lightly, but he was thinking in his heart: Strange, I said that I will pay the debt at another time, why do I not wait to see you so much?He stayed in the Tianshan Gate for a long time, and since he was a child, he lived a life that had nothing to do with copper stink, and he was very unfamiliar with how to make money.

The walls of the square were not solidly rammed, the loess rustled down, and the man in white climbed a few steps before falling ugly into the ditch, splashing a few dirty water splashes.Seeing him in a state of disarray, everyone laughed loudly, but shouted: "Pay the money!" The old woman cursed in a rough voice: "The women's house does not obey women's ways, has no sense of shame, and does not even accept earthen nests..."

The man in white stuck out his tongue, he only had a penny on him, and he was used to being treated like a woman, so he didn't take it to heart.So he cupped his hands and smiled to the crowd: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely pay off the money."

Hearing his promise, everyone was furious, "Then we have to wait until the year of the monkey?"So the white-clothed man simply dived into the muddy and smelly water bottom. After turning around for more than a month, he could even feel the channel clearly, and then swam along the water.

……

The riverside is the land of rouge and fireworks. At night, the zither sings and the zither sings and chatters happily. Girls often sing and wash dirty clothes in the river, stirring up the crescent moon falling into the water into bright silver pieces.

The man in white took off his hat by the water and smoothed out the tangled threads.A girl wrapped in a green kerchief took a few glances at him, then blushed and threw a few saponin balls.So he bowed to them three times respectfully, and waded into the river to scrub his robe covered with chicken and duck feathers.

He was rubbing the stains on his robe carefully, when a young man holding a wooden basin came over, stared behind him for a long time, and suddenly said, "That's enough, it's clean enough." After rubbing a few layers of grass ash, I felt that it was not enough. I washed it repeatedly, and I looked like a fool to others.

He fished out his white robe from the water and looked carefully at the moon. "Really?"

"Really," said the servant, "it's whiter than the fresh snow of last winter."

He laughed and said, "Then it will be enough to wash it twice."

"Still washing?"

"A person is comfortable only when he is clean." He said confidently.

The boy squatted down, put the wooden basin aside, and murmured. "When clothes are washed, people are unclean."

The man in white tilted his head, he didn't understand.

The boy's eyes seemed to be dancing with distorted fire, he licked his teeth and said. "Sister, how much do you want to buy you for one night?"

Along the riverside, there are people who make a living with dry skin and meat, including happy households patronized by wealthy lords, and private nests that are smeared with paint.Recently, prostitutes/prostitutes like Ai Subai in filial piety, all dressed up like chaste and strong women.This guy is used to stealing fragrance, and seeing a beautiful figure in white clothes in the river tonight, graceful and graceful, with a soft and beautiful figure, he immediately became very angry with her.

The man in white thought for a while, "How much do you think it will cost?"

The boy said: "I'm acquainted with the bustard in the Chunyu Building. If you enjoy serving the master, I will guarantee you to sneak into the Jiaofang Division and be with some Duojin Langs."

"Oh, whoring for nothing." The man in white said thoughtfully. "Do you have any cash?"

The boy's face turns blue and turns red. "I...Grandpa, I can enroll you in the Chunyu Building, so you don't have to worry about your makeup, food and clothing, is that not enough?"

"Infatuated women are most afraid of cheating men." Bai Yi said humanely. "Master, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that you don't. If you have cash, you can do whatever you want with half a tael of silver."

The price was so cheap that even the boy hesitated.But seeing that man's snow-cloth was wet under the moonlight, like a weak willow in the wind, making people feel sorry for him, he thought that even a famous brothel girl could not match this soft and beautiful posture, so he gritted his teeth and took out the money bag.

The man in white smiled and said, "My lord is really refreshing." He finally washed his robe, wrapped it around his body, and jumped ashore dripping wet.Water dripped from the corner of the clothes, leaving a series of deep and shallow marks on the stone steps.

The little servant took courage and reached out to hug him.The man in white also took the opportunity to grope all over his body, until he pinched the boy's chest and sewed a lining bag, which was heavy, and I don't know how many copper coins there were.The boy only said that the beauty was so enthusiastic, and he was confused for a moment, panting.

"Dare to ask the girl's name?"

"Yujiachen." This time the man in white answered neatly, "I remember it, that's the name."

The little servant laughed. "It's just a bit like a man."

The man in white rubbed his chin and said, "I think so too. But names are given by elders, so there is a reason for that."

The little servant held his hand, feeling soft as if boneless, like warm and fragrant soft jade. "Miss Yu, shall we go upstairs to spend the Spring Festival together, or in Tianye...?"

"Let's just go here." The man in white said, "Let your Excellency spend money, and I will feel uneasy."

"How can it be? The red tent sex scene, the embrace of the world has its own style. To tell you the truth, we have prostituted all over the Fengyuan River, but we have never seen a woman as beautiful as a girl. Alas, if the girl thinks it is so refreshing, I will be happy." Ingratiate yourself." Saying that, the boy went to untie his waist belt, his mouth was parched, he was so anxious that he could barely control his fingers.

The man in white had been holding back his laughter before, but now he finally burst out laughing, his shoulders trembling.

"What is the girl laughing at?"

The boy was very puzzled, but the next moment he was hit on the stomach.The strength was not great, but it was enough to make him foam at the mouth and lose consciousness.

Before he passed out, he rolled his eyes and squeezed his voice: "Girl..." Then he spread it on the ground like mud, with both hands still firmly on the webbing.

The man in white held the handle of the knife, and it was he who hit the whore in the stomach just now.He looked at the unconscious boy, closed his eyes and apologized sincerely: "Oh, where is the girl from? Listen to the next sentence of persuasion, it's not good for sex, it's easy to exhaust and weaken the body, it's not good for yourself or others. If you want to establish a world, you must first rectify your heart, follow the way of heaven, and avoid selfish desires..."

He conscientiously recited what his master taught him for a round, and then he put the boy away, straightened his clothes, and plundered the boy's money bag and the copper plates in the inner lining.But he felt sorry for him, so he carefully washed all the dirty clothes in the wooden basin held by the young man, squeezed out the water and put them in the basin, and finally felt that he was being benevolent and righteous.

The man in white counted the money in his hand, drew his knife and carved a letter on the stone slab next to the boy: "Jihai Year Jian Chenyue, two taels of silver will be charged."

He thought for a while, then bowed his head to the north, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Junior Brother."

Then solemnly engrave under that line: "Yujia Chenliu".
