Chapter 25
Wan Jinbao, who has only turned twelve, wants to say that he is still a child, but the scalper who will turn fourteen is not a teenager, how can he know the shame of this twenty-eight girl, so the scalper stared at Gongsun Zhengdao: "Senior brother laughs very much, is it trying to attract thieves so loudly?" ”
"Huh! I don't laugh anymore! Hey! Ahem! Gongsun was busy covering up and almost choked.
But when the scalper looked at him like this, his heart moved, and he patted Wan Jinbao and said, "Go and call your sister back." ”
After Wan Jinbao went, the scalper said to Gongsun Zheng: "Come on...... This ten thousand ladies are beads, but the senior brother threw them to attract me? ”
Gongsun Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was surprised: "So you guessed?" Precisely! ”
The scalper thought for a while, and then said, "And the senior brother has also been taking care of the ship?" ”
"Not bad!" Gongsun Zheng nodded, his eyes brighter.
The scalper scratched his head, sat down by the fire and said, "Thinking about it, Senior Brother Shicai is late, but it is clear that Senior Brother is staying in Huangzhou to take care of me, right?" ”
Gongsun Zheng nodded and said: "Before May, your master found Erxian Mountain and had a discussion with a certain master for a day and a night, and then the master asked him to come to Huangzhou to take care of his junior brother. ”
"Yes!" The scalper nodded, his heart was hot and moved, and he reasoned: "It must be that the senior brother knows that the junior brother is involved with the Wan family and the Huang Huadang Langlizi, so he went to investigate." After learning that Yu Ba'er and others had kidnapped her sister and brother again, they took Wan Niangzi's pearl hairpin to lure me in, although the reason is a little unreasonable, but the thing is right, right? ”
Gongsun Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he smiled: "Not bad! A few days ago, you saved Wan Xiaoniang but the senior brother didn't know, and then I learned that I asked a friend in the green forest to help inquire, who knew that this morning I found the old seven flying fish Du Zhong in Huanghuadang bought a traitor to tie up the sisters and brothers of the Wan family, so I followed and took a look. As for the pearl hairpin, it was Tao Er, who was doing the internal response, who came out of Wan Xiaoniang's room, and a certain one came over. ”
After a pause, Gongsun Zheng continued: "Subsequently, I saw Yu Ba'er hiding the Wanjia sisters and brothers in the ox cart, but discussed with his accomplices that he wanted to leave the city in the afternoon. ”
"This is the last one!" Gongsun Zheng quietly glanced behind the scalper with his eyes, and said with a smile: "The reason why I use beads to lure you is to see if my junior brother and this lady of the ten thousand families have any fate!" ”
"Ahh The scalper was stunned, but he didn't know why, so he asked: "How do you call it fate?" ”
Gongsun Zheng didn't want to think about it, and quickly replied: "Senior brother, I don't know, a certain once visited Wanfu at night, but asked a certain to hear Miss Nawan talking with a pearl hairpin, what kind of hairpin hairpin is she talking about, she almost used you to stab the benefactor, and I don't know what the benefactor is doing now, but he still recognizes you and doesn't recognize it...... So he tried the pearl hairpin to the junior brother, and saw if the junior brother recognized it. ”
The scalper was immediately stunned, and then he heard the sound of stomping his feet from behind the sunned clothes, and Wan Jinbao shouted: "Fourth sister, why are you running?" ”
After Wan Jinbao said something bad, he persuaded the fourth sister to come back, but found that the faces of Wan Chunnu and the scalper were as red as roasted river crabs.
After sitting down, only to hear the muttering in his belly, Wan Jinbao said: "Fourth sister, I'm hungry." ”
The fourth sister's face was as red as a flower, but she ignored it, but the scalper also touched her stomach and smiled bitterly: "I'm also hungry, why don't you wait for me to look for it and see what I can eat." ”
"Ahem! No, Senior Brother has some dry food here, but he can use it. Gongsun Zheng untied the Zhaowen bag under his waist, and took out two lotus leaf bags of large and small sizes, four cooking cakes and buns in the big bag, but in the small bag was a small half catty of mutton and haggis.
When the scalper saw it, he took it with a smile: "Senior brother's recruitment bag is like a treasure bag, but I don't know what else there is?" ”
Gongsun Zheng flipped through his pockets with a smile and said with a smile: "It's really gone this time!" ”
The scalper looked at the cooking cakes and mutton haggis in his hand, and then looked at the fire burning in the earthen stove, so he patted his head and said: "Cold meat and cold cooking cakes are not very delicious, wait for me to clean it up, can my senior brother have a knife?" ”
Immediately, Gongsun Zheng took off the Songwen sword on his back, pulled out the hilt of the sword, and took out a small blade, and the ox took a small blade and cut four bamboo branches and skewered the cooking cakes for the three of them to bake on the fire, and borrowed the sword to find the bamboo forest and cut a few bamboo tubes, broke one of the sections and made a pot on the fire, put the mutton and haggis in it and stir-fried, and the rest of the sections were taken to the river to draw water, and came back and boiled by the fire.
After a while, the cooking cake was baked brown on both sides, and the mutton and haggis were also fried in the bamboo pot until fragrant, and the scalper broke the cake with a small blade, and sandwiched the mutton and haggis in the cake and divided it with the three people: "This is the secret of my old Huang family...... Steamed meat! ”
Wan Jinbao was the most eager, opened his mouth and took a bite to eat a mouth full of oil, and said continuously: "It's so fragrant!" It's so crispy! Delicious! ”
Wan Chunnu was still a little reserved, so he took a small bite, but only bit the cooking cake, and did not bite the meat, but also clicked and ate sweetly. And Gongsun Zheng was not polite, he took a big bite and tasted it, so he said vaguely while eating: "This way of eating is not unusual, when a certain was under the command of the old breed minister in the northwest, the head of the army also had this practice, but he did not bake the cakes and meat, which was not as crispy and delicious as the junior brother." ”
The scalper took a big bite and said with a smile: "So! The method of baking cakes and meat is the secret of my old Huang family. ”
The cooking cake was only the size of an adult's palm, and everyone naturally ate it in a few bites, but Wan Chunnu was worried that his younger brother would not be full, so he only ate half of it and gave the rest to Wan Jinbao. Seeing that everyone had eaten clean, the scalper took the boiling water bamboo tube and distributed it to everyone, and after sorting out his emotions, he asked Gongsun Zheng: "Senior brother, I heard you say that you are familiar with the people in the green forest road, but I don't know the beginning and end of the matter of this ten thousand families, and what is the inside story of this yellow flower swing against ten thousand families." ”
Gongsun Zheng glanced at the Wanjia sisters and brothers, thought for a while, and said: "The inside story is simple, but I'm afraid of ......."
The scalper saw Gongsun Zheng's eyes looking at the Wanjia sisters and brothers, and guessed a little, so he said: "Senior brother, it doesn't matter, the lady of the Wanjia family and the little brother Wan called me to look at it, and they are also reasonable people." ”
Gongsun Zheng said bluntly: "Let's talk about Master Wan first, he is a good person on the surface, but he is bad in secret. His housekeeper Wan Fu was formerly known as Wang Guinian, and he was nicknamed Zhen Sanjiang, because he had a Luo pot on his back, and was also jokingly called Zhen Sanjiang Wang Turtle Year by the people on the green forest road, the turtle's turtle, was a giant thief and bandit walking on the river in the early twenty years, but he didn't know how to be accepted by Master Wan as a housekeeper. ”
Gongsun Zheng picked up the bamboo tube and drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued: "After that, the dispute between Wanjia and Huanghuadang is not complicated. This Wuzhou Island goes down twenty miles is the scattered flower island, this scattered flower island is the place where Sun Quan's labor army is burned when the red cliff is burned, there is a Ce Lake to the north, it is rumored that it is also the place where Sun Ce trained the troops in the Three Kingdoms, the lake is wide, the southeast is connected to the Chilong Lake, the southwest is connected to the Qinglong Lake, there are more than 200 miles in the vertical and horizontal, the waterway in the lake extends in all directions, and the coastal tidal flats are full of reeds, water canopies, and yellow artemisia, so the local people are also called Huanghuadang. There are more than ten shares of Langlizi in it to form seven water villages, fishing on weekdays, and looking for opportunities to pretend to be bandits to rob passenger boats on the river. ”
