Chapter 26: Fighting in the Ring
"Grandma, please get up!"
Huang Feihong hurriedly helped Grandma Ding up, "Grandma, don't worry, I have decided the affairs of Jinshan, but this matter is very involved, and many people are kept in the dark, so they can't act recklessly." ”
"You are recuperating in my Baozhi Forest, only when you have taken care of your body, can you rest assured that your son Ding Dazhi can rest assured."
"Huh! Huh! Grandma Ding agreed, and tremblingly reached out and took out a wrinkled handkerchief with a musty smell from her arms.
The handkerchief unfolded layer upon layer, and finally revealed three dirty pieces of Long Yanglai.
Grandma Ding fumbled and picked up three pieces of Long Yang and stuffed them into Huang Feihong's big hand, "Master Huang, this is all my net worth, I know, this is far from enough to repay you, but that's all I can give." Your great kindness, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will definitely repay it! ”
Huang Feihong hurriedly stuffed the three pieces of Long Yang back into Grandma Ding's hands, "Grandma, I, Huang Feihong, am helping, how can I ask for your money?" ”
Grandma Ding said eagerly: "Master Huang, do you dislike this lack of money? Or do you hate my old woman for being dirty? ”
"No, no!" Huang Feihong said helplessly: "Grandma, if I can make you feel at ease, then I will accept this money first, and you can live in peace in my Baozhilin now-Asu, clean up the treatment room and let Grandma Ding live for the time being, Aunt Thirteen, you go to the neighbor's house to borrow a few changes of clothes for Grandma to wear." ”
"Yes."
Grandma Ding breathed a sigh of relief and said again and again: "Thank you!" Thank you, Master Huang, thank you, little masters. ”
After Asu helped Grandma Ding away, Huang Feihong looked down at Long Yang in his hand.
Three pieces of Longyang require six days of hard work at the wharf.
And for the Tang comprador in a suit and leather shoes, it is just the money for an afternoon tea.
I really don't know how this Grandma Ding saved it one bite at a time.
Huang Feihong took a breath, clenched the three pieces of Long Yang in his hand, and looked at Lin Shirong and Xu Feng with blazing eyes.
Lin Shirong clasped his fists and said, "Master! Please command! ”
Huang Feihong said in a deep voice: "I wanted to go to the dock in person, but at this juncture, Bao Zhilin can't leave me, and once I go out, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the foreign people of Meliken, and it is likely to startle the snake." ”
"So, this time, let the two of you brothers go to investigate, you two, you must ask me about Ding Dazhi's news."
"Yes!" Lin Shirong and Xu Feng replied in unison.
The two were just about to turn around and leave, when Huang Feihong said again: "Wait-"
"What else does Master command?" Lin Shirong asked.
Huang Feihong walked in front of Lin Shirong, "Shirong, you have an upright temperament and an irritable temper, although your third junior brother A Feng is not as good as you, but he is meticulous, brave and resourceful, when the master took him to the English Governor's Mansion before, it was thanks to him that he was able to get out." Therefore, this time, you have to listen to your third junior brother in everything, and your role is to protect him, understand? ”
Lin Shirong said: "If the master asks me to listen to others, I, Lin Shirong, will definitely not accept it, but I will obey the third junior brother." Master, please rest assured, although I, Lin Shirong, am a rough person, I also know how to make a big deal happen! I have the same heart as the third junior brother, and I will definitely protect him. ”
Xu Feng's heart was hot, and he bowed to Lin Shirong with his fists in his hands, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
Lin Shirong smiled innocently and said in a rough voice: "Family, you're welcome!" ”
Huang Feihong nodded reassuringly, "Go ahead." ”
The two said goodbye to their master and walked out of Bao Zhilin together.
Lin Shirong asked, "Senior Brother Ah Feng, where should we go to investigate the whereabouts of Dazhi Ding?" ”
Xu Feng thought for a while, "Go to the dock and find those two Tang compradors in suits." Those two Tang compradors are the people who set up a bureau for the Malikan foreigners, and the hard laborers who were deceived into going to Jinshan will sign an English contract with the comprador, they should have a contract from three years ago, and we can find Ding Dazhi's information through the contract from three years ago. ”
Lin Shirong slapped his thigh, "Senior Brother Afeng!" I'm on two legs and one head like you, so why can't I think of that? Okay, just do as you say, let's go to the dock to find the comprador first! ”
The two of them walked out of the alley, entered the long street, and went straight to the direction of the dock.
After walking for about 20 minutes, the main road to the pier was blocked by a bustling crowd of onlookers.
"Hey! What's going on up front? Lin Shirong grabbed a passer-by and asked in a rough voice.
The passer-by was just about to have a seizure, and when he turned around and saw that it was Lin Shirong, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Brother Rong-there is a fight in the ring." ”
"Fight in the ring?" Lin Shirong suddenly became interested, "Who is with whom?" ”
"I heard that it is Lei Pengfei, the owner of the Zhongyi Hall Martial Arts Pavilion, and a foreigner who is playing tricks."
Lin Shirong sneered, "Hmph, Zhongyi Hall? Lei Pengfei's old thing, he has always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, bullied a foreign performer, and he has to put on such a big battle! I don't know, I thought Fushan was the best Lei Pengfei! Senior Brother Feng, you wait here first, and I'll go up and teach that old thing a lesson! Let him quickly withdraw from the ring so that we can pass! ”
Saying that, Lin Shirong was about to squeeze into the ring.
Xu Feng hurriedly grabbed Lin Shirong's broad and stocky shoulders, "Senior Brother Shirong! The teacher's life is important, and there should be no extraneous branches. ”
Lin Shirong opened his mouth and sighed helplessly, "Okay, listen to you." However, the front is tightly blocked, and it seems that we will have to wait until the ring is over before we can reach the docks. ”
Xu Feng put his hands in front of him, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, it's still early, let's watch the excitement below." ”
To be honest, he's quite interested in fighting.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the most direct way to resolve the disputes between the rivers and lakes was the duel in the ring, where there was a duel in the ring, it would inevitably attract a large number of besieging people, and the losing side would naturally have no face to stay in the local area, while the winning side would get a lot of praise and sought after.
For martial artists in the past, only by making a name for themselves could they open a museum to accept apprentices, and the more apprentices they accepted, the more they would naturally earn.
After all, not all martial artists can rely on ancestral medical skills to make a living like Huang Feihong.
"Come on, come on, Senior Brother Afeng, the location here is good, let's watch the excitement here."
Lin Shirong almost rudely carved a way out of the onlookers on the third floor and the outer three floors, and couldn't help but pull Xu Feng to stand on the favorable terrain.
Although the surrounding audience was quite dissatisfied, when they saw that it was Lin Shirong, they could only hide their dissatisfaction in their stomachs.
"Offended, offended." Xu Feng apologized again and again.
I have to say that Lin Shirong's choice of this position is really good, and the entire ring can be seen at a glance.
This ring is based on the stage, and when there is a dispute between the rivers and lakes, the stage decoration is removed and temporarily changed to the ring.
The ring is two meters high, the table is ten meters square, and there are two staircase steps on each side for easy going up and down.
Boom!
After three gongs, a figure jumped on the left and right of the ring.
