Chapter 1097
Yibin is located at the mouth of the Minjiang River that flows into the Yangtze River, and it is a necessary place for business travelers to come and go from the south to the north, and it is extremely lively. After the big boat stopped, the boatman instructed two boatmen to go to the shore to buy dry food and pickles, and invited Li Qiufeng and others to eat. Humpty Dumpty glanced at it, shook his head like a rattle, and said, "Captain of the boat, when you see it, you rarely come to these places west of Chongqing Mansion. Yibin is a well-known wine city, come here to eat only these dry food pickles, but not drink a few pots of Yibin wine, wouldn't you enter Baoshan and return empty-handed?"
Humpty Dumpty shook his head as he spoke, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng naturally understood, arched his hand to Humpty Dumpty, and said: "The apprentice has been sitting on this boat all day, and he is very uncomfortable, so he wants to go around the shore and ask the master for permission." ”
Humpty Dumpty hadn't answered, but the old man smiled slightly and said, "If you want to buy wine, just go, are you afraid that we won't laugh at you?"
Li Qiufeng was a little embarrassed and glanced at Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty waved his hand and said, "In front of your Uncle Huang, there is no need to hide it anymore." Go buy me three pots of wine, a fat chicken, and a few steamed buns. You kid made a fortune in the capital, and you should also honor and honor Master and me. ”
Li Qiufeng smiled and arched his hand, and then walked out of the cabin. He said a few words to the boatman and the boatman, who were sitting on the deck for dinner, and then left the ship. There was a long street on the side of the wharf, and Li Qiufeng looked left and right, and slowly walked into the long street.
At this time, it was the time to hold the lights, but there were few people on the long street. Li Qiufeng didn't care at first, but after taking more than ten steps, he suddenly stopped.
On the left side of this long street is the river, and on the right is the houses facing the street, and almost every house has banners and signboards in front of it, and there are restaurants and shops as far as the eye can see. It's just that although the doors and windows of these houses are full of light, the doors are locked, and none of them open the doors.
Yibin is the main road for business travel, and it is naturally a lively place on weekdays. The area around this pier is the traffic center of Yibin, and when the lights are on, it should be a place for pedestrians to rub shoulders and drink and have fun. But at this time, it was pedestrians, and the surroundings were even quieter. This scene is absolutely unusual.
Li Qiufeng stood steadily on the long street, his whole body was like a taut bow, and a pair of eyes roamed around, wanting to take in all the surrounding situations. It's just that although the surroundings are quiet and scary, there are no suspicious characters. He hesitated, and after a moment, he walked forward. It's just that he walks extremely carefully, and with each step, a deep or shallow footprint is left on the hard ground.
After he walked more than 100 steps, there was a street intersection not far ahead. The lights of the houses converged here, and a hazy light appeared in the middle of the street. Li Qiufeng became more and more cautious, walking slower under his feet, but also more steadily.
I was about to walk to the corner of the street, but I saw a small tavern with the door open on the right. Li Qiufeng was stunned, thought for a moment, and then strode into the tavern.
There were only five or six tables in the tavern, and the shopkeeper was standing at the counter, his chin on his right hand, dozing off to himself.
Li Qiufeng entered the tavern and first smelled the aroma of wine. He was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at the situation in the tavern, and then walked to the counter, and tapped his left hand on the countertop. The shopkeeper's body shook, and he suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw Li Qiufeng standing in front of him, he was startled, and stepped back in a panic, with a "bang", and his heart hit the wine rack behind him.
There were six shelves up and down, and four or five jars were placed in each grid. It's just that these jars are only used to attract customers, and they are not filled with alcohol. The wine racks shook violently, and these wine jars were extremely light, and they were crumbling one by one. A jar on the top shelf was placed on the edge, and it shook a few times before falling straight down.
Coincidentally, the shopkeeper's vest hit the wine rack, his head was confused, and he stood still for a while. The wine jar fell from above, facing the head of the shopkeeper. Although the jar was not filled with wine, it was also quite heavy, and if it fell from a height at this time, if it hit the head of the shopkeeper, he would have to smash his brain.
said that it was too late, and it was too fast, and he saw that the wine jar was about to hit the top of the shopkeeper's head. Li Qiufeng propped up his left hand on the counter, his body had already jumped into the counter, and his right hand stretched out, holding the wine jar in the palm of his hand. At this time, the wine jar was less than three inches away from the Tianling cover of the shopkeeper, and it was extremely thrilling.
The shopkeeper's face changed in fright, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, thank you for saving your life......
Li Qiufeng held the wine jar in his right hand and slowly took it back from the top of the shopkeeper's head. He looked at the shopkeeper, smiled slightly, and said, "What a life-saving grace." With Your Excellency's martial arts, even if a vat smashes on the top of your head, I'm afraid it will be like a piece of cotton, and it won't hurt you at all. ”
The shopkeeper's face changed, and his originally stiff body instantly stood straight. He originally had a flattering face, but now he also became extremely gloomy. I saw him staring at Li Qiufeng, and said with a sad smile: "I originally wanted to catch a big fish, but a small shrimp came." You thief is clever, in order not to show his flaws, grandpa was born in a tavern in the capital for three months as a junior, and you saw through your identity. Who the hell are you, tell Grandpa. ”
Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "You really look like a shopkeeper." Although I thought this tavern was a little strange at first, I didn't even suspect your identity when I entered the house and saw Your Excellency. It's just a pity that you pretended to be panicked and took a few steps back, and you can't even say that you are pretending to be a shopkeeper, you can only say that you are really a shopkeeper. It's just a pity that you're pretending to be too realistic, and when I jumped into the counter to save you, you were cowering and hiding under the wine rack. If it weren't for his martial arts, how would he know that there was a wine jar falling from his head?"
The man who pretended to be the second boy in the shop deliberately made a look of sudden realization, and laughed sharply: "Monkey cub, you really have you, you are so careful, it doesn't seem to be a chick! ”
After he finished speaking, he looked up and down at the strong autumn wind, shook his head, showed a little disappointment on his face, and said, "You are not him." He's an old man, but you're a little cub. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Li Qiufeng said: "Your Excellency is the disciple of which father-in-law of Dongchang, let's listen to it." “
The man's heart was shocked, his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "How do you know that we are from Dongchang?!"
Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "I have been to this Yibin several times many years ago, and the area around the pier is very lively. But when I came back here today, it was so quiet, isn't it strange? I just walked here from the entrance of the street, and there were more than a dozen taverns, tea shops, and silk rice shops along the way, although the lights were lit inside, but there were locks hanging on the doors, and it was obvious that I was walking in a hurry. Only the government can have such a force to close the houses and shops of the entire street. It's just that it hasn't reached curfew yet, and I haven't heard of any rebellion in Shuzhong, so Yibin Yamen will not rashly clean the streets. ”
When Li Qiufeng said this, he glanced at the man, and then said: "It wasn't until I caught the jar and realized that you were not an ordinary person, so I took a closer look at Your Excellency. Hehe, although Your Excellency is dressed up and dressed like a shopkeeper, he is white-faced and bearded, and he has advanced martial arts. If you think about being able to clean up the dock like this, your Excellency is clearly a father-in-law!"
Li Qiufeng deliberately said the word "father-in-law" very seriously. When the man heard this, his face became even more ugly, but his face instantly became calm again, and a smile appeared, and he shrieked like a night owl a few times, and said, "It's still a chick!" I was thinking about how to force you to tell the truth, but your words omitted your identity and origin. Tell me, where is your master now?"
Li Qiufeng pretended to be surprised and said, "Father-in-law, I don't understand what you said. What master do I have?"
The man sneered and said, "Just now you showed your hand, and your kung fu is very handsome." We thought you were a character in the rivers and lakes, and you fell into the big net we laid by mistake, and you still have the mind to envelop you. But you actually recognized that we are from Dongchang, and naturally we are also official figures. is in the officialdom, and his martial arts are so good, and he is in Shuzhong, if he is not that person's servant, who will it be?!"
When he said this, he slapped the counter with his right hand and shouted, "Say it quickly!"
