Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Five The Thousand Swordsman and the Brushless Painter
In Wufeng County, Nanzhuo State, after Zhuan Liuliu overthrew the county magistrate, all the linen materials in the hands of the people were piled up in the county government office. Not only was there no open space in the front yard of the county government office, but even the backyard was piled up like a mountain.
The shops on the street have returned to normal, selling everything. However, there is not much purchasing power in the county, so the shops that should be cool are still cool.
Fang Zhuo didn't leave, but he was also very bored. Sansan followed him every day, and followed him blatantly. It seemed that he had experienced saving people, and Table Six and Six felt a lot more relieved about Fang Zhuo. However, just because the snake had stopped moving, it didn't mean that the snake was no longer moving.
After becoming a vegetarian, Fang Zhuo didn't relax at all about the things he should be on guard against. For example, Sansan actually used clichés intentionally or unintentionally, while Fang Zhuo kept saying "Haha!"
Two days later, Magistrate You's confession and accusations were sent to the capital together with more than a thousand people's pledges. Since there was no magistrate in Wufeng County, military control was implemented, and the military generals stationed in the city were temporarily in charge.
After Fang Zhuan heard the news, he rushed away without even saying goodbye to Pei Erniang. "See ter."
Originally, they wanted to wait for Table Liuliu and the others, thinking that the county would be in chaos without him temporarily. After learning that military control was possible, what were they waiting for? So Yazi flirted with her, and Table Liuliu didn't let Fang Zhuan wait too long, so he continued
Half a kilometer away follows.
It was as usual along the way, Fang Zhuo was busy making food for himself, and the six or six people at the table kept up their weight-loss activities. When did Fang Zhuo stop, the three of them had a chance to make cookies, and they did not eat according to the normal meal time at all.
Let Erqi and Sansan always complain.
What Fang Zhuan wants is this effect. If you don't mess with the three tails, what's the point of the journey?
On the third day after leaving Wufeng County, another county town appeared in the field of vision, Hupan County. The size of the county towns was as expected, one was larger than the other, and Hupan County was obviously much larger.
The county town is also very lively. The most obvious change is that there are more women on the streets. In the past few counties, there seemed to be few young girls, but here it has become a sea of flowers.
Fang Zhuan just looked at it and felt curious. Since ancient times, girls have been kept at home. Why do girls here like the earth and like to go shopping?
After finding an inn, Fang Zhuo turned on the binaural listening mode again, but the place to listen to stories was not in the inn. The people in the inn were all from outside, and there were not many locals. There was a wine shop not far from the inn.
It is the spreading point of many stories.
"Hey, let me tell you, Qiandao Bisheng and Wubi Painter have both arrived in our county recently. They arrived in two days after the three-year appointment."
"Tch! You've never seen them before. Those two people have no features at all. Who told you to brag?!"
"Who said the two of them have no features? Qian Dao's clothes are thick and heavy, and Qian Dao is always with him. You can tell them at a glance. And the painter carries many bamboo boards on his back every day. How can he be called featureless?"
"Hey! Take a look at the two looks you mentioned. There are people imitating them everywhere. Do you know which one is true and which one is false? Besides, there are people even on the roof of Dongyang Pavilion every day.
People who lie and claim that they are here for a duel can be seen every day if they are not blind! Are the two things you mentioned still considered characteristics?"
"Don't make any noise, let me tell you for sure, all four of the Emperor's Heroes are here!"
"Hahahaha! Where are the four more? Yesterday one came one after another, and now there are five Huangxiajia in Hupan County!"
"Hi~~Five people?"
"Yeah, why is there one more person?"
"Hey! We don't know. At that time, we only invited Huang Xiajia, the four great writers of poetry, lyrics, songs, and poems, to come and judge. What is the background of this fifth person?"
"Are you stupid? Four people are here to judge. If each person gets the support of two people, then there is no difference. Of course, there must be a fifth person to judge! Only then can we judge whether it is a pen with a thousand knives.
If you are very good, Wubi Painter is even better."
"It's absolutely true! It makes sense!"
"Don't talk about the ones that are available and those that are not, we have had a feast for our eyes in these two days, look! There are girls on the street, tall and short, fat and thin, black and white, whatever you want.
, who will compete in the duel is none of our business, the scenery on the street is what we are most concerned about. "
"The girls all over the street are here for the thousand-knife pen painters and the no-stroke painters. How can a vain person be accompanied by a lifelong partner?"
"Yes! I agree! These women are so impractical! There are so many people, and those two guys can't put them all in the room!"
"Well, I said, you can just take a look. Do you really want to do something?"
"What a mistake. If you really find this woman on the street, if some elegant and talented man appears in the future, you may abandon your husband and son and rush to pursue her. If so, that would be a great tragedy!"
"That's right! Let's feast our eyes on it!"
Fang Zhuan ordered a bowl of wine and sat aside, waving his folding fan and listening to the gossip here. He instantly learned a lot about Hupan County, but who were these Thousand-knife Painter and Wubi Painter? It sounds like their names all have the character "stroke".
Eighty percent should be Biwen.
When I was digesting what I had heard before, there was a commotion on the street. A man who looked like a beggar ran from a distance, with a wooden stick in his left hand and a broken bowl in his right hand. He raised his hands high and shouted loudly as he ran: "Competition."
It’s about to begin! At the south gate! The contest between Thousand-Dao Pen Master and Wubi Painter has begun! Upstairs at the city gate in the south of the city!”
The beggar shouted that it was a real person, and everyone in the street believed it, and ran to the south of the city. Suddenly, the crowd on the street rushed southward like a tide, while the people in the wine shop who had been talking about it were not moved at all.
"Who organized this beggar? He moved east and south, attracting all the people on the street. What did he want to do?"
"What else can we do? Just walk around and play?"
"Hehe, let me tell you an inside story. Behind these beggars is Dongcheng Yaozi Hutong Casino. They just gamble. Every time the beggars shout, the number of people attracted is an even number or an odd number, more men or more women, and there is a difference between men and women.
Whether the numbers are odd or even, one scam can create more than a dozen gambling methods!"
"This...can you bet like this? That's too casual!"
"Haha, let me tell you, don't gamble. You are bound to lose nine times out of ten. The casino has one or two hundred people 'ambushing' nearby. Looking at the situation on the gaming table, they are getting more and more crowded!"
"This is ridiculous! It's really unreasonable!"
"Haha, you are really confused if you talk to the casino about Qian. The casino would have been closed long ago."
"Hey! Fortunately, we don't gamble, and there is no need to feel sorry for those who like gambling as much as their lives!"
The conversation in the wine shop stopped again. Every time there was a break, the drinks were poured out the fastest. The waiter and the shopkeeper were also experts. Seeing that the conversation was quiet, they started to prepare more drinks to serve.
But this time the waiter didn't get what he wanted. No one asked for a bottle of wine. A guy rushed in from the street. Without saying a word, he grabbed a full bowl of wine on Fang Zhuo's table and drank it.
After finishing, he let out a sigh, "Ah~ it's so cool!"
Seeing this, just when Fang Zhuang was about to point at the visitor and say something, he saw the visitor walking towards the middle of the restaurant, "Everyone, the latest news, it is said that one song can make all the beauty fade, one song can ring thousands of springs, and play music at night.
, we’re here too! We just entered the Stone House Inn by the Lake!"
The wine shop was quiet, very quiet, and it was hard for Fang Zhuo to accuse this man of stealing his wine. Although he had no intention of drinking it, he paid for the bowl of wine.
The waiter ran over with the wine jar in his arms, "Sir, please don't be angry. We have a custom here. Whenever someone breaks shocking news, he will receive a bowl of wine when he enters the door. And if the news is true, it will make the uncle happy."
, and will reward him with another bowl. Uh... I just robbed your wine. If the guest is not willing to bear the responsibility, then it will be borne by our store, and I will refill it for you."
"So, there are still people who are specifically asking for information and sending it here?" Fang Zhuo asked back.
"The guest officer is right. There are indeed a group of people who don't have money to drink but are good at drinking. They run around or stay in one place to get information."
"Haha, when you fill up this bowl of wine, bring it to that person just now. Both bowls of wine will be credited to someone's account." The wine bowl was stuffed into someone's mouth, and it was impossible for Fang Zhuo to use it again, but even if he didn't
Fang Zhuo, who loves cleanliness and hygiene, still wouldn't drink it if someone touched it. There was a fishy smell in this wine, and some people would believe it even if they said it was poisonous.
"Hey! Sir, I'll give you a new bowl later!" The waiter took the empty bowl on the table and found it in front of the person who reported the news before. Without saying anything, he poured a bowl first and then pointed at it.
Fang Zhuan said over there: "That man rewarded you!"
The messenger was very thin, with two pieces of torn linen hanging from his shoulders, and tied around his waist with a thick hemp rope along with his trousers. He picked up the drink in front of him, drank it down again, put it down, and then turned towards the direction.
Zhuo stood with his hands clasped in his fists and saluted, "There is a gentleman enjoying the wine, so we can't let you down. Let me tell you one more news. Walk like a candlelight, sit like a lotus, dance across a thousand miles, dance in the spring and autumn, and sing along with the sunset.
arrive!"
"Hi~ Yes, they are sisters. The evening concerts and songs are here, and the Spring and Autumn Festival without dancing will be here!"
"Hey! This is great! Our little lakeside county is completely lively!"
"The two singing and dancing sisters have arrived. I wonder if the two sisters Xiao Qin will come."
As soon as these abrupt words came out, the wine shop became quiet again. They all looked at the person who broke the news before, "Ahem~ There are still two bowls of wine left. If there is any, I will tell you!"
"Look at how beautiful you are! The four of you must have arrived together, but you are quite greedy. The group of people told you four pieces of news. Do you want to drink four bowls of wine?!"
"That's right! How greedy!"
"Alas~ Alas~~, I'm not greedy, but the news I want to say is not about the two sisters Xiao Qin, there is even more mysterious news! If you don't have wine, I won't tell you even if you kill me!"
When they heard that they could only speak if they had wine, everyone fell silent. They picked up the wine bowl in front of them and took a few sips. The person who broke the news glanced around, but only the wine bowl in front of Fang Zhuo did not move, so he shamelessly joined in again.
Come here, "Master, Ou Bu, Master, if you give me the wine in front of me, I will tell you this news exclusively. I guarantee that you will be amazed and full of praise after hearing it!"
That's about all the news in the wine shop. Fang Zhuo had planned to leave, and he didn't intend to take the wine in front of him, so he pushed towards the person who was inquiring about the news.
Seeing this, the guy who was inquiring about the news immediately held it in front of him with both hands, drank half the bowl in one gulp, and chattered: "Hey~ If there is such a cheerful man like you every day, hey! I will squat every day.
I’d love to be under the bridge too!”
'Under the bridge?' When Fang Zhuo heard this word, he suddenly thought of the inn he stayed in. The most famous inn in Hupan County is a stone house inn. It is on the west side of the small lake. There are no people on both sides of the inn, although it is also within the county seat.
But it is a very remote place, and the other one is Hudongju, where Fang Zhuan lives. The environment in the inn is very good, and there are three upper rooms on the pavilion in the backyard, which are often called Tianzi rooms.
, Fang Zhuan will never miss such a good environment. When the waiter led the way to the guest room, he also specially introduced the origin of the small lake and the stories that have happened in the past. Of course, there are also the differences in the living environment of the courtyards on both sides of the lake.
In the waiter's words, he talked about the Stone House Inn in Huxi. It is said that to get to Tianzifang, you must pass through seven stone arch bridges. Those seven bridges are unique to Hupan County. And this person who inquired about the information really
He was so determined that he hid under the stone arch bridge to inquire about the news.
"Master, I only want to give you the news, but please promise not to tell anyone else. I'm just hoping to exchange the news for wine. Hehe." The person who inquired about the news spoke in a very low voice.
