Li Tianmu would rather die than submit. His vision went dark and he fainted from the pain. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the board of the boat. The poison on his body had been detoxified. The person rowing the boat was a girl in green, and the boat was moving forward in the sea. , not far from Snake Island.
When the girl in green clothes saw that he was awake, she smiled and said, "Master Li, my master asked me to take you to Qingniwakou."
Li Tianmu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you very much." Looking towards Snake Island, he saw the poisonous lady standing on the cliff, and thought to himself: "She doesn't really want to harm me."
The poisonous lady watched the boat go away and said to herself: "Li Tianmu is willing to die for the woman he loves. He is really a good man."
A few days later, Li Tianmu returned to the Beggar Clan branch in Zizaizhou. Captain Feng saw him coming in and greeted him: "Master Li, you are back."
Li Tianmu asked: "Have you found them?"
Captain Feng said: "They haven't been found yet, but brothers from the gang saw them in Shenyang Zhongwei a few days ago. Everyone is stepping up their search. Don't be anxious, Master Li. Stay here for now and wait patiently. I believe they will be there soon." Will find them."
Li Tianmu thought to himself: "I am idle, so I might as well go look for him." He said goodbye and came to Shenyang Zhongwei. He spent two days searching all the taverns in the city but could not find Tian Long. Others went to Fushun to look for it, but still couldn't find it.
This day I came to Tielingwei and asked several taverns, but still found nothing. Walking on the street, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "My benefactor!" He didn't pay attention and continued to walk his own way. A middle-aged man The man caught up from behind, walked around to him, and said with a smile: "My dear friend, I didn't expect to meet you here."
When Li Tianmu saw that the man was Fan Wu, he smiled and said, "It's you."
Fan Wudao: "My lord, why are you here?"
Li Tianmu said: "Come to do something."
Fan Wu talked about Li Tianmu's rescue in Zizaizhou and thanked him profusely. He insisted on taking Li Tianmu home for dinner. Li Tianmu refused inconveniently and said with a smile: "Then I'm sorry."
Fan Wu smiled and said: "My dear benefactor, please don't be polite to me. You saved my life, so a meal doesn't matter. Let's hire a donkey cart to go home."
Li Tianmu asked: "Why hire a donkey cart?"
Fan Wudao said: "My home is in Longquangou, more than fifty miles away from here. I'm afraid I will tire my benefactor."
Li Tianmu smiled and said: "Don't hire a donkey cart. Don't waste money. I've walked dozens of miles and I'm not tired yet."
At noon, the two came to Longquangou. Li Tianmu followed Fan Wu into a small farmyard. Fan Wu said: "This is my home."
Li Tianmu saw that the small courtyard was not big, and was surrounded by a fence as high as one person. There was only one adobe house in the courtyard, which was dilapidated, and even the windows were not papered. This showed that the life of Fan Wu's family was not easy.
When his big yellow dog saw a stranger, he ran over and barked at Li Tianmu. Before Fan Wu could stop, Li Tianmu glared at the dog, and the big yellow dog shrank back in fright, not daring to act any more recklessly.
When the two of them entered the room, Fan Wudao said: "My dear, please sit down and I will get you some water."
Li Tianmu sat by the kang, and Fan Wu brought a ladle of water and said sheepishly: "There is no tea at home, so I can only let my benefactor drink plain water."
Li Tianmu smiled, took the ladle, and said, "This is pretty good." He drank up the ladle of water, feeling that the water was sweet and refreshing, and praised, "The water you have here is really good."
Fan Wu said with a smile: "This is the spring water on the mountain. It is not only sweet, but can also cure diseases. If you have a headache or brain fever, you will be cured by drinking it. People in the older generation call that spring Longquan, because with this Longquan, our mountain It’s called Longquan Mountain.”
Li Tianmu said: "If such good water is used to make wine, it will definitely produce excellent wine."
Fan Wudao: "Uncle Baoku of my village makes wine from Longquan. The Shaodaozi he brews is so good. Is my benefactor used to Shaodaozi?"
Li Tianmu said: "You can drink a little."
Fan Wudao: "It's good if you can drink it. I'll go to Uncle Baoku later to ask for some and give it to my benefactor."
Li Tianmu said: "Fifth brother, don't always call me benefactor. Just call me Tianmu."
Fan Wu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Brother Tianmu, you sit down first and I'll get you some food." After that, he left the house.
Li Tianmu looked out the window and saw Fan Wu about to kill an old hen, and said: "Fifth brother, don't kill the chicken, keep it to lay eggs. It will be a pity to eat it."
Fan Wudao said: "There is nothing to entertain at home. How can we make sense if we don't even kill a chicken?" As he spoke, he killed the old hen.
Li Tianmu thought to himself: "This Fifth Brother Fan is quite honest."
After a while, Fan Wu put down the low table on the Kang, served the food, and said: "There's nothing to entertain, Brother Tianmu, just have some."
Li Tianmu said: "That's good."
Fan Wudao: "You eat first, I'll go to Uncle Baoku to ask for some wine."
When Li Tianmu saw Fan Wu carrying an empty ladle out of the yard, he didn't move his chopsticks. He sat on the kang and waited for him to come back and eat together. After a while, Fan Wu came back with a ladle of wine. As soon as he entered the house, Li Tianmu smelled something tangy.
He looked at the aroma of the wine and said with a smile: "The aroma of this wine hits your nose, it must be a good wine."
Fan Wu sat down on the Kang, filled a bowl for Li Tianmu, poured another bowl for himself, put the ladle on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother, how do you like this wine?"
Li Tianmu took a sip and recognized that it was the roasted knife in the Puji wine gourd. He was surprised and asked: "Where does Uncle Baoku live? Take me to him quickly."
Fan Wuyi was startled and asked: "What are you looking for Uncle Baoku for?"
Li Tianmu said: "I want to find a few people. Maybe Uncle Baoku will know their whereabouts."
Fan Wudao: "Then come with me."
The two came to the door of a house in the west of the village. Li Tianmu saw a short table in the yard and four people sitting around eating and drinking. Three of them were Tian Long, Wu Kunshan and Pu Ji. He was overjoyed and walked away.
He walked in and said with a smile: "Master, I finally found you."
When Wu Kunshan saw it was Li Tianmu, he said, "Ah, your kid is here too."
Li Tianmu presented gifts to Wu Kunshan, Tian Long and Puji. There was an old man in his fifties with a big head and a thick neck sitting with them. Wu Kunshan introduced: "This is your Uncle Fan Baoku. Let's drink."
It must be your Uncle Fan who made this Shao Daozi."
Li Tianmu gave Fan Baoku a gift, and Fan Baoku nodded with a smile, stood up, brought two benches and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Li Tianmu and Fan Wu to sit down and eat and drink together.
Puji said to Li Tianmu: "Boy, why did you come here?"
Li Tianmu was afraid of scaring Fan Baoku and Fan Wu, so he did not reveal the truth and said: "I know there is good wine here, so I came here after smelling the aroma."
Pu Ji smiled and said: "Get over it quickly, your nose is not that bright." He knew that Li Tianmu was not telling the truth, so he thought that Li Tianmu had some scruples, so he stopped asking.
While everyone was drinking and chatting, Fan Baoku said to Fan Wu: "Lao Wu, your wife hasn't come back yet?"
Fan Wu sighed and said frustratedly: "No."
Li Tianmu asked Fan Wudao: "Where is my sister-in-law going?"
Fan Wudao: "That woman blamed me for not making enough money, so she took the child back to her parents' home."
Wu Kunshan said: "If the old man doesn't make any money back, will she go back to her parents' house? This kind of woman deserves to be beaten."
Fan Wudao: "It's not her fault, it's all my fault for not being able to make money."
Tian Long said: "You should learn a craft. Once you have a craft, you won't be afraid of not being able to make money."
Fan Wu sighed and said, "I'm already in my thirties, who would accept me as an apprentice?"
Tian Long said: "If others don't accept it, Brother Baoku will definitely accept it. If you are a fellow villager, can he not give you a try?" He then smiled at Fan Baoku and said, "Isn't that right, Brother Baoku?"
Fan Baoku said: "Lao Wu, would you like to learn winemaking from Uncle Baoku?"
Fan Wudao: "Yes, I am willing, but I don't know if I can make money after learning how to do it?"
Tian Long said: "When you master this craft, I will take care of all the wine you make. I will pay you one tael of silver per catty. I will make as much wine as you want."
Fan Wu couldn't believe his ears and said: "One tael of silver and a pound? Oh my god, old man, are you kidding me?"
Tian Long smiled and took out an ingot of gold ingot, put it in front of Fan Wu's table, and said: "This is the deposit, you should believe it this time, right?"
Fan Wu picked up the gold ingot, put the upper corner into his mouth, and bit it with his teeth.
Tian Long said: "Hey, silly boy, you can't eat that thing. If you eat it, you will die."
Fan Wu didn't want to eat it, he just wanted to test the authenticity of the ingot. He took a bite of the ingot, took it out and looked at it. He saw obvious teeth marks on it and said with a smile: "Ha... this is really a gold ingot."
, I'm rich." He leaned back and fell to the ground, clenching his teeth and falling unconscious.
Li Tianmu hurriedly helped him sit up, pinched his middle, wiped his chest, and beat his vest. Fan Wu woke up, stood up suddenly, laughed repeatedly and said: "I'm rich..." He shouted with a smile and ran out of the hospital. Everyone present
Everyone was shocked.
Tian Long said: "Is this kid so happy that he goes crazy?"
Li Tianmu flew out to chase him and pulled Fan Wu back. Fan Wu danced happily and still shouted happily, "I'm rich..."
Fan Baoku sighed and said: "I didn't expect this child to be so lucky. He would go crazy with joy after just one ingot of gold ingot. What should he do if he continues to be crazy?"
Wu Kunshan frowned and said, "This guy is too hopeless. Is that the case?"
Tian Long said: "If I had known this was going to happen, I would have given him a piece of silver."
Puji said: "I'm afraid he will go crazy with joy after seeing a piece of silver."
Li Tianmu had been with Chen Zhenshi for many years and had some knowledge of medicine. He checked Fan Wu's pulse as he spoke and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Brother Fan Wu is fine. It's just that the phlegm came up and confused his mind."
He made a "pop" sound and gave Fan Wu a big mouth. Fan Wu leaned to one side and spit out several mouthfuls of phlegm while coughing. His eyes were bright and he was not crazy.
Fan Wu knew nothing about what had just happened, but when Fan Baoku told it with a smile, his face turned red.
The reason why Tian Long wants to help Fan Wu is that he feels pity for him and wants to help him. On the other hand, he wants to have a steady supply of burning knives.
Fan Baoku only brews more than 100 kilograms of Shaodaozi a year, which is not enough for Tian Long to drink. Tian Long once offered to buy Fan Baoku's Shaodaozi at the same price and let him brew more, but Fan Baoku was unmoved.
He had no children or daughters. After his wife passed away, he was left alone. He had several acres of fertile farmland at home, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, so he could make ends meet. The wine he brewed was never sold for money.
After lunch, Fan Baoku took Fan Wu to Longquan on the mountain to get water. His Shao Daozi was brewed with the water of Longquan. Longquan water is good, and coupled with his exquisite brewing technology, he had this nectar-like Shao Daozi.
.
After they left, Puji said to Li Tianmu: "Boy, you definitely didn't come here for the wine. You didn't tell the truth just now. I thought you were in front of Fan Baoku and Fan Wu, so I couldn't speak frankly. Now they
Now that you're out, can you tell the truth?"
Li Tianmu smiled and said: "Fifth uncle is as careful as a hair, and I can't hide anything from you." Then he told about the assassination of Zheng Lujia and asked Wu Kunshan, Tian Long and Puji for help, and the three of them generously agreed.
