"Come on, come on, ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it as you pass by, a sixty-year-old man performing a chest-breaking performance!"
The two dogs were still shouting in the open space. In the blink of an eye, it had been seven days since the master and apprentice had set out to break the boulders.
Although the two gimmicks of "sixty years old" and "breaking rocks" are very capable of bluffing people.
But there were still people watching on the two and three days. Especially on the second day, after the publicity from people who had watched it the day before, everyone knew that a fierce old man who could withstand knife attacks came to the performing arts place in Luochuan City.
His muscles and bones were as if they were made of iron, and he caused quite a sensation at the time.
But for seven or eight days in a row, they just chopped big rocks with swords, so it had no effect, but the master and the disciple didn't know anything else.
They don't have specific handles like other entertainers, such as taking a spoon from a frying pan or swallowing a long sword.
Kung Fu is great, but they are all killing skills. Let’s not talk about whether it will scare others or be copied by others. Even this move is not designed to look good!
Another advantage of the old man is that he has deep inner strength and abundant energy. But there is no way to show this invisible and intangible inner strength.
The two masters and apprentices made a huge profit on the second day, which made the government servants in charge of this area very happy. They thought they had found a financial sponsor!
But as soon as the third and fourth days passed, even Jiang Ergou's master and apprentice could barely make ends meet. They were no longer willing to come, and they didn't care about the commission of more than ten cents.
"Old man, what are we going to do? No one comes to see us, and in two days we will have to drink from the northwest wind again."
Seeing that no one came around, Ergou didn't have the patience to continue shouting, so he ran to the old man and squatted with him.
"Then what can I do? I'm not a performer. How can I kill someone for them?"
"Oh, let's forget about it for now! Just let one day pass. If it doesn't work, let's just leave. Change the city and chop rocks."
Ergou was also very helpless about this. Although he was relatively smart, after all, he had seen too little of the world.
"Ergou, you don't really want to keep chopping rocks like this, do you? Even if I can bear it, are you sure there will always be people watching?"
"Then what should I do? You also lost the money. Now that you have nothing to eat, what do you think you should do?"
"Can you just blame me? If you hadn't been pretentious and just asked for Qin Yi's two hundred taels of silver, how could we have suffered like this? How can we be so cool now?"
The old man had been forced to chop stones these days, and he was already very angry. He was not happy to hear that Ergou was complaining about money being stolen.
"Hey, hey, OK, OK! Let's not talk about anyone else. Now just tell us what to do!"
Ergou also knew that he was at fault in this matter, so he didn't want to argue with the old man.
Just when the two were at a loss what to do, a figure floated past them.
"Old man, old man, look quickly and see if that boy who just passed by is the one who hit me that night."
"Where? Where?"
The old man asked while looking around. Finally, he followed Ergou's finger and looked over. Sure enough, he saw the thief.
"Yes, yes, that's him! That's the grandson."
"It's his grandma's, and he dared to be caught by me. I'll go find him and get the money back."
"Yes, yes, why do you want it? What evidence do you have that he stole it? He refuses to admit it, so what can you do?"
The old man grabbed Jiang Ergou, who was about to run away.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"What else can I do? Just catch him and beat him up to vent his anger. Don't expect to get the money back anyway."
"What's the point of beating him? He's already hungry, so beating him will make him even hungrier!"
"Then just bear with it, there is nothing you can do."
Suddenly, Ergou had an idea and seemed to have thought of something.
"Come on, old man, I'll take you to get a long-term meal ticket."
"How to mess around?"
"Just follow me."
After saying that, the two of them followed the thief sneakily. Along the way, he stole several people's money bags. But looking at the shriveled appearance, they didn't have much money, so Ergou didn't take it to heart.
.
"Ergou, what are you going to do? Can you tell me the truth?"
"Shh, don't make any noise, or he will find out again!"
Finally, after wandering half of Luochuan City, the thief found a super rich man. How could he tell that he was super rich?
There is a very large money bag at the waist, which is full of silver. Because there is too much silver, half of the banknotes are exposed. Judging from its appearance, it is estimated that it is a one hundred tael banknote.
The moment he saw this person, the thief's eyes suddenly lit up. As the thief's eyes lit up, Jiang
The two dogs also stared straight-eyed.
The thief was quite sensible, and he would definitely feel it if such a big money bag was stolen, so he remembered the young man's appearance and made preparations quietly.
Now that he already knows the thief's next move, Ergou doesn't have to keep an eye on him. As long as he hangs behind the young man, he won't be afraid that the thief won't come back.
"Ergou, what on earth are you going to do?"
"Hahaha, old man, just wait and watch the show! In the next period of time, we will have no worries about food and drink!"
The old man looked at the extremely excited Jiang Ergou, and some of the monk Zhang Er was confused. But he just let him go, since he couldn't stab him anyway. Even if he stabbed him, it didn't matter. If he couldn't do it, he could just run away with him.
Not long after, the thief did not disappoint him. He came back with a bag full of stones. Judging from the size, it was about the same size as the bag of silver.
The thief seemed to be impatient and did not observe the surroundings as he did when stealing money, so he did not notice the master and apprentice who had been quietly watching him.
Then, he bumped into Jiang Ergou just like he had bumped into him.
I feel sorry for this young master, he is probably a more novice than Jiang Ergou. Ergou at least knows how to hide his money close to his body. Fortunately for him, he has a big bag of silver hanging around his waist, for fear of being afraid.
Others don't know that he is a fat sheep, so his money is easily stolen by thieves.
"It's now."
After saying that, ignoring the old man's confused look, Ergou pulled him and chased the thief.
The thief ran into an alley, his pace gradually slowed down, and he looked at the money bag in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.
Good guy, there are one hundred taels and one fifty tael of silver notes each, and a large bag of broken silver. I guess the fifty taels of silver notes and the remaining broken silver are the result of another one hundred tael of silver notes.
Exchanged.
The thief who kept laughing and counting the money naturally didn't notice that there were two people following behind him.
Ergou secretly stepped forward and snatched the bag containing the money from the thief, and also shocked the thief.
"Hey, boy, I caught a big fish today! But it's a pity that I met you."
"Who are you? Do you understand the rules?"
"Rules? A few days ago, you stole my money, and now you come to tell me the rules? Are you shameless?"
Speaking of this, Ergou became angry, not only because the money was stolen, but more importantly because he was not found out after being stolen, which made him feel so shameless.
At first, the thief thought that these two people were in the same business as him, thinking that they were jealous of his income and wanted to take advantage of him. But after hearing Ergou say this, he took a serious look at him.
"Oh...it's you! Who did I think you were? You're a poor guy, you only have less than eight taels of silver in your body. Return the silver to me. I'm happy to reward you with ten taels of silver today."
"You rewarded me with ten taels! Now all the silver is in my hands. How do you get it back?"
"I said, boy, you don't know how to flatter me. You don't go to this area to inquire. Who doesn't know that my Liuyun Hand Shi Qian has never lost my hand, and all the green-skinned gangsters around me are pointing their fingers at me for food. You pissed me off, you
Believe it or not, I will throw your body into a mass grave outside Luochuan City at night."
"Oh, there are still mass graves! I'm so scared! Don't say I won't give you a chance. Just call someone. I'll wait for you here for a quarter of an hour. Of course, if you don't come in a quarter of an hour, I'll leave
I can't wait for you here forever."
"Okay, this is what you said. If you leave, I, Shi Qian, will look down on you!"
"Hurry up and call someone. I've already started timing. I'm ticking."
"Boy, don't run away if you have the guts!"
With that said, he turned around and ran out of the alley.
"Ergou, what are you going to do with this money?"
Naturally, the old man didn't care how many people the thief could call back. To put it bluntly, it would be useless no matter how many people he called back. In contrast, he wanted to know what to do with the money.
"What should I do? Of course I will send it back to someone else. If you took it directly, wouldn't we become thieves too? No, we would have to be robbers as well. We stole this money from that thief.
"
"Then let's eat..."
"Oh! Old man, you know how to eat. Can you take a longer-term view? Don't worry. If you find a long-term meal ticket, it is a long-term meal ticket. Why are you anxious!"
"Yes, yes, Ergou, I have to say that you are smarter than your master and me!"
"That's it, don't look at who I am. Mr. Jiang... who is known as the best young knight in the world."
When the words came to his lips, he realized that he couldn't say the word Ergou. Fortunately, he quickly changed his name.
On the other side, the guy who calls himself Liuyunshou Shiqian, I don’t know if he’s really here.
It gave him some prestige, but he revealed the huge amount of money. He actually called over thirty people.
"Hehe, boy, you should be scared by now! I tell you, return the money to me and call me grandpa again. Maybe grandpa, I will be happy and let you go."
Ergou glanced at the dozens of people across from him and lost interest, then turned to the old man behind him and said.
"Oh! Forget it, it's really boring. I thought there were one or two decent masters! Old man, come on, you can't have any disgusting rules that don't bully the small ones."
"What, I'm on?"
"Then let me do it! It's all my idea, can't you help me a little? Do you really have a rule that you can't bully a small one with a big one?"
"Hey, there's no such bullshit rule! Besides, even if there is, it's not as big as the rule of eating when you're hungry."
Bang bang bang bang…
But after more than ten breaths, no one could see clearly what the old man did anyway.
I saw more than thirty people lying in various directions everywhere, wailing continuously.
"Damn, old man, you don't know how to be more civilized. Just beat him down and knock him down. You have to beat him so that he hangs here and there and flies west."
"Hahaha, I have no experience this time. Be careful next time, be careful next time!"
As he spoke, Ergou lifted up Liuyun Shiqian, who was already watching dumbfoundedly and with his body trembling a little.
"Brother, brother, it's wrong, it's wrong! Grandpa, grandpa. Please don't slap me in the face, okay?"
Ergou hadn't spoken yet, but Shi Qian, who was caught in his hand, hurriedly opened his mouth. He had no choice but to speak slowly and might be beaten.
"Hey, why are you so polite? You were very tough just now."
"No, no, no, it's just that I'm too young to see the mountains. I'll give you all the money today."
"No, I want to pay back the money. As for you, didn't you just tell me the rules? Next, I will make some rules for you."
"Yes, yes, brother, please tell me..."
"As for you, since you have the skills to eat a bowl of Jianghu rice, you should be more concerned about the friendship between Jianghu and Jianghu. As for the rules, I have made three rules for you."
"The first is not to steal money from the poor, the second is not to steal life-saving money, and the third is not to steal money from women and children. As for the other things, you can think of them later and add them slowly! Of course, whether you do it or not is up to you.
However, if you don’t do it, I will look down on you.”
"Yes, yes, you are right. In the future, not only will I follow the rules, but I will also have to pass these rules on to other thieves. As you said, even thieves should have some sense of friendship."
"Well, since you are so polite, let's forget about it and let's leave."
"Okay, okay, walk slowly."
After finishing the calculation, Ergou pretended to be sophisticated and led the old man out of the alley.
The master and apprentice took the money bag and searched for a long time in Luochuan City before they found the nerd who was still wandering around the city.
He didn't seem to notice that the money had been dropped, and a large bag of stones was hanging on the road.
"This young master! This young master!"
From a long distance away, Ergou started shouting. The young scholar seemed to hear someone shouting and turned around and stopped.
I was only looking at the money bag just now and didn't pay attention to the appearance of this young man. Now that I looked at it again, I realized that this scholar is really handsome. Compared with him, Ergou's appearance, which can only be regarded as delicate, is a bit ugly.
It wasn't until Jiang Ergou and his master came to stand in front of him that the young master spoke.
"What's wrong with this young hero?"
Hearing this young hero, Ergou's bones went numb, and he almost gave him back the money and left. He didn't care about the long-term meal ticket, but Xin Hao, Ergou was finally able to stay rational at this moment.
"Sir, look, see if you scream again... No, no, no, it's to see if you have lost your money."
"Haha, young hero, you are joking. My silver is so valuable, how could I not have noticed it if I lost it?"
"Hey, don't do it. You should take a look first, take a look first!"
Only when he picked up the money bag did he realize the problem. The money bag was not his. When he opened it and saw that it was full of stones, he was even more stunned.
"What...what's going on!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, let's see if this is your money bag!"
"Ah! Exactly, exactly, thank you so much, young hero."
"Hahaha, I'm ashamed, I dare to ask this young master his name."
Ever since he heard the title of young hero from the scholar's mouth, Jiang Ergou's laughter never stopped.
