Chapter 2 Kei Water Leopard...

Yu Changqing walked very fast when he descended the mountain, and he had been pampered by Mengzhe for more than ten years. How could he keep up with Yu Changqing's footsteps? Yu Changqing stopped and walked, and it was already dark in a short time, so he had to spend the night at the foot of Yuheng Mountain.

Yu Changqing built a fire, the summer night was full of stars, and the insects chirped incessantly.

You Mengzhe took off his martial boots, and blisters appeared on his feet, and he immediately complained.

Yu Changqing smiled and said, "Buy a horse after going down the mountain, and your golden leaf will come in handy."

You Mengzhe said, "Brother Yu, if you want to chase thieves, why don't you buy it? Did you come all this way?"

Yu Changqing replied, "The salary of a hawk dog is so low that I can't afford a good horse."

But You Mengzhe never thought about money, and said casually, "I'll buy you a horse when I go down the mountain tomorrow."

Yu Changqing said: "Leading with good intentions, the horse will return quickly, the steps must be honed, and the foolish brother must also practice the light kung fu."

You Mengzhe suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that people in the world have a nickname. What is the nickname of Brother Yu?"

Yu Changqing snorted: "Brother Yu is not a person in the world, and he doesn't have a nickname for himself, but people in Jianghu gave Yu brother a nickname called 'Wanli Duckweed'."

You Mengzhe seemed to understand, but nodded, and the two went to sleep.

You Mengzhe didn't sleep peacefully, and he slapped the mosquitoes. He wanted to give Yu Changqing to Shuangxiu at night. However, looking at the other party's skills, he is a waste again. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get it. This way of turning yang really needs the first one...just one.

If you find a master Shuangxiu, you will have martial arts skills. Next, if you want to bully men and bully men, you can just go for it directly, and everything is easy to say.

Piansheng is the first one that is hard to find. The so-called beginning of everything is difficult, which is probably the case.

"Brother Yu." You Mengzhe decided to be moved by emotion, understand it with reason, and asked, "Have you ever been married?"

Yu Changqing rested on her arm and crossed Erlang's legs, lying not far from the fire, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Big brother got married two years ago."

You Mengzhe nodded his head. Although he lives in the mountains all the year round and doesn't understand the world, he still understands the customs of the world and loves men and women, so he won't be blinded by both eyes. No wonder Yu Changqing didn't want to double cultivation, it turned out to be only two years of marriage.

You Mengzhe: "Brother Yu, do you have children? Do you miss them?"

Yu Changqing: "The foolish brother has no children."

You Mengzhe: "You and I just match each other. You don't have to be a foolish brother, a foolish brother. Why don't you have children?"

Yu Changqing smiled to himself and did not answer.

"The matter of not having children is destined by heaven." Yu Changqing said casually, "I can't ask for it."

You Mengzhe wanted to play! He asked again, "Do you have any siblings at home?"

Yu Changqing shook his head, looked at You Mengzhe with a smile, and said, "How about you?"

You Mengzhe shook his head and said, "I'm an only son, I've been alone since I was a child."

Yu Changqing snorted and said, "The eldest brother is also an only son, and there are eighty mothers in the family."

You Mengzhe moved over, Yu Changqing was lying down, You Mengzhe sat, raised his fingers and put his knees together, and asked, "Brother Yu, why don't you take a concubine?"

Yu Changqing said with a smile: "The wife can't be served, how can you have any other thoughts?"

The more You Mengzhe listened, the more he realized that there was something in Yu Changqing's words, and asked curiously, "Your wife is fierce?"

Yu Changqing slammed it away, and You Mengzhe said again: "What kind of situation is it to marry a wife?"

Yu Changqing smiled and said, "When you get married, you will naturally understand."

This answer was right in his heart. You Mengzhe hit the snake and followed the stick, and kept asking questions. He touched Yu Changqing's chest with one hand. You Mengzhe didn't know why he had this idea. , and wished to get into his arms.

You Mengzhe: "How did you meet your sister-in-law?"

Yu Changqing: "When the time comes, I'll know you naturally."

You Mengzhe: "What are you going to do in the dòng room?"

Yu Changqing: "Your father also taught you this? Brother, don't do anything, what do you want to do?"

You Mengzhe put one hand on Yu Changqing's chest, touched his waist and belly, and twisted his head through the martial robe. Yu Changqing's chasing robe was very thin, and the man's figure was majestic. Yu Changqing bowed and laughed, grabbed his hand and squeezed his waist, and said, "Lie down, don't move."

Yu Changqing stretched out a hand and put You Mengzhe on the pillow, and the two lay side by side on the grass.

"It's good for young people to come out and venture into the world." Yu Changqing said sternly: "When I was sixteen years old when I was successful in martial arts, I also left my teacher's door and went out to visit the famous mountains and mountains, but Brother Youxian, you have to remember that in this world Not every person you meet by chance will be kind to you, and you should not be rude when you meet people in the rivers and lakes on the road."

You Mengzhe glanced sideways at Yu Changqing, as if he didn't understand, resting on Yu Changqing's strong left arm, the two of them looked at the night sky at the end of the summer above their heads, the Milky Way was vast and the stars were dotted.

"Then why are you being so polite to me?" You Mengzhe asked curiously.

Yu Changqing smiled and said, "I think you're quite interesting. Forget it, don't mention this, just sleep, and I have to hurry tomorrow."

You Mengzhe went down the mountain alone for the first time in his life. He didn't understand the dangers of rivers and lakes at all. He just thought that even if he met a stranger in the deep mountains and forests, it would be more interesting than the people on the mountain.

The next morning, the dew was thick and the mountains were foggy in the morning. The two got up early. Yu Changqing took You Mengzhe down the mountain and crossed the river at the ferry crossing of the Hanjiang River. You Mengzhe was the first time to see this vast land and the river was rolling.

From the inn, the ferry port, the river beach, the boatman, all the scenery has a wonderful attraction in his eyes.

The water of the Hanjiang River is as old as the past, and the turbulent waves are rushing eastward. The ferry boat on the riverside stops at the ferry port, and there are people everywhere. You Mengzhe got on the boat and looked around, but Yu Changqing put his shoulders on him and took him to the side of the boat, signaling him not to. move around.

The three religions and nine streams on the boat were crowded, the porter carrying the load, the woman holding the child, and several warriors from the East China Sea and the West, all wearing bamboo hats and chatting with their arms around each other.

The captain sang his horn and crossed the river. In the early morning, a man in gray jumped down from the mountains and shouted, "Wait!"

The man came too late to catch the boat, so he had to wait for the next crossing.

In the distance, several Jianghu tourists whispered and looked at You Mengzhe together. One of them wanted to come over, but his companion whispered a few words, indicating that there was someone standing next to him.

Several people cast malicious glances from under the hat, but because Yu Changqing was on the side, they did not dare to act rashly.

Yu Changqing calmly glanced at the side of the ship.

As the river went east, water birds chirped, and as far as the eye could see, the sky and the earth were open. You Mengzhe stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the water and the sky, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"Have you been to Jiangzhou?" You Mengzhe asked.

Yu Changqing said: "I have been here no less than five or six times. Since ancient times, the taxation of the world has left Jiangzhou. During the four hundred years of Daqing, Jiangzhou was the largest taxation area in the Central Plains. General Eagle fled the capital overnight and fought against the Xiongnu army at Fengguan outside Xichuan. After that, he gathered 50,000 Heijia troops in Jiangzhou and returned to the capital in one fell swoop. He recaptured the Daqing Jiangshan."

You Mengzhe nodded slowly, fascinated when he heard it, and couldn't help imagining the heroic scene four hundred years ago.

"Does the Heijia Army still have it?" You Mengzhe had read some historical books in the Yuheng Mountain Bookstore.

Yu Changqing said: "Let's go, Jiangzhou men have been known for their bravery since ancient times. After entering the city, watch more, listen more, and talk less. You can't make trouble."

You Mengzhe responded. It was time for the ferry to dock. The crowd disembarked in a hustle and bustle. Someone came up from the north ferry. The situation was chaotic. Yu Changqing said, "Meng Zhe!"

You Mengzhe was squeezed around, and his butt was pinched, so he couldn't help screaming. When he turned around, he saw a ragged, dirty little beggar. The boy was about the same height as him, but half a head taller than him. , winked at him, and got on the ferry with a smile.

You Mengzhe was at a loss, and Yu Changqing came over and said, "I'm not being squeezed."

You Mengzhe touched the package on his back, and once everything was in good condition, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Yu Changqing took You Mengzhe into Jiangzhou City, which is ten kilometers away from the prosperous Jinhan River. Since Han Canghai, the god of war in black armor, sat in Jiangzhou in the past, this place has become the largest city in the South Central Plain. There are two cities in the east and west for several kilometers. Commercial goods, as big as giant elephants in the Southern Wilderness, as small as crickets in jars, corals in the East China Sea, red wine in the Western Regions, deer antlers outside the Great Wall, pearls in Nanze... A girl who sold her body to bury her father, a man with a broken brick head... everything.

You Mengzhe looked dizzy several times, almost lost, Yu Changqing crossed the long street sideways, and then turned around to pick up You Mengzhe by the collar, and took him away like a small jī.

"It's up to you later." Yu Changqing said, "Go to the hotel first."

Yu Changqing took You Mengzhe to an alley in the middle of the east and west cities. The guy saw that the two were well-dressed and his eyes brightened. Yu Changqing said, "One is down."

The guy immediately sneered and said, "No, please come early next time."

Yu Changqing held a knife and clasped his fists and said, "I have official business at my side, please be accommodating."

You Mengzhe didn't understand the world, but he could see the good and evil of people. Knowing that this guy looked down on people, he immediately said, "Do you look down on people?"

The guy said: "I look down on you!"

You Mengzhe: "Want to be beaten? Come on!"

The guy scolded and threw the cassock and was about to push it, Yu Changqing hurriedly said, "Brother! Don't cause trouble!"

Yu Changqing showed the official document, and the guy had to take them to the backyard on the first floor, opened a room, and the interior was unspeakably shabby. There was a shop, a three-legged table against the wall, a bench, no room. .

You Mengzhe turned over the quilt, it was moldy, and he thought to himself that this place was made of carved jade from the outside, how could the things inside be so crumbling?

Yu Changqing washed his face with water, and You Mengzhe said, "How do you catch the thief you want to catch? Can I help you?"

Yu Changqing said: "That fellow has done a lot of light work, and there are many people in Jiangzhou City, and catching someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. For my brother, I have to go to my peers and ask, and see how I can find a thread and lure him out. Today you can go by yourself. Have fun, don't make trouble."

You Mengzhe said, "I'll go with you."

Yu Changqing waved his hand and said, "You have Panchuan on you, go to Dongshi to exchange for silver taels, food and play in Jiangzhou city, I think you will like it, but you have to come back to sleep at night."

You Mengzhe had no idea, he put the bag on the bed, and was about to go out with some gold leaves in his pocket, Yu Changqing said again, "Brother, please bring the things for you, so as not to be stolen."

You Mengzhe said: "Then keep it."

Yu Changqing saw You Mengzhe carefree, looking like a young man who didn't know the world, so he had to help him keep his belongings for the time being, opened it in front of You Mengzhe, and said, "You see clearly, it's all these things."

"Hmm..." You Mengzhe said, "Heaven is absolutely annihilated through the bones and needles, the red-eyed golden toad... No, where's my secret recipe?"

You Mengzhe hurriedly touched his chest, and after a long time of feeling his chest and waist, he screamed, "My magic formula for turning the sun is gone!"

Yu Changqing frowned, and asked, "Did you forget to put it away after drying it?"

You Mengzhe said: "It was obviously still with me before. I don't know where I left it."

Yu Changqing said: "This kind of martial arts is useless to cultivate. If you lose it, you will lose it."

You Mengzhe said: "Fortunately, I have memorized it all."

Yu Changqing: "..."

The two walked out of the guest room one after the other, and Yu Changqing said: "I didn't tell you, your family's martial arts practice is really...hey."

You Mengzhe said, "What is it?"

You Mengzhe passed by outside the store, and suddenly saw that the second man in the store who had spoken unkindly before, had a bruised nose and a swollen face, as if he had just been beaten, fat like a pig's head, when he saw them coming out, he hurriedly nodded and said, "You two, it's easy to go, it's easy to go."

You Mengzhe: "?"

Yu Changqing was also a bit baffled. He glanced at the little Er, didn't ask much, and casually continued the previous words: "The side door... Evil Dao."

You Mengzhe said: "We are all good people in the Demon Cult! Except for practicing a little kung fu, everyone is a first-class kind person. Dad is always sending people down the mountain to kill the people, helping the people in the village at the foot of Yuheng Mountain to find cattle and carry water. Yes. It has a reputation!"

Yu Changqing's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked again, "What do your sects do for a living on weekdays?"

You Mengzhe said: "Everyone is planting fields on the mountain, and doing some business down the mountain. The hall masters and rudder masters are all in various cities. They have built some properties and regularly give my father food, drink, and money."

Yu Changqing nodded, the two walked out of the alley, and the overwhelming noise came over again, Yu Changqing said: "I'm leaving now."

You Mengzhe said goodbye to him and walked along the long street with a curious expression on his face. He looked left and right. He walked to Yinzhuang and remembered Yu Changqing's instructions, so he took out the golden leaf and went in.

One tael of gold was exchanged for twelve taels of silver, and You Mengzhe exchanged two silver notes of five hundred taels, and sixty taels of silver were spent.

There is a famous shop in Jiangzhou called Tianxialou. This fish porridge, steamed buns, and tea eggs are famous all over the world. It is said that Chengzu ate in this shop when he went to Jiangzhou. You Mengzhe ordered a pot of tea, a bowl of fish porridge, and a saucer of sauce. Stir-fried Tian jī with pepper, a pot of crab huáng steamed buns, eat steamed buns while listening to people talk about books.

Someone poked You Mengzhe's shoulder with a finger, You Mengzhe turned his head and saw the wall on the left.

You Mengzhe: "?"

A dirty hand stretched out from the right, grabbed a bun and left.

You Mengzhe turned back and continued to eat, and then ate the steamed buns again. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. How could there be less?

One, two... You Mengzhe counted several times, six, and when he lowered his head and continued to eat, another finger poked his left shoulder, and You Mengzhe turned his head sharply, staring at the wall.

With one hand on the right, the whole cage of steamed buns was lifted away.

You Mengzhe screamed: "Boss! Your shop is haunted!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone behind him groaned in pain, and then he ran away. When You Mengzhe turned his head, he saw a figure flickering in the distance, and then another gray shadow passed by and disappeared.

You Mengzhe: "..."

You Mengzhe was confused, finished his lunch, and said, "The bill is settled."

He patted a silver ingot on the table, and the man's eyes straightened. Holding the silver ingot, he went to look for the boss. After a while, the boss came out and said with a smile: "Guest officer, this ingot of silver can't be found in a small shop? Do you have any copper coins?"

You Mengzhe: "Can't find it? How did you open the door to do business!"

The boss complained bitterly: "Guest officer, Mo Xun is happy, you have five taels of silver!"

You Mengzhe had to take out the smallest piece of 2 taels of silver and the boss. The boss found two large strings of copper coins, and You Mengzhe's face turned green when he saw it. Two strings of copper coins, one string of 1,000 yuan, and one penny and five baht weighed about half a tael. This string weighed thirty-two pounds, and two strings of sixty-four pounds, and they would be dragged down when walking down the street with their pants.

The boss said: "The store opens its doors and does business with copper coins. I don't see many silver taels to settle the bill. There is no broken silver in the cabinet..."

You Mengzhe said: "Forget it, I will give you two taels of silver. Tomorrow and the morning after tomorrow, I will bring the meal to the Imperial Treasure Inn in the alleys of Dongjie Street."

The boss nodded hurriedly, and You Mengzhe waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to thank him.

Strolling to the East Market, a merchant led an elephant, which Meng Zhe heard from his father when he was on the mountain, that it was the docile king of the hundred shòu, so he reached out and touched its nose.

"Little brother—buy, buy one and go home and play." The merchant was from the Western Regions, with green eyes and beards, speaking in a bad Central Plains language, and still stuttering.

You Mengzhe said: "No, I can't fit in the house. How much does this thing cost? Can it be sold?"

The merchant said: "One thousand taels."

You Mengzhe said casually: "Eight hundred taels for sale or not."

The trader said, "Nine, nine hundred and eighth—twelve taels."

You Mengzhe thought that riding on this thing was quite majestic, but he was determined to not buy it, and wanted to tease the businessman, so he pretended to hesitate and said, "I only have eight... eight hundred and two—twelve taels."

You Mengzhe was talking, his eyes looked under the elephant's belly, and when he saw a person, he was holding the elephant's belly, and the whole person was upside down and placed under his head, and he was reaching out for the four-sided golden bag carried by the merchant in the Western Regions.

You Mengzhe tilted his head and looked at the man. It was a dirty beggar boy, and he vaguely felt that he had seen this man before.

"Shh..." The man stretched his mouth, motioning You Mengzhe not to speak.

You Mengzhe: "Hey."

With a serious expression, the man shoved a pearl necklace into his arms indiscriminately, and the merchant said, "No, don't buy it, why - a joke!"

The man took out a bunch of things and stuffed it into his arms, dodged behind the elephant's legs, turned around again, and ran away.

You Mengzhe also left.

After walking a few steps, when he heard the official arrival, the businessman said with a sad face, "Just... in this—in, ​​no—no more...a bunch, a bunch..."

You Mengzhe walked around the street and saw that the martial arts clothes in a ready-to-wear store were good. He bought himself new clothes and thought about it. In his memory, he drew Yu Changqing's figure, and he also brought it to him. When it was dark, he went to the old Jianghu store again I bought some stuffy fragrance and sweat medicine, and I went back to the inn.

When he returned, Yu Changqing was already waiting in the store, and You Mengzhe said, "Brother Yu, have you come back after inquiring about the news?"

Yu Changqing snorted and said, "Jiangzhou Chakuai colleagues have given the eldest brother an idea, and he is a little worried."

There seemed to be something bothering him while speaking, You Mengzhe said: "Shuangxiu."

Yu Changqing didn't answer his words, saying: "There is a martial arts family in Jiangzhou named Long. Senior Long will celebrate his 70th birthday today. Many martial arts people are going to give gifts. I'm afraid that when he sees his wealth, he will go to the birthday banquet. I caught the fish with my hands, and got two invitations for my brother, and I am planning to wait for the rabbit, you see."

You Mengzhe said, "Do you want to catch a thief at the birthday banquet?"

Yu Changqing nodded and said, "But I have to prepare some birthday gifts. I came here in a hurry for my brother, and I didn't bring much money with me."

You Mengzhe was greedy for freshness and excitement, and said, "Take me there?"

Yu Changqing was silent, and You Mengzhe said, "Don't you have any money? I'll make a birthday gift. How much?"

Yu Changqing said: "That's what I thought, but I can't let you go out, borrow some money, and do a birthday gift for my brother. You have nothing to do. Come back to Beijing with me, and I will pay you back for my brother."

You Mengzhe said: "Hey, it doesn't matter, how much money do you want? What do you think?"

Yu Changqing was very embarrassed, and said again: "No, no, that's not what I said. After my brother catches the criminal, I will pay you back."

You Mengzhe: "Okay, let's not talk about it, don't grind it, how much, I just exchanged a thousand taels, if it's not enough, I'll go..."

Yu Changqing: "Two... two taels."

You Mengzhe: "..."
