Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Red Beans

"Hey, Hongdou." Gonggong squatted in the snow outside the restaurant, and the snow fluttered on his lion-like messy hair. "Madman, are you back?" The little girl under the eaves reached out and touched his face with her thin hands. "Red bean, I'll borrow money, and I'll have the money to buy it for you soon, what size do you want?" Gong Gong smiled gently on his dark and rough face. Turning a street corner, a few sneaky guys were climbing each other's shoulders and peeking there. "Young Master, do you think I am old?" Xing Tian asked in confusion.

"I didn't see it," Chi You was pressed under Xing Tian's huge figure, "Yesterday we were chased by those widows, and we almost died from running. You are still popular with women." "But you can see how gentle and patient the lunatic is with that little girl. I think I've lost interest in little girls, which means I'm old." "Hey! Brother!" Qi Mei patted his big head hard, "Can you say such obscene words?" Xing Tian pointed at Gonggong and the little girl over there, "It's him who is lewd...it's him!" "Will you die if you stop talking nonsense?" Chi You said, "I don't understand why Gonggong keeps borrowing money recently. What does he want to buy for that little girl?"

"Never mind," Xing Tian said viciously, "I've had enough of a vegetarian life anyway!" Neither the little girl nor Gonggong noticed that the pests from Zhuolu City were hiding in the corner of the wall.In the world where they talked, there was only the sound of fine snow falling on the street and the sound of each other's breathing. The hexagonal snowflakes fell on the little girl's cold hands and did not melt. Gong Gong rubbed her hands with two rough hands. , and breathed on her face, showing a flattering expression. "It's not too big, just a very small one," the little girl circled with her index finger and thumb to compare. Her little face was cracked and covered with plaster, and her smile looked a little bad on it, " I just wanted to touch it to know what it looked like. They all said it was very beautiful."

"Okay," Gonggong nodded vigorously, "I'm saving money, and I'll buy it for you soon, are you cold?" "It won't be cold in a while, and it won't be cold when you're full." Gonggong stroked the little girl's withered and yellow hair, and squatted silently in front of her, like a big dog loyal to its master. "Wow, how pitiful." Yaoyao wiped tears on Xing Tian's head. "Don't be so sentimental! Why are you repeating your old problems? There are so many beggars in Zhuolu City, why do you feel sorry for them all? You have to remember that you are a fairy!" Qi Mei glared at him as viciously as possible.

"Big man, let's go to another place to play. I can't watch someone's sad scene. I want to cry when I see it, but when I cry, the evil spirit will hit me." "That's right! Let's go! If you don't leave the guy who borrowed the money, it will be endless." Xing Tian carried the demon on his shoulders, turned around and ran away in the snow. "Drive! Drive!" The monster sat on his neck and patted his head. "Little guy, what do you think you are doing?" Xing Tian galloped like a horse, his voice gradually disappeared in the distance.

"Hey, madman!" Chi You took a step from the corner and waved to Gong Gong. Gonggong was stunned for a moment when he saw him, showing joy, and ran around the corner beside the little girl waddling. "Have you heard that?" Gonggong smiled obsequiously, "I just need to borrow a few copper coins to buy a gift for Hongdou. It's not going to drink, but I'm not going to drink!" "But we are also very poor," Feng Bo said, "Although we see how caring you are, we really want to join you in this grand event." "Uncle Feng, didn't you say that you can find a job if you open your mind? Wouldn't that mean you will have income?" Yun Jin said.

"My goal is to help people dry mutton, but what they want is a mild and dry wind. When I do it, the wind blows from the northwest!" Feng Bo said: "My ability, the most suitable job is to fight the rain. Teachers cooperated with each other and threatened the Yellow Emperor that if we don’t give us a higher salary, we will make trouble and turn Zhuolu City into a water town and Zeguo!” "That's called blackmail." Qi Mei patted his head, "Besides, you don't dare." "Then what should we do?" Chi You scratched his head. "Why are you so dejected? Animals are frozen to death and starved to death all day long in the woods. That's how the world is, right? It's not our business! Let me tell you, if you die early and reincarnate early, you may be able to live in a warmer place Hey." Qi Mei looked uninterested.

While those people were bickering, Yunjin walked slowly to the eaves and looked at the little girl. "Is your name Hongdou?" Yun Jin squatted in front of her. "Yes!" Hongdou raised her head and said in a miserable voice, "Madam, please do me a favor, I've been hungry for days!" "I think she should be richer than us with the way she asks for money." Uncle Feng murmured. "I'm not Madam," Yun Jin shook her head, "May I touch your face?" Red Bean nodded.Yunjin's tender hands gently wrapped around Hongdou's rough face, and the traces of being cracked by the cold wind scraped her palms. Yunjin looked into Hongdou's eyes, and there was no life in those big pupils.

"Can't you see?" Yun Jin asked. "I was born blind." "where is your mom?" "Dead, others say she is dead, and the lunatic also says she is dead." Tears ran across Yunjin's face silently, like a string of scattered beads, falling to the ground and melting the icy snow gently.Chi You stared blankly, feeling that he could hear the sound of Yun Jin weeping in the vastness of the world, and Uncle Feng also felt a little sad. He looked at the pale sky and remembered that his elder brother was in power under Zhuan Xu, and he didn't know his mother's life now. Well, maybe she's dead, maybe darning endlessly in one big house with the legion of women his father left behind when he died.Uncle Feng felt sour in his heart, he had told himself many times not to think about it, he was a proton, powerless in front of his powerful elder brother.He thought many times that his mother should have forgotten that she gave birth to him, anyway, she might never see her again from now on.

"Hey! Hey!" Qi Mei said, "You all look so touched, I can't stand it." "Mother!" Feng Bo said, "People are discussing the great topic of mother." Yan Mei shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes, "What does it have to do with me? Anyway, I'm a goblin without parents, so I can live my life as usual? By the way, Chi You, I didn't hear you mention your mother." Chi You turned to look at her, "But I don't have a mother either, I've been with my grandpa since I can remember." "Then why do you also put on that sad expression? Anyway, you are similar to the one who jumped out of the cracks in the rocks."

"You're right." Chi You said.He didn't know what he was grieving for, he didn't have any memories of his mother, and he never even thought that his father and mother were missing in his life. Gong Gong laughed, his smile was a bit weird. Yun Jin took off the white fox fur from her shoulders, wrapped it around Hong Dou's shoulders, turned and walked back to the corner. "Mr. Gong Gong, how much do you want?" Yun Jin asked, "Let's take a look?" "Ah?" Gonggong was stunned for a moment, "I don't know the price..." "Oh! Well, it's rare that I'm soft-hearted, so you can tell me how much you want!" Uncle Feng patted his chest, "I don't have a few hundred copper coins, maybe a few dozen are okay, and there should be some at the Master of Rain." "Maybe I can find a hundred or so more, and Xing Tian will be a vegetarian at most..." Chi You said. Gong Gong sincerely looked around at the crowd. "Don't look at me, goblins don't use money, and they don't save money." Qi Mei said, "Don't make it look like everyone is competing to do charity." "I really don't know how much to buy one. I never spend money except for wine," Gong Gong said. "What do you want to buy for the red beans? How much is it? Tell me!" Uncle Feng became impatient. Gong Gong made a big circle with his hands, and held it up in front of Uncle Feng, "This thing." "Oh!" Feng Bo suddenly realized, "Big cake? You don't know how much a big cake costs. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if it's sold by the piece or by the catty. You wait here, I'll buy five catties." "If it's big pie, I'll just say it straight, but it's not that easy." Gonggong said. "What is that?" Uncle Feng scratched his head, "I don't believe you when you say you want to buy a pot lid for the red beans." "moon." "Let's say that the Yellow Emperor was going to the toilet on Buzhou Mountain, and it happened that our Ministry of Gonggong came to kill him. He really had no soldiers to send and no generals to send..." "Hey, lunatic, even if the king is in the toilet, it doesn't necessarily mean that there are no soldiers to send, right?" A man listening to the book asked drunkenly. "You Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's military order is strict. He said that everyone should go to the toilet, and everyone who doesn't want to go to the toilet should go to the toilet. Therefore," Gonggong waved his hand conclusively, "the whole army will go to the toilet, and there will be no generals." group!" On a table at the entrance of the restaurant, the heroes of the Knife Hilt Society shook their heads and scratched their hair. "Even if he didn't buy the moon, he doesn't have to make up the Yellow Emperor like crazy." Qi Mei said. "He said that since we refused to help him, he had no choice but to make money by storytelling," Chi You said. "Hey, Chi You, did you tell that lunatic that it's not that we don't want to lend him money, but that there is no place to sell the moon?" Feng Bo held his cheeks, frowning. "If he believes me, is he still a lunatic?" Chi You's expression was not much better. "I told you to buy a big pancake for him to use as the moon, did you buy it?" Qi Mei asked. "I bought it a long time ago, and it weighs twenty catties, but I really feel that it is a little different from the moon." Chi You said. "Hey, why don't I say that the pancakes pretend to be the moon?" Uncle Feng spread his hands, "Anyway, the red beans are blind when they are young, and we have never seen them before, so we told her that the pancakes are like this, round, soft and fragrant. It's sweet and sweet, and you can eat it, but it's a bit dry if you eat too much, and it's easy to choke on it." Hearing Uncle Feng burp very bluntly, Yan Mei turned her head abruptly, "Hey! What are you doing?" "Eating the moon...I'm hungry." Feng Bo chewed with a ball of pancake wrapped in his mouth. It was getting late, and the lights were lit in the restaurant.Gong Gong was still surrounded by a group of idlers, and his saliva spattered seven feet away.The thick twilight outside the window presses down on the sky, and the thin clouds are floating still, and a bright moon is faintly in the clouds, like pearls wrapped in a ball of silk. "Oh, is the moon really that good? You must touch it." Uncle Feng looked at the moon through the window, "It makes me want to touch it too." "There's more here, do you want to touch it?" Chi You handed him a big cake. "I don't have any water to drink, I'm choking, I don't touch it." "That's right, you already touched three or four catties." Chi You said vaguely while chewing on the big cake. "Qi Mei, you don't eat, why do you start eating pancakes?" Feng Bo asked curiously. "Oh, I'm bored." The goblin sighed faintly with half a cake in her mouth, her eyes glazed over. "Madman, what's wrong with you today? You keep talking non-stop. Don't tell me you owe a lot of money?" A man followed the story of Gong Gong around Zhou Tian, ​​and finally got a little dizzy after hearing the story of Gonggong. "That's right," another man said, "Your Majesty and you have fought from Beihai to Kunlun, and then from Kunlun to Tianchi, and now you are still flying to Yunmeng. Are you two not sleepy?" "Yeah!" Gonggong said, "That's right, I'm tired enough, then let's go on and say that the king and I were tired from fighting, so we fell down and slept together..." "Your Majesty has many concubines, why do you want to sleep with you?" Yan Mei's eyes were sleepy. As soon as Chi You was distracted, Chi Mei fell asleep with her head on his shoulder.So his body was stiff and he didn't dare to move, he could only hear the goblin's fine breath like the long wind in the woods.Gonggong over there said that the Yellow Emperor and him were full of energy after waking up, so they swung their swords and fought again, flying straight to Yunmeng, and the drunk men continued to listen to his nonsense. Uncle Feng strolled outside the restaurant, under the eaves, Yunjin and Hongdou were sitting side by side. "Madam, let me tell you a story." Hongdou reached out and tugged at Yunjin's sleeve. "OK." "Once upon a time, there was a pig who got a wheat seed from the Emperor of Heaven. This seed produced new seeds every month, and every time it produced two wheat seeds. The pig got the wheat seed and planted it happily. The wheat has gone. But Nine Heavens Xuannv said, the Emperor of Heaven is not good, this pig is going to get rich. The Emperor of Heaven asked why. Nine Heavens Xuannv said, I just calculated that this wheat seed will turn into two in one month, one It will become 4,096 in one year. The Emperor of Heaven said, but you see it has such a big belly, 4,096 is not enough for it to eat. Xuannv said, but in another year it will be 16,777,216, the next year will be 68,719,476,736, anyway, another fifty years , the wheat on the ground will be piled up to the gate of our Heavenly Palace, so that we don’t need the incense in the world, and we can eat the wheat directly. The Emperor of Heaven said, this is the end, and in another ten years, the Heavenly Palace will not be able to support the wheat. Is it getting higher and higher? Xuannv asked, what should I do then? The Emperor of Heaven said don’t be afraid, you tell the pig the result and then talk..." "Yes, then we can directly step on the wheat mountain to pick the moon." Feng Bo's eyes lit up, surprised by his whimsy. Hongdou was stunned for a moment, "The pig said the same thing in my story..." Feng Bo's happy expression froze on his face. "Ma'am, are you listening?" Hong Dou asked. "I'm listening," Yun Jin said, "but don't call me Madam, I'm not married yet." "But my wife will definitely marry a great hero in the future. She is a lady that everyone envies. I can tell fortunes." Hongdou said. When Yun Jin turned her head, she saw Chi You standing behind her holding a big pancake, looking at her, with the words "Are you hungry" written on his face.He has grown taller, with flying eyebrows and clear pupils, a straight nose bridge and firm lips. In a few years, this young man will become strong, as burly as his famous grandfather.Yunjin's heart beat, and her body burned for no reason. "Great hero?" she thought as she lowered her head. "Do you know fortune-telling?" She dispelled the blood on her face, ignored Chi You, and continued talking to Hongdou. "Madam, haven't you heard of it? Blind people know the future," Hong Dou said, "This is given to us by the Emperor of Heaven to make up for our lack of seeing light." Yun Jin gently stroked her face, thinking about what choice she would make if she had to choose between her eyes and knowing the future. "Eh? Little girl, are you trying to call me a pig?" Uncle Feng came to his senses. "Boss, you're not a pig! But can you stop humming loudly?" Chi You covered his mouth, "Here comes the trick!" A sharp ax slammed into the table in front of Gong Gong, causing the table to vibrate, and the soup in several dishes splashed everywhere.The men listening to the book around were so frightened that they all sobered up, and their faces were all blue. Only Gong Gong pointed at the ax and nodded, "Yes! The guy I used when I fought against the Yellow Emperor is as powerful as this one!" The general of the Xuanyuan clan holding the ax was stunned for a moment, "Don't play dumb, I received a report saying that you, a rebel, spread gossip in the wine shop, and dared to say that our king went to the toilet on Buzhou Mountain and slept with you , and then got beaten to the bum..." Gong Gong nodded sincerely, "I've said all this, but do you know that I also said the part where Xuanyuan Huangdi hugged my thigh and begged for mercy after losing?" "Do you think I don't know what you're talking about? There are our eyeliners everywhere in this city!" The general sneered and said, "You compiled a hundred and twenty chapters of storytelling, which contained all kinds of outrageous plots, saying that our king After losing the battle, you ran away, your pants were torn on the branches of Fusang trees, your helmet was thrown in the pigsty of Penglai, you fled to Baiyue in a hurry, and you hid in the dyeing workshop like a barbarian, but in the end you still saw it with your divine eyes It was pulled out. Our king had no choice but to hold your thigh and cry in vain, saying that my mother is still waiting for me to go back to farm... all kinds of things are unbearable!" The Yunshi guard behind him coughed in a low voice, "The general doesn't need to describe the details of this kind of traitor..." "Yes!" The general agreed, "In short, you have committed the crime of lying, so take your life!" "Hey, not only the crime of lying, I also committed the crime of cursing! I curse the king to die!" Gonggong said seriously. "Really?" "I said in the finale of the 120th chapter of the book, we fought fiercely above the clouds, the sky burst, and the lava outside the sky flowed down. Your king was afraid of death and wanted to run away. I chased him on a dragon and put the ax on the ground. On the short and thick neck of your great king, rebuke him for all his injustices!" Gonggong pulled the general's ax and put it on his neck and said, "That's it! Then I chopped off his head with one axe, heaven and earth cheer!" The general was a little puzzled, "You lunatic, are you really not afraid of death? Lying is already a serious crime, and cursing is even more unforgivable. Besides, saying that the king's neck is thick and short, he must be punished with hard labor!" Gonggong scratched his head, "I didn't even know that speaking ill of the Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu City was a crime of losing my head." The general snorted, "Do you regret it? It's too late!" Gong Gong touched the ax blade on his neck, looked at the roof of the wine shop and sighed, "Actually, I have compiled a book of 120 chapters, and I have never thought about the end of this book. If the writing is dead, I will be very happy, but the next morning I will watch the Yellow Emperor's dragon chariot patrolling Zhuolu City, and I will know it is fake, and I will be very sad. I want to say that the ending is that the Yellow Emperor defeated Although it is very real, but I am not happy, I really want to kill the Yellow Emperor." Chi You hid by the wall outside the restaurant and listened to Gonggong inside, feeling cold for no reason. "So I can only kill the Yellow Emperor every time, make up a reason to bring the Yellow Emperor back to life, and then fight him again." Gong Gong said seriously to the general, "If this continues, this book will be like my journey to Kunlun. It's been so long, why don't you help me end it." "How did it end?" The general scratched his head. "You play Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor," Gonggong said to the soldiers behind the general, "lend your bronze sword to the general." The general took the bronze sword, looked left and right, and experienced the feeling of the Yellow Emperor.He is still a young general, he has many expectations for the future, and sometimes imagines himself as majestic as a king. Gonggong took the tomahawk in his hand, "I'll play myself, if I strike you with the axe, and you chop off my head, I won't have a chance to be sad." The general was very surprised, "Are you really a lunatic? I'll chop off your head and you will die!" "They all said I was crazy." Gonggong said, "Please do me a favor and give me a chance." "If a lunatic commits the two crimes of lying and cursing, the crime is not worthy of death, you can think clearly." The young general felt a little pity for this guy. "I'm not a lunatic, you are the lunatics!" Gong Gong suddenly became arrogant, and gas came out of his nostrils. You detail! It was in the west of the Great Wilderness. The Yellow Emperor and I had just escaped from the belly of the Eight-Different Spirit Snake and cut it in two. The blood of the snake was sprinkled on us, and our skills increased by three hundred years each. We each rode the dragon Ascension." He raised his head and said with a sigh: "At this time the sky... began to collapse, and we all knew that we were going to die, but the enmity between the Xuanyuan Ministry and the Gonggong Ministry will never be resolved, we have to kill our opponents before we die Only in this way can we relieve hatred, so we liberated our whole body's skills and started the final decisive battle." The heroes of the Knife Hilt Society were in a trance for a while, and everyone in the restaurant was also silent.They all knew that they were listening to a lunatic, but the lunatic's voice was like a prehistoric wind blowing from an ancient pottery xun, bringing a battlefield, the battlefield was filled with clouds and fog, and the sky was filled with blood clouds. Two people fought fiercely in the clouds, At this time, the world will collapse and the world will be extinct. "I slashed at Huangdi's neck with an axe. On the axe was Sheng Ye's glory, and Huangdi blocked it with a sword." The general watched the ax swing slowly, and unconsciously swung his sword across. "You Huangdi's swordsmanship is superb, and he slashed back at me when he turned his body." Gonggong dodged lightly, as if dancing, "Using his life's strength." The general slashed at Gong Gong's face with his sword, and the movements of both of them were slow and light, like a grand social drama. "I was determined to risk my life to fight the Yellow Emperor, so I tilted my head, with a roundness and aura all over my body, I didn't hesitate to shoulder the sword of the Yellow Emperor, pumped Lengzi and used the ax from bottom to top... a stroke!" Gonggong's The voice suddenly became louder, "This is a dirty trick!" The general's sword fell on Gong Gong's shoulder, and he was startled when he heard Gong Gong say, "But I didn't expect the Emperor of Heaven to give the Yellow Emperor the Nine-Dragon Sacred Armor. The Yellow Emperor wore it under his battle clothes, making him invulnerable. You know, the Emperor of Heaven is never right. Our Ministry of Gonggong has a good face, because people in our tribe, just like me, like drinking and bragging..." As soon as the general dodged, the ax only slowly brushed against his armor, and his hand involuntarily cut into Gong Gong's shoulder, and blood gushed out along the blade. "Hey, yes, that's it. I'm in a terrible situation now." Gonggong grabbed the general's sword with one hand, and slowly and powerfully cut it diagonally from his left shoulder, and the sword edge cut into his chest. Chi You watched so much blood pouring out of a person, his mind went blank. There was only one time before that he saw so much blood, and that was also a person with messy hair like a lion. head.He was stunned, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and he was shivering. Everyone was also shocked.Gong Gong's mournful voice represented the pain of the tragic hero in his story. The sword cut a two-foot-long wound in his heart, and the blood stained his skirt. "Hey! Gonggong, you're so good! Even though we were defeated by our king, I will do my best to cheer you up!" A man waved his hands excitedly. There was warm applause from all around, and Gonggong let go of the general's sword and retreated step by step. The general was a little uninterested, and felt that it was ridiculous to spend time playing this game with this madman.Gonggong leaned against a pillar and panted heavily, his eyes gradually turning the color of death. "Then you died?" the general said, "Then let's put you to death." "No, I'm not dead yet." Gonggong wiped the blood from his chest and smeared the blood on his face, "The ending of the story can't be like this...the last Gonggong in the world can't die like this... ..." "I will cut!" His expression suddenly twisted ferociously, he rushed forward, roaring, the shadow of the ax was like a rainbow, "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, die!" On his mad face, the demon woke up.
