Chapter 27 fourth day kill

Time: At the beginning of noon, the first moment (according to today's time, it should be 11:15 in the morning). Location: Yu Xing Wu Ya Restaurant. An unrivaled torrential rain, like a thousand arrows fired at once, leaving no gaps and no way to escape.This earth-shattering torrential rain was dauntingly heavy. God must have tried his best. In another thousand years, there should be no greater rain than this time.The rain finally stopped, but the sky was still overcast.Looking down at the earth sternly, as if there is still more to say, the earth is floating in the rain, undulating and swaying.

Guanyin Alley, a dilapidated alley with back streets, flooded the narrow paths between the alleys.Only a row of stones protruding from the water can allow passengers to step on.The houses on both sides of the alley were also dilapidated.At the door of every household, there are pots and jars filled with rainwater.Through the decayed window, I saw the people inside sitting in the corner, depressed and silent. Even the most prosperous capital city has such corners that are deliberately forgotten.There are also people who can think, walk and die here, but no one cares about their fate.Miserable circumstances make a life seem longer, and although they lose hope, they still retain enough patience.

Water accumulated all the way to the knees, and some people were barefoot, with their trousers rolled up to the bottom of their thighs. They came and went calmly, neither complaining nor delighting.The innocent children rushed out of the gloomy home excitedly and had a water fight with their friends. An older child pushed a child who was half a head shorter than him into the water. The child tried his best to stand up from the water, but was pushed down again. The child simply sat in the water and cried loudly.The adults sighed and sighed in the house, and paid no attention to the children's frolic, who would not get up from their comfortable and sad chairs as long as they were not killed.

A pair of slender plain hands and a handkerchief as white as snow, the two combined into one, gently wiped away the tears of the child in the water, the child looked up and saw a beautiful young woman, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.He opened his eyes wide and mumbled his mouth, wanting to say something, but lacked enough courage. The woman smiled kindly and said, "Do you want to talk?" The child was encouraged, and then he said the words lingering in his mouth: "Who are you?" "What do you think?" "Are you a fairy in the sky?" "no."

"Then you must be a vixen." The woman smiled brightly like a summer flower, and said, "Why?" "Adults say that vixens are very beautiful women, but they are also very bad, and they specialize in seducing men." The woman smiled more and more happily, and said: "Don't worry, you are still too young, even if I am a vixen, I will not come to seduce you." The child was silent, as if disappointed by this. The woman said: "Go home quickly and change your clothes, or you will get sick." The woman took out a lot of candies from her pocket and put them in the child's hands, and the child went away happily.The woman beckoned to the bad kid hiding under the eaves again, and said, "Come here, too."

The bad boy hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, pretending to be ready to run away at any time. The woman also gave him a lot of candies and said, "Do you know why you have candies?" The bad boy shook his head in a daze. He was afraid that the beautiful woman in front of him would change his mind. As soon as he got the candy, he peeled one and put it in his mouth. The woman said: "In this way, everyone will have candy to eat, so you don't have to grab that kid's candy. Go ahead." As soon as the bad boy ran away, the third son appeared.He sighed, and said to the woman: "Xin'er, do you think this will save the candy of the child who was beaten just now?"

Ning Xin'er replied: "Of course, everyone has candy to eat, so they won't go grab other people's candy." The third son said: "But, the candy must be eaten after all. What should I do if I still want to eat it after eating it? I have to grab it." "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Where can there be such a bad child?" The third young master smiled slightly and said, "You always think of people too kindly." Ning Xin'er retorted, saying: "You always think of people as bad as you, full of conspiracy and schemes. I still believe that there are far more good people than bad people in this world."

"People's hearts are so close, how can it be clear whether it is good or evil. I know a person, and I don't know if he is a good person or a bad person, but his cooking is the best in the world. Even the chef of the imperial dining room, In front of him, I can only bow down, I brought you here just to give you a real treat." Ning Xin'er looked at the dilapidated alley again, and asked hesitantly, "Is this the kind of place where the best chef in the world lives?" The third son said: "Don't underestimate this dilapidated alley, in the eyes of gourmets in the capital, this is the Penglai Wonderland, the Western Paradise of Paradise." Ning Xin'er stuck out her tongue, expressing serious doubts.

While talking, the two arrived at a small restaurant. A wine cover that had already faded in the wind and rain was soaked in rainwater and drooped into a ball. The three-inch high threshold was worn to the extreme, the door frame was crooked, and the signboard was hanging upside down. Blocking the door, you will hit your head if you are not careful, and no one will come to straighten it. There are four big characters written on the signboard: Yu Xing Wuya. Ning Xin'er tilted her head and said, "The calligraphy on this signboard looks so familiar." The third young master lowered his head and whispered, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's my handwriting."

Ning Xin'er smiled and said: "In my opinion, your thick skin is the best in the world. Although your handwriting is clumsy and wretched, you are not ashamed, but proud of it. You always like to show off everywhere. To be honest, for the sake of If people are willing to hang up your characters, how much money do you give to the store?" The third young master lowered his head even more, and said: "There is no upside down." "So the shopkeeper paid you to polish your pen?" "No, it's just a small meal for Bai Guan." Ning Xin'er was very satisfied with the humble attitude of the third son.She said, "I'm going in, Cao Xiaosan."

The third young master hurried forward and raised the signboard.After Ning Xin'er calmly crossed the threshold, the third young master followed suit.The signboard left the support of the hand, swayed back and forth, and made a creaking sound, which lasted for a long time. The small restaurant looks exactly the same, the facade is shabby, and the inside is also very simple and small, with eight square tables, it looks crowded.The seven square tables were already full of diners, and there were three or four guests standing behind each table, waiting for a seat to become vacant, and they could only swallow their saliva as they watched other people feasting.The table in the corner with the best position was unoccupied.I don't know why it's empty. Seeing a guest coming to the door, the young man rushed to greet him, halfway through, his eyes widened, he quickly turned back, and entered a small door. Ning Xin'er asked: "Why didn't he greet us, instead he hid like a little wife?" "He didn't hide, but went in and asked the boss to come out so that he could entertain us." Ning Xin'er said: "I can't see it, it's quite a big face for you to ask the boss to receive you in person." The third young master said with a bitter face, "Actually, I'm all under your honor." Ning Xin'er smiled happily, and said: "Don't say what you mean, I know that I am in your favor, I just want to rely on you, bully you for the rest of my life, and you won't be allowed to complain." The boss hurried out from the kitchen, wiping the grease from his hands with his apron as he walked.This is a sturdy man, about forty years old, with a red face, a short and thick neck, a pregnant woman's belly, and a bald forehead, which is very bright, and it is no problem to use it as a mirror.As soon as the boss showed up, he was like the headliner of the troupe, and immediately won applause from the audience.The diners knocked on the bowls with chopsticks, slapped the table with their palms, and shouted wildly in their mouths, paying tribute to the chef who was hidden in the grass.The huge sound wave made people worry that it would burst the narrow space. The prospective diners who were standing and waiting for a seat all remained silent in unison: they were hungry and had no strength; they were tired of standing and had no mood. The boss clasped his fists, greeted everyone with a smile on his face, and turned around to tell the staff: "Add a bowl of wine to each guest, and it will be charged to my account." There was another burst of applause from the roof. The boss walked up to the third son, rubbed his hands awkwardly, and suddenly noticed his greasy apron, the redness on his face deepened, almost purple, he quickly took off the apron, and threw it to the boy beside him.That tense and embarrassed appearance was completely different from the bold and forthright man who was enjoying the support of many diners in high spirits just now, as if a poor man with nothing but four walls suddenly ushered in a distinguished guest who was admired all over the world at home. The third young master smiled gently and said, "Boss Zhang, why should he be so uneasy." Boss Zhang said: "The young master is here, Zhang is afraid that the hospitality will not be good, and the young master appreciates the honor, Zhang is very grateful. This dilapidated tavern of Zhang is not worthy of the wrong love of the young master." The third son said: "Boss Zhang is too polite, I am the same as everyone who comes here, I am here for Boss Zhang's superb cooking skills." Boss Zhang shook his head stubbornly, and said: "Young Master, how can you be like them? It's completely different, very different." The third son interrupted his soliloquy and said, "Boss Zhang, today I brought you a new guest." Boss Zhang raised his head and glanced at Ning Xin'er, then immediately looked away, bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Zhang is a man of the grass and doesn't know how to behave, please forgive me." He patted his bald head, With a crisp sound, he said, "I've been patronizing and chatting here. Young master, after receiving your letter yesterday, I reserved my seat for you early today. Please follow me." He led the two of them to the He sat down at the empty table in the corner, and he stood in front of the table, staring at the shiny tabletop that had been scrubbed countless times, mustering up all his courage, and said, "My lord, there are no lake fish today, only river fish." .” The third son said: "Could it be that the lake fish are all sold out?" Boss Zhang said: "No. If there are fish in the lake, Zhang must prepare them first for you. You also know Zhang's old rules that have been unshakable for many years. Every morning, he sails to the West Lake and casts only one net. If there is a lot of fishing, return to the voyage immediately. In my shop, there is absolutely no fish stored overnight, but Zhang did not go out to fish today. Because someone poisoned the West Lake this morning. A large number of fish and shrimp were poisoned and floated on the water. , has been caught and snatched up by people. If the heads of these poisoned fish are removed and the internal organs are cleaned, they are still edible. Every year, some short-lived fishermen secretly poison the lake in an attempt to get something for nothing. The surface of the West Lake It is also common to see dead fish floating on the lake, but this is the first time Zhang has encountered such a spectacular scene in the early morning of this morning after he has been fishing in the West Lake for decades. This time, the poisoner spent a lot of money to kill this Tens of thousands of fish, at least two to three hundred catties of poison. These scum, don't want to fish well, and use this wicked trick to ruin our reputation for fishing. The fish are poisoned, and the water in the West Lake is also poisoned .Half of the people in our capital drink water from the West Lake. The water is unpalatable. How can we live? Fortunately, it rained heavily today, and every household can still receive some rainwater for daily use. People who do this kind of thing But it’s a big crime. In order to catch a few more fish, so many innocent people have been implicated. Do business with a conscience. Zhang will never catch this kind of West Lake fish that has been poisoned and sell it to customers. Today The only ones that can be sold are river fish caught from the Qiantang River. The meat of river fish is rough and tastes woody, not as fine as lake fish. An expert like the young master can tell the difference as soon as he eats it. Zhang explained in advance and dared not hide it. Please The son punishes." "It doesn't matter if it's river fish, just cook it and add a few side dishes." Boss Zhang was very grateful, bowed again and again, with a relieved smile on his face.Boss Zhang was about to retreat, Ning Xin'er called him to stop him, and said: "Boss Zhang, I don't understand one thing, the four words written on the signboard at the entrance of your store, Yu Xing Wuya, what do you refer to?" Boss Zhang scratched his head shyly. There was no hair on his head, so he had nothing to scratch.He replied: "These four characters are given by the young master. It is more appropriate for the girl to ask the young master for explanation. If Zhang explains it for her, it is inevitable that she will be suspected of selling melons by Wang Po." Boss Zhang greeted the diners all the way and entered the kitchen. Ning Xin'er asked: "Cao Xiaosan, please explain these four words." "I don't want to explain." "So you want to be punished?" The third son begged for forgiveness, and said, "It's actually very simple. These four words describe how shocking the taste of the fish cooked by Boss Zhang is. For example, you are a fish..." "You are a fish." Ning Xin'er shot back. The third son said: "Okay, as you wish, I am a fish. I was cooked by Boss Zhang, and I brought it up and put it in front of you. I am full of fragrance and attractive appearance. You fell in love with me at first sight, and you want to kill me right away." I eat it, but I have the same thoughts as you, and I want to eat myself too. Unfortunately, as a fish, I sadly found that I have no teeth. I am destined not to eat myself, which is cheap for you, you side While eating me happily, I thought: Fortunately, this fish has no teeth, otherwise, before I could move my chopsticks, it must have eaten itself to the bone.” Ning Xin'er smiled and said: "You are not a fish, you know what a fish wants." The third son said: "You are not a fish, but you know what a fish doesn't want." The two looked at each other, smiled, and bickered, which was both the prelude and the finale of the kiss. Somebody looked sideways at them, not one but many. They are always customers, so how can these two occupy such a big table?But other diners can only share a table with others, with their legs squeezed together, meat for meat, and they are always worried that other people's saliva will fall into their plates.From the appearance alone, it is only natural that Third Young Master Cao and Ning Xin'er occupy a table alone, these two don't look like they would share a table with others.Even Boss Zhang humbled himself in front of them and was careful to flatter him. It seems that he has a lot of background.Although these diners have suffered unfair treatment, after weighing it over, they all forbear it. It was not the first time that Ning Xin'er was stared at by everyone.So accept it calmly.Until she saw a person in the crowd, and that person was looking at her coldly, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. The man was a scholar, and his long robe was washed white, with a few large patches.A pair of cloth shoes were soaked by rain on the way here, and a backpack was placed under his feet.He was about the same age as the third son, and was standing behind a thin old man, eagerly waiting for an empty seat. Ning Xin'er motioned to the third young master and said, "Look, that person." The third young master glanced at the scholar and asked, "Why do you want me to see him?" Ning Xin'er said: "His eyes are staring at me intently, making me extremely uncomfortable." The third young master clenched his fist and said in a harsh voice: "This man must have taken the medicine of immortality, so he dared to seek death in front of me without fear." Ning Xin'er took the third young master's arm and said, "Don't scare me, He just took a look at it, and he is not guilty of death." The third young master patted Ning Xin'er's hand and said: "I have my own measure." Then he said to the scholar, "My dear brother, please." The scholar turned his face to the third young master indifferently, and said, "What can I ask for advice?" "I don't know if my dear friend wants to have dinner with me at the same table?" "Not interested in." "But you've been standing for a long time and don't want to sit down and rest for a while?" "Yes, but definitely not at the same table as you." "Oh, so you and I have a feud at the same table?" "No, I disdain to be at the same table with you." The third young master stretched out his hand and pretended to wipe away his tears. He seemed distraught, but he returned to normal in an instant, and said calmly, "Although you don't know me, you despise me." "It seems that you are not too stupid." Ning Xin'er clung to the third young master's ear, and said softly: "It seems that you are right, this person is looking for death." The third young master smiled and said: "The good show has just begun. I have a hunch that this scholar will rush over soon, pointing at my nose and yelling, he will also slap the table and throw the bench, making a lot of noise. You must keep calm Keep calm, don't blink your eyes, and watch how he pretends to be crazy." Ning Xin'er used her palm as a knife and pressed it against the third young master's neck, saying: "You are talking nonsense again, you should be killed." But the scholar really rushed over just as the third son expected, and slammed the table with his skinny palm like chicken feet.Kicking over the empty bench in front of him, pointing his fingers impartially at the nose of the third son, he cursed loudly: "Hey, you are a scum of the world, you should fall into the evil of Avii Hell, spend your days drinking and drinking, Intoxicated with money, disregarding etiquette and shame, doing good but not doing evil, bullying the market, fish and meat people, corrupting the law, robbing people's daughters, suffering from flower and willow disease, having bayberry sores on the head, how many wives and wives you have caused, how many families have been destroyed, You force your good into prostitution, you have lost your conscience, you rob your house and rob your house, and use your strength to show off your strength. I wish I could squeeze your tendons, peel your skin, goug out your eyes, gouge out your heart, pull out your tongue, and eat your flesh. I will not kill you. It’s not enough to anger the common people, and it’s not enough to stop the wrath of heaven if you don’t kill you…” Ning Xin'er whispered to the third young master, "Did he admit the wrong person?" The third young master smiled and said: "He did not admit the wrong person. There is no other in the world who is as handsome and handsome as I am." Then he said to the scholars, "Curse nothing but scold. You have to be more careful, and be careful of your spraying." The saliva splashed on me." The scholar asked, "Did it splash on you?" The third young master gestured and said: "Several times it was a slight difference. Fortunately, I am very strong in martial arts and escaped by luck." The scholar cupped his fists and said, "I'm really sorry, then I'll stand back a little." After finishing speaking, he took a small step back and continued to curse: "Hey, you traitorous villain, you serious person You are a filthy traitor who loves friends, you are a swindling street scoundrel, you are a flower picker who walks through walls and rooms, you are a desperado who kills and steals goods, you are a groveling and cartilage slave, you are a low-spirited scum, you This shady villain with a knife hidden in his smile. Yay, I wish I could smash your corpse into thousands of pieces and throw your bones into ashes. Please enter the urn and cook in a cauldron. All the tortures in the world will not be able to dispel the hatred in my heart." The third young master smiled and said, "Have you finished scolding?" The scholar was surprised and said: "You are not angry? Don't you want to beat me, a poor scholar who has never lived with you and has no strength to restrain a chicken, to wash your innocence in front of everyone? For you in this To save face in front of the girl?" The third young master smiled slightly and said, "That's absolutely unnecessary." The scholar struggled to climb up the table, and condescendingly scolded: "You are as cowardly as a mouse, shrinking your head like a turtle, even I dare to bully you, what's the point of your life in this world? In order not to be ashamed and make people laugh everywhere." The third son's expression was still calm and calm, and said: "You should come down quickly, Boss Zhang will take your life with a knife." Sure enough, Boss Zhang was carrying a three-inch-thick, two-foot-long bone-crushing knife, his eyes wide open, his veins exposed, like a whirlwind sweeping towards him, the scholar was taken away by the turbulent momentum, his face was ashen, his whole body trembled, and he squatted down. On the table, put your head in your hands. Boss Zhang picked up the scholar easily and put him back on the ground.The scholar's legs were as soft as noodles, and he couldn't stand steadily. Most of his body was leaning on Boss Zhang's arms.Boss Zhang put his head on the edge of the table, lifted his collar, exposed his neck, which he said was black or white, and said angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to make trouble in Laozi's shop. I offended my most honored guest and said, how many lives do you have? If you have one life, I will cut you once; if you have ten lives, I will cut you ten; if you have more than ten lives, I will kill you You will be cut to pieces." The scholar pleaded: "The little one knows his mistake, please forgive me." "It's useless for you to beg me. You should beg the young master you scolded just now." The scholar burst into tears, salivating and pleading to the third young master: "Young master, please forgive me." The third son said: "Boss Zhang, the death row prisoner still has a full meal before he is executed. This man has been here for a long time, and he hasn't touched a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice. He must be starving. Wait until he has enough to eat, and then go to bed." It's not too late to chop off his head." Boss Zhang threw the scholar ten feet away, and said, "You wait for me slowly and wait for your seat." After speaking, he apologized to the third son thousands of times, and greeted the diners who hid far away Go back to everyone, continue to eat, and add another bowl of wine to each diner, which is regarded as a shock, but the account is put on the head of the scholar.
