Chapter 7 The Seventh Songhua River

A big water tank is indeed a big water tank, and a real big water tank at the same time. Lu Xiaofeng has lived for twenty or thirty years, but he has never seen such a big water tank. In fact, if he hadn't come here, even if he lived another two or three hundred years, he wouldn't be able to see such a big water tank. This water tank is at least two feet high, and it looks like a round house or a round tent, but it is a water tank, because it has neither door nor window, but there is It is open, and there is a rope hanging from it. The old goat had already climbed up by pulling the rope, and was waving to him, saying, "Can you come up?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What am I going to do? I'm not Sima Guang, even if I want to drink water, I don't need to climb into such a big water tank." Although he was muttering, he still went up. There was no water in the tank, not even a drop. There is only wine in the water tank, and a big sheepskin bag is filled with burning knives that you are guaranteed to choke on tears if you take a sip. The old goat took a big gulp, and his eyes became brighter. The bottom of the water tank was filled with all kinds of animal skins in a mess. Holding the big wine bag, he sat down comfortably and said, "Have you ever seen such a big water tank?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "No." The old goat said: "Have you seen me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not at all." The old goat said: "But I seem to have seen you before." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" The old goat said: "You are Uncle Jia, Jia Leshan?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." The old goat suddenly smiled, shook his head, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You are not." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm not Jia Leshan?" The old goat said: "Absolutely not." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then who am I?" The old goat said: "It doesn't matter if you are Zhang San or Li Si, I only know that you are definitely not Jia Leshan, because I met that old bastard once before."

Lu Xiaofeng also laughed. He didn't want to laugh at first, but he couldn't help it. He suddenly felt that the old man was very interesting. The old goat looked him up and down, and seemed to think he was very interesting, anyone who met Lu Xiaofeng usually thought he was very interesting. Lu Xiaofeng said: "I would like to invite..." The old goat suddenly interrupted him and said: "Li Xia is a weird person, and Boss Ding is even weirder. In order to like to drink rootless water, he even sold his land and house. It took more than two years to make such two big waters." The tank is only for drinking rainwater in summer."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Boss Ding is Li Xia's former husband?" The old goat nodded and said: "Although Li Xia is gone now, she has never left this place. I can guarantee that she is still hiding in the town. If you want to ask me where she is hiding, I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng said: "How do you know I'm here to inquire about these things?" The old goat said: "Aren't you?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You already know who I am?" The old goat said: "I don't need to know, and I don't want to know, no matter who you are, it has nothing to do with me."

He narrowed his eyes again, with a treacherous smile in his eyes, and continued: "I don't think you're annoying, so I'll bring you here and tell you these things. If you want to inquire about anything else You'd better find someone else." But Lu Xiaofeng asked again: "You said there were originally two such water tanks?" The old goat said: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is there another one?" The old goat said: "I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Other things, you don't know anything?" The old goat sighed and said, "I'm already old, so old that I almost forgot my first and last name. There are many young people in the town, and there are also many young girls. No matter what news you ask, you should ask them. .”

He closed his eyes, took another sip of wine, and lay down comfortably, as if he had made up his mind that he would never look at Lu Xiaofeng again, never say a word to Lu Xiaofeng again. Lu Xiaofeng laughed again: "You know that I am not Jia Leshan, you know that I know Boss Ding's daughter, so when I mentioned her name, you are not surprised at all, you even know that Li Xia has not left, but you keep saying You don't know anything." He shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that Xin's second son is right. You really shouldn't be called an old goat. You are really an old fox."

The old goat also laughed, and suddenly winked at him, saying: "It doesn't matter if you meet my old fox, I just hope you don't meet another vixen again." The small wine shop opened by Tang Keqing is called "No Drunk No Return Little Restaurant". Although it had been dark for a long time, the night was still not deep. When Lu Xiaofeng went back, the street was still brightly lit, and this small restaurant was still open. This wine shop doesn't look bad, and the proprietress looks even better, but for some reason, it's always deserted inside, and there's not a single customer in sight.

So the first thing Lu Xiaofeng saw was this big girl who was not too pretty but had a charming smile. She was still standing under the wooden signboard of "Taibai Legacy" and looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile, as if deliberately Just waiting for him here. Her smile is not only a temptation, but also an invitation. Lu Xiaofeng would never refuse this kind of invitation, not to mention that he always believed that girls who can laugh must be better at talking, and girls who can talk must be easier to reveal other people's secrets. So he also smiled and walked over slowly, not knowing how to strike up a conversation, Tang Keqing spoke first instead: "I heard that you have already bought Tianchang Restaurant?"

Lu Xiaofeng really laughed: "The news spreads so fast in this place!" Tang Keqing said: "This is a small place, and big people like you are not common." She smiled so sweetly that she looked like a vixen. Lu Xiaofeng coughed lightly twice, and said: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return. Anyone who drinks here must be drunk?" Tang Keqing said sweetly: "Yes, anyone who comes here to drink is a turtle if he is not drunk." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What if you're drunk?" Tang Keqing said: "Drunk is like bastard." Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said: "So people who come here to drink, if they don't want to be turtles, they have to be bastards. It's no wonder no one dares to come to your door."

Tang Keqing glanced at him from the corner of her eyes with a smile, and said, "But you have already entered my door." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I..." Tang Keqing said: "You have already bought the restaurant, but you still come here to drink. You are neither afraid of being a turtle nor a bastard. Why are you?" She smiled sweeter, more like a vixen. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly found his heart moved again, couldn't help but take her hand, and said, "Guess what I'm doing for?" Tang Keqing's eyes moved, and she said, "Could it be that you are after me?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't deny it, and couldn't deny it, he had already held her hand tightly. Her hands are beautiful and soft, but cold. Lu Xiaofeng said: "As long as you are willing to drink with me, whether you want me to be drunk or not, it's up to you." Tang Keqing smiled charmingly: "So I want you to be a turtle or a bastard, you agree?" Lu Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes, and said, "That depends on whether you agree or not?" Tang Keqing blushed and said, "You have to let go of my hand first, and let me get you the wine." Lu Xiaofeng's heart was already beating. He is a very healthy man, he has been holding back for a long time recently, and this time he has a good reason to forgive himself - I am not really so lustful, but in order to inquire about information, I have to use "beautiful boy" Count". When he put down her hand, he had already started to fantasize in his heart——in the dead of night, both of them were already drunk... Who knew that at this moment, Tang Keqing suddenly raised her hand and slapped him across the face. Of course this slap didn't really slap him on the face, Lu Xiaofeng was still taken aback. "What are you doing?" "What am I doing?" Tang Keqing sneered and said with a livid face, "I was just about to ask you, what are you doing? What kind of person do you think I am? Do you think you can bully me if you have a few bad money? Woman? Tell you, I only sell alcohol here, nothing else. " The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and finally she stomped her feet and cursed: "Get out, get out, and if you dare to come to my door next time, see if I don't break your dog legs with a stick." Lu Xiaofeng was stunned by the scolding, but he understood in his heart why even ghosts didn't visit this place. It turned out that although this woman looked like honey, she was actually a chili pepper, and she also had a strange problem, a problem that specially liked to abuse men, and she was only happy when she saw men suffer.So she always stood at the door, seducing passing men, and when the man fell on her hook, she could hold the man in the palm of her hand and squeeze him half to death like a mosquito. There must be quite a few men in this place who have been tortured and beaten by her. Lu Xiaofeng is considered lucky, and finally he was able to walk out intact. Fortunately, there were no people outside. In this place where the dripping water turns into ice, no one would come to hang out on the street. When Lu Xiaofeng walked in, he looked like a lecherous tycoon, but when he walked out, he looked like an idiot. "Women..." He sighed and moaned in his heart, "Why are there so many terrible women in this world?" Before he had time to think about what it would be like if there were no women in this world, he heard a scream. The screams came from the herbal medicine shop opposite, and it was a man's voice. When Lu Xiaofeng rushed over, the thin and indifferent Leng Hong'er was pressing a big man on the chair, pinching his shoulder with one hand, twisting his arm with the other, and asked coldly Said: "Where did you twist the tendon? Where did the bone go wrong? Tell me!" The man bared his teeth and grinned, "I...I didn't." Leng Hong'er said: "Then what are you doing here? Do you want to pinch my tendons and loosen my bones?" The man could only nod, neither denying nor daring to deny. Leng Hong'er sneered, and suddenly raised her hand, the big man was thrown out the door like a small ball, and fell onto the cold, hard and slippery icy floor with a "thud". This time he was really sprained from the fall and had a wrong bone, but he had no choice but to go home and find his wife to vent his anger. Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly in his heart, this time he really couldn't tell whether it was this man who was wrong?Or is there something wrong with this woman? Leng Hong'er stood opposite him, looked at him coldly, and said, "Are you also sick and want to come to me for treatment?" Lu Xiaofeng forced a smile, turned around and left. "Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy." He suddenly found that the women in this place were not to be messed with. Who knows that when he doesn't provoke others, others will provoke him instead. Leng Hong'er suddenly blocked his way, and said: "What are you doing here? Why don't you speak?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, "Why do I have to talk?" Leng Hong'er bit her lip, stared at him, and said: "Actually, I know it even if you don't tell me, you must think that I am a cold, fierce, and flawed woman." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I didn't think so." This time he was lying, he really thought so in his heart. Leng Hong'er was still biting her lip, staring at him, in a pair of icy eyes, suddenly two tears rolled out like pearls. How could a woman like her cry?Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback again: "What are you doing?" Leng Hong'er lowered her head and said with tears: "It's nothing, I... I just feel very uncomfortable." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Uncomfortable?" ——You beat others up and crawled all over the ground, and you still feel uncomfortable?What about the person who was beaten? Of course Leng Hong'er couldn't hear what he was thinking, and said again: "You are from another place, you don't know what kind of men here are, they see me living here alone, they always think of everything The method is to bully me and insult me." When she was crying, she seemed to become smaller and weaker, without even a trace of her fierce and indifferent appearance, she was indeed like a little girl who had suffered all kinds of grievances. She went on to say: "If I am bullied by them once, I will never be able to be a human being again, because instead of blaming them, other people will say that I attract others, so I have no choice but to act coldly. But in the dead of night, I... and..." She didn't go on, and didn't have to go on. In the dead of night, staying alone in an empty room, she would understand the feeling of desolation and loneliness, even without mentioning Lu Xiaofeng. He suddenly felt that the petite and weak girl standing in front of him was not only not scary, but pitiful. Leng Hong'er quietly wiped away her tears, as if trying to force a smile, said: "Actually, we have never met before, I shouldn't have said such things in front of a stranger." Lu Xiaofeng immediately said: "It's okay, I also have a lot of things on my mind, sometimes I want to find a stranger to tell him." Leng Hong'er raised her head, looked up at him, and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me?" The tears on her face were not dry yet, standing in front of him, she looked even smaller and weaker. Even if Lu Xiaofeng wanted to leave, he couldn't. ——Is it not always more difficult to refuse an invitation with tears than an invitation with a smile? The steaming sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage hot pot is just right for bamboo leaf green. "I brought this wine from another place before, and I have always been reluctant to drink it." The tears on Leng Hong'er's face had dried up, she was setting the table, serving wine and dishes, she looked like a busy little sparrow. "Every night, I have to drink a little wine alone. I don't drink well, but I can only fall asleep when I am drunk." Then she confessed to Lu Xiaofeng: "Sometimes I can't sleep even if I'm drunk. At that time, I ran out, sat on the glacier, and waited for the dawn. Once I even saw a bear. At least I thought it was a bear." It's a bear, and it's covered with thick, bristly black fur." She really didn't drink well, after drinking two glasses of wine, her face turned red. Lu Xiaofeng looked at her and sighed in his heart, it's really a miserable thing for such a girl to sit alone on the glacier and watch the black bear. Just when he began to feel sorry for her, her hand happened to be in front of him. So he took her hand. Her hands were small and soft, and they were hot. The room is as warm as spring, and there are still a few wintersweet sticks in the bottle on the table. The cold wind is howling outside the window, and the window is closed tightly. Her heart was beating, beating very fast. Before Lu Xiaofeng figured out what was going on, she had already fallen into his arms, her petite and soft body was like a ball of fire, but her lips were cold, cool, fragrant and soft. Until a long time later, Lu Xiaofeng still couldn't figure out how this happened. "What happened that day?" someone asked him later. "Strictly speaking, nothing happened." Lu Xiaofeng had to admit, "That's not because I'm a gentleman, but because..." Because just when things were about to happen, they suddenly heard a burst of applause. "At this moment, someone actually applauded you?" People who heard the story later always found it funny: "It must be because you performed so well." Lu Xiaofeng also couldn't deny that the round of applause really surprised them, in fact, both of them jumped up and knocked over the hot pot on the table. "Who is applauding?" "It's a big bastard, a big bastard in a red robe and a green hat." Li Shentong was standing at the door, looking at them with a smile: "Don't stop, you two, I haven't watched such a wonderful show for many years, as long as you let me watch it again , I will definitely treat you to candy tomorrow." There were no dirty words in these words, but Lu Xiaofeng had never heard such disgusting words in his life. He almost couldn't help rushing over, and slapped this half-truth and half-fake lunatic fiercely. He didn't rush over because Leng Hong'er had already rushed over first, and this petite and weak woman suddenly turned into a hunk again. A she-wolf, vicious and vicious. Lu Xiaofeng knew that she knew martial arts, but he didn't expect her martial arts to be very good. Her strikes were swift and fierce, and in the hands of the seventy-two little capturers, she also possessed the technique of splitting muscles and bones.No matter where on Li Shentong's body, as long as she grabs her, it is guaranteed that two sounds can be heard immediately - the sound of bones breaking and the screams like killing a pig. But Li Shentong didn't even let her touch the corner of his clothes. His drawings may be poor and his clothes ridiculous, but his martial arts are anything but funny. Even Lu Xiaofeng had to admit that no matter where this person's martial arts goes, he can be regarded as a top-notch master. Why would such a person hide under his sister's skirt like an idiot, and be dragged around by others?Why not venture into the world by yourself? Could it be that his sister's martial arts are better than his? Lu Xiaofeng raised his head, happened to see Li Shentong's hand move away from Leng Hong'er's chest. Then Leng Hong'er rushed out, and after rushing to the door, her bitter cry sounded outside the door. Lu Xiaofeng felt a burst of anger welling up, his fists were clenched tightly, he was determined to teach this person a good lesson. Li Shentong was still smiling, shaking his hands and laughing: "You can't come here, I know I can't beat you, I know who you are." Lu Xiaofeng said with a sullen face, "You know?" Li Shentong smiled and said: "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. Even if you grow more beard, it's useless, I still know that you are the Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows." Lu Xiaofeng stopped in his tracks and was stunned. He has been here for less than two hours, and he only saw five people, and all five of them surprised him. It seems that the people in this place are not simple at all. easy. Li Shentong smiled even more happily, and said again: "But you just need to rest assured, I will never expose this secret, because we are on the same road, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Lu Xiaofeng was even more surprised: "You knew I would come?" Li Shentong said: "Blue Beard said that he would definitely find you. I have always believed what he said." Lu Xiaofeng finally understood, and he also remembered what Blue Beard said: "Even if you can't find it, someone will take you there... Once you get there, someone will contact you." Li Shentong said with a smile: "You must never have imagined that I would betray my sister and become a spy for Blue Beard." Lu Xiaofeng said coldly: "But I'm not too surprised. Is there anything a person like you can't do?" Li Shentong actually sighed, and said: "When you meet my precious sister, you will know why I did such a thing." Lu Xiaofeng said: "How can I see her?" Li Shentong said: "There is only one way." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What method?" Li Shentong said: "Hurry up and send those boxes you brought." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't know where she is hiding?" Li Shentong said: "I don't know either." He sighed and said with a wry smile: "Except for the white silver and the yellow gold, she doesn't even recognize her relatives." Lu Xiaofeng stared at him for a full cup of tea, then suddenly asked: "Do you want to be beaten?" Of course Li Shentong didn't want to. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then you should quickly eat all these things on the ground, as long as I find out that you still have one piece left, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." The hot pot was overturned, sauerkraut, white meat, and blood sausage were poured all over the floor, and soon formed a layer of white oil. When Li Shentong bent down with a bitter face, Lu Xiaofeng walked out slowly, and just as he walked out the door, he heard his vomiting. The night is deep, the brilliant lights have faded, and the glorious town has been shrouded in cold darkness. The cold wind blows from the glacier, and there seems to be a pack of wolves howling in the distance. The desolate and stern cry makes people's hearts go cold. ——Where did Leng Honger go?Sitting on a glacier again, waiting for a black bear to walk by? ——In her mind, what does this black bear symbolize?Does it symbolize the most primitive desire of human beings? Lu Xiaofeng felt uncomfortable, not only for her, but also for himself. ——Why are human beings always tormented by their own desires? The lights in Tianchang Restaurant shone through the crack of the door, and there were bursts of hot air. Lu Xiaofeng frowned, he knew that what was waiting for him inside was sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage hot pot, and another weird girl. At this moment, he wished he could run to the glacier and wait to see the black bear. At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure rushing out from behind the room of Tianchang Restaurant, and the figure disappeared into the darkness in a flash. This kind of lightness kung fu is no longer even inferior to Lu Xiaofeng, who in this kind of place has such a brilliant lightness kung fu? Lu Xiaofeng frowned again, the door had already opened, a pair of smiling eyes looked at him through the crack of the door, he giggled and said: "You still remember to come back, I thought you died in that woman's belly up." The steaming hot pot, the bamboo leaf green that was warmed just right, smiled sweetly: "I brought this wine specially..." Lu Xiaofeng could hardly bear to run away again, the same food and drinks and women were too much for him, not to mention they even said the same words. He hadn't heard a single word of what she was saying next - boring food, boring conversation, boring people... He suddenly jumped up and said, "Get someone to send it quickly, quickly!" Chu Chu was startled, and said, "Send something quickly? Where are you sending it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Hurry up and send the box to the Silver Hook Casino." The seven or eight feet wide house has been divided into seven or eight rooms with wooden boards. In the largest room, there is the largest bed with the thickest quilt. Lu Xiaofeng was lying on this bed, covered with this quilt, but it was still terribly cold. Everyone has times when they are depressed, and he is also human. At such times, he will feel that he will always make a mess of everything. One hundred and eighty days, buy another piece of tofu and beat him to death. Someone outside was carrying boxes, yawning and sneezing. In the middle of the night, calling people out of bed to carry boxes, this kind of life doesn't seem to have much meaning, why don't these people die? ——Why do you want to die? ——Living is not only a right, but also an obligation. No one has the right to destroy others, nor does he have the right to destroy himself. Lu Xiaofeng turned over, just wanting to fall asleep early, but unfortunately sleep is like a woman, the more you want her to come quickly, the later she comes - isn't there many things like this in life? Suddenly, there was a "crash" outside, followed by a series of exclamations. Lu Xiaofeng jumped up, put on his coat, didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and ran out barefoot, a few big men carrying boxes were standing outside, staring at the box in a daze.The box fell to the ground and fell apart, and everything inside was turned upside down. It wasn't gold or silver, but bricks. Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. This was the sixth time he was stunned this evening. This time he was not only surprised, but also angry, because he also felt cheated, and of course this feeling was uncomfortable. Chu Chu didn't change her face at all, and said lightly: "Why are you standing here in a daze? The brick doesn't hurt after falling, so pack it up and send it away." Lu Xiaofeng said coldly: "Send it? Where?" Chu Chu said: "Of course it is sent to the Silver Hook Casino." Lu Xiaofeng sneered and said, "You want to exchange bricks for someone else's Raksha card? Do you think everyone is an idiot?" Chu Chu said: "It's because that Miss Chen is not dumb at all, so I can just send the boxes like this. If she knows the goods, she must have nothing to say after seeing these boxes." Lu Xiaofeng said: "The other boxes are also filled with bricks?" Chu Chu said: "Exactly the same brick, but..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "How about it?" Chu Chu smiled and said: "Although the box is filled with bricks, the box is made of gold. We have to be extra careful when we carry so much gold on such a long journey." Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, he suddenly found that the only idiot here seemed to be himself. The few remaining boxes were quickly removed, but Lu Xiaofeng was still standing there with bare feet in a daze. Chu Chu looked at him, and said Yan Ran: "I know you've been angry with me, I know." She knew that Lu Xiaofeng's robe was empty, so she walked over, untied his robe, put her face on his bare chest, wrapped her hands around his waist, and whispered softly: "But tonight , I will never make you angry again, never." Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head, looked at the bun on her head for a long time, then suddenly said: "What made you change your mind?" Chu Churou said: "I always only do what I am happy with. I was not happy to accompany you before, but now..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Are you happy now?" Chu Chu said: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, picked her up suddenly, carried her back to her own room, threw her on her own bed with force, turned her head and left. Chu Chu jumped up from the bed and shouted: "What do you mean?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't turn his head back, and said calmly: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that this kind of thing is done when both of you are happy. Now although you are happy, I am not happy." That night, although Lu Xiaofeng slept alone, he slept soundly. He finally let out a sigh of relief. When he woke up the next day, his appetite was so good that he could swallow a whole whale. Although it was almost noon, Chu Chu was still hiding in the house, she didn't know if she was sleeping or angry. There has been no news from Silver Hook Casino. Lu Xiaofeng wolfed down his breakfast and lunch, this meal made him look more radiant and energetic, so he specially went to the kitchen again, and really praised the cook. When he was in a good mood, he always wanted others to be in the same mood. Before leaving, he patted the cook on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you go to the mainland to open a restaurant, I guarantee you will get rich, those local eggs who are used to fried small fish, if they eat your big piece of roast mutton , would be so happy to climb up the wall." The cook watched him go out with gratitude in his eyes, and he only hoped that no matter what he did today, he would have good luck. Lu Xiaofeng also believed that he would have good luck.
