Chapter 2 The first episode of Guo Dalu and Wang Dong

As the name suggests, Guo Dalu is indeed a very generous person. "Dalu" means very generous, careless, even a little confused, and doesn't care about anything. Wang Dong didn't move. People on the main road are usually very poor.Guo Dalu was especially poor, extremely poor, outrageously poor. He shouldn't be so poor at all. He could have even been said to be a very rich man.If a rich man suddenly becomes poor, there are only two reasons: the first is because he is stupid, and the second is because he is lazy. Guo Dalu is not stupid, he can do more things than most people, and he can do them better than most people.For example——

Riding a horse, he can ride the fastest horse and the strongest horse. Fencing, his sword can pierce the armor of the general, and can also pierce the catkins in the spring breeze. If you were his friend, when he was in a particularly good mood, he might jump into the Yellow River with his bare hands to catch two carps, and then jump out of the water to catch two autumn geese, and cook steamed fish and roast wild duck for you. You feast on it, and you won't be disappointed if you eat his dishes. His cooking skills are by no means inferior to any famous chef in the capital. He can sing Su Shi's "Great River Going East" with iron plate and copper wa, and he can also sing Liu Yong's "Yangliu Bank, Xiaofeng Wanyue" with three-stringed lutes, making you think that he has been singing all his life.

Some even thought he could do anything but bear children. He's not lazy either, not lazy.And I always look for something to do, and I have done a lot of things.How can someone like him be poor? What he did for the first time was to be an escort. At that time, he had just debuted, had just attended the funeral of his parents, sold and gave away the family house and farmland, and wanted to make his way into the Jianghu with his own ability. Of course he will not be a very shrewd businessman, and he doesn't want to be a very shrewd businessman at all, so he only sold 170,000 acres of land originally worth 3,000 taels of mu, and gave it to poor relatives and friends. Yes, there is not much left.

But that was enough for him to buy a good horse, forge a sharp sword, make some fancy clothes, live in the best inn, and eat in the best restaurant. It was spring at that time, and the plan for a year lies in spring.Spring is suitable for doing many things, and it is also the best time for Escort business. The best time for escort agency business is also the best time for robber business. Luo Zhenyi, the head of the "Central Plains Escort", although he is not old, he is already old, of course he understands this truth very well.So when walking on the road, always be very careful.What's more, it's spring now, and his bodyguard this time is not light.

However, it is not enough for bodyguards to rely on being careful, they also need martial arts skills and good luck. Luo Zhenyi's martial arts are not weak, but this time his luck is really bad, and he happened to meet the Ouyang brothers who are the most difficult to provoke in Lianghe underworld. The Ouyang brothers are not two, nor three, nor four... Brother Ouyang is just one person. This person's name is "Brother Ouyang". Although he has only one person, he is simply more difficult to fight than forty people.He wields a short knife in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand. He can also fire seven or eight different hidden weapons at the same time. Few people can tell where his hidden weapons come from.

Luo Zhenyi couldn't see it either.He had just dodged three "brocade back bowed flower crossbows" and a barrel of "meteor chasing the moon and arrows in the sleeves", but the Ouyang brothers flipped the back of their swords and shot a pair of cold needles. The deadly needle is shot from a place that others can't even guess. Luo Zhenyi received two injections on his right shoulder, although it was not fatal immediately, but he had to wait for Brother Ouyang to come and kill him. Even if Brother Ouyang didn't want his life, if he lost his dart this time, he had to hang himself and jump into the river to wipe his neck, and he wanted his own life.

At this moment, suddenly a fast horse came galloping, and the horse was faster than the man, and the man had arrived before the horse.Brother Ouyang only saw a person falling from mid-air, seven or eight kinds of hidden weapons hadn't even had time to make a move, and the left and right pulse gates had been struck by him at the same time. The savior who fell in mid-air was naturally Guo Dalu. Naturally, Luo Zhenyi was not only grateful, but also admired this savior; not only admired, but also completely admired.After sending this dart to the ground, no matter what, he should be invited back to the dart bureau.

Of course Guo Dalu went, he had nothing else important to do anyway. Even if he had other important matters, he would go. This was the first time he made a move, and he suddenly realized that he was not only good in martial arts, but also good in popularity. So Luo Zhenyi felt strange, and asked: "Brother Guo is so skilled, why doesn't he become an escort?" Guo Dalu also asked: "Why do people with high martial arts go to bodyguards!" He just thinks being a security guard is quite dignified and interesting.What's more, Luo Zhenyi asked him to be the deputy chief escort.

A person who has just entered the rivers and lakes and became the deputy head of the security guard is indeed quite majestic and impressive! The only thing that makes Guo Dalu feel regretful is that the "Central Plains Escort Bureau" is not the largest Escort Bureau in Central Plains, not even the first-class Escort Bureau. He waited for several days before he received his first business, and it was not a big business, it was just a deposit of several thousand taels of silver from Kaifeng back to Luoyang for someone. The road is not far, the escort is not heavy, and there is such a deputy chief escort, the chief escort is naturally happy to recuperate at home comfortably.

It was still spring, and in the morning, the dart car set off. The plan for a year lies in spring, and the plan for a day lies in the morning. This is a really good start. The dart flags are fluttering in the wind, the shouts of the troopers are loud and clear, Guo Dalu is wearing a purple shirt and a black scabbard sword, riding on a big white horse. The spring sun has just risen, and it is warm on his body. The spring mountains in the distance are as blue as washing, and the swallows are making their nests in the trees. He really felt extremely happy and proud. He only hopes to meet thousands of thieves and heroes on the road. It's not entirely because he wants to show off his skills and show off his prestige, but because he wants to make more friends.

The more friends the better.He likes friends. Wouldn't it be exciting and interesting to be able to make friends with this kind of people? Wouldn't it be even better if he could influence them to change their ways. He did. It's a pity that what he met was not the kind of gangster he imagined, who would divide gold with a large scale and divide silver with a small scale, who would eat meat in large pieces and drink in a large bowl; A green forest hero who stabs both sides for his friends.What he met was just a group of little thieves, all of them had pale faces, as if they had been hungry for three days, their clothes were patched everywhere, and even their knives were rusted. Although Guo Dalu was disappointed, since he met him, there was nothing he could do, so he had to show his martial arts first, to stun them first, and then to persuade them with good manners, hoping that they would change their minds, change their mistakes and become good people, and become good citizens who live in peace and live on their own, and don't want to be humiliated ancestors. Everyone was stunned by his martial arts at first, and then moved to tears by his kind words. Everyone expressed their determination to be a new man. "But we don't have any skills. What are we asked to do? If we don't become robbers, I'm afraid our whole family will starve to death." "It's good to be a small business, even if you sell steamed buns, it's better than being a robber." "I don't even have a penny, what kind of business can I do? It's better to die now." These people burst into tears and snot, which is indeed what Tian Liang found out. Guo Dalu was almost moved to tears. "I don't have capital, it's easy, I have it." Isn't there money in the escort car? If the capital is low, business can't be done, Guo Dalu has always been very generous. "One hundred taels per person." Everyone thanked me a lot, and then suddenly they all rushed away, and they could be heard saying from a distance: "This benefactor is not only a great hero, a great hero, but also a living Bodhisattva and a great saint." Guo Dalu's heart was also full of enthusiasm, and he was full of emotion: "At the beginning of human beings, people are inherently kind. If they are not forced to have nowhere to go, who would want to be a robber?" When his feelings gradually calmed down, he suddenly discovered two things: First, more than half of the silver in the escort car has been divided. Second, the silver is not his. All the bodyguards who followed him opened their mouths wide open and stared at him helplessly. No one could tell what they were thinking of him with their winks. Is the big hero?Great Saint?Still a big idiot? More than half of the dart money has been lost, so of course the head of the dart has to pay. When Guo Dalu returned to the Escort Bureau, although he felt a little uneasy, he was not too uncomfortable. He is sure to pay back the dart money, and those who are capable have this kind of confidence. "I bought this horse for two hundred and eighty taels, and I still have more than seven hundred taels of silver left on me, which adds up to more than one thousand taels. I will pay them first." What about the rest? "The rest of the Escort will be paid first, and I will pay back slowly with the salary of the deputy head of the Escort." If the Central Plains Escort can get a deputy head of the Escort like him, his reputation will naturally increase in the future, and his business will naturally become better and better. Of course, his salary will never be less, and he will be able to pay it off soon. Luo Zhenyi has been listening, dumbfounded, as if in a trance. Guo Dalu is still very confident, because he thinks the method he proposed is too reasonable. He never thought that Luo Zhenyi would suddenly kneel down. Luo Zhenyi knelt down not to ask him to stay, nor to thank him for saving his life, but to beg him to go quickly, the faster the better, the farther the better. "You saved me, and I will pay you back the money for the bodyguard. I have paid off the debt. I have never seen someone like you, Uncle Guo, before. I just hope that I will never meet you in the future." So Guo Dalu left. But where to go?Now, although he still wears a sword and his clothes are still very bright, but the big white horse is gone, and the few taels of silver left, not only can't let him live in the best inn, go to the best restaurant, even if he eats. Steamed buns, sleeping on a big kang, can't last for a few days. Does Guo Dalu also feel a little panicked and a little uncomfortable? No, he doesn't care at all. Isn't it a joke that a capable person like him is afraid of running out of food? I still found the biggest restaurant, with good food and wine, and had a hearty meal. A man is always in a particularly good mood after eating a good meal, not to mention he is half drunk, even the most annoying person will become much cuter in his eyes. So he gave all the remaining silver to the very cute waiter, so when he walked out, his pockets were as clean and thorough as they had just been washed. Where is your next meal?There is hardly even a shadow. But what does it matter?The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge, and the road is endless. The only important thing now is to find a place to sleep comfortably. "Tomorrow is another day." No matter what happens, there will always be a solution when it comes to tomorrow. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to worry about tomorrow's things tonight? Guo Dalu yawned and walked into the best inn in the city. He just forgot one thing. Although the door of the inn is always open, although it is easy to go in, it is much more difficult to go out.If you don't have money in your pocket, people won't let you walk out in a big way. Of course Guo Dalu would not run away, nor would he cheat, so what should we do? At this time, he was a little anxious. After walking around the yard twice, he suddenly found a red note on the wall, which read: "Urgently looking for a chef." So Guo Dalu became a cook. He finally worked as an escort for more than half a month. He only worked as a cook for three days. In the past three days, he used more than 20 catties of oil, and broke more than 30 bowls and more than 40 dishes. Others actually endured it, because the few dishes Guo Dalu cooks are really good, and sometimes it is even more difficult to find a good cook than a good wife.It wasn't until Guo Dalu threw a plate of freshly cooked sweet and sour fish on the face of the guests that others really couldn't stand it. The guest just thought his fish was too bland and wanted to add some salt. Guo Dalu was already furious, pointing at his nose and yelling: "Have you ever eaten sweet and sour fish? Have you ever eaten fish? Sweet and sour." Fish can’t be made too salty, do you know that?” If all the cooks in the world are as fierce as you, how can anyone dare to go to restaurants? At this point, even if others dare to keep him, he can't stay anymore.After working as a cook for three days, the only gain is that there is a layer of oily smoke on his body, and his pockets are still empty. However, "There is no place to keep people here, but there are places to keep people." What are you afraid of? Of course Guo Dalu doesn't care at all, he can do anything, he can do anything, why should he care? The question is, for what? Guo Dalu began to think, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that most of the things he would do cost money—riding horses, drinking, appreciating flowers, and ordering. Can such things earn a penny? Fortunately, there are still one or two things that can make money, for example, selling singing. In the past, when he sang, other people would slap his hands badly and hear oily ears, and people asked him: Did he already learn to sing in the womb? Some people also said: With his voice and his cultivation of music, if he really sells and sings, other people who sing will definitely have nothing to eat. Although Guo Dalu didn't want to grab other people's jobs, but his stomach started singing——singing empty city tricks. So he found a restaurant that he had never been to, and prepared to sing. As soon as he went upstairs, the waiters in the shop immediately surrounded him, those who poured tea poured tea, those who delivered towels delivered towels, smiled and bowed, and asked him: "What do you want to eat today? What do you want to drink? Today's shop The fish I brought here was specially brought from the south of the Yangtze River, do you want to kill one to go with the 30-year-old Shaoxing wine?" For a man as handsome as Guo Dalu, if the waiter doesn't curry favor with him, who will he curry favor with? Guo Dalu's face turned as red as if he had drunk thirty catties of Shaoxing wine, "I'm here to sell and sing." How could he say those words? After a long time, he stammered: "I'm here to find someone..." Before he finished speaking, he went downstairs as if being driven with a whip, and rushed out the door. Of course, it can't be blamed on those shop assistants, it's just that he himself doesn't look like a singer no matter how he looks at it. "Well, it turns out that a person who is too good-looking sometimes suffers a lot. Maybe it's better for me to be ugly." Although Guo Dalu was sighing, he could hardly bear to look in the mirror immediately. You can't even sell singing, so what are you doing? "God gave me such a pair of nimble hands, I always have something to do." Guo Dalu has always been very satisfied with his hands. He looked at his slender and strong fingers, and suddenly thought of some stories that had been circulated in the Jianghu for a long time: "A troubled young hero, who was down and out in the street, happened to meet an old hero and his charming The youngest daughter of this poor hero is greatly fascinated by the martial arts..." As a result, the hero and the beauty got married, which has since become a good story in the martial arts world. "Yes, performing arts, just on the street, with my martial arts, I'm afraid no one will appreciate it?" Guo Dalu was so happy that he even forgot he was hungry. He only blamed himself for not coming up with such a good idea two days ago. Although it was dark, the streets were still very lively. Guo Dalu chose the busiest street corner, ready to start performing arts. But at the beginning, it seems that I have to say an opening sentence first. What do you say? Guo Dalu's eloquence is not bad, he often speaks cleverly and wittily when he shouldn't say it, but when it's time for him to speak, he can't say it. "It doesn't matter if I don't talk about it. Anyway, people come to see my skills, not to listen to me. As long as I show my skills, are you afraid that people won't come around to see?" So Guo Dalu rolled up his sleeves, tucked up the corners of his clothes, and practiced the most proud boxing in his life on this street corner. I saw that when he raised his fists, he was like a fierce tiger coming out of his guard, when he kicked, he was like a dragon entering the sea, the shadows of his fists were flying, and his fists were like tigers and tigers. It is true that every move has real talent, and every style has real kung fu. But other people not only did not come around, but avoided them from a distance, even if there were a few brave ones, they only dared to stand in the corner of the room and watch secretly. "This man suddenly started punching in the street, could something be wrong?" Guo Dalu was quite proud of his practice at first, but later he gradually realized something was wrong. Fortunately, it dawned on him immediately. "I'm practicing real kung fu. I don't have any fancy skills. Of course, these ordinary people can't see the benefits. Well, I'll practice some amazing ones for them to see." Thinking of this, Guo Dalu suddenly appeared with a kite, and with a "bang" punch he broke a big hole in the wall behind him, and with a "huh" kick he kicked down the stone stake tied to the horse at the corner of the street - his own pants were of course It was also broken. All the people in the street suddenly fled in shock. Some shops even closed their doors, just because a lunatic who took the wrong medicine came to the street. This is how Guo Dalu performed as a performer. He practiced boxing, and added a move to open the mountain, and a move to sweep the legs. What he got in exchange was only a pair of ripped pants. Why is his story not as good as other down-and-out heroes? There is really no way around this. There are many things in the world that sound beautiful but are not beautiful when done. That night, Guo Dalu was hungry and fell asleep on the altar of the ruined temple. Of course, he can go to the best restaurant to eat before talking, and go to the best inn to sleep before talking, but although our hero is a little confused, he is not foolish.It's a shameful thing that I would never do even if I died. "Even if you want to be a thief, you have to be a great robber, and you must not be a thief who steals chickens and dogs." In the afternoon of the second day, Guo Dalu suddenly thought of being a thief. He didn't even know where the idea came from—probably from his already worn-out stomach. "Being a thief is not too bad. There are many righteous thieves who rob the rich and help the poor. Wouldn't their stories also be immortalized in the rivers and lakes?" So Guo Dalu decided to be a robber, of course he was a righteous thief and a great thief. This time he decided to only allow success and not fail. "To do something well, you must plan carefully before you start." To be a thief, what to plan? First, of course, is to find a suitable target to start with.This person must be very rich, and he must be rich and unkind. It would be better if he is a corrupt official. If you rob this kind of person's money, instead of blaming you, others will applaud you. Guo Dalu cheered up and began to look around. After searching for a long time, he finally found the object. It was a house located on the mountainside. The house was very large and magnificent. That means the owner must be rich. The house is far away from the urban area, very remote, and the neighborhood is almost deserted.The nearest place to this house is the cemetery. This means that the owner must not be above board, and above board people would never live in such a place. All the conditions are suitable, and now we just wait for the right time to start. The most suitable time is naturally at night. But Guo Dalu couldn't wait any longer, and broke into the house at dusk. The first thing he saw was a bed. A very big, very comfortable and very comfortable bed. There is a person lying on the bed. Other than that, he saw nothing else. This house is very big, the architecture is very grand, front and back, there are at least thirty rooms.The largest room is so big that a dozen tables of wine can be placed at the same time. But there are dozens of rooms in front and back, except for this bed and this person, there is nothing, not even a table or a chair. Guo Dalu was stunned. The man lying on the bed was not asleep, his eyes were wide open all the time, but even though he ran back and forth, looking for him back and forth, the man still ignored him. Later, Guo Dalu couldn't help but rushed to this man's bed, wanting to ask him what was going on. Instead, the man asked first, "Did you find anything valuable?" Guo Dalu could only shake his head. The man sighed, and said, "I knew you couldn't find it. I've been looking for it for three days, and even the last broken iron pot was exchanged for sesame seed cakes. If you can find anything else, then It’s not a small matter.” He didn't look ugly at all, but he looked yellow and thin, and he looked weak even when he spoke, as if he had been hungry for several days. But the bed he slept on was a good bed. How could there be such a good bed in this empty house?What is this man doing in bed? Guo Dalu couldn't help asking, "What is this place?" The man said: "Speaking of this place, it is really famous." Guo Dalu said: "Famous? What's the name?" The man said: "Have you heard the name Fugui Villa? This is Fugui Villa." Guo Dalu couldn't help but screamed, and said, "Fugui Villa? This hellish place is actually called Fugui Villa?" The man said: "It's not bad at all. Since a fat man can become very thin, a rich manor can also become very poor. What's so strange about it?" Guo Dalu said: "Then, who are you? What are you doing in such a ghostly place?" The man cleared his throat and said, "If I don't stay here, where would I stay? I am the seventh generation owner of Fugui Villa." Guo Dalu was stunned again. The man kept his eyes fixed on the sword in his hand, and suddenly said: "Your sword looks pretty good." Guo Dalu said: "It's not bad." The man said: "Looks like it's worth a few taels of silver." Guo Dalu yelled again, "How many taels? You know the goods but not the goods? Let me tell you, I bought this sword for more than a hundred taels of silver." There seemed to be light in the man's eyes, and his voice sounded louder, he said: "Go down the mountain from here, go to the left, there is Jialiyuan pawn shop, although the court minister there is a skin-scraper, he is very knowledgeable, you Hurry up before they close, this sword can be worth at least twenty taels of silver." He swallowed, and then said: "Diagonally across from the pawn shop, there is an old and widely opened roast meat shop. The roast duck and crispy meat are good, and there is wine next door. After you get the money, first Buy two roast ducks, five catties of meat, ten catties of wine, and send them back quickly, I’m already very hungry, and the roast duck doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.” Guo Dalu's eyes widened and he looked at this man with the same expression as when Luo Zhenyi was listening to him. After a long time, he finally let out his breath and said, "You told me to pawn off my sword and buy wine and meat for you to eat?" The man smiled and said, "You finally understand." Guo Dalu said: "Do you know what I want to do here?" The man said: "Of course I know, you are here to steal money." Guo Dalu stared and said: "Since you know that I am a robber, you still want to make plans on me?" The Han said with a smile: "Although you are a robber, I am a poor ghost. When a robber meets a poor ghost, he will only consider himself unlucky." Guo Dalu looked at him, and suddenly found that this man smiled very cutely, even charmingly. He couldn't help laughing himself, and said: "Even if you want to make up your mind on me, you should at least pawn my sword yourself, go buy wine and give it to me when you come back." The man said: "If you want to be a good person, you have to do it to the end, or you go." Guo Dalu said: "What about you? You don't even bother to move?" The man sighed and said, "Think about it, if I'm not lazy, how could I be so poor?" Guo Dalu was stunned for the third time.He has never seen such a person before, and he really has nothing to do with this person. He actually exchanged the sword for wine and meat back. After drinking a duck leg and half a catty of wine, the man sat up from the bed and said with a smile, "I ate your wine, but I don't even know your name." Guo Dalu said: "My name is Guo Dalu, I'm generous, I'm on the road." The man said: "Dalu——you are really worthy of your name, you are really a big road." Guo Dalu said: "What about you? What's your name?" The man said: "My name is Wang Dong, the king of emperors, and I move like a rabbit." Guo Dalu looked at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed, and said, "I think you should be called Wang Fudo." Only the dead don't move at all. Although Wang Dong is not a dead person, he can't move much more than a dead person. He never moves unless it is absolutely necessary. When he doesn't want to move, no one can make him move. If the oil bottle fell in front of him, anyone would reach out to help it up, but Wang Dong didn't move.If a big ingot suddenly fell from the sky, everyone would pick it up, and Wang Dong didn't move.Even when the most beautiful woman in the world sat naked in his arms, he still wouldn't move. But he also moves sometimes, and if he doesn't move, he is himself, and when he moves, it is amazing.On one occasion he did three hundred and eighty-two somersaults without stopping in a split second, just to make a child whose mother had just died smile. Once he drove fourteen hundred and fifty miles in two days and two nights, just to see a friend for the last time. His friend was long dead. Once, in three days and three nights, he leveled four cottages, fought against 274 people, and killed 103 of them, only because those bandits killed Mr. Kouzi, and took away their three daughters. He didn't recognize Mr. Zhao and those three girls at all. If someone bullied him, even spit on his face, he would never move.You said he was strange, he was indeed a bit strange. You say he's lazy, but he's really lazy, ridiculously lazy. Now, he actually made friends with Guo Dalu.Two people like them get together, if they are not poor, you say Huai is poor? Although they are poor, they are happy to be poor. Because they are neither sorry for others, nor sorry for themselves. Because they neither blame heaven nor others, no matter how difficult or setback they encounter, they will not lose their courage.They are not afraid of the hardships they experience when overcoming difficulties, but they know how to enjoy the joy of success after overcoming difficulties. Even if they fail, they will never be discouraged, let alone discouraged. They understand that life is precious and how to enjoy it. So their lives will always be colorful.In this life, they have done many unexpected and amazing things, and you may think that what they did is stupid and ridiculous. But you have to admit that they do things that no one else can do. You can't either.So I'm sure you'll love hearing their stories.
