At this time, an old man came over and said to Shi Xiu: "Young man, you have caused a big disaster, let's go, this kicking and killing sheep is bad, no one dares to provoke him in this state and county for hundreds of miles, maybe he will go back and call someone, while they haven't come yet, you can run away." ”
Shi Xiu straightened his chest and said, "I'm not afraid of them!" Let them come, I'll fight as much as they come! I just move an arm and leg! ”
The old man shook his head: "Young man, your fists and feet are really good, one person can fight so much, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the tiger can't stand the wolves." ”
The old man shook his head and sighed and left.
Shi Xiu simply sat down on a stone next to him, waiting for the Zhang Bao to come to him.
After a while, I saw a large group of people coming from Wuwuyang, the north end of the market, and there were hundreds of people.
Some of these people were carrying sticks, some were holding swords, and the first person was Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao's arm was twisted by Shi Xiu just now and was injured, and now he took a piece of cloth and hung it on his chest.
Zhang Bao pointed at Shi Xiu and said to everyone: "It's this kid, abolish him for me!" ”
These more than 100 ruffians surrounded Shi Xiu at once.
Shi Xiu saw that they all had guys, and wanted to pull out the firewood knife, but because he was afraid of his life, he copied the flat pole that picked up the firewood.
A few ruffians picked up the sticks in their hands and smashed them at Shi Xiu.
Shi Xiu raised his shoulder and swept it, and the sticks in the hands of those ruffians were gone, and Shi Xiu swept the leaves in an autumn wind, and the ruffians all lay on the ground.
The other ruffians rushed up, and all they could hear were the sound of swords and guns colliding, the sound of human bodies falling, the sound of crying fathers calling mothers, and the sounds of moaning and wailing.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the ground was full of ruffians with broken bones and tendons, wailing and tossing.
Except for Zhang Bao, almost all of the more than 100 people were put to the ground by Shi Xiu.
Shi Xiu picked up a ruffian and said, "Go back and tell Zhang Bao, if anyone else is called, I'll clean it up together!" My family lives in the third alley of the South Gate, you can come to my house to find me! ”
The ruffians supported each other and hurried away.
The people around him applauded, and Shi Xiu looked at the sticks and swords all over the ground, and said to everyone: "Everyone take these things back to burn the fire and cut meat." “
All the people rushed up and snatched the clubs and swords from the ground.
The people thanked Shi Xiu for being angry for them, and they all paid for Shi Xiu's firewood, and Shi Xiu's four major loads of firewood were sold out in an instant.
Shi Xiu took a few hangs of money and cut another pound of beef along the way, bought a jar of rice wine, and poured himself a drink when he returned home, only to feel that he was happy today.
The next day, Shi Xiu saw that the sun was on three poles, and he was just about to go up the mountain to collect firewood, when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Shi Xiu opened the door and saw three people standing at the door, looking at the outfit of yesterday's ruffians.
Shi Xiu wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw the three of them with a smile on their faces, one of them said: "Shi Haohan, Brother Zhang asked us to invite Lord Shi to Tianxianglou for a drink, and I want to make friends with Lord Shi." ”
Shi Xiu smiled secretly in her heart: When did I become an adult?
He looked down on these people in his heart, and when he heard that Zhang Bao was going to invite him, he didn't know what tricks he was going to play.
I wanted to refuse, but then I thought about it: if I didn't go, Zhang Bao would underestimate me and think I was cowardly.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiu said: "Go back and tell Zhang Bao that I will go to the appointment on time at noon." ”
The three of them went, and Shi Xiu took a firewood knife and carried the flat shoulder up the mountain.
Shi Xiu came back after collecting firewood, cleaned up, and came to Tianxiang Building, which is the largest restaurant in Jizhou, and Shi Xiu was the first time to come here as a guest.
When I came to Tianxiang downstairs, I saw a few ruffians standing at the door in the morning, and when I saw Shi Xiu coming over, I nodded and greeted him: "Lord Shi, please come in, please come in, the eldest brother has been waiting for a long time." ”
Shi Xiu followed the ruffian to the upstairs seat, and the Zhang Bao greeted him and arched his hand: "Yo, Shi Zhuangshi has arrived, and he has missed the distance." ”
Shi Xiu also arched his hand as a salute.
Zhang Bao let Shi Xiu take a seat, and Shi Xiu was not polite, so he sat down on a chair.
Zhang Bao ordered the dishes to be served, only to see the dishes coming up one after another, full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Shi Xiuhuo is so old and has never seen so many good dishes, and he is a little dazzled.
Zhang Bao said that the wine was on again, and the shopkeeper picked up the best hibiscus drunk in the store.
As soon as the bottle was opened, the room was filled with the aroma of wine.
Shi Xiu sniffed with his nose and couldn't help but say, "Good wine!" ”
Zhang Baodao: "This is the best wine in the Northland, let's get drunk today." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Bao poured the wine into two bowls and personally served a bowl to Shi Xiu.
Shi Zhuangshi, yesterday we were flooded the Dragon King Temple, you don't blame the scheme, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you can't make a deal, I think Shi Zhuangshi is also a hero, I would like to make a friend with you, first pay tribute to the strong man a bowl! ”
Shi Xiu once followed his uncle to the rivers and lakes, and he was more vigilant about eating, so he picked up the wine bowl and did not drink it immediately.
Zhang Bao saw Shi Xiu's thoughts, and laughed: "Shi Zhuangshi, then I will do it first as a respect!" "Throw your neck up and do it all.
Shi Xiu then dried the wine in the bowl.
After three bowls of wine, Zhang Bao praised Shi Xiu's martial arts again, and proposed to hire Shi Xiu as a teacher to teach his subordinates fists, feet and sticks.
Shi Xiu said in his heart: This group of ruffians is really a local harm, if I don't get rid of you, I want to teach you martial arts? It's a dream!
He said: "I am a family martial arts, my father once said when he was alive that family martial arts are not passed on, I dare not go against my father's last words, please Brother Zhang forgive my sins." ”
Zhang Bao's face was displeased, so he said again: "Since Shi Zhuangshi doesn't want to be a teacher, how about being a guard for me?" I will give you fifty taels of silver a month. ”
In the Northern Song Dynasty, one tael of silver was equivalent to 1,000 yuan today, and these 50 taels were 50,000 yuan, an absolute high salary. This is really a leap into immortality for a poor man. But Shi Xiu smiled indifferently and didn't speak.
Zhang Bao thought that the money was small, so he said: "How about giving you sixty taels a month?" ”
Shi Xiu shook his head.
Zhang Baoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Then give you seventy taels a month!" How is it? ”
Shi Xiu stood up and arched his hand: "It's not that I'm too little, it's too much, this guard is not what I want to do, and I can't do it, how can I compare to being a woodcutter, visiting the mountains and scenery every day, and being happy?" ”
Zhang Bao's face became even more ugly.
Shi Xiu said: "You are rampant in Jizhou, there is no king's law, and the people hate it to the bone, if your bad karma does not change, you will definitely be punished." I warn you, don't bully the market and bully the weak in the future, otherwise I will not be spared! With that, Shi Xiu threw up his sleeves and left.
Since then, Shi Xiu has sold firewood, and Zhang Bao has never dared to collect his "protection fee".
