9. Meeting Shuzhen in Xiangyang
Xiangyang City is located at the throat of the Han River and a place where merchants from north to south gather. Since ancient times, it has been a must-fight for military strategists.
Du Buwang and his friends, who had been in the city for a night, couldn't wait to stroll on the streets when they saw the prosperity of the city.
Zhu Sanmei suddenly spoke:
"Second brother, look at the next to the Drum Tower. Someone set up a stage, and many people were watching and we went over to take a look."
After saying that, he pulled a few people in.
At this time, on the stage, a young man with naked upper body stood on his chest with a long sword of one foot and a half, and stood behind him a 16 or 17-year-old girl in a civilized state and an old man in sixty years.
He raised a long sword of one and a half minutes into his hand, and then said to the people below:
"Do you want to see the sword in your mouth?"
Everyone below began to talk.
The young man continued:
"Everyone wants to watch it, and I hope that with the support of the young actor, the young actor is about to start performing, everyone is optimistic."
After saying that, the young man directly raised his head to the sky and opened his mouth wide, and began to slowly stuff the sword into it. The audience from the audience was frightened at this time, and more and more people watched.
Zhu Sanmei was also shocked and asked to several people:
"Is he still alive if he puts the sword in like this?"
The Taoist priest replied naturally:
"Of course, you can watch it."
At this time, the young man on the stage had put all the swords into his body, then closed his mouth, patted his chest with one hand, and told everyone that he was still alive. The people below the stage were naturally stunned at this time. After a while, the young man slowly took the sword out and said to the crowd below the stage:
"I'm sorry, I hope you can support me."
After the young man finished speaking, the girl in the cloth clothes behind him put an iron basin on the edge of the table, and someone began to throw silver and copper plates into the iron basin. The girl in the cloth clothes came to the stage and saw that although she was wearing a coarse linen, she looked very pretty, had a uniform figure, and had a pure temperament.
Seeing that there were not many villagers who invested money, the young man put down the long sword in his hand, picked up the iron ball about eight inches in diameter, and then watched the audience and said:
"I have a more powerful skill. I swallow the iron ball. Do you want to see it?" After saying that, he held up the iron ball with his hands, preparing to swallow it, and looked at the expressions of the crowd below.
The crowd below was already crowded at this time, and passers-by basically stopped here and watched incredibly.
Du Buwang from the audience asked the Taoist priest at this time:
"Master, what do you think of this iron-swalking ball?"
The Taoist priest still answered calmly:
"You can finish it carefully first. He will finish it later. I will demonstrate it to you if I have time."
I never forget that I know that I have experienced many years, have a lot of knowledge and are knowledgeable, so I naturally ask Master Taoist.
At this time, the young man on the stage began to slowly stuff the iron ball into his mouth, and then slowly pressed it down at the throat with his hand. After a while, he pressed it to the middle of his chest, then let go of his hand, and a large semicircular bulge in his chest appeared in front of people.
The crowds of onlookers began to applaud at this time, and more and more people began to throw broken silver and copper plates into the basin. When the young man slowly took out the iron ball with his hands, the coins in the iron basin in the hand of the girl in the cloth were piled up like a mountain. The girl in the cloth could no longer hold it back because she was too heavy, so the young man came over to help.
At this time, a young man with a naked upper body, a tiger-like head, and a strong figure jumped onto the stage, followed by two tall and large young men. The tiger-headed young man came up and stepped on the iron basin filled with coins. The young man and the girl in cloth were overwhelmed. His hand slid open the iron basin. The iron basin was instantly stepped on by the tiger-headed young man, and the silver and copper plates inside were splashed everywhere.
The young man immediately said with anger:
"I don't know who you are. The young actors and the others have just arrived in the land and have never offended you and others. Why do you ruin my property so much?"
The young man with tiger head immediately said arrogantly:
"Do you know who I am? I dare to ruin my store business in my territory. If you are obedient, apologize obediently, and then I confiscate the money and leave quickly, otherwise you will be beautiful."
After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to start picking up the broken silver from the ground. The young man naturally was not convinced, so he went forward to compete with the young tiger-headed man for the iron basin.
The tiger-headed young man called back two helpers who were picking up coins. The three of them started fighting with the young man directly. The young man was as good as the young man, so he naturally lost to the three. After a while, he was pressed to the ground and beaten up. The girl in a civilized state and the old man behind him came to help the young man at this time. Perhaps the tiger-headed young man and his subordinates saw the girl in a civilized state look pretty and couldn't bear to take action, so he pushed him aside, but he was harsh on the old man.
Du Buwuwang couldn't help it. He was about to go on stage to help, but was pulled by the Taoist priest.
After the young men and the tiger head beat the young men and the others, they were tired of fighting, so they picked up the money on the ground with their subordinates and left. Seeing the bloody scene of the fight, the crowds in the audience quickly fled here. Only Du Buwang and the four of them were left behind.
At this time, the four of them walked onto the stage, and the girl in a civilized clothes squatted beside the old man and cried. The old man's face was covered in wounds and was in pain. The young man next to him was unconscious. The four of them helped the old man and the young man and the girl in a civilized clothes to where the three of them settled.
A dilapidated small tile house with a living room and a small room inside. Except for a group of people in the middle, three small beds filled the entire room.
The four of them helped the old man and the young man lie on two beds between them.
At this time, the young man had gradually awakened. When he saw everyone, he naturally knew the reason and slowly said thank you.
But after the old man lay down, he gradually became powerless when he spoke, and only heard one sentence:
"Granddaughter, grandpa, I, I may support, support, support, support, no, no, live. In the future, you, you, you, live well with your cousin, and live well. Grandpa, I may not be able to accompany you." After saying that, my head tilted, I lost my breath.
The girl in a civilian cried more and more intensely at this time, and the young man next to her also shed tears in pain.
The girl in a commoner stood up and said to her grandfather's body:
"I must kill the tiger-headed bully who hurt you today to avenge you."
Du Buwang asked the Taoist priest with some resentment at this time:
"If the Taoist priest hadn't been holding me just now, this old man wouldn't have died." Then he knelt beside the dead old man and began to repent.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest said:
"I have no choice but to not let you go. We first arrived here, and we were not familiar with the place and we met villains to chase after them. How could we expose ourselves at will?"
The Taoist priest then continued:
"I don't know if this senior's body would be so incompatible with how many people punched him."
The girl in a common man replied:
"My grandfather often had chest tightness and shortness of breath before his death, so how could he withstand this beating?" After that, he started howling and cried again.
The Taoist priest said to the girl in a civilized manner:
"You don't have to be too sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. We will definitely seek justice for you in this matter of the old donor. Now the most important thing is to come to the old donor first to be able to save the old donor, and I can do it."
The girl in a cloth wiped her tears back:
"Thank you, Taoist priest and you guys. I will find a way to avenge my grandfather's grudge. You are willing to help me and my cousin are grateful for your help in the work of salvation." After that, he looked at the young man lying beside the bed, who was also crying.
As the Taoist priest finished the ritual for the old man and sent the old man to the ground, at this time, the others were in front of the old man's grave, but Du Buwang's figure disappeared.
