Chapter 117 - chapter 5

At the table, Jack only put two or three green vegetables into his mouth, then stopped moving with his chopsticks and just held his head. All other things went into Jie Qi's stomach. Well, he is a patient, and he is also a very good patient.

"Does your head still hurt?" Yan Yan asked with concern. The matchmaker had already put a pair of tender hands on Jack's back and rubbed it gently. Jie Liang on the side also spoke to accompany Huantou. "Do I need to order a sobering soup? Or should I go down to the mountain and get some medicine to cure my headache?"

"No need." Jack waved his hand to dismiss the matchmaker. "I have my own hangover cure."

This makes everyone feel funny. If you don't use the secret recipe and just make it hurt, aren't you asking for trouble? I saw Jack raising his hands and shouting: "Man, bring me another two cents of wine." Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the man who had been suffering from a headache for a long time.

It turned out that a group of people entered the store. Seeing that Jack had a headache, they specifically ordered the store to bring two pots of tea, so the wine was waived. But at this moment, he ordered another two cents of wine, and Jack drank a bowl of yellow soup and was very satisfied. His entire face was rosy, as if he had just been to hell and then returned to the human world. My previous complaints about having a headache seemed false.

"What are you looking at?" Jack looked back at the others unhappily and pointed at the soju in the bowl. "Haven't you ever heard the saying, "To untie a bell, you need someone to tie it?"

"Isn't that how this sentence is used..." Jie Liang muttered to himself in a low voice. After blinking a few times, Yan Yan asked, "What about being sober again tomorrow?"

"You'll be fine if you drink more." Jack finished a bowl before replying in a matter-of-fact tone. Yan Yan asked persistently: "What about being half drunk again the day after tomorrow?"

"Ah~" He waved his hand and splashed a few drops of wine from the big bowl in his hand. "Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about tomorrow. I don't have time to care about those things now." After saying that, he just drank by himself and didn't answer anyone.

The matchmaker next to her just wanted to persuade, but she couldn't. She wanted to pull Jack away, but she didn't know how to stretch out her hand. The Jie brothers looked baffled and could only watch as Jack drank one bowl of wine after another. As for Yan Yan, she just leaned on the table with a smile and looked at the drinking man with interest.

"Man, if you have beef, cut it into three jins. The roasted fish tastes a little stronger. Take this wine jar and make another three jins of wine."

"... If you are happy in life, you must have all the fun, and don't let the gold bottle stand empty against the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the gold is gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Master Cen, Dan Qiu Sheng, I'm about to drink, don't stop. I'll sing a song with you, please listen to me. Bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive, but I hope I stay drunk and don't want to wake up. In ancient times, the sages were lonely, but the drinkers kept their Name. In the old days, King Chen had a banquet and had a banquet with thousands of people. Why did the master say that he had less money? He had to sell it to you. The five-flowered horse and the golden fur. The caller will exchange for the fine wine and spend time with you. Eternal sorrow."

Under the bright moon, a group of people walked by the lake. The drunkard in the lead said that they wanted to enjoy the lake and the moon. Looking at Jack's messy footsteps, everyone still didn't know that there was a lake and moonlight scene under the wine jar.

Walking to a remote place, the green forest almost connected to Nanyue Lake. Jack leaned under the tree on the shore, admiring the moon view, the lake view, and the bottom of the wine jar. He kept yelling and talking crazy words.

Except for the matchmaker who was accompanying him, everyone else stood by the lake, wondering why they were following this man. Yan Yan squatted by the lake, and the Jie family brothers stood behind her. Watching this rare beauty in water clothes pick up a stone and throw it skillfully, causing it to float in the water.

The stone jumped one after another, creating more than ten ripples in succession, and disappeared without a trace. The Jie brothers had nothing to do, so Jie Liang also picked up a stone and threw it, causing more than ten ripples to appear. The lake surface, which had not yet returned to calm, became even more chaotic, which seemed to be a reflection of their current mood.

Waves of ripples interfered with each other, but this scene attracted the attention of the three people on the shore, and they all just watched. When the lake gradually calms down, the scenery reflected on the lake becomes clear again. Not to mention the mountains and forests, the four bright moons clearly reflected on the lake. This vague thought affected them.

Suddenly a fish hook entered the water, swinging open the calm water scene again. Later, Jack started doing stupid things again because he was just fishing, not for the fish. However, this did not hinder the three people near the lake. They just watched quietly, waiting for the moment when the lake surface returned to its original appearance.

The moon is clearly reflected on the lake again. All three of them were born in martial arts families and have been practicing martial arts since childhood. All their thoughts are naturally related to this aspect. Jie Qi was the first to express his feelings: "My father once said that the heart is like a clear mirror, still as still as water. I thought I understood it, but I didn't expect that today I realized that I didn't understand it at all."

It seemed like a fish was fiddling with the hook. This shaking caused small ripples to appear on the lake surface, disturbing the water surface and then stopped. Jie Liang looked at the calm lake surface and dropped another small stone. "If your heart is so chaotic, you won't be able to reflect the bright moon;" wait until the four bright moons in the sky clearly appear again. "If I can be so calm, then the bright moon will be on my chest. Alas, my father has told us these truths before, but we only really understand them today."

Yan Yan, who was squatting aside, looked at the water, thoughtfully.

"A bunch of pig heads." Jack was so drunk that he couldn't say anything in his heart, so he immediately cursed out. The three people who turned their heads all had slightly resentful expressions on their faces, as if they were dissatisfied with Jack's excessive accusation.

The drunk man burped before continuing to laugh at them: "Even idiots know that the moon is hanging in the sky, so you just have to look up to see it. Isn't it possible to see the moon without that shit lake?" As the ancients said: "Raise a glass to the bright moon and make three people in the shadow." "The cup is lifted...upward..." Jack held the wine jar high and looked up, but gradually became speechless, as if he had discovered something.

As for everyone else, they were all stupid once they understood what Jack said. Jie Liang returned to normal first and shook his hand with a dumb look on his face. "We are not discussing how to see the moon, but..."

"Matchmaker," Jack interrupted Jie Liang, and the matchmaker responded immediately after hearing the greeting.

"How many moons are there in the sky?"

The puzzled beauty also looked up and counted. "Ah Guo, Shi Nu, Da He, Bai Nu, except for Mei Yi who fell off inexplicably a few years ago, these are the four."

"Why did I see twelve..." Jack lowered his head blankly, startled. "Wow~! So many people! There's not enough wine!" He scratched his head and then high-fived in realization. "Oh~! I'm really drunk. Sleep, sleep." Without saying a word, he took back the fishing rod and threw it aside, then fell asleep with the wine jar as his pillow.

The matchmaker standing nearby didn't answer and just put away the fishing rod. He hugged his legs and bent his knees to sit next to Jack, also resting with his eyes closed.

The three men and women on the shore were left behind to look up. The bright moon and stars in the sky are at ease, there is no need to ask outside, they can be found by looking up.

Jie Liang suddenly took a step back hastily. In his eyes, the bright moon and stars were running fast; the earth was shaking, and the strong wind kept blowing past his ears and around him, which made him unable to stand for a moment. However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. After steadying his pace, the world returned to its original appearance, except for peace.

He looked at the two people beside him, both of them had the same panic expression, but they were unable to express it in words. He wondered if the three of them were surprised by the same thing. The three of them turned to look at the man who was snoring loudly. Their hearts were inexplicably throbbing, and they were all thinking about the same thing. "If you wake him up now, he might be killed." The matchmaker sitting next to Jack rested her head on her knees and had already fallen asleep with her body curled up.

He could only turn around helplessly and look up at the sky again. I hope I can experience that momentary feeling a few more times. But this night, they just stood there.

"Ah! The snow is clear and the wintersweet smells everywhere. Riding a donkey to cross the bridge scares my mother to death..." Jack woke up early in the morning, stretched himself, and sang a song. I saw three idiots standing by the lake with their heads raised. They sang out of tune and the words were wrong. "Hey! You three won't just stand like this all night, right?"

"Help..." Jie Qi faltered: "Help me! My neck... my neck is stiff..."

The other two people also immediately changed their positions, massaging their necks with their hands. I couldn't put my head down.

Standing up, Jack yawned and came behind Jie Qi. It was a blow from the hand that hit Jie Qi until he lowered his head, hugged his head, squatted on the ground and screamed. Jack looked at the other two people, held up the knife and smiled: "Do you need my help?"

Without saying much, he jumped back and shook his hands wildly. "No! No! No!..." Naturally, the head has not been put down yet.

He breathed into his fist, and Jack said a little unhappy: "Don't look like you are holding your head up and looking down on others. It's very irritating."

The two of them didn't move quickly when they heard this. Jie Liang squatted aside and massaged his neck vigorously; Yan Yan ran to the matchmaker who had just woken up and squeezed her gently. Jack just smiled and picked up the fishing rod, fish basket and wine jar on the ground. "Hey, get ready to go down the mountain." He covered his eyes and looked at the sunlight that had just risen over the mountain. "Ah~ it's good weather again today."

"Oh." The other four people replied casually, but they still stayed where they were and didn't move. Jack didn't pay much attention, raised his head, took another sip of wine, and walked down the mountain humming a tune.

Back on the streets of Meilong Town, the morning market has opened, and there are a lot of people coming and going. A group of five people walked on the street. Of course, Jack was drinking wine while looking at the scenery on the street; the matchmaker followed closely beside him. As for the other three people who had not slept all night, their eyes were red and they were yawning violently.

"Girl, don't be so shy. We are just doing it as a matter of routine."

"Yes, haven't you heard that the people from Mingjian Villa have hurt the first and third owner of the village? Now the second owner of the village is chasing them, and it is said that the person who did it was a blond and blue-eyed foreign dog. Look. You look the same, so you are very suspicious. Go to the teahouse with our brother obediently, and go to the bed to ask for advice. Otherwise, if Master Shi Er comes, we can only say that a blond girl is missing, and let him blame our brother."

In the street, a group of ruffians gathered around an out-of-towner to make fun of him, and the crowds of people passing by took the initiative to avoid them. As soon as Jie Liang heard the conversation, he quickly turned around and planned to remind Jack. But when he saw this man just burping and yawning, looking as if nothing had happened, he couldn't say anything. Maybe if you worry about "little things" like this, you'll get scolded by him. Alas~

On the other hand, the second younger brother beside him, Jie Qi, just stared at a group of people. He roared when he saw one of them each grabbing the blonde woman's hand and using their methods in the street. "Where did you get the killer! How unbecoming is it to molest a good woman in the street!" However, his internal injuries were not healed yet, so this roar made him cough again while holding his brother's shoulder.

The gangsters who heard the scolding were trying to find out who was hindering their good deeds, but they happened to see Jack drinking wine and walking past them ignoring their presence. People were hiding out of fear, and the streets seemed empty. Although Jack was not walking in the middle, he was still very conspicuous. Especially the tall and handsome girl following him with her head lowered.

A man who was used to being domineering put on a fierce look and walked forward. But the man who was drinking didn't care so much. Of course he just walked by and pretended not to see anything, including the scandalous things being done by this gang of scoundrels. This angered a lot of people, and the gangster in front immediately pulled Jack's shoulder and punched him. Before the matchmaker had time to help, Jack's leg flew out from under him.

The man who fell to the ground was holding his right foot and wailing. The broken bone of his thigh was protruding and blood was dripping from it. When their friends saw it, they yelled: "Where did the golden retriever come from! If you don't have anything to do with me, don't show off..." The drunken man didn't have any big reaction. He just turned around and headed towards the parked boat. The little dock moved forward as if the gangsters didn't exist. This surprised the group of people who were pointing at him and watching him leave.

The Jie family brothers and Yan Yan who were standing behind seemed a little helpless. They each looked at each other and shook their heads. As soon as he saw the gangsters trying to make a move, they stepped forward to chase Jack. Jie Liang turned around and blocked the rough man with a split palm. His eyes widened with anger, and with a sweep of his divine light, he forced everyone back. "If you want to die, just come up!"

While taking the shocking photos, some people also saw the warrior order on Jie Liang's body. Suddenly someone remembered that the group of people in front of them were the same people who punched a strong man away yesterday, and even thought of the news from Mingjian Villa. For a moment, no one dared to step forward, and the original arrogance turned into an awkward mood of not knowing what to do.

Without looking at the demeanor of the gangsters, Yan Yan hooked the blond woman's arm and walked out of the crowd. The Jie brothers only glanced at the gangster and then left.

"Why are you walking on the street alone? It's very dangerous to have no company and no acquaintances." Yan Yan hooked up with the woman she had just rescued, as if she was a good friend who had known her for a long time. This is her usual enthusiasm, but it makes the other party not used to it. "I...I'm waiting for a companion, but I don't know where he went."

The matchmaker in front was standing in front of the steamed bun stall and bought a few fresh meat buns. Jack was shouting that it was hot while adjusting the buns with his hands. When she saw other people, the matchmaker smiled and waved. "Want to eat?" He ordered a few more meat buns.

Walking on the street, the swordsman who didn't care about his appearance was eating steamed buns with some wine. The matchmaker, Yan Yan and the blond woman who were following behind were chatting about the girl's family, but the other two seemed to be just listeners. Only the Jie brothers followed Jack without saying a word.

I just finished eating the bun in my hand and was about to get another one from the matchmaker. Jack turned around and saw two stinky faces. He felt strange and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

In fact, they didn't quite approve of Jack's behavior, and they didn't know why they were following him, but it was hard to say these words. Jie Liang turned his attention to another topic: "The people from Mingjian Villa are still looking for you. Aren't you anxious? Jack."

Taking the bun from the matchmaker, Jack continued towards the small pier without paying much attention. "The legs are on his body, and where they go is his family's business. It has nothing to do with me."

Sure enough, this is the answer. Jie Liang sighed.

"Guan Mang, why did you come here?" A man ran over, and the blond woman responded happily: "Wu Ruo, I was harassed by a group of people just now, thanks to their help."

The man standing in front of the group of people bowed his fist and saluted. "Thank you for your help."

Jack just bit into the bun and nodded nonchalantly. He didn't stop, just walked in his own direction. Seeing that he was far away, the matchmaker just bowed and saluted, then ran to keep up with Jack. On the other hand, Yan Yan stood there and asked with a reproachful tone: "Where have you been just now? It's not safe to leave your companion alone." But her anger was very charming.

The man being questioned was not angry either. "I'm sorry, because things were complicated, we had to do it separately. I didn't consider this situation."

"You're right." Yan Yan scratched the man's face. "Okay, Guan Mang will return it to you, take good care of her." He smiled sweetly, one on each side, and attracted the two brothers from the Jie family who were still waiting for him to follow Jack's footsteps. The two people whose hands she raised were at a loss, not knowing how to react.

"Guan Mang, do you know who the blond man was just now?"

"I don't know. It sounds like they called him Jack...ah! Could it be..."

"Perhaps it's that person. But it has nothing to do with us yet. Let's find a way to complete the work assigned by the big devil first."

In Hui'an Town, a large group of people gathered in front of Xingchanglong Shop. The reason is none other than to see the exquisite knife skills of Xing Changlong's signature master. A butcher's knife looks like a dragon. It lifts the knife once and then pulls it out, cutting open the belly of the pig and cleaning out the belly. The butcher's knife also looks like a giant axe. It knocks up and down, cuts and cuts, and takes out a bunch of pig bones.

The steel fork struck, "Bake!" The butcher's knife turned on the finger, and the drill was nailed with a "Hold!" sound. Naturally, a waiter next to me took over and put the suckling pig on the grill for rotation. There are even people serving the honey, applying it layer by layer.

The fragrance is overflowing and makes people obsessed. The roasted suckling pig is returned to the drill. I changed to a butcher knife, which made several vertical cuts without leaving any marks, and several horizontal cuts without leaving any edges. He slapped the drill board hard and drank hard, and the suckling pig seemed to scatter into pieces. I saw that each piece was of similar size and was impartial. The spectators cheered loudly and cheered continuously.

After nailing the butcher knife back to the drill, the master holding the knife returned the favor. But seeing that he had a bare head, it seemed that everything that should be on his head had gone to his mouth. The body is thick and strong, no worse than the fat on the belly. The upper body is naked, facing the bright sun. Xing Changlong's fame far and wide is 90% due to him. Rely on the good knife skills and the delicious roasted suckling pig.

"Okay! Master Lu. You deserve the title of the best swordsman in the world."

"Haha, Cheng, Cheng, Cheng! Just call me the best swordsman in the world. It would be more true to call me the best butcher in the world. Don't make the brothers in the world a joke."

"Master Lu! Why do you have two knives and two diamonds on your shop? This is not in line with your shop's slogan: "One knife will kill all the pigs in the world, and there will be distinguished guests from far and near. ""

"Haha, sir, if you are not afraid of diarrhea after eating, I am naturally not afraid of using only one knife. The left one is for cutting raw meat, and the right one is for cutting cooked meat. This is for your belly and the shop. For the sake of the brand."

"Hahahaha~" The laughter continued for a while.

"Hey! Master Lu, it's hard to eat the pigs you roasted recently."

"Monty, Monty, even I won't eat my own roasted pig." He slapped the guy closest to him hard. "As my apprentice, green is indeed better than soap. I can't beat me in knife skills or roasting pigs. If you want to find delicious food, you have to go to him."

"Hahahaha~" There was another burst of laughter and humility. The waiter standing next to Master Lu just blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Master Lu, do you accept a different way of cutting the roasted suckling pig?"

"Sure~ As long as you can tell it, I can certainly tell it."

"Well, I want fat meat without lean meat, cut into hundreds of pieces; lean meat without fat, also cut into hundreds of pieces; roasted crispy skin without lean meat or fat, cut into pieces in the same way A hundred yuan for me. Another hundred yuan for half-skinny and half-fat. The same for half-skinned and half-fat. Finally, half-skinned and half-skinned only costs ninety-nine yuan. The size of each piece should be the same, the scale should be the same, and the taste should be the same. Similar, but I only want half a pig."

"Who are you kidding me!" "Nonsense!" The butcher's knife hit the drill again, and Master Lu looked at the crowd of spectators angrily. Is there a somewhat familiar figure? Taking a closer look, he saw a blond man with a fishing rod on his shoulder, a wine jar, and a mischievous smile.

"What a good guy! He hasn't been seen for more than ten years, and he suddenly appears and is looking for trouble with me."

After walking out of the shop, Master Lu watched the guy coming to find trouble. The crowd of onlookers naturally separated, and when they saw this blond man with blue eyes, they didn't want to avoid or hide. The four people behind him are even more extraordinary in appearance and have their own characteristics. But the tallest woman pulled the man's sleeve worriedly.

Suddenly there was a series of high-fives. Looking carefully, Master Lu had already caught the blond man's fists with his fists.

"Good guy, your skills haven't fallen short yet."

"How could I forget this."

"Hahahaha~!" The two looked at each other and laughed. As for the four people standing at the back, each one was more surprised than the other, especially in the round of fighting just now. It was hard to see clearly how many punches they had thrown and how many punches they had returned...

Bowing in all directions, Master Lu said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, I haven't seen this brother for many years. Please forgive me for sending him back early."

"It doesn't matter." "As long as Brother A Niu is here, it will be fine." "I'll see your sword again tomorrow."...

"Understood, understood." Master Lu put his arm around the blond man's shoulders and walked towards the shop. He told the waiter on the side: "Aniu, prepare a suckling pig, and I'll entertain a brother."

"Master, I understand."

After walking into the shop, the shopkeeper personally came to greet him. "Master Lu, who are these...?"

"My brother, the shopkeeper will bring you good wine and meat. I ordered a suckling pig for Aniu."

"Okay," the shopkeeper looked at the others and asked, "What about the others?"

"It's okay, it's okay, let's follow together." Master Lu shook his hands wildly, and the shopkeeper also smiled and asked: "Then I don't know where the master will use it?"

"Just come into my house, and the business place will not be in the way."

"Yes, things will arrive later."

"Wouldn't it hinder your business?"

"Jack, when did you become so black and white? I have left the meat drill to A Niu Duo for a long time. I just go up occasionally to show off my skills. This store is so prosperous and you have to do everything by yourself. Isn't that exhausting? I."

"Too."

The two of them were laughing and chatting, but the four following them were all thinking about what kind of relationship these two had in the past.
