Chapter 52

A group of people surrounded the stove, eating beef with chopsticks in one hand, and gnawing on the steamed buns brought by the Chen couple in the other.

The woman is from the rivers and lakes, and she has always been open-minded. In addition, she has produced meat and done work, so she has no scruples. At this time, she neither cares about etiquette nor image, and only eats meat.

Chen Han's family was a bit restrained at first, after all, they only produced steamed buns, and the husband and the heroine were already kind to themselves, and now they have to cook for their family, which is really embarrassing.However, Song You's cooking skills are indeed ahead of this era, and the food is now, and the constraints are a little less.

Song You's craftsmanship is really nothing to say.

Not to mention this era, it is the previous life, with so many seasonings, abundant and easy-to-get ingredients, and such convenient information exchange, the level of cooking is still uneven across the country, and there are many gourmet depressions.

Everyone is unwilling to admit that the food cooked in their own province is not good, but most of them agree that people in certain provinces are better at cooking.

Not to mention this era.

Song You even spent a lot of money on spices. These days, it is mainly rich people who often use spices for cooking. Common people even have to save salt. How can they be so particular about it?

"Hiccup~"

The woman drank the soup cleanly, and the Chen couple hurried forward and scrubbed the pot on their own initiative.

"Let's go together?"

The woman squinted at Song You: "We knew each other from the beginning, now we have eaten our meal, and we are on the way. If we don't walk together, we will meet again and again on the way down, so why not say hello again and again?"

"rational."

Song You also nodded in agreement.

When they went on the road again, one person became six people.

The Chen couple took their children back to their hometown to see the old man. The child has weak legs and walks much slower than before.

The woman's character is also very out of character.

We just met each other, and after a short time together, we see that we are still a bit calm, but after walking together for a long time, maybe we couldn't hold back anymore, so we showed our naughty and restless temperament——

Sometimes she ran to talk to Sanhua Mao, sometimes looked Song You's horse up and down, sometimes teased the children of Chen's family, sometimes rode her horse and lay down in a daze, sometimes jumped onto the boulder on the side of the road to look at the road ahead, and sometimes fell behind alone and twitched. Cutting grass with a knife and playing, when the Chen family's children are tired, they will hug one and sit on her horse, which is also a kind person.

From her, Song You saw the cute side of Jianghu people.

People are living a hard life these days. Girls marry early and boys take charge of the family early. Everyone reveals a maturity that has been overwhelmed by the burden of life. This kind of character may only be found in the Jianghu.

It has to be the rivers and lakes of this world.

In the afternoon, I encountered a bandit again.

The woman is a Jianghu person who pays attention to responsibility. When walking in the Jianghu and encountering Jianghu affairs, naturally she can't back down, and she immediately rushes to the front and goes forward to negotiate.

This process seems really interesting to Song You——

When you meet, bow your hands first, talk hard, lower your figure, and declare yourself, this is the world.

Those thieves can't let her come forward to talk to her, they have to use some hands, feet, and words to test the teachings, but in the eyes of the Jianghu people, this seems to have become a rule, so they don't think it is offensive or provocative.

After you have dealt with all of them one by one, it means that you are indeed the same kind of person, and it also means that you really have the ability to talk to them on an equal footing, and only then will there be a possibility of negotiation.

This season is also special.

The Liujiang General Assembly is just around the corner, and Anqing is less than a hundred miles away. I don't know how many people from the rivers and lakes gathered here.

In the usual way, even if they were well-known gangsters, these bandits might not let them go easily.Since he was alone, he had to save something.However, at this time, is there any descendant of the famous sect who came here alone to participate in the conference?Don't give enough face, don't say that a group of people came to ask for an explanation, and I'm afraid that other people from the rivers and lakes will come to join in the fun after hearing it.

At least the bandits I met today were smart.

It's just that the woman is not alone.

The thief pointed to the back and asked: "Who is that group of people? There is not much oil and water in this place, and it's all right for the heroine to pass by me and wait for the mountain. Do you want to take a few people away?"

"Those are my uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces. As for that Taoist, hey, he is very poor. How can you compete with him?"

"really?"

"I was sent from Xishan to Liujiang to participate in the meeting. The elders and brothers of the division all went to Anqing. If there were no relatives to pick them up, what would I do by myself in Lingbo County, which is not a shit?"

"The Xishan faction is in Yizhou, why did your uncle and aunt come here?"

"They're all hard-working people, why don't they find a way to survive?" The woman glanced at the bandits, and then sighed, "It's all the heroes, if there is no way to survive down the mountain, how could they go up the mountain?"

Regardless of the truth or falsehood of this statement, it really touched the hearts of the bandits.

Fallen grass is a bandit, how can it be so chic?
Cutting the road and robbing wealth, it is necessary to be stained with blood, the crime is getting worse, how can it be so easy to sleep at night?Officers and soldiers come every year, and every time they have to cut off a stubble, who knows that it won't be their turn this year?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay for a moment, but still cupped their hands.

"Woman, please go away..."

"I don't want to say more words of thanks, there will be a period later!"

The woman also handcuffed with them, and then she turned back and led the crowd through.

Song You passed by slowly, just thoughtful.

What the woman said is true and false, and there is still some truth in the truth, which also reveals the helplessness of life in these years.And her words and deeds seem to be copying the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, with a strict eye, thinking carefully, whether it is the respect she gave at the beginning, the inadvertent deterrence of the teacher later, or the heart-to-heart sentiment at the end, they are combined with each other to achieve this. The easiest way to pass.

If force is used, trouble and bloodshed are inevitable.

I'm afraid it's hard to say whether I win or lose.

"This heroine."

"Huh? Call me?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Hey! Are you not satisfied?"

"You seem to prefer female heroes."

"How do you know?"

"It can be seen."

"How did you get it?"

"Expression, tone."

"You are..."

The woman realized that this was what she said to him last night, so she grinned and asked:
"What do you want me to do?"

"I want to hear about this world from the mouth of the heroine."

"What do you listen to Jianghu?"

"Since traveling the world, how can I miss the rivers and lakes."

"It makes sense." The woman nodded as a sign of approval, and smiled again, "But this is not something that can be said in one or two sentences."

"I'm afraid it will be tomorrow night in Anqing."

"Ten pennies."

"Whoa..."

Song You took out a small handful of money from his pocket and counted out ten coins.

As soon as the woman took it, she started talking.

Song You listened quietly, sorting things out in his head.

Jianghu is a big concept in ancient books. It is opposite to the word "limited", which means everything and infinity.

The later rivers and lakes were after Buddhism was introduced to the East. Buddhist monks had the need to preach and communicate, and they often walked in the land of three rivers and two lakes, which is called walking the rivers and lakes.

Later, this concept was extended and magnified, and gradually no longer belonged to Buddhist monks, but belonged to the whole world.At this time, it has become a word opposite to "temple" and "government". Although it is not as big as Jianghu in ancient books, it is still a very big word.

Monks and Taoists are rivers and lakes, and businessmen and husbands are also rivers and lakes.

Bandits and bandits are rivers and lakes, and the morons in the city are also rivers and lakes.

Civil gangs are rivers and lakes, and Caoyan Freight is also a rivers and lakes.

Even mountain hermits are considered quacks.

The rivers and lakes are full of different situations in the world, and the human relationship is cold and warm. The major gangs and fighting and killing only account for a very small part of it.

As far as the forces of the rivers and lakes are concerned, a hundred flowers are blooming.

It's just that most of them are not like martial arts novels, they are all about practicing martial arts and teaching martial arts. It seems that the purpose of existence and the way of continuation are to teach good fighters.Martial arts are one of the tools to help people eat, but martial arts cannot be used as food directly. The main purpose of these forces is to make money, or to help themselves make better money.

There are escort bureaus that mainly rely on darts to make a living.

There is the Caobang Salt Gang, a secret association that was originally formed spontaneously by smugglers, sailors, and smugglers to protect their own interests.

There are local gangs, each with their own way of making money.

Some are established through faith, such as some Taoist temples that do not learn magic but learn martial arts or learn a little bit, and some sects established under the banner of certain gods or even illegal religions at all.

There are also Wuguan Mountain Gates that mainly focus on martial arts and earn money by recruiting disciples to teach martial arts.

For different purposes, some princes and generals also raised some Jianghu sects, and even some Jianghu sects were not upright in blood, and had the shadow of people from the Western Regions or Saibei people.

It's just that the rivers and lakes are dangerous, the laws are not strict, and there are demons and ghosts. If you want to walk in the rivers and lakes, besides knowing the rules, you also need some martial arts as your capital.

The Xishan School is located in Yizhou. The mountain gate is three hundred miles away from Yidu, at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Relying on Yizhou's prosperous economy and culture in the past few hundred years, it has gradually grown. It can be regarded as a big school in the world.According to this woman, she is one of the biggest forces in Jianghu, and her disciples are all famous for their martial arts.

However, when walking in the rivers and lakes, if it is not necessary, few people will kill people with a knife.

Be able to speak the truth or speak the truth.

Just like these bandits, in the words of women, most of the bandits in the world are evildoers, and if you count them, there are many people who deserve to die.But after all, human life is greater than the sky. Such a big court has to report the death penalty to the central government, and then the emperor personally decides to divide the crime of murder into many shares, so that everyone can share it equally. What about killing people?

As for the ordinary people who come out to the rivers and lakes, which one is not bitter and which one is not difficult, there may be family members, and some quarrels and conflicts have killed their lives, which is a serious crime.

This can be regarded as a common thought among people in the Jianghu these days.

Song You was thinking while listening.

Regardless of right or wrong, good or bad, just the general ideas and concepts of people in the Jianghu in this era is more or less a corner of the era, and it is enough for him to understand and gain.

In the afternoon of the next day, arrive at Gudu.

It is the place where Song You disembarked before.

Chen Han respectfully said to Song You and the woman: "Thanks to the two benefactors for their help on this journey. There are still dozens of miles of mountain roads to go to Anqing. It is not necessarily faster to go by water, but it is much more comfortable. It is better for the two benefactors to go with us. Let’s walk together on the water, get off at Anqing Ferry, and our husband and wife will pay for the boat, although it’s not much, it’s considered repayment.”

The woman looked up at Song You:
"How do you choose?"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness, but the next one is coming by water, and then going to Anqing, you should go by land." Song You clasped his hands and replied.

"Just as I thought!"

The woman smiled and clasped her fists at Chen Han: "Don't say polite words. The mountains are high and the road is far away. See you in the rivers and lakes. Let's just say goodbye. That is, if I pass by your door one day when I am down and out, I will treat you to a meal."

"This villain will never forget."

As Chen Han spoke, he gave them a big gift again.

"Go, go, go..."

The woman didn't stop him from saluting, but accepted it calmly, only waved her hands repeatedly, urging him to leave quickly.
