Chapter 40 The scholar was humiliated and wrote a strange book
Xiao Liu looked at the scholar's extremely disappointed look and got up and walked over.
The scholar did not notice Xiaoliu's arrival at all. Maybe he noticed it, but he was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Xiaoliu.
Xiao Liu sat on the chair, picked up the clean chopsticks on the table, picked up the food that no one had touched on the table and tasted it.
"Well, it's really good. Brother Big Mouth is good at craftsmanship!" Xiao Liu couldn't help but praise him with satisfaction after tasting it. Their meal has not been served yet.
The scholar opposite saw Xiaoliu coming over and thought Xiaoliu was here to comfort him, but he didn't expect that Xiaoliu was here to eat food.
However, the scholar continued to remain as still as a mountain on the surface. Xiao Liu smiled when he looked at such a scholar. He picked up a glass of wine on the table that he had not drunk even a mouthful of wine, tasted it, and nodded.
‘Well, this wine is not mixed with water, it’s quite fragrant!’
The scholar continued to be unmoved.
Xiao Liu looked at the exquisite wine glass in his hand and said leisurely.
"I bought songs and laughed in the golden white wall, and I was drunk for a long time. Brother Xiucai, how free and easy did Li Taibai be able to write such beautiful poems?"
When the scholar heard Xiaoliu's inquiry, he was moved. He twisted his mouth, picked up the wine on the table and started drinking it hard, one cup after another, and finally he simply blew directly into the bottle, as if he wanted to get himself drunk.
Seeing the scholar like this, Xiao Liu didn't persuade him, and continued to look at the wine glass in his hand and said to himself.
"The water flows even more when you draw a knife and cut off the water, and raise a glass to relieve your sorrow. Wine! Wine! Throughout history, why do so many literati and poets like to use you to relieve your sorrow? What are you good about?"
The scholar turned a blind eye to it and continued to drink desperately.
The shopkeeper at the door had already sent Mr. Zhu back at this time. Seeing the scholar drunk, he hurriedly came forward to stop him, but was stopped by Lao Bai.
Lao Bai signaled Xiao Liu opposite the table. Everyone stopped clearly when they saw this, and planned to see the situation first.
"Taigong met King Wen at 80, and Han Xin was also humiliated by the crotch before he became famous. Do you think they are talentless? Or are the people around them without vision?" Xiao Liu continued to ask with a smile.
"Himmer~" The scholar seemed to be full, and he put down the wine pot in his hand and said heavily.
"What they lack is an opportunity, and what I, Lu Qinghou, lacks is also an opportunity. One day I will be on the list of gold and glorious, and I will be proud of my ancestors!"
As he said that, the scholar threw the wine pot in his hand to the ground with a "bang", and the wine pot was smashed into pieces.
"My celadon wine pot!" The shopkeeper shouted in distress as he looked at the fragments all over the ground.
However, I don’t know if it’s because I’m drunk, but the usual regular scholar is a brave and heroic student at this time. He ignored the shopkeeper and stood up and walked towards the backyard, as if he wanted to study hard.
Everyone looked at the scholars who were all in love with each other. Is this the honest and stupid scholar they usually know?
Xiao Liu also smiled as he looked at the scholar's back as he left. It was better to provoke him than to persuade him.
"Come on, let's have a meal." Xiao Liu looked at the shopkeeper standing at the door and staring at the scene blankly and greeted him without hesitation.
As he said that, he picked up a few bites of dishes and tasted them by himself. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider.
"The food is here!"
At this time, Dazui also brought the food from the kitchen. Seeing this, Xiao Liu hurriedly returned to his table and started eating, and casually left the bowl and chopsticks.
Although the shopkeeper felt a little confused when he saw this, he still asked everyone to have a meal first. Today was a happy day. Unexpectedly, when Mr. Zhu visited his home, Xiao Bei was not criticized, but was praised by Da Quat.
The shopkeeper was so happy that he picked up food for Xiao Bei, which made Xiao Bei a little at a loss.
Xiaoliu and Lao Xing were also chatting while having a delicious dinner. After running for an afternoon today, their stomachs were already empty.
In the lobby, everyone had a happy meal.
In the backyard, the scholar and the big-mouthed house were in the house, who had originally returned to the house and planned to study hard, but at this time, he was drunk and fell asleep directly on the desk.
...
When the wine ends, the people are gone, the night is still so quiet, the moon is still so gentle, but people have their own thoughts.
Some people wake up in their dreams and look at the moon in a melancholy; some people sigh and think of old friends in a chess game; some people care about their mothers and hope for their health; some people are mixed with joy and sorrow, confused and unaware of it; some people are eager to remember their homes and hope to write; some people are worried and can't sleep at night; some people are full of doubts and hesitation.
No matter what others do, in the martial arts training ground of the Seven Heroes County Government, a light shadow is still flying up and down, and the silver-white sword light dances in the sky.
——————————————————————————————————————
On the second day, the lives of the people in Qixia Town were still as usual, but the county government was very lively.
Ten newly recruited newcomers came to the county government to report that after the lecture from Lou County Magistrate, they went to the division to register one by one, and after receiving the official sword and uniform, they were divided into two teams.
Each team has six people, one team led by Lao Xing and the other team led by Xiao Liu.
Today, the people led by Lao Xing were guarding Qixia Town. Early in the morning, Lao Xing took them to patrol the streets and handed them over what to do.
The people led by Xiaoliu left Qixia Town early in the morning and headed towards Beikou Village and Heifengling.
"Person Captain Yan, what are we going to do?" A newly-made detective asked in confusion. He was one of the three people who sat at the same table with Xiaoliu yesterday.
As Xiaoliu expected, his master assigned all the people who sat at the same table with him yesterday to his team, and the remaining two were also people who were more familiar with the situation in Beikou Village and Heifengling.
Xiao Liu looked at the nervous eyes of everyone, without hiding them, and said bluntly.
"Go to recruit people. The hunters in this mountain are the most familiar with the situation in Cuiwei Mountain. With their joining, it will be much easier to deal with these bandits."
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, and at the same time they let go of their uneasiness. They thought they were going to fight the bandits now.
Xiao Liu smiled helplessly when he saw everyone like this. To be honest, he really didn't expect these people to fight bandits. These people just recharge, run errands, patrol the streets, waving flags and shouting, and scaring bandits.
In Xiaoliu's opinion, if you really want to deal with bandits, you still have to look at the hunters in the two villages of Heifengling and Beikou Village.
These hunters are brave and hunt in the mountains every day. The combat capabilities of the mountains and forests are definitely outstanding. In addition, they can set traps, so they are simply the best candidates to fight bandits.
In addition, behind them is their home, and they fight against bandits, which is definitely the kind of desperate.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of hunters was too small, Xiao Liu would not recommend his master to recruit these ordinary people.
...
Xiao Liu and his team set out earlier this time, so they had already arrived at Beikou Village before they arrived.
Since Xiaoliu had already informed them two days ago that there were really bandits in Cuiwei Mountain, they seemed a little scared these two days. Even if they were hunting in the mountains, they didn't dare to go too far, for fear of meeting the bandits.
Now seeing Constable Yan coming again and bringing a large number of people, Yijia, led by the village chief, hurriedly surrounded him and asked about the situation. How did the government plan to deal with these bandits?
After Xiao Liu's detailed answer, everyone's hearts were relieved, and most of the hunters and woodcutters in the village were willing to join Xiao Liu's team.
These people include Zhang and Lin, who had brought Xiaoliu into the mountain before, and there were a total of seven.
With the addition of these seven people, Xiaoliu's team has expanded to thirteen people. Although the number of people is still a little small, with these people who are familiar with the terrain joining, Xiaoliu has increased a little confidence.
