Chapter Twenty: On the Cross Slope
The sun was high in the sky, the wind and snow were not coming down, and on an important traffic road on the border of Mengzhou, there was a hillock, called a cross slope.
There are towering trees on the slope, and there is a wine shop on top of it. At this time, in the wine shop, a woman is yawning and wiping the tables and chairs in boredom.
I saw that the woman was wearing a bright red silk skirt and her face was rouged and powdered. Her voluptuous body was covered by a thick cotton jacket, but her neckline was lowered, revealing her full breasts.
"It's such a cold day. There's not a single unlucky person, but doesn't it mean our livelihood is cut off?"
The woman complained towards the back of the wine shop. Hearing her words, the curtains in the back were opened, revealing a man wearing a thick cotton coat and holding two sharp boning knives in his hands.
The man grinned and said with a shy smile: "Madam, it's a windy and snowy day. Since there are no fat sheep coming to the door, why don't we close the shop and have a good rest."
"You are a useless wimp, but you want me to suffer with you. Let me tell you, if you can't open the vegetable garden today, I, Sun Erniang, will cut off your ears and drink wine to eat." The woman looked fierce.
Cursed.
This couple is none other than a nuisance to the Mengzhou territory. The man is called Cai Yuanzi - Zhang Qing, and the woman is called Nu Yaksha - Sun Erniang.
These two men were located on a cross-slope traffic thoroughfare and ran a black shop. They often used sweat medicine to numb pedestrians who came to take a rest. After killing the pedestrians, they washed and marinated large pieces of meat and sold them as yellow beef.
Small meat, chopped into pieces to make human meat steamed buns.
There is a rumor in the rivers and lakes: "Who dares to pass by the cross slope of the big tree? The fat ones are cut into steamed bun fillings, but the thin ones are thrown away to fill the river!!!"
What these two people did was to harm a person's body, which was unconscionable. However, they were also afraid of ruining their reputation in the world, so they established a rule that "third-class people must not be bad":
That is to say, the wandering monks will not be killed, the prostitutes traveling in the rivers and lakes will not be killed, and the criminals and homeless people everywhere will not be killed.
But it’s not like she wants to be a bitch and want to build a memorial arch at the same time.
Zhang Qing was about to answer, but his eyes were outside the door of the wine shop. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth raised. On his originally honest and honest face, his brows were murderous, and his eyes showed a fierce look, and he smiled directly at Sun Erniang.
"Madam, you are not too pitiful to let me keep these ears. It's time for us to open up a profitable business."
Sun Erniang turned her head and followed Zhang Qing's line of sight, and saw a huge man wearing a mink hat walking quickly up the slope in the wind and snow.
The two looked at each other, then Zhang Qing turned around and went back to the kitchen. Sun Erniang picked up her spirits and continued to wipe the tables and chairs as if nothing had happened.
But in the blink of an eye, the big man had arrived at the door of the wine shop, and shouted towards the wine shop with a loud voice: "Housekeeper, quickly cut five kilograms of soy sauce beef with Sajia, and warm up a jar of wine. Sajia will eat three or two before he is on his way."
"
When Sun Erniang heard this, she thought to herself, but she was not about to send you off, and then she walked towards the door with a charming smile on her face.
She was far away just now and couldn't see clearly. Now the big man came closer, but Sun Erniang felt a shiver in her heart.
I saw this big man with a round face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a beard on his cheek. He was eight feet long and ten inches wide at the waist. He was carrying a heavy package in one hand and a water-milled iron Zen staff in the other.
It's a bit daunting.
The big man glanced at Sun Erniang, frowned slightly, and said: "You woman, you do business as long as you do business, but what are you doing with your white breasts exposed?"
Sun Erniang didn't care on her face, but she suppressed the fearful emotion in her heart. She condemned the big man to death, tightened her collar, and said with a smile: "It's the middle of winter now, the wind and snow are heavy, and there are few people on the slopes.
Here we are, my husband and I, without thinking much about it, we just dressed as comfortable as we could, but it was a joke to the guest officer."
The big man listened to his words and said without saying much, "That's all, Sajia can't talk about you. I just want to bring some wine and meat to Sajia quickly. After eating, Sajia has to go on his way."
Sun Erniang poured him a cup of hot tea, said "Wait a moment", and walked into the inner kitchen.
The big man put his luggage at his feet, pulled off the mink hat on his head, revealing a huge, shiny bald head, and held up the hot tea in front of him with one hand, thinking to himself.
But it wasn't that the Sa family was trying to get into trouble. They walked straight for more than a month before reaching Mengzhou. That heroic figure like Dulonggang Taishan Lord saved my brother Lin Chong, but the Sa family almost made a mistake and neglected the gift that Brother Yan wanted to send
Congratulations.
Fortunately, Mr. Taishan's wedding is still half a month away. After finishing this meal of wine and meat, Sajia can travel faster and meet at Dulonggang earlier.
"Bah. It's unlucky that after waiting for a few days, a monk comes."
Zhang Qing, who was in the kitchen inside, looked through the door curtain and saw the man outside taking off his mink hat, and spat.
When Sun Erniang heard this, she poured all the sweat medicine in her hand into the wine jar in front of her. With a murderous look on her face and a fierce look in her eyes, she said sternly: "What's the matter with the monk? Not to mention that it hasn't been opened for several days. That's it."
Just now the monk dared to speak rudely to my mother, so I will send him to see the King of Hell."
"Madam, if he breaks it, doesn't he break our rules?" Zhang Qing said anxiously.
"What bullshit rules? You are doing the business of killing people and plundering goods, and you still have to abide by the rules. Can you see the baggage at the monk's feet? Let me tell you, I just took a closer look. There are bulging and jingling sounds inside, and they are not gold.
It's just money." Sun Erniang scolded in a low voice.
After Zhang Qing heard this, he fell into deep thought. After a while, he took out the sauced meat from the pot and handed it to Sun Erniang, expressing his position.
Sun Erniang saw this and laughed in a low voice: "That's right. If nothing else, the monk's fat body alone is enough for us to sell him for half a month."
…
Sun Erniang came out of the kitchen with the sauced meat and warm wine, put the wine and meat on the table in front of the big man, arranged them one by one, and said with a smile: "Have a good meal, sir. If you need anything else, just say hello."
yes."
The big man heard this and waved his hand, indicating that he should step back and do what he wanted.
After eating a few chopsticks of sauced pork, the big man frowned. The sauced pork seemed to have a strange taste, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He just felt that the taste was not very different from what he had eaten in the past.
The big man didn't think much about it. He opened the cover of the wine jar, held the jar and drank a few big mouthfuls of hot wine. He felt that his whole body suddenly became clear.
However, such a comfortable feeling only lasted for a moment. The big man felt that the world was spinning, his feet were rising and falling like he was riding on waves, his eyelids were heavy and drooping, and he vaguely felt that there was a man and a woman looking at him with a mocking face, and then he
He fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang heard the commotion outside and walked out of the kitchen. But when they saw Zhang Qing, holding a boning knife, he stepped forward and took two steps at a time to kill the big man.
At the most critical moment, I suddenly heard an angry shout outside the door of the wine shop.
"Thief~~"
I saw two iron melon hammers flying in one after another from outside the door. One happened to knock the deboning knife in Zhang Qing's hand to the ground, and the other forced him to take a few steps back.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, an ugly man who was more than seven feet long and had a pockmarked face rushed into the house. While Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang and his wife were hesitating, they picked up the big man who was knocked to the ground and fled out.
