CHAPTER 35. THIRTY-FIVE YEAR OF THE KITCHEN GOD'S WIFE 237
Shizheng of Tibetan Scripture Repeated Seven
Old Beggar extended his hand and pulled Zhang Danian, indicating him to sit and talk.
Zhang Danian sat down, but he was still a little uneasy.
The Old Beggar laughed: "Little brother, let me ask you, there are too many people surnamed Wu in this world, there are also tens of thousands of people named Wu Soong, how did you know that I am that tiger fighting Wu Erlang?"
Zhang Danian scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I guessed -"
Old Beggar said curiously: "Oh, then tell me about it."
Zhang Danian mustered up his courage and said: "There are thousands and thousands of people called Wu Soong in the world, but Wu Soong who are as strong as you are, can only be a tiger in the world."
Old Beggar laughed out loud. "I haven't even moved a finger or a leg, how can you tell that I'm capable? You little devil, you don't seem to be speaking the truth. "
After Zhang Danian and the Old Beggar had a conversation, only after seeing the Old Beggar speak in a casual manner did he relax and then said to the Old Beggar: "You have such a big atmosphere and know so many things, even my Jiang Xiaobai could tell at a glance that you have been through the Yin, is your ability not great enough? Furthermore, there isn't a single beggar in the world who has gold embroidery on their sleeves. Say, who else do you think you are other than that Wu Erlang who fought against tigers? "
Old Beggar laughed out loud. "Little brat, you're really smart. This fact suits my taste."
Zhang Danian looked at Old Beggar, his eyes rolling, and asked: "Only one thing I don't understand, I heard from the adults on the streets of Lin'an Palace that when you were conquest for Fang La, you had your left arm chopped off by the bad guy Bao Daoyi, and after that, when you returned after winning a great victory, you didn't want to return to Liang Jing, so you left and became a monk. However, I didn't see that you were missing a left arm, and I didn't see you dressed up like a monk, what is going on?"
Wu Soong laughed, extended his hand and caressed Zhang Danian's head, then placed his left hand on the table, he smiled and said to Zhang Danian: "Little brat, caress and look -"
Zhang Danian was curious, and did not understand what Wu Soong's intention was for this action. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly reached out his hand and touched Wu Soong's left hand.
Wu Soong's left hand had very thick joints, and the skin on his hand was even swarthy, as if it had been exposed to the sun for many years, thus resulting in its current state.
When Zhang Danian's right hand touched Wu Soong's left hand, he felt that it was cold, Zhang Danian was startled and quickly retracted his hand.
Wu Soong was a little pleased: "How is it, my iron hand?"
Zhang Danian's jaw almost dropped out of shock. "What?
Wu Soong nodded his head, and laughed: "That's right, back then I had one of my left arms cut off by Bao Daoyi, so I had no choice but to think of another way, luckily my brother, Jin Da Jian, the Jade Arms Craftsman of Mount Liang, Jin Da Jian, gave me a steel arm like this, the iron arms wrapped around my left shoulder fit perfectly, just like it was natural, hehe, I thought back to when I was called Wu Er Lang of Iron Arms, I never thought that it would happen when I was old." Pausing for a moment, Wu Soong said: "As for the matter of this old man going out home, it is not false, but when this old man was young, he was once the leader. After I left home, even though I managed to get rid of my bald head and entered the empty doors, this old man kept thinking about those old brothers of Liang Shan, so every two or three years, this old man would raise my hair, put on the clothes of a beggar, and put on this iron arm that Brother Jin Dajian made for me, walking around in the rivers and lakes. Firstly, I met my friend from the past, and secondly, I wanted to take a break. After all, in that monk's temple, I read scriptures every day, which annoyed me to death. Hehe, I met you today. You were like an old friend to this old man, speaking in such a speculative manner, this old man was careless and revealed his identity. Little brat, you better not speak of it. Do you know? "
Wu Soong looked at Zhang Danian, his eyes filled with laughter.
It was as if he himself was doing something extremely amusing.
Zhang Danian finally understood.
The reason why Wu Soong disguised himself, put on old clothes, wore iron hands, and had a head of long hair was so that no one would find out he was sneaking out of the temple.
To think that Wu Soong, who had been bestowed the title of the master of Qingzhong and also known as the hero of Liang Mountain, who had fought to the south, killed Fang La, killed Tian Hu, and was not willing to lose face in front of others, this was why he transformed into a beggar.
Zhang Danian hurriedly said: "Senior Wu, of course, whatever you do, junior will keep it a secret and will not tell anyone else.
Wu Soong laughed, "Little brat, didn't this old man call you little brother just now? You can just call me big brother. "
After all, Wu Soong had greatly improved himself. Was it really appropriate for to call him big brother in such a rash manner?
Seeing Zhang Danian's hesitation, Wu Soong face revealed a look of displeasure, and said: "I thought you were a clever little ghost, then I knew you were so wooden, like a piece of wood. Forget it, you don't want to call me big brother, and this old man is also not willing to drink with you, this piece of wood. "I'm leaving."
Wu Soong's face revealed unhappiness, he then flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
Zhang Danian anxiously apologized: "Big Brother Wu, you're mistaken, I just feel that the age difference between us is too huge, it's not appropriate. Since you don't mind, then I will recognize you as my big brother.
Wu Soong then laughed out loud, turned and sat down, then laughed: "Little brat, it's fate that we meet each other. Come, drink with me."
At that time, Zhang Danian did not know that Wu Soong had actually specially come for him.
This was not an ordinary encounter.
The two of them were drinking until their ears were burning, but it was getting late. Zhang Danian's face reddened, and called Wu Soong: "Big brother, how about we go back to my house to continue drinking, after staying here for a long time, my family will come to find me, my home is right around here ~"
Zhang Danian drank until his face flushed red, yet, Wu Soong drank two catties of wine down his throat, his face still as normal. Wu Soong nodded his head: "Okay, but when we reach your home, you are not allowed to reveal my identity and background," after thinking for a bit, Wu Soong told Zhang Danian: "Just say my surname is Hong. At your house, just call me Big Brother Hong."
Zhang Danian nodded, he was so drunk that he could barely keep his eyes open.
Then, one old and one young, the old man actually supported the young one all the way to the Zhang Mansion and knocked on the door. The servant of the Zhang Residence came out and was shocked to see Zhang Danian.
After all, this young master had never seen him drink since he was young, under Zhang Dayu's guidance.
Jiang Xiaobai also ran over from afar. She opened her eyes and looked at her little mistress curiously.
Zhang Danian squinted his eyes and looked at the servant, then closed his eyes in relief and called out to the servant: "Laifu, give this, Wu, Wu, no, Big brother Hong find a place to sleep, don't let him leave, tomorrow I will continue drinking with him." After barely finishing this sentence, Zhang Danian's head tilted to the side as he fell asleep.
Wu Soong laughed and said to the servant: "Does your young master rarely drink?"
The servant stuck out his tongue and supported Zhang Danian, then turned to Wu Soong and said: "Young Master has never tasted wine, this is the first time."
Wu Soong nodded. He then followed the servant and brought Zhang Danian back to his bedroom. The servant then brought Wu Soong to the guest room and after settling down, Lai Fu left the room and Lai Fu closed the door.
After Wu Soong finished washing his clothes, he laid on the bed. His eyes were bright as he looked at the ceiling, as though he was thinking about something.
"..."
The night passed without a word and soon enough, Wu Soong was woken up by Lai Fu and was invited to the dining hall to eat. Zhang Dayu and his Sissi had gone out to play and had not come back yet.
There was only Zhang Danian in the dining hall. Seeing Wu Soong walk in, Zhang Danian felt slightly embarrassed, he anxiously stood up to welcome him: "Wu, Big Brother Hong, I'm sorry, sorry for the first time yesterday, I drank too much."
Wu Soong laughed, "What about that? Do any of us from the Scripture Pavilion know how to drink? "
Zhang Danian was stunned, and asked curiously: "What Scripture Pavilion?"
Wu Soong looked at him deeply, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Nothing. Is there still a headache? "
Zhang Danian shook his head and laughed: "It doesn't hurt anymore. After a night of sleep, it's much better, and when I woke up in the morning, it was a bit uncomfortable. Regarding what kind of Scripture Pavilion Wu Soong was talking about earlier, he did not question further.
The two of them had breakfast and tea, and they chatted as they drank. Wu Soong looked at Zhang Danian, and said softly: I heard that you have an iron box?
Zhang Danian's heart trembled, "That iron box hid itself so tightly that only he, his parents and mother knew. Other than these three people, Zhang Dayu would naturally not tell anyone else about it, and my mother was also a tight-lipped person. I have always felt extremely awkward about being born into the iron box, so I have never told anyone else about it, yet Wu Soong was able to tell about this iron box so how did he know?"
Zhang Danian looked at Wu Soong, and at the moment, Wu Soong's eyes were also shining at Zhang Danian, Wu Soong's eyes seemed to have an ability to see through Zhang Danian's thoughts, and when they looked at each other, Zhang Danian was actually a little flustered.
Wu Soong, who was wearing the gold-threaded quail dress, became even more mysterious in Zhang Danian's eyes — —
