Chapter 41 After Zhongliang
"Brother Hong, I didn't realize that you can set bones! Hehe." Xiao Peng greeted the villagers to sit back at the table, and then returned to his seat, looking at Hong Xi with great interest.

Officer Hong Xi admired Xiao Peng's character, and he was no longer so indifferent to Xiao Peng, and finally had some expression on his face, "I learned a little bit before."

Xiao Peng nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. After all, there are a lot of people here, and Hong Xi's identity is not visible. Guy, should it be said that he is the grand master of Hongmen?At a young age, he showed a calmness that was different from ordinary people, sitting there without talking or making trouble, just quietly listening to the conversations of adults, and learning from them useful things for himself.

At this time, the other villagers were chatting excitedly about what happened just now, but after what happened just now, they somewhat restrained themselves, and they lowered their voices instead of letting go of their laughter.

Soon, the shopkeeper brought Xiaoer to serve the food. Seeing that there was only a broken table on the second floor, his face burst into a smile, and when facing Xiao Peng, he showed that he could almost I'm so intoxicated with you, I wish I could recognize you as my own father's smile.

The meal was a feast for the guests and the host, and the villagers bid farewell to Xiao Peng after eating and drinking. Zhang Tiezhu and the two asked the villagers and family members to bring a letter, and then followed Xiao Peng back to the yard.

The old broker had already delivered the bedding and utensils needed in the yard, but seeing that Xiao Peng was not at home, he waited in the front yard.He gave the old broker a sum of money and asked him to invite a tailor to come home tomorrow to tailor clothes for several people, and then sent him away.

At present, five people, one big, one small, five people do it themselves, tidy up the room a little, and spread bedding.There are six wing rooms in total, Zhang Tiezhu and Zhang Zhongqiang share one, Hong Xiguan and his son occupy one, Xiao Peng himself occupies one, and there are two empty rooms, so Xiao Peng uses one of them as his study.

As soon as they were busy with work, the sky darkened before they knew it. Zhang Tiezhu and Zhang Zhongqiang originally went to the city to go to the market today.

Xiao Peng took a jug of wine and sat down at the stone table in the yard, and poured himself a drink.Secretly thinking about how to go in the future, martial arts must not be let go. Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. I still have four years. I hope that these four years can improve my strength. Go one step further!

After Xiao Peng sat for a while, Hong Xiguan also came out. Seeing this, Xiao Peng went back to the hall and took another jug ​​of wine and a cup and put it in front of Hong Xiguan.

"Wending fell asleep?" Xiao Peng asked casually while pouring wine for Hong Xiguan.

Hong Xiguan nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and then said: "Go to bed, thank you for your concern."

Hearing Hong Xiguan's words, Xiao Peng shook his head and said displeasedly: "Brother Hong, can you not be so polite? Although you are helping me with things, the relationship between us is just an employment relationship, not a master and servant. The world is equal, since you don't refuse me to call you Brother Hong, then don't call me a son or a son, call me Dapeng! People who know me well call me that."

Hong Xiguan's eyes flashed. He was originally a proud person in his bones. If he was not forced by life, he would never have come out to work for others. Xiao Peng didn't have the slightest pomp and airs of a rich man, so he was very suitable for him. He said kindly: "Okay, I'll ask you to call you Brother Dapeng."

Only then did Xiao Peng smile, "That's right! In the vast sea of ​​people, we can meet, live under the same roof, and eat the same pot of food together in the future, that is fate. Come, Brother Hong, for this Fate, let's have a toast." After speaking, he raised his glass, touched officer Hong Xi, and then drank it down.

Hong Xiguan drank the glass of wine and sighed, "Speaking of which, I haven't drunk wine for many years, and I almost forgot what wine tastes like."

Xiao Peng smiled slightly and said: "It can be seen that Brother Hong is a person with a story, but everyone has his own past, so I won't ask what Brother Hong did before. But I see Brother Hong's behavior The movements seem to be carrying martial arts, let's learn from each other when we have time?"

Officer Hong Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said: "Since Brother Dapeng sees that I possess martial arts, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"Hahahaha, I, Xiao Peng, have traveled the world for many years. Although I dare not say that I am well-informed and read countless people, I can basically tell whether a person is good or bad." Xiao Peng laughed loudly, and looked Hong Xiguan up and down. He said: "By Brother Hong's attitude, you must not be weak in martial arts. If you were really a bad person, you wouldn't be able to apply for today's job. You can just find a rich family to rob the rich and help the poor, and you won't have to wear good clothes I can't afford it, and Wending will not look malnourished. I can't think of any bad person in this world who can still stick to benevolence and morality in such a desolate situation."

Hong Xiguan laughed himself when he heard the words, and looked at Xiao Peng with a little more intimacy, and felt a sense of confidant in his heart, "You still talk about me, brother Dapeng, you are also a person with a story Is it? You have already traveled around the world at a young age, and you have such a strong martial arts, if you say that you have no background, I am afraid that even Zhang Tiezhu will not believe it."

Official Hong Xi made a rare joke, but Xiao Peng did not agree with the smile. Instead, he frowned, sighed slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if you are strong in martial arts, you still have to live under the rule of the Manchu Tartars." Said He grabbed his braids from the back of his head, and said emotionally: "Brother Hong, do you know? I don't like this braid, not at all. Why? Body and skin, received by parents, dare not hurt, filial piety Shiya, this is the filial piety that my son of the Han family has followed for thousands of years. Why should we have to shave off half of our hair and leave such a pig's tail instead?"

Hong Xiguan was shocked all over, his heart was beating violently, but he said: "Brother Dapeng, you have drunk too much, be careful with your words, be careful that walls have ears."

Xiao Peng smiled wryly, "Brother Hong laughed, but when I think of my ancestors, I feel inexplicably irritable."

Hong Xiguan's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "I don't know who the ancestor of Brother Dapeng is..."

Xiao Peng raised his head slightly, spoke with pride, and said in a low voice: "The ancestor of the family is a soldier under General Yuan Chonghuan, who followed General Yuan to fight against the Tartars in Shanhaiguan and Liaodong. The archer soldier, with his military exploits, was promoted all the way to the top five ranks of thousands of households. Unfortunately, in the end, General Yuan died of injustice. His family ancestors were disheartened and left with a seal. Guan, after the death of my Ming Dynasty, my family ancestor committed suicide in the year when the Qing soldiers invaded the capital."

Combining his little historical knowledge, Xiao Peng compiled such a life experience for himself. It is hard to say that he didn't pay much attention when he was studying, but he got to know Yuan Chonghuan when he was watching the TV series "Jade Blood Sword".This is also to close the relationship with Hong Xiguan, and at the same time lay the groundwork for getting closer to Chen Jinnan in the future.

Sure enough, after listening to Xiao Peng's narration, Hong Xiguan looked at Xiao Peng with a little more approval and kindness in his eyes, "It turns out that Brother Dapeng was actually loyal and respectful, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful. Hong Mou respected his brother."

Xiao Peng and Hong Xiguan had another drink, and after putting down the glasses, the relationship between the two became a bit warmer, and they stopped mentioning those disappointing things immediately, and chatted about martial arts.
