The cool breeze is blowing, winter is approaching, and fallen leaves are flying all over the mountains and fields.

Although Zhoushan Town in the southwest of Panshi Country is located in a remote area and is surrounded by mountains, it is difficult to find wealthy businessmen. However, it is rich in game resources and the people can be self-sufficient.

At this time, there were only a few customers in a tavern three miles away from the mountains. The shopkeeper was sitting at the counter and was drowsy. Suddenly, the waiter rushed out of the door and shouted: "Stop! Stop! The floor has just been wiped. Don't come in again."

La!"

The shopkeeper was slightly annoyed: "This guy is so rude. I open the door to do business. It's rare for customers to come in. How can I chase away customers?" He looked up and screamed in pain. He waved and shouted: "Tell him to get out! Get out."

! Oops, there’s someone eating inside. Don’t let him in.”

The waiter pushed and pushed and blocked a person at the door. The man was about mid-year-old and wore old clothes. Although he was not a beggar, his left hand and right foot were wrapped in thick bandages. There was a strong smell of medicine permeating his body.

It was off-putting. The waiter said: "Cang Laizi, why are you here again?"

Cang Laizi was leaning on a cane in his right hand, shaking a wine gourd on the head of the cane, and said: "I'm here to buy wine. Buy me a pound of apricot flowers."

The waiter waved his hand and said: "No, no, no. Return Xinghua. Can you afford Xinghua?"

Cang Laizi said: "Today I taught arithmetic and earned some money." He leaned against the wall, freed his hands, fumbled in his pocket and found two pieces of broken silver, handed them forward and said, "No."

The waiter rolled his eyes and said: "Do you know how much a pound of apricot blossoms cost? You can't even buy a tael with your little bit of silver. Cang Laizi, don't I know your family background? With your little knowledge

, Rich people won’t hire you. How much can you pay for teaching? You didn’t get it by hunting with that boy from Canghai. Unless our store won’t sell it to you, it’s really a loss-making business. If you really want to buy it, just buy it.

I can give you some wine in exchange."

Cang Laizi shook his head and said, "The wine is too weak to satisfy my craving."

The waiter said: "You don't have much money, but you are still picky. Come on, come on, don't hinder our business."

While they were pushing and pushing, suddenly a beast roared in the sky, a big black shadow fell down, and a gust of wind blew up on the ground. It turned out to be a huge flying beast. The flying beast lay prone on the ground, and three people got off its back, all dressed in blue.

Dress up. Although flying beasts are not rare in the Rock Country, they are difficult to own for ordinary white men with flat heads. What's more, this place is isolated, and the people who usually visit it are familiar neighbors nearby, and there are not many outsiders all year round. The waiter of the tavern knows the distinguished guests as soon as he sees them.

When they arrived, they left Cang Laizi behind and went up to greet the three of them into the store.

The three people ordered the dishes, and the leader, a man named Zhou, asked: "Excuse me, shopkeeper, how far is Zhoushan Town from here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Our store already belongs to Zhoushan. If you want to go to Zhoushan Town Government Office, you can just walk thirty miles straight to the west after taking a rest."

The guest surnamed Zhou nodded and said: "My three brothers came all the way to do some business in Zhoushan Prefecture. They heard that Zhoushan has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but they didn't know the details. I wonder who the heroes are in Zhoushan Prefecture? Can the shopkeeper tell me something?"

The shopkeeper said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. All I know about matters in Zhoushan Mansion is that apart from the government officials, the Luo Hengluo family has the final say. I don't know much about the rest."

Guest surnamed Zhou said: "Well, since we even know about this remote place like yours, it shows that the Luo family is very powerful."

The shopkeeper said: "I don't understand this kind of thing. I just sell my food and wine."

The guest surnamed Zhou said: "Well, thank you." After taking two sips of wine, he turned to look at the door. He saw Cang Laizi leaning his neck and staring at the wine in his glass from a distance, his Adam's apple squirming and he kept swallowing saliva. The guest named Zhou smiled and waved: "Brother, do you like this wine?"

Cang Zizi licked his lips and nodded. The shopkeeper was afraid that the customer would be angry, so he personally grabbed Cang Zizi and pushed him outside. The customer named Zhou said: "Shopkeeper, it's okay. I just heard that my brother wanted to drink this Xinghua Chun. Then give him two jins and the account will be settled on my head."

The shopkeeper said: "This..."

The guest surnamed Zhou said: "Go ahead. Your money will not be lost."

The shopkeeper had no choice but to ask his waiter to fill Cang Laizi's gourd with wine. Cang Laizi thanked him repeatedly. The guest named Zhou said: "We meet by chance, it is fate. I originally wanted to have a few drinks with my brother, but I have something important to do in my lower body, so I I won’t accompany you anymore.”

The Cang lame man bowed with one hand, and if he was rude, he could walk with a crutch. He had crippled hands and feet, half of his torso was wrapped in bandages, and he staggered when he walked. He looked very strange and slovenly, and everyone he met took a detour. Some children even looked at him on the road. Throwing stones and spitting, he had a blank look on his face, as if he was numb to all kinds of humiliation, and only tightly protected the wine gourd. Returning to Hongxia Village at the foot of the mountain, the villagers saw his unkempt appearance, and could only shake their heads and sigh.

His son Canghai had already cooked a meal and was waiting at the door of his home. He saw his father's figure in the distance and shouted, "Dad, where have you been? You can't be found in the village."

Cang Laizi's numb face finally showed a smile, even a little proud, and said: "I earned two kilograms of good wine today."

After entering the house, Cang Hai helped his father sit down. Cang Laizi pulled out the stopper of the gourd, and the aroma of wine filled the air. Cang Hai shouted: "Good wine! This is the aged Xinghua Chun bar from Lao Du Tavern? What did you do? Got it?"

Cang Laizi told the story of meeting the noble man. Cang Hai said: "Is this happening? You should thank him properly next time you meet him. It happens that there are still half of the hares we shot last time, so we are going to make some extra vegetables."

Cang Laizi said: "Exactly. If there is no meat, this wine is a bit cheap. Go and call the mistress over and drink together."

At that moment, Canghai fried rabbit meat and went to the back of the house to call Jisan. The three of them drank to their heart's content. Cang Laizi's original name was Cang Baichong. It is said that when he was young, he went alone into the mountains to hunt and encountered a big beast. After a fierce fight, although He escaped with his life, but half of his body was disabled. As a result, he also lost the ability to work. Thanks to the kindness of his neighbors, who contributed to his food and clothing, he was able to survive until now. Canghai has been sensible since he was a child, and he knew how to do it at the age of six or seven. He went up to the mountains with the villagers to learn hunting. At first he didn't know anything, so he helped the adults carry things and pick up prey. The adults taught him carefully. Now at the age of eighteen, he has become a first-class hunter and can start to take on the responsibility of being the head of the family. Ji San Da Xiao was the best to him and treated him like his own brother. Therefore, if he had any good things, Cang Hai would look for him as soon as possible.

After drinking to his heart's content, Cang Baizhong looked up and looked outside and said, "I saw migratory birds flying south today on the road. I'm afraid the snow will arrive earlier this year than in previous years. I don't have much food stored at home, so I need to make plans early." "

Canghai said: "That's right. In two days, Brother Ji and I will go hunting in the mountains."

Ji San nodded and said, "I've had this plan for a long time. I heard that Wangjiacun next door has organized a hunting team to advance into the mountain. I'm afraid there won't be many prey in the front mountain."

Cang Baizhong said: "We can fight as many as we can. There are many ferocious beasts in the back mountains. You two are weak and it is not advisable to take risks. At worst, save some food this year and you will not starve to death. We can fight again in the spring next year."
