Chapter 160: Naive Li Tieniu, Crazy Black Whirlwind

Xunyang River and Pipa Pavilion.

Poems as proof:

Bai Fu's noble character is unmatched in the world. He listens to the pipa on a painted boat on the autumn water.

I want to relax my old eyes and look for traces of the past, and the lone wild geese fly together with the setting sun.

As one of the landmark buildings in Jiangzhou, Pipa Pavilion is also a lively place.

A group of about ten people arrived at the Pipa Pavilion.

One side of the pavilion is close to the Xunyang River, and the other side is the inn owner's wine house.

There are more than a dozen wine tables on the Pipa Pavilion.

Dai Zong picked up two clean seats, put them together, and let Cao Jie sit at the head seat.

The remaining ones, Gongsun Sheng, Chao Gai, Ruan Xiaoqi, Liu Tang, Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, Li Jun, Zhang Shun and Xue Yong, sat down in that order.

Dai Zong was sitting at the opposite table, with Li Kui sitting under his shoulder.

After everyone sat down, they asked the bartender to serve vegetables, fruits, river seafood, fine wine and the like.

The bartender brought over a dozen bottles of Yuhuchun wine, a famous fine wine from Jiangzhou, which had been brewed.

Cao Jie took a long look at the scenery on the river and found it to be truly extraordinary.

This was exactly the place where Sima of Jiangzhou had his shirt wet with tears.

As Li Kui called out, "Bring the big bowl of wine, I am impatient to drink from the small cup," everyone became lively.

In such public places, people naturally just drink, play drinking games and chat, and do not discuss private matters.

When you come to the land of fish and rice, fish is a must for every meal.

Li Kui didn't use chopsticks, but scooped up the fish from his bowl with his hands and ate it with the bones.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this. Some of them took two more sips of the soup and then put down their chopsticks and stopped eating.

Dai Zong sighed slightly: "Brother, this fish is pickled, even I don't like to eat it, so let the waiter leave!"

Li Kui chewed the fish in his bowl, and when he heard Dai Zong's words, he said, "Brother Dean doesn't want to eat, I'll eat it for you."

He reached into Dai Zong's bowl and scooped some food from it, eating it bit by bit, spilling the juice all over the table.

"Tie Niu, you have a big belly, you can eat this mutton."

Cao Jie picked up a plate full of mutton and other large pieces of meat placed in front of him and brought it to Li Kui.

Li Kui grinned and started eating everything he was offered.

While eating, he said, "Brother, don't laugh. To be a man in the martial arts world, you must not only be able to fight, chop and attack, but also be able to eat and drink. I can eat and fight, and if you need to chop someone, I'll be the first to go."

"Brother Tieniu, I know you are a real person. We are all brothers. If we are bullied, we will naturally stand together."

"Brother is right. With me, Chao Gai, here, there's no chance for you, Tie Niu, to show off."

"You, Tie Niu, have to rank behind me, Liu Tang."

Li Kui wiped his mouth and said, "That's wrong. I'm charging forward with two axes, but I can't really tell who's who. It would be bad if I hit my brothers. Let me be in the front!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

At this time, Dai Zong called the bartender and asked, "Why is the fish soup pickled? Do you have any good fresh fish? Can you make some spicy soup for us to sober up?"

The bartender smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not hide it from the dean. This fish was caught last night. Today's live fish is still in the boat, waiting for the owner to come. Those fishermen dare not sell it, so there is no good fresh fish."

Zhang Shun slapped his head and said, "This is my fault. Brothers, wait for me. I'll go and tell everyone. We'll have fresh fish soon." "Without brother Zhang Shun, there's no fresh fish in the whole Jiangzhou. Haha!"

Everyone ate a lot of meat and drank a lot of wine last night, and they haven't digested it completely yet, so naturally they can't eat more.

This was a good deal for Li Kui. He didn't use chopsticks. He just picked up the meat with his carrot-like fingers and started eating. In a short while, he had finished three or four plates.

Everyone was amazed and praised him for his good appetite.

Cao Jie wanted to subdue the pure-hearted Tie Niu and the reckless and bloodthirsty Black Whirlwind, so he said, "I think Tie Niu has the demeanor of a great general from ancient times. In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han had a warrior named Fan Kuai who ate a whole pig leg in a short time. I think Tie Niu has the same ability."

Although Li Kui did not read books and could only recognize a few words, he loved listening to storytelling.

Fan Kuai was a fierce general in ancient times. Emperor Gaozu of Han had also heard of him. Hearing Cao Jie praising him like this, he felt extremely happy. He felt that in his entire life, this was the first time he felt so happy.

"Everyone else thinks I'm dirty, but my brother knows me, understands me, and loves me, just like my mother. Alas..."

Thinking of his mother, Li Kui became like a child, his eyes full of tears, and he choked up and said, "I am so unfilial! Today I have good wine to drink and good meat to eat, but my mother is at home, and I don't know how many grains of rice she has to fill her stomach! I am so unfilial!"

"Woo!"

Once the crying started, there was no way to stop it, and then she burst into tears, with her face covered with snot and tears, and her hands were covered with grease, it was almost unbearable to look at.

The other guests in the Pipa Pavilion lost their appetite and started muttering and cursing.

Even the brothers didn't know how to persuade him.

Cao Jie glanced at the people around him and shouted, "Can't you see that my brother misses me? If you dare to say a dirty word again, you will have to pay the price today."

After that, in front of everyone, he walked to Li Kui, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Brother, cry out loud. It's not happy to keep this pain in your heart. Cry it out and it will be better. When we return to Shandong, I will go to your hometown with you and bring your mother to Shandong. You should take care of her day and night and show your filial piety."

Li Kui nodded vigorously, then shook his head vigorously, and wiped all the tears and snot on his face onto Cao Jie.

Cao Jie didn't mind either.

Today I have conquered Li Kui, so what does a little bit of dirt matter?
"Brother, I can't go back! I killed someone in my hometown. If I go back, I'll be sued and it will also implicate my brother. I can't implicate my brother!"

"These are all trivial matters, just wait and fulfill your filial duty!"

"Okay! I, Tieniu, will listen to my brother."

After coaxing Li Kui, they looked around the entire Pipa Pavilion and found that only their two tables were left.

Seeing how ferocious they were, the other guests thought they were just like bandits, so they dared not stay and left in a hurry.

At this time, a pair of street singers walked in from outside. They were a father and daughter.

The father and daughter usually sang in the Pipa Pavilion. Today, when they walked in, they saw a group of fierce men occupying the place.

The girl didn't dare to go forward, but they had no choice. If they didn't have the reward, they wouldn't have enough to eat.

The old man reached out and took his daughter's hand, walked to a corner of the pavilion, set up the pipa and started singing a song.

No one else thought anything of it, but Li Kui felt annoyed when he heard it.

He had thousands of words he wanted to say to his brother, but now that his thoughts were interrupted by a street singer, he was not willing to give up.

He stood up and took two or three steps like a black bear to the Pipa girl.

"Zheng!"

All the pipa strings are broken.

"you……"

Li Kui stretched out his pitch-black finger and tapped lightly. The Pipa girl screamed "Ah", rolled her eyes, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Li Kui retracted his hand, scratched his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Why did she fall down before I even said anything? Her babbling is so annoying..."
