Chapter 71 It Turns Out I’m Already Famous

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, bad news, I heard that there is another army coming from outside the town."

Just when everyone was praising Nie Cairong, a porter ran into the shop quickly and shouted loudly.

When everyone heard this, their expressions were different. Most of them returned to their seats and ate quietly, while some people hurried back.

The shop owner looked even more worried, and kept whispering something in the ears of several waiters.

Nie Cairong was a little confused. It was said that the arrival of the imperial army would give them more hope to resist the Japanese. Why didn't these people feel happy?

With a casual gesture, Nie Cairong found a waiter to inquire about the situation.

"Sir, are you not from this town?" The waiter looked at Nie Cairong suspiciously at first, and then asked softly.

"Yes, I escaped from Phoenix City." Nie Cairong blinked and replied without changing his expression.

The waiter was relieved, looked around, and whispered: "Sir, you don't know that not long ago, an army went from here to Xiuyan. This army stopped here at that time, which caused chaos in the town. Not only did they not pay for food and drink, but they also raped two girls in the town. Do you think we can be happy that another army is passing by this time?"

The army that passed by last time was Feng Sheng'a's Fengtian Shengzi Lian Army. This army had no combat effectiveness and was famous for its fragility. It was nicknamed "duck egg soldiers" to satirize its "inability to withstand bumps".

What's more hateful is that this army "collapsed when it encountered thieves and looted when it encountered things, without any scruples". On the way to North Korea, "it harassed along the way, making it notorious, and it was especially disturbing in the Korean border."

Now that it has returned to China, it is even more like a dog that can't change its eating habits. Wherever it goes, it destroys.

Nie Cairong raised her eyebrows and immediately said indignantly: "It's really abominable. If they meet me, I will definitely teach them a lesson."

"Sir, don't talk nonsense. People don't fight against officials. Even if you are good at martial arts, you will be skinned alive if you meet the officials who eat people without spitting out bones." The waiter persuaded carefully.

Nie Cairong couldn't think that the court that her grandfather was loyal to had become like this. She couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart. She lowered her head and stopped talking. For a while, she forgot to look for Wei Jichen.

"General Wei, there is an inn in front. Why don't we go there to rest." Wang Huaiqing turned around and said to Wei Jichen who was looking around with a surprised face.

Wei Jichen was followed by five guards. The reason why he was surprised was that he was surprised to see that people around him were avoiding him; second, it was the first time he could see the Qing Dynasty architecture, customs and characters up close, and he was very curious.

Wang Huaiqing is now the captain of Wei Jichen's personal guards. After all, he was Nie Shicheng's personal guard. He is very organized and orderly when doing things.

In addition to Wang Huaiqing, Mengzi is also beside Wei Jichen. He is an outstanding marksman. He is the sniper captain in wartime and Wei Jichen's personal guard in leisure time.

"Oh, what inn?" Wei Jichen asked without raising his head.

"Youjian Inn!" Wang Huaiqing replied with full energy.

"I'm asking the name!" Wei Jichen raised his eyebrows and continued.

"Sir, his name is Youjian Inn." Wang Huaiqing said innocently.

Wei Jichen raised his head and saw the name of the inn. He rolled his eyes.

"Let's go, it's a good time to have a big meal. I've been eating military rations for a long time, and my mouth has been bland for a long time." Wei Jichen flicked his sleeves and walked ahead.

"Guests..., several military officers, please come in." The waiter greeted them with a smile at first, but when he saw that Wei Jichen and others were wearing military uniforms, he couldn't help but speak cautiously.

Wei Jichen and others found a table on the first floor and sat down.

The shop owner winked at the waiter, and the waiter stood aside waiting for them to order.

"Everyone, please eat. Today's bill will be on my head." Wei Jichen was in a rare good mood, so he said generously.

"Since the adults are treating us, we won't be polite." Mengzi showed a happy face and continued, "I heard that the game in the Northeast is good, so let's get a whole pheasant."

"I want wild rabbit meat."

"I want wild boar meat."

Several personal soldiers followed Wei Jichen for quite a while, and they knew that this general soldier Wei was kind, so they were not very polite.

Wei Jichen's appetite was whetted by the talk. He waved his hand and said to the waiter generously: "If you have any game, just send it up. Today we will eat a full game."

The waiter said embarrassedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have already ordered everything you ordered. Now we are out of stock."

"No, what else?" Wei Jichen said a little depressed.

The waiter thought for a while and said: "There are some light dishes such as radish, cabbage, and tofu."

Several people were a little disappointed, especially Wei Jichen, but now he was really a little hungry and didn't want to go to the next store, so he reluctantly said: "Okay, just give us something."

"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment." The waiter quickly retreated.

This time, the efficiency of the inn was quite fast. Wei Jichen and his friends didn't have to wait for a long time. A table of radishes, green vegetables, and tofu were served.

"Come, eat, don't be too restrained." Wei Jichen stretched out his hand and started first.

Wang Huaiqing suddenly stood up, grabbed the waiter next to him, and said angrily, "You son of a bitch, you dare to deceive me? I am tired of living."

The diners on the side were eating with their heads down, no one dared to say anything, and some even walked away secretly for fear of getting into trouble.

The waiter said in a trembling voice: "Gentlemen, if you have something to say, you have something to say."

Wei Jichen didn't understand why and said slightly angrily: "Huaiqing, what are you doing! Let me go quickly."

As soon as Wang Huaiqing let go of his hand, the waiter immediately fell to the ground with a sad face.

"Sir, look, he just said clearly that there is no game anymore, but what is it if it's not meat?" Wang Huaiqing said angrily.

Wei Jichen followed his fingers and saw several plates of freshly fried meat lying around, about to be taken to the second floor.

At this time, the shop owner had already bowed down to apologize.

"Tell me what's going on." Wei Jichen wasn't very angry, but he was a little curious.

"Come on, you military masters, we are a small shop. Considering that it is not easy for us businessmen, we military masters will eat less. If we serve all the game you want, the store will not be able to make back the profit in a month. ." The shopkeeper begged from the side.

Wei Jichen's face became extremely strange, and he asked funnyly: "Do you think we are freeloaders?"

The relationship lasted for a long time, and others were afraid that they would not pay for the meal while waiting for them, so they were served the cheapest meal.

"How can these military lords be freeloaders? They are fighting on the front line. This is just a small shop showing respect to these lords. It's just a small thing, but please don't blame me." The shopkeeper nodded and bowed in response.

"You are so fucking blind that you don't even know who we, Mr. Wei, are. Will you miss out on your little money?" Wang Huaiqing's face turned completely dark and he cursed loudly.

Wei Jichen waved his hand to stop the angry Wang Huaiqing, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, store, we won't eat your meal for nothing, why don't we give you money first."

After saying that, Wei Jichen took it out in his arms, but it was empty. He couldn't take it out with his hand, and he couldn't continue to take it out.

Damn, I really forgot to bring money.

Two drops of sweat broke out from Wei Jichen's forehead.

"Here, Huaiqing, Mengzi, have you brought any money? I'll borrow some first and return it to you when I get back to camp." Under the disdainful gaze of the shopkeeper, Wei Jichen finally withdrew his hand and asked the others in embarrassment. several people.

Several other people just touched it. It was a coincidence that no one really had a wallet.

The store owner is even more contemptuous this time. Why are you pretending? Isn’t it possible that I can’t break through your little tricks?

Not only did the store owner secretly despise Wei Jichen and others, but even the guests who had just been eating in silence glanced here intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Jichen felt uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, but he couldn't just walk away. A penny really stumped a hero.

When Wei Jichen was in a dilemma, a person came down from upstairs.

As soon as the man saw Wei Jichen, he shouted: "Brother Wei, you are here."

After saying that, he walked over with a look of joy on his face.

Yes, that person was Nie Cairong. She was holding a rope in her hand and leading a big man in tattered clothes to follow behind her.

She just heard a noise coming from downstairs, and her chivalrous heart was aroused, so she came down to see what happened, where she thought she would run into Wei Jichen.

"Brother Rongcai, why are you here?" Wei Jichen was very happy at first, and then asked a little curiously.

"Brother, I'm here just to wait for you. Don't you still lack a sentry officer in your camp? Don't think about it, it's me." Nie Cairong walked into Wei Jichen and said with a smile, pulling on his sleeve.

Wei Jichen hugged Nie Cairong into his arms and said with a smile: "Brother, I miss you so much. One day without seeing you is like three autumns apart."

Of course, he didn't forget to add the following sentence, Big brother not only misses you, but also misses your money.

Timely rain, Song Jiang, if you don't come again, there will be no place for my old face to show off.

Wang Huaiqing took a small step forward, and then pressed down again. He had been Nie Shicheng's personal soldier for many years, so of course he knew the details of Nie Cairong.

Seeing Wei Jichen hugging Nie Cairong tightly, he wanted to step forward to say something, but when he saw the look of enjoyment on the face of the eldest daughter Nie Cairong, he did not dare to step forward to be this evil person. Otherwise, if Nie Cairong was taken care of, the end would definitely be very sad.

Nie Cairong pushed Wei Jichen away with a blushing face and said softly: "Brother, what are you arguing about?"

Wei Jichen said with a face full of shame: "Rongcai, my eldest brother forgot to bring money before entering the town today, and now he is like this."

After Nie Cairong heard this, he held his chest and giggled.

"I never thought that the famous God of Death, Wei Jichen, would have a day of freeloading." Nie Cairong laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and he couldn't help but amplify his voice.

Nie Cairong's shout immediately caused a lot of discussion around him.

"What, he is the General Wei who yelled three times to scare off the Japanese generals?"

"No, is General Wei who killed the Japanese general Li Mian Naofumi so young?"

"Yes, I heard that the Japanese officers and soldiers gave General Wei a nickname, called the God of Death."

…

Everyone looked at Wei Jichen with curiosity. Wei Jichen's name was publicized everywhere by Li Hongzhang due to political needs, especially in the Northeast. Most people who cared about the war situation had heard about the victory at Caohekou and the God of Death. name.

Some people even compiled commentaries on Wei Jichen's deeds, including Wei Zijie's method of making it rain and snow, General Wei's three shots to destroy the Japanese, and Wei Jichen's three roars to scare away the enemy.

He only compiled a story that was full of gods and Buddhas, praising Wei Jichen as unparalleled in the world and rare on earth.

In this era when all the people need heroes to turn things around, Wei Jichen's deeds are naturally magnified and deified.

When the Songtian people behind Nie Cairong heard the word "death" and took a closer look at Wei Jichen, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright. They were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, trembling.

The God of Death turned out to be the God of Death. The name of the God of Death was spread by the Japanese. This shows how afraid the Japanese soldiers were of Wei Jichen.

Different from the fear of Nie Caerong, the Songtian people's fear of Wei Jichen was not only fear, but also mixed with awe and submission under fear.

The Japanese have always admired the strong, and Wei Jichen is such a strong man, a strong man who even convinced Naofumi to meet him, and a strong man who even collapsed after seeing the Japanese sniper.

The people in Songtian were so frightened that they did not dare to look at Wei Jichen.

Wei Jichen looked slightly embarrassed when he heard Nie Cairong's words. He tapped his forehead lightly and said, "What a famous god of death. He just did what a soldier should do. Hurry up and get the money to pay the bill. "

Nie Cairong rubbed his smooth forehead and took out the money bag from his arms with a bright smile. For some reason, Nie Cairong felt happy when he thought of Wei Jichen asking for help from her.

"General Wei, it turns out to be General Wei. How can I accept your money if I don't know Mount Tai? If it weren't for you, we might have wandered to an unknown place long ago." Nie Cairong also said Without paying, the shopkeeper next to me shouted first, and his attitude changed 180 degrees.

"General Wei, please wait a moment. The little old man will prepare a table of authentic game right away. Listen, everyone, General Wei Jichen came to the shop today. The shop has nothing to repay, and the food will only be charged half price." The shopkeeper didn't care. Wei Jichen refused, but turned around and shouted loudly to the people around him.

"General Wei, he is really General Wei. It is said that General Wei has three tigers around him, the white-faced tiger Li Yunfei, the black-faced tiger Zhang Meng, and the red-faced tiger Zhao Hu. Look, isn't the bearded and black one the black-faced tiger?" Someone pointed at Mengzi and said with a smile.

Mengzi's surname is Zhang and Huzi's surname is Zhao. They are called red-faced tigers because their faces tend to turn red when angry.

"That is, whoever dares to pretend to be General Wei in this northeastern land will be drowned by everyone with spit." Some people said again.

There were more and more people watching, and Wei Jichen couldn't do it anymore, so he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to all the fellow villagers for looking up to me, Wei. Wei is so loved by all the folks just for doing what he is expected to do. Wei I can only promise my fellow villagers that I will do my best to fight against the Japanese slaves."

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go." Wei Jichen looked at the stunned soldiers, took out a dollar of silver from Nie Cairong's hand, threw it on the table, and then took her little hand and hurriedly walked out.

The people who were watching saw that Wei Jichen was about to leave. They gave up and gathered around one after another. The one who grabbed a piece of clothing said happily: "This is the clothing of General Wei, the god of death. It is kept at home for worship. It must be a ghost." Stay away."

Another person said even more happily: "I have snatched General Wei's underwear. If you wear it, you will definitely have a lot of grandchildren."

"Idiot, you are pulling my underwear." A young man was crying and covering his lower body.

Wei Jichen finally escaped from the hands of the enthusiastic people. Looking around, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. The clothes he just bought were scrapped like this.

Nie Cairong held Wei Jichen's big hand tightly, his face flushed. In the chaos just now, he didn't know whether it was Wei Jichen's intention, or whether he kept touching his body to protect himself, and even his hand touched his chest several times.

The Songtian man behind him was also flushed, because he was about to expire. Nie Cairong pulled the rope tightly and tightened the noose around his neck so tightly that he was almost suffocated to death.
