Deng Pao'er didn't know how to respond, seeing a Jianghu person in front of him, Deng Pao'er clasped his fists and saluted him.
Tie Tuzi glared: "You're insulting who?"
Deng Pao'er turned to look at Li Banfeng, not understanding how clasping fists and saluting could be considered an insult.
Li Banfeng said: "This person may have been a mountain bandit. In some places, they have a taboo against clasping fists, as it looks like handcuffs, which is considered inauspicious in their line of work. Such old customs are rare in Puluo State."
Indeed, such customs are not commonly seen anymore. Li Banfeng learned this by reading books at the Ink Shop; the customs at Three-Head Fork are not only different from those in Other Provinces but also quite distinct from other parts of Puluo State.
Tie Tuzi laughed, and said to Li Banfeng, "An insider? Those two middlemen by the roadside, was that your doing?"
Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, it was me. Can we not speak foreign languages?"
