Chapter 31: Confiding Under the Moon

Looking at the cottage in front of them, several people found that it was really different from the bandit den they imagined, this was simply a village, where were there any fierce and vicious bandits, they were all ordinary people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Lei Daren and his party coming back, a six- or seven-year-old girl ran at the door of the village, shouting as she ran: "Daddy!"

Lei Daren picked up the girl: "Hey, my good daughter!" and then kissed a big mouthful: "This is my daughter Lei Fang, beautiful, military advisor, you take them to Grandma Zhong to get kimchi, brother, let's have a drink in the evening, let's go." Saying that, he put his daughter around his neck, and the funny girl was straight and happy, and Xiao Qilin also took a strong man back.

Wu Yan said: "Let's go, let's go find Zhong Po." ”

Looking all the way, the Black Tiger Village is well organized, the fishermen and the farmers and hunters perform their duties, and everyone has a smile on their faces, which is really a thriving and good village.

Wu Yan said: "How is it good." ”

Lin Yue nodded: "It's different from the imaginary cottage." ”

Wu Yan said: "Indeed, they are just poor people, harsh and fierce than tigers, coupled with the exploitation of the noble gentry, they really can't survive under the mountain before they will follow the owner of the village to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, in fact, it should be said that they are going up the mountain to open up the wasteland, and everyone has almost forgotten that they are thieves in the past few years." ”

Bai Li was curious: "Why does Anling County connive at such a big bandit village under its rule?"

Wu Yan said with a smile: "Yes, in the first two years on the mountain, we were also afraid, and we also fought with the officers and soldiers, but there was no follow-up, no wonder, we are self-sufficient in the mountains, except for the notorious landlords like Bai Papi, we have not robbed anyone, the officials wish there was such a cottage as us, where there is no bandit trouble in these years, and I don't believe it if I say that there is no superior, let alone a reward, it is better to say that there is, every year I want a special fund to suppress bandits, and it is okay to apportionment some more among the gentry." ”

"Cut~" Bai Li despises these officials, and she is not as cute as these bandits.

Wu Yan said again: "Over the years, the king's tomb has been repaired and a large number of people have been recruited, and the life of the people has been even more difficult. ”

Lin Yue asked, "I heard that there are tens of millions of slaves in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is not enough to build an imperial tomb?"

Wu Yan sneered: "Slaves? The people who work on the construction site are all people's husbands, and the slaves are all in the land of Xungui's family. ”

"The slave is doing the peasant's work, and the peasant is doing the slave's work?"

"That's what's going on. ”

"Why?" Although Bai Li has some experience in the rivers and lakes, she still doesn't know much about this kind of thing.

Bai Ke explained for Wu Yan instead: " Sister, it's really easy to understand, slaves are not free to dispose of and buy at will, but civilians can't, so the court recruits people to work, and sells a large number of slaves to the big nobles in exchange for gold, silver, grain, and straw, it doesn't matter how many civilians die on the construction site, because their lives are their own, and the nobles also like to use slaves to farm, and the commoners are tenant farmers in addition to paying rent and paying taxes, and the rest belongs to themselves, but slaves farm land except for stuttering, ten percent of them are landlords, so civilians have more freedom than slaves, and they live less than slaves. ”

Bai Li secretly sighed: "What kind of world." ”

A few people came to a wooden house, an old woman came out of the house, she is Lei Daren's mouth of Zhong Po, Wu Yan told the matter, Zhong Po took a few people to the back of the house, here neatly stacked a few large jars, Bai Li sister and brother will be suspicious to taste Zhong Po's pickled cucumber, did not expect not only the taste and Han's kimchi, but also more mellow.

Baiko asked, "Why is that?"

Zhong Po smiled: "Then I taught the skills of the Han family's boy." ”

"Ah???h

It turned out that Uncle Han was a neighbor of Zhong Po's family, and he learned the craft of pickling kimchi with Zhong Po since he was a child, don't look at Han's kimchi is famous in Yuanzhou, in fact, it is just a change on the basis of Zhong Po's kimchi, as for whether this change is good or bad, it depends on personal taste.

But anyway, put the two jars of kimchi and deliver them as promised, which is always a good thing for the Wanda Dart Bureau, and it has been a long time since it has been a long time, and it is estimated that it is not too early to arrive in Anling County, in case the city gate is closed, you have to spend the night outside.

Wu Yan proposed to keep the four of them in the cottage for the night, and after several measurements, Bai Ke decided to stay, he was willing to trust these 'bandits', and Bai Li could only agree, although the vigilance of the Black Tiger Village was still not small, but it also lifted the state of all grass and trees.

At dinner, there were a few people to be invited to the village, Bai Ke and Lin Yue and Mo whispered, while Bai Li was uncomfortable and went to rest first, in fact, in order to prevent changes, so he ate his own dry food in the room.

Bai Li nibbled on dry food, while thinking about Bai Ke's angry appearance today, he always blamed him for not being angry, but today he was able to make such a strong decision in front of him, although this is what he has always wanted, but he always feels that something seems to be missing in his heart.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Mo whispered in with some wine and food: "It's not good to only eat dry food, I've tasted it, so it's no problem." ”

Bai Li smiled and gestured, "Thank you." ”

People were still drinking in the cottage hall, Lin Yue was full and looked at it, Bai Ke and Senior Sister were gone, and he also retreated.

The cottage at night blows a cool breeze, and the grass and woods are dotted with fluorescent insects, which is rare and quiet.

Not far away, Bai Ke was sitting at a stone table, he took a pot of wine, but he didn't see him drinking, Lin Yue stepped forward and greeted: "Brother Bai came out so soon, are you full?"

Seeing that it was Lin Yue, Bai Ke smiled: "I don't eat much, and I don't have much appetite today." ”

"Ah, why is that?

"That's not the problem, huh...... Today I murdered my sister, and this is the first time I've done this to her. ”

Lin Yue said: "But what you said makes sense, otherwise you won't be able to solve the problem if you keep fighting." ”

"No, I'm not mad at this, I'm just ...... I'm just because of the damn sign of Wanda Dart. ”

"So, you don't like your dart game?"

Bai Ke chuckled: "Don't like it? That's too polite to say, I hate it, every time I see that signboard, I want to smash him to pieces." ”

"So brutal?"

Bai Ke said to himself: "I was born to be the young master of the dart game, but I don't like it at all, my father and many uncles and uncles are busy with it, because I have only a handful of time to get together with my parents, and even the reunion festival They are also out of the body, because several of its uncles lost their lives, and finally my father and mother are gone, Wanda's signboard is like a curse for me, and now this curse is entangled in my sister, a girl who should be happy." My sister has always been by my side, although sometimes she is very strict with me, but she is the most important person to me, she took on the burden of the dart game, she wants to hand over a strong Wanda dart game to me, but I don't want to do this, I want to tell her more than once, your brother is Hongchen Yisheng, your brother writes a book at home and makes much more money than your dart for a year, it doesn't matter what the dart game is, you can find a good man you like him, he also likes you to marry, I can buy you a set of dowry that makes this Wu Jiezhen envious。 ”

The more Bai Ke spoke, the more excited he became, and Lin Yue listened quietly.

Bai Ke calmed down and said: "But today I am angry, I know that no martial arts master will fight with people because of kimchi, my sister is still for this signboard, it ruined my family, and now I want to destroy my sister, do you say I can't escape this fate?"

Lin Yue said: "Brother Bai, I know your thoughts, if you are alone, it naturally doesn't matter, but what you are carrying is not the signboard of the dart game, your burden is your sister's expectations, isn't it?"

Bai Ke said: "Yes, yes, you are right, everyone around me thinks that I am not angry, many people persuade me to work hard, I don't care about these, but whenever I see my sister running hard to support the dart game, I think I should do what she expects, even if I am unhappy, even if I hate it, at least I can see my sister's smile, hit a wall everywhere outside, and come back to face a brother who is not angry, she is really hard, but I ...... I can't do it. ”

Lin Yue said: "If you can't do it, you won't do it, just like you write a book, you have to write your own book, you are not the follow-up of your parents, nor the prelude of your children, let alone your sister's biography, you don't have to force yourself for anyone." I think Sister Parklane wants you to live a better life than if you take over the dart game. ”

Lin Yue will say this, Bai Ke is a little surprised, everyone around him thinks that he should inherit the dart game, grandpa is the head of the dart, father is the head of the dart, and he should also be the head of the dart, and then smoothly pass it on to his son, the world is like this, the family is passed on from generation to generation, this is the common idea of this society, Lin Yue is still the first person to say this, Bai Ke, who has been oscillating between his sister's expectations and his own wishes, seems to have found the answer.

Lin Yue said again: "For my sister's love, I am the same as you, but my own path is always my own." ”

Bai Ke smiled: "Is it Miss Mo?"

Lin Yue nodded: "My senior sister, it's too unlovely compared to your sister......" He and Bai Ke told the bits and pieces of the past, and suddenly Lin Yue realized that in his heart, the weight of the senior sister was much greater than he imagined.

Three or four feet away from the two of them, Bai Li and Mo whispered and looked at the two people chatting from behind, there are few shelters here, and the two of them are very high, plus Bai Ke and Lin Yue's voices just now are very loud, and the two daughters also heard it clearly.

There was no change on the face of the silent whisper, and Bai Li was also silent, it was the first time she heard Bai Ke say what was in her heart, she had never asked, and she hadn't even thought about what Bai Ke was thinking, she was a little relieved, because her brother was not an unmotivated gentleman, she was a little dim, what she was sticking to turned out to be just a burden on her brother, and Bai Ke was different, she really liked this dart game, this dart game was everything to her, and Bai Ke was different, she would not hate because of loss, but cherished it more, because no matter good or bad, it is the most precious memory of the family。

The next day, the group said goodbye to the Black Tiger Village and walked towards Anling County, no one said anything on the way, Bai Li exhaled and said, "Bai Ke, if you don't want to take over the dart game, forget it." Bai Ke was stunned when he heard this.

Bai Li said: "After this dart, let's end the business of the dart game." ”

This~ This happiness came too suddenly, and Bai Ke couldn't accept it: "Sister, what did you just say......"

Bai Li raised her head and said in a brisk tone: "Ha, I said that after this trip, the business of the dart board will be over." No matter how hard I try, I can only escort the kimchi dart game, I don't want to do it for a long time, this time it's a bad handover, and we'll go out of business. ”

Although she said it easily, a pearl of crystal flickered in the corner of her eye, and Bai Li quickly wiped it with her sleeve, and then changed her words: "By the way, my dear brother......"

Bai Ke suddenly had an ominous premonition: "What...... What's wrong?"

"It's very profitable to write a book, then ......" said and pounced on Baike.

"Don't, don't be like this, sister~"

"Come on, I haven't seen or touched ...... on you."

Mo whispered and Lin Yue turned their heads, indicating that they didn't see anything and didn't know anything.

Bai Li held a dozen silver bills: "I'll see, it's really a lot...... "One hundred, more than fifty, this kid has five thousand taels of silver with him, and he is still worried about a few or a dozen dollars, thinking that he has been busy in the past few years, and he doesn't know how much he has earned in private, Bai Li is angry and randomly draws out two: "This time there are two laborers, although there is no danger in this trip, but the future is unknown, fortunately the two righteous walks, please accept these." ”

Wow~ two hundred taels, Lin Yue hurriedly said: "This, don't ......" He immediately stopped, because Mo Whispered had already put the silver money into his arms.

Hey, senior sister, can't you be polite~ It's too direct!

Bai Li and Mo whispered while talking and laughing as they walked forward, and Bai Ke followed: "Sister is laughing very happily." ”

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Lin Yue asked, "You, are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine. ”

"That money ......"

"I'm a writer with a net profit of forty percent, a mere five thousand taels of Sister Bo smiled, it's worth it~" Generally speaking, if the book is published, the library accounts for the majority, if the author is not famous, he has to post the money upside down, and the net profit accounts for forty percent, that is, the book is cut off, and the library and the author are divided into four or six accounts, which is not low, not to mention that Hongchen smiled at the books all over the Great Zhou Dynasty, although one only sells thirty or forty texts, each book has to print hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies, and Bai Ke often writes a series of stories "Exotic Peak" series of eight books, "Jade Screen" has not yet finished the seventh book, plus the collector's edition, single book, etc., Baike is worth no less than 200,000 or 300,000 taels.

Lin Yue stretched out a hand, and Bai Ke asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yue said: "Local tyrant, let's be friends." ”

“......”
