Chapter 4 Sweet Dates
After Du Tian came out of his father's study, he stroked his swollen face, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. recalled my father's last words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Obviously, he didn't understand the meaning of his Lao Tzu's words to let him wait patiently, after all, the coming day is long.
However, our Du Dashao is obviously a realist, and he is still the type who wants to do it when he thinks of it.
After thinking about it, Young Master Du immediately went out, preparing to eat this "sweet date" immediately to comfort his injured little heart.
Out of the gate of Du Mansion, Du Tian came to an independent courtyard, the courtyard is not large, and it is divided into two courtyards by a lobby. The backyard is obviously a place to eat and sleep, and at this moment in the front yard, there are many men lying on or on the small place, and under the two willow trees are some strong men with open chests and exposed breasts, and there are a few sharp-beaked monkey cheeks squatting next to them.
After coming here, Du Tian actually restrained a lot, he heard his father say that the owner of this courtyard is not an ordinary scoundrel, and several people under his hands are all Jianghu men who have seen blood.
"Yo, isn't this the eldest prince Du? What kind of wind blew you here?" a man in the shade of a tree cried.
Du Tian was not annoyed, but instead hugged his fist and saluted the other party, "Lei Lao Wu, I want to see your boss." ”
"The boss is not free these days, tell me something. ”
Du Tian thought about it, anyway, it was just a few orphans, and it was enough to have Lei Lao Wu.
"I want you to tie up someone, and there will be heavy thanks after the deed is done. ”
"Who are you kidnapping? I can't eat too hard ideas," Lei Lao Wu was quite self-aware.
"Don't worry, it's just a few orphans. ”
As he spoke, he introduced the situation of Lu Ying, Lu Hao and others.
"An orphan girl, take it home directly, just press it on the bed, isn't it possible that your Du family's family can't even handle a few little beggars. He laughed as he spoke.
"Recently, my father has been busy with a big event, and after all, he is a named person in the 'Relief Workshop', so it is not good to take him home directly. ”
Lei Lao Wu has also heard the boss say something about Du Rong these days, and knows what kind of luck he seems to have taken and what he is operating. I didn't dig deeper.
"How much?"
"Ten dollars. Du Tian thought of Lu Ying's beautiful little face, and said ruthlessly.
"Yo, okay, Du Da Shao is really in love!" Lei Lao Wuyi thought, anyway, it was just a few orphans, and he didn't have to do it himself when the time came, just send his hands down, and make ten yuan for nothing.
"However, we have to say in advance that it's okay to tie people up, but we don't do anything. Du Tian admonished again.
"What do you think of me Lei Lao Wu, the rules of the rivers and lakes Lao Tzu knows better than you! Besides, even if Lao Tzu has the strength, he will only go to the 'Cuixiang Building' to find a few girls, and the yellow-haired girl in her teens is not uncommon. Lei Lao Wu's eyes were round, and he was a little angry.
"Okay, this is five dollars, and I'll give the rest after it's done. Du Tian smiled wryly and took out the money he was carrying in his arms.
"Okay, will they send it to your house after they are kidnapped, or will they?"
"Don't! don't send me to my house, there is a thatched hut five miles east of the Imperial City Temple, near the East Lake, and there is no one there at night. Du Tian thought for a while and said.
"Good!"
……
In the evening, Xu Chen walked alone in the ancient city of a thousand years ago after eating, although this is not the center of Yuzhang City, but those antique pavilions and pavilions, courtyard archways, or to this otaku in the 21st century brought a lot of freshness, and for a while he sang the sentences in Wang Bo's "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion".
"The layers are towering and green, and the top is heavy in the sky; Heting Zhuzhu, the lingering of the poor island, Guidian Lan Palace, the posture of the mountains. ”
"Huh," an ox cart staggered past Xu Chen, the curtain of the cart opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties let out a cry of surprise. The middle-aged man was dressed in a white shirt with a short three-inch beard on his chin.
The middle-aged man stretched out his head and just wanted to call Xu Chen out, but when he saw Xu Chen seeing something important, he ran forward quickly.
The ox cart slowly moved forward, and when the middle-aged man poked his head out again, there was no trace of Xu Chen, and the middle-aged man had to sit up straight.
"I didn't expect there to be such a handsome boy in the market!"
Just now, the middle-aged man happened to see Xu Chen with his hands on his back, clogs, dressed in a green shirt, looking at the pavilion in the distance, chanting and walking slowly. That look is really a bit of a legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
Of course, the middle-aged man just glanced at it inadvertently, and Wang Bo's poems are really a swan song for the ages, and then there is this deepening desire to find it, and the three-pronged approach has brought a deep shock to the middle-aged man.
So much so that in the next six months, the middle-aged man was like an "infatuated teenager" who tossed and turned, and often recalled this scene in his mind, regretting that he didn't get out of the car to stop the teenager. Until the moment they meet again......
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" asked a middle-aged girl in a bright yellow dress next to him in the carriage.
"The layers are towering and green, and the top is heavy in the sky; Heting Zhuzhu, the lingering of the poor island, Guidian Lan Palace, the posture of the mountains. ”
The middle-aged man kept muttering.
"I don't know if I missed it, but this must be just one of them, there should be others. ”
"Alas...... I really should have gotten out of the car just now to stop a bar," said the middle-aged man with a heavy sigh.
"Uncle, is this poem your new work?"
"No, it was made by a young man who was passing by just now, and I think it's just one of the paragraphs, but it's a pity that it......'s a pity."
As he spoke, he began to sigh again.
The girl knows her uncle's character, especially poetry, and every time she encounters a good poem, she must sing it for several days before she stops, and if she only listens to half of it, it is really a taste of food, and she can't sleep at night.
"But these verses are really good," thought the girl.
"It seems that Uncle is going to lose sleep again these days," he said and covered his mouth and laughed, if this smile was outside, it would definitely make many young men fall for it.
"You, you, made fun of your uncle. ”
……
But he said that Xu Chen was selling poems there, and a person came out of the alley on the right in front of him, and the maroon blood stuck a handful of messy hair tightly to his face, and the cloth shirt on his body had been torn in several places, and there were a few black footprints printed on it.
Xu Chen saw it and immediately ran over, this person he knew, it was actually the "leather monkey" among the few teenagers who came with Lu Hao in the morning.
"Tie Niu, what's wrong with you?"
"Xu... Brother Xu, hurry... Hurry up and save Brother Hao'er. Xu was so anxious that the leather monkey actually pulled the young man he had only met to walk into the alley.
Xu Chen hurriedly picked up Wang Tieniu, who had begun to walk unsteadily, and walked forward in a hurry.
After walking a few steps, he heard the sound of a fight in front of him.
In the depths of the alley, several tall and skinny gangsters were beating around three young people, and the three teenagers were none other than Lu Hao, Shi Lei, and Zhou Kang.
The honest Zhou Kang was already curled up on the ground at this time, and only the taller Shi Lei and Lu Hao were still holding on, but looking at it like this, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
"I'm going to pull them out now, and you stand here, and when I rescue them, you immediately stone them, and after I'm done with them, you take them out of the alley, and there are so many people on the road that they don't dare to come blatantly. ”
Xu Chen stared at Wang Tieniu's eyes and said seriously.
Wang Tieniu nodded confusedly, and Xu Chen grabbed a stone brick in one hand and rushed over alone.
At this time, the battle situation changed again, Shi Lei was young after all, and despite his height and strength, he still fell.
Xu Chen rushed over and kicked the side of the knee of a gangster in front of him, and with a click, the gangster immediately hugged his leg and fell. Immediately afterwards, Xu Chen bent on his waist and cracked the knees of the two gangsters with one hand.
Don't look at Xu Chen used to be an otaku, but when he was a child, he often fought, and when he was in college, he even went to learn joint skills for a few days, knowing that people's joints are actually very fragile.
After lying down a few gangsters, Xu Chen finally rushed to Shi Lei. It's a pity, I don't know if it's because I don't have a long fight, or what, I tripped under my feet, and I just fell on Shi Lei's body. Just wanted to stand up and a few big feet roared, Xu Chen had no choice but to prop up his hands, resist these few blows, and just protect Shi Lei under him.
After a few strokes, Xu Chen immediately straightened up, knelt on the ground, and smashed the stone bricks in his hand into the knees of the gangsters. For a while, almost all of the gangsters were hit because they were too close, and they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, hugging their legs and wailing.
Xu Chen took the opportunity to help Shi Lei and Zhou Kang, and helped Lu Hao out of the battle circle.
Anyone who could still stand up immediately lit up with one foot and limped after him, and after only a few steps he met the rushing stones.
The skin monkey's just right stone blocked the gangsters for another moment, and the distance between him and Xu Chen and the four of them was further widened.
After meeting with the leather monkey, Xu Chen took the stone in his hand and smashed it fiercely behind him.
After smashing for a while, he saw that the leather monkey had already taken them to the alley, and finally smashed two stones back, and Xu Chen also ran towards the alley quickly.
The gangsters chased forward on crutches, and when they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw where there was still Xu Chen and others.
Xu Chen took everyone back to the bamboo garden of the Huangcheng Temple, and Master Huineng didn't ask when he saw it, but just took out the medicine box and began to heal everyone.
Before Master Huineng walked in front of him, Lu Hao had just accumulated some strength and struggled to get up.
Xu Chen hurriedly grabbed him, but Lu Hao shook off Xu Chen's hand heavily, and shouted: "Get out of the way!
It was only at this time that Xu Chen knew that the cause and effect of this qiē was that Lu Ying was missing.
"How can you save people like this!" Xu Chen shouted.
"Don't worry about it, I must go now!"
"Not only can't you save people like you are now, but you will also put yourself on board!" Xu Chen grabbed Lu Hao again.
"Get out of here!" Lu Hao roared.
"Do you want your brothers to go with you to die?" Xu Chen said loudly.
Lu Hao looked back, and the three of them also began to struggle to get up, and it seemed that they wanted to accompany him.
"Sober up! You guys heal here first, I'll go out and investigate first!"
Saying that, Xu Chen ran to the outside of the temple.
During the whole process, the abbot Master Huineng just scrubbed the wounds of the three of them in an orderly manner, as if not a single qiē of the earthly world could touch his Buddha heart.
As the night gets darker, the moon rises higher and higher.
The injuries on the four of them have also been bandaged by Master Huineng, and there are anxious looks on their faces.
After the abbot tied the knot for Lu Hao, Lu Hao thanked him, and he couldn't wait any longer, remembering that his mother told him to take good care of his sister when he was dying, and then thinking that his sister didn't know whether his sister was alive or dead at this time, how could he still be in the mood to wait any longer.
In fact, even he didn't realize that he would choose to believe this Xu Chen, who had only met twice and was even hostile at first.
Xu is Xu Chen's desperate action tonight, and the resolute posture of leaving behind in the end, let him and the other three teenagers choose to believe this person who is still a little stranger.
As soon as Lu Hao was about to go out, he saw Xu Chen walking in with a few firewood knives in his hands.
"If you still have the strength, come with me, let's go and save people. ”
