In 576 (the fifth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty), the warrior was born in Xuyong Village, Wenshui (now Nanxu Village, four kilometers north of Wenshui County, Shanxi). Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

His ancestors wore sheep's belly scarves (the traditional headdresses of the peasants in Bingzhou), and only his father Wu Hua was a minor official of the Eastern Capital of the Sui Dynasty - Sesame Official.

Wu Huasheng had four sons, one of whom died young, and the samurai was ranked the last to be ranked.

When the samurai was eight or nine years old, his mother died suddenly; When I was just an adult, my father died again! He left behind three sons: Samurai Ridge, Samurai Yi, and Samurai Shu.

The three little brothers are struggling with each other! As the smallest samurai, it is even more miserable!

However, the samurai has a small ambition to win people, and people are not poor in ambition! "Since childhood, he has been talented and sensitive, and he has few ambitions!" ("Shufu Yuan Turtle" language)

In the society with strict hierarchy of "scholars, farmers, scholars, soldiers, industrialists, and merchants" at that time, he did not live a "high" "peasant" life like his two elder brothers: working at sunrise and resting at sunset, a drop of sweat creeping on the yellow earth!

He gave up the land he had received from his father's estate to his two elder brothers, and he chose the "last stream": to run a "business"!

The samurai opened his own tofu workshop, making tofu all year round, and carrying tofu burdens, coming and going in the wind and rain, walking the streets and alleys to sell.

Due to his diligence and wisdom, after continuous thinking and improvement, the tofu he made is fresh and tender, smooth and delicious, and has become a popular item among people! It's a local brand! In addition, he treats people kindly, pays attention to integrity, and has a wide range of popularity, and his business is also doing well.

At the time when the gate valve system was prevalent, the surname Wu was a small surname, and it belonged to the Hanwei family!

"Dragons with dragons, phoenixes with phoenixes, rats burrow in the ground!" Marriage is very particular!

In addition, his family is in the middle of the road, although the samurai has a good character and a good reputation, but until the time when he should start a family, he has not even married a Han woman who is also from a poor family!

In 597 (the seventeenth year of Emperor Wen of Sui's reign Yang Jian), a twenty-one-year-old warrior decided to go to the state and decided to go to the state without knowing which tendon in his head was on the wrong string (maybe it was the right one).

Bingzhou, which is today's Taiyuan, Shanxi, is the place where the Han Dynasty defended against the Xiongnu and the Sui, Tang, Wuzhou defended against the Turks, and was an important place of great strategic significance; It was also one of the four major towns in the country at that time (Bingzhou, Yangzhou is now Yangzhou, Jiangsu, Yizhou is now Chengdu, Sichuan, Jingzhou, now Jingzhou, Hubei); Because it is an important town, it is naturally a bustling and lively metropolis!

Perhaps the samurai got this hillbilly and wanted to see the metropolis to see the world's scenery; Perhaps the samurai got this ambition (or ambition) to be a small self-employed entrepreneur who wanted to make the business bigger and stronger, and went to the state to explore the way and step on the point. In short, the sky was dark, and he got up before the sun rose, walked out of Xu Yongcun with a load of tofu, and hurried in the direction of Bingzhou!

As for how far away it is, the samurai who have never been to the state have no score at all, and they have only heard the fellows who have been there say: the two ends do not stop, the middle does not breathe, and you can walk back and forth from the fifth watch to the evening dark.

Unlucky people often sigh: "Buying a piece of tofu melts the price of meat!" ”

But the samurai got "selling tofu and turning meat into strength!" But the adventurous spirit of him does not consider it unlucky: worth it!

Although the samurai was born in a humble background, his strength, perseverance, and will were not weak: his feet did not stop! Don't panting! Stubbornly walking towards the state!

The season has entered the early winter, and the early winter in the north has already hit the cold, and the sky is still drifting with sparse snowflakes; But the samurai's inner body is steaming, even ambitious!

It was almost noon, and the samurai's eyes lit up: in the sky, there was the skyline of the city! The samurai couldn't help but cheer in his heart: The state has arrived! So I quickened the pace!

In fact, "look at the mountains and run dead horses!" "He's still a long way from merging with the state!

The samurai, who had quickened his pace with the tofu burden, was in the midst of excitement, when his heart suddenly tightened: "Help!" sounded in his ears. Help"!

This urgent, miserable cry for help is so unsettling in this empty, silent wilderness! Willies!

So much so that the samurai couldn't help but stumble, and a load of tofu fell to the ground and poured out!

But he didn't feel sorry for the tofu, but for the people who shouted "help"!

He picked up his flat shoulder and looked around, but there was no one around; I saw only one hill, and the cries for help seemed to come from there. So, he grabbed his shoulder and ran towards the hill!

In a hollow at the bottom of the hill, a tall and vicious gray wolf was leaping up and pounced on a young man his age, but who fell to the ground!

Although the young man was shouting "help", his body was curled up in horror! Tremble!

"It's over!" This thought first flashed through the samurai's mind! He flew down the hill, and it was too late to get closer, so he instinctively picked up his flat shoulder and threw it at the big bad wolf!

The big bad wolf dodged the flat pole and let out a terrifying howl, turning from attacking the young man to attacking the samurai!

I saw the big bad wolf leap and rush towards the samurai!

The samurai was unable to stop due to the inertia of rushing down the hill, and he headed for the big bad wolf, causing the big bad wolf to pounce on top of his head!

The samurai took advantage of the situation to clench the two claws of the big bad wolf and raised them as high as he could!

And the big bad wolf opened his bloody mouth, barred his teeth and teeth, and tried to get as close as possible to the top of the samurai's head to eat!

"Take a flat pole and beat it! Take a flat pole and beat it! Take a flat pole and beat it! The samurai shouted as he held up the big bad wolf and shouted the young man!

But no matter how the samurai cried out, the young man did not react: for he was so frightened that his face was like ashes! Paralyzed to the ground!

When the big bad wolf saw that he couldn't bite the samurai's head, he bit his hands that were holding its feet!

Without a helper, the samurai had no choice but to carry the big bad wolf high towards the flat pole, and when he got close to the flat pole, he used all his strength to slam the big bad wolf to the ground! Immediately after that, he picked up the flat shoulder and hit the big bad wolf hard!

"It's dead, it's dead." The young man said.

Dead? Fight even if you die! The samurai didn't seem to hear it, and he was still fighting the big bad wolf like crazy! It wasn't until he felt tired that he dropped his shoulder and sat down on the snow tiredly.

Only then did the young man get up, and came over to pick up the flat pole and kill the "tiger": a few times the big bad wolf. Of course, he didn't fight the big bad wolf, but wanted to vent the hatred in his heart that he was facing death just now: "Dead bad wolf!" Look at you still cannibalism, evil has evil retribution! ”

Then the young man walked up to the samurai and said gratefully, "Thank you, Great Benefactor, for saving your life!" ”

"When the road is uneven, everyone will do it. No thanks! The samurai said sincerely, waving his hand.

"Yo!" When the young man saw his waving hand, he was astonished, "Your hands are bleeding!" ”

Only then did the samurai see that his hands were bleeding! The little arm was bitten by the big bad wolf and the flesh was blurred! Then I felt a piercing pain!

The young man hurriedly took off his tunic and brocade robe, tore it into pieces, carefully wiped the blood from the samurai's hand, and carefully bandaged the wound.

As the young man did this, the samurai was asked, "How did you come here?" ”

"Come hunting." The young man gestured to the side.

The warrior followed the direction he was pointing, and then he saw a horse with bows and quivers scattered on the ground.

"I thought there were only rabbits and pheasants on the outskirts of the city, but I ran into this dead big bad wolf!" Young people have palpitations in their hearts.

"You don't know that there may be no wolves on the outskirts of the city in autumn and summer, but there are definitely wolves in winter! Why, because it has nothing to eat near its nest, it jumps to a populated place. ”

"How do I know? Brother, I was originally from Daiko Kyoto, and I only recently came to Namashu. ”

"Brother, eat a trench, grow a wisdom, remember, don't go to the wilderness alone! You are a prince and nobleman (the warrior doesn't know that he is a prince and nobleman in front of him), and in the eyes of the wolf, you are also a commoner, and the evil wolf also treats you as a meal! In the heart of the wolf, everyone is really equal. It's not like grassroots civilians who treat princes and nobles as gods! Be a master! Even if there are too many people, don't come, what is there to hunt? Idle and have nothing to do? You have to take risks! ”

"Thank you, brother, for your kind words! However, I also fear for my brother's safety: why do you go out into the wilderness alone? Is there anyone who hunts with a pole? ”

The samurai was ridiculed: "Brother, I didn't go to the wilderness on purpose, but I went to Bingzhou to pass through the wilderness; It's not about hunting, it's about making a living. ”

The young man thought he was clever and said, "Oh, I see, seeing that your martial arts in fighting wolves just now are amazing, my brother must have gone to Bingzhou to perform on the streets, making guns and dancing sticks and playing with knives to make a living." And what about thy spears and knives? ”

The samurai couldn't laugh or cry: "How can I have martial arts?" Where to go busking? Brother, I don't hide it, and I'm not afraid of embarrassment: I'm going to sell tofu! ”

The young man quipped, "Brother, you're really good at laughing!" Is there anyone who sells tofu with a stick? Can you get money just by shouting? The white wolf with empty gloves, no matter how empty it is, it must have both hands. But you don't even have an empty tofu bucket. At the mention of the "white wolf", the young man was angry, picked up the flat pole and beat the big bad wolf again!

Speaking of the "Tofu Bucket", the samurai was reminded: it was his precious belongings!

"Stop fighting, fight again and bring it alive. Brother, have you ever heard of corpse fraud? The samurai took the stub from the young man, "I need to find the tofu bucket." ”

"What about its corpse? There are brothers in me who are not afraid of anything! The young man followed the samurai.

"You're not afraid, I'm still afraid." The samurai found the tofu bucket and picked it up, arching his hands to the young man, "Brother, there will be a time later." ”

The young man grabbed the shoulder of the samurai with one hand and said sincerely, "How can this be done?" My brother sacrificed himself for my business and didn't succeed, and I was even injured! I don't have a big man, and I can't express my gratitude even if I want to. Go, go to Bingzhou with my brother, heal the wounds first, and then sit at my house. ”

"Nope. It is common for us countrymen to have headaches and brain fever, broken muscles and bones, and broken hands and feet, and Lord Yama does not accept us as rags, so our lives are very cheap! It's hard too! Brother don't mind! I'm leaving. ”

"No! No way! If you say no, you can't! Anyway, brother has to go with me to merge the state! ”

"My hometown in the countryside is miles away from here, and if I go to Merge with my brother, I won't be able to go home today."

"It's better if my brother can't go home," said the young man, "then we can talk to my brother at night." ”

It seems that the young man was really gracious, and the samurai used a white lie: "Brother, I have received your heart." But if I want to spend the night at your house, my wife will say that I will spend the night with my wild wife, and I will kneel on the washboard when I go home, which is still good. As he spoke, he blushed.

"Really?"

"Haven't you seen the scene of the lion roaring in Hedong and the scene of a falling out at home?"

"Yo, it's not good to make your husband and wife fall apart. So be it, I'll send you home, I've got a horse. ”

"No, no, my two feet won't be worse than four feet!"

"Brother is so humorous!" The young man laughed, "You wait here, I'll ride over." ”

The young man who was chasing after him stopped his horse in front of the samurai who was hurrying, leaned over and grabbed the burden, and rested it on the front back of the horse: "Do you want me to be ungrateful?" Grievance point, sit back! ”

The samurai had no choice but to jump on his horse and sit down: "Brother, thank you so much!" ”

"I should be thanked, brother. Oh, that's right, if we are brothers and brothers, then we will marry Jinlan and be friends with each other! Brother, do you think it's good? ”

"Good! Yes! ”

"I was born in the fourth year (575) of Jiande (Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong)."

"I was born in the fifth year of Jiande (576)."

"Yo, I'm sorry, you've made up a coward's brother; If it doesn't work, I can help my little brother in other ways. ”

"No need, I'm young and strong, with feet and hands, so I don't bother my big brother."

"The grass is green and yellow, and people are decaying and thriving; The world is unpredictable, and my little brother has a place to find me, just ask! Now go to your house and see if there's anything you can do to help? ”

Oh no, he's going to his own house! It's not that the samurai is afraid that he will see his own walled home, but that he is afraid that he will help: it is not good to ask others to repay their kindness for such a small matter!

"Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell." The samurai quickly turned over and dismounted, it was still far from home, but he said, "Big brother, please go back, my house is almost there." ”

"As the saying goes, 'The ferry goes to the river and sends the Buddha to the western heavens.'" It's almost there, and it should be sent! ”

"It should be sent!" The samurai thought to himself, isn't this the pot that doesn't open and doesn't mention the pot?

The loyal samurai told a white lie again: "Big brother, you don't know that the younger brother suffers from a serious 'strict wife'!" She forbade me to have sex with either a woman or a man: she said she was afraid that I would not have a good relationship! If she sees me with you······ Alas, who made me afraid of the roar of the lion in Hedong? The samurai's face was hot and dry when he said this.

"This brother and sister are really," said the young man with disgust, "women are not allowed to have sex, and men are not allowed to have sex, and there is still anyone to have sex in the sky?" ”

"Yes, there is one," the samurai laughed, "and the only one: I am only allowed to give her, whatever you want!" ”

The young man laughed and his shoulders trembled: "This brother and sister, it's okay to say that she is a fierce woman, and it is right to say that she is a good wife." In this way, tell me where your fairy town is, I have time to visit as your relative, right? ”

Mention the pot again! The samurai thought for a while and said, "My immortal town is a state. ”

"Didn't you just say that your hometown is in the country?"

The samurai smiled and asked, "Isn't my country under the control of the state?" ”

The young man did not laugh, but said seriously: "It seems that you do not want to speak. In this way, little brother, if you have any difficulties or needs, you must come to me! Big brother, please! Let my heart feel better with my eldest brother! You have something to do with me at the Governor's Office. And the state governor's office, do you know? ”

Of course, the samurai knew about the Prefecture Governor's Office, and the red-headed documents issued to the counties and townships were stamped with the bright red seal of the Prefecture Governor's Office: That was the highest government organ in the Prefecture! Although he hasn't been.

The samurai nodded in surprise.

"When you get to the governor's mansion, you say look for it, find ······" The young man is inconvenient to say his name, "Find someone who has been bitten by a wolf." ”

"Haha!" The samurai laughed, "'Find someone who has been bitten by a wolf', is there such a search for someone?" I can't tell you how hard it is; Just name it, and I'll find your name. ”

"I'll give you all the advice," the young man said, "may I ask my brother's name?" ”

"Well," the samurai thought for a moment, "to have a double name." ”

"What's the double name?"

"The compound surname is 'Shangguan', the double name is 'Buguan', and the name is 'Shangguan Buguan'."

"'Shangguan is not official'?"

"One flat-headed people."

"You have such a good humor, peasant witty humor!"

Saying goodbye, the young man told me a thousand times: "If you have something to do, you must come to me if you have something!" Oh, no, it's okay, and you're welcome if you don't need it! The gates of the Governor's Mansion are always open to you and to my great benefactor! ”
