Chapter 143: The Little Lady Who Dances the Knife
"That little couple is really pitiful, the little man is getting sick and dying. But they still insist on not accepting our relief, and they have to say that they will not eat us in vain. ”
"We help one or two thousand people here every day, although they are not from our county, but there are many people who come from other places every day, and it is nothing to help the two of them."
"That is, the little lady didn't say that she could play a knife trick on us, and if she played a wonderful trick and everyone applauded, then it would be regarded as she gave the porridge money. If everyone thinks it's bad, then she will help with the day's work, and she will do all the heavy work alone. ”
"Her dancing knife is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful knife, and I never thought that the knife could dance so beautifully."
"Hmph, what's the use of looking good? A girl's family, showing her face. Now it's good that it has attracted the lord of our county, and he has taken a fancy to that little lady. ”
"Well, how is this good? In Yang's County, no one dares to offend the group of people who ordered them to be in the county now. ”
……
When Liu Xian arrived, he heard some people talking about it.
The general situation, Liu Xian basically knew through the discussions of these people.
This should be a young couple from a foreign country, and the little husband is sick, and the little lady can dance with a knife. They may be in trouble, but they don't want to eat the relief porridge in vain. Or maybe they're desperate and have to do something in return. In their way, they exchanged it for porridge to prove that they were not ordinary refugees and did not eat what they had here for nothing.
Then there was the little lady dancing with a knife, dancing so beautifully, it caused the people here to watch, and the movement here just happened to be seen by Bo Li Mao, the county lord of the Yang family. I immediately fell in love with that little lady, and now, when I was negotiating. Listening to what the people said, Li Mao's coercion and temptation were all used, and he planned to rob it.
Now the people basically know Liu Xian.
When they saw Liu Xian, they hurriedly came forward to salute them, and then told them what was going on.
"Young Master Liu Xian, it's great that you're here. We think that the little couple is very good, could it be that the rich man Li Mao dog snatched the little lady like this? Liu Xiangongzi, you must have a way to stop them, don't you? ”
A peasant woman said to Liu Xian expectantly.
"Don't, Liu Xiangongzi, you may not be able to control this matter. Then Li Mao is now a county official. We people don't fight with officials, but don't get involved. Now we are all counting on Liu Xian's soup porridge to live, we really dare to be angry and dare not say anything about this. Another common man hurriedly dissuaded Liu Xian and asked Liu Xian to ignore the matter of the county official Bo Li Mao.
"What did you say? If you don't care, will you just watch that little lady being snatched away? Liu Xiangongzi, you say, as long as you give an order, we will dare to go up and beat that Li Mao. ”
The people around Liu Xian were gossiping, and many of them were already indignant.
"Hehe, this big brother is right. Naturally, we can't watch that little lady being snatched away for nothing. Because, although today it is said that it is a foreign woman who is robbed, it is possible to rob your wife and daughter tomorrow. What's more, to be honest, the wives and daughters of the people of our Yang County should have been taken away a lot by them, right? Well, it's not okay to just beat him, if I let you go up and slaughter that Li Mao. Do you dare? Liu Xian smiled, as if joking.
"Huh? Slaughtered him? Liu Xiangongzi, are you kidding? Li Mao is an official? Killing an official now is tantamount to rebellion......"
"Shh......h You don't want to die? So what is the rebellion of what to say loudly? ”
"But...... Then Li Mao, they really deserve to die! ”
The people were a little stunned and had mixed reactions.
"Are you kidding?" Liu Xian just tested the reactions of these random ordinary people, and the result made Liu Xian satisfied, and he believed that it would not be difficult to kill these county officials.
Liu Xian waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”
The people automatically moved out of the way and let Liu Xian walk into the center of the riot that surrounded him.
In the midst of the mixed reactions, but most of them were a little sympathetic and a little indignant.
Li Mao brought a dozen or so entourages, and at this time he was surrounding a young couple in the middle.
That little couple, really small.
It was so small that Liu Xian was a little surprised.
Because depending on their age, they are about the same as themselves, and they may even be a year or two younger.
However, there are many young boys and girls in this era who get married at the age of fourteen, and Liu Xian's impression is that there are many such examples in Liulin Village.
Like Liu Xian himself, if he hadn't been engaged to Zhang Ning, or if there was no Yellow Turban Riot this year, it would have seriously affected the normal life of Liulin Village. Otherwise, Liu Xian is estimated to have his own little lady, even if he doesn't marry Zhang Ning, he will marry someone else's woman.
The rich sons of large families will basically get married when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if you don't marry the main family, you will take a concubine first.
This is an era when there are three unfilial pieties and no queen is great.
Families who have no money hope that their children will start a family and live independently as soon as possible to reduce the burden of the big family. And the big families simply want their children to spread out more, whether it is reasonable or not, hug their grandchildren first.
What Liu Xian noticed first was that the sick boy was really one year younger than himself, probably about fifteen years old. In him, Liu Xian seemed to see the shadow of himself not long ago.
He is also skinny and skinny, and he seems to be a little unsteady when he stands, especially when he always coughs and coughs, as if he is about to die at any time. Not to mention him, even others look at him and feel hard about his condition.
But the difference is that he is so sick and emaciated, but he doesn't feel weak.
Especially when Liu Xian saw his shining eyes, the eyes that were revealed, seemed to have a little anger, but more disdain. Even if he and the little lady are now surrounded by more than a dozen strong men from Li Mao's retinue, neither he nor the little lady have any worries as the people are worried about, let alone panic.
The little lady, at this time, didn't even look at Li Mao and the others, she just held the little man with one hand and patted him on the back of the shoulder with the other, as if she was soothing him, making the little man cough a little smoother.
On her side, she was still whispering something to the little man.
"Little lady, how are you thinking about it? You tuberculosis ghost can't be cured, you might as well follow Uncle Ben. In this case, Uncle Ben can give him a sum of money to buy some delicious food and drink, and even prepare a good coffin for himself. In this way, even if you die, you don't need to be in the wilderness. ”
At this time, Li Mao stood in front of the young couple, staring at the little wife of the family with squinting eyes.
