XIII. Eavesdropping

It was a kitchenette, in the only small building of the inn.

Zhu Wu hadn't been here, but he heard that this was a place for the shopkeeper to cook. On weekdays, the average guy can't get up.

Compared with the oil-stained twist and the black inn stove, this small kitchen is much cleaner, and the utensils used are also quite particular.

The eldest lady does not have the temper of the "eldest lady", she is a good person, rolls up her sleeves, chops the stuffing with live noodles, and Zhu Wu pulls the bellows on the side to light the fire. From time to time, I secretly admire the graceful waist of the eldest lady.

"Miss, why haven't I seen you before?" Zhu Wu had nothing to say.

"I usually stay in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and today my father has his fiftieth birthday, so I'll make a dumpling and cook a bowl of longevity noodles!"

"No wonder he slaughtered pigs and sheep! It turned out to be a happy event! Zhu Wu smiled, "I have to kowtow to the shopkeeper in a while, if it weren't for him, I would still be asking for food!" ”

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Just have this heart, my father invited a friend to eat and drink today, and I don't have time to see you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of green vegetables from a box, "Zhu Wu, help me pick the leeks!" ”

In the cold winter, a handful of leeks is a rarity. Emerald verdant, very pleasing to the eye.

"Stuffed with pork and leeks?" Zhu Wu took the leeks and said with a smile, "If you put a handful of dried sea rice, the taste will be fresher!" ”

"You used to be a beggar?" The eldest lady looked at Zhu Wu and said with a smile, "In the world, how can there be a beggar who is so good at eating!" ”

This eldest lady is really careful, and Zhu Wu's unintentional words can be said in an instant, and something is wrong.

Zhu Wu smiled, "I also heard what people said." ”

The eldest lady was busy with her hands, and asked while making dumplings, "Seeing that you are a decent person, why did you end up in the field where you want to eat?" ”

So, Zhu Wu told the story of asking for food again with oil and vinegar.

"Hey, Xiu'er's girl is really miserable, she has no father and mother at a young age!" The eldest lady sighed, "Fortunately, she has you by her side, if you don't have an adult watching, nothing will happen!" Although you are a bit oily, you are also a kind and righteous person! ”

"Miss......"

As soon as Zhu Wu spoke, he was interrupted by the eldest lady, "Don't talk about the eldest lady, speaking of which, I and Na Xiu'er are the same fate, and we are also children without parents." ”

"Then the shopkeeper Guo ......," Zhu Wu asked.

"It's my father-in-law!" The eldest lady put dumplings in the pot and said with a smile, "I don't have the surname Guo, my surname is Ma!" ”

………

In one of the rooms in this small building, a sumptuous banquet was set up.

The shopkeeper Guo sat on the main seat, and there were seven or eight men sitting at the bottom.

If there were people from the city scene, they would definitely be surprised. These men can also be regarded as the leading figures in Haozhou City.

The shopkeeper of the largest grain store, the owner of the blacksmith shop, and the head of the defenders of the city gates. These people and the shopkeeper Guo pushed the cup and changed the lamp, as if they had been friends for many years.

But the meaning revealed between the words makes people tremble, and the two tremble.

"Guo Ye, when will we do it, our brothers can't wait!" A black-faced strong man, sitting at the bottom of Guo's shopkeeper, if Zhu Wu was here, he would probably be able to recognize him, he is the commander of the city gate army who is on duty in Xicheng every day, Zhang Laohei.

Shopkeeper Guo said with a smile, "What's the hurry, you have to be ready to be foolproof." If you start an incident in a hurry, you can only harm the lives of your brothers in vain. ”

"But Guo Ye, Liu Futong raised troops in Yingzhou, Xu Shouhui and Monk Peng raised righteousness in Jiangxi, and Sesame Li and Zhao Jun captured Xuzhou, if we are ...... here"

The one who spoke was the owner of the largest grain store in Haozhou City, who looked like a scholar. It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper Guo.

I heard the shopkeeper Guo sneer, "Hmph! Except for Liu Futong, they are all a group of rabble. After only a few days of eating, Xu Shouhui's poor cuo is actually the emperor, and Sesame Li and Zhao Junyong are just a bunch of mud legs! ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of his wine glass and continued, "We have already received the news, the imperial court is preparing to prepare an army to clean up Sesame Li and Zhao Junyong. At that time, the Mongolian cavalry in our Haozhou city will also be transferred. ”

Zhang Laohei's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "When the air defense of Haozhou City is empty, we should cooperate with the outside world, and great things can be done!" ”

"Meng Yuan's tyranny, the heavens are angry and the people are resentful. First there was a flood and no harvest, and then there was a plague and corpses were everywhere. The shopkeeper Guo said hatefully, "The dead have a full road, and the living and ghosts." The common people are starving to death in pieces, and the dog's government has to levy grain and taxes, and the court of this dog day doesn't treat us as people, so we have to turn against the damn. There is no way in the sky, and we will fight a sky. A dignified man, robbing Huanggang, and every day is a mother. ”

This is to rebel! It's the Red Turban Army!

The crowd inside was full of excitement. Zhu Wu, who was eavesdropping outside, was terrified.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop, and the swill bucket was full in the kitchen. He came out to pour swill, but as soon as he went up the stairs, he heard these men shouting Liu Futong, Monk Peng!

These two he had heard of were characters in Heaven and Dragon Slayer. I was curious, so I tiptoed over, saw that there was no one around, and quietly eavesdropped.

The more I listened, the more frightened I became, and now I was sure that these people were going to rebel. Although he didn't know history, he learned it when he was in school, and the Red Turban Army peasants revolted in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, and the world was in chaos. His heavy starling joined the rebel army and eventually sat in the world.

It's just that I don't know which way the heavy starling participated, and he will talk about Liu Futong and Sesame Li. In the end, which way did you participate in the heavy eight, so you can hug your thighs!

While pondering, a big hand suddenly clamped the back of his neck, and he suddenly stiffened and felt painful. The body's instinctive reaction is to lower his head and kick the crotch of the person.

Hey!

There was a surprise behind him, and he had to let go of Zhu Wu's neck, grabbed his belt, and lifted him up directly.

"Kuroko!"

Zhu Wu saw clearly that the person who came was the black iron tower that followed behind the shopkeeper Guo every day.

"You kid is looking for death!"

Heizi sneered, and was about to fall to the ground with Zhu Wu in his hand, if he was broken this time, he would definitely break his tendons and fractures.

Between the lightning and flint, Zhu Wu's body spun around like a loach, and his legs were between Kuroko's thick arms, using his strength to fight.

plopped, and both fell to the ground at the same time.

"Ahh

Kuroko screamed in pain, and Zhu Wu pressed one of his arms with a cross.

"To break or not to break?"

Zhu Wu's mind was confused, and suddenly there was a cold light behind him, and he was terrified.

Turning around, Shopkeeper Guo was now behind him, his eyes were cold. A black-faced man, the three-foot long knife in his hand was already on Zhu Wu's neck. In an instant, he can make his head fall to the ground.

……

"Shopkeeper, I'm not eavesdropping, I'm really passing by. I'm in the kitchen to help the eldest lady make dumplings, if you don't believe it, you can always ask the eldest lady. The eldest lady also said that today is your 50th birthday, and the younger one plans to kowtow to you for your birthday........."

There were only Zhu Wuguo and Heizi in the house, Zhu Wu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the two Guo shopkeepers just looked at him coldly.

"In your later life, you usually look quite smart, why are you so stupid? If you listen to what you shouldn't have heard, you are dying, and you can't complain about the old man. I thought about the fate of knowing you and me once, and giving you a peace, it seems that you are blessed! ”

"Shopkeeper, the little one didn't hear anything, the little one really just passed by." Zhu Wu desperately explained.

"Finished? After speaking, let the sunspot send you on the road, the old man knows that you still have a sister you recognize, don't worry, the old man over there will ask someone to send money over, so that she will not starve to death. ”

The shopkeeper Guo in front of him had a little kind eyebrow, and his eyes were cold.

Zhu Wu was stunned, his little life was explained like this? Don't give yourself a chance to argue at all, say kill and sand!

Heizi pulled out the short knife fiercely, and Zhu Wu's body couldn't help but retreat.

"Shopkeeper Guo, Master Guo. You are always a big hero who stands up to the sky, why do you want to see me like a little flower child, you always raise your noble hand and let me go. ”

Heizi had already grabbed Zhu Wu's clothes with one hand, and Zhu Wu turned his heart and shouted.

"The little one wants to follow the shopkeeper Guo to do it together, it's a waste for you to slaughter me, it's better to keep my little life. The little one must be grateful to Dade and follow you before and after the saddle. The villain is also a child of a poor family, forced by the government to almost starve to death, the villain has the strength to use the knife, the villain can also help you fight the country, protect you for thousands of years! ”

"Wait!" Shopkeeper Guo stopped Heizi and sneered, "You kid can talk enough with this mouth, help the old man fight the country?" Ten thousand years of special motherhood! What do you mean that Lao Tzu will be the emperor in the future? ”

Zhu Wuhu said all the way, he was panting, listening to what the shopkeeper Guo said, there may be a door in the heart. In fact, Zhu Wu didn't know that the father of this Guo shopkeeper used to be a fortune teller, and when he met people, he said that his son's life was unspeakably expensive.

In addition, if a group of heroes rise up together, a group of mud-legged people pull the pole to rebel, and they can build a country and become the emperor. The self-proclaimed shopkeeper Guo can also be unmoved.

So, he flattered and said, "Your old surname is Guo, this surname is amazing!" ”

"I've lived for fifty years, and it's the first time I've heard that our surname is amazing!" Shopkeeper Guo continued, "You go on, say that you are ugly. I can't say that the old man spared you! ”

"You always know in the Tang Dynasty, there is a great loyal minister in the Tang Dynasty, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has named Guo Ziyi, the king of the opposite sex in the Tang Dynasty!" Zhu Wu opened his mouth, what is good to hear, "It's your old family!" ”

Shopkeeper Guo nodded and smiled, "It's true!" is not only the old man's own family, but the name and the old man are only one word apart. His name is Guo Ziyi, and the old man's name is Guo Zixing! ”

Zhu Wu wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said again, "After the Tang Dynasty, there was also a general surnamed Guo, who was also born recklessly and later became an emperor. ”

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Guo was moved, "Why doesn't the old man know?" ”

Guo ...... Guo Wei! Zhu Wu finally remembered that when he was a child, Hong Kong and Taiwan historical dramas, and finally didn't watch it in vain, and said, "Guo Wei was born recklessly, but like you, he is a kind-hearted and righteous person." Later, he took his brothers around him to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

"Da Zhou?" Mr. Guo obviously has a low level of education and is not rich in historical knowledge.

Zhu Wu continued, "In the dynasty before the Great Song Dynasty, Guo Wei became the emperor, but he passed the throne to his righteous son Guo Rong without a son, but the sky had no eyes, Guo Rong died young, and let his general Zhao Kuangyin seek to usurp the throne!" ”

"You're talking about Chai Rong! The old man remembered that Chai Rong changed back to his original surname after becoming the emperor, and later Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied! Shopkeeper Guo patted his thigh, "Sure enough, there is no good thing with the surname Zhao!" ”

Have we saved our lives?

At this time, a female voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Don't stop me, I want to see my father!"

As soon as the words fell, the eldest lady rushed in.

"Xiuying, what are you doing?" Shopkeeper Guo frowned and said.

The eldest lady knelt down directly, "Dad, I beg you not to kill Zhu Wu!" I asked him to make dumplings, and if he dies because of me, I feel bad! ”
