Chapter 33: I Heard a Joke

"Brother, come and see, it's snowing!" Liu Jing was sleeping comfortably, and Han Ying's surprised shouts came from the courtyard.

When I heard the sound, I got up and washed, and when I went out to look, I saw that it was all over, and it was snowing heavily, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer of silver.

"It's today!" Liu Jing grabbed a handful of snow in his hand, called Hou San, and came to the capital prison camp.

First went to Zhang Jiaotou's house, and Lin Niangzi asked Lin Chong for the letter of resignation written to her, put it in her arms, took Sun An, and the three of them walked out of the camp in the snow, and came to the post pavilion five miles away, where Cangzhou must pass through to Dongping Mansion.

After waiting for an hour, there was no one in sight, and the weather was getting colder and colder, Hou San went around to pick up some dry firewood, lit it in the pavilion, and the three of them surrounded the fire, and took out a small gourd from his arms, which was filled with red wine, and slowly drank it to keep out the cold.

It was almost noon, and I saw a figure on the road covered by heavy snow, and slowly approached the post pavilion, only to see that the person was wearing a red tasseled felt hat, carrying a package on his back, and carrying a knife, but it was not Lin Chong.

Let's say that after Lin Chong and Chai Daguan Zhuang escaped, they went on the road for more than ten days, and today they caught up with heavy snow, hungry in their stomachs, and cold all over, and saw that there were people roasting fire in the pavilion, regardless of it, they were about to come in.

Lin Chong sang a promise in a low voice: "The villain has been gone for a long time, his body is cold, he borrowed a place to roast a fire, and he collided with several officials, so he is not to blame." ”

Liu Jing smiled: "It's okay, we're just here to enjoy the snow, there is wine here, brother Tai take a sip first to warm up your body." "Hand the gourd over.

Lin Chong thanked him, picked up the gourd and took a big sip.

At that time, I felt a flame from my throat to my stomach, and then spread all over my body, and exclaimed, "It's such a good wine!" ”

"Brother, where are you going, you're in such a hurry." Liu Jing asked deliberately.

Lin Chong pressed down the felt hat, tightly covered the golden seal on his face, and said vaguely: I was about to go to Dongping to do something. ”

"Oh, there have been Liangshan strongmen near Dongping Mansion recently, so you have to be careful on the Brother Tai Road.

Lin Chongnuo said two words, just bowed his head and roasted the fire.

Liu Jing changed the topic: "I heard that my brother's accent is a Tokyo, and when I said Tokyo, I heard a joke recently." ”

Hou San on the side hurriedly assisted: "Tell me about it, if there is anything funny, we will also have fun." ”

"That's the case, recently a friend came from Tokyo and talked about an incident, saying that among the leaders of the forbidden army, there is a person named Lin Chong, whose wife was molested by the boss's godson, but he didn't dare to fight back, you said it was funny."

Hou San and Sun An laughed together, and Lin Chong only squatted beside the fire and shivered.

Liu Jing said again: "What's even funnier is still to come, the boss's godson colluded with his godfather to make a game together in order to get Lin Chong's wife, and put Lin Chong in prison, but the funny thing is that Lin Chong actually divorced his wife, which means that his wife wants his wife to follow the boss's godson in order to protect himself." ”

"This thing is probably kicked by the donkey, you think, people are going to occupy your wife, and they have put you in prison, and they are not willing to stop if they don't kill you, so the goods are still distributed, and the boss's godson has already sent someone to kill him."

"It's just that his wife is suffering, but she is a real chaste martyr, I heard that she has hanged herself at home, there is still such a man in this world, because of his cowardice, he ruined his family, you say it's ridiculous!"

When Lin Chong heard this, his liver and gallbladder were cracked, he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood, kicked over the fire, took the gun, and roared angrily: "Who are you!! ”

When Sun An saw it, he pulled out his iron sword and protected Liu Jing.

Liu Jing snorted coldly, took out the book of resignation from his arms, and threw it directly on Lin Chong's face: "You didn't plant, but I can't stand it, come with me." ”

Lin Chong picked up the letter of resignation, held it in his hand and looked at it tremblingly for a long time, tore it to pieces, threw the knife to the ground, and followed Liu Jing down the pavilion.

The four of them walked slowly to the vicinity of the capital camp in the wind and snow, only three snowmen stood in the distance, but it was Lin Niangzi Jin'er and Zhang Jiaotou, who had been waiting there for a long time.

Lin Chong ran wildly, fell several times on the road, and ran to Lin Niangzi, and the couple hugged their heads and cried.

Liu Jing asked Zhang Jiaotou to take Lin Chong home for reunion, and he first ran to the dining room of the barracks to ask for hot soup to drink, and his brother was really frozen to death.

By noon, Lin Chong had been told the truth of the matter by his wife, came to the camp to find Liu Jing, knelt down on one knee and said: "Great grace is not grateful, in this life, Lin Chong's life will be sold to the father-in-law." ”

Liu Jing helped him up and said: "I don't want you to work with me, it's enough to train me all these men, this is all in the camp, and I will hand it over to you in the future." ”

Lin Chong hurriedly received the order.

Liu Jing recruited all those men, and immediately appointed Lin Chong as the deputy governor of the capital supervision camp, and Zhang Jiaotou as the gun and stick instructor, and asked several leaders to come to meet together.

Because the weather was too cold, I suspended the exercise first, just ran every day, rubbed lunch, and went home to the cat winter.

Liu Jing had nothing to do in the Great Song Dynasty, so he began to become a second-class dealer, looking for some antique gold and silver dishes from the warehouse, bringing them back to modern times, finding Manager Li of the auction house, and vacating it in several times, the account gradually became abundant, and he had more than 20 million deposits.

And because the Great Song Dynasty has been relatively cold recently, he found a labor insurance store, bought hundreds of military coats, cotton shoes, and cotton hats, got them back to the warehouse of the Metropolitan Prison Mansion, and bought a few silk nets that the Great Song Dynasty did not have, and wanted to go back to Panshui to go to winter fishing.

"Cotton clothes are gone!" With Ruan Xiaoqi's wolf howl, the entire barracks suddenly became lively.

The men lined up, with smiles on their faces, and they all said that they had fallen into the nest of blessings, even if they were forbidden to the army, I am afraid that they would not have such good treatment, and the military salary would not be deducted for a penny, and our family was really the first good person in the world.

A man said: "The prince is a god, where do you care about this money." ”

The people on the side were immediately unhappy, and retorted: "The immortals are all good people, but there is a forest immortal in the capital, and the bad ones are full of water in their stomachs, and many people grit their teeth with hatred." ”

Lin Chong was wearing a thick military coat, looking at the lively scene in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.

After he escaped, the Cangzhou Yamen sent out 3,000 yuan to arrest him, and somehow, he knew that he was staying in Fengfu, and immediately sent a messenger to negotiate with the county yali.

was forcibly blocked back by Fengfu Yamen, and said: Lin Chong is now a monk and has joined the Daojun Shenji Battalion, which is not under the control of the county government, if Cangzhou wants to take people, he can only ask the Son of Heaven in person, or go to Tokyo to find Yang Jian, the envoy of the festival, to negotiate.

The tolerance fart in Cangzhou didn't dare to let go, and when he went back, the county magistrate inquired about it, okay, it turned out that the people were fighting with immortals, and they were mixing something in it, so they quietly withdrew the reward and ignored it anymore.

"People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless, the family is already ruined, and in an instant, happy and healthy, this monstrous kindness, but how can Lin Chong repay it."

Not to mention Lin Chong's sigh here, Liu Jing watched the camp finish distributing the cotton clothes, and notified the fire temple to come and collect it, and asked how many old people there were in the Zhuangzi, and each of them was also given one.

When it was over, he took the sticky net from Hou San's hand and raised it in his hand: "Seeing that the New Year is approaching, if you want to eat fresh fish, follow me to catch fish." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi was surprised: "Can you catch fish in the middle of winter? Let's go, let's take a look. ”

In the winter, idle is also idle, a group of people wearing newly haired cotton clothes, mighty, all followed Liu Jing and came to the Panshui River.

Liu Jing took out a lot of iron drills that had been prepared a long time ago, threw them to Ruan Xiaoqi and Sun An, and let them make an ice hole in a short section until they reached the opposite bank.

After forming a row, they went straight down the hole in the ice to the opposite shore.

After finishing one row, he walked out of a certain distance and continued to the next one, until he played five rows, and then he gave up.

Seeing that those who were playing in the ice holes were sweating hot, and their cotton clothes were also taken off, Liu Jing hurriedly put them on and shouted: "That's it for today, come and collect fish tomorrow!" "Talk and laugh with everyone and go back to the barracks.

The next day until noon, Liu Jing took Han Yinghou and others, and Tang County Commander with them. It turned out that the county magistrate heard that there was fresh fish to eat, and after finishing his official duties at noon, he immediately rushed here.

Uncle Cao Guo, the old fairy, heard the wind, and the two Chang Sui, both wore military coats, and stood in the crowd on the shore to watch the excitement.

Liu Jing first came to the first place to put the nets, and asked someone to break the ice holes again, starting from the opposite bank, and slowly recovering the nets bit by bit.

After receiving the last ice hole that has expanded to the size of a basin, he begins to net and collect fish.

After only a few meters, two big carps of three or four catties were pulled onto the ice, struggling there, watching the lively cheers, Han Ying's little lady was wrapped like a zongzi, so she went down to untie the fish, and Hou San also went to help.

"But it's good, just this carp, you can't buy it for a tael of silver at the moment." Old Tang said happily.

The more and more fish were harvested, they were all in strings, and the little lady was puzzled, so she carried two fish ashore and let the other fish freeze into popsicles on the surface of the river.

Five blocking nets, until it was dark, Lao Tang had already picked a few big ones and his own dog legs to run away, Liu Jing and Cao Tong and others also picked their own fish, and the others let everyone take the camp together first, and wait for dawn to divide the New Year.

Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, Fengfu County suddenly has a rumor that on the wasteland in the south of the city where fairy plays are placed, fireworks will be set off on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, although I don't know what fireworks are, it should be very good-looking, and the neighbors agreed that it would not hurt to go and see together after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at that time.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the capital overseer slaughtered pigs and sheep, and killed a cattle that was said to have fallen to death.

At noon, a big feast of flowing water was held in the barracks, and all the old and young Panshui Zhuangzi and Taoist priests of the Fire Temple were invited to eat and drink together.

Lao Tang and his wife arrived early, sat at a table with all the squires, and the ladies all went to a special private room, and Liu Jing and several leaders were at a table, and they all let go of their stomachs and ate violently.

After eating until the evening, they all came to the side of the wasteland next to Zhuangzi to watch the fireworks.

The Taoist priest of the Thunder God Temple, in the morning, one hundred and ten boxes of various ceremonial flowers were moved around the earthen platform that was temporarily set up for the movie, and seeing Liu Jing's order, a Taoist priest first moved a box, put it in the middle of the platform, and found an artifact in his arms: a disposable lighter. The medicine twist was lit, and the man quickly ran down the earthen platform.
