Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and wading into temples Chapter 52 The rough old men will also cherish people
In Huaisu County, Annan Province, there is a large porcelain kiln factory in the middle of a farmland, and a gravel road is built at the entrance of the factory that is enough for four horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side, leading directly to the official road of Annan Province.
In order to facilitate the passage of the people, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan stipulated that when there was no war in China, the official roads repaired by the government could be passed by the people. However, once there was a war on the frontier, the official road was immediately blocked, and only the people of the government and the army could pass. If anyone refuses to listen to the dissuasion of the war and is allowed to pass through the official road without permission, he will be immediately arrested and imprisoned, and punished for the crime of obstructing the stability of the country.
In the kiln factory, a big fat man with a bare chest and breasts sat at the table drinking tea unhurriedly, but there was still a little fat man kneeling on the ground. He lowered his head and trembled too much to speak. Suddenly, the big fat man picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it on the man's head. The kneeling little fat man suddenly had blood on his forehead, but he still knelt respectfully, not daring to speak, let alone wiping the blood on his forehead.
The little fat man is Kong Ji, who is chasing the little potato on the street, and the big fat man sitting is Sun Dacheng in Rice's mouth, that is, the distant cousin of the third lady of the current queen's own brother, who claims to be a relative of the emperor.
Sun Dacheng glared angrily at the unruly Kong Ji in front of him, and scolded angrily: "I usually raise you with good food and drink, so I let you mess up Lao Tzu for doing this little thing, useless things, see if I don't stone you to death!" As he spoke, he got up, grabbed the bench under his buttocks, and beckoned to Kong Ji's head.
Kong Ji knew that he was going to suffer, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only have a close contact with his head from the bench surface.
Sun Dacheng didn't lose his breath after fighting, and picked up the teapot on the table to greet him again. At this time, a man standing next to him hurriedly reminded: "Brother Dacheng, don't kill him, there are still more than a dozen children in his hands." ”
Sun Dacheng heard him say this before slowly putting down the teapot in his hand, Kong Ji just knelt there and kept sobbing, not daring to make a sound. The man who had just opened his mouth to save him hurriedly stepped forward and kicked him, signaling him to get out of the way and stop being an eyesore. Kong Ji looked up at the man gratefully, and immediately crawled to the side on his knees.
That man's name is Gu Li, and he is the number one thug under Sun Dacheng, as long as there are any shady things, he basically does it for Sun Dacheng, so Sun Dacheng is also very confident in this person.
Gu left his mouth and reprimanded: "Kong Ji, don't tell Brother Dacheng the details of the situation yet!" ”
When Kong Ji heard the reprimand, he first trembled, and then said, "That little cub took the opportunity to go to the toilet and crawled out of the dog hole in the yard, and by the time we found him, he had already run to the market. The brothers had no choice but to chase him in the bazaar. But out of nowhere, a group of young people came out, they were very good, and the brothers who beat them had no power to fight back. ”
When Sun Dacheng heard this, he was angry, stepped forward and kicked him, and roared angrily: "You still have no power to fight back, you still have the face to say!" I usually drink wine and eat meat, I see that you are more fierce than anyone else, and when it comes to fighting, you are like a little chicken, what use do I want you. ”
Gu Li hurriedly came up and whispered: "Brother, it's not too late to fight after he finishes speaking, and dissipate his anger." ”
Sun Dacheng sat down again angrily, looked at Kong Ji and shouted, "What a god!" I didn't hear you keep talking! ”
The little fat man was so frightened that he was about to pee, and said hesitantly: "Brother Dacheng, I really don't dare to lie to you, there is a young man in his early twenties, wearing a blue brocade robe, and his skills are very good, and our two brothers are like decorations in front of him." ”
Sun Dacheng was angry and was about to go crazy again, Gu Li hurriedly asked, "Do you know what the name of the person who is blocking you is?" Where are the people? ”
Kong Ji lowered his head and whispered: "I don't know, I haven't seen it in Annan Road before, I only heard someone call him Ye Chen." ”
Sun Dacheng looked at Gu Li with a puzzled expression and asked, "Ye Chen, who is it?" Why haven't you heard of it? ”
Gu Li said thoughtfully: "Ye Chen, the name is a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it for a while!" ”
Sun Dacheng scolded: "It doesn't matter what the is, in the territory of Annan Province, there is no one that my Sun Dacheng is afraid of." Even the county magistrate of Huaisu County has to smile when he sees his master, do I still care about a young man? ”
Gu Li smiled flatteringly: "What Brother Dacheng said is, besides, isn't your sister still the lady of the capital!" ”
Sun Dacheng's vanity was satisfied, and he said with a smile: "That is, as long as my sister is here, I am still afraid that no one will succeed." I tell you, my brother-in-law is the general of the defense battalion in the capital, and that is a thin-faced figure that His Majesty the Emperor has to give a little bit of. ”
Several of his thugs took the opportunity to slap their horses, fearing that this opportunity would be fleeting.
Sun Dacheng said to Kong Ji: "You arrange someone to investigate the background of that person named Ye What, where to live, and tell me when you are done, see if I don't kill him!" ”
Kong Ji muttered in a low voice, "It's called Ye Chen." ”
Sun Dacheng picked up the teapot and threw it over, but fortunately he didn't hit the little fat man, otherwise it's hard to say whether he could live or not. The fat man didn't dare to slack off, respectfully picked up the teapot and carefully put it on the table, and said, "Brother Dacheng, I'll go now." Sun Dacheng glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "Get out." ”
At this time, Gu Li turned his head to Sun Dacheng and said: "Brother, let those children send away as soon as possible, I'm worried that something will go wrong if I run away, after all, in China, this is a capital crime of killing the head!" ”
Sun Dacheng glanced at him and didn't speak, pondering for a long time.
Gu Li continued: "Otherwise, I'll go to the black market tonight to contact the King of Hades and ask him to send people away quickly!" ”
Sun Dacheng thought for a while before saying, "Okay, you run, be careful not to bring your tail back." ”
Gu Liyin said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, brother, I have disappointed you once!" ”
Sun Dacheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but this Gu Li shared a lot of things for him, and he became more and more dependent on this Gu Li.
In the small courtyard in the west of the city, Xiao Tudou watched Ye Chen and Chen Bing punching them in a daze. Seeing him in a daze, Chen Bing stepped forward and pulled him to the crowd and said with a smile: "Come and practice with us, so that the next time you encounter a bad guy, you won't be powerless to fight back." ”
Little Potato was ecstatic, in fact, he had long wanted to practice together, but his skin was too thin, and he was too embarrassed to speak.
Ye Chen thought about what Wu Jinsong taught him, and began to teach Xiao Tudou some simple moves. This is also the first time that Xiao Tudou has practiced martial arts formally, so it is full of freshness, and he doesn't feel tired after practicing for an hour. Chen Bing sat on the stone steps and looked at the little potato and said with a smile: "Chenzi, how do I think this kid is a bit like you when I was a child, anyway, the more I look at it, the more I like it." ”
Ye Chen patted him with a smile and said, "You don't want to say that I gave birth to this, do you?" ”
Chen Bing's smile was even more obscene, I didn't say it, this is your own admission.
At this time, the little potato came over while wiping the sweat on his forehead while walking, and seeing that the two of them were laughing, he sat down at the bottom of the steps and asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?" Am I having a hard time practicing? ”
Ye Chen covered his eyes and said perfunctorily: "You practice very well, you are talented, we are not laughing at you." ”
Little Potato is confused, and there is no one else here.
Seeing this, Chen Bing smiled and said, "We are discussing your father." ”
The little potato immediately became happy, grabbed Chen Bing's arm and asked excitedly, "Brother Bing, have you found my father?" ”
Chen Bing was a little embarrassed, making this little guy happy in vain. Then he opened his mouth to play a round: "We are discussing where your father will go, and we can let people find it." ”
Little Potato's expression immediately dimmed, and he stopped talking after a sigh.
Ye Chen was also distressed to see him like this, but he didn't know how to comfort him, he knew how cruel the pain of losing a loved one was to a child about ten years old.
At this time, Zou Hu ran over and asked everyone to go to the cafeteria to eat, otherwise Ye Chen really didn't know how to end up.
In the cafeteria, the three large round tables were full of people, and everyone was waiting for Ye Chen and them to come to eat.
Since moving to the small courtyard in the western suburbs, they have not eaten like in Fenghua Building, where there are many dishes on one table. At everyone's suggestion, it was changed to a big pot of rice in the army, because everyone said that it was fragrant and full! Therefore, Ye Chen told the cook to cook three or four large pots of dishes every day, and he must have a meal of meat to eat every day.
Everyone returned to military life, so when they were eating, a pot of meat dishes bottomed out not long after they came up. This caught the little potato off guard, and he was going to eat a bite of rice to stuff a pork belly into his mouth, but as soon as he looked up, he saw that the shiny plate had been swept away.
He turned his head to look at Ye Chen, Ye Chen looked funny, took two pieces of meat from Chen Bing's bowl and put them in his bowl, and the little potato smiled and lowered his head and ate it in a big gulp.
And Chen Bing, who was on the side, saw the pitiful little eyes of the little potato, and unusually, he actually sandwiched the remaining four or five pieces of meat in his bowl into the bowl of the small potato, looking at the little potato full of happiness, Chen Bing also ate more and more fragrant.
Zou Hu walked over from the side with a bowl and joked: "Yo, when did Bingye become so loving, he knew that he would share his beloved meat with small potatoes to eat." ”
A group of men suddenly coaxed, which made Chen Bingwei embarrassed, and then laughed and reprimanded: "Meat can't stop your mouths, be careful that next time Bingye doesn't allocate money to the canteen to buy meat." ”
Hu Jie quipped: "Bingye still knows shame, hey, what's wrong today." ”
Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone frolicking: "Bingzi knows that he feels distressed." ”
Wu Youtian stood up and exchanged his butt with Chen Bing, and said with a smile: "Master Bing, this little potato won't have anything to do with you!" ”
Everyone was gossiping when they heard this, Ye Chen also watched the excitement while eating, and I don't know who said coldly: "It won't be the son of Bingzi." "It's okay not to say this, but everyone is out of control when I say it. What was supposed to be a good meal in the cafeteria ended up being a rice ball war.
Ye Chen was afraid that Little Potato would think wildly when he heard this, so he explained in his ear: "This group of big brothers usually rarely sees outsiders, and they like you very much when they see you coming." It's just that they usually joke a little bit unconcerned, little potato, don't be angry with them. ”
Little Potato raised his head with rice in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I know, the big brothers here take good care of me, and they joke because they like me, so I won't be angry with them." ”
