Chapter 41: The Good Man Tian XI
Seeing that the beautiful and beautiful little girl was crying so sadly, Tian Shiyi was distressed, and hurriedly wiped the tears on Xiaomo's face with his sleeve and asked her what was wrong.
Niu Xiaomo sobbed and said: "If this box of pastries is replaced with bran, it will be enough for hundreds of people to eat a full meal, and Xiaomo will not dare to eat it." ”
Tian Shiyi immediately remembered what Niu Gao said, "There are many people in the family, and they can't eat."
With a burst of self-blame in his heart, Tian Shiyi couldn't help but hate himself, he didn't think of asking Niu Gao to give his family a little money for so long. I don't know how the big family survived during Niu Gao's absence.
At this time, Tian Shiyi would never have thought that the population in Niu Gao's mouth was large, but it was not just a dozen or dozens of people.
Seeing that Niu Xiaomo was so pitiful, Tian Shiyi hurriedly comforted him, and praised Haikou and said, "Don't worry, with Brother Eleven here, all of your family will not starve again in the future." Brother Eleven guarantees that you can eat enough every day, and our Xiaomo can eat osmanthus cake every day. ”
Xiaomo glanced at the loving Eleventh Brother, and hurriedly burst into tears, wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "Daddy said that Brother Eleven is a good person, and he will definitely not ignore us." ”
The good man Tian Shiyi comforted Niu Xiaomo to eat osmanthus cake while telling the story to the little girl. But he didn't know how much suffering he would suffer from casually comforting the little girl.
The wharf of the canal is naturally a very lively place, but under the guidance of Niu Xiaomo, the donkey cart walked along the wharf into the distance.
Seeing that there was no one around, Tian Shiyi was secretly strange in his heart, but he saw Niu Gao suddenly come out of nowhere.
After paying the money and sending away the donkey cart, Tian Shiyi was led by Niu Gao to the wilderness. While walking, Niu Gao told Fang Baihua about letting him buy vegetable oil.
Eleven only learned at this time that Baihua and Na Pucheng left in a hurry, but they went to receive vegetable oil.
I heard Niu Gao say that in order to transport vegetable oil, there are a lot of people from home. Because it was too dazzling, he settled his family in the wilderness.
After walking for more than half an hour, Niu Gao came to a mountain col. Tian Shiyi looked at it, but there was no one.
I saw Niu Gao clapping his hands gently, and in the weeds in the col, behind the big stones, and among the bushes, huhula came out of the black pressure and pressed a large number of people.
Tian Shiyi, who was dumbfounded, looked at the scene in front of him stupidly, and only found out for a long time that there were thousands of people.
The men were dressed in tatters, and each of them had weapons on them. There were rusty or half-broken steel knives, improvised spears, and the most unfortunate of all had sharpened bamboo poles in their hands.
Thousands of people gathered in front of Niu Gao and Tian Shiyi, staring straight at Tian Shiyi, but there was no one who spoke.
Pointing to the thousands of people in front of him who could be pulled out to kill and set fire at any time, Tian Shiyi opened his mouth several times, but found that he didn't know what to say at all.
Niu Gao turned to face Tian Shiyi, suddenly knelt down, raised his hands into fists above his head, and said loudly: "Niu Gao of Taihu Water Village, I am willing to lead the people of Taihu Water Village to respect Brother Eleven." ”
As soon as the words fell, more than 1,000 people knelt down and said in unison: "May the eleventh brother be the master." ”
Looking at Niu Gao, Niu Xiaomo, and the thousands of water thieves with weapons kneeling in front of him, Tian Shiyi felt that his throat was dry for a while, and his mouth was so astringent that he was a little bitter.
Eleven really didn't expect that the family in Niu Gao's mouth was too large, and there were thousands of people.
Since the crossing, Tian Shiyi has been extremely dissatisfied with his life experience. If it weren't for the fact that he was the son of a thief, he would have to find a way to mix up an official position, so as not to roll around in the merchant pile. Businessmen have always been synonymous with low status in feudal society.
For a long time, Tian Shiyi was thinking about how to completely put aside the relationship with Tian Hu, and how to keep Baihua away from Fang La, who was bound to rebel. Unexpectedly, this famous Niu Gao in history was still a water thief leader at this time, and he had to respect himself as the master.
In this way, will he also become a thief? Then if you want to put aside your identity as a thief, won't it be all in vain?
After getting along with Brother Eleven for many days, Niu Gao more or less knew some of Tian Shiyi's thoughts, so he hurriedly explained.
glanced at Niu Xiaomo, who was kneeling in front of him with an expectant face, and heard that Taihu Lake Water Village never robbed houses, let alone had the intention of rebelling, but some people who had no livelihood wanted to eat together, so Tian Shiyi's heart was put down a little.
Since it is not a pure thief like Liangshan, there is always a way to transform it. What's more, I really need manpower, and now I can recruit thousands of subordinates without much effort, which is really a good opportunity not to be missed.
It is indeed not easy to feed thousands of people, but fortunately, I already have some surplus money in my hands, and it is enough for these thousands of people to eat for two months.
Moreover, Niu Gao is already a trustworthy friend, and he can't watch him make trouble.
Thinking of this, Tian Shiyi wanted to reach out and help the old cow up. After all, he is so much older, and it is really embarrassing for him to kneel on the ground.
After helping him twice, Niu Gao refused to get up. Strange in his heart, Tian Shiyi looked at Niu Gao's eyes and wondered what else he had to say.
Lao Niu's gaze was a little evasive, but he still said dryly: "There are still ...... in the water village And also...... Three...... More than 30,000 ...... Young and old. ”
Tian Shiyi felt that he must have heard it wrong, and asked stumblingly, "How ...... Many...... How much? ”
Lao Niu is very cooperative with Brother Eleven. "Three...... Three...... More than 30,000 ......"
As he spoke, Niu Gao involuntarily lowered his head. If he took more than 30,000 people to join Brother Eleven, he would naturally be able to hold his head up, but he was carrying more than 30,000 mouths, and it would be impossible for anyone to be upright.
Eleven felt a blackness in front of him. There are more than 30,000 mouths, if they are put together, what a hole it must be, and how much food will be needed every day to fill this hole.
Niu Xiaomo had tears in her eyes at this time, and shouted aggrievedly: "Brother Eleven......"
In Xiaomo's view, Brother Eleven is a friend of his father and the future owner of Taihu Lake Village.
Brother Eleven bought himself a box of osmanthus cakes for 100 yuan, and took a donkey cart for 30 yuan a time. Moreover, when the eleventh brother came, he also said that no one in their family would be hungry in the future, and he also bought her osmanthus cakes to eat every day.
Xiaomo didn't dare to think about eating osmanthus cake every day, as long as the people in the village could have something to eat every day, without having to eat enough, and there would be something to cushion their stomachs every day, Brother Eleven would be the best and best person in the world.
Hearing Xiaomo's voice of Brother Eleven, Tian Shiyi suddenly came to his senses. Is it possible that I don't care about Niu Gao? Is it possible to ignore those 30,000 mouths? The answer is no. When I think of people who are as pitiful as Xiaomo, how can I be ruthless and ignore them?
"Alas!"
Tian Shiyi sighed secretly, and said in his heart: Maybe, this is fate.
Through the Song Dynasty, it turned out to be Tian Hu's son. has a partner and sister who can trust her life, but she is Fang La's sister. Now even Niu Gao is the owner of Taihu Lake Water Village, what is this fate?
Do you have to be a thief?
Tian Shiyi was suddenly relieved, who said that if you have the reputation of a thief, you must be a thief?
At this moment, Tian Shiyi made up his mind that he wanted to give it a try and see if he could change this fate.
I have even experienced death, what else is there to worry about and fear?
