Chapter 15 Rags are hard to cover thousands of dollars
Xu You let go of his hand and took two steps back to the side. The man who fell out barely stood on the pillar, coughed twice in a low voice, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his lips, and said: "It's rude to bump into Lang Jun!" ”
"It's okay!"
Xu You replied, and then he saw his face clearly, in his thirties, his face was dark, with a frosty color, and his lowered eyelids covered his eyes, but he was beaten and insulted, but his demeanor was very calm.
He turned around and said lightly to the man with a mole at the door: "I have never seen the deer breast under my feet, so naturally I can't talk about stealing it." ”
Perhaps stimulated by his humble and arrogant posture, the man with the mole laughed angrily, pulled up the cuffs of his wide sleeves, clenched his fists, and prepared to come over and continue to do it. At this time, people from other houses also came out to see the excitement, and some people couldn't see it, and said: "Since he denied it, it means that there is something strange about this matter, and it is better to reason first." I really don't understand, it's not too late to go to the county office, why bother to do it? ”
"The truth of this is clear, even if he is a thief, he must be conclusive after the evidence is accurate, so he will not be able to convince the public if he listens to your words so hastily."
As soon as the two of them were halfway through speaking, they were stopped and silenced, and whispered: "You are from another county, right?" ”
"Exactly, how do you know here?"
"Come to think of it, this is a famous ranger in Qiantang, called Dou Qi, he must not offend him on weekdays, and he will be bullied for three points, not to mention that someone dares to steal his deer breast today...... You people from other counties, go out to seek wealth and peace, or don't wade into such troubled waters. ”
The two looked at each other, although they were not convinced, but they knew that this person was also kind, and when they were out of the house, more things were better than less, so they turned their heads and retreated into the crowd, no longer speaking.
Seeing that he could shut up outsiders just by relying on his reputation, Dou Qi became more and more complacent, and said: "Since you recognize me Dou Qi, I will talk to you about this matter, lest some people think that I am deliberately oppressing outsiders by virtue of my identity in this county." ”
He stretched out his hand and said, "This dog, with a roe deer head and rat eyes, has long had bad intentions, and has secretly coveted the box I hid under the bed several times. Sure enough, early this morning, I had something to go out, and he was the only one in the house, and when I came back from my errands, the box under the bed was wide open, and the deer breasts inside were gone. Tell me, is it wrong for me to ask him for repayment? ”
The people around talked a lot, and most of them felt that Dou Qi's suspicions were justified, not empty words, and it was not surprising that nine times out of ten it was this person who stole the deer breast. The eyes that looked over for a while were mostly disdain, disgust, and mockery, and some schadenfreude, waiting to see how Dou Qi, who had always been ruthless, could make fun of this person.
Xu You has carefully studied the rangers of this era, and on the whole, they are divided into three categories, one is the young man who is light and dissolute. For example, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is said that Cao Cao was a flying eagle and lackey when he was a teenager and wandered excessively. And he and Yuan Shao were also rangers together, causing trouble everywhere, and once saw the joy of people's newlyweds, they even hijacked the bride with a knife at night. Both of them are from famous families, and such bad behavior is a typical son's style, which belongs to the category of bad youth. The second type is the gangsters who do evil and harm one party. For example, "The Book of Jin • The Biography of Dai Ruosi" "is a young ranger, uninhibited, and when he encounters a land plane to Luo, the ship is very prosperous, so he plunders it with him." "Even the land machine dares to rob, which shows how bold and reckless it is. Similarly, there is also "Wei Shu Bi Zhongjing Biography": "Less good archers and horses shoot hunting, make light fruits, and often raid and plunder in the territory." "Such rangers began to form gangsters, gather crowds to plunder, and became a local evil, deeply hated by the people, but helpless; The third type has broken away from the bad youth and local evils, and has become a character such as a ranger hero, such as Li Yang, the hero of the Beijing division mentioned in the Book of Jin, and even Guo Shi, the wife of Wang Yan, who pretended to be powerful in the harem and was extremely fierce, was very jealous. Li Yuanzhong, the hero of Emperor Wei Xiaoming, the imperial court sent 500 people from Qinghe County to guard the western border, and later encountered obstacles on the way back, Li Yuanzhong only sent a slave as a guide, and the group of thieves retreated along the way, did not dare to provoke, and returned home safely. Such power and prestige, the small ones in the countryside and the big ones in the states and counties, can already be vaguely compared with the magnates.
Dou Qi should belong to the second type of not very successful, it is estimated that he has the courage to rob the family, but he can bully his neighbors, but the ability of the common people is not small, for ordinary people, scum like him is actually more harmful.
Facing the eyes of everyone who wanted to rip off the flesh and scrape the bones, the person standing next to Xu You was still the same unhurried look, his hands were tied in his sleeves, his eyelids were lowered, and he said: "I don't like meat by nature, don't say I haven't seen any deer breasts, what's the use of stealing them?" ”
"Phew! A poor dog with no money still wants to eat meat? Dou Qi spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm viciously, and said: "I see that you don't want to eat, but you can't afford to eat, so that's why you have the idea of beating grandpa's deer breast!" ”
If you want to say swear words, people today can't be compared with future generations, and they are all those words, especially "dog" and its derivatives are the most popular, and the frequency of occurrence is extremely high.
"How do you know he doesn't have a penny on him?"
Dou Qi was stunned, didn't hear clearly for a while, and glared at him: "Who is talking?" ”
Xu You took a step forward, Dou Qi looked at Xu You, frowned, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"They are all people who travel from the south to the north."
As soon as he heard that it was also from another county, Dou gave up his precautionary heart and said disdainfully: "Stand aside, you don't have the right to speak." ”
"Ren Xia is debauched, does not cultivate the industry, has no skills to settle down, and has no foundation for life, if you can talk about it here, I think, I should also have the right to speak."
Dou Qi's nose jumped, and the black mole seemed to fly out of the flesh, staring at Xu You and sneering: "If you are looking for death, first find someone to write a good family letter, so as not to be a ghost in a foreign land, and worry about your wife and children in your family!" ”
Xu You smiled: "What a big breath, did you open the Zhibin Building?" ”
Dou Qi's expression changed, and there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Hmph, Zhibin Lou...... So what, you can still go out all day? ”
"That's for later, let's talk about the present. Since you say that you are not a good oppressor, and you are willing to explain the reason and ask everyone to judge, how do you know that he does not have a penny on him? ”
Dou Qi sneered at the sky and said, "I just know!" ”
Xu You was waiting for him, walked to the middle, hugged his hands and bowed, and said: "Everyone, please see, although this Langjun's clothes are not high-grade brocade, they are also very fine silk cotton, and he can live in the guest house, where is the shy ragged person in the bag?" ”
Seeing that everyone was in thought, Xu You didn't give Dou Qi a chance to speak, and said: "If you want to know if he has any money on him, there is only one way, and that is to steal his package while he is away." Dou Langjun, did you say? ”
Dou Qi didn't expect that just a few words, he became a thief, and immediately became angry in his heart, evil to the side of the gall, his fist clenched, and his fierce face was revealed, and said: "Dogs, you guys, right?" ”
Xu You naturally would not come forward regardless of his own safety, and the reason why he interjected was because he saw that Zuo Yan had already returned from outside and was standing four or five steps behind him. And he vaguely felt that there was something else wrong with this matter, if he stood by and watched, this person who was falsely accused of stealing the deer breast might end up very miserably.
Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, this is not hypocrisy, but a little benevolence that should be guarded and should be had!
Seeing that Dou Qi was about to make a move, the man who had not made a sound since Xu You spoke suddenly took his hand and took two steps back, raised his head, and his eyes, which had been hidden behind his eyelids, were revealed. What kind of eyes is this, the pupils that are as clear as ink stones flickering with a deep and invisible glow, but they are mixed with the vicissitudes and eternity of the desert yellow sand, layer by layer, clump, containing endless mysteries and endless stories, people can't help but want to fall into it and explore what if.
He smiled gratefully at Xu You, and then in front of everyone, he took off his robe, threw it on the ground, and said calmly: "This is the clothes that were just made the day before yesterday, worth five hundred yuan, enough to pay for your deer breast, take it!" ”
Dou Qi didn't look at the clothes on the ground, and said coldly: "Do you know where my deer breast came from?" That is Yangzhou Zhidu sacrificial wine in Tianyun Mountain encounter the whole body of the snow-white deer, take its left meat to make this preserved, can live and die, meat and white bones, eat can become immortals. I don't know how much thought it took to ask for this piece, can you afford to pay for this tattered clothes? ”
