Chapter 16 Miao Jiachao XIII
Li Jing suddenly turned around and arched his hand towards Jin Dahu and said: "They are all brothers in the rivers and lakes, he ate a few of your steamed buns, I will return them tenfold, and ask this eldest brother to let him go." ”
Before Jin Dahu could speak, one of his younger brothers suddenly shouted: "What are you to dare to talk to our Jin Ye like this." ”
"What the fuck are you to talk to my big brother like that."
Li Jue also lost his temper, rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working with the other party.
Li Jing grabbed him, shook his head at him, signaled him not to be impulsive, and then strode towards Jin Dahu.
Jin Dahu's eyes widened, and several men also rolled up their sleeves and prepared to go up to fight Li Jing, but they were stopped by Jin Dahu.
Li Jing approached Jin Dahu, took out the ten taels of silver that Zhang Shaoan gave him from his arms, and threw it at Jin Dahu.
Jin Dahu subconsciously took over, looked at it, and it turned out that there was a big ingot, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"This eldest brother, it was wrong to be a brother just now, these ten taels of silver are considered to make amends and pay for the steamed buns. This matter has been revealed, how about we be friends? ”
Jin Dahu was already jealous of the ragged man, and this guy came out of nowhere and stole the steamed buns from the food shop he was covering, originally thinking that he was a beggar and broke his leg. Unexpectedly, the other party was so good at kung fu that he knocked down seven or eight of his brothers with three punches and five kicks.
Now that the other party has two more people who look good, seeing that they look like they don't care, and they don't know how deep the water behind them is, Jin Dahu feels scared, after all, he has three sons and seven wives, and he doesn't want to be wiped out for such a trivial matter.
The other party actually wanted to make a big thing small, and he generously gave the silver, he just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, grinned and said: "As the so-called don't fight, don't know each other, my friend is so arrogant, this matter has been revealed." In Xia Jin Dahu, I watched this piece. Friends leave a million children, and we will see each other in the future. ”
Li Jing may not know about other incisions, but no one who has watched martial arts movies does not know what 'Wan'er' means.
Li Jing smiled, and said in the tone of the high-rollers he saw on TV in his previous life: "If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, your surname is Li and your name is Jing." ”
Jin Dahu laughed and said: "It turned out to be Brother Li Jing, seeing that the brother is not very old, he actually has a good ability, and it will be a matter of time before he opens up mountains and seas in the future, and wears a big hat." ”
Li Jing snorted, "Thank you Brother Jin for his words!" There are still things to do today, and I will invite Brother Jin to a banquet for noodles another day. ”
Having said this, Jin Dahu knew that the other party was leaving, so he arched his hand and said: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, brothers, we will have a period in the future." ”
Li Jing also said some words, so he and Li Jue prepared to leave, walked two steps, and found that the ragged man did not follow, Li Jing rushed to the body and shouted: "Let's go, friend, brother, I invite you to eat meat buns." ”
The man swallowed and quickly followed.
The three of them walked towards the city and entered the city gate, Li Jue complained in a low voice: "Big brother, you are really, you will give such a large amount of silver, if you let your mother know, you will be scolded for being a loser." ”
After Li Jing's training and the actual battle just now, he was a lot more imposing, and the formation just now was just a little scared at first, but later, his mind was full of excitement. But after all, he was born in a small family, and he didn't blink when he saw his eldest brother throw out ten taels of silver, thinking about his family's hard life, this silver was enough for the family to eat dry food for several months, how could he not feel distressed.
"You can earn money if you don't have it, with the eldest brother here, I'm afraid that there will be no silver flowers in the future!"
The two brothers talked and walked to a steamed bun shop. This steamed bun shop also sells noodles and some of the usual braised pork.
The man smelled the aroma coming out of the steamer, and his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling, Li Jing laughed and led the man into the steamed bun shop, "Little Er, first ten big meat buns, then three bowls of mutton noodles, and three catties of braised beef." ”
The shopkeeper agreed, and served a plate of big meat buns first.
Before the plate fell, the man's hands stretched out like lightning, grabbed two large meat buns, and gobbled them up.
In the blink of an eye, the two big meat buns were eaten cleanly, and he reached out and grabbed two more, and in less than half a cup of tea, ten buns were eaten up by him.
The man touched his stomach and burped, and when he saw that Li Jing and Li Jue were both looking at him directly, he was a little embarrassed, and smirked at the two of them.
At this moment, the shopkeeper brought a piece of noodles again, glanced at the three of them, and felt that Li Jing looked like a person who paid the bill, so he put the first bowl of noodles in front of Li Jing's table.
Li Jing smiled and pushed the bowl to the man's side, "Brother, eat!" ”
The man was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and rolled the noodles, not afraid of being hot, and ate again.
Li Jue looked at the man's eating appearance, estimated his amount of food, and secretly said in his heart, this guy must be able to eat better than me.
In the middle of his thoughts, two other bowls of noodles and three catties of braised beef were also served, and the three of them ate them.
Li Jing asked the man, "Brother, are you full?" ”
The man nodded embarrassedly, "I'm full!" ”
"Do you want to eat enough every day?" Li Jing asked again.
The man nodded even more, "Think, think, think!" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Li Jing's mouth, "Then follow me and ensure that you eat enough every day." ”
When the man heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
The three of them came out of the bun shop, and Li Jing suddenly asked the man, "What's your name, you don't look like a Hubei person?" ”
The man's brows furrowed, as if he didn't want to answer, but finally he seemed to have made up his mind and called Li Jing and Li Jue to an alley where no one was.
Li Jing and Li Jue were a little puzzled, saying that the name was so mysterious!
When he came to the alley, the man said to Li Jing: "Since I recognize you as the leader, I shouldn't hide anything from you." I am a Miao person from the eighteen villages of Miaoling Hantian, and the people in the village call me Chao Thirteen. Because our village was dissatisfied with the heavy taxes imposed by the government, the head elder went to the government to discuss with the dog official whether he could reduce the apportionment. I didn't expect the dog officer to beat us on the head for some disrespectful bullshit. The head was old, and he died within two days of returning. ”
At this point, his teeth rattled as if he were about to swallow alive the dog officer who had beaten him on the head.
"Our eldest lady was so angry that she took the strength of the stockade and went to the government at night, killed the dog official, and cut off the dog official's head. In order to retaliate against our eighteen villages in cold weather, the government sent heavy soldiers to kill our villages, and these miscellaneous pieces were killed regardless of whether they were old or young. Almost all the people in our village were killed by them, only me, the eldest lady and a few other clansmen were killed. Later, on the way to escape, we encountered a group of officers and soldiers, and our men were killed and scattered. I fled to a merchant ship, evaded the pursuers, and when the merchant ship came to shore, I came here. ”
Each village of the Miao people is a member of the same clan, and the manpower is very limited, and it cannot fight against the soldiers of the imperial court. In order to protect themselves, they generally form an alliance with multiple villages, and the owner of a village is called the head man, and the owner they identify will generally call him the head man. The leader of an alliance formed by multiple stockades is called the head elder.
Because the Miao people are scattered all over the country, there are certain differences in language and culture, and the names are not the same.
Historically, there have been three large-scale uprisings and dozens of small riots among the Miao people in the Qing Dynasty, all of which are directly or indirectly related to the Miao Mountains on the border of Guizhou and Hunan.
Li Jing didn't expect this guy to be a rectum and tell such a private thing. However, this kind of honest person is exactly the person he needs now, and he patted Chao Thirteen on the shoulder, "Don't worry, since you have taken refuge in me, one day, I will avenge your people." ”
Chao Thirteen suddenly knelt down, "Thank you Touren, Thirteen's life is the Touren." ”
Li Jing hurriedly helped him up, "Don't call me the head here, it's not good to attract the attention of the government, call me Master Jing." ”
Chao Thirteen nodded, "Master Jing." ”
Li Jing saw that it was not early, so he rushed home.
When the three of them came to the door, Li Jue went up and knocked on the door, and soon the third sister came to open the door. The moment the door opened, the third sister was still smiling, but when she saw Chao Shisan, a stranger, her smile froze.
Li Jue didn't notice the change in the third sister's expression, stepped forward and pushed the half-open door open, and smiled at Chao Shisan behind him: "This is my home, and it will be your home in the future." ”
Chao Thirteen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly nodded heavily.
Although the third sister was full of doubts, she couldn't ask it in front of outsiders.
After the three of them entered the house, Li Jing asked the third sister to boil some hot water for Chao Thirteen to take a bath.
Chao 13 heard the words and said, "No, I'm used to bathing in cold water. ”
Li Jing knew that many people who practiced martial arts bathed in cold water even in winter, so he didn't care and asked the third sister to take Chao Thirteen to take a bath.
The third sister finally became angry, and her willow eyebrows rose, "I'm a girl, you let me take a strange man to take a bath, and spread the word about how I can get married." ”
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was in ancient times, and men and women had to avoid suspicion, although poor families did not pay so much attention to it, but after all, it was really inappropriate to let a girl take a strange man to take a bath. So, he had no choice but to send Li Jue to take Chao Thirteen there.
After the two left, Li Jing compensated the third sister again. The third sister suddenly stretched out her white and tender little hand, "Where's my sweet cake?" ”
Li Jing had already put behind her promise to buy snacks for the third sister, and smiled awkwardly, "Big brother is very busy today, so I forgot about it." I'll give you some money, and you can buy it yourself. ”
As he spoke, he took out the dozens of copper coins left after today's meal from his arms, grabbed the third sister's hand, and stuffed them all into her palm, "This is all my brother's belongings, and I gave them to you." ”
As he spoke, he was going to Li Liu's room to see her.
The third sister stopped him and asked, "Big brother, who is who?" Take a stranger home casually, and the patrol master will inquire about it. ”
After being reminded by the third sister, Li Jing remembered that the household registration system of the Qing Dynasty was very strict, and if there was a stranger in the card A, the card chief and the card chief would come to inquire, and if this person was suspected, he had the right to arrest and send him to the yamen. The two dogs happened to be the card leader, and they had this power, so they had to guard against him.
Thinking of this, Li Jing thought about how to get an identity for Chao Thirteen.
The third sister saw Li Jing talking for a long time, so she asked again.
Li Jing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Someone came to ask, and you said that it was our distant relatives who came to join us." ”
The third sister stuck out her tongue at Li Jing, "Big brother is getting more and more ghostly." ”
With that, he ran away.
