After the old man finished speaking, "It seems that he is going to Xishan Village", his complexion suddenly changed, and he couldn't care about sorting out the sugar gourds scattered all over the place and the shelves that had been broken.

It was difficult to get up, limped and chased in the direction of a man and a horse. The old man was anxious and injured, and had just taken two or three steps. The legs are tilted, and the body is tilted accordingly.

Jin Sanduo, who had just come over, was quick with his hands, and he held the old man who should have fallen, and comforted him: "Old man, slow down." “

In fact, Jin Sanduo's age is not much younger than that of the old man, but his body and bones are much stronger.

The old man who sold sugar gourds struggled several times to lift his feet and then settle down, but because he had just reached his feet in a hurry, he was now unable to walk again.

The old man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and begged: "A few masters are good, please send me to Xishan Village." ：

As he spoke, the old man trembled and took out a few copper plates in his arms: "All the little old man's family is here, if the uncle doesn't dislike it, please take it." I beg you to do well and take me to Xishan Village. “

Qu Cheng walked up to the old man and pushed back the old man's palm and a few copper plates in it. lowered his posture and said heartily: "The old man comes up, I will carry you over." I just wanted to go and see the bastard just now, and I almost hit my house and it wasn't a thing. ”

"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, see if I don't discount his doglegs. “

The old man was seriously injured after his foot, and he got up and climbed to Qucheng's back as a luxury. Seeing this, Kuishan and Ji Dacheng erected the old man on the left and right, and placed him on Qucheng's back.

The two said in unison: "Let's go, let's go and see which one is the blind bastard." ”

If there is a leader, there will follow, and except for Jin Sanduo, the rest of the group are full of righteous indignation. Shouting: Let's go, let's go and have a look together to see if there is a royal law. “

Xing Zhen was also among these people in the atmosphere, but Jin Sanduo was the only one who comforted him: "It's okay to go, calm down and don't make trouble." ”

Don't look at the age of this pedestrian, they don't fall behind in the slightest. Especially Qu Cheng, walking like the wind with the old man on his back, not panting at all.

However, Xing Zhen took care of the servants and things, and fell to the back of the line.

Xishan Village is located in a small village outside Shanliang County, with more than 20 small grass houses. Wang's day is a quiet and peaceful village.

Today there is a lot of noise, not a bustle but a mess. More than a dozen fierce men forcibly dragged out an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl from a grass hut.

The girl was dressed in coarse linen, but it was difficult to hide her well-developed and seductive figure. The strong rural atmosphere cannot hide the agility of youth.

The girl tried her best to resist, but she was helpless and weak. With all his strength, in the eyes of more than ten men, it was nothing more than a grasshopper shaking a tree.

The girl was unwilling to be taken away, and grabbed the door frame and refused to let go. The men turned a blind eye and continued to drag, allowing the girl's palm to be marked with blood marks by the door frame.

The girl who was resisted on her shoulders grabbed her hands while shouting for help. Hoping to catch the other objects again and slow down the men's pace. It's a pity that the girl's hopes were disappointed.

The man who resisted the girl sneered, suddenly patted the girl's buttocks, and smacked his lips: "Yes, it's quite elastic, when the young master has played enough, maybe he can reward the little ones." ”

A group of men who followed then smiled greedily, and their eyes glowed green as they looked at the girl.

Outside the courtyard, a horse suddenly sounded, and a brightly dressed boy came to praise the horse. I looked at a group of smiling men, and then at the girls with pear blossoms and rain.

The horse rider brother shouted angrily: "A bunch of useless waste, does it take so long to catch a woman? Hurry up and go home. ”

The men who were still fierce and vicious just now immediately lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes when they saw this son-in-law. Nodding his head and saying, "Yes, yes, please wait for a while, young master, and send it to your house immediately." “

When the men carried the girl past the horseman, the latter suddenly threw out his whip and slapped the girl on the back.

scolded: "What are you crying for, what are you crying about, your grandfather can't afford to pay off the rent." It's cheap to use you on top of the account. Damn old man Sun, he raised a really granddaughter, it's really useless. ”

Seeing that the girl was crying louder after being beaten, Brother Gongzi was upset, and slowly walked in after dismounting. Stretched out a finger to pick up the girl's chin, and said with a smile: "If you are crying, it will upset Young Master Ben." Strip you naked now. ”

The girl's face suddenly turned pale, her heart was broken, and her soul was broken, and she couldn't help crying, but she didn't dare to make a sound. Biting his lips and choking, two lines of heat rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

All of this happened to be bumped into by Xing Zhen and his party who dared to come later, and I saw the cottage bandits rubbing their hands one by one, their eyes spitting fire. The long knife behind Kuishan's back has been pulled out a foot.

Jin Sanduo stopped in front, facing Xing Zhen and the others, and turned his back to the horse riding boy. The color of the old Confucian is constantly changing, and the meaning is obvious.

"Don't you know who you are? No one can escape from making trouble here. ”

The cottage people were speechless for a while, and Jin Sanduo's concerns were not unreasonable. Now acting impulsively, not only will he not be able to help the old man's family, but he will even catch up with himself.

If it really provokes the government, it will be difficult to protect the lives of the three children of Xingzhen, Bu Shi and Dongxi. will also affect the grandfather and grandson who bought sugar gourds, and they will become colluding with mountain bandits from arrears of rent, and the death penalty is inevitable.

The cottagers clenched their fists with resentment. The old man who bought sugar gourd had his leg injury relieved, and he trembled and approached the horse rider.

begged: "Please let the peach blossom go of the young master Teng, the little old man will find a way to raise the rent as soon as possible." Peach Blossom's parents died early, and the little old man and this granddaughter depended on each other. You take the peach blossoms away and let the little old man live alone. ”

The old man walked as he spoke, getting closer and closer to his son. The latter's face was full of disgust, and when the old man approached, he kicked the old man in the chest, and then raised his horsewhip and whipped it violently.

The old man was already inconvenient for his legs and feet, so he leaned back directly by one of his feet. If it weren't for the fact that Xing Zhen was holding the old man behind, it would definitely be another heavy fall.

It was also Xing Zhen who grabbed the galloping whip and held it tightly and was in a stalemate with the horse rider.

The latter sneered indifferently: "Renting the land to your family is for the peach blossoms." You thought that Young Master Ben would be so kind and rent the land to you a bad old man. ”

"Hehe, the little guy who was in the textile market just now, a little timid. Today, Young Master Ben is in a good mood to let you go once, and next time he is messing with me, be careful of your dog's life. ”

Jin Sanduo pulled Xing Zhen to comfort: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, there are still servants and things here." Let's go back and discuss it slowly. ”

Xing Zhen reluctantly let go of the horsewhip, his fists were still clenched, and he glared angrily at the group of people who were walking away.

The peach blossom was carried away and choked away, and the old man stood trembling and crying.

Seeing that the old man who bought the sugar gourd was fine, at least there was no danger to his life at the moment, and the cottage group left.

However, in order to ensure safety, Ji Dacheng was left here to take care of it. It's nothing more than worrying about buying sugar gourds, and the old man can't think of it and commits suicide.

In the words of Mr. Jin Sanduo, the bookkeeper: "Ji Dacheng is stable and doesn't talk much, which is suitable for this job." ”

The horseback boy who disappeared from everyone's sight instructed the family next to him: "Check the residence of those people, I don't want to see them in Shanliang County." ”

When the cottage group returned to the agreed inn, Jin Sanduo deliberately detoured on the way. Led the group to visit a mansion.

Jin Sanduo pointed to the vermilion gate and the tall courtyard wall and said, "This is the Fuji family, the mansion where the brother of the horse boy just rode a horse is. You should try to stay away from here in the future and not get into conflict with them. “

"After all, our identity is special, so we shouldn't cause more trouble. ”

On the other side, the Yushan blacksmith shop welcomed a regular customer. After Pang Lao came, he ordered a lot of farm tools and supplies.

Feng Duozhi recorded beside him, and asked from time to time: "Where does the uncle come from, why do you need so many farming tools." ”

Pang Lao replied casually: "A small village outside the county, it's not cheap in winter, buy more and go back to spring." You know, farmers have to be budget-conscious. ”

Feng Duozhi nodded again and again: "At first glance, the old gentleman is a shrewd person, and the road is not far away?

Old man Pang shook his head and said, "No, don't look at my age, I still have a lot of strength." ”

Feng Duozhi changed the topic and continued to ask: "Old man, do you want this?" If you have a cow, you can use it without a lot of effort. ”

Old man Pang looked at it and said, "No, no, there are in this village." You young man, what are you doing asking so much, do you suspect that I am not a serious person?"

Yu Lao, who was knocking on the side, suddenly spoke: "Duozhi, go down first, don't offend our regular customers." This is the God of Wealth of our blacksmith shop, so I'll entertain you personally. ”

Feng Duozhi wanted to refute a few words, but after seeing Yu Lao's sharp gaze, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Extremely reluctant to leave.

These two old men have a tacit understanding, and there is no nonsense. Pang Lao points the number of commodities, and the rest of the old records are in the book.

After paying the deposit, Yu Lao smiled: "Thanks to the distinguished guests for taking care of the small shop, I will let Ergouzi deliver the packed goods to the inn where you settle down later." ”

"Our blacksmith shop is conscientious, and we will send more when packing boxes. It's not worth much, don't dislike it. ”

Pang Lao hugged his fists: "Thank you, thank you, I won't bother much when the matter has come to this point." There are more snacks in the shop, and then I won't bother, and the inn will wait for good news. “

Yu Lao clasped his fists: "Okay, okay, I'll send you a distinguished guest." ”

Pang Lao: "There is hard work. ”

The two old men walked far away from the blacksmith's shop, looking left and right and behind no one. Yu Lao changed his politeness just now.

"Damn old man, do you know to come down the mountain and take a look?"

The latter said: "Isn't it that Shanliang County has a new county guard, and the wind is nervous." ”

Old man Yu said disdainfully: "You still dare to come knowing that the wind is tense, and the portrait of your old thing is still hanging on the city wall." ”

Pang Lao didn't care: "It's just some mundane, and I can't see the true face of the deity." ”

Old man Yu was speechless: "Fart, you, the last time I drank with Su Yun, wasn't it seen by the children in Qingyang Town? ”

Pang Lao said deflatedly: "Last time I memorized the idea, Fang Zicheng had strange eyes for this little baby. Fortunately, Su Yun found out that he would be our people in the future. "

Yu Lao reminded: "It's better to be careful in the future." ”

"Okay, well, I'll try to go down the mountain as little as possible in the future. When children grow up, it's time to exercise. Getting back to the point, how is Shanliang County recently, and are there any of those bastards worth doing. ”

"Yes, the big landlord Tengjia. ”

"Okay, it's the New Year soon, and you have to buy and buy in the village. In the past, you could eat bran vegetables for the New Year, but this year, the punishment is really coming, so why should there be a little atmosphere. ”

"I think so, but be careful. The new official who took office as the county guard didn't burn the fire three times at once, and he was holding his breath to find a way. ”

"It's not the first time I've done it, so voila. ”
