Chapter 7: The Wind Surges
It was a little dark, but it was noon.
Monk Huigen, who was leading the donkey on his way, asked the master who was riding on the back of the donkey, "Master, why did you teach the Buddhist mind and the woman in that field?" ”
The monk raised his eyes and looked at the disciple Huigen indifferently, slightly dissatisfied, "One, all living beings are equal, how can you divide the noble and the low!" Moreover, have you ever known that the drifting mother's rice letter, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring! Of the two, the former is your fault, and the latter is the scenery behind your leaves! ”
Monk Huigen was ashamed, stopped his steps, and confessed, "The master has taught you a lesson, and the disciple knows that he is wrong!" It's just that the disciple thinks that although this little benefactor is diligent and kind, it seems to be very difficult to maintain her true heart in this troubled world, and people's hearts are fickle, if she uses this mental method to commit murder..."
"I also understand what you are worried about, as the teacher only taught her how to release qi from the Pure Heart Sutra, but did not teach her how to control qi, compared to if there is fate in the future, when you see each other, you will be able to tell whether it is good or evil." After the enlightened monk finished speaking, the sound of robbery came from the front.
"Well, the two bald thieves in front of me want to cross this road, but they all leave behind to buy road money! Leave the donkey and luggage, and your life will be left behind! ”
The wind blows through the mountains, the withered grass falls, the mountain people have no sentimentality, and the coarse clothes and light cakes can live.
Wu Yueya helped Lu Mu, entered Jingzhou City, first went to Nanfang to find the shopkeeper, let the shopkeeper lead the way, and went to the fabric shop to buy a medium cloth.
"When I first saw the little lady of the moon, I couldn't speak, but now with the help of the monks, I can actually get words, the sound is like a crisp warbler, like the sound of a piano, now it's convenient to talk, the Lu family is really blessed!" The shopkeeper personally led the way, smiling, and praised Wu Yueya to Lu Mu.
Lu Mu smiled often, said a few words modestly, and walked slowly under the support of Wu Yueya.
Lu's mother has inconvenient legs and feet, but she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and her speech shows that she is a talented woman. The shopkeeper sighed while flattering, this Lu Ziji was born in a savage family, but he can learn to be full of economy, and Lu's mother is afraid that it is inseparable, I heard earlier that there is a family in Shili Village that has a collection of ten volumes, and all the volumes of poetry, books and art of war are complete, maybe it is the Lu family.
Wu Yueya watched from the side, didn't intervene much, just waited for Lu Mu to choose the fabric, measure the size, and walk around Nanfang for a while, so she suggested eating some food to satisfy her stomach.
Wu Yueya originally intended to go to Gujialou to eat and drink, although the shopkeeper persuaded her, but Lu's mother felt that she was poor and poor, and she couldn't afford to eat those delicacies from the mountains and seas, and she didn't want the shopkeeper to break the bank, so she only chose a dumpling stall on the side of the road, and ordered three bowls of dumplings, one bowl for one penny, and one bowl for one person.
Wu Yueya ate the ancient knife noodles, a little disappointed, it was rare to bring Lu Mu to Jingzhou City, today's wind is not too big, after a few days, the weather has changed drastically, it is a cold day, and it is a little inconvenient to take Lu Mu out. Some time ago, the autumn sun was warm, but she was penniless, and she couldn't buy anything when she took Lu's mother into the city.
"Selling Hu Cakes, Selling Hu Cakes, fragrant, sweet and crispy, or freshly out of the cage!"
Hearing the shouting, Wu Yueya looked for prestige, only to see a big man guarding a cart, shouting on the side of the street, the Hu cakes in the steamer were steaming white, and the fragrance of sesame seeds swept in.
"A-Niang, this Hu Cake is so fragrant, I'll buy three Hu Cakes!" Wu Yueya put down the food chopstick, smiled like a flower, and proposed to the landing mother.
"Yueya, don't waste more, save money! You just buy what you and the shopkeeper have. "Mother Lu is not an uncivilized person, seeing that Wu Yueya is so happy, she agrees with her.
Wu Yueya taught the money she earned to keep it with Lu's mother, and she would consult Lu's mother's advice when she used the money, after all, she was favored by others before, and Lu's mother was an elder, if something happened to her, Lu's mother could also use the rest of the money to live a little life, and now she has a grudge with the Cui family, and she can't tell when the other party will be crazy and do something unexpected.
After buying two Hu cakes, Wu Yueya handed one to Lu's mother, and then handed one to the shopkeeper who was eating gluttony, and she didn't keep it.
"Why don't you eat it?" Lu Mu took the fragrant Hu Cake, looked at Wu Yueya who was empty-handed, and asked with concern.
"It's rare for A-Niang to come to the city, and I was asked to save money, but I didn't want this hot cake, so I only bought it for A-Niang and the shopkeeper." Wu Yueya was picking up the chopsticks, and after explaining, she heard a quarrel from the cake stall.
"Phew, it's unpalatable! Phew! ”
Wu Yueya was a little familiar when she heard the voice, and she couldn't help but feel strange, and looked sideways, only to see a person who was still dressed as a paper fan in winter spitting on the steaming Hu cake in the stall. The stall owner stood on one side, afraid of his obscenity, and did not dare to speak. There was a tall man standing beside Brother Gongzi, with his arms folded, staring faintly at the stall owner who was working hard to make a living, staring at the stall owner's scalp numb.
Wu Yueya took a closer look and found that this guy was Cui Miao, so she quickly turned her head, but it was already too late. This Cui Miao came to Wu Yueya, otherwise how could he trouble this stall owner who had never known each other and sold Hu cakes.
When the shopkeeper saw that this Cui Jiaerlang was full of spirit and walked towards this dumpling stall with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at Wu Yueya.
Wu Yueya also noticed that something was wrong, lowered her head, turned her head, and whispered a few words to the shopkeeper, asking him to take care of Mother Lu, and quickly comforted Mother Lu a few times. Only then did he turn around and viciously glance at Cui Miao, who was approaching, and ran away from his seat, while raising his middle finger while running.
As soon as Cui Miao saw that this little lady had run away, she glanced at the shopkeeper who was laughing here, and unwillingly glanced at Lu's mother who was wearing a linen dress, put away her fan, shook her sleeves angrily, and scolded, "Chase me!" ”
It was only at this time that Lu's mother came to her senses, she was afraid that the bully had taken a fancy to her daughter-in-law, and she suddenly became anxious. The shopkeeper was helpless, so he could only comfort Lu's mother, and prayed in his heart that Wu Yueya would not have anything to do.
With Cui Miao's angry shout in the market, a group of hooligan ruffians who had been waiting for a long time next to him also got up angrily, pushed away the pedestrians who were blocking the road, and overturned the small vendors who had not yet reacted with their flat shoulders, and started a chase battle in this lively Nanfang.
Wu Yueya's heart was not very happy, after all, after having a meal, she finally brought Lu Mu out, and she inexplicably caused such a trouble, and the anger towards Cui Miao in her heart was also ignited.
Passing through an alley, a gangster flashed in front of him, grinning and revealing a mouthful of buckteeth, smiling very obscenely, the corner of Wu Yue's mouth twitched, so ugly! After judging in his heart, he rushed towards the bastard, inhaling and then exhaling.
Seeing the bubbling little lady rushing towards him, this bastard opened her mouth even more, smiled cheaply, and opened her arms to take advantage.
Wu Yueya sighed, even if she looks ugly, she still wants to take advantage of it, what do you think of Lao Tzu, and it is time to show the results of the unloading after practicing for several months.
Aiming at the gap where the opponent rushed over, he lowered his body and grabbed the opponent's collar with both hands, moved to his side, swept the opponent's lower plate with one leg, and pulled it to the ground, and the bucktooth bastard was planted on the ground with a face. The thug's teeth knocked out and flew away.
Wu Yueya withdrew and continued to run, only to hear shouts from behind.
"Catch her, the person who catches her can get money, and the person who blocks her can get money!"
Wu Yueya glanced back, dozens of thugs chased her desperately, and smiled bitterly, she really wanted money and didn't want her life, under the heavy reward, there will be a reckless man! He turned around and continued to flee. These thugs wondered why so many people couldn't catch up with a little woman, and the other party ran faster and faster, and the more energetic they ran, and by the time they were all panting and resting, the little lady had disappeared.
Cui Miao walked over, looked at the gangsters who were tired and lying on the ground, was furious, went up and kicked their butts one by one, kicking and scolding, "A group of useless things, even a weak woman can't catch up, what's the use of asking you!" ”
At this time, Yu Chiyang next to him walked over, looked at the tired and impersonal gangsters on the ground, squinted and pondered, and understood it.
"Cui Erlang, don't be angry, I think this little lady of the Lu family should have practiced kung fu, so her physical strength is also different from ordinary people, why don't you directly mobilize all the ruffians in Nanfang to chase after her?"
"Well, just do as you say, if you don't do this little lady today, my anger will be hard to quench!" Cui Miao was also angry, so he continued to maintain an elegant gentlemanly demeanor and nodded.
Wu Yueya spared a side alley, and turned to the red silk building not far away, looking up, a warbler Yanyan was upstairs to the pedestrians downstairs to flatter, and some directly threw the handkerchief down, attracting the attention of some passers-by.
Wu Yueya looked back into the alley for a while, no one caught up again, secretly relieved, looking for a corner to rest, and heard the sound of laughter and retention from the Red Silk Building.
"Master Liu, go slowly, remember to come and see the slave family more when you have time."
Wu Yueya turned her head and looked towards the Red Silk Building, only to see a man in a green shirt shaking his head proudly, leading his two servants to the other side, and slowly recalled, this person seems to be the son of Liu Tingshi in Jingzhou City, but he doesn't have much good feelings, and he is a disciple.
Only then did I suddenly remember that Gu Renyi and Lu Feng, whom I knew before, were not all the way at all, and they traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an in order to gain fame.
She recalled the layout of the streets, and was thinking about whether to go to the city gate or go to the Gu family's shop to take refuge first, but there was an uproar around her, and when she looked up, those gangsters made a mess of the market, beating people when they saw them, and even robbing the small traders.
"Have you seen it, have you seen it, a little lady, ask you!" Li Si grabbed an unknown passer-by, spittle, stretched his neck and asked.
"No, no..."
"Huh?" Li Si heard the other party's answer and knocked the person to the ground with a punch. This man was lying on the ground, nosebleeds running down his nose, crying with a face, completely unaware of what he had done wrong today, and he was beaten for no reason.
Wu Yueya walked around to a small stall selling oil cakes, squatted down and hid behind the stall truck, observing the situation on the street.
Li Si felt that it was not enjoyable, and took a few gangsters behind him to a stall selling straw shoes, looked at the little girl who sold straw shoes with her father, and couldn't help but laugh evilly, "Yo, isn't this the little lady?" Brothers, give it to me! ”
"Oh, you're not allowed to come!" The scrawny middle-aged man picked up the flat pole, pointed at the gangsters who were about to rush up, and blocked them, but his legs and stomach trembled, and his expression was sad and angry. "Ah Xue, run, leave me alone!"
"Aye, I..."
"Run!"
"Run, hit me!" Li Si roared angrily, took the lead in grabbing a pair of straw sandals and smashed them on the middle-aged man's head, and several gangsters directly pressed it when they heard it. The middle-aged man was still dancing with a stick at the beginning, he was skinny and had no strength, but in an instant, the flat stick was also snatched away, and he was beaten violently on the spot.
Wu Yueya quietly watched those gangsters wantonly beating the middle-aged man lying on the ground, she took out the revolver that had been carried on her waist in her clothes, turned the revolver around her index finger, and with an idea, she pulled out the silk thread on the side of her sleeve, tied the pistol to the axle wheel of the car, and hid under the cake cart opposite, rolled up her sleeves and pulled it, and an explosion shook the sky, like thunder in the nine heavens!
The thugs who beat people were so frightened that they all covered their heads and fell to the ground, including the crowd watching the drama around them, holding their heads and looking at the sky.
It's just that the poor middle-aged man was beaten to the ground, and several bones were broken, and he was motionless on the ground.
The girl named Ah Xue took advantage of the moment when her father blocked her, ignoring the inexplicable thunder, and hurriedly ran and fled from the stall where Wu Yue Aya was hiding.
After the vision passed, the streets were noisy again.
"Poor sour beggars, who will buy the shoes in the winter!" Li Si spat on the middle-aged man who was already lying still, and stepped on it viciously, "With such a good daughter, it's better to sell it to Hongjuan Building, and get some money to have a good winter!" I don't know what to do! ”
"Brothers, let's go, go after Master Cui's little lady, hehe!"
Li Si didn't care whether the people on the ground were dead or alive, he just wanted to be happy, and chased the little girl with the gangsters behind him.
The group of people walked past the stall where Wu Yueya was hiding, and Wu Yueya lowered her head and secretly watched them leave, only then did she stand up in the noise. And there was a crowd of people around the Namang shoe stand, talking about the beating.
Wu Yueya walked up and took a look, the middle-aged man lying on the ground had messy hair, blood on his mouth and nose, curled up, and looked very pitiful.
"Well, this..."
"This person seems to be a single-family outside the city, it seems to be called Xue Hongfu, and I also bought a few pairs of straw sandals from him."
"This person is the down-and-out old scholar Xue Hongfu, I used to ask his daughter if she was selling, he stubbornly said no, now it's okay, it's better to sell it to others as a little wife as soon as possible, and you won't suffer this kind of crime if you sell it to Hongjuanlou!"
"Get out of the way!"
At this time, a loud voice sounded, the person who came was equipped with a treasure knife on his waist, and a conspicuous word 'dart' was engraved on the hilt, and the person who came was a small dart head of the Shuijing Dart Bureau.
Wu Yueya looked at this mediocre-looking young man with a slight sense of justice and went up to test the snort of the people on the ground.
"Yo, Lin Chen's little dart, how are the people?"
The man squatted for a while, faced the onlookers who asked, and finally shook his head, and said to the onlookers, "It's late, I'm out of gas!" ”
The surrounding onlookers exploded in an instant, why did they run out of gas, something big happened now!
Wu Yueya stepped back, looking at the noisy onlookers, with a sense of disgust in her heart, and at the same time, with heavy remorse, she offered a minute of silence for the unknown person who died on the street.
Recovering his mood, he looked at the lively street where the gangsters were leaving, and chased after him according to his memory.
