Chapter 10: Three kicks to Choi Erlang
In the inner courtyard of Cui's house, Cui Sheng rode back on a horse in disappointment. Because of the beheading the day before yesterday, those ruffians were like frosted eggplants, without the slightest enthusiasm, and the bow game ended early in the middle of the game.
Let the servant help lead the horse, and as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Cui Hao, who had a grease stain on his mouth, and when Cui Hao saw that it was the third brother, a simple smile appeared on his chubby face. Although Cui Sheng didn't like this fat pig brother, he still wanted basic etiquette, so he waved at Cui Hao, chatted with him for a few words, and then left directly.
Cui Sheng has a smart brain, but he has no intention of doing anything or running a career, he likes to have fun by nature, unlike Erlang who pleases his father and expects his father's doting.
Walking into the inner courtyard, he walked towards his room, ready to take a rest, but heard a noise coming from the partition wall. This voice seemed to be from the second brother Cui, mixed with the woman's begging for mercy, I couldn't help frowning, I was angry for a while, and turned back to the corridor, but I saw my father standing in front of the door of the room that made an unbearable sound without saying a word.
"Father, my lifeline is useful, useful, haha, it's great, it's not kicked."
Cui Lie heard the laughter in the house, his face was full of relief, his favorite is Cui Miao, if the root of his life was kicked by that shrew, he would definitely take the shrew's life, now it's okay, as long as he catches the shrew and lets her serve Cui Miao well, and then have some money. After venting his anger, this matter can also be stopped, otherwise he will not blame him for being cold-blooded and ruthless, and he has done such a thing as hiring bandits to kill people in the Yangtze River waterway.
Cui Sheng glanced at his father standing in front of the door, although his face was not good-looking, but when he saw his father find out and look at him, he respectfully saluted and greeted.
Cui Sheng wanted to take the second brother out and beat him violently, but the family was made miserable by him, this kind of brother didn't want it, but when he saw that it was his father who connived at his brother, he had to be timid and retreat.
It was noon, in the wing room on the second floor of the Cui family restaurant, four or five (generally) people were sitting together, in addition to the two brothers Yu Chituo and Wei Chiyang, there were three other sturdy men.
All three wore turbans, and all wore swords, with a clear word engraved on the hilt. The three of them looked vicious, either gangsters or villains.
"Come on, brothers, have a toast!" Yu Chituo raised the wine bowl and toasted to everyone.
Wei Chiyang's wrist injury had not healed, so he had to raise his glass with one hand, and the other three people sprinkled with a bowl of wine, and their faces instantly turned rosy. "I didn't expect it, the Cui family hired you as a guard back then, because of some funding from the Cui family, the owner of the village had to let the two of you brothers come out of the village to be the Cui family's guards. This person has a pointed face, a hooked nose, and a slight bloodline of the Hu people, and it is Han Wuyi, the master of Sanzhai in Sanligang.
"I can't say that, although my two brothers are living well, they don't dare to forget the brothers who are suffering in the mountains, but the Cui family has had a lot of things in the past few months, my brother's wrist was injured when protecting the second son of Cui, and he has not yet recovered, neither of them can withdraw, otherwise they will go back early to visit the second master and the third master." Wei Chituo poured wine for Han Wujiao, and his words were sincere, with a slight intention of making amends.
"It's not to blame the two of you, you have left the cottage, many things can't be taken care of, recently in order to prepare for the winter, went to Jiangling County to rob some money, food and women, that don't want to die Lu Mingfu has to come to Jingzhou to borrow troops to attack us, and has to prepare to do it, so I chased all the way until Jingzhou City, I didn't expect to meet your brothers as soon as I entered the city, come, drink!"
"This is the will of heaven in the dark, the righteousness of the day in Sanligang, this righteousness of our brothers will not forget, if there is any use in the city, my brothers will not shirk." Wei Chituo poured the wine again, and then did it, and the five of them talked more and more happily.
"Hahahaha, good brother, come, keep going!"
Outside the city, he rode a white horse to Lu Mingfu at the east gate of Jingzhou City and dismounted, let the servants lead the horse, and went to the city gate to verify his identity. Not long after, Jingzhou Thorn Mansion, Liu Thorn Shi met with Lu Ming Mansion.
In the lobby, Liu Tingshi sat in the chairman's seat, Lu Mingfu sat next to him, and the two of them sat in a precarious position, waiting until the servants finished serving the wine, and Lu Mingfu saluted Liu Tingshi again.
"Liu Tingshi, my small county in Jiangling was attacked by mountain bandits, more than 100 families were hijacked, the elderly and children were killed, women were captured, and the granaries in the county were all emptied. I came here today, one is to ask for guilt, the second is to ask Liu Tingshi to send troops to attack the mountain bandits in Sanligang, and the third is to borrow grain. I also hope that Liu Tingshi will take pity on those innocent people and save Jiangling County. ”
Lu Mingfu cried as he spoke, knelt on the ground for a long time, and smashed his fists on the ground, very sad.
"It's... How could this happen? The mountain bandits in Sanligang have heard a little, and they are the righteous villages. Come on, pass on the ram captain. Liu Tingshi picked up Lu Mingfu, who was crying incomprehensibly, and asked him to explain the details of the situation.
Lu Mingfu was naturally grateful, so he recounted how he discovered the attack of the mountain bandits, how he gathered the army in the county to defend against the enemy, and how he failed miserably, and almost all the blame was attributed to his own incompetence and inability to benefit the people.
Liu Tingshi had to be comforted, this natural and man-made disaster was not to be avoided if he wanted to, until the ram captain came in, Lu Mingfu saw a little hope and stopped crying like a woman.
"In this way, the army can not be sent, the day has entered winter, from now on to Sanligang there is a distance of 300 miles, if the troops, but not to occupy the time and place, according to the ram captain said, only the spring opens, the mountain bandits looted food is eaten, and then send troops to besiege, is the best policy." Liu Tingshi looked at the ram captain, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Mingfu, and exhaled his heart impatiently.
"It's... This..."Lu Mingfu was speechless, so he had to look blankly at Liu Tingshi, who was sitting upright, and then at the ram captain who was standing, and swallowed his grievances.
"That's it, the troops can't be sent for the time being, but the relief food can be sent to Jiangling County, as for the guilt, I don't think it's necessary, the people of Jiangling County need you, live in Jingzhou City for a few days, rest and rest, and then set off back on a later day.
After Liu Tingshi finished speaking, he took the ram captain to leave the hall first, and the servants of the Assassin's Mansion waited for Lu Mingfu to speak, so they took him to the residence, so that they could take care of his diet and daily life, but after waiting for a long time, Lu Mingfu cried again, and the servants standing next to him were at a loss for a while.
After dozens of drinks, the five of them were drunk, and the food table was in a mess. Han Wuyi burped and looked at Wei Chi Tuo, who was half-propped up on the table, "I heard that Captain Jingzhou is a soft egg, I don't know if the rumors are true?" ”
Yu Chi Tuo laughed, and also burped heavily, "The ram captain is as timid as a mouse, although he has a few martial arts racks and a man's appearance, he is actually indecisive, greedy for money and lustful, and he is not as good as a woman when he is weak and cowardly. ”
"How can I wait for a man to be afraid of the thunder!"
People here are only drunk, in the inner courtyard of Cui's house, Cui Miao is refreshed, and he accompanies his father to drink, thinking that his life is not guaranteed, but he unexpectedly drank a few days of nourishing soup, and he was alive again.
"Father, the son toasted to his father and thanked him for his love. Fortunately, my father was able to invite a famous doctor to prescribe a yang nourishing medicine, and after a few days of recuperation, my son has fully recovered. Cui Miao smiled hippie, held a wine glass, and toasted to Cui Lie.
"Well, in a few days, I will ask Wei Chi Tuo to take you to Shili Village, and you will hate it in your heart, that little lady, you can do it well, and give you some money after you do it. Don't act recklessly in the future, Jingzhou City is now up to Liu Tingshi, and he won't know in the future. Cui Lie stroked the short beard of his chin, his eyes were deep and long, and he had the demeanor of the head of the family.
"Hey, hey, this shame on the crotch, my son must get it back for my father!"
"Huh?"
Not long after Cui Miao came out, in the house, a woman sobbed and put on her clothes one by one, her innocent face was dyed with red slap prints, and after putting it on, she limped to the ear room where the servants lived with the help of her companions.
A few days later, in the morning, the sky was slightly dark and dark clouds. Wu Yueya looked at the silent river, recalling Ah Xue's dejected appearance that day, and felt helpless, this may be fate. Poor ordinary people can only let fate destroy them, waiting for time to soothe.
I don't know when, Wu Yueya actually found that she liked to be in a daze so much, and when she heard Lu's mother's call, she came back to her senses and ran to help Lu's mother.
"Yueya, go to the Zhao family next door to borrow some coarse salt, the salt at home is gone. In the afternoon you go to the city and bring some salt back and give it back to the family. Lu Mu smiled and said to Wu Yueya.
"Okay," Wu Yue Aya pulled the black hair that fell from her ears and went to Zhao's house.
The Zhao family is on the opposite side of the well, and their family makes a living from fishing, and there are not many acres of land in the village. If it is said that there are two cows and three acres of land, this must be the Du family with a better life, it is the fat woman wearing a new linen cloth, and it is the woman who introduced Wu Yueya to Cui Miao.
Now, the better life belongs to the Du family and Wu Yueya, who has a monthly salary of 300 yuan. After all, Wu Yueya can eat meat several times a month, often white rice and pickles, and her life is moisturized, which is very luxurious in the eyes of the people of Shili Village.
Occasionally, Wu Yueya packed some goose meat and chicken in Gujialou, and would share a leg or a chicken wing for the neighbors, and eating meat by herself would also stain the envy of the people next to her.
Therefore, the Lu family now has a good relationship with the people in the village, borrowed two spoonfuls of coarse salt from the Zhao family, and Wu Yueya began to light a fire. This time I got some tea powder from the shopkeeper Zhao, Lu Mu had researched, and she was surprised to see the tea powder, this thing is the luxury enjoyment of rich people, I didn't expect the Gu family to send tea powder to Wu Yueya, and after asking, I knew that this was Wu Yueya's reward for making suggestions and making the sluggish jewelry store active again. The Gu family has opened several new jewelry stores, and ordinary people can afford to buy jewelry, Wu Yueya also brought a carved wooden hairpin to Lu's mother, although it is not as good as a silver hairpin, but it is cheaper and the shape is strangely beautiful.
Through several processes, Lu Mu added Wu Yueya's chrysanthemums pickled in autumn, boiled out six bowls of salty tea, and asked Wu Yueya to call the Zhao family to serve three bowls. Wu Yueya called the snotty child over and went back with tea. Zhao Lu of the Zhao family was fishing by the river, and Zhao Lu's wife brought a bowl of hot tea to the river for Zhao Lu to drink, Wu Yueya followed to the entrance of the village to see it in her eyes, but she felt that although these two people were poor and strong in their feelings, you didn't leave me and didn't give up, and couldn't help but admire.
After a while, after drinking the salty tea, Wu Yueya walked towards the mountain, not for anything else, but to save more firewood for winter needs. Stepping on the mountain road, she recalled that when she first came down from here, she was still very ignorant and ignorant.
Walking up to the dense mountain forest, here the dry branches, daydreaming, reminiscing about the summer cola with ice, and ice cream, a gust of north wind blowing, the wrist under the sleeve felt a little cold, and couldn't help but turn the memories to the hot pot, spicy hot, and the barbecue outside the school.
"Secret pig's trotters, small stir-fried beef, and a lot of kebabs, beer, hey," smash it, smash it, and continue to bend over the wooden branches on the ground. "Daydreaming, daydreaming, hey, how can I be a woman, I want to find a few beautiful girls to live a comfortable life! Drunk drunk! ”
Wu Yueya picked up a bunch of dry wood branches, picked them up and walked to the mountain road, humming the pop songs she liked to listen to on weekdays, and walked through the deep forest in the bleak north wind, but stopped her pace and stopped singing.
"Yo, little lady, what a coincidence!"
Wu Yueya looked at Cui Miao who was blocking the middle of the road, and there was a mysterious person wearing a hat guarding beside him, subconsciously feeling not good, and at the same time his head was big, and then secretly cursed a nervous disorder.
"Hehe, stalker! Idiot! Brain-dead! Unreasonable! Wu Yueya threw the wooden branch in her arms on the ground, and the wooden branch scattered into a mess.
"Huh? What the? Cui Miao stared at Wu Yueya, in addition to being unreasonable, he couldn't understand what the other party meant.
"That is to say," Wu Yue Aya snapped her fingers and counted them one by one, "You are stupid x you are stupid x you are stupid x, say important things three times!" ”
Now Cui Miao understands, you call me stupid, I can't tolerate it, "Slut, you dare to humiliate me!" Wei Chituo, catch her! I'm going to rip her clothes and hang her up in a tree and die!" ”
Wu Yueya narrowed her eyes slightly, and her hands had already pulled out the black rose pattern revolver on her waist, aiming at the man wearing the hat, "Whoever steps forward, die!" ”
Yu Chi Tuoben took a breath and took a step forward, and when he heard the other party's confident shouting, he couldn't help but stop and lean over vigilantly to pay attention to the surroundings, and did not notice the two revolvers in Wu Yueya's hands.
Cui Miao saw that Wei Chituo didn't dare to move forward, he was anxious and angry, "Why are you even afraid of a woman, aren't you a quasi-first-class master?" If you can't even take a woman today, you don't have to stay in our Cui ... Family... It's gone, Gollum~"
Wu Yueya watched Yu Chituo throw down the hat, he turned his head and glanced at Cui Miao with a vicious gaze, forcing Cui Miao to stop his mouth, and his eyes went straight to Wu Yueya. Wu Yueya adjusted her breathing, and was not overwhelmed by the other party's momentum, but just looked at the other party slightly playfully, as if she was looking at an ignorant child who didn't know anything about the world.
Immediately, the gunshots rang out, like thunder in the sky, driving the mountains and fields, startling the birds lurking in the mountains and forests. Wu Yueya walked forward, looked at Cui Miao, who was shaking like chaff and spilled his legs and collapsed on the ground with his crotch wet, and passed over Yu Chituo, who was lying in the grass clippings next to him, lifted his skirt, stepped on Cui Miao's crotch, and scolded, "Call you cheap!" Call you cynical! So that you will know all day long that you have ruined the women of good families! ”
