Chapter 116 Gathering Short and Leaving Long
Words are long, and words are short. Wu Song lived in his brother and sister-in-law's house, and he didn't feel that more than a month had passed, looking at the weather in November, the wind was tight for several days, and he saw that the clouds were dense all around, and they had already flown the snow the next day. It's snowing! How so? But see:
Thousands of miles of snow are dense, and the sky is auspicious. Qionghua pieces dance in front of the eaves. At this time, the river is sluggish. In an instant, the buildings were overwhelmed, and the rivers and mountains were connected with silver. Flying salt is sprinkled with powder. At that time, Lu Mengzheng sighed that there was no money in the kiln.
These days, Wu Song is here, and none of the people who usually take martial arts are gone. It's just that he didn't know that his brother had been targeted by a tea seller in the early years, but this is a later story.
However, he said that since the county magistrate took office, he had to take more than two years, and he had transferred a lot of gold and silver, so that a confidant could send it to his relatives in Tokyo to receive and send it, and after three years of term he had completed the Hajj, he would take care of his boss.
First, I am afraid of the villain on the road, and I need a powerful person to go. On the same day, he called Wu Song to the yain to discuss: "I have a relative who is an official in Tokyo, surnamed Zhu Mingmian, and when he sees the position of the former lieutenant of the palace, he wants to give a gift and send a letter to greet him." I'm afraid that it will not be easy to travel on the way, if you have to go. You don't excuse your hard work, and I will reward you when you come back. ”
Wu Song, Zhu Mian, had also heard of it and knew that he was a corrupt official. But now that he is in the Yamen, he has to go to the county order. Wu Song responded: "The villain has to be promoted by grace, and he dares to resign!" And when he was sent, he departed. ”
The magistrate was overjoyed and rewarded Wu Song with three glasses of wine and ten taels of travel expenses. Alone.
Let's say that Wu Song received the words of the county, came out of the county gate, went to the lower place, called the local soldiers, but came to the street to buy a bottle of wine and vegetables and so on, and went to the Wu family. Wu Da came back from the street and saw Wu Song sitting on the ground in front of the door, and handed over the soil soldiers to the kitchen to make arrangements.
The woman continued to be emotional, and when she saw Wu Song bringing the wine and food, she thought to herself: "Don't you think about me here?" Otherwise, what if you come back? I'll ask him slowly in the future. ”
The woman went upstairs to rebalance the flour, then straightened the clouds, changed some colored clothes, and came to the door to greet Wu Song. The woman bowed and said, "Uncle, somehow I misunderstood, and I didn't come to the door for several days, so that the slave didn't pay attention to it." Today, I am glad that my uncle will come home. What do you do with bad banknotes? ”
Wu Song said: "Wu Er has a saying, I have come to tell my brother." ”
During this time, Wu Song knew the true face of this Pan Jinlian because he came to talk to his brother.
After hearing Wu Song's words, the woman said, "In this case, please sit upstairs." The three of them came upstairs, and Wu Song asked his brother and sister-in-law to sit down, and he beat him horizontally. The soldiers put the wine on the table and brought it together with their meals. Wu Song persuaded his brother and sister-in-law to eat.
The woman turned her eyes to Wu Song, and Wu Song only cared about eating and drinking.
After several rounds of wine, Wu Song asked the female envoy to ask for a cup, asked the local soldiers to sift a glass of wine in his hand, and looked at Wu Dadao: "The eldest brother is on top, Wu Er is going to Tokyo today to work in Tokyo, and he will set off tomorrow, mostly two or three months, and less in January, I have a sentence to tell you." You have always been cowardly, and I am not at home, for fear that outsiders will bully you. If you sell 10 pancakes a day, starting tomorrow, you will only make 5 pancakes and go out, leaving late and returning early every day, and don't eat or drink with anyone. When I got home, I lowered the curtain and closed the door early, saving a lot of right and wrong. If someone bullies you, don't argue with him, but when I come back, I will reason with him. Big brother, when you are close to me, drink this cup to the fullest! ”
Wu Da is an honest man, this time with his younger brother's support, how can he not listen. took the wine and said: "Brother sees, I will rely on you." ”
After eating a glass, Wu Song poured a second glass of wine and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law is a delicate person, there is no need for Wu Song to say more." My brother is a simple man and relies on his sister-in-law to make the decisions. As the saying goes, it is better to be strong than to be strong, my sister-in-law has a family, what is my brother worried about! Don't you hear the ancients: Dogs don't enter the fence? ”
When the woman heard this, a little red rose from her ears, her face turned purple, and she pointed at Wu Da and scolded, "You chaos thing. There are even words to say elsewhere, to bully the old lady! I'm a man without a headscarf, a tinkling mother-in-law! The fist is also standing upright, and the arm is walking well, not the pus and blood can't be rubbed out! Since the old lady married Wuda, a real ant doesn't dare to enter the house, what kind of fence is not strong and a dog can get in? You don't talk nonsense, and every word will fall! Drop a brick and hit the ground one by one! ”
Wu Song smiled: "If you have your sister-in-law in charge, it's best." As long as the heart and mouth are corresponding. In this case, I, Wu Song, remember what my sister-in-law said, please pass this cup. ”
The woman pushed away the wine cup with one hand, ran downstairs, walked up the ladder and spoke: "Since you are smart and clever, you are not a mother-in-law. When I first married Wuhan University, I didn't hear that there was a little uncle, where can I go? If you are a pro or not, you have to be Qiao's father-in-law. Since the old lady is unlucky, she is bumping into these many bird things! He cried and went downstairs. Precisely:
There are many bitter words and good advice, and Jin Lian has a grudge and a storm. His own family was ashamed and could not sit down, and he killed the hero's second brother angrily.
Knowing his brother's temperament, there are some things that Wu Song can only point to the end, and he can't say anything. Wu Da and Wu Song ate a few glasses of wine, couldn't sit still, and came downstairs, and the brothers shed tears and said goodbye.
Wu Dadao: "Brother went, come back early and see you." ”
Wu Song said: "Brother, you don't do business, just sit at home." Entangled, brother sent someone to you. Before leaving, Wu Song instructed again: "Brother, don't forget my words, and be careful at home." ”
Wu Dadao: "Ignore it." ”
Wu Song resigned from Wuhan University, returned to the county front, packed his bags and self-defense equipment. The next day, he received a gift from the magistrate, a pile of gold and silver, begged for a journey, got up and went to Tokyo.
When I reached noon in the middle of the day, I saw a large forest in front of me, all of which were red pine trees.
A native soldier who had traveled a lot of roads pointed to the forest in front of him and said: "In front of it is the red pine forest that has killed many guests in the past two years, and it is speculated that there are only two thieves who are the public, but no one can escape from them." The yamen pursued them many times, but they could not find any trace of them, and they were cunning. ”
Another soldier grabbed the scabbard hanging from his waist and said, "I wonder if they dare to attack us?" ”
The soldier who spoke earlier said: "Originally, there was a clay pot temple here, which gathered Qiu Xiaoyi, the Flying Yaksha, and Cui Daocheng, the Iron Crown Daoist. But I haven't seen it in the past few years, and it is said that he was eliminated by the heroes of Liangshan! Now I don't know if there are still people entrenched! ”
Wu Song heard the word Liangshan, and couldn't help but think of Wang Lun. If it weren't for my brother, if I had this official skin, I really wanted to go to Liangshan to join the gang.
Shaking his head, Wu Song, who was the first, smiled indifferently and said: "If there are good talents, when they send them to the door, they just add some entanglements for us." ”
The native soldier pushing the cart behind echoed: "What Dutou said is that the tiger on Jingyanggang also ate Dutou and killed him with three punches and two feet, what are the two path-cutting thieves." ”
The other soldiers also laughed, and no one was worried that they would not be able to cross the red pine forest.
In the past two years, the road has become more and more uneven, and the more you go to the Gyeonggi area, the more thieves will become.
When they encounter a place where a large number of strongmen are haunted, they also have to wait for some guests nearby, and hundreds of people go there in groups.
This red pine forest is also famous in the vicinity, and when they stayed overnight yesterday, the people in the inn reminded them to wait for dozens of people to come over, but Wu Song didn't care, and led a few local soldiers to come over.
The group walked to the edge of the red pine forest, but there was no wind and grass for a while.
