Volume 4 Returning to the Past 21, the young man does not know the taste of sorrow



Zhou Xuan took a bowl and lined up to get the porridge, and the monk who gave the porridge saw that he was dressed in gold and fat but came to receive the porridge, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and scooped a bowl of porridge for him.

Zhou Xuan stood aside, "sparse" and drank like that, this is the real hometown early rice, although it is rough but there is a smell of rice.

Lin Hanyun saw Zhou Xuan drinking sweetly, thinking that this porridge didn't know how delicious it was, so he held a small tea bowl and walked over with a smile to receive the porridge.

Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Hanyun, if you want to receive porridge, you must drink it, and you are not allowed to waste it." ”

Lin Hanyun responded: "Got it." "Hand the tea bowl over the porridge bucket.

The monk recited the phrase "Amitabha", and knew that this rich lady was trying to be fresh, so he scooped half a spoonful of porridge for her, so that she would not be able to drink it and spoil the food.

Lin Hanyun was still too shallow to scoop, glanced at the soup soup monk, and muttered: "Stingy monk." He walked up to Zhou Xuan and took a sip, frowned, and said, "It's not delicious at all, it's as rough as sand." I wanted to go to the stream in front of the temple and dump the porridge in the bowl.

Zhou Xuan shouted: "Stop! ”

Lin Hanyun turned around and pretended to be cute: "Brother Zhou Xuan, I really can't eat it, I'll count the silver I bought for the monk." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Hanyun, let me make it clear to you, if you pour this porridge today, I will immediately ask Master Fan to send you back to Jiangzhou, and you will not be allowed to follow me in the future." ”

Although Lin Hanyun is usually a little arrogant, he saw Zhou Xuan's stern tone. But he didn't dare to contradict, pouting and saying, "I'll just drink it." What are you doing so fiercely, isn't it your hometown rice, it's very precious, right, I think you didn't waste it before---

Zhou Xuan didn't care about so many people watching, and walked over and slapped her little round buttocks: "Don't be wordy, drink quickly." ”

Lin Hanyun's buttocks were often beaten by Zhou Xuan, but now she didn't react much, she "hummed", drank the porridge with a sad face, and stuffed the bowl into Zhou Xuan's arms. "I'm done!" I'm done! What's the big deal! He sat back in the carriage, and Cumin came and washed the bowl.

When he didn't move, the two large jars of porridge were finished, and the villagers left with great gratitude.

Zhou Xuan talked with the soup soup monk, and learned that the porridge land was all villagers from nearby Chongshan Township, and it was the time when the green and yellow crops were scarce, and many villagers had no surplus grain, so they all relied on coarse grains and wild vegetables to survive, and they had to support until the new rice matured in early June to ease their breath.

Zhou Xuan asked: "On the next trip, I saw that there is a lot of farmland here." How could the villagers live in such a difficult situation, could it be that they suffered some natural disasters? ”

Seeing that Zhou Xuan was a foreigner, the monk said that it was okay, and sighed: "It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster, although there are many farmlands, it is not owned by the villagers, it is all owned by the Zou family of the North Batian and the Xie family of the South Batian." It is the forty acres of thin fields in the small temple, and the Xie family also wants to invade it. ”

Zhou Xuanxin said: "Nan Batian? North Batian? It's evil enough to listen to this nickname, it seems that buddy has the obligation to get rid of bullies when he returns to his hometown this time. Asked: "What is the origin of the Zou family and the Xie family?" ”

The monk said: "The Zou family and the Xie family are married, the head of the Zou family is the Shangrao County Order, and the Xie family has a daughter who is married to Wei Xuan, the left minister ----of the dynasty, as a concubine. Sins, sins, sins. ”

Zhou Xuan didn't expect the underworld forces in his hometown to be so arrogant, it seems that it is time for him to take action to eliminate harm for the people, this monk is not willing to say more, so wait until Yongfeng Town to learn about the locals, and the feeling of a private visit to Weifu is also good.

Zhou Xuan and his entourage followed the monk into the Buddhist hall and rejoiced. Zhou Xuan donated five hundred taels of silver. Helping the temple to give porridge to help the poor, the first abbot was overjoyed. This is the largest donation received by the "Boshan Temple" in the past 70 years, and Zhou Xuan was called "Zhou Da Benefactor", and asked Zhou Da Donor to leave ink treasures.

Zhou Xuanzheng had this intention, and immediately wrote: ""Picking Mulberries and Walking on the Boshan Road" ---- young people don't know the taste of sorrow, fall in love with the floor, fall in love with the floor, and say ----sorrow for the new word."

Fairy Jingyi and Xiahou tassel chanted again, deeply wonderful, Fairy Jingyi asked: "Brother Xuan, what about the second half of this word?" ”

Zhou Xuan thought about it, and then wrote again: "---- and now I know the taste of sorrow, I want to say that I will rest, I want to say that I will rest----" I thought that the last sentence "but the weather is cool and autumn" can not be written, it is now the Mengxia season, the weather is hot like a day, and the bull's head is not the right horse's mouth, hehe, this last sentence will be left to the original author Xin Qiji.

Zhou Xuan put down his pen and said with a smile: "This last sentence is not good for a while, leave it to future generations, Master Abbot, please put away this remnant word, two hundred years later, there will be a Xindi lyricist who will complete this word for me, keep in mind my words, there will be a miracle, and I will leave." ”

The abbot of "Boshan Temple" sent Zhou Xuan and his party out of the mountain gate, saw his carriage and horses Xuanhe, hugged the road and left, I don't know where it is sacred, can predict what will happen two hundred years later? After sighing for a long time, he asked the framer to frame the remnants of the word and treasure it, and attached the law book to inform the monks of later generations to pay attention to the lyricist surnamed Xin two hundred years later, and must ask the Naxin donor to complete this word, which will be a good story in the jungle and the treasure of the temple.

Zhou Xuan flickered Xin Qiji, was in a good mood, and rode the "Black Rose" to Yongfeng Town, thirty miles away, which was his real hometown.

The Xiahou tassel in the carriage has been chanting "Picking Mulberries", trying to make up for the last sentence, but it is always wrong, opening the curtain and looking at the back of Zhou Xuan riding on the horse, thinking: "This Zhou Xuan young man is ambitious, why do you say that he is sad, it is said that he is from overseas, what kind of sad past does he have?" ”

Xiahou Tassel became more interested in Zhou Xuandi, not only wanting to explore the secrets hidden in Zhou Xuan's lower abdomen, but also wanting to explore the secrets of Zhou Xuan's heart.

Zhou Xuan didn't know how many times he walked the road from Boshan Temple to Yongfeng Town, taking a car, riding a bicycle, walking, it can be said that he is very familiar, but now it seems completely unfamiliar, and the changes of a thousand years are not an exaggeration.

Today is exceptionally hot. Exposed to the sun, cumin sticks its head out of the car window. Holding a Fan Yang hat in his hand, he beckoned: "Uncle, put it on, don't get heat stroke." ”

The little girl is quite good at taking care of people, Zhou Xuan smiled, took the horse closer, took Fan Yangli and put it on, and saw a tea stall on the side of the road, so he said: "Drink a bowl of tea, taste the Fengxi water in my hometown." ”

The carriage stopped. Twenty or so people drank all the urns of tea from the old man in the tea stall at once, and Fairy Jingyi didn't drink the roadside wild tea field, but he also drank one in Xuandi's face, the water quality was good, and the tea taste was too bad.

In the distance, I saw a carriage coming from the road, and more than a dozen horsemen chased after it, shouting for the carriage to stop, and the people in the carriage thought that they had encountered robbers, and desperately beat the horses to hurry. I wanted to run to the tea stall, and the people were more bold and stronger, but where the car could outrun, it was stopped in a moment, and shouted: "Get out of the car and search." ”

In addition to the coachman, there was also a middle-aged servant in the carriage, and at this time they all got off the carriage, and a fat white scholar came down from the carriage. He cried out, "Who are you, and why are you searching?" ”

More than ten horsemen surrounded the carriage, and someone shouted: "I'm waiting for the Shangrao County Ya to arrest quickly, track down the murderer who injured the county grandfather and son last night, and there are still people in the carriage, all come down." ”

Seeing that he was not a robber, the white fat scholar was a little relieved and said, "It's my lady in the car." No need to search. ”

The first arrester shouted quickly: "I want to search for your wife, get out of the car quickly, and let me and others identify whether they are murderers." ”

The white fat scholar shouted: "Blue sky and white sun, is there any royal law?" Plain search for the daughter of the scholar, I will go to the government to sue you! ”

Some catchers sneered: "Official? We are the government. Hurry up and get everyone in the car down. Otherwise, we'll get to the bottom of it. ”

The scholar had no choice but to help the lady in the carriage down. also followed a little girl, looked at the crowd and said quickly: "See, my mother is also a lady from the Ren Eunuch family, how can she have anything to do with the murderer!" ”

But I heard the gang gossip and said: "It's a master and a maid, that's right, Mao Bangxian, come and see, are these two?" ”

Out of the group came an idler with drooping lower lips, looking up and down at the fat scholar's lady and the little girl----

Zhou Xuan and the others watched from dozens of feet here, and said stupidly: "It's not a bandit, it's an official who is asking something." ”

Lin Ning looked back from the carriage and suddenly said, "Hey, that white fat scholar is very familiar!" ”

The female assassin of the Falcon Gate has a very strong memory, and after thinking about it for a while, she said: "Master, you have also seen the white fat scholar, it is the Li Tao who pretended to receive the words of the master's "Butterfly Loves Flowers" in front of Xie Wei upstairs, and he is a scholar who is very funny. ”

Zhou Xuan didn't know very clearly, and said with a smile: "Strange, why did Li Tao come here, could it be that he came to chase tassels, blame me for a foreigner who took away their Xuanzhou Oiran?" The carriage that rushed to Xiahou Tassel shouted: "Tassel, look at that is not Xuanzhou scholar Li Tao?" ”

Xiahou Tassel heard that the official was searching the passing carriage, and his heart was raised, it is very likely that the surname Zou Dikuo Shao reported to the government last night to arrest people, and he couldn't help but regret that the methods were not clean enough last night, if he killed all those people, it would be fine, even if this murder case would cause a sensation in the county, but there was no evidence for death, and he was not afraid of being recognized, but now he is in trouble.

Xiahou Tassel was afraid that Zhou Xuan would know that she knew martial arts, so she replied in the carriage: "Childe, I don't see anyone, I don't recognize Li Tao, Childe send those people away, Tassel is a little dizzy, I want to take a nap in the carriage." ”

I heard the three idiots say: "Master, the catcher is coming towards us, it seems that he wants to search us." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Ask what is going on. ”

The group of Mao Bangxian, who were fast and drooping their lower lips, soon arrived in front of Zhou Xuan and others, seeing that there were many people on Zhou Xuan's side, and there was a knife on the ground, it seemed that they were rich businessmen, and they didn't dare to be too rude, so they arched their hands for the first arrester and said: "Everyone, we are ordered by the county order of this county to arrest the murderer, please come down in the carriage, let this Mao Bangxian identify it, Mao Bangxian saw the murderer's face with his own eyes last night, please make it convenient, we are also acting on orders." ”

Zhou Xuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The catcher said quickly: "The county lord was beaten and disabled last night, and the county lord has three days to catch the murderer, otherwise we will be punished." ”

Zhou Xuanxin said: "The county magistrate's son was beaten, don't even think about it, it must be because he usually does too much evil." said: "We are all here, let's call it the Mao Gang." There are women in the car, so don't be disturbed. ”

The catcher said quickly: "There are two women who injured the county grandfather." So please come down and identify the ladies in the carriage. ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "This is strange, the county prince was disabled by two women, why did the woman do such a poisonous thing?" ”

Mao Bang said: "My son-in-law saw those two women walking at night, kindly showed them the way, but I didn't expect her two to punch and kick when they raised their legs, and my son-in-law was seriously injured, and his left leg was broken. ”

Zhou Xuan sneered in his heart: "Niangdi dares to say that she is kind enough to show people the way, she must want to tease others." I didn't expect to meet the Jianghu Heroine, I deserve it! He smiled and said: "I see, those two women are too ignorant, but I am full of delicate women in this carriage, and they don't know martial arts, so you can search elsewhere." ”

The first catcher looked at Zhou Xuan and asked, "This son is not a local, right?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Jinling salt merchants, come back to worship your ancestors." ”

When those catchers heard that they were salt merchants, they looked at each other one by one. I thought to myself: "Salt merchant, he has money, this time I have to cheat him out of a sum of money." They coughed together.

The first arrester quickly comprehended, and said sternly: "Those two women are outsiders, and this carriage must be searched." ”

Judge Fan said angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes! The eight government soldiers under his command stopped in front of the gang of arresters, their hands pressed on the hilt of their knives, and their eyes showed a fierce light.

At Zhou Xuan's request, these eight government soldiers wore civilian clothes. Therefore, he thought that these people were the salt merchant's family guards, and said angrily: "It's against the sky, you dare to fight against the government, I will immediately transfer horses and foot archers, and arrest them all." ”

Zhou Xuan waved his hand, signaled Judge Fan not to worry about these people, and said with a smile: "Brother Kuai's words are serious, how dare I, a small salt merchant, fight against the government!" But my ladies don't want them to show their heads in front of outsiders. Are you accommodating? ”

The catcher quickly groaned: "You are a big salt merchant who returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, everyone is a villager, we shouldn't be embarrassed, but the county magistrate supervises it tightly, and it can't be strict." Let's take a look. Even if you get out of the car and take a break. ”

Lin Hanyun couldn't bear it anymore, she was forced by Zhou Xuan to drink half a bowl of brown rice porridge before. As soon as he was on fire, he poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Look, get out of here, and break your legs again!" ”

"Wow!" Now the catchers are like wasps blowing up their nests, one by one the chains are shaking "loudly", and the single knife is clearly raised, as if facing a great enemy, this woman speaks so arrogantly, and says that she will break their legs, who will this not be the murderer last night!

Zhou Xuan frowned and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

The catchers shouted, "Arrest the murderer!" Catch the murderer! He whispered behind his back: "This salt merchant has money, so he will be arrested and pay all his money." ”

The three idiots looked at Zhou Xuan and said: "Master, don't care about the friendship of fellow countrymen, these people have no reason to talk about, these are all robbers dressed as officials, right?" ”

Lin Hanyun jumped out of the carriage, brandished his pink fist and shouted: "Fight!" Kill them! ”

The gang saw that there were a lot of people on Zhou Xuan's side, and they were all carrying knives and swords, so they didn't dare to step forward, they bullied the people very much, they really saw the ruthless, but they were actually as timid as a mouse, and slowly retreated and said: "You dare to resist arrest, okay, you wait." ”

Zhou Xuan was in a very bad mood, this time he felt that he was unfamiliar with everything else when he returned to his hometown, and he didn't recognize the path of mountains and rivers, but the only official who bullied the people was almost the same as a thousand years later, and he still had a smile on his face, and said: "Catch Brother quickly, if you have something to say, how about I give you some silver?" ”

The catchers immediately stood still, became bold, and said: "Even if you know each other, you can pay three thousand taels of silver first, and then talk about it, you have committed a big enough crime today." ”

Zhou Xuan was shocked: "Three thousand taels of silver, you guys are robbing!" ”

"Robbing" is the local dialect, that is, the meaning of blocking the road and robbing the place, the arrest is naturally understandable, and said angrily: "Saying that we are robbing, it is really reversing black and white, lawless, and if you are arrested and imprisoned, you will understand what robbery is!" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Come on, break their left legs for me." ”

The eight government soldiers couldn't hold it anymore, and when they heard the words, they rushed out like beasts out of the cage, and the swords in their hands flashed under the scorching sun.

How can there be a fierce soldier, so frightened that they turned around and ran, they didn't dare to resist at all, the chains were lost, the knives were abandoned, and they didn't have time to get on the horse, so they spread their legs and ran.

The soldiers turned around and rode on their horses, shouted and chased, knocked them to the ground one by one with the back of their knives, jumped off the knife, broke everyone's left leg, and dragged back with a total of nine people from the Mao Gang, bowed down and said: "Childe, all of them have been caught, how to deal with them?" ”

Zhou Xuan looked at the group of wailing catchers and said: "Tie them to the trees on the side of the road, the horses are scattered, and we continue on the road, hoping that they won't come to trouble me too soon, and we will wait until I worship my ancestors." ”

The three idiots said: "This kind of person, the people also hate it, and they won't report for them, so they have to be tied here for a while." ”

The old man at the tea stall said with relief: "Yes! Say yes---- "Shut up again."
