Chapter 004: Baoding Xue Family
This proposal made Li Mao unable to refuse: he arrived in this strange dynasty, he was unfamiliar with the place, and survival was the first priority. Although Xue Rong did not report his life experience, he saw that this posture was also a local wealthy family, and he would not be embarrassed to eat and live for a few days in the past, so he would find a place to settle down first, and then make plans when he was relieved.
Thinking about this section, Li Mao said: "If Mr. Meng doesn't give up, I'll bother me for a few days, but there is one thing I have to explain first, my master thinks my qualifications are dull, and he never shaved me. ”
Xue Rong's eyes lit up again when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "What does that have to do with that, heroes don't ask about their origins, if you have such a chivalrous heart, you are not a bad person." To tell you the truth, Xue Mou returned to his hometown this time to visit relatives, and he will go to Chengwu County, Caozhou to take up his post in the near future. ”
Li Mao was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Is the head of a county the county magistrate?" After receiving Xue Rong's positive response, Li Mao's eyes lit up and said, "In this way, I still ask Mr. for one thing, can you help me get an errand in the county?" It doesn't matter what you want, just have a place to eat. ”
Xue Rong bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Engong is willing, I can't ask for it." ”
As he was talking, the little guy in Tsing Yi suddenly shouted: "Yun Niang hanged herself." ”
Yun Niang is Xue Rong's concubine, Xue Rong and his party were restrained by thieves in the forest, the thieves saw Yun Niang's beauty, **** her, Yun Niang suffered this great humiliation, she wanted to die, and she was afraid that the three thieves would kill her after robbing the money, so she stole her life with dirt, and took a good opportunity to escape, and met Li Mao halfway and was rescued.
At this moment, she saw that Li Mao restrained the three thieves and rescued Xue Rong, and while she was relieved, she suddenly felt bored, and while Xue Rong and Li Mao were greeting, she quietly untied her belt and tied it to a tree with a crooked neck, tied a knot, and put it around her neck......
When Li Mao and Xue Rong rushed over, they saw the scholar Qingmo holding Yun Niang's legs with both hands and pulling them down! Li Mao was taken aback, this kid didn't know if he was really stupid or deliberately pretending to be stupid, is this a way to save people? He didn't have time to think about it, he threw the dagger in his hand, and the belt tied to the tree with a crooked neck in the middle, the silk belt broke a gap, and was pressed by Yun Niang's gravity and torn into two pieces. Yun Niang fell down and made Qingmo into a meat pad.
Yun Niang was unconscious, her face was blue, Li Mao tested her snort with his fingers, and then naturally gave her artificial respiration.
Xue Rong's face turned blue for a moment, and he snorted and turned his head. Qingmo looked at his master, and then at this big monk of unknown origin, his head was dazed: lying on his mother in front of the head of the house, he also grabbed her arm and shook it, pressing her chest for a while, pressing her abdomen for a while, and kissing her mouth for a while......
The little guy will be wrong for a while, secretly picked up the flat burden from the ground, slowly rubbed it against Li Mao's back, looked at the back of his head, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and was about to smash the flat shoulder, but he heard a strange cry of "roar", Yun Niang suddenly sat up, and then coughed violently, and for a while tears were handed over, but the person woke up.
Li Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back, smiling, Qingmo hurriedly hid the flat burden behind him, looked at the sky with his eyes and pretended to be looking at the scenery, and threw the flat burden away in a moment's weakness, and unintentionally smashed it on the head of the cangtou, the old man screamed, rubbed his head and jumped.
"I can be regarded as saving you, I said this lady, why can't you think about it so much, you were humiliated by the gangsters and the fault is not you, Xue Xianling is a gentleman with a university question, how can he not understand this truth?"
Even in the prosperous era of civilization in later generations, artificial respiration for his wife in front of her husband will inevitably make people feel pimples in their hearts. In a hurry to save people just now, Li Mao didn't think about it so much, but at this moment he felt embarrassed, so he had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and say something inconsequential crazy.
This said that Yun Niang's heart felt a little better, Xue Rong's heart also felt a little better, Yun Niang's humiliation was not her fault, this idiot of unknown origin was busy saving people just now, not taking the opportunity to slight Yun Niang, which he could also see.
He is a true reader, open-minded, sensible, and not pedantic.
Xue Rong stepped forward to help Yun Niang, affectionately patted off the straw sticks and leaves on her body, and said solemnly: "Bad luck, let you suffer this great humiliation, the sin lies with Xue, what do you have to do with the lady?" In the past, you and I swore to the Heavenly Alliance that we would never abandon it, but today this matter has been revealed, and we will not do such stupid things in the future. ”
Yun Niang lay in Xue Rong's arms and cried happily, then she remembered to thank Li Mao for saving her life, and asked Li Mao's name again. Li Mao said: "My surname is Li, my name is Li Mao, and I have been a monk for two days, so you can call me a monk." ”
"That's fine, it's more intimate." Yun Niang lowered her eyebrows and said softly, after experiencing an unbearable catastrophe for ordinary people, she had just died nine times, but after a while, this woman calmed down.
She looked at the sky, her gaze slid over Li Mao's face, and persuaded Xue Rong: "It's not early, let's hurry early." This year, the river was affected by the disaster, and there were displaced people everywhere, and it was difficult to calm down the road even during the day. Xue Rong thought so, called the old Gu and the little guy to clean up the softness, discarded the stupid guy, and went to his house with Li Mao after a three-year absence.
Xuejiazhuang is located in Baoding County, Hezhong Prefecture, is a big village with 800 households, west by the mound, east ring of clear water, backed by dense forest, to the south is an endless fertile field, the Xue family has moved here from the east of the river has been four generations, the branches are scattered, the population is luxuriant, in Baoding County can be called a wang family.
Xue Rong is a first-class big family in the village, although he is not very old, but his seniority is extremely high, and most of the elders, lizheng, village zheng, and baochang in the township are fifty or sixty years old, and they call him affectionately Da Lang when they see him.
Xue Rong's mother Li is almost old, long thin and dry, but the spirit is very vigorous, she is very high, in the village has a majestic majesty, learned that Xue Rong was robbed in the mountains and forests, patted the bed and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, how rude the rat generation!" He was going to send someone to reprimand the elder, Lizheng, Cunzheng and the chief of the bao, Xue Rong persuaded: "It's about Yun Niang's reputation, and I ask my mother not to publicize it." ”
Li Shi pondered for a moment, exhaled sullenly, and said to Xue Rong: "You are too kind-hearted, and you are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue in the township, how can you be indecisive in the officialdom?" Let you go out alone as an official, how can your mother feel at ease? ”
Xue Rong saw that his mother's face was worried, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and talked about Li Mao. Li learned from Yun Niang and Xiao Xiao Qingmo about Li Mao's before and after saving people, so he fixed Li Mao as a reckless man, and when they met, they saw that although Li Mao was tall and similar to a reckless man, his demeanor was very decent, and he suddenly had a good impression in his heart.
When he first saw Li, Li Mao was very surprised, the old man had a kind face, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he could penetrate people's internal organs and see through the depths of people's souls. He secretly mentioned it in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless at all. Along the way, he has made up an identity resume for himself in his heart, except for confusing the times, it is basically the truth, so the answer is fluent and there is no flaw.
Li is a person who believes in Buddhism, asked some things in the temple, this is naturally difficult Li Mao, he has lived in the temple since he was a child, and he knows a little about the customs and etiquette of Buddhism, but just in case, he still foreshadowed in advance that his master is a wild monk, and the temple where he cultivates is a small temple that does not enter the stream, and he is just a small novice who works hard in the temple, and he only knows a little about Buddhist scriptures and customs.
For this reason, even if there are omissions, Li can accept them preconceivedly.
After asking around, Li's doubts gradually disappeared, and she said with emotion: "It turns out that she is also a lonely child. If you don't dislike the Xue family's rude family in the countryside, how about being a brother with my son, and you will have a mutual support in the future. ”
Li Mao hesitated: "This, how dare you climb high." ”
