Two years later, at the beginning of July of the twentieth year of Qianping, Yuyang City;

"Miss, you go slowly". The girl who walked in front ignored it, and trotted all the way, turning back and shouting as she ran: "Red slave, go ahead, there is so much excitement there, and there are fun and beautiful things." The girl was about nineteen years old, and her appearance was beautiful and elegant, although she did not have the appearance of a sinking fish or a goose, and her face was not very delicate and small. The bridge of the nose is tall and hanging, the two sword eyebrows seem to be drawn with a pen, the black eyes are shining with a little light, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the smile is indifferent, bright as the spring breeze in March.

Look at it, red slave, you guys hurry up, I haven't seen such a lively before, the girl said and squeezed into the crowd excitedly. "Miss, Miss, don't go so far, Lan Liu and Hongsu went to buy dry food and things on the road, there are so many people, it's better to be careful." Good! Good! Good! The crowd shouted and cheered, and I saw a big man on top of his head! A big vat, the vat is full of wine, but the big man doesn't have to go, the heavy vat is firmly on the top of the head, just at the moment when everyone shouts and cheers, the big man drank the ground, and suddenly pushed the vat into the air with both hands, and suddenly the people were boiling, the big man used his mouth to catch the spilled wine, and held the falling vat with both hands, and the action was done in one go in a moment, and the applause was thunderous at the moment. The big man seemed to have drunk enough wine, a little drunk, suddenly pushed the big wine vat in his hand, and flew towards the crowd, the big man was not flustered, and moved towards the big wine vat flying out of the leisurely stroll, and the people who were still watching the excitement immediately panicked, watching the big wine vat smash to themselves, it was really "flying to the disaster", the crowd was in a commotion, the people in front retreated, and some simply pushed away the people behind and squeezed out. When I saw that the big wine vat was about to smash into the crowd, the big man suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the edge of the vat and climbed to the front of the vat with both hands, half lying on the ground, with his left foot as a support, and his right foot kicked to drink all the wine in the big wine vt. The crowd quickly calmed down from the commotion, and they were all amazed by the wonderful performance of this big man.

The big man was already a little drunk, and said to everyone with a big wine vat: "A certain is a Jiecheng ox rammer, and I also ask the fathers and elders to reward some wine money, hahaha, a certain relies on the strength of these two arms to beg for a drink. When everyone heard the matter of asking for money, they scattered and left, only a few people threw a few copper coins into the wine vat, and some of them threw a few broken silver, and when they came to the girl, there was a bang, and they threw two ingots of silver into it, and everyone else looked up, and whispered: "This woman is so generous, she must be a young lady from a noble family." ”

The ox tamper is not the same as the copper plate or silver, and does not thank the person who invests the money, as if the wine has been on the head, a little drunk, lift the jar and go by himself. "Miss, this person is so unreasonable, and he doesn't know how to be grateful for taking people's money." The red slave said. The girl looked happy and said, "It doesn't matter, this person is very interesting." "Miss, where are you going next, Lan Liu, they should be waiting at the city gate, if you don't go faster, I'm afraid that General Fu and they will catch up, I'm afraid Miss will have to go back." After listening to the words of the red slave, the girl's face was flushed with a faint worry, and after thinking for a while, the two round eyes rolled in her eyes, as if she had an idea, and said with a smile: "Let's go back, General Fu is my second brother's subordinate, if you can't find me, you will be very anxious, and now it's been eight days and I still don't have any news, I must be afraid that my second brother will ask and ask him for his dereliction of duty, so he will definitely come along the road, and everyone will look for it in all directions, so as long as we go forward, we will always meet, it's better to do the opposite, let's go back, It's bustling there, all the way back, so who would have thought." "But, does Miss do this, if you go back and accidentally bump into it, then ......." When did you become so cowardly, and if you don't try how you will be found, listen to me." After the girl finished speaking, she continued to eat and drink all the way, and the bustle of the place went there.

At this time, Shao Xu was walking to Yuyang City, just with the crowd to see the big man drinking in the jar, thinking that this man is so powerful, it is a pity to fall in the market, now is the time when I want to make a contribution, this person will definitely be a big help, wait for me to find an opportunity to test it, to see if it can be used by me.

When the crowd dispersed, Shao Xu followed the ox all the way to a wine shop. As soon as I entered the store, I put down the vat, only to hear a loud sound of the bell~. The shopkeeper hurriedly came over, raised his hand and said: What is the matter with this guest officer coming to the shop to drink and eat? Niu rammed his face slightly, and reached into the big vat with one hand, took out a silver ingot, and said to the shopkeeper: If you have money, this ingot of silver may buy this vat of wine. Enough is enough, the guest officer please sit down and eat some side dishes and wait for a while. Man, go get some side dishes and some wine for this guest officer. Well, please take a seat here, the guy said as he bent over and led the way.

After Shao Xu entered the wine shop, he sat down on the left front side of the cow rammer, ordered some side dishes and ate them. After a while, after Niu Tam was full of wine and food, he slowly got up and wanted to leave, Shao Xu was about to go up to talk, when suddenly a black-faced fat man came forward from the door of the wine shop, and there were five or six small men on the side. The black-faced man strode into the liquor store and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Liu Asheng, when will you be able to repay the money you owe for three months, if you don't pay it back today, you will smash your liquor shop"! After finishing speaking, a few small guys over there rushed in, all of them standing next to the fat black man. Liu Asheng replied tremblingly: "Uncle Jia, the villain is a small business, you come to collect the example every month, where can my small wine shop stand it, please have mercy on my lowly subordinate, and then give the villain a month, and then I will be able to pay it back." Liu Asheng knelt down at the man surnamed Jia, interceded and kowtowed repeatedly. The man scolded and scolded, but still did not give up. The big man surnamed Jia lost his patience and said to the little guys on both sides: In this Yuyang City, there is no Jia Datong who doesn't dare to do anything, and smash his wine shop for me! After that, five or six small servants immediately picked up their sleeves and smashed whatever they saw, and the people in the wine shop ran out one after another when they saw this, Liu Asheng hurriedly pounced to stop him, and was kicked to the ground by Najia Datong. If you don't pay back the money today, you will mortgage your shabby wine shop and your daughter.

"Don't stand in the way of here, what is the ability of a group of people to bully one." Niu Tam drank too much wine at this time, and the strength of the wine came up a little, and when he saw this injustice, he was angry for a while. The little guys stopped their hands and raised their eyes to look at Jia Datong. "Today, whoever dares to stand up for this Hu Nu will definitely not be able to get out of this Yuyang City"! Jia Datong's eyes were wide open at the bull rammer, which of his subordinates had already leaned towards the bull ram one by one, one of them had already pounced on him, he only stretched out one hand and knocked down the man, and the rest of the people rushed up one after another when they saw this.

Shao Xu wanted to take advantage of Niu Tam to find an opportunity to talk to him while he was drinking, but he didn't know how to speak, and when he was hesitating, Niu Tam had already gotten up and wanted to leave, Shao Xu also got up, put some broken silver on the table and followed him to the door of the wine shop. At this time, he saw Niu Tam surrounded by a group of people, and one of them picked up a wooden stick and walked away from behind him, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, so he said: "Strong men are careful behind them"! Shao Xu's shout also worked, the man was stunned for a moment, Niu Tam reflexively punched him, and the rest of the people looked at this person so bravely, and gradually did not dare to get close. "What are you afraid of, a bunch of useless things, surround him for me". Jia Datong glared angrily, and his eyes seemed to burst out with sparks, and after finishing speaking, those little guys seemed to be frozen, and after a while, they surrounded them again, and they all entangled the cow rammer. Shao Xu saw that Niu Tam was entangled, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he said to Niu Tam: "Why don't you break into one side alone and slam one person, and the encirclement will become weaker." After hearing this, Niu Tam suddenly woke up, and hit the person in front of him with all his strength, and the rest of the people saw that their companions were beaten, so they divided their spirits, and when they relaxed their strength, Niu Tam broke free. Jia Datong saw that his subordinates were all beaten to the ground, scolded a few words in his mouth, but his feet went to the door, and he sped up his pace and ran out while the ox was not paying attention, shouting as he ran: "You wait for me, I'll go back to find some people, and I won't spare you and wait." The little ones also ran out.

Shao Xu saw that they had gone away, so he stepped forward and asked Niu Tam: "The strong man is okay." Niu Tam saw that it was Shao Xu coming over, so he replied loudly: "These small nights can't hurt me, so thank you for this son's reminder and saved me from some pain." ”

"What does the strong man want to do next?" Shao Xu asked. "I haven't thought about it, I wanted to go to Jicheng to find my brother, some time ago I wrote to ask me to do a government service, which is also a decent thing, the road is exhausted, so I use this tank to do some business, and now I am afraid it will be difficult to go to the clan brother, just that person seems to be a wealthy family here, I am afraid that he will suffer now."

Shao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Strong man, have you ever thought about joining the army?" ”

"In the army? I haven't thought that there is nowhere to go now, but I am afraid that no one will recommend me, and I am just a small miscellaneous soldier who goes, and it is difficult to get ahead. Niu Tam hesitated a little in his words, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face.

"If a strong man believes in the next word, go with me to join the army, and I will recommend you to be a team leader, so that there are many more opportunities for meritorious service than ordinary military service."

Niu Tam's eyes widened, looking at this young man in Tsing Yi, does he have such great ability? "Strongman, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, let's go out of the city first and make another plan, how about it." Shao Xu saw that Niu Tamping was a little shaken, so he wanted to leave here, and then carefully tempted him to go to Yingzhou with him to join the army.

"What Childe reminded is that So-and-so forgot the bully just now, and he will definitely come to seek revenge when it is late, so So-and-so and Childe will go out of the city together."

Shao Xu appeased the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper to pack his bags and leave here with his family, and then he and Niu Tam quickly left the wine store, and the two of them rode a horse to the city gate.

At this time, Jia Datong had already led a team of government servants and more than 30 subordinates to chase all the way from the wine store to the city gate.

Shao Xu and Niu Tam did not dare to stay all the way, out of the city gate that is, to the north, the horse ran for a long time, and camel the two of them, the strength is gradually insufficient. Shao Xu found a place near the woods by the river and stopped, and was about to go to the river to drink, when he suddenly heard some noise not far away, so he waved his hand at the ox rammer, signaling it not to make a sound. The voice was closer, Shao Xu held his breath and leaned behind the tree to look carefully, it was four women, the girl walking in front of her was beautiful, Shao Xu looked a little ashamed, he was in a hurry and the dry food was not ready, so he hurried away, thinking that these women must have dry food on them, it is better to try whether they are willing to share some with me. Shao Xu got up and walked towards a young girl at the head, who was dressed differently from the other three, and the three must be maidservants. Shao Xu got closer, and the women saw him slowly walking towards him, and they all put their hands on the sword at their waists. The girl was looking at the mandarin ducks in the river, and thought to herself that these birds were in pairs and pairs, inseparable, so that it was love, and it would be nice if I could find such a man. At this moment, the sound of the short sword at their waist interrupted her thoughts, and as soon as she looked back, she saw Shao Xu walking slowly towards her. The young woman's face flushed slightly, and she thought, "This man is really handsome, with a long body and clear eyebrows, could it be that God has given me fate?" ”

"This young lady, forgive me for my rude behavior, I don't mean to offend in the next place, it's just for a day's food, can you share some dry food with the two of us."

The young woman could see her spirit, Lan Liu on the side touched her lightly with her hand, and said with a small body: "Miss, he asked you if you would give him some dry food." ”

"Points, points." The young woman still looked at Shao Xu stupidly, Shao Xu was also a little embarrassed when she saw this, and hurriedly thanked her: "Under Shao Xu, thank the girl for her kindness, and I will have the opportunity to report this kindness in the future." ”

"I'm not called a girl, my name is Yang Yingkey." The red slave and the red su on the side hurriedly pushed her and said in her ear: "Miss, how can you tell your real name, in case this person has any attempt, wouldn't it be very dangerous." ”

"Remember, Miss Xie Yang gave the grain today, then the two of us will go north, and we will find an opportunity to repay Miss Gaoyi in the future."

Yang Yingkey smiled and said: "No need to go later, I can repay it today, I will also go north, but we are all women, I am afraid that there will be some danger on the road, can I go with my son, and there is a care on the road, okay." ”

"It's... In this case, the troublesome girl will first fetch some dry food with me, for my brother is so hungry that he has not eaten for a day. ”

"Red slave, quickly get some dry food, water and this Shao Gongzi." The red slave pouted, and reluctantly took some dry food with Shao Xu. Shao Xu hurriedly thanked him a few times, took the dry food and water bag, and went straight to the woods, eating the dry food for Niu Tam to satisfy his hunger. ”
