Chapter 011: One Tael of Silver and Six Lives
Wang Xizhi likes geese, which can be said to be famous all over the world. Once, he went to visit the Jade Emperor Temple in Shanyin County, and saw an old Taoist priest raising a flock of geese, Wang Xizhi liked it very much, so he wanted to buy it. The Taoist priest said, as long as you copy a copy of the "Huang Ting Jing" for me, I will send all the geese. Wang Xizhi happily finished writing, and the cage goose returned, overjoyed. Later, Li Bai wrote in his poem: "If the mountain ** scholars meet, they should write the yellow court for the white goose."
Wang Xizhi's house has a pond and raises a lot of big white geese. Among them, there is a white goose that is particularly spiritual, as long as Wang Xizhi comes to the pond, it will follow inseparably, and it will especially please Wang Xizhi. When Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy, it would still dance on the side.
Wang Xizhi regarded it as a treasure, named it "Xue'er", and liked to hold it wherever he went.
Today they came to Shangpu Village to visit relatives, just in time for Xi Chao to come home.
The weather was good, and everyone went out for a walk after sitting in the house for a long time. Wang Xizhi led Xue'er to play in the south of the village, Xi Tan and Xi Chao were on the side, but who knew that Xue'er suddenly ran towards the south like crazy.
Everyone hurriedly chased after them, but they chased them to the outside of the fence courtyard of Shanbo's house, and just saw Triangle Eye shouting, and the two scoundrels dragged Liang's mother into the house.
So everyone hurried to save the Shanbo family.
Knowing what happened, Shanbo smiled and said, "So, Xue'er is my family's benefactor, and I have to thank it well." ”
Xi Chao said: "Cousin, why don't you hurry up and call your dog back, Xue'er has been swimming in the pond and doesn't dare to go ashore yet." ”
Shanbo hurriedly called back to Diting, and Xue'er returned to Wang Xizhi's arms.
At this time, the sound of wooden fish came from the east room, and it was obvious that Liang's mother was chanting the scriptures again.
Hearing the little sister chanting, Xi Xuan's tears flowed out again: "Back then, my father locked my little sister here and strictly ordered us not to visit. I really don't know that my little sister's life is so hard, she has been pampered since she was a child, and I don't know how she has survived these 20 years! ”
When it came to his mother, Shanbo asked urgently: "Auntie, why did my grandfather keep my mother here?" ”
"It's not for that disciple Liang ......," Xi Xuan just wanted to say more, Wang Xizhi hurriedly pulled her sleeve, and she quickly changed the topic.
Wang Xizhi took the small blackboard away, but he was embarrassed to ask for juniors' things in vain, so he wrote four big characters to Shanbo, "Please don't enter".
When Xi Chao left, he handed over the five scoundrels who were tied up by Wuhua to Shanbo and let him dispose of it by himself. Dealing with it means that even if you kill them, there will be no trouble, and Xi Chao will clean up the aftermath for him.
Shanbo secretly praised Xi Chao for being a good person, and understood that this was a big gift from his cousin, and he would definitely have to pay it back in the future.
Shanbo instructed Sijiu to take care of his mother at home, then took a wood-chopping axe and escorted the five scoundrels to the Cao'e River.
At first, the five scoundrels thought that Samber would beat them up and let them go. The triangular eye is dead, so you can't kill everyone!
They are still fantasizing that they will take revenge in the future, and they must burn down the house of the Shanbo family and rob his mother to the city as a concubine.
Seeing that Sambo tied the big stone to everyone's body, the five scoundrels were completely stupefied. They originally came to make trouble, smashing things and beating people, and then they could receive a reward of one or two pieces of silver, and no one expected to throw their lives here.
The five scoundrels regretted that their intestines were blue, and they swore that they would be reincarnated as human beings in the next life, and they would never do anything bad again.
He tied up the stone and said to the five scoundrels, "If you just beat me, I really won't kill you." You shouldn't have bullied my mother. bullying his mother in front of his son is a heinous crime, and he is innocent of death. ”
He grabbed the two scoundrels who were going to drag his mother into the room, picked up the axe and chopped off their hands. The two scoundrels fainted in pain.
There was a scoundrel who desperately spit out the rags in his mouth, touched his head to the ground, and begged Shanbo: "Liang Gongzi, I didn't want to kill you, and I didn't bully your mother, you are merciful and merciful, let the villain go!" ”
Shanbo sneered and said, "You broke into my house with sticks and killed people. When they bullied my mother, you were holding a stick and standing by, weren't you an accomplice? If you dare to break into my house with a stick or bully my mother, you will be damned. Those who insult their parents should be killed! ”
The five scoundrels were stabbed more than a dozen times by Shanbo, until they couldn't die anymore, and then they were kicked by Shanbo several times into the Cao'e River at the bottom of the hillside. The river sounded a few times, and a few streams of bright red blood flowed. Then a wave came and there was no trace, as if nothing had ever happened here.
Sijiu was ashamed of not being able to rescue Shanbo today: "Xiao Langjun, it's all Sijiu who is incompetent and can't protect Mrs. and you." ”
Shanbo patted Sijiu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't blame yourself. Don't you like slingshots, slingshots can still hurt people, practice it well, and whoever dares to bully us in the future will blind his eyes. ”
Shanbo didn't expect that his words would have a significant impact on Sijiu. Since then, Sijiu began to practice the slingshot hard, and in less than a year, he became a marksman. He has been by Shanbo's side all his life, and when he encounters the enemy, he has never missed, and has saved Shanbo's life several times.
If it weren't for the weakness of not being able to eat, things would not be so dangerous today. Thinking about the situation at that time, Shanbo was afraid for a while.
No, the problem of eating must be solved first, which is a top priority.
Liang Shanbo took out twenty taels of silver and secretly handed it to Sijiu, asking him to go to Zhujiazhuang to report to Zhu Yingtai first, and then go to Shangyu County to buy some things.
Zhu Quan and Zhu Qiang are both the leaders of the family, and they have a lot of money, and the money was collected from them by Shanbo.
It wasn't until it was so dark that he couldn't see anyone, and Sijiu came back with a hemp bag on his back, so tired that he was snorting.
Liang Shanbo first asked about the situation of going to Zhujiazhuang. Sijiu said that with the help of the janitor Lao Zhou, he successfully met the little lady from Yingtai and reported her safety.
However, the little lady is very sad now, because Zhu Gongyuan is engaged to the Ma family despite her strong opposition.
The wedding date was originally set for two years later, but for some reason it was changed to half a year. In order not to let Yingtai find a short-sighted, Zhu Gongyuan sent six maids to follow him inseparably, and he was not allowed to go out of the embroidery building.
Liang Shanbo was very worried about Zhu Yingtai, but he couldn't think of any good way for the time being. If you want to get her out of the cage as soon as possible, you must speed up your development and continue to grow your strength.
But now, it has become a problem for him to even have enough to eat.
The two men closed the door and hid in the kitchen to check what they had bought.
The first item is a small crossbow, one and a half feet long, the production process is simple and crude, it cannot be fired in bursts, and the effective range is ten meters. The advantage is that it is relatively small, easy to carry, and can have a surprise effect when facing the enemy. Liang Shanbo liked to use crossbows very much in his previous life, and he had a very powerful crossbow arrow, called "Ruying". It's a pity that I didn't bring it with me when I crossed.
The second thing turned out to be a small stone mill. This is what Liang Shanbo needs most now. The stone mill was originally used to grind sesame oil, but after the two of them transformed it, they can now grind soybean oil.
There were ready-made soybeans in the kitchen, and two people put the soybeans into the stone grinding trough and turned the stone mill
After a while, crystal clear soybean oil flowed out from the oil outlet below.
Shanbo asked Sijiu to watch carefully, and he wanted to teach him how to stir-fry. Heat the pan first, then pour the oil, when there is smoke, put salt, green onions, ginger and garlic, then put the chopped vegetables, and stir-fry over high heat. When it's cooked, you can put it out and eat it.
Although the clay pot is not as good as the iron pot, the two people still stir-fry four dishes. After eating and drinking, the two of them lay on Sijiu's bed and burped, feeling that there was nothing more delicious in the world.
Shanbo also taught Sijiu to stir tea. Roasting tea can make the tea leaves no longer ferment, and it can reduce the water in the tea leaves. The taste of ripe tea is not as bitter as raw tea, so there is no need to add onions, ginger and garlic to taste when drinking. Moreover, the ripe tea tastes fragrant and delicious, and compared with the raw tea with green onions, ginger and garlic, it is simply heaven and earth.
Shanbo also instructed Sijiu to filter the water with fine gauze in the future, saying that there were countless small insects in it. The water must be boiled seven times to kill all the small insects, otherwise it will kill people.
There are small insects in the water, but Xiao Langjun said that he didn't believe it if there were countless ones. Countless little bugs, how can I not see them? In Xiao Langjun's words, isn't this fooling people?
