For Gou Tu and his mother, life in Yan was very different from that after coming to Zhao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

His family has been from Jicheng for generations, his father died early, he lived by inheriting the sharp knife of the slaughtering dog, and became the youngest butcher in Xishi. Because he was especially good at slaughtering dogs, after a few years, the neighbors called him dog slaughter.

"The princes don't kill cattle for no reason, the doctors don't kill sheep for no reason, the scholars don't kill dogs and pigs for no reason, and the people don't eat treasures for no reason." This dog and pig thing is mainly supplied to scholars and wealthy merchants, not ordinary people, and they are not allowed to eat meat several times a year. Therefore, most of the people who can come to the dog butcher shop to see him untie the dog are some wealthy people's housekeepers, doormen, and housewives, and they appreciate the knife work of the dog butcher, as if it has become a pastime for their boring life.

Dog slaughterers usually get up before dawn to sharpen their knives, buy live dogs from dog dealers, and then sit in the morning light and slowly drink a glass of spirits, then roll up their sleeves, hold a sharp knife in one hand, put down the vicious dogs that refuse to be killed and rush to the street barking, and then dismantle them in eight pieces.

Although the dog is small and the bones are easy to cut, he can't deduce the legendary Ku Ding to solve the cow's miraculous skills, but the flying knives and axes on the chopping board still make the people who come to sell meat stunned, and at the end he praised him: "Good knife skills!" And Dog Tu just wiped the blood and greasy on his hands and smiled innocently.

There is a saying in Yan State: Fu sheep winter dog, the best way to eat sheep in summer, the most suitable to eat dogs in winter, dog heads and legs and even dog whips are all sought-after good things. As for the quality of the meat, insiders can see at a glance that the fresh meat is bright red, shiny and well-hydrated, and the spoiled dog meat is black, purple, and dry in flesh. There are blood clots, lumps and other foreign bodies hidden in the muscles of sick dogs. In a dog that has been poisoned, the blood between the muscles does not coagulate......

Dog slaughter is the duty of people, the meat sold is just slaughtered the day before, and there is never a shortage of catties or two, so his shop is always overcrowded, a few years later, although he is not rich, but he and his old mother have no worries about food and clothing, and can also save money to marry a wife.

He did not attract the jealousy of his peers, because Dog Tu was generous, and he had to take care of his mother every day to close the stall very early, leaving opportunities for other butcher shops, and he also often used excess meat and bones to help his neighbors, and won a good reputation of "chivalry". The nearby rangers also invited him to join the gang, but after being refused, they didn't dare to force it, and still treated him respectfully. On weekdays, Dog Tu walks on the street, whether it is a merchant who opens a stall or a hawker who walks the streets, he greets him affectionately, and everyone really knows it.

He relied on his ability to settle down in this city, and after ten years, Dog Tu never thought that one day the sharp knife in his hand would be used to kill people......

In this winter when he should have done business well, he got into a murder, and in a fit of anger he killed the tyrannical and domineering heroes who oppressed the neighborhood, so that he was convicted by the government and exiled to Liaodong, where the Yan people also heard of it, and was almost strangled to death by a malicious servant halfway through.

Unexpectedly, he had already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, but was rescued by a group of masked people, led by a big man with a Zhao accent, claiming to be Chang'an Jun's doorman Lu Goujian, Chang'an Jun's righteous act of dog slaughter, so they let them come to rescue him, and pretended to be a businessman, put him in a wooden barrel, and transported him back to the vicinity of the capital.

What surprised Gou Tu even more was that Chang Anjun also saved his mother! That night, the mother and son escaped death, and they inevitably hugged their heads and cried.

"Villain Yan City Dog Tu, thank you Chang'an Jun for saving his mother!"

The big man gently raised his hand, but for them, the little people, it was like being amnestied, and the dog slaughtered grateful, and he looked at it three times, saying that he could not repay Chang'an Jun!

Although Chang'an Jun is young and noble, he does not have the slightest arrogance, he kindly helped Goutu up, praised him as a good man of "righteousness and thin clouds", said that Goutu himself was a little ashamed, and then asked him about his future plans.

"When I went out of the city, the strong man had become a wanted criminal in Yan State, and he was roped by Si Kou all over the city, and the notice of pursuit was probably going to be hung in Liaodong and Dukang in a few days.

Dog Tu's heart was moved, but he still refused: "The villain is already a sinner, how dare he affect Chang'anjun again?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Goujian and the others laughed, in their eyes, the laws of Yan Kingdom and the wanted of the government were nothing at all, how could their sons care about those things?

Mingyue also smiled: "I escorted Yanhou back to Handan and Guining, and I will never dare to stop the passes along the way!" The strong man can rest assured that he can recuperate his injuries here, and your mother will also arrange it in the carriage so that the maid can take care of it. ”

In this way, Dog Tu and his mother were loaded in the carriage, all the way to the Zhao Kingdom, after entering the Zhao Realm, he was already able to get off the car and walk around openly, looking back at the Yan Realm where the chestnut trees and jujube trees pulled out the buds, a little stunned.

He thought that he would live in Jicheng all his life, marry a wife who is not beautiful but must be virtuous, be filial to his mother, and then have children and continue to live in Yan City. Perhaps they can use the money saved by slaughtering dogs to find other good livelihoods for them, although those dogs are animals, but they are also a life, and his mother is often nagging, killing too many lives, and harming the well-being of children and grandchildren......

Gou Tu never expected that in just half a month, his life had undergone drastic changes, his past stable life was gone, he became a fugitive, and he left his hometown with a foreign son, he had a vague premonition that Jicheng would probably never go back.

"What's next? Continuing to slaughter dogs in Handan? Chang'anjun's great kindness, how to repay it? ”

The big man has the big man's family and country thinking, the little man also has the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the little man, the dog Tu is hesitating, but that night was called by Lu Goujian to drink, after returning to the territory of Zhao State, Chang'an Jun took Zhao Kuo, and went to the Zhao army camp to meet Ma Fujun, and they were guards, and they were given a vacation by Chang'an Jun, so they could relax a little.

Although the winter has passed, the weather is warm and cold, but there is nothing good in the military market in the border Xiaoyi, everyone can only sit in the wine shop, casually ask for some light spring wine, eat and drink some meat that is very expensive, while drinking, the rangers also complained that these wines are far worse than the soju in the prince's mansion, and after returning to Handan, they can beg the old family in the mansion again, and give them a little more.

Everyone is talking in the unfamiliar Zhao dialect, and the dog Tu, a native of the Yan country, can't interject, so he can only drink silently, fortunately, he is bold, but whenever someone toasts to him, he must drink it all, and then respectfully return a lamp, which has won the love of everyone, after all, this group of Handan rangers like chivalrous acts, and the previous actions of the dog slaughter can already be called "strange people".

After three rounds of drinking, everyone became a lot closer to each other, and they had already begun to hook their shoulders and back, and Lu Goujian asked about Goutu's future plans.

Gou Tu said that he didn't know anything about Zhao Guo, and he didn't know whether he should regain his old business, anyway, he wanted to find a livelihood that could support his old mother. The eldest husband was born in troubled times, when he brought a three-foot sword, assisted the master, and made immortal achievements, he must let the world look sideways, and leave a pen in the history books, how can he throw his whole life in the market, and the sheep and dogs are greasy? “

He slapped Dog Tu's shoulder: "In this way, you might as well be Chang'anjun's doorman!" ”
