Chapter 8: Go to the cottage to get some money to spend '''''''
The scorching red sun rose in the sky, the warm sunlight dispelled the fog in the valley, and the birds chirped a few times to the rising sun, flew a few laps in the air, and began to look for food. At this time, dozens of crows flew happily to the vicinity of the cottage and crowed. looked at the corpse standing in front of the gate of the village suspiciously, and did not dare to come close. Just screaming happily.
Wu Song, who was asleep on the bed in Wang Hu's house, also slowly opened his eyes, and Wu Song turned sideways to look at the two animals on the ground who were knocked unconscious, and his eyes were still closed. I don't know if I didn't wake up or I didn't wake up after a heavy blow. Wu Song got up and tidied up his clothes and moved his body slightly. I can't help but feel a little emotional, in this world, it has ushered in a new day. I touched my stomach and found that I was still a little hungry, and I couldn't help but think of the only relatives in this world, my brother and sister-in-law. If it was at their house, it would have been a good time to eat. It seems that he has to take care of himself here, and Wu Song, who has been a special soldier, is not afraid of this. When I opened the door to the kitchen, I found some cooked beef in a slightly smaller iron pot, but it was cold. There are also many jars of wine in the next place. Wu Song ate some meat and drank some wine. After a while, I will be full.
Yesterday, I heard from the animal that the cottage also robbed two women. But he should have been saved, and he killed so many robbers, but he didn't want others to know, so he simply covered his face and sent a dozen taels of broken silver by himself. Let them go down the mountain. Wu Song found the treasury where the silver was hidden in the cottage, checked it roughly, took a few copper coins, took twenty taels of silver, divided them into two parts, and wrapped them in cloth. Then he covered his face and went to find the two miserable people.
Entering the room where the woman was being held, there was a person lying on the ground, his clothes were messy, and many places were torn, leaking out of the jade body, Wu Song reached out to help him, and found that he was dead, his body was cold, and he was still a half-old child. Wu Song's heart couldn't help but hurt a little, and now in society, they should go to school, read, and then be coquettish with their parents. I didn't expect to die in such a humiliating way now, and there was a woman not far away, with messy hair. His eyes were cloudy, and he was in a daze. Wu Songdao: Madam, I have already killed those gangsters, this is some silver. Go home. As he spoke, he lifted the woman up. The woman moved her head slightly, and looked at Wu Song. Without moving, Wu Song raised his voice a little and said: "Madam, I have already killed those animals, you can quickly take these silver taels and go home" The woman's eyes moved, and then she began to slowly walk outside. Wu Song sighed involuntarily. The woman walked a few steps, slowly turned around, and bowed to Wu Song. And then I went home.
Wu Song went to find another woman. But he saw the woman, with her hands and feet tied, and a cloth in her mouth, lying on the mat. Wu Song hurriedly stepped forward to take off the scarf, tied the rope, stuffed the wrapped silver into his hand and said, "Girl, I have killed those animals that have done evil, you can take the money and go home."
After hearing Wu Song's words, the woman immediately said: You killed the livestock of this cottage.
Wu Song looked at the girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, her clothes were quite neat, but there were a lot of blood stains stuck to the clothes on her left and right arms. Hearing the girl's words, Wu Song said: Yes, I have already killed them, you take the silver money and go home quickly.
Wu Song said that, and turned to leave. When the girl heard this, she wept and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking her for her kindness. I went home crying.
Wu Song saw the two hard-working people leave, so he returned to the room. tortured the amount of copycat silver coins, and felt that the gap was not big. Only then did they kill two people, find a car, load the money, and burn the corpses and cottages. Drive away. The total amount of silver he received was fifty taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver, and five thousand taels of silver. Now under the unification, the exchange ratio of gold and silver in the novel is 1 gold = 10 silver = 10 guan = 10,000 text (the currency in circulation in the Song Dynasty is copper coins, which is based on guan, and the proportion varies from place to place, and some places are 3 guan to one silver, and some places are always exchanged for one silver, for convenience. Unified below〉
In order to find a reasonable way out for his silver, Wu Song decided to pull these belongings and go to make friends and visit Chai Jinchai's officials. Maybe it can be used in the future (I checked some information and roughly estimated, Chai Jin is Cangzhou, Hebei, Wu Song is Yanggu County, the distance between them is about 300 kilometers, writing novels will no longer be entangled in these specific details press 300 kilometers, in addition to the speed of the carriage, the speed that everyone recognizes is 20 kilometers per hour, and it can run more than 200 kilometers a day. So it was written according to these statements. Audience, don't blame"
Sleeping in the open all the way, coupled with Wu Song's county documents, there was nothing to do, and finally rushed to Chai Jin's village in the evening of the next day. Wu Song stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a small servant opened the door and said: Who, only come to the house at such a time.
Wu Song first rewarded the little guy with a copper coin, and then said: You go and tell the Chai officials, just say that the old man Wu Erlang Wu Song came to disturb him
The little guy was overjoyed when he saw the reward, and immediately went in to report it.
But when he heard a lively sound, a black-faced man rushed over first, it was Song Jiang's "The novel says that Song Jiang lived in Chai Jin's house for half a year, and when Wu Song left, Song Jiang went", and then a handsome descendant also followed, it was Chai Jin.
Wu Song hurriedly got up and knelt down and said: The younger brother has seen the two elder brothers, some time ago, he was irritable with many officials, and recently there are some things, and he has to be irritated with the officials.
Chai Jin and Song Jiang hurriedly helped Wu Song up and said: Brother, don't kill us, hurry up. Saying that, the two of them took Wu Song's hand and were about to go to the house.
Wu Song said: Chai Daguan, I am anxious to arrange a few people to carry a few boxes in the car into the house, and the younger brother has something to talk to the big official.
Chai Jin hurriedly instructed a few Zhuang guests to carry the boxes into the house, and pulled Song Jiang and Wu Song into the house first. After retiring from others, Wu Song said: The younger brother left the big official, went back to find his brother, and killed the tiger. When the head of Yanggu County, because I heard that there was a group of strongmen in the county, all evil, the county ignored it, and the younger brother was reckless, so he killed all the villains. Then Wu Song carefully talked about the evil deeds of those robbers.
Chai Jin and Song Jiang looked at the contents of the box, which were worth 10,000 taels of silver, and were amazed by Wu Song's martial arts. Chai Jindao: Brother Wu Song, since these properties are your gains from the violence, how can I keep them for myself.
Wu Songdao: When the younger brother first arrived in Yanggu, he didn't have much industry, so if he had so much money out of thin air. I'm afraid it's the way to get into trouble, or send it to the officials, and don't shirk the management of people.
After hearing this, Song Jiang smiled and said: Since the Wu Song brothers are good. I think the chief steward should accept it, and when the chief steward writes a letter to Wu Song's brothers, he says that Wu Song helped the big officials repel the bandits who came to plunder, and because of the grace of saving his life, he will give a thousand taels of silver. In this way, the big steward and the Wu Song brothers are a win-win situation.
Chai Jin thought for a while and said: Okay, I'll write a letter to you. After that, the three of them discussed the writing of the letter and stamped it. Handed over to Wu Songdao: Brother Wu can take away all these three boxes of finances tomorrow, so that there will be no more money out of thin air.
Wu Songdao: What did the big official say, I took 3,000 taels of silver. "Golden Fifty has long been put away, so I won't mention it here". The copper coins are left here for the big officials, and if the big officials want to resign, they will look down on the younger brother.
Chai Jin said: In this case, brother but need money and things, but come to find Chai Jin, let's go to eat and drink together.
