Chapter 33: Flying eaves, walking on wall drums, fleas beating mandarin ducks, and Taigong

Let's say that Sanniang and Shi Xiu tied up their burdens, Sanniang changed into an ordinary dress with coarse cloth and hairpins, Shi Xiu dressed as a woodcutter, and the two pretended to be a couple and hooked out of the city. When they arrived at the foot of Cuiping Mountain, the sky was already dark, and the two discussed, so they went up to the mountain to find a place to settle down and rest for a night.

When they arrived at Decuiping Mountain, the two rested in a forest. In the middle of the night, Sanniang's ears were tipped, and she heard a sound not far away, and Sanniang woke up Shi Xiu and said, "But I can hear the human voice." Shi Xiu said: "Let's go and take a look." The two turned out of the forest, and saw that at the end of the forest, there were several ancient tombs, and in the moonlight, a thin man was digging graves and robbing graves there.

The man was also very obedient, and when he heard Shi Xiu behind him, he stepped on a branch and made a sound, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Who is it?" Sanniang and Shi Xiu walked out, Sanniang looked at the man and smiled: "You man, you are here in the middle of the night to dig people's ancient tombs, and you are not afraid of unjust souls asking for your life?" ”

The man was very delicate, only glanced at Sanniang and Shi Xiu a few times, and said secretly in his heart: "These two men, a man and a woman, are here late at night, they must not be good men and women, so they must not be offended." Immediately got up and sang a song: "This hero, the lady listened, the villain's surname, the name moved, Zuguan is a Gaotang Prefecture clan, living here, only in one place to do some eaves and walls, jumping fences to cheat horses, people call the villain to be a drum flea." The villain once suffered a lawsuit in Jizhou Mansion, thanks to the two hospitals where he was imprisoned, and Brother Yang Xiong, a well-known sick man in the rivers and lakes, saved the villain. The villain has not had many roads recently, so he digs some ancient tombs in this mountain and looks for two things. Don't want to bump into the two, don't blame. ”

Shi Xiu heard that it was Yang Xiong who rescued him, so he said: "It turns out that you are my brother's acquaintance, so you are not a villain." Sanniang smiled, this Shi Xiu is also honest, what people say will be believed, at this time the move is even more dexterous, first move Yang Xiong out to be a backer, when the next few steps forward, how was the migration at that time? I saw: soft bones and strong body. The eyebrows are thick and the eyes are fresh. Described as a strange race, walking like a flying fairy. The night silence passes through the wall, and hangs deeper around the house. Stealing camp masters, drumming fleas and changing times.

Sanniang and Shi Xiu stepped forward and exchanged their names. Shi Qian was shocked when he heard it, so he bowed down and said: "I have heard the two big names for a long time, and now the rivers and lakes are spreading, and it is said that the official army wants to fight Hujiazhuang, and I don't want to meet the famous three ladies in the rivers and lakes here today." What a blessing. ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "Seeing that Brother Shiqian is capable, would you like to be a leader with me?" But if you are afraid of being suppressed by the official army and dare not go, you will just do it. Shi Qian said: "Wealth and danger are sought, the three ladies are famous all over the rivers and lakes, and many heroes help each other, I think the officials and soldiers will not be able to please them, why don't you dare to go?" After that, he bowed down again and said: "The villain has moved over time, and he is willing to follow the lady." ”

Sanniang was overjoyed when she heard this, and moved when she helped her up. The three of them saluted again, and sat down by the ancient tomb. Sanniang took some dry food and wine, and the three of them ate it once, and Sanniang talked about burning the granary of Jizhou's officials and soldiers, and Shi Qian was even more respectful.

After talking in the middle of the night, he rested hastily in the forest, and after the sky was bright, Sanniang, Shixiu, and Shi Qian waited outside the ancient tomb. When I was young, I saw Yang Xiong, Pan Qiaoyun, and the maid Ying'er leading Pan Gong up the mountain.

Sanniang and the other three came out to meet each other, and at this time, Yang Xiong and Pan Qiaoyun told Pan Gong what happened. Pan Gong listened. After being silent for a long time, Shi Xiu was anxious, so he said loudly: "Uncle, it's all here." How can I go back? But if you are left alone, sooner or later you will be involved in a lawsuit! ”

Pan Gong saw that Shi Xiu was vicious, and his daughter followed Yang Xiong again, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, the matter has come to this, and I will go with you." When they heard this, they were overjoyed. Then Yang Xiong carried Pan Qiaoyun on his back, and Shi Qian carried Ying'er on his back, and went down Cuiping Mountain together.

At the foot of Cuiping Mountain, on the way to Hujiazhuang, Zheng Ying led a few people to catch a carriage and wait there. At that moment, Pan Qiaoyun, Ying'er, and Pan Gong took the carriage, and Sanniang, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian, Zheng Ying and others guarded and came to Wangjiazhuang together.

Within a day, he came to Hujiazhuang, and saw the gate of the village from a distance, and Song Yulian was alone there looking at it. Sanniang was distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly greeted her and said, "Why are you waiting here again?" Yulian said with a red face: "I'm only worried about officials, so I wait here every day." Sanniang hugged her gently and said, "I told you a long time ago, you don't have to work so hard, I have a lot of ability, and the government can't do anything about me." Yulian said with a smile: "The official is a poor mouth." ”

Seeing Sanniang and others coming back, Zhuang Shang Hucheng, Mu Hong, Li Jun and other heroes came out to catch them, put down the wind wine, and celebrated. During the banquet, when Sanniang burned the grain and grass of Jizhou officials and soldiers, they were all overjoyed.

After a night of celebration, they arranged a night's rest. Sanniang missed Yulian in her heart, so she naturally invited Yulian to come, and the two girls didn't want to see each other for a long time, so naturally they were lingering.

The next morning, after Sanniang practiced martial arts, she was called to the house by Mrs. Hu to talk, and after sitting down, Mrs. Hu said: "My son, that little lady of Yulian, since you went to Jizhou, I have been watching you come back at the gate of the village in the morning and evening, and it seems that I am really concerned about you." ”

Sanniang smiled: "Yulian is a good woman, thank me for her kindness, and treat me like this." Hu Taigong coughed lightly and said, "I hope it's just like this." Then he said, "My son is now in his early twenties, that is, he is not young, and he must consider marriage." Previously, Zhu Biao proposed, his intentions were insincere, and he was suspected of bullying, don't say that my son doesn't like it, and I won't marry my daughter to him. But at this moment, I only see that there are many heroes in this village, the Mu Taigong's Lang, the Li Family's Lang, are all good candidates, don't I have the right person? ”

Sanniang was dumbfounded, and secretly thought to herself: "I am twenty-one years old here, and in this year, I am an older unmarried daughter, and my father must be anxious, but I didn't expect that I would also be urged to marry one day." At that moment, Sanniang grimaced, and only stepped forward to hug the Taigong's arm and said coquettishly: "Father, the child doesn't want to get married, he just wants to accompany his father to the end of his life." ”

Hu Taigong said gently: "Men should get married, women should get married, heaven is clear, and heaven dictates, how can you not marry someone for the rest of your life?" I must not be petty. There are only two of us here, you don't need to be ashamed, but if there is any Langjun who can see it, just talk to your father. Just look at Namu Dalang is very heroic, his family is also in the village, sooner or later he said that this family business is coming, but Yemen is right. ”

Sanniang hurriedly said: "Father, the child has been ordered by Luo Zhenren since he was a child, and he is the life of the Tiansha Lone Star, where can he marry?" Even if you get married, you will also harm the lives of others. ”

Hu Taigong said: "You have to make up words, Luo Zhenren's words of criticism, I remember clearly, your star life will be fine until you are eighteen years old, Hugh prevaricates with this word." He glared at Sanniang and said: "Originally, there were some things that my father didn't want to say, but since you brought that Yulian to the village, your two women have been too close all day long." These **** heard some servants and maids all say in secret, and say that you two have done such a fake phoenix thing, but that's the case?! ”

Hu Taigong's tone gradually became stern, Sanniang was startled, she had never seen her father talk to herself in such a tone, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Father is relieved, it is all those servants and maids who chew their tongues, don't listen to it." ”

Hu Taigong said sharply: "Okay, at this age, you find a wishful husband to come and settle the marriage, and I will stop talking, otherwise I will drive Yulian's demon girl who is bad for my son's heart out of the village!" ”

Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, but then her eyes rolled and said: "Father, you don't need to worry about my marriage, I have already intended someone, and I will come to the door sooner or later." ”

When Hu Taigong heard this, he relaxed slightly, and only asked, "What is my son's surname?" Who's the people? Sanniang snorted, a little unable to make it up, so she could only say: "Father is relieved, sooner or later he will come to the village, here I will play a dumb riddle with you first." ”

Hu Taigong said: "Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, your little caution can't escape from the eyes of your father, and Hugh coaxes me with words." Yulian, I will first ask your sister-in-law Shi to take care of her, and you can not see her face-to-face, and then talk about it when your marriage is over. ”

Sanniang said in a hurry: "Father, why are you so unreasonable?" Hu Taigong snorted and said: "Raising you as a boy since you were a child is forced to be helpless, and it is also a regret for my father's life." Now that you have grown up, you must not make mistakes in marriage, since ancient times, yin and yang match, the right way, what kind of absurd things like fake phoenixes, my Hu family must not come out! If you really want to do such a ugly thing, you will either deny me as a father, or you will wait for me to die! Then he took the pear cane and went angrily.

Sanniang wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly turned back to her room to see, sure enough, Yulian had disappeared, and hurriedly went to her sister-in-law Shi to see. When I arrived at my sister-in-law's house, I couldn't find anyone left and right, and when Sanniang was anxious, Shi happened to return to the house.

Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Shi's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, where did you hide Yulian?" Shi Shi was like being stung by a bee, hurriedly broke away from Sanniang's hand, took a step back, and said: "Sanniang, don't panic, Yulian I am placed in a good place, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but my parents told me, I can't say it to you." ”

Sanniang's eyes widened, and she said, "Sister-in-law, why are you afraid of me like a snake and scorpion?" Shi Shi was slightly embarrassed and said: "Sanniang, my sister-in-law has also heard about you and Yulian here, so she is a little uncomfortable." Sanniang, listen to the advice of your sister-in-law, don't be confused in such matters. The two women are compatible, not in line with the way of heaven, not in accordance with etiquette, and upside down. When my father first heard about this, he was very angry, so he must not cause chaos in the family because of this incident. ”

Sanniang was silent for a long time, and then said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have my own weight, and I will definitely not insult the lintel, let alone cause changes in the family." Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sanniang, you are not young, at your age, I have been married to your brother for many years." You should also set your temperament and find a husband well, as women, no matter how high our ability is, we will eventually marry and have children, so this is the right way. ”

Sanniang replied casually in a sullen manner, then said goodbye and turned out of the house, but secretly thought to herself: "If you planned badly, you shouldn't have brought Yulian home, if you knew this, you should have arranged to send Yulian back to Shaohua Mountain or find a secluded house to live there." But then he thought again: "Even if I send it back to Shaohua Mountain, I can't let my father not urge me to get married, I have to think of a foolproof way to cut off my father's thoughts, otherwise if I really want to commit to a man, it is better to die headlong!" ”
