Chapter 12: The Female Catcher and the Thief
Leaving Zhang Ji's blacksmith shop, Xie Ao wrote a letter to Wang Zicong, hoping that it could help deal with the iron ore matter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the iron pot matter was dealt with, Xie Ao could see the fragrant braised pork ribs and vinegared carp. The mood is particularly beautiful, since I came to Wujiang County, I haven't had a good time shopping, and it is rare to relax and relax.
A vacant lot on the front street was full of people, and the scene was extremely hot, as if they were watching juggling. Chinese have loved to join in the fun since ancient times, and Xie Ao is no exception. He walked into the crowd and saw a big man with a bamboo pole on his head, and a woman standing on the bamboo pole, the woman's toes were on the bamboo pole, and her two hands were holding a porcelain plate in a circle.
The people around the open space kept clapping vigorously, and the scene was not lively. In the center stood a woman in the best spot. This woman has a slender figure, a good face, her hair is gently pulled up, and she is wearing a bearded dress, but she looks a little weird. said that she looked like a man and was a little charming, and said that she looked like a woman but was a little less delicate.
In ancient Chinese feudal society, women were imprisoned by feudal etiquette. They are required to smile without showing their teeth, stand against the door, walk without showing their faces, and have strict rules on dress. But the women of the Tang Dynasty were different, they had greater freedom. Influenced by the northern nomads, they also often wore Hu clothes and disguised themselves as men. This is closely related to the relative improvement of the status of women in the Tang Dynasty. Women are active in social activities, in the political arena, and in the private market. The dress of the woman in front of me is the best illustration.
Near the woman in Hufu, there was a lewd uncle, his eyes were squinting left and right, and his mouth was still drooling, I don't know if he was looking at the woman on the top of the bamboo pole? Or the woman on the right?
I saw that the woman on the bamboo pole came to a posture of "dragonfly water", which won the applause of everyone in the audience. Maybe because there were too many people, Xie Ao accidentally photographed something very elastic, as if something was wrong, he quickly retracted his hand. only heard the sound of "pop", and the drooling lewd uncle's face was swollen in half of it.
"Stinky rascal, who let you touch my ass?" At this moment, the eyes of the woman in the bearded clothes are like a sword piercing the heart, and there is no grass everywhere she goes.
Looking at this scene, Xie Ao couldn't help laughing out loud next to him. He thought to himself, fortunately, he reacted sensitively, otherwise the slap just now would have hit his face, and this woman was simply a "tigress" to be provoked. The obscene uncle can only admit that he is unlucky.
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Say what about you? The one in purple. The woman in the hufu pointed at Xie Ao and said.
"You control the heavens and the earth, can you still care if I laugh or not? You're not my lady, what do you care about so much? Xie Ao looked at the innocent eyes of the obscene uncle and couldn't help laughing again.
"Laugh again, believe it or not, I'll cut your tongue out?" The woman in Hufu opened her eyes angrily, as if she was going to eat Xie Ao.
"You'd better mind your own business, look at your purse!"
The woman in the beard touched her waist and found that the money bag was indeed missing, he looked behind Xie Ao, and there was a sneaky person, so she chased after her.
It's rare to watch a farce, Xie Ao is in a good mood. However, the next second he couldn't laugh. What is called happiness and sorrow, this is called happiness and sorrow, Xie Ao's money bag was also touched by others, and he disappeared silently.
"Nima, who did this? Who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard? Xie Ao scolded.
Xie Ao looked at the spicy woman in Hufu, who had already chased out at this moment. Xie Ao also chased after her back.
On the spacious street, a thief was running in front, a woman in a beard was desperately chasing behind, and then Xie Ao was behind. Three points and one line, two by two about 100 meters apart. The street suddenly became full of chickens and dogs, and all kinds of vegetable leaves and baskets were all over the ground. Xie Ao was chasing behind, he didn't expect that this woman in Hufu was so well hidden, she could run so fast, it was really unusual.
Xie Ao estimated the thief's escape route and prepared to take a shortcut to intercept it. He ran to the other end of the alley, only to be waiting for the woman in the bearded clothes.
Xie Ao opened his mouth and asked, "What about the thief?" Where did the thief go? ”
The woman in the bearded suit bent over, panted and said, "I don't know, I was still in front just now, why did I disappear in the blink of an eye." Damn thieves! Don't let me see it again, or I'll beat me up once I see it. ”
The two intercepted back and forth, but still let the thief escape, Xie Ao was unwilling and helpless. Just as they were about to go back, the peak turned around.
Through a narrow passage, Xie Ao saw a group of big men waving their fists, what were they doing? When Xie Ao approached, a rough voice came.
"Stinky food, stealing things dare to steal to Lao Tzu's territory, I think you are tired of being crooked, and you don't obediently hand over the money bag to me?"
At this time, Xie Ao saw a young man about fifteen years old curled up in the corner, with just two money bags in his hand, could it be that he stole my money? The thief clutched the two money bags tightly in his hands, and because he was so hard that his nails had pierced into his palms, blood had oozed out. Looking at his face, his nose was blue and swollen everywhere, and blood was still flowing down his nostrils. Xie Ao thought in his heart, this thief is asking for money and not dying.
Seeing that those big men were preparing for a new round of actions, Xie Ao jumped out.
"Stop y'all"
I saw that one of the big men with a meaty face stopped, and he really gave face. He walked up to Xie Ao and said, "Boy, put the blindfold on the spot, it's not your turn to make a big deal in my territory, this matter has nothing to do with you, get out of my eyes quickly." ”
"He stole my purse, and you say it's okay with me? I'll take care of this matter today, what do you say! ”
The woman in Hu Yi also responded, "He also stole my money bag, and I will also take care of this matter today." Do you know who my dad is? My father is the county lieutenant of Wujiang County, so I'm afraid! ”
I saw the man with a meaty face laughing and laughing, "Haha~~ I'm so scared." It seems that you are toasting and not drinking, brothers, give it to me. ”
So a scuffle began, Xie Ao flashed left and right, and knocked over several people, thanks to learning Jeet Kune Do since he was a child, otherwise he would be crooked at this moment. Xie Ao waved his fists while looking at the woman in beard from time to time, and he found that this woman was not only fast, but also not bad at fists and feet.
Before he could rush to appreciate the kung fu of the woman in Hu, Xie Ao found that behind the woman in Huyi, the man with a meaty face pulled out a knife and stabbed the woman in Huyi behind. If he is stabbed, he will be crippled if he does not die. At the critical moment, Xie Ao rushed forward with a meteor arrow, and used the handle of the steel knife he carried with him to block the knife of the "horizontal meat man".
Although Xie Ao was extremely careful, the man's knife was too weird, and Xie Ao's arm was still stabbed, leaving a bright red cut on his arm.
The woman in the bearded suit turned to look at Xie Ao, "Thank you just now, seeing that you are polite and polite in appearance, you are actually quite capable of fighting!" ”
At first, Xie Ao didn't pay much attention to it, and when he saw that his arm was bleeding, he was angry. He let it be as if he had changed into a person, and turned on the rage mode. There was a lot of uproar, and a large number of people fell around. Xie Ao opened the big move, and a wave of annihilation came.
The man with a meaty face, when he saw the situation, decisively fled with his brother. A man with a lame leg yelled, "Boss, what about me? Why are you so unrighteous! ”
The woman in Hu Yi came to Xie Ao's side and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"A little injury, nothing?" Xie Ao looked around and said, "What about the little thief?" Where did it go? ”
"I guess I escaped in the scuffle just now!"
"He's clever enough! Let him run again. ”
Then the lame man said, "I know where the thief lives, and I have seen him, but you must promise to let me go, and I will tell you." ”
"Okay, where do you say his family lives?"
"His family lives in the north of the city, which is relatively dilapidated, and is inhabited by some poor farmers or outsiders."
Xie Ao and the woman in Hu Yi came to the north of the city, which was really a bit desolate. They found the thief outside a thatched hut, and the thief saw them. But the strange thing is that the thief didn't run away at this time, Xie Ao and they rushed over and were about to catch the thief, when there was a coughing sound from the hut.
"Three Treasures, who's out there?"
"A-Niang, don't get in the way, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and your body will get better after taking medicine." The thief said.
Xie Ao looked inside, and a sick woman was lying at the head of the bed, her face was pale, and she didn't seem to be sick. Xie Ao glanced at the medicine jar next to him again, and understood everything.
"Three treasures, don't invite guests into the house to sit."
Xie Ao and the woman in Hu Yi walked into the hut, and the woman said weakly, "Let you see and laugh, there is nothing to entertain at home." My hometown was flooded, and I only came to Wujiang County last year. Sanbao's father died in the flood, and we orphans and widows came to this Wujiang River. I am a woman's family, and Sanbao is not a Ding man, so the government did not grant us land. On weekdays, I can still weave cloth for some money, but this illness has dragged down the three treasures again, and the family is supported by the three treasures. ”
"Auntie, don't say that, this is what I should do."
At this time, the woman in Huyi fell into contemplation, she knew that the Tang Dynasty implemented the uniform field system, although from the point of view of the object of land granting, ordinary women do not grant land, but widows and concubines receive 30 acres of land, if these people are the head of the household, each person receives 20 acres of Yongye field, and 30 acres of land. Men only start to grant fields to middle-aged men and Ding men who are over 18 years old, so the Three Treasures are not granted.
According to the uniform land system, although this woman is a woman, she is a widow, and she is the head of the household, so why didn't she get a share of the land? There must be something strange about this. The woman in Hu Yi thought in her heart that she must ask her father for clarification when she turned around.
Xie Ao patted Sanbao on the shoulder and pulled him out of the hut. Xie Ao took out another money bag from his robe, he took the money bag to Sanbao and said, "For the sake of your filial piety, we will not pursue this matter, I just saw your mother, she is not lightly ill, you take the money and hurry up for her to find the best famous doctor in the county." If you don't have enough money, come to Xie Mansion to find me, I only brought so much when I went out today. ”
Because most of the clothes in the Tang Dynasty did not have pockets, Xie Ao specially asked Xiaoqian to sew one for him, so another money bag came out, and the money he brought today was relatively large, which was the money he used to buy an iron pot, but the shopkeeper Huang did not receive a penny.
Looking at the heavy money bag in his hand, Sambo didn't say anything, he kept everything in his heart.
Before leaving, Xie Ao said to Sanbao, "Don't steal anything in the future, when your aunt recovers, if you can't find a job, you can come to Xie Mansion to find me." ”
Sanbao nodded vigorously, looking at the back of Xie Ao and the woman in the distance, the corners of his eyes moistened......
