Chapter 115: Please Be a Mr. (I)
Yang Yaozong, Liao Qiniang and Han Xiong were already sweating profusely and soaking wet when they climbed to the top of the mountain with heavy bags on their backs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info turned back to take a bird's-eye view of the mountain, only to see the mountain abrupt, majestic and magnificent, spring waterfalls, cypress pine lush. Although the scenery is spectacular, it is a feeling of joy and excitement that makes Yang Yaozong not feel a trace of joy. Instead, it made him frown and annoyed. What he was thinking about now was how to escape from the cottage, but from a distance, the mountain road below the cottage was rugged and densely forested, and the mechanisms arranged on the road were dangerous, so it was even more difficult to escape successfully.
After a short rest in the small village on the top of the mountain, Yang Yaozong and Han Xiong were ushered into a bathroom by a woman, where two buckets of hot water and clean clothes were prepared for them to bathe and change their clothes. The changed clothes were taken by the woman to be washed.
With Yang Yaozong's performance along the way, Han Xiong now looks at Yang Yaozong, a handsome scholar, quite pleasing to the eye. The two were chatting while taking a bath at this time, and Han Xiong also answered openly and honestly to the things that Yang Yaozong asked that were not secrets.
Yang Yaozong learned from Han Xiong that Liao Qiniang's father was Liao Dingyuan, and it turned out that he was a dart game. Originally, there were two big dart games in Jining Fuzhong, one was called Dingyuan Dart Bureau and the other was called Xinglong Dart Bureau. At that time, the strongest and most famous was the Dingyuan dart game opened by Liao Dingyuan. But all the escort that the Dingyuan Dart Bureau is responsible for, if you encounter bandits or robberies along the way, as long as you see the dart flag of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, you generally only need to report the name or give a little bit of borrowing money, and you can pass safely.
The change in the fate of the Liao family began when the prefect of Jining Prefecture personally approached the Dingyuan Dart Bureau to escort the darts, and the prefect of Jining Prefecture at that time handed over the silver escort to Tianjing City to Liao Dingyuan to do. Merchants can do things for the government, regardless of whether they make money or not, as long as they can get a relationship with the big officials in the government, it is the biggest benefit to earn. Especially for Liao Dingyuan, who opened a dart bureau, being able to establish a relationship with the prefect of Jining Prefecture at that time was of great benefit to his future business. Although this dart is dangerous, since it is a bowl of rice with darts, you can't be afraid of danger, not to mention that the government has specially sent officers and soldiers to protect this dart. So Liao Dingyuan happily undertook this trip.
But no one could have predicted that there was a group of robbers who did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky suddenly appeared, not only robbed the dart car, but also killed all the officers and soldiers, and Liao Dingyuan also lost several capable dart masters. Liao Dingyuan knew that the robbery of the official bank and the killing of officers and soldiers caused a major trouble. So he hurriedly took the rest of his men back to Jining Mansion to report the case. Who knows, the prefect of Jining Prefecture at that time did not listen to Liao Dingyuan's explanation at all, so he had already designed the Dingyuan Dart Bureau to design the crime of embezzling the money of the Mo officials' family and killing the officers and soldiers, and arrested all the cadres of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, and put them in prison to prepare for the beheading after the autumn.
Liao Dingyuan can open the dart bureau in Jining Mansion, in addition to having a relatively hard relationship on HEI Road, there are also a few very good brothers in the yamen. Among them, there was a brother in the yamen named Chen Guanghan, who heard that Liao Dingyuan's imprisonment was jointly designed and framed by the prefect of Jining Prefecture and the head of the Xinglong Dart Bureau at that time. and also told Liao Dingyuan everything he had discovered. The reason is that the business of the Xinglong Dart Bureau has been difficult to do because of the prestige of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau in Jining Mansion, so the family members of the Xinglong Dart Bureau gave a lot of bribes to the prefect of Jining Prefecture at that time, and also promised that all the money from the government obtained from the robbery of the dart was given to the prefect of Jining Prefecture at that time, so the prefect of Jining Prefecture at that time and the head of the Xinglong Dart Bureau joined forces to plan a conspiracy to frame the Dingyuan Dart Bureau.
At that time, all the people in the dart game were imprisoned, and Liao Dingyuan's brother in the yamen could help him find out everything and understand that it was already considered benevolent and righteous, so how could he be embarrassed to beg others to help him sue for justice. Moreover, it has always been the most difficult thing to sue officials with the people, not to mention the two major cases that are equivalent to rebellion involving the corruption of officials' salaries and the killing of officers and soldiers, how can anyone dare to help to avenge grievances, even if someone dares to help redress grievances, who is willing to believe only a few words, and helping to redress grievances will definitely be in danger of life. At that time, the prefect of Jining Prefecture had evidence to determine Liao Dingyuan's crime. That is, when the corpses of the dead officers and soldiers were examined, the swords and arrows found in the officers and soldiers were all weapons used by the Dingyuan Dart Bureau.
But Liao Dingyuan didn't want to die so unjustly after learning the truth, and finally got the key to the prison with the help of Chen Guanghan, and escaped from prison with everyone in the dart game, of course, he inevitably had a fight with the officers and soldiers. At that time, Liao Qiniang was only five years old, and was taken out by Liao Dingyuan, and Liao Qiniang's compatriot sixth brother was taken out by Liao Qiniang's uncle, but he was shot in the spine by a stray arrow, causing his lower body to have no intuition and became a disabled person. And Liao Qiniang's mother and five brothers, as well as a cadre of the dart bureau, all died tragically under the swords and arrows of the officers and soldiers.
Now with Liao Qiniang's father, second uncle, Liao Qiniang's sixth brother and Chen Guanghan, the brother who helped Liao Dingyuan escape from prison, all live on the top of this Baoqinggu Mountain. And Liao Qiniang's father ran out with a few of them in a fit of rage, and killed the two masterminds who planned to frame the whole thing of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, the head of the Xinglong Dart Bureau and the prefect of Jining Mansion at that time, and then fled to this calf with a few people who escaped.
The original mountain bandit boss of this calf and Liao Qiniang's father also had some friendship, and Liao Qiniang's father's martial arts in the picture took them all in. Although Liao Qiniang's father became a bandit, he was unwilling to do the thing of robbing the house and harming the people, so he has been hiding in the cottage to take care of the internal affairs of the cottage, and specially established this place on the top of Baoqinggu Mountain to protect the old and young women and children in the village and the disabled brothers.
Han Xiong is talking about righteous indignation, and when he is particularly angry, he splashes water in the bathtub that he smashes with his fist. Yang Yaozong also felt very indignant in his heart when he heard it, and when Han Xiong talked about Liao Qiniang's father killing the two enemies who designed to frame him, Yang Yaozong shouted excitedly! Han Xiong also thought that Yang Yaozong would express his opinion that it is necessary to report to the official according to the law and cannot be solved by force privately, just like other high-minded readers. Seeing that Yang Yaozong was actually praised loudly, Han Xiong liked people who were happy and hateful, so he felt that Yang Yaozong, a handsome scholar, was more and more pleasing to the eye, and the more he chatted with Yang Yaozong, the more energetic he became.
When Yang Yaozong asked how Liao Qiniang became the big boss, although Han Xiong said a lot, he also told the secret that this is not a secret, because as long as Yang Yaozong made a little inquiry, he could easily understand these things. But Han Xiong still said vaguely, but Yang Yaozong heard it clearly. It turned out that as Liao Qiniang gradually grew up, she changed from a pink, white and immature little girl to a big girl. When Liao Qiniang was eighteen years old, the big boss in the cottage at that time saw Liao Qiniang's handsome and lovely appearance, so he started her idea. So he forced Liao Qiniang to marry him, and Liao Qiniang's father was forced to be helpless, so he could only take Liao Qiniang and some other brothers who were loyal to him to the top of the calf to hide. But the great master would not stop like this, and all the roads leading to the top of the mountain were blocked, and even if the top of the mountain was not easy to climb, the people on the mountain would be trapped to death.
At that time, there were many people living on the mountain, except for the brothers brought up the mountain by Liao Dingyuan, who were all old and young, women and children, and this group of people could not survive at all on the rations planted on the top of the mountain, but no one complained to Liao Qiniang's father. But Liao Qiniang couldn't bear the hunger of the old and young women and children and brothers on the mountain for her, so she went down the mountain alone and became married to the big boss. But on the night of getting married, the big boss died immediately because of the wind when he was in the cave room with Liao Qiniang, and at that time, Liao Qiniang was already famous in the cottage, so Liao Qiniang naturally became the big boss in the village. But Liao Qiniang's father has never gone down to the top of the mountain since that time. Yang Yaozong said in his heart, maybe Liao Qiniang's father felt that he was sorry for Liao Qiniang, so he chose to stay at the top of the mountain all the time.
Yang Yaozong asked again: "Brother Xiong, how did you get up the mountain?" ”
Han Xiong laughed and said: "The brothers on this mountain are all bitter haha, and I am no exception, I was originally a beggar, and Uncle Liao took Qi Niang when I was twelve years old." Oh, in private, I call myself the master, I am five years older than Qi Niang, I think she is my sister, and she also thinks I am my brother. After explaining, Han Xiong continued: "In the winter when I was twelve years old, the Chinese New Year was about to begin, and Uncle Liao took Qi Niang to Taierzhuang to buy things. Qi Niang saw me begging on the street, and I was dying of freezing. He put her fox fur cloak on me. I remember Uncle Liao said to Qi Niang at that time, you can only save him for a while, you can't save him for a lifetime, he may die in a few days. Then Qi Niang said, then take him up the mountain, anyway, I am not afraid of him eating more, but it can save his life. Then Uncle Liao asked me if I would like to go with them. I thought at the time that as long as I could survive, I would be fine, and I listened to Qi Niang tell me what to eat. immediately kowtowed and thanked Uncle Liao and Qi Niang. So I went up the mountain. And at that time, when I went up the mountain and knew that Uncle Liao was a mountain bandit, I didn't think anything about it, I could survive, and maybe I could be a hero in the green forest in the future, and there was nothing bad about it. Ha ha! ”
Yang Yaozong joked: "The big boss must not know that this child who brought up the mountain will be so able to eat, it is estimated that he will have to eat the rations of several people at a meal, but it is too late to regret it." ”
Han Xiong didn't mind Yang Yaozong's joke at all, but smiled and said, "Haha! How do you know I can eat it?
Yang Yaozong said with a smile: "Of course, it depends on Brother Xiong's burly figure and tendon meat. “
Han Xiong laughed heartily and said, "Haha! It's true to say that you are shrewd readers. Just look at my body and flesh, you can see that I can eat. I look at your figure too. It's not like those who can't help but read the wind. It's quite attractive. “
Yang Yaozong hurriedly pretended to be ashamed, covered his hands in front of his chest and said, "My figure is not for you to see Brother Xiong!" “
"Hahaha! Yang Guang, you're really interesting! Han Xiong laughed heartily.
Yang Yaozong asked casually, "Brother Xiong, how old are you this year?" ”
"I'm 30 years old! What about you? I guess you're not even twenty yet. Han Xiong said.
Yang Yaozong said in his heart that Liao Qiniang is twenty-five years old, and she has been the master of this cottage for seven years. Yang Yaozong nodded and smiled, "I am eighteen years old this year. Then he asked, "Is Brother Xiong married?" “
Han Xiong smiled: "I got married early, and the children are both together." The mother-in-law who sent us in just now is my wife. “
Yang Yaozong wanted to continue to ask, but it was Liao Qiniang who coughed twice from outside the door and said, "Come out quickly after washing, lunch is ready." It turned out that Liao Qiniang saw that the two of them hadn't come out in the bathroom for a long time, and they were about to have lunch, so she came over to summon the two. When he got to the bathroom door, he heard Han Xiong tell him how he had entered the mountains. I also heard the jokes made by Yang Yaozong and Han Xiong. But seeing that the two were chatting endlessly, he interrupted the conversation between the two.
Han Xiong got dressed and walked out of the bathroom first, and then Yang Yaozong also walked out.
Han Xiong fell down from above and looked at Yang Yaozong with a smile: "It is said that people rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles." In my opinion, if this person is handsome, even if he is wearing coarse linen clothes, he will look just as good. “
Liao Qiniang looked at Yang Yaozong and saw that he had changed into clean trousers and short clothes. The middle belt was neatly tied, coupled with his healthy complexion and clean and handsome face, although he wore the clothes of a farmer's work, it made people look different and unique.
Yang Yaozong smiled brightly at Liao Qiniang. Liao Qiniang also smiled at Yang Yaozong and nodded, "Let's go and eat." So she turned to lead the way, and when she turned around, she felt her face burn a little and her heart beat a little faster.
Han Xiong did not go to eat with Liao Qiniang with Yang Yaozong, but went back to his own home to eat.
And Yang Yaozong followed Liao Qiniang into a room.
As soon as he entered the room, Yang Yaozong saw that there were already four men sitting around the table, and Liao Qiniang greeted the four people separately and arranged for Yang Yaozong to sit down. Yang Yaozong also knew that the four people sitting in the room were Liao Qiniang's father, Liao Qiniang's second uncle, Liao Qiniang's sixth brother and Chen Guanghan, who saved Liao Dingyuan and several people.
Liao Qiniang did not introduce Yang Yaozong to a few people in the house, and Yang Yaozong saw that Liao Qiniang did not mean to introduce a few people in the house to him. So he just nodded and smiled at a few people in the room, and then sat down to eat. The meal was very quiet, but it didn't make Yang Yaozong feel restrained. After Yang Yaozong finished eating, he said a word to Liao Qiniang, and said goodbye to a few people in the house and went outside alone.
************
In the house where Liao Qiniang's father lives, there is a large vegetable field in front of the house, and several women are watering the vegetables. Yang Yaozong walked over to one of the women and said, "Sister-in-law, where did you get this water?" I see that you don't seem to lack any water at the top of this mountain. ”
The couple saw that the person who was talking to them was a handsome little Langjun, and they liked it a little just by looking at his face, and said with a smile: "What a handsome little Langjun! Look at your face, are you new to the cottage? The people who can come here are all people trusted by Qi Niang, Xiao Langjun has a future! There are two pools on the top of this calf, the blue water and deep pools are perennial, and all the water of the people on the mountain is taken from there. “
After Yang Yaozong listened to this woman's words, his heart was trusted by Liao Qiniang? How is that possible, there is still a future for being a mountain bandit? That's even more unlikely! Unless you pull the flag and rebel, you have to be able to succeed and have a future. And being called by this real sister-in-law and a little Langjun, I always feel that I feel like being molested, but I am a little embarrassed.
Yang Yaozong nodded, looked at the dense greens planted in the field and said, "Sister-in-law, is the greens you planted growing slow and prone to insects?" ”
The women stopped watering their hands, turned their surprised eyes on Yang Yaozong, and hurriedly asked, "How did Xiao Langjun know?" ”
Yang Yaozong said: "If you want this green vegetable to grow big and good, and it is not easy to grow insects, you need to have seedlings every once in a while." ”
Several women asked in unison, "Jian Miao?" ”
Yang Yaozong saw that they didn't seem to understand, so he nodded and spoke in detail for them. (To be continued.) )
