Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Female Man
The ancient boat walked very slowly, slowly for three days, and what I saw in front of me was still a silver-white lake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In addition to Wu Sanniang and her sister, there was only Lin Fei on the entire boat. You must know that this is a cargo ship, carrying hundreds of loads of grain, so two weak female streams escort, not to mention in ancient times when bandits were rampant, even in modern times to run long-distance transportation, they are all men's men.
After three days, Lin Fei and Wu Xiaomei Dao were quite familiar. A child's mind is not as heavy as an adult's, and her precautionary heart is even less, she only looks at whether she comes with you. The whole journey is extremely boring, the sky and the river as far as the eye can see are the same hue, at first glance it seems beautiful, but if you look at it every day, it will make people feel a sense of desperation. Of course, Lin Fei felt that it was okay at this time, after all, he had only been gone for a few days.
"You said you came from far away, how far is that place?" Wu Xiaomei asked stupidly.
Lin Fei replied with a smile: "That place is so far away that I can't go back, I can be regarded as a wanderer." ”
"Then you don't have a relative, then you are so pitiful, even more pitiful than me and my eldest sister." Wu Xiaomei looked at Lin Fei sympathetically.
Lin Fei smiled bitterly, Wu Sanniang, who came out of the cabin, looked at him and said, "At most, there are about three days, and we will be able to reach the boundary of Banzhou Division, and when the time comes, you help us unload this ship together, and we will not owe anyone anything." ”
The sack in the cabin, to say the least, is fifty or sixty pounds a bag, which is really a challenge for Lin Fei, who has never carried anything. But it's also right to think about it, and it's natural to be a guy after eating and drinking for so many days in someone else's place. It turned out that Lin Fei wanted to give some money, but the money bag disappeared when he woke up, thinking that it fell when he fell into the water.
Lin Fei hugged his fists and said: "How can you say that you don't owe it, how can the girl's life-saving grace be offset by helping to do some work." It's just that I don't have anything to do now, and I want to thank him, so I can only talk about it. ”
"No, if you help us finish all this work together, we don't owe each other." Wu Sanniang said bluntly.
In fact, Lin Fei hoped in his heart that he could stay, after all, he didn't have a penny on him now, so where could he go. But Wu Sanniang never gave Lin Fei a chance to speak, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't say anything.
"Eldest sister, why don't you let Brother Lin stay, he can not only help with the work, but also tell me all kinds of interesting stories."
Hearing Wu Xiaomei say what was in his heart, Lin Fei was secretly happy, it seemed that his story had not been told in vain in the past few days.
Wu Sanniang looked at Lin Fei and said, "Do you want to stay?" ”
Lin Fei nodded decisively and said: "If there is a place that can be used, find it in the lower place, and ...... it below."
"No, I don't have a place for you except that this cargo needs to be moved." Wu Sanniang said unceremoniously.
Wu Sanniang's words made Lin Fei speechless, and he could only scold in his heart: "Stinky girl, are you teasing Lao Tzu?" If it weren't for Lao Tzu's penniless body and ignorance of the world's money-making rules, Lao Tzu would look at your face? ”
Lin Fei arched his hand and said, "In the next ...... In the next, understood. ”
Another three days passed, and finally, when I got up in the morning, I could see some houses in the distance. At the same time, Lin Fei could also guess that he was about to land. When I think of this, I don't feel worried.
After docking, he helped carry the cargo by himself, and he had to worry about survival, and he was penniless, which was embarrassing in any era.
The ship was about to dock, and there were already people waiting on the shore. Wu Sanniang threw over a heavy chain fixed on the ship, and the people on the shore skillfully pulled the boat closer and fixed it on an iron pillar.
Immediately afterwards, someone stepped forward to set up the board, and a thin middle-aged man walked up the mountain and said, "Miss, how about I help you get off this cargo today?" ”
"What's the price?"
"Well, how about ten cents for a bag of goods?"
Wu Xiaomei jumped to her feet and said: "Everyone else is five cents, why do you count us as ten cents?" ”
The thin man smiled and said, "It's this price, you are looking for someone else but more than this price, the eldest lady believes it very clearly." ”
Wu Sanniang said expressionlessly: "I can't afford this price, please take care of it." ”
"Hmph, do you really think you can't be a big lady? The phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, this ship, see how you move it before dark. ”
The man left angrily, but Wu Sanniang ignored it completely, but approached the cabin, carried a sack of goods by himself, and walked down. Her steps were light, and she didn't look exhausted at all, and Lin Fei, who watched it, secretly marveled, this is a real female man.
Lin Fei was blessed with the grace of saving people's lives, and he couldn't stand by no matter what, not to mention that after he said that he would help move the goods, the two would not owe each other. Fifty or sixty pounds of sacks, which seemed to contain grain, didn't feel anything when they were on their backs at first, but they couldn't hold up the large number, and after an hour, Lin Fei felt that his legs were like being injected with lead.
After the sacks are disembarked, they are transported to the warehouse by wheelbarrow. The whole process is not cumbersome, but if there are only two and a half people, the lack of human hands will naturally make the work seem cumbersome. The sacks were stacked on the side of the road, and after a certain number, they were pushed to the warehouse by Wu Sanniang, and Wu Xiaomei pushed the cart on the side. It didn't seem that Lin Fei was the only one who felt this, a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old rushed forward to help, but was pushed away by Wu Xiaomei.
After being pushed away several times in a row, the young man did not give up, and ran to the cabin again, carrying the goods with Lin Fei. The cargo in the cabin was moved for an hour, and I was tired and half dead, but I felt that I hadn't moved much, and it was naturally good to have one more person to share it at this time.
"Who wants your help, I don't want to see you, you go away." Wu Xiaomei looked at the young man with angry eyes.
At this time, Lin Fei noticed that the young man was dressed in a satin collared robe, embroidered with colorful auspicious cloud patterns on his chest, tied with a jade belt around his waist, and stepped on a thousand-bottomed show boots.
"Little sister, let me help you, I can't bear to see you suffer." The young man's tone is still very immature, but his tone is very real.
Wu Sanniang pulled her little sister and pushed the wheelbarrow to the warehouse. The four of them cooperated and finally finished moving the food in the cabin before the sun set. The moment he put down the last sack, Lin Fei was paralyzed on the ground, not even wanting to move a finger.
"I'm tired of you, I'll invite you to dinner." A face was reflected in Lin Fei's pupils, although his face was also full of exhaustion, but he was not as unbearable as him and fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Okay, then let's go to Sister Wu's house to eat." The young man turned over and sat up, and said eagerly: "I haven't been to Sister Wu's house for a long time, and I really miss it." ”
Wu Xiaomei glanced at the young man and said, "You are not welcome in our family. ”
"Little sister!" Wu Sanniang said with a little reproach: "Wu Yi helped us so much today, it is reasonable, you shouldn't treat him like this." ”
"Who...... Who asked him to help. ”
Lin Fei lay on the ground and watched the quarrel of several people, thinking that this is all tired like a dog, you still have the heart to quarrel. "Little brother, pull me up."
After standing up, Lin Fei said: "Don't say a word, Miss Wu, lead the way ahead, I'm really hungry." ”
Wu Sanniang and Wu Xiaomei led the way in front, while Lin Fei followed behind with the young man. At this time, the sunset had set, and the afterglow that dissipated, the old man who pulled the shadows of the two people in front of him, and the tall back, Lin Fei could feel that the two girls in front of them were extremely stubborn and self-reliant.
The sky became darker and darker, until the moon came out, and Wu Sanniang and a few people stopped in front of a large mansion. Although Lin Fei didn't know the ancient architectural structure, looking at the two stone lions at the gate that were more than one person high, they didn't look like ordinary people. So the question is, why would such a family let two women go outside to show their heads?
The door of the house was pushed open, and the whole courtyard was empty, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, it seemed that the whole place was full of fallen leaves. Wu Sanniang walked inside, turned on the lights in the room, and said to the two people behind her: "You sit here for a while, I'll cook,
Wu Xiaomei also left, and only Lin Fei and the young man were left in the house. "Brother Tai's surname is high, and I don't seem to have seen Your Excellency on this ground."
Lin Fei pursed his lips secretly, could it be that you have seen all the people on this ground? Although he was facing a little child, Lin Fei still said seriously: "In Xia Lin Fei, he is a person from Tianqing Mansion, who was chased and killed by the enemy, but fortunately he was rescued by Miss Wu, otherwise he would have thought that he would be a lonely soul in the wilderness."
"It turned out to be Brother Lin, my name is Wuyi, I am originally from the capital, and like Brother Lin, I have also fallen here."
The capital in Wuyi's mouth, Lin Fei knew that he was talking about Tokyo City, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, that is, the capital of the original Northern Song Dynasty.
Lin Fei said suddenly: "Brother Tai is also surnamed Wu, could it be that he and Sanniang are of the same clan?" ”
"Alas!" Wu Yi sighed and said, "Not only are we from the same sect, we are still brothers-in-law." ”
"Brother-in-law? Brother Wu is young, could it be that he got married? Lin Fei looked a little surprised, he had long known that the ancients had married early, but he didn't think it would be so early, and it was estimated that the birds had not grown up in their teens.
Wu Yi reacted: "That's no, it's just that there was a finger for marriage." ”
"Is it Xiaomei Hewu? So why ......"
"Well, that's a long story at this point." The young man Wuyi didn't seem to have much scheming, so he didn't need Lin Fei to ask, so he poured beans into his own bamboo tube and told the whole thing again.
"Brother Lin, how can you blame me for this, I can't make decisions about family matters, my little sister blames me for this matter, and I can't argue."
Things are not complicated, Wu Sanniang's father died unexpectedly half a year ago, but the family's assets were seized by Wuyi's father, so Wu Xiaomei has such a big opinion about Wuyi.
