Chapter 8 Disaster Strikes

Gusu in the early morning is very quiet, there are many bridges here, many rivers, the willow by the river hangs silk, the breeze comes slowly, the silk willow flutters with the wind, it is very good-looking. The wind on the water blew on Wei Jue's body, and he suddenly felt much cooler.

In this scorching summer heat, he always woke up early, and went out for morning exercises according to his past habits.

The name of the river at his feet is called the Xiangguo River, and legend has it that as long as you live by this river, you will give birth to a son who will be Xiangguo. This legend is very effective, and there have indeed been many Xiangguo on both sides of the river, so the property by the river has become very valuable by this Xiangguo River.

It's just that the legend can't be true, as for why there are so many bachelors, I'm afraid the reason is because the people who live by the river are originally high-ranking families.

Wei Mansion is a family by the river, and Wei Jue can walk home along the riverbank.

At this time, most of the people in the Wei Mansion were still asleep, and Wei Jue silently changed his clothes and went out again.

In a short time, he arrived at the tea shop.

At this time, Yang Wu had already lit the fire and was boiling herbal tea.

This craft of boiling herbal tea was learned by Yang Wu from the old people in the township, and Wei Jue couldn't help if he wanted to, so he picked up a linen cloth and wiped the wooden table.

The sun is slowly rising, and it is another sunny day, and people rushing to the morning market are pouring in, and Guanqian Street has started another day of liveliness.

In the afternoon, when Wei Jue was busy, a donkey cart came to the side of the tea shop, and it was an elderly Zhuang Huhan who drove the car, and there was a woman sitting next to him, and there was a little lady in the car, which was a family. The donkey cart stopped, and the farmer who was driving the cart walked in.

Seeing that a guest was coming, Wei Jue wanted to catch up, but Fifth Uncle Yang took a step ahead, so he stood up. Yang Wu knew this person, and the two got together and talked quietly.

After a while, Yang Wu walked back and said to Wei Jue: "Wei Jue, I have something to do, you can help take a look at the shop." ”

"Fifth uncle, I know, you can go."

Wei Jue raised his head and agreed, and then he saw Yang Wu leading the family and driving the donkey cart towards an alley.

There is a small courtyard there, which is Yang Wu'an's home in Gusu City.

But Yang Wu had been gone for a long time, and in the evening, he still hadn't returned.

Wei Jue was entrusted by others and didn't dare to leave without permission, so he cleaned up the shop first, and then sat there and waited.

After waiting for another hour, Yang Wu rushed back, and Wei Jue handed over the afternoon's running water.

But Fifth Uncle Yang didn't answer: "Wei Jue, thanks to you today, you have this money." ”

Wei Jue looked at the money bag pushed back and shook his head: "Fifth uncle, I can't take this money, let's keep it as usual, otherwise I won't be able to come back in the future." "That's his bottom line, and he won't accept the money anyway.

"Okay, Uncle Yiyou, then let's go as usual." Fifth Uncle Yang said and took the money bag, "It's getting late, why don't you go to my place to eat." ”

"No, fifth uncle, the family is still waiting for me to go back, let's go."

Thinking that there was a guest at Uncle Yang's house today, Wei Jue didn't want to disturb, so he left with a cloth bag.

It was already night when he returned to the Wei Mansion, and the mansion was still silent, Wei Jue went straight back to the room in the side courtyard, where Lu Zhu was waiting for him.

Seeing that he was back, Lu Zhu hurriedly walked over and took off the cloth bag, and said, "San Lang, why did you come back so late today?" ”

"The fifth uncle has something to do at home, so it's delayed." Wei Jue said and sat down, looking at the empty table, he said again, "Luzhu, do you have anything to eat, I'm hungry." ”

"It's hot on the stove, I'll go get it." With that, Luzhu hurried out.

Wei Jue, who sat down and waited, glanced around, and suddenly felt that something was more.

It didn't take long for Green Bamboo to return, with a fragrant meal in her hand.

"Luzhu, why doesn't it seem to be different at home?"

After asking, Wei Jue picked up the dishes and chopsticks, he was really hungry.

"At the end of the day, the lady of the Cui family came here and gave a lot of things." Lu Zhu said, and put some dishes for Wei Jue, who handed over the bowl and took the dishes she caught.

"Oh, yes." Luzhu remembered something again, "The lady of the Cui family took away the poem you wrote San Lang." ”

"What poem?"

Wei Jue was a little puzzled, he didn't remember that he had written poetry.

"It's the one you wrote two months ago, San Lang, and the lady of the Cui family saw it and wanted to leave."

As soon as Lu Zhu explained, Wei Jue remembered that it was the song [Tianya].

After that, he moved his chopsticks silently and stopped talking.

After eating, Wei Jue found a blank piece of paper and wrote a few words.

After folding the white paper, he handed it to Luzhu, and said, "Luzhu, you find an opportunity to hand over this paper to the lady of the Cui family." ”

Lu Zhu carefully put it away and asked casually: "San Lang, what is written on this?" ”

"It's nothing, you just leave it to her."

Wei Jue only talked about this, and didn't say anything more.

Time is like flowing water, the days go by, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the business on the street is much lighter. During this time, the price of grain in Gusu was rising, and there were suddenly many ragged victims in the city, all of whom fled from Jiangbei.

Wei Jue's life was the same as before, but he found that Fifth Uncle Yang had been a little absent-minded recently, and he seemed to be bothered by something.

Although he saw it, he didn't want to ask too much.

One morning a few days later, a group of people came to the shop.

These people were all dressed in short clothes, and they all carried sticks in their hands, like coolies working on the docks.

There is a lot of water in Suzhou, and Wei Jue has seen a lot of such people, so he went up to serve as usual.

Suddenly, one of the people sitting in the group spoke: "Young man, let Yang Wu come over." ”

Wei Jue looked over when he heard this, and saw that it was a burly man, so he didn't think much about it, so he went back.

"Fifth uncle, someone is looking for you." Wei Jue said, pointing to the man who was sitting.

Fifth Uncle Yang looked up and saw that the man sitting was also looking at him.

Then, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Wei Jue, you stay and watch the fire, I'll go over and take a look." ”

"Hey." Wei Jue agreed and stayed here.

Fifth Uncle Yang walked over alone, he looked around at the group of people sitting, and then said to the man, "Kuizi, why are you here?" ”

This man's name is Liu Kui, he is the villager of Uncle Yang, as the saying goes, he is the closest to his hometown, but today, Uncle Yang's hometown is here to trouble him.

"Yang Wu, let your third brother come out."

After Liu Kui finished speaking, he looked at Yang Wu coldly, but Uncle Yang Wu accompanied him with a smile: "Kuizi, you are looking for my third brother, how did you find here, he is in the township." ”

"Yang Wu, let's not talk darkly, your third brother ran away with someone a few days ago. He's just a brother like you, if he doesn't come to you, where will he go? Liu Kui said, holding the stick in his hand, "As long as you call him out, I won't embarrass you today, otherwise, my brothers will not be polite." ”

After speaking, Liu Kui put the wooden stick on the table.

"Don't don't, Kuizi, my third brother is really not here, or you can take this money and invite the brothers to drink." Fifth Uncle Yang said, untied the money bag around his waist and put it in front of Liu Kui.

In any era, wicked people seem to be the same, and honest people like Uncle Yang can only spend money to eliminate disasters.

But today, this disaster is not an easy one.

Liu Kui picked up the money bag on the table, padded it, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are toasting and not eating, and you are going to eat and drink." ”

After saying that, the smile on his face disappeared, and then the person slapped the case, and the stick in his hand was smashed down.

Suddenly, the bowl shattered, the table cracked, and the diners scattered and fled.

Wei Jue hurriedly ran over when he saw that something was wrong, he wanted to step forward to stop it, but he was stopped by Uncle Yang: "Wei Jue, don't go over." ”

Uncle Yang's words were full of helplessness, this shop can be said to be his hard work, and he can't do anything now.

Wei Jue saw so many people on the other side, and he didn't know that he was invincible. He pondered for a moment and said, "Fifth Uncle, let's quickly find someone from the public gate." ”

When the man named Liu Kui heard Wei Jue's words, he sneered twice, and said: "I still want to find someone in the public gate, boy, I think you are impatient." After speaking, he raised the stick in his hand and hit Wei Jue.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. When Wei Jue saw the stick smashing, he wanted to dodge, but he didn't dodge, he was hit on the head, and his eyes immediately went black, and then he fainted.
