Chapter 18 (1) The Manjia Compound
1
Shi Suo is a straightforward and bold person, but he met a more straightforward and bold peasant girl Dafeng, who felt particularly happy, Dafeng also looked happy at Shi Suo, and said: "You are a good person, very good for my spleen and stomach." ”
Talking all the way, I know that Dafeng is going to a place called "Manjiazhuang" to find relatives, according to Dafeng, she has a younger brother, because of the poverty of the family, was sold there, Dafeng grew up, both parents died, she followed a distant aunt to live, life is also very poor, usually in addition to farming, then rely on rope to sell money, finally saved some money, then want to redeem the younger brother. Dafeng said: "Although I don't have much money, I must redeem my brother, even if I get up early and greedy, don't eat or sleep, I have to save enough money." ”
Shi Suo took out the piece of jade he had just picked up in his bag, "Here you go, sell it to ransom my brother." ”
"No, I don't." Dafeng shook his head, but reached out and took the stone, "This stone is so beautiful, it can't be sold, I'd rather work again to make money." ”
The stone is held in the hand, shining with a shimmering light, crystal and jade, which is indeed very gratifying. Dafeng touched it lovingly, looked left and right, and Shi Suo smiled: "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, I'll give it to you." Dafeng shook his head and handed the stone back to the stone lock.
Professor Wan said, "We still have some money to help you redeem your brother." The two of us went to run errands, and we happened to pass from there, and we went to Manjiazhuang together. ”
"That's okay," Dafeng said happily, "I'll make money to pay you back in the future." ”
Because of the loss of their horses, the three of them were on foot, and the two young people talked and laughed all the way, not lonely. Shi Suo asked, "Dafeng, who did you learn your martial arts from?" ”
"When I was a child, I fought with a few female companions in the same village, and no one could beat me, including the boys, none of them could fall me, and later, I met Sister Jiang, who lived in the village for some days and taught us some martial arts."
"Sister Jiang?"
"Her name is Jiang Yu Niang."
"Jiang Yu Niang," Shi Suo exclaimed, "Haha, it turns out that we are not outsiders, I know Jiang Yu Niang, and in the first half of the year, we have dealt with each other." He said again about the two of them who happened to meet Jiang Yuniang, Dafeng said happily: "That's great, Sister Jiang is a warm-hearted person, she also likes me, I want to worship her as a teacher, but she didn't let me, only let me call her eldest sister, she said that I am suitable for learning martial arts, but it's too late, it's strange to say, those girls and sisters in the same village, learn martial arts with me, but they are stupid, always don't grow up, what about me, learning literacy is stupid, but learning martial arts, but one top ten, one look at it, one learns to pass, you say strange is not strange." ”
"This is called a specialization in the art industry, and everyone's qualifications and strengths are different." Professor Wan said.
In front, there was a sound of rushing water, a big river, horizontal in front of it, because it had just rained heavily, the river was full of troughs, and the willow locust trees on the bank were only left with the crown, and it could be seen that the original water surface was not wide, only because of the rapid rise of the water, the vegetation on the bank was submerged.
Looking around, there is no shadow of the bridge, the river is muddy yellow, foaming, tumbling forward, two miles away, a ferryboat, is carrying passengers on the shore, three people hurriedly ran to the direction of the ferry, before they ran to the front, Shi Suo suddenly said: "Oops, really unlucky, why are these people again." ”
The few people who were on the boat were the same ones who were sheltering from the rain in the hut at the same time.
However, there was only one boat near and far, and the boss of the boat shouted to them from afar: "Hey, you can't get through?" ”
Shi Suo said, "Yes." ”
The three of them ran a few steps and stepped forward to board the boat, and the man with the gray turban was also on the boat, and beckoned: "Get on the boat quickly, the water is still rising, and there is a bridge a few miles away, which is estimated to have been submerged." ”
