133, paragraph copper
"Who are you?"
Li Bao had already reached the stage of voice change, so his voice was hoarse and ugly, and he suddenly made Duan Tong, who was peeping, frightened forward, rolled and crawled, and knocked over the back basket on his back, and as a result, the feces in it were scattered all over his own face.
"Phew!"
Spit out the dirt that had been scattered into his mouth, Duan Tong retched for a while, but he hadn't eaten in the morning, so all he vomited out was some water.
Li Poke is not a patient person, and he is not afraid of getting dirty, so he went over and grabbed his clothes: "You honest confession, why are you sneaking here, who are you!" ”
Kong Li over there was seeing this scene, and his entire facial features were crowded together, forming a living word "bitter".
"Duan Tong, you haven't picked up dung yet, why are you here!" Kong Li was drinking, but it was not loud.
Although he has little knowledge, he is not really as stupid as he looks, and he has the unique cunning of villagers, but the pressure brought to him by Zhou Quan is too great, so that he wants to say a few words for Duan Tong, and he can only express it in this way.
Zhou Quan's gaze stopped at Duan Tong, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Kong, who is this young man?" ”
"This little guy is a common man in the village, without a father or a mother, relying on his uncle to pull the big ......"
"I was raised by my sister!" Duan Tong, who was sitting on the ground, heard the words of Uncle Kong, and suddenly raised his head and said.
"Huh...... Yes, yes, he originally had a sister, but unfortunately, he was gone a few years ago, and now he is fostered in his uncle's house. ”
Kong Lizheng looked a little embarrassed, Zhou Quan looked at Duan Tong with interest for a while, seeing that the young man's heart was furious, Zhou Quan said again: "I see, what are you doing here?" ”
"I ...... I...... I'm watching the hilarity! ”
When Fang just said that he was raised by his sister, Duan Tong was still confident, but at the moment he was a little stammering.
"Do you know how this Hu Hu died?" Zhou Quan asked again.
"I don't know!" Duan Tong's response was quick, and then he glanced at Kong Lizheng.
Kong Lizheng still had a bitter face, his expression did not change, he coughed: "Yanei, after all, there are dead people here, not a place where Yanei has been in such a place for a long time, if Yanei does not dislike it, please also go to the little old man to sit in the snail's house, what do you want to ask, Xiao Lao'er will call someone for inquiry." ”
Zhou Quan laughed: "When you ask almost all the questions, so be it." ”
Under his orders, the array boy naturally brought a purple horse for him, and asked Kong Li for a cart pulled by oxen, and threw the three men on the cart.
Zhou Quan liked his identity as a "yanei" more and more, and arrested three big living people in broad daylight, not only did no one stop him, but no one even asked.
Everything was ready, and when he was about to go back, he suddenly pointed at Duan Tong with a horsewhip: "I see that you are about the same age as my companions, and you have no father or mother, are you willing to go with me?" Studying by my side for a few years will always give you a background. ”
Duan Tong looked at him in amazement, and Kong Li next to him hurriedly said: "Yanei, this kid is stubborn and stupid, how can he be a long-term follower to Yanei, and he still has an uncle at home......"
"Call his uncle." Zhou Quan said.
Originally, Zhou Quan was sent away, Kong Li was relieved in his heart, but at this time, he heard that Uncle Duan Tong was going to come again, and his face was squeezed into a "bitter" word, and only after hesitating, the official stepped forward and kicked: "The orders of the Yanei, do you still dare to push back and block?" ”
The kick wasn't too heavy, but it still kicked Kong Lizheng limping, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to go to someone.
After waiting for a pillar of incense, Kong Li was coming with a woman, this woman was very ugly, and she had never seen the market, as soon as she looked at Zhou Quan, she immediately knelt down on the ground: "I have come to see Yanei." ”
"What about the young man's uncle?" Zhou Quan's face sank.
"Back in the palace, his uncle is looking for a livelihood in the mine, and now it is a farming slack, so his uncle is doing some chores in the mine to subsidize some households, and this woman is his aunt." Kong Li is cautious.
"I see, this boy wants to come and do it in the mine?" Zhou Quan pointed at Duan Tong, but he didn't wait for Kong Lizheng to answer, but asked Aunt Duan Tong to answer......
"This short-lived boy is too lazy to endure the hardships of the mine!" Aunt Duan Tong said.
"That being the case, I took him away and gave me a long-term attendant...... Qi Nian, and he ten money. ”
Wang Qinian took out ten pieces of money from the bag on the horse and placed it directly in front of Aunt Duan Tong, Aunt Duan Tong's eyes burst out, and she stared at the copper coin, unable to move it.
Kong Li was about to say something, but when he saw that Aunt Duan Tong had already pounced on the copper coin and hugged it tightly, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Yanai, just take it!" She didn't know what to say, but that's all she could hear.
"I'm not going, I'm not leaving!" Duan Tong shouted, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.
"Your little child's family, what do you know, follow the ya, have new clothes to wear, wine and meat to eat, stay here, what else can you do except drag your uncle down!"
Duan Tong heard that his aunt couldn't wait to push him out, and he jumped angrily: "I didn't push you, I did my own work to support myself, my father and my sister, and left me two rooms and ten acres of land!" ”
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and the reason why she happily agreed was that she took a fancy to the ten acres of land in these two houses. Although the house is now where her family lives, and the land is also planted by her husband and wife, because the family has long been separated, if Duan Tong does not leave, the house and land will have to be returned to Duan Tong sooner or later.
"If it weren't for us, would you be able to keep your house and your fields? Not to mention anything else, when your sister died, you were going to sell your house and land, if we didn't stop you, what else would you have? After a pause, the woman cried out.
"How much is two houses on ten acres of land worth, boy, it is your blessing that Yanai has taken a fancy to you, and if you follow Yanai for a few years, you will have a short field house?"
The official heard the two arguing, and was afraid of annoying Zhou Quan, so he stepped forward to persuade him. Kong Li was also helpless at this time, pulled Duan Tong aside, and didn't know what he whispered, Duan Tong cried, went back to pack a small package, and really followed Zhou Quan and them.
"You're here to catch the car." This matter naturally does not need to be arranged by Zhou Quan personally, Wang Qinian ordered.
If Sun Cheng is here, then this kind of arrangement of manpower is handled by Sun Cheng, and if Sun Cheng is not there, it is Wang Qinian. Li Bao only followed Zhou Quan, personal guards, and other things, he didn't care. A relatively stable division of labor has been formed between these three teenagers who followed Zhou Quan first.
It took nearly two hours to return to Diqiu from Mazhuang, and everyone was sweating. Especially Duan Tong, it is even more dirty and smelly, but he has suffered a lot, and this dirty smell is not taken to heart.
He was still more frightened.
This Zhou Yanei is the son of the governor of Liguojian, and Duan Tong also went to the mine with his uncle to do odd jobs, so he knows that the entire 36th Metallurgy of Liguojian is under the jurisdiction of this governor. The stewards who were already high up when they were working were not even able to see the governor. How could such a big man take a fancy to himself?
"It's dirty and smelly, you go get a few changes of clothes first...... Well, I'll take you there. Li Bao, you ask them to lock up these three piles of waste, and Da Lang will be tried later. When Zhou Quan temporarily relied on the Meng family village, Duan Tong was at a loss, and Wang Qinian came up and said.
Instinctively, Duan Tong developed a sense of trust in this soft-spoken peer. He followed behind Wang Qinian, walked through the courtyard gate, and then was stunned for a moment.
Because in front of him, dozens of teenagers were gathering in the big courtyard to perform, and they all kept an arm's length distance between them, but they were horizontal and vertical, and they looked extremely neat.
Duan Tong estimated that there were about sixty people in total, plus those who followed Zhou Ya, there were nearly seventy teenagers.
About thirty of them were about the same age as him, all fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other half were nine to twelve years old.
"This Zhou Ya has so many playmates? But looking at their appearance, they don't look like the servants of ordinary rich families, where can those domestic servants dress so well! ”
Duan Tong took a look and saw that the clothes of these teenagers were all the same style, and they were not long clothes, but short plackets, and the color was also indigo, he guessed that these clothes were all given by the Ya Nei, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.
Looking at himself again, he was dressed in tatters, sewn and mended from his uncle's tattered clothes, and he did it himself, so that the stitches and threads were exposed, and he was as embarrassed as he was.
"Take a break - disband!"
When Duan Tong was secretly looking, he suddenly heard a shout, and then the teenagers all relaxed from their tense state, and then moved their hands and feet to rest in the shade of the tree.
The young man who gave the order came over with a smile, and there were seven or eight other people who came with him: "Qi Nian, which lump did you dig out of this lump?" ”
Knowing that he was talking about himself, Duan Tong lowered his head in some embarrassment.
"Shh, this is what Da Lang asked me to bring back, I have to get him clothes first, Brother Cheng, open the warehouse and issue an order."
The supply of the array teenagers is managed by themselves, and Sun Cheng is currently in charge of recording the documents, and then regularly publicizing the personnel to take inventory. When Sun Cheng heard that it was Zhou Quan's confession, he glanced at Duan Tong in surprise, then greeted him, and walked towards the courtyard.
Duan Tong followed behind him, passed through a heavy door, and saw a row of houses. The room outside has been clearly remodeled to appear larger, and the windows are open to reveal the tables and chairs inside. Duan Tong glanced at it, there were thirty or forty sets of long tables and chairs, crowding the room to the brim, and at one end of the room, there was a wooden board that had been erected, which was painted black and black, and some words were written on it in white gray.
Duan Tong didn't know much about words, so he couldn't recognize what these words were talking about, he just felt a little curious in his heart: "This should be the place where these companions are active, but it's just like this, could it be that Mr. Xuetang is teaching here?" ”
It's just that I've never heard of the master's family asking Mr. Xuetang to teach the servants, Duan Tong can't figure it out, and at this moment, he heard Wang Qinian in front of him say: "It's here!" ”
