Chapter 468: Shower
readx;
The proprietor Long Wang saw that although Yang Tashan was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his body was already very strong, especially when he heard the boat boss say that he knew martial arts, and he overturned five or six of them by himself, which was not only impressive. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
From Xi'an to Qingyang, the distance is not close, and there are often rogue raids and harassments, or victims looting food. The guys in their team are strong, but few are skilled in martial arts, and with this guy, they have an extra insurance.
Long Wang happily accepted, and according to the rules of the ship boss, he doubled his salary, including food and lodging, and 400 wen per month.
Early the next morning, we were ready to go. Long Wang brought a young woman here, double ten years old, melon seed face, willow eyebrows flying obliquely, eyes bright and hot, as if like a fire, dressed in a blue-blue floral short-sleeved shirt, holding a fan in his hand, followed by a carriage covered with a carport, and the shelves behind the carriage were full of boxes and sundries.
The owner Long Wangyi introduced, and then he knew that this little daughter-in-law was named Tian Nizi, who was the newly married lady of Long Wang's continued strings, and she came to Xi'an Mansion to save her relatives, and she wanted to go back to Qingyang Mansion with the team.
Long Wang himself wanted to lead the carriage and let Yang Tashan, who was in charge of his wife's carriage, follow in the middle of the convoy.
Yang Tashan also tied his forensic physical evidence investigation box to this carriage.
Leaving Xi'an, the road was safe, but it was not a major official road, so the road was not very smooth, and it was the summer rainstorm season, and the road was full of potholes and peatholes.
Since the carriage has to transport grain, the guys with the carriage can't make a carriage and follow on foot, except for Tian Nizi, the lady of the owner Longwang, who has her own special carriage.
Yang Tashan led Tian Nizi's carriage and followed the convoy on this muddy official road, and after a few days, Yang Tashan's pair of cloth shoes and trousers were already covered with mud. It doesn't matter if the surname Suo is gone, the quagmire and waterhole are still stepped on.
At noon on this day, although there were a few thin clouds, they were always wandering by the sun, but they did not block the day. The sun was so hot that people sweated. Yang Tashan simply took off his shirt and walked shirtless.
Tian Nizi is covered by a carport, she doesn't feel sunburned, and it is the hottest day in July, and she saw Yang Tashan sweating profusely and shouted: "Hello! Are you hot or not? ”
Yang Tashan looked back and smiled, revealing two neat rows of white teeth, and twisted his head back again, thinking to himself: Aren't you talking nonsense.
Tian Nizi said again: "Look at how hot you are, drink some water." "I took a gourd with water from the carport and handed it out.
Yang Tashan was really thirsty, thanked him, took a sip, paused, tasted the product, then swallowed it, and turned around and said: "Sister-in-law of the owner, you are not water, but wine!" ”
Yes! Tian Nizi looked back, there were several gourds in the carport, she didn't take a closer look just now, she dared to take the wrong place, and she smiled so much that she leaned forward and closed.
Yang Tashan took another sip: "Hmm! Yes, good wine, it's more comfortable to drink some wine than water on this day. Tilting his neck, he drank a small half gourd in one gulp. It made Tian Nizi giggle.
After drinking this half gourd wine, Yang Tashan suddenly felt that the pores around his body were opened, which was extremely comfortable, and he couldn't help but lead the carriage forward, while raising his neck and singing:
Looking up at the sky and clouds,
I want my sister to cry in my chest.
I watched my sister go,
I don't know how to meet.
Tian Nizi blocked her forehead with a fan, sighed, and asked, "Do you still sing mountain songs?" ”
Yang Tashan is also a little strange, yes, how can I sing mountain songs? Who did you learn from? And this song seems to be quite sad, what's going on? Can't remember.
Tian Nizi said with a smile: "Oh, listen to your song, is it that your sister doesn't want you anymore, it's so sad to listen to." ”
Yang Tashan smiled, thought about it for a while, and still couldn't figure out why he sang a mountain song, perhaps, this mountain song is related to his life experience, if you want to find any clues from it, you have to find out where this song is, maybe this Tian Nizi knows. He asked, "Sister-in-law, can you tell where my song is?" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, there was no television, no tape recorder, and no broadcasting. The language is different from each other hundreds of miles, of course Tian Nizi can't hear it, thought about it, and said: "I haven't heard this tune, but it's very good, you can sing two more songs to me, do you hit it?" - But don't sing so sad, it's weird and uncomfortable to listen to. ”
"Okay!" Although Yang Tashan was a little disappointed, but the wine came up, and he soon forgot about it, and sang:
One village in the same heaven and one on the earth,
The love sister is alive and alive.
Which one of the 100 surnames,
lest you shout at the wrong person.
Tian Nizi smiled slightly, blocked the fan on her cheeks, cleared her throat, straightened her chest and sang:
Sister doesn't know brother doesn't believe it,
Ask my brother to go and look up the family names.
Spring ploughing has my surname,
There is my name in the books of the world.
The tone of Tian Nizi's mountain song is different from Yang Tashan's, but the mountain song pays attention to an instant response, and responds casually, as long as it rhymes and hits the theme.
Yang Tashan looked back and smiled: "Sister-in-law of the owner, it turns out that you can also sing mountain songs." That's good! ”
"Of course," Tian Nizi fanned a few times, and then sang:
The deep pool is deep to the end,
There is tidal mud at the foot of the deep pool.
Your brother has a wife at his feet,
Singing to you will not help.
Yang Tashan grinned, picked up the wine gourd and drank a few more sips, also cleared his throat, sighed, and sang:
Sitting is also worried, and standing is also worried,
Walk to the river and watch the water.
The river flows to a place to return,
My brother and I travel around without a wife
Tian Nizi giggled again, covered her mouth with a fan, and secretly looked at Yang Tashan's broad and sturdy back, her eyes full of spring.
They sang along the way, but they didn't feel tired, and when the sun went down, they came to a small market town and settled in an inn.
The guys braved the hot and spicy drugs all the way to catch the car, and it was very hard. When I arrived at the inn, I finished my meal in three or two, washed and went to sleep.
Yang Tashan saw that one or two of them were tired and staggered, a little strange, he didn't have to be so tired, and thought that it must have something to do with his martial arts.
The meals of these guys are very simple, each person has a large bowl of brown rice, surrounded by a large pot of green vegetable soup, and two eggs are beaten in it, and more than a dozen guys are scooped into the bowl, and they can't even see the shredded eggs.
Along the way, Yang Tashan has become accustomed to the life of this kind of coarse cloth commoner. Hurriedly ate, and when the guys all went to the backyard to take a cold shower, and then went back to the house to lie down, Yang Tashan slowly carried a bucket of water alone and went to the backyard to take a shower.
Although the sun had already set, the ravine was still so hot and humid, like a steamer. If you don't take a shower, you won't want to sleep at all.
Yang Tashan stripped off his clothes and pants and threw them on the ground on the side, untied the short blade on his arm and threw it on the pile of clothes, his whole body was naked, and then he used a gourd scoop to scoop cold water and pour it on his body from the top of his head, a cool feeling penetrated all over his body, he really felt refreshed, and even the little second child raised his head happily.
Just as he was humming a mountain song and pouring his joy, he heard a chuckle behind him, which startled him, and turned around to see a young woman standing a few meters away, holding a fan in her hand, covering her mouth and smiling at him, but it was Tian Nizi.
Yang Tashan hurriedly blocked his lower body with a gourd scoop, and he was in a hurry, and the little second child who was stimulated by the cold water just now raised his head slammed into the gourd scoop, and he bent over and jumped twice in pain, and said in pain: "Hey! You...... What are you doing in the backyard? You...... Don't you see people showering? ”
"Hee-hee, it's hot, I can't sleep, come out for a walk - you rush yours, just leave me alone! Hee-hee......"
"You...... You ......, I'm ...... I'm ready to get dressed......"
Tian Nizi glanced at Yang Tashan's sturdy body, and the place blocked by a gourd scoop, and pursed her lips and smiled, "You wear yours, I didn't stop you, hehe......"
Looking at her posture, she didn't want to leave at all.
Hum! Yang Tashan is ruthless, you can see it if you want to, anyway, I don't suffer a loss, and my muscles are still eye-catching. Yang Tashan turned his back, grabbed the shirt next to him, and was about to put it on, when he heard Tian Nizi shouting, "Hey! Your clothes are dirty, don't wear them, change them out, and I'll wash them for you. ”
"No...... No, anyway, it's going to be dirty tomorrow! ”
"You're a real man!" Tian Nizi smiled, "Clothes will be dirty, so why don't you wear clothes for a year!" Wait, I'll get you clean clothes!" Wait~! Then he heard the small footsteps go away.
Yang Tashan slowly glanced back, Tian Nizi had already gone to get the clothes, he was a little hesitant in his heart, should he wait for her to come back, he always felt that she had a good intention, and if he didn't appreciate it, it would be too abrupt for others.
Just as she was hesitating, Tian Nizi ran back like a gust of wind. Holding a clean set of coarse cloth shirts in his hand. Yang Tashan hurriedly turned his back, still blocking his lower body with a gourd scoop.
Tian Nizi ran behind Yang Tashan and patted him on the shoulder: "Here you go, change it quickly...... Hee-hee, big and small, hey-hee
Yang Tashan hurriedly took the clothes with his left hand and backhand, thinking that he would quickly put on his clothes and pants, which would be seen by the owner Long Wang, or seen by the guys and spread to Long Wang's ears, and he couldn't eat and walk around.
Holding clothes in his left hand, and holding a gourd scoop in his right hand to block the vital point, how can he wear clothes and pants with one hand. Yang Tashan gritted his teeth, threw the gourd scoop into the bucket, turned out his pants, put it on his legs in a panic, and put his feet into a trouser leg without paying attention, and suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall, Tian Nizi grinned and held him up, to be precise, hugging him.
Yang Tashan could feel the heat radiating from the soft body and bulging chest of Tiantian Nizi on his back, and he panicked even more, hurriedly pulled out his leg, and finally put it into the other trouser leg.
Tian Nizi let him go, fanned him a few times with the fan in his hand, and said, "Look at you, why panic, I'm afraid I'll eat you!" I just took a shower, and I was sweating on my back again. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped it for him.
Yang Tashan felt Tian Nizi's weak and boneless hand caressing on his back spine, and a hot current from the dantian rushed straight to his head, thinking that you are simply teasing me, are you testing my endurance, turned around, and saw Tian Nizi's hot gaze at a glance, and he was even more flustered.
At this moment, I heard the neighing of horses in the front yard, and it was a mess, and someone shouted: "We only need food, whoever dares to move, Lao Tzu will kill him!" ”
It's not good, the robbers are coming to grab the grain! Yang Tashan said: "You quickly find a place to hide!" Tian Nizi's face turned white with fright, nodded, and hid behind a pile of firewood.
Yang Tashan didn't care about getting dressed, grabbed the short sword he piled up on his clothes, and rushed to the front yard shirtless.
In the courtyard of the inn, a dozen or so men squatted on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, and were pointed at by seven or eight masked men with swords.
These guys eat hard food, they are not bodyguards, and the owner does not give them money to fight for their lives, so they have no obligation to protect their lives.
Long Wang is a small partner in the grain business, if the grain is lost, not only will he lose money, but he will also have to pay for other partners, so although he is afraid, he still kneels on the ground and begs bitterly.
No one paid attention to him, and more than a dozen robbers were putting the grain cart on the horse, trying to pull it away after it was set, Yang Tashan and their grain transport convoy had more than a dozen grain carts, and they were too busy for a while.
Yang Tashan put the short sword behind his back and shouted: "Stop!" ...... in broad daylight What is this, dare to rob, aren't you afraid of the royal law? ”
A burly man walked up, holding a ghost-headed knife, and sneered: "A bug came out of the melon seeds, and Lao Tzu slashed you with a knife!" "Pick up the knife and make a gesture to split.
Ordinary robbers, who have not encountered desperate resistance, generally do not hurt people's lives, unlike a ringing horse that sits on a mountain as the king. So he just pretended to be over, and if he wanted to scare Yang Tashan, it was over. Yang Tashan didn't understand, seeing the other party picking up the knife, he didn't want to think about it, the cold light flashed, a sword flew over, knocking the opponent's ghost head knife away, and then kicked out, right in the burly man's belly.
The big man snorted and fell to the ground, the ghost knife thrown aside.
The other party made a move, and the boss was loaded, and he couldn't help but let these robbers stop working hard, shouting and rushing towards Yang Tashan with their swords.
These robbers also don't know any martial arts, that is, they are very hungry and gather together to block the road and rob. Although Yang Tashan's martial arts have not yet entered the realm of first-class masters, it is more than enough for him to deal with these thieves, and the short sword is swung continuously, pointing east and west, and in a moment, these robbers' swords are knocked away, and people lie on the ground.
As soon as they saw Yang Tashan show his might, he knocked down the dozen or so robbers, and those guys became bolder, stood up, grabbed the sword, and restrained the robbers.
Long Wang was even more happy, grabbing Yang Tashan's hand, as grateful as something.
At this moment, I heard Tian Nizi cheering, ran out from the back of the room, rushed to Yang Tashan, grabbed his hand, and looked up and down, left and right: "You...... You're not hurt, it's so dangerous just now, you're ...... Why are you so desperate, if you lose something, you lose it, if someone has something missing, what can you do! ”
It turned out that Tian Nizi was worried that something would happen to Yang Tashan, so she had the courage to run to the front yard to take a peek. Yang Tashan defeated the robbers just now, and they all saw it in her eyes.
Yang Tashan was a little moved when he saw her concern from the bottom of his heart, and smiled: "These thieves are vulnerable and can't hurt me." I'm a bodyguard, and if I don't make a move when I encounter a thief, what kind of bodyguard is that? ”
Only then did the innkeeper and his men dare to come out and help tie up the robbers. He also sent people to the town to report to Li Zheng, and sent Minzhuang to escort these robbers away.
Long Wang turned out to be a farmer, and after making some money by doing a small business, he invested in shares and partnered with others to form a grain transportation team, specializing in trafficking grain. This convoy was all his belongings, and it was almost robbed, and now Yang Tashan caught the robbers and kept his food. This overjoyed him. Grabbing Yang Tashan's hand shook vigorously, grateful.
Tian Nizi pulled Long Wang: "Don't talk about those useless things, people helped you keep the food, you don't have to thank something!" ”
Long Wang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! It should be, it should be. He took out a money bag from his bosom, poured out all the broken silver in it, large and small, almost three or four taels, divided it in half, thought about it, and pulled it back a little.
Tian Nizi was upset, snatched it up, stuffed it into Yang Tashan's hand, and looked back at Long Wang: "People have worked hard to help us keep the grain, more than ten carts of grain!" That's all the belongings, and this bit of money is still picking the door, really! ”
Long Wang smiled: "I...... I don't want to save some time for the road. "Looking at his age, marrying a lady like a flower and jade, this fear is inevitable.
"What are you left behind? People don't help you keep the grain truck, so what can you keep? Brother Yang dealt with so many thieves alone, and he didn't want his life, so he rushed to this heart, and we couldn't lose others. ”
"That'...... That's ......" That being said, his eyes were still fixed on the silver money in Yang Tashan's hand.
Yang Tashan smiled, divided half of the silver, and returned it to Long Wang: "Owner, you still have to pay for your brothers to eat and drink on the road, how can you do it if you don't have money." You gave me half of it, it's already a lot, and I still get double pay. ”
Long Wang hurriedly took it and said gratefully, "Oh, Brother Yang, you ...... How good is this......"
Yang Tashan saw that Tian Nizi was still going to say, and hurriedly said: "That's it, I don't want one more, let's go back to sleep, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning." Then he entered the Chase Shop. The other guys also went into the room, undressed and went to bed.
Although Tian Nizi's surname is cheerful, she doesn't dare to enter other men's rooms in the middle of the night. He sprinkled his anger on Long Wang, glared at Long Wang fiercely, twisted his waist and walked to the backyard.
Long Wang asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Tian Nizi stopped, turned around and said: "Brother Yang is lonely, and no one is distressed, his clothes are so dirty, it is rare for him to sing my brother on the road and call me sister, I am the sister to help him wash his dirty clothes, is it not hit?" ”
"Medium, medium!" Long Wang said with a smiling face, "It's still my Nizi who will feel distressed." Hey hey"
After Tian Nizi left, Long Wang carefully inspected the grain cart again, and told the coachman on duty to pay attention carefully, and then went back to the room to sleep.
It's a hot summer day, and the clothes are dry overnight.
Early the next morning, Tian Nizi returned the washed and dried clothes to Yang Tashan, Yang Tashan wanted to change the clothes on his body, Tian Nizi smiled: "No need to change, you just wear it, it was originally what I was going to give to my brother, now I will give it to you." ”
"Your brother?"
"Well, he's a catcher in Qingyang Mansion."
"Oh, then thank you sister-in-law."
"Look at your politeness! If you don't dislike it, you will call me sister in the future. ”
"This ......" Yang Tashan hesitated a little, and looked sideways at the owner Longwang next to him.
Long Wang laughed with a wrinkled face, secretly glanced at Tian Nizi, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Yang, Nizi said last night, you helped us so much, I don't know how to thank you, seeing that you are alone and have no one to land, Nizi thinks...... I want to recognize you as a ...... Be a godbrother. I don't know what you think? ”
Yang Tashan has nowhere to go now, and he doesn't know if he has any relatives, and the feeling of being alone for more than a month is really uncomfortable, hearing this, he was about to agree as soon as his heart warmed, but when he saw Long Wang's expression, he was obviously not very happy.
Of course, no man likes his woman to be so affectionate with other men's sisters and brothers.
Yang Tashan smiled slightly, bowed down and said: "Thank you to the owner, thank you to the sister-in-law of the owner, I have no fixed residence, and I am used to drifting all over the world, so I don't have to do anything." ”
He gently avoided admitting his brother, and went to say that he was drifting alone, obviously politely refusing. How could Long Wang and Tian Nizi not hear it. Long Wang suddenly smiled all over his face: "Yes, just look at Brother Yang's martial arts, you know that Brother Yang must be a hero of the rivers and lakes, this four seas is home, how chic, how chic, how like us who work hard to make a living." ”
Tian Nizi had a cold face, stared at Yang Tashan, turned around, got into the carriage, and lowered the curtain.
Yang Tashan felt a little apologetic, but he didn't know what to say. Long Wang beckoned to the road, and the convoy went to Qingyang Mansion again.
Then there was no accident along the way, but when Tian Nizi saw Yang Tashan, she didn't speak with a cold face, but she still secretly stuffed two eggs for him from time to time, sent him a pot of wine, and helped him wash his clothes or something. Yang Tashan couldn't bear to brush her kindness, but he didn't refuse.
This time, I finally arrived at Qingyang Mansion.
Qingyang Mansion did not have much grain harvest last year, there was a famine, and the hungry people were all over the wilderness, and later the imperial court allocated grain for disaster relief, and the grain merchants from all over the country also transported a large amount of grain to sell, and slowly recovered. When they entered the city, there were very few starving people fleeing the famine.
The grain cart has been transported into the house of the proprietor Longwang. This house is not big, that is, a well-off family. The grain was unloaded in the granary in the backyard.
Long Wang smiled and said to Yang Tashan: "Brother Yang, after unloading the grain, we will rest for two days, we will return to Xi'an Mansion, and then transport the grain, you are a martial artist, you will follow our team in the future, including food and accommodation, double the salary every month, four hundred Wen." What do you think? ”
