Chapter 53: Choice
Standing on the street blankly, Shi Wanbao had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Holding the reward money in his right hand, Yang Yu's considerate Qianguan reward money was exchanged for gold of equal value, otherwise Shi Wanbao is probably no matter how high his martial arts are, no one can carry the Qianguan money home.
With his left hand, he stubbornly guarded a piece of rice paper, which was the one that Yang Yu wrote "The great man of chivalry for the country and the people", and also gave it to Shi Wanbao.
One hand is heavy gold, the other hand is light and fluttering rice paper, but Shi Wanbao feels the same weight as his hands.
As a hero with ideals and dreams, who can not have the idea of making contributions!
It's just ......, Shi Wanbao is in infinite distress.
"I heard that there are a lot of displaced people from Luoyang who are about to pour into our Jingzhao County, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Tongguan in a few days." The two passers-by talked as they walked, attracting Swanbo's attention.
"Isn't it! It is said that there will be more than 100,000 people this time, I'm afraid the Disaster Relief Department will be tight again, we don't have the ability to act as much as His Royal Highness, can we help some! The two walked side by side, and the man who was close to Swanbo said.
"This time I want to donate consistently, but I will definitely check the accounts, if I dare to be greedy for Lao Tzu's money, Lao Tzu will sue him to death." The other said through gritted teeth.
There were many business travelers between Luoyang and Daxing, and the news that the displaced people in Luoyang collectively transferred to Jingzhao County could not be concealed at all, and the entire Daxing City was discussing.
The folk customs of Jingzhao County are still very simple, and the people who got the news have generously donated their own efforts, and the Disaster Relief Department has once again seen a peak in donations.
The two passed by Shi Wanbao and only looked at the strange man standing in the middle of the road in surprise, and then entered the disaster relief department and lined up to donate.
Shi Wanbao looked at the ordinary people who went in and out of the Disaster Relief Division, looked at the gold in his left hand, and then looked at the rice paper in his right hand.
……
Shi Wanbao's home is in Quchifang in Nancheng, which at this time was not as prosperous as it was decades later, and it is still a very desolate place.
The houses here are low, the grass is regrown, and most of the people who live here are poor people.
The Shijia family is located not far from Qujiang Pond, and the three tiled houses are also standing out from the crowd around. It was surrounded by a low wall, and the dilapidated gate was ajar, as if waiting for the return of its master.
Shi Wanbao looked at his home, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, in order to pursue Sun Hua, he had been away from home for half a month.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
……
Before he reached the door, several familiar voices came, and he looked around, but he didn't find a single figure.
"Big brother, here." A voice came from the tree.
Shi Wanbao looked at it and saw a person hanging upside down on the big tree in front of the door, his body hidden in the leaves, and only one head was exposed.
Shi Wanbao waved his hand: "Thin monkey come down!" If you love to climb trees, don't hide the others, come out! ”
In an instant, in the grass, behind the houses, and in various hidden corners, a human head appeared out of thin air.
"Big brother, you're back, I heard that you killed Sun Hua's kid, it really increased the prestige of our Jingzhao County, Sun Hua is so arrogant on weekdays, and the most embarrassing thing is not in our hands." The thin monkey jumped over, turned over and got off the tree, and said excitedly.
The rangers of Jingzhao County and the rangers of Feng Yijun have always been at odds, they have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, Shi Wanbao successfully pursued and killed Sun Hua, this time it can be said that Jingzhao County suppressed Feng Yijun.
"Thin monkey, usually unreliable to speak, this time I finally told the truth." A ranger said with a playful laugh, causing everyone to laugh.
The thin monkey is thin and small, and he has practiced the bone shrinking skills, and he is also well-known in Jingzhao.
"Originally," the thin monkey argued, "by the way, eldest brother, I heard that you went to His Royal Highness the Acting King to receive the reward, and that was a thousand times!" With this money, the eldest brother can finally rest assured that he can wash his hands. ”
The rangers in Daxing City all know that Shi Wanbao has long had the heart to retreat, but Shi Wanbao has been wandering all his life and has no production, if he returns to seclusion, then there will be no source of life.
Others are also overjoyed, many people show envious eyes, being a ranger looks beautiful, in fact, it is a precarious life, and if you have money to sleep, you will be a ranger!
"Congratulations, big brother." The rangers congratulated.
Shi Wanbao smiled bitterly and said: "I disappointed the brothers, there is no way to hold the golden basin for the time being." ”
The rangers were stunned, and then they saw that Shi Wanbao was empty-handed, and there was no trace of the thousand yuan at all.
The thin monkey was slightly stunned, and blurted out: "Didn't the eldest brother get the money, and His Royal Highness the Acting King repaid the debt?" ”
"Slap" A ranger slapped the thin monkey on the head, and said angrily: "That's a public reward from the imperial court, how can His Royal Highness the Acting King repay the debt?" ”
Others also nodded, although the Sui Dynasty had harsh criminal laws and heavy taxes, it was still leveraged in terms of government credit.
This ranger's tone changed, and he looked at Shi Wanbao with a worried tone and said, "Big brother must have hidden it as private money, this is a thousand yuan!" If you let your sister-in-law know, it will be terrible! ”
As soon as these words came out, the thin monkey involuntarily shrank his head, shivered all over his body, and seemed to think of something terrible.
The other rangers were also concerned and looked frightened.
Shi Wanbao said: "You don't have to guess, I donated the 1,000 yuan to the Disaster Relief Department." ”
"Oh!"
The thin monkey breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he did not hide private money.
was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his head suddenly, looked at Shi Wanbao in surprise, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Donated!"
The other rangers were also shocked, and instantly calmed down, looking at Shi Wanbao with strange eyes, and they couldn't figure out what medicine Shi Wanbao had taken wrong!
The creak and the sound of the door opening broke the eerie silence.
All the rangers scattered as if they had heard some terrible sound. Disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The thin monkey hesitated slightly, but in the end, reason prevailed over the friendship between brothers, and he looked at Shi Wanbao with sympathy.
Shi Wanbao watched all his brothers disappear without a trace, and scolded these people in his heart for not being righteous.
He turned around with difficulty and laughed dryly: "Senior sister! I am back. ”
The half-open firewood door has been opened, and a woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes is standing against the door, wearing a strong suit, which makes people involuntarily praise at a glance: what a heroic woman.
This woman is Shi Wanbao's younger sister and Shi Wanbao's wife.
"I heard that you did a great deed and donated a thousand yuan?" Shi's wife's voice is crisp and has an indescribable charm.
But when Shi Wanbao heard this, he instantly felt a thrill in his ears, and he knew that he knew his wife, which was the precursor to her anger.
At this moment, Shi Wanbao wanted to disappear without a trace, just like those brothers who were unrighteous just now.
Shi Wanbao, the famous Chang'an hero in the entire Jingzhao Capital, turned out to be a strict wife, and if it was rumored that it would make everyone's jaws drop.
Shi Wanbao was bitter in his heart, his junior sister was not an ordinary woman, she was the true inheritance of a master with deep martial arts, and her martial arts were higher than him! Shi Wanbao's several rebellions were forcefully suppressed by his wife.
"Senior sister, listen to my explanation!" Shi Wanbao hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"Senior brother, you will have a chance to explain!"
Shi's wife flashed, appeared next to Shi Wanbao, twisted her ears, and threw Shi Wanbao into the courtyard roughly, and the door slammed shut.
Then Huo Huo's fist style and the sound of fists to the flesh faintly reached the outside of the courtyard, mixed with Shi Wanbao's muffled hum.
The next morning, the thin monkey once again hid his figure in the tree and looked at the Shi family worriedly.
It stands to reason that although the sister-in-law's temper is bigger, usually speaking, she won't be counted the next day, but this time it may not be the case, after all, the amount of one thousand is too big.
Squeak,
The courtyard door opened, and Shi Wanbao's figure appeared at the door.
When the thin monkey looked at it, he saw that Shi Wanbao's right eye was bruised, and he was still walking a little unnaturally, and he was secretly glad in his heart, it seemed that his choice yesterday was correct.
At this thought, I couldn't help but look at Shi Wanbao with sympathy again,
"Big brother, thank you for your hard work."
When the thin monkey's eyes were once again focused on the door of Shi's house. As if I had found a ghost, I stayed there and forgot that I was still in the tree, so I couldn't help but retreat.
With a 'plop', the thin monkey fell heavily from the tree.
Ignoring the pain on his body, his eyes stared at Shi Wanbao.
His eyes looked straight at Shi Wanbao, and the last one fixed his gaze on Shi Wanbao's right arm.
A beautifully dressed woman leaned on Shi Wanbao's body, carrying Shi Wanbao's right arm, her face was shy mixed with happiness.
"Sister-in-law!" The thin monkey lay on the ground and stammered.
Shi's wife glanced at the thin monkey and said gently: "It turned out to be a thin monkey!" Your brother Shi chased and killed Sun Hua's traitor and got injured all over his body, I was just about to take him to sell some bone-setting wine, do you want to go all the way? ”
"Injured while chasing Sun Hua? When my eldest brother came back yesterday, he was alive and well, but I saw it with my own eyes, sister-in-law, can you make up some nonsense. ”
Of course, these words, the thin monkey would not have said it even if he was killed.
"No need, I'd better leave it to my eldest brother to watch the door! Recently, there have been a lot of homeless people, and there are always some people who don't have long eyes, which makes it very unpeaceful. The thin monkey hurriedly shook his head, the situation was unknown, he didn't dare to mix.
Shi's wife smiled and nodded, and said softly to Shi Wanbao: "Senior brother, then let's go quickly!" So as not to be too late, leaving some sequelae. ”
Looking at the husband and wife who walked away, the thin monkey shouted wildly in his heart: "Is this still the famous overlord flower?" ”
Shi Wanbao showed his face in front of his brother, and the man's vanity skyrocketed, this is simply a dream life!
As a hero, he is often beaten by his wife. When he became the head of the East Palace, he immediately ascended from hell to heaven.
He's a fool, and he knows how to choose.
