Chapter 183: The Story of a Tiger
"Speaking of this tiger, all Wuxi and people who are familiar with him think that he is a man of temperament!"
Yu Yemiao's evaluation was very high, Zhou Huchen became more and more interested, and he hurriedly urged: "I like people in temperament!" ”
Habitually brushing his beard again, Yu Yemiao continued: "This tiger can be regarded as the pride of our Wuxi and our Yu family, although it is not a famous literati, and it is not good-looking and ugly, but this Yu Dahu is definitely a trustworthy person."
It turned out that the Jiang Shanghu of the Yu family was named Yu Dahu, and Yu Dahu became an orphan when his parents died when he was a few years old. The Yu clan belongs to a big clan in Wuxi, and has its own method of mutual assistance in the clan, and the Yu clansmen are responsible for Yu Dahu's life. The only pity is that he is so ugly that no one wants to recognize him as a stepson.
This is how Yu Dahu grew up, and when he was sixteen years old and an adult, everyone realized that they underestimated this ugly Yu Dahu. He no longer accepted any help from his people, but worked the docks. The wharf is to work as a stevedores and slendermen in the docks, canals and some tributaries, this profession is very hard and tiring, and you can only eat with your mouth. Yu Dahu has been doing this for several years, he is very poor, and he is ugly, so he can't even ask for his daughter-in-law.
Six years ago, a brother who worked with Yu Dahu had an accident and died shortly after, leaving behind a two-year-old child and wife. A widow with a child, its difficulties can be imagined, Yu Dahu did not hesitate, he began to selflessly help this orphan and widow. This gang is three years, the widow once refused, but it was useless, Yu Dahu has always helped silently, and has no intention of giving up. Someone also suggested that the widow should marry Yu Dahu, probably because Yu Dahu was too ugly and too poor, and this matter did not work out.
It is inevitable to be ridiculed, but Yu Dahu has never minded because of this, even if there is only one copper plate, he will take care of the orphans and widows. Although the widow never made any commitment to him, Yu Dahu never gave up, and he still selflessly helped the orphans and widows who were sick with him.
Five years ago, something happened that changed everyone's perception of Yu Dahu. At that time, a gang that relied on abduction, trafficking and stealing children came to Wuxi. The goal of these people was to steal the children of poor and poor families, and unfortunately the children of widows were targeted. The gang took advantage of the widow's departure to do needlework and entered the widow's home and succeeded in taking the child out of the house.
Coincidentally, the widow happened to see this scene when she returned. How could a woman be the opponent of these people, so the widow began to shout, and more coincidentally, Yu Dahu also appeared at the right time.
The two began to desperately chase after the human traffickers, and when they were about to come to the river, several of the traffickers showed their fierce side because there were no people near the river. Several people pulled out their knives, and the two of them watched with their bare hands but could not stop it, they understood that as long as the child was taken on the boat, it meant that the child would not have any hope of getting it back.
It was useless to cry, watching the widow cry helplessly, looking at the desperate expression. Yu Dahu made a move that shocked everyone, and he rushed forward desperately
Afterwards, Yu Dahu was left with twenty-one wounds on his body, including the one on his face, and one of these bandits was also left by him, when those bandits were repelled by the desperate Yu Dahu, the child was saved, and he himself fell.
But the widow was not so lucky, she and Yu Dahu, who had also been slashed several times, crawled together, and the dying widow made a promise to Yu Dahu; In the next life, she must marry Yu Dahu and be his woman.
Zhou Huchen didn't interject for a long time, this is a legend of a low-level little person, a touching sad aiqing story.
This story made the atmosphere at the wine table heavy, and Zhou Huchen was full of admiration for this bloody and brave Yu Dahu, and he couldn't help asking, "What happened later?" How is Yu Dahu? ”
Yu Yemiao continued: "In fact, this legendary story is not over yet, otherwise there would be no current Jiang Shanghu. Later, Yu Dahu asked his friend to bury the widow, and it took him half a year to heal his wounds, and then he took the widow's child and began a wandering life. He went to the vicinity of Hangzhou by selling coolies and begging, and he went to look for the bandits, because the accents of those bandits were the accents of the Hangzhou generation. After two years of hard life, the hard work paid off, and he finally found the traces of the bandits.
reported to the official, and then Yu Dahu took the child to see the bandits being beheaded, and then they returned to Wuxi. In this way, Yu Dahu relied on his fearlessness to become the eldest brother on the surrounding docks, a big brother who begged for a living for his poor brothers. In less than two years, he had hundreds of poor brothers and dozens of transport ships. That child is now his son, and there have been countless poor women who don't dislike Yu Dahu's ugliness, don't dislike him with a child, they want to marry this person who dares to take on everything, but Yu Dahu has never married a wife until now. ”
It seemed that this legendary story had come to an end, and several people did not continue to speak.
After being silent for a long time, Zhou Huchen spoke first: "Is it recommended or does Yu Dahu take the initiative to serve me?" ”
"Yu Dahu came to the door by himself, he asked the old man to be his introducer, this old man Yu Dahu can be a guarantor!" Yu Yemiao replied:
"What a temperament! What a person who dares to take on everything! I can't wait to meet this legend now! Zhou Huchen stood up.
When Yu Dahu, who was waiting outside, entered the house, Zhou Huchen finally understood what it meant to be ugly.
It's not that simple to be ugly, this Yu Dahu has a big head, a big head that is completely out of proportion to his body, but that's not all, he has a long scar on his face from his forehead to the right half of his face, and his face is full of horizontal meat, garlic nose, and fat lips. This look, with a long scar, and a face of horizontal flesh, is an extremely vicious character no matter how you look at it.
This is the ugliest person Zhou Huchen has ever seen, Yu Dahu is completely a bully except for a pair of small eyes.
But this is nothing, Zhou Huchen understands that it is this appearance, it is Yu Dahu's sincerity and blood courage that made him, if this story is true, this Jiang Shanghu is an absolutely persistent person. Struggling at the bottom to this day, he came to take refuge in himself, definitely not as simple as trying to eat.
Zhou Huchen's expression was very calm, there was nothing abnormal, he just looked at Yu Dahu and knelt down respectfully for himself: "Villain Yu Dahu greets the young marshal." ”
"There are no rules, there is no circle, if you want to enter my army, you must know military discipline, the duty of a soldier is obedience, you must not be afraid of death, even if it is an auxiliary army, there will be no exceptions." Zhou Huchen said the rules very directly:
"The villain understands that his brothers are all poor, any hardship, any tiredness is not a problem, these brothers have admired the young marshal for a long time, if the young marshal is taken in, it is the honor of these brothers!"
Are they all their own fans? Zhou Huchen's reputation - very loud, there is such a possibility!
"Want to be a real Egami Tiger?" Zhou Huchen asked with a smile:
"The villain naturally thinks that if the young marshal takes him in, the brothers will not let the young marshal down, they are all mixed river dragons rolling on the water, and on this inland water, the villain dares to guarantee that no one is the opponent of these brothers!"
Yu Dahu is right, these poor people on the water live on boats, and they have been dealing with water almost all their lives. can be called the tiger on the river, Yu Dahu relies on these brothers, who can live in the canal and the Yangtze River, these people will not lack bravery.
"Okay, I'll go see the brothers!"
Zhou Huchen knew very well that if he wanted to really subdue these people, he had to make a gesture. In fact, these people are just outlaws who are begging for a living on the waterway routes, otherwise, it would be impossible to get mixed up on the waterways. With these people, the water will have its own piece of the world. [bookid=3033574,bookname="Confucianism in the Late Han Dynasty"]
