Ten out of thirteen, borrowing ten to return thirteen, the meaning is simple and clear. It is generally for a period of one year, and rarely in months.

Even if you don't borrow much, what you need to repay will be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

This is what the donkey rolls in.

Chen Yuansheng's suspicion of high interest rates is not unreasonable, in modern times, the interest rate of 30 percent per annum is definitely usury. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it became a symbol of benevolence.

"The interest is not high. Brother Xian, you and I are both readers, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, you must understand. The middle-aged scholar said to Chen Yuansheng with a pleasant face.

"It's me who is rare and weird." Chen Yuansheng responded, at this time he suddenly remembered that the gold was exchanged for food, but the lunch problem of the three of them had not been solved, he hesitated for a while, and said to the middle-aged scholar, "Brother Liao, can you borrow six yuan, and I will return it all next time." ”

The middle-aged man who was reading took out six yuan from his cuff and said, "Six small money, why not give it to a virtuous brother for my brother." However, the Da Ming Lake Poetry Club, the virtuous brother must arrive. ”

Chen Yuansheng replied, "Naturally. ”

After taking the six coins and putting the invitation card in hand, Chen Yuansheng took out the rat skin and put it on his shoulder, came to the wooden cart containing four stones of rice, picked up a hemp rope, and landed on his shoulder, and was about to move forward.

"Virtuous brother and slow." When the middle-aged man saw this scene, his voice was a little louder, not so calm, he lifted his robe and trotted to Chen Yuansheng's side, "Brother Xian is like this, but he is a scholar Sven." ”

"I can't eat, what are you talking about?" Chen Yuansheng took off the scarf tied on his head and said, "Brother Liao, this will be no problem." ”

"Really, no...... Finish. The middle-aged scholar stared at Chen Yuansheng for a while before saying.

"There will be a date later." After Chen Yuansheng finished speaking, he pulled the car and walked up.

The wooden cart with the stuff was much heavier than when it wasn't. Chen Yuansheng and Li Bo are not very strong, one person can't pull it, and the other two people have to work together.

"Erlang, buy three baked cakes." When he arrived near the baked cake shop in the east of the city, Chen Yuansheng took out the six yuan he had just asked for and said to Wang Er.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Wang Er, who kept Chen Yuansheng's words in mind, pursed his mouth, took six yuan, and went to buy baked cakes.

The baked cake was dead, very dry, and a little choked, just with the water in the gourd, Chen Yuansheng barely ate the tasteless baked cake.

He leaned on the car, leaned towards Li Bo and Wang Er, and said in a low voice, "When we go back, save some effort and put the wooden gun in a place where we can easily get it, the one in the left rear who asks for food, and the one in the right rear who sells peach wood." Keeping an eye on us, I guess they'll do it when they get out of town. ”

"Don't look!" Chen Yuansheng reprimanded Wang Er in a low voice who wanted to look back, and then said, "We are running away, and there is no one in the city to rely on, only on ourselves." Whether the people in the cottage can eat, or even whether we can return to the cottage alive, depends on ourselves. ”

Chen Yuansheng looked at Li Bo, Li Bo nodded, and then looked at Wang Er, who also nodded.

"Eat and leave." Chen Yuansheng said.

Wang Er ate the baked cakes in a circle, and the place where a circle of sesame seeds was sprinkled in the middle of the baked cakes was left by him to the end. He glanced nostalgically at the rest of the pancake and tilted his head into his mouth.

Chewing vigorously, as if to squeeze out the last trace of aroma of the baked cake, I finally drank a large sip of water. Chen Yuansheng and the three got back on the road.

On the way, passers-by pointed at Chen Yuansheng, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and pulling the car, and gathered together in twos and threes, talking to each other, not knowing what they were talking about.

Chen Yuansheng didn't care about these whisperers, his physical strength was mainly used to pull the cart, and his energy was mainly used to keep an eye on those who were observing them.

"Big brother, I think they found out about us, should we give up." A thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man dressed in a dirty and smelly dress that he hadn't washed for an unknown amount of time said.

"What? Abandon? Did you kid get sweated by Lao Yufeng, told you not to sneak - watch Lao Yufeng take a bath, be careful that her man comes back and breaks you into eight pieces. The eldest who looks like he's only twenty years old said.

"Boss, you don't understand, Sister Yufeng's body is very good-looking!" The little idle man said.

"I don't understand? What's so nice about Lao Yufeng's fat that can shake a stick of incense when he takes a step, you kid, you have the ability to get Lao Yufeng into bed, and when the time comes, give him a big fat boy. Don't think about her now, hurry up and contact other brothers to be optimistic about those people.

That scholar, I watched him drill all over the pawnshop in the city, and bought so much rice, I think he can still have something, let's rob him, at least two months to eat and drink without worry.

When the time comes, you go to cut two catties of meat, and Lao Yufeng, a foodie, will obey you if you can't say it. ”

The boss chattered for most of the day, and at first the little gang was listless, but when he heard the end, he stood straight, and there was a little flash in his eyes.

"Seriously?" The little gang asked.

"When did Lao Tzu tell a lie, go quickly!" The boss said arrogantly.

Xiao Bang ran out in a hurry, thinking of being able to play an adult game with Sister Yufeng, who was dreaming of his dreams, Xiao Bang Xian felt that he was full of strength.

The rat skin padded to avoid the hemp rope from directly rubbing against the skin, Chen Yuansheng changed his shoulder and continued to pull the car.

There was a thrill out of the city, three wooden guns were still there, and they were put in the car. The three men marched forward at a relatively slow pace.

Don't go too fast, you have to conserve your strength, otherwise those who follow them will have no power to fight back once they get into trouble.

Chen Yuansheng didn't think about letting Futong, who had the best physical fitness and the highest force in the cottage, follow him into the city. However, when it came time to finally decide, he gave up. Because, if Futong enters the city, his temperament like a modern soldier will definitely cause more trouble than his force.

The sun was setting in the west, and before you knew it, it was getting dark.

Half of the way back to the cottage had been walked, Wang Er looked back and said to Chen Yuansheng, "The owner of the village, it will be fine." It's so far away, no one will come back to rob us, right? ”

"I can't say." Chen Yuansheng shook his head, in the darkness before dawn, there would be something terrifying no one knew.

………………

"Shopkeeper, why did you invite that kid to the poetry party? It's a hundred dollars cheaper for him. I saw that he was wearing a pair of straw sandals and pulling a cart, not like a scholar. Liao Ji's big guy said.

"You don't understand, he's a scholar, and whatever he wears, you can understand it by looking at the way he looks. No poor man with a stick or a mud leg would have such a look as he did. The middle-aged scholar lay on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, "Today, that poor ghost is optimistic, his daughter is good, and he can't afford to pay back the money at that time, so he will bring his daughter first." ”

"Got it." The big guy said.

The night here is silent.

The wheels ran over the stones, accompanied by the rough breathing of three people.

"Owner, slow down, I can't see clearly!" Wang Er rubbed his eyes and said.

"Hold on, there are less than two miles to go to the cottage." Chen Yuansheng looked at the road sign on the side of the road and said that he knew how Wang Er was feeling now, because he himself had some night blindness.

Now the situation of the three of them is very bad, not only is it dark, but also tired and hungry, the porridge I drank in the morning and the cake I ate at noon have long been digested.

I don't know if those idlers in the city have given up......

Before, when it was still light, I could barely find their traces, but now it is dark and nothing can be seen.

Not seeing is not a dangerous departure. Chen Yuansheng thought that they would leave the city and start immediately, but he didn't expect them to wait so long.

Continuing to move forward, Chen Yuansheng suddenly regretted a little, he didn't let those who stayed in the cottage before leaving, and came out to pick them up at night, if the manpower was complete, he believed that there was nothing to be afraid of just these few idlers in the city.

………………

The wind blows gently.

"Boss, let's all come out so far, why don't you do it? My feet are almost worn out by my straw sandals. Xiao Bangxian's earlier excitement had long since faded, and he said to the boss beside him in a suppressed voice.

"You know the! Do you see the guns the three of them are carrying? If they still have the strength, we may not be able to beat them. The boss slammed the back of the head at the little gangster.

"Eh!" Xiao Bangxian screamed, but his voice was not loud, and he muttered in fragments, "Boss, you always call me stupid, I think I was beaten by you." ”

When the boss heard him, his hand was raised again.

"Boss, I was wrong." The little helper saw the boss's waving hand and asked for mercy again and again.

However, he didn't take more than a breath to shut up, and he said to himself, "I don't believe it, the three of them are so powerful." ”

"Eh!" The little helper completely shut his mouth.

A round and a half moon hung in the sky, not very bright. The moonlight poured coldly on the ground, and it looked a little cold.

A black cloud flew silently over to cover the moonlight.

The boss said to the little helper on the left and the partner on the right, "Do it!" ”

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

……

The "sound of hands" spread like ripples, and the command quickly reached everyone's ears.

Through the black clouds, a group of people bent their waists and carried various weapons in their hands, and walked towards the wooden cart on the road.

………………

Chen Yuan moved his ears vividly, as if he had heard something, but when he listened carefully, it seemed like an illusion just now.

One second......

Two seconds......

Three-second ......

Chen Yuansheng suddenly shouted, "Take a gun!" ”

Li Bo and Wang Er, with the same conditioned reflex, picked up the wooden gun on the wooden cart. After they took it, Chen Yuansheng also held a wooden gun in his hand.

With the wooden cart as a cover, the three formed formations.

The six-foot wooden spear forward, the burning blackened spikes, facing the darkness ahead.

Nothing, nothing to see.

However, Li Bo and Wang Er did not question Chen Yuansheng's order, but carried it out as soon as possible.

………………

The boss's night vision was obviously much better than that of Chen Yuansheng, and he vaguely heard the sound of "holding a gun" and saw three figures lined up together. He was even more glad for his previous decision.

These three people are not soft stubble!

There is no shouting from the sky, no sword and sword.

Silently confronted.

The idlers in the city gradually dispersed, forming a siege, like a pack of hungry wolves, hunched over, constantly wandering, looking for opportunities.

Chen Yuansheng and the three of them were still leaning on the grain cart, holding spears in a row. The protruding tip of the spear, like the spike of a hedgehog, makes it impossible for the hungry wolf to get his mouth out.

The boss was a little anxious, the black clouds in the sky were about to drift by, and the light of the moon that was obscured would spread over the earth again. If you can't do it sooner, you'll have to keep confronting each other.

Although the three cart pullers on the opposite side are exhausted and may collapse at some point, the idlers around him are not in much better condition, and they may continue to be consumed, and their side will collapse first.

You know, going so far before has already made the idlers complain.

It's also true, but if you have some ability, arms and legs, who wants to be this idler. Even if you are lazy and don't have a proper business, you can still talk with your fists.

The idlers don't even have a chance to speak with their fists in the city. Even if you can occasionally be majestic, you will immediately be taught a harder iron fist by others.

Whether it is a poor person in the government, or a family member of a large family, even if it is an ordinary businessman, it is difficult to provoke.

Occasionally, even if you bully people, you can only bully ordinary people. However, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, who doesn't have a relative or friend, who knows what towering trees are behind the seemingly ordinary small family.

In the end, they can only focus on the new faces. Not only that, but try to pick those soft ones to pinch.

Chen Yuansheng's dress as a down-and-out scholar, as well as his old and weak followers, made him mistakenly think that he was a soft persimmon.

But how could he have thought that this soft persimmon was organized and disciplined.

It's like the destitute people, who usually seem to be bullied casually, but if they have an organization, although they are individually fragile, they can form a red torrent. Unless several times stronger forces are used to forcibly suppress it, or if there is an internal rout and the line is wrong, it is impossible to fail at all.

Of course, most of the red torrents eventually failed for various reasons. Because, they lack a unified ideology, a long-term program. With even a small victory, the leadership will quickly deteriorate.

The boss's mind drifted far away, and he didn't urge the helpers to hurry up. People recognize him as the boss because he can bring food to everyone.

If he can't bring food and clothing, then he's nothing.

Don't look at idlers bullying this, bullying that, like a strong group, in fact, they are a real vulnerable group.

For the disadvantaged, they can only survive by signing up for warmth, and once they leave, they will only face death.

The black cloud was about to drift away, and the little gang looked around, but no one moved. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the Adam's apple that had just emerged shook, remembering Sister Yufeng's Miaoman's posture, he straightened his chest, raised the weapon in his hand, and rushed towards Chen Yuansheng and the three of them with a shout.

His movements, like a boulder, plunged into the quiet surface of the lake, exploded a splash of water, and caused a ripple. The idler, who was originally grinding and no one stepped forward, rushed up behind him.

These people rushed towards Chen Yuansheng and the three of them from all directions, and Chen Yuansheng and the three of them did not change their movements until Chen Yuansheng shouted the slogan.
