Chapter 12: The Living Ruffian
Finally persuaded Tian, the two went out, remembering Tian's entrustment, and deliberately went east to bypass the village, so as not to be seen by Lao Zhu, who knew that he collided with Lao Zhupo's grandson Dongcai.
Cui Zhi said badly, but when he saw Dongcai turning his head and about to run, he immediately shouted to him, "Where did Dongcai come from, where are you going?" Why do you run away when you see someone? ”
Can Dongcai not run? Yesterday, my mother-in-law made trouble at the house, and was smashed back by someone spitting stars and stones, with several cuts on her face, and her kneecaps were still knocked, and she lay down and scolded all night.
Today he was kicked out by his mother-in-law to find a crutch for her, but he didn't find the crutche, and he actually met the Wei family.
Dongcai still wanted to run, and as soon as he took a step, he heard a shout behind him, "Stop!" Come here! ”
This shout was worse than his father's, Dongcai didn't dare to run, and walked over tremblingly, "Brother Muzi, Cuizhi...... Sister. ”
Wei Ming didn't take the old Zhu Po seriously, but Cui Zhi didn't like the old Zhu Po's face, so he scared Dongcai, don't let him talk nonsense in front of the old Zhu Po's face, it's okay.
Cui Zhi's body is half a weight taller than Dongcai, but she just tilted her chin to look at Dongcai, and looked at Dongcai without stopping her neck, before she said in a ruffian tone, "Call me sister, sister will teach you, talk less, it's better not to speak, understand?!" ”
What a living ruffian! Wei Ming wondered if the anchor job she said was similar to a broker, that is, a nursery.
Otherwise, how could she pretend to be easy?
Dongcai was frightened and pursed his lips vigorously. Although Wei Ming was not impressed by Dongcai, he still remembered from him that he was very quiet in his previous life, and he never excelled in doing things, and he never harmed others and benefited himself like his grandmother and father.
"That's it, let's go." Cui Zhi hadn't scared enough, so he listened to Wei Ming's words.
She glanced back at Wei Ming, Wei Ming realized that he had overstepped, and he hurriedly added, "Dongcai remembers Cuizhi's words." ”
After speaking, he persuaded Cui Zhi again, "It's not early." ”
Cui Zhi saw Dongcai nodding straight, snorted, and said, "Let's go!" ”
The voice fell, and Dongcai ran away.
The two of them got back on the road, and there were many pedestrians on the road, all of whom hurried while the sun was not rising. The two of them hurried slowly, and when they arrived at the county seat, they were covered in sweat and their water bladders were empty.
In these years, it costs money to drink saliva, but fortunately, Tian stuffed a lot of copper plates for the two of them to drink, and the two found a tea stall, sold two bowls of tea brewed from the end of the tea leaves, and drank it all up, so they went to the medicinal herb shop.
Anqiu County is not big, in Cui Zhi's eyes, it is almost like a town, plus the year is not good, the street is bleak, the two of them looked for a long time, only to find an open pharmacy.
Medicine can't be eaten as a meal, and the price of medicine is not expensive. Cui Zhi bought a little rhubarb, and asked how the child should be poisoned by eating old rice, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy grabbed the side medicine, Cui Zhi looked at the medicine of Coptis chinensis, Astragalus, and other herbs and rhizomes, and couldn't recognize it, asked the price, and bought a pair, thought about it, took out the salt bag brought out by the family, and asked: "Do you use salt to offset it?!" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and immediately put away the medicine, "If you don't have any money, just don't have it!" What do you say about taking salt? It's been a year full of salt! Let's go! ”
Speaking is about to bang people, Wei Ming hurriedly blocked Cui Zhi and took out the money bag, the shopkeeper snorted, collected the money and handed over the medicine, "If you have money, you still say that you use salt to make fun of people?" Dead girl film! ”
Cui Zhi glanced at him, didn't speak, went out of the door, looked up at the door plaque, "Guisheng medicine shop, I remember." ”
Wei Ming persuaded her not to be angry, of course she was not angry, and she came to the spirit again, "Our top priority is to go to a place like the post inn to see if there are any goods sold from the south to the north!" ”
This is not bad, Wei Ming is not in a hurry, after all, they only have a bag of salt in their hands, and it would be good to be able to find the way this time.
Wei Ming is of course familiar with the county, and he has been here a lot of people who have been working all the way back then. He took Cui Zhi to a nearby inn, the inn was closed, and the two walked forward, but before they reached the next one, they came to the alley where the former classmate was located.
Wei Ming casually looked towards the entrance of the alley, and saw a person walking towards the entrance of the alley with a bamboo basket.
He couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't that classmate? It's just that I didn't expect to look like only twelve or thirteen!
This person's name is Wen Chuan, the family is all carpenters, he is three, the above two brothers are good, so there is money for him to study, Wei Ming and he are studying in the same county, and in the same year, Xiucai.
"Muzi, do you know the little boy in this city?" Cui Zhi asked.
"Looking familiar, I have seen it."
"Oh! Then just ask him what other inns are open in the city, so that he will not run all over the streets and his feet will be worn out. Cui Zhi turned his neck and sat down on the stone tooth on the side of the road.
Wei Ming smiled, and he just wanted to say a few words to this old man.
Wen Chuan was still the same, walking with a book on his back, and when he saw him, he was already in front of him, "Hey, scare me!" ”
"Dare to ask this brother, do you know if there are any grain merchants from Jiangnan coming to the county recently?"
"Huh?" Wen Chuan looked at him with wide eyes, "How do you know that there is a grain merchant?" No, how do you know I know? ”
Wei Ming almost laughed, "It seems that my brother knows that there are grain merchants from Jiangnan." ”
Wen Chuan blinked, "Did I say it?" ”
It turns out that the twelve-year-old Wen Chuan still has such a side, which really makes people can't imagine his later life experiences, which are very different from the present.
In the previous life, Wen Chuan won Xiucai with him, he was eighteen years old, Wen Chuan was twenty years old, and they both reached the age of getting married. His family is poor, and his age is not too anxious. However, Wen Chuan's father and brother are capable and well-managed, and there are many people who take a fancy to him.
His parents took a fancy to a family for him, and they saw the girl in that family, but who knew that Wen Chuan knew about it, and made a fuss at home to prevent the marriage. His father beat him, and the news spread to the woman's house.
It was originally unpleasant, and the family affair was stopped. At that time, Wen Chuan's eldest brother had an emergency, and it didn't take long for him to disappear, so he was really not suitable for discussing relatives. It's just a year later, the woman's family went to Wen Chuan's house again to mention the marriage, the Wen family hesitated, and the woman's family came to the door twice or three times, Wen Chuan came forward to express his resoluteness, who knew that the family said that he was not allowed to marry, but in fact, he was not clear with his widowed sister-in-law! Turning his head, he went directly to the teachings, and it was necessary to teach the removal of Wen Chuan's fame!
Gui Jiao was the most cherished talent, and he couldn't judge the matter based on the words of the family, so he went to Wen's house to ask about the situation, but he just mentioned it, and before he came to the door, Wen Chuan's widowed sister-in-law swallowed the mouse medicine and committed suicide.
Wen Chuan was devastated, buried his widowed sister-in-law, ran away from home, and never returned.
Wei Ming remembered that it was later that he recovered the lost territory of the Fuxing Dynasty, and saw Wen Chuan on the way to war. Wen Chuan did not study anymore, nor did he refuse to do any more learning, and worked incognito at the foot of a mountain for a lifetime......
Wei Ming remembered the events of his previous life, and sighed to himself, I don't know when Cui Zhi had already stepped forward, tilted his head and asked him, "I seem to hear the grain merchants in Jiangnan?" ”
Her ears were really pointy, and Wei Ming bowed her head, "Exactly." ”
Cui Zhi immediately seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and asked Wen Chuan, "Little brother, where are the grain merchants in Jiangnan?" ”
After finishing speaking, I remembered that I was like a child, and it didn't seem right to call someone else's little brother.
"Eh, big brother, ......?"
