Chapter 15: The Evil Taoist
Suppressing the excitement in his heart to the world of that famous book, Yang Mo asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Tian, does this person's injury have anything to do with that Liangshan hero?" ”
"This matter has to start from five days ago, that day was the ninth day of the eighth lunar month of Zhenghe, and a group of people from Liangshan came to the village to borrow grain......"
Hearing Tian Jingyou say this, Yang Mo recalled the plot in the book, thinking about which part of the plot in the book he was in now.
However, when Mr. Shi Nai'an wrote the Water Margin, not only was the geography a mess, but the timeline was also a mess.
Fortunately, he had read the entire Water Margin timeline sorted out by a book friend in the post bar, and remembered that between the first month of the first year of Chonghe and March, it was the time when Song Jiang Sanda Zhujiazhuang.
It is now the eighth year of Zhenghe, and as soon as the year passes, Song Huizong will change the name of the year to Chonghe, and I am afraid that Song Jiang will attack Zhujiazhuang soon.
However, although he counted the time in his heart, his ears were still listening to Tian Jingyou's narration.
"But my Chenjia Village has just been exploited by the government before the winter, how can I still make up the money and food they asked for, but the gang was angry, shouting to kill the rich and help the poor, so they killed the Chen Tianzhu who originally lived in this courtyard."
When Tian Jingyou said this, his face showed a sad look, his voice was choked and he couldn't speak, and after a while, he eased his sadness and continued to speak.
"Although Chen Tianzhu's family is said to be a rich family, in fact, they are living a hard life like me, not to mention being kind and charitable on weekdays, and they will let the villagers live in his house in winter, but his family is not only killed, but also skinned and hung at the head of the village by the gang......"
Tian Jingyou was about to say more, but he heard a crisp crack, looked down, and found that a green brick under Yang Mo's feet in front of him was actually broken.
He looked at the expression of the young Taoist in front of him gritting his teeth, obviously this brick was broken by him, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he intuitively felt that this white and delicate young Taoist was really strong.
One couldn't help but step on the green bricks under his feet, Yang Mo endured the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Since Lord Chen Tian is a good person, why don't you put down those corpses, and let them be pecked by wild birds, and exposed to the wind and sun." ”
Questioned by Yang Mo like this, Tian Jingyou said sadly: "Why don't I want to bury the body, but the people of Liangshan don't allow it at all, the reason why this Dadong was injured like this is that he persuaded him a lot, and was cut by a short man on a horse in Liangshan." ”
Hearing this, Yang Mo finally figured out how the man in front of him, known as Dadong, was injured, and what happened to the dead bodies at the entrance of the village.
Thinking about the Water Margin that he had seen in his mind, although he was angry in his heart, he still asked: "Xiaodao has heard that the king of Chao Tianwang is righteous, righteous and thin, under his leadership, Liang Shang has always put benevolence and righteousness first, how can he act like this, someone is not pretending." ”
"Hey, after Liangshan is powerful, although some corrupt officials have been killed, they are still gangs of bandits, their huge cottages, do not farm or produce, and people eat horses and chew not by borrowing grain from the surrounding villages. It's good that those who have the ability to form a village to protect themselves, but ordinary villages like ours can't survive because they have been borrowed. ”
After Tian Jingyou finished speaking, Yang Mo had mixed feelings in his heart, and all kinds of fantasies about heroes when he was studying were shattered by the bloody reality in front of him.
Originally, he knew that after he arrived in the world of the Water Margin, he also wanted to go to Naliang Mountain to have a look, meet those heroes who only exist in books, and eat meat and drink wine with them.
But now, the three views he developed when he grew up in a civilized society can't agree with the actions of those heroes at all.
When I thought of this, I suddenly heard a soft cry from the crowd gathered outside the house.
Yang Mo thought something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to find that it was the Erdong who had already cooked the military rations he had given, and it was being served in a bowl with a broken rim, and it was brought to the house.
The crowd shouted softly, all because of the sweet smell wafting from the military rations after they were cooked.
Looking at these poor people who were skinny and swallowing saliva in front of the broken bowl, Yang Mo sighed secretly in his heart: "Heroes and heroes, do the way for heaven, do their good way, just for that piece of paper, who will care about the life and death of these people." ”
Although he looked at these people pitiful, the military rations he brought were not much, and even if they were distributed to everyone, they would not solve the fundamental problem.
Yang Mo thought that he had prepared some gold and silver, so he asked Tian Jingyou out loud: "Do you know where to sell grain around here?" ”
Tian Jingyou seemed to see what Yang Mo wanted to do, and said happily: "Ten miles east, there will be grain for sale in Wenshang County." ”
Yang Mo said: "Mr. Tian, please find a few people, Xiaodao will take everyone to Wenshang County to buy some grain, and I will pay for the grain." ”
The people next to him also listened to him and Tian Jingyou's words, and when they heard that he was going to help everyone buy food, they all fell to their knees and shouted that the immortal chief is really a good person.
A few men stepped forward, and it was a few people who surrounded him with spears when they entered the door, and these people slapped themselves while saying: "Just now I waited for a good person who didn't know the good people, and I blamed the gods for ......."
Yang Mo didn't take what happened just now to heart, so he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, if you want to atone for your sins, just help everyone carry food." ”
At this time, the Erdong next to him put down the bowl and wanted to follow, but he was organized by Yang Mo and only asked him to take care of his eldest brother.
After Yang Mo finished speaking, under Tian Jingyou's orders, several men found some wheelbarrows out of nowhere and went to buy grain under the leadership of Yang Mo.
After arriving in Wenshang County, Yang Mo used the gold and silver he bought from the gold shop before the crossing to buy a few truckloads of grain, as well as some vegetables and pork, and even bought some spring grain seeds and medicinal materials at Tian Jingyou's request.
Pushing the full load of grain goods, although those men were tired, they were extremely happy in their hearts, and their attitude towards Yang Mo was more respectful, and they shouted one by one.
In order to give these people the strength to transport the things back, Yang Mo also bought a few baked cakes for each of them, so that they could eat enough.
After eating and drinking, I came back from Wenshang County all the way, and when I approached Chenjia Village, it was already close to evening.
Just after everyone entered the village like an arrow, they heard a shouting sound from the other side of the compound, as well as the screams and cries of women and children.
As soon as everyone heard this voice, they knew that it was not good, and some people said with horror on their faces: "Could it be that the Liangshan thief is here again?" ”
Tian Jingyou said in a deep voice: "No, there is no oil and water in our village for a long time, and the people of Liangshan will not come." ”
Yang Mo saw that several people were talking here, but none of them dared to go over to take a look, and said angrily: "What are you talking about so much, just go and see." ”
With him taking the lead, these people were no longer afraid, and rushed towards the compound with a cart.
As soon as they arrived outside the courtyard, they saw that in front of the courtyard gate, four or five Taoists in green clothes and Taoist robes were driving the villagers out of the courtyard, pushing and shoving from time to time, and shouting loudly.
Among them, Erdong can also be seen supporting a pale young man, and he also walked out with the villagers.
When these Taoists saw Yang Mo and them coming back, and then saw them pushing a full load of grain goods, a tall Taoist priest walked out.
The tall Taoist priest walked up to Tian Jingyou and said with a smirk: "Mr. Tian, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
When Tian Jingyou heard this, he showed a displeased expression and said, "Gu Daoren, what are you waiting for us to do?" Also, why did you drive us villagers? ”
When the two were talking, a villager beside Yang Mo whispered to him: "Immortal Chief, these Taoists are Taoist priests from Qingfeng Temple on Qingshan Gang outside the village. ”
When the Gu Daoist heard Tian Jingyou's words, he put on a smile and walked to the middle of the group.
I saw him pick up a bag of dozens of catties of corn from the car, looking very relaxed, obviously with a lot of strength.
"Chen Tianzhu of your village borrowed fifteen loads of grain from our temple before the winter, and now he has been killed by the heroes of Liangshan, you are his tenants, so you should pay him back."
When Gu Daoren said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to several big carts around him, and continued: "I thought that you poor ghosts had no money, and thought about pulling people out and selling them, but now you have bought so many goods, which is just right for us to pay off the debt." ”
As soon as he said this, the villagers next to him couldn't help but shout, and Tian Jingyou was even more angry and ready to reprimand and refute.
But before Tian Jingyou could speak, he heard a clear voice say: "Pay the bill, use my things to pay the bill, have you agreed with me?" ”
It was none other than Yang Mo who spoke, seeing Gu Daoren's hateful face, listening to his shameless words, he was so angry that he couldn't even pretend to be a Taoist priest, so I just spoke.
When Gu Daoren heard this, he looked at Yang Mo and saw that this guy had actually discovered Yang Mo early in the morning, but seeing that he hadn't spoken, he thought he wouldn't be nosy.
Gu Daoren saw that Yang Mo's skin was white and his aura was extraordinary, and he was afraid that Yang Mo would have some background that he couldn't provoke, so he asked carefully: "Dare to ask this Daoist brother, where did you cultivate the Tao before, and what kind of Taoist duties did you have?" ”
Yang Mo knew the meaning of this Gu Daoren's words, Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty believed in Taoism and arranged a series of official positions for Taoist priests, this guy was obviously inquiring about his identity and background.
However, he didn't intend to hide anything from this goods, and said directly: "I have been learning the Tao in Zhongnan Mountain since I was a child, and I have no official or position. ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw that Gu Daoren's face disappeared immediately, and he changed his disdainful face and said to Yang Mo: "A wild Taoist priest from other places also dares to manage the master's affairs, you are afraid that you will not be able to live......"
But before Gu Daoren's words were finished, Yang Mo couldn't help the evil qi in his chest, his body shook, and he rushed towards him.
Before Gu Daoren could speak, he had already kicked him to the ground, stepped on his chest fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "You scum also accompanies self-proclaimed Taoist priests, it's really damned." ”
After Yang Mo finished speaking, he pulled out the long sword behind his back, preparing to stab this Gu Daoist to death with a sword.
But Gu Daoren suddenly straightened up at this time, he only felt a huge force coming from under his feet, and his feet couldn't be suppressed, and he was pushed away.
The other party took off his footsteps, and a lazy donkey rolled and fled to the side, stood up and shouted: "Stinky boy, you actually want to kill me, do you know that my master is Nan Hualang, who is the political man of Dongping Mansion, and Feng Xingzi." ”
Yang Mo underestimated the other party's strength, and when he was annoyed by this guy's escape for a while, he listened to this guy's remarks that my dad was so-and-so, and immediately got rid of his annoyance and sneered.
"No matter what kind of cow ghost and snake god your master is, you are all dead today."
After saying that, he held a long sword and stepped forward, preparing to kill all the guys in front of him who were wearing Taoist clothes and were actually villains.
