Chapter Thirty-Eight: Apprenticeship in the Year of Chen
Cui Xi replied: "I heard the news from those merchants today that the Zhang family has found Yang Yi. Seeing that Chen Nian was stunned, the young man's face unconsciously showed a little self-deprecation, and said: "The Zhang family only needs to have a Yang Yi in their hands, and they don't care if that Yang Yi is real or not, maybe the fake one is more in line with their hearts, at least they will be very obedient." ”
Even if there are some blood relations, the Zhang family sent troops to Qingzhou not for the sake of his Yang family, but just to fight for this Qingzhou.
Chen Nian understood after a little thought, looked at Cui Xi's eyes, and asked him, "How do you plan to do it?"
Cui Xi was silent for a moment and replied: "In the past, I did want to go to the Zhang family to avenge my family. Now it seems that if they search for the past, they will not be killed as fakes, but will also become a puppet in their hands. Besides, there is Mao'er, which falls into their hands, and I don't know where it will be used in the end. ”
Chen Nian didn't speak, just stood there quietly waiting for Cui Xi's choice.
I don't know how long it took, Cui Xi raised his eyes to look at Chen Nian, and said with a resolute face: "Big boss, I want to stay in the village." Since there was a Qingfeng village three hundred years ago, then now there can be a cow head village. Tang Gong can lead the troops out of Taihang, and so can I, Yang Yi. ”
Chen Nian looked at him for a long time when he heard this, and finally smiled and said, "There are two points to change, one is that you are Cui Xi, not Yang Yi." Second, the name of Niutouzhai has to be changed, and it will be too bad to shout it out in the future. ”
Cui Xi was stunned for a moment, but he also smiled, and replied: "Cui Xi is going to discuss with everyone and change the name of our village to a majestic and majestic one." ”
He was not very old at two years, and he inevitably acted impulsively, so he immediately went to wake up the people of the village to change the name of the village. Except for the two people who were on guard, the rest of the people in the village were already asleep, and when they were woken up by Cui Xi, they thought that there was an enemy attacking, but they didn't want to give the village a name. Scratching his head stupidly, he asked puzzledly: "What is the name of the village, we are on Niutou Mountain, this is called Niutou Village, is it difficult to change it to Matou Village,"
Wen Daya immediately slapped him on the head when he heard this, and scolded in a low voice: "Shut up,"
After he finished scolding, he realized that something was wrong again, and he was busy going to see Chennian. I didn't want Chen Nian to care, but I didn't care, I just said: "I wanted to lead everyone out of Niutou Mountain, so I decided to change my name, and I would be famous in the rivers and lakes in the future." ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately came up with the spirit and made suggestions, this said that since the bull head is not majestic enough, then change it to "tiger", and that said that the gang of people in Hukouling has already occupied the word "tiger", we might as well press them and call them "Fu Hu". Some people say that Fuhu is as majestic as the dragon, so it is better to call it "Dragon Village". Everyone was born in a reckless manner, and when they heard this name cheering in unison, they all said, "This name is good,"
Chen Nian didn't have much ink in his stomach, and he read the name twice, and he didn't feel it and smiled: "This name is loud enough,"
Cui Xi said: "The word dragon should not be used indiscriminately, in my opinion, it is better to change it to the 'long' of prosperity, which not only takes the sound of Fulong, but also has the meaning of prosperity." ”
Chen Nian high-fived and smiled: "Okay, Fulongzhai is just right." ”
Wen Daya and the others were illiterate in big characters, and they couldn't tell the difference between the two words. Everyone was talking happily, when they suddenly heard Chaoyang Zi shouting, "Silly big, come here." ”
Stupidly hearing him call himself, he ran over with a "hey" and asked, "Dao Chief, are you looking for us?"
Chaoyangzi sat cross-legged on a high stone and asked Silly Dao: "Silly big, let me ask you, which cottage are you from?"
"Niu," Silly Da was about to answer Niutouzhai, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that the village had just changed its name, and hurriedly changed his words: "Fulongzhai," the name shouted out was really majestic, even Silly Da didn't feel that he straightened his chest, and repeated, "Fulongzhai, we are from Fulongzhai,"
"What a majestic name," Chaoyangzi praised, and then asked: "Then I'll ask you again, where is your Fulong Village located?"
"Niutou Mountain, Dao Chief, you know." Silly replied.
Chaoyangzi sneered, "Niutou Mountain, since it is in Niutou Mountain, how can it be called Fulong Village, but is there anything to say, has it done something great that can make other villages respect, or is there something amazing in the village,"
This is stupid, but I can't answer it, so I have to go back and look at Chen Nian. Chen Nian was already in the aftertaste, she was silent for a moment, and felt that she was carried away for a while, so she got up and walked over, looked at Chaoyangzi deeply, and thanked: "Chen Nian, thank you for the teachings of the Taoist." ”
Chaoyangzi sneered lightly and said, "I haven't learned to walk yet, but I want to run first, and I'm not afraid of getting stumped."
Chen Nian didn't see any annoyance on his face, but instead bowed to Chaoyangzi again, and said, "Dao Chang is right, it's Chen who is young and crazy. ”
Seeing her so respectful, Chaoyangzi was a little more satisfied, and pointed to Cui Xi and Wen Daya and other villagers behind Chen Nian, and said to her: "Xie Chennian, it's not me talking about you, just look at the people under your own command, whether they can be regarded as Wencheng or martial arts, but they just robbed some unarmed people today, so they were arrogant and didn't know what their surnames were, and they immediately changed the name of the village." Fu Long, just a few of you, you really have the face to scream,"
Everyone in the village was red-faced by Chaoyangzi, and they couldn't speak. They are so rampant, but they rely on Lu Xiao and Chaoyangzi in the village, but they are not people in the village, if there is no them, don't say others, it is the people of Hukouling, they can't afford to provoke.
Seeing that Chaoyangzi seemed to have to be retrained, Chen Nian immediately said: "Dao Chief, don't say it again, let's change it back, it's still called Niutouzhai." ”
Wen Daya and others were also busy: "Yes, it's still called Niutouzhai, Niutouzhai." ”
Chaoyangzi snorted coldly again, and then stopped.
Chen Nian was ashamed and ashamed, thinking that since he wanted to be a strong man to protect his morality, he couldn't always rely on others, even if he had Lu Xiao by his side, he couldn't point to him in everything, and he needed to be able to support himself. She has always been free and easy, now that she has figured it out, instead of being annoyed by Chaoyangzi, she feels that this black old man is more amiable than in the past, and she can't help but smile sweetly at him, and said, "Thank you Dao Chang for this basin of cold water." ”
Her appearance is already beautiful, this smile is from the heart, there is no hypocrisy, even Chaoyangzi was stunned by her laughter, although her face is still calm, her expression is not as mean and cold as just now.
Jing Yuxuan rarely choked Chaoyangzi this time, she looked at Chen Nian for a moment, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this girl was pleasing, and suddenly asked: "Little girl, it's good for you to be a disciple for me,"
Chen Nian was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. Although this Jing Yuxuan has the title of the devil in the rivers and lakes, but these days of getting along, Chen Nian found that she is just short-tempered and impermanent, and she is really not a treacherous person, if she can teach martial arts, it is a great thing.
She was busy going over to kowtow to Jing Yuxuan, but Jing Yuxuan had already raised her hand to stop her, and said: "I'm the most troublesome person, if you want to be a disciple for me, you don't need to do any worship, just call me Master." If one day I don't like you, I can expel you from the school at any time. ”
Although Chen Nian was a little surprised, he thought that Jing Yuxuan should act like this, so he smiled and replied loudly: "Yes, Master." ”
Jing Yuxuan smiled unconsciously, and said, "I just like your energy." ”
Since the two of them became masters and apprentices, everyone came over to congratulate them. Xiao Monkey looked at Jing Yuxuan happily, so he also asked with a smile: "Senior, do you still accept disciples, I think my work is not much worse than that of the big masters." ”
He was joking, but Jing Yuxuan thought about it, but replied, "Then I'll take you another one." ”
Xiao Monkey was just giggling when he first heard it, and when Wen Daya next to him pushed him vigorously, he reacted, and suddenly stuttered with excitement, and asked Jing Yuxuan: "You, you, you speak, speak seriously,"
Jing Yuxuan said unhappily: "Do you want to apprentice or not?"
"Worship, worship," Xiao Monkey said busily, knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed to Jing Yuxuan, and shouted, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
When the stupid big man and the others saw that Xiao Hou'er actually worshiped the master, they were busy and wanted to worship the master, but Jing Yuxuan refused to accept it, and frowned and said: "Don't accept it, don't accept it, it's enough to have two apprentices, and it's useless to have more." ”
In this way, everyone was unconsciously envious and jealous of Xiao Monkey, but Xiao Monkey was still unconscious, happily scurrying around, and for a while he actually rushed to the front of Chen Nian, and said in surprise: "Big master, Master also accepted me as an apprentice, you will be my senior sister in the future, do I want to call you senior sister or big boss, or call you senior sister big boss,"
Chen Nian smiled and said nothing, but Wen Daya and the others next to him couldn't stand it, and rushed up to Xiao Monkey, several people lifted him up, and said with a smile: "Let's throw this thin monkey away, so that Senior Jing can accept us as apprentices." ”
Xiao Hou'er hurriedly shouted: "You dare, my master and sister can't spare you." ”
As soon as he said this, the few who held him were even more dissatisfied, and they all turned their heads to look at Chen Nian and asked, "Big boss, what's the matter?"
Chen Nian smiled and replied, "It's better to throw it away,"
Everyone laughed, and really carried Xiao Monkey to the hillside, making a gesture to throw him down. Xiao Monkey didn't know that everyone was joking with him, but he screamed loudly very cooperatively, and shouted at Jing Yuxuan: "Master, Master, Senior Sister is going to ask someone to throw me, your old man save me." ”
He worked so hard to play treasure, and sure enough, Jing Yuxuan laughed, and even Chaoyangzi didn't feel it and smiled: "It's okay, tell them to throw it, as long as you still have a breath, Dao Ye and I can save you back." ”
Everyone laughed in unison again, and it was so noisy that it was in the middle of the night, and then they went to sleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Nian woke up very early and discussed with Cui Xi and others: "Although the current trading of the Flying Dragon is easy to do, it will not last long. Qingzhou is about to go to war, and it is necessary to ask for military salaries, grain and grass from Jizhou, and there will be many officers and soldiers in Jizhou by then. ”
Although Xiao Monkey is thin, he is the most courageous, and when he heard that he was going to take military salaries and grass, his eyes lit up, and he said: "If only I could rob the salaries of the officers and soldiers, I would definitely make a fortune,"
Chen Nian glanced at him when he heard this, and said coldly: "I can't swallow the fat man in one bite, just us people, now we can only get a dead word if we go to provoke officers and soldiers." ”
Since Xiao Hou'er recognized Chen Nian as a senior sister last night, she felt that it was natural to be trained by her, so she only smiled and said: "Since you can't rob the officers and soldiers, then rob some rich merchants first, and it can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor." ”
Cui Xi nodded and said: "Taking advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers are not coming, we will do two more transactions in the city in the past two days, and then we will go back to Niutou Mountain, quietly stop the movement outside and make plans." And," he stopped here, looked at Chen Nian, and said, "The gang in Hukouling are not greedy enough, and it is very likely that they will fight with the officers and soldiers, and we will be able to benefit from it at that time." ”
