Chapter 3 In the blink of an eye
The calculation of the Mao family's manor, Ye Chu didn't know. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info A few days later, early in the morning, Ye Chu packed up the wild things he had brought in the past few days and prepared to pick them up and sell them at the bottom of the mountain.
Longitudinal Cliff Mountain is located in the southern Xinjiang of Xia Kingdom, bordering the Great Shang Kingdom in the south, and the southeast of the Great Zhou Kingdom in the west is also very close, Yazhou City is located in the traffic artery fifty miles away from the mountain, it is the hub connecting the three countries, the business travel is endless, and the surrounding small towns are also very prosperous.
What Ye Chu was going to was not Yazhou City, but the nearest town under the mountain, called Panshanji.
Because of the proximity to the mountains, the people in the town are relatively simple, and there are few tricks to deceive people by touching porcelain, and every fifth or tenth day of the month, there is a market on the side, and people from more than a dozen villages around them come here to trade and exchange ideas.
Since three years ago, Ye Chu would pick up his prey here every once in a while and sell it for money to buy some things necessary for life.
Every time he came here, Ye Chu's mood was very happy.
"Brother Ye, what kind of prey did you hunt today?" A lady greeted Ye Chu with a smile with a basin of clothes.
"Aunt Chen, you are early, I caught a snake two days ago, the snake is not small, I will keep it for you later, Uncle Chen's rheumatism should be able to ease. ”
"Thank you, Brother Ye. ”
"Brother Ye, did you have the bear bile I ordered for you a few days ago?"
"Doctor Hua, can I forget what you ordered? I searched for more than a month before I found an old bear, and I will send the bear bile later. ”
"Brother Ye is really a believer!"
"Dr. Chen has won the award. ”
Ye Chu chatted with the people he met along the way, and seemed very familiar, in fact, the people in the town were very simple, and when they got the mountain goods given by Ye Chu, they were all exchanged for the accumulated silver taels or precious medicines.
There is a small noodle stall on the side of the road, although it is not a big car shop, but the market is located, there are many merchants who come and go, and some men who drive the car stop here and talk about some things in the south and north of the world.
After Ye Chu finished selling the mountain goods, he sat down on the stall, first, to eat something to satisfy his hunger, and secondly, to learn some about the market of this world from these knowledgeable pedestrians. After all, I have been in this world for a long time, and I have learned the ability to kill bears and tigers, but because of the small range of activities, I am still in a state of blackness to the world.
The man who was driving the car, Datian, finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and began to croak.
Wang Datian and several other men who eat noodles are all locals, and they each have a big car that is not shabby, and they carry goods to several shops in the town every day, from Panshanji to Yazhou, and then from Yazhou back to Panshanji, during which they also pull people and luggage, they are considered to be brains and insightful characters in small villages and towns.
It's just that today's Wang Datian's tone is a little low: "To say that our Yazhou has been peaceful for 30 years, but it has not stopped in the past two years. I heard that half a month ago, fifty miles east of Yazhou City, was washed by the mountain kings of the Tiger Village, it was really miserable! The robbers killed this day burned, killed, humiliated and plundered, and did all kinds of evil!"
A man next to him said: "I also heard that two months ago, the blister in the southeast of Yazhou was robbed by the mountain king of Menghu Village seven or eight villages, and the local big family Tong Lu's house was looted, and it is said that none of the men of the Tong family survived, and the daughter-in-law and girl were all robbed up the mountain." ”
"I also heard that we Panshanji along the mountain road to the north twenty miles, isn't there a Mao Da Man, and Yazhou government drank a meal, and bought the Tong family's fields, Mao Da Mao will soon become Mao Banzhou. ”
"Oh, that old man Mao also dares to go there to buy land, not afraid of being remembered by the kings of Tiger Village?"
"Hehe, Master Mao has such a good relationship with the lords of the government, how good it would be to let them send troops to suppress the bandits. ”
"Hmph! I see that the officers and soldiers of Yazhou City are busy trading with the merchants of the Great Merchants and Great Zhou, where do they have time to suppress the bandits? Anyway, the bandits do not dare to attack Yazhou City. ”
Ye Chu listened to everyone chatting while eating, his eyes moved, and he didn't say anything. But I heard someone asking Wang Datian: "Brother Datian, now that the world is not peaceful, there is a robbery by the king of the mountain, do you still dare to do this business of driving a big car? Are you not afraid of being robbed in the middle of the road?"
Wang Datian said with a smile: "I'm afraid of a ball, that tiger village is fifty miles east of Yazhou, we are in the west of Yazhou, that cottage doesn't go to loot other places, run to us here to grab money?"
"Haha......"
A man next to him who was also driving the car smiled and said: "Brother Ye, I see that you are not young anymore, don't hunt in the mountains all day long, it is better to follow us to catch the car, accumulate some belongings, and marry a daughter-in-law." Hahaha. ”
Ye Chu smiled, and before he could answer, there was another humane: "That's right, Brother Ye also thinks about it, you see that the old hunter who adopted you, Uncle Liu Boqin, has been hunting all his life, and he has also been a bachelor all his life, your little brother Ye is young, you have to come out early to see the world, otherwise you will have a good look, and there will be no big girl and little daughter-in-law who will take a fancy to you, hahaha......"
"Brother Chen, you recruited Brother Ye like this, isn't it that Sister-in-law Chen just gave birth to a girl for you, you won't think about recruiting a son-in-law now, right?"
"Haha......"
Ye Chu didn't say much, everyone thought that the young man was wooden, and they didn't care, everyone was laughing, and some people wanted to continue to laugh, and suddenly a little girl dressed plainly with a ponytail came from the direction of the town gate, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a weak figure, but her mouth was bright, and she was still a few feet away from the stall, so she shouted there: "Uncle Wang, your clothes are ready." ”
It was Wang Datian who responded, and when he saw the little girl calling him, he smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Xiaoru, my clothes are ready so quickly." ”
Miss Xiaoru handed over her clothes and said, "Yes, look at it." ”
That Wang Datian wiped his hand on his body, then took the clothes, looked at them carefully, and praised: "Not bad, not bad, this dress is really good." ”
Xiaoru said: "Uncle Wang is polite, if you like it, just look for my family to make shirts in the future, everyone is a neighbor, and the price will definitely be cheaper." ”
Wang Datian nodded again and again: "That has to be, that has to be." ”
Xiao Ru paused, turned around and half, as if he had just noticed that Ye Chu was also there, his voice suddenly became less loud, and he said softly: "Ah, Brother Achu is also there." ”
The voice changed a little quickly, but Ye Chu was stunned for a moment, and the people around him were also surprised, but everyone was used to going south and north, and they didn't understand Xiao Ru's performance, not only smiled, but some people glanced at Lao Chen and laughed.
Ye Chu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I'm here too." ”
Xiao Ru also immediately noticed the clothes on Ye Chu's body, and said, "Brother Achu, your clothes are a little torn, people will sew them for you." ”
Xiao Ru is thin and small, looks ordinary, and has a few freckles on her nose, but her eyes are surprisingly big, crystal clear, like black gems, staring at Ye Chu's clothes at this time, like a cat staring at a fish, she has already reached out and grabbed Ye Chu's clothes, and said softly: "Brother Achu hunts hard, and I don't know if my clothes are dirty, if you don't take them off, I'll take them back and wash them for you." ”
Although it was a girl's family, the tone of his voice was very resolute, and he had already begun to stretch out his hand to widen his clothes, Ye Chu was shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay! Miss Xiaoru, don't be too polite, I'm ...... My clothes were just washed yesterday, and I don't have to wear them when I take them off. ”
Xiao Ru blinked with a pair of big eyes, and Yin Yin instructed: "Brother Achu, although you hunt in the mountains all day, you can't only have one set of clothes, so let's go home with me, and I will help you measure your body and make you a new set of clothes." ”
Yesterday, in the face of dozens of big men, Ye Chu was not afraid at all, and he was laughed at by a few acquaintances just now, and Ye Chu didn't care. This will face a little girl who is thin and can only sew clothes, Ye Chu was in a hurry, sweat flowed down his face, he was very embarrassed, and said: "Thank you Miss Xiaoru, thank you so much, that ...... I don't need to buy new clothes yet, and when I want to make clothes, I'll ask you for help......"
At this time, Ye Chu was at a loss, but a few men he knew around him coaxed there:
"Brother Ye, Miss Xiaoru, what else do you want to do?"
"That's right, Aunt Tong has a good handiwork, and Xiaoru has also been good at needlework since she was a child, so you might as well be a door-to-door son-in-law. ”
"Yes, hunting in the mountains all day long, and when I come back, I have to cook by myself, with Xiaoru, there are people who know the pain and warmth!"
"Could it be that I'm really waiting for Lao Chen's daughter to grow up, then it will take eighteen years. ”
Everyone laughed, and Xiao Ru's face was as red as a peach blossom, and her big eyes were like water droplets, and she paused in embarrassment: "Oh, what nonsense are you talking about, people ignore you." As he spoke, he covered his face and ran away.
Looking at the girl's escape, louder laughter came from the stall.
Wang Datian looked at Ye Chu with a smile and said, "Brother Ye, it seems that you are hiding it well......"
"Brother Ye is not simple. ”
"Haha, Lao Chen, you're a step too late!"
At this moment, the dishes and chopsticks on the stall suddenly "bell-bell" vibrate, and then everyone noticed that the ground under their feet also shook slightly, and there seemed to be some sound in their ears.
Someone subconsciously muttered: "Isn't it a dragon......"
Before he could finish speaking, someone shouted at the corner of the street: "The robbers are coming!"
Ye Chu was slightly startled in his heart, and immediately turned his head to look, only to see a group of people riding high-headed horses, waving weapons in their hands, rushing in, and in a blink of an eye, they were dozens of zhang away.
The leader waved the long knife in his hand, and a loud voice behind him shouted: "The uncles are from the Tiger Village, and those who want to live should be honest!"
At this time, Aunt Chen, who had just finished washing her clothes, was standing on the street, watching a murderous group of people rushing towards her, how could the woman endure it, her hand was loosened, the basin fell to the ground, her face was pale, and she shouted in a loud voice: "Ah......"
The bandit leader didn't say a word, and with a wave of his long knife, blood flashed!
"Ah......h
Aunt Chen's screams stopped abruptly, a human head flew into the air, the blood spurted out of the cavity splashed into a cloud of blood mist, the leader brandished a bloody knife, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Whoever dares to stand in the way, I will kill whoever comes!"
The scene is quiet!
Then a sad and indignant cry came from the side of the street: "Mother!"
A man in his twenties immediately rushed out, with red eyes, and shouted: "You bandits, I will fight with you...... Ahh
The leader did not wait for him to finish, but galloped his horse, and with a wave of his long knife, he cut off the man's head!
"The second master is mighty!"
"Two masters are good at swordsmanship!"
"Tiger Village Weizhen Yazhou!"
"We in the Tiger Village only rob money, not kill people! But if there is any obstruction, we will all cut it down!"
"Lie down all of them, and kill those who dare to stand up!"
"Lie down and hold your head in your hands, and kill anyone who moves!"
With the arrogant shouts of a group of robbers, the robbers dismounted and rushed into the shops on both sides, and suddenly there was the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, the cries of women and children, and the sound of complacent laughter.
And the leader did not stop, rushed forward for dozens of feet, stopped in front of the noodle stall, did not wait for the few horses who came behind him to speak, he had already raised the steel knife, pointed at the crowd and drank: "Hand over all the money, or you will die......"
As soon as the words fell, the leader only felt a very harsh and extremely familiar voice ringing in his ears, and it seemed that someone shook it in front of him, and then it was as usual.
The leader was stunned, and quickly looked at it, and vaguely felt that there was a young man sitting in the corner of the stall just now, but he was missing at this moment.
He hurriedly turned his head to ask his subordinates who came with him, but when he turned his head, his head slipped off his neck, and the blood in his neck spurted out like a fountain.
It wasn't until his head hit the ground, and his world was about to fall into darkness, that the sound of his brother's ghost crying wolf seemed to come to his ears, and the leader understood, "That sound is the sound of a blade cutting through a man's head." ”
