Chapter 114 Stagnant Water Breeze
Yin Erhu walked out of Xiuniang's half-hidden room, Xiuniang wrapped her body in a blanket and held a bulging money bag, wanting to call him, but Yin Erhu waved his hand and left.
Because it is convenient for the next person to enter, there is no need to close the door.
At this time, it was already dark, and the door of Jinchangfang had long been closed, and he couldn't get in.
Therefore, he did not leave Guangfufang, and sat on the steps of the newly built house here, looking up at the moon like a fishhook.
After sitting for a moment and feeling bored, he threw a piece of licorice into his mouth and slowly squeezed the sweetness inside.
The sweetness of licorice is not too pure, it is soft and makes people feel good.
The owner of the new house stood at the door and looked at him and said, "Can you not sit in front of my house?" ”
Yin Erhu didn't argue, he got up and sat down on the steps in front of another new house, and soon, a woman's timid voice came from behind the door.
"My husband is not here, there are only women in the family, whether Lang Jun can go to sit elsewhere and don't ruin my reputation."
Yin Erhu stood up again, patted the soil on his buttocks, looked around, and found that he had nowhere to go.
Looking at the high wall, Yin Erhu spat on the palm of his hand, ready to climb up with the help of momentum.
So, he ran a few quick steps, stomped the wall with both feet, and grabbed the wall of the square wall with both hands.
Just as he was about to lift himself up the wall with his arms, a woman said underneath, "I'm going to get caught by the bad guys." ”
Yin Erhu looked down, it turned out to be Xiu Niang, this time she was wearing clothes, fortunately, there was still a little waning moon illuminating her face.
"The guests give a lot of money, if you don't dislike it, you can stay until dawn and then go back."
Yin Erhu let go of his hand, let his body fall freely, and then stood firmly on the ground, Xiuniang didn't say much, walked in front with her head down, Yin Erhu followed behind, walking neither in a hurry nor slowly.
When I came to Xiuniang's door again, there was a drunk man guarding the door, and when I saw Xiuniang coming back, I grabbed Xiuniang's hand and said, "Where did you go?" The grandfather waited for a long time. ”
After scolding Xiuniang, he smiled at Yin Erhu and said: "Brother, come first, you have to wait, it is estimated that it will be over in one or two hours." ”
Xiuniang was pinched very tightly by the drunk man and didn't dare to struggle, like a lamb to the slaughter.
Yin Erhu's fist slammed heavily on the drunkard's stomach with the sound of the wind, and the drunkard's body immediately bent into a prawn.
Yin Erhu carried the drunk man and carefully placed it in the unique place where Guangfufang and Jinchangfang put the garbage, so that he would face his head down, so as not to choke to death by his own vomit in a coma.
Xiuniang looked at Yin Erhu in horror and said, "Chi An is very fierce, and when he wakes up tomorrow, he will kill you." ”
Yin Erhu glanced at Chi An and said, "He's very drunk, don't look like he's sober, in fact, he doesn't remember anything now." ”
Xiuniang opened the door suspiciously and let Yin Erhu in, but this time, Yin Erhu refused to enter her house, but found a big stone to sit down, and said to Xiuniang: "I have no money, just sit in the yard until dawn, if you don't do business tonight, go to sleep." ”
"You just gave a lot of money." Xiuniang whispered.
"That's the last account." Yin Erhu's voice was very flat, and he couldn't hear the change in tone.
Looking at the moon is one of Yin Erhu's hobbies on weekdays, Xiuniang saw that Yin Erhu ignored her, so she carefully entered the house, originally wanted to close the door of the house, but for some reason opened a crack, and said to Yin Erhu: "If you feel cold, come in." ”
The air in Guangfufang is not good, and it is not even as good as Jinchangfang, which is full of people, mainly because of the trees in Jinchangfang, there are too many bamboo forests, and there are few trees in Guangfufang.
When the moon is very round, it is impossible to find the rest of the stars around it, and only when the crescent moon is like a hook, will you find that there is actually a very bright, very bright star around it.
Yin Erhu stared at the star for a long time, and finally simply closed his eyes and tried to calm down his trembling hands.
The master said that there would be a fierce battle the day after tomorrow, killing everyone who could kill and not fall into the hands of the enemy.
For such an order, Yin Erhu didn't feel anything wrong, in the past two and a half years, the master had indeed treated himself very well.
At least they are better than those in the army, they are not short of money and food, they have no worries about food and clothing, but they are very boring.
Yin Erhu knew that he might be wrong, because he didn't have any other thoughts except that he wanted to fight.
Although he didn't know who the enemy would be the day after tomorrow, Yin Erhu still hoped that the day after tomorrow would come early.
As for who he wanted to kill, he really didn't think it mattered, and two and a half years of support was worth risking his life to do anything.
Just when Yin Erhu was faintly impatient, the door of the house opened again, and Xiuniang walked out with a boss pottery bowl.
"I made some soup cakes, would you like to eat some?"
Yin Erhu smelled a sour aroma, this is the soup cake method in the Jinchangfang canteen, however, people don't call it soup cake, it is called sour soup noodles.
He took the big bowl, and the bowl was filled with a lot of noodles, and it was covered with a layer of green garlic, which tasted good, but there were very few diced meat on it.
Xiuniang saw that Yin Erhu began to eat, so she smiled and said: "I went to Jinchangfang to pass the servant woman exam, but as a result, the cook said that the soup cake I made was not good and was not selected." ”
Yin Erhu paused and said: "Don't listen to that mother-in-law's nonsense, she wants to stuff her relatives into it to be a cook, you will naturally lose the election, your soup cakes are very good, enough to go to the big canteen to be a cook." ”
Xiuniang was a little surprised when she heard Yin Erhu's words, and said happily: "Really? ”
Yin Erhu took another bite of noodles and said: "Really, the noodles in the big canteen are all supported by oil and water, and in terms of taste, they are far worse than the soup cakes you made." ”
Xiuniang squatted down with a smile and looked up at Yin Erhu who was eating, and said, "Nonsense, how can I compare with the cook in the big canteen." ”
Yin Erhu shook his head and said, "I eat in the big canteen every day, how can I not know?" ”
Xiuniang said enviously: "You eat every day?" ”
Yin Erhu thought for a while, took out three bamboo chips from his arms and handed them to Xiuniang and said, "You can go to the Jinchangfang Canteen tomorrow to try, you can eat a lot of things with one bamboo chip, just try it." ”
Xiuniang took this oily and slippery bamboo chip, looked at it again and again, and finally said suspiciously: "I heard that the emperor often goes to Jinchangfang, and the nobles often go, so people like me can also go to Jinchangfang?" ”
Yin Erhu said with a smile: "If you have two pennies and throw them in the iron box at the door, you can swagger in."
Of course, if you don't want to pay two cents, you can pretend to be a beggar and you can go in, and you can eat the leftovers of the guests, and the taste is not bad, and the most important thing is that the oil and water are very sufficient, and one meal can be full for three days. ”
Xiuniang said angrily: "I said nonsense, whose kitchen will give good food to beggars." ”
Yin Erhu smiled and said: "Really, I have eaten it, the cook may have seen that I was stout, so she gave me a bowl of noodles, and there was half of the fat meat that the guests had bitten, you don't know, the fat meat was cooked fragrant and glutinous, and the tongue melted the meat as soon as I took a sip, and I can't figure it out until now, some people will lose such good meat." ”
"You don't look like a beggar......"
"Three years ago, I had a serious illness, and my family was afraid that I would pass on the disease, so they threw me into a mass grave, where I confronted a wolf for three days, and I came back to life.
Slowly climbed down the mass grave, mixed with the beggars for two months, and the body has been in a panic, so I went to the back kitchen of the big canteen to beg for food, but I didn't expect that it was the leftovers in the big canteen, which made me raise my body back. ”
"Are you still a beggar?"
"No, now do something else."
Before he knew it, Yin Erhu finished eating a big bowl of noodles, and when he returned the empty bowl to Xiuniang, he realized that this might be the only bowl of rice in the family.
Xiuniang smiled: "I eat a small amount, I don't eat and I don't care, I can talk to you more, it's better than eating." ”
"Didn't anyone talk to you?"
"My grandmother passed away, and after my brother joined the army, I did what I do now, and no one is willing to talk to me well.
They don't talk to me or don't care, I am now looking forward to the day when Jinchangfang will tear down this small courtyard of my house and replace it with a two-story small building for me, so that when my brother comes back from the Western Regions, I can marry a wife and have children.
At that time, I will stop doing my current livelihood and take care of my brother's children. ”
Yin Erhu was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Your brother is a soldier in that Zhichong Mansion?" ”
"Qizhou Zhichong Mansion, oh, he is not a government soldier, tell me when you leave, let me wait for him to come back, and when the time comes, after making military achievements, I can get a dowry for the past."
Yin Erhu lowered his head and listened to Xiuniang squeaking and talking to him, he knew that Xiuniang's younger brother Bacheng would not be able to come back, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian They fought a big battle with Ashina Helu in the Green Ridge, I heard that the battle was extremely tragic, and the Qizhou Zhichong Mansion was under the command of the general manager of the march in the Green Ridge.
"Hehe, when your brother comes back, you can get married."
"Will anyone like me want it? As long as my brother doesn't dislike it, I will follow him for the rest of my life.
When the time comes, he will definitely give birth to many, many children, and I will help them take care of the children and cook, and the two of them will work hard to make money, and they will never live such a hard life again. ”
Yin Erhu couldn't figure it out himself, he didn't bother to say a word on weekdays, but he could talk to a prostitute who was half-closed all night......
At dawn, when he walked out of the door of Xiuniang's house, he found that Chi An had woken up, was tearing off his shirt, and was in a daze looking at a clear fist mark on his stomach.
So, Yin Erhu stepped forward again, grabbed Chi An's collar, exerted all his strength, and punched Chi An's stomach seven or eight times in a row.
It wasn't until Chi An began to vomit blood in his mouth and had obvious signs of internal injuries that he let go of his hand and looked at Chi An who had fallen to the ground softly, feeling that he would have to lie on the bed for at least a month or two before he could get up.
Only then did he leave Guangfufang with confidence.
After going back this time, he felt that he still had to make more preparations, and not die in this battle arranged by his master.
That woman is really pitiful, I don't know if my brother died in battle, I have a chance, it's good to come and chat with her again.
