Chapter Eighty-Four: The Willow Whip Produces a Filial Son
Sure enough, as Wang Su expected, Old Man Chen didn't wake up at all, but because of Ergou's quilt, he woke up alive.
Old Man Chen fell asleep, sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were all soaked with sweat.
As soon as the old man Chen woke up, he didn't need to guess, he directly pulled out a willow branch of the old Chen family's ancestor, chased the two dogs all over the yard and beat them, making the two dogs hug their heads and beg for mercy again and again.
If you want to talk about this willow branch, it has a history.
Don't say it's the second dog, it's the second dog's father, and he was also smoked by Old Man Chen with this willow branch back then.
This willow branch, on the top ......
Well, you can't hit it, but it's no problem to draw unfilial children and grandchildren.
Pull down with this willow branch, and it crackles, until the skin of those little rabbit cubs like Ergou blooms, and the buttocks are split into four petals, but it does not hurt the muscles and bones.
It can be described as a family heirloom for home travel, a must-have on a rainy day (hitting the kids on a rainy day - idle is idle).
cough cough cough ......
Getting back to the point, after Old Man Chen taught Ergou a lesson, he gasped and lay down on the Taishi's chair to rest.
This little rabbit cub is really not worry-free, I am busy making money all day long, and I want him to buy Nalaosh Ziyue Hanjin to make clothes, so that he can go to school in the cold study.
But he's good, he can't let out a good fart all day long, and he knows how angry he is every day......
The more Old Man Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, he raised the willow branch in his hand, and made a gesture to smoke the little rabbit cub of Ergou.
But when he looked up, the second dog was already covering his buttocks, and he was beaten to tears, thinking that after all, he was still his own grandson, so he couldn't bear it anymore, sighed, and put the heirloom willow branch back, and most of the anger in his stomach was gone.
Seeing this, Wang Su knew that Old Man Chen's anger had been extinguished, so he secretly gave Ergou a look and asked him to get out of the way first.
Ergou is now in a good position, and he will come to something, seeing that Wang Su gave him a look, he secretly glanced at Old Man Chen, seized the opportunity, lifted his pants and ran away.
Seeing that Old Man Chen and Wang Su were stunned, this striding like a fly, if it weren't for Wang Su seeing Old Man Chen beat the two dogs with his own eyes just now, he couldn't believe that this stinky little ghost was injured.
It's still a light fight.
This thought flashed through Old Man Chen's minds and Wang Su at the same time.
This little bunny (stinky little ghost)!
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Ahem, cough, ,,,,,,"
Old Man Chen laughed so hard that he coughed, Wang Su hurriedly stroked his back and gave him relief, and after a while, Old Man Chen waved his hand, signaling that he was fine.
When Wang Su came back, he didn't see the so-called Yue Hanjin at home, so he asked curiously, "Uncle Chen, didn't you go into the city to buy cloth today?" How did you come back empty-handed? But the city is running out of cloth? ”
Old Man Chen was fanning the grass fan, and he was beaten by the second dog just now, but he really chased him hot, he waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it." After I entered the city, I heard that there seemed to be a fight in the north somehow, and it was very chaotic! ”
"Northside?" Wang Su frowned and asked.
Old Man Chen said: "Listen to the defenders of the city, some Jianghu sects in the north have started to fight and kill again. Alas, I really don't know what to fight. Xiao Wang, I know that you are also running the rivers and lakes. You call me an uncle, then I will be a big one, you listen to Uncle Chen's advice, it's better to find a serious job to do it, don't kill all day long, lest it be later...... Alas......"
Halfway through his words, Old Man Chen seemed to think of something sad, sighed and stopped talking.
Wang Su knew that Old Man Chen was also for his own good, but Wang Su didn't listen to his persuasion.
He understands the truth, but once he enters the rivers and lakes, how can he get out of the rivers and lakes?
It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out.
Wang Su was a little helpless, so he could only respond to Old Man Chen's kindness with a smile, and then he began to think about what Old Man Chen heard about the north of Yongzhou.
North?
The first thing that came to Wang Su's mind was Tianwu Pavilion.
Chaos in the north? Could it be that Tianwu Pavilion has any actions?
I felt that something was wrong when Tianwu Pavilion didn't chase me anymore, could it be that it had something to do with this matter?
But what could make Tianwu Pavilion mess up the entire northern part of Yongzhou?
Attack those small sects and expand their power?
Not quite right.
With the power of Tianwu Pavilion, if those small sects and small sects meet them, it will be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and they will only be crushed, where will they make such a big move?
Wang Su's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered what Miss Xueqing said before.
At that time, Wang Su was struggling to deal with Song Shan, so he wanted to borrow some manpower from Miss Xueqing, or the embroidery department.
At that time, Miss Xueqing said, "There is no one." Needless to say, the hidden stakes everywhere and those clerical jobs will certainly not be lent to you. And those embroidered clothesmen, there has been a big case recently, don't say that this small Xiluo City, that is, the embroidery clothes in Yongzhou have been transferred. Therefore, at the moment, there is no spare manpower that can be borrowed. ”
Big case......
Wang Su frowned slightly, could it be that Tianwu Pavilion and the Embroidery Division were fighting?
One is the most powerful Jianghu sect in Yongzhou, and the other is the imperial court yamen with eyes and ears all over the world.
On the boundary of Yongzhou, I'm afraid that only the fight between the two forces here can make the entire northern part of Yongzhou chaotic, right?
The more Wang Su thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but there was no more evidence to prove his guesses, and the basis for his speculation was still from Old Man Chen's hearsay.
I'll have to find a way to inquire. Wang Su thought secretly in his heart.
If you conclude a guess just because of Old Man Chen's one-sided words, it is a bit too reckless.
Wang Su shook his head with a smile, put these speculations about the north of Yongzhou behind him for the time being, and left it for later, he asked back the question just now.
"Uncle Chen, you haven't said anything about cloth yet."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Old Man Chen patted his head and said, "It's far away." The shopkeeper who sold the cloth also said that now that the north is in chaos, their family's Laoshi Ziyue Hanjin is transported from Taiyuan to Pingtong, so the road is closed, and the freight does not come in, so the price of this cloth has gone up. ”
After hearing this, Wang Su also felt his taste and asked, "So he has risen a lot, and you don't bring enough money?" ”
Old Man Chen sighed and said, "Yes, he has risen directly to two taels of silver, where do I have so much money to buy this cloth." ”
Wang Su said: "I still have some money here, do you think you should take it to the emergency first?" ”
After Wang Su finished speaking, he was afraid that Old Man Chen would be embarrassed to take money from him, so he added: "You can pay me back in two days." ”
In fact, Wang Su also knew that the shopkeeper was just maliciously raising prices, which was nothing more than seeing that Old Man Chen was honest and wanted to squeeze more oil and water out of him.
This kind of villain, Wang Su, doesn't have a very good way to deal with him.
I don't have any acquaintances here, so I can't warn the other party by relying on relationships, and I can't come to the door with my sword, right?
Is it true that the embroidery division eats dry rice?
Although the main attention of the Embroidery Division at the moment is still focused on Qin Nuxiu, who is holding the Lu Shen Knife, if he really carries a sword and wanders in Pingtong City, according to the efficiency of the Embroidery Division, he will be surrounded by the embroidered clothes Lang who stayed in Pingtong City in less than a quarter of an hour.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
So Wang Su still thought about giving more money directly, and he didn't have no money, the shopkeeper who sold the cloth was just a little greedy for money, and it wasn't a big crime.
Old Man Chen smiled, waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wang's money should be kept for himself." I met a cheaper one. ”
"Huh?" Wang Su asked curiously.
Old man Chen said with a smile: "I met someone when I got out of the cloth shop, and the doll in that person's house was also studying in the cold study, he said that when he was in school, he bought an extra horse, and he kept it at home and didn't have time to make clothes, so he sold it to me at a low price." Hey, it's cheaper than the original price, just one or two pieces of silver. ”
Wang Su had a little more eyes and asked, "It's not a liar or something, right?" ”
Old Man Chen said with a smile: "No, everyone has said that I will go tomorrow and deliver the goods with one hand, what other liars can there be?" ”
Hearing Old Man Chen say this, Wang Su was also relieved, but he still asked, "Why don't I accompany you to the city tomorrow?" ”
"No, you just watch the second dog at home. I'm not that old, and I can still walk in just a few steps. ”
Wang Su nodded, and for the sake of safety, he still reminded: "When you go to buy cloth, don't follow others to any small alleys, just trade on the street." ”
Wang Su said this, what he prevented was that the other party wanted to deceive Old Man Chen into a small alley where there was no one, and then robbed the money and fled.
There are a lot of people like this, don't say that this small city in Yongzhou is peaceful, even Tianjing.
When Wang Su was still working as an embroiderer at the headquarters of the Tianjing Embroidery Division, he could see several times a day.
However, at that time, this kind of person was also easy to deal with, although it was not within the scope of the responsibility of the embroidery department, but Wang Su encountered it, so he tied up the other party and handed it over to the nearby patrol catcher.
Generally, only some hairy thieves who have no martial arts will do this kind of thing.
Where can a master of the Eight Classics look up to this bit of silver?
"Don't worry." Old Man Chen's face was relaxed, without the slightest worry.
Wang Su actually mentioned it in passing, after all, Old Man Chen was dressed in tatters, and his body was either mud or dust.
Chapped lips, dark and rough skin, and some clumpy, dirty hair, others can tell that they don't have any money.
If there is really any little thief who doesn't have long eyes and hits Old Man Chen's idea, then he is really a stupid thief.
Wang Su thought in his heart.
