Chapter 54: The Bandits
After Xiao Jingxuan left Yingzhou on horseback alone, he did not stop, and went straight day and night, spending eight days, and finally left Fanyang.
Although he left Fan Yang secretly, there are too many people who want to kill him, whether it is the domestic gate lord magnates, or the barbarians, Yan Guo, they all want to kill him quickly.
Therefore, the necessary protection needs to be done. After leaving Fan Yang, Xiao Jingxuan found a ready-to-wear shop, changed into a long shirt, and changed the way he combed his hair to cover his trademark two white hairs.
At the same time, he sold his war horse and turned his head and bought a mule to travel. In order to better hide his identity, Xiao Jingxuan bought a complete set of supplies, a schoolbag, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a fan.
After buying these things, Xiao Jingxuan did not find a place in the market to change them, but left the market and went to a secluded and uninhabited place outside the city.
After replacing these, Xiao Jingxuan's image has finally changed dramatically. Xiao Jingxuan looked at the reflection of the water, and his heart was also relieved. You must know that even if someone takes Xiao Jingxuan's portrait to chase and kill him, he may not be able to recognize it.
So, on the next journey, Xiao Jingxuan pretended to be his scholar with peace of mind and drove slowly towards Liangzhou.
Although Xiao Jingxuan's destination was Liangzhou, because the time was not so rushed, Xiao Jingxuan did not go directly to Liangzhou.
On this day, Xiao Jingxuan came to Yizhou City, found a tavern, and began to eat and drink.
The tavern, Xiao Jingxuan used to go often, probably because of the difference in mentality, he had never carefully watched all kinds of guests before.
Now that I am traveling deeply, I calm down, listen to the diners blowing nonsense, telling the shortcomings of the parents, interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and court news, and I still have a lot to go.
Especially when some diners refer to themselves, describe their own words. On the whole, the people's evaluation of themselves is still good. It's just that I don't like to get nicknames for myself. The nickname "butcher" doesn't want to match myself at all.
Just when Xiao Jingxuan was struggling with this nickname, another person came to the restaurant. A woman, a woman who looks charming.
With the arrival of this woman, the entire noisy restaurant instantly fell silent.
The crowd began to whisper about the woman. This woman is very beautiful, the key is to dress, so bold that it makes people blush.
Although in the eyes of us modern people, it is like a sundress wrapped in a light veil.
However, in Xiao Jingxuan's era, although the people were open, they were not open to this extent.
The most important thing is that this woman feels very pure, pure as a blank piece of paper.
The woman glanced at the restaurant, and after seeing that there were no vacant seats around, she walked straight towards Xiao Jingxuan.
The woman came to Xiao Jingxuan's side and said softly: "Childe, I wonder if the little girl can share a table with Childe?" ”
Xiao Jingxuan's face was slightly red, to be honest, Xiao Jingxuan still couldn't let go of talking to women, especially strange women.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If the girl doesn't mind being rude, please feel free." ”
After speaking, he began to eat with his head bored.
Looking at the stupid appearance of the man in front of her, the girl couldn't help laughing, and the silver bell-like laughter made Xiao Jingxuan a little overwhelmed, but she still endured and finished her meal.
After eating, Xiao Jingxuan hurriedly called Xiao Er, and after settling the meal, he got up and left with the bookbasket on his back.
Holding the mule, Xiao Jingxuan was annoyed as he walked, he was a general who commanded an army of more than 100,000 people, how could he be made to look like this by a little girl.
No, I'm not a chick, how can I be so unbearable. It's kitsch. Xiao Jingxuan came back to his senses. It's because of the charm that I'm so unbearable.
He was blocked by his master, and his strength was suppressed, and even his own murderous aura was suppressed unconsciously. That's why it's so unbearable.
Thinking about this, Xiao Jingxuan felt much more comfortable. After walking around the city, Xiao Jingxuan continued to set off and walked towards the outside of the city.
In the evening, when Xiao Jingxuan walked to a secluded official road, he saw more than 20 gangsters armed with steel knives coming out of the mountains and forests.
I saw this group of gangsters surrounding Xiao Jingxuan. A man who looked like a leader shouted, "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree." If you want to live from now on, leave behind to buy road money. ”
Xiao Jingxuan has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, how could he be afraid of these people, just when he was about to draw a knife to deal with these people, he suddenly found that he didn't have a knife, and then sadly remembered that his martial arts were sealed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingxuan had to whisper: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiaosheng is a traveling student, and he doesn't have any money on him, so please let me go." ”
The leader of the bandits circled around Xiao Jingxuan and said fiercely: "Traveling students, bah, this army is in chaos, how can any student dare to travel around?" I see that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, brothers, search for me. ”
So, several bandit subordinates came to Xiao Jingxuan and began to search for them.
First of all, Xiao Jingxuan's book basket, I saw that in addition to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there were a few books and a set of clothes in the book basket. Other than that, there's nothing else.
In the bags tied to the mule, there are only a few steamed buns and a water bladder. As for Xiao Jingxuan, only a dozen taels of scattered silver were found.
"The big boss, this is not a fat sheep, it may really be a poor scholar who travels."
", bad luck."
"The big boss, why don't you tie this poor acid to the cottage, or teach the dolls in the cottage a few words?" The big boss thought about it for a moment, and then stared at Xiao Jingxuan scrutinically.
"Okay, that's it, let's go, go back to the mountain."
In this way, without waiting for Xiao Jingxuan to quibble, he was pushed and shoved by this group of bandits to the bandits' lair.
is different from Xiao Jingxuan's imagination, this bandit's den is not like the cottage that Xiao Jingxuan has seen in the past.
It's just a village. It's just that this village is a little remote.
After being escorted into this village, Xiao Jingxuan began to look around.
The wooden houses in the village are scattered, and a cursory look shows that there are about 200 houses. Looking at the children playing on the road and the busy farmers in the fields, Xiao Jingxuan was a little curious, so he asked the two mountain bandits who were holding him: "Several kings, are you sure that this is a bandit's den?" ”
I saw one of them stretch out his hand and hit Xiao Jingxuan's head and said, "Can you speak, we are villagers who have formed a village to protect themselves." Where is the bandit's den. ”
Xiao Jingxuan raised his bound hands and said, "I want to believe that you are villagers, but the reality has given me a slap in the face." ”
After hearing Xiao Jingxuan's words, the man was a little embarrassed and said, "You are an accident, you are from the wilderness, you thought it was a fat sheep, but you thought it was a poor scholar." ”
At this time, another person also spoke: "Okay, you can stay here in peace, and after a while, I will let you go." ”
Xiao Jingxuan was a little speechless, did he really think he was a fool? At the beginning, he said that he would let himself teach, and it would be strange if he could let himself go in the short term, and he didn't know how much time he would have to break the meridians blocked by his master and restore his strength.
However, fortunately, these people did not make it too difficult for Xiao Jingxuan, but placed him in an empty house in the village, saying that after meeting the clan elders at night, they could teach in the village tomorrow.
This room is not bad, although it is not big, but pots and pans, sheets and covers, everything that should be there.
After walking such a long way, Xiao Jingxuan was indeed a little tired. So he lay down on the bed and rested.
However, as soon as he lay down, someone came to look for him, saying that the clan elder had invited him.
Following the comers, Xiao Jingxuan came to the largest room in the village. The house is located in the very center of the village.
After coming to the house, Xiao Jingxuan looked at the three old men sitting side by side on the first seat, which seemed to be what they called the clan elders.
Xiao Jingxuan arched his hand and said, "Xiao Shengpingzhou Jin Xuan, I have seen three clan elders. ”
I saw a clan elder at the head and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Jin Gongzi." This time, it was the younger generation in the village who was rude, and asked Mr. Jin not to blame him. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"I don't know if Mr. is willing to enlighten the children in the village, Mr. rest assured, if Mr. is unwilling, the old man can also let Mr. go down the mountain."
If only a few strong men outside the door could not draw their knives. Seeing that the clan elder in front of him was so kind-hearted, Xiao Jingxuan almost believed it.
"Xiaosheng is willing."
The patriarch was also very satisfied when he saw that the scholar in front of him was so knowledgeable.
"Sir, rest assured, all the needs of Mr. in the village will be prepared by the old decay. Although the degree of food and clothing is not as good as that outside, it will never let Mr. be wronged. ”
"Someone, send Mr. back."
After Xiao Jingxuan said goodbye, he followed the young man outside the door back to the previous room.
After resting for one night, early the next morning, the minion who escorted Xiao Jingxuan yesterday came over to inform Xiao Jingxuan to go to class.
"I don't know the name of this big brother?"
"My name is Niu Mancang, and Mr. calls me Erniu, sir, breakfast has been sent to the private school, I'll take Mr. over."
Xiao Jingxuan nodded and followed Erniu to the private school.
To Xiao Jingxuan's surprise, the private school was set up in the place where the clan elders met Xiao Jingxuan yesterday.
After arriving at the private school, the three clan elders actually greeted them at the door of the private school. I saw a clan elder at the head and said with a smile: "Sir, in the countryside, let Mr. be wronged, in the future, this is the place where Mr. teaches, if there is any naughty mischief, do not listen to Mr. teachings, please Mr. to fight to death, kill worry-free." ”
Hearing this, even if Xiao Jingxuan was captured by them, he was still quite comfortable in his heart.
"Sir will do his best."
Under the leadership of the clan elders, Xiao Jingxuan walked into the house, and the decoration of the whole room was very different from yesterday. There was a desk and a stool in the head, and there were more than 20 small tables in the hall.
In every seat sat these children, big and small. The eldest is about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one is only five or six years old.
Seeing these children sitting quietly in their places, Xiao Jingxuan nodded with satisfaction. His teaching career began.
