Chapter 5 The contract is a paper to sell the slave body
Meng Yishan walked with Yun Ao for several days and arrived at the Mengjin ferry of the Yellow River.
The autumn wind blows Mengjintou, and immediately watch the water flow by the sand.
The rushing water of the Yellow River whistles through the turbid yellow sediment. Legend has it that King Wu of Zhou once crossed the river here in the past and went north to destroy the merchants. When I got here, I was already close to Luoyang City.
The flow of cars, horses and people on the shore is like weaving a net, which is a prosperous atmosphere in the world.
Meng Yishan, who was carrying silver on his waist along the way, was generous, the hotel was sharp, the best guest rooms, drinking wine and eating meat, the most expensive wine and food, and entertained the old man Yun Ao very thoughtfully.
At Meng Yishan's age, learning martial arts is a difficult entry, and Yun Ao's martial arts skills are simple and straightforward, which is really suitable for laymen.
It is best to practice boneless soft boxing once in the early morning and once at midnight, and the practice twice a day is the most effective.
Suffering from this tendon shrinkage every day, it is still superimposed, Meng Yishan really wants to die, he has to stop practicing, and he feels that all the pain he suffered before is not in vain, and the thief who has his own ruthlessness has survived, and even Yun Ao secretly praised his character for being a man.
It was noon on this day, the weather was still warm, and the prosperous ferry port was full of all kinds of industries, pastries and snacks, raw fish, fortune telling, and local fresh goods made an official road very lively.
"Come and buy it! Jumping Yellow River carp"
"It's good to live first, a fire with gold, a good pair of monkey bones."
"A big bowl of ravioli, three pennies."
In the chaotic shouting, a few three-character scriptures suddenly came out, and looking for the sound, a tall man with a face was scolding, it was the master of Meng Dazhai.
When he arrived at this Mengjindu, because Yun Ao's clothes were eye-catching, he stayed in the inn, and he came out to buy food, and arranged to hire a boat to cross the river.
The owner of the big village found a few porters dressed up and squatting on the shore waiting for idlers.
"Hey! Let me ask you, why is there no boat at this Yellow River crossing! ”
Seeing the lord of the big village who had been deceived by the fierce gods, those men were frightened. At first glance, this is a strong man who is not easy to mess with. One of them hastened to reply:
"This uncle doesn't know that it is King Yi Chitose who has returned to his home, and officials and people on both sides of the strait are prohibited from passing, and the river has been closed for half a day."
Meng Yishan nodded to thank him, and muttered in his heart: "What a bird king, so arrogant!" ”
Yiwang Zhu Zhanlong sealed Luoyang, or the uncle of today's Jingtai Emperor, and in the mouth of the lord of Dazhai, he is the king of birds.
At this time, not only the river was closed, but the coast was already covered with guards from the Yiwang Palace, and the martial arts characters with swords and swords were not allowed to exist.
The sound of horns, gongs and drums opened the way, and several of the pioneer official ships of the Yiwang Mansion had already opened on the river, and the huge building ships with painted and carved beams were blocked on half of the river, and the deck was full of tiger soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets and holding swords and honor guards. Each of these large ships crosses the river with a hundred men who are bare-backed, shirtless, bent over, with ropes on their shoulders and shouting trumpets in their mouths. Slowly pulling the big boat to climb the port.
The lord of the village took a sip at the official ship, and he didn't know how long the fleet would take, so he bought a small urn of soju and a few colors of lotus leaf wrapped meat, and prepared to go back to have lunch with Yun Ao Laohan.
Not far away from carrying food, I saw a circle of people in front of me, and I vaguely heard something "pitiful...... It's so bitter! The sound of discussion.
The owner of the big village, who was greedy for novelty, picked up everyone, squeezed in to take a look, and saw a young beggar with a beautiful face, with rags and hair, a straw mark on her head, sitting on the bank covered in mud, looking at the river with blank eyes. There was a piece of paper on which I wrote on the ground in front of my feet.
Meng Yishan stared, looked at the handwriting on the paper, and saw a beautiful block script saying:
The little woman Yanshi passed away, her father was a local talent, because of her mother's illness to borrow twenty taels of silver from the county Gu Dahu, and now her parents are dead, unable to bury her, ask for benevolence and kindness, bury my parents, pay off debts, the little woman is willing to sell herself to her benefactor, as a slave and a maid, regardless of it.
The martyr girl wept blood for a hundred years.
"Sell yourself to bury your father!" The lord of the village shouted.
"Yes! Sell yourself to bury your parents. O filial daughter! A kind old man said.
An idle man smiled at the old man and said: "Wang Laoshi, you burn incense and worship the Buddha every day, why don't you show mercy and buy him back as a wife, maybe the old tree will bloom new flowers and give you a fat doll!" ”
"Haha! Oh, yes! You see that she is pitiful, Wang Laoshi will buy him back! The crowd laughed.
The old man's face was flushed with shame and trembled with anger.
Everyone was greedy to see the excitement, but they didn't know that the female beggar's eyes were shining, but it was a flash and hidden, if the connoisseur saw it, he knew that it was a sign of profound internal strength.
At this time, a half-aged with inferior incense powder on her face squeezed over and scolded the idler:
"Don't be ashamed of his mother, on weekdays, when Wang honestly arrives at my mother's yard, it is half a few pennies, even if he sells his Liuzhou coffin, he can't afford such an expensive wife."
The old stepped forward, looked at the female beggar twice, and sighed: "In this world, don't let people live, who will buy you for twenty taels within a hundred miles?" That's right, you can buy four Yahuan at this price, good girl, you listen to my mother Liu, I'll pay five taels, you take it to pay off the interest, delay it for a while, go to my Liuxiang Academy for two years, and you will pay off your debts, wear gold and silver! ”
Just like she didn't hear the words of Mother Liu in the Liuxiang Courtyard, the female beggar still looked at the river motionlessly, stunned! Mother Liu spoke twice, and when she saw that the female beggar didn't even pay attention to it, she was ashamed, and scolded the female beggar: "You are a rotten thing that no one wants to pick up customers, dare to snub your old mother, it's really a cheap thing to clean up." ”
Liu's mother in the Liuxiang Courtyard is also a luxury figure in the left and near, and she will call the accompanying thugs to forcibly plunder people.
But he didn't expect that he had already annoyed the owner of Meng Dazhai on the side, and shouted, "Old pig and dog!" The kick of the stepped forward ping-pong was like a meteor daring to the moon, kicking the bustard mother flat and flying more than two feet away, and slapped the brothel thug who stepped forward to do it to the ground, making the onlookers look stupid.
Mother Liu kicked and vomited blood, and just said in a daze: "...... Who kicked the old lady? Seeing Meng Yishan wanting to come over and continue to beat her, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and slipped into the crowd!
Meng Yishan nodded with satisfaction, then walked up to the female beggar and shouted, "That woman, raise your head." What's your name?"
"Li Qing," the little beggar whispered. When I looked up, I saw a tall and vicious scar-faced man stop in front of him! I heard Lao Meng say: "Even if your father and mother die, there is nowhere to go, Lao Tzu will buy you." ”
Lao Meng thought that he would have to find a place to live after entering Luoyang City, and he and Yun Ao also needed someone to serve him, and this woman who sold herself to bury her father knew how to read. I don't have relatives yet, so it's appropriate to buy her back to be a ring.
Lao Meng took out twenty taels from his waist and slapped them directly in the hands of the little beggar.
Li Qing was a little speechless, in order to find out about King Yi's behavior, she disguised herself and sold herself, and opened a sky-high price of twenty taels of silver, and someone wanted to buy it.
The world is difficult, twenty taels is enough for a few small people to spend for many years, and the brothel boss Liu's mother only wants to sell without capital, and it is only Lao Meng, a thief who does not produce and specializes in making a windfall, is willing to throw money to buy a woman.
Seeing that the woman didn't move, the owner of the village stepped forward and pulled it, but just stretched out his hand but felt that something was wrong, and put it down again. came to the hexagram stall next to him to write letters, dragged Mr. Divination and walked back, saying, "Reckless! You have to make a contract. ”
"Yanshi Li Qing, twenty taels of silver were sold to Master Meng Yishan as a slave, and this is based on this, and it must not be destroyed!"
This time, Li Qing was a little panicked, he came in disguise to find out about King Yi's behavior, and he couldn't reveal his identity to do it, did he really let this villain buy it? ”
Worried about the hidden palace guards around, Li Qing didn't want to make a move on Meng Yishan, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Bear with it first, leave here safely and then wait for the opportunity to clean up this guy." ”
Helplessly, he signed his name casually, and Meng Yishan grabbed Wang Laoshi, who was watching the excitement, as a middleman, and also signed his name, so Meng Yishan's twenty taels of silver bought a maidservant girl and led her back.
Along the way, he also taught some rules, "Master Meng is going to Luoyang to do business, you bought it with twenty taels of money, don't be lazy, you have to serve me and Old Man Yun well, there are benefits for you." ”
Li Qing said secretly: "He also went to Luoyang?" You can take the opportunity to act as a maidservant. Showing a soft and docile little jasper appearance of the daughter of a talented family, she silently followed behind Meng Yishan.
When he arrived at the door of the inn, Meng Dazhai's impulsive heart also faded, and he regretted it a little: "If you want to say that you want to buy a girl ring for twenty taels, you won't be laughed to death by Old Man Yun." ”
He told Li Qing: "Remember! After entering the house for a while, if Old Man Yun asked, he would say that he bought you for two taels of silver. ”
After entering the house, Meng Yishan said to Yun Ao, who was recuperating: "Old man, I bought a maid ring for two taels of silver, and called me to serve you." ”
Yun Ao saw that Meng Yishan had brought a woman back, glanced at it, nodded, and didn't speak, he was the master of Dong in Miaojiang, and there were a group of slaves in the family, and it was very common to buy and sell servants.
That Li Qing was secretly frightened in his heart, and he heard the sound of a person breathing in the room outside the house, the breath was long and powerful, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, it was clear that a big master was practicing qi, and when he entered the house, he saw Yun Ao's heart was even more chilling. The heart said: "Ah! What is the reason why such a master is here? ”
Meng Yishan said to her: "Hurry up and call Old Man Yun." ”
"Old Man Yun!" Li Qing'er's voice was crisp and sweet, and Meng Yishan was stunned when she heard it, and said happily: "This woman has not spoken, and Lao Tzu is still worried about buying a dumb person." ”
Yun Ao let out an "um", "Found the ferry?" ”
Meng Yishan scolded: "There is a bird king who has crossed the border and sealed the river, so let's pass it tomorrow." ”
Li Qing'er on the side burst out laughing, thinking secretly, "What a rough person." ”
Meng Yishan turned his head and glared and said: "Are there any rules, Master Meng, you dare to laugh, don't go to freshen up and bathe, this dirty body, I didn't lose Lao Tzu's face." ”
casually took out a piece of silver and threw it to Li Qing'er and said, "Go buy clothes and change clothes"
Li Qing'er said yes, and walked out of the room without mentioning it, but Yun Ao on the side looked moved, and said to Meng Yishan: "This woman has martial arts. ”
Meng Yishan exclaimed: "What! ”
Yun Ao said: "When she was outside the room, I felt that the master of light body and kung fu followed you, and when she entered the room, she put her steps again, and deceived me The old man doesn't know anyone." Where did you meet her? ”
Meng Yishan told him about the situation, and Yun Ao said with a smile: "She probably wanted to plot against King Yi, but she was blocked by you, and when she saw that you also went to Luoyang, she wanted to go with her incognito." ”
Meng Yishan said: "What should the old master say? ”
Yun Ao said: "It's good to pretend not to know, if it affects my actions, except for her." ”
Meng Yishan nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, "Martial arts master...... Old man Yun will go away sooner or later after taking revenge, he said that this Li Qing is good, how can he kidnap her into my Kunlun faction bandits. ”
After a while, he heard the sound of small footsteps, and a person opened the curtain and came in, Meng Yishan swallowed and spat fiercely, and said with straight eyes: "You are Li Qing?" ”
I saw a woman in Tsing Yi walking in from outside the house, with a slender body, a clear face, and a small red mole on her forehead, which added a little charm, and the woman's cherry lips lightly said: "Master, old man Yun!" ”
"It's really Li Qing." The owner of the village thought that twenty taels of silver were not spent in vain.
Meng Yishan said to her tentatively: "Your family owes a debt of twenty taels of silver, and you still came to the ferry from Yanshi, isn't Gu Dahu who borrowed money from the county afraid that you will escape?" ”
Li Qing'er argued: "My father is also a scholar, and he also has some affection in the local area, so I can take a little time to pay off my debts, and I can escape there as a weak woman?" ”
The lord of the village deliberately said: "Oh! Then Old Man Yun and I have an urgent matter to Luoyang, and I don't have time to let you pay off the debt, and when you are done, you can go again! ”
Li Qing'er was overjoyed, and said secretly, "Yanshi hasn't been there, even if there is Miss Gu Dahu, I don't know it, so it's the best!" Lian Sheng agreed.
Meng Yishan said angrily in his heart: "This woman is still pretending, there is really a big Gu family who hurt Lao Tzu for twenty taels, and I was the first to rob his house." ”
After eating, in the evening, Meng Yishan boneless soft boxing could not be practiced, Li Qingchu saw his painful appearance, and was also a little frightened, and found a towel for the owner of the village to bite, and wiped his sweat, and fed water, there was a big beauty waiting by his side, Meng Yishan felt that the tragic punishment of the "marrow extractor" was better than a few more times.
After the practice, Li Qing'er asked him what kind of disease it was, and the master of the village couldn't say that he was practicing, but only pushed it to be a chronic disease "sheep madness".
Li Qing'er's martial arts skills are already superior, but she didn't know that there was such a miraculous skill as boneless soft fist, which was easily concealed by the master of the big village.
When Li Qing'er saw him "crazy" again in the morning, she already secretly sympathized with Lao Meng in her heart, although she had another purpose, she still took care of him when he was "sick".
Because Lao Meng's practice reached the critical juncture of entry, Yun Ao was not busy going into the city to take revenge for the time being, and at most let the head of the general soldier of Nama be temporarily sent to him for two days.
Under Li Qing'er's care, Meng Yishan endured the hardships, and the "Boneless Soft Fist" became more and more sophisticated, and when he felt that his body was thin and had internal strength, and his waist and legs were more than twice as flexible as usual, the time to set off was up.
So Meng Yishan, the owner of the Black Tiger Village, Yun Ao, the sword demon, and Li Qing, the mysterious woman who sold herself to bury her father, made a gang and finally entered Luoyang City.
