Chapter Seventy-Four: The Nine Songs of the Yellow River

The guards did not know how to get medical advice, so they panicked, and while they hurriedly sent someone to Linjin to report the news, they wrapped me up heavily and ran to the nearest village. When you enter the village, you knock directly on the door of the first house. This family's house is relatively large, and it used to be a wealthy family, but now it seems that the population is not large. The old woman, who was gray-haired and in her fifties, was startled to see us and bolted the door and refused to let us in.

I was a little better at this time, and shook my head vigorously and said, "Forget it, let's change another one." ”

Hesse did not speak, but knocked down half of the door with one arm, and in spite of my angry scolding, he carried me into the house, covered me with a quilt, settled down, asked the guards to boil water, arranged for someone to fetch medicine, and then walked out of the door, kowtowed to the frightened old woman, and bowed: "Old mother, I am sorry, but my master is sick and cannot help but come in." He gave the old woman a piece of silver: "This money will subsidize your family, and it will be our expense."

He was originally a Nanban, he couldn't speak clearly, and he was hard, and his good words seemed to be fighting. The old woman didn't understand it, but she trembled with fear.

Hesse himself turned around and came to the courtyard of the courtyard, tore off the cloth clothes on his body, revealing his scarred body, and shouted to the Li brothers: "Hesse entered the house privately, committed a great deed, and was executed!" ”

The Li brothers looked at me, and I shook my head: "He is single-minded for the Lord, let's be whipped, twenty strokes." "According to Ji Han's law, in fact, his punishment is the most severe, he can kill his head, and the lightest should be forty military clubs.

Li Wei waved his whip, and as soon as he whipped down, blood splattered on Hesse's back.

The old woman screamed in fright, hid in the house, and huddled with another woman. After twenty lashes, Hesse was sweating profusely in pain, although he was tough.

At this time, the other guards were busy carrying firewood to make a fire and boiling water for cooking. It's completely noisy.

Pufa explained outside the old woman's room, and I don't know what the monk said, but anyway, I let the old woman settle down, and took a woman to take the initiative to take care of me. I tried to say something, but my eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and I finally fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

A fire rose in the house, and the water was rumbling in the cauldron. Because of the rain, the smoke from the chimney did not rise, but fell in a downward direction, accumulating more and more in the yard, and quietly pulling up the thick and soft curtain as if it were not moving.

The kang warmed up, the heat bubbled up through the bed, the vest was warmed, and the limbs were all ironed comfortably. I looked at the old woman next to me who was boiling ginger soup for me, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, old mother, I scared you." ”

The old woman said, "Where, you are a noble person in Chang'an City, please can't invite you." It's because I'm too careful, and I didn't hear what this military master said, and I think you are river bandits. ”

"River bandits? Are the river bandits in this area very powerful? I couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, it's amazing, a few days ago, I robbed Li Yuanwai's house in the neighboring village. When my son went out today, he said, let me keep the door tight, these days the river bandits are making a lot of trouble, let me be more careful. ”

How did the three people of Wu Ban make trouble, do they know the river bandits here? I couldn't help but feel a little displeased.

"I wonder who you have in your family?"

"Alas, you can probably see that this family has a lot of people, but Dong Zhuo caused a rebellion, and a hundred and ten members of the family fled to death, there is not much left, a few years ago, Qianghu rebelled, and killed a lot, and now there are only three of us left. My family's surname is Guo, and my son's name is dedicated to Yunyang. ”

Guo's family is also a big family in Yongzhou, no wonder his son is still famous.

The old woman was still saying: "You must be the son of a general's family, you went out with so many people, fierce and vicious, and scared me at first, but that kid just now, why did you beat that beard?" Oh my God, the fight was bloody. ”

"It's because you didn't open the door, I wanted him to leave, but he grabbed me in and broke the military rules, so he should be beaten."

"What? It's because of this! Your child, sick, he came in to save you, saving people is like fighting fire, although the old woman is a country woman, she has also heard of the truth of urgency, why don't you stop it? Blame me, I was scared, I didn't hear the bearded man's words, you must know that it was for this, I said that I couldn't let him suffer this beating in vain. She chattered as she walked towards the back room, and her initial fear was long gone, and in a moment she took out a vial, and took out the stick wound medicine from it and put it on Black.

Hesse blushed and said in hard Chinese: "No, no, this little injury, no need." ”

The old woman didn't care about that, and forced him to lift up the clothes on his back and put on the medicine for the wound.

The ginger soup was boiled for a while, but the young woman was very shy, and she was embarrassed to bring it to me with a bowl of ginger soup. At this time, the guards only looked at the embarrassed appearance of their leader, Hesse, and did not pay attention to me for a moment. I laughed and said, "I'll do it myself." I was about to get up, but I felt dizzy.

The woman had already helped me and said, "Don't move, I'll feed you." As he spoke, he leaned the pillow behind my head, scooped up the ginger soup with a small spoon, blew it gently, and fed it to my mouth. When they got closer, a burst of virgin fragrance hit people. I couldn't help but feel a wave in my heart. Speaking of which, since I left Sun Shangxiang since I was a child, no woman has ever been close, even if it is a maid, she is rarely close, day and night, just with Jiang Wei and a few other companions. As for the later military career, there were more in the barracks and less in the palace, even in the palace, it was still talking about business day and night, reading official documents, and never approached women, even if they were close, they never felt any difference with men. At this time, the age has arrived, the love has been opened, and suddenly in this embarrassing situation, I can't help but blush, my heart beats faster, and I peeked at the woman while drinking the soup.

She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was not very beautiful, or many of the maids around me were much prettier than her. But there was a sense of peace and warmth in her eyes. Because she was a little shy, perhaps because of the heat in the soup, her face was flushed, and she was slightly sweaty.

This feeling, this atmosphere, this feeling of physical weakness, but it makes me feel very peaceful and comfortable, I want to stop at this moment, I want to live in this warmth for the rest of my life, this thought surprises me. I haven't married Xingcai yet, so how can I think of other women like this.

No, or maybe it's not just a thought, I don't like this woman, but I like the warmth and tranquility of this moment. This hot water, this ondol, this ginger soup, this kind old mother, this shy little woman, all these things are actually something I have never enjoyed in my life.

As it got darker, I drank the ginger soup and slept in bed. The woman entered the room and took out a bronze bamboo branch oil lamp, lit it, and illuminated the room. I think this light also carries the friendship and warmth of ordinary people, and it is even more lovely than the bright seven-star lamp in the palace.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a whistling sound outside, mixed with shouts, shouts, and loud sounds.

Hesse leaped to his feet and ordered: "Meet the enemy!" ”

The guards rushed out of the room, and the Li brothers stood guard at the door. The guards who were guarding outside ran in: "Young master, a group of thieves came outside, there were two or three hundred people, each armed with knives and guns, rushing here. ”

"It's a river bandit! The river bandits are coming! The old woman was frightened, "What can I do if my son is not here?" ”

"Old mother, what's the hurry? It's just two or three hundred people, and my subordinates, even if they deal with two or three thousand people, they won't be afraid. I smiled and comforted.

"Little boy, you don't know, river bandits are different from ordinary bandits, they are all strongmen who have been crisscrossing the river for decades, and the officials and soldiers have nothing to do with them, if it weren't for General Feng's formation along the river, forcing them to have nowhere to go, they wouldn't have gone deep into the shore to rob their homes."

She said it was General Feng, she must be referring to Feng Xi, it seems that when I met these river bandits, it was not that Wu Ban didn't work hard, but that they worked too hard. "Okay, since it's such a strongman, Li Sheng, you go and inform Hesse and arrest the one who is in charge for me - no, let Pufa go, I'll see if he, a master who jumped out of the circle after three moves, can do this."

As for the popularization of law, if it weren't for his master and Ma Chao praising him, I would have doubted whether he was a liar. He told me how hard it was to practice, how hard to practice, and how to increase his experience through fighting, but since I started, I have hardly seen him practice, nor have I seen him fight with people seriously. This time, I'll have to try him.

Soon there were screams and fights outside, and after a while, I saw Phama striding in with a man without any blood splashed on his body, but the man was limp and motionless.

Pufa threw the man on the ground and said, "Young master, fortunately not disgraced." ”

When the old woman saw this, she cried out, "River God! This is the river god He Jiuqu! ”

The man on the ground is the leader of the river bandits, and He Jiuqu, who is known as the "river god". This person is said to be very legendary, once relied on several small boats, haunted the Yellow River, robbed everywhere, but never missed, and even once even Cao Cao's military rations made him steal thousands of catties. His water is so good that people on both sides of the river say that he can sleep underwater.

I laughed, if this person can be called the river god, then what should Pfa be called? But no matter how I look at it, He Jiuqu has no scars all over his body, and he doesn't know why he fell to the ground and didn't move. At this time, the sound of fighting outside was getting farther away, and the black stuff came to report that the thieves had retreated, and asked me if I wanted to chase them, and I would let them come back.

"Pufa," I asked, "Has this He Jiuqu been knocked out by you?" Wake him up, I'm going to ask questions. ”

Pufa leaned down and swept over He Jiuqu like a pipa in his hand, and He Jiuqu groaned and opened his eyes. This is really a strange thing, can the law not be able to do anything?

He Jiuqu opened his eyes and scolded: "Thief bald! Plotting hurts people, not a hero! ”

Pufa didn't reply, just smiled and stood aside, just ignored.

I said: "It seems that this strong man is not convinced, then you get up and fight with this monk again, I also want to see this monk's skills." ”

He Jiuqu jumped up, looked at the people in the room, raised his arms, kicked his legs, shouted, and rushed towards Pufa, his fist was like a big river flowing, extremely violent. My heart moved, this person's skills seem to be no worse than Zhao Zheng, and on the battlefield, he can also be regarded as a fierce general. In this huge wave-like fist style, Pufa suddenly turned into a big fish jumping around, going upstream, hitting with one blow, and pointing like a knife, cutting horizontally at He Jiuqu's neck. He Jiuqu was like Chinese wine, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.

I said angrily: "You Pufa, you know that I'm watching, and you don't say slow down your posture so that I can see clearly." Not counted, replayed. ”
