Chapter 3 Pack up and run
They were now sitting on a straw mat in the house.
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack up your things and run, you're going to lose your country, what are you talking about here? ”
Everyone in the Jiang family: "......"
"No, Dad, don't get excited, sit down first. We're new here, and we don't know where to go, so how to run. We'll have to sum it up first. Jiang's mother hurriedly stopped.
"Yes, Dad, we have to prepare first if we want to run, don't we take our belongings?" Dad Jiang also said.
"Well, yes, let's plan first." Grandpa sat down.
"Dad, tell me what the situation is in our family now," looked around at the dilapidated house, a little worried.
"My name here is Jiang Yang, your mother's name is Jin, and my surname is Jiang as well, and your grandfather is still your grandfather, called Zhou. Because they are not nobles, they only have a first name and no surname. An An is called Jiang Rao, and Xiaoyu is called Jiang Yu,"
"The Jiang family is a small nobleman in the Song Kingdom, but it has declined, and there are not many people left in the family population, including the side branches, there are only fifty or sixty people.
I'm the son of the patriarch of the Jiang clan, but I'm not welcomed, so I'm a gentleman.
The family has a few farms and pastures outside the city, all of which are not large; Song Guoshang gathered, and the family also had some business, but we can't mix that business, and my eldest brother is responsible for it.
Basically, the Jiang family is supported by the business in the hands of the eldest brother.
The family had less than two hundred private soldiers and a few hundred slaves. I watched the majority of the people live tightly.
By the way, this is not our home. This is a family's annex in the city, and the family's caravan inventory will rest here. ”
"I'll just say, this house is too dilapidated, and there's nothing left." Jiang An said.
"Don't say it, our own house is not much better than this." Jiang's mother said coldly on the side.
"Huh?"
"Your dad didn't talk about the point for a long time. The family will talk about it for a while, I guess he is embarrassed to say what is going on with him! Jiang's mother looked at Jiang's father with a smile, turned her head and complained to her daughter,
"Our family says that it is a nobleman, but you know that this patriarch has a bunch of sons, and the eldest one, and the whole family depends on others to support them.
Your dad is a piece of waste now. He doesn't have any skills and is not sweet, and your grandfather doesn't like to take care of him, so he is very poor.
Then he gambled and fought cocks and horses with others every day. If you have a little money in your hand, you can only gamble, and if you lose all of it, you can only smash the pot and sell iron, and if you don't have to sell it, you have to go home to eat and drink.
Do you know what we're doing here? ”
"What for?"
"Your dad made a bet with someone."
"Then why is our whole family here?"
Jiang Dad Jiang Ruoyang: "......"
Seeing that the whole family was not looking at him well, Jiang's father had no choice but to tell the truth.
This Jiang Yang made an appointment with someone to gamble, and brought his only wife and two children, just in case, to pay off gambling debts.
As for grandpa, he felt that this situation was not good, and he was afraid that Jiang Yang would harm his daughter, so he followed him all the way.
“……”
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
"Don't look at me like that, this was done by the original owner, not me, how could I do this kind of seller's business!"
Dad Jiang died of grievances.
"Okay, we can't put unsuccessful crimes on Dad, he is indeed innocent." Jiang Anrao was the first to relent, speaking for his father.
Then just when Dad Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to say that it had to be my "little padded jacket", he made up for it again.
"Our family's force value is the weakest of his, and it is not certain who sold it when he saw the real chapter! He wouldn't be so unthinkable. ”
In a word, Jiang's mother and grandfather both nodded.
Dad Jiang: "......"
There is a wound.
A few people were talking, when suddenly a shout came from outside:
"Jiang Yang! Jiang Yang! Jiang Yang She'er! Where are you hiding? ”
"Dad, someone scolded you." Jiang Anrao reported. She'er, isn't that what my son meant?
Daddy Jiang's side:
"It's over, it's over, what should I do? It must be that Diao Hua who made an appointment to gamble with Jiang Yang! Jiang Yang is crazy this time, he gambled a lot with others! ”
"Dad, don't panic. It's okay, we've got you covered. Jiang Chiyu said very filial piety.
Jiang Ruoyang heard it, yes, a family of five, except for him, he can fight each other, it is estimated that he can't beat him, and it is no problem to take him away. Well, that's reassuring.
Still shouting outside, Jiang Ruoyang adjusted his state and walked out first.
"Stop shouting!"
Jiang Narao and the others also walked out together, and they saw a dark and short man standing in the courtyard, followed by four or five men in coarse cloth clothes.
The Jiang family couldn't help but look at one of the big men. Not just because he's tall and armed with a sword, but because of his prowes.
Except for Dad Jiang, several other people instantly judged that this person was good at kung fu.
Jiang Narao quietly leaned behind his father and asked softly:
"Dad, what are you betting on with others this time?"
"Technique ......"
The so-called technical attack is also a competition.
"Haha, Jiang Yang'er, this person is the warrior I found with a lot of money; Where are your warriors? Why don't you come out and see it! ”
This short and dark man is Diao Hua, at this time, Diao Hua waved his hand proudly compared to the tall man with a sword, hugged his arms again, and waited for Dad Jiang to reply.
Jiang Ruoyang: "Hmm. He's not there yet......"
"Hahaha!" Diao Hua looked up to the sky and laughed, "Jiang Yang, are you that fierce warrior afraid?" ”
Dad Jiang: "......"
"Dad?"
Dad Jiang turned around helplessly and whispered to his family:
"Jiang Yang met a person by chance yesterday, he looked at other people's swords, and guessed that they might be very good and masters, so he said that he would let that person come here early this morning and let him try his skills on his behalf.
He didn't even know what the man's name was and where he lived......"
Jiang Chiyu: "So, that person is still likely to release your pigeon?" ”
Dad Jiang nodded.
Jiang Chiyu hugged his arms: "It's okay, it's a big deal for me." ”
The whole family nodded.
They have great confidence in Jiang Chiyu.
But it's a pity that the "master" brother didn't give Jiang Chiyu a chance to come out, and just as they were talking, someone walked in with a sword.
It was a middle-aged man about 1.75 meters tall and about 30 years old, also dressed in coarse linen, with deep facial features, thick eyebrows and a high nose, and a hard outline.
Jiang Narao instantly understood why Jiang Yang thought this person was a master, it was really because the height of a middle-aged man was too good in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The middle-aged man came in and glanced at everyone present, pursed his lips and looked at Dad Jiang.
"So-and-so is coming."
Diao Hua sighed.
Dad Jiang: "Ah......"
Jiang Anrao and Jiang Chiyu glanced at each other.
When this person stood in a row with Diao Hua, he was a head taller than Diao Hua; Diao Hua has a round face and a slightly chubby body, while he has deep facial features and a thin figure.
It looks more imposing than the swordsman that Diao Hua brought.
"Humph! I don't know if it's useless! Diao Hua obviously also noticed this, and snorted sourly.
When Jiang's father saw someone coming, he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or to be on the safe side, to let his son play.
