Old-fashioned past
The water god Yin Ka is a matter of life and death.
Haitang has been unable to sleep and eat for a few days, and in her spare time, she waited for the two immortals to call her, and there was no movement when she waited and waited.
These few yen gods were placed in the sea of consciousness to breathe day by day, and most of the injuries were healed in less than five days.
Due to the division of labor and cooperation between Haitang and Zhang Moyuan, Zhang Moyuan has a lot of time to spare.
On this night, Chen Chuze came to Zhang Moyuan to catch up, and brought a lot of food, along with the big guy who was on duty with Chen Chuze, and heard Zhang Moyuan call him Jiayin, who is also from Cangxi Village.
To say that the water and soil of Cangxi in the past really raised people, and all the men in Cangxi were tall and burly.
"What about cousin? Is my cousin there? I brought some gifts to my cousin from town. Chen Chuze didn't see him, he heard his voice first.
Zhang Moyuan took the opportunity to call Begonia downstairs, and after she went downstairs, she saw Chen Chuze giving her a beautiful color shirt, and after opening it, it was a pink gauze dress, a pink cross-collar long skirt, the cuffs were spliced with pink yarn, and the pink tassels were rolled around the waist, which was very beautiful.
Chen Chuze changed into casual clothes, with a blue silk robe with a silver-embroidered neckline, and a neat hair crown, and he was also carefully dressed.
Jiayin next to him is the same, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a blue robe, which really makes people wonder if the clothes of these two people are made by the same embroiderer.
Zhang Moyuan excused himself and said: "Aze, what are you doing so much, this dress is too expensive, you hurry, take it back, she still has a lot of clothes at home, this is not suitable!" ”
"How inappropriate, I like this skirt very much, thank you Brother Jiaze!" When Zhang Moyuan and Chen Chuze excused themselves for a long time, Haitang silently stepped forward and took the skirt, such a beautiful skirt, wouldn't it be a waste of his kindness to send it to the door?
As everyone knows, Chen Chuze, who was called by Brother Jiaze, was overjoyed.
Then, Begonia turned around and went back to the room to change into a dress, which was much more beautiful and fitting than coarse linen.
Although she is a cultivator, it is a woman's nature to be cute and beautiful.
Begonia looked at the girl in the bronze mirror, the pink gauze skirt extended to the ankles, the placket embroidered with pale pink silk thread was slightly open, the pink tassels rolling on the waist swayed with the figure on both sides, the pink yarn spliced at the cuffs gave people an elegant feeling between the hands, the skirt was like snow and moonlight, and the collarbone and neck line were clearly visible at the neckline.
When I went downstairs again, Aunt Qin was busy with dinner in the kitchen, and Zhang Moyuan and Chen Jiaze were sitting in the hall and looking at me......
……
Could it be that I'm wearing my clothes backwards? But I looked in the mirror: "I...... Doesn't it look good to wear this? ”
Chen Chuze: "It's good-looking, my cousin looks good in anything!" Isn't it Dayuan? Saying that, Chen Chuze gave Zhang Moyuan a look.
Zhang Moyuan: "Yes, it's good-looking, Aze, you have a good eye for choosing clothes." ”
Chen Jiaze: "Brother Da Yuan has such a distant cousin, don't introduce us earlier!" ”
Zhang Moyuan said helplessly: "Isn't this just an acquaintance...... The money for this clothes, when the drought is over, I will earn money to pay you back! ”
Chen Chuze: "Brother Da Yuan, what are you talking about, we grew up together since childhood, what you said is too outlanding"
Then beckoned to Begonia, "Cousin, come and sit, come and move a stool for you!" ”
Chen Chuze seemed to be at his own home, not polite at all, moved his own stool to me, and moved a stool to the side.
There is a plate of peanuts and a few jars of wine on the table, Chen Chuze said that it is a major feature of Qilin Town, Qionghualu, business travelers from all over the world are happy, this Qionghualu is a gift from the business traveler who sent the original puree wine.
Haitang smiled awkwardly, and after hearing this, she thought to herself, only you know whether this wine was given or deducted......
Aunt Qin successively made some home-cooked dishes, a roast chicken, a plate of beef, and some red bean crisp brought by Chen Jiaze.
Aunt Qin sat down and said, "If you want to say that it's better to be a soldier, although you can't compare to those big people in this year, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”
Big guy Jiayin: "Aunt Qin, we grew up with Brother Yuan, he has always had his own ideas, we have also persuaded Brother Yuan to be on duty with us, our officers and soldiers on duty happen to be short of people, but no matter how you persuade Brother Yuan, he doesn't want to go, he just wants to study and gain fame, but these years, this gentleman's class is hard to find, and the book is not easy to read!" ”
Zhang Moyuan: "Let's wait until the drought is over, everything will stabilize and then talk about it, my mother is not in good health, and no one will take care of her when I leave,"
Speaking of this, Aunt Qin said with tears in her eyes, "It's all because my mother has dragged you down and delayed your future, but as long as your father is still here, you don't have to work so hard, these years, I've suffered you, child!" It's useless for my mother......"
Zhang Moyuan is also a stubborn donkey, he only admits death, and he can't listen to firewood, rice, oil and salt, "Mother, it's not your fault, everything will get better and better." ”
Only Aunt Qin knows that he is for Shen Qinghuan, Zhang Moyuan does not have a strong family background, nor does he have a prominent background, and he can only mix food and clothing when he is on duty, but his beloved Shen Qinghuan can't wait, he still has to take care of Shen Qinghuan, which is not enough.
From their conversation, I learned that the relationship between the three of them is very good, they are close friends from childhood to adulthood, several people study together, play together, and make an appointment to do the Beijing exam together to gain fame in the future.
It's just that Chen Chuze has some relationship with Ming Jiayin's family, when the drought is at hand, the master who teaches in the town has long been picked up by the son who is an official in Beijing, and when there is no book to read, Chen's father and Ming's father have put a lot of thought into it for the sake of their children, so they arranged for Chen Chuze and Ming Jiayin to be a short-term duty officer with rich oil and water.
Chen Chuze took Qionghualu and took a glass for Begonia, the strong aroma of wine was fragrant, but Begonia didn't know how to drink, and a glass of Qionghualu in her throat made her confused...... She only felt that Chen Chuze was shaking, Zhang Moyuan was shaking, Aunt Qin was shaking, the big guy was shaking, and everyone was shaking......
The begonias in a trance, the table that slammed the palm also shook.
Begonia "Oh, don't shake it......
"What the hell is this, why are you dizzy?"
Chen Chuze: "Qiong Hualu, don't you know how to drink?" ”
Ming Jiayin: "My cousin's arm strength is amazing, and he has practiced martial arts? ”
Zhang Moyuan: "If you can't drink it, don't drink it......"
Haitang also said politely, "The taste is okay, it's just a little intoxicating, I won't drink it, you can drink it...... so he lay on the table and listened to them chatting......
…………
I happened to hear them discussing Zhang Moyuan's childhood......
Zhang Moyuan's father left early, when he was ten years old, he died on the battlefield, his body was gone, and it was his mother Aunt Qin who raised him alone, and only the two of them knew how much suffering there was...
When he was twelve years old, Zhang Moyuan's mother was seriously ill, and the family had to rely on him to do all the work.
Zhang Moyuan does the man's work, and Zhang Moyuan has to do the woman's work, because of this, Zhang Moyuan, who is only twelve years old, has been teased and ridiculed by the children in the village.
And Zhang Moyuan strictly followed his mother's teachings and never paid attention to it.
Until one day, 12-year-old Zhang Moyuan was bullied and teased by children in the same village.
Chen Chuze and Ming Jiayin are the famous little devils in Cangxi, and the children led by him kept throwing stones at Zhang Moyuan, spitting, and laughing at him for being a wild seed and having no father. However, although Zhang Moyuan was annoyed, he understood that the latter was of course more important than eating to survive.
If the clothes cannot be washed today, then there will be no money to buy medicine for my mother today.
At first, Zhang Moxuan didn't pay attention to it, but it was obvious that it was not the first time that these children bullied Zhang Moyuan like this, Zhang Moyuan always remembered his mother's teachings, and in order not to cause trouble for his mother, he swallowed his anger.
Swallowing his anger does not mean that Zhang Moyuan will not be angry, he has also had many emotions with Aunt Qin for this matter, but when he saw Aunt Qin crying sadly, he couldn't bear it, he was still an obedient child after all.
Chen Chuze and Zhang Moyuan are both children of Cangxi Village, so they naturally know how to poke Zhang Moyuan's heart the most painful.
Chen Chuze saw that Zhang Moyuan ignored him, and felt that he had lost face in front of everyone, so he scolded Zhang Moyuan for being a wild seed without a father, and his mother was also a water-based poplar woman. Your dad doesn't want you anymore, little wild seed! Hahaha!
And this act of death made Zhang Moyuan lose his only remaining reason, and he was angry, and twelve years old was also the age of his flesh and blood......
Zhang Moyuan stopped the washing action in his hand, silently picked up the clothes that were stained with water, slowly folded them, tightened them, got up and threw his sleeves on Chen Chuze's eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Chuze's painful hands covered his face, his eyes were full of stars, his head was buzzing, and his eyes were dark for a while.
That sour,
Tut! Tut! Tut!
It hurts to hear......
Haitang couldn't hold back her laughter for a while: "Hahaha, Chen Chuze, you are so good at finding bad luck!" ”
Chen Chuze sighed helplessly, then touched the stubble on his chin and continued: "That's nothing, I went home and sued my father after being beaten by Brother Da Yuan, guess what, after my father heard the ins and outs, not only did he not help me out, but also punished me for kneeling in the ancestral hall for a night, and I didn't eat dinner, only my mother felt sorry for me and rubbed safflower oil for me, and also sent me food to eat, the next day my father told me that Brother Da Yuan was a martyr, I shouldn't be like this, I was still young and ignorant at that time, and I really deserved it!" ”
Begonia: "And then?" And then? ”
Ming Jiayin continued,
That sleeve was naturally painful, and Azewa Wow cried, crying dad and calling his mother, and at the same time he didn't forget to grin at Brother Da Yuan: You little wild seed, you wait for me, if the master doesn't pick your skin today, the master is incompetent! Damn it! ”
Chen Chuze is the only son in the family, how can he stand this grievance, he immediately stepped forward and scuffled with Zhang Moyuan, Ming Jiayin is a visionary, seeing that his brother was humiliated, he quickly led the three younger brothers to help Chen Chuze.
For a while, six eleven or twelve-year-old children scuffled into a mess and were inseparable, and the scene was very terrifying......
The five people led by Chen Chuze and Ming Jiayin captured Zhang Moyuan's group in the middle. One clamped Zhang Moyuan's legs, one grabbed Zhang Moyuan's arm, and the other hugged Zhang Moyuan's waist, Zhang Moyuan was furious, and while constantly shouting, he tightly pinched Chen Chuze's neck and shook it.
"Ah~~~"
Shook the four people straight away and threw them into the river.
Zhang Moyuan's eyes were cold like a sharp sword at this time, if his eyes could kill, Chen Chuze would have died at this time and had no place to be buried.
Zhang Moyuan was so frightened that Chen Chuze stood in place and didn't dare to move, and then wrapped the wet clothes in his hand twice, so that he clenched it tighter.
This little young man, with a wet suit in his hand, walked towards Chen Chuze step by step.
Chen Chuze ran away when he saw that something was wrong, Zhang Moyuan chased Chen Chuze along the river bank like crazy, and chased Erli Road......
Since then, the children led by Chen Chuze no longer dare to bully Zhang Moyuan, and after being beaten by Zhang Moyuan, they will call him honestly when they see Zhang Moyuan, Brother Da Yuan!
Since then, Zhang Moyuan has become famous!
Interesting, interesting, "What about you, Ming Jiayin, haven't you been beaten?" Begonia asked Ming Jiayin curiously.
Ming Jiayin said: "There is a debtor and a master, Brother Da Yuan is a sensible person, he didn't care about the children who fell into the water, fortunately, the river is shallow, and our children saw that things were getting bigger after they went ashore, and they were all scared, and the trees fell and they went home...... Not to mention that we don't know Brother Da Yuan if we don't fight, besides, the beneficiary is Brother Da Yuan, right......?" said Ming Jiayin looked at Zhang Moyuan with a wicked smile.
Haitang looked at Zhang Moyuan, but Zhang Moyuan didn't speak......
Haitang looked at Chen Chuze again, Chen Chuze looked at her in addition to a bad smile or a bad smile, Haitang shook Chen Chuze's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Chu Ze, what do you say, what do you say, what's going on in the back?" Satisfy my curiosity! ”
Chen Chuze saw that Zhang Moyuan didn't speak, "This ......"
Begonia "Say it or not!" ”
Chen Chuze could only say under the coercion and temptation of Begonia
Chen Chuze: "That's good, I said it!" Chen Chuze saw that Zhang Moyuan didn't say anything, so he said to Haitang
Chen Chuze: "Later, I met your sister-in-law, Shen Qinghuan. ”
Begonia: "Shen Qinghuan? ”
Chen Chuze said that although Zhang Moyuan won the battle against us that day, he was also injured, his clothes were torn and tattered, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he didn't dare to go home, for fear that Aunt Qin would worry, so he walked aimlessly by the river.
At this time, a woman of his age on the other side of the river walked barefoot and carrying a skirt to the center of the river, as if she was about to commit suicide, but she did not find Zhang Moyuan.
Zhang Moyuan thought to himself, the woman was going to commit suicide......
He didn't sit idly by, jumped into the water to rescue the woman, the two met like this, and then Brother Da Yuan didn't tell us too much, only knew that the woman's name was Shen Qinghuan, and the unicorn was also, she took Brother Da Yuan home to apply medicine, wipe wine, bandage wounds, and sew clothes for him, Brother Da Yuan and her came and went, and this good was six years......
Begonia "Wonderful, so exciting, I never thought that Zhang Moyuan was still a big lover!" Cousin, I deserve a toast to you! ”
Chen Chuze: "Respect Brother Dayuan! ”
Ming Jiayin: "Come, drink!" ”
Chen Chuze: "By the way, Brother Da Yuan, has my cousin ever been married?" ”
Zhang Moyuan: "Not yet." ”
Chen Chuze: "My cousin is interested in someone?" Talk to me, I'll talk to you about the matchmaker. ”
Haitang looked at Aunt Qin, and Aunt Qin just smiled
Isn't matchmaking the marriage in weddings and funerals? I shook my head: "Neither do I." ”
Ming Jiayin said: "How old is my cousin? ”
Begonia "I...... It's a thousand years old......"
The crowd burst into laughter
Of course, how could they know her identity, it was just when she was too drunk to say drunken words.
Chen Chuze: "Are there any relatives at home, how many are there?" ”
Begonia "No, just me ......"
Chen Chuze: "It's really not easy for my cousin, I have no home, what do I need to tell my brother in the future, your business is my business, your cousin is my cousin, my house is opposite the pawnshop in the southeast corner of Qilin Town, if you have time to come and look for me, I will take you to the town for a walk......"
Haitang: "That's really thank you, Brother Aze!" "I rolled my eyes in my heart, why don't I go with you, what should I do if I deduct the food I have looted.
Haitang looked at Zhang Moyuan, who was drinking by himself, ignoring the topic we were talking about.
Chen Chuze: "You don't have to worry about him, Brother Da Yuan is a stuffy gourd, he has always been like this!" ”
Chen Chuze: "When it comes to Brother Da Yuan's stuffy gourd, this is a long story!" ”
Begonia: "What do you say?" ”
I love to listen to Chen Chuze's stories, and when he tells stories, he will show his teeth and claws, and even make me laugh with his body movements.
Chen Chuze said, "The real sense of becoming a brother with Zhang Moyuan was not by the river, but at the foot ......of the Sky Mountain."
——————
At that time, my family was also in Cangxi, and from time to time we would go to the mountains to look for some game, and it was night, just after the rain, and the air in the mountains was wet...... After the rain, the field chickens in the mountains, the grass snakes will come out to feed, and a few of us go to the mountains to catch snakes, dig out bird eggs and catch some game by the way......
After arriving in the mountains, it took less than a moment to fill the frame.
When we left to go home, I met three burly street thugs at the entrance of the village, those three thugs in their twenties were idle, stealing chickens and dogs, gambling habits, and when they saw the box on our backs, they wanted to rob without saying a word, and our children were their opponents, so in order to avoid being beaten, they gave them the box......
At this time, Brother Da Yuan appeared, holding a hoe and pointing at the three thugs, not to mention how majestic they were: "Put things down, do you hear?" ”
Where would those three gangsters be afraid of the teenage Zhang Moyuan's arrears and mocked: "Yo, this is not Zhang Xiaoye in the north of the village, I won't let it go, what can you do?" ”
It's okay not to open your mouth, but as soon as you open your mouth, you stepped on Brother Dayuan's pain point, Chen Chuze and Ming Jiayin and a few people had seen Zhang Moyuan who was furious, and when they saw that it was not good, they took a few steps back.
Brother Da Yuan didn't talk nonsense, picked up the hoe and hit the gangster's face.
The gangster didn't expect Brother Da Yuan to dare to do it to them, those gangsters were arrogant on weekdays, and now, after eating in the hands of a child, he naturally refused to give up, and the gangster came back to his senses and gave Brother Da Yuan a kick, and went straight to Brother Da Yuan's abdomen, Brother Da Yuan didn't dodge and hit the gangster's kneecap again, bang, hoe to the meat, the gangster stole the chicken and didn't lose the rice, and the pain turned in a circle.
The two gangsters next to him didn't make it to the climate, after all, what they did was not a good thing, and they didn't dare to step forward when they saw that Brother Da Yuan had two hits.
At this time, Brother Da Yuan took advantage of the victory to chase and beat those gangsters away with a hoe......
Later, Brother Da Yuan didn't say anything, picked up the hoe and left, without looking at us......
Aunt Qin said at this time: "There is one thing you may not know, those two people are jealous and hold grudges, often come to our house to steal things, make it bad, and see that my family has no pillars, so they make my family restless, until half a year later when they steal things and are caught and sent to the government, this can make our mother and you breathe!"
Yuan'er's father fought with real knives and guns on the battlefield, Yuan'er has followed his father since he was a child, and likes to dance with knives and guns. ”
Chen Chuze: "At that time, Brother Da Yuan was very grateful for helping us, so I Chen Chuze swears here, Brother Da Yuan, your business will be my business, Aunt Qin's business will be my business, and my cousin's business will be my business!" ”
Chen Chuze's mouth is really able to speak, and Aunt Qin smiled happily: "Haha, good, good boy, it's good that half of your family can speak well, and I don't worry about his future!" ”
Chen Chuze: "Yes, Brother Dayuan, let's go on duty with us, the officers and soldiers will give priority to food and water supply, and Aunt Qin and her cousin can also follow suit." ”
Zhang Moyuan: "Don't read anymore?" Don't get famous? Don't be an official anymore? ”
It was originally the common goal of several people to gain fame, but now that the drought is at hand, it is not easy to live......
What's more, Zhang Moyuan, where does he have enough money to deal with the local government.
For a moment, no one spoke.
This is the tacit agreement of several people, and no one should mention it again.
After everyone left, Begonia got up and went back to the house,
Only Zhang Moyuan still had a calm face, "Stop!" ”
Begonia wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Moyuan said coldly, "Eating people with short mouths and soft hands, accepting gifts from others, what do you take?" ”
Haitang retorted, "He gave it to me, why can't I accept it?" , or is it because he didn't send you? ”
Zhang Moyuan: "Don't forget, you are not my cousin, I just pity you and have nowhere to go, so I will leave you for the time being!" ”
Begonia "Of course I haven't forgotten, we also said okay, division of labor and cooperation, you send your food, I will beat my water, you don't want to owe others because you don't have the ability to pay back, since I accepted his gift, pay him back another day!" ”
Zhang Moyuan: "You! ”
He felt that this woman who had picked up was simply unreasonable
To be continued......
