Chapter 27: Playing Niu Er

In the morning, Yang Shucheng carried a package and a sword to say goodbye to his uncle's family. Uncle Yang told him to be careful all the way, and if he got home, ask someone to bring a letter to report his safety. Yang Shucheng agreed to come down and raised his hand to say goodbye to the uncle.

Yang Shucheng rode a donkey and left his uncle's house, not in a hurry to get out of the city, but only walked around the city. At noon, I ate in a small restaurant and went around the city a few times. In the evening, I came into the city again and had dinner in a restaurant.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he rode a donkey, slowly walked to Cowhide Lane, and came to the door of Niu Er's house, Niu Er was not at home, Yang Shucheng looked at no one around, pushed the door and walked in, tied the donkey under the tree, and walked into the hall to sit by himself, waiting for Niu Er to return home.

It was already the middle of the night, Niu Er came back, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, only to see him drunk with a red face and a thick neck, and walked straight into the hall.

The moonlight entered the house, Niu Er raised his eyes and saw Yang Shucheng sitting at home, he woke up from drinking, and was stunned for a long time, then he "plopped" a sound, knelt on the ground, and said:

"Hero, I look forward to you coming every day, you are here, why don't you tell me, now that the restaurants in the city are closed, where can I invite you to drink."

Yang Shucheng stood up, grimaced, and said, "I'm here to tell you that you will leave Luoyang City tomorrow and can't go back to the city." If I see you in the city, I will not spare you. ”

Niu Er was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Yang Shucheng said: "You don't need to know this. As he spoke, he walked out.

That Niu Er said: "Good man, are you afraid that I will go to the Yang family again, don't worry, since I know that you are Yang Yan's brother, I will die of that heart and never go again." ”

Yang Shucheng turned around, stared at Niu Er's drunken red and purple face, and said word by word: "I'll say it again, you will leave the city after dawn, and let me meet again, you're welcome." ”

After that, he strode away.

This Niu Er saw that Yang Shucheng was gone, so he went back to the house, he was drunk, walked into the inner room, fell asleep.

He didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't until noon that he slowly came to a hotel, and the shopkeeper of the hotel saw that he was coming, where did he dare to offend, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Niu Er said: "You go and invite these people to come." I have something to discuss. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly called a young man to invite these people, and after a long time, four or five people came, all of whom were ruffians with Niu Er. The shopkeeper thought to himself, these people are together, I don't know who they are trying to kill? Which one is going to be unlucky! I didn't dare to ask more, but I waited carefully.

The five or six people gathered around a table, and soon the wine and food were served. The gang began to eat and drink. Although Niu Er broke two fingers, the ruthlessness of the year was still there, and these four or five ruffians still regarded him as the leader.

Although Niu Er's right hand is missing two fingers, it does not affect him to eat and drink. The group didn't have breakfast, and now it's a big piece of meat, a big bowl of wine, and it's very lively.

Halfway through the wine, a ruffian asked, "I don't know if the eldest brother invited us here, what is the matter with us?" ”

The Niu Er said: "I see that the man surnamed Yang, carrying a package and riding a donkey, must be going back to his hometown." Our chance for revenge has come. This time, we went to burn down his shop surnamed Yang, and you robbed the woman, and whoever grabbed it will be wanted. ”

Originally, everyone grabbed Yang Yan to belong to Niu Er, but now when I heard that Niu Er didn't want it, whoever grabbed it belonged to whom, this time mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, and immediately became enthusiastic, asking what is the way?

Niu Er said: "It's better to wait until midnight, let him go on fire, and you will take advantage of the chaos to rob the little beauty and leave." ”

"Okay." The crowd shouted in an uproar.

This sound was so good that the shopkeeper of the hotel was scared to hide far away, but he just told the young man to wait attentively, and there should be no mistake.

In this room, Niu Er and the others were raising a bowl to drink, only to see the door of the house slowly open and a person walked in.

The ruffians were drinking, and suddenly they saw a man walk in, and they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

The person who came was Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng said to Niu Er: "I told you to leave today." What are you trying to calculate here? ”

"Nothing, nothing?"

Yang Shucheng's eyes shot straight at Niu Er like sharp arrows.

Niu Er was scared for a while and said, "I'm leaving the city and saying goodbye to my brothers." ”

"Didn't you say that you were going to burn down the Yang family's shop and rob my sister?" Yang Shucheng took a step forward and said coldly.

The Niu Er stretched out his right hand with two missing fingers, shook his hand and said, "I didn't say it, I didn't say it......"

Before he could say anything, he saw a flash of cold light, and Niu Er's right hand lost two more fingers, and only one thumb was left, and the two red blood suddenly appeared.

Yang Shucheng said: "Leave quickly, if I let me see you, I will definitely not be polite anymore." Then he turned and left, and closed the door of the house.

Then Niu Er felt a heart-piercing pain, sat on the ground, and screamed.

Niu Er's injury this time was not light, it was equivalent to being disabled, and he could no longer be the leader of this gang of ruffians, so he had to resign from the ruffians and leave Luoyang City alone.

Walking out of the city, Niu Er didn't know where he was, he dominated Luoyang City, relying on extortion, fighting, and brawls to eat. Once you leave Luoyang City, you really don't know where to go.

Niu Er tilted his head and thought for a long time, remembering that a rich man in the countryside was once his sworn brother, so it was better to go to his village.

Niu Er made up his mind, he came to the southwest, walked for a long time, only to see a mountain uplift in the southwest, the mountain is lush with trees, ravines and ravines, it is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and his sworn brother is here.

Niu Er strode to the village, and the owner of the village continued, it was already evening, and the owner of the village thought of the old days of worship, and put wine and food to entertain.

During the drink, the owner asked, "Brother, why did you hurt your right hand?" ”

Niu Er said: "I met an opponent in the city. ”

"Who is bold enough to offend his brother?"

Niu Er said: "A wild boy from the countryside. Don't mention him, it's just that the brother found a stunning beauty for the eldest brother in the city. You haven't seen it, you have seen it, and you guarantee that your soul is gone. Brother, I came to tell you. ”

The owner of the village thought to himself, it must be Niu Er who crippled his right hand for this beauty, and I can't admit it, so he said: "Brother Niu, my wife is in charge of it tightly, you must not raise your voice, come, come and drink." ”

That Niu Er hated Yang Shucheng to the core, and said to the owner: "Big brother, aren't you afraid?" ”

The owner of the village is now wealthy, and he is most afraid that others will look down on him, so he said: "Who is afraid to come." ”

Niu Er said: "Are you not afraid, let's go into the city tomorrow, look at that little beauty, let's discuss it again, how about it?" ”

The owner of the farm earned some wealth, so he spent his days thinking about beauty and hope, and said, "It's okay to go and see." ”

The two of them were getting a little drunk, and suddenly looked up to see a black figure standing in the light.

When the owner saw it, he was not surprised, but when Niu Er saw it, the wine woke up in fright, and the bloody face of the red pig turned into a face like a white paper.

The person who came was Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng took a step forward and shouted, "Niu Er, do you still want to harm people?" ”

"No, no......" Niu Er had already stood up, so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Niu Er's right hand was crippled, and his left hand was still pressed on the table, only to see a flash of cold light, and the left hand that was pressed on the table fell two fingers.

That Niu Er also drank too much, a little numb, and didn't feel pain, still looking at the two severed fingers on the table, as if they were not his own.

Yang Shucheng said: "I repeat, if you want to harm my uncle's family, I will not spare you." Then he turned and left.

The Niu Er looked at Yang Shucheng leaving, and then he felt a piercing pain, and he fell to the ground, rolled up, yelled, and screamed through the night sky, the birds flew away, and the wild dogs barked wildly.

Yang Shucheng didn't dare to go back to Luoyang City after seeing Niu Er, and there was nothing he could do if he wanted to go back. Yang Shucheng was relieved to do this, and decided to go to Shaanxi first to find He Jinhua.

Riding a donkey, all the way to the west, I saw that the yellow sand was long in all directions, the disaster was getting more and more serious, the victims were displaced, starvation was everywhere, thieves were swarming everywhere, and the imperial court sent officials and soldiers to suppress it, and there was no grass everywhere they passed.

Yang Shucheng came all the way to the west, although he met a few thieves, he was pitiful, he just wanted to rob Yang Shucheng's clothes, Yang Shucheng felt pitiful, and just drove them away.

There was nothing to say all the way, and soon crossed the Yellow River and came to the ground in Shaanxi, only to see wasteland everywhere, drought and no rain, cracked fields, no crops, ten rooms and ten empty. Even though it was late spring, it also felt desolate.

After walking for four or five days, I saw that it was not far from Huayin, but I couldn't find out about King Li Chuang.

On this day, walking in the canyon, I heard a shout in the distance.

Yang Shucheng urged the donkey and ran towards the sound. Standing on the hill, I saw two people fighting around a man and a woman in the canyon.

The middle-aged man was covered in blood, holding a big knife alone to protect the woman behind him, only to see that the woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate face and a graceful figure.

Yang Shucheng was stunned.
