Chapter 017: Taking over the horse farm
Although he is in Tang Village, Chen Jing has been paying attention to the situation in Ping'an Town. Occasionally, people who returned to the village from outside, after Chen Jing gave him a cup of tea, began to talk eloquently.
"A lot of people died, and there was fighting everywhere in the city. There are more and more battalions and troops transferred abroad, and those heroes of the rivers and lakes also rely on light skills and continue to sneak into the city. ”
"It's the same as a rebellion, but for some reason, it's obviously not far away, and no one has come to the capital."
Earlier, Chen Jing had slowly sorted out his thoughts.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to make great efforts to govern the country, relying on the great sages who changed the law, and tried to overthrow the old party. On the old party's side, forced by huge losses in interests, it will not sit idly by, and will quickly huddle together, fight with open swords and hidden arrows, and fight in games.
The key to this bloody conflict is, in fact, the big gentleman who returned to Beijing from Jiangnan.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Chen, this is the mountain peach you want me to bring back...... Two pennies in total. ”
"Thank you."
Chen Jing counted a handful of broken silver and pushed it over.
He didn't want them to eat. Instead, it is used for experiments, waiting for the fruit to grow mold, find a way to extract it, and then use the soil method to make penicillin. Although it is not as good as that of later generations, and its stability is insufficient, it is well known that in such ancient dynasties, penicillin was such an anti-heaven thing. Moreover, when the time comes, you can use the name of a miracle doctor to cover up the existence of penicillin.
As long as you can revive the sick, there are many rich and noble lords, and they will pat gold and silver treasures in front of you.
To make the Chen clan a clan, wealth and military merit are indispensable.
"Owner, owner!"
Just as Chen Jing was thinking, Xing Xiaojiu, who was riding an old horse, hurried back.
"Xiao Jiu, looking for someone?"
Previously, Chen Jing asked Xing Xiaojiu to visit the masters in the nearby area and collect them for his own use.
"I asked for one, but I couldn't say ......"
"Why is that?"
"It's a lot of strength, and I heard that it can pull the tail upside down." Xing Xiaojiu drank a bowl of tea and sat down a little speechless.
"My mother passed away last year, and he was also a filial son, and after beating a mountain bear, he carried it to the coffin shop, crying and wanting to change the coffin."
"Isn't that nice?"
Moreover, he can fight mountain bears, so he must be a capable person.
"It's good, but it's a bit silly...... When I found him, he was curled up in the yellow bubble of the reed, chewed the reed pole, chewed it into a silk flower, put it in his mouth and rinsed his mouth and wiped his teeth, and finally wiped it comfortably...... Then he used the reed pole to shave his ass. ”
Chen Jing silently spit the tea in his mouth into the bowl.
"Xiao Jiu, you look very carefully."
"Don't talk nonsense, I know martial arts and have the ability to discern and listen."
Chen Jing lay on the chair and hesitated, and finally had the idea of soliciting in his heart. At present, there is only one person around him, Xing Xiaojiu. If you encounter a group of mountain bandits or something, I'm afraid it's enough to choke.
"Where's the man?"
"Erli Road south of Tang Village, Dog Slope."
"Good name."
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Jing took Xing Xiaojiu and rode south. When I arrived at the small village next to the dog slope, I just entered the entrance of the village, and I saw a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, squatting on the ground with his eyes down, begging a drooping child to share a sugar gourd.
The little boy ignored it, and the big man jumped up, quickly grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, and ran wildly towards the back mountain in a hurry.
In a hurry, he actually hit a tree on the side of the road, and for a while mud and debris flew everywhere.
"Xiao Jiu, try it...... Stop him. Chen Jing rubbed his forehead.
"Boss, take care of my son Xingqiu."
"Go with peace of mind. chased after someone, so he said that I, Chen Jing, wanted to invite him to eat eighty strings of sugar gourds. ”
Xing Xiaojiu gritted his teeth, held the knife lightly, and chased forward.
Chen Jing waited at the entrance of the village, and it wasn't until nearly an hour later that he saw Xing Xiaojiu running back, and the robes on his body were torn a lot.
"Xiao Jiu, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I almost didn't see the owner. I came up with a way to pull a tree with him, and then sneaked back. ”
"What about others?"
"I guess I'm still pulling it out. Dongjia, he is really powerful, I Xing Xiaojiu have also seen a lot of martial artists, and I have never met someone like him. ”
Chen Jing was a little lucky. If he wasn't an idiot, I'd just be hired.
With Xing Xiaojiu with him, Chen Jing hurriedly walked in the direction of the back mountain. As Xing Xiaojiu said, on the top of the mountain, the big man was still pulling out the trees with great interest.
About four or five were plucked, and from time to time they laughed triumphantly.
"Hey, good man!" Xing Xiaojiu stood in front of Chen Jing and shouted loudly.
After a while, the big man stopped his movements and grinned even more happily.
Chen Jing walked out.
"Be careful, look at his appearance, some people believe in eating children."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Jing stopped and stood in front of the big man.
"What's your name?"
"I didn't call again."
Chen Jing laughed and sat down cross-legged in front of the big man. A person who can carry a mountain bear and change the coffin of the old lady may not be fierce.
"Let's make a bet, it's stronger than the strength, and whoever loses will be obedient."
Sure enough, as Chen Jing expected, the big man puffed out his eyes proudly.
"What you say is true?"
"Of course it's true."
Chen Jing lowered his head and picked up two dead grass stalks.
"Just use this, whoever has the most strength, whoever throws far will win."
"Hehe, you're miserable, I haven't seen anyone in this area with more strength than me."
"Try it first." Chen Jing also smiled, then got up, took the lead in picking up a dead grass stalk, and threw it forward lightly.
It's not that far, but it's four or five paces away.
Suddenly, the big man laughed wildly.
"Look at me, I'm going to throw it on the hill over there!"
"Wow, wow, wow!"
The big man rubbed his fists, picked up the dry grass stalk, and threw it forward with a shout.
"Look, they're all gone! You've lost! ”
Chen Jing smiled and stretched out his hand and pointed to the big man's feet. The withered grass stalk was clearly thrown less than a step away.
"This, this doesn't count!"
"You throw it again."
Chen Jing sat down again, clasped his hands with great interest, and looked at the big man.
"I don't count this time, I didn't stand firm just now."
"You keep throwing."
……
It wasn't until almost two hours that the big man stopped crying and waved his arms unwillingly.
Chen Jing wiped his hands with satisfaction.
"As I said before, those who lose should be obedient. After that, you will come to me to work. Every month, I will give you one or two months' salary, and in addition, you can eat as much as you want to eat these sugar gourds. ”
The big man, who was still a little angry, heard Chen Jing's words, and his eyes lit up.
"By the way, it's time to tell me this time, what's your name."
"My name is Yu Shan, and my father is Yu Gongwen."
Yu Gongwen? Chen Jing had never heard of this name.
As early as when he came to pull people, Chen Jing had already inquired clearly, after the death of his mother last year, this Yu Shan was already alone, and he lived by hunting in the mountains. But the prey of the hunt is often deceived by the villagers at a very low price.
Otherwise, you won't go and grab a sugar gourd with a drooping child.
