Chapter 39: Tu Renhou and Tu Yama
Cheng Shui was completely attracted by Wu Fuzi's words.
"How did you know him?"
Wu Fuzi looked out the window, and the sound of craftsmen banging echoed in the courtyard.
Cheng Shui looked at Li Fan, who understood, and withdrew from the door with the two sisters.
She lifted the kettle, poured tea for Wu Fuzi, and said attentively: "Autumn is getting cold, you pay more attention to keeping warm and drink hot water frequently." ”
Wu Fuzi smiled, picked up the teacup and said, "That person's real name is Tu Renhou, and he lives in a small village between Zengcheng and Shenguancheng. He married two wives successively, and then married a widow, brought a son, and with five of his children, the family had six children, and was also famous in the village. ”
"Isn't there a single girl? Is it really not, or don't you want to have? ”
He glanced at her, as if he didn't like to be interrupted, but still said, "I don't know about this, it's his kid who is famous anyway." If it weren't for the family's livelihood as a butcher, they would definitely not be able to support it. ”
"I met him last year, and he came to me to make his boys literate. Stupidly brought all six children in the family, I picked one of them, and said that no matter how much I could learn, he was willing to provide me with meat every month. ”
"So you agreed for the sake of the meat?" Cheng Shui interrupted again.
This time, Wu Fuzi turned her eyes on the accusation, Cheng Shui was weak-hearted, and she had a deliberate mind.
"Okay, you say, you say, I won't ask."
"Of course I agreed, that's a month's worth of meat!" He crossed his legs and changed into a comfortable position.
Cheng Shui tilted his head when he saw this, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"I picked the biggest one...... It's faster to get out of the school. ”
"Although that kid has average qualifications, he is diligent and hardworking, and he will complete the things he is given, even if it is a small thing." Wu Fuzi raised his glass, obviously drinking tea, but it was like wine. "It's a pity that he died young, and he fell into a dry well."
"Later, I also asked Tu Renhou if he wanted to change his son to continue learning with me. He refused, saying that he didn't have this life, and I would give up. What happened after that, you can probably also know that the people are having a hard time, and their families are more than happy. When there is no food for man, there is nothing to feed the animals, and he has no work. ”
"Two months ago, I passed by the east of the city and saw him kneeling in the pile of homeless people with a child in his arms. And they sent him into the city, and when he saw me, he was not very thin, with chapped lips, and his eyes were dull, and he was dragged to me. When I saw that the child in his arms was motionless, I had his hand broken, and I found that the child had been dead for two days, sick and dead. ”
"Ahh
The Tu Renhou that Cheng Shui knows is completely different from the person in Wu Fuzi's mouth.
That person, because he likes to see people die in front of him and slowly swallow his breath, is called the King of Slaughter.
Tu Yan was originally a fierce general under Liu Bi, and he followed the latter at the beginning of the uprising, but he liked to kill prisoners of war, and had some conflicts with Liu Bi, and finally broke up.
In order to balance the two, the imperial court also named King Tu Yan as the king of the opposite sex. But it didn't work, but in the hearts of the people, the majesty was lost and the face was lost.
In the book, the origin of this person is unknown. So Cheng Shui heard Wu Fuzi say that he knew, so he wanted to find out, but unfortunately he knew too late, if he had seen Wu Fuzi earlier, saved that person's child earlier, maybe earlier, crossed over, and saved more people...... Through......
No more! A little earlier, if she had known that she would have crossed, she would have tried her best to avoid it, and she would not have come to this era!
This matter is like: spring and summer are the beginning, and autumn and winter are the end. The cycle goes on and on.
Cheng Shui was helpless, and his heart gradually calmed down. When she was young, she was often suffering from internal friction and torture, and she was always afraid that what she had gained would be sorry for her efforts. When I got older, I realized that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and peace is like life.
Of course, this does not mean that she is willing to accept all the arrangements of fate, she just looks more open to those things that are unfortunate and powerless to change.
"Are you wondering where his other sons are?"
Seeing Cheng Shui come back to his senses, Wu Fuzi said, "They are all starving." ”
Cheng Shui thought about whether the king of Tu Yan had received a lot of righteous sons in the book because of the suffering of his own children.
The master looked up at the window, the sky was clear and clear, and the sky was like a wash.
Cheng Shui also followed his gaze, saw the wind and the sun, and thought of something.
"Did Wu Fuzi let the paper kite go?"
"Naturally, I used to play with my sisters when I was young."
"Then you let it go...... Hot air balloons? No, was it a hot air balloon? ”
In Wu Fuzi's puzzled gaze, Cheng Shui got up and smiled.
......
After coming out of the yard, Cheng Shui was not in a hurry to return to the house.
She took Li Fan and the two sisters to the street, and walked around the East Market and the West Market.
The town was much livelier now than it had been when she first came.
It was evening, and the streets were bustling with people, although they weren't full of people.
It can be seen that humans are very resilient creatures and have a strong ability to recover.
Of course, the town is more lively than before it can be restored in less than a month, and the main thing is that it is inseparable from people.
Not only Changliu Village, but also people from Shili Village and some other small villages also lived in the town.
The first is that Cheng Shui is recruiting workers in the town, and the wages and food are twice as high as usual, and the second is that the rent and selling price of the houses she has repaired and expanded are extremely low.
In this way, there are more people living in the town, spending less money, and still making money. Naturally, people from nearby villages would gather.
Of course, Cheng Shui is spending the most out of this, and if she can't find a new source of income before she spends all her money, then everything here will come to a halt.
Cheng Shui knew it in his heart and was not in a hurry. Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done one by one.
Seeing her wandering around the street, Li Fan, who had already guessed what she meant, spoke: "Why don't you go to the recruitment office at the city gate to see, where there are more people, people from nearby villages will also come to inquire about the news." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Shui gave Li Fan an approving look before he stepped forward.
As soon as she reached the city gate, she frowned.
Li Fan, who was observing her expression, felt a sigh in her heart, thinking that she thought that this place was too messy and disliked.
Li Fan's thoughts, Cheng Shui didn't know. She just saw a few people on the table recruiting workers, hurriedly writing bamboo slips, and felt that it was not convenient.
In addition, she saw many of the means of transportation used by the people, such as ox carts, horse-drawn carts, mule carts, and man-powered carts.
These means of transportation are not easy to drive at will in the flat land of the town, let alone mountain paths and the like.
Remembering the experience of walking to the town, Cheng Shui hesitated, but still put the manufacture of cement on the schedule.
