Chapter 115: Don't Be Afraid (Add a Change for the Alliance Leader)
"Boom ......"
Xiao Huang noticed that his father was in a low mood, and tried to arch his palms with the tip of his wet nose.
Yang Ge smiled, stroked his fleshy head, and said softly, "I'm fine, let's go play." ”
Xiao Huang didn't leave, leaning on him, quietly resting his head in his arms.
Its small head doesn't understand why Daddy is upset.
But it knows that Daddy needs its company.
Yang Ge put his arm around his dog and patted it gently.
The other held a small teapot the size of a palm, sipping hot tea in small sips, looking at the last quarter moon that had just risen in the sky, and the shouts of the neighbors on Chaimen Street calling their children home for dinner......
This moment of tranquility is like this light veil-like moonlight, gentle and peaceful.
It is like a lover's warm and soft palm, gently caressing the cold and stiff face.
Pulling the heart of a good man who wants to take risks, he wants to lie down and immerse himself in this comfortable time forever.
A truly brave heart is never afraid of twists and turns, only of being bland.
Yang Ge quietly observed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and was speechless for a long time.
It wasn't until the warm teapot began to cool down that he burst out laughing and said to himself in a mocking tone.
"If you don't want your life, you want to be comfortable!"
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of being uneasy!"
"Yang Ge, Yang Ge, you're just a layman......"
At the end, he put away his smile and said to himself seriously: "I know you haven't thought about being a great man, but someone has to do these things, since it can be Li Ge, Zhao Ge, and Zhu Ge, why can't it be you Yang Ge?" ”
"If this world can be a little different because of Ling Yangge......"
"It's not in vain that you've come all this way, right?"
He raised his head to look at the brighter and brighter moon in the distance, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised: "Then it's such a pleasant decision, let's just barely teach those self-righteous rotten people a lesson!" ”
He slapped his dog's son's big buttocks, got up and strode into the back room.
The back room soon lit up with a glimmer of light.
……
The next day, Yang Ge took Xiao Huang to the inn early in the morning to ask Shopkeeper Liu for a day off, and then pushed a wheelbarrow to the grain market to buy 60 catties of rice.
When passing by the stall of Liu Mang's father-in-law, Deng Butcher, he saw that the stall was selling beef that had fallen to death today, and he also bought five catties of fine beef tendon meat and loaded it in the car, and Deng Butcher also forcibly gave him a cow tail......
He pushed the wheelbarrow and scurried out of the city, along the eastward avenue, and soon arrived at the Bianhe wharf.
The wharf is still so lively, pulling fiber, transporting goods, and crossing the river...... Crowded.
Yang Ge pushed the wheelbarrow forward, found the slender man who was directing the fiber, and asked, saluting the two cooking cakes that he bought casually on the street: "Uncle, where is the steward of the dock?" The boy was commissioned by the Lord's family to come and ask him to bring a message. ”
The head of the slender is an old man, his body and bones have long been unable to eat strength, and he only mixes a bowl of full rice on the dock to eat because of his familiarity, although Yang Ge's face is tender, he does not despise Yang Ge, and still asks with a pleasant face: "Dare to ask the little brother your master's surname." ”
Yang Ge: "Don't give your surname Yang, as soon as you say that he knows about it!" ”
Seeing what he said, the old man pushed back the cooking cake in his hand: "Little brother, wait a while, the old man will go to find Master Wu and ask." ”
Yang Ge smiled and insisted on stuffing the two cooking cakes into the old man's hands: "It's not expensive to eat, don't be too young to be a child." ”
"You are a descendant, you are so polite!"
The old man smiled and caught the two cooking cakes: "The old man's surname is Lu, if there is anything you need to take a hand on the dock when you come back, you can come to find the old man." ”
The two cookcakes are indeed not expensive things, but Yang Ge's kind and respectful attitude makes the old man who has worked hard all his life very useful.
As far as he treats people, he looks like a big family......
Yang Ge smiled and said yes, and saw Lu Laohan turn around and walk into the crowd.
After a while, a high-spirited man with a strong force, wearing a gray short fight, and a black belt around his waist, pulled Lu Laohan with one hand, separated the crowd in three steps and made two steps in front of Yang Ge.
Seeing this, Yang Ge stepped forward and parted the hand he was holding Lu Laohan, and chuckled: "The old man is younger, you are younger." ”
When the arrogant man heard this, he immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say, turned his head and said to Lu Laohan: "Old Lu, in the future, the merchant ships from Suzhou will also be unloaded, and your subordinates will support it, right?" ”
Lu Laohan was stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded again and again happily and said: "The branch is open, the branch is open, thank you Wu Da for being in charge, thank you little brother!" ”
Yang Ge helped Lu Laohan, and the high-spirited man also avoided it sideways, not daring to accept his actions: "This little brother's master and our family's master are friends with the master, and when this little brother arrives at the dock, he will go home, you are an old man, greet more in the future, don't let any eyeless reckless thing collide with the little brother, what's the matter......"
"That's it!"
Yang Ge interrupted his instructions with a smile: "I'm not the mud that will break when you touch it, what can I do to trouble people...... Uncle, you are busy, the boy and Steward Wu have a few words. ”
"Oops, hey."
Lu Laohan nodded and walked away quickly, and after walking away, he secretly glanced behind him, and saw the handsome little brother with clear eyebrows leading the yellow dog and pushing the wheelbarrow to the dock, and the majestic and unambiguous Wu master at the dock followed him step by step like an entourage with his head down.
The old man stroked his chest and muttered, "I've received a big ......."
He was only halfway through his sentence when he covered his mouth, withdrew his gaze and walked away quickly.
When the two walked to a no-man's land, Yang Ge took out a token left by the people who came to the front of the dock to pay New Year's greetings and handed it to the proud man.
The arrogant man only glanced at it, then he shook it to the end, exchanged tokens with both hands, and said respectfully: "Second master, if you have something to do, you have something to send someone over to summon the little one, how can you work to come to this smoky land in person." ”
The entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the site of a chain dock.
In a small place like Luting County, the wharf was originally taken care of by the subordinate gangs of the Lianhuan Dock.
Since Yang Ge and Lianwu had an extra layer of friendship, Li Jincheng sent capable people to take over Luting Wharf, preparing Yang Ge to have any need for their Lianwu helpers, and delivering news at any time.
And Yang Ge only learned about this when someone came to the Lianwu to greet him for the New Year......
Yang Ge put away the token and said unhurriedly: "Some things are not convenient for too many people to know!" ”
Proud man: "The little one understands." ”
Yange: "Get up, what's your name?" ”
The angry man got up, hugged his fists and replied: "Back to the second master, the little one's name is Wu Eryong, and he was originally the long-term follower of the young dock master. ”
"Wu Eryong, Wu Eryong...... Good name! ”
Yang Ge smiled and nodded.
After receiving his praise, Wu Eryong's face showed an excited smile: "A cheap name deserves to be praised by the second master." ”
"Your young master can send you here permanently, and you must be one of his most trusted people."
Yang Ge took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his bosom and handed it to him: "I need you to use the safest information channel to send this letter to Yang Yinghao, the right envoy of the Ming Sect and the Yang family of Fengyang. ”
Wu Eryong took the letter with both hands, and solemnly slapped his chest with a bang: "Second master, don't worry, the little one will take people away in person, people are in faith, people are dead, and people are ruined!" ”
Yang Ge smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't have to be so nervous, if you really encounter any accidents, you still have to protect yourself first, as long as you destroy this letter." ”
Wu Eryong stiffened his face with a serious face: "Second master, don't worry, there will be no accidents, but if there is an accident, Eryong will come to see you!" ”
Yang Ge put away his smile: "Don't say such stupid things, deal with me, no matter when you save your life, it's the first place!" ”
After a pause, he said again: "That old man is very kind, if you can help him, you can help him......"
Wu Eryong waved his hand: "The small one is saved!" ”
Yang Ge waved his hand: "Okay, you are busy with your going, I will leave first, there will be something in the future, if it is not too important, you will go directly to the Yamen on the right side of the embroidery guard to find me, if it is a very important matter, you will go to the Luting Chaimen Street to find me, just say to find Brother Yang, the neighbors will show you the way." ”
Wu Eryong: "The little one will be sent to the second master." ”
Yang Ge pushed the cart: "No need, you can go back...... Xiao Huang, let's go. ”
Wu Eryong froze in place, watching a person and a dog walk downstream along the Bianhe River, until a person and a dog disappeared at the end of his sight, he straightened up, and muttered with an incredible face: "The second master is so kind in private? ”
In fact, as soon as he saw Yang Ge, he recognized it.
He was present when Yang Ge killed Duan Yu, the "King of Hell", at the helm of the Hangzhou Giant Whale Gang, and he recognized Yang Ge's figure and voice.
It was also he who saw Yang Ge's amazing knife when he killed Duan Yu.
He couldn't associate this gentle young man who always had a kind smile on his face when he spoke, who could treat him politely to Old Man Lu, and who was an uncle, with Yang Erlang, the "Manifest Saint True Monarch" who was as heroic as a god.
This reminded him of the old dock master, who was like an ordinary fisherman when he didn't do anything with people.
"Could it be that mediocre people are pretending to be masters, and the real masters are like ordinary people?"
Wu Eryong learned the smile on Yang Ge's face, and slowly returned to the dock, his stiff and hideous smile scared his minions into trembling and not possessing their bodies: "Second master, don't you laugh like this, the little heart is panicked......"
Then, this voice of Wu Eryong used to be very pleasant to listen to the "second master," but he also felt panicked when he listened to it at the moment.
"Don't shout nonsense in the future, call me a big boss!"
He instinctively wanted to slap the eyeless rammer in front of him crookedly, but after raising his hand, he thought of something, and finally fell lightly on the shoulder of the person who spoke.
But the palm that clearly did not have much strength fell on the speaker's shoulder, but he still knocked him to the ground, hugged his thigh and wailed: "Second master, I am wrong, I shouldn't have privately collected the head fee of the ferry......"
Wu Eryong: ......
What the fuck are there any surprises?
……
"Woo Woo ......"
Xiao Huang excitedly rushed to the firewood and raised his paws to gouge the door, but with one paw he cut open the hidden firewood.
Through the courtyard gate, Yang Ge saw at a glance the old fisherman in the courtyard wearing new clothes sitting in the corner of the wall basking in the sun.
"Yo, finally willing to wear it?"
Yang Ge teased with a smile, let go of the dog leash, turned around and lifted the wheelbarrow with one hand and walked into the yard.
Xiao Huang rushed towards the old fisherman, and when he was about to pounce on him, he suddenly stopped with another sudden brake and tilted his head to look at him.
The old fisherman put his arms around it, stretched his neck and said loudly, "Hahaha...... As soon as I count the days, I know that you kid should be here again! ”
He was obviously laughing, but it gave Yang Ge a very laborious feeling.
There was nothing wrong with the tone and speed of speech, but there was a feeling of strong wheezing.
Yang Ge slowed down as he grabbed the grain bag and walked into the stove house, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" What's uncomfortable? ”
As he spoke, he let go of the food bag in his hand, walked up slowly, grabbed the old man's wrist and checked his pulse, and felt that his pulse was a little strange, but when he felt it carefully, his internal organs seemed to be normal......
"Hey, coughing in winter and wheezing in spring, what can be wrong, and it's the same when your kid gets older."
The old man slapped his palm open, and asked with great interest, "What delicious food have you brought with you today?" I smell the meat! ”
Yang Ge didn't seem to have anything wrong with his spirit, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Beef tendon meat!" Good stuff, right? ”
The old man's eyes widened in a cloudy and godless manner: "You kid can't break the king's law!" ”
Yang Ge: "What kind of royal law can a cow that falls to death that is openly sold in the East Market be violated?" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and grabbed the grain bag and went into the stove house: "You have a good taste today, white radish stewed beef, that taste... Tut-tut..."
The old man's laughter came from outside the house: "Then you have to hurry up, I have been waiting for you since yesterday." ”
Yang Ge: "Do you dare to be lazy?" ”
Old man: "You should be as young as me, when I was your age, I could eat ten fist-sized wild vegetable dumplings in one meal!" ”
Yang Ge: "Anyway, it's not illegal to brag, you can blow it hard." ”
Old man: "After your household registration is settled, no one will ask you where you came from, right?" ”
Yang Ge: "Who cares about this, you can rest assured, I am very popular in the city, and I am familiar with the head, no one will come to embarrass me when they are full." ”
Old man: "That's good, don't be afraid if someone asks you, I haven't told anyone about you, they only know that you were fished up from the river, and they don't know anything else......"
Yange: "Well, I'm not afraid! ”
He chatted with the old man basking in the sun in the yard for a while, and sped up his hand to cook the beef.
After a while, the rich aroma of beef wafted into this small and dilapidated courtyard.
The old man inhaled vigorously, "give it" and smiled: "It's so fragrant!" ”
Yang Ge: "Fragrant, right?" You wait a little longer, it will be good soon, my meat is thinly sliced, it won't be stewed for long......"
He stewed the beef, turned his head and went to wash the rice and steam the rice.
Old man: "Well, I'll wait, wait......"
Yang Ge had just finished steaming the white rice when he heard Xiao Huang's anxious "huh" cry from outside the house.
He poked his head out suspiciously, and saw the old man falling asleep against the wall with Xiao Huang in his arms, and Xiao Huang was eagerly arching his palm with his nose.
He hurriedly wiped his hands and stepped forward: "It's cold, you go into the house to sleep......"
He stepped forward and nudged the old man, but the old man didn't wake up.
Yang Ge pushed him again, but he still didn't move.
"Hey, the beef is stewed......"
Yang Ge pushed him persistently, and tears poured out at once: "Hey, don't sleep when you eat meat!" ”
The old man leaned silently against the wall, never replying to his words.
The gentle spring breeze blew his long scattered gray hair, which was crystal clear, like the catkins scattered by the river in August......
"Why are you in a hurry?"
Yang Ge slowly knelt down in front of the old man, and a string of tears fell into the dust: "Just to go, let's eat and drink enough before leaving......"
