The man smiled, "Look at the face at the bottom, it's not a local, right?" ”

"No," Li Er let out a long breath, "But what about you?" ”

"My house is in the middle of the city," said the small, shrewd-looking man, "come here and make some money to subsidize the family." ”

"This work is tiring and hard," Li Er complained, and then asked, "Since you are a person from the city, can't you find a better job?" ”

When strangers arrive in a new environment, they always want to develop a new relationship, and Li Er is certainly no exception, and he doesn't see anything wrong with doing so.

This man is very friendly and enthusiastic, working with him, talking and laughing with each other. According to this man's own words, he is a domestic servant of a large family in the city, and he usually has little work, and his master often goes out, and the house is loosely managed, so he is idle and idle, so he just came to work.

"Fifth Brother Zhao," Li Er didn't feel a little moved after hearing it, "Do you still hire a helper in your master's mansion?" ”

Zhao Wu laughed when he heard this, "Where did the master's family get those jobs, you see that I am idle to work part-time." ”

Although he said this, he looked Li Er's dejected look up and down again, and said slowly, "But my master likes to make friends with the world's heroes the most, if anyone has outstanding martial arts, my master will definitely treat him as a guest!" ”

Li Er raised his head suddenly, although he didn't have any martial arts, only the strength to kill pigs, but he couldn't be clearer, don't say that it is this small plain earth city, looking at Chang'an, Luoyang, even the whole world, no one may be able to match the swordsmanship of his master.

The only problem is......

He turned his head with a complicated expression, and under the scorching sun, the thin figure was still tirelessly digging the ditch.

…… The planing is particularly vigorous and energetic, as if there is a mountain of gold hidden underneath.

Of course, Lu Langjun's efforts also paid off, and when the overseer came over, he looked at it twice, and then shouted, "Look at this little brother's work!" It's better than you lazy people! To this little guy...... What's the name? Oh, land salted fish, write it down, write it down! Give him double the money when he gets off work! ”

Li Er looked at the smile on Lu Langjun's face for a while, and then turned his head back in silence.

"If your master meets the best man in the world...... he asked in a low voice, "can you give forty dollars a day and a meal?" ”

Chapter 85

After a day's work, don't go home directly after work, go to the market first.

The biggest difference is that many people do not set up stalls here all day, but occasionally come to sell something, just like the morning market and the evening market.

This kind of business generally does not charge taxes, but when she came to visit the market today, she suddenly found that there was a small official walking around the market with a scale, which caused everyone to look sideways frequently, and seemed to be a little annoying to him, but she refused to mess with him.

"What is this man doing?" She casually asked a stall owner, this is frying radish balls, golden in color and fragrant, Li Er passed by here and took a few more looks, it just so happened that she hadn't eaten fried vegetarian balls for a long time, so she decided to have some too.

The stall owner glanced at her, and then glanced at the little official who was walking back and forth, and said twice, "Hehe" twice, "The county magistrate heard that there are people in the market who are short of catties and taels, and sent an inspector over, I heard that if you catch someone who is short of someone else's catty, you will be fined at least 100 yuan!" ”

…… Terrible.

But considering that she was not liked by nature, when the croquettes were ready to be handed to her, she really asked, "I'll weigh this pack of croquettes, no problem, right?" ”

Hearing this, the stall owner glared at her coldly, and then, from the pot, fished out a few more balls and stuffed them in!

"Weigh it as you like!" He said in a gruff voice.

"I think this county order is not bad," she whispered to Li Er, "especially for people like me, it's very friendly." ”

Speaking of this, Li Er felt that he could also quickly beat the side drum, "With Lang Jun's ability, as long as he shows a little means, is there anyone in this small city within a radius of a few miles who dares to face Lang Jun?" ”

After he finished speaking, he carefully glanced at the young man's expression.

…… Lu Hangyu's attention was attracted by a tofu stand.

"Bring me two," she asked, "Shall I eat them?" ”

“…… Pimp? Pimp? Li Er was ruthless, and when she made persistent efforts and was about to look at the next stall, he dragged her to the side of the road, "Lang Jun, look! ”

Although Lu Xuanyu's wages for a day's work were taken away by Lu Xuanyu, he could still find thirty coins in his pocket and hand them over, and he had been holding the money for a long time, so he was a little sweaty.

Lu Hangyu looked at the money, and then looked at him, "What kind of money is this?" ”

"Someone inquired about Lang Jun's news, this is a ...... used to buy villains," he said, "According to the villain, even if Lang Jun has a clumsy intention, in this plain city, I am afraid he will not be able to hide it." ”

The boy didn't react after hearing this, he wasn't worried, he wasn't surprised, the face didn't seem to care at all, he just waved his hand casually, "It's okay, you can keep it for yourself." ”

So Li Er was wrapped in this huge emotion, and his heart was also surging with warm affection, only feeling that he trusted Lang Jun wholeheartedly, and Lang Jun also gave him all his trust, and even completely forgot that Zhao Wu actually gave him fifty dollars, and he hid the other twenty dollars in his shoes, and he still has some foot pain......

As the sun set, the two of them came back with all kinds of things, and Lori, who was guarding the window, immediately ran out of the door to greet them.

"Brother is back!" This is Dong Bai.

"Lang Jun is back!" This is Siniang.

I don't know what I'm shouting, but I'm waving my two little paws in anticipation of my face waiting to be fed...... This is Xiaolang.

"How's Tongxin doing today?" She asked as she handed the pile of food.

"I think it's okay, I listened to the grandma next door, there is a kind of home remedy that is very symptomatic, you can give it a try......"

At the end of the day, everything seemed to be right, the wind and waves were calm, and there were idlers walking by on the road, and stopping at the door of this house did not attract the attention of the master's family.

But the idlers got together in twos and threes, and the topics they talked about were particularly vulgar and easy to understand.

"You see?" Xian Hanjia opened the topic, "There is such a little lady in this city!" ”

"It's like a goddess in a painting!" Xian Hanyi affirmed, but immediately raised the difficulty, "Such a face, I'm afraid it's not the daughter of a noble family?" ”

"Do you hear, she just called that yellow-mouthed child as a brother, there are no adults in the family, and her brother can only go out of the city to dig a ditch, obviously there is no way, do you still think she is a noble girl from a family?"

"Not bad...... Looking at her cloth and hairpins, I'm afraid it's just a poor girl who fled somewhere. ”

There are those who have married wives, but they don't delay the hearts of people who want to hook up; There are those who have not yet married a wife, and the brain that longs for beauty is even more ready to move. With such a bewitching face, when the wife is indeed frivolous, besides, this girl's family background looks poor, there is no dowry to speak of, and it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective to marry home.

But she has no elders in her family, and there is no one to rely on here, since there is no man to guard during the day, if she secretly hooks up, maybe she can get started with a few dollars?

The little lady's autumn-like eyes, mutton fat jade-like skin, and the willow-like waist, as long as she thought about it, her whole body immediately became restless, but there were still two men in the house, and they couldn't get close for a while.

But with such thoughts, it is not easy to dispel them.

Dong Bai naturally didn't know that there were still people who had such thoughts about her, but whenever she settled down, she rarely went out, and on the way to escape, there was a brother by her side, and very few people pestered her without knowing whether she was alive or dead, even if it was Wang Jiasanlang, who had expressed his admiration to her, after she refused, he never dared to disturb her.

In the early morning of the next day, the family had used the morning food, Brother A and Li Er filled the water tank at home with water, and then went out of the city to work, Siniang was responsible for cleaning, she was responsible for sewing and mending, Tongxin Niang seemed to be a little better after two days of rest, and she could take care of Xiaolang and A Cao.

After noon, the weather became hot, she moved a basin of clothes, pushed open the back door, and was about to go to the backyard to wash clothes, when there was a whistle on the earthen wall, which scared her a spirit!

"Little lady, where are you from?"

When the man saw her retreat, he hurriedly stretched out his hand, and only after the thing in his hand flashed in the sunlight did she see it clearly.

…… It is a copper hairpin, and there is not even a texture on it, which is also unpretentious.

The man saw her staring at the copper hairpin, and the smile on his face became more conspicuous, "Since I met the lady, I can't eat, and I can't sleep well......"

Dong Bai glanced at him again and closed the door.

"Is there anyone out there?" Siniang glanced out curiously.

She glanced at it and pretended not to see it, "No, I just thought that my neck hurt from washing clothes outside, so I might as well come back and wash it." ”

Clothes can be washed in the house, but clothes should be taken out to dry.

When the man saw her come out, he immediately stretched his neck again, "Little lady! ”

He planned to be very shrewd, although the girl was born beautiful, but she hid in the house all day, she must not have seen anything of the world, he stole this copper hairpin from his wife's dowry, even if he couldn't get her hands on it immediately, he could change his smiling face, and then have a sweet brother...... He was so good at talking that he asked the two of them to wait today, so that he could try it first. Why is this girl a fool? Seeing such a copper hairpin of full color, he was indifferent?

Dong Bai naturally couldn't understand his tactful and compassionate thoughts, but it was obvious that a decent gentleman would not pick up the back wall of her house, and he was there all afternoon to talk to her, no matter what kind of face she put on, the person chattered endlessly, and was there wholeheartedly thinking about what she didn't have.

"I don't want your hairpin," she said at last, "and you have no shame in holding on to the back wall of my house like this, why don't you go away?" ”

The man's face immediately changed, "Little lady, you are new to here, I'm afraid you still don't know who I am, right?" Let me tell you, there is no one in this plain city who I Ma Liu can't speak, go up to the new county commander, and go down to the overseer who digs ditches and plows the land outside the city, if I say a word, your brother may have to suffer! ”

My brother has nothing to do and is willing to go to the ditch and turn over the ground to cultivate his temperament, Dong Bai thought, you really think that he can only dig the ditch. But the contempt in her heart didn't show the slightest, but her eyes widened as if in horror, "What do you mean by that!" ”

Ma Liu only felt that the little lady's appearance when she was frightened was even more lovable, and she couldn't wait to climb into the wall and take pity on her, but in broad daylight, besides, there were female dependents in the house, so he had to lower his voice and said, "If you want to live in this city, don't you have to rely on a few capable men?" Your brother is just a yellow-mouthed child, what kind of façade does he hold? You ......"

His heartfelt words, if he doesn't finish speaking, he can't be happy, so it is understandable to forget the time of work outside the city, and he also has some considerations in his heart, since he scared this little lady, even if her brother comes back, the little lady may not tell the truth, even if he tells the truth, what can that kid do? Can you take him ......

The back door opened, and the face that was ordinary and didn't look like a brother and sister poked out, "Ah Bai, what are you doing in the backyard?" ”

The little lady's face changed in an instant, and she pointed at him and said viciously, "Brother! The disciple of Naden picked up the back wall for a day and said something unclean! ”

…… He has nothing to fear! He just softened his feet and was ready to slip away! He was at least two or three feet away from the young man, he was tall, and his steps were so great that he could take three steps and two steps, and run so fast that they could not catch up with him, nor could he see him! Besides, he is an adult man, are you still afraid that a yellow-mouthed child will not succeed?!

This man never expected that as soon as he turned around and ran two steps, the young man's hand seemed to be extended, and he grabbed him by the back of the neck! That's a human hand! As if made of iron, he dragged him all the way to Qianmen Street!

"You didn't actually do anything to kill people and set fires." The teenager said.

"Yes, yes, yes." He nodded busily, "It's just a misunderstanding......"

"So I can't just shoot you," the boy continued, "that's pretty much it, show the neighbors a sample, and make everyone remember." ”

His eyes widened suddenly, and just as he was about to say something threatening, the boy's fist had already slammed down.

There was a group of people gathered in front of the door, and the thing that was soft into a mess of mud and still panting was picked up by the young man with one hand and displayed to everyone in a swaying way.

"Everyone!" The young man smiled and said loudly, "If anyone dares to pick up the back wall of my house, peep at my daughter, and do such shameless deeds, you must remember this!" Don't forget! ”

Zhao Wu glanced at it, then retreated from the crowd of onlookers, trotted all the way, and after crossing two streets, returned to the rich and deep mansion of the master.

"You've seen it all?"

"The villain has no half of a lie, this person's temperament is a little withdrawn and eccentric, the villain is interested in stepping forward to make friends, he always doesn't talk, this time it still took a little trick to see his skills," Zhao Wu respectfully fell to the ground, "This person has martial arts, but he has never used a sword, I don't know if he is really good at using a sword." ”

The lord sighed, "I don't want that much, as long as I am a useful person." In this poor and remote country, how can I invite a real swordsman? ”

"A real swordsman...... Zhao Wu asked cautiously, "What kind of person is the master talking about?" ”

"Do you know, Yuan Shu has a new general under his command, known as the lack of swords, it is said that the sword is like thunder, and he once killed millions of Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an City," the master's eyes unconsciously showed a trace of longing, and his voice became high-pitched and excited, "That's not just a real swordsman!" That's the world's most famous sword god! ”

Chapter 86

As the richest man in Pingyuan City, Liu Ping and the newly arrived Pingyuan made Liu Bei's grudge very delicate, or it can be said that no one knew that the two of them had a feud, not even Liu Bei himself, after all, people with the same surname and class in the world got together, and they were always willing to make love and give each other face. If you cast your eyes, it is common to join a sect, and in any case, it will not be to the point of becoming an enemy. Especially Liu Bei doesn't seem to be an arrogant and violent person, and Liu Ping is a well-known lenient and gentle person in Pingyuan City, so this feud is even more strange.

But in Liu Ping's view, he and Liu Bei are enemies who share the sky - as long as Liu Bei is in the plain for a day, the feud between the two of them will be concluded for a day, and it cannot be unraveled.

The conflict originally stemmed from a case of competition for land, and the case was not a big deal, but there was such an unwritten convention in Plains City: cases of murder and murder to catch criminals were handed over to the commander to deal with, but ordinary litigation disputes were generally handled by the famous and powerful clans in the city. This should not only be done in Plains City, isn't it true that all the principles of the world are like this? The common people are illiterate, stupid and ignorant, if everything has to be reported to the officials for disposal, where can the officials deal with so many trivial matters? Besides, these magistrates have been here for a few years and have left for a few years, so how can they know the details of the local area? Therefore, it is not as good as local affairs, local things.

In addition, if the neighborhood is not very peaceful, when the chief must go out of the city to suppress bandits, he will also rely on the local heroes to send some private soldiers. Therefore, if you don't talk about looking up to others, at least you have to be careful with each other, how can it lead to any trouble?

But Liu Bei is different, this person is stationed here for Gongsun Zhan,-for-tat with Yuan Shao, guarding the front line on the edge of Qingji, so he naturally brought a group of soldiers and horses to come, although the army is not neat, but there are even hundreds of cavalry! This is very troublesome - he does not need to rely on the powerful private soldiers, so he does not care about the majesty of the powerful ones.

Even...... Someone dared to go to him to tell the complaint, and he really dared to take it! Doesn't he know who is in this plain city, and who should deal with these lawsuits?!
