6 Chapter VI
Mrs. Zhao bandaged her wounds with a white cloth angrily, for her, no matter how powerful her cub was, as long as she couldn't get a daughter-in-law, she would have no interest.
"Son, I'll greet you first, Wang Ying is my personal match, I have identified her as a daughter-in-law, now that you are back, I will pick an opportunity to send her to Suchang to propose marriage."
Zhao Pheasant was stunned, half-believing and half-questioning: "She is from Suchang?" ”
Mrs. Zhao immediately told her origin in detail, and when she heard that Zhao Pheasant's head was as big as a fight, she couldn't wait to get the yellow skin to peel it immediately.
Zhizi Mo Ruomu, as if she had seen through his thoughts, Mrs. Zhao said solemnly: "Tan Sanniang, who was captured by Huangpizi, if you want to put it back, I won't interfere, but Wang Ying thought about it, if you secretly let people go, I will immediately hang yourself at the gate and let you die." ”
Zhao Pheasant: "......"
Mrs. Zhao sat aside and continued: "I have taken a closer look at that girl, she is a rich and noble life, a thief and a prosperous husband, with a good face and mouth, a soft temperament, like a little white rabbit, and she is a good match for you." ”
Zhao Pheasant opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Mrs. Zhao didn't give her a chance, "It's too late today, you rest early, and if you have anything to say, you'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
With that, he closed the door and left.
Zhao Pheasant held back his depression and had nowhere to vent, so he could only go back to bed and lie down.
But he could always smell the scent of a woman, and there was a faint fragrance on the pillow and bedding, which made him feel scared and tossed and turned.
On the other side, Liang Ying sat in the dark and could no longer sleep.
Mrs. Zhao gave her her own bed, and although the old lady was considerate, she still couldn't hide the fear in her heart.
She touched her neck uncomfortably, what happened tonight was similar to that in the Qianzheng Palace, the man was as terrifying as a fierce beast, and his whole body was full of savage killing breath.
Thinking of the scene when he was suppressed by his throat, Liang Ying resisted from the bones, and the eyes he looked at people were full of sharp scrutiny, which was inexplicably frightening.
The idea of escaping accumulated to the limit at this moment.
She couldn't be ruined in a bandit's den for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to have anything to do with that savage and dangerous man.
Sleepless nights.
The next morning, Mrs. Zhao came to see her.
Originally, Liang Ying was still a little weak-hearted, and she would ask about the scissors, but Mrs. Zhao didn't take it to heart, but asked her if her neck was uncomfortable.
Liang Ying replied with a strong face: "It's okay." ”
Mrs. Zhao said in an apologetic tone: "Last night was a misunderstanding, I didn't expect Xiuxiu to come back so soon, he was rude, I don't know the severity, I reprimanded him, I won't dare to do this in the future." ”
Liang Ying hid her thoughts and did not answer.
Mrs. Zhao said to herself: "Ah Yingmo is going to be bluffed by him, his usual temperament is not so sharp, in fact, he is ...... It's like a domestic chicken. ”
Liang Ying: "......"
That's a brilliant metaphor!
After a while, Aunt Gong's voice came from outside, calling them to have breakfast.
Liang Ying went out after tidying up in the house, she wanted to avoid Zhao Pheasant, and secretly walked to the door to look around, but saw Zhao Pheasant standing in front of the sink in the yard to wash.
The guy was dressed in plain white coarse linen and short beatings, and the gray linen belt was loosely tied around his waist.
He is tall, with straight shoulders and backs, a thin waist, straight legs, and a cocked buttocks, and his clothes are loose and casually covered on his body.
Liang Ying stood at the door for a while, trying not to attract his attention, and secretly went to the kitchen.
Zhao Pheasant turned his head to glance at her coldly.
At that time, he was wiping his teeth with green salt, Xu was not used to seeing her delicate and weak appearance, so he suddenly made a threatening gesture, which frightened Liang Ying and quickly turned back.
This scene happened to be seen by Mrs. Zhao, who immediately picked up the broom under the eaves and hit Zhao Pheasant.
Liang Ying, who was hiding in the house, heard the old lady's scolding, "You turtle grandson, you know that Ah Ying is timid, and you still scare her like this, do you want to ask for a daughter-in-law?!" ”
That Zhao Pheasant is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and deliberately said: "Huang Pizi doesn't do anything, he snatched other people's women in a good manner, and he sent them wherever he got them." ”
Hearing this, Liang Ying's heart was excited, and he hurriedly poked his head out and said timidly: "The slave family thanked Zhao Da for his compassion. ”
Who expected that as soon as the words fell, they listened to Mrs. Zhao say: "Bastard thing, an innocent girl was taken captive here, and then put it back, and let people not live?" ”
Liang Ying waved her hand again and again, and said with a dog's leg: "Old lady, Ah Ying is not afraid of losing her innocence, and she is not afraid of being poked in the back." ”
Mrs. Zhao said solemnly: "The name of the girl's family is very important, since you came to Manluan Village by mistake, it is my son's responsibility, ask him to send you back to Suchang to propose marriage another day, and your reputation will be ruined." ”
Liang Ying: "......"
Zhao Pheasant's face turned green with anger when he heard this, and he took Yang Zhi and bit hatefully, "A-Niang, I robbed that woman?" ”
Mrs. Zhao replied, "No. ”
Zhao Pheasant shouted injustice, "Since I didn't rob it, why did it fall on my head?" ”
Mrs. Zhao said shamelessly: "It's the yellow skin who grabbed the village for you." And he said, "I am very satisfied." ”
Zhao Pheasant pointed at her, and was so angry that she threw Yang Zhi away, and she was not even in the mood to eat breakfast, so she went out of the yard.
Seeing this, Aunt Gong in the house hurriedly came out and said, "Where does Xiuxiu go early in the morning, no matter how busy she is, she has to use breakfast." ”
Zhao Pheasant's impatient voice came from outside, "Go and peel the yellow skin!" ”
Aunt Gong: "......"
Mrs. Zhao said, "Leave him alone." ”
After Zhao Pheasant was angry with his own old lady, he went to the second shopkeeper Li Su.
Li is about forty years old, with a Chinese face, white face and few lines, and a pair of bright eyes. He is Zhao Pheasant's right-hand man, can read and write, and is still a showman, who fled here last year.
In the village, he has cultural knowledge, but his luck is worse, and there is always a mistake in obtaining fame, and he originally had a wife and daughter, but because of the war, he was the only one left in the family.
In view of the fact that he can write and calculate, is very upright, and is a reasonable person, Zhao Pheasant handed over the affairs of the village to him.
The villagers respected him very much, and if there was friction between neighbors, they would ask him to uphold justice, and his prestige was very high, and he was respected by people as the second treasurer.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Li Su poked his head out of the kitchen, saw Zhao Pheasant, and said in surprise: "Xiuxiu came back late yesterday, why did she get up so early?" ”
Zhao Pheasant sat on the stool under the eaves and said unhappily: "Come and have breakfast." ”
Li Su pursed his lips and smiled, "You're in a hurry." ”
After that, he went into the kitchen and brought a bowl of white porridge, a plate of pancakes and a plate of pickled bamboo shoots to the hall.
Zhao Pheasant was not polite at all, went in and picked up the bowl and scooped the porridge and began to use it.
He has been messing around in the military camp all the year round, he is used to being rough, and he is not as particular about eating as Li Wei at all, he has to chew and swallow slowly, and his movements are gentle, and he has brought the hypocrisy in the literati's bones to the extreme.
Li Wei finished using up a bowl of porridge, and Zhao Pheasant put the bowl to rinse his mouth.
After a full meal, he began to ask the teacher for the crime, and said: "Huang Pizi acted recklessly, Li Er, you also know that he took two women captively, why didn't he let them go back?" ”
Li Yi was silent and replied: "Nowadays, Xiuxiu takes most of the men in the village away, except for those who patrol the mountains and post posts, raise horses and go out to buy, there are few capable men left in the village, and the women have a lot of complicated things in every household, and there is a shortage of manpower, so it is inevitable that they will not be careful." ”
Zhao Pheasant frowned.
Li Su continued: "Now that you are back, it is up to you whether to keep or let those two women go. ”
This pot was thrown on Zhao Pheasant, and he was stimulated again, and his heroic face was green, "The yellow skin of that dog day caused such a disaster to Lao Tzu, I was beaten by the old lady with a broom early this morning, and I had to keep that girl as a pressure village, is this a matter of personnel?" ”
Li Su put down the dishes and chopsticks slowly, coughed dryly, and said: "Xiuxiu is one in twenty this year, it's time to ask a daughter-in-law to put it in the house." ”
Zhao Pheasant: "......"
Li Su said again: "I see that the little lady Wang is very much liked by the old lady, and she is also beautiful and beautiful, I heard that the relatives in the family have been killed, so I left her alone to go to Suchang to join her relatives, she is a poor orphan girl, if Xiuxiu can be included in the house, it is also a beautiful thing." ”
Zhao Pheasant suddenly became irritable, "Li Er, was your brain kicked by a donkey, my aunt is confused, and you are also confused?" And he said, "Sending a woman of unknown origin to my house is too long?" ”
Li Su pondered carefully for a while and asked, "What does Xiuxiu mean to let go?" ”
Zhao Pheasant had a headache and said: "I wanted to get her out, but A-Niang didn't allow it, saying that if she was sent away, she would immediately hang herself at the door of the house with hemp rope." ”
Li Su: "......"
Zhao Pheasant complained: "You know the old lady's temperament, to say yes, she loves to toss blindly when she is old." After a pause, "You'll have to talk about it secretly when you're free, and if you can send them away, you'll be sent away." ”
Li Su nodded and said yes.
Zhao Pheasant was annoyed by him, so he ordered someone to find him, saying that he wanted to assess whether he had slacked off in martial arts practice for a while.
Zhao Pheasant was born in the army, and managed the bandits as soldiers, not only training them every day, but also teaching them the art of war camp of marching and fighting, and improving their physical fitness.
This is also the fundamental reason why they can gain a foothold in Manluan Mountain, and they can avoid several encirclements and suppressions, which shows that their ability is not small.
There were a lot of people gathered on the training ground in the back mountain, and Huang Pizi stood in the center of the field aggrievedly, defending himself: "The big shopkeeper, a certain is also for the sake of your life's events, the old lady chatters every day, saying that there is not even a mother-in-law in the big shopkeeper's house, and I am afraid that I will ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Pheasant, who was standing next to the weapon rack, picked up a red tasseled spear and threw it at him, only to hear the sound of "boom", and the sharp tip of the spear shot straight at the door of the yellow skin.
He was so frightened that he let out an "ouch" and was able to escape.
Zhao Pheasant burst into a foul mouth: "You son of a bitch, let you go down the mountain to rob money, who let you rob the sex?!" ”
Huang Pizi cried out for wrong, begging for mercy: "A certain swear to heaven that he had never thought about those two girls, and he didn't think about it at that time, so he watched the mothers-in-law in the village work hard and kidnapped them to do miscellaneous labor, originally there were four, and two were released." ”
Zhao Pheasant's forehead was full of green tendons, his well-defined face was full of haze, obviously stumped by this hot potato, and pointed at him and said: "What are you doing with so much, pick up the gun!" ”
The yellow skin crawled to pick up the red tassel gun.
Zhao Pheasant was determined to show him the color, so he picked up the ash pole on the weapon rack and attacked him, with the momentum of splitting his head and covering his face, so that Huang Pizi couldn't parry and retreated.
Many people in the village went to watch the excitement.
Tan Sanniang heard that Zhao Pheasant was on the training ground, so she was really curious about that kid, and she also went to watch.
The drill ground was dusty, and the two rough men fought each other with force.
Zhao Pheasant has a vigorous posture and is extremely aggressive, like a murderous cheetah, not giving Huang Pizi a chance to breathe.
If the spear can't be beaten, change the big sword, change the short sword if the big knife can't be beaten, and change the short sword if you can't beat it, and then change it again, so I changed four or five kinds of weapons one after another, and Zhao Pheasant accompanied them one by one to the end.
He had a wound on his arm, and he was bleeding faintly, but he didn't know it.
Huangpizi couldn't bear to be beaten and screamed by him, and he didn't dare to beg for mercy.
The two fought fiercely for nearly an hour before Huang Pizi was completely killed.
The big man fell to the ground like a Mount Tai, and said with a pant breath: "The big shopkeeper spared so-and-so, and so-and-so will not dare next time!" ”
Zhao Pheasant threw down his weapon, kicked him angrily, and scolded: "You are a bad bastard, you have caused me such a big disaster, and you dare to have a next time?!" ”
Huang Pizi had a strong desire to survive, and said busily: "If there is a chicken next time, cut a certain cock!" ”
Zhao Pheasant kicked him again, and the boredom in his heart was relieved.
He was sweating and wanted to go back to wash, but when he thought of the delicate woman in the house, his head was big, so he simply went to Li Sui's yard.
Li Su was not at home, and was counting the property that Zhao Pheasant had stolen from Wanping in the cave at this time.
This time, he took forty people to do a big deal.
Those belongings were all taken by the Taishou of Wanping County to be dedicated to the Marquis of Guangyang, but he stole them back halfway, leaving a few carts of bricks for the government.
Zhao Pheasant is a bit of a hoarder, especially fond of hoarding.
Whether it is weapons, gold and silver treasures, or food and spices, he always likes to hoard a large number of materials in the cave, just like an evil dragon guarding treasures, not for reserves, but for simple psychological satisfaction.
He is responsible for robbing, and Li Su is responsible for distributing and taking care of it.
The two cooperate inside and out, and they cooperate tacitly.
After taking a rough cold shower, Zhao Pheasant lay down on the couch in Li Wei's house, came back late last night, and was startled by Liang Ying, and slept not well.
This lay down in the afternoon, and I didn't even eat lunch.
Mrs. Zhao didn't ask, but Liang Ying was worried in her heart, she didn't have a good impression of Zhao Pheasant, she only felt that the man was fierce and short-tempered.
Aunt Gong frequently comforted her, saying that the kid was just fierce and liked to put on a stinky face, but his character was not bad, but he was a little wild.
But no matter how untamable he is, he is always chased and beaten by Mrs. Zhao with a broom, and he is a filial son.
No, Zhao Pheasant didn't come back at night, and when she learned that he was staying at Li Su's, Mrs. Zhao picked up a broom and went out.
Before the tea cup was ready, Zhao Pheasant was escorted back by the old lady with a broom.
Liang Ying was in the house at the time, and heard the old lady reprimanding her son, saying that he was still afraid of the little lady and had no interest.
Zhao Pheasant made an excuse and said that he was suspicious of business with Li.
Mrs. Zhao was dissatisfied: "What can the two old men discuss at night?" He added, "Ming'er has done a good job of the furniture and utensils in Ah Ying's room, such as beds, tables and chairs, dressing tables, bronze mirrors, and screens." ”
She went on a lot of things, and wanted the best.
Zhao Pheasant listened impatiently and interrupted: "A-Niang really thinks this is her house, this is a bandit den, I can't afford to serve it." ”
Mrs. Zhao slapped him angrily, and said in a low voice: "You don't want to be so hanging, when I gave her jade bracelets, pink beads and gold bricks as a dowry, people didn't even blink when they looked at them, and said that they couldn't stand it, so let me leave it to my daughter-in-law, don't spoil things." ”
Zhao Pheasant was skeptical.
Mrs. Zhao whispered: "You have also seen her appearance, fine skin and tender meat, pampered, most of them are rich daughters who escaped from the capital, or they are official ladies in the princes and nobles, otherwise they can be indifferent when they see those good things?" It can be seen that he has seen the world on weekdays and is not tempted. ”
When she said this, Zhao Pheasant was even more suspicious in her heart, and she pondered for a long time before she said seriously: "A-Niang, if Wang Ying really has a net worth background, you can take advantage of her distress to get her to do the village, and when she finds relatives in the future, my bandit den will not be served in a pot?" ”
Mrs. Zhao was silent, and said persistently: "I fell in love with her, and I felt that she had eyes, was born well, and her life was also good, thief Wangfu." ”
Zhao Pheasant: "......"
Mrs. Zhao: "This is a baby bump that fell from the sky." And said confidently, "She herself said that her relatives died in Beijing, and we will be her relatives and her dependence in the future." ”
Zhao Pheasant felt that he couldn't make sense with her, so he went into the house by himself.
The next morning, Liang Ying didn't dare to go out, and deliberately avoided Zhao Pheasant, but Mrs. Zhao forced the guy to bring her breakfast.
Looking at the small half bowl of dumplings, Zhao Pheasant couldn't help but ask his soul: "Is this to feed the cat?" ”
Aunt Gong said: "Ah Ying eats a small amount of food, and she doesn't need much for one meal. ”
Mrs. Zhao unceremoniously urged her cubs, "If you eat a meal and she eats for three days, it is much easier to feed than you." ”
Zhao Pheasant: "......"
It's annoying to talk!
Two old women pushed him to deliver food.
Unexpectedly, when he walked to the door, Liang Ying suddenly came out.
Because she figured out that if she wanted to escape, she couldn't hide all day long, she had to prepare things, plan routes, and explore the terrain of the back mountains, and there were many things to do.
The two were caught off guard and took a look.
Liang Ying couldn't help but take two steps back, saluted Zhao Pheasant with a tense face, suppressed the fear in his heart, and greeted: "The big shopkeeper is early." ”
Zhao Pheasant didn't want to have contact with her, so he directly stuffed the bowl into her hand and turned to leave.
Liang Ying still had the courage to go to the table, although there was a bandit sitting opposite. She eats small, eats slowly, and is silent.
Zhao Pheasant is a rough man, and he can't stand that pretentiousness.
The more Sven she is, the more rude he becomes, three bowls of gluttony, and the wind and clouds, just like a devil entering the village to starve for food, so rude in front of her that he can't look directly.
It's all done with just half a cup of tea!
Mrs. Zhao was directly dumbfounded.
Liang Ying clearly realized that the guy deliberately disgusted her, endured it, and decided to fight back, and said slowly: "Ah Ying has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Zhao Pheasant wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "You say." ”
Liang Ying said in a calm tone and said gently: "The eating habits of the big shopkeeper are not good, and there is a reason why eating is careful and slow.
"Three bowls of gluttony, you will enter the stomach with half a cup of tea, which will cause abdominal pain and disease; secondly, he will gain weight and become a dead fat man with a fat head and big ears; The third is that eating too fast will make the blood viscous, and if it is accidentally blocked, it is easy to cause sudden death. ”
Zhao Pheasant: "......"
Liang Ying looked at him and said sarcastically word by word: "The big shopkeeper is handsome and handsome, and he has a flower in ten miles and eight towns, and he doesn't want to become a dead fat man." ”
Zhao Pheasant: "......"
That broken mouth...... It's fucking poisonous!
