Chapter 380: Horn Bow
There are more than 200 households in the village, all of them are old neighbors who know the roots, who will not know the details of other people's families, the guy looks at the four fins does not look like a Han Chinese, and is a rich master, thought about it and ran to ask the shopkeeper, came back and said: "Guest officer, you order food first, when you eat, I will go back to the village and ask, if there is a willing, I will bring people directly." ”
In fact, Sangcun still maintains the habits of the Xianbei people, grazing a large number of cattle and sheep, it is such a small shop, you can see half a fresh sheep hanging on the stove, the four fins let Zhu Wu order, ordered five catties of white-cut mutton, a pot of mutton blood soup, a braised fish, two vegetables; When the chef served the dishes one after another, and the three of them had eaten normally, the guy brought a middle-aged man in.
Yang Zhi's eyes immediately fell on the bow in the middle-aged man's hand, unlike the tiger wing bow, the bow in the middle-aged man's hand was gray-black, like an iron bow covered with dust, but Yang Zhi could conclude that the bow was not an iron tire bow, because that kind of quaint shape was not an iron tire bow at all. The four-fin eyes were like cones, and he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Is it a bull's horn bow?" I have seen it in the Great Buddha Temple, a royal temple in Western Xia, and it is a kind of horned cow's horn, which is shaped like a cow, and the horn grows on the nose, just like this painting on the wall. ”
Only then did the big guy understand the reason for the four-fin question, there was indeed a horned cow on the wall, which was hit by an arrow, and was fleeing for his life in a panic, and the middle-aged man nodded and said, "One thousand taels of silver." ”
Yang Zhishun took the bow in his hand, a good bow in addition to the elastic bow arm, but also look at the bowstring; the horn of this horn bow is harder than steel but very light, a bit like a thousand years of rosewood, the bowstring is actually Tian silk, it should be made of some kind of glue, the strength is large and the toughness is good. Yang Zhi nodded and said, "It's worth the price, let me ask, was this bow made by your ancestors, or was it captured on the battlefield?"
Yang Zhi's posture was very much about nursing the hospital, and the middle-aged man said with admiration: "The strong man has good eyesight, I won't tell you, this bow was rewarded to my family by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty back then, we really don't know the origin, we haven't used it for so many years, and the family can't survive it, so it's better to sell it." ”
Yang Zhi asked politely: "Sir, your surname?"
The middle-aged man was stunned again and said: "No wonder a strong man can do this line of nursing home, my name is Hao Siwen, I am a wealthy person, and everyone here calls me Jing Muxuan." ”
The rhino is a large moose, with its horns transversely formed into a plate-shaped, with many forks, living in the subarctic coniferous forest area, the well wood is one of the twenty-eight constellations, and there are many auspicious places to go; presumably Hao Siwen still has a certain influence here, but it also causes a lot of trouble. Hao Siwen is also one of the heroes of Liangshan, but in Yang Zhi's eyes, it is much more pleasing to the eye than Guan Sheng, who has cut off his arm; Yang Zhi nodded, turned to the four fins and said, "Senior, I have useful for this bow, I bought it." ”
Sifin waved his hand generously and said, "Anyway, the money is on you, you pay for it." ”
Yang Zhi really took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and handed it to Hao Siwen, and when Hao Siwen counted it clearly and put it in his arms, Yang Zhi said again: "We still lack a nursing home, are you interested in going out of this mountain village?"
Hao Siwen is a little strange, he sees that a person should be the master to speak, how can a nursing home dare to speak, but think about Yang Zhi said that the old man is just a senior, and said that he would spend a thousand taels of silver to buy a bow The old man agreed, presumably this nursing home is the old man's nephew, and his words have weight. Hao Siwen asked, "How much can I get paid?"
"Five hundred taels of silver a year. "Anyway, it's the person Yang Zhi values, and it's not his own money that he spends, and the four fins are more generous than ever; Zhu Wu almost didn't laugh out loud, Yang Zhi made it clear that he wanted Hao Siwen to join the gang. Hao Siwen admitted it, there was no way not to be serious, even if he went to be a dart master, he couldn't earn this amount in a year. Hao Siwen looked at Yang Zhi again: "Is it true?"
Yang Zhi nodded and said, "At this price, since you know that your family is here, you can advance one hundred taels of silver for household use when you set off." ”
Hao Siwen agreed on the spot, Zhu Wu borrowed pen and ink, and asked Hao Siwen to sign the paperwork, the name of the document on one side is Qin Mianshou signed by Yang Zhi, and the name on the other side is Hao Siwen; when it was time to press the handprint, the four fins still waved his hand to Yang Zhi and said: "You are a good helper, you press the handprint, and the money is a lot." ”
Yang Zhi directly pressed his handprint, gave Hao Siwen a hundred taels of silver for settling-in money, and asked Hao Siwen to come early in the morning; how many people envy Hao Siwen, Hao Siwen is a wealthy person, he is a hunter in the village, he is valued by a big boss, and he earns five hundred taels of silver a year, where to find a good thing. When he returned to the inn, Zhu Wu asked the guys, only to know that when Hao Siwen's mother was pregnant, she fled to Sang Village alone, and the locals saw her pitiful, so they took her in, and later gave birth to Hao Siwen, and Hao Siwen grew up in the village.
Hao Siwen was accepted as an apprentice by an old man in the village, and learned a body of his own, after his mother died, he went to his father-in-law's house, his father-in-law only had one daughter, and the family was in the middle of the road; everyone in the village knew that Zhang Bow didn't like archery, so it was of little use, and he once wanted to sell it twice, but the price of 1,000 taels was not negotiated. Zhu Wu thanked the man, casually gave a reward of three coins of silver, and asked the man to prepare boiling water for both rooms.
Yang Zhi and Zhu Wu came to the other room, and Zhu Wu asked, "Do you know this person, and you want to recruit him as soon as you see the name?"
Yang Zhi said half-truthfully: "I saw a list somewhere, and Hao Siwen was on it, so I wanted to give it a try." This list is very important, so Brother Zhu, please forgive me for not being able to tell the calendar, but I can tell you the name, these people are all masters, but I don't know how many people can use it for me. ”
Yang Zhi actually doubted for a long time in his heart, could it be that when Shi Nai'an wrote the Water Margin, he also had a roster of Song Dynasty people at hand, and he added his name directly to the book, otherwise how could even some nicknames be true. But such a thing as crossing can already happen, what else can Yang Zhi not be able to adapt to, Yang Zhi has already made up his mind, even if he is dreaming, he can't die in a dream, he must wake up with a smile.
Zhu Wu naturally knew that Yang Zhi said half of it, but as Yang Zhi said a personal name, Zhu Wu's face became more and more solemn, Zhu Wu was sure that Yang Zhi had not seen most of them, but Yang Zhi knew that person;
