Chapter 70, Rainy Night Killing
This time I came to visit Li Shucheng, I had unexpected gains, and I understood the path of cultivation in the future. Yang Guo was full of spirits, and his determination to cultivate martial arts had never been so firm.
He has always been very lucky, when he was four years old, he was taught by Li Shucheng to teach internal skills, and when he was eleven years old, Ouyang Feng taught him toad skills, and then went to Zhongnan Mountain to learn the true martial arts, and learned the ancient tomb martial arts and part of the Nine Yin True Scriptures in the ancient tomb, and came out of the ancient tomb and was taught by Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong, as well as the Longcheng swordsmanship and Shenhe finger taught by Li Shucheng, and later met Huang Yaoshi to pass on the magic power of the fingers, and he could break into the Condor Valley at will. Carefully calculated, each of them is a superior martial art, and he is simply blessed! If he can't achieve anything like this, it's a matter of mind.
When Li Shucheng communicated with Yang Guo, he thought in his heart that if Xiaoyaozi and Wuyazi knew that someone had obtained so many martial arts by luck, and there were many top-level divine skills in it, I was afraid that they would be angry and come back to life. They have painstakingly collected a lot of martial arts cheats, but there are few excellent martial arts books in them, but Yang Guo casually walked around, and someone sent martial arts, and people can really be angry to death than people.
After Yang Guo left, two months later, the contract of Ah Jiang and the others expired, and Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue summoned a few people to the hall.
"When you first entered the mansion, you said that you would be here for five years. Now that Ah Jiang and a few of you have done it, Hu Shan and Hu Hai and your two brothers are not a few days away, let you leave the house today. Li Shucheng said. The Great Song Dynasty abolished slavery, there was no slave, there was no deed of sale, and most of the servants in large families were free, equivalent to migrant workers such as nannies and aunts in later generations. However, there is also a disguised deed of sale, and the reputation is that the main family accepts sons and daughters. Of course, Li Shucheng is not so black-hearted, but only stipulates the number of years of work.
"Sir, we don't want to leave. Ah Jiang reacted and hurriedly said. They have lived well in the mansion over the years, and they don't live much, Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue also treat them very well, and teach them some martial arts. When encountering such a master's house, no one wants to leave.
"You're all adults, and it's time for you to start a family. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Do you still stay in the mansion to be a subordinate after getting married? Where can I find something to do when I go out? And the salary is much higher than here." Nor can we keep you in the way. ”
"In addition, in order to thank you for your diligence all these years, I will reward you with two hundred taels of silver, so that you may have money to marry. Li Shucheng continued with a smile, "You girls also have a little private money, so as not to go back to your parents' house when you quarrel with your husband after getting married." ”
"Hehe!" the boys laughed, and the girls blushed.
"Live a good life when you go out. The few groups of boys and girls who left the house before basically had a good life, only one who was addicted to gambling lost his home, and finally owed money and was crippled by the casino. Li Shucheng said, "As for whether he starved to death on the streets in the end, it is unknown." ”
After dismissing Ajiang and his gang, the house was suddenly empty.
"Take a day off today and leave tomorrow. Li Shucheng said. It had been agreed before that after Ah Jiang and the others left, they would not be in a hurry to recruit people for the time being, and would go out and walk around first.
The reason why he decided to go out for a walk was because Li Shucheng felt that it was useless to stay at home and practice hard, so it was better to go out for a walk to find inspiration, and the condensation entrance was already on the right track, and it was the same to condense there.
The next day, the two traveled lightly, went out to the west, and after crossing the Taihu Lake, they walked along the mountain road and enjoyed the scenery all the way.
That afternoon, Li Shucheng and the others saw that it was going to rain, so they found a broken temple nearby, intending to take shelter from the rain here.
There was a thick layer of ash inside the ruined temple, and the two of them casually cut a handful of grass to clean it, and when Li Shucheng went out to look for firewood, he caught a few hares and pheasants by the way.
"As luck would have it, I caught three hares and five pheasants, and I had something to eat tonight. Li Shucheng carried a bundle of firewood in his right hand and a few hares and pheasants in his left hand into the broken temple and said with a smile.
Li Shucheng first found a pile of firewood, which was estimated to be enough to burn overnight, before he went to clean the pheasants and hares.
"Well, the smell is getting stronger. Holding a branch in his hand, with a hare roasted on it, Li Shucheng swallowed his saliva, snorted and said, "I knew that I just bought some dim sum and roast chicken, and I don't have to wait." ”
"Who knew it would rain?" Jiang Mingyue said with a smile, "Why don't you buy some for every town you pass in the future?"
"Uh-huh! This time I came out for a long time, and staying overnight in the wild is not a matter of one or two times, so I must be prepared. Li Shucheng agreed, "Hey! It's raining." Fortunately, we prepared the firewood, otherwise the moisture would have been tidal as soon as it came in, and it would have been uncomfortable. ”
"Meat was also prepared. Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Of course, being hungry is just as uncomfortable. Li Shucheng said, "The people take food as the sky, and we are not immortals." Well, it should be cooked, I'll try it first. As he spoke, he ripped off a handful of legs, looked at the flesh, took a bite, chewed a few times, and said, "It's cooked." ”
"Yo, someone's coming. At this time, they are still on the road, and it seems that many people have already become soup chickens. Li Shucheng said with a smile.
Then the sound of cars and horses and footsteps outside stopped, and a middle-aged man's voice said, "Young master, there is a temple in front, do you want to go in and take shelter from the rain?"
"There's a fire in the temple, you go and ask if you can let us in to take shelter from the rain. A young, gentle voice said.
"Yes, young master. The middle-aged man's voice agreed, and then footsteps sounded, approaching the broken temple.
The door opened, and Li Shucheng saw the middle-aged man. Li Shucheng was wondering why the door was still there at this time!
"May I ask this son, can we come in to shelter from the rain?" The middle-aged man opened the door and saw Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue, and asked with his fists clenched.
"Yes. Li Shucheng agreed.
"Thank you, Childe!" The middle-aged man hugged his fists, thanked him, turned around and walked to the door, and said, "Young master, they agreed." ”
Soon a young man dressed in a silver satin shirt walked in and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
"It doesn't matter. Li Shucheng said, "Many of you are soaked, we have prepared a lot of firewood, you can burn the fire." ”
Soon, the fire on the other side also burned, and five people gathered around the fire, and gradually the mist steamed. Although a few people feel a little uncomfortable, you can't spend the night in wet clothes, right?
A few people quieted down, and they could see that Li Shucheng and the two were eating, smelling the fragrance of the roast rabbit, and secretly swallowing their saliva one by one, but they didn't bring anything to eat.
Seeing that his subordinates were like this, the young man came to Li Shucheng again and asked, "This brother, I wonder if you still have any extra food?" Can you sell us a little?"
"Forget about selling, we won't be able to eat it anyway, so let's give it to you. Li Shucheng said, handing over the wooden box he had just dug up with a dagger, which contained the remaining one hare and three pheasants.
"Thank you so much!" the young man thanked him again, and reached out to take the wooden box, only to feel that the wooden box was very heavy.
Time passed, and soon it was dark, but the rain was still dripping, and there was no sign of stopping. At this moment, there were footsteps again.
"It seems that there are a lot of people rushing today!" Li Shucheng said with a smile.
With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and Li Shucheng looked at the somewhat rotten door, for fear that it would fall like this.
"There's a lot of people! And barbecue. The two strong men with knives who came in said.
"Ahem! There are a lot of people. Li Shucheng said. The sound is sandwiched with internal force, and it has its own momentum.
"Huh?" the two of them were taken aback when they heard the voice and looked at Li Shucheng. I didn't expect to look like a scholar, but it turned out to be a master! Just a cough made the two of them shake their hearts.
The two glanced at each other, and the man who came in turned around and closed the door gently, and then sat honestly on the side, not daring to make up for the fire in front of Li Shucheng at all.
There were indeed a lot of people hurrying, and soon there were about twenty people in the house. There are conveniences to come in and go out, but Li Shucheng found that one of them went out and didn't come back for a long time.
"This person has sharp-beaked monkey gills, well, having sharp-beaked monkey gills does not necessarily mean that a person is a bad person, and you can't judge a person's good or bad by their appearance. Li Shucheng recalled the appearance of the person who did not come back after leaving, and thought to himself, "However, his eyes are rolling around, and he really doesn't look like a good person! It seems that something is going on tonight." ”
Sure enough, soon a group of people with knives and swords pushed the door in, and then the crowd separated, and a man in his twenties walked to the front and said fiercely: "Lao Tzu is the second master of Qinglongzhai, and he came tonight to make a fortune and hand over all the valuable things! Whoever wants to be searched out without a private hid for a while, he must break his hands and feet! Hey! And the girls! Luck tonight, take the girls away." ”
Zeng Wei and Zeng Wu, who had pushed the door in before, grabbed their knives and stood up when the bandits came in, and after listening to the bandits' words, they unconsciously turned their heads to look at Li Shucheng.
There were also more than a dozen people in the ruined temple who took shelter from the rain and pulled out their knives to confront the bandits, but at first glance, most of them looked like goods, and their hands were so shaky that they couldn't even hold the knife.
"Alas!" Li Shucheng sighed and said, "It's robbing money and robbing women, it seems that you have done a lot of evil things, and I can't let you go now." ”
"Boy, what are you talking about, big ......" The words of the second master came to an abrupt end, and after a few breaths, he fell down with a "bang", and then he wanted to cause a chain reaction, the bandits fell one after another, and Li Shucheng had disappeared.
Zeng Wei Zeng Wu looked at the second master, only to see a dry branch stuck in the throat of the second master, the two looked at each other, and their hearts were so shocked that they couldn't speak!
Then Li Shucheng walked in and said to Zeng Wei and Zeng Wu: "It's all settled, there are a total of twelve people outside, you go and bring them in." ”
