Chapter 144: The One-Armed Hero
The full moon wine of the little master of the Wei family is not a martial arts competition or anything, except for gifts and congratulations on dinner, there is naturally no superfluous program, and a baby can't show up on a cold day, so most of the people who finished the luncheon and dinner also said goodbye.
Of course, if someone wants to play in Desheng Mansion, whether it is a restaurant teahouse or a Qinglou archway, all expenses will be borne by the Wei family, and even the best shops in the city, in addition to not getting involved in the gambling house Qinglou, in fact, a considerable part of it is the Wei family's industry.
Du Heng and the two clan brothers came out of the inn arranged by the Wei family early in the morning of the second day, ready to go to the stable to lead the horses, but they didn't expect that there was a groom waiting for them.
Seeing Du Heng, who had a broken arm, leading people out of the back door of the inn, the skinny groom wrapped in a thick cotton jacket suddenly lit up and rushed out of the stable.
"This is Du Daxia, right?"
Du Heng was slightly surprised, he usually pre-stored the number for the inn to let the groom lead the horses when the three of them came, but the other party shouldn't know him, right?
The groom rubbed his hands together and sighed, and hurriedly reached out to the stable on the right.
"I guess you're right, the head of the family ordered before, saying that the horses you came to were accidentally led by the wrong people, and deliberately paid a few more horses, there are carriages over there, if you want to go to some counties and towns in Desheng Mansion, I can also drive you there, this cold day, or the carriage is comfortable!"
In the stable on the right, there are three jujube red horses, judging from the bright hair and smart eyes without variegation, well-proportioned muscle fat and tall physique, they are definitely three good horses, at least definitely much better than the three before the Du family.
"Hehe, Du Shaoxia, these three rouge horses are the ones that the owner of the family paid to you, the endurance is good, the strength is fast, the temper is docile to the master, and the beast can kick a wolf to death, just eat too much. ”
The groom rubbed his hands together and pointed to the side of the carriage.
"The inside of this carriage is covered with furs, and there is a stove, it is comfortable and warm to sit on, and you are not tired at all when you come down for two or three hundred miles, hehe, Du Shaoxia, do you want me to drive the car for you?"
Du Heng frowned and looked at this shrewd groom, and suddenly found that although he was short and short, and his fingers were red from the cold, his knuckles were thick and his hands were hooked like claws, and he was obviously a good hand with good martial arts.
"Does the Wei family master know where I'm going?"
"Hehe, look at what you say, how can the Wei family master know this, I just think you may be able to use it!"
The two Wei family disciples behind Du Heng had already looked at a few rouge horses, and their eyes lit up.
Just like the men who loved cars in their previous lives, how can the men here, especially the children of the rivers and lakes, not love horses, especially good horses like rouge horses.
"Thank you for the kindness of the Wei family master, we will go on horseback, and we don't need to take a carriage!"
Du Heng was really not used to having such an outsider drive for them, and looking at the appearance of the two clan brothers behind him, he probably couldn't wait to ride a horse.
"Hey, okay, I'll put the saddle on your ......"
Everything was done, the three rouge horses had been pulled out of the stable, and Du Heng and the three of them were also about to get on their horses and leave, at this time, the groom rubbed his hands together and smiled and spoke, looking very much like his master Wei Wuxing.
"Uh, Du Shaoxia, the head of the family also mentioned it a little, saying that if you are going to Ning'an County......"
Du Heng's eyes froze, this guy really knew.
As if he didn't see Du Heng's eyes, the groom said to himself.
"That, the family said, the jujube tree in the gentleman's yard has hung some red fruits this year, and it still doesn't fall, and the young man who watches the garden doesn't pick or sell it... With the identity of Mr. Du Shaoxia's old acquaintance, presumably the young man will send you a few pills, hehe...... The head of the family said that the Wei family is willing to buy a few grains from you with a lot of money. ”
Buying dates?
Du Heng was even more surprised, with the Wei family's financial resources, how could they not get dates if they wanted to eat them, could it be that the jujube trees in Mr. Ji's courtyard were anything special?
"I'll talk about this matter when Du comes back, don't pass it first, thank you on my behalf for the Wei family!"
Du Heng bowed his hand to leave, and the groom hurriedly returned the salute.
Then the three Du Jiaerlang rode out of the back of the inn.
The rouge horse is indeed a good horse, fast and obedient, and the feeling of galloping makes the three Du family children extremely happy, especially after going out of the city, there is no need to worry about pedestrians, and there is a sense of galloping.
It's just that this exhilaration, which lasted for half an hour, quickly decayed and was taken away by the cold wind that came to your face.
The faster the horse runs, the faster the body loses temperature, even if there are martial arts, the three of them are too frozen, especially in the past two days, the temperature in Jizhou has been lower.
The Fucheng of Desheng Prefecture is about 150 miles away from Ning'an County in a straight line, but the road winds around and walks for nearly 300 miles, either staying in houses or inns along the way, and only arriving in Ning'an County on the third day.
"Ho...... I knew... Just sit in that carriage......"
One of the Du family members sat on the back of the horse, grasping the reins and rubbing their hands, and the white gas spewed out from the nose of the healthy horse under him was more than a foot long.
"Okay, don't complain, I'll go back and borrow a copper pot from the Wei family master with a cheeky face, and we'll eat that hot pot again." ”
"Hehe, Brother Heng, this is what you said!"
"Yes, no repentance!"
The three of them led the high-headed horse into Ning'an County, which also attracted the attention of some people in the county.
After a little inquiry, I learned about Mr. Ji's residence, after all, only Lu Chengfeng had been to that small pavilion at the beginning, and the others only knew the name and approximate location.
The villagers were enthusiastic, just leading the way and not collecting Du Heng's money, and when they arrived at the small pavilion in the depths of Tianniufang, a hundred steps outside, the man in the padded jacket who was also from Tianniufang pointed to the position where the branches and leaves were still green and a little red.
"That's Ju'an Xiaoge, Mr. Ji used to live there, you can go by yourself. ”
After Du Heng and the others thanked him, he led the horse to the direction of the small courtyard.
When I came here before, I heard the man say that this jujube tree is peculiar, and now in the freezing season, the tree is full of green, and the scattered red spots between the leaf veins are as gorgeous as red flowers, and it is hard to imagine that this is the scenery of severe winter.
The courtyard door is open, the back door of the courtyard is also open, and through the back door, you can see that there is a teenager in the open space behind the courtyard, where there is a quilt left by Mr. Ji, and there is also the Yin family's own, and the young man is Yin Qing.
Yin Qing, who heard the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, also turned his head to look outside the gate of the front yard, and found three strangers, especially the empty sleeves of Du Heng's broken arm made him stunned for a moment, and then looked at them all wearing swords, they should be from the rivers and lakes.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
Du Heng hurriedly replied.
"In Xia Duheng, it is Mr. Ji's old acquaintance, and he came to visit Ning'an County. ”
"Du Heng?"
Yin Qing looked at it, combined with this severed hand, and suddenly thought of something.
"Ahh
Du Heng's broken arm was too recognizable, Yin Qing put down what he was doing and ran from the wasteland in the backyard to the small courtyard in front of him, welcoming the three of them into the yard, and he was also very curious about the three rouge horses.
Ma Li took out a few more cups from the small pavilion kitchen, and then poured water from the kettle that was already on the stone table.
"Drink water, this water is still hot, the tea is gone, you are unlucky, Mr. has not come back since he traveled, when he was not there, our family helped him look at the yard, and now my father also rushed to take the exam, just I looked, there were more dates in the yard a few months earlier, and now there are fewer ......"
Yin Qing chattered with Du Heng with excitement, and then asked how the nine people fought the tiger at the beginning.
In fact, the so-called process of fighting the tiger was completely abused by the tiger demon, Du Heng couldn't say anything at all, he could only try to talk about the preparation and simple fighting process, and then use a siege to prevaricate the past, but Yin Qing still listened to it with relish.
After Du Heng finished speaking, he also took the opportunity to ask Yin Qing about some Ji Yuan, and the villagers who led the way before also said that Mr. Ji was a strange person, but the real situation was more appropriate to ask the Yin family.
In addition to the matter of ghosts and gods and the fact that Mr. Wei Wudaunting was told not to say about the jade, the other Yin Qing was also very energetic to talk about, from saving the fox and releasing the fox to seeing Mr. dancing with swords and flowers and leaves like a dragon, and also talked about the strange thing that the jujube tree matured overnight in order to send Mr. on a long trip.
Even Du Heng was amazed when he heard this, and the two Du family brothers were a little unbelieving when they heard it, feeling that they were children bragging about it.
However, Yin Qing didn't notice the pouting of the two Du family disciples, but became more and more excited the more he talked.
"That's right, wait, I'll go home, I've got something for you!"
Yin Qing ran out of the courtyard and went home as he spoke, leaving the three of them looking at each other in the courtyard.
"These dates are as red as fire, I don't know how they taste, Brother Heng, let's pick two and taste them?"
"Don't move!"
Du Heng glared at his brother.
After a while, Yin Qing ran back with a book in a hurry.
"I'm back~"
Yin Qing entered the courtyard, slightly panting and put the book on the stone table, because it was difficult to turn it with his hands, he licked some saliva and turned the page, turning to the middle part.
"Hehe, this is what I wrote myself, and I sometimes write down some interesting things that Mr. Ji has said. ”
Yin Qing turned to this page, there was Du Heng's name and a brief introduction on it, as well as some people and things he didn't know, but his handwriting was neat at a young age.
"Hehe, look, Mr. Ji only told me about two one-armed heroes, one is you, and the other is this named Yang Guo!"
"Yang Guo, who is this?"
"You don't know this, well, it's not my Dazhen, or it's not a person of this era, it should be an ancient, you don't care who he is, anyway, he's very powerful, even Mr. Ji says he's powerful!"
Yin Qing flipped through the book and showed Du Heng some incomplete contents of his account.
Since childhood, he was bullied, looked down upon, cut off by his uncle's children, fled alone, and was humiliated by Zhongqi poison......
In the middle, Du Heng and his two clan brothers felt numb, this person is not dead like this, can he still rise up to fight?
To the back, to the eagle as a friend of the hard practice for decades, what is even more rare is that always have a righteous heart, martial arts without losing the heart of chivalry, known as the Condor hero Yang Guo.
Because considering that when Yin was young and young, Ji Yuan harmonized the love of some adults when he told this story, it highlighted Yang Guowu's journey and the righteousness of the world.
"Is there really such a person? It can't be that Mr. Ji who made it up, right?"
Yin Qing was very unhappy when he heard the words of this Du family disciple.
"Editor? Are you a storyteller for Mr. Ji, and do you still need to make up Mr. Ji's story? If you know that he is connected to the city......
Speaking of this, Yin Qing immediately covered his mouth and almost missed it.
"Anyway, it's definitely true, believe it or not!"
Speaking of this, Yin Qing said to Du Heng very excitedly.
"Du Daxia, Mr. Ji told me about these two one-armed heroes in total, the first one is so powerful, you are the second one!"
The sentence "You are the second" made Du Heng stunned for a while, some dumbfounded and some laughed, and some couldn't cry or laugh.
"By the way, since it's Du Daxia who is here, I'll pick a few of these jujubes for you, and the jujube tree will definitely agree, and I can also taste it again hahahaha!"
Yin Qing became excited again, and ran under the jujube tree in a hurry.
Big jujube tree agrees?
This was another sentence that made Du Heng and the others wonder, but Du Heng and the two Du family disciples didn't think deeply, they just watched Yin Qing climb the tree in three or two with great skill.
