Chapter 4: Campfire Night Talk

At this time, Lao Huang was guarding the bonfire, but there was still Da Kui by his side.

Tang He saw Da Kui sitting there with a full face, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why doesn't the little brother rest?" Da Kui didn't speak. Tang He knew his intentions, reached into his arms and took out a small piece of silver and said: "This is one or two silver, and it should be used as firewood money." Little brother, take it."

(PS: The currency system of the Yuan Dynasty is all paper money, and the use of gold and silver is strictly prohibited.) However, in order to exploit the common people, the Yuan court issued paper money proliferated, causing prices to rise. In order to make a living, the people still privately use gold, silver and copper coins as currency. One string of 100 texts, ten strings consistently, consistently one or two silver, ten runs one or two gold)

When Da Kui saw the silver, his mouth trembled with excitement: "No, no, no, this is too much." "You know, on weekdays, Da Kui can sell a load of firewood for more than 30 wen, and this tael of silver is 1,000 wen! How dare Da Kui accept it?

Tang He laughed and reached out to stuff the silver into Da Kui's hand. Da Kui took the silver and felt that this big brother Tang was really good, and couldn't help laughing: "You are so good, I will sell you firewood tomorrow!" Tang He laughed when he heard this, and Lao Huang on the side also laughed. Seeing that they were all laughing a little inexplicably, Da Kui scratched his head and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lao Huang smiled: "You kid is really real, we met by chance today." Tomorrow, everyone will go their separate ways, but where are you going to find this General Tang?"

Da Kui didn't care with a smirk, turned his head to look at Tang He, and took the initiative to ask, "Are you a general?"

Tang He thought it was funny, so he said, "Yes!"

"Then you must have brought a lot of soldiers?" Da Kui asked curiously, Tang He just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Tang He didn't answer, Da Kui asked again: "How old is Brother Tang this year? ”

Tang He smiled: "I happen to be ten years older than you. ”

Hearing this, Da Kui lowered his head and counted with his fingers, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Wow, you became a general at the age of twenty-six? ”

Lao Huang smiled and continued: "Silly boy, how can people be compared with people! General Tang is already a famous talent in ten miles and eight towns when he is your age, and later gave up his literature and martial arts to join the army, and now he is a general." ”

Da Kui looked at Tang He with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "Have you ever done Xiucai?" In Da Kui's eyes, Xiucai was already very remarkable. In the village, whoever wants to write a letter to distant relatives and friends or write a pair on the side door at the end of the year, he must find a gentleman who is literate and hyphenated, but the gentleman in the village is not even a showman.

Tang He nodded with a smile, and Da Kui asked again, "Your martial arts must be very powerful, right?"

Tang He said with a smile: "It's not powerful, but it's enough to use it to protect yourself when you encounter bad people." Tang Hedian asked Da Kui: "Can you write?"

Da Kui couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "My family is poor and I can't afford to go to a private school." But I can chop wood, and I can also set rabbits! I tell you, this set of rabbits can be exquisite! I have to look at the footprints of rabbits, and I can also find rabbit nests ....... Da Kui began to talk to Tang He about his ability to set rabbits, although his words were rude, but he also spoke vividly.

Tang He just smiled silently, silently watching Da Kui talk about rabbits there, and felt that Da Kui was stupid and a little childlike.

When Da Kui finished speaking, Lao Huang smiled and said, "I can't see that your kid still has such a great ability?" ”

Da Kui said proudly: "Naturally, I'm not bragging!"

Tang He persuaded him: "You should find a gentleman to teach you to read and write, cutting firewood and farming all day long like you is not the way out after all." ”

Da Kui said with a smile: "I don't study, who will help my mother work after learning to read and write?"

Tang He nodded and smiled: "You should go to the private school to find Mr. whenever you have time, if you don't have money, he won't teach you, you will listen to books outside the door." When you have nothing to do, you can practice calligraphy on the ground. It is necessary to know that jade is not cut into a tool, people do not learn and do not know righteousness, only if they understand the truth of the world, can they stand up as a person. ”

Da Kui couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't you show off your talent and become a general? Many people will die in battle!"

Tang He Zhengse said: "For the suffering of the people." ”

Da Kui couldn't help scratching his head again and asked, "I don't understand what you're talking about, what is the suffering of Li Min?"

Tang He looked at the bonfire and muttered: "Huaxia Shenzhou has been trampled by the iron hooves of the Tartars, and the people of Li have suffered." Today, the Yuan court is harsh and harms the people, so that many people do not have enough food and clothing, and in the disaster year, these helpless people are even more dependent and starve all over the wilderness, which is the suffering of the people. ”

Da Kui couldn't help muttering: "How good it is to stay at home honestly, why do you want to go out to fight?"

Tang He raised his voice and said: "Killing one person is like killing my father, and adulterating one person is like adultering my mother." A good man has ambitions in all directions, and he must have a mind to help the world, so that he can live up to his seven-foot body. ”

Da Kui exclaimed: "A battle will kill a lot of people, aren't you afraid?"

The soup and noodles did not change color and said: "For the people's livelihood, although I have a thousand knives." ”

Da Kui scratched his head and said, "I've been stupid since I was a child, and everyone in the village calls me a fool." I haven't read a book either, and although I don't understand what you said, I remember it in my heart. ”

Tang He smiled, still staring at the bonfire with blazing eyes. I thought that when I was a teenager, I was like this child named Da Kui, carefree all day long. At that time, I thought that as long as I read a lot of books and studied hard, I would be able to get a glorious lintel. I don't want to disobey people's wishes, and my father offended the eunuch's family, which led to a catastrophe. Fortunately, the generals desperately protected themselves from the encirclement, and they escaped with their lives. God has eyes, let yourself meet famous teachers, and practice martial arts. finally avenged the blood and revenge, and later met Marshal Xu Da and joined the army. Over the years, I have been fighting and killing, just hoping to restore my mountains and rivers as soon as possible and drive out the barbarians.

Every time he thinks of his bumpy fate, Tang He is embarrassed.

Seeing that Tang He was no longer speechless, Da Kui couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Tang, what are you going to do in the future?"

Tang He asked, and Zhengse said: "If you don't drive the Tartars out of Huaxia Shenzhou, you will not quit." ”

Da Kui was shocked when he heard this: "Then you don't marry a daughter-in-law?"

Tang He laughed and said, "Little brother, you are really interesting." Alright, it's getting late, so you can rest. ”

Da Kui slept for a while until it was almost three watches, and at this moment he got silver again. was on the rise, and hurriedly said: "I'm not sleepy, you can tell me about leading troops to fight again"

Tang He said with a smile: "What is there to say about fighting? ”

Lao Huang persuaded: "In two hours, the sky will be bright, and General Tang should rest quickly." ”

Tang He smiled: "You sleep, I'll go out and come back tomorrow morning."

Old Huang asked in surprise: "It's so late, it's still raining outside, General Tang is this?"

"Hugh has to ask more, Brother Huang, but relax" Tang He said, turned around and walked out of the Land Temple, braving the night rain and rushing away to .......
