Chapter 47: The Duan Family

Duan You was also excited, he never thought that he would meet the people of the Duan family as soon as he arrived in Erhe!

Duan Feng immediately took the prey from the horse, let a few young teenagers pluck and wash and peel them, and helped the owner of the tea stall cook, while the rest of the people sat around Duan You, talking non-stop.

Duan You made some noise about Liangzhou style, and was about to ask Duan Ling for news, when he suddenly saw another group of people riding horses. As soon as Duan Feng saw the comer, he ordered the clansmen to lead their horses and get out of the way.

There were more than ten people who came, all of them returned from hunting, the first young man with a hawk nose and thin lips, slightly older than Duan Feng, saw Duan Feng and others, but did not move forward, a pair of bright eyes swept over Duan You's face, that is, stopped on the prey hanging on Duan Feng's horse.

"Tree dogs, or two?" the young man said in a strange manner, "Duan Feng, you have developed a lot of skills, and you actually caught a tree dog?"

Duan Feng said: "He Yijing, don't you have to make an inch, you robbed the rock sheep the day before yesterday, and you want to rob the tree dog today?"

"Robbing?" the young man named He Yijing raised his head and smiled, "Since you said it was a robbery, Lao Tzu will rob you of a fine light, brothers, dismount!" As he spoke, he jumped down and led more than a dozen people to pounce on the horses of Duan Feng and others.

Everyone on Duan Feng's side drew their knives and bows, wanting to fight, but Duan You hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "Don't move, I have my own opinions." Everyone then looked coldly at He Yijing and the others, and let them plunder.

He Yijing saw that everyone here did not resist, laughed, and said: "The Duan family is cowardly, and they don't dare to fight, brothers, take it away." As he spoke, he grabbed all the prey on Duan Feng's horse, carried it on his shoulder, and walked towards his horse.

At this moment, Duan You's body did not move, his arms were not raised, and two stones in his left and right hands popped out, popping twice, one in He Yijing jumped in the circle, one in the three yin points, He Yijing fell to his knees, and the prey in his hands was scattered on the ground.

This sudden change, everyone stood on the ground, and few people knew that Duan You had made a move.

He Yijing turned his head and said angrily: "Which one plotted against Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu picked up his ......" Before he finished speaking, another stone flew and slammed into his mouth, spitting out a tooth, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Duan Youyou stepped out. At this time, someone in Fang saw that it was Duan You's shot. With He Yijing, more than ten people were all afraid.

He Yijing looked at Duan You, struggled a few times but couldn't get up, his face showed horror, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...... Who are you...... Fang Daxia?"

Duan Youshen asked with a heavy face, "Who are you going to be Lao Tzu?" said and raised the dog beating stick in his hand.

He Yijing hurriedly held his head with his hands, and cried in his voice: "The hero forgives me, the hero forgives me, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"

"Don't you dare?" Duan You snorted.

"Don't dare to be Lao Tzu anymore...... Don't dare to rob people anymore!"

Duan You snorted and said, "I can't imagine that in the land of Erhe, there are people like you, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, how to deal with those who kill people and overhaul goods?"

"The light ones have their hands and feet cut off, and the heavy ones are beheaded. He Yijing slipped out and said, bowed his head suddenly, and kowtowed, "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, I ...... We didn't kill anyone, we didn't steal, we just made a joke with Brother Duan Feng, it was a joke, Brother Duan Feng, we were joking, right, you tell the hero, it's a joke, Brother Duan Feng, please!"

Duan Feng looked at Duan You, and when he saw Duan You's expression, he understood his intentions, so he said, "Hero, Brother He's joke is too much, he has admitted his mistake, can you let him go?"

When He Yijing heard Duan Feng say this, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to kneel and admit his mistake.

Duan You had a helpless look, paced to the side, and drank tea alone. He Yijing saw that he let himself go, and in case of amnesty, he hurriedly beckoned his entourage to return the prey of Duan Feng and others, and took two necked cranes from his horseback and asked Duan Feng to serve Duan You on his behalf. Duan You waved his hand and said that he was exempt, and He Yijing got on the horse in a panic and walked away with a group of entourage.

Everyone here couldn't help laughing, and burst into laughter: I just had a bad breath today.

A descendant ran upside down, picked up the three stones on the ground, and with a sigh in his mouth, he came over to Duan You and said, "Big brother, your hand is really good at playing stones, teach me." ”

Duan You smiled and said, "You have to learn, good, you have ten years." ”

"I'm going to learn too. ”

"I also learn, Sensei said ten years, twenty years to learn is also worth it. ”

Everyone gathered around and asked Duan You to teach the practice. Duan You poked his hand on the ground, poof, and all four fingers went into the ground together, and everyone exclaimed.

Duan You smiled, said the practice, and saw that Duan Feng and the others were full of confidence, so he said: "This finger grabbing the soil and inserting the ground and playing stones, it is not a day's work, it must be practiced every day, and I can't be anxious, dealing with a villain like He Yijing, it is also far away and not quenching the thirst of the near, and when you encounter such things in the future, you only need to work together to subdue the leader, this is called attacking one point, regardless of the rest, understand?"

Everyone replied, "Understood." "I know the trick of group fighting.

After a while, the game was cooked, and everyone sat in one place, and the pieces were large. Duan You asked about the situation of Yang Tho Baa City while eating, and knew that this place of the Erhe River was different from the land of Liangzhou and Qin and Wei, not the state lordship, but the city lord system, that is, one city and one lord, controlling one side, and the relationship between the cities was similar to the relationship between Qin, Wei, Northern Liang, Southern Liang, and Western Liang. There are five surnames in the city, namely Gao, He, Duan, Yin, and Zhang, and there are about 500 households with the surname Duan.

Duan You led the topic to the Duan family, and everyone was gossiping, except for Duan Feng who said that his family had migrated from Liangzhou a hundred years ago, and there was no news about it. Duan Yousui asked clearly, in the past eight or nine years, has there been a person surnamed Duan who has migrated from Liangzhou?

Everyone said they didn't know. When Duan heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart, and asked tightly: "There is a girl, thirteen or fourteen years old this year, called Duan Ling, or Chen Ling, have you ever heard of it?"

Everyone shook their heads. One of the young men in his twenties said that he knew two people named Duan Ling, one was only five or six years old, and the other was in his forties, but he was a man.

On the side, Duan Feng saw that Duan You's face was uneasy, so he called him aside and said in a low voice: "Brother clan, although the people with the surname Duan in this city have the same surname, they are not of the same clan, there are local Bai people in Erhe, Han people from Zhongzhou and Taizhou, Han people from Liangzhou, Hu people, they don't get together on weekdays, so they don't know all the people with the surname Duan. But all the people surnamed Duan in the city recommended a head, and when they encountered major events, they all listened to the head. I don't know, I can ask the head to order an inquiry. ”

Duan Youxian said: "Then I'll go find the headman." ”

Duan Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the head man is my father." ”

Duan Youyi was overjoyed and said, "Very good, let's go into the city quickly and meet your father." ”

Duan Feng said: "Brother clan, my father is not easy to see people, I took you to rush forward, not only will I not see you, but I will also be punished, why don't I go and explain the situation to my father first, how about you see him again?"

"It's fine. Duan You said. rode into the city with Duan Feng and others, and told Duan Feng about his situation on the way.

Yang Tho Baa City is bigger than Liangzhou City, Luoyang, Pingcheng, the city wall is downside down, the buildings in the city are mainly bamboo, thatch, the style is diverse, people come and go, the costumes are different, but also frequently prosperous. Duan Youyou and his party entered the city, found an inn to live with Deng Yu'er, and Duan Feng left immediately.

Duan Feng was very neat, and when he arrived at night, he brought two people over. The two of them were in their thirties, dressed as the local Bai custom, and when they saw Duan You, one of them stared at Duan You, looking quite excited.

Duan You vaguely knew the two, looked at them for a while, and said to the people staring at him, "Are you Uncle Duan Bai?"

The man snorted in his throat, grabbed Duan You's arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Are you Duan You?" turned his head to the other person who came with him and said, "Duan Kui, he is Duan You, the child of Brother Duan Zhen!"

The man named Duan Kui also grabbed Duan You's arm excitedly and said, "I haven't seen you for nine years, I didn't expect you to grow so big." As he spoke, his eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Good, good, good. Duan Bailian said a few good words, but there were no more words, and tears flowed down his cheeks silently.

It turned out that Duan Bai and Duan Kui were Duan You's father Duan Zhen's subordinates back then, and they followed Duan Zhen to escort the Duan family dart bureau, and they did not live in Duan's mansion back then. On the night of the slaughter of Duanfu, the two did not know, and it was not until the next day that they learned that Master Duan Huo was arrested, his family and Duan Zhen and his wife were killed, and Lu Long, the lord of the Later Liang State, sent people to arrest people surnamed Duan in Liangzhou City. After learning the truth, the two avoided pursuit, escaped from Liangzhou City, and came all the way to Yangtho City. Nine years have passed, and the two have married and had children here, and settled down. It's just that they keep their backgrounds secret, so very few people know about them.

Duan You cared about Duan Ling, but he was not too excited about meeting the old people in a foreign land, but he was quite uneasy in his heart, listening to the words of the two, as if he didn't know Duan Ling's situation, he asked, "My sister Ling'er can come here?"

Duan Bai and Duan Kui really said that they didn't know, and Duan You asked Duan Ling about the situation.

Duan You was instantly disappointed, and asked if there were still people from Liangzhou here in the past nine years, and both of them shook their heads.

Duan intended to be excited, Duan Bai and Duan Kui invited him and Deng Yuer to go to their home, and Duan Youwan resigned. I already have plans to rush back to Liangzhou with Deng Yuer tomorrow. Ling'er was so weak back then, how could she come to this faraway place without the help of adults?

The person surnamed Duan that Duan Jing said must be Duan Bai and Duan Kui, so he told the two to be careful.

Before dawn the next day, Duan Bai and Duan Kui came to the inn and invited Duan You and Deng Yuer to their home. Duan You saw that the two were very affectionate, and it was inconvenient to brush off their sincerity, so he happily went.

Duan Bai's house is in the northeast of Yangtho City, adjacent to Duan Kui's house, all of them are stone walls, and the bamboo buildings in the courtyard are quite exquisite. A few people went upstairs to sit, and after a while, Mrs. Duan Bai brought the dishes, but it was boiled live fish in river water, sea vegetables from the Erhe River, and shredded rake meat bait, etc., all of which were local famous dishes and were very delicious.

Duan You ate half of it, thinking about Duan Ling in his heart, and gradually became tasteless, so he asked Duan Bai and Duan Kui: "Uncle Bai, Uncle Kui, when you two first arrived here, did you ever go incognito?"

Both shook their heads.
