Text Chapter 3 Qingliang Hou
Although these people are alive and hateful, they are dead and dead, and everything is lost when people die, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't bear to expose them to the wilderness, so he pulled a few corpses over and threw them into the pit, but adhering to the principle of waste and shame, he searched out all the money on their bodies, not much, four gold coins, nine silver coins, and more than a dozen copper coins. Seeing the five of them lying in a pit and not feeling crowded, Jiang Xiaobai was a little puzzled, could it be that they were really digging their own graves, digging a pit and digging five people's share?
After the pit was filled, Jiang Xiaobai was a little hungry, although the roe deer on the bonfire was still exuding fragrance, but he was afraid of being poisonous, so he didn't dare to eat it again, but fortunately, there was still prey, so he peeled a rabbit, roasted and ate it.
After eating and drinking, sleepiness hit, take a nap, the sky gradually brightened, Jiang Xiaobai cleaned up, led a horse and went back.
At noon, Jiang Xiaobai arrived outside Qingliang City. Although his body has only left for one day, his consciousness has been away for more than twenty years, everything looks so familiar and so unfamiliar, as if he is in another world, he can't help but sigh.
As soon as he entered the city gate, a few children on the side of the road saw him, very excited, and shouted: "Little Hou (monkey) - Ye (yes) ——, little monkey - yes -" and then clapped his hands and sang a tongue twister: "A monkey ran down the mountain, a Hou walked out of the city, walked to the city gate and met twice, the monkey looked at the Hou, the Hou looked at the monkey, the Hou stamped his feet and ran to the city, the monkey scratched his head and walked to the mountain, I don't know if the monkey was afraid of the Hou, or the Hou was afraid of the monkey ......"
If it were the past, Jiang Xiaobai would definitely rush over and scold, if the adults were not there, one person would be slapped. But at this time, he smiled slightly, shook his head, ignored these children, and walked away. Looking back on the past, I am embarrassed.
Passing by a steamed bun shop, there are several steamers outside, and now it is past the time of dinner, there is no business, and a middle-aged woman sitting inside is looking at the street in a daze.
Jiang Xiaobai was bumpy on the road for a long time, and he felt hungry, so he stepped forward and said, "Boss, bring me five buns." ”
The proprietress is an honest person, got up and looked embarrassed, and said: "Little Hou Ye, you are a high-ranking Hou Ye, we are just ordinary people, and we have to support our family, if you don't pay back the money you owe, forget it, and if you owe it again, our family will really have to drink the northwest wind." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "How much do you owe you?"
The proprietress thought for a while, put up three fingers, and said, "It's not much, just thirty copper plates, but we operate on a small scale, and we can't make so much money in a few days." ”
Jiang Xiaobai also convinced himself at this time, and even bought steamed buns on credit, and the key was to give so much credit, this feeling was like instant noodles on credit on the earth, which made him very ashamed. Hurriedly took out a silver coin from his bosom, threw it on the table, and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot! Get me five buns, and don't look for the rest of the money, even if it's interest!"
A silver coin can be converted into a hundred copper coins, the proprietress was slightly stunned, looked at him, looked at the silver coin, and hurriedly picked it up to check the authenticity, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw that it was true, and said with a smile: "I estimate that the little marquis is a noble person, and he must have forgotten, the little marquis is the dragon and phoenix among the people, how can he rely on my little money! ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "No, five is fine!"
The proprietress didn't insist anymore and brought him five meat buns.
Jiang Xiaobai led the horse, eating and walking, and suddenly saw a notice posted around the corner, surrounded by a few people watching, so he stretched his neck and glanced at it, but it was the news that Lengyan Palace recruited disciples once in a hundred years, and only recruited female disciples who had already opened the void.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, thinking that this notice is also perfunctory, not to mention that the woman who shows the seal in this Qingliang City is a man, and it will take many years for one or two to appear, and whether this notice is posted or not is an effect.
After passing through a few streets and alleys, after eating a few steamed buns, you arrived at the Qingliang Hou Mansion.
The gate of the Hou Mansion was open, Jiang Xiaobai led the horse and was just about to enter the door, when he heard a noise from the courtyard, and when he entered the door, he saw more than a dozen people standing on the road, fan-shaped around two people, these two people were no one else, one was the old housekeeper Feng Zhengming who was almost sold by him. The other is the old housekeeper's son Fengyan.
Both of them had messy hair, blue noses and swollen faces, probably just beaten by this gang. The old housekeeper's face was full of anger, and he said, "I warn you, if you don't leave the Hou Mansion again, I will report to the official!"
Most of these dozen people, Jiang Xiaobai knows, are all ruffians and hooligans in this area, and the first one is named Wu Da.
I heard Wu Da sneer, and said: "Report to the official, it is natural to repay the debt, don't say that the official is to report to the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is not afraid." ”
The old housekeeper said: "You can ask the young master for debts, but this mansion is still given by the emperor, and none of you can move around, otherwise it will be blasphemy!"
Wu Dadao: "Are you scared to be Lao Tzu? blasphemy of Shengwei? You group of wrecks live in the mansion of the marquis, this is blasphemy." Don't worry, I'm not interested in this Hou Mansion, I won't demolish it, I don't see anything to pay for in this Hou Mansion, I'll just take a look, I see that the little Hou Ye owes me money in this life, I just find two things to mortgage, just mean it, who let us come out and mix, it's always the first word?"
The old butler said angrily: "You are dreaming, unless you step on my corpse, you don't want to take the things in the Hou Mansion!"
Wu Da sneered and said, "You watchdog is loyal!" Old fellow, I warn you, don't toast and don't eat and drink. ”
The old housekeeper was about to speak, but Feng Yan said: "Boss Wu, don't deceive people too much, no matter what my young master says, he is also the marquis of the imperial seal, and it will not be good for you to make a big deal of trouble." ”
Wu Da seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and laughed: "Hou Ye? Even if your father and son still remember that he is Hou Ye, you go to the street and ask the three-year-old child to see if you still know him? After saying that, he laughed again.
Feng Yan said angrily: "You ......" but there was no word to refute.
Jiang Xiaobai walked over slowly, and said faintly as he walked: "It seems that Boss Wu is getting bigger and bigger now, and he doesn't even pay attention to Benhou." ”
Only then did everyone notice him, they all turned their heads to look at him, and said hurriedly: "Young master, go quickly, I will hold you here." ”
Jiang Xiaobai did not pause, but still said calmly: "This is the Qingliang Hou Mansion, this Hou is the Qingliang Hou, looking at the entire Zhongxia Empire, this Hou is also under one person, above ten thousand people, the sky here is my sky, the earth here is my land, I want to see, who ate the bear's heart leopard gall and dared to call the wind and rain in my heaven and earth?"
