Chapter 36 Part II
It is said that Wang Shi asked the shopkeeper to lead the way to the guest room, and was just about to go upstairs, when a beggar came in from outside the door, with his head unkempt, holding a bamboo pole in his right hand, and a porcelain bowl in his left hand, and shouted as soon as he entered the room: "Uncle! Poor and poor little one, give me something to eat!"
Wang Shi heard the voice of the beggar on the stairs, looked back, and saw that the beggar was wearing a torn cotton jacket, on such a cold day, but only a pair of straw sandals were worn on his feet, and his feet were red from the cold, so he felt a little compassion in his heart, turned around, stood at the staircase and beckoned to the beggar: "You come here!"
When the beggar saw Wang Shi beckoning him over, he immediately ran quickly to Wang Shi: "Uncle! ”
Wang Shi took out fifty taels of broken silver from his bosom and threw it into the beggar's porcelain bowl, "This little silver is reserved for dinner, and I am spending a few taels of silver to buy a pair of good shoes!
The beggar nodded hurriedly and thanked with a smile: "Uncle, you are really a good person, I have never begged for so much silver, you are so generous, thank you, uncle!"
Wang Shi was about to turn around and go upstairs, and inadvertently glanced at the beggar's face, only to see that although the beggar had unkempt hair, his face was very dry and tight, his skin was fair, and there was a mole on his chin, which was the size of a soybean, Wang Shi turned around and went upstairs: "You are quite white, but your face is very clean!." ”
"Even though you are poor, you still have to wash your face, hahaha," the beggar said, taking out the silver from the bowl and carrying it in his arms. He walked to the hall and went to the table of the old man with yellow teeth: "Uncle, let's enjoy some food." ”
While drinking, the old man with yellow teeth squinted at the beggar, and said, "I'll give you a few copper plates, take them!" As he spoke, he saw the old man with yellow teeth go to his arms and take out three copper plates, and raised his hand at the beggar, and the copper plates shot towards the door with a strong wind. It turned out that when the beggar entered the house, the old man with yellow teeth saw that he was walking lightly, and listened to his breath, and knew that this beggar had profound internal skills.
When I saw that the three copper coins were only an inch away from the front door, the beggar put it to one side, held a porcelain bowl in his left hand, and shot three copper coins in the bowl, straight through the porcelain bowl, and the three copper coins were embedded in the bottom of the bowl. The beggar looked at the bowl: "Hey, it's really unlucky today, you pierced a bowl, and these three copper plates are not enough to buy a new bowl." So saying, he went out the door.
After the yellow-toothed old man finished eating, the pigtail boy ate the leftovers, and the two followed Xiao Er into the room. It's really a coincidence that there is no book, but I live next door to Wang Shi.
Wang Shi listened to the sound of the door opening in the room, and then heard the voice of the old man with yellow teeth telling the child, for a while called to serve tea, for a while called to pour the foot washing water, and for a while asked him to carry the night pot, and the night was endless, the sound of the two young men entering the house in the middle of the night, squirming, I don't know what to say, when I arrived, Wang Shi sat on the bed and exercised, and heard the sound of the two young men going out, and then it didn't take long for the old man with yellow teeth to snort like thunder, which made Wang Shi upset. He scolded in his mouth: "It's really unlucky!" I didn't sleep well all night, and the next morning, the fifth watch got up, went downstairs and had breakfast, went back to the room to pack up the baggage, calculated the store money, led the horse out, and waited in the woods outside the east gate, until the time of the Chen pai, I saw Cai Dutou and all the sergeants, escorting the silver cart out of the east city gate, the carriage was walking the thick snow, and from time to time a few sergeants went to push behind the car.
By noon, the sky was blowing and snowing again, and Wang Shi followed the team slowly. I was hungry and hungry, and there was no village around. Go until the time of the undecked. Seeing a county town from afar, the front of the team entered the city, and went to the post station, Wang Shi walked to the city gate, and saw three big characters on the city gate, Tongguan County. Wang Shi rode his horse into the city, rested in a tavern on the side of the street, had lunch, and kept an eye on the movement of the post station, until the time of Shenpai, and did not see the official army come out. It is estimated that it may not snow today. Wang Shi also stayed in this inn. I was secretly glad that I finally didn't see the two yellow-toothed old men.
The snow fell for two days in a row before it cleared, and the weather was exceptionally cold. The four fields are covered with snow. Wang Shi repaid the store money early, and only waited for the official army to go out at the door. was waiting, but saw a commotion in the store, Wang Shi looked back, but it was the shopkeeper who pushed a Xiucai out of the door, and the shopkeeper was also dragging on the side. Wang Shi was curious, there was a store that drove the guests out. I only heard the shopkeeper shouting: "You show talent, you don't pay back half a month's store money, now I think I'm unlucky, you better hurry up, don't occupy my room." I have a small business and can't afford to be tossed by you. ”
Wang Shi looked at this show carefully, but saw that he was eight feet long, tall on both sides of the hero's eyebrows, a pair of tiger eyes, Ruo Langxing, dignified appearance, and a vegetable face, so winter, but he didn't wear a cotton jacket on his body, only a thin beige gown. Wear a pair of black cloth shoes. Xiucai just refused to go out of the store, and shouted: "Why are you so unreasonable, I am penniless now, and it is so cold outside, it is better to kill me directly if you drive me out." ”
"If I kill you, we still have to have a lawsuit, you showman, you don't have money and you don't want to leave, the money you owe for the house, count me unlucky, you go quickly." "The shopkeeper is also next to him, just push it.
Wang Shi understood and hurriedly got up: "Your shop, don't make trouble, how much money this son owes you for the house and food, it's worth it." ”
When the shopkeeper saw Wang Shi asking, he said: "Half a month's room for dinner, five taels of silver." ”
Wang Shi took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and called Xiao Er: "There are ten taels of silver here, so I will settle the money for his room and dinner, and the remaining silver will bring up a table of good wine and food." The shopkeeper saw that Wang Shi had paid Xiucai's room and dinner, and spread his hand: "You are really lucky, you have to meet a nobleman!"
Xiucai walked up to Wang Shi and said deeply: "Thank you Gongzi for sending charcoal in the snow and solving the urgent need of Xiaosheng to burn coal!
Wang Shi got up and hugged his fists and returned the salute: "It's just a trivial matter, what is a few taels of silver worth." Xiao Ke, surnamed Wang, single name Shi. I haven't asked my son's surname yet. ”
Xiucai said: "Xiaosheng's surname is Yu, his double name is jade, and the word is Lanzhu." Yunyang people in Sichuan. ”
The two sat opposite each other, and after a while, the shopkeeper put the wine and food on the table, fat chicken, fat fish, roast sheep, and a big table full. Seeing this Yu Xiucai, he swallowed his gluttony, Wang Shi smiled: "Speaking of which, you and I are still fellow villagers, my ancestral home is Zhangzhou, not far from Yunyang." There is no need to be particular about etiquette, but I let go of eating. ”
"Then the little brother is welcome. Yu Xiucai hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time, and when he saw such a large table of wine and food today, he just ate and drank violently, and after a while, he ate all the dishes on the table, and burped twice: "I haven't eaten such delicious wine and meat for a long time." ”
Wang Shi asked with a smile: "Why is Brother Xian stuck here and being bullied by this shop!"
Yu Qiyu sighed: "Don't mention it, I went out from home in March, ready to go to Bianjing to take the exam, and I also brought a hundred taels of silver to the plate, so I knew that I went to this Tongguan County, and caused a serious illness in the store, so I asked a doctor to treat it, and I lived in the store for more than two months, and the cost of the plate was exhausted. ”
Wang Shidao: "Seeing that you can't catch up with this year's exam, you can only wait for the spring next year." As he spoke, he took out a hundred taels of silver from his waist and handed it to him, "This one hundred taels of silver, you have the right to make the plate fee, so you will temporarily live in the store for the New Year, and then go to Bianjing." ”
"I am so deeply grateful to Brother Xian!" Yu Qiyu stood up and said.
Wang Shi returned the salute, said goodbye and left the hotel, led the horse to the post station to look, and saw that the official army and the silver chariot had gone, so he got on the horse and rode to the east gate.
At first, Wang Shi went to see the excitement, Cai Dutou and the sergeants had already escorted the silver cart out of the city, because the sergeants were on foot, and in addition, the snow on the road had just melted, and it was very muddy and difficult to walk. Wang Shi rode forward for five or seven miles, early to see Cai Dutou and the officers and soldiers, so until the end of the night, staying in Beitou Village, Wang Shi saw that everyone entered a village, and also rode a horse to the front of the village to call the door, a Zhuang guest wearing a soap-colored cotton jacket opened the door, Wang Shi hugged his fists and said: "I am a passing traveler, because I can't catch up with the accommodation, at this night, I want to borrow your village to spend a night, and the next day will be counted together." ”
Zhuang Ke said: "Just now, more than 30 officers and soldiers came to stay in the village, but there are not many of you, but I have to go to tell the Taigong, if it is too fair, I will call you in." But it doesn't hurt to stay. Our father-in-law is the most kind and never charges guests for their rooms. After Zhuang Ke finished speaking, he went into the house, and walked out of the door after a quarter of an hour: "You come in with me, it's too fair, follow me!"
Wang Shi led the horse in, there was a small servant next to him to lead the horse to the stable, Wang Shi carried the burden and followed the Zhuang guest into the hall to see the old lady in the village, Cai Dutou was also sitting in the hall, the three of them saw the courtesy and the guest sat down, the prince ordered the wine and food to come, and the sergeants ate wine in the backyard. Wang Shi and Cai Dutou only ate wine with the old lady in the main hall.
The three of them persuaded five or seven glasses of wine, and each arranged a room to stay. Wang Shi thought in his heart: I heard what Taigong said just now, ten miles ahead is Yawu Mountain, and there is no one in this mountain for fifty miles. This Yawu Mountain is a good place to do it, and you have to think of a clever plan on how to rob the silver car. There was no good plan for a while, when I took off my clothes and went to bed, I took out the bag of croton powder from my arms, and suddenly had an idea, and said with a secret smile in my heart: In the past few days, the snow on the road has just melted, but it is muddy, and the officers and soldiers are escorting silver carts to cross Yawu Mountain, and the people who must go are sleepy and tired, why don't I pretend to sell a cart of old wine, buy a roast sheep, and some beef, and only say that when selling wine, I do the braised vegetables together. These sergeants have always known me, and when they saw that I had pulled a cart of old wine, they were bound to buy it, so I sold it to them to drink. , but secretly put this bag of croton powder in the beef and mutton. Thinking of this, Wang Shi opened the door and walked to the courtyard of the village, and asked the Zhuang guest to see the prince, Wang Shi said: "Xiaosheng has a shorter road ahead, and now I see these officers and soldiers going to Bianjing, and they want to sell some wine and make some snacks and dishes on the road, so they will sell them to the soldiers on the road, and take advantage of the profits of a few taels of silver, so they will buy a mule, a cart or two, two large urns of old wine, and buy a sheep and sauce some beef." Count the money together. ”
Tai Fair: "That's the case, forget about the money for the house, I have a few mules and horses in the village, and I also have all the carts, so I will tell the villager to go and slaughter a sheep for you, cook it and cut it into slices, and put some cooked beef with you." Go and settle the money with the steward. ”
The prince called the old housekeeper to instruct, and after a while, the equipment was ready, and the next morning, Cai Du led the soldiers to take the silver cart out of the Zhuangzi to the east road first, Wang Shi was behind, and waited for the Zhuangke to move the wine jar to the cart, and the beef and mutton were loaded with a few big bowls, and some dishes and chopsticks were licked, and the loading stopped, Wang Shi tied the reins of the jujube red horse to the back of the cart. First went to the front hall to pay farewell to the prince, and then came out to the door and asked the butler, "How much silver should these mules and horses have, as well as wine and meat." ”
The butler said, "This mule is counted as ten taels of silver for you, a sheep and thirty catties of beef, five taels of silver, and these five jars of old wine, give twenty taels of silver." The board car is counted as sending you. ”
Wang Shi took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to the butler, "This silver is the money for these wine, meat, mules and horses." Then he took out three taels of silver: "These three taels of silver are a little wine money that I thank you." Hope to beg and smile. ”
The housekeeper took the silver and smiled: "Thank you, Childe." But he wondered in his heart, and secretly said: "This son said that he wanted to buy these wine and meat to take advantage of a few taels of silver, and now he is so generous." He turned around and went back to the village.
Wang Shi leaned over and sat on the cart, driving the mule cart slowly forward, and the jujube red horse followed behind the cart.
It is said that the sergeants will go to noon, and they will walk on the muddy road for half a day, and turn to the top of Yawu Mountain, at the pass, and the sergeants will come forward and say: "The people who have walked for half a day are sleepy and tired, and their stomachs are hungry, and now they have reached the top of the mountain, and the road down the mountain is below, and rest and rest." ”
Cai Dutou sat on the horse and said: "What do you sergeants know, the place name here is called the Dragon King Temple, the forest is deep and the grass is dense, there is no family in the four circles, it is the place where the strongman haunts, how can you rest, hurry up and go down the mountain as soon as possible." ”
A black-faced sergeant said: "Cai Dutou, you sit on the horse, naturally you don't feel tired, all of us only walk on two legs, and the road is muddy, after walking for half a day, the water and rice have no teeth, tired and hungry, but you don't know the pain of waiting for me at all." We need to know and understand us as well as we used to be. ”
Cai Rengui said anxiously: "You black guy, don't take a look, what kind of place is this, if a group of strongmen come out and rob the tax silver, you and I will be punished when we go back!"
All the soldiers simply sat on the roadside stones at the mountain pass to rest, Cai Dutou shouted a few times and no one paid attention to him, so he was going to raise the whip to catch up, and was making a noise, Wang Shi drove the mule cart from behind to the pass, and had already seen the department, so he stopped the mule cart, got down from the car, and came over to persuade: "Cai Dutou, you see that the big guy is really tired of walking, they are all flesh and blood, so it doesn't hurt to rest." ”
Cai Dutou saw that Wang Shi also came to persuade him, so he got off the horse and sat alone on the stone on the side, and the soldiers came to ask Wang Shi: "Wang Xianggong, why did you come here with a mule cart, did you have wine on the cart?" ”
"It's wine and meat!" Wang Shi said as he walked to the car, removed the lid of the wine jar, poured a bowl, and went to pick up a pair of chopsticks, sandwiched two chopsticks of beef, and drank while eating. When all the soldiers smelled the aroma of wine and saw Wang Shi eating beef, they all gathered around: "Wang Xianggong, can you sell some wine and meat for us to eat, there is no home in this barren mountain and wilderness, and the chest is attached to the back when I see that I am hungry." ”
It turned out that Wang Shi deliberately left a bowl of meat, and there was no chin bean flour in it, just to eat it for the sergeants. These sergeants were indeed aroused. Wang Shi said: "I also bought these wine and meat to take advantage of some money on the road, that is, when you all want to eat, I will sell it to you here." ”
When the sergeants heard that, they all grabbed the dishes and chopsticks, just drank wine and ate meat, Cai Dutou, but only glanced at a few times, and did not come, Wang Shi said: "Cai Dutou, come over and drink a few glasses together to get rid of fatigue, in the later period, there will be no snacks." ”
At this time, Cai Rengui was hungry in his stomach, and he couldn't stand Wang Shi's shout, so he walked to the car, and the soldiers next to him poured a bowl of wine and handed over a pair of chopsticks. Wang Shi was secretly happy in his heart. All the soldiers were drunk and drunk, and they all sat on the side of the road at the pass to rest, and when they saw that they were already unlicensed, Cai Rengui turned over and urged on his horse: "Now that you are full, hurry up and get on the road." The soldiers got up and walked down the mountain together, and no one came to mention the money for wine and food, Wang Shi didn't ask, Cai Rengui suddenly remembered this in his heart, and secretly shouted in his heart: It's not good, he just said that he sold these wine and food to take advantage of some money, but everyone finished eating, but he didn't come to ask about the silver. But when I looked back at the soldiers, there was nothing unusual, and my heart was entangled.
It is said that Wang Shi saw that the soldiers and Cai Rengui ate beef and mutton mixed with croton powder, but there was nothing to do, so he muttered in his heart, followed slowly behind with a mule cart, and went down the mountain for more than two miles. Cai Rengui shouted: "What are you doing here, don't walk around." "Where is it forbidden to live for a while, only to listen to the people in the woods oops, accompanied by shit, fart: poof, not a while, the smell is tangy, Cai Rengui is immediately shouting, suddenly felt the stomach turned over the river and the sea, the sound of the boom, and then like a yellow eel scurrying around, sweat on the painful forehead, hurriedly got off the horse, ran to the roadside woods, unbuckled his belt, took off his pants, poof! Wuzi, I still feel a stomachache.
Wang Shi saw that Cai Rengui and the other soldiers had already taken effect, so he drove the mule cart to the carriage carrying silver, jumped into the cart, opened the box, wrapped the official silver in cloth, and put it into the wine jar on the mule cart. The sergeants, seeing Wang Shi carrying silver in the car, got up to stop it, and just lifted his pants, his stomach hurt so much that he had to squat down again. The straight puller is so weak that he can't stand up.
Cai Rengui, seeing that Wang Shi was carrying silver, hurriedly lifted his pants, tied his belt, endured abdominal pain, and shouted in his mouth while walking this way: "You thief, stop quickly." "I didn't chase forward a dozen steps, but the pain was so unbearable that I couldn't hold it back, so I hurriedly unfastened my belt again, and squatted on the road. Pulled out all the jaundice water. Not to mention going up to fight, it's hard to walk.
Wang Shi's silver was all put into the wine vat, the lid was closed, and he said to the sergeants with both hands: "Offended haha!" and then hugged his fist at Cai Rengui and said: "Cai Dutou! Thank you for the silver." Xiaosheng said goodbye. After saying that, he jumped on the mule cart, whipped it up, and hit the mule on its back, and Wang Shi drove the mule cart down the mountain. Later, Cai Rengui complained bitterly! I didn't expect that I was so careful, and I still fell into his trap.
