Chapter 57: Gourmet Snake Bites Chicken
"Well, I have heard about the matter of Leopard Head Mountain for a long time, but this mountain is located at the junction of Yanggu County and Qinghe County, if Yanggu County sends troops to attack, it will definitely make the magistrate of Qinghe County have a complaint, which is very inappropriate, and it must be considered in the long run. ”
Wu Song is also a shrewd person, how can he not see that the "long-term consideration" that the county said means "not mentioning it in the future".
"Enxiang, having said that, if the thieves are captured by Yanggu County, it will definitely be praised by Shangguan, and Enxiang's wisdom will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" Wu Song decided to wear a hat for him, the so-called thousands of clothes, and the sycophants are not worn, hoping to arouse his pride for a while.
The magistrate is a 10,000-year-old fritter, he put the fragrant tea in his hand, and said: "There are not many officials and soldiers in Yanggu County, it is difficult to compete, wait for me to send an official document and discuss it with the magistrate of Qinghe County." ”
In ancient times, as soon as the tea was put away, it was the meaning of sending guests, Wu Song didn't know, he said in his heart: "For the sake of the people, for the sake of righteousness, I will pretend not to know, at most I will scold Xianggong in his heart 'I don't know the general situation'!"
"Enxiang, the villain is brave and willing to connect with the countryside to fight bravely, without alarming the county government, he still hangs your name, goes to pacify Leopard Head Mountain, and returns peace to the people. ”
"Wu Song, you are really confused!" Zhixian slapped it on the table, and the fragrant tea was full of cheapness, Wu Song immediately stood up, not daring to say any more.
The magistrate relieved his breath a little, Wu Song was his favorite general, and he could only rely on him to send gold, silver and jewelry to Tokyo, so he had to endure his anger and said earnestly:
"Dutou, you are a sincere gentleman, but you don't know the way to be an official, since you are also your own person, the official told you, the way of an official, do not seek merit, but seek no fault. ”
"The thieves in Leopard Head Mountain are very difficult, in previous years, Qinghe County also sent people to encircle and suppress, but failed to succeed, but gave the group of thieves to attack the county government, and it was Yanggu County that sent troops to relieve the siege, embarrassed, fortunately, this matter did not alarm the officials, otherwise everyone's black yarn is difficult to protect, since then the officials and soldiers have not provoked them, they have not transgressed, everyone is safe. ”
"This official knows that you are brave, but two fists are invincible to four hands, with the strength of your own person, how can you resist one or two hundred thieves, the countryside is brave, just a rabble, how can it be reused, but in vain lost Qingqing's life, this matter has to be mentioned again, after retiring from the hall tomorrow, come here again, I will explain to you in detail about the affairs of my wife, you go!"
The county magistrate waved his robe and turned straight to the screen, where he and his wife were in the boudoir, Wu Song couldn't go in, so he had to sigh, walked out of the lobby, and walked out from the county yakou.
"Dutou!"
Wu Song just stepped out of the door of the county ya, and hugged him from behind, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a crow, and he was even more embarrassed, he promised to snatch back the white jade for the crow, and now he came to urge!
"Uncle Crow, I just learned that the county minister did not allow me to attack Leopard Head Mountain, but what I promised you, even if Wu Song fought for his life, he would do it!"
Wu Song made a promise, and thought, since the county does not allow it, I have to go straight to Leopard Head Mountain by myself, husband, what are you afraid of!
He had made up his mind, standing in place, waiting for the crow to complain or scold, but the crow did not blame him, it should be said that he ignored him, the crow let go of Wu Song, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the gate of the county government, and made a "tsk" sound in his mouth, he didn't hear what Wu Song was saying at all.
"Wudutou, do our business, the ancestors have a family motto, you can't enter the official family in life, and you can't go to hell when you die, but now I have changed my ways and returned to the right, I really want to go into the county government to see what it's like inside!"
Wu Song looked at the crow's eyes like a child longing for candy, and couldn't help but smile, he dragged the crow's hand and strode into the county office.
The crow stood on top of the public hall, pointed to the ground, and said with a smile: "Wudutou, do you know that when I dream back at midnight, I often dream that I am lying here!"
"You dreamed that you were lying on the ground?" Wu Song thought it was very funny.
"Then naturally, people like us can enter the county government, we must have been arrested, this floor, there are prisoners lying on it, I have dreamed countless times that I am here to be beaten by the fierce and vicious yacha!"
"According to you, this is your nightmare, nothing to see!" Wu Song was in a low mood and didn't want to entertain the crow, so he pulled him out of the county office.
"If there is nothing to do today, Dutou will come to my thatched house and kill the hen!" The crow gritted his teeth fiercely, and held back the words from between his teeth: "Drink three bowls of wine!"
Wu Song looked at his generous but distressed demeanor, he couldn't help but feel very funny, he didn't like to associate with stingy people by nature, and he was also very irritable at the moment, so he had to reluctantly smile and say: "There was originally a thing, and now it is gone, but I still want to go home, thank my uncle!"
"All heads!" The crow grabbed Wu Song's shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes were round, and he said word by word: "I invite you to eat my old hen, I often hold the old hen that I am reluctant to kill!"
"Hahaha, there is chicken to eat, just right, count me in!" A short and sturdy man walked over with a white cloth bag hanging on his back, and Wu Song recognized him as Yang Shu.
"I invited Wudu to eat chicken, I didn't say please you, if you want to go, you can bring your own meat, I have rice, and I will charge you five cents!"
"Are you a friend of Wudutou?" Yang Shu looked at the miser crow very suspiciously.
"Naturally!" the crow said proudly, Wu Song did not deny it, Yang Shu was well-informed, and he didn't care, and said with a smile:
"This brother, you have an old hen, but you don't know how to eat it, if you count me as a share, I guarantee that you can eat the most delicious old hen in the world!"
"Hmph! who wouldn't brag, you charlatans have to show off in front of the master, I'm your ancestor!"
"If you eat the old hen I concocted with your own hands, and still think that it is just like that, I will pay you five taels of silver!"
"Ten taels!"
"Ten taels is ten taels!" Yang Shu finished speaking, and the crow, one person held Wu Song's arm, and walked to Beishan, Wu Song came to be warm, and secondly, he was very interested in Yang Shu's so-called special old hen, he was also fond of cooking, before crossing, whenever he was unhappy, he hid in the kitchen, burned a delicacy, and the mood was happy, and he happily went with him.
On the mountainside of Beishan, in front of a few crows, the old hen was pacing slowly, but she didn't know that the limit was coming.
Yang Shu smiled and took the cloth bag from his back and fell to the ground, "Mom! snake!" The crow screamed and hid behind Wu Song.
"Look at you, a man, you're a lot older, and you're even afraid of snakes!" Yang Shu said disdainfully.
"Have you ever heard that a crow is not afraid of snakes?"
The crow's rhetorical question, Yang Shu was speechless, the cobra naturally wants to eat the crow, but the crow is just his nickname!
The cobra raised its head on the ground, looked around nervously, and Yang Shu smiled: "Please look at it, poisonous snakes will not take the initiative to attack, unless they encounter prey, or are harassed by foreign objects, there is no prey here, as long as the three of us ignore it, it feels no threat, and it will leave on its own, this is the habit of snakes." ”
Wu Song was puzzled in his heart: "What did he tell me about the habits of snakes, this person is very shrewd, he must have a deep meaning, I just listen." ”
"Boss, please make a feint attack on the poisonous snake!"
Wu Song did not doubt that he had him, stepped forward with his left foot, and roared at the poisonous snake, "whoosh", the poisonous snake pounced forward and bit Wu Song, Wu Song reacted very quickly, and hurriedly moved to the left, avoiding the poisonous snake attack.
He looked at Yang Shu suspiciously, he didn't know why, he didn't dare to slack off in the corner of his eyes, and squinted at the poisonous snake, which made a "whirring" sound, and was very angry.
The crow was already so frightened that he hid behind the door, Yang Shu smiled slightly, raised his right hand, and a little yellow powder fell on Wu Song, Wu Song knew that he had no malicious intent, and he didn't dodge.
"Dutou, you go and attack the viper again. ”
"Dutou, is that guy really your friend, he always wants you to die!" said the crow, who was hiding behind the door, trembling.
Wu Song weighed it, just now the poisonous snake attacked with lightning speed, and he could dodge it, and now the second attack, the power must have weakened a lot, and he was not afraid at all, but it was like trying the attack ability of the poisonous snake, and he wanted to give the poisonous snake a feint with his left hand, and grabbed it with his right hand to show his skills.
Who knows, when the left and right were raised, the poisonous snake did not attack, but retreated, it was like meeting a nemesis, very frightened, Wu Song's heart was bright, and he grabbed the poisonous snake with his left hand, and the poisonous snake was in his hand, and he obediently did not dare to move.
"Can you subdue a poisonous snake with this medicinal powder?" Wu Song said with a smile.
"When the two armies clash, the poisonous snake has no temperament, and when it is frightened, whether it sees a horse or a person, it will bite indiscriminately......"
Wu Song took Yang Shu's words and said, "If we have this powder, the poisonous snake will only bite the other party and not us, but this is the truth?"
Yang Shu didn't answer Wu Song's question, but asked, "If you play against the thieves, they all put up a posture and call for battle, but what?"
Wu Song thought about it, it makes sense, if both sides set up battle formations, according to the ancient way of playing, it should be a confrontation between one person and one general, then I am a foot army, he said that the horse army, you can't bring a poisonous snake to fight, but Yang Shuneng asked like this, there must be a reason.
"Please give me advice!"
Yang Shu didn't speak, his left hand was the same, a little white powder fell on the snake's head, the snake immediately broke free from Wu Song's hand, ran like a fly, and bit the hen's neck, the hen screamed for a while, and then died.
"Your snake has bitten my hen to death, please pay a tael of silver, since the hen is dead, she can't make a good dish, and the ten taels of silver just now are also lost, ten taels of silver, bring it." The crow honestly stretched out his palm.
Wu Song smiled: "Uncle Crow, it's all counted on Wu Song's head." ”
"Dutou, I didn't lose!" Yang Shu smiled: "You said that you have never heard of a dish, called snake bite chicken, that is, let the poisonous snake bite the chicken to death, and then cook the snake and the chicken together, that delicious taste is unforgettable!"
"Hahaha, you can really brag, the chicken was bitten to death by the snake, and there is snake venom on the body, how can you eat the stomach!" the crow scolded.
