Chapter 17: The Murderous Housewife
Duan Hongyu just wanted to quit the martial arts, completely cut off the relationship with the rivers and lakes, and return to the Tianshan Mountains. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He bought a mount and rode slowly all the way, enjoying the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and his mood gradually calmed down.
At this time, when he came to Qingyang Mansion, Duan Hongyu hit a horse into the city, and after lunch, he prepared enough dry food and drinking water, and began to travel west again. Although it was spring, the weather in the north was still terrifyingly cold. Because there was still snow on the road, he didn't dare to go too fast, so he walked for a whole afternoon, and only walked more than 20 miles.
Seeing that the sky was darkening, Duan Hongyu saw a village in front of him, and said secretly: "The people in the northwest are fierce, and there are many thieves. This place is different from the rest of the place, and I don't even have a friend, so if I get into trouble, I'll have to fight alone!" He jumped off his horse and led his horse into the village.
Duan Hongyu saw that there was a large family in the east of the village, and decided to spend the night here. He came to the door and knocked lightly twice.
Duan Hongyu: "Staying overnight, I hope it will be convenient for laymen!"
The village is located on a major transportation artery, and pedestrians often stay overnight, and almost every family does this. The man inside replied, "Do you have any fleas?"
Duan Hongyu said with a smile: "I just came from Qingyang, where did the fleas come from!"
Only then did the people inside open the courtyard door. The man was a camel, in his fifties, with a pockmarked face. He looked Duan Hongyu up and down and said, "Where are you from?"
Duan Hongyu hugged his fists and said: "I came from Fujian, I only borrowed it here for one night, and I will leave tomorrow morning, and I will ask a layman for convenience!"
The camel said, "Then you can come in with me!"
Duan Hongyu led the horse and followed the camel, through the two patios, to a dilapidated courtyard. The camel pointed to a dilapidated house on the west side and said, "This is it, there is firewood over there, burn the kang by yourself, and you have to burn the hot water by yourself." I'll bring you food in a moment. One or two silver a night, anyone can come at this price!"
After hearing this, Duan Hongyu said secretly: "If such a broken place has such a high price, it is almost time to catch up with the robbery." Why didn't you say earlier, I didn't come in yet!" He thought that since he had come in, it must be fate, so he said: "One or two will be one or two, and I will leave tomorrow morning!"
The camel said: "We have already stipulated that we have paid rent here." ”
Duan Hongyu took out a tael of silver from his arms and respectfully handed it to the camel.
The camel threw the silver into the air, and both of them narrowed their eyes and said, "Our meal here is another money!" and then pushed the door and went out.
Duan Hongyu said in his heart that such a poor condition is not even the food money, it is really darker than the Black Heart Inn, but he thinks that his one or two silver will definitely not come back, so he can only endure it.
Duan Hongyu was tired for a day, dragged his tired body and pushed the door into the house, and when he was inside, he found that the room was very simple, and there were almost no broken furniture. But the wood was already in the boat, and he could only hold back his resentment, put the burden and the two swords on the table, and then took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp.
After a while, the camel came into the house with a food plate with four steamed buns, two dishes, and a pot of soju.
Duan Hongyu saw that there was wine and food, and said secretly: "It's not bad!" When the camel put the food on the table, he saw that there was not much heat at all, and they were all leftovers.
Duan Hongyu grabbed the camel and said, "Brother, I gave you a lot of silver, how can I let me eat leftovers?"
The camel shook off Duan Hongyu and said, "What kind of leftovers! It's just fried, you passer-by is really troublesome!" After saying that, he shouted and scolded all the way out.
Duan Hongyu hated it so much, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he forcibly held back.
At this time, I heard a woman's voice outside: "Sun Huozi, what are you muttering? Is it because the old lady is not good here? Then hurry to another house!"
The grandson camel said: "Big lady, how dare I! My grandson camel has been with the master for so many years, when has I ever had two hearts?"
The woman said, "Then you don't say it to your face, but what are you talking about behind your back?"
Sun Huozi said: "As long as the camel has a bowl of rice to eat, he is willing to honor the lord and the eldest wife for the rest of his life." It's just that there is an afterlife tonight, and the camel sees him pitiful, so he kindly arranges a room for him, and accepts him half a tael less, who thinks that he not only appreciates it, but also picks and chooses!"
The woman's voice instantly raised: "Where did the madman dare to spread wild in the old lady's place." Sun Huozi, immediately find Zhang Qi and Liu Ba, drive him out of the door, let him go to sleep on the avenue, and eat ice and snow cubes!"
The Sun Huozi hurriedly said: "Big lady, hurry up and be quiet, you can't be angry with such a countryman." ”
The woman screamed and cursed all the way.
Duan Hongyu really regretted investing in this house, and said secretly: "I didn't expect that there would be such a shrew in the world, I am very unlucky." He was still in the mood to eat, so he pushed the food forward and sat down on the kang to rest. He looked at the food and said secretly: "Look at this house is so tricky, this meal has to count me a lot of money!"
Duan Hongyu sat on the kang for a long time, and his anger gradually subsided. He wanted to get up early tomorrow and hurry, so he came out to get some dry wood to burn the kang. As soon as I arrived outside the door, I heard the woman's screaming and scolding from the east courtyard.
Duan Hongyu's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Why is this woman not finished yet?" and thought again: "Impossible! I will never let her be so angry with this little thing, she would have hated me so much and would have kicked me out, I really don't know who offended her again." He didn't want to listen to the scolding outside, so he carried a large bundle of dry firewood into the house and heated the kang.
In the evening, Duan Hongyu came out to feed the horses, and as soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw Sun Huozi sitting on the opposite threshold smoking dry tobacco. He stepped forward and said, "Brother Sun, I don't know where the horse material is?"
Sun Huozi didn't even look at him, and pointed to the east: "It's over there in the wing room of the east courtyard." ”
Duan Hongyu said, "Thank you, brother!" He walked quickly to the east courtyard, and saw a large pile of horse material piled up in the wooden shed in front of the house. Duan Hongyu passed by in front of the wing room, only to hear the sobbing sound of a young woman coming from the room, and the sobbing sound was mixed with the cry of a baby. Duan Hongyu said secretly: "It turns out that the shrew was scolding this woman just now!" He walked quickly in front of the window, found a large dustpan, rubbed a large dustpan full of horse material, and returned to the dilapidated house. When he had finished feeding the horses, he went back to the house to rest.
Duan Hongyu felt that something was wrong while lying on the kang, and felt that the young woman's voice was very familiar. He closed his eyes and was about to sleep soundly, when he heard another commotion outside.
Duan Hongyu's heart moved, and he quickly got up from the kang and came to the East Courtyard. I saw a woman in her fifties screaming and cursing in the courtyard. She pointed to the window and scolded: "A thousand cuts, you did such a shameless thing, and ran to me like a lost dog." At that time, you had no one to care about, no one wanted you, and it was because we saw that you were pitiful, so we took you in. You gave birth to that evil seed in my house, you two eat here, drink here, pull here, sleep here, what kind of slow treatment has the old lady ever treated you? Now you have abducted a wild man outside, and you want to fly away, and you want to slander the old lady before leaving. There are still people in the world who have no conscience like you. If you want to go, you go, I want to roll up the old lady, but the door is not ......" The scolding words are getting more and more ugly.
