Chapter 82: Li Kui who escaped
When Wu Song heard this, he was stunned: "It's the centipede ridge again, I'll go and ask clearly." ”
"Old man, be polite. Wu Song saluted the old man and said, "Dare to ask who this aunt is talking about the Centipede Ridge bully, and why did her son disappear?"
The old man looked at Wu Song carefully, seeing that he looked high, and he didn't dare to slack off, and said politely: "This is Zhangjiazhuang, the old man is the owner of the village, everyone calls me Mrs. Zhang, and the guest officer is a passerby, why don't you drink a few bowls of water and wine in Xiaozhuang." ”
"The best!"
Wu Song knew that he didn't want to talk about things on the side of the road, so he didn't ask any more questions, and when Mrs. Zhang led everyone to worship, he followed to Zhangjiazhuang.
There are already more than a dozen tables in the courtyard, which are full of pigs, cattle and sheep that have been worshipped, all the people present are men, even the ones who serve the food are also men, and three roast pigs are placed on the altar.
Wu Song knows that women are not allowed to participate in all worship, not to mention in the Northern Song Dynasty, even in 2017, many rural places can not have women to worship every year, after worshipping, the roast pig will be cut open, each male one, called "too centimeter pork", so the preference for sons is also related to this, if there is no male in the family, every year too centimeter pork, their own family has no share, and the heart is always unbalanced.
Taigong Zhang invited Wu Song to sit in the chief together, and after three rounds of drinking, Wu Song asked: "Taigong, please tell me about the matter." ”
Zhang Taigong sighed: "Guest officer, you are a passerby, the less you know, the better, it is useless to add to your sorrow." ”
"Taigong, you can't say that, if I was just passing by, it's fine, but now that I have eaten the meat you worshipped, it is reasonable to know about this Zhangjiazhuang. ”
"The guest officer is a righteous person!" Zhang Taigong nodded and said: "The ancestors of Xiaozhuang are buried in Centipede Ridge, there used to be Mr. Yin and Yang who said that the feng shui there is very good, where our ancestors are buried can ensure the blessing of the descendants of Zhangjiazhuang, for this reason we also built a nunnery in front of the ancestral grave, and asked the grave keeper to take care of the grave. ”
"Years later, but a Taoist came, with a woman, killed the grave keeper, occupied the nunnery, and had sexual pleasure with the woman day and night, we naturally did not want to, sent someone to arrest him, who knew that the Taoist was very powerful, sent several groups of people up, and killed and injured countless people. ”
"Later, someone from Tianshen Village went up to arrest someone, it turned out that the person was called the Flying Centipede Wang Daoren, and the woman was from Tianshen Village, and she was forcibly captured by him, so we encircled and suppressed the two villages together, but they were not his opponents. ”
"This year's Qingming, I don't dare to go up to worship my ancestors, I can only worship on the side of the road, I'm really sorry for the ancestors of the Zhang family, you just saw Ah Niu's mother, his son Ah Niu, only twelve years old, well-behaved, often a person under the collar to herd cattle. ”
"Who knew that it disappeared half a month ago, and the cow was gone, some people said that they saw the royal people take it captive up the mountain, and the cattle were robbed, it is estimated that it is more auspicious and less, and Ah Niu's mother is a widow, but there is such a son, very pitiful, so even if you come to make trouble just now, everyone is not willing to drive it away. ”
"Don't hide it from the princess, the villain is going to go to Centipede Ridge, catch that royal man, and rescue Miss Tang!" Wu Song said proudly.
Mrs. Zhang shook his head bitterly and said: "Guest officer, look at your appearance, and you don't look like that big black man, if you want to drink and eat, Zhangjiazhuang has it, that is, it is not a problem to support you for a year or two, if you want to be entangled on the road, it doesn't matter if you give you a few taels of silver, you don't have to say such words." ”
Wu Song was stunned in his heart: "Why do you say that I am lying? Who is the black man?"
"I understand too much, the villain doesn't understand, please make it clear. ”
"About ten days ago, a big black man came to Zhangjiazhuang, who looked like a star from the sky, with a beard like a steel needle, and his face was like coming out of a carbon furnace, black, his eyes were red, he would glow, and he had two plate axes hanging around his waist. ”
"Carrying a blind old woman, it was his mother, to Zhangjiazhuang, we gave him meat, he was serving his mother and was full, he dared to eat, listened to the flying centipede, laughed, said that with the plate axe on his waist, even ten flying centipedes were chopped into meat sauce by him. ”
"I see that he looks vicious, seems to have the real ability, he is good every day to provide for the living, he ate wine and meat in Zhangjiazhuang for three days, said that the next day will go up the mountain to kill the flying centipede, we are naturally very happy, that night, there is a god village to supervise the quarrying of the official Zhong Daren passed, but also in the small village to stay, who knows the next day, the black man and his mother disappeared, the kitchen reported that people stole half a cooked sheep. ”
"Hey, half a cooked sheep is nothing, it's just that he gave everyone hope, but he is a liar, you say that you are not angry, and the guest officer said the same words as the black man, how do you make the old man believe. ”
When Wu Song heard this, he knew in his heart, and he also guessed who the big black man was, and asked, "What is the name of the big black man?"
"He said that his name was Li Er, and he heard his mother call him Tie Niu!"
Wu Song smiled in his heart: "Sure enough, it's Li Kui!"
"It's strange, Li Kui is not a person who doesn't keep his promises, how could he run away, oh, I know, he must have committed some official wrongdoing, and when he saw an official coming to stay, he thought he was arresting him, so he fled, haha, this black bull is really reckless. ”
Wu Song smiled slightly: "Taigong, you don't have to be afraid, the villain is Wu Song, the head of Yanggu County!"
"You are Wu Song who fought tigers on Jingyang Gang?" Zhang Taigong exclaimed.
"It's the villain!" Wu Song heard him say this, knowing that he was arrested by the government, and it hadn't been reported here, and after thinking about it, in fact, this matter is not expected to make a big deal, killing Gao Yanei by himself was an order from the emperor, Gao Yu didn't dare to make a noise, the matter of Yanggu County, whether it was Liu Wenzheng or the county, he didn't dare to publicize it, if Liu Wenzheng got off the horse, the county would cover it up for himself.
"Come on, everyone!"
Zhang Taigong stood up with joy, shouting loudly to everyone, more than 100 men walked around, he dragged Wu Song's hand and said: "Everyone, he is Wu Song who fights tigers on Jingyang Gang, Wudu head, he wants to go to Centipede Ridge to catch that royal Taoist, there is a capital head to shoot, why worry about things not happening!"
Everyone was very happy when they heard it, and Mrs. Zhang said fairly: "Dutou, when are you going to receive it?"
"Let's go after eating!"
Zhang Taigong was calm in his heart: "He is not like the black man, he will go when he says he will go, it seems that there is hope for regaining the ancestral tomb this time, it is really the blessing of the ancestors, and he will lower the head of Wudu!"
"Dutou, how many people do you need to bring up, the people in Zhangjiazhuang are all sent by you!"
Wu Song took out two ring knives from his waist and said with a smile: "It's okay to take these two brothers with you!"
Mrs. Zhang was very emotional, and said: "Dutou, you will eat a little full, so you have strength, don't drink too much wine!"
"Meat is naturally to be eaten, but the more wine, the better, Wu Song is to drink a point of wine, a point of strength, a point of wine, a lot of strength, ha!"
"Okay, listen to everyone!" "Taigong Zhang is not like Shao Fei thought, when he heard that Wu Song was going to drink, he immediately asked people to bring out all the best wine in the village, and Wu Song drank very happily.
After drinking until noon, Wu Song patted his stomach, stood up and arched his hand: "Everyone, Wu Song will go up the mountain to kill the flying centipede, there is something to worry about you." ”
Zhang Taigong hurriedly said: "Dutou, but whatever is told, the old man did not fail to do it." ”
"That's good, the tired prince prepares the wine and meat, Wu Song went up the mountain to kill that guy, and his stomach must growl!"
"That's good!"
Wu Song identified the direction, walked straight to Centipede Ridge, walked for about an hour, and then arrived at Centipede Ridge, Wu Song looked up, the mountain range is deep, the scenery is pleasant, it is indeed a good scenery, but it is a pity that the flying centipede is ruined.
He raised his eyes and saw that there was indeed a nunnery in the middle of the mountain, so he strode forward.
"Dead ghost, do you have to be so anxious?" a woman's laughter came out in the mountains and forests, with a strong sense of spring. 10
