Chapter 17: The Girl in Brocade
Duan Hongyu continued on his way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Along the way, he asked people if he knew Duan Yipeng. Most of the pedestrians were so frightened by him that they retreated again and again, and the bold ones shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of it. Duan Hongyu secretly wondered, listening to the Venerable Ziyun, Duan Yipeng was a big thief, he should be very famous in the rivers and lakes, ordinary people, even if they hadn't seen it, they would never have even heard of it!
At that time, it was the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and the world was in chaos. Due to the Manchu invasion, the war continued for many years. Coupled with the corruption of the government and natural and man-made disasters, uprisings all over the country were surging, and there were robbers and ruffians everywhere. On both sides of the road, there are white bones and rotting corpses, and there are poor people waiting to be fed everywhere. Duan Hongyu has always lived in a barren mountain village and knows very little about the outside world. Now, in comparison, the small mountain village where he grew up is like paradise. Thinking that the dignified Celestial Empire had reached such a situation, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Duan Hongyu traveled all the way north, walked for two days, and arrived in Jiangxi. In the afternoon of that day, we came to a large town. Although it was a time of war and chaos, the town was still very lively. The dignitaries and nobles are still living a life of embracing red and green, drunk and dreaming of death. The town is full of luxury restaurants, and it is full of businessmen doing business. Duan Hongyu was a little hungry, so he went to a restaurant and asked for some cheap meals. The guy in the shop looked at him shabby, and he didn't care if he ignored him.
He was eating while looking at the scenery outside the window, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, and a young man in brocade rode past the window. This young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and a petite figure, but the burden he immediately put was very large, and he had a three-foot long sword hanging from his waist. Looking at the horse he stepped on, it was tall, with slender limbs, a high neck, a snow-white body, and no stray hair, it was really a good horse. Li Bai's "White Horse Chapter" has a verse cloud:
Ryoma Flower Snow Hair,
Golden Saddle Wuling Hao.
Autumn frost cut jade sword,
Sunset pearl robe.
It is quite appropriate to say that the two horse owners are two. Duan Hongyu saw that this person was outstanding, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.
The young man was also looking into the store, and he looked up at Duan Hongyu. Duan Hongyu was afraid of getting into trouble, so he hurriedly buried his head to eat and no longer looked out. Unexpectedly, as soon as the young man lifted the reins of his horse, he actually broke into the shop with a horse. I only heard a big chaos downstairs, thinking that someone stepped forward to stop it, but it was only a moment, and I only heard the horse's hooves. The brocade-clothed boy actually hit his horse and rushed upstairs. The guests who were eating upstairs were so frightened that they hugged their heads and fled downstairs.
Duan Hongyu said in his heart: "This person is so rude. ”
The young man in brocade got off the horse, patted the white horse and said, "Good horse, I'll play with you when I'm done eating." He went straight to Duan Hongyu's table and sat down loudly.
Duan Hongyu didn't look at him either, and said in his heart: "It's better to provoke such a person." "Keep eating.
The shopkeeper came upstairs, but was too scared to come.
The brocade-clothed young man opened the baggage, took out two large pieces of silver from it, and said, "This is for you, even if the good wine and food come up, if it is late, be careful of your dog's head." ”
The shopkeeper weighed the silver, his eyes immediately narrowed into a slit, and he said with a smile: "The grandfather will be there soon." "The fart is going down to Zhang Luo, this face is very different from treating Duan Hongyu.
Duan Hongyu said secretly: "This young man is so generous, it seems that he is not a good person, maybe he is a thief who robs money, I can eat quickly, don't provoke him." He suddenly smelled the aroma of rouge and said secretly, "It's really fragrant." ”
There is no one else on this floor, it is clearly emanating from the brocade-clothed young man. Duan Hongyu said in his heart: "How can such a big man be greased and powdered. He looked up at the brocade-clothed boy again, but couldn't help but laugh out loud. It turned out that this person actually had ear holes, and he was clearly a female baby, but he had to pretend to be a man, Duan Hongyu couldn't help but laugh for a while.
The brocade-clothed girl was furious and said sharply, "What are you laughing at?"
Duan Hongyu reacted very quickly, put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Childe, may I ask if you have heard of a person named Duan Yipeng." ”
The girl in brocade glanced at him and said, "I've heard of it." ”
Duan Hongyu was just trying to cover it up just now, but he didn't expect this person to really know his father's name, so he was overjoyed for a while, and asked, "Childe, do you know where Duan Yipeng is now?"
The girl in brocade said angrily: "Who is he, what are you asking for?"
Duan Hongyu said: "It's not a secret, Duan Yipeng is my father. I'm here to find him, and I'm grateful to ask Childe for some guidance. ”
At this time, the shopkeeper had already brought the food of the girl in brocade, and it was really very rich. The brocade girl said: "I'm going to eat now, I'll tell you when I'm done, don't ask nonsense." She no longer paid attention to Duan Hongyu, lowered her head and began to eat.
Where did Duan Hongyu still have the heart to eat, he threw his rice bowl aside and waited anxiously. He wanted to ask, but when he saw that the woman was domineering, he was afraid of offending her, so he had to wait quietly.
The girl was very gentle, she ate slowly, took small bites into her mouth, and took out the mirror from time to time to take a look, playing with her face, and she had been eating for more than half an hour, and she hadn't finished eating, which made Duan Hongyu so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot.
At this moment, suddenly two men in strong clothes came up from downstairs, and they took advantage of the fact that the girl in brocade clothes did not see it, and secretly pulled the reins of the horse to lead the horse downstairs.
Duan Hongyu begged the girl in brocade clothes for something, and was about to stop it, when he suddenly heard two miserable screams, and the two big men rolled downstairs one after the other.
Duan Hongyu looked back and saw that the chopsticks in the hand of the brocade girl were gone, and said secretly: "She didn't look back to play so accurately, it seems that her kung fu is not shallow." ”
The two men in strong suits did not dare to come up again, and fled with crawling and rolling.
The girl in brocade asked for a pair of chopsticks, but she still ate unhurriedly. Duan Hongyu said in his heart: "Look at the two people who left just now, they looked back and scolded from time to time, and they didn't seem to be reconciled. This woman is going to be in big trouble, she doesn't know at all, and after a while, the two sides will start to move, I can be more clever, don't have anything to do with her. ”
Soon, when the brocade-clothed girl had finished eating, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and stood up.
Duan Hongyu also stood up, and just wanted to ask a question, the brocade-clothed girl said impatiently: "I'm annoyed now, I'm not in the mood to talk to you." If you want to know, come with me!" She didn't care whether Duan Hongyu agreed or not, threw the burden into Duan Hongyu's hand, stepped on the white horse and went downstairs.
Everyone downstairs avoided her, and she was on horseback, so unexpected.
Duan Hongyu weighed the burden, and the silver in it was one hundred taels at least, and said secretly: "You are arrogant, and you are not afraid that I will run away with your money." He was anxious to inquire about his father's whereabouts, and sped up his figure, for fear of being thrown off by the woman in brocade.
The two of them walked out of the restaurant one after the other and headed north along the main road. The girl in brocade and the man were extremely handsome, attracting countless passers-by to look up. She was quite excited, scratching her head on the horse's back, and finally vomited Duan Hongyu so disgustingly.
