Chapter 11: Don't Go
Zhao Le left Jin'an and walked all the way east, in the middle he did not rush to the big city, he could only rest in a small village, the village is not large about 100 households, called Zhaojia Village, but it is very enthusiastic. After seeing Zhao Le's initial wariness passed, it was a warm hospitality, Zhao Le lived in the village chief's house, the autumn harvest had just passed, this year's harvest was not bad, each family did not worry about this year's year, the harvest was not good in the past, some young and middle-aged people in the village had to go out to ask for food, and women and children were relying on picking some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, otherwise the food was not enough and it was likely that the family would not be able to survive this winter.
When night fell, Zhao Le and the village chief's family sat in the courtyard and chatted, the weather was getting cooler, sitting in the yard was naturally not for the sake of enjoying the coolness, the house was too dark for the oil lamp to save money, sitting in the courtyard by the moonlight, chatting was enough.
"Little brother, where are you going?" the old village chief everyone called him Lao Zhaotou.
"I don't know, I'm going all the way east. ”
"Don't you know where you're going? Lao Zhao Tou made a pertinent suggestion. Lao Zhao Tou has three sons, the Venerable Ding Xingwang who has no daughter, the eldest and the second also have families, and they are all married to girls from the same village, and the third has not yet been found, but Lao Zhao Tou decided to do it in the coming year, taking advantage of this harvest year, otherwise if it is delayed, in case of a famine year, this is the world to delay.
"Little brother, speaking of which, we are also our own family, what do you do in your family? How many people are in the family?"
"I'm the only one in my family, so I can play around freely, and my family used to be in business and had some money. "Zhao Le is no longer a novice who has just entered the world, and after the experience of the past few days, Zhao Le has gradually learned some survival skills.
"It's a pity that the family is gone, I haven't married yet. "Lao Zhao Tou is as unrelenting as checking the household registration.
Speaking of marrying, Zhao Le couldn't hold it on his face, "No...... No, not married yet. ”
"If you look so handsome, don't worry, you will definitely marry a daughter-in-law, you haven't seen that many little girls and daughters-in-law have just entered our village, and they can't take their eyes off" Old Zhao Tou's words made Zhao Le even more embarrassed.
"Dad, what are you talking about, you see that the little brother is embarrassed," the daughter-in-law of the boss of the Zhao family first relieved Zhao Le.
When Lao Zhao heard the eldest daughter-in-law speak, his eyes widened, "You didn't look less, talking to the old man, you go back to your room" The eldest daughter-in-law was reluctant to hear it, but the majesty of Lao Zhaotou was still there, the eldest daughter-in-law went back stupidly, and the second daughter-in-law looked at this scene and secretly smiled, "You also go back to the room for me!"
"Take good care of your daughter-in-law, you don't know etiquette. Lao Zhao turned his head to the two sons and gave another batch.
"Little brother, don't mind if you don't mean anything else, haha, let's continue to talk and continue to talk" They had a conversation, after all, Lao Zhao Tou was old and his energy was not good, so everyone dispersed, and Zhao Le was arranged to share a room with the third child of the Zhao family.
The next day, Zhao Le got up early and prepared to leave. But when he got up, everyone had already gotten up, even if there was no farm work, the people in the village were used to getting up early, and when they saw Zhao Le, the old Zhao Tou greeted him, and then shouted to hurry up and cook. Zhao Le excused himself and said that he was leaving, but was stopped by Lao Zhao Tou enthusiastically.
After breakfast, there was a chat, Zhao Le said that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to catch up with the next place to rest, and the old Zhao Tou didn't stop again, and when he left, the people in the village came to see him off, especially those little daughters-in-law, little girls, pointing at him and smiling shyly from time to time.
Wu Yan is the son of the landlord of Xikou Town, he has always been idle, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are not pulling, of course the family has money to be willful, it seems that Wu Yan seems to have grown up today, and he wants to go to Zhaojia Village for his father to rent a child.
Zhao Le walked to the entrance of the village and turned around to salute everyone, and then turned around to leave.
"Yo, who is this?" it was Wu Yan who spoke, he had just arrived here, and he saw a handsome back, as a son who thought he was suave, how could he bear it when he saw someone more popular than himself?
"Wu Gongzi is here, this little brother is passing by our village to rest here, and now he wants to continue on the road. The village chief knew Wu Yan's virtue and stepped forward and said.
"Who told you to speak? How old are you?" Wu Yan looked angry. "How can you tell you to go on my turf?"
"Then what do you want?" Zhao Le looked at Wu Yan calmly.
"Give money, how can you eat for nothing? Hurry up and give money. Wu Yan was impatient.
"Wu Gongzi, it's just to order food for this little brother, I was squeezed together with my third brother last night, it's nothing, I don't need to give money"
"Who told you to talk too much? Why do you talk so much, you old man? Ahhhhhh ”
"This," the people in the village exploded as soon as they heard this, and they talked about it.
"How can you say that the rent will go up like this?" said one of the villagers angrily. "That's right, there is a rule for everything, why do you say it goes up?"
"Yes, yes"
Hearing the people in the crowd keep accusing, Wu Yan sneered, "I don't want to do what I say, you can not plant, I can't live without your rent here" Wu Yan dug out his ears and looked at the villagers in front of him with disdain. Hearing this, the people of Zhaojia Village immediately quieted down, and no one spoke anymore, after all, they couldn't live without land.
Zhao Le looked at everything in front of him and was a little annoyed, how could it be like this?
"If there is anything you can do to me, don't target the villagers, they are just honest croppers, I just want to ask, where did I provoke you?"
"You're provoking me here, what's coming at you? It's nothing but asking for money, and it costs money to live here! Do you have money? I don't know where the wild boy came out, and he's still pretending to be a young master here, ah? Wu Yan is very embarrassed, this feeling is really good, feel free to pinch others, do whatever you want, Wu Yan thought to himself.
"Is it enough?" "When he saw the things that the person he had been laughing at took out, he instantly stayed in place, even the villagers of Zhaojia Village swallowed their saliva, Wu Yan looked at the few people behind him in disbelief, and they also looked incredible, Wu Yan, as a gentleman, usually spends money not a lot, and it is not the first time he has seen gold, but how could he have thought that that guy would take out an ingot of gold.
"Enough" Wu Yan reached out and took the gold, bit it, and instantly smiled, "It's just enough!"
"That's good, I'm asking if the money is enough to cover the thirty percent of the food you said, since it's enough. The villagers, who were originally very sad, were instantly relieved when they heard Zhao Le say this.
"You, you, that's not enough!" Wu Yan, who originally thought that he had taken a big advantage, felt that he had been tricked, "What you obviously said is that it is enough for those five taels of silver!" Wu Yan was angry!
"Are you stupid or am I stupid? Everyone knows that gold is more valuable than silver, and as far as I know, I gave you ten taels of gold, and I will know if this is enough for five taels of silver?"
Seeing that there was going to be a fight, the village chief wanted to go up to stop it, but Wu Yan's fist was pinched into Zhao Le's hand, and the people who rushed up saw that Wu Yan was controlled, and hesitated, "What are you doing in a daze, go on!"
For Zhao Le, of course, these people are not afraid, and they were all knocked to the ground after a while, and Wu Yan held his right hand that was pinched and hurt by Zhao Le just now, and looked at Zhao Le with some fear, Zhao Le walked into Wu Yan, "Take the gold and go." Zhao Le's hands were not heavy, and after a while, those nursing homes that followed Wu Yan all stood up, but there was still some pain in the thigh, Wu Yan hated and said to Zhao Le, "The kid has the ability, don't run, wait for me!" After speaking, he ran away with his own people, looking at Wu Yan and his party who ran away, Zhao Le just shook his head and smiled, sighing that he was wasting another day.
"Village Chief, it looks like I'm going to be here for another day. Zhao Le said to the village chief with a smile.
"Little brother, you better run quickly, wait until tomorrow they bring someone here, you can't leave if you want to. The village chief said sincerely.
"He can't go, it's what he provoked, how can he just leave. One of the villagers shouted. Hearing this, Lao Zhaotou's face instantly turned ugly. Turn to the person who spoke and say, "Shut up!"
"I ......"
"Don't worry, if I get into trouble, I'll naturally solve it!" Zhao Le still smiled.
"You better run quickly, really, their Wu family has a very powerful mage, some spells are not good, I know that you are good but you can do spells, what should you do? So you better run quickly, rest assured that they will not do anything to us, at most, at most charge more rent, you run quickly." The village chief was even a little anxious.
But when he heard that there was a spell, Zhao Le was curious, and now he made up his mind to stay. He bypassed the village chief, "The third elder of the Zhao family, squeeze in with you for another night, do you have no opinion?"
"Of course it's okay!" Zhao Laosan also wanted to talk to this guy more, in case he was happy, he would give himself another ingot of gold, that's it
