0233 Take advantage of the fire

At that time, there was no electricity, and there was no other entertainment, so it was natural to go to bed when it was dark. But today's weather is too bad, and Niu Bajin doesn't want to sleep in the room. So he chose a large unloading cart in the yard, spread a few bales of straw on it, pressed the bag containing the change of clothes on the knife and used it as a pillow and lay down.

I don't know what time it is. Niu Mangu climbed up and wanted to find a convenient place. But I can't find any good place in this dark and dark. However, Niu Mangu touched the side of the stables by the starlight, and happily put water in it.

Niu Mangu was sleepy, and for a while I couldn't count how many stars were falling! He thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the sky again, there were still so many meteors.

He tried to think about the meteor in his head, but most of the stories he recalled were unlucky stories. So Niu Mangu is very dissatisfied with himself! He spat out the straw in his mouth with a "puff", trying to make himself remember some auspicious stories about meteors.

Niu Mangu felt like beans being turned upside down in a dustpan at this time! Fear completely captured Niu Mangu's heart. He screamed in panic, desperately trying to hold his body, but his weak strength was useless in the face of nature's heavenly might!

I don't know how long it took, but in the impression of Niu Mangu, maybe it was a year before the earth finally calmed down!

The shaking of the earth finally stopped, and Niu Mangu and his son helped each other to their feet, only to find that the big car shop was gone by starlight! Niu Mangu said with a crying voice: "This is the earth dragon turning, right?" ”

After a long while, Niu Bajin made up his mind, reached out and scooped up the knife and burden on the ground and hung them on it, and then ran into the yard

The direction that Niu Bajin ran to was the stove room, and the target was easy to find. Because the earth dragon turned over and collapsed the house, the embers in the stove ignited the straw, and the flames were slowly getting bigger. Niu Bajin ran over, and three handfuls and two began to lift the debris. Fortunately, the houses in the big car shop are all made of adobe, and the roofs are covered with straw, so it is easy to pick them up.

Niu Mangu, who had just woken up from a dream, began to help carry things. The cart shop was full of people coming and going, so there was still a lot of food saved. Soon, the father and son found seven or eight bags of grain and an iron pot. By this time, screams and cries for help were already heard in the ruins.

The two of them made several trips back and forth, and threw all the food they found on the cart. Then Niu Bajin motioned to Niu Mangu to drag the cart with him. The two men followed the firelight to the stable. The stables are even less sturdy, and have already collapsed in the earth dragon. Just because the stables were just wooden shelves with hay on them. So the horses inside were nothing serious, except that the wood had injured a horse and lay there barking. A few horses were scattered. There were four horses left that were firmly tied and did not run out.

After saying that, he started to do it himself. Niu Mangu has always been in contact with horses as a knife maker in recent years, so he also knows how to ride. He stroked the horse's head, trying to calm it down. The horses were all tame, and when they saw someone coming, they quickly quieted down. Niu Bajin and the two of them quickly put on the saddle and led the horse to the cart, and threw a few bags of beans to feed the horse to the cart. Then he put one of the horses on the cart and whispered, "You take those three horses and go out quickly!" ”

Niu Bajin drove the carriage out and said, "That house is all adobe houses, and it won't kill anyone if it collapses." At most, it will be a broken hand and a broken foot! Hurry up, or they'll crawl out in a while, and we'll not be able to get out. ”

But Niu Bajin can't manage so much. In his opinion, it is only true if he keeps what he gets in front of him! He still has his dreams to accomplish!

Go.

Niu Bajin waited on the side of the road until he saw a small official appear with two servants. Judging by their appearance, it should be that the affairs in the county town have been dealt with, and these people can take care of going out of the city to check the situation. Niu Bajin looked at the opportunity for them to disperse and check, approached the little official and said, "This gentleman, take a step to speak." ”

Niu Bajin was not polite, and said directly: "My son and I have been working as swordsmen, and there is nothing in the household registration documents." Now we want to settle down, and we feel that this time Dilong is a good opportunity, so we want to take advantage of the chaos to make up for a household registration. If it is done, there will be a great reward! ”

Niu Bajin naturally understood what the little official meant. He directly stuffed the reins of the horse in the hand of the king and said, "Sir, this horse was ridden back from the border town. ”

The little officer weighed the gold and silver in his hand, and then looked at the horses. The mind is thinking fast. He felt that this time it should be done.

Of course, they did this to cooperate with the big families in the county to conceal their hukou and embezzle the land. So it's just too easy for them to do something in it. So in a very short period of time, the little official made up his mind. For a horse can be sold for at least thirty or forty taels of silver. Together with the gold and silver in his hand, he could get a total of about 100 taels of silver. Even if you give twenty or thirty taels to others, you can take a big share yourself. The little official who made up his mind sneered and said, "You're not afraid that I will report you to the government after I collect the money?" ”

Niu Bajin is sure that the little official will not do this! Because he pointed out his share of the swordsman at the beginning, if the little official swallowed the silver, he might be killed one day! What's more, what I did today is not risky at all.

Niu Bajin didn't want to lose his ancestors, so he reported the real names and appearances of the two. He wasn't worried about being wanted, after all, a long time had passed. And their names are too ordinary, I dare not say that they are all over the world, but they will definitely not attract the attention of others.

In this way, Niu Bajin's father and son were registered in Pingliang, Shaanxi.
