Chapter 13, Yangzhou Four Less
Wei Xiaobao has been quite comfortable recently, going out for a stroll in the morning, sometimes going to the casino to play two dice, after all, in the future, as expected, he will still enter the palace to serve the emperor, what should be learned must be learned, not to mention, with Wei Xiaobao's cleverness really won a lot, Wei Xiaobao also can't figure it out, don't they all say that ten bets and nine loses, is it because he is too handsome, his charm can't be resisted, and even the dice obediently let himself.
Wei Xiaobao also took a few small followers around him when he had nothing to do, Wang Lele, the youngest son of Wang Tailor, Li Gang, the eldest son of Li Blacksmith, and Chu Fei, the son of Zuiyue Building next door, since Wei Xiaobao became famous, he was sticking to his parents every day to run to Lichun Courtyard, and their parents were not afraid that they would find a young lady to learn badly, after all, they were not very old, even if they wanted to find a girl, the guy was useless, the eldest Li was just 10 years old. The relationship between the brothers is very iron, and they are friends who wear open crotch pants together, although Wei Xiaobao is young, he has the most eyes, everyone listens to him, and he is recognized as the boss of the four young people in Yangzhou.
Wei Xiaobao is not an honest person, he didn't do anything good with them all day long, either he went to Lichun Courtyard to see the uncle play with the girl, or he went outside to learn from others to fight grievances, and asked Li Gang to give each of his brothers a handful of guys, learning to be a good man and a chivalrous guest.
When there are stealing things on the street and bullying people from other places, the brothers are quite excited, don't say anything, copy the guys, they also care if there are any men who bully their wives, and at night they also learn from people in the rivers and lakes to find a few pieces of black cloth masked to catch what flower thieves. Isn't this just because of this matter, a few people are really famous, and they are jokingly called the 'Yangzhou Four Youths' by the nearby neighbors, and under the influence of Zhao Ming, the government even sent a plaque to Wei Xiaobao,
Wei Xiaobao is chic, almost didn't scare Wei Chunhua to death, for fear that Wei Xiaobao would be careless, and the scholar would be stabbed by someone in a fight, after all, they don't have any martial arts, but they are small ghosts, and they can't help but be idle all day long and like to provoke trouble everywhere.
Speaking of the origin of the 'Yangzhou Four Youths', the thing is like this, just had breakfast this day, Wei Xiaobao was about to go out, a rush of footsteps came, and after a while, the door was pushed open, Wei Xiaobao turned his head to take a look, and saw Wang Lele looking out of breath.
Wei Xiaobao said, "I said Lele, what are you anxious about early in the morning?" Rushing to mourn? ”
Wei Chunhua twisted Wei Xiaobao's ear and scolded sharply, "What are you talking about, you're not serious, come in, Lele." Wang Lele was the most timid and honest of the four, and he was almost speechless with fright.
Frowning, touching the back of his head, Wang Lele thought for a while, and then came to Wei Xiaobao and replied, "Boss, that's the case, the four of us have been together for so long, and I want to do something big and let others see it, I can't insult the prestige of the boss." ”
Wei Xiaobao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was worried that there was no fun to play, "What's the big deal?" Do you guys have a good idea? ”
"If so, am I still looking for the boss? I don't know how many brothers know, boss, you are wise and martial, suave, talented, rich and rich, and extremely smart...... Our brother's admiration for you is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control. Looking at Wang Lele's posture, he was going to talk endlessly, but Wei Xiaobao hurriedly shouted to stop.
Wei Xiaobao smiled, "Okay, or you think the boss is so easy to be, gather in the old place in a while, and I will come in a while." ”
"Okay," Wang Lele agreed and ran out.
"Okay, Xiaobao, you see that you are getting scared now, your tail is about to go up to the sky, and several of them have learned badly from you, be careful of retribution for doing too many bad things." Wei Chunhua quipped.
Children's affairs on weekdays, Wei Chunhua is also up to them, after all, they are all big children, and it is normal to mess around, as long as they don't kill people and set fires, Wei Chunhua doesn't bother to pay attention to them, obviously, Wei Chunhua is extremely conniving with Wei Xiaobao, even if she knows that Wei Xiaobao goes out to steal chickens and dogs, Wei Chunhua will not be too angry.
Wei Xiaobao cried and muttered aggrievedly, "Mother, you have wronged me, I'm not afraid that they will grow up and suffer losses, teach them the truth of how to behave in the world, who knows that they don't have enough understanding, and they can't learn well, this sycophant kung fu is decent." ”
Wei Chunhua sneered, "Okay, go out in a while, remember not to cause trouble for your mother." ”
Wei Xiaobao hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I know, mother, I'll buy you a box of good rouge when I go back." With that, Wei Xiaobao took an apple from the table and went out. This kid. Wei Chunhua couldn't help laughing, although her son didn't do anything right all day, he didn't say anything about his filial piety.
The old place is an old locust tree that has passed the stone bridge outside the gate of Lichun Courtyard, because the homes of the four children are not very far apart, Wei Xiaobao picked the nearest place in the center, as a stronghold for contact, and when he arrived, Li Gang and Chu Fei were all there, and Lele was still holding two rock sugar gourds in his hands, and he was eating Zhenghuan.
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "Just a few little kids who eat rock sugar gourds, what big things can they do?" ”
Seeing Wei Xiaobao coming, Wang Lele hurriedly ran over, "Boss, you're here, give." Saying that, Wang Lele handed the rock sugar gourd to Wei Xiaobao, took it and ate a few bites, Wei Xiaobao asked, "Say, what's a good idea, it's too boring to make a small fuss, it's time to make a name for yourself." ”
Li Gang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the boss still has brains, but we are not discussing it." "Li Gang has always been honest, and a few people don't know how to speak to him.
"By the way, boss, I just passed by the gate of the official mansion and saw a notice posted at the door, as if it was a reward for some flower thief, why don't we go and take a look, maybe we can do something." Chu Fei interjected. Wei Xiaobao rolled his eyes, thinking about it, a few people can't just daydream, they have to do something big, so the four of them went to the government together.
Take a look outside the official house, sure enough, there is a notice, which reads in black and white, "Fathers and fellow villagers pay attention, there is a river and a foreign flower thief, frequent crimes on the ground in Yangzhou, first rape and then kill, the behavior is outrageous, the means are very brutal, has harmed a lot of good women, late night travel hope everyone to pay attention, especially women are better to go together, close the doors and windows at night, thieves like to commit crimes late at night, especially small doors, it is best not to go out at night, the official lord offers a reward of five hundred taels to arrest this person, and those who know the matter report the case as soon as possible, There will be a great reward. ’
There is also a portrait drawn on the side, the face is not very clear, how nice it would be if there was a photo, Wei Xiaobao thought. Looking at the appearance of the flower thief, he is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a full beard, and a very fierce appearance, looking like a practitioner, quite strong.
Wei Xiaobao and the others found a secluded place and began to sum up, Wang Lele was the most timid, at this time, when he saw that he was going to catch Jiang Yang's thief, he was a little scared, and muttered weakly in a low voice, "Boss, I think we should not provoke him?" Looking at this posture, we can't beat it. "Chu Fei Yinghe said" is also right, people know martial arts, and they can fly the eaves and walk the wall, but we don't think we can do it." Chu Fei also hesitated a little.
Li Gang is quite bold, a few people are strong and courageous, because his father is a blacksmith, and he does a lot of rough work on weekdays, and his body is very strong, Li Gang glared at the two of them, and snorted disdainfully, "What are you afraid of, what is there to worry about, I haven't acted yet, I want to be a turtle with a shrunken head." What does the eldest brother say on weekdays, to be a hero, to be a man, you have to fight unevenly, good friends, righteousness, why do you want to retreat when you encounter the real thing now. ”
Wei Xiaobao took in the expressions of several people, lowered his head and thought about it, and then said, "We don't know martial arts, but I didn't say that things are not easy to do, I didn't say that we have to come hard, hard work can't work, we can outwit it, right?" ”
Seeing that Wang Lele and Chu Fei were still hesitating, Wei Xiaobao smiled and proposed, "The old rule, four people vote, the minority obeys the majority, and a two-on-two draw will be a burden of scissors." ”
"Okay, vote." Li Gang hurriedly responded.
