Chapter 11: Red Sleeves

In this short period of time, they have all heard about Dong Ce's murderous name, and they know that Dong Erlang is not easy to mess with now, and just now they saw Dong Ce being escorted into the court, but how did he come out unscathed at this time? They don't know what's going on inside, but they also know that if they don't have the ability, they can't do it.

Dong Ce ignored Wang Tong's splashes, and his eyes swept over the faces of the two big-footed women who were holding jujube sticks and had fierce faces, and then fixed on the woman.

When I saw the woman standing on the steps, I couldn't help but light up my eyes. As the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial. She wore a snow-white filial piety dress, her hair was tied with a white cloth, her white clothes were like snow, her face was pale, and she seemed to have been cleared compared with when she saw her yesterday.

Her eyes fell on Dong Ce, with hatred, anger, and more fear.

"I didn't send them." Dong Ce suddenly spoke, pointed at Wang Tong, and said lightly: "If I want to come, I will come alone, why bother looking for someone to make a strong noise." ”

Wang Tong laughed dryly, Ren was as thick-skinned as a city wall, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. I was even more worried that Dong Ce would clean them up.

"You guys, you can't even beat the two mothers-in-law, it's a shame!" Dong Ce scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and get out!" ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Dong!" If a few people were pardoned, they quickly pulled out the one-book-read-small-talk-leg and left.

Dong Ce shouted: "When you go out, close the gate tightly, and smash the sign of 'Sun Mansion' at the door as firewood!" ”

Wang Tong's voice came: "Brother Dong, don't worry, leave it to us!" ”

Sure enough, not long after, the sound of smashing things came from outside.

Dong Ce smiled slightly, turned his gaze back, and the two big-footed women couldn't help but shrink back, and the jujube sticks in their hands nodded, and one of them began: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Dong Ce ignored him, he walked under the grape trellis, this grape trellis was cleaned up in the east of the courtyard, just under the steps, a small open space was opened, but it was a foot square, surrounded by a circle of bricks eight inches high, like a small well. The grapes are planted in them. This grape is similar in age to Dong Ce, and when he was very young, he had the memory of growing up with it. At this time, it was already leafy, and the green leaves shaded half of the yard, and the bamboo poles were erected, and the vines grew wantonly on it, shielding them from the sun, bringing coolness, and sprinkling fruits.

Dong Ce walked to a bunch of grapes by himself, stretched out his hand and twisted it, and picked off this bunch of rose-colored purple grapes weighing three catties, as if talking to himself: "However, Wang Tong, what they said is not bad, Sun Ruhu occupies my family's land, my family's house, all this, I want to take it back." ”

Deathly silence.

The two big-footed women gritted their teeth angrily, and wanted to beat Dong Ce hard with a round stick, but they didn't dare, the woman bit her lower lip lightly, and there was already despair in her eyes.

"Are you Sun Ruhu's wife or concubine?" Dong Ce suddenly turned around and asked very abruptly.

"Concubine!" The woman bit her lip and whispered.

"You are a hundred miles away, do you have relatives?"

"None!" target

Dong Ce smiled faintly: "The land, I have taken it back, and the house must also be taken back." Sun Ruhu has bullied me for many years, but you are right, now the war is in chaos, the four fields are not quiet, you are a lonely and weak woman is not easy to survive, since you have no relatives to run to, I have a way to live with you. ”

Dong Ce stared at her and said word by word: "Sun Ruhu is dead, you follow me!" ”

Bang, bang.

The jujube sticks in the hands of the two big-footed mothers-in-law fell to the ground, and they looked at Dong Ce dumbfounded, thinking in their hearts, how could there be such a strong and domineering person in this world, not only to occupy the house, but also to occupy other people's women? But what he said was quite right, and he looked like he should be like this.

She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, and finally answered in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Dong Ce laughed, strode forward, and hugged her shoulders. Her shoulders were very thin, and when Dong Ce hugged her, her body trembled violently, but she didn't struggle.

Her figure is petite and exquisite, but it is not the kind of rib frame, but it is slender and measured, and it is very comfortable to hold in her arms.

Dong Ce pointed to a big mole on the forehead on the left, and there was a handful of black-haired women on the mole and said, "Your name is Big Girl?" ”

The was stunned, nodded a little bewildered, and said, "I am." ”

"Next!" Dong Ce threw the grapes to her, and the eldest girl hurriedly caught them, only to listen to Dong Ce's instructions: "Put them in the well water and freeze, I will eat them later." ”

And said: "Erya! ”

And the fierce woman, who was stronger than the eldest girl and almost the same size as Dong Ce, involuntarily responded.

"Go boil some hot water, I'll use it in the shower."

After that, he took the woman into the living room, leaving only the eyes of the eldest girl and the second girl the size of four copper bells looking at each other.

"Who does he think he is? Tell us to do that! ”

The eldest girl and the second girl were angry, but they didn't dare to disobey Dong Ce's orders, so they had to do it honestly.

At this time, it is close to noon, the warm sun of early summer sprinkles down, the hundred-year-old courtyard is quiet, the pear blossoms are fragrant and lush, the sunlight shines through the window lattice, a little dust is flying up and down, the living room seems to be deep and peaceful, those quaint furniture, in the faint light, seems to tell the changes of the times.

The pear blossom in front of the hall blooms and falls.

Such an atmosphere is the kind of emptiness of the soul pursued by the literati and scholars of this era, and the elegance of peace of mind and comfort.

Although Dong Ce was not a literati in this life, he did not lack this keen emotion in his heart.

He walked around the house and let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that Sun Ruhu hadn't sold these furniture yet." ”

The materials of these furniture are not precious, but they are all handed down from the ancestors of the family, and they have been more than a hundred years, so they naturally have feelings.

As if he were talking to himself, the sound of small footsteps sounded, and the woman came over with a cup of tea, placed it on the table, and stood with her hands down.

Dong Ce looked at her and said with a smile: "I don't know your name yet!" ”

"Red Sleeves." The woman glanced at him: "Wei Hongsleeve." ”

"Red Sleeves, good name." Dong Ce said with a smile: "From now on, the green sideburns look at the grass, the red sleeves add fragrance, the dependents are suspicious of the immortals, and the article is Huaguo." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Red Sleeves' eyes: "Whose words are these, so elegant?" Have you read books and read poetry? ”

She seemed to realize that this skeptical tone would anger Dong Ce, and hurriedly said, "The little woman didn't mean that......"

"I know, I don't need to say more." Dong Ce waved his hand: "In the future, I will be a person under the eaves, I don't need to be too restrained, I am too tired." If you call me Erlang, or Brother Dong Ducheng, I will call you Red Sleeves. ”

Red Sleeves replied in a low voice.

Dong Ce picked up the cup on the table and took a sip gently, he couldn't tell what kind of tea this was, but with Sun Ruhu's identity, it wasn't a good tea.

A hint of surprise flashed in Red Sleeves' eyes, and he whispered, "You, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" ”

"Hurt me? How can it be? Dong Ce showed a playful expression in his eyes: "If I die, you will only be worse than now." At least I, Dong Erlang, still have some reputation and ability, and if you follow me, you won't be wronged. ”

Red Sleeves looked at him fixedly, and suddenly tears fell from her eyes, she quickly hid her face and turned around, with an indescribable poignant voice in her voice: "I just hope you can do what you say." ”

There was a puddle of water stains on the ground of the terrazzo bricks, and the door of the house was tightly closed, and a huge bath barrel was placed in the middle.

The tub was more than half a man's height, seven feet long and five feet wide, and filled with water.

Dong Ce took off the tattered clothes on his body and threw them aside, the whole person was immersed in it, and suddenly he felt that a stream of hot air came from the water, and went straight into the pores, and the fatigue up and down his body suddenly disappeared, and he only felt indescribably ironing comfortable. A section of the tub has been built into a pouring slope, leaning on it diagonally, just enough to show a head.

Dong Ce took off the wooden hairpin on his head, his hair was scattered, and the whole person sank into the water, and suddenly felt that all the sounds around him disappeared without a trace, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was a blur in front of him.

"Whew!" After holding it underwater for a full minute, Dong Ce suddenly raised his head and let out a breath of air.

He has always been clean, in his previous life he felt uncomfortable without taking a bath for a day, and in this life, he didn't know how long he hadn't washed before today, although he slipped around the river yesterday, but the problem was that he didn't have the heart to wash in that environment. At this time, the whole body was soaked in hot water, and then I felt refreshed and comfortable.

It took a full two cups of tea to rub the body cleanly, and many places were reddened. It's just that the hair is difficult to wash, both men and women in the Ming season have long hair, in the case of Dong Ce, the hair can almost reach the butterfly bone when it is scattered, so it is naturally difficult to wash.

He leaned against the wall of the barrel and greeted lazily, "Red Sleeves, come in and wash my hair." ”

After a while, there was a low yes from outside.

The sound of footsteps sounded, hesitated at the door, and finally pushed the door in, Dong Ce looked at it, his red sleeves were red, and his eyes were dodgy and he didn't dare to look at him.

She put a soft and spacious bathrobe on the wooden shelf on the side, and arranged the fragrant pancreas, loofah tendons and other things in turn, and then came to Dong Ce's back to wash his hair.

Her technique is very good, gently rubbing Dong Ce's scalp while washing, Dong Ce can't help but let out a comfortable snort.

After washing his hair, Dong Ce said, "There is also a back." ”

"Hmm." She responded softly, slapped fragrant pancreas on the loofah tendons, and rubbed Dong Ce's back.

As a result, he touched the wound on his back, and a piercing pain came, Dong Ce was nothing, but Red Sleeves let out a low exclamation.
