Chapter 889: Legend
The carriage slowly drove into Pei's house, and the energetic Pei Erniang was smiling, and the three daughters admired this heroine.
The thief deceived the thief and wanted to fly away, leaving the camp for thirty miles, and at noon Erniang took the opportunity to take out a croton and crush it and stir it in the rice.
In less than an hour, the thief had a big diarrhea in his head and abdomen, and in just a few miles, he went out more than a dozen times. It's not good at night, and it's easy to get up repeatedly. On the second day, Erniang added half a grain, and as a result, a strong man with strong martial arts was dying of tossing, and he couldn't walk.
The thief is still apologetic in his heart, he thinks that women follow men, isn't it just greedy for happiness on the pillow? It's good now, I can't make her happy because of the diarrhea caused by the water and soil, and I can't make her happy, so I don't want to go.
However, Erniang has been more and more attentive and gentle since he got sick, helping him walk during the day, and helping him to bed at night.
The thief was deeply moved, and said with tears in his eyes: "Although you and I have the name of husband and wife, we are not husband and wife. I have suffered such a nasty and disgusting disease, and not only do you not dislike it, but you love me even more, and I will not be able to repay your kindness if I die. ”
"Don't say that." Erniang comforted herself with kind words, which made the thief even more moved.
After walking for three or four days, it was not far from the village, and I found an empty ancient temple to live in. During the meal, Erniang put another croton, which made the thief's head dizzy, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.
The thief said weakly: "I can't do it, you have to help me get some medicine, otherwise I will have to die in front of me." ”
Erniang said: "Don't worry, I'm familiar with this area, and I'll go buy medicine tomorrow." ”
Before dawn the next day, Erniang returned home in the name of buying medicine. At that time, Dr. Pei got up and opened the door and bumped into his wife who had fallen from the sky. Overjoyed, he asked, "How the hell did you escape?" ”
When the family heard the movement, they all ran out, and surrounded Erniang and asked questions. Erniang said a few words simply, everyone guessed that she must have lost her body, of course, it is a good thing to come back alive, who is still accountant in the troubled times?
Doctor Pei was furious, even a man couldn't stand it, and asked, "That thief is nearby, wait for me to go and kill him, shame on you." ”
Erniang said: "No hurry. I still have a place for him. You hurry to the bottom of the bridge with your people and secretly get the package back, being careful not to let the thieves find out. ”
"Good!" Dr. Pei has always been obedient to his wife, resisted the urge to take revenge, and immediately left with his two brothers.
Several concubines looked complicated, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped, in their opinion, Erniang lost her body, although she was pitiful, she would not want to be superior everywhere in the future. is valued by the whole family, and thinks what status a woman who has lost her virginity has.
Erniang glanced at their sympathetic and inevitably gloating expressions, knowing that once the crisis passed, the concubine would definitely talk about this. How can you fall into people's hands for the rest of your life? I was too lazy to talk nonsense, so I took a pair of ginseng Ling Baizhu powder, and went to the temple to eat it for the thief, and the diarrhea quickly improved by three-tenths. Rested for two days.
After recovering a little, the thief said, "Hurry up and dig out the things, so that you don't have to sleep a lot at night." ”
"Dig the earth. I don't have to use a hoe, wait for me to buy one. "Erniang went home in the name of buying a hoe again, and the thief trusted her a hundred times more without the slightest suspicion.
It turned out that Erniang was worried that he would be tossed to death, so she gave medicine to eat, and when Dr. Pei came back with two thousand taels of silver, Erniang gave an order, and then changed into clean clothes, sat at home, and no longer had to go around the thief.
The sound of gongs and drums sounded in the village, and the Pei family all went out to catch the thief who was badly injured, escorted him to the open space in the village, and shouted: "Folks, you have all come out to see the thief." ”
The surviving people ran out one after another, and saw Dr. Pei whipping the thief hanging from the tree, and at the same time angrily said, "You took my lady captive and raped her!" I'm going to have to kill you with my own hands. ”
The thief gritted his teeth and sneered: "I have arrested a lot of women, which one is your wife?" ”
Dr. Pei said, "Pei Erniang, who came with you, is my wife. ”
The thief was surprised: "She clearly said that she saw her husband killed, why is she still there?" Oops, are those words lying to me? ”
At this time, the thief reacted, disappointed and angry, and all thoughts were lost. But the people in the village were even angrier than him, and they came forward and scratched and gnawed their teeth, eager to eat him alive.
The thief couldn't stand it and shouted, "I haven't touched her, don't hit the wrong person, I haven't killed anyone in your village, oops! ”
Dr. Pei carried a stick, motioned the big guy to take a few steps back, slammed the stick on the thief's head, and scolded: "You wicked person, you slept with her for more than ten nights, and you still said that you haven't touched her?" Lao Tzu will break your limbs first. ”
The thief hurriedly shouted, "I really didn't touch her, don't believe me." ”
"I'm too lazy to listen." Dr. Pei picked up the stick and was about to hit again.
However, because the people in the village didn't know what the relationship between their women and this thief was, they all wanted to hear the details, and they all said: "It's not too late for you to wait for him to recruit him." ”
In this way, Dr. Pei put down his stick, and everyone was silent, listening to him.
At this point, the thief only wanted a good time, and maybe there was a glimmer of life again, and he hurriedly said: "I did see her born at the beginning, and I wanted to take her as my wife, and I cherished her very much." The first night, she put a rag under her, saying that her period was coming, and I was naturally reluctant to touch her.
stayed up for two nights, and planned to sleep with her, but I didn't want her place to be poisoned, and I couldn't touch her. On the fourth night, I had dysentery, and I had to have diarrhea countless times a day and a night, and I didn't even have the spirit to walk and talk, so how could I have the strength to do that? So these days, although I have been sleeping with her, I have not touched her. If you don't believe her, go and ask her. ”
Pei Jiayu heard this and shouted: "Yes, yes, it's strange that she had to get a broken moon cloth that day, and what about Croton, it turned out that she had already had a plan." It seems that he was not humiliated, thank God. ”
If it were another woman, the people in the village would definitely not believe it, but it was Chen Ping, a scheming woman, who listened to the thief's justification with her own eyes, and the whole story was reasonable, and everyone believed it.
One of them, whose daughter-in-law was also taken captive, hurriedly asked, "How many of the women who were taken that day were kept the festival and how many died?" ”
The thief was also sincere, and said: "Except for this one, it seems that they have all been slept by." By the way, the knife arsenic was turned out from several women, saying that he was going to commit suicide, but he didn't think that it was so comfortable to take turns doing that with such a strong man, and none of them planned to die. ”
After listening to this, the villagers who asked knew that their wives had been molested and didn't say anything, but they were still in a mess, and they couldn't say anything one by one, and their faces were as angry as dirt.
When someone wanted to kill him, the thief shouted, "Everyone, I have two thousand taels of silver, so I should pay compensation and spare my life." ”
They asked, "Where is the money?" ”
The thief said, "It's under a bridge, I'll take you out." ”
Doctor Pei deliberately said angrily: "Don't listen to him deceive, maybe there are many thieves nearby." Besides, it was all the ill-gotten wealth that he had robbed, and we could not ask for it, but today we must remove the evil for all the people. ”
Some people who hated the thieves immediately echoed it, and without Dr. Pei making a move, you stepped forward and punched me, and soon beat the thief to death. Of course, there are a few greedy people who go to fish for 2,000 taels of silver from the people in the village under the stars, which is naturally like fishing for the moon in the water.
Since then, Erniang's deeds have become a well-known legend in the neighborhood, and everyone praises her for not only having so many clever schemes, but also deceiving the thief back, and explaining her heart through the mouth of the thief, which is really a strange story.
If you kill the thief halfway and go back to the village alone, saying that I didn't lose my life to the thief, not to mention that no one will believe it, even Dr. Pei has to have a thorn in his heart, and if he falls into the hands of the thief, it is like being able to fish out a white cloth from a vat of dye?
Xu Hao admires Pei Erniang very much, but it's a pity that she is already old, otherwise she will definitely become a rare talent, and it is okay to be alone.
However, he still can't bear to love talents, and he also has a friendship with Dr. Pei, Dr. Pei and his wife joined Xiangyu's female doctor after Xu Hao's introduction, and Pei Erniang naturally became the hall master in Hangzhou.
After staying in Pei's house for ten days, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and in early October, Xu Hao returned to Jinling with his three daughters.
There is a helper around Xu Wen, who is nicknamed Qu Youzui, originally from Anhui, and came to Beijing last year to ask for a living, but somehow climbed up to Xu Wen.
Qu Youzui's friends are also outsiders, because the people around Xu Wen are very taboo about Xu Hao's deeds, and they talk about Xu Wen as the eldest grandson of the British princess all day long, as if Xu Wen was born to Xu Qingtang.
In their mouths, Xu Hao is a gentleman who spends all day drinking and marrying a bunch of beautiful women, and their circle is still small, and they don't know the depths, nor do they know what to do.
Seeing that the New Year is coming, these people are used to spending money, and everyone has no savings, and a poor Xiucai named Shi Conghuang said to his friend Wu Qiguang: "Lao Qu doesn't know where to get the silver, and this winter will be smooth and smooth New Year." Just the two of us, picking salt bags in the snow, one step at a time, the family members are all looking at food and drink, what can we do? ”
Wu Qiguang said: "I was at the entrance of Xufu Street in the inner city yesterday, and I saw Lao Qu coming out of Xufu, full of spring breeze, thinking that I had borrowed silver from Uncle Xu. ”
"That's it." Shi Conghuang was envious in his heart and smacked his lips, "I heard that Xu Sanye spends money like flowing water, and he is a righteous person, Lao Qu is really lucky." ”
Wu Qiguang said: "Why don't you spend a table of wine, invite Xu Sanye here, and then invite Lao Qu to help say a good word or two, let's also take this big ship, and use the means we flatter and tout, will we be short of money to spend?" ”
"Good calculation!" Shi Conghuang also had this intention, and the two immediately hit it off, and suddenly remembered and said: "It's not good for Uncle Xu to know about this matter, so it has to be done secretly." (To be continued......)
