Chapter 9: Returning to Home
This winter, it's a lot colder than ever.
It rarely snows in Bashu, and it is often rare to see it once in a few years.
But this winter, the third snow has already begun. Moreover, the snow is very heavy. The snow on the ground was up to three inches thick, a depth that had never been possible before.
Yang Lao Wu is a native of Yangjia Village, and now, he is wearing a hat, wearing a thin shirt, and is carrying a load of firewood, walking on the sheep intestine trail to the poor county.
Even though his feet in straw sandals crunched into the mud and his toes were red from the cold, he still had a big smile on his face.
The snow is good, and when it snows, the poor counties need more firewood, and naturally, firewood has become a hot commodity, and the price is expensive.
Just when he was elated, three big men suddenly burst out from the side of the road: "Old man, robbery!"
Yang Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, blinked, and felt a little incredible. I really didn't expect that he, Yang Lao Wu, would be robbed one day.
He turned around, and there were two big men blocking the road behind him.
He snapped his fingers, and there were five of them.
God, I didn't expect that he Yang Lao Wu could be robbed by five people in this life.
He asked tentatively, "What did you say?"
One of the men at the head said viciously: "Robbery!"
One word at a time, very clear.
Yang Lao Wu pointed at himself: "You want to rob Lao Tzu?"
"Don't talk nonsense, hand over the money!"
Yang Lao Wu was carrying two pennies in his arms, which was not a fee for entering the city. There is no entry fee in the poor county, and there is not even a single officer or soldier to guard the city gate, that is, a few people are sent to close the gate at night, and a few people are sent to open the door in the morning.
Poor counties are not poor, and there are no thatched houses in the county, all of which are small brick buildings. It's just that because the king of Sichuan couldn't collect enough taxes, in a fit of anger, he changed the name of this county to a poor county.
According to the locals on weekdays, Lao Tzu does not rely on the protection of your officers and soldiers, and gives a gross tax. Of course, it was given later, after all, the king of Sichuan also wanted face, but the tax money given was the first in the nearby counties.
Therefore, this money is Yang Lao Wu's tea money. He was going to treat himself to a hot cup of tea in the warm teahouse of the city and chat with a few old brothers.
These two pennies are very important, so he is not going to give them.
"No, I don't have any money, do you think I'm rich. Yang Lao Wu said with a stiff neck.
Several robbers who wandered here glanced at each other, and they really felt that Yang Lao Wu, who only wore such a little in winter, had no money. Therefore, the leader cried out, "In that case, give me firewood." ”
These two large bundles of firewood are still very valuable in this winter, at least, they can give their brothers a meal.
They hadn't eaten for two days, and they were so hungry that they wouldn't have robbed the poor old man.
It snowed again in the sky, and it fell in large swaths of air.
The robbers took one look at the snow and cursed in their hearts: "Damn the snow." ”
If it weren't for this snow, they wouldn't have fallen here.
Yang Lao Wu glanced at the snow and sighed, this snow is bigger, and this firewood is more valuable. Thinking, he let go of his burden. Thinking that he had confessed, the robber pulled out the bull-eared knife at his waist and threatened: "Hurry up, don't play tricks!"
Yang Lao Wu stretched, his bones clicked, and then he put his hand into the firewood pile and took out a three-foot long sword.
The sword was rudimentary, with only the body and hilt, and it looked like two pieces of wood sandwiched between a piece of iron, and then a piece of wood was wrapped around the piece.
However, several robbers were dumbfounded. They looked at the knife in their hands, which was more than a foot long, and looked at the sword in Yang Laowu's hand, which was more than three feet long.
The robbers were a little discouraged, but they quickly regained their courage. Yang Lao Wu did have a sword, but he was too old, his body was thin, and his beard and hair were all white, and even if he had a sword, he was no match for them.
What's more, there are five of them.
"Up!"
The five of them pounced together......
"Oops! Tap, tap... Oh... Ahhh......h
"Don't pull my belt, don't pull my belt......"
"Help, I'm out of breath, I can't breathe......"
"Painful ......"
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm bleeding!"
The five men were stacked together, like pigs, and they were torn off their belts by Yang Lao Wu without resistance, tied one of them, overturned one of them, and exposed the ones below, and tied another one......
In the woods, Cai Wei was already dumbfounded.
Just now, she wanted to go and help, but was stopped by Ghost Cry. Ghost Cry looked at this scene in front of him, and it was a little funny. When I returned to my hometown, I saw this scene again.
He still remembers when he was ten years old, a few rogue robbers arrived here and planned to kidnap a few children, but they were tied up by a few children and sold to the county government.
It has been nearly half a month since they left White Dragon Valley, and for half a month, they have been catching up with the stars and the moon all the way, and finally rushed back to Yang An's hometown today.
"Let's go!"
Brother Ghost said, walking outside, Cai Wei and the big black horse hurriedly followed.
At this moment, Yang Lao Wu was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing today.
Five men in the prime of life, at a glance, have a lot of strength, in the county office, can sell for thirty or forty taels of silver. The county government has no prison cells for them to live in, and the iron ore in the back mountains is their destination for the rest of their lives.
What's more, he opened the meat. Unexpectedly, when I am old, I can really fight the enemy with swordsmanship once, and it is still a dozen five. Although these robbers are a little worse in strength and worse in weapons, they are a dozen or five, and they can be taken out to brag to those old brothers who haven't opened meat yet.
Suddenly, his ears moved, and he raised his head vigilantly: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Fifth Uncle, are you still dead?"
Devil Cry lifted his hat, revealing his long, narrow eyes. In the entire poor county, who else can it be that there are such a pair of evil eyes, except for the little rabbit cub of Yang An in Yangjia Village?
"Holy shit, it's you kid!"
Yang Lao Wu laughed, his excitement was indescribable. His father is the pride of their Yangjia Village, not only that, but he also married the phoenix of Lijia Village, which made the men, women and children of Lijia Village angry.
And An Boy was even more competitive, and his force value stabilized his peers, beating the group of boys in Lijia Village so much that they couldn't raise their heads.
What the?
There is a Li Yu who is as famous as him?
What are you kidding, can Li Yu's kid beat their An boy, he is not an opponent at all?
Study?
Reading is good for a fart, just be literate.
Can you be an official by studying?
Being an official has a fart use, can you have the majesty of being a hero?
Even if you are more majestic than a hero and make more money than a hero, can you still be chic and have a good reputation while being majestic and profitable?
Several villages around their poor counties started by being heroes, and they didn't want to do such a promising career as being a hero, but went to study.
As for being handsome, handsome has a fart deterrent, how good An boy looks, those eyes are evil, at a glance, my heart is cold. Before he made a move, the other party was afraid of three points.
It is because of this face that everyone in the village thinks that this kid's talent for martial arts must be higher than his father, and his father's face is not good-looking, like a little white face, then Li Yu looks a little similar to his father, and he is liked by the girls like his father.
"tnd, you're ugly again, it's so good!" Yang Lao Wu smiled sincerely, and saw Cai Wei behind the ghost crying: "Yo, Ge Lao Tzudi, and kidnapped a woman to come back to be a daughter-in-law, you stinky boy is really angry with us!"
All of a sudden, Cai Wei's cheeks flushed. Ghost Cry explained: "It's not a daughter-in-law, it's a sister I recognize." ”
"Oh~~ Girl!" Yang Lao Wu had a smile on his face, meaningful: "I understand." ”
