Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 30
Several people were shocked when they heard someone shouting for help.

Xu Liang was the first to react, and hurriedly called the boss to stop the car, turned over and got out of the car, walking lightly, and rushed into the woods after a few swayings.

Xin Ziqiu couldn't hold back his curiosity, he didn't care about his dangling left arm, he got out of the car with one leg, and wanted to run to the woods.

In fact, under the blessing of the spirit energy for that hour, the wound under the bandage on his thigh has completely healed, and the spliced ​​broken bone has also grown back, but he still pretends that the injury is not healed yet.

After all, it was too unbelievable to grow a broken bone in a day or two, and he didn't want to attract attention.

Jia Xian saw him running out of the car, and hurriedly shouted:

"Xiaoqiu, come back quickly, your injury is still not healed!"

Xin Ziqiu didn't turn his head, and said:

"Don't worry, old man, I'll go and find out! There are three generals here."

Jia Xian couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly: After all, he's a young man, and he can't rest for a moment, but this kid's heroism and courage, and his ability to manage injustices, he admires a lot.

He wanted to stay in the car and take care of his granddaughter, but he dared not leave.

The owner of the car was trembling with fright when he heard someone shouting for help. Not only was he not afraid when he saw those two people, but they also ran one after the other into the woods.

He asked timidly:

"Old man, this..."

Jia Xian knew that he was afraid of attracting bandits and endangering his own life, so he said with a smile:
"It's okay, that's Xu Liang, the white-browed hero from Kaifeng Mansion, I'll do my best to keep you safe."

……

Xin Ziqiu and Xu Liang ran to the woods following the sound, and saw a strange sight.

I saw a group of ragged men, some with sticks and some with sickles, all running for their lives, shouting for help.

Some of them still had bruises around the corners of their eyes and cheeks, which were swollen and high.

Behind these people, chasing a young scholar with a square scarf covering his head and holding a dagger in his hand, while running, he was still yelling: "Stop the thief!"

Behind the scholar, an old man and a young man followed from a distance, with one hand on their hips, out of breath from running, and kept calling out from behind.

Xin Ziqiu was happy, there are so many new things under the sun. I used to only hear about thieves robbing scholars in opera storytelling, but it was the first time I saw scholars chasing thieves away.

Seeing someone approaching, these men who were being chased seemed like people against the current who had grasped a life-saving straw, ran over desperately, rushed to Xu Liang and Xin Ziqiu, and shouted for help.

It was the first time Xu Liang saw this scene for many years, he smiled and stretched out his hands to stop them in front of him.

The scholar also stopped in his tracks, seeing Xu Liang's surprisingly ugly face, he was taken aback for a moment, then looked him up and down, seeing that he was wearing an official uniform, he handed the dagger to his left hand, dusted off his body, He bowed solemnly and said:

"Su Shi was born late, and met the official servant."

Xu Liang nodded, and was about to ask a question, when Xin Ziqiu shouted:
"What did you say? Your name is Su Shi?"

The scholar said seriously:

"Exactly, if a man does not change his name when he is going, he does not change his surname when he sits down. This is Su Shi, whose name is Zizhan. I would like to ask you two names of high surnames?"

Xin Ziqiu did not expect to meet this great writer who would become famous all over the world in this remote village, and replied with a smile:

"It's easy to say, my name is Xin Ziqiu, and this is the third-rank guard with a sword in Kaifeng Mansion, the white-browed hero Xu Liang."

Su Shi bowed slightly:

"I met Xu Huwei, Mr. Xin Xiaolang."

He pointed at these men and said:

"These thieves cut business and were taught a lesson by Xiaosheng. Please guard Xu to take them away and convict them."

Those men who were chased by Su Shi, when they heard that they were stopped by people from Kaifeng Mansion, they were already frightened out of their wits, their waists were numb and their legs were numb, and they couldn't stand still.

At this time, when they heard Su Shi's words, they all knelt down and begged for mercy, crying and making ugly appearances.

Someone said loudly:

"I'm wronged! Please forgive me, my lord. The young ones are not strong people. It's because of the bad harvest this year and the plague that they can't afford to eat. So I got crazy and wanted to do some business without capital. Met this guy... this gentleman, we really haven't done anything bad!"

Su Shi snorted coldly:
"Haven't done anything bad, but you have the heart to do it, how dare you say you were wronged?"

Xin Ziqiu, however, looked at these people in ragged clothes, sallow and emaciated, and couldn't help but feel pity.

I thought to myself: It is already miserable enough to be a thief to do this.

I only heard Xu Liang say:

"I'm on official business, so I can't stay for a long time, but this place is under the jurisdiction of Xiangfu County, I can write a note, asking Mr. Su Lang to escort these people to the county government office, and let the county magistrate dispose of them. I don't know what you want?"

Without hesitation, Su Shi straightened his waist and said, "It's my duty!"

Although he was dressed as a scholar, he didn't look frail at all. His figure was slightly fat, but not bloated.There is a natural heroic spirit between the brows, and the pointing edge in the eyes, it can be seen that he is a very ambitious young man.

At this time, the old and the young who followed him far behind had already arrived, all sweating profusely and panting.

Su Shi pointed to the two and introduced:
"This is my father, with the word 'Xun' taboo, and the other is my younger brother Su Zhe, with the word Ziyou."

Xin Ziqiu looked at the three fathers and sons, good guy, the famous "Three Sus" in the history of Chinese literature are all here.

He asked curiously:

"Are you guys going to Bianliang City?"

Su Shi replied:

"Exactly, my father and son came from Mount Meishan in Bashu. This time, we are going to participate in the Spring Festival held in the capital next year. We are afraid that it will be inconvenient to travel in winter, so we come to Bianliang City in advance, spend the winter here, and wait for the big exam next spring."

Although Xin Ziqiu was not a liberal arts student, he loved reading poems by Su Dongpo, Xin Jiaxuan and others since he was a child.

And he knew that although this great writer had a rough life and was displaced, he could turn his suffering into the pursuit of delicious food, and he was also a man of temperament who loved life.

Now that I meet by chance, I feel that it is hard to find an inexplicable bosom friend after meeting. I feel that this person speaks and does things very well with his temper, so I want to make friends with him.

He had studied history and knew that these three people would surely succeed in the exam, so he did what he liked and congratulated them in advance:
"Xin Ziqiu wishes the three of you nominated for the gold list this time, Jinshi and the first place. After the three of you arrive at the capital, the boy will be the host, and invite the three of you to taste Bianliang's delicacies!"

He is no longer a penniless poor ghost.

He had inquired with Jia Xian just now, not to mention the gold ingots weighing several jins, but with hundreds of silver bills alone, he could buy a big house with a housekeeper and servants in Bianliang City.

Xin Ziqiu has never been a stingy person, now that he has money in his pocket, he can speak with confidence.

This sentence just hit Su Shi's heart. This is a foodie through and through, and he looks for local delicacies wherever he goes.

He is the one who invented the word "glutton".

This time, his father and son were robbed because he saw the big and fragrant pine cones in the forest, so he couldn't help moving his index finger. He took his father and younger brother all the way to the depths of the forest to pick pine cones and pine resin. of.

Hearing what Xin Ziqiu said, he immediately became interested and asked:
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang. I heard that Kaifeng mansion's barrel chicken and peanut cake are the best in the Central Plains. They are delicious. I will try them early. I will be bothering you in the future. I don't know where I can find you?"

Xin Ziqiu was amused, this person is really an out-and-out gourmet, and he is really blunt, very much like himself, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Don't be polite, come to Kaifeng mansion, find the three generals, and you will find me. If you want to eat then, just tell me."

At this time, Xu Liang had already taken out the rope from the treasure bag, tied up the trembling Taoist thieves beside him, took out another fire ticket, wrote a few words on it with charcoal pen, and folded it. up.

Xin Ziqiu glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and saw what he wrote: "It's enough to beat a board."

Can't help but smile knowingly, it turns out that Bai Yanmei is also a kind-hearted person.

Indeed, these thieves are not habitual offenders at first glance, and most of them haven't eaten for a few days, which is pitiful enough.

Xu Liang handed the fire ticket to Su Shi, told him a few words, and then left.

Xin Ziqiu was reluctant to let go, and he wanted to chat with Su Shi for a few more words, but he also knew that Xu Liang was anxious, so he said while walking:
"Brother Su, you must remember to come to me!"
