The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 103: One hundred three

Duan Wuji and Tieniu returned to their residence and immediately started practicing martial arts. The two of them spent more than ten days at Erxian Village in Bali. Apart from eating and drinking, I just seized the time to practice, and never wasted any time during this period.

At noon that day, Shan Xiongxin invited two people to a banquet again. After the meal, Duan Wuji looked at Shan Xiongxin and said, "Brother Shan, we have been here for more than ten days, and we are a little homesick. Let's go back, lest parents worry about it at home."

After hearing this, Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "My dear brothers, why are you in such a hurry? Stay a little longer! There's nothing wrong at home now when you go back. It doesn't matter where you live."

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Brother Shan, that's not the case. We haven't been home for so long. The parents at home must be very worried. We'd better leave tomorrow! Otherwise, we won't feel at ease living here!"

Shan Xiongxin nodded.

"Well, brother, what you said has some truth, then fine! I will see you off tomorrow."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were very happy to hear that, they returned to their residence very happily, and immediately started practicing martial arts.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu packed their bags early and prepared to go on the road. As soon as they had finished packing, Shan Xiongxin hurried in from the outside. Shan Xiongxin looked at Duan Wuji and Tie Niu and said: "You two gentlemen Brother, since you are determined to leave, brother, I will not stop you. Brother has prepared a thin banquet today, so you can go on your way after eating.

Come, bring in the banquet. "

The servant at home immediately brought in the food box after hearing this, Shan Xiongxin personally helped the servant put the food on the table, Shan Xiongxin sat down and ate something with the two of them, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu stood up.

"Brother Shan, we've had our fill of food. If there's nothing else to do, we two brothers will be on our way."

Shan Xiongxin laughed and said, "Brothers, why are you in a hurry?

Come, bring me the presents I prepared for the two virtuous brothers. "

After listening to the single axis and single side, two big burdens were brought in from the outside immediately.

Duan Wuji saw that the burden was heavy enough, Duan Wuji asked with a smile: "Brother Shan, what is in this burden? Why does it look so heavy?"

Shan Xiongxin laughed and said: "It's nothing, just a few bolts of cloth, and there are 3000 taels of silver in each bag, you can take it back to subsidize your family."

Duan Wuji immediately became unhappy when he heard this.

"Brother, what are you doing? Both of our families are not poor now. Brother Shan, we can ask for some other things as appropriate. You should keep this money for yourself.

We cannot ask for this silver. "

Tie Niu also said after hearing this: "Brother Shan, who do you think we are? We come to you, eat your food, drink your food, and before we leave, we brothers take such a big bag of money from you?

Then will you let us brothers come to your place in the future?Brother Shan, you have become the chief executive of the green forest, don't you plan to associate with our buddies in the future? "

Shan Xiongxin smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"You two virtuous brothers, you don't know something. Do you know how much you have helped me? Wang Yong and Wang Bodang's martial arts are very powerful. We both have the same martial arts and strength, but the king Yong is known as Yong Saburo, he is a famous desperado, he is never afraid of going all out, if we two are really eager to compete, I am afraid I will lose more and win less.

Coupled with Xie Yingdeng's sharp shooter, there is no chance for me to win.Thanks to the actions of the two virtuous brothers, I was able to win the position of the leader of the green forest.

Do you know how much gold is in this total pot?Even if you pay 3 taels to 5 taels of silver, you may not be able to buy it.

Today you helped me Dan Tong win the position of chief executive officer. If I Tong didn't pay a single penny, how would you call me Dan Tong to gain a foothold in the Jianghu? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Shan, haven't we reached this point in our friendship? Otherwise, we two brothers really wouldn't come.

Brother Shan, you should take back the money. "

When the two sides were arguing and arguing, the single axis saw that the two sides were arguing hard, so he drove two steps away and came over.

"Outside the two members, two virtuous brothers, can you listen to me for a few words?"

The three of them stopped talking quickly when they saw each other, and Shan Xiongxin looked at Shan Zhou'er and said, "Brother Zhui'er, do you have any good ideas? Tell me and listen."

Shan Zhou'er took two steps forward and said: "Second members, two brothers, I understand what you said just now, and what you said seems to have some truth, do you think this is good? Let's make a compromise. method, everyone takes care of each other's face, do you think this will work?"

Shan Xiongxin laughed and said, "Single axis, what kind of compromise can you tell me?"

Shanxiu listened and smiled and said: "Outside of the two members, I think everyone will give in a little bit. I don't think it is necessary to give 3000 taels of silver. They definitely don't want to give it to so many Wuji brothers. Let's give them 1000 taels of silver each. Don't worry." Don't move the things I see, how about you all?"

Shan Xiongxin nodded helplessly.

"Well, that's all I have to do. You two virtuous brothers, brother, I've made a concession, so don't insist on it."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Single shaft and single side opened the bundle, counted out 2000 taels of silver from the two jackets and put them on the table, and then the two of them helped to tie the bundle in front of the saddle.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu bid farewell to Shan Xiongxin, and immediately left Erxianzhuang and went straight to their hometown.

Along the way, the two beat Ma Rufei in a hurry, and the two chatted gossipingly.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother Wuji, it's really worth it for us to go out this time. It seems that this big brother eats, drinks, and takes care of us. Before leaving, he gave us so much money. Enough for us to spend several years.

Hey, Brother Wuji, it seems that I am right to follow you, and I never suffer from the light and light! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Tieniu, stop praising me, how can I have such great abilities? Besides, you are a brother, and it is reasonable for me to listen to you more in the future."

Tie Niu shook his head.

"Brother Wuji, what you said is wrong, you listen to me? Do I have an idea! It's okay, it's okay, brother, stop teasing me."

When the sun was falling to the west, the two rushed to Duanjiaji. Duan Wuji and Tie Niu each reined in their horses. Duan Wuji looked at Tie Niu and said, "Brother Tie Niu, let's break up here. Brother, go home If there is nothing else to do in the future, brother, you should practice diligently! Don't be idle after eating every day!

Well, that's all for today, see you another day. "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Brother, don't worry, brother, I know about this. Brother, let's see you another day."

After finishing speaking, the two of them hit their horses and ran straight to the house.

Duan Wuji rode his horse back home, first led the horse to the courtyard of the cowshed and tied it to the trough, then walked straight home with a big stick, a sword on his back and a bag.

After entering the room, Duan Yanqing was sitting in the room drinking tea, when Duan Yanqing saw Duan Wuji walking in, he quickly shouted to the back room: "Master, Wuji is back."

With this voice, Liu Caihua immediately led Wang Jinhua out of the back room.Duan Changsheng also ran in from the study.

When the family met each other, Liu Caihua took Duan Wuji's hand and said, "Damn, you've gotten fat these days, your eldest brother Shan's family is much better off than ours."

Duan Wuji replied casually after listening to the words: "Of course, if the family has a big business, can the conditions of our family be better than ours? However, the conditions of our family are not much different."

Duan Yanqing nodded after listening.

"Yes, the days of lack of food and drink in the past are gone. Although our family's life is not very rich now, I think it is about the same.

Ordinary families are not as good as ours now, including your third grandfather's family. "

Duan Wuji joyfully put the bundle in his hand on the table, then looked at the willow cauliflower and said with a smile: "Mother, look what good things I brought to you all?"

With that said, Duan Wuji opened the bag.

Immediately, more than a dozen beautiful brocade horses were revealed.

When Liu Caihua saw the cola, Liu Caihua looked at the flower cloth and said to Duan Wuji: "Bitch, there are so many flower cloths! Let you and your brother marry a bride and use it, mother will let you put it away."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, what are you thinking about? My brother's wife is still being raised by my mother's natal family, and there is not even a shadow, so what are you waiting for?

What are you doing with such fine cloth?When the time comes, it will be distressed if it is broken, so let’s pull it down. I think we will each make two sets of clothes first and wear them first. We will buy them when they are gone. Anyway, our family is not short of money now. "

Duan Wuji moved the floral cloth away, and immediately revealed a pile of silver underneath, Duan Wuji looked at Duan Yanqing and said with a smile: "Father, this is 1000 taels of silver, you can put it away first, when I spend it, I will pay you back." you want."

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "Wuji, you really dare to ask for it, you dare to bring it to our house no matter what brother Shan gives you?"

Duan Wuji smiled and did not speak.

Duan Changsheng smiled and said, "Damn, you are really capable. After going out for a few days, you got back so much money! It's amazing!"

Duan Yanqing put away the silver with a smile, and then said to Liucaihua: "My mother, put away all these cloths and go cook. Wuji is back today, let's cook something he likes."

Willow cauliflower nodded.

"Well, do you still need to ask for this?"

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Yanqing and said: "Father, our family has the conditions now, sometime we can find some time to make some decent jewelry for my mother and the others. My mother is so old, and the bracelets she wears are still two The copper one, how rustic does it look?"

Duan Yanqing nodded after listening.

"Well, you and dad want to go together, isn't our family poor in the past, we didn't eat the last meal, how could we have the money to buy some jewelry for your mother?

Now that the conditions are good, it's time to buy some decent jewelry for your mother, Wuji, don't worry about it, I'll go to the city to order it in a few days. "

Willow cauliflower was greatly moved.

"Damn, at least my mother didn't love you for nothing, now I know that I care about my mother."

After finishing speaking, Liu Caihua happily hugged the calico and led Wang Jinhua out.

Not long after, a scent wafted in from the kitchen.After a while, Liu Caihua and Wang Jinhua brought up the delicious food.

After dinner, the family chatted together for a while, and Duan Wuji stood up.

"Father, mother, brother, please rest, I'm going back to my room."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji walked out of the main room and returned to his west wing room. After entering the room, Duan Wuji immediately stepped onto his small kang and began to meditate cross-legged.
