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

Chapter 27 Chapter 27

Duan Wuji and Tieniu rode fast all the way to their hometown, and the last part of the road was uneventful. When the sun was getting dark, the two arrived at Duanjiaji.

Duan Wuji smiled at Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, why don't we go home today, put the money back on our bodies first, and then go back to the third grandfather's house to graze the cows, what do you think?"

Tieniu laughed loudly after hearing this: "Brother, after returning home, let's rest for two days, and let's go again in three days. You see, the weather is getting colder. Now that we have money, we should buy two new ones." clothes."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded. "Well, all right. See you in three days, then."

After finishing speaking, the two of them rode their horses and went straight to their respective homes.

Duan Wuji mobilized his horse and ran straight to Duan's village.

After returning home, Duan Wuji first tied the war horse in the barn, fed it with good grass and materials, and then walked straight towards his home.

I saw that the lights had just been lit, and the family of three was eating around the table. Duan Yanqing raised his head and saw his youngest son came back, so he quickly gave up his seat.

"Wuji is back? It's been almost two months since you left, please sit down, sit down and eat something."

Liucaihua saw it and said with a smile: "I'm going to make some, we don't have enough food for each of them."

Liucaihua gave her husband a blank look and said, "It's not like you don't know that our youngest son eats a lot."

Duan Yanqing nodded.

"Why don't I know? Let's do it. Make something delicious, and we will follow suit."

Liucaihua smiled and nodded.

Duan Changsheng grabbed Duan Wuji's hand and said, "Bitch, why did you come back today! Brother misses you to death. Come back and stay for a few more days."

Duan Wuji looked at his brother and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you dislike me for eating too much?"

Duan Changsheng smiled awkwardly after hearing this: "Hey, eat a lot to be strong, how can you earn money if you don't have the strength? How can you protect our family if you don't have the strength? Brother, I understand now, in fact, you are stronger than my brother and me, without you for us With the support of the family, our family will definitely be bullied by others, and it will be different with you."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Wuji, when we have strength, we are not allowed to run amok in the village and bully our neighbors!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Father, don't worry, you don't know what kind of person I am?"

Duan Yanqing smiled and nodded. "Well, Dad knows."

Before long, Liu Caihua walked in with a stack of flatbread and two plates of fried bacon.

The whole family had a big meal around the table, and Duan Changsheng said while eating, "I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time, and I have tasted it badly for a while."

Duan Yanqing glanced at the eldest son and said with a smile: "Then eat more."

Liucaihua laughed and said, "Eat, eat. Bacon and white noodles are all gone today, and if you don't eat it, you won't be able to touch it."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Duan Yanqing: "Father, it's gone, let's go buy some tomorrow."

Duan Yanqing smiled wryly after hearing this: "Wuji, how much money do you think our family has? It cost a lot to build the cowshed, and it's not like you don't know it. You said that once there is a year when there is no harvest, then we The family must drink the northwest wind! You are too old, don't you know how to save yourself?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Then we won't buy less, you see this new grain will come down soon, the price must be cheap."

"But no matter how cheap it is, you have to have money! Besides, in three or five years, your brother will marry a married woman. Can our family save some money in advance!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "With your stinginess, who is willing to come to our house?"

Duan Yanqing stared angrily. "You little bastard has many reasons, okay, okay, let's buy it tomorrow, and let you go with Changsheng, dad is still reading at home."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Okay, brother, let's go tomorrow, and let's hang out in this section of the house."

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "Okay, I've been bored for the past few days, it would be nice if I could take a walk around the Duanjiaji."

Duan Wuji put down the bowl and chopsticks, then smiled at Liucaihua. "Mom, I have something good to tell you."

"What's the matter? Just tell me? Could it be that your cow gave birth to a calf?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "The cows he raises are giving birth to puppies now? Do you know how long it takes for a cow to give birth to a calf? It takes nearly a year! Oh, you old woman doesn't know anything. Understand."

Duan Wuji not only smiled wryly when he saw his father and mother blushing.

After hearing this, Duan Changsheng yelled: "Father, mother, stop arguing and let Wuji talk about something good."

The two of them fell silent after hearing this.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Isn't it busy in autumn recently? The cow has been loaned out for the past 30 days. I have nothing to do with Tie Niu. A while ago, Tie Niu and I took some money. Work, earn some money."

Liucaihua laughed and said, "Hey, master, look, we two boys know how to make money, now it's great, bastard, how much have you earned, show it to your mother."

Duan Wuji opened the bag, revealing a pile of white money, and the whole family looked dumbfounded.

After a long time, Duan Yanqing asked: "Wuji, tell me the truth, did you steal or rob the pile of money? Don't tell lies, otherwise I won't be able to forgive you!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Is it earned? I'm not a robber or a thief. Where can I go to steal it?"

"Tell me, what are you doing to make so much money? Even if you work hard for 20 years, you won't be able to make so much money!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "We went to Guandaogou to play, and met a group of strong men who blocked the magistrate, Tieniu and I rescued them, and escorted the magistrate back to Hejian Mansion to take up his post. Thank you for giving us so much money, and even giving us a horse for each of us, if you don’t believe me, brother Tie Niu is here, you can ask him.”

Duan Yanqing laughed when he heard this.

"What's the use of me asking him? Don't I believe my son's words?"

After finishing speaking, Duan Yanqing took out a piece of silver from the bag and threw it to Duan Wuji.

"Take it, let's go buy rice and noodles tomorrow.

Duan Wuji took the silver and immediately put it in his arms.

Duan Yanqing packed up the rest of the money in a bag, and took it into the back room. After a while, Duan Yanqing came out of the back room with a smile.

Duan Yanqing looked at the willow cauliflower and said with a smile: "Master, now our family has money again, more than last time, from now on we won't have to live in poverty and suffering.

Who wouldn't spend this money!Why don't I go to the market with them tomorrow, and I'll go to the market too. "

Liucaihua laughed and said, "Boss, you should be nervous again when you have money. Why don't we go to the market tomorrow and our whole family can go."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "No way, our family is also rich now, you said that the family doesn't even have a housekeeper, is that okay?
Don't worry, I will make you new clothes tomorrow first, so that you can also look beautiful. "

Liu Caihua laughed and said, "Master, you keep your word, don't forget."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, I can't forget, I'm thinking about it?"

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji stepped out of the room.

Duan Wuji went back to the yard of the barn where he lived, took out the sword from the house, and practiced the sword in the yard first.

While practicing, Duan Wuji thought, is the big black guy I met today strong enough, and I managed to not knock him down today, alas, it looks like I haven't mastered my martial arts yet!

Duan Wuji practiced his sword quickly while thinking about the shortcomings he showed in the battle with the big black man today.

In a short period of time, Duan Wuji achieved the level of the unity of man and sword, the man is the sword, and the sword is the man. After an hour, Duan Wuji retracted his sword move, wiped the sweat from his face, and then gently put the sword away. on the ground.

Then, he turned around and practiced boxing and kicking. He has practiced this set of Wu Qin Xi boxing to the point of proficiency.

It was not until midnight that Duan Wuji took the sword and went back to the house to rest.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji got up early, first practiced boxing and kicking kung fu in the courtyard for a while, and then began to practice sword, until the sun rose, Duan Wuji went back to the courtyard for dinner.

After the meal, the father and son happily walked straight to Duanjiaji.

When they arrived at Duanjiaji, the three of them went straight to the tailor shop. The owner of the shop was sitting idle in the room.

The three who came in immediately stood up.

"Oh, isn't this the boss Duan from Duanjiazhuang? Why, is this small shop making clothes again today?"

The owner of this tailor shop is full of enthusiasm.

Duan Yanqing laughed and said, "What? The boss still knows me? Is your memory good?"

The boss laughed and said: "Boss Duan, you are a big customer, how can I forget? Sit down."

Duan Wuji said to the owner of the tailor shop: "Take out your fabrics, we will make a few sets of clothes."

"Okay, you wait."

After saying that, the owner of the shop immediately ran into the back room and brought out more than twenty pieces of cloth from the inside.

Duan Wuji pointed to a piece of pink fabric and said: "Use this piece of material to make a dress for my mother."

The boss smiled and nodded. "You still have good eyesight! This is the best fabric in the shop."

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing said: "Boss, do you know the size of the chick?"

The boss laughed and said, "Last year's size is still in stock, don't worry about that!"

Duan Yanqing pointed to a piece of blue cloth and said, "Boss, use this cloth to make me a suit too!"

"Okay, you don't need to measure your size."

Duan Changsheng picked out a piece of sky-blue fabric, and the boss re-measured him.

Finally, Duan Wuji picked two pieces of fabric and placed them on the counter.

"Boss, use these two pieces of fabric to make two clothes for me."

While measuring him, the owner of the tailor shop said, "Is this wolf-fighting hero growing fast enough? Why, everyone else has one body, but you have two bodies? Your father spoils you, right?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this and said: "You don't know, I herd cattle and practice martial arts, I'm worthless clothes compared to them."

Coming out of the tailor shop, Duan Wuji led them straight to the rice store, and when they came to the store, the owner of the rice store immediately recognized them.

"Boss Duan, what do you want today?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "First come four catties of flour, one hundred catties of millet, and two catties of sesame oil. Send them to us later."

When the store owner heard that it was a big deal, he immediately agreed with a smile.

"Don't worry, it will be delivered on time at noon today."

Duan Wuji paid the money, took out a small piece of silver and handed it to Duan Changsheng.

"Brother, go buy some pens and paper, this money is enough."

Duan Changsheng was overjoyed when he saw him.

"Brother, are you still thinking about brother? Come on, I'll go right away."

As he said that, Duan Changsheng immediately ran away without a trace.

Duan Wuji turned around and said to Duan Yanqing: "Father, let's go, let's go to the pig market to buy a pig. It's much cheaper than buying meat."

When the two came to the pig market, Duan Wuji immediately took a fancy to a big black pig.

"Father, we want it. I guess it weighs more than 200 catties."

"Hey, a pig seller? How much is this pig?"

The old man who bought the pig said with a smile: "Boss, at least give me one tael and a half of silver for this pig."

"Okay, this is silver."

Duan Wuji paid the silver and said to the old man who sold the pig: "Boss, don't worry, give it to me and send it home."

The pig seller asked: "Hey, I said where are you from?"

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing quickly replied: "We belong to Duanjiazhuang."

"Oh, it's not far, so let me push it for you."

As he said that, the old man walked straight to Duan's house pushing the pig in a cart.
