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

Chapter 740 720 Nine: Chivalry, the two escort the father and daughter home

To be honest, the eyes of the father and daughter were starving. When they saw the big pancakes and cooked meat on the table, they wanted to say a few words of kindness. That’s fine, but their hands involuntarily went straight to grab the meat on the plate. !

Duan Wuji smiled.

"You two must be starving too, so don't be too polite, then hurry up and eat!
Let's chat again when you are full! "

The father and daughter are not too polite, just take the big pancake, roll up the meat and eat it!

This eating speed is on a par with Tie Niu and the others!

The time is not too long, and other dishes are coming up one after another.

When the father and daughter saw it, ho!That's a lot for these two!

With so many things, can the two of them eat it?
Finally, two large bowls of dumplings were also served.

Tie Niu said to the fellow: "I said, buddy, you go to find two plates, and pick another one catty for each of us from the basins of the two of us!
Why don't we brothers eat less! "

The guy nodded.

"Well! That's fine!"

The buddy found two plates, picked out a catty of dumplings from each of the two large plates, and placed them in front of the father and daughter!
The old man looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "You two benefactors, if it is still the same, then we two will eat it!
well!To say the least, we were both famished.

When I saw this delicious food, I couldn't stop the car more or less! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Then you can eat whatever you want!
Let me tell you!See no!

You can eat whatever is on the table, it would be best for the four of us to eat him clean!Let's eat it up before leaving the table!
Both of us are big eaters!

If you don't grab food and drink, I'm afraid you will lose yours in a while. "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu started eating frantically.

The speed at which two people eat is simply unmatched by anyone!

Before the father and daughter had finished eating, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu had already finished their big plate of dumplings.

Then, the two frantically swept up other things on the table!

The two didn't put down their chopsticks until everything on the table was cleaned up!

The people next to me saw it, ho!These two boys can really eat!

Just now there was a large table of things, but in the blink of an eye, so many things were gone.

These two people can really eat!This is simply two rice buckets!

It seems that these two people are called rice buckets, there is nothing wrong with that!

When the father and daughter had finished eating, Tieniu asked with a smile: "You two, are you full? If not, can we have some more?"

The old man grinned.

"Thank you two benefactors. To be honest, our parents are really full today."

Duan Wuji smiled.

"I said who are the two of you! Why don't you bring two coins with you when you go out!
How can a person who is away from home do without money! "

The old man listened, but did not speak, and the tears fell first.

"You two benefactors! Alas! It's too much to say!

Now that we are both full, let me tell you about it!
Our parents are from Handan Prefecture, Hebei Province.

The old man, my surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Qingshan. This is my only daughter, and her name is Bai Huiying.

The two of us are the surnames of the Dawang Zhuanger in the Handan Mansion, and our ancestors have been honest farmers for generations!

Ordinarily, our family's life is not bad enough, the family has [-] acres of land, and we still have a cow. Although we said that we are not very rich, we still have no big problem with food and clothing.

Didn't there be bandits a few years ago!My calf was snatched by bandits!

Once my wife got angry, she passed away within a few months.

To bury my wife, I once borrowed five taels of silver from Wang Yuanwai of our village, but I haven’t paid him back for several years. In recent years, the debt has been revolving to 100 taels of silver.

I owe him so much money, what do you think I will pay him back!

Seeing that we didn't pay him, the king took away my land at a low price.

However, those lands were not enough for him, and he still owed him 15 taels of silver.

That Wang Yuanwai is too insignificant, he has taken a fancy to my daughter again, and he plans to let me buy her as his concubine.

That Wang Yuanwai is almost 15 this year, [-] years older than me!

Be his concubine?Can that be any good?After a few years, when that old guy kicks his legs, won't my daughter be sold out!
If he had been younger, he would have been more or less the same!

However, he now has four wives in his family, even if he becomes a concubine, he will suffer!

well!We poor people have always been destined to suffer!

If you want to change your destiny, it's really harder than climbing to the sky! "

Duan Wuji and the two finally understood what was going on.

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "The king's extortion is against the laws of our Great Tang Kingdom, so why don't you sue him in the yamen!"

"Oh! My uncle, you don't know! The county magistrate is his nephew, and the magistrate is his nephew.

You said that we are poor people, what good can we do if we enter that yamen?

Wasn't it said that he was a troublemaker when he went there, and he beat the board on the spot?

If there is a place to sue, our father and daughter will not be in exile.

well!As a result, it is difficult for us to vote for a family now, and it is difficult for us to flee if we have a country!

It is said that our Tang Dynasty is clear and bright, but why is this world so chaotic!
There really is no way for us poor people to survive wherever we go! "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "I said you guys escaped from your hometown, where are you planning to go?"

The old man burst into tears.

"Our father and daughter plan to come to this place to join her uncle, who knows when her uncle's family will move away!

As for where he went, the neighbors in the street don't know either!

To be honest, our father and daughter were really desperate.

Let's survive in this place, but there is really no penny here!

Let's go back now!But Wang Yuanwai is not easy to provoke, which makes us in a dilemma! "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, you two should go back with us!
After we went back, we went to Wang Yuanwai to discuss the reasoning, saying that he might not change his mind at that time.

Of course, if he just doesn't change his mind, we have ways to make him change his mind. "

The old man nodded helplessly.

"Oh! There is no way, that's the only way.

If you can still live in your hometown, who wants to leave your hometown! "

The old man looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "You two benefactors, where are you two from?

The two benefactors have your surnames! "

Tie Niu laughed and said: "We are from Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province, we are two brothers, our surname is Duan.

Don't worry, old man, you can't help us with such a small matter. If we brothers take action, such a small matter can still be resolved.

If such a small matter can't be solved, then it's not too shameful!

alright!Let's go to rest first! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and Tieniu turned around and went to rest!The guy in the store also arranged two nice rooms for the father and daughter!

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early, and so did the Bai father and daughter.

Duan Wuji ordered something to eat, and the four of them ate around the table, Duan Wuji called the shopkeeper over.

"Shopkeeper, settle the score for us!"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Your store money is two taels of silver, and the meal price is one tael or two taels of silver.

The fodder money for horses is four taels of silver, so the total is four taels of silver. "

Duan Wuji took out four liang of silver from his body and put it on the table.

Then, Duan Wuji and Tieniu pulled out their horses, they got on their horses outside the store, and led the father and daughter all the way north, heading straight to Handan Mansion in Hebei.

These two people are walking, can they get together?
After walking for a short time, the father and daughter were exhausted and panting, out of breath.

Duan Wuji frowned when he saw it!

"I said this old man, the speed you two are walking is too slow! How long will it take to get back to your hometown!

How about it!Why don't you ride horses, and let's walk. "

The white old man shook his head.

"Then how can we do that? We ride your horses but let you walk. We scared our father and daughter to death and we dare not do that!

Besides, both of us, father and daughter, don't know how to ride a horse. We've grown up so much, how can we know how to ride a horse? "

When Duan Wuji heard it, he had no other choice!
Tie Niu thought for a while and said: "Hey! How about this! It's okay for the four of us to ride these two horses. We will ride in front, and you father and daughter will ride behind the horse and hug our waists!

This way we can go faster! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Brother Tie Niu, this bad idea you came up with is really good! However, we have agreed in advance that the girl can ride a horse with you. Brother, if I ride a horse with a girl, I am afraid that people will see it. What a joke!"

Tieniu listened and winked.

"I said brother, when did you learn to be prudish, this pretense is really annoying!"

To be honest, the father and daughter were exhausted from walking with the horses just now, and they nodded in agreement when they heard the idea of ​​Tieniu.

The white old man sat behind Duan Wuji, and the girl got on the horse and sat behind Tie Niu.

The father and daughter hugged Duan Wuji and Tieniu tightly, and they shouted loudly: "You two benefactors, we have hugged each other now, hurry up and hurry up!"

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu kicked the horse stool, the two horses rushed forward rapidly, both of them are the best horses in thousands of miles, they run extremely fast.

The old white-headed father and daughter only felt that their ears were buzzing, and they were so frightened that they dared not open their eyes!

After a long time, the father and daughter slowly opened their eyes.

The trees on both sides of the road swished and fell backwards. When the two of them saw it, the speed of the horse must have been too fast.

This place is only more than 200 miles away from the Handan Mansion. If you walk, it will take two days!

But riding on a horse is different. The speed of this horse is really too fast. Before noon, it has already passed a hundred and sixty-seven miles and ten miles.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu also love their horses!I usually ride alone, but now there are two people sitting on it, can this horse not be strenuous!
Seeing that it was almost noon, the two quickly found an inn and stopped.

The two people led the horse into the shop, and Duan Wuji shouted loudly to the clerk in the shop: "Man, let's feed our horse with good grass and food first!"

The clerk in the store quickly led the two horses into the trough to feed them, and then ran over again.

"I'm talking about the four guest officers, are you working at the top or staying in the hotel?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "We are in a hurry, so we are naturally on top!"

"Then you four want something to eat! We have everything in this small shop!"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "I said buddy, we are in a hurry now.

No matter what it is, you just need to get it for us, we are not afraid of spending more money.

After eating, we were still in a hurry to hurry. "

"Hmm! If that's the case, I might as well cut up two large plates of cooked meat for you, and then serve you a few large pancakes.

These things are all ready-made, and we will come up in a short while! "

"Well! Well then! Then we will listen to you, then give us these things!"

"How many pancakes do you want? How many catties of cooked meat do you want?"

"You said that we are top-notch, can we ask for more things? Why don't you give us fifteen flatbreads, twenty catties of cooked meat.

As for the soup, you can serve two bowls to each of us.

The few of us are not picky about food, egg soup is also fine, and three delicacies soup is also fine. "

The guy in the store was shocked when he heard this.

My heart said: You want so many things, but you still don’t want more!There are so many things, have the four of you eaten?

No, I have to stare at them for a while to see how they finish eating these things.

Seeing that several people asked for so many things, the guy hurried to the back hall.

In a short time, fifteen sheets of pancakes and twenty catties of cooked meat were served.

Tie Niu smiled and said to the father and daughter of the old white man: "You two must not be polite, let's eat this food casually.

Leng Leng God full, let's continue on the road. "

None of the four were polite, they took the big pancakes, rolled the meat and ate it like crazy.

The buddy was stunned when he saw the four people eating.

Heart said: how long have these people not eaten, how can they eat so much!

The time is not too long, and the food on the table is gone!

Then the clerk brought out several big bowls of soup, which were bowls of egg soup. After several people finished drinking, Duan Wuji said to the clerk: "Okay, let us settle the score!"

The clerk said with a smile: "Guest officer, these expenses are just one tael."

Duan Wuji took out a small piece of silver and handed it over.

"This is a tael of silver, you keep it!"

The man put away the piece of silver, and then led out the horses of the two men.

"Guest officer, let's go! You are welcome to visit the shop again next time!"

The two led the horses to the outside of the store, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got on the horses, and then, the old white man and his daughter sat down immediately.

As soon as the two of them kicked the horse stool, the four continued to run north and ran down!
