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

Chapter 790 770 Nine: Tie Niu kisses again

After waking up the next day, Duan Wuji and Tieniu took turns explaining the essentials of cultivation to Chongyangzi and Chongzhenzi, as well as the matters that should be paid attention to when using swords and sticks.

After several days of uninterrupted guidance, the martial arts of the two have been further improved!

On the morning of the fourth day, the owner of the grain and oil store brought the grain that Duan Wuji wanted up the mountain.

When Daoist Liao Chen saw that Duan Wuji and the others had bought them so much food, his whole face was already filled with joy.

The shopkeeper of the grain shop, while moving things in with his fellows, complimented Lao Chen and said, "Master Liao Chen, you are really blessed!

Since you got to know these noble people, you really don't have to worry about food and clothing!

Look at the things they buy for you, they are all refined grains!

Bosses like us are usually reluctant to eat it. It’s good for you to eat this all day long. You are a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation! "

Liao Chen grinned.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!
Shopkeeper, what you said is true!

Since I made these two good friends, I can say something I can be proud of, I really don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Now I am a person who is about to die in the past. A lonely old man like me should have lived in poverty and cold!

Who would have thought!Not only did I not fall into a difficult situation in life, but I was blessed with old age.

Why!It's true that life is impermanent!No one dares to say who will be handed over to what fate in the future! "

The owner of the grain and oil store smiled slightly.

"Master Liaochen, what you said really makes sense.

Things in this world are indeed impermanent, and no one knows where someone will fall in the future. "

The owner of the grain store handed these things to Chen and the others one by one, and after he said hello to Chen, he turned around and went down the mountain.

Seeing that the rice, flour, grain and oil were all there, Liaochen happily said to Chongyangzi: "I said boy, look at how many things your master bought for us! These things are enough for us to eat for two years, no problem!

You two should make good use of these two years to practice martial arts!

If you waste your time, once you lose this opportunity, it will be too late if you regret it in the future. "

After hearing this, Chongyangzi bowed his hands at Master Chen.

"Master, why don't I know the truth you said?

After my master and the others are gone, the burden of life will fall on me alone, after all my little brother is still young!

We can't count on him anytime soon.

After another seven or eight years, he will be done. "

Old Daoist Liaochen nodded.

"Well! What you said is also the truth.

Chongyangzi, it's getting late now, let's hurry up and cook.

After dinner, you two should practice your internal strength early.

Chongyangzi, didn't your master and the others make the clothes in two days?
well!Your master and the others left when they couldn't see us wearing new clothes. It's a pity!

Well, you'd better cook. "

Chongyangzi agreed and went into the house.

Duan Wuji looked at Taoist Priest Chen and said: "Master Liaochen, we brothers and sisters will go home tomorrow morning, you should take good care of yourself.

As for the scene of you wearing new clothes, the three of us won't be able to see it, but it doesn't matter if we see it or not, as long as you have no worries about food and clothing, we can rest assured. "

"Fellow Daoist Duan, my good friend, why are you leaving so soon?

You don't say that you live in my small view for ten or eight days longer. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Master Liaochen, seeing that your food has been brought back, I am relieved.

The three of us have to go home to get some capital, and the three of us still have a big family to support.

To be honest, the three of us depend on this to live our lives!

If you don't go out to earn a couple of dollars, how can our brother survive! "

Daoist Liaochen nodded and smiled.

"What you said is also true. If you are fooling around in this world, how can you leave that yellow and white thing?

Even if you are not going to do business, the poor man will not be able to stop you! "

Lao Chen shouted loudly into the room: "Chongyangzi, let's cook a bigger meal tonight, your teacher and the others should leave tomorrow."

Chongyangzi promised to continue cooking in the room, and after dinner, Duan Wuji and the others went to rest early.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and the others hurriedly ate breakfast, and immediately led the horses down the mountain.

Liaochen took Chongyangzi and Chongzhenzi and sent them down the mountain.

The three of them got on their horses, then looked at Taoist Master Chen and cupped their hands.

"Master Liaochen, you three go back.

As the saying goes, if you send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell.

We're leaving now, let's meet again when we have a chance. "

After finishing speaking, the three of them rode their horses all the way to the northwest, ran straight to the official road leading to Shanxi, and ran down. It was not until the three of them ran out of shadows that Daoist Master Chen led the two young apprentices up the mountain.

Duan Wuji ran forward, and said to Tieniu with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, we are going in after passing your old father-in-law's house?

Shall we still not go in? "

Tie Niu said with a smile: "We have all arrived at the door of their house, so we can't explain it if we don't go in, right?
After a while I bought a few packs of snacks from the previous town, and when we passed by their house, I just gave him the things and took them in.

We won't stay at their house for long, we'll leave in a while! "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother Tieniu, you two are fine.

One said that he came to visit Huashan Mountain, so he came to see his apprentice.

Now go home to get money, and you even stopped by relatives, it seems that the two of you brothers are talking a lot. "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"What can we do about this, who told us to be poor!

You say I have such poor relatives, what can I do.

Passing by their door, I even went in, which can't be justified.

Maybe my old father-in-law is really waiting for me to eat these few bags.

I haven't come here after the new year, and if I don't go in now, it's really hard to explain. "

Several people walked forward for a few miles, and in a small town, Tie Niu bought eight packs of snacks for a few taels of silver and carried them on his back.

Tieniu said with a smile: "Just a few packs of delicious food will make my old father-in-law happy, how simple it is!

The old man may not be able to compete for such a few mouthfuls of delicious food!

As long as the children have him in their hearts, they will be happier than anything else! "

After walking for dozens of miles, the three of them followed the path in the mountains and finally came to the small village called Houjiazhuang.

Tieniu said with a smile: "Let's go! Let me go in with you!
Let's rest here for a while and go! "

Duan Wuji and Chai Shao had no choice but to follow Tieniu into the courtyard!
Just as the three of them tied the horse to a small tree in the yard, the people in the house came out to welcome them when they heard the movement.

When Hou Guantang saw his third son-in-law coming, he was really happy.

"Niu'er! Where did the three of you come from! Hurry up and go into the house!
Old lady!The cow has come to our house! "

With Hou Guantang's shout, Hou Hongsheng's mother and Hou Hongsheng came out of the house to welcome her!

A distinguished guest has come to this house, but this family has been busy. It is making tea and pouring water!

Hou Guantang said to Hou Hongsheng: "Hongsheng! Call your two older sisters over here!
You see, it's almost noon now, so you have to cook something delicious for your brother-in-law and the others!

You go and come back quickly, but don't make me wait in a hurry! "

Hou Hongsheng agreed and turned around and ran out. Tieniu put the few packs of snacks he bought on the kang.

Tieniu smiled and said: "Father, mother! This is my filial piety to you.

We didn't come here after the new year, and our place is too far away from here, so it is quite inconvenient to come here.

I passed by here today, and I stopped by to see you!
Father, mother!Are there any difficulties in life?

Just squeak! "

When Hou Guantang and his wife heard what Tieniu said, they were overjoyed.

"What trouble can our family have!

To be honest, our family is the best in our small mountain village now.

Now our family has money, there is no shortage of food, and there is a lot of money to spend. These days are getting more and more prosperous!

If our family really encountered difficulties, I would have asked Hongsheng to find you.

To tell you the truth, even a hair on your root is thicker than our waist. "

Tie Niu grinned.

"Father-in-law, you think highly of me too. In fact, I don't have much money. I'm just a showman. The outside is bright and the inside is empty."

Hou Guantang laughed and said, "Niuer! Don't lie to me. My two daughters have been to your family. Is there a lot of money in a family like yours? However, the 1 taels of snowflake silver There are still some!"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "There must be 1 taels of silver. If you don't even have 1 taels of silver, then I'm still poor!"

The old man and the son-in-law are chatting here whether they are getting along or not.

Hou Hongsheng led his eldest sister and second sister in.

"Hey! When did Iron Bull come here!"

When Tieniu saw his two sisters-in-law approaching, he quickly stood up.

"Eldest sister, second sister, we just arrived, two sisters, how are you doing?"

"What are we doing, there are many children in the family, and the men in the family have no skills, so it's not bad if we don't go hungry.

It's like your family, where you spend all your time shopping for fine clothes and fine food, and you have a tall horse to travel when you go out. You say you live a very nourishing life! "

Tieniu knew that his two aunts were having fun with him, so he didn't answer them too much.

The two sisters-in-law saw that Tieniu smiled and said nothing, so they went to cook with fun.

It wasn't too long, and a group of children from the two sisters-in-law followed.

There were five or six of these children, and these children were running around in the house. No matter whether they were boys or girls, all of these children were not much different from that mud monkey!

Hou Guantang opened a pack of snacks, and each child gave them a piece.

After several children took some snacks, they became a little quieter.

The time is not too long, and the rice is ready. There are a few large plates of fried bacon, a fried bean, and a shepherd's salad.

Tieniu and the three of them could feel the hard work of farmers from the few dishes they served.

Hou Guantang told the three of them to eat quickly, okay, five or six pairs of small eyes around were staring at the fried meat on the table.

Who can eat it like this!

The three of them had a quick meal and then quit.

None of the three people moved a piece of the big plate of fried meat!

When Tieniu saw Duan Wuji and Chai Shao put down their chopsticks, he looked at the children and said, "These fried meats are all yours, come and eat them quickly!"

How many children care what reason!That's when the swarms rushed up and started grabbing meat to eat.

Hou Guantang looked at his grandsons and granddaughters with a wry smile.

"Look how greedy you are, your third uncle and the others didn't eat any of it! I'll leave it all to you!
Don't you know how to be polite to outsiders? "

"Grandpa, my uncle and the others are here, why do you think we are so polite!

He is a relative of our family, can he be considered an outsider!
Uncle, do you think I am right? "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Then eat it! Uncle, I'm going home!"

"Hey! Uncle, don't leave! You have to give us some money to buy delicious food before you leave!

Just leave like this, you said that we are not at a loss! "

Tie Niu had no choice but to take out a few scattered pieces of silver from his body and hand them over.

Every child together!

The children got the money and ran away happily.

Tie Niu took out two more ingots of ten taels of silver and put them on the table.

"Father-in-law, this is my honor to you, you old man, please put it away!"

When Hou Guantang saw the white silver, his face was already full of joy.

"Rich people are different from poor people! This is 20 taels, so much money, even we mountain people may not be able to earn it for several years!"

As he said that, Hou Guantang hurriedly put away the two ingots of silver.

Tieniu pouted at Chai Shao and Duan Wuji.

"Let's go! Let's hurry up and get on the road!"

Hou Guantang looked at Tieniu and asked, "I say Niu'er! Where are you going!"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "We are going home!

Let's go home and get some money, so we can go out and start a small business. We spend money all day long, so how can we do it if we don't earn two dollars! "

Hou Guantang understood and nodded.

"Well! If this is the case, then you guys go!
However, you have to be careful on the road! "

With that said, the big family sent the three of them out.

The three of them came outside and got on their horses. They rode their horses and ran straight to the official road to the west.

The three of them disappeared, and the family turned around and went back.

The three of them walked on the official road to the west, and rode horses all the way to their hometown.

After more than four days of uninterrupted traveling, the three of them finally arrived at Taiyuan City just before noon that day.

Chai Shao reined in his horse, looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and asked: "I said, two good brothers, you two said, what kind of business are we going to do this time?

How much principal should the three of us bring? "

Tie Niu listened and looked at Duan Wuji.

"Brother, you should make up your mind on this matter!

Both of us brothers listen to you. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Brothers, since we pacified the Northern Han Dynasty and killed so many Turkic people, I think it would be too risky for us to go to that Turkic country to sell horses.

The risk of doing business is too high, and it is not worth it in the end.

In my opinion, we buddies should go to the Tupan country to sell Chinese caterpillar fungus!
As for how much money to bring, it depends on what you think, I don't care if it's more or less! "

Chai Shao glanced at Tieniu and said, "Brother Tieniu, how about we each bring 66 gold bricks?"

Tie Niu grinned.

"I said Brother Chai, why did you pick such a number!"

"Don't you even know this? As the saying goes, Liuliu Dashun."

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Brother Chai, let's prepare as you said.

Our buddies have plenty of money, so it’s not appropriate to take less money when going out.

As the saying goes, it’s hard to make money without capital! "

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and his brothers and said, "You two tell me, when will we leave?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"What's the rush? Let's stay at home for another ten or eight days, let's talk about it!
The wife and children are at home!
No matter what, you have to give them some affection, let's go! "

Chai Shao smiled wryly after hearing this.

"You two are well.

This ran to my hometown, and this is my home again.

But it’s hard for me, brother, I can only sleep with my arms around my thighs at night. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"I said Brother Chai, why am I so sour listening to you!

It hasn't been touched anywhere, so why did it overturn the cool jar again!

How about this, our two brothers are waiting for you at home, if you want to leave anytime, you can go to our two brothers again!
You see, you are satisfied with this! "
