Ni Chu

Zhaoping County is much smaller than many counties Xiang Ye and Mengsu have visited in the past.Fortunately, when Uncle Xiang Liang raised his troops, he responded to the uprising of the Chu army.The county seat has not withstood the baptism of war.People's lives are relatively peaceful.

on the side of the street.Sitting in twos and threes carrying some burdens.Commoners who sell their own crops on the street.Occasionally, one or two shops selling various goods can be seen on both sides of the road.The shops are wide open.But almost every house is deserted.Few people go in to patronize.

Xiang Ye and Mengsu walked side by side on the street.They don't wear armor.Xiang Ye was wearing a snow-white deep coat that ordinary people usually wear; while Meng Su was wearing a small white silk gown on his upper body.Wearing a pair of baggy trousers on the lower body.Although this is considered women's clothing.But it completely covered her bumpy figure.

Chu people are different from Qin people.Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.The people of Qin are considered to have the most aggressive folk customs in Qixiong.It is also the most open.Married women of the Qin people can sit on the street with their breasts bare.In front of men and women all over the street, they took out their milk-filled milk to nurse their children.But Chu people can't.Chu women are very conservative.Many women cover their faces with veils when they go out.Even without covering your face.The clothes on their bodies must also wrap them tightly.

If there is a woman from the state of Chu who dares to nurse children on the street like a woman from the state of Qin.It will definitely be ridiculed as shameless.

Zhaoping used to be in the territory of Chu.The folk customs here still retain the customs of Chu.Most of the women in the market are wrapping themselves tightly.If Mengsu dressed too casually.In the market, it is likely to be regarded as a monster onlookers.It will also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"I said you can only sell this piece of material for seven renminbi. You can only sell it for seven renminbi. What's the matter with you. Could it be that you are begging for a living in Zhaoping County. Do you still want to not listen to the words of the master?" walk forward.A sinister voice came from the side of the road.

Xiang Ye and Mengsu turned their heads and looked towards the side of the road.I saw a long shoulder, broad waist and round waist.A man who was more than eight feet tall was pulling a thin man by his collar with one hand and lifting the thin man up.Spraying obscenities at the skinny man in a froth.

The thin and small man was lifted up in the air by him.He blinked his eyes pitifully.Deliberately want to speak up.But dare not.It looked like a chihuahua being picked up by the melon rind.

"Seven coins for a piece of cloth." The stout man cursed for a while.Maybe it's because it feels a little tiring to carry a person in your hand.Throw the skinny guy to the ground.He reached out to grab the sackcloth in the basket.

The skinny man might have been frightened.Limp on the ground.Trembling all over.He looked at the fat man pitifully.My heart aches for the two pieces of cloth in the burden.But dare not speak out.

The big fat man is also well-behaved.Take the cloth in the burden to your shoulders.He took out a handful of money from his pocket.Counted fourteen.Throw it in front of the skinny man.He said in a low voice, "Hey, that man. This is fourteen dollars. Don't say that your grandpa Erhu bullied you later. He won't give you money if he robs you."

The copper coin fell in front of the thin man.Scattered all over the place.The thin man picked up the money bitterly.Tucked into his arms.He looked pitifully at Erhu who turned around and wanted to leave.

Mengsu saw someone being bullied.Just about to come forward.But Xiang Ye stopped him.Xiang Ye shook his head at her.He murmured towards Erhu.

Follow the direction of Xiang Ye's murmur.Mengsu saw that Erhu who had just turned around was stopped in the middle of the road by a man with a long sword in his arms.

The man holding the sword was wearing a dark suit of starched gray cloth that was somewhat whitish.His eyes looked at Erhu's toes.It seems that he is very interested in his pair of torn straw sandals feet that are treading on a boat.

"Hello." Erhu saw someone standing in front of him.frowned.He shouted unhappily: "You bird man. What are you doing to stop me. Hurry up and get out of the way for me. My father is busy going home and making new clothes for my old lady."

Hearing Erhu's shout.Xiang Ye shook his head and laughed.Dare to feel that this vicious guy is actually a filial son.

"The market price of this kind of cloth is 46 yuan a bolt. You took two bolts of cloth and gave him [-] yuan. In total, you need to pay him another [-] yuan. After the money is paid, I will let you go." The man holding the sword still lowered his head.Erhu's roar didn't affect him at all.

Erhu stretched out his free hand in embarrassment and touched his bosom.Take out the remaining two coins.Shaking his head, he said, "No. I can't give him all the money. I have to ask for money to make clothes for my old lady."

"Then you return the cloth to him." Er Hu's words moved Xiang Ye who was standing beside him a little.But the man holding the sword was unmoved at all.He still stuck there like a wooden stake and said flatly: "There is not enough money. You can't take these cloths away."

The man's attitude angered Erhu.He also often does some bad things on Zhaoping Street on weekdays.Although those bad things are not a big evil.But it also gave him a not-so-good name.Everyone in the city knew he was a rascal.Few people are serious with him.Today I met such a master who doesn't eat salty food.How can I keep him from getting annoyed.

He yelled: "Get out of here." He stretched out his hand to grab the shoulder of the man holding the sword.

A scene that surprised everyone happened.Erhu's hand was about to grab the man's shoulder.The man's hand that was originally in his arms grabbed Erhu's wrist when Erhu's hand touched his shoulder.

After grabbing Erhu's wrist.The man holding the sword twisted his arm.Unexpectedly, he twisted Erhu's arm, which was as thick as a normal human's thigh, and turned it over.

See this scene.Xiang Ye couldn't help saying hello secretly in his heart.It's a good move to leverage strength.To put it lightly, Erhu's ferocious grab was resolved.

After the man holding the sword grabbed Erhu's wrist.Take advantage of the trend and twist.Twist Erhu so that his back is facing him.Immediately afterwards, he raised his foot and kicked Erhu's ass violently.

He was kicked vigorously.Erhu staggered.It fell heavily on the ground like a watermelon dropped from a height.The two pieces of cloth on his shoulders also flew out of his hands.

Erhu was just about to turn over and get up.The man holding the sword hurriedly stepped forward two steps.I saw a silver light flashing from the long sword in his arms.The civilians who stood watching from a distance didn't even see how he drew the sword.The tip of the sword had already reached Erhu's throat.

Unexpectedly, these two tigers are used to being naughty on weekdays.Where did I receive such a useless air.See the man with the sword pointing at him with a long sword.He widened his eyes, stretched his neck towards the long sword and shouted: "Mother, point the sword at me. If you have the ability, you stab me with the sword. If you have the guts, stab me."

The muscles on the face of the man holding the sword twitched quickly.Xiang Ye, who was standing not far away and watching the development of the situation, yelled: "Not good." He rushed up quickly.

Xiang Ye rushed forward.Without any hesitation, he pulled out the long sword from his waist.He slashed towards the long sword in the hand of the man holding the sword.

The long sword in the man's hand was about to stab out.He didn't watch out for a sword coming from the side.surprised.Hastily retreated.Hold the sword in front of you.Staring at Xiang Ye vigilantly, he asked, "Who are you?"

Xiang Ye put the sword into the sheath.He bowed his hands to the man holding the sword and said, "I'm Xiang Ye. Dare I ask your name."

The man holding the sword frowned.He cupped his hands casually towards Xiang Ye and said, "Jing Ao."

Xiang Ye turned his head and glanced at Erhu, who stood up and patted the dust on his body cursingly, and said to Jing Ao: "This Erhu brother bought cloth and also made clothes for his mother. I just watched it for a long time. I am grateful for his filial piety. Although he His behavior is a little rough. But it is not heinous. If the husband kills him, how will his mother live. "

Hearing Xiang Ye's words.Jing Ao was taken aback for a moment.I already regretted the impulse just now in my heart.But he still refused to admit his mistakes.He opened his mouth to distinguish: "He buys and sells by force. Everyone in the world can control it."

"Yes. Yes." Xiang Ye nodded repeatedly.Said to Jing Ao: "Mr. is right. How about this. Isn't he still 46 yuan short of that old man. I will pay for this money. What do you think?"

Jing Ao did not speak.He just looked at Xiang Ye from head to toe in doubt.But Erhu, who was standing behind Xiang Ye, was not happy when he heard this.He jumped in front of Xiang Ye in two steps.He patted his chest and shouted at Jing Ao: "Boy, come and kill if you have the courage. Master is a man. He can rob people. How can he accept charity from others. He can't beat you. At worst, he will die. It's a big game."

"Okay. Then I will help you." Jing Ao narrowed his eyes slightly and flipped the long sword in his hand.It is about to rush towards the two tigers.

"Hey~ hey~ hey. I have something to say." Xiang Ye saw Jing Ao's expression.I knew he wasn't joking.He quickly stood up and stood in front of the two tigers and said, "Let's do this. I will lend 46 yuan to this brother two tigers today. Mr. Jing, don't make things difficult for him. Just pretend that this never happened. Okay."

Xiang Ye originally wanted to say that he would be the host after the matter was resolved.Come and invite Erhu and Jing Ao to the restaurant to cook two dishes.Get another altar of wine and drink until you get drunk.Later, when I thought about it, Erhu was okay under the current situation.This Jing Ao definitely won't give him face.So I had to give up.

Erhu scratched his head.The fat face was wrinkled into a lump.After a while, he said: "Okay. Since this big brother is willing to lend me money, then I will borrow it. Well, in fact, I am also reluctant to part with this life. When I have money in the future, I will definitely pay it back."

Xiang Ye turned around.He smiled at Erhu.He took out a handful of money from his pocket.I don't even count how many there are.All the brains were poured into Erhu's hands.

Erhu ran to the cloth seller.Counted 46 for him.There are more than ten left in hand.He ran back to Xiang Ye with the ten or so money in his hand and said, "Brother, there are more than ten left here."

"Doesn't it cost money to make clothes? Take it." Xiang Ye looked at the money.Said to Erhu.

"That can't be done." Er Hu stared at Xiang Ye and shouted: "I said to borrow 46. I only borrow 46. I don't want any more."
