Concubine

Chapter 473 Shower
Long Wang, the boss, saw that although Yang Tashan was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his body was already very strong, especially after hearing from the boss of the boat that he knew martial arts, he was able to beat five or six of them by himself, and he was impressed.

From Xi'an Mansion to Qingyang Mansion, the distance is not close, and there are often raids by bandits, or victims looting food.The guys in their team are strong and strong, but few of them know how to fight. With this young man, they have an extra insurance.

Long Wang accepted it happily, and also followed the rules of the ship's boss, double the wages, including food and lodging, [-] Wen per month.

The next morning, ready to go.Long Wang brought a young woman here. She was about [-] years old, with a melon-shaped face, willow eyebrows flying slantingly, and her eyes were bright and hot, like a ball of fire. A round fan, followed by a carriage with a covered carriage, and the shelves behind the carriage were full of boxes and sundries.

As soon as Long Wang, the boss, introduced her, only then did he know that this young daughter-in-law was named Tian Nizi, who was the newly married wife of Long Wang's successor. She had finished visiting her family in Xi'an Mansion, and was going back to her home in Qingyang Mansion with the motorcade.

Long Wang himself wanted to lead the carriage, and let Yang Tashan be in charge of his wife's carriage, and follow in the middle of the convoy.

Yang Tashan also tied his forensic evidence investigation box to the carriage.

Leaving Xi'an Mansion, the road was safe and sound, but this is not the main official road, so the road is not smooth, and now it is the summer rainstorm season, the road is full of potholes and peat.

Since the carriage needs to transport grain, none of the guys accompanying the carriage can be used as carriages, and follow them on foot, of course, except for Tian Nizi, the wife of the boss Longwang, who has her own special carriage.

Yang Tashan led Tian Nizi's carriage and followed the convoy along the muddy official road. After a few days, Yang Tashan's cloth shoes and trousers were covered with mud.Simply ignore it, and step on the mire and puddles.

It's noon that day, although there are a few thin clouds, but they are always wandering around the sun, but they don't block the sun.The sun was so hot that people were sweating.Yang Tashan simply took off his short shirt and walked away shirtless.

Tian Nizi was covered by the car shed, so she didn't feel the sun. It was the hottest day in July. Seeing Yang Tashan sweating profusely, she shouted, "Hey! Are you hot?"

Yang Tashan turned his head and smiled, showing two neat rows of white teeth, then turned his head back, thinking: You are talking nonsense.

Tian Nizi said again: "Look at how hot you are, drink some water." She took a gourd filled with water from the shed and handed it out.

Yang Tashan was really thirsty, thanked him, took a sip, paused, took a sip, then swallowed it in one gulp, turned around and said: "Sister-in-law of the boss, this is not water, but wine!"

ah!Tian Nizi looked back, there were several gourds in the car shed, she didn't look at them carefully just now, she might have picked them up wrongly, she laughed so hard that she threw herself back and forth.

Yang Tashan took another sip: "Yeah! Not bad, good wine. Drinking some wine today is more comfortable than drinking water." He tilted his neck and drank half of the gourd in one gulp.It made Tian Nizi giggle coquettishly.

After drinking half of the gourd wine, Yang Tashan suddenly felt that the pores of his whole body were opened, and he was extremely comfortable. He couldn't help leading the carriage forward, while leaning his neck and singing:

Looking up at the clouds in the sky,
I miss my sister and tears fall down my chest.

Open your eyes to see my sister go,
I don't know when we will meet again.

Tian Nizi put her fan in front of her forehead, snorted, and asked, "You can also sing folk songs?"

Yang Tashan was also a little strange, yes, how could I sing folk songs?Who did you learn from?And this folk song seems to be quite sad, what's going on?Can't remember.

Tian Nizi smiled and said: "Hey, listening to your song, does it mean that your sister-in-law doesn't want you anymore? It makes people feel very sad."

Yang Tashan smiled and thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure out why he could sing folk songs. Perhaps, this folk song was related to his own life experience. If he wanted to find any clues from it, he had to find out where the song came from. Nizi knows.He asked: "Sister-in-law, can you tell where my song is from?"

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no television, no tape recorder, and no radio.The language is different hundreds of miles apart, so Tian Nizi couldn't tell it, of course, she thought about it and said, "I've never heard this tune before, but it's very nice, you can sing me two more tunes, No?—But don't sing such a sad song, it's hard to listen to."

"Okay!" Although Yang Tashan was a little disappointed, he quickly forgot when he got drunk, and sang:
The same sky, one land, one village each,
My sister is alive and giving birth again.

Which one of the hundred family names,
So as not to call out the wrong person.

Tian Nizi smiled slightly, covered her cheeks with the round fan, cleared her throat, straightened her chest and sang along:

My sister doesn't know my brother and I don't believe it.
Ask my brother to look up the surnames of hundreds of families.

Spring plowing has my surname,

My name is in the world book.

The tune of Tian Nizi's folk songs is different from that of Yang Tashan, but the folk songs pay attention to an instant response and casual responses, as long as they rhyme and hit the theme.

Yang Tashan turned his head and smiled: "Sister-in-law of the boss, so you can sing folk songs too. It's really nice!"

"Of course," Tian Nizi slapped her fan a few times, and then sang:

The abyss is deep to the bottom,
There is tidal mud at the foot of the deep pool.

Your brother has a wife under his feet,
It's no use singing with you.

Yang Tashan grinned foolishly, picked up the wine gourd and drank a few more sips, cleared his throat, sighed, and sang:

I worry about sitting, I worry about standing,
Walk to the river and watch the water flow.

The river flows and returns,
Brother, I have no wife to travel around

Tian Nizi giggled coquettishly again, covering her mouth with a round fan, secretly looking at Yang Tashan's broad and strong back with her eyes full of spring.

Singing along the way, they didn't feel tired at all. When the sun went down, they arrived at a small market town and stayed in an inn.

It was very hard for the guys to drive all the way under the scorching sun.When I arrived at the inn, I finished my meal in twos and twos, washed up and went to bed.

Yang Tashan saw that one and two of them were so tired that they were stumbling around, he was a little strange, but he didn't feel so tired, thinking that it must have something to do with his own martial arts.

The meals of these guys are very simple. Each person has a large bowl of brown rice, surrounded by a large pot of vegetable soup, and only two eggs have been beaten in it. More than a dozen guys scooped them into the bowl, and even the shreds of eggs can't be seen.

Along the way, Yang Tashan has gotten used to the life of a commoner in rough clothes.After eating in a hurry, after the guys all went to the backyard to take a cold shower, then went back to the room and lay down on the bunk, Yang Tashan then slowly carried a bucket of clean water by himself and went to the backyard to take a shower.

Although the sun has set, the ravine is still so hot, like a steamer.If you don't take a shower, you won't be able to sleep if your body is sticky.

Yang Tashan threw it on the ground aside, took off the short blade on his arm and threw it on the pile of clothes, scooped up cold water with a gourd ladle and splashed it from the top of his head to his body. Cool.

Just as he was humming a folk song, he was so happy, he heard a chuckle behind him, startled him, turned around and saw a young woman standing a few meters away, holding a round fan in her hand. Zui looked at him and smiled, but it was Tian Nizi.

Yang Tashan hurriedly used the gourd ladle to block it. He was in a hurry and hit the gourd ladle. The pain caused him to bend over and jump twice. Enduring the pain, he said, "Hey! You... What are you doing in the backyard? You ...Didn't you see someone taking a shower?"

"Hee hee, it's hot, I can't sleep, come out for a walk - you are chasing you, just leave me alone! Hee hee..."

"You... you..., I... I've finished washing and I'm going to get dressed..."

Tian Nizi glanced at Yang Tashan's strong body and the place blocked by the gourd scoop, and smiled, "You wear yours, and I didn't stop you, hehe..."

Judging by her posture, she didn't want to leave at all.

snort!When Yang Tashan became ruthless, you can watch it if you want, anyway, he is not at a disadvantage, and his muscles can be regarded as eye-catching.Yang Tashan turned his back, grabbed the clothes next to him, and was about to put them on when he heard Tian Nizi shout: "Hey! Your clothes are dirty, don't wear them, change them, I will wash them for you. "

"No... no need, anyway, if you walk on the muddy ground tomorrow, it will still be dirty!"

"You are a real person!" Tian Nizi laughed, "Your clothes will get dirty, so why don't you wear them for a year! You wait, I'll get you clean clothes! Wait~!" I heard the small footsteps going away.

Yang Tashan looked back slowly, Tian Nizi had already gone to get the clothes, he was a little hesitant, should he wait for her to come back, he always felt that if he didn't appreciate her kindness, it would be too abrupt for others.

While hesitating, Tian Nizi ran back like a gust of wind.In his hand was a set of clean denim blouses.Yang Tashan hurriedly turned his back, still using the gourd ladle to block it.

Tian Nizi ran behind Yang Tashan and patted him on the shoulder: "Here, change it quickly... Hee hee, young man, he is as shy as a girl, hee hee hee"

Yang Tashan hurriedly took the clothes backhanded with his left hand, thinking to put on the clothes quickly, if his boss Longwang saw it, or if the guys saw it and passed it to Longwang's ears, he would not be able to eat it and walk around.

The left hand is holding the clothes, and the right hand is holding the gourd ladle to block the vitals. How can you wear clothes with one hand.Yang Tashan gritted his teeth, threw the gourd scoop into the bucket, pulled out his pants, and put them on his legs in a panic. He accidentally slipped his feet into a pair of trouser legs, and suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall, Tian Nizi hehe Smiling and holding him up.

Yang Tashan could feel it, and panicked even more, he hastily pulled out his leg, and managed to slip it into the other trouser leg.

Only then did Tian Nizi let him go, and slapped him a few times with the round fan in her hand, and said, "Look at you, why panic, I'm afraid I'll eat you! I just took a shower, and my back is sweating again." He stretched out his plain hand and wiped it gently for him.

Yang Tashan felt even more flustered.

At this moment, I heard horses neighing and people shouting in the front yard, and it was a mess. Someone shouted: "We only need food, and whoever dares to move, I will kill him!"

Not good, strong thieves are here to grab food!Yang Tashan said: "Find a place to hide!" Tian Nizi turned pale with fright, nodded and hid behind a pile of firewood.

Yang Tashan didn't care about putting on his clothes, grabbed his dagger on top of the clothes, and rushed to the front yard naked.

In the courtyard of the inn, a dozen or so guys were squatting on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, and were pointed at by seven or eight masked men holding swords.

These guys eat hard work, they are not bodyguards, and their employers don't give them money to work hard, so they don't have the obligation to work hard to protect food. When they encounter robbers, their lives are the most important thing.

Long Wang is a small partner in the grain transportation business. If the grain is lost, not only will he lose money, but he will also have to pay for other partners. Therefore, although he is afraid, he still kneels on the ground and begs .

The robbers paid no attention to him. A dozen or so robbers were harnessing the grain carts to the horses, and wanted to pull them away after they were harnessed. Yang Tashan and his team had a dozen grain carts, and they couldn't be more busy all of a sudden. Come.

Yang Tashan put the dagger behind his back and shouted loudly: "Stop it! Broad daylight... What, dare to rob, are you not afraid of the king's law?"

A burly man came up, holding a ghost-head knife in his hand, and said with a sneer, "Knock melon seeds and a bedbug will come out, I'll chop you with a knife!" He swung the knife as if to chop.

Ordinary robbers, if they don't encounter desperate resistance, generally won't hurt people's lives, unlike the thieves who sit on the mountain and become king.So he just pretended to frighten Yang Tashan, and it was over.Yang Tashan didn't understand, seeing the opponent swung the knife, he didn't even think about it, a cold light flashed, and a sword flew over, knocking the opponent's ghost head knife away, and then kicked out, hitting the burly man's belly.

The big man let out a muffled grunt, and fell limp to the ground, throwing the ghost knife aside.

The other party made a move, and the boss was loaded, so these robbers could not help but stop desperately, and rushed towards Yang Tashan, yelling and brandishing their swords.

These robbers don't know much about martial arts, that is, they are extremely hungry and gather together to block the road and rob.Although Yang Tashan's martial arts has not reached the level of a first-class master, he is more than enough to deal with these thieves. He swung his short sword repeatedly, pointing east and west, and in a moment, the robbers' swords were knocked away, and they lay down. one place.

Seeing Yang Tashan showing his supernatural power and knocking down the dozen or so robbers, those guys became more courageous, stood up, grabbed the swords, and restrained the robbers.

Long Wang was even more happy, holding Yang Tashan's hand, as if he was grateful for something.

At this moment, I heard Tian Nizi cheering, ran out from the back of the house, rushed to Yang Tashan, grabbed his hand, looked up and down, left and right: "You...you are not injured, it was so dangerous just now, You...why are you working so hard, if you lose something, you will lose it, what should you do if you make a mistake!"

It turned out that Tian Nizi was worried that something would happen to Yang Tashan, so she boldly went to the front yard to peek.Just now Yang Tashan defeated the robbers, all in her eyes.

Seeing that her concern came from the heart, Yang Tashan was a little moved, and smiled: "These thieves are vulnerable and can't hurt me. I'm a bodyguard. If I don't take action when I meet a thieves, then what kind of bodyguard are you?" .”

Only then did the shopkeeper and the guys of the inn dare to come out to help tie up the robbers.He also sent people to the town to report to Li Zheng, and sent Min Zhuang to take the robbers away.

Long Wang was originally a farmer. After making some money in a small business, he invested in shares and formed a partnership with others to form a grain transportation team, specializing in grain trafficking.This convoy was all his belongings, and it was almost robbed. Now Yang Tashan has captured the robbers and kept his food.This made him overjoyed.Grabbing Yang Tashan's hand and shaking it, he was very grateful.

Tian Nizi teased Long Wang: "Don't just talk about those useless things, they saved the food for you, so you have nothing to thank!"

Long Wang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! It should be, it should be." He took out a money bag from his pocket, and poured out all the broken silver inside, big and small, about three or four taels, and divided it in half. After thinking about it, I pulled it back a little bit.

Tian Nizi was upset when she saw it, she snatched it up, stuffed it into Yang Tashan's hand, and stared back at Long Wang: "He has saved our grain for us with all his might, there are more than ten carts of grain! That's All the belongings, such a small amount of money is still stingy, really!"

Long Wang smiled sarcastically: "I...I don't want to save some for the journey." Seeing how young he is, and marrying a woman who is as beautiful as a flower, it is inevitable to be afraid of guilt.

"What are you keeping? If they don't help you keep the grain carts, what else can you keep? Brother Yang, who dealt with so many thieves by himself, will lose his life. Just for this kind of heart, we can't lose him. "

"That... that's true..." Even though he said so, his eyes were still fixed on the money in Yang Tashan's hand.

Yang Tashan smiled, divided half of the money, and gave it back to Long Wang: "Boss, you have to pay for the brothers to eat and drink on the way. If you don't have money, what can you do? You give me half of the money, it's already a lot, and I'll give it back to you." You get double wages."

Long Wang hurriedly picked it up, and said gratefully: "Oh, brother Yang, you... how good this is..."

Seeing that Tian Nizi still wanted to talk, Yang Tashan hurriedly said: "That's it, I don't want an extra kid, we're going back to sleep, and we have to go on our way tomorrow morning." Then he went into the Datong shop.The other guys also entered the room, undressed and went to sleep.

Although Tian Nizi has a cheerful personality, she dare not enter the man's room in the middle of the night.Then he vented his anger on Long Wang, gave Long Wang a hard look, twisted his waist and walked towards the backyard.

Long Wang asked, "Where are you going?"

Tian Nizi stopped, turned around and said: "Brother Yang is alone, and no one feels sorry for him. His clothes are so dirty that it is rare for him to call me sister on the way. My sister will help him wash the dirty clothes." , hit or not?"

"Middle, middle!" Long Wang said with a smile on his face, "My girl still loves others. Hehe"

After Tian Nizi left, Long Wang checked the grain cart carefully again, and told the cart driver on duty to be careful, and then went back to his room to sleep.

It's hot in summer, and clothes dry overnight.

Early the next morning, Tian Nizi returned the washed and dried clothes to Yang Tashan. Yang Tashan wanted to change the clothes on his body. Tian Nizi smiled and said: "No need to change, you just wear it. I am going to give it to my younger brother, so give it to you now."

"Your brother?"

"Well, he works as a policeman in Qingyang Mansion."

"Oh, then I would like to thank my sister-in-law."

"Look at how polite you are! If you don't mind, you can call me sister in the future."

"This..." Yang Tashan hesitated, and looked sideways at Longwang, the owner next to him.

Long Wang smiled, his face was wrinkled, he took a sneak look at Tian Nizi, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Yang, Nizi said last night that you did us such a big favor, and I don't know what to do." Thank you, seeing you alone with nowhere to go, Nizi wants... wants to recognize you as a... a godbrother. I don't know what you want?"

Yang Tashan has nowhere to go right now, and he doesn't know if he has any relatives. The feeling of wandering alone for more than a month is really uncomfortable. Seeing Long Wang's expression, he was obviously not very happy.

Of course, no man likes his woman to be so sensual and affectionate with other men's sisters and brothers. If he wants to make a fire, he can wear an extra hat for nothing.

Yang Tashan smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Thank you, my boss, thank you my sister-in-law, I don't have a fixed place to live, and I'm used to wandering all over the world, so it's okay."

He gently avoided the matter of admitting his younger brother, and said that he was drifting alone, which was obviously a polite refusal.Why can't Long Wang and Tian Nizi hear it?Long Wang immediately smiled: "Yeah, looking at Brother Yang's martial arts, you can tell that Brother Yang must be a hero of the martial arts world. He is a home from all over the world, so chic, unlike us who work hard to make a living. "

Tian Nizi stared at Yang Tashan with a cold face, turned around, got into the carriage, and lowered the curtain.

Yang Tashan felt a little guilty, but didn't know what to say.Long Wang greeted them on the road, and the convoy went to Qingyang Mansion.

After that, nothing happened all the way, but when Tian Nizi saw Yang Tashan, she kept a cold face and said nothing, but she still sneaked two eggs for him, gave him a jug of wine, and helped him wash his clothes from time to time.Yang Tashan couldn't bear to welcome her kindness, but he didn't refuse.

On this day, I finally arrived at Qingyang Mansion.

Qingyang Mansion didn't have much grain harvest last year, there was a famine, and the hungry people were everywhere. Later, the imperial court allocated grain to relieve the disaster, and grain merchants from all over the country also brought in a large amount of grain for sale, and slowly recovered.When they entered the city, there were very few hungry people fleeing the famine.

The grain carts were transported all the way to the mansion of the owner, Longwang.This house is not big, that is, a well-off family.The grain was unloaded in the granary in the backyard.

Long Wang smiled and said to Yang Tashan: "Brother Yang, after unloading the food, we will rest for two days. We will go back to Xi'an Mansion and continue to transport the food. You are skilled in martial arts. From now on, follow our convoy with food and lodging included. Double salary per month, four hundred cash. How about it?"
