Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

In the summer season, the weather in inland China is getting hotter, but the land in Liaodong is still a little chilly.

Wearing thick clothes, the salesman picked up the bag, which contained furs and medicinal materials collected from the surrounding villages. This was not a rare commodity in Liaodong, but it was also the hardest commodity, and there was always no shortage of buyers.

The sun gradually rose and shone on the gray tiles and white walls. Many medicinal materials were dried on the houses with sloping spires. People wearing two or three layers of clothes took to the streets, saying hello to familiar people from time to time, and then walked away today. At work, I continue to work hard for three meals a day.

The same is true for Wuxi, who is from Bohai. In the past, he would either go to Zhang's house to help deliver food or go to Wang's house to work part-time. He would have to work for seven or eight hours to earn three melons and two dates, barely able to support his mother and children at home. sister.

only……

It's different now.

Wu Xi thought about it, sorting out his old and new clothes, which he bought a month after he found a new job. Although they were not the latest, they were much better than the previous clothes that were full of patches.

My boss is a good person... If it weren't for him, I would be as tired as an ox or a horse.

With a relaxed smile, Wu Xi turned around the alley and looked up at a familiar figure dismantling the door panel. He quickly ran over and said, "Master, I'm here to do it. How do you work with your body?" Such a shameful thing.”

"Bullshit, why is it so mean?"

The figure who turned around was Cao Zheng. He had been here in Liaoyang from Liangshan for a long time. After much thought, he took up the business of slaughtering chickens and sheep. So with this shop, he also ran the hotel business. Xi was just a local guy he recruited.

He handed the board in his hand to Wu Xi and quickly removed the other boards: "I do these things from morning to night, and I am very skilled at it."

"Then it's time for the younger one to come, otherwise what's the point of recruiting the younger one?" The honest and honest young man from Bohai laughed and took the wooden board handed to him: "My boss, I'd better go inside first, and the younger one will take care of the rest."

"Okay, I'll go to the store first." Cao Zheng nodded and walked in, placing the tables and chairs casually. After a while, the room lit up, but the waiter outside removed the light-blocking board and carried them in one by one. , standing behind the door.

"What's new in the city today?"

Cao Zheng returned to the counter, laid out some of the things he would use today, and asked his little boy casually.

"It's not a big deal. There is a dispute between the Gao family and the Yuan family in the east of the city. They have been scolding each other for the past two days." Wu Xi is also used to his shopkeeper asking about the city's affairs from time to time. He generally knows that he is a Han Chinese and cannot understand. Bohai dialect and Khitan dialect are afraid that there will be an emergency and they will not be rushed.

"Oh?" Cao Zheng narrowed his eyes and slowly took out the accounting book from under the stage and put it on the table: "I remember that the Gao family and the Yuan family are both big families in Liaoyang Prefecture. I don't know why there was a dispute?"

Wu Xi took a handful of rags and shrugged while cleaning the table: "I don't know, it's probably the dirty things among the big families of the Gao clan."

He turned around and smiled bitterly: "How can we, ordinary people like us, be looked down upon by those who claim to be noble?"

Cao Zheng smiled and didn't know what to say. The Liaoyang Mansion was quite special. Han people, Bohai people, Liao people, and Jurchens lived together. It was just because the Gao family had a general who commanded three thousand Bohai cavalry some time ago. This Gao family My family suddenly became rich and noble, and my aura was as high as the sky. I looked at everyone with my nose, and my reputation in this city was really not very good.

"Maybe it's because of women." Cao Zheng laughed and said indifferently: "People like this can't argue with each other over three or five copper coins."

"Hahaha, what my boss said is true, it's really possible." Wu Xi smiled and turned around to continue wiping the table. Men like to talk about this topic the most.
Soon the trivial matters were taken care of. Cao Zheng asked the boy to look ahead and went to the kitchen to prepare. Not long after, the stove fire was lit, and the unique aroma of meat was simmering in the iron pot.

……

The wind howled, and a figure followed the wind, crashed through the weak door and flew out.

"Damn it, how dare you hit me..." Bang——

A fist as big as a sandbag hit the person's eye socket, and the strong man took two steps back. The person behind him quickly stretched out his hand to support the retreating figure. The person covering his eyes looked left and right: "What are you doing standing there, beat him!" "

The two people looked at each other, shouted "Ah--" and rushed forward with fists raised. Then they saw the figure in white jumping up in front, and the lines on the soles of the shoes magnified in their eyes.

"what!"

"Woo!"

There were two screams, and the two people fell into a gourd rolling on the ground right at the feet of the strong man with injured eyes.

"Gudu——" The man swallowed his saliva and looked at the white-clad figure approaching in surprise. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, you might as well tell me what you want about this good man."

Pointing to lying around, "Ouch..." the subordinates groaned loudly: "You are beating me indiscriminately. You guys really don't know what you want to do."

"Han people? Bohai people? Khitan people? Xi people?" The figure in white was approaching, and then without waiting for the man to answer, he said to himself: "That's all, these are not important anymore."

The sun shone into the house from outside. The man stopped in front of the man, patted his shoulder with one hand, and brought his face to his ear: "From now on, you will work with me, Liu Yun, got it?"

"Uh..." The man looked a little hesitant, and suddenly felt a huge pain coming from his shoulder blade. He nodded hastily: "Listen to the hero, listen to the hero."

Liu Yun straightened up with a smile and patted the other party: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and I won't let your work go in vain."

He reached out and took out a piece of silver from his waist and threw it into the other person's arms: "Clean this place and you can distribute the rest."

The man caught it hurriedly, half-opening his eyes with excitement, he bit the silver and groaned: "It's really silver..."

Then he said happily: "Look, we will take good care of you."

Then he walked over and kicked the man who was groaning a few times: "Stop pretending to be dead, get up and work, clean the house quickly, don't you see that the master wants to move in?"

The people who were turning over while holding their wounds stopped groaning, and got up one by one. Looking at the at least ten taels of silver in the man's hand, his eyes gleamed. He endured the pain and got up, and began to clean the dirty floor in the house. , with broken furniture thrown out the door.

……

At the same time, in the woods near Chenzhou.

The tall Niu Wenzhong held a three-pointed two-edged sword and rode on a fierce horse. He looked at the man in front of him: "How come you don't recognize me after so much time?"

"Brother has not returned to Liaodong for many years, why should I listen to you when he comes back!"

He clenched the big sword in his hand: "We have been here all these years, there is no reason why you can be the leader again when you come back!"

"Haha, that's good!" Niu Wenzhong laughed strangely and urged his horse to charge forward: "Then let's fight again!" (End of Chapter)
