Chapter Fifty-Three
Yang Jiuwa led his brothers back to the mountain. After thinking about it, the days of robbing homes and houses were like sailing against the current. Maybe one day the boat and people would capsize and fall into the water. He was unwilling to be taken in by Captain Guo, and seemed a little confused. He didn't know where the road was.
.
Suddenly, a spy came to report that a group of horse teams from Inner Mongolia came to the gate of the village, claiming to want to see the big leader Yang Jiuwa. Yang Jiuwa secretly thought: He and the horse team from Inner Mongolia have never met, what are those people doing here?
In any case, the visitors are all guests. Yang Jiuwa personally led his minions, big and small, out of the village to greet them. The one who came was Shopkeeper Hu. Shopkeeper Hu traffics mountain goods from Inner Mongolia to Chang'an all year round. He has fought all kinds of bandits.
Although the two have never met, they have heard each other's names for a long time. This time, Shopkeeper Hu came to Yang Jiuwa because of the Inner Mongolian woman who eloped with Gu Rong. In fact, if an ordinary woman, Shopkeeper Hu, wouldn't care so much.
That woman is the daughter of a tribal leader in Inner Mongolia. The tribal leader couldn't afford to offend the shopkeeper, so the woman must be found. As for why the woman eloped with Gu Rong? It is still a mystery, and no one will get to the bottom of it.
.
Everyone came to the Juyi Hall and sat down separately for the guest of honor. The waiter offered tea and asked the shopkeeper to understand Chinese. In this way, they thoroughly explained what happened in Guoyu Village that night. Yang Jiuwa understood that there was only one person in the dark night.
Lengmu went to Guoyu Village alone to visit the silly girl. Only Lengmu could do such a thing. Shopkeeper Hu made it clear that he only planned to bring the Inner Mongolia woman back and was unwilling to hurt anyone. Fengqi’s point
Dao'er is the only way to be the shopkeeper. He still has to do business and doesn't want to cut off the road.
People in the world will encounter all kinds of things. Shopkeeper Nahu seemed to be quite old, and his beard had turned white. Yang Jiuwa called the shopkeeper "brother" and asked: "Brother, what about that woman?"
Are you that important?" Shopkeeper Hu didn't intend to hide it: "That woman is the daughter of a leader, and we can't afford to offend that leader." Yang Jiuwa understood clearly and revealed the secret with one word: "Brother, let the little brother say a disrespectful word.
, The reason why the woman wanted to elope with him was probably because of the trivial matter on the kang. Lian Po is old and cannot stop the woman's spirit."
Shopkeeper Hu showed a slight embarrassment on his face, then laughed loudly: "Happy! I like straightforward people like my brother. I also plan to get that woman back and return it to his father. We Inner Mongolians are no better than you Han people, women
You can regret your marriage."
Shopkeeper Nahu and Yang Jiuwa went back and forth and got into bad tempers. At that time, Yang Jiuwa held a banquet to entertain guests from Inner Mongolia. At the banquet, Yang Jiuwa gave shopkeeper Hu an idea: "Since you don't plan to want that woman again, this
I can help you take care of things. When you return to Inner Mongolia this time, you can take the woman and the young man named Gu Rong with you, and hand them both over to the tribal leader, and the tribal leader will handle the rest."
Shopkeeper Hu said: "I can't even catch people now, so how can I hand over someone to the leader?" Yang Jiuwa said: "It's easy, I can let you see people." Shopkeeper Hu said: "A gentleman has no jokes." Yang Jiuwa said
Patting his chest: "I, Yang, speak loudly and I never intend to deceive people." He called the shopkeeper to give Yang Jiuwa some advice: "It's not cost-effective for you to do this business without capital. Why don't you come with me and engage in long-distance trafficking? My camel team
If you take a trip to Chang'an, you can earn hundreds of dollars at least, otherwise the tribal leader will not marry his daughter to us."
Yang Jiuwa was tempted by what he said. Yes, he has been dealing with those rushing men all year round. Why didn't he think of organizing a cavalry team himself? In this way, he could not only solve the problem of making food without rice, but also get rid of the recruitment of Captain Guo, who was robbing families and homes.
I have long been tired of the life, why not take this opportunity to reincarnate and do some serious business? Thinking of this, Yang Jiuwa clasped his fists at the shopkeeper and expressed his feelings: "To be honest, brother, Yang has had this idea for a long time, but he just suffered from the lack of a confidant to lead Yang
I am a newbie, and I am truly lucky to meet you today. Yang is a layman in business, so I hope you can give me some advice."
Shopkeeper Nahu is always on the road and is a straightforward person. He immediately made a decision and asked Yang Jiuwa to immediately organize people to go with him to Inner Mongolia. He only needed to bring enough money and he would arrange the rest. Don't expect to make money on the first trip. Business is about "flowing"
"Dew" means that all aspects must be taken care of. Yang Jiuwa said: "The master will lead you in, and the practice is up to you. Don't worry, brother, Yang is definitely not that kind of stingy person."
Then he called Lengmu and asked Lengmu to go back to Guoyu Village and inform Lengmu to return to the mountain as soon as possible. He called the shopkeeper and said: "What's the name of your strong man Lengmu? He was the only one blocking the way in the dark night, which made us return without any results."
"That's a man of talent." Yang Jiuwa said: "These brothers of mine all have skills. I want to lead them on the right path and stop engaging in the business of robbing families and homes."
As soon as Lengmu walked out of the mountain gate, he met Lengmu head-on and said to Lengmu: "Brother asked me to look for you." The two of them followed each other to Juyi Hall. When Lengmu saw the shopkeeper Nahu, he asked: "Are you the one who robbed Ye Tianhei?"
"People from Guoyu Village"? Yang Jiuwa stretched out his one arm to stop Lengmu: "Don't speak unreasonably to the guests"! Lengmu became even more presumptuous: "This guy wants to rob women from the rafters in the dark at night"!
Shopkeeper Hu didn't mind and explained: "It was Gu Rong who abducted my woman."
Lengmu stared: "Why do you say that woman is yours? Since she is with Gu Rong, she is Gu Rong's woman. If you want to intercede with Brother Yang, there is no way!"
Yang Jiuwa smiled at shopkeeper Hu: "Look, my brothers are often like this. They make a lot of noise in the Juyi Hall and don't obey my control at all."
Lengmu said: "We obey reason but not others. What you say makes sense and we obey you. If you act unreasonably and want others to obey you, there is no way!"
In order to ease the deadlock, Yang Jiuwa said to Lengmu: "You go down and have a rest first. I'll call you later if I have something to do."
But Na Lengmu was also a stubborn man, and he shook his fist at the shopkeeper Nahu: "No, let this guest make a guarantee first, and he is not allowed to rob the women of Guo Yucun anymore!"
Yang Jiuwa's face darkened: "Lengmu, you haven't understood the situation clearly, so why are you making random comments? You don't even listen to what my elder brother says, who else do you have in mind?"
Only then did Lengmu throw up his sleeves angrily and leave.
After Lengmu left, Yang Jiuwa asked Geda: "Who's name is Gu Rong in your village? I think that man must be unusually good-looking. Otherwise, if Inner Mongolia women can fall in love with him, he will also elope with him."
Lupai said: "Brother is right, the two brothers Gu Riao and Gu Purun can be considered two good men. In hot weather, they carry passengers across the river together on the bank of the Yellow River. In winter, they go out together to travel. Live a tight life. From the Yellow River
Picking up a woman is called Bangchui. I heard from the villagers that the two brothers share the same woman."
Yang Jiuwa faced Shopkeeper Hu and said: "There are many strange things happening in remote areas, Shopkeeper Hu doesn't mind."
Shopkeeper Hu nodded: "It's the same everywhere there. It's just that I have to return that woman to her father no matter what."
Yang Jiuwa said: "This problem is not difficult. Yang helps my brother with the cooking. I asked the shopkeeper to stay in the cottage for a few days. Yang wants to visit Guoyu Village in person."
At that moment, Yang Jiuwa told Gao Da: Bring a few people and Leng Mu, and let's go to Guoyu Village together. On the way, Leng Mu complained to Yang Jiu Wa: "Brother, I don't understand, why are you so polite to that shopkeeper Hu?"
Yang Jiuwa smiled: "Actually, what you did in Juyi Hall today was right, to dampen the spirit of the shopkeeper Hu. But enough is enough. We are not allowed to be unreasonable to the shopkeeper Hu in the future, because we have to do business with others."
Lengmu said, "Business is not as good as selling cigarettes. He knows the way to sell cigarettes. Lengmu and Li Mingqiu sold cigarettes for half a year and earned two loads of silver dollars." Yang Jiuwa said, "You can do that kind of thing once or twice.
, But we can’t do it for a long time. At present, the only way to bring the brothers on the right path is to engage in long-distance trafficking.” As they spoke, the group had arrived at Guoyu Village. Most people in Guoyu Village knew Yang Jiuwa, and they didn’t care when they saw these bandits.
Why are you so scared? Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. Bandits never harass Guoyu Village. Some people even took the initiative to say hello to Yang Jiuwa.
When they saw Lengmu and Geda taking Yang Jiuwa into the village, the two brothers Gu Rong and Gu Purlin didn't pay much attention. The brothers often saw Yang Jiuwa on the bank of the Yellow River and knew that Yang Jiuwa did not bully the poor. However, when they saw a group of bandits coming to their yard, they felt uncomfortable.
She was still a little timid and didn't know what Yang Jiuwa and the others were going to do. Several bandits surrounded the Inner Mongolia woman and stared at her intently, which made Gu Rong suspicious. Could this group of bandits be here to take advantage of his wife?
Yang Jiuwa smiled kindly and asked Gu Rong: "Do you want to go out again to catch up?" Gu Rong glanced at his wife and wondered if this was Yang Jiuwa's trick to coax him away and then ruin his wife? Ganda explained
: "Brother Yang also wants to set up a horse team to specialize in long-distance trafficking, and wants to hire the two brothers to drive the horses." Gu Riao and Gu Purin looked at each other, and it was obvious that Yang Jiuwa had no ill intentions. The men from Guoyu Village were working outside.
There were many, and most of the women stayed at home and farmed. Gu Chu saw that her brother was a little hesitant and said, "We two brothers will discuss it again." Yang Jiuwa said, "We won't leave for now, waiting for your reply."
A group of people left the yard of Gu Rong's house and came to Mr. Liangtian's house. They saw the silly girl sitting in the yard basking in the sun. When the guests entered the yard, she just grinned and didn't know how to get up to say hello. Lengmu said: "Han Nu"
It's so pitiful that she hasn't recovered from that blow yet and cries whenever she sees other people's children. Yang Jiuwa has never seen Han Nu before. She only heard people say that Han Nu looks ugly, so she was still surprised when she saw Han Nu:
There are people here and there, just like a bear! But he can't laugh at Lengmu, his woman is still ugly. Yang Jiuwa was worried about the silly girl, and asked Lengmu in an inquiring tone: "Can you send the silly girl to Xiangu Nunnery?"
"He Xiangu lives together"? Lengmu said: "Hannu has been living there for half a year. He asked Hannu several times, and Hannu became sober and confused at times. She said she couldn't live without Mr. Liangtian."
While they were talking, Master Liangtian came back with a large bundle of firewood. Yang Jiuwa told Master Liangtian that he wanted to take the silly girl away. Master Liangtian said: "As long as the silly girl is willing, don't think about himself."
When Yang Jiuwa and others visited Hannu, Liaopa stayed behind and told Gu Rong exactly what Brother Yang meant, and also told Gu Rong that the shopkeeper was waiting for them in the village. Gu Rong knew in his heart that his daughter-in-law was by no means an ordinary family's daughter.
, the Inner Mongolian women did not understand Chinese and could not communicate with each other. Geda suggested that Gu Rong take his wife to the village to eliminate the misunderstanding between them. In order to dispel Gu Rong's concerns, Geda said: "I will guarantee with my life that any of them will
I dare not touch a hair of yours."
Yang Jiuwa and the others also visited Geda's house to express condolences to Geda's father and mother. Geda's father wanted Geda to come back to farm. Yang Jiuwa said that he understood the old man's intentions. Those days of robbing families and homes made everyone disgusted, and he planned to lead everyone to do it.
business, take another path, and completely abandon the title of bandit. Seeing Yangyao holding his daughter, with a slightly bulging belly, he took out a silver dollar and put it in the palm of Yangyao's daughter, thinking that the old and young in this family,
It is true that Liao Da comes back to take responsibility.
Gu Rong took his Mongolian wife to Yang Jiuwa's village and met with shopkeeper Hu. Shopkeeper Hu agreed to terminate the engagement with the woman, but she had to let the woman go back to Inner Mongolia to explain to her father. After a day of preparation, everyone
When they started to leave, Yang Jiuwa left only a few old and weak bandits to guard the village. He personally led the brothers to break through the pass. A month later, they returned to Fengqi. Li Mingqiu welcomed them with He Xiangu in Xiangu Nunnery. Lengmu saw the silly girl,
The silly girl is much better than before, leaning against Lengmu's chest and making out.
That night, Captain Guo entertained Yang Jiuwa at the Donkey Tavern. When he raised his glass, Captain Guo sighed: "Brother Yang, you may be on the right path. Guo also wants to make a living on his own, but unfortunately he can't help himself."
In fact, the biggest gain from this trip to Inner Mongolia was Gu Rong. The tribal leader recognized his daughter’s marriage to Gu Rong and gave his daughter a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Gu Rong picked up a woman for nothing and gained so much wealth.
Naturally happy.
