The steward made a gesture of invitation, and Zhang Xiaowu turned around and left. The steward seemed to have something to say to Lang Er. He hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Lang Er had no instructions, he led Zhang Xiaowu back to the front hall of the casino.
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly asked: "Lang Er served in the army?"
The steward was surprised and said, "How do you know?"
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "He has people in the army, but I hope he won't extend his tentacles to me. This will be good for everyone."
The steward turned around, bowed his head, smiled strangely, turned around and continued to lead the way.
Zu Gongmao and others were having a great time, and everyone won some money. They left Ping'an Gambling House, and according to the information given by Lang Er, they successfully arrived at Wenji Huanyifang outside the city.
The so-called outside the city does not refer to the Saibei outside Lianglang Pass, but the place where people live outside the city wall on the south side of Lianglang City. The road to Lianglang Valley is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. Because the Wolf Guards live there, there are no bandits or disasters, and the land is fertile and the water source is sufficient.
, a large number of people live in the center of the valley. There are actually more than 100,000 people living between the two langgu roads from Lianglangguan to Daizhou.
The wall on the south side of Lianglang City is only two feet high, not even as high as the wall of Tucheng. However, this side faces the people of the Central Plains and there is no need to set up defenses. It can be said that attacking Lianglangguan from north to south is as difficult as the sky, and attacking from south to north is as easy as the palm of your hand.
.
Not long after arriving in Nancheng, everyone saw a river. This river originates from the West Yehe Mountain and is called the Hulu River. The farther south the river becomes, the wider it gets. The people live on both sides of the Hulu River, enjoying themselves as if they were in a paradise.
It's like war never came.
Everyone walked along the official road and finally found Wenji Huanyifang. There were many strong women washing and washing by the river. Zhang Xiaowu came forward and bowed and said: "Excuse me, ladies, who is in charge here?"
A strong woman in her fifties handed the clothes in her hands to others, walked over and said, "Who are you?"
"I am Zhang Xiaowu, the commander of the Death Soldier Battalion of the Sixth Regiment of the Qinglong Army. I have met the sister in charge." Zhang Xiaowu reported his family background.
The woman quickly apologized and said, "It turns out to be Colonel Colonel. Please forgive me for being rude. I wonder why the general called me?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "My wife, Captain Zugong Mao, came to Lianglangguan with her young daughter Qianli to find her husband. Thanks to the help of Wenji Huanyifang, she worked here as a beggar. I would like to express my gratitude today."
The woman smiled so hard that her teeth turned out, and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we are all poor people, and we should help each other. The woman the general mentioned about traveling thousands of miles to find a husband must be the Wu family, but it's just that
Wu is sick today, I will ask someone to take you there."
"Thank you sister." Zhang Xiaowu handed over a bunch of copper coins, about twenty copper coins. The woman smiled from ear to ear, and called a teenage girl and warned: "Xiangxiu, you must
Lead the way well and don't neglect the military masters."
The little girl named Xiang Xiu had clear and lovely features. Her hands were all red from washing clothes for a long time. She hurriedly bowed her knees and handrails to everyone, and said in a voice like an oriole: "I have met all the military masters, please."
Follow me."
Everyone followed Xiang Xiu and walked a few hundred steps in the countryside before arriving at a row of private houses. After passing the private houses was Wenji Huanyi Fang. This Huanyi Fang relied on the Wolf Guard and the White Tiger Army for their livelihood, and they did laundry for the soldiers.
Earn some hard-earned money by sewing. Because the White Tiger Army is stationed at Lianglang Pass, there has been a lot of work these days, and everyone is very tired.
Everyone followed the Xiangxiu girl, and the women in coats immediately started chattering. They never expected that the men of the Wu family had really found them. They were really blessed. In these days, the husbands who were serving in the army in the north of Saibei didn't know whether they were alive or dead, let alone
He said that he found his family in Lianglangguan.
There were many bumps on the road, and Xiangxiu walked at the forefront, jumping and jumping like a nimble deer. Walking next to Zhang Xiaowu, she felt that this bright-eyed young man had an extraordinarily approachable aura, and unconsciously looked more
He glanced at him, but almost tripped. Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him and said with concern: "Be careful, Miss Xiangxiu."
"Thank you very much." Xiangxiu blushed and walked a little slower.
Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and asked: "Miss Xiangxiu, how much do you earn in one day of cleaning?"
Xiangxiu replied crisply: "Five cents."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "How much does a sesame seed cake cost?"
Xiangxiu said: "Two cents."
Zhang Xiaowu sighed: "I can't even afford three sesame cakes after a day's work."
Xiang Xiu said: "My boss will give me lunch. I will just wait for some snacks when I get home in the evening. I can earn one and a half cakes a day. It is a great kindness to be able to support my brother and sister. We are poor."
I don’t need much from my family, so I am happy to be able to survive.”
"Yes, first of all, people have to survive." Zhang Xiaowu sighed.
While talking, Xiangxiu led everyone to the backyard, and was about to push the door in when he heard someone inside saying: "Ms. Wu, your man has probably died in Saibei a long time ago, so why did you wait for them? If you were from
If you leave me, not to mention the popular ones, I will definitely treat your two daughters as my own."
A woman sternly reprimanded: "Bah! Song Cong, I am my husband's son in life, and his ghost in death. Don't say those nasty words to me, and get out of here!"
The male voice came: "Ms. Wu, why are you scolding people? Have I, Song Cong, treated you badly? Have I, Song Cong, made things difficult for you? Don't bite Lu Dongbin because you don't know a good heart."
The woman said: "Song Cong, if you are just the manager of Huanyifang, I will naturally be grateful for your kindness to me. When my husband comes back, my husband and I will naturally repay you. But if you have evil intentions,
, full of treachery, don’t blame me for being rude, my husband is not an ordinary person, he is the captain of the Qinglong Forbidden Army!"
"You're still a captain! Wu, if you tell others, they might believe you, but I know Saibei well, how can you talk nonsense and deceive my kind heart? You are so naughty, are you afraid of me?
I don't cherish you too much?" The man said cowardly, "Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well, and your man's life or death is uncertain. I am sincere to you, and I have never treated you badly. It can be said that I am extremely kind to you.
Right? If you don’t obey me, you don’t need to say bad words to me, right?”
The woman said angrily: "Okay, I won't say anything bad to you, but you know what I feel like, so please stay away from here."
"I'm not in a hurry to leave, but it's a pity that I left. Your two daughters, just... tsk tsk tsk... You said you are good-looking, and your two daughters are also beauties. If you put them in this Huanyifang, I don't know how early they will be."
Are you being remembered? To tell you the truth, your two daughters were taken away."
Wu screamed: "What did you say? Say it again! You... but you let people take them away? You give my daughters back." Zu Gongmao outside the door was also anxious and was about to rush in.
Zhang Xiaowu grabbed him and whispered: "Listen to him to continue talking."
"Ms. Wu, I, Song Cong, like you, but not your daughter. I am not an animal, so I don't have the desire to take advantage of both mother and daughter. I know who abducted your daughter. If you follow me
, I will help you rescue your daughter. If you don't obey me, why should I offend the strong man for you? Do you think I am a good person? Do you think this is true? If you remarry me, you will naturally be my wife.
Your daughter is also my daughter, and I am justified in saving my daughter. But what is your daughter’s name to me? What does it have to do with me?”
"you……"
"Bang!"
Zhang Xiaowu kicked the door open, and Zu Gongmao, Wang Yijin, and Chen Guanxi rushed into the courtyard. Zu Gongmao's eyes were red, and he rushed forward and punched a short, fat black man to the ground, and raised his jealous fist.
He was about to smash it down, but found that his hand was strangled. When he looked up, it was Zhang Xiaowu who had grabbed his hand. Zhang Xiaowu said: "Go see your wife, leave this man to me, and we will take care of this fat man for you."
——I'm afraid that if you accidentally kill him, you will never find your daughter again."
"Here." Zu Gongmao gritted his teeth and glared at the short black man, then turned and walked towards the woman.
The lady, Mrs. Wu, was in her thirties. Although she was tired and sick, she could not hide her beauty. She was a girl from Yangzhou. She was indeed an outstanding woman. Even a farmer's daughter was so beautiful. When she saw Grandpa Mao, she first covered her mouth and became speechless.
, then rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe it, and finally confirmed in his heart that the person in front of him was his father-in-law, and he immediately sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Zu Gongmao ignored everyone and rushed forward to hold her in his arms to comfort her. While the lady Wu was crying, she hammered his back with both hands and cursed: "Why did you come to us? Why did you come to us?"
Come? Where did you die?"
Zu Gongmao apologized repeatedly, but he himself was also filled with tears and choked with sobs.
Zhang Xiaowu held the short, fat black man's neck with one hand. The man almost suffocated and begged: "Let...let...let me go...let...let me go!" Zhang Xiaowu slammed him to the ground.
There was another bang, and the fat black man was beaten to pieces. He was confused and picked up by Zhang Xiaowu again, and then he was thrown to the ground. His internal organs were almost out of place from the smash, and there was no part of his body that was not in pain.
Zhang Xiaowu was heard yelling angrily: "Say it! Say it or not? Do you want to say it or not?"
The short and fat black man cried: "Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me, I said, I said, I said - but you asked! How would you know what to say if you didn't ask me? You've killed me unjustly."
Zhang Xiaowu was startled, and thought he was right, so he ordered those around him: "Tie him up."
Wang Yijin and Chen Guanxi tied up the man fiercely, almost exhausting the black man to death. The black man lay on the ground like a maggot. He raised his head and resentfully took a clear look at the four strong men in front of him, and then saw the distance.
Xiangxiu, who was trembling with fear, asked tremblingly: "Master Qiang, I...I...I will give this woman up to you. I only have ten taels of silver in my pocket. Take it away, take it all, and do not harm her."
He took my life. If you are thoughtful, take the little girl away too. Then Xiangxiu is still a young girl."
Xiangxiu's eyes widened, her teeth were itching with anger, and she wanted to go forward and bite this bastard steward.
Zhang Xiaowu walked up to the black fat man and squatted down. He looked at the little black fat man. Hey, he looks a bit like the little black fat man from Reed Cloud Club in another world. He is about the same age, but obviously this little fat man is Bede.
The fat little black man from Yunshe's bones were much softer, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Zhang Xiaowuxin said that because you look very similar to a certain cross talk actor, I won’t kill you for the time being.
