"Le San! Have your two little brothers returned to their hometown?"
"Yes! Uncle Yu, they are homesick. Besides, it's the New Year, so I let them go back."
"Aren't you going to reply?"
"I, I want to, but I don't have any money! They have all borrowed it."
"Haha, you are really pretending to be poor! You want to save face and suffer. I have some money here that I can lend to you."
"Uncle Yu, aren't you afraid that I won't come back?"
"Hey! I'm an old bachelor, and having more money and less money is of no use!"
"Uncle Yu, I'll treat you to a drink tonight."
"Okay! Let's go to Yu Niang's place?"
"Yeah, we don't have any appetizers ourselves!"
"You kid! Although Yu Niang is a few years older than you, she is still worthy of you, so you can just accept it. She is not kind to you!"
"Well, Uncle Yu, I am also a man with a wife."
"I know, you told me, but you're not going home either, so the two of you can just make do with each other!"
Le San looked ashamed.
"You're just a thin-skinned kid. It's okay. I'll tell you tonight."
"Uncle Yu, Mother Yu, why did she end up here?"
"Hey! Haven't you got a bad father? Her mother is a Han nationality and was captured as a slave by the Khitan people. Later she married her father. Her father used to raise horses for adults. After earning some money, he There was a tavern in this village, and I somehow learned how to gamble. As a result, I lost my wife and children, and I also froze to death outside because I drank too much. Yu Niang’s mother didn’t care at all, and in the end it was everyone’s fault. They were carried and buried in the mountains. Later, when Yu Niang grew up, she married her half-brother. However, this brother was also a miscreant. He had a sweetheart in the town who was a concubine of a rich family, so he was When people found out, they were beaten to death with sticks, and Yu Niang became a widow. How greedy! Yu Niang is such a good person, I don’t know how to cherish it! This person is really beyond words. "
"Uncle Yu, is the snow really heavy this year?"
"Isn't it! By the way, Le San, those two little brothers of yours have taken away all those mountain goods of yours. After they sell them, can the money be sent back to your family? You are not afraid of being swallowed up by them!"
"Probably not. If you don't have a few trusted brothers, wouldn't your life be in vain?"
"Haha, don't brag about this. Wait for a letter from your family! I've suffered a lot, otherwise! Huh! I can't be alone now!"
Yu Bo must be a man with stories, and his weathered cheeks prove that he must have experienced a lot.
Nowadays, Yu Le has changed his name to Le San, and he is traveling in the white mountains and black waters. His identity is to collect mountain goods. He says he collects mountain goods, but he actually goes to the mountains to find and hunt by himself. Thanks to the experience of hunting in the mountains with Qian Xiaobao when he was young, otherwise it is not necessarily possible. It’s rewarding because it’s also a technical job.
At this time, Yu Le no longer wore bright clothes, no longer had a face as white as jade, he was covered in leather jackets, and the thick cotton clothes wrapped him like a big bear. He had an unshaven beard, and his face was much darker. He is more suave, more determined, and more mature.
Yu Le never expected to come to the Northeast, his ancestral homeland more than a thousand years ago. Today's Northeast is not a vast land with sparsely populated areas, but a state of almost no one. It is a pure virgin forest with too many prey, including tigers, bears, wolves, etc. There is a lot of waiting, just like Siberia in Russia. Yu Le asked Ruan Che and Leng Gang to bring back a lot of tiger skins and bear skins, and also got a lot of fine wolf teeth for the children; and brought back a lot of high-grade mountain ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to the master, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and daughters-in-law. , and deer antlers! These are all great supplements, and the most important thing is that they are natural.
"Le San, it's time to set the time now, shall we go back?"
"Okay Uncle Yu, it gets dark really early after winter here!"
"Isn't it? Alas, God is the biggest, no one can control it!"
The two put the day's harvest on Yu Bo's carriage. Yu Le wanted to give Yu Bo two taels of silver every month, regardless of whether he used it or not. It was called a chartered carriage.
Yu Le was driving, and Yu Bo was sitting cross-legged next to him, "You're such a good guy, your driving job is pretty good, you're not much worse than me!"
What Yu Le was thinking was that he had driven all the way from Tang! It has been practiced for more than 10,000 miles!
The two drove for almost half an hour, and a small village appeared in front of them. It was a small village with more than ten households. The floating population in the village was mainly people who came to collect mountain goods, so it became somewhat popular.
"Uncle Yu, why are there so many people in Mrs. Yu's family? Could something happen?"
"It must be that damn Yelu who is talking nonsense. He has a lover in the village and wants to occupy Yu Niang!"
"I'll take care of him!"
"No, he is the tax collector of the county. We can't afford to offend him. Don't worry, Yu Niang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Otherwise, she would be able to support the tavern here by herself. Hehe! This girl is so powerful!"
The two of them arrived at the tavern after a while, and heard a woman shouting: "Yelü, you dare to touch me, I will slap you, try it!"
Yu Le squeezed into the crowd and saw Yu Niang, who looked very strong in a large flowered coat, holding a sharp bone-picking knife in her hand and pulling at Yelu Gui. Yelu Gui was pulling her hair, wearing a beige robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves. , put the trouser legs into the boots, and are worn by ordinary Khitan people.
"Huh, Madam Yu, if you still don't pay the taxes, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Go away, pay your mother's taxes. I've already paid my official taxes. You think I don't understand, but I can read, hum! You can't even try to lie to me." Yu Niang shouted, without any fear on her face. , but with a look of disdain.
"You, wait, you will be mine sooner or later, let's go!"
This is not the first time that Yelv Guisha has come to defraud money. He used the fact that he is a tax collector to deceive good people who are illiterate and do not understand the law to pay more taxes. In fact, it is all because of his own corruption.
"Hey! San is back, come in quickly!" Madam Yu fell in love with Yu Le. She has been attracted by Yu Le since she came here, but Yu Le is indifferent. It's not that Yu Le doesn't want to do it, but she doesn't dare to do it! There are really too many women in the family, and they all have their own national beauty and beauty, which makes ordinary women look down upon them and start to pick and choose! But this guy, if he doesn’t solve his physical problems as time goes by, it won’t work! There is a saying that a sow competes with Diao Chan, which is also a true portrayal!
Yu Niang was afraid that Yu Le would be a little embarrassed after seeing her arrogance, so she entered the tavern in shame.
Uncle Yu happily drove back to his home. Yu Le rented at Uncle Yu's house, earning one tael of silver a month, so his consumption was very high.
"Le San, you go in first, I'll come over in a minute and heat up the wine!"
"Okay, Uncle Yu."
Yu Le entered the tavern, and everyone watching the fun outside also came in. There was nothing else in the village except this entertainment venue. Of course, there were also gambling, but it was still early. Most of the people in the tavern came to collect mountain goods, hoping to collect some good goods and take them home for the New Year.
"Le San, how was the harvest today!" Yu Niang asked with a smile while pouring tea for Yu Le.
"Not bad! Very good." Yu Le felt that this was like a report, every day, starting with this sentence.
"I know that what you and Uncle Yu have received are all good goods. I can pay you fifty taels of silver and you can sell them to me. I am also anxious to go home for the New Year." A colleague said to Yu Le.
When Yu Niang heard this, she became anxious and said, "How much! You are too evil. My family has worked so hard to collect it, and you can give it fifty taels. How about a sweet dream?"
"Hey, this has become the third of your family. When did it happen? How come we didn't know about it! Haha!"
"Tch, I have to tell you something! You are Wang Fa! Third, this is the pig's mouth I made today, and I left it for you, hee hee!" Yu Niang is actually quite pretty. , is too "mellow". If she was definitely a beauty in the Tang Dynasty, and she was a mixed-race beauty, European and American type, Jufeng!
