Zhou Dagu opened his eyes in a daze.
The dilapidated house is covered with spider webs, there is an unpleasant smell that cannot be explained, and there is the cry of a female ghost next to it. This... where is this? Am I dead? Is this hell?
"Brother, are you awake?" Zhou Ruyi rushed over.
Zhou Dagu was not used to physical contact with outsiders. Just as he was about to hide away, he saw the little girl's face clearly and was suddenly stunned: "Ruyi?"
"Isn't this hell?...This is my home!"
He felt that it was better to start over with this kind of start!
"Our family is so poor?"
Zhou Ruyi said with a sad face: "Are you going to be poor soon?"
"Did you win the lottery?"
"Brother, what is a lottery ticket?"
"My bad, um... is there any good news?"
Zhou Ruyi's big eyes slowly turned red: "I'm getting married!"
"Bullshit, our dad just left and I just came back. Who are you going to marry without us asking?"
Zhou Dagu stretched out his hand and touched the head of the little girl who rescued him: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
Zhou Ruyi's eyes were red. The little girl was strong, perhaps because she had run out of tears: "After you and dad left, Yuan Wang often came to our house!"
"A few days ago, news came from the county that one hundred and ten troops were missing. He said that you and our father were among them!"
"Our family owes him five taels of silver. He said that neither you nor dad can come back, and there is no way I can pay him back this money. He asked me to marry him as his concubine to offset the five taels of silver!"
Zhou Dagu lay on the bed and sighed heavily: "I want to blind him. Don't worry, I'm back. Did you see the wolf skin I brought back?"
"Those wolf skins are not good stuff, but they are fine for thirty or forty taels of silver!"
Zhou Ruyi's eyes became even redder, and tears were about to fall out of her eyes: "Brother, I'm sorry for you! I've already sold the wolf skin!"
"You had a severe fever. I was afraid you would die, so I went to the doctor, but the doctor said they couldn't cure this disease!"
"I know that it was the guard at the door who passed the news of your return to the doctors and told them not to treat you. There is no other way. I can only go to the Taoist temple today to get those wolf skins."
"That's why I got a bowl of rejuvenating water from the Taoist Priest and saved your life!"
"But Yuan Wang just came again!"
Only then did Zhou Dagu see the two big red boxes at the door: "Silly girl, you are trying to save your brother, I am sorry for you!"
"It's just five taels of silver. Don't worry, sister, my brother is different. He is now a Confucian scholar who has entered the country. As long as I find a way, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to earn these five taels of silver!"
Zhou Ruyi shook his head: "It's useless!"
There was a noise in the yard: "Little lady, what are you thinking about! Our master is a big family with a radius of hundreds of miles! You are clear about the conditions of your family. As long as you marry our master, he will definitely Give your family a generous gift!"
Zhou Dagu kicked off the quilt: "Help me out. Your brother is back. You don't need to worry about these things. If the sky falls, I will die first!"
Zhou Ruyi nodded, as if she had found a backbone, and helped Zhou Dagu out.
In the courtyard, there were two strong men with bare arms standing on each side. The strong men were muscular and should be martial artists who had not entered the country.
Standing among the strong men was a short old man. The old man did not hide his aura at all. He should be a fourth-level and third-level martial artist.
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Dagu: "Hey! Dagu woke up? It seems that you are recovering well, why don't you take a rest!"
"Actually, your sister and I have already discussed the matter with your village chief! In five days, it will be an auspicious day. Then we will take advantage of the night to pick up the bride, and you can just send her out!"
Zhou Dagu was disdainful and spat in front of him: "Bah! I'm still here. It's useless for you to discuss my sister's affairs with anyone. I will decide this matter!"
The old man shook his head: "It's not up to you! Your master lent us five taels of silver!"
Zhou Dagu nodded: "It's just five taels of silver, I admit it!"
The old man looked at him and rolled his eyes: "No, no! It's been a month now, and the interest rate has already reached hundreds of taels, but they are all from the village. Our master will wipe off a small change for you, and it will count as one hundred taels for you!" "
Zhou Ruyi supported Zhou Dagu: "You are not bullying others. It is originally five taels, but no matter how hard you get out, it will never be a hundred taels!"
"Hey! Little girl, how do you know about this kind of thing? I'll tell your brother!"
The old man looked at Zhou Dagu: "Dagu! Do you recognize this kind of thing or not?"
Zhou Dagu took a deep breath. For him, anything that can be settled with money is not a big deal: "Old housekeeper, can you agree that we can settle the debts of our two families with only one hundred taels?"
The old man nodded and smiled: "It seems that you, Zhou Dagu, have benefited from being at the border and are confident! Of course, as long as you can pay off the debt, our family will naturally have no debts. But, you kid, think about it, this is one hundred taels!"
Zhou Dagu nodded: "Okay, come three days later in the evening, I will give you one hundred taels!"
He knew well that although he could not make salt, he could still make sugar, but he really couldn't be a dealer in second-hand poetry.
Big Win is a world where Confucian scholars are at the top, and talented people will never suffer losses anywhere.
If all of these fail, he can still run!
He is not a big winner at heart, so how can he be honest! He is a genuine profiteer.
The old housekeeper nodded and smiled: "Just accept the account! That's fine, then there will be nothing to do with us. I will come to get the money in the evening three days later!"
"Remember to clean up your guest room for me. If you can't get the money, I'll stay for half a night and take the bride away directly!"
"Then let's get out of the way!"
Zhou Dagu looked at him doubtfully.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open.
A line of policemen entered the yard, and the headman pointed at Zhou Dagu with a big knife: "Are you Zhou Dagu?"
Before Zhou Dagu could speak, the old housekeeper pointed at him: "That's it, that's him!"
"Get it!" the head catcher ordered, and the two catchers held chains and locked up Zhou Dagu.
Zhou Dagu took a step back and pointed to the sky: "How dare you? I am a scholar who entered the country. I cannot punish a scholar without evidence. Don't you know this is a great victory for the ancestral system!"
The catcher sneered: "You are indeed a nerd. This is the ancestral system that has won the big victory, but this ancestral system cannot control Xiangzhou. Scholars are always given priority in the world, but we in Xiangzhou are the only exception!"
"In our Xiangzhou, military households are the top priority. Now... your desertion has happened, and you can't escape!"
"Why are you still standing there, take down this nerd!"
The two police officers, who were strong and strong, took Zhou Dagu's hands and put them in cuffs. After Zhou Dagu entered the country, his body was not a problem against the two strong men.
Unfortunately, he is too weak now and has no strength to resist.
Zhou Ruyi looked at him with red eyes: "Brother, what should I do!"
At this moment, if he still doesn’t understand what it means, Zhou Dagu should be really stupid!
The collusion between government and businessmen is indeed an old trick. This old guy has no chance to make money for himself at all.
In other words, this matter is not about money at all.
They are obviously going to swallow their own girl!
Damn the king, Zhou Dagu cursed secretly: "Ruyi, wait until I come back, don't worry, big brother will be fine!"
He turned to look at the old butler: "Try to play with me, you really don't know who the sinister ancestor is!"
Folks gathered outside the door.
Zhou Dalang entered his house on a moonlit night and entered the official residence at sunset.
Yi Lao Ji saw Zhou Dalang and rushed towards him: "Da Gu! We are all from the same village. Please tell me where my second son has gone. You all went out together!"
The policeman pressed Zhou Dagu into the prison car.
Zhou Dagu turned around and shouted: "Grandma Wu, we are not deserters. Don't worry, your son is not a deserter either. I will come back! I will definitely come back!"
"Sister, everyone, wait for me, Zhou Dagu, to come back!"
The arrester was disdainful and raised his riding whip: "What a shame, the captain of Yumen Pass has already informed all the state capitals!"
"When the demons came, you ran away! You were greedy for life and afraid of death, and you acted like we Cai County people!"
Zhou Dagu stared at him: "We didn't run away, we killed the demon barbarian, and we finally followed the adults from the capital to perform the mission!"
"They all died in the hands of demons and barbarians. We did not escape. We are not deserters!"
The whip in the catcher's hand was raised high, looking into Zhou Dagu's eyes, feeling inexplicable fear in his heart, but the whip never fell!
