Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 2 Mrs. Wei, Brother Shao and Yulian (2)

Today's Brother Shao is no longer the young man Fu Shi used to know.

His original name was Liu Qiang, and he was a modern man. Four years ago, I suddenly woke up and found that I had become an ancient boy from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. He was thrown as a dead person in a mass grave outside Hezhong City, and was later brought back to life by a strange old Taoist priest. Then he gradually figured out that he "died" in the battle of Guo Weiping's rebellion against Li Shouzhen in the later Han Dynasty.

The old man claimed to have cultivated into a half-immortal, known as Sleeping Immortal and Fuyaozi. The reason why Liu Qiang was rescued was because he felt that the aura of the five elements in his body was very contradictory. His face seemed to belong to water, but his body had an aura of fire. Liu Qiang was very scared at the time, fearing that the old man would take him to the alchemy furnace to study, so he wanted to escape when he looked for an opportunity; but he didn't escape, and was chased by the old man. Of course Liu Qiang would not eat his elixir, he accepted the elixir and thanked him before leaving.

Then he mixed in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms as an ancient person. The concern of the past life has faded away in the long four years; but there are always three or two things, I am afraid that time cannot heal. There are some regrets, some concerns, and some unfulfilled wishes.

...

"Kuang kuang..." Hammer after hammer, he was still forging iron. He fought not the iron for sale, but a breastplate.

The setting sun has disappeared deep into the tall Chongmingmen tower, leaving a brilliant orange-red afterglow in the western sky, making the ancient tower even more majestic and majestic. The non-stop heavy physical labor all day made the strong brother Shao a little bit too much. He felt his shoulders were weak and his mind was dizzy.

Guo Shao had an impression of the noble lady he saw before, which came from his memory, the memory of a "young man". In particular, the picture that a person saw before dying is extra clear when reawakened... The increasingly blurred vision, the skirt that is fading away in the distance, the slender figure, the young man lying on the ground struggling to stretch out his bloody right hand, he seems to want to grab something, or he wants to look back at the beautiful woman one last time and look at her again. The picture of sight finally freezes.

"Bang!" Guo Shao swung his hammer very hard. The boy Lang in his memory was too young, and he hadn't understood what was going on in this world in his short life. His obsession with "Bai Fumei" Fu's family was unacceptable to the current Guo Shao.

But one thing is certain, how much a person's belief or desire is, he is willing to pay as much price and effort for it.

At this time, Yulian in the back room called for dinner, and she had already prepared the meal. The old man pulling the bellows got up to fetch water, and said, "Brother Shao, the sun has gone down, so we can do it tomorrow."

"You eat first, just leave me a piece of cake, don't wait for me, the lady of the Chen family has to hurry back to cook for her man after eating." Guo Shao said without looking back, "I'll make a few more hammers to finish this armor. I don't have time tomorrow. I have to go to the school grounds to nod my head early in the morning."

The old man asked: "Is the forbidden army really going abroad to fight?"

Guo Shao responded casually.

This shop is Guo Shao's property, and he bought it with the accumulated military salary. There are three people in total, but they are not a family. The old man's surname is Huang and the young daughter-in-law Yulian are all hired people. Old man Huang is an old blacksmith in the countryside. He sells hoes, kitchen knives and other utensils. The sales and prices of these things are far lower than those of shops in Tokyo;

And the young daughter-in-law of the Chen family, Yulian, had a very coincidental origin. In my memory, when the "Young Man" was working as a guard in Li Shouzhen's mansion a few years ago, she was a maid in Li's mansion. Guo Shao learned that her life was very difficult, so nostalgic, he hired her to do some odd jobs in his blacksmith shop; in fact, she probably took most of the money earned in the shop, because Guo Shao spent many days in the Imperial Army when he was on duty.

Her name was Yulian, and it was said that her surname was Dong, but maybe it was just a surname she made up at will.

The man in Yulian's family had a broken leg and couldn't work, and she was a young woman who was doing laundry and cooking at a bachelor's house, so rumors and gossip were inevitable. Guo Shao doesn't care about it, but it seems to be very difficult for her... It is obviously not a pleasant thing to be gossip. It is often seen that Yulian lowers her head when she goes out, walks very fast, and does not talk to anyone.

Gradually, the night fell completely, and Guo Shao finally put down his work. The stalls outside had been closed, so he used wooden boards to inlay them and closed the door. The entire wall of the blacksmith shop was open, and there were not so big door panels as doors. In his opinion, this kind of mosaic-style wooden boards is equivalent to the rolling shutter doors of later generations.

When Guo Shao walked into the backyard, he saw that the food on the table in the dining room had not been touched, Yulian was sweeping the floor with a broom, and Lao Huang was sitting on the threshold repairing a pair of iron tongs. It was only then that Guo Shao realized that the ancient rules of high and low were laid on the table and the rules were not obscure at all. He was the youngest but the master.

The staple food is soup cakes, made of white flour, which is probably the material guarantee for keeping people. In this era, needless to say, famine and starvation land, even the rich local landowners are reluctant to eat white flour.

After dinner was packed, Yulian was in a hurry to leave. Seeing that it was already dark outside, Guo Shao went out from the back door to a dark alley in her house, so he got up and said, "I'll see you off."

Yulian quickly waved her hands and said, "No need, Guo Lang rested earlier, and I'll make breakfast tomorrow morning."

Guo Shao insisted: "Tokyo just looks peaceful."

Yulian picked up the prepared basket, and Guo Shao followed her out through the back door, and there was an alley outside. In this commercial neighborhood, there are shops facing the street in front, and a tall and narrow alley in the back to save space; merchants and craftsmen live in the back, and often throw some garbage into the gutter in the alley. If it does not rain for a few days, there will be an unpleasant stench in the alley.

Yulian, who was walking in front, lowered her head, looking timid and embarrassed, and looked back and forth quickly from time to time, as if she was afraid of meeting someone she knew. Guo Shao walked behind and admired her back quietly. In fact, her figure is very good, with a slender waist and flexible hips that can hold up the skirt to form beautiful wrinkles. The patched gray cloth cross-neck jacket and the white neck formed a sharp contrast, which reminded people of lotus flowers in the mud.

"What's the matter?" Yulian turned her head and saw Guo Shao's eyes were strange, she couldn't help but ask.

Guo Shao shook his head and raised his chin towards the front door: "You are here, go in."

"Yeah." Yulian seemed to want to say something polite, she was stunned for a moment and fled silently into the old house.

The light of the oil lamp was lit on the window made of bamboo paper, and suddenly there was a loud "pop", followed by a woman's scream, and a man's voice cursed: "Shameless slut! She stole a man again!"

"I can't walk with my legs, and my ears are still not deaf! If you have the guts, you will collude with that adulterer and kill me!"

Guo Shao heard it clearly from outside. Although he sympathized with Yulian, he was helpless. No matter who heard the gossip about his wife and other people, he might not be able to bear it... But he is innocent. Maybe the man from the Chen family hasn't fully understood his situation. He will either survive in humiliation or die in the current situation. Besides, can he really blame his wife?

Soon a man's voice was heard again: "Wine! Wine! No more wine!"

Yulian's voice was so small that she couldn't really hear it, she didn't know what she said, and suddenly heard a ping-pong-pong sound, the woman's cry was very miserable.

Guo Shao was furious after hearing this, and looked down, there were some firewood beside him, he picked up one and walked forward. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Yulian covered her face with one hand, and ran out with tears in her arms, she was taken aback when she saw Guo Shao.

She immediately noticed the wooden stick in Guo Shao's hand and the murderous look on his face, her desolate expression turned into fear, and she said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do? The neighbors are spreading rumors. If you beat him to death, the government won't know?"

Someone in the house yelled, "Who are you talking to?"

Gritting her teeth, Yulian waved her hand to signal Guo Shao to leave quickly. At this moment, the people in the room yelled again: "Anyway, you are so obscene | cheap, go to wait on that adult | husband all night, don't you have money to buy wine? Haha..."

"Kaka" the firewood was pinched by Guo Shao and made a toothache sound. During practice, you can stretch the arm strength of the three-stone strong bow. If you swing a firewood and hit it at one person, I am afraid that either the bone will be broken or the firewood will be broken!

Yulian held her breath and stared straight at his face, her eyes sparkling, waiting for something. There was pleading in his expression, but it also seemed to be filled with excitement and anticipation.

"I'm not sure yet." Guo Shao said coldly, then bent down and put the firewood in his hand into the pile of firewood calmly and lightly.

Yulian looked at his back, a little puzzled... not sure what to do? A young man who is strong and has served in the army, isn't he sure that he can beat a disabled person who can't even stand up?

Lights were temporarily turned on in several nearby windows, and the movement here may have aroused the great interest of the aunts and mothers-in-law, and it was difficult to hide Brother Shao's whereabouts. The right way is that if you want people not to know, you have to do nothing.
