The poppi quickly touched the little girl's pink buttocks, turned around and wanted to run away, but didn't want the little Miao girl to be very hot-tempered, she screamed, jumped up as if stung by a scorpion, and turned her backhand He took out a sickle from the basket and threw it out without thinking.
The scythe missed the target, and flew past the rogue's ear, frightened the rogue to sit on the ground, and the sickle hit the big wine urn in a wine shop opposite, with a "dang", the wine urn broke a hole , the wine gushed out.
There happened to be a middle-aged woman dressed in a sky-blue gown with slanted breasts and large sleeves, a blue-white kerchief on her head, and embroidered shoes with embroidered shoes, a middle-aged woman dressed as a typical Han woman. Walking over with a smile, the wine suddenly spurted out, pouring it all over her head and face.
The middle-aged woman was so stung that she couldn't open her eyes, the women who were walking with her immediately started yelling. The shopkeeper of the wine shop is a man of Yi nationality. Seeing that the wine urn was broken, he rushed out angrily and wanted to argue with the Miao woman who threw the sickle.
The girl from the Miao family threw out the sickle, and pointed at Popi who was sitting on the ground and made a series of crisp and anxious sounds. The sound was nice, but she could tell from her expression that she was swearing. Before the little girl finished swearing, she rushed up. Going forward, a pair of bare thighs kicked regardless of their heads or buttocks.
Hearing the girl scolding in her native language, several Miao men who happened to be passing by were furious immediately, and immediately surrounded the Popi. He was aggressive, with a bad look on his face, and did not match his words, so he immediately raised his hands.
The men from the Miao family only said that they were gangsters who wanted to make trouble for the Miao girl, and they were merciless. The shopkeeper and clerk of the wine shop were also violent men, and they immediately retaliated without giving way.
The screams of the women attracted a few soldiers who were shopping. When the soldiers saw the middle-aged woman who couldn't keep their eyes open, they immediately surrounded them. It seemed that they all knew each other. The aunt chattered, and they immediately turned around and rushed to the chaotic battlefield, not knowing whether to ask the wine shop owner for compensation or the old Miao girl to argue.
At this time, the long street was already in chaos. Both sides fought fiercely, using everything they grabbed as weapons. For a while, baskets, saucers, cups, plates, jewelry and heads rose one after another. The people of the tribe were fighting with others, and they immediately helped each other without asking why.
Those soldiers rushed into the crowd, and before they could find their master, they were mistakenly punched a few times by both sides in the scuffle. From a melee between the two sides to a war of the Three Kingdoms.
The entire bustling market has turned into a chaotic battlefield. How can shopkeepers whose goods have been damaged or used as weapons be willing to give up? Immediately, the woman at the gate closed the door and led the guys to join the battle group, no matter which side it is , Just beat to vent your anger.
Leaning out half of a body from a building, glanced downstairs, and immediately turned around excitedly and shouted. After a while, four or five people ran out and leaned on the railing on the second floor to watch the excitement happily. Holding a teapot in one hand and a teacup in the other.
"Who are these people!"
Ye Xiaotian was feeling unbelievable when someone threw a shoe into the air and it fell on the man's cup. The man was furious, picked up the teapot in his hand and smashed it down hard.
"The people here are too aggressive!"
Ye Xiaotian, who came from the capital, has never seen such a world before. He was speechless when he saw the murder caused by touching his butt, and said to himself: "My God, what kind of place is this!"
A man selling wild medicine next to him was squatting on the ground, and while quickly picking up the messed up herbs, he said to him with a smile: "Little brother, are you from another place? Don't worry, we often do this here. It's fine after that. Do you need bruise medicine? It's cheaper for you... Ouch."
A man who hurried past stepped on the hand of the wild medicine seller, and the wild medicine seller roared: "Do you have eyes, you bastard?" With a tiger pounce, he threw the man down On the ground, the two immediately scuffled.
Ye Xiaotian said in shock: "It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go!" He picked up Le Yao, and was about to turn around and run away, when he suddenly saw the woman who was drenched in wine with her eyes closed and her hands fluttering around, looking extremely dangerous.
Those soldiers were also a little confused. Maybe they didn't expect the melee to be so chaotic at first, so no one was left to protect her. When they started fighting, the entire long street was plunged into chaos. In chaos, I can't even care about her.
At the beginning, the other women were protecting her and fleeing, but they were dispersed later, and seeing that the scene was really dangerous, they were so frightened that they fled away, ignoring her. Ye Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, but still rushed over, supported her and said, "Don't panic, ma'am, come with me!"
Ye Xiaotian was carrying a big burden on his back, holding Leyao in his right hand, and the middle-aged woman in his left hand, slipped away and fled, followed by Shui Wu, and didn't care about that Fuwa, Fuwa was so cute, He followed closely behind her, but he didn't get lost.
Ye Xiaotian escaped from the center of the melee, rushed to the intersection, took a breath, raised his head suddenly, and saw more than a dozen yamen servants in green clothes and silk hats walking towards this side with their arms swaying, Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed, and quickly let go of the middle-aged woman, He shouted loudly: "Master, come quickly, there are people fighting in the front street."
The dozen or so yamen servants were lazily walking around. Upon hearing this, the person in front of him immediately widened his eyes, pulled out the measuring ruler from his waist with a "chuo", and shouted pretentiously: "Who dares to stand in the street?" The fight disturbed the law and order in this county?"
This person was probably a squad leader, leading a dozen or so yamen servants to rush to the street entrance and look inside. Without farting, he immediately turned around and pointed the measuring stick to the empty space in front of him. He shouted loudly: "Don't leave! The crime of violent resisting arrest will be increased!"
While talking, the team leader led a group of yamen servants and ran away like flying away. Ye Xiaotian stood there dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
The middle-aged woman squinted her eyes, stroked Ye Xiaotian's arm, and said to him: "Young man, thank you, you can't count on this kind of local government officials, the old man's eyes are burning, please help me back Clean up the house."
"Oh! Oh oh..." Ye Xiaotian woke up, looked at the scene of the desperate fight with lingering fear, and helped the woman to leave in a hurry.
※※※
The old woman was tearful and was helped by Ye Xiaotian to her home. Her home has a very delicate courtyard, although it is not luxurious, it is very elegant. White walls and black tiles, wooden doors and windows carved with beautiful patterns, and even the water leaks in the corners of the yard are meticulously carved.
With blue bricks, small tiles and horse-head walls, and latticed windows hanging in the corridor, the whole small courtyard house has a strong Jianghuai flavor. When you see it suddenly, you almost forget that you are in the deep mountains of Guizhou. I thought it was a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The old woman's eyes were red from washing, she was talking to Ye Xiaotian while wiping her face with a towel. Ye Xiaotian said: "Ma'am, is your surname Ye? My nephew and you are in the same family. Ma'am's official language is very good. Did you just move here?"
Aunt Ye smiled and said: "I am from Nanjing, from Yingtianfu. But I didn't just move here. Madam, I am a native of this place. Our Ye family has been here since the Hongwu period. Sit down, young man, you Sit, you all sit."
Aunt Ye sat down on the bench opposite, and said with a smile: "Back then, General Fu led an army of 300,000 troops from the south of the Yangtze River to go to Yunnan and Guizhou under the order of Emperor Hongwu to wipe out the Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty. The ancestors of the family came here with the army.
After the Tartars fled, Emperor Hongwu ordered the 300,000 troops and their families to garrison the fields, and our family stayed here. Speaking of which, that happened more than 200 years ago, but the Han people in our army never intermarry with foreigners, so the accent has not changed at all. "
The aunt glanced at Xue Shuiwu, and said with a smile: "You and your wife are relatives? Your wife is so handsome! Young man, you are lucky."
Xue Shuiwu blushed, and defended feebly in a voice as thin as gossamer: "It's a sister, not a daughter-in-law." It's a pity that others with a low voice can't hear it at all. She has been misunderstood more than once along the way, which made her a little immune. But once it is misunderstood, it is still a little embarrassing.
Ye Xiaotian blushed and said: "Ma'am, your old eyes are really good! Look at your old family is not bad, what does the family do for a living?"
Aunt Ye said: "My wife has passed away a long time ago, and there is only one son by my side. My son is a local inspector. Not bad."
Ye Xiaotian was slightly taken aback, inspector, that is a ninth-rank military officer, with a rank, he is a life officer. Regardless of the smallness of the official, in this kind of place, he can be regarded as a big man with a head and a face. I didn't expect that I would save the old lady of a military officer unintentionally.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Brother is really capable. In this kind of place, an inspector is more prestigious than a third-rank official in the capital."
Aunt Ye said: "Hey, the inspector of my family is a world official, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, so it's not his ability."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Auntie, my nephew thinks it's wrong for you to say this all the time. The officials handed down from the ancestors are called incompetent? Do you have to resign from the office and work hard from the beginning with your own ability? Everyone has ancestors, is there any Convinced, let his ancestors also go to the battlefield to earn some merit and come back.
Besides, having a good father is of course not necessarily promising, but if you don't have a good father, then you must be worthless. Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, the famous generals in the world, aren't all the generals who can fight are hereditary military officers
General Yu is hereditary from hundreds of households, and General Qi is hereditary to command affairs, aren't they all hereditary officials? General Qi inherited his father's official position when he was ten years old, and became a fourth-rank military general in the current dynasty. Who would dare to say that he relied on Lao Tzu and did not have real skills? "
Ye Xiaotian's mouth made people feel as if they had been filled with honey, which made Aunt Ye smile. Aunt Ye patted her clothes and stood up, smiling: "Sit down, you young couple, let the children play in the yard." , the old lady cooks first, and will call your elder brother back later, thank you very much for your lifesaver."
Now that Shui Wu has arrived in Hu County and is close to his hometown, he is ready to return home, and he doesn't want to stay in Hu County any longer. Hearing this, he quietly pulled Ye Xiaotian's lapel, and Ye Xiaotian stood up and said: "Some small things, Ma'am, you are too polite. Seeing that your eyes are still swollen, please take a good rest. We have something to go to the county office, so don't bother."
