Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 11, Don Tiger
When Liu Jin and Zhao Erhu came under the old tree in the village, the place was already very lively. There were more than 40 households in the village, and every household came to pick out the salt that had been boiled in the past half a month. come out.

You have a load, I have a basket, and it is inevitable that they will compare each other and chat with each other. The day of selling salt is the most lively day in the village, and it is also a rare rest day for everyone in a month.

As for the children in the village, they were even more excited at this time, playing and playing in groups. They sold salt at home, and if they had a few pennies, they might buy some snacks. There will definitely be more noodles than usual.

Surrounding the old eucalyptus tree in the middle of the village, all the young and old in the village gathered.

"Old Zhao, your family is fine. In the past half a month, you have cooked 2 loads of salt, probably more than 200 catties?"

Zhao Heishan and his eldest son Zhao Dahu were guarding the two loads of salt, and the old man next to him looked at the two loads of salt in Zhao Heishan's house and couldn't help but said.

"It's a full 230 catties. I've already weighed it at home."

Zhao Heishan grinned and said with a smile.

It was only at this time that he could see a smile. Usually, his face was dark and he couldn't see the slightest smile.

"Tsk tsk, it's good if there are more people. My family can't do it. I only cooked less than 80 catties in the past half month."

Old man Wang said enviously that old man Wang only has 4 sons, and now it is the busy season of farming. The family is busy farming during the day, and only at night can they spare time to cook some salt, and the output is limited.

"A lot of people means a lot of work, but there are also a lot of mouths to eat. It's not like you don't know that I'm a kid who eats to death."

After hearing this, Zhao Heishan nodded again and again. When it came to this matter, the wrinkles on his face seemed to get deeper.

"Liu Xiucai is here."

Old man Wang nodded, then looked around, and happened to see Liu Jin and Zhao Erhu walking over.

"This brat is messing around with Brother Jin again, and I don't know what he's been up to lately."

Zhao Heishan saw Zhao Erhu behind Liu Jin, and couldn't help cursing. When the house was busy, Zhao Erhu always found excuses to avoid work, which made Zhao Heishan wish he could find a stick to beat Zhao Erhu to death. Even Zhao Erhu was furious.

"Hello, Uncle Li~"

"Hello Uncle Wu"

"Grandpa Zhou is good~"

Liu Jin kept saying hello to the people in the village along the way. Liu Jin was very popular in the village. When selling salt in the past, Liu Jin would also come to help the villagers to check, so as not to be bullied by the salt dealer and Tang Huhu, so everyone respected Liu Jin. He also had a good impression, and everyone he saw greeted him one after another.

"Uncle Black Mountain~"

"Grandpa Wang~"

"Brother Tiger~"

Soon, Liu Jin came to Zhao Heishan and greeted Zhao Heishan, Old Man Wang and Zhao Dahu with a smile.

Zhao Dahu was the same as Zhao Erhu, tall and tall at 1 meters, and he was also honest and honest. Seeing Liu Jin greet him, he smiled and patted his head.

"Brother Jin~"

Zhao Heishan and Lao Wangtou also replied.

"Brother Jin, you shouldn't come out at this time. If Mr. Tang's people see that you are fine, they may trouble you again soon."

Zhao Heishan looked at Liu Jin, and couldn't help reminding him kindly.

"If I don't come out, he also knows that I'm fine. Sooner or later, he will trouble me. If he can escape the first day of junior high school, but not the fifth day of junior high school, what should come will still come."

Liu Jin smiled and said helplessly.

"Oh, you have to be more careful in the future."

"Gouzi, you follow Brother Jin every day, so I won't say anything about you, but you must protect Brother Jin. If anything happens to him, I will beat you to death."

Zhao Heishan sighed, then thought for a while and said to Zhao Erhu next to Liu Jin.

Zhao Erhu likes to follow Liu Jin, so he just let Zhao Erhu protect Liu Jin, the kindness of Liu Jin's family will always be repaid, even if the son is gone, he has nothing to say.

Although he, Zhao Heishan, is honest and poor, but he also has his own principles of dealing with people, knowing how to repay kindness, and he has been silently repaying Liu Jin's family's kindness all the time.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt Brother Jin."

Hearing this, Zhao Heishan immediately smiled, which means that in the future he will hang out with Liu Jin, and his father will not care about it at all. This is a good thing, and of course he is speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone in the village called him Gouzi, including his parents, but only Liu Jin called him Huzi, and only Liu Jin would give him braised pork. Although he is simple, he is not stupid and knows good and bad.

"Come on, come on, the salt collector is here."

While the few people were chatting, someone shouted excitedly, and then everyone looked towards the entrance of the village. There was a man in a black dress with a bamboo hat on his back, and the bamboo hat was okay here. Seeing the handle of the knife, a man with an empty basket on his shoulder came over.

Then, behind this person, one after another, people in the same costume formed a row, there were dozens of them, walking towards the middle of the village like a long dragon.

These people are all strong and tall, and a sturdy aura is coming towards them, making the villagers in Xiahetun both excited and slightly nervous. They used to play and fight in groups The children also hid one by one by their own family members.

"Those who dare to do private salt trading really have a few brushes. The clothes, outfits and the like are actually made into a uniform style. This posture is easy to mess with just by looking at it. Naturally, it will save a lot of trouble."

Liu Jin couldn't help but nodded as he looked at the dozens of private salt dealers.

This kind of uniform and uniform is very popular in later generations. Whether it is a school, a company, or even a class, they all have their own uniform and uniform, and they must wear it when they are in a team action. , let people know at a glance.

Dozens of private salt dealers came in in a single line, followed by a few people. The leader was wearing brocade clothes and a staff cap on his head. His face was fat and short, and his triangular eyes were like snakes with silky eyes. There was a cold light, a big belly, and he was playing with something in his hand.

Behind him was a man dressed like a housekeeper, holding an abacus and ledger in his hand, and at the same time, two strong men with wooden sticks and dressed as servants followed him.

"Master Tang~"

"Tang Tiger is here."

Hearing a slight sound, Liu Jin couldn't help staring at Tang Huo carefully.

This Tang Huo had obviously accumulated power for a long time. People in the village were afraid when they saw it. There was a bit of festive atmosphere at first, but it disappeared completely with Tang Hu's arrival.

Liu Jin even saw some children trembling with fright, which actually had the effect of stopping the children from crying. These villagers were more scared than the private salt dealers.

Soon, Tang Huhu and his entourage came to the center of the village. They glanced at the villagers in Xiahetun with their triangular eyes, and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. Some people were even frightened. shivering.

Tang Huhu is very satisfied with this effect, and he has been working tirelessly for this effect all the time. He just wants to make everyone afraid of him, so that he can ride on them and do his best, letting him do whatever he wants. fish.

But when he saw Liu Jin, especially when he saw a little smile on the corner of Liu Jin's mouth, all the good mood disappeared completely.

"This Liu Xiucai, a dog's life, will not die like that."

"Gouyazi is really useless, he can't do a little thing well."

Tang Huhu couldn't help cursing like this in his heart, Liu Xiucai was the only person in Xiahetun who dared to fight with him, and he wanted to kill Liu Xiucai not only because of Liu Jin's family's ten acres of land, but more importantly, He can't tolerate anyone challenging his authority.

The last time Liu Jin came to the door in a hurry, he just didn't do anything, wanted to kill Liu Jin to kill chickens and scare monkeys, and by the way, he tried to embezzle Liu Jin's more than ten acres of land.

"Liu Xiucai, I was really sorry that I caused you to fall and get injured last time. I heard that you are fine, so I decided to come and have a look."

Tang Huhu came to Liu Jin's side, squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

When Tang Huhu arrived, Zhao Heishan, Zhao Dahu, Wang Laotou and others nearby immediately moved away like a mouse seeing a cat. Only Zhao Erhu leaned tightly beside Liu Jin, and at the same time looked nervously at Tang Huhu.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your concern. I'm fine."

Liu Jin replied calmly, as if he didn't have any intention of pursuing what happened last time.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Tang Huhu smiled and nodded. Seeing that Liu Jin was not angry, he was slightly surprised. Liu Jin used to be very proud of a scholar, and he didn't have a good face towards him.

He just asked someone to cut off the water in his field, and this Liu Jin rushed to his house to make trouble, not afraid of himself, Tang Hu, at all.

Of course, Liu Jin was a scholar, and a scholar had a high status in the Ming Dynasty. He had teachers, classmates, contemporaries, etc. Unlike other villagers in Xiahetun, he did not have any network of connections.

Originally, Tang Huhu didn't want to touch Liu Jin. Although Liu Jin didn't win the exam, he was still a scholar and a scholar. If something happened, if the higher authorities tracked it down, he would be in trouble.

But Liu Jin repeatedly challenged his might, which made Tang Huo very annoyed, and what happened last time happened. Unexpectedly, it is very ordinary now. It seems that he has suffered all of a sudden. Mess with yourself again.

"That's good, it saves a lot of trouble. As long as you don't provoke me in the future, I won't bother to talk to you. People are cheap bones. Only after suffering will you understand how powerful I am."

Tang Huhu is still very satisfied with Liu Jin's current performance. It seems that Liu Jin seems to be afraid of himself, which makes him feel better again.

Just thinking of the smile on the corner of Liu Jin's mouth just now, a cold light flashed in Tang Huhu's eyes again, thinking that it would be better for him to cut the weeds and root them out.
