The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 18
In the following 20 days, Duan Yanqing and Duan Wuji waited on him day and night, serving tea and water, and serving excrement and urine.Just feed seven or eight times a day.

After careful care during this period, the big man gradually regained his strength.

Now he is able to say a few words, but every time he speaks, Duan Yanqing stops him.

"Brother, don't talk, just rest and rest. When the body is completely recovered, we have plenty of time to chat."

After several times of persuasion, the big man really stopped talking, and went to sleep every day after eating, and ate when he woke up.

After another seven or eight days of recuperation, the big man was able to barely sit up.

During this period of time, Duan Wuji practiced less martial arts, and he walked around the big man all day long to serve him.

This morning Duan Yanqing finished feeding his breakfast, the big man sat up forcefully, looked at Duan Yanqing and said: "Thank you very much for Engong's family, without you, I might have died long ago.

Hey, benefactor, where is this? "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "This is the realm of Taiyuan Mansion, our place is called Duanjiazhuang, our people moved here from Duanjiaji, and that Duanjiaji is only three or four miles away from us. When it comes to Duan Jiaji Hundred and Eighty Miles, everyone knows it.

Hey, strong man, where are you from?What's your name? "

The big man heard this and said: "I am from Luzhou, and I live in a village eight miles away from Luzhou City. Our village is called Erxianzhuang.

My surname is Shan, the single character name is Tong, and the character is Xiongxin.Because I am the second child, people call me Dan Eryuanwai.

When I was young, it may be due to the lack of some kind of nutrition, my hair grew a little red, and the folks called me the Red-haired Lingguan for me.

Hey, benefactor, may I ask your honor and name? "

Duan Yanqing listened with a smile: "My surname is Duan, and my name is Duan Yanqing. In the future, don't call me graciously. In fact, the second boy of our family who rescued you this time is the one who often waits on you these days. That kid, he carried you back. I just waited on you for a few days."

The big man nodded. "Then what is the name of the little benefactor?"

"He, his first name is Duan Wuji, and his nickname is Er Dan. Well, that nickname is only called by his mother and his own brother. If others call him that, I'm afraid he won't be happy."

The man was amused when he heard this, and said to himself: Whatever his nickname is, I just need to remember his first name.

After talking to this big man, he knew that Duan Yanqing was an honest person.

"Benefactor, what did this little benefactor do? Why haven't I seen him for so long?"

"He? Maybe he went to herd cattle again. Well, his brother has been herding cattle for him for almost a month, and it's time to replace his brother.

Brother, is there anything you can do with him? "

The big man said quickly after hearing this: "I'm in good health, and I haven't even said a word of thanks to him, how can I feel sorry?

Since it was the little brother who saved me, then you and I should not be called brothers from now on, that's not good, you should be my elder. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said, "Are you willing to call a child a brother? I think it's better to forget it."

"How can I do that? I asked Wuji to save me, and I went to their house to pretend to be a senior? That would also let friends in the Jianghu know that I was a joke for bullying children, and I was despised by others."

Duan Yanqing chuckled: "Then you can do whatever you want, but you and I are far apart, and we may not have the chance to meet in the future, so it doesn't matter what we call you."

The big man shook his head.

"I said, old man, as the saying goes, if two hills can't meet, can these two people not meet.

Besides, my Luzhou is not too far from here, only a few hundred miles away. If you ride a fast horse, it can be said that the morning will come at night, even if you walk, it will only take three to five days.

How can we stop dating? "

Duan Yanqing was speechless at the words.Duan Yanqing stood up and said to Shan Xiongxin: "Lie here for a while, let me see if the porridge I made for you is done."

After hearing this, Shan Xiongxin had no choice but to lie down again.

Not long after, Duan Yanqing walked in with a bowl of hot porridge.Duan Yanqing just wanted to feed him.

Shan Xiongxin smiled and shook his head. "Uncle, give me the bowl and let me do it myself."

"Then can you do it?"

"I'm impatient, let me try!"

This Shan Xiongxin was indeed a tough guy, he took the bowl and finished the porridge one bite at a time, then handed the bowl back.

Duan Yanqing was very happy to see him and said: "Well, in this way, you will be able to ride home in ten and a half months."

Shan Xiongxin smiled and nodded. "Well, I hope so."

After finishing speaking, Shan Xiongxin lay down again, and after a while, Shan Xiongxin fell asleep again.

When it was getting dark, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu drove the cattle back from outside.

Duan Wuji blasted the cow into the cowshed, then closed the door of the cowshed, and went home for dinner together with Tie Niu.

At the dining table, Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji with a smile and said: "Wuji, the person you saved is almost healed, today he ate with a bowl by himself.

This person is from Luzhou, Shanxi, with a surname of Shan Mingtong and a style name of Xiongxin. You will meet him later.There is an elder brother in this family, who is the second child, known as Shan Er Yuanwai.

I see this man as a rich man. "

Liu Caihua laughed and said, "So what about the rich? The head of the family, he ate and drank at our house for more than a month, and he didn't waste our money.

The head of the family, take the time to talk to him and ask him to return the money to our family. Who do you think our small family can afford to help? "

Duan Yanqing took a look at his wife and said: "You old woman knows money, he didn't spend us much for more than a month, at most he cost us a dozen taels of silver.

With this little money, how can I ask others to ask for it? "

After hearing this, Duan Changsheng said, "Father, isn't this ten taels too little? This is our family's income for the past three years!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "In my opinion, let's just forget about it. As the saying goes, you don't expect to be rewarded for your kindness. When I saved him, I didn't expect him to get anything in return.

Besides, who doesn't have a difficult time? "

Duan Wuji put down the bowl and chopsticks, then stood up.

"Mother, eat slowly, I'm going back to the courtyard of the cowshed to practice martial arts."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji stepped out.

Liucaihua shook her head when she saw it. "Oh, Wuji is good in everything, but he's just a little silly, just like you."

Duan Wuji smiled. "Can you and my child not follow me? You said that if you follow the old king next door, it will be fine."

Liucaihua gave her husband a hard look. "Boss, you're so rude, it really pissed me off."

After speaking, Liu Caihua dropped her chopsticks and went into the back room.

Duan Changsheng saw his father who stabbed him with his hand. "Father, my mother is really angry, go and coax her quickly."

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing stood up helplessly and went straight to the back room.

Duan Wuji returned to the yard where he raised the cattle, and immediately practiced his fists and kicks. After practicing for a long time, he danced a few times with the staff, and finally practiced the soul chasing sword technique. After all the kung fu was practiced, Duan Wuji suddenly Looking up, I saw the big man he rescued was standing there leaning on the door frame.

When Duan Wuji saw him, he hurried over to say hello.

"Hey, why did you run out? Can your body take it?"

Shan Xiongxin laughed when he heard this.

"I don't have much patience anymore, I heard you practicing martial arts in the house, so I came out to have a look.

In fact, I also practice martial arts, little brother, you practice well!

Hey, little brother, who did you learn this martial arts from?
It looks like this stick technique is Shaolin Kungfu, but this sword technique is like Taoist Kungfu.

What about your boxing style? Well, I really can’t tell. You say it’s Shaolin’s Kungfu, but it’s a bit like it, but it’s not like it. You say it’s Taoist Kungfu, but it’s a bit like Shaolin’s Kungfu.

Hey, I can't tell. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Maybe let's not talk about it. To put it bluntly, my boxing and kicking skills are just playing around, it is just training and training the body, there is no other meaning."

Shan Xiongxin smiled and said nothing.

Duan Wuji came over and grabbed Shan Xiongxin.

"Second brother, hurry back to the house and rest.

When you lie down, I'll bring you porridge. "

Shan Xiongxin smiled. "Then thank you little brother."

As he spoke, Duan Wuji helped him back to the house.

After Shan Xiongxin lay down, Duan Wuji immediately ran home and brought over the millet porridge made by his mother.

After helping Shan Xiongxin to finish eating, Duan Wuji put the bowl back again.

Duan Wuji said to his mother: "Mother, let's put more rice in the porridge tomorrow.

You see, this big brother has recovered, how can he suffer from eating such thin porridge? "

Willow cauliflower nodded. "Well, I see. You can rest assured."

Duan Wuji went back to his little room and started chatting with Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin asked: "Little brother, are you alone in this room?"

"No, there is also my distant cousin, since you came here, he has no place to live, and now he runs back and forth all day long.

Eat at our house in the morning, noon and evening, and go back in the evening. Fortunately, it is not far from his house, it is only three or four miles away, and it will be there in a short while. "

"Then this cow belongs to your family?"

Duan Wuji shook his head. "If it's all from our family, then it's okay.

Most of the cows belonged to my third grandfather's family. The reason why they are kept here is that my third grandfather wanted our family to save some cow dung for farming.

You don't know, I eat a lot, one person can eat three people. "

Shan Xiongxin laughed out loud. "Little brother, do martial arts practitioners eat less?"

Duan Wuji asked curiously. "Second Brother Shan, may I ask what is the name of your weapon?"

Shan Xiongxin looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Haven't you seen it?"

Duan Wuji shook his head. "Well, I really don't know."

"My weapon is called Jujube Yang, and it is a type of weapon.

A few years ago, I used Jinshui to walk in the top of the lance.The purpose is to dazzle the enemy during the battle.Therefore, this weapon is also called Jinding Zaoyang Lance.

Well, wait for the opportunity, I will practice it for you and let you have a look. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded. "That's great!"

With that said, the two of them undressed and fell asleep.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji still brought food to Shan Xiongxin. When Shan Xiongxin was full, Duan Wuji cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and then together with Tie Niu, drove the cattle to graze the cattle.

Eight or nine days later, Shan Xiongxin came to Duan Yanqing's room this morning, knelt down on his knees and saluted Duan Yanqing and his wife.

When Duan Yanqing saw it, he quickly reached out to help him. "Xiongxin, what are you doing?"

Shan Xiongxin clasped his fists together. "Uncle, Aunt, my injury is almost healed, I plan to bid farewell to you today.

Thanks to the care of your family during this period, I was able to be reborn through Dantong.

Well, how about this, I will definitely visit your family at the end of the year or next spring. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Xiong Xin, look, the breakfast is already served, let's go after breakfast."

Shan Xiongxin shook his head. "No need, Dan Tong has been away from home for so long, and my family still doesn't know if I'm dead or alive. Now I'm already home. How can I eat?
Promise, brother, let's see you later. "

Duan Yanqing pulled Duan Wuji up. "Wuji, your second brother Shan is leaving, why don't you send him off quickly?"

Duan Yanqing's family didn't bother to eat, and immediately sent them out from home.

I saw that Shan Xiongxin got on the bay red horse, and then he clasped his fists at the family. "Uncle, Auntie, Wuji, I will bid farewell alone."

After finishing speaking, he patted the horse's butt lightly, and the horse let out a long cry, and immediately headed away towards the distance.

The family didn't go home for dinner until the horse was gone.
