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

Chapter 56 56:2 Xiao Zhuang accepts apprentices

Chapter 56 Chapter 56
Duan Wuji and Tie Niu led the horses and followed the family back to the village, but there was no one on the street, maybe most of the people in the village hadn't gotten up yet.

The family's home happened to be on the south side of the village. When I walked to the house and took a look, hey, the family's house was really nice.

The gatehouse is as tall as one person, with two thick wooden doors, the yard is not big, only two acres in size, and the house of Sanhezi is also a house of green bricks and tiles.

Looking at the family situation, it is relatively wealthy.

There are more than a dozen chickens scattered in the yard, clucking and looking for food in the yard.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu handed over the horse to Old Wangtou.

Then he smiled and said: "Old Wangtou, arrange a room for us to sleep for a while, we will leave when we wake up, we were really sleepy on the road yesterday, and we didn't sleep well on the grave.

The other is to feed and drink our horses.Alas, these two horses are getting old with us. "

The old king laughed.

"Don't worry, benefactor, there is no need to ask for these things, we will do well.

Hey, my wife, quickly arrange a bed for the two benefactors to rest for a while. "

After hearing this, the old woman stood up and took Duan Wuji and the others to a room and made the bed.

Then he said with a smile on his face: "You two benefactors, you should rest, then I will go out first."

The two listened and nodded.

"Well, go ahead, there's nothing else going on here."

After a short time, the two of them fell asleep with their eyelids fighting.

The old king first led the horses to the barn to feed them with good grass and materials, then quietly gathered the family together, and then said in a low voice: "What happened last night, our family must not let it go." Tell anyone, let the government know, our family of five is a death penalty.

Once the words go out of the way, none of our family will survive.Do you all remember clearly? "

The whole family nodded.

"Well, we know about this matter. We won't talk about such a disaster that comes out of our mouths. Don't worry, the head of the family."

The old Wang sighed and looked at his two grandsons.

"Hey, you two adults naturally don't need me to ask more. I'm just afraid that my two grandsons will tell. After all, these are two children."

The older child raised his face and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, we brothers don't know how to talk about this matter.

Besides, this matter is so important, it won't do our family any good to tell it out, so why talk about him? "

The old Wangtou smiled slightly.

"In this way, I feel at ease. Hey, the head of the family, hurry up and order a meal. One is to thank the two benefactors for saving their lives, and the other is to celebrate our family's survival.

To be able to survive a catastrophe, what a blessing! "

After hearing the order, the old woman immediately turned around and said to Er Xifu: "Mother, let's go, let's go get some food. Xiao Engong and the others will wake up later, it's not good if they don't have cooked food."

After finishing speaking, the old woman led Er Xifu to work in the kitchen, and after a while, bursts of fragrance wafted from the small courtyard.

Old Wang went to the town to buy ten catties of wine and some meat.

When the sun was three poles, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu finally got over their fatigue, they looked at each other, and then jumped off the bed.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, this sleep really relieves fatigue, we are also tired, I think we should go too."

Iron Bull stood up.

"Come on, let's lead the horse. I guess the horse has been fed and drunk now, and we should be home in three or two days. Let's go."

The two went outside the house, only to see that old Wangtou was sweeping the yard.

Seeing Duan Wuji and Tie Niu coming out, Lao Wang hurriedly threw his broom and ran over.

"You two benefactors, are you awake? Why don't you sleep more?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "We've come to relieve our fatigue. You see, it's getting late now, and it's time for us to go on the road. Hey, old man, have our horses been fed and drunk?"

"Well, of course.

However, two benefactors, you must not leave now.If you want to go, you have to eat before you go.

You said that you go away on an empty stomach like this, how can this make our family feel at ease?

Besides, our family's meal has been cooked long ago, and we haven't eaten it until now. We just made a special trip to wait for you. Don't let our family down! "

Tie Niu listened and looked at Duan Wuji.

"Brother, what do you think about this?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Since the rice is already cooked, I think we should eat before leaving, otherwise we will have to go to the restaurant to waste time, Brother Tieniu, what do you think?"

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Since brother, you said to leave after eating, what's my opinion? Well, let's eat them.

However, uncle, the two of us can eat too much, and your family is not allowed to argue. "

"Oh! Two benefactors, the better you eat, the better. You say our family sincerely invites you, what reason can we make?"

The old Wang took Duan Wuji and Tie Niu's hands, and shouted into the room: "My old lady, this guest is awake, why don't you get ready for dinner!"

I only heard a promise from the kitchen: "Come in quickly, the meal is already ready, waiting for the guests to serve on the table."

The old Wangtou laughed and said: "Grandfather, don't be stunned, hurry up and eat in the house.

Two benefactors, our small family can't cook anything delicious. If you don't do well, you have to take care of it. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old man, you are too polite, I can smell the aroma of the kitchen outside here, what's the point of being polite?"

The three of them walked into the kitchen, and Lao Wang told Tie Niu and Duan Wuji to sit upright.Old Wangtou was by his side.

I saw a large table of good dishes on the table.

Tieniu said with a smile: "Auntie, sister-in-law, don't be so busy, sit down and eat together. How can you eat it when it gets cold?

Hey, uncle, what about the two young generals?Why don't you see them? "

Old Wangtou laughed and said, "They might be playing outside. Let's not worry about them. Let's eat first."

"How can we do that? Let's call them all over to eat together. If so, how can we eat?"

Old Wang Tou Niutou said to his wife: "Old lady, since our benefactor has said so, why don't we call both children over? Let's eat together as a family? Could it be embarrassing for benefactor and the others?"

The old woman laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll call right away."

With that said, the old woman turned around and went out.

After a short time, the two children were found.

Old Wangtou saw it and said with a smile: "You two boys, where the hell did you go to play? You even forgot to eat?"

The older child laughed and said, "Grandpa, we didn't go anywhere, we just watched the horse in the barn. That horse is so nice, no matter how we touch it, it won't bite anyone."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Our horse is a BMW. It is very humane and has never bit anyone."

The older child looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Big brother, you guys practice martial arts, right? You have a big stick hanging right away?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Who says it's not? You don't practice martial arts. Can you save the lives of your family?"

"Then big brother, can you teach me martial arts?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Do you think you can learn martial arts once you teach it? It won't work if you don't have to work hard for a few years.

Besides, we left after eating, how can we have time to teach you? "

The little boy pulled the old Wang's head with his hand.

"Grandpa, don't patronize the meal, you should talk! If our two brothers know martial arts, which one would dare to come to our house to bully us?"

Old Wang was taken aback for a moment, then put down his chopsticks.

"You two benefactors, is there anything important to go home?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "What can we do when we go home? We will practice martial arts at home when we go home."

The old Wangtou laughed and said: "Since you have nothing to do when you go home, I think you will stay here for ten or twenty days, and teach these two boys.

If they know martial arts, like you, then the family will be much more peaceful. "

As he said that, the old Wang gave the two children a wink, and the two boys immediately knelt down and gave Duan Wuji and Tie Niu a nibble.

"Master, I'm going to give you my head. I wish the master great success in martial arts, and marry us as soon as possible."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu smiled wryly when they saw each other, and said to themselves: What is this about?We haven't promised to take apprentices yet, these two little rascals have already knelt on the ground, ah, it's really difficult.

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Let's see it this way, we can teach them two tricks. As for accepting apprentices, I don't think it's too troublesome to be a teacher!"

The older child was quite aggressive, and when he heard Duan Wuji say this: "He quickly shook his head and said, Master, if you don't become a teacher, what can you do? If you don't study as a teacher, you won't be considered a formal student. If you teach us two tricks, you will kill us." Sent away, good or bad you don't care.

Once we have worshiped the master, then we will be your official disciples. If my martial arts is not good in the future, I will be lost to you, Master! "

Duan Wuji rolled his eyes angrily when he heard this, and said in his heart: What's for this meal?well!

The old Wangtou laughed and said: "You two benefactors, I think you can accept them as disciples. Don't worry, I won't lose your face. My two grandsons are talented and smart, and they are the ones who practice martial arts. It's like me. The eldest grandson is born with supernatural power, it would be a pity not to practice martial arts."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Why don't we just accept this big one as an apprentice, and this young one will learn from his brother later, it's really a bit of a problem to accept such a young child."

The old king nodded.

"Well, that's fine. As for this little one, we'll talk about it in a few years. Hey, old woman, hurry up and prepare the incense paper, the apprenticeship ceremony can't be sloppy!"

The woman in her thirties said, "Mother, you should eat all the time. Xuan'er is my son. I'll go and collect these things."

When the old Wangtou saw it, he hurriedly said: "When you're spreading out the incense paper, don't forget to bring back a few plates of offerings."

The young woman laughed and said, "Father, I know, don't worry, I won't forget it."

After speaking, the young woman turned and went out.

The old Wangtou said happily: "Come on, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, we can hold the apprenticeship ceremony."

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu looked at each other for a while and smiled wryly, and said to himself, it looks like I can't leave today, alas, there is food and drink, so let's hang around here for a while and talk about it later.
