Bring Hokage to Datang

Chapter 129 Bandits (3rd update)

In Wangjia Village, Wang Ming and Wang Xuanwu's homes were just ordinary adobe courtyards. The roofs of the courtyards were covered with thatch and earth, making them look very simple.

Li Chengming was taken to Wang Ming's home, which was a courtyard about one or two hundred square meters in size. There was a small fence surrounding the courtyard, and there were about seven or eight chickens and ducks inside, which looked very harmonious.

In Wang Ming's home, in addition to himself, there is a beautiful woman who looks to be about thirty years old, his wife, and a child named Wang Ping'an who looks to be seven or eight years old.

Wang Ming's wife's name is Wang Zheng. Well, I don't know the specific name. Wang Ming calls her Ying Niang. After seeing Wang Ming bring Li Chengming home, he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he asked her gently. After looking through it, he found a few pieces of Wang Ping'an's clothes from home, and then wanted to help Li Chengming treat his injuries, apply medicine and wash them.

However, although Li Chengming is now pretending to be a six or seven-year-old child, he does not have the habit of letting others help him groom himself. Even though he had two little maids to serve him in the Tang Dynasty, he has never thought about this aspect, and naturally he has not thought about it. Maybe he asked Ying Niang to help him wash up.

Fortunately, Ying Niang was not that kind of rude woman. When she saw Li Chengming insisting, she thought Li Chengming was afraid of life and stopped insisting. After helping Li Chengming get some water, she withdrew.

Li Chengming took off his dirty clothes and frowned when he looked at the scratches on his hands, feet and face from when he hit the ground. In the end, he ignored them and endured the pain a little bit. Clean up.

In fact, with his current strength, he only needs to use medical ninjutsu to cure these injuries in a moment. However, now that he is in this strange world and does not know what this world is, he feels that he is a little cautious for the time being. It's better not to show your strength.

After washing up, he picked up the set of clothes that Ying Niang had given him before. It was a set of linen clothes, and there was also a set of inner clothes that seemed to be made of silk.

Although Li Chengming has never worn clothes from this world, he is not stupid. After a casual study, he knew how to wear these clothes. What's more, he found that these clothes had some similarities with the clothes of the Tang Dynasty. This It would be even harder not to defeat him.

After getting dressed, Li Chengming opened the bathroom door and walked out.

However, as soon as he went out, he saw Ying Niang who seemed to be waiting for him outside. Ying Niang smiled and pulled him to the living room, then took out a bottle of ointment and began to apply it on his wounds.

Li Chengming was secretly grateful. Fortunately, he didn't use the healing ninjutsu just now, otherwise he would have been exposed now.

At this time, Li Chengming noticed that there were a few more people in Wang Ming's family. In addition to Wang Xuanwu, there was also a girl who was similar to Wang Ming's son. It seemed that she should be Wang Xuanwu's daughter. The other one was at the entrance of the village. The middle-aged man I met named Brother Song.

Li Chengming felt that after he came out, the middle-aged man named Brother Song looked at him for a while. He just pretended that he didn't feel it and continued to let Ying Niang help him apply the ointment.

After Ying Niang helped him take care of the wound, it was time for dinner. Ying Niang went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls of meat, plus a bowl of wild vegetables, and a bowl of porridge cooked with corn for each person. Another woman in her thirties also came out. She looked like Wang Xuanwu's wife. She must have been busy in the kitchen just now.

However, children like Li Chengming did not sit with the three adults Wang Ming. Instead, Ying Niang sat down at another small table and shared some meat and wild vegetables.

After the meal was served, compared to Wang Ping'an and Wang Xuanwu's daughter who were devouring their food, Li Chengming ate more leisurely. He paid more attention to the table not far away where Wang Ming and the other three were sitting. I want to listen to see if I can get some useful information from them.

After a while, Li Chengming heard Wang Xuanwu suddenly say, "Brother Song, I heard that the county is not peaceful recently. Have you heard anything recently?"

"Well," Wang Qingsong, who looked a little solemn after hearing Wang Xuanwu's words, said, "The last time I went to the county, I heard some rumors that a group of bandits seemed to have entered Chenliu County from Jiyang, and people were near Kaocheng. I have seen traces of them. You must know that although our Bo County belongs to the Liang Kingdom, we are only a hundred miles away from Kaocheng, so some people suspect that these bandits may have broken into our county. Around."

As he said this, Wang Qingsong looked at Li Chengming who was sitting at the table eating, his eyes flickering and he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong, Brother Song, do you doubt this kid?" Wang Ming frowned when he saw Wang Qingsong's appearance.

"Yes, I doubt that this child's family will be harmed by those bandits. Didn't you just show up in the wild just because this child was injured all over his body? I have seen it before, and the clothes on this child are terrible. This is not an ordinary family. A child like this cannot be hurt by others, so how can they let him run outside alone? Otherwise, something happened to the family."

"By the way, A Ming, have you asked what happened to this child?"

Wang Ming shook his head, "No, this kid may be injured. He doesn't trust people yet and doesn't talk much yet. I plan to wait until he gets to know him better before talking."

"Oh, that's all we can do." Wang Qingsong glanced at Li Chengming and took the way he was eating slowly as a warning. He couldn't do anything to force the child, so he couldn't help but sigh and put up the table. took a sip of wine.

Wang Xuanwu next to him also took a sip of wine, and then said, "By the way, Brother Song, when you entered the city, did you hear what our government said about this matter?"

"No, but I heard that the government is mobilizing police officers recently. I don't know if it has anything to do with it." Wang Qingsong shook his head.

"It seems that we can only be more careful ourselves. We will call the men in the village to discuss it tomorrow. Everyone should be careful. If the bandits really come to this area, I think everyone should hide in the mountains first. Anyway, I There is nothing valuable in our village. Even if these bandits come here, there will be no loss, as long as the people are fine," Wang Ming thought for a moment and then suggested.

"Well, A Ming, you are right. This matter will be done tomorrow." Wang Qingsong nodded, raised the wine bowl in front of him and said, "Okay, come on, let's not talk about this anymore. We are in a poor and remote area, and maybe those homeless people The bandit has passed by, but he still doesn’t like it. Let’s talk about tomorrow’s affairs tomorrow. Come on, drink.”

"Haha, okay, drink." Wang Ming and Wang Xuanwu looked at each other and smiled without saying anything more. They laughed, then raised their glasses and drank together.

Next, the three people did not talk about the bandit just now. Instead, Wang Qingsong talked about some things he had heard in the county before, such as which big family was harsh to the tenants below, and which family's young master? Things like spending money like water in restaurants.

Although Li Chengming heard these things boringly, he still listened carefully because what these three people said was the information that he could find out about the outside world so far.

In fact, Li Chengming also heard some information from the words of the previous three people. For example, the place where he is now should be a place called Liang Guobo County.

Speaking of the Liang Kingdom, Li Chengming thought for a moment, as if he remembered that there were four "Liang Kingdoms" in history, namely the Southern Liang, the Western Liang, the Daliang and the Back Liang.

Among them, Nanliang was created by Xiao Yan of the Southern Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Well, it was this guy who turned the monks who could eat meat into vegetarians. Moreover, during his reign as emperor, he entered the temple as a monk several times, which made him The ministers below could only pay to redeem him and continue to be emperor, which must be said to be a strange thing;

The Western Liang was also founded during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, also known as the Back Liang. It had a land area of ​​ miles, which was about the size of a city. It only existed for thirty-three years and was later abolished by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty;

Daliang was founded by Xiao Xian in the late Sui Dynasty. It participated in the struggle for supremacy in the late Sui Dynasty, but later failed and was destroyed by Li Tang in the fourth year of Wude;

The last one was a political state during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It was established by Zhu Wen and only existed for less than twenty years before perishing.

However, based on the news Li Chengming heard, it seems that the Liang Kingdom they mentioned was not the four Liang Kingdoms he thought, because they also mentioned Chenliu County.

This Chenliu County is relatively famous in history, because anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should know that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was once King Chenliu before he ascended the throne.

It's a pity that Li Chengming didn't have much impression of Bo County and Jiyang that these people mentioned before, otherwise he might be able to deduce more information.

Because he did not eat at the same table as Wang Ming and Wang Ming, and Wang Ming's son and Wang Xuanwu's daughter had finished eating early, in order not to be conspicuous, Li Chengming could only drink the porridge in the bowl casually and sit next to him alone.

During this period, Wang Ming's son Wang Pingan wanted to come and play with him, but Li Chengming still pretended to be indifferent to strangers, which made Wang Pingan retreat.

There were no entertainment activities in the ancients. After Wang Ming and the other three drank for a while, they dispersed. Since there were limited rooms in Wang Ming's home, Li Chengming was arranged by Ying Niang to sleep in a room with their son Wang Ping'an. .

The room is very simple, even shabby. There is no bed, no tables and chairs. It just puts some soft hay underneath, then two straw mats on top, and two thin mattresses. This is the so-called living room.

Ying Niang ordered her son Wang Ping'an not to bully Li Chengming, warned him to sleep well, and then went out with an oil lamp.

After the door was closed and there was no movement outside, Wang Ping'an, who had been lying on the mat obediently, suddenly stood up, looked at Li Chengming who was also lying on the ground through the moonlight coming in from the window outside, and then whispered menacingly. He said, "Boy, get up, I want to talk to you."
