Chapter 4 The Strange Master

When the owner Yang Ji seemed to have a common problem of literati, he seemed to have little words and a weak expression. He pulled him with a little reserved attitude as if he was very curious about Xu Shiye. His pair of agile almond eyes occasionally glanced at him. After a beautiful girl with a flushed appearance appeared on her fair and tender face, Xu Shiye quickly stuffed the two black breads into his mouth with porridge and pickles. Maybe he was really hungry?

After tentatively twisting for a few times, I felt that there was not much discomfort. Xu Shiye chuckled and asked the mistress to help him get out of bed, who was still very weak, and wanted to go out for a walk...

When the door of the hut was fresh and comfortable, as if it was mixed with a sweet New Year's breath, Xu Shiye couldn't help but take two deep breaths with greed, and for a moment he felt refreshed and intoxicated.

Looking far away, there are hills and gullies in the distance, as if there is only such a lonely thatched hut within a few miles? Suddenly, Xu Shiye couldn't help but think of the famous work written by the poet Du Fu when he was over 70 years old: the thatched hut was broken by the autumn wind. For a moment, he felt an inexplicable loneliness and sadness in his heart...

For Yang Ji, the owner of a weak scholar, led his daughter, who was still a girl, to live in such a deserted place, and retracted his eyes from a distance, but saw that the hut was surrounded by a very simple courtyard surrounded by mixed wood. The owner Yang Ji was standing up from a dilapidated stool and looking towards him who was being helped out of the door.

Xu Shiye, who signaled the mistress to help him in Yang Ji, showed a smile on his face and looked at Yang Ji not far away, and asked slowly, "Cough, cough! The world is very uneasy now. Why did the gentleman lead his young daughter to live alone in such a deserted place, but not in a densely populated town? Wouldn't he be often harassed by the little girl and add to his worries?"

As soon as Yang Ji's thin cheeks seemed to have a trace of misery and frowned. He sighed: "Ah...! In such a chaotic world, where can students have a paradise where people with no power to live in peace? Students are so sad that they are so sad that they see the world with a cold mind! Alas...!"

My heart was dry and cold, and I was ashamed to see the world? When I heard Yang Ji's melancholy as if there was something in my words, Xu Shiye felt as if he had captured something in his heart. When Yang Ji seemed to be showing a noble character, he gave in with little expression. After Xu Shiye was helped by the mistress and sat on the worn-out stool, Xu Shiye couldn't help but whisper: "Sir, that's right! However, the father and daughter lived alone in such a desolate place, and they were not suitable for climbing the mountain to cut down or hunt, and what kind of income should they use to make a living?"

"Ah..." Yang Ji sighed again: "Students actually have some poor family income. Ten years have passed! Ten years have been spent! More than ten miles away from here are counties and towns. In order to make a living, the students had to write some words and draw them on weekdays, and let the loyal old servant who had followed the students go to the county and town to sell them. After the old servant abandoned the death of the old servant, the little daughter became a little older, and the little daughter replaced the old servant. In recent years, it has been really hard for the little girl! Alas..."

Yang Ji sighed with great sorrow, which made Xu Shiye even more feel that Yang Ji had some unspeakable past experiences in his heart. But he was just a hiding place to cover up the past, so Xu Shiye didn't want to ask too much, so he echoed indirectly: "Yes! Making the daughter beautiful and well-behaved will inevitably attract the covetment of some dirty villains! Bullying the weak is the nature of such a slutty person."

Yang Ji shook his head silently with a sad face, but said without a chance: "Students heard that their subordinates were called 'general'. I think you are also a hero in troubled times who have achieved some success! Yesterday, I helped the students' father and daughter, and the students were grateful for their gratitude! However, they did not express their gratitude. There are two things hidden in the student's home, which are useless to students, such as students, and there is only one descendant, and there is no inheritance. The student originally wanted to give it to you when he was leaving, but now that he has said this, the student will get it for you!..."

As he said that, Yang Ji seemed to be unrefutable and waved his hand to signal the mistress standing next to him to go to the hut to get things with him. "I dare not, I dare not! Sir, you are too polite!" Xu Shiye, who seemed a little weak, hurriedly looked modest, but did not further refuse.

Xu Shiye really felt that Yang Ji was very difficult, or had special experiences that could not be expressed in the past, so he wanted to further explore the items Yang Ji took out. After all, Xu Shiye was a young man in his previous life and later life, and his curiosity was very strong! From Yang Ji's tone and tone, Xu Shiye also heard a sense of aloofness that seemed to be high and disdain to make friends with ordinary people.

Among the literati, the person who is most pretentious and too unbearable is the poet Li Bai. In front of the supreme Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he actually asked Yang Yuhuan, the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who had admired his talents, to grind him ink, and let Gao Lishi, a loyal slave who respectfully called him "General" take off his boots! His arrogant and arrogant behavior is really unsatisfactory!

Maybe it is also possible that Yang Ji is a "big immortal" who is talented in ancient and modern times? Xu Shiye, who couldn't help but think about it, looked around and saw: Yang Ji and the mistress lifted a long and dragged object wrapped in old cloth from the hut one by one?

Xu Shiye felt that since he was carried by the two of them, it seemed that a heavy object looked like a weapon, and he couldn't help but think: Is it too long for a weapon?

"Open it and see if it is suitable for you? If it is applicable, the student will give it to you! When the girl waits for a while, she will find another thing to give it to you!..." She was not reluctant to let it go, but Yang Ji, who was like saying 'Do you deserve this thing?', and with the mistress, put the thing she was carrying in front of Xu Shiye sitting on a shabby stool, and said in a plain tone.

Yang Ji's arrogant tone made Xu Shiye feel that "this may be the inherent bad habit of the literati of this era." At the same time, he also felt infinite curiosity. Therefore, he couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head, and said casually, "Look down," and seemed impatient to reach out to the object on the ground in front of him. Maybe he was a little too quick to bend down? He suddenly felt a little painful after touching his head. In a dizzy moment, Xu Shiye frowned and stretched out his hand and had to stop again.

When the mistress saw Xu Shiye's discomfort expression, rushed forward and squatted down to support him, Xu Shiye calmed down and said softly, "Ha, hehe! I'm in the lower body! Don't laugh at me, I really want to see what kind of things the husband took out! Haha!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Yang Ji, who was skinny and standing on one side, also responded with another neither salty nor light...

The object placed on the ground in front of him was finally tore off by the mistress, revealing his true face in front of Xu Shiye! It turned out to be a dark body, with only the sharp edge of the front with a sharp and cold light, and a two-meter-long horse spear!…

A brief explanation of the horse lance:

The horse lance has a long pole with a thickness of a pigeon egg, accounting for about four-fifths of the total length (which naturally includes the same sharp spear). The front end of the long pole is connected to a section that looks like a mace, followed by a sharp spear tip. The horse lance is the best weapon used in cavalry in this era. It is because of the special shape and structure of the horse lance that the horse lance is eight (calculated by the current length is nearly four meters long) can be used to pierce on horseback, or rotate and sweep.

Generally speaking, the long rod of a horse lance also needs to be extremely elastic and tough; therefore, it takes nearly a year to make a horse lance. The reason why it takes so long is that the long rod of a horse lance with wooden handles (the most tumbling is mulberry, oak, vine, and the worst is bamboo). It needs to be soaked repeatedly with oil, air-dried, glue paint, etc.
