Chapter 141 They are here to cause trouble, are they picking people?
In the 29th year of Hongde, March, spring.
The broken ice on the surface of Qinghe River melted, all things revived, and the reed marshes turned green again.
Tubei Village is busy with spring plowing. The farmlands along the river are full of villagers busy planting rice, and the scene is busy and lively.
A horse-drawn carriage creaked across the loess road and stopped by the roadside near the reed marsh.
A young boy about ten years old jumped out of the car. He had red lips, white teeth, and delicate eyebrows and eyes.
He was wearing a white brocade robe with red details, striding with his hands behind his back, looking both noble and arrogant.
"Tianbao, this young master is here to see you!" The young boy had a clear voice, and his tone was full of arrogance and pampering, but there was a smile in his eyes when he spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of mud flew towards him from the nearby farmland and landed at the boy's feet.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, the mud would have hit his face.
"Su Tianbao! Can't you be more polite? I'm looking at you, and this is the gift you gave me?" Bai Yu put his hands on his hips and glared at the little girl with buns in the field, grinding his teeth.
"We're all working here in coarse clothes, exhausted. And you, dressed nicely, are standing on the edge of the field watching. Who else will Tianbao hit if not you?" Su Wu straightened his waist and gloated, "Hahaha, why don't you go down to the fields too? I guarantee Tianbao won't hit you!"
Su An, "Master Chun Geng specially gave you a few days off. Why don't you stay in the inner city? You have to run here three times a day, doing nothing but watching us work. You deserve to be beaten!"
Su Wen also leaned forward to look towards the carriage. "Oh, no chairs were brought here today? No melon seeds or tea?"
Wei Li, who was in the field with him, said nothing. He smiled and threw another lump of mud onto the ridge of the field.
The four of them are all around ten years old. Over the past few years, they have become strong and taller, and at first glance they look like grown boys.
Bai Yu was so pissed off by them that he actually had the driver bring some chairs, melon seeds, and tea from the cart. He then set up a small table by the roadside, sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, drank tea, ate melon seeds, and watched the fun. "The young master is happy to come and watch, so what!"
The little girl with double buns, who had planted another row of seedlings neatly, finally stopped, put down the seedlings in her hands, and walked towards the ridge of the field with her short legs.
The spring sunshine was gentle, and golden rays of light poured down from above, casting a halo on her little face, as white as snow jade.
She is indeed a pretty and cute little kid, but her face lacks the expression that a kid should have. When she looks at people with her clear eyes, her expressionless face makes people feel scared for no reason and want to run away.
The arrogance and provocation on Bai Yu's face gradually stiffened. He slowed down his movements of cracking melon seeds, stared at the little girl out of the corner of his eye, and was on high alert, ready to take off at any time.
The little girl went up to the edge of the field and drank water from the kettle placed there.
Gulp gulp——
Bai Yu, "..."
The boys in the field burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Look at you, you're such a coward!"
Old Man Su, along with the eldest and second eldest Su, were at the other end of the field, also unable to contain their laughter. They cursed, "You bastards, you make a scene like this once or twice every day. You've frightened Bai Yu."
The little girl, whose prank had succeeded, tilted her head, and her clear eyes were shining with cunningness.
"..." Bai Yu slowly shifted his gaze away from the girl's face, and bit the melon seeds as if he was in a fight, his face grim from biting them.
Near noon, the sounds of the women in the village calling for dinner could be heard from far away.
A group of young boys immediately gathered together and walked home laughing.
"The housework will be done in one day. Why don't we call Grandpa Du to go watch the competition together?" Su Wu suggested.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and smirked, "What are you looking at? I didn't come here just to watch you work. There's something fun going on. Do you want to join in?"
Needless to say, the four boys' eyes lit up immediately.
Even Tianbao turned around, ran over and stared at Bai Yu eagerly.
"There's a banquet at Pier 12 tonight." Bai Yu lowered his voice. "Shall we join in the fun?"
Tianbao, "What banquet?"
"I don't know. My dad said that the bearded man had an important guest, so he threw a banquet. Who cares what kind of banquet it was? We just had fun. He doesn't dare to jump around right now."
Bai Yu didn't care.
In the past three years, the Twelve Piers have been attacked by the inner city forces one after another. In addition, Du Buqin took a few of his gangs to the branch to stir up trouble on a whim, resulting in the number of gang members in the Twelve Piers being reduced by a quarter compared to their peak period.
When talking about the Exiled Lands now, the three major forces are no longer worthy of their name.
Pier 12 has been downgraded by at least two levels.
It's a pity that he can't really kill him. The forces at the Twelve Wharfs control the canal routes, and he will be indispensable for river transportation for the time being.
In the evening, when Old Lady Su raised her voice to call for dinner, three people came back from the fields.
The boys and Tianbao didn't come back, and even Dubuqin didn't jump over the wall from next door.
There was a moment of silence at the Su family's house, and then Old Lady Su stood with her hands on her hips and cursed, "You little bastards, you've taken Tianbao out to cause trouble again! Yuelan, Daxiang! Bring me a broom, I'll be sitting in the yard waiting! I'll see how long it takes them to come back!"
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang immediately hid the brooms.
Su Xiuer hid the fire stick.
Su Da and Su Er took everything they could get their hands on and carried it to the vegetable garden.
Old Man Su even put away his pipe.
At the main helm of the Twelve Piers, after nightfall, the fishing lights are connected into a piece, reflected on the river surface into a bright light.
In the distance, a boat is approaching the shore.
Halfway up the mountain, more than twenty feet away from the pier, several heads were hiding in the bushes, making sighing sounds.
"This ship is amazing, it looks expensive! Other ships have cabins, but this ship actually has a house on board!" Su Wu exclaimed.
The leaves above his head were full of pomp and circumstance. "This kind of pomp represents status. The distinguished guest is indeed noble."
Gao Shen was confused for a moment, then immediately laughed slyly, "Hahahaha! This is fun!"
Bai Yu, "Grandpa Du, don't laugh. Be careful if someone hears it. They'll know it's you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head by Tianbao.
Bai Yu looked straight ahead and kept his mouth shut.
Wei Li's eyes fell on the approaching ship, his pupils shrank, and his hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched, "This is a ship from Beijing. Those who come here must be rich or noble."
Tianbao glanced at him.
What about the Beijing boats? They are here to cause trouble today, so why are they picking on people?
The bearded man stood at the front of the dock, wearing a brocade robe with tight sleeves to show his solemnity.
Behind him, the twelve members of the dock gang stood in rows, all with serious faces and heavy eyes, not daring to slack off.
Soon, the ship docked at the pier. A man in a purple robe walked out of the luxurious cabin. With his hands behind his back, he looked down at the ship and said with a smile, "Boss Hu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"It is a great honor for us at Pier Twelve to have Fifth Master here in person. We are willing to wait for him!" The bearded man took two steps forward and personally went to greet him under the boat. "I have prepared fine wine and delicious food in the gang to welcome Fifth Master!"
The man's eyes were dark and hard to read. He got off the boat and said, "Okay, tonight you and I will have a good drink together!"
On the distant mountainside, Wei Li saw the figure of a man in purple robe from afar, and suddenly he trembled all over.
It's him!
