Chapter Forty-Nine: Red Stripes, White Flowers
Money is a good thing, and everyone loves it.
Very good moon, depressed Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing was lying on the bed in the tavern inn with angry teeth, this time he was humiliated more ruthlessly than last time in the hands of Wu Dalang (Ling Ling), as for why he was lying on the bed in this tavern, it would be a long story.
Ximenqing and his entourage, who had already left in the carriage, slowly turned around and returned to the tavern, on the way to the tavern, the shopkeeper Wang who was driving the car saw a few white figures hanging on the tree at the door of the tavern, but after all, he was not sure that there was no squeak, and when he was about to approach, the shopkeeper Wang saw it clearly, the scene was simply spicy, five big men were stripped naked and hung on the tree, and they kept crying and begging for mercy there, and the shopkeeper of the tavern was lying on the stool at the door with Erlang's legs crossed, and there was a knife next to a mouthful of cake and wineโ kitchen knives.
"You...... You are here, in broad daylight, you dare to do this, what kind of system, you ......" Seeing these scenes, the shopkeeper Wang immediately climbed out of the carriage and began to open his mouth and scold, what benevolence, righteousness and morality, what honor and disgrace, what three obedience and four virtues.
Ximenqing, who was still unaware of the carriage, heard the scolding of the shopkeeper Wang, patted his forehead and reluctantly got out of the carriage, and bent over to carry the curtain with one hand, and then was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Master, what's going on outside?" Sheng Xiao followed behind Ximenqing, poking his head out to take a look.
"Oh, it's nothing, stay in the carriage and don't come out" After speaking, Ximenqing put down the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, the sheng flute was his Ximenqing's plaything, what is it when he sees someone else's nakedness.
Curiosity is something that every woman is born with, no matter how old or young, beautiful, ugly, fat or thin. Sheng Xiao, who didn't go out after listening to Ximen Qing's words, still wanted to know what was going on, so he picked up one side of the curtain in front of the carriage, just enough to see it, "Ah" Sheng Xiao exclaimed and then put down the curtain suddenly, her heart was pounding, and her face turned red when she brushed it, she saw so many men's bodies for the first time. Then the imagination in her mind couldn't stop, Ximenqing's body couldn't be more familiar, and then the ones she saw just now were replaced with Ximenqing's in Shengxiao's mind.
"It doesn't seem that big......," muttered softly.
Ximenqing, who got out of the car, walked to the side of the shopkeeper Wang, stopped the shopkeeper Wang's scolding, obviously it is an uneducated thing, and he still wants to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he dares to pull out the four books and five classics, and he is not afraid that the coffin board of the saints will not be able to hold it. Then Ximenqing walked in front of a pair of shopkeepers, ignoring the people who were hanging on the tree and shouting loudly, Ximenqing felt that his face was burning badly, and it seemed that he should not come back, and the five subordinates gave up and gave up.
Ximen Qing clenched his fists and then bent down to make a gesture to the shopkeeper, and then said in a very polite tone:
"The shopkeeper is reckless, I don't know how to let my family go?"
The shopkeeper just stopped biting the scallion pancake in his hand, and then glanced at Ximenqing, "Hehe, that's simple, it's good to lose money" This shopkeeper is now completely different, if Ling Ling and Wu Song are here, I'm afraid they will be shocked to lose their big teeth, is this still the timid shopkeeper who was scared by Wu Song and Lu Zhishen's fighting?
"Then, one hundred wen for one person, I will give you consistent" This number was still said by Ximenqing after struggling for a while, it is natural to spend money on women, but spending money on these rough men is a tyrannical thing.
With a "bang", the shopkeeper slapped the wine jug in his hand on the bench, and then stood up and walked in front of Ximenqing.
"Are you calling Hanako, look at the colorful clothes you wear, you shouldn't be so poor, right?"
Ximen Qing couldn't help but take a small step back, and he felt a little safer when he was a little farther away from the shopkeeper.
"Then, you can make a price" Ximenqing didn't want to bargain anymore, it was a big deal to double these families when the time came.
The shopkeeper didn't speak, but raised his right hand and opened his palm.
"Okay, then let's go five times, and the king's shopkeeper will take the money."
"Are you blind?"
"Isn't it five? What? You want fifty?"
"Forget it, I don't want these few, you can keep them!"
After saying that, Ximenqing turned around and walked towards the carriage, deaf to the fierce shouts of the big men in the trees.
"So, plus how much are you worth?" the shopkeeper's voice came from behind Ximenqing.
Then Ximenqing felt a chill on his body, a tingling pain in his ankles, and he couldn't stand firmly and sat on the ground, and the clothes on his body fell to the ground one by one, and he was the same as those big men on the tree, except that five were hanging from the tree and one was sitting on the ground.
"You, you ......" Ximenqing picked up a few larger pieces to cover his important parts, and sat on the ground like that, his eyes staring at the shopkeeper who was wiping the knife again, and his hand trembled and pointed, but he couldn't speak, he was angry and frightened.
"I, I promise you, fifty is fifty, the king's shopkeeper, the king's shopkeeper......" Ximenqing shouted loudly, he just wanted to leave quickly, money didn't matter, life was the most important thing.
"Hehe, don't forget, there are still you now, how much do you think you are worth?" The shopkeeper walked to Ximenqing and squatted down, looked at Ximenqing with a playful face, and looked at it from time to time.
"A hundred, a hundred...... Shopkeeper ...... Wang"
"Old, master, we don't have so many ......" The shopkeeper Wang is also the kind of person who pursues advantages and avoids disadvantages to the extreme, and he shouted loudly to Ximenqing when he stood far away, and his steps were still retreating little by little.
"How much, bring it first......" Ximenqing felt that the little wind was blowing so cold, and he shivered all over.
The shopkeeper had no choice this time, so he walked over slowly, and then handed a money bag to the tavern shopkeeper.
"This, this is seventy ......" and then wanted to leave quickly.
The tavern shopkeeper shook the heavy money bag in his hand, and then looked at Ximenqing with a hint of a smile.
"There are still thirty times, and the interest will be doubled" Then he returned to the bench at the door with the money bag, threw the money bag to Xiao Er, and continued to Erlang's legs.
"Hurry, hurry up and let someone go and get it, hurry up......" Ximenqing also forgot to let the king's shopkeeper help him up, in fact, sitting is more elegant than standing up.
The sheng flute on the carriage witnessed all this, and then deliberately took a few more glances at some places in Ximenqing, compared with those sitting on the tree, and finally did what Ximenqing instructed, stay in the carriage and don't come out.
What followed was a long wait, and the intact family went back to Qinghe County to get the money, and when he came back to rescue Ximenqing, it was already late.
Ximenqing's ankle was still injured, and the shopkeeper didn't want to rush to the night, but fortunately, the shopkeeper's attitude changed 180 degrees after receiving the money, and the clothes were the first of the guests, so Ximenqing and his party stayed in the tavern inn for another night, but the price of this night was expensive.
