Chapter 222: The Town Encounters

Wu Niang is not in a hurry to leave, this is called Haishi and Chun Leek are a little anxious.

Let's wander all the way, along the way, her whereabouts are still a little uncertain. Walking five miles to the east and eight miles to the west is like walking in circles, but in fact, the two of them can't see anything worth seeing in these places.

On this day, I moved to a small town. Walking from one end of the town to the other is as long as a two-mile road.

The three masters and servants were walking, and someone shouted behind them: "Childe stay! Childe stay!"

Who's calling it?

The three of them turned around and went back, and saw a woman holding a child, panting and chasing after her, holding a purse in her hand and asking, "This is the little girl who picked it up." I wonder if it's Childe's?"

The purse is a good satin, the embroidery is exquisite, not to mention how much silver is in the purse, just this one purse, get the pawnshop man-machine to give a silver or two must be able.

On the other hand, the woman who caught up with her clothes was patched, and her face and exposed hands were darker, which was the skin color and dress of the locals. If you look closely at her hands, they are full of fine cuts, which should be scars left by weaving fishing nets. Seeing the three of them looking at her, she shrank and hugged the child in her arms tightly in the direction of return. Haishi turned his gaze to the child again, who was only wearing a small gown, which was large and covered his calves. It can be seen that she did not wear pants for the child, and the child did not have shoes on his feet.

It's a very poor family.

The expression on Haishi's face softened, and he shook his head slightly: "It's not our thing. The eldest sister-in-law will find another master. ”

Wu Niang smiled and turned around to look.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street looked at this with the most curiosity, and some beggars also looked away after paying attention.

Hit the horse and walked forward for a while, Wu Niang chuckled.

Chun Yu was puzzled and asked, "Fifth Master, what are you laughing at?"

Wu Niang pursed her lips and said, "I just think this town is really good!"

All right?

Haishi was unsure, and asked Chun Yu in a low voice: "But how do I feel that something is weird." ”

Isn't that weird?

A woman is holding a purse, and the purse is still bulging, but whether it is a pedestrian on the street or a beggar on the side of the road, they have all seen it. This is really the way to go, and there are other reasons for the peace and peace to this extent.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both looked at the master in front of them.

In the end, Chun Leek asked out loud: "Fifth Master, let's hurry up again......"

In a hurry?

Where to go?

I'm afraid that it won't work anywhere.

So it's like a headless fly, so it's better to take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity.

Now I have to be sure that I am being targeted.

If this is the case, then this hidden force entrenched in the territory of the Jin family should not be underestimated!

Thinking so, when he arrived at the door of the inn, Lin Yutong grabbed the reins: "I'll stay here tonight." ”

The inn is the most ordinary inn. A house made of stone with a ceiling made of seaweed. The inn is small, and it doesn't seem like business is doing much. There are only three or five rooms in total, a large bunk, and nothing else.

Usually they don't even provide a meal, if you want to bring everything, you have to go outside and ask the cook to buy ingredients, and they provide a place to call the fire.

The shopkeeper also said, "Let's ...... here Occasionally, a few merchants pass by, and there are few local people from us. There are more people from the north, and they rarely see the customs of the south, so they look around...... If you are a local, the time is good, and it is not better for people to go to the county town to live in a hotel than in this small shop. So...... Inside and outside the store, there is only one little old man. It is enough to ask for hot water, but this meal, the craftsmanship of the little old man, I am afraid that even the distinguished guests will not look down on it. ”

So, Chun Leek handed over a tael of silver and asked him to buy food: "Is it enough?"

"Enough!" the little old man smiled and withdrew.

Wu Niang saw in the window that after the little old man went out, she took a bite of the silver ingot.

She slowly withdrew her gaze and smiled.

Chun Leek added tea and sent it over, and asked in a low voice, "Fifth Master, let's ......"

Wu Niang waved her hand: "Those handfuls of money, go outside and send someone casually, and ask us to buy a basket of eggs." If you see fruit, it doesn't matter what kind of fruit it is. Let's just say that the young master, I want to try it. ”

Chun Yun looked at the tea he had just handed over, and his eyes showed a little stunned, and then he slowly responded: "Yes!"

Buy eggs?

"We have a lot of goose eggs and duck eggs here. The little old man laughed first, "But I don't know what the nobles are for." If you eat...... Naturally, eggs are the best......"

"That's a matter of what the hell it is. "Chun Leek said lightly, "Our young master is used to washing his face with eggs at night, and the egg whites of these eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and egg whites are almost the same...... As for eating...... Tell the cook to use only eggs...... Not coming out of our ......"

Xiao Lao'er suddenly came a little suddenly, and after repeating it, he hurriedly went to buy it. When he left, he still had words in his mouth, saying that the days of the rich and noble people couldn't understand how the poor couldn't understand.

Chun Leek looked like he had just remembered something, and handed over a handful of money: "Look for some more fruits, it doesn't matter what they are...... Bring it over and ask our son to meet him...... If we eat well, we will have more. How many boats do you have to send back to your family......"

The little old man responded with a smile again, and grabbed the money.

Chun Leek always smiled, and it wasn't until she entered the room that she accepted the expression on her face and nodded to Wu Niang.

All kinds of eggs are in a basket, but what about the fruits? All the fruits in the shell can be eaten.

Haishi boiled eggs in the small tandoor oven where tea was boiled in the house, and the three masters and servants closed the door, and each person ate several before he could be considered to have filled his stomach. When he was thirsty, he did not drink water, but only peeled fruit and ate it. Some of them are still wild fruits, and these sea stones are all known, and there is no problem in eating them.

Clean up the house, and when it was time for dinner, when the door knocked, Haishi and Chun Yu both looked at Wu Niang.

Wu Niang nodded, crooked on the bed and continued to 'nap'.

Chun Leek went to open the door, and Haishi said, "Master, it's up, the meal is ready." ”

The voice of the spring leek sounded at the door: "Oops! Why are you?"

Who?

Chun Leek let go of them, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said to Wu Niang: "Master, it's the sister-in-law who is good at collecting gold today." ”

The woman came in, carrying the child behind her back with a cloth. The child slept sweetly on the woman's back. The woman bent down slightly, holding a food box in her hand, with a little nervousness and fear on her face: "The nobles don't know it's me, but I know it's the nobles." ”

This is easy to understand, that is, the town is small, and there are not many outsiders in a day. So, as soon as you invite the cook here, everyone knows who the employer is.

Haishi answered: "Then I think the purse has already found its owner, right?"

Anyway, there are few guests from other places, not their own home, so it is naturally someone else's home.

The woman smiled and nodded, "Yes! The old man was kind enough and gave me a bunch of money. ”

"The sister-in-law is not moved when she sees gold and silver, and the quality is rare. Wu Niang answered: "I'll send someone to send you two strings of money in a while." With a somewhat joking tone.

The woman's face flushed slightly: "More sons have rewarded." ”

Chun Leek took the food box, then put the meals on one by one, and asked, "Is my sister-in-law from the Northland?"

It's noodles and steamed dumplings, but it's not like the way it is done in the south.

Steamed dumplings in Nandi mostly use clear dough, like steamed dumplings made from flour, which is rare in Nandi.

The woman responded: "When I was a child, I was sold to a big family to be a girl, and later I was transferred back to Beijing with the master of the family, so I followed him to serve." After the old man died of illness, the young master brought his family back to keep filial piety. And then came back. Because of his age, the master's family was gracious, and he let go of the good. Now, relying on this craft, he earns a few scraps of money in the town to subsidize his family. ”

Oh!

Nothing suspicious as it sounds.

Wu Niang moved the chopsticks, took a chopsticks and scrambled eggs with green onions, and said: "Ten miles is not customary, it is strange to say, when I go to the town, I have never heard the sound of chickens...... I'm still thinking, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy eggs......"

Chun Leek covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't say that there is no chicken barking, not even a dog barking." Isn't that strange!"

Haishi scolded: "What are you laughing at? As he spoke, he took the money and sent the woman away: "Sister-in-law, let's go and get busy first, and when our master finishes eating, we will pack up and send it to my sister-in-law." ”

"How dare you bother?" the woman said with a smile on her face, "Just leave the food box at the door, don't dare to work the two little brothers." ”

The woman stepped back as she spoke, and until she was outside, she bent down to help close the door.

In the yard, she also bent down slightly, and her hand was not gently patting the child behind her, but when she got to the front, in the side room of the lobby, she stood up straight, raised her hand and slapped Xiao Lao'er: "What are you doing?"

The little old man was puzzled: "Dare to ask the girl, did your subordinates do something wrong?"

The woman's eyes showed a little fierceness: "That master, I can say that I haven't heard chickens and dogs bark since I entered the town, and this is not wrong......"

"It's not just him!" a voice suddenly came from outside the house, "in a small seaside town, a ragged and poor but innocent woman with a child, the street takes this scene as a matter of course as a spectator, a group of beggars who are not interested in money...... Why do you blame him, this weird town is full of weird places, how do you think you can trust me......"

The woman's face suddenly pale: "Yun Wu Niang!"

Wu Niang's eyebrows were slightly raised: "It seems that I didn't leave, it's really right." You know me, and you know my whereabouts...... How can I go? I want to see who cares so much about me......
