Chapter 21 This scholar is actually our iron fan
The next day, Hong Mai was woken up by a high-pitched rooster crowing, rubbed his hazy eyes, reluctantly got up, came to the outside of the hut, stretched his body in the morning light, remembered that he dreamed last night that he had become a ruler and became a prince of the country, and his heart was happy, this is a good luck!
"Hey, by the way, what about the chicken demon!?" Hong Mai was puzzled for a while, "Could it be that he left?"
At this time, suddenly another sound came, and Hong Mai should be called, and he saw that a rooster was crowing at the top of the crown of a towering ancient tree more than 30 meters high, a hundred meters away!
Slightly stunned, Hong Mai reacted, it was not the chicken demon who hijacked himself, but when he thought of the scene last night, when they looked through the "Analects" together, Hong Mai couldn't help but smile, feeling that this chicken demon couldn't help but be afraid, but very interesting, not as evil and ferocious as the strange books I had read before. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnd this chicken demon can even crow like an ordinary big rooster!
After looking at it for a while, Hong Mai was about to go find some water to freshen up, tidy up his demeanor, and was about to turn around, when the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of the chicken demon on the top of the ancient tree spreading its wings and jumping down, and finally landed leisurely in front of him.
。。。
Zhao Shenping looked at the scholar, and felt a little bored in his heart, he flew down from such a tall ancient tree, and there was no surprise on the scholar's face, which made him feel even more that this person was a nerd, and he had no eyes to find beauty. It's just that even though he was dissatisfied with him in his heart, Zhao Shenping still wrote with his paws on the ground: "Go to Taihu Lake." ”
Nothing is as important now as finding out about Huang Rong's news.
Hong Mai took a closer look and found that the three demon texts today were a little different from last night, but looking at the general outline, he could still recognize them, and said to Ji Daxian: "Ji Daxian, are you going to Taihu Lake early this morning?"
Zhao Shenping nodded.
Seeing this, Hong Mai said briskly: "Okay, I'll take my luggage and leave." After speaking, he immediately returned to the thatched hut, and after a while, he had already packed up and hurried south with Zhao Shenping.
After walking for more than half an hour, Hong Mai took Zhao Shenping to a town, ate some food, and then prepared to continue on the road, but Zhao Shenping felt that it was really time-consuming and laborious to go in such a hurry, so he called Hong Mai to the side and wrote five big characters on the ground.
Hong Mai saw the chicken demon writing again, and hurriedly looked carefully, but what embarrassed him was that he still couldn't recognize it completely, and only knew the first two words: "You go... But this time, Hong Mai was no longer panicked, and immediately took out the "Analects" and put it on the ground, ready to let the chicken demon point it out to him.
Zhao Shenping looked at Hong Mai's movements, and had an urge to eat this "Analects", but in the end he endured it, and began to rummage through it very unhappily, but only found one word, Zhao Shenping didn't want to turn it over a second time, but removed four of the five words he had just written.
"Horses. ”
Hong Mai read lightly, and then suddenly said: "Ji Daxian, do you think I am walking too slowly, and you want me to ride a horse?" Seeing that Ji Daxian nodded in agreement, Hong Mai looked annoyed: "Why didn't I think of it! ”
Hong Mai asked for directions, took Zhao Shenping to a market in the north of the town, although the town is not big, but because it is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, it is a good place for merchants to take a break, so it is more prosperous, the goods of the north and south of the world above the market are not to say everything, but also dazzling, soon, Hong Mai saw a man selling horses, the man was full of wind and frost, carrying a spear, squatting in a corner without saying a word, just put a wooden sign selling horses in front.
Hong Mai walked over, looked at the black horse that was tied to the side by the man, and bought it because he thought it was okay, as for the price, he didn't understand it, so he didn't make a counteroffer.
After buying a horse, Hong Mai bought a lot of beef jerky and dry food, and then went out of the market, rode a horse and took Zhao Shenping on the road again.
All the way to the fast, not a few days, Hong Mai arrived in Yixing, then repaired overnight, then turned to the east, two days later to Taihu Lake. In the past few days, Hong Mai has been in a hurry during the day and rested at night, although it is hard, the interest is very high, especially when chatting with the chicken demon at night, he can always learn a few demon texts from time to time, which makes him feel very sufficient. In Zhao Shenping's view, Hong Mai's cheerful study of demon texts every night is a great insult to his handwriting, if it weren't for scolding him for being too tired to translate, Zhao Shenping would have long ago scolded Hong Mai and couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
At noon on this day, after Zhao Shenping and Hong Mai rushed to the west bank of Taihu Lake, they found a fisherman along the lakeside and asked for the direction of Guiyunzhuang. Knowing that he needed to take a boat to arrive, he placed the black horse in the fisherman's house, hired the fisherman's boat, and carried Hong Mai and Zhao Shenping over. The fisherman took them to a bluestone wharf, took the money, and departed.
Hong Mai took Zhao Shenping to the dock, looked at the pavilions in front of him, the house was luxurious, it was actually a large courtyard, and he was secretly curious about what kind of business the owner of the village was doing, and he actually earned such a large family business! After crossing a big stone bridge, Hong Mai took Zhao Shenping to the front of the village, and immediately two servants greeted him.
One of them looked at Hong Mai's dusty servants, and he also carried a small rooster, looking like a country boy who had never seen the world, and then said casually: "Hey, what are you doing here?"
Hong Mai's brows furrowed when he heard this, when was he so neglected by a subordinate, he just remembered what Ji Daxian ordered, secretly endured it, and said: "Xiaosheng has a letter here, which needs to be handed over to Lord Lu Zhuang in person." ”
When the servant heard this, he smiled and said, "Our owner can also see what you want, what kind of letter, bring it, and I will send it to you." ”
Hong Mai's face sank like water, his heart was unhappy, and he looked down at the main chicken Daxian.
Seeing this, Zhao Shenping nodded.
is just a janitor, Zhao Shenping is not going to make a fuss about this.
Hong Mai then snorted coldly, took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to the servant.
After receiving the letter, the servant looked at Hong Mai and the big rooster at his feet with a look of surprise, and secretly wondered why the wild boy looked at the chicken just now, and only took out the letter after the rooster nodded. With that, he turned and left.
Hong Mai was angry, at this time when he was looking at this Guiyunzhuang, he suddenly felt that although this place looked atmospheric, it gave people a sense of hollowness, vulgarity and shallowness, without any background, and the quality of the people was underground, the owner naturally would not be any better, I really don't know what Ji Daxian is doing here.
Zhao Shenping didn't think as much as Hong Mai, and after the servant went in with the letter, he paced back and forth, looking up at the village gate from time to time.
The time for a meal has passed, and the servant who went in to deliver the letter has not yet come out, Zhao Shenping is a little breathless, looking at Hong Mai, who is sitting on the dock and admiring Taihu Lake, he walks over quickly, and screams twice.
Hong Mai turned around and saw that Ji Daxian was behind him, and hurriedly asked, "Ji Daxian, what are your orders?"
Zhao Shenping's name for Hong Mai was already strange, and he stretched out his hand and pointed towards Guiyunzhuang. Seeing this, Hong Mai got up, walked up to the stunned servant, and asked loudly, "Hey, why hasn't the person who went in to deliver the letter come out yet?"
The servant had only now come back to his senses from what he had just seen, and asked tremblingly, "You... What did you just call this chicken?"
When Hong Mai heard this, he immediately shouted: "What a chicken, this is a chicken fairy, who can understand human nature, read and write, fly into the sky and the earth, and be omnipotent." ”
"Huh!?"
When the servant heard this, his legs went limp, and he almost fell.
Zhao Shenping was even more speechless, he never expected that he would be like this in Hong Mai's heart.
