Chapter 82: Incense Consumption 3
It's a small guard, if memory serves, it's the newly promoted His Royal Highness the Prince.
"I've seen Su Gongzi. The little guard ran forward and saluted and said: "The first time we met, I don't know what to send, here is a small gift, and I hope that the son will not dislike it, and accept it with a smile." ”
He took out a jade pendant from his arms and respectfully handed it to the little boy in front of him, Su Changrong. Su Changrong didn't answer, and in the past few years, following His Royal Highness the Prince, there have been more people stuffing things for him, and if he accepts everything, then he has to help everyone. He is troublesome, and judges whether he can directly refuse according to the status of the other party. It just so happened that this little guard belonged to the kind that could be beaten back mercilessly, so he stood up straight, lowered his eyes and looked at the guard, and said coldly: "I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly, don't look for me, you are taking a long detour." ”
"No, no, no!" the little guard denied again and again, "It's not for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Actually, it's purely because I want you...... I just came. ”
"Don't hide it from Master Su, I have always known that when you were in Zixu Mountain, you were very familiar with the consul of the herbal medicine area. In the lower family, the family is poor, and the old mother in the family does not leave the medicine, but it is really difficult to support the meager income of the guards...... Therefore, I would like to ask the adults to be accommodating, can you talk to the consul of the herbal medicine area, and the herbs will be bought for me at the original price...... After all, the price of medicine in the pharmacy outside is too high......"
Su Changrong still did not take it lightly and commented: "A piece of sincere filial piety is also rare." ”
"Master Su, the matter of his life is really forced to bother him out of desperation...... , if the son is willing to help, he will repay the son by making a cow and a horse in the next sword!"
"No need. Su Changrong looked at him calmly, with no clear meaning in his eyes.
The little guard thought that this was ruthlessly rejected, and sighed in his heart, knowing how it was possible for this kind of nobleman to understand the suffering of the poor family. His hand was about to be withdrawn, but suddenly there was another jade pendant in front of him, and then the jade pendant in his hand was picked up, and the piece of mutton fat jade was stuffed into his hand instead.
"I don't accept gifts, but I can do an exchange, so I don't accept bribes. This piece of jade, the consul of the herbal medicine area knows, you take it to him, he will know. ”
Hearing this, the little guard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was overjoyed, and he saluted solemnly again: "Thank you, Childe! Shi Ming is grateful, and he will definitely repay this kindness!"
This is not the first time Ping'an has seen someone come to him with Su Changrong's things, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, there are so many pendants of this Su Xiaogongzi. Suizi has seen three, two pieces of jade pendant, of course, there are also direct letters, carefully calculated, this guard, should it be the sixth or the seventh?
He was not surprised, and even sometimes thought that this herbal medicine area was specially set up for Su Changrong and him, and said that the original price was the original price. But these things only dare to be carried out in private, even if this is a low-level herbal medicine area in Zixu Mountain, but it is also for Zixu Mountain and even the palace maids and other people, and they are sold to people at will.
Shi Ming obviously understands these ways very well, and he doesn't need a safety reminder, so he made it clear that he won't tell anyone.
After taking the herbs out, he happened to see another guard passing by the low wall opposite, Shi Ming looked familiar, so he wanted to go up and say hello. shouted, but the man did not answer him, but walked around the corner somewhat mysteriously.
A strong curiosity rose, and he slowed his pace, careful to follow.
Today, the sun is very good, and Bai Tong, with the help of incense, is ready to rearrange the beds in these houses. Because it is in the valley, not far from an open lake, the air is very humid, so the bedding that is not often taken out to dry will get damp, and after a long time, it will be a large musty smell.
When he finished washing and drying, and began to prepare to walk halfway up the slope to look at the herbs, he felt that something was wrong, the sunlight was refracted from the top of his head to the back of his face, and he had the illusion of being spied on. Looking back, there was nothing but bare pine.
It really looks like someone is following them.
Falling incense attributed this to his oversensitivity, and the herb area was so sparse that people who could count on both hands, and no one would ask for this idle matter to follow.
But when the two turned back, the situation suddenly changed, and the light of a steel knife shook white.
The man's face was a little proud, as if he had found some treasure, he squinted his eyes and wanted to stare Bai Tong out of a hole, licked his tongue and said: "This girl belongs to the Su family, right?" It is rumored that the son of the Su family and the son of the Bai family are very good, and this personal maid suddenly came to take care of a white-faced boy, which is really suspicious...... Take off the mask!!"
Knowing that things might be out of control, she sent a signal from her bosom while shouting, "Childe run!"
The guard's eyes lit up, and he knew he had guessed correctly.
There is no moon shining in the pine forest, and there is no clear spring, and the only trickle of water is the snow water on the snowy mountains above that melts, but this is not a good thing for escape, and the unexposed road is too slippery.
Bai Tongwen was a little able to speak, but Wu couldn't lift it, but relying on the herbal knowledge he had specially learned in the past few days to confuse the medicine powder on the face of the arresting guard, temporarily making him unable to see the way clearly.
However, neither of them was a martial artist, they fell all the way to the crawl, and when they turned back in embarrassment, the guards behind them were already roaring and screaming and about to catch up.
"Ahh The Su family's clothing never deliberately used coarse linen clothes because the other party was a subordinate, so this scrape not only did not cut the clothes and let people continue to run forward, but rebounded back because of the uncontrollable force, and the whole person turned over and fell. This fall happened to hit the sharp branch after it was broken.
The sharp branches passed through the legs, the blood flowed out, and the stinging pain couldn't stop sweeping through the brain, and Xiangxiang knew that she couldn't run away this time, so she endured the severe pain and pushed away Bai Tong, who was pulling her: "Childe, you run! Don't worry about Xiangxiang! His target is you, you must hurry up!"
Bai Tong panicked and shouted in a trembling whisper: "Then what should you do?! If he catches up with ......"
"I'm from the Su family! Don't be afraid, he won't dare to do it easily! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
The people on the road below looked around, and it didn't take too long to find him, at the moment it was just that there was something to cover him, but if he didn't leave, the person entered, and it was really difficult to escape.
"You have to be careful! If he comes to him, don't bother with it!"
"Hmm! Hurry up! Childe, don't say any more!"
There is a cave not far up, which is used to store the herbs on the mountainside, in order to prevent thieves and beasts from entering the cave, there is a special prohibition, ordinary people can not enter, only holding a token can be. There are only a few people in this token herb area, and as long as you enter this cave, you can be safe. It's safe to do at least for the time being.
Stumbling into the cave, Bai Tong breathed heavily, his legs filled with lead, and the moment he stopped running violently, he felt heavi.
The cold air in the winter inhaled into the lungs, and it was rare to feel the presence of the lungs, and the heavy dull pain was piled up in the chest, accompanied by violent ups and downs, and the sound of the heartbeat hit the nerves.
