After the herbs were handed over to Wang Bingyi, Zhang Xing and the three of them found an inn to live in Huaiyang City. Early the next morning, Wei Yunhai went to several mountain goods shops in the city with a roe deer skin on his back. It was also lucky, I happened to meet a noble man who came to pick fur materials in a store, and the noble man took a fancy to the roe deer fur in Wei Yunhai's hand at a glance and gave a high price of thirty-five taels.

Wei Yunhai took the money and went back happily.

Wang Bingyi of Ci'an Medicine Hall sent the herbal medicine money to the inn, but Zhang Xing was not there. He knew that Wei Yunhai and Wei Minwu were her stepfather, and the other was her stepbrother. When Zhang Xing came over with pheasants and rabbits last night, her stepfather and stepbrother were standing next to her, and her words and deeds were quite caring. Although this is the case, Wang Bingyi still wants to hand over the herbal medicine money to Zhang Xing - although the stepfather and stepbrother are good, but they are always separated by a layer, who knows whether this courteous words are sincere or false? In the end, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, she is more tolerant at hand, and her life is better.

Zhang Xing was not there, Wang Bingyi sat and waited for her to come back, while talking to Wei Minwu, seeing that the sun was turning west, Wang Bingyi did not wait for Zhang Xing, but waited for Wei Yunhai, who came back. The three of them talked again, Wang Bingyi couldn't wait, so he had to hand over the more than eight taels of silver he was carrying to Wei Yunhai, looked at his eyes and said with a smile: "This is the money that Zhang Xing entrusted to me for the basket of herbs to sell, a total of eight taels and nine dollars of silver, she is not there, I will entrust it to you, Brother Wei points." ”

Wei Yunhai smiled and took the money bag. Wang Bingyi smiled and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." This money will be handed over to Zhang Xing by Brother Wei. ”

Wei Yunhai sent Wang Bingyi out of Lu with a smile, and when he came back, he hurriedly inserted the door. Pour out the money bag and count the money. Wei Minwu looked at his father's eyes and couldn't help but pour cold water. He said, "Dad, what are you counting? Didn't you listen to others? This money belongs to Zhang Xing." She's back, and you're going to give it to her. ”

Wei Yunhai's movements were stagnant. Wei Minwu sneered and said, "What do you mean? This surnamed Wang, ask a lot of questions, what's the matter, do you think we are not good to Zhang Xing? ”

Wei Yunhai thought about it silently, nodded, and said, "This Mr. Wang is right, this money is indeed Xing'er's." It should be given to her. ”

Wei Minwu was taken aback, more than eight taels of silver, but all of them were given to Zhang Xing! The two brothers didn't have so much money to give Mr. Liu for a year, so how many good things could they buy. Wei Minwu hurriedly said: "Dad, how can I give it all to Xing'er? I also have a share! My strength is not less than that of Xing'er, you can't be so partial......"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Wei Yunhai frowned and interrupted Wei Minwu's words, "This trip, we can earn so much money." Xing'er has the most credit, don't say that you are far inferior to her, even I am not as good as her. ”

Wei Minwu grimaced, his hand touching the broken silver on the table. He looked at Wei Yunhai and said flatteringly: "Dad, I've been doing it these days." I'm working hard too, look at the blisters on my feet. Also, look at the wound on my hand. Can you give me a little bit of it, just this one, just this little piece, okay?"

Wei Yunhai snatched the broken silver from Wei Minwu's hand, glared at him, and said while stuffing it into the money bag: "You still dare to call it hard in front of your Lao Tzu? You begged for it, didn't you? This money has nothing to do with you! This is the money from Xing'er selling herbs! How many herbs have you picked? Can you tell your Lao Tzu?"

Wei Minwu watched his father carry the silver in his arms, and only felt that his heart was dripping blood.

As soon as Wei Yunhai raised his eyes and saw that Wei Minwu was still greedy, he suddenly became angry, pointed at him, and said again. Wei Minwu was disgraced by Wei Yunhai's words, and he didn't dare to complain anymore, thinking in his heart, since his father couldn't get a share, then he would find Zhang Xing and say, no matter what, he must get a piece of the pie.

Although he did not pick a few herbs for most of the basket, he carried most of the time in this basket!

If he said too much, then Zhang Xing would definitely not give it, and maybe he would go to his father to complain, saying less—no matter what, he would also ask for a tael of silver.

Wei Minwu pondered in his heart how to talk to Zhang Xing about dividing the silver. Wei Yunhai was weaving straw sandals, and at the same time silently calculated in his heart how much silver he got from entering the mountain this time, and the more he calculated, the happier he was in his heart - with these forty or fifty taels of silver, he didn't have to worry about anything next year.

I didn't expect that there would be such a big harvest on this trip to the mountain, which was completely worthy of the income of three or five years when the year was good.

It's worth it.

The father and son were thinking about things until it was almost dark, and Zhang Xing had not returned. Wei Yunhai frowned and looked at the dark sky outside, and asked, "Min Wu, where did Xing'er go?"

Wei Minwu was angry and said: "Dad, what am I lying to you for?" She carried a shovel out of the house, and the innkeeper also knew about it, if you don't believe it, you can ask him. "He was going to go with him, but she wouldn't allow it.

Although Wei Yunhai was a little uneasy, thinking that Zhang Xing's usual actions were all reasonable, his heart settled down again, added a few grasses, and continued to weave shoes.

Wei Minwu went out of the inn door and looked at it several times, Zhang Xing hadn't come back yet, he was also hungry, he couldn't sit still, and said to Wei Yunhai: "Dad, why don't we order food first?"

Wei Yunhai didn't raise his head and said, "I'll talk about it when Xing'er comes back." ”

It was completely dark, and the innkeepers had come over to ask for shovels, and Zhang Xing hadn't come back yet. Wei Yunhai couldn't sit still any longer, and asked Wei Minwu again: "When Xing'er went out, did you explain anything?"

Wei Minwu shook his head, "She only said that she was going to go out of the city, and nothing else." ”

After Wei Yunhai turned around the house a few times, he said to Wei Minwu: "I'll go out to look for it, you just stay in the room, don't go anywhere." If Xing'er comes back, you two will eat first, and you don't have to wait for me. ”

Wei Minwu nodded. Wei Yunhai went out of the inn, because he came to this place less, Huaiyang City is big, although the sky is dark, the lights in the city are like a forest, and the pedestrians are like weaving. Wei Yunhai was afraid that he was going wrong, so he only walked along one street all the way, watching as he went.

Before the end of the street, there was a sudden chaos in the street, and a column of soldiers armed with spears came from the end of the alley, and the pedestrians on the street avoided it. Wei Yunhai was squeezed to the side by the crowd and craned his neck to look. The quiet lights illuminated the pedestrian in the middle of the street, the silver-gray armor of one color, walking in unison, and the tip of the red-tasseled spear glowing with a cold light. The noisy crowd around them fell silent at some point, and the footsteps of the soldiers in the street became more and more amazing.

It was the first time Wei Yunhai had seen such a situation, and he couldn't blink at all.

Not long after the soldiers passed, the sound of curfew gongs and drums came, and for a time the streets were in chaos, and the cries of women and children resounded. Wei Yunhai was in the most prosperous part of the street at this time, squeezed in the middle of the crowd, unable to move, only following the flow of people, and finally saw an opportunity to get into a small alley.

He knew that in this chaotic time, it was most easy to trample and hurt people, and he would not come out when he entered the alley, and he would only dare to come out after bringing this flow of people.

There were few people in the street, and the wind rose, and the clothes of the dead lying in the middle of the street were blown up, revealing their white belly, and the head had become a bloody gourd, and the blood flowed all over the ground.

Wei Yunhai couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly ran to the inn. The inn was about to close, and the little second said, "Guest officer, if you are late, you won't be able to enter." ”

When Wei Yunhai was in Zhanghe Town before, he also experienced a curfew. The curfew in Zhanghe Town is completely different from this place. Zhanghe Town only guards the north and south gates, checking the entry and exit. After a few hours and three minutes after the curfew, no more idlers are allowed to stay on the streets, and families have to close their doors for review.

Wei Yunhai was already shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about wiping his sweat, so he only ran to his room.

It was Wei Minwu who opened the door. Wei Yunhai opened his mouth and asked, "Is Xing'er back?"

"You haven't found her yet?" Wei Minwu asked in surprise as he glanced behind Wei Yunhai.

Wei Yunhai still didn't believe it, turned to Zhang Xing's house next door, and pushed the door open. There was no one inside.

Wei Yunhai went out in a panic and almost collided head-on with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper grabbed Wei Yunhai and said, "Guest officer, you can't go out at this time, and you won't be able to get in if you go out." ”

Wei Yunhai retracted his feet and said, "I know that there is only one of us outside who has not come in, and I need to find her." ”

The shopkeeper held on and said, "Guest officer, this will be a moment or three, who would dare to stay on the street? Don't worry, your acquaintance must have found another place to stay." ”

Wei Yunhai didn't know if the shopkeeper's words were true or false, but he couldn't see Zhang Xing right now, and he couldn't let go of his mind no matter what. Seeing that he insisted on leaving, the shopkeeper said, "Guest officer, you can go out now, but we won't dare to open the door for you for a while." ”

Wei Yunhai hesitated to look at the closed door and said to the shopkeeper, "Open the door." ”

The shopkeeper had to open the door and let him go. Wei Minwu also came over and wanted to go out together. Wei Yunhai glared at him, pulled him aside, took out the money bag in his arms, stuffed it into Wei Minwu's arms, and whispered: "If it's dawn tomorrow and I haven't come back yet, you just go straight home, do you hear?"

The weight in his arms was heavy, and it was clearly more than a dozen taels of silver. Wei Minwu didn't know how long he had been looking forward to this thing, but this time he was really in his arms, but he didn't have a trace of joy to get what he wanted.

Looking at Wei Yunhai, who turned around and walked towards the door, Wei Minwu was excited for a while, and also trotted over and said, "Dad, you stay in the room, and I will go out to find Zhang Xing." "When they came out, there were three of them, but when they went back, he was the only one, and the woman in the house was afraid that she would peel him off. (To be continued......)
