14. Twilight rain picking
When the guard heard this, he glanced up and down at her a few times, and said loudly: "Do you know that harboring the imperial court is guilty of the same crime!"
"The villain would never dare. Tao Zhimo was immediately terrified.
The guard withdrew his gaze from her disdainfully, "You go!" Just now I saw that she was a little flustered when she came out, and asked as usual.
"Master Xie. After the official is gone, he may wish to come to the small teahouse to rest for a while, and the villain will definitely be entertained. Tao Orimo smiled. Although people can't see her smile clearly, they can always feel her kind smile.
After Tao Zhimo returned to the teahouse, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was very scared when he thought about it.
Her identity was almost exposed. If she takes off her hat in front of the public and reveals her true face, I am afraid that her identity as a woman will be found out on the spot!
Ananda, I don't know where he is hiding, how can she save him? Tao Zhimo's heart clenched.
"Dafuku, where did you just go?" Seeing her come back, Li Shi hurriedly asked, the store is still open, why did people run out.
"Mother, you look at the store first, I have something to do, go out first. Tao Zhimo still decided to go out and look for him, to find Ananda before the officers and soldiers caught him.
"It's not Dafu, the two daughters of Mama Li's family are here, I heard Mama Li mean...... I don't want them to stay in the game anymore, I want the two of them to wait on you. "Tao Zhimo is going to travel far away, and the people in the dart bureau have also heard about it.
"Waiting for me?" Tao Zhimo was startled.
"That is, serving by your side, I don't think Mama Li has that meaning, after all, her two daughters are a few years older than you. Moreover, those two girls are good-looking, half a head taller than Tao Zhimo, and it is estimated that people will not look down on her, "I was thinking, it is inconvenient for you to be a woman on the road, if you can have a companion by your side, and they can also martial arts, walking through the rivers and lakes, it is better to ......"
"Mother, this matter will be discussed when I come back. Tao Zhimo interrupted her, "I have something urgent now, so let's go out first." You help me entertain them first. As he spoke, his feet had stepped over the threshold.
Tao Zhimo searched all the nearby streets and alleys, but never saw Ananda. Also, if she can find it, then what else are those officers and soldiers going to do?
Seeing the sunset falling, Tao Zhimo returned to the store tiredly.
"Dafuku, are you back?" Seeing her come back, Li hurriedly called out to the courtyard, "It's time to eat!" and at the same time closed the door of the store.
"Mother......" Tao Zhimo cried out in frustration.
"What's the matter? listless? But you're hungry? Today, my mother made the sauerkraut meat you like to eat, and the duck soup with tea tree mushrooms...... "Li is full of interest, it's rare to have a guest at home, and today he is killing chickens and ducks." She has the heart to entertain Mama Li and the two girls, hoping that they can accompany Dafu and take good care of her on the way, so that she can rest assured.
"I'm fine...... It's just hungry. Tao Zhimo squeezed out a smile at her.
Entering the hall, Tao Zhimo saw Mama Li's two daughters, worthy of being twins, with identical faces and figures. The appearance is a little pretty, perhaps because of the practice of martial arts, and the posture is also a little sassy.
"Twilight Rain and Cai Wei have seen Fu Gongzi!" the second daughter clasped her fists and saluted her.
"The two girls are polite. Tao Zhimo hurriedly returned the salute with a fist.
As soon as Tao Zhimo came back, everyone had a meal, and together with a few masters of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, more than a dozen people gathered around a large table.
At the banquet, the glasses were changed, and the two daughters gradually became familiar with them.
"I heard that Fu Gongzi is going to travel far away in the near future, if I don't dislike it, the two of us are willing to walk together, I don't know what Fu Gongzi wants?"
Tao Zhimo put down the wine glass and politely refused: "Thanks to the two girls, they don't dislike it, but they ...... As a man, Daifuku walked with two girls, and I am afraid that there will be many inconveniences on the road. ā
"What's this!" Cai Wei smiled cheerfully, "Children of the rivers and lakes, don't be informal! When we were in the layman's dart, we also ate and slept with a group of brothers! You can't say that we 'dislike' us because we are women, right?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
"That's right!" Dazhi also smiled and persuaded, "Fu Gongzi, if you have important things to do, you can let them escort you to the ground and then leave on your own." It's just a dart trip for us. ā
As soon as Dazhi's words fell, Dayong continued, "Moreover, we know each other well, this dart can give you a twenty percent discount!"
"This ......" Tao Zhimo was still hesitating, but everyone persuaded her in a few words as if she had said it before, so that she couldn't refuse, "That's it, that's it...... So be it. ā
"That's it!" Dazhi smiled heartily, "I wonder where Brother Daifuku is going this time?"
"I'm ......," Tao Zhimo paused, "I'm going back to Yanzhou." ā
"It's a long way back to Yanzhou, and it's better to have someone to accompany you. Don't worry, the two of them are masters and have a good martial arts, so you can keep your road safe!" Da Zhihao said with a hearty smile.
"Huh, by the way! It seems that the second master is also going to Yanzhou, right?" Dayong suddenly patted his thigh and said.
Dazhi's eyes lit up, "Yes, the second master will come to us to inspect in two days, and he will also go to Yanzhou to do business after the inspection." I tell you, these two masters are legends in our dart game, black and white! Everywhere they go, the thieves are terrified!" Dazhi raised his eyebrows when he mentioned the second master, and his admiration was overflowing, "If the Dafu brothers feel that it is inconvenient to travel with the second daughter, then there are two masters to accompany them, and there will be companions on the road!"
Tao Zhimo frowned slightly, walking with the two women, Shang Ke was more alienated because of the difference between men and women, and did not let them discover their identity as women. But if a man comes, what should he do?
It's just that now I really can't find a reason to refuse for a while...... I couldn't help but glance at Li for help, but Li was also embarrassed, and I didn't know what to do.
"Again, let's talk about it......" Tao Zhimo only took a sip of stuffy wine.
"Brother Dafu, I want to drink too!" Xiao Changhuan came over.
"No, children can't drink alcohol. "Tao weaving foam is colorful.
"Yes, the Master said, 'Don't drink too much.' Drunkenness is the ugliest!'" Aman echoed.
"But Brother Aman also drank it just now!" Xiao Changhuan said unconvinced.
"IāI've only had a small drink, and I'm not drunk!" replied dissatisfied.
Seeing that the two little guys were about to quarrel again, Tao Zhimo hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, I'll give you a try, but I can only try a little bit." She said as she picked up her chopsticks and dipped them in her glass, "Open your mouth." ā
Xiao Changhuan immediately opened her cherry mouth obediently, and Tao Zhimo quickly clicked it in her mouth, and asked with a smile: "How does it taste?"
Xiao Changhuan closed his mouth and savored it, "Hmm...... It's kind of sweet. As he spoke, he smiled proudly, and squeezed his eyebrows at Aman and said, "Look, I'll drink it too!"
Seeing her innocent and lovely appearance, everyone laughed.
Soon, there were only leftovers on the table, and the men Tian Xiongguang and Dazhi Dayong were all so drunk that they couldn't even walk steadily. Tao Zhimo drank osmanthus wine, but he accidentally drank a few more glasses, and after standing up, he was blown by the wind and felt a little drunk.
Li and Mama Li were busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shuangxi took Aman and Xiao Changhuan out to play. On the side of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, Miss Luo took Twilight Rain and Cai Wei back to settle down, and Dazhi and Dayong helped each other back to the Dart Bureau.
After sending everyone away, Tao Zhimo staggered upstairs with a handrail, closed the door after entering the room, and then took off his hat and coat, and went to bed to rest.
Now that my mind is so dizzy, I don't want to take a shower, just wait for tomorrow to wake up.
The two of them staggered back to the dart game, but as soon as the door of the dart game was closed, where was there still a trace of frivolity in the steps of the two?
"Big brother, who do you say this Tian Xiongguang is? or ...... I'll take a look at it later?"
"Do you think he's really drunk?" Dazhi said coldly.
"He's also fake drunk?" Dayong was surprised.
"I see how much he drinks, and he is not below you and me. ā
The two were silent. originally thought that this Tian Xiongguang was just a reclusive man in the rivers and lakes, but after checking his ancestors for three generations, he had nothing to do with the rivers and lakes. From birth to the present, his life has been like an ordinary person, without a trace of breaking obstacles, it shouldn't, it shouldn't be.
But if he is an ordinary person, then where did his martial arts come from?
"Big brother, didn't he join the army?"
"You mean...... He learned his martial arts in the barracks?"
"It's not impossible. Dayong suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that he is ......"
The two looked at each other and understood in their hearts. No wonder, no wonder he came to investigate them, he suspected them with his keen anti-reconnaissance skills.
"Very well. Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief and paced back to his room.
***
"Strange, why is there no one?" Aiqin pushed open the courtyard door and called softly a few times, the air was vaguely filled with the smell of vegetables after being full, "Hmph! I want to have a big meal today, and I don't call us!" She was a little disdainful in her heart, and put down the basket she was holding heavily, "It's a shame that my mother still thinks about you, and I made dumplings and sent them to you today!"
"Is there anyone?" she called out in a strange way, and went up to the second floor, wouldn't everyone run out to play? After coming out, he saw that the door of Tao Weaving's room was open, and knocked lightly, "Cousin, are you here?"
Aiqin has some contempt for Tian Dafu's cousin in his heart, she is a year older and is so short, and she doesn't know how ugly she looks, and she can't see people all day long with her face covered. At the beginning, her mother still wanted her to marry this Tian Dafu, saying that she would be close to each other! At first, she didn't want to, who wanted to be short and poor, but later, she let him sell wine and flower tea to make a fortune, and she couldn't help but regret it a little in her heart.
I knew that I didn't dislike him at the beginning, and when I went to his tea stall to help, I didn't want to be greedy for those small bargains and make him so embarrassed. If she's kinder, maybe he'll like her. Hmph, if he likes her, she doesn't necessarily like him! If he comes to ask to marry her, she won't necessarily agree.
Seeing that no one inside answered, she gently pushed open the door, Tian Dafu's room she had never entered, and she didn't know what treasures were hidden inside? After pushing open the door, she smelled a faint smell of sweet wine wafting in the air.
Drunk?Wonder, how did this room look like a woman's boudoir?, she probed her head and called, "Cousin?" in a soft, tentative voice.
No one answered.
She only heard the sound of soft breathing from behind the screen, she tiptoed to the screen, and saw a figure lying behind the curtain on the bed, she immediately stopped, and did not dare to go any further, waiting for him to wake up suddenly would be in trouble. He was about to turn to leave, but saw that the hat he usually wore had been removed and placed on the dresser.
Her heart moved, and if she didn't wonder what this cousin looked like, it was fake! I didn't know how ugly he looked? Is it a crooked melon and a cracked date? Or is it a lack of a nose and an extra eye?
She lightened her hands and feet, and gently covered her mouth with one hand, afraid that she would scream in fright when she saw his appearance, which would not be good.
