Chapter 2 Bridge Town Companionship

The baby cake is soft and soft, elastic, and there are large and small honeycomb holes on the surface, take a bite, the sweetness is slightly sour, in addition to the rice fragrance and the fragrance of sake lees. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Jiu took another bite, hey, is there no stuffing?

After biting a baby cake, Zhao Jiu realized that this thing was the same inside and out.

"Hehe-" Zhao Jiu was also amused by himself, and couldn't help but laugh twice, just like the little boy before. There was a man in brown clothes in a tavern by the river, who also had a faint smile on his face, and he got up and walked out after closing the wine money.

"Little brother, where did you buy the things in your hand?"

Zhao Jiu raised his head, there was only one baby cake left in his hand, he looked at the person in front of him who was wearing brown clothes and carrying a burden like him, and was slightly stunned, then reacted, quickly turned around and pointed to the river and said, "There-"

However, the peddler had already gone far away, and it was a little troublesome to catch up with him, so the man could not help but sigh and said, "Alas, it seems that I can only come back tomorrow!" Little brother, you're not from here, are you? ”

If he asked Zhao Jiu first who his surname was, Zhao Jiu didn't plan to answer him, but since Zhao Jiu had already agreed to his baby cake, it shouldn't seem bad at the moment, but Zhao Jiu had palpitations and didn't dare to make friends with people easily. The man looked at it and said with a smile: "My name is Meng Hui, Suicheng people's clan, everyone calls me Meng Wangjun, do a little business, just arrived here, my stomach is still hungry, I see that you want to buy a few things to taste, oops, it's a pity, it's a step lateβ€”β€”"

Meng Hui was wearing a brown gown, the cuffs were rolled up two fingers wide, and he had a smiling face when he met everyone, looking like a shopkeeper, and his tone was obviously different from that of the people in Bridge Town. Zhao Jiu didn't look like a bad person, thought about it, and handed over the remaining baby cake, and said, "I've already eaten four, this one for you to taste." ”

"Thank you, little brother!" Meng Hui was also polite, took the baby cake and took a bite, and said, "It turns out that it is made of rice!" Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, stepped forward and planned to go elsewhere, but Meng Hui caught up and said, "Little brother, go slowly, I don't hear your accent like a local, since I ate your cake, I can't make you hungry." That's it, there is a noodle restaurant in front of you, I invite you to eat a bowl of noodles, and it can be regarded as our fate! ”

"It's just a cake, no need-" Zhao Jiu was still polite, but Meng Hui dragged him to the front: "Little brother, just nod, if you let your friends know, they will laugh at me for bullying the small!" Oh, just ahead, you seeβ€”"

There is another small bridge in front, there is a small restaurant next to the bridge, and a banner is hung under the eaves, Zhao Jiu doesn't recognize the words on it, but he also knows that it is a place to eat and drink. Meng Hui dragged Zhao Jiucai to the door and greeted the runner, extremely enthusiastic: "The two guest officers, please, we have wine, meat and noodles here, I don't know what the two guest officers want to eat?" ”

"Two bowls of noodles, the soup should be hot, and then two taels of beef!"

"Hey, sit down, I'll be here right away!"

The matter has come to this, Zhao Jiu is embarrassed to go again, where is the four little baby cakes he ate, coupled with the aroma coming out of the house, Zhao Jiu's stomach can't help but gurgle, only to hear Meng Hui said understandingly: "Little brother, you are friends when you go out, and if you have more friends, you can just eat this meal today!" ”

"That-" Zhao Jiu and Meng Hui arched their hands and said politely: "Thank you Brother Meng!" ”

Meng Hui asked Zhao Jiu where he came from, and Zhao Jiu said that his surname was Zhao Mingjiu, and he came from Nanshan County and wanted to go to his relatives. asked his relatives where they were doing what they were doing, Zhao Jiu made up an uncle, but he didn't say too clearly that his father was seriously ill at the time, and he didn't understand whether it was Xunyang City or Xuanyang City, so he went before he understood it.

"Xunyang City is going west, you are going north, and Xuanyang City is in the north!" Meng Hui picked up the bowl and drank the noodle soup clean, and said, "I'm going to Xuanyang City this time, I'll rest here for one night today, and I'll leave tomorrow." I don't think you have any companions, do you want to come with me? ”

I heard that Xuanyang City is bigger than Pingyang City, so I hope I can find out what Mr. Qin has ordered there. Thinking of Mr. Qin, Zhao Jiu's mind became a little more active, he didn't know the way, it was better to have a companion than not, even if he nodded yes. Meng Hui smiled and settled the account with the store, and asked Zhao Jiu if he stayed with him, Zhao Jiu said that there was a place to live, and Meng Hui did not insist on it, and the better the two met, the place and time they met the next day and separated.

The coil given by Elder Tie was as much as two pieces of money, Zhao Jiu had never seen so much money, and he was worried all the way. He didn't dare to go to a crowded place, and naturally he didn't dare to live in a hotel, for fear of leaking money and being calculated. Fortunately, there are also dilapidated temples in Qiao Town, and Zhao Jiu stepped on a place according to the rules of the beggar gang, avoided the crowd, and rested. He had a dream, he dreamed of lotus flowers, and he dreamed of flowers. Huahua grew up a lot, and when she saw him, she screamed, but Lotus's faceβ€”he couldn't see it clearly.

Zhao Jiu woke up, the corners of his eyes were wet. He reached out and touched his arms, the thing was still there, Zhao Jiu wiped his eyes, raised his head and looked, it was just dawn, he had nothing to do, so he practiced cross-legged. Until the sun came out, Zhao Jiu got up and found water to wash his face, bought some food by the river, and waited for Meng Hui in front of the noodle restaurant yesterday.

Meng Hui was also punctual, still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday and came unhurriedly, and he also bought two buns for Zhao Jiu, which made Zhao Jiu feel embarrassed. Zhao Jiu didn't know the way, and Meng Hui said to him carefully: "From here to Xuanyang City, you must first pass to the ferry port of Guanxi Town, from there take a boat north to Jingyang City, and then take a boat from Jingyang City to Xuanyang City." ”

"Brother Meng, can't you take a boat directly from Guanxi Town to Xuanyang City?"

"Let's go north to Xuanyang City, we have to pass through Jingyang City, Jingyang City is big, on the river, on the river - we have to stop there, one is to do shopping, and the other is to pay tribute to King Zhulong."

Zhao Jiu thought it was the king of the pig cage, but after thinking about it, Mr. Qin often said that there are many roads in the rivers and lakes, and each road has its own leader, presumably the king that Brother Meng said is a person. Sure enough, Meng Hui was afraid that Zhao Jiu wouldn't understand, so he continued: "King Zhu Long is the overlord on the water surface of the Three Rivers, and if the ships that come and go don't pay tribute to him, they will lose all their people and money. Jingyang City is the world of King Zhu Long, and the emperor can't control it! ”

After Meng Hui said this, Zhao Jiuda probably figured it out, he thought to himself that the Zhu Dragon King was far from the heroes in Mr. Qin's story, the heroes in the story were all characters who robbed the rich and helped the poor, but the Zhu Dragon King dominated one side, and he must not be a good person. Thinking that Cai Juxian is the helmsman of the beggar gang and the leader of the dominant side, but he ended up like that, which can really be described as providence. I don't know how the battle of the Zhu Dragon King compares to Lord Cai?

"Brother Meng, you know so much!"

"Where, the more you walk, the more things you know."
