Xie Xiang was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Liu Shang would have such a peculiar thinking, so he hurriedly said, "No...... If there is no such thing, Yunjiao, you have always been the most bold and generous to squander money...... Of course I won't, and I'll have to be sure to see you're safe and sound. ”

Liu Shang nodded and said, "That's it, don't say that useless thing, I regret it when I see you like this......"

Uncle Liu hurriedly said: "Don't argue with the two sons, they are all old slaves, it's the old slaves who are greedy for the road, and the heart of the villain, even if that's the case, I'll go and tell everyone to be calm and not be impatient, anyway, the road is long, and I don't fight for this day or two." ”

Looking at Liu Shangmaimai's gaze, Xie Xiang unconsciously twisted his face to the side slightly.

The little thistle saw the old man Ye open the small door in the backyard and walked straight to the edge of a vegetable patch, and picked up a handful of plants with wide leaves, which had slightly purple leaves.

"This thing can stop the bleeding and stop the pain...... Stop athlete's foot. ”

Old man Ye said to the little thistle who was following behind him.

"Cure beriberi?"

Xiao Ji asked with some suspicion, is this old man mistaken?

"Yes to stop ......"

Old man Ye also knew that he couldn't explain clearly to this little guy, so he simply corrected it, put the cleaned fresh perilla into a pot, scooped a scoop of water and poured it in, opened the bellows, and soon boiled it into a half small pot of purple boiling water.

……

Several people helped Xie Xiang take a bath and change clothes, and cleaned and bandaged his bruised and swollen feet, and tossed for a long time.

Xie Xiang suffered this crime, and his hair stood on end with pain, and the whole person was in good spirits.

It wasn't until Old Man Ye applied a kind of black hemostatic and analgesic powder to his worn feet, and after a full hour, Xie Xiang felt that the cone-like pain was relieved a little.

Xie Xiang estimated that Old Man Ye's black powder might have something mixed with poppy husks, in ancient times, ordinary people could only know that it could relieve pain.

Fortunately, Old Man Ye took the medicine powder for him to compress, not to eat, the most important thing is that as long as it can not make his feet hurt so much, he will be grateful.

At noon, Liu Shang asked Xiao Ji to take the silver and asked Old Man Ye to prepare the wine and rice.

One is to suppress Xie Xiang's shock and comfort his injured little heart. the second is to thank the old man Ye; I can't see that this humble little innkeeper really has some unexpected skills.

Anyway, I can't go today, and it's very dangerous for people who go out with bulk goods to miss the accommodation, and Liu Shang won't do such a stupid thing.

Besides, I haven't had a good word with Xie Xiang yet.

In Liu Shang's heart, this is the most important thing.

As for making money, as long as he Liu Dagongzi has goods, he is afraid that the silver is not comfortable?

Although Uncle Liu is still thinking about the itinerary in his heart, it is not good to show his face.

Although Childe does not regard himself as a subordinate, and he is also entrusted by the master to take care of and educate Childe when he leaves, he is not his father after all, and he has to turn a blind eye to what he wants to do.

Besides, although people who do business must be compared, they also pay attention to money and dung friendship is worth a thousand gold, since Gongzi and this Gongzi Xie are classmates, it seems that they are so in love, and they are still tight-lipped if they are spoiled by the scenery.

Uncle Liu went behind his back to inspect the goods placed in the yard and the mules, horses, and cattle tied to the trough, and stared at those porters and servants, so as not to take the opportunity to drink and play cards to delay things, and to be out of sight and out of mind.

Old man Ye quickly picked up a few vegetables he had grown, got a chicken and a few fish, rabbits and pheasants and other game from a hunter at the head of the store, and also cleaned up a simple banquet with a unique flavor.

"Childe, forgive me, we can't sell decent wine here, these are home-brewed coarse rice wine, let's just take a look."

Smelling the pungent spiciness, the wine urn opened by Old Man Ye, Liu Shang scolded: "Why did you get out of Linhuai is a place where this ghost doesn't?" Stealing a spare child can't even buy a good glass of wine to eat? ”

Old man Ye hurriedly nodded and said, "Little Lao'er is really powerless, even if he goes to Wuzhou City to buy it, it will take half a day to go back and forth at the earliest." ”

Xie Xiang, who was wearing Liu Shang's very ill-fitting wide robe, held his feet wrapped in white cloth, and said with a cold smile: "It's just a little bit, Linhuai is not a big place, not to mention that it is out of Wuzhou, there is still a small shop here to rest, and you can get a few things to eat, but I am afraid that if you continue to walk, there may be people who will stay in the barren mountains and mountains." ”

Liu Shang deliberately glared at Xie Xiang: "Just forget the pain when the scar is healed, and start looking for bad luck for me again, right?" ”

Xie Xiang hurriedly shook his hand and smiled: "Yunjiao, I don't dare...... I'm telling you the truth, okay, think about it, if it is better to go from Linhuai to Huguang, if it is better from the waterway, how can the dry road not pass through some desolate places? ”

Xiao Ji, who had been standing next to him without saying a word, suddenly said: "I'm not afraid of the desolate dry road, but I don't dare to go on the waterway, the government doesn't say anything about the taboo, and the robbers in the water don't blink an eye, and they can't even find the bones." ”

Liu Shang grabbed a pair of chopsticks and was about to knock on Xiao Ji's head: "Bah, bah, I actually said something bad to my uncle, did you discuss it?" ”

Xiao Ji was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, shrunk his neck and hid to the side, Xie Xiang wanted to laugh, but he felt as if his toes were vibrating and hurt, Old Man Ye said in a low voice: "Now the world is really not peaceful, the homeless people in southern Shaanxi are making more trouble, and the nobles try not to go over there." ”

Xie Xiang asked casually: "How is Taiyuan now?" ”

Liu Shang asked very quickly: "Shopkeeper, do you know a lot?" ”

Old man Ye paused for a moment, and first replied to Xie Xiang: "I haven't heard what happened here in Taiyuan, it's probably Ansheng, why does the son have relatives in Taiyuan?" ”

Then he replied to Liu Shangdao: "It's all news brought by some guests from the south to the north, the nobles are going to Huguang anyway, and it won't get in the way, but what this little brother said is not false, if you really want to go to Huguang to do business, although it is more difficult to take the dry road, it is indeed as strong as a waterway." ”

He also respectfully invited Liu Shang and Xie Xiang and said: "The two sons, please eat, the little old man does not dare to accompany him, and it is the same to eat after serving the two of them." ”

Liu Shang has always been bold and habitual, their family has come to business, and they attach great importance to some capable subordinates, and they often have to be on an equal footing, so they do not have that kind of dislike and attention to the dignity and humility.

Hearing Old Man Ye say this, he waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper, let you sit down and eat with us, you will sit down, I don't like it anymore, you are the master here, we are just passing by, you rescued Gongzi Xie, I just show my heart." ”

Old man Ye saw that Liu Shang was indeed sincere, so he confessed again, and sat down with his body diagonally at the end.

Looking at Old Man Ye and Liu Shang's concession, Xie Xiang hesitated for a moment before answering Old Man Ye: "My father originally asked me to go to Taiyuan to meet his teacher, but ...... I'm not going to go now, but I'm just asking. ”

Liu Shang heard what Old Man Ye said that was a well-known whisper, so he threw away his curiosity about Old Man Ye and turned to Xie Xiang and asked, "Why?" Xiao Yu, aren't you ambitious to go out to study, just go to Taiyuan, maybe there will be unexpected benefits waiting for you or unknown. ”

There was a lot of ridicule in the words.

Xie Xiang smiled bitterly: "I can't go even if I want to go now." ”

Liu Shang said disapprerovingly: "Aren't you just grinding a few blisters on your feet, although you looked a little scared just now, you can heal in only three or five days, why can't you go?" ”

Xie Xiang shook his head in frustration: "It's not a matter of legs and feet, it's ...... I lost my guide, and the letters of my father to his teacher were all lost in one baggage. ”

Liu Shangqi said: "That's right, you don't tell me well, what demons and monsters did you meet in Wuzhou City?" Throwing away his armor and running away all night? Could it be that the city of Wuzhou was robbed? ”

Xie Xiang shook his head, if he didn't say it, he knew that Liu Shang couldn't explain it in front of him, so he didn't know where to start.

Old man Ye suddenly said without opening any pot and mentioning which pot: "It's okay for the son to lose the gold and silver, but it's troublesome to lose the guide." But beyond the boundaries of this province, it is difficult to move an inch without a road. ”

Seeing that Xie Xiang was silent, Liu Shang looked at Xie Xiang and asked, "Do you think you might find it back?" ”

The implication is that if Xie Xiang thinks that what he lost can be redeemed with silver money, he will immediately try to do it for him.

Xie Xiang shook his head: "No need, I want to go home......"

Liu Shang hurriedly said: "Go home? Aren't you afraid that your uncle will be disappointed in you? It's only been a few days since you walked out, and you went back with such a lost soul? If those people in the county school knew, they wouldn't be thinking about your jokes? Oh, Xiao Yu, just tell me what's going on, isn't there me now, where can you go with me? ”

Looking at Liu Shang's all-encompassing posture, Xie Xiang sighed unconsciously, and said with some difficulty: "Yunjiao, I understand what you mean, but ......"

Liu Shang picked up the wine cup in front of him and said to Xie Xiang: "There is nothing to do, Xiao Yu, since you and I are like brothers, there is no need to say more politely, in fact, whether there is a guide or not is not a thing, so let's do it, I happen to have a shortage of Mr. Ledger, today I will wronged you to temporarily fill this Ledger Mr. Okay?" ”

Xiao Ji also hurriedly said obediently: "Exactly, Mr. Xie, our son doesn't like to settle accounts the most, every time I don't know how much famine we have to fight for those numbers, if you make us Mr. Bookkeeper, you will be a lifesaver for all of us." ”

Xie Xiang was so amused by the little thistle that he wanted to laugh, but he still shook his head a little deflated.

With this appearance, doesn't it clear that following Liu Shang is just eating rice?

Mr. Bookkeeper or something is just a pretext, Liu Shang just wants to help him fulfill his wish to continue his study tour.

The more he was grateful to Liu Shang, the more he felt that such a useless person should not drag down such a sincere friend.
