"What do you want to drink, two of you?" The old woman raised her head from behind the stove and smiled kindly.

"A bowl of tea, a bowl of water for this kid." Mo Wenli threw away his horsewhip and sat down swaggeringly.

The old woman carried the copper teapot, poured a bowl of tea for Mo Wenliman, looked at Yu Yan who was standing on the side, took a big bowl, and filled a bowl of white water.

"Little brother, drink." She looked at Yu Yan kindly, and the two quaint magpie-shaped silver pendants on her ears swayed gently.

Yu Yan hurriedly took it, took a sip, and put it on the table.

"Why didn't you cross the river without a boat? I'm going to cross the river to run errands. ”

Mo Wenli took out the handkerchief embroidered with skull orchids, put it on the table with a big grin, took out another ingot of gold, and touched it on the table.

The old woman turned her head to look, moved her little foot to the willow tree, and shook the brass bell on the tree.

The bell rang a few times, and a lean black-faced man climbed up from the grassy slope under the willow tree, whispered a few words to the old woman, and walked quickly to Mo Wenli.

After looking Mo Wenli and Yu Yan up and down, the black man picked up the orchid handkerchief on the table and whispered, "This thing is good, where did the master buy it?" ”

"Oh, in the silverware shop in Huai'an, the shopkeeper said that you can drink good tea here, and you can see good orchids when you cross the river." Mo Wenli stroked his long beard and shook his head arrogantly.

"If you want to see orchids, one ingot of gold is not enough." The black man picked up the gold and shook it.

"Hmph, sir, what I have is money, and this gold is for this old woman."

Mo Wen's eyes were slightly slanted, and he became more and more arrogant. Nouveau riche, rich man! That's what virtue is. He turned his head, pointed to the big fat horse he was riding, and asked Yu Yan to go and get the money bag. A whole bag of gold, on horseback, was several ingots at a time.

"Ship fare." Mo Wen tilted the corner of his mouth, "Paddle the boat more steadily and faster for Master Ben." ”

"Wait." The thin man got gold, and his face looked much better.

Yu Yan pretended to be dumb, carefully observing the expressions of the man and the old woman, as well as the surrounding environment. This river is called Guyue River, surrounded by mountains on the other side of the river, there is a fishing village, the village is full of smoke, a peaceful scene.

This kind of place shouldn't have anything to do with the murderous and unblinking Mulberry Gate, right?

After a while, the black man came over with a boat and waved at the two of them.

"Guest, get on board."

Yu Yan tied the horse to the willow tree, and laboriously carried a large money bag and followed him to the boat.

The wind is light and the river is gentle.

The boat broke through the clear water and moved forward slowly. An osprey circled a few times, suddenly plunged headlong into the water, took a fat fish and landed on the bow of the boat, swallowed a few bites, and then spread its wings and flew away.

Yu Yan was happy, and as soon as she was excited, she raised her hand and slapped Mo Wenli's arm, ready to let him see a big fish with the length of an arm swimming in the water.

The slap was quite heavy, and the person who supported the boat immediately turned his head to look at it.

Mo Wenli squinted his eyes, looked at Yu Yan hatefully, and said slowly: "Beat it well, master, I rode a horse, and my back hurts." ”

Yu Yan reacted, hurriedly bowed her waist, put her hands on his back, and gently beat her shoulders.

The boatman turned his head away and focused on supporting the boat.

When they arrived at the dock, several little boys were running into the river naked, about to play in the water. When they saw the two of them coming, they huddled together and said something, and when they picked up the pebbles, they threw them away.

"Go away." The boatman yelled a few words and blasted a few people away.

"Stinky baby." Mo Wen left the water on his clothes, walked forward with a black face, looked left and right, and asked loudly: "Master, I want to see your leader, I can afford to pay the price, I will do it to the master, and I will be rewarded." ”

"Okay, I'll take you to see you now."

The man squinted and smiled, looking ruthless. led the two of them through the dilapidated huts in the small village and walked directly to the back mountain.

The wind sends the fragrance of orchids, climb up a small hill, and look down, it is actually a valley full of phalaenopsis. Deep shades of purple form a sea of purple on the sunny side. Colorful butterflies fly among the orchids, and birdsong sings from time to time, which is pleasant to the ear.

So beautiful! Yu Yan praised it in her heart.

"What about your chief?" Mo Wenli was not interested in the scenery and asked impatiently.

"I'm the leader, don't you look at orchids, this is orchids." The man bent down and pulled a dog's tail grass and poked between the teeth of the big yellow tooth leisurely.

"You dare to tease Master Ben, do you know who I am?" Mo Wen was angry, and he waved his palm to hit the man.

Unexpectedly, the man flexibly turned around, Mo Wenli was like a wheel, and rolled straight into the orchid bushes under the hillside, until he rolled out of the distance, before he let out a cry of pain, was submerged by the orchid bushes, and disappeared.

Yu Yan was stunned, Mo Wenli actually missed, what a tragic bloody tragedy will happen here!

But she wasn't surprised for long, a man and a woman came from the depths of the orchid bush, dragged Mo Wenli up, threw him to the ground, searched him for a while, and finally beckoned to it.

The thin black man picked up Yu Yan, walked a few arrows to the bottom of the hillside, and threw her to Mo Wenli's side.

"What do you want to do! If you have something to say, I will give you all this gold. Mo Wenli's white face turned even whiter, grabbed Yu Yan's shoulders with both hands, pretended to be timid, and hid behind her.

The thin black man pulled the money bag open and poured out a dozen ingots of gold and a stack of silver tickets.
