Chapter 19: Laundry by the well
The next day, Ling Yunchong learned from Chu Jiu that Ren Qingyang was suffering from the wind and cold, and grabbed herbs to decoct in the room by himself, so he came to the door to take the initiative to care, walked to the door of Ren Qingyang's room, knocked on the door and shouted: "Boss Ren." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" I could hear Ren Qingyang's voice in the room and asked, "Who?" Ling Yunchong replied: "It's me, Ling Yunchong." ”
Ren Qingyang walked to the door but didn't open it, and asked, "What's the matter?" Ling Yun said: "If it's convenient, can you let me enter the room for a while?" The door opened, Ren Qingyang stepped aside and said, "Come in and sit." Ling Yunchong couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was wrapped in a white handkerchief around her mouth and nose. Ren Qingyang said angrily: "What are you laughing at? This is a good way to treat the cool breeze and cold in the northwest area. Rare and weird, really. ”
Ling Yunchong said with a smile: "Boss Ren is really a talent, and he even has a lot of research on medical skills. I heard Brother Fang say that the poisonous arrow in his Middle East factory was solved by Boss Ren. ”
Ren Qingyang said: "I only know a little about the skin, not to mention research, the antidote was given to me by a female doctor." ”
Ling Yun said: "Such a precious thing, the boss must be willing to take it out." Boss Ren has a good heart and a warm heart, and he has repeatedly helped people and saved people, but why did he have to decoct the medicine himself when he violated the jade body, but he didn't tell them to help you in the ninth year? ”
Ren Qingyang said: "Didn't you see that the inn was not staffed enough?" So many guests want this and that, how can you do it without someone to serve you? Ask Chu Jiu to help me decoct the medicine, why don't you help make money. In these years, people are warm and cold, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can rely on them. What you can do, you will never pretend to others. ”
Ling Yunchong took the initiative to care and said: "Seeing and knowing each other can be regarded as fate, the two of us are friends in the end, what is the need, you might as well tell the truth and try your best to help each other." ”
Ren Qingyang said disapprerovingly: "Let's live on the knife edge, live on the abacus, everyone has nothing to do with each other, in the end, it's not self-care, what do you say to help each other, it's all nonsense." ”
Ling Yunchong walked in front of her, squatted in front of the brazier, and said with a smile: "Let the boss's words be extraordinary, there seems to be something unspeakable, the so-called time is easy, let you cover the sky with one hand, there is always a time when your hands are tired, not to mention the mysterious person who comes and goes without a trace, the origin is definitely not small, just the hand that was revealed that day, I am afraid that no one here is his opponent, whether this person is an enemy or a friend, and it is still unfathomable. ”
Ren Qingyang said in his heart: "It seems that he doesn't know that that person is actually Uncle Fu, and thinks I'm worried about this matter." Or maybe he had guessed that it was Uncle Fu and came to me to find out. I pretended not to know, but what about him? Then he threw him a disdainful smile, and took the opportunity to sneer: "Have you caused less trouble?" I don't care about this trip anymore. "Alluding to the romantic story told by Ling Yunchong, it is to die in the world.
Ling Yunchong smiled and didn't care, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, let me help you." Ren Qingyang saw that he wanted the blowtorch in his hand, so he handed it over.
Ling Yunchong blew the charcoal fire and said with a smile: "I've always liked to watch the excitement, stand by and watch the tiger fight from the other side. But this time, I can't bear to see you alone. ”
Ren Qingyang was slightly surprised and asked, "Why do you think so?" Ling Yunchong's expression was also a little puzzled, he didn't know that if there were ripples, it would be difficult to calm down anymore, after thinking for a while, he seemed to understand, raised his eyebrows happily, and said with his eyebrows dancing: "I also ask myself so, hehe, maybe...... I'm really ...... you."
"Ahh As he spoke, he went to serve the medicine jar, "This medicine looks like it's almost done." "Walk over to the table and pour the medicine into the bowl.
Ling Yunchong stood up and said, "Then you lie down by yourself for a while, and I won't bother you." Ren Qingyang drank the medicine and said, "I won't send it." ”
Of course, Ling Yunchong was clear in his heart, Ren Qingyang thought that he wanted to make a bad idea, and he had already been on guard, but she was taking the initiative to refuse.
Ling Yunchong heard this, and prepared to walk out of the room. He was just about to pull the door out, but he suddenly heard Ren Qingyang stop him: "Ling Gongzi, are you really willing to help me?" Ling Yunchong was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect Ren Qingyang to stop him and turn around immediately, but when he saw Ren Qingyang looking at him with a smile, he said, "Very willing." I just don't know what Boss Ren is going to help with? ”
Ren Qingyang's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Then let Lao Ling Gongzi help me wash the bucket of clothes placed in the patio." You know how inconvenient it is for me to catch a cold. ”
Ling Yunchong was stunned in his heart, it was not that he was out of line, but he never expected this woman to be so astute, she originally wanted to help her find out the mysterious master, but she pretended to need a helper in the store, and deliberately diverted the conversation, not to help herself, but to do irrelevant things by herself.
Just thinking about it, he heard Ren Qingyang say: "What's the matter, Young Master Ling?" Didn't you just say that if I really need something, I might as well tell the truth, and you should do your best to help? Now that I have told the truth, such a trivial matter as washing clothes is just a gesture, does Ling Gongzi also want to resign? So what's the point of helping out? When she saw that he was thoughtful, she immediately spoke out.
Ling Yunchong smiled and said, "Of course not." As long as the boss speaks, how can I refuse? Actually, it's a lot of fun to try to be a buddy. Ren Qingyang said: "Eh, I didn't treat you as a buddy." Ling Yunchong's face just now instantly brightened, walked up to Ren Qingyang, and asked with a smile: "Then what are you and me?" ”
Ren Qingyang saw some cynicism in his eyes, and then thought of the romantic story he said, and suddenly understood that there was something in his words, so he remained silent, pretended not to know, and deliberately changed the subject: "I have silver taels in my pocket, do I still need to beg?" Ling Gongzi is a distinguished guest in our inn, how dare you be a partner? My inn temple is small, and the food is not good, Ling Gongzi is willing to come to our inn to settle down, it is really our blessing. ”
Ling Yunchong said with a smile: "Where is this, Boss Ren's Wufu Inn is well-known, thoughtful, fair, genuine, and clear at a glance." These words are in Ren Qingyang's heart, because Wufu Inn is indeed as honest as Ling Yunchong said, fair business, and Tong Suo is not bullied, Ren Qingyang was very happy and satisfied when he heard it, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Ling Gongzi is really a caring guest of our inn, listen to you say this, okay, I have peace of mind, I finally didn't make you a friend in vain." ”
Ling Yunchong said with a smile: "The two of us are friends who have experienced life and death together, Boss Ren is a friend below, how can he not have a heart below?" Okay, I'll go do the laundry now. After you finish drinking the medicine, remember to lie down for a while. Then he walked out of the room and closed the door.
Ling Yunchong didn't expect Ren Qingyang to ask him to wash his clothes, but this just gave him a good opportunity to find out the whereabouts of the box of silver. When I saw the wooden bucket full of clothes next to the water tank, I couldn't help but be stunned, there was really a lot to wash.
Ling Yunchong looked through it, and saw that there was a woman's dress and a bed of embroidered bedding to cover his face, so he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said in his heart: "These should be Ren Qingyang's clothes." This woman is really good at being a good person, and she even asked me to be a dignified man to wash her clothes. Although he thought so in his heart, his face was full of joy.
I started washing with water, and as I washed, I looked around the back kitchen and saw where the box of silver might have been hidden. Ling Yunchong has inspected the rooms of Ren Qingyang and his men and other guests these days, but he has found nothing, the furnishings of the inn room are almost the same, except for a cabinet, a table, a few stools, and a bed, there is no hidden place that can hide such a large box, and the only possible place is the back kitchen, so he took the opportunity to pay special attention.
Ling Yun rinsed his clothes, and suddenly heard the sound of "pop, pop, pop" chopping wood outside, this sound was not as messy and bulky as ordinary people, but it was like a martial arts master practicing swordsmanship, in an orderly manner.
Ling Yunchong was very curious, and walked to find the sound, but saw that the person who was cutting wood with his head down was Uncle Fu.
"Good knife technique." Ling Yunchong praised, glanced at the firewood that had been chopped and put aside, picked up one in his hand, and said: "The incision on the firewood root is flat and neat, and there is no dent at all, which shows the speed of using the knife." The broken lines on the firewood are scattered, without a trace of streaks, and the strength of the knife is extremely fierce. This man is definitely a good hand with a knife. He threw away the firewood in his hand, walked to Uncle Fu's side, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it the person who uses the knife?" Uncle Fu raised his head and didn't say anything, just stared at him quietly, as if asking, "Why are you here?"
Ling Yunchong smiled and said, "Uh...... You must wonder why I'm here, how can an innkeeper be in the back kitchen when he doesn't stay in the room, how can he do his laundry here. As he spoke, he raised his hands and rolled up his cuffs to show Uncle Fu, "Hey, your boss asked me to do it for her, what?" Don't you know? That, that, that," she said, gesturing to the bucket of clothes, "look, look, these are all her clothes, her quilts. Uncle Fu glanced at the barrel under his finger, turned around and chopped wood again.
Ling Yun said: "Your method of chopping wood, your hand is up and down, clean and neat, in this desert, there is actually a good knife hidden, it is indeed a rare thing." However, the sword burying the earth and the martyr dancing alone are the most heart-wrenching regrets in the world. ”
Ling Yunchong saw that Uncle Fu didn't seem to be listening, and still only cared about chopping wood, and said, "Since Your Excellency has a heart to help others, why do you want to hide it?" It may not be possible to undo some of the injustices and injustices of the past, but it is a good thing to do everything in our power from now on to prevent the recurrence of those things and the recurrence of tragedies. Uncle Fu still didn't say a word, picked up a bundle of firewood and walked straight to the kitchen.
Ling Yunchong had clearly said that he knew that he was the master who rescued Ren Qingyang under Cheng Yayan's sword that day, but he vaguely felt that he had some unfair past, so he lived in seclusion here. Ling Yunchong secretly speculated about the connection between Uncle Fu and Ren Qingyang, he thought that of course Ren Qingyang knew that Uncle Fu's martial arts were excellent, they were the master and servant of colleagues for many years, of course Ren Qingyang knew that it was Uncle Fu who saved her, and there was no one else, that day she pretended to chase out to check and let everyone think that the inn was a mysterious guest, but in fact, she just wanted to cover up Uncle Fu's identity, even if everyone knew, she would not admit it, but instead made a detour to let Ling Yunchong go to wash clothes. Uncle Fu is a martial arts master, and he is an extraordinary martial arts master, this is the conclusion that Ling Yunchong has reached.
