Chapter 45: Towards the Middle Capital
Then a maid came up to us, blessed us, and told their master that he had pleased. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
We followed her around the living room to the inner hall. The three brothers of the Hu family were sitting in front of the hall, and Ye Keting waited for me to bow to them. Hu Yitou asked us to get up and arranged for us to be seated.
At this time, there was an old man with a medicine box to check my pulse. I was diagnosing here, and Hu Yitou said to Ye Keting over there: "Young Master Ye, I once had a relationship with Ling Zun, and I admire Ling Zun's bearing and mind very much. Seeing you today is better than the wind of the Father. ”
Ye Keting's expression was indifferent, and he shook his head slightly: "Uncle Hu has won the award." I never thought you could know who I am. I'm afraid that you have already known Wen Mingkong and his son. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the woods so easily today. I'm seven feet dignified, I'm not afraid to fight with you, but she's a woman, if Uncle Hu is really like the people of the rivers and lakes, please don't be embarrassed for her. ”
After hearing Ye Keting's words, I quickly withdrew the hand that was diagnosing the pulse, grabbed the doctor's pulse with my backhand, and glared at him viciously.
Hu Yitou laughed: "Young Master Ye is really smart, but the virtuous nephew's guess is not entirely correct." I've heard of the name of the mud bodhisattva, but my three brothers didn't have the chance to meet him. Although the three of us occupy this forest for a living, we will not be able to live long without the protection of the government. It was the second prince who sent someone to inform us to intercept the two of you, and when you entered the forest just now, there were actually a group of killers who followed in and reported your identity to me. In the gambling game, you guessed my means, I could have detained your people and sent them back to Pingcheng, but after all, I didn't do it. ”
I'm a little confused when I hear this, uncle, your position is too wandering. Ye Keting was obviously also a little confused, and was listening to his next remarks.
Boss Hu looked at me and smiled: "Little girl, you let go of the doctor's hand first, you pinched our doctor's sweat." Listen to me slowly. I looked up and saw that the old man was looking at me speechlessly, and I smiled and let go of my hand, patted the back of his hand, and asked him to continue to check his pulse.
Boss Hu continued: "I know that my nephew has figured out some rules for me to set up gambling games in a few times, but you can be calm between life and death, not greedy or poor, and you are young, this kind of bearing is very rare, which is one of the reasons why I didn't do anything to you." And the second child values that you can use your own gambling money just to protect this girl's thoughtfulness, which is the second reason. The third and most important point is that the three of my brothers have a cousin, Hu Guang, who has been favored by Lingzun. Today, the three brothers are only to repay the favor, and will not do anything unfavorable to the son of the benefactor. Otherwise, if you want to take your life, it's just a matter of going back and forth in the gambling game. ”
The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. That's what I'm talking about, if the elderly accumulate virtue and do good, they will definitely benefit their children. On the contrary, the children in the family are annoyed by others, and they may not be beaten when they go out, which may not be their own reason. Thank you, Uncle Ye.
Ye Keting got up and waved at the three Hu brothers, thanking them for their mercy.
Hu Yitou helped Ye Keting up and said to him sincerely: "Don't be polite to the virtuous nephew, it's just that the three of us brothers look at the scenery, but they are actually controlled by others." The daily profit of the money shall also be paid on time. Therefore, it is really difficult for us to arrange for someone to send you two into the middle school, I will arrange for the doctor to prepare the wound medicine, prepare a carriage and silver for the two of you to send the two of you on the road. ”
I happily thanked the three brothers of the Hu family, and Hu Lao Er asked me with a smile: "The little girl is not guarding against us?" Although he was seriously injured, his eyes were dripping, and his mind was not thinking about it for a moment. ”
I laughed and said, "Today, the three uncles have let me know that thieves also have a way, righteousness is thin and cloudy, where else can I be guarded, it's too late to admire." ”
Hu Yitou suddenly lowered his face and asked me: "We cut off our hands and feet, and take people's lives, aren't the little girls afraid?" ”
I rolled my eyes and told them: "Naturally, you are not afraid, according to Keting and Uncle Hu, your gambling game is mysterious, but Uncle Hu still gave these gamblers a chance to win." It's just that they don't know how to restrain, so they lose their hands and feet. If they can take this opportunity to mend their ways, they can save their lives, but if they still do not repent, that is, the mission will be lost in the heavenly forest, and it will also reduce the burden on their families. Not only do I not think you are so cruel, but you are chivalrous! ”
After I finished speaking, the three brothers of the Hu family laughed, and Hu Laosan pointed at me and smiled: "I originally thought that I was sorry for the master from the old business, but let this girl say this, I have become a chivalrous man." ”
I saw that they were happy, and I couldn't help but persuade them tactfully: "It's just that if this goes on for a long time, the heavenly forest will still be terrifying, and the number of people who come will definitely gradually decrease." It's better that if someone loses in the future, we won't take away their hands and feet, but let the masters in the forest point their crisp and laughing points, so that they can experience the taste of not being able to survive and not be able to die, and it will not let them be disabled for life. In this way, the reputation of the Heavenly Forest will be even louder in the future, and it will really become a well-known chivalrous place, and outsiders will not misunderstand the three uncles. What's more, with Uncle Hu's craftsmanship, it is not a problem to win money to maintain the use of the forest. ”
Hu Yitou stroked his beard and nodded at me, and said with a smile: "The little girl is so clever, she is full of praise, and she pleads for these gamblers, and her words make the old man very useful." But maintaining the use of this large group of people is not as simple as you think, I have your opinion in my ears, if it is feasible, I will do what the little girl said. ”
Ye Keting looked at me and smiled slightly, turned around and asked the three brothers of the Hu family with some concern: "It's just that the pursuers are already in the forest, I don't know how Uncle Hu will deal with it." ”
Hu Yitou patted Ye Keting on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, we have already solved those people, and with them, the flowers in the back garden can bloom more beautifully." ”
My spine was cold, and I couldn't help but look at Ye Keting, who also frowned slightly, and quickly turned pale as usual. It seems that the two of us still have to leave as soon as possible, the master left early, and these people are not very thorough. After a while, they will regret it, and it will be time for me to grow flowers next year.
The Hu brothers wanted to keep us for dinner, but we politely refused. When the doctor prepared the medicinal powder, the Hu brothers gave us some silver money, and then sent us on the road. Ye Keting and I sincerely thanked them, got into the carriage, and ran away without a trace.
After I fumbled in the car and got the medicine powder, I opened the car door, leaned on Ye Keting's side and asked him curiously what the rules on the gambling table were?
He drove the carriage and told me: "The dealer sets up a gambling game with the aim of making a profit. Hu Lao will work hard, can listen to the sound to distinguish the number of dice, he always let a few people win money, most people lose money, so that he can profit from it. I carefully distinguish the sound of everyone's dice, but I can also vaguely guess everyone's point, so slowly I naturally found the way to win. ”
"So what if you guess wrong? In the future, guessing the fist can only come out of the stone. And, you've figured out the rules, why not win more, our next stop can be to the Sifang Chengxia restaurant, I heard that there is a building outside the building, steamed sea bass is a must. ”
Ye Keting looked at me and shook his head, pinched my face lightly and said, "Where are you like a wild girl from the mountain, which restaurant is delicious and you are more familiar than me." After speaking, he said with a straight face: "What if you guess wrong, I originally wanted to use a pair of hands to exchange for your peace." But I know one thing very well, the casino is impermanent, how do you know that Hu Yitou will not suddenly change his routine, and one step is life-threatening. I'm not afraid to be alone now, but with you, I'll hum when I'm hungry, I'll be coquettish when I'm tired, and I'll get into trouble if I have nothing to do, what can I do without me? ”
There was a lot of pampering in his words. I put my arm against the car board, applauded vigorously, and said to Ye Keting: "Ye Ershao, you are so good!" ”
He looked at me smiling softly and asked, "And then?" ”
I looked at the sunset in the distance and told him in surprise, "The sunset is so beautiful!" ”
Ye Keting tilted his head to look at me: "And then?" ”
I looked down and thought, "I'm hungry!" ”
He shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "You will marry the eater in the future, anyway, you don't want anything else with them." ”
I thought about it and thought it made a lot of sense.
