Chapter 58. Whose horses love salt

Unlike the salt official, whose nostrils were facing the sky, the "Lao Liu" on the side had a simple face, and said, "Why don't you park the carriage here and stand upwind?" ”

Cheng Shi waved his hand, covered his nose and frowned, and said, "No need!" ”

The salt official was still insufficient, and sneered: "Take care of your livestock, if you pee on this high-grade official salt, you will not be able to eat and walk around," he suddenly pointed in a certain direction, and exclaimed, "What's the matter! How did this brute steal salt! ”

He was talking about Sha Qing's mount, which lowered his head and licked the salt of the white flowers on the ground without anyone noticing.

Sha Qing hurriedly pulled the reins to stop it, and kept scolding in his mouth. The salt official was even more unreasonable, and asked with a righteous face: "What's the matter!" Let you wait for a moment and become dissatisfied, and pluck the beasts to spoil our salt. Licked by this little beast, how can you still get salt from this piece of land. ”

Cheng Shi knew that he was using the topic to play, but who taught his junior brother's horse to be angry, he had only heard that sheep liked to eat salt, but he had never heard that horses liked to eat. Before he could say anything, the whip in the salt officer's hand was about to poke him in the face: "That beast has also started to eat!" ”

Cheng Shi looked back and saw that his mount was actually licking the salt on the ground in a mouthful, and he shouted to Xu Qiu: "Don't go and pull the horse away!" ”

Xu Qiu's buttocks seemed to be stuck to the wheels, and he didn't move, shouting at the two horses that commanded the carriage to retreat, and said calmly: "I can't spare my hand now, Senior Brother Cheng will pull it by himself." I had to take precautions, and the two little ones in the province also started eating. ”

Cheng Shi couldn't, pulled his horse and retreated a few steps, threw the reins to Xu Qiu, walked back to the salt official, tried to slow down his tone and said: "Official, we don't want the pestle to delay the workers' work here, and we hope that the official will make it convenient to move the cloth to another place," After that, he quietly stuffed the hanging copper coin to the salt official again, "The official master kept it for tea." ”

Who knew that this trick didn't work this time, and the salt official didn't show a good face after receiving the money: "These workers have a fixed amount of salt to hand in every day, and now these two pieces of salt are useless, and they have to be steamed and dried again, so their previous hard work is not in vain?" ”

When Cheng Shi heard this, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out: Die to your mother, who are you pretending to love the people like a son! He forcibly suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you say, sir?" ”

The salt officer's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Otherwise," he pointed to the two places where the horse had licked with his whip, and asked, "Who dried these two pieces of salt?" ”

Lao Liu said straightforwardly: "It's me and Lao Wang." ”

The salt official nodded, and continued to Cheng Shi: "You give them a tael of silver, just buy this piece of salt, and get out of here after you pay the money," he muttered again, "If you don't have a salt lead, you have to buy salt, it's really cheap for you." ”

Cheng Shi rushed to the top door from his chest in one breath: one or two! Why don't you grab it!

You must know that one tael of silver can buy six or seven stone of grain, and five stone of grain can be exchanged for a "salt guide" with a face value of 100 catties, and regardless of whether the salt quote is a bill bought from the government by a merchant who wants to buy salt, ordinary people don't need to buy salt at all. Let's just say that one tael of silver can buy at least a hundred catties of salt, and how much can the horse lick dirty.

But he knew that the salt official was extorting bamboo and there was nothing he could do, because he implied in his words that as long as he paid the money, the salt would be moved, and they would be able to get through.

Cheng Shi had no choice but to comfort himself: After this Yanjing Village, it is Yongjing, and when the time comes, he will send people to the General's Mansion, and Cheng Yi will give Cheng Yi fifty taels or twenty taels. One or two is nothing.

Thinking so, he reluctantly took out the silver and handed it to the salt official, and saw that the salt official threw the silver to Lao Liu without looking at it: "You and Lao Wang split it." ”

Cheng Shi scolded in his heart: Fake! Sooner or later, I will not be honored to you.

Fortunately, the salt officer collected the money and began to instruct the workers to clean up the salt drying on the official road. After a while, the road was cleared and the space for the carriage to pass through Guò was cleared.

Xu Qiu still had to look at it again, and Cheng Shi was already impatiently urging: "Look at what to see!" Let's go. As soon as he got on his horse, he felt that his horse was screwing all the time, as if he wanted to take a few more sips of salt. Cheng Shi desperately grabbed the reins so that the horse would not run back.

I didn't expect salt to be so attractive to horses. Cheng Shi was afraid to stay for a moment longer, and the four horses didn't know how to lick more, so they urged loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

The group quickened their pace and rushed out of Erli in one go. Cheng Shi suddenly heard a "snap" behind him, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and before he could see it, he felt dizzy and staggering, and he fell from the horse all of a sudden, losing consciousness.

Not only him, the previous sound was the movement caused by Sha Qing falling off his horse, and soon after Sha Cheng and the two fainted, even his horses were weak on their legs and feet, and they knelt on the ground on their front knees.

Xu Qiu's figure flickered, he jumped out of the carriage, leaned over to check the situation of the two senior brothers, and found that they had been drugged, and their behavior was exactly the same as that of the previous senior brother Ning. Xu Qiu secretly screamed badly, and as soon as he sat on the ground, he heard a woman's voice behind him: "This is so powerful, it hasn't fallen yet." ”

This one? Is it me?

Xu Qiu was no longer able to move, but his consciousness was still clear, when he saw two figures rushing out of the diagonal thorns, one of them jumped into the carriage in three steps and two steps, and the other struck him casually at the side of the neck. Xu Qiu only felt a sharp pain in his neck, and fainted.

Before fainting, there was only one thought in his mind: it was the salt official who hit me!

"I'm not going back!"

Dongfang said with a blank face, seeing that no one answered, he smashed the wall of the car with a fist: "Stop!" ”

The blue silk curtain was lifted, and a sentence immediately floated in: "This is coming, don't you want to go home?" ”

Dongfang said in a deep voice: "Father is going to die!" Once his old man is in the sky, he will never be able to go back. ”

Su Musha's expression was dazed, and he said in a low voice: "I know, but ......"

"There is no 'but'," Dongfang shook the car wall again, "I am determined to get the Soul Bead!" He softened his tone, "Miss Su and Brother Bookworm's high righteousness, I will keep it in my heart." But now, I can't go back. ”

The bookworm driving said lightly: "It's too late." ”

"Yes, it's been so many days, and the beads have arrived at Yanxia Villa early." Su Musha added

Dongfang heard this, gritted his teeth and glared at the two people in front of him, although he did not make accusations, but the sense of surprise and anger overflowed on his face, and he said after a while: "Why...... You're coming to save me...... and not to get the beads back......"

Su Musha heard a deep sense of helplessness from these words, and knew that for Dongfang, although he was grateful to them for saving him and saving him from humiliation, the momentary humiliation was really not worth it compared to his father's life.

"I have no skills with worm uncle, so we can only take care of one head. You must take this official road to Beijing," Su Musha sighed lightly, "But the beads are not necessarily, whether they will take the land route or the water route, whether it will be a detour, we don't know." If it goes wrong, it will be a failure at both ends. ”

This is reasonable, and it is indeed a safer thing to come to the rescue of the East. But Dongfang alone dared to take the mercenaries of Lingyun Villa to fight the idea of the Soul Bead, which was obviously not a person who sought stability in everything. He raised his eyebrows, and before he could say more, the bookworm had already interjected:

"It's useless, it's not going to work."

“……”

Dongfang Yi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh? ”

"It's too much." The bookworm continued.

(The heroine's diary 48, read ten days in June, and finally didn't miss both ends)

Author's words: Change the way of saying the date, follow the lunar method, and divide the month into three periods: the first to the tenth day of the first month is "Shuo", the 11th to the 20th is "Wang", and the 21st to the 30th is "Nian". For example, the seventh day of the first month of the month is called the "seventh day of the new year", and the sixteenth day is called the "sixth day of hope".

When you read ten days, it means thirty days.

I won't change the previous chapters.,I'll write like this in the future.,Until you get tired of changing the third way to it~.
