Chapter 88 Brave the hardships and dangers to take the snow lotus

Although Xiahou Yi was rescued by this caravan that seemed to be no different from ordinary merchants, in fact, with his character, it was impossible to believe in these people, although these people were all Daqi people.

"Brother Xia, it's time to eat!"

Xiahou Yi was stained with the light of his honest and honest face, the people in the caravan treated him well, and at least three meals a day like this could be provided on time.

When he was rescued, he didn't say his real name, but made up a name called Xia Hua, saying that he went up the mountain to pick snow lotus to make some money. At this time, there are indeed some medicine farmers who ignore the risk of being buried by heavy snow and go up the mountain to collect medicines, because the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains is more rare in winter, and the price is therefore ridiculously high.

What he made up for himself was that this man named Xia Hua finally picked the snow lotus, but he was unlucky, after going down the mountain, he happened to encounter bandits attacking the team of Daqi escorting grain and grass, he himself did not hide from it, not to mention that he was also affected, and when he fled in chaos, he didn't know which side of the person was slashed in the black light, he reluctantly climbed to a safe place, but he didn't expect that the place where there was no one was simply a straight and steep slope! The results can be imagined.

The man named Xia Hua made up by Xiahou Yi was so bad that people didn't know what to say.

Probably because of this sympathy, Hu Laosan, who cooked in the caravan, has always been very good to Xiahou Yi, and when he ate, because of the acquiescence of the big shopkeeper who took the lead, he himself secretly gave Xiahou Yi something delicious.

Since Xiahou Yi is a medicine picker, this role is naturally well-informed, so Hu Laosan likes to chat with him when he eats, and Chong Cui is used as a concoction for rice after tea and dinner, and Xiahou Yi is willing to say a word to him because Hu Laosan is good to him.

There was a little sun at noon on this day, the northwest was originally cold weather, and now there is no wind in the sun, and the weather is really rare.

At this time, it was the time when the caravan stopped for repairs, and Xiahou Yi was an injured person who was picked up halfway. Naturally, he followed the groceries behind, Hu Laosan leaned on the carriage to bask in the sun after eating, and chatted with Xiahou Yi by the way.

Xiahou Yi was stabbed in the back, and after half a month of recuperation, he was bumpy all the way. Okay, it's very slow, his original destination was Xiliang Mansion, but he didn't want this business trip to go back to the capital, just the opposite distance.

He analyzed the current form, with this body injury. Even if he arrived in Xiliang Mansion, he couldn't do anything, although he had arranged it properly and according to the situation that night, they did let the sneak attack of the bandits successfully burn the grain and grass, and the original purpose was achieved! It is estimated that Ding Shengzai will not be any worse than the one who wants to stay, and the only accident is probably that he will be injured, so the top priority is to send back the news that his life is worry-free......

"Brother Xia, is the fresh snow lotus on the mountain really white and transparent?"

Hu Laosan's words pulled Xiahou Yi's thoughts back a little, and he said a little quietly: "Huh? Third Brother Hu, haven't you seen the Tianshan Snow Lotus? I used to sell the snow lotus I picked from the mountains to the merchants who were on the road! ”

Hu Laosan smiled a little unnaturally and said, "Look at what Brother Xia said, Lao Hu and I are a cook." People don't receive the goods from me! ”

Hu Laosan is a somewhat careless person, he can't do these things at all, Xiahou Yi has already become a fine How can he not see the weakness of Hu Laosan's heart when he asks these words, but he is not annoyed, and he is wary of strangers.

Hu Laosan asked again: "How did Brother Xia fall, I still haven't figured out Lao Hu!" ”

Xiahou Yi thought that he didn't know who sent Hu Laosan to question, he really had no generals in the army, but he was cheaper, to see if he could ask for some useful news from Hu Laosan's mouth, he said with a wry smile on his honest face: "If Third Brother Hu asks me what the Tianshan Snow Lotus looks like." I can tell you a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, or eight, and I have saved for a living from this, except that I am not the parents of Tianshan Snow Lotus, and other things such as shape, size, and color. I can tell you about the growth time, when it is best to pick it, and the medicinal properties! ”

Hu Laosan was obviously embarrassed, and Xiahou Yi didn't seem to see it.

He looked very sincere, and said with a difficult face: "Third Brother Hu, I really can't tell you how I fell off, but it's a pity that I ran in vain." I almost got into it with my life, but I lost none of the snow lotuses I picked, and I don't know who is cheaper! There are seven or eight in total, and I originally sold it for a hundred and ten taels of silver."

Speaking of this, the corner of his eye skimmed Hu Laosan, and sure enough, seeing a pity look on his face, he smiled secretly in his heart and continued to pretend to be pitiful.

"Hey, I don't know which gang of people it was that night, even if it was cheaper than those who were soldiers, at least the soldiers were fighting for their lives, protecting our Daqi, even if they gave them Lao Tzu no loss! The most damn thing is that if it falls into the hands of those bandits, it is equivalent to giving them what Lao Tzu got out of his life in vain! Let them pick up a big bargain, and with the money in their hands, they don't know how to harm the people around them, the third brother said, isn't it? ”

Hu Laosan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You don't have to worry, you may not know when you were in a coma, I heard that there were bandits who attacked our Daqi grain and grass that night, but although the grain and grass were burned, the bandits were also caught a lot!" ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Hu Laosan quietly approached Xiahou Yi and said: "According to reliable information, those people are not bandits at all, but spies sent by Dog Rong, pretending to be bandits to spy on the enemy. ”

Xiahou Yi pretended to be surprised and said, "Dog Rong? ”

Hu Laosan hurriedly put his index finger in his mouth and "shhh": "You can be quiet, I still heard it secretly for the big shopkeeper's meal!" ”

"So your snow lotus, ten times likely, they were picked up by our Daqi, and it's not too much of a loss!"

Xiahou Yi knew the news he wanted to know, and pretended to be very distressed and said, "Hey, if I can move, I really want to catch up and ask them to see if they have seen those snow lotus ...... I picked."

"Sneer......" Hu Laosan sneered: "Brother Xia, you are really whimsical!" ”

Xiahou Yi took the opportunity to ask again: "Then let's forget about our Daqi soldiers?" ”

Hu Laosan was also interested, and only said: "Then how can it!" "I was about to say something, but I heard the team in front of me say that it was leaving!

The two had no choice but to stop the topic. (To be continued.) )
