Chapter 357: See you on the road
The man pouted and said, "Wait a minute. ”
With that, he ran back to the courtyard.
Chu Yueqing listened, he seemed to have called someone out.
After a while, she saw that the previous man had brought a ten-year-old child, and the child stared at Chu Yueqing carefully for a while, and then said, "You want to spend the night at my house?" ”
Chu Yueqing nodded.
The boy asked, "How long?" ”
Chu Yueqing lowered his voice and said, "One night, one or two silver." ”
As she spoke, she spread out her palm, and there were a tael of silver on it.
When the little boy saw her silver, his eyes lit up, obviously satisfied with the money she had given, but then he frowned and pondered, "Is there a bad guy chasing you?" ”
Chu Yueqing hooked his lips and smiled, secretly sighing that this child was so cautious, that is, he said, "No, I'm just in a hurry." ”
The little boy looked at her cautiously several times before saying, "Okay, I'll let you stay for one night." ”
As he spoke, he quickly took the one or two pieces of silver from her hand, turned around and went back, shouting: "No matter what you eat, if you want to eat when you are hungry, you have to add extra money." ”
Still a little money fan. Chu Yueqing smiled silently, and then led the horse into the courtyard with the previous man.
The man pointed to a thatched house to the west and said, "Uncle, you should live in this room first." This room belongs to his brother, and he likes to be clean on weekdays. ”
Chu Yueqing's eyes raised slightly, pushed open the door, put the burden on the bed, and nodded lightly.
The man turned and went out.
Not long after, there was another knock on the door.
Chu Yueqing frowned slightly, got up and opened the door.
There was a woman standing in front of the door, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old.
The woman smiled, held two dishes in her hand, and said, "Childe, my younger brother is not sensible, don't be surprised." This is a dinner for you. ”
Chu Yueqing looked at the tray, on which was a bowl of rice and a scrambled egg.
It's as simple as it gets.
But she also knows that for farmers living in thatched houses, this is a luxury.
She invited the woman into the house, and took out a tael of silver from her purse and gave it to her, saying, "Food." ”
The woman put the food on a small table near the window, turned to see Chu Yueqing stretching out her hand to give her money, and instantly blushed and said, "Childe, you gave one or two pieces of silver before, which is enough." The little woman will not dare to accept your money again. ”
The woman was very shy, and then turned around and went out of the room.
Chu Yueqing looked at the broken silver on his palm, looked at the food on the table, and sighed slightly.
Tomorrow, when she leaves, leave them some silver.
She sat down at the table and ate her meal briefly, and from time to time she heard the sound of quarrels in the hall.
The little boy blamed his sister for not receiving the money, and his sister said that it was worth only a few pennies, so how could she ask for it with a clear conscience.
And their elder brother is persuaded by the left and the right, and is a peacemaker at both ends.
Slowly, the sound of quarrels in the hall gradually fell, and the sound of three people hugging their heads and crying came.
With the sound of crying, Chu Yueqing fell into a light sleep.
But I didn't want to, this sleep went from shallow to deep, and I slept past the hour.
It wasn't until there was the sound of insults and smashing things outside that she woke up.
It was drizzling outside, and she couldn't tell what time it was.
Chu Yueqing stood in front of the window and looked at the miserable situation outside.
"If you don't pay today, Lao Tzu will smash your home and buy Sister Wen to the city!" A strong man pulled the woman's arm and said.
Hearing this, the little boy rushed over, took out the silver in his hand and said, "We will pay back half of it first, and the remaining half will be returned to you tomorrow!" ”
The strong man took the silver and said, "Half? This is not even enough interest, what are you going to pay back?! ”
The little boy said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, my eldest brother clearly only borrowed two taels of silver from you, and I just repaid you one tael, why is it not enough." ”
The strong man said: "It's right that your eldest brother borrowed two taels of silver, but three breaths a day, you calculate, how much silver should you pay back today?!" ”
Chu Yueqing frowned when he heard the words in the room, this person was clearly coming for the woman in this family.
She glanced at the unpacked food on the table, and with her sword on her back, she opened the door and walked out.
Dahan was stunned when he saw her come out, and then anger flashed on his face, and said: "Okay, Quanzi, I treat you as an honest person, why is this to find a good home for Sister Wen'er, so I am justified in arguing with Lao Tzu!" ”
Dahan pinched the broken silver in his hand again, and said: "This tael of silver should not be obtained by selling Sister Wen'er, you were still unwilling to give you five taels of silver at the beginning, why is it sold for one tael of silver now!" ”
The little boy suddenly ran to Chu Yueqing's side, shook her arm and said, "Please, save my second sister!" ”
Chu Yueqing shook off his hand and said to Dahan, "I'm just passing by." ”
After that, he went back to the house and took his baggage, and when he came out again, he was ready to leave.
Although she wants to help the family, she also understands the truth that she can't help for a while, and she still has to rush to Qunanguan, so she can't delay any longer.
But when she came out, she found that her horse was gone.
Chu Yueqing frowned, "What about the horse?" ”
As soon as he turned around, the little boy pounced on her again and said, "It's them, they took your horse away!" ”
Without a horse, she has no means of travel.
Chu Yueqing's eyebrows were deep, and he walked up to the big man and said, "Give me back the horse." ”
The big man glanced at him and knew that he was also a soft bone, so he said, "What kind of horse, I haven't seen it!" ”
The little boy said, "That's him, that's him!" As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the horse, and then asked his second brother to take the horse away. In order to help you save the horse, my sister also took a kick! ”
Chu Yueqing glanced at the woman, seeing that she was covered in mud and had a few strands of horse hair on her clothes, so she believed the little boy's words for seven or eight points.
Chu Leqing looked at the big man coldly and said, "Give you one last chance, hand over the horse!" ”
Dahan also looked at him with disdain: "Get out of your grandmother's legs, Lao Tzu will also give you one last chance, now walk out of this courtyard gate, Lao Tzu will not trouble you!" ”
Chu Yueqing's eyes sank slightly, and he took a step back.
Dahan was happy in his heart and looked at her with contempt.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Chu Yueqing drew his sword out and put it on the neck of the big man, the sword body was still glowing with a strange red light, Chu Yueqing's words became deeper and lower, "Return the horse." ”
Dahan was startled, but then he pulled Sister Wen beside him into his arms, grabbed her neck with his big hand, and said, "If you dare to kill me, I will strangle her!" ”
Chu Yueqing's face was expressionless, and he said, "Then let's compare whether your hand is faster or my sword is faster." ”
Dahan was a little stunned at this time, but he still said stiffly: "I don't believe you dare to kill me!" ”
As the words fell, Chu Yueqing used his strength, and the red feather sword cut a bloody mark on the big man's neck. She raised her eyes to look at Dahan: "What now?" (To be continued.) )
