Chapter Eighty-Six: Smoke

Jiang Chun blinked his eyes and waited for the next with an interesting expression. It's hard to travel long distances, and it's boring on the road, so it's great to have such an interesting story to relieve your boredom.

Xiao Han stared at her wide-eyed, and finally simply turned his head, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

There was no good story, Jiang Chun was very disappointed, and sighed: "Alas, it turns out that you don't know either." ”

"Who said I don't know!" is to pretend to be an adult again, after all, there are few things to experience, and others can't stand it if they misunderstand and provoke, Xiaohan secretly regretted it after refuting, bit his lip, pulled the quilt on his head, and ignored Jiang Chun.

It's just a story, Jiang Chun is also bored to ask, but when he thought that Jiang Quinoa had read a lot of books and books, maybe there would be more and more interesting stories, so he turned to pestering Jiang Quinoa.

This time, I didn't plan to go to the capital for a long time, and the books and scripts were given by my cousin, Jiang Quinoa was reluctant to crumple the book, and when he left, he took the book down again, wrapped it carefully, and stuffed the book into a camphor wood box and locked it.

She was not good at telling stories, and most of the books she had read couldn't remember clearly, but at this moment, Xiaohan's name evoked the stories in the books, but she could come up with two or three interesting ones, so she adjusted her sitting posture and told the story with great interest.

Jiang Buchu is young, and he doesn't like to read such scripts of talented and beautiful women, and he doesn't know what to buy for Jiang Quinoa to read, so he pulls his classmates to ask them every time. Fortunately, he has a few classmates who love to read travelogues, and there are also sisters at home who love to read books and listen to books, and they can always get good books recommended by them.

Jiang Quinoa is telling a strange little story about a fox repaying his kindness this time. There are no talented and beautiful women in it, but there is gratitude and kindness, and there is also human nature. It's also interesting to listen to.

This time, Jiang Quinoa learned to be obedient, the story was told in a much more detailed way than the previous one, and it naturally took a long time, and when Chen Bo's voice came from outside, Jiang Quinoa found that they had spent the whole afternoon in storytelling. And I don't know when, Xiao Han has woken up, listening to her story intently with big wet eyes.

Scar had arrived to meet them half an hour earlier. Jiang Quinoa was fascinated by telling the story, but he didn't notice it.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I was taking care of the sick during the day. Jiang Quinoa: They are also very sleepy. When they arrived at the inn, they invited a doctor to come and see Xiaohan's injury, knowing that she was no longer in danger of life, as long as she recuperated with peace of mind, they were also relieved. Let Xiaohan drink medicine at night. Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun fell asleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night. Jiang Qu vaguely felt that there was a fighting sound in her ears, but she was so sleepy that her eyes seemed to be sticky, and she couldn't open them. She thought that there were Scar and Lao Chen living on both sides of the next door, and there should be nothing wrong, so she turned over and fell asleep again.

The early morning sun shines through the window edge in the room, and the sun is shining when you look out of the half-open window. The weather was fine.

Jiang Qu yawned and sat up, stretched out his arm, and felt that the whole person was stretched. Immediately refreshed. Dressed and got up, she carried a wooden bucket and went out to the kitchen to ask for hot water, and it took two steps before she realized that something was wrong.

"Chun'er, wake up." Jiang Quinoa ran to the side of the bed and pushed Jiang Chun, who was still asleep, in an eager tone.

Jiang Chun snorted, rubbed his eyes, and said with a thick sleepiness in his voice: "What's wrong?" It was not easy to live early in the morning. ”

Jiang Quinoa lifted the quilt and looked left and right, but no. There was no one else on the bed except Jiang Chun, could it be that she had hysteria?

"Chun'er, have you seen Xiaohan?" Jiang asked Quino.

Jiang Chun yawned and said, "Didn't Xiaohan sleep at my feet?" As he spoke, he moved his feet, but he didn't touch anything, so he said, "Hey, what about people?" ”

Every corner of the room was searched and Xiao Han couldn't be found, not even a little of her was left, if it weren't for Jiang Chun's memory of Xiao Han, Jiang Qu would have thought she was dreaming.

The two couldn't find it, so they had to go out to find Scar and them, and finally knew the news of Xiaohan.

"Somebody came over last night." Scar said with some surprise: "They were so strong that they blew smoke into the house, and I almost caught fire." Although we escaped later, you two must have inhaled a lot of smoke. ”

Jiang Qu's eyes widened when he heard this, and the disgust on his face flashed. At that time, Jiang Youcai and the others were planning to use the smoke to stun her, and then do that dirty and dirty thing.

Scar also knew that this was his dereliction of duty, but he also admitted that his skills were not as good as others.

"The man didn't mean anything, I looked at the little girl who knew who was coming, and she was very happy. I fought the man, and he was very good at kung fu, but he didn't fight again when the little girl spoke out. Scar said: "That little girl's identity should not be simple, those people are secretly protecting her." I don't know what happened to cause her to be seriously injured and hide in the hut, and almost died. Fearing that we would reveal their whereabouts, and that the little girl would cause us trouble if she continued to follow us, they made the decision to stun us with smoke and then quietly take the little girl away. ”

There is another thing that Scar didn't say, the man who came last night said that they left the inn where they stayed yesterday with their front feet, and someone went to search with their back feet, and the pharmacy where the little girl was treated was also smashed because of the death of someone. It's useless to tell the two little girls about such a thing, and it will make them worry.

Jiang Quinoa remembered that she heard the sound of a fight in a daze last night, and thought that it should be Scar and the little girl's guards fighting. It turned out that she had inhaled drugs, so no wonder she couldn't wake up.

"Then why didn't you smoke inhale?" Jiang Chun asked curiously, when she got up in the morning, she felt groggy in her brain, and thought it was caused by not sleeping well, but it turned out to be a smoke and a mistake.

Scar was already guilty, but after listening to Jiang Chun's questioning, he didn't hide it, took out a purse from his arms and said: "A medicinal herb in this purse, although it smells bad, it is the nemesis of smoke. As long as you put the purse under your nose, no matter how strong the smoke is inhaled into your body, it will not work. This is also a coincidence of his darts when he was young.

"Thank you, Master Li." Jiang Chun happily took the purse, put it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately threw the purse to Jiang Quinoa with a bitter face: "It smells too bad." ”

Jiang Quinoa sniffed softly. Suddenly, the whole face was wrinkled. I really don't know how to describe the taste.

"Don't look at it, it smells bad, but it does work wonders. We walk outside all year round. These little things are inconspicuous, but they can save lives when it matters most. Scar said.

Jiang Qu thought about it, this time it was Xiaohan's people who came to pick her up, if the gangsters wanted to rob or something, if they didn't pay attention to the Tao for a while, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Then Master Li should keep this purse well." Jiang Quinoa hurriedly handed over the purse.

Scar waved his hand: "I still have some medicinal herbs here, you can take this." Use it if it's useful in the future. If it's useless, it's considered deworming. The smell of this herb is peculiar, and ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants run away when they smell it. ”

Jiang Chun wrinkled his nose and waved his hand and said, "Don't give it to me, don't give it to me, this smell is too bad." I can't stand it. You just like to attract insects, and you just carry your purse. ”

This smell is really not something that ordinary people can bear, Jiang Quinoa thought that she is indeed more attracted to insect bites in summer, and it is good to have something to defend against. Smile and thank Scar.

No Xiaohan. Scar arranges his itinerary with a lot less scruples. After a few days of carriage, Jiang Quinoa and they also adapted to the bumps of the carriage, and sometimes they could sleep in the carriage, which made Lao Chen Tou sigh again and again, "The little girl is young and in good health." ”

The more you go to the north, the more the weather is getting warmer, and the spring of March is a good time to go out. Jiang Quinoa, they have been in the dust all the way. Sometimes I see the bright sunshine outside, and the warm spring breeze. There is also the kite flying high in the sky, thinking that it is approaching the capital day by day, and my heart is like this vast sky, which is open.

"Miss, just now Master Li asked someone to rest in Tongzhou tonight." Jiang Shun's voice came from outside.

Jiang Quinoa replied to indicate that he knew, and reluctantly moved his gaze away from the book that was already a little curly.

This book was bought by Lao Chen a few days ago when he was passing through the town. He also heard Jiang Quinoa telling stories in the carriage that day, the old man likes to read and write the most, knowing that Jiang Quinoa loves to read, and the time to settle down that day was still early, so he went out to see, listened to the words of the study boss, bought a travelogue and came back, Jiang Quinoa really loved it, took the book to read every day, and was reluctant to put it down even when he ate.

The things sent out have to be liked by the owner, and there is nothing more enjoyable than this.

Jiang Chun couldn't understand it, the carriage was swaying, she was dizzy as soon as she picked up the book, and she couldn't even read the words on it.

"Tongzhou? Quinoa, is the house that the court rewarded you with in Tongzhou? Jiang Chun didn't remember much, but she felt that the name was quite familiar, for places outside Jiangli Village, especially near the capital, what she knew was the place where a Jiang Quinoa's house was located.

"Huh?" Jiang Quinoa's mind hadn't been withdrawn from the book, and when Jiang Chun asked again, she suddenly remembered: "It seems to be Tongzhou, are we here in Tongzhou?" ”

The old man who was driving the car laughed when he heard this: "The old man has been running darts for most of his life, and he has traveled so many times from south to north, and he has only heard of one Tongzhou mile." ”

Jiang Quinoa blushed, only then did he know that he had asked something stupid, scratched his head, took his baggage, took out a piece of paper from it, and reported the address on it.

"Uncle Chen, you think it's convenient, let's go to the house at night. I heard that the court also rewarded the people who guarded the house, and there should be people living in it. Jiang Quinoa thought of the accommodation arrangements along the way, and he was a little hesitant. The people of the dart bureau sent her to the capital, and they didn't charge her fees, and they tried their best to give her food, clothing, and housing to take care of her along the way. At first, I didn't know that Scar and they lived in a Chase shop for a few pennies a night, and I didn't know that they ate dry food, but later I knew, she was also very grateful for the arrangement of the dart game, but she also knew that she didn't have any money in her hand, and there was no way to improve the food and accommodation of the dart masters. This is back in Tongzhou, she happens to have a house, and the house written on the deed is also quite large, how to say that it is better than the Datong shop of the inn.

The imperial court rewarded Jiang Quinoa, and the whole county spread it, and Lao Chen Tou also knew about it. But this house is in Tongzhou, he doesn't know.

"I heard that many dignitaries and nobles in the capital like to buy land in Tongzhou to buy Zhuangzi, in recent years, the low price in Tongzhou has been getting higher and higher year by year, and you even got a house, which shows the gift of the imperial court." Old Chen said.

The nobles bought land in Tongzhou, and the land price rose, Jiang Quinoa pondered these words and couldn't help laughing.

"That is, the court also rewarded the young lady with a thousand acres of fertile land." Jiang Chun said, looking honorable.

Although Jiang Xun was an official in the capital, Jiang Quinoa grew up in Jiangli Village since he was a child, and the imperial court asked the eunuch to go to Jiangli Village to announce the decree, and he must have inquired about these clearly, but he still rewarded a house in Tongzhou and a thousand acres of fertile land in Jiangli Village. Jiang Quinoa doesn't come to the capital, who will Tongzhou's Zhuangzi live in? You can't sell the things you have given you, so where can you put them and watch them? And who will feed those who are rewarded in the house?

If Jiang Quinoa came to Tongzhou, but Tongzhou only had an empty house, not even a field, and the low price in Tongzhou had risen sharply in the past two years, everyone knew her family background, where could she afford to buy land in Tongzhou? And what did she use to feed so many servants?

I didn't think about it before, but when I got here, I found that the things rewarded by the court were very interesting.

Scar heard that Jiang Quinoa wanted to go to her house at night, but the little girl passed by her house for the first time, and she was curious to go and see it.

Scar is also very familiar with Tongzhou, and walked towards Jiang Quinoa's house with a team of people.

"Is this it?" Scar asked as he rode on his horse, pointing to a simple Jiangfu plaque hanging on the vermilion gate.

Jiang Quinoa took out the deed, read the address registered on it again, Scar checked it, it was the same address, and asked the white young man who was with him to knock on the door.

"Who?" An impatient voice came from inside the door, and the door creaked open, and a man in his thirties, with a big belly, stared at the group of people outside the door with a frown.

"What for?" The man spoke in a bad tone.

The white young man glanced back at Scar, and then said in a kind tone: "Your host is here, open the door and let us in." ”

"Hey, the bluffing is also coming to my Wang Lao Wu. You don't inquire, is my Wang Lao Wu so easy to be fooled? The big-bellied man sneered and said: "The court gave this house away, I don't even know that the owner stayed in that old turtle nest, you hairy boy even dare to pretend to be the owner and want to enter the house, hey, take advantage of the uncle, I am in a good mood today, you should leave quickly, otherwise uncle, I will go to keep it and put you hairy boy in prison." ”

After the porter who claimed to be Wang Lao Wu said this, he closed the door with a bang, and the face of the white young man who stayed outside was white and blue.

Jiang Quinoa also blushed angrily.

Shaking his fists, Jiang Qu said, "Master Li, I want to ask you for a favor today." (To be continued......)
