Xiahou Ying's delay, she was sweating in a hurry, and then she looked at the female butcher Lu Qiniang, who actually arrived at the mouth of the town. Xiahou Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed, jumped off the donkey, and no longer struggled with this dumb animal.

Dare to love this female butcher actually got off the donkey at the mouth of Zhendian, led the little flower donkey, and said a few words to a wine shed. From the wine shed, a child with pigtails came out. Because it was far away, I couldn't see my face, and it looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, who reached out to take the female butcher Lu Qiniang's donkey and led it to slip away, but the female butcher Lu Qiniang walked towards the tavern outside the town next to the river.

Xiahou Yingwan didn't expect this kind of meal to eat early or late, but this tavern, the building is very chic, and it is an excellent place to spend summer.

The whole tavern was half built on the dry shore and half on the water, with five long guest seats, a long window, and a curtain full of shrimp and whiskers. Outside the window, there are five seats, all of which are one-color green bamboo round tables and small green bamboo stools, which are small and exquisite.

Drinking and eating in the high corridor, the boats in the river all rowed from under the corridor and swung past. This tavern is the name of Yingchun Fang, and it is especially beneficial to the market three times in the summer.

The female butcher walked into the tavern, and Xiahou Ying secretly made up her mind: "Don't let me be stumped by this delusional beast and miss a big deal." Fortunately, this donkey, the one who hurried to tell him, said that he would not take a mile more than the path he knew. Then while the female thief is delayed for a while, why don't I send the donkey away and find another way to follow her. When the female butcher leaves again, I can hire another footman, there are a lot of footmen at the entrance of Zhendian, and I can hire them at any time, so that this Lu Qiniang will never get away again. ”

But he thought of the lord of the castle again, and he had to report it, so he tied the donkey in a small forest, found two dead branches, and looked around to see that there was no one, and the embankment was also hidden by the woods, so he took out the fire and shook it in the wind, and scorched the cypress branches like charcoals.

He took out a piece of paper from the bag, spread it on the ground, used it as a pen, and scribbled a few sentences. It is to report to the castle owner, who was ordered to follow the female butcher Lu Qiniang, and now it is found that the bandit has been transferred to the northwest, and the road to Wulongping is divergent, so he has to put the donkey back, track the tracks, as long as he can be convinced, immediately turn back, please settle down in Wulongping, hinting at the secret of this door......

After writing a few sentences, he immediately tied it to the chewing ring, put the reins on it, and slapped it the donkey's crotch.

Xiahou Ying let the donkey go, came out of the woods by himself, and looked in front of the town. The female butcher's flower donkey was still gnawing grass in the open field in front of the town.

Xiahou Ying suddenly changed his mind again, so he slowly came to the front of Zhendian, and saw that the child who was walking on the donkey was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was very energetic.

Xiahou Ying came to him and said to the child: "Hey, what is the name of this place? How many miles away is this from Wulongping of Yanshan? Is there a shop here?"

The donkey kid looked at Xiahouying and replied, "Our place is called Fenghuangtun, and it's far away to go around Wulongping." This road here is not to go to Wulongping, but to Beiling, and it is only more than six miles away!

Xia Houying listened to the words, stroked the little flower donkey, and asked the donkey child: "This donkey is really good, the foot must not be slow! I think I can run three or two hundred miles a day, right?"

The child said, "I don't know, this donkey is not mine, how can I know how fast it can go? ”

Xiahou Ying said: "I don't want to live in the hotel now, I want to find someone in Yanshan, and then come back and settle down here." Brother, do you know where to get close to Benfen Pass?"

The donkey child said: "Oh, guest, you don't stay in our Phoenix Tun hotel, you go to the mountains to find someone." Yes, there is such a place. ”

When Xiahou Ying heard that he knew, he was very happy, and hurriedly asked, "Where is this water divided?" The donkey child said, "I don't know." ”

Xiahou Ying said abruptly: "Since you said that there is such a place, why don't you know! This is really a joke!"

The donkey boy said, "I've only heard of such a place name, but I've never been there, so how do I know where it is?" Don't be surprised, guest, you can ask others again!"

Xiahou Ying hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Brother, don't blame me, because I am not in a hurry to find someone, this water dividing pass must be a small place in the mountain col." Brother, who did you put this donkey for?"

The donkey child said: "I am here to watch the cattle for the guests who come and go, take care of the vehicles, and carry a luggage. The guests liked it, rewarded me with a few more articles, there was no change, and I would never slander him if I was busy with him. So in this Fenghuangtun area, when it comes to He Xiaobraid, there is no one who doesn't know me at the foot of the car and boat shop. I've never done anything wrong, so no matter how expensive my luggage is, how good my cattle are, I dare to hand them over. This donkey belonged to a cousin, and they were snickered in the Yingchunfang tavern and asked me to give the donkey. Only this one master has a lot of money. ”

Xiahou Ying nodded and said: "Don't look at your age, you are so articulate, I disturbed you for so long, this is two hundred yuan, give it to you!"

Seeing that Xiahou Ying asked a few words, the donkey man gave himself 200 yuan, liked it and smiled, took the money, thanked and thanked, and hurriedly said to Xiahou Ying: "Guest, you have to worry a lot, you go to the wine shed over there to drink a bowl of rice wine." That bamboo shed belongs to my uncle, I invite you to drink two bowls and rest your legs!"

Xiahou Ying secretly used a sharp knife to cut off the belly belt of the little flower donkey, estimating that as long as he got on the donkey, he couldn't walk a mile, and he would have to break. And as long as the cut is broken, it will be cut in two, and it must not be used again.

Xia Houying smiled at this time, "Brother, you don't have to be polite, I want to eat tea in the wine shed, you don't have to worry about it, take a good look at the donkey." This donkey is very valuable, you run away from others, you can't afford to pay for others, you go!"

Xiahou Ying sent the child away, walked to the Zhendiankou of Fenghuangtun, looked into the three wine sheds, and saw that a wine shed in the east of Zhendiankou was a little far away from the town, and there was a cloth tent hanging down, which was enough to hide his figure.

Waiting there for this female butcher Lu Qiniang, she will not enter Zhendian or not, she is enough to monitor her.

Before Xia Houying walked into this wine shed, this kind of wine shed can also be said to be a tea shed, because it is a tea and wine sale, and there is a row of wine bowls on the clean table, which is a color of rice wine. Around the case are several benches, on the side of which there are a dozen teapots, and next to the case is a stove with a long-spouted copper kettle stewed, and the water in it is boiling hot.

Xia Houying came to the tea shed and sat down on the bench.

The wine seller in this wine shed hurriedly asked, "Are the guests eating tea and wine?"

Xiahou Ying made a bowl of tea, and while eating tea, he accosted the tea seller.

This time I have learned to be obedient, and I know that it is difficult to get the truth when I inquire about this water pass, so I tried to inquire about this tea seller from gossip.
