Chapter 244: The Tea Shop
Yes," the fat woman also said angrily, "I'm tired of my wife on the way, so I have to find a place to rest." ”
The blind father and daughter ignored her and walked forward step by step.
"Daddy," the little girl's eyes lit up, "there's a teahouse in front, I'll help you go there to rest." ”
The blind man nodded, and the pained look on his tense face relaxed slightly.
......
"Several, please inside!" The old man in the tea shop invited them in with a smile. Picking up the rag on his shoulder, he wiped it on a table.
The tea shop was built from a pergola, and the tables and stools placed in it were also crude. The three of them traveled all the way, thirsty and tired, and they didn't pay much attention to this.
After they sat down, the husband brought a large pot of tea, and three large porcelain tea bowls were lined up, brewing tea one by one, and said with a smile: "Three, please use it slowly." Then he turned around and went down.
The little girl looked at the fat woman sitting opposite and frowned: "Can you go and sit at the table over there?" Why do you have to squeeze us together? ”
"Yo, girl," the fat woman was squeezed by her, and she was not annoyed, and said with a smile like a full moon: "Anyway, we have also suffered together, and I also helped you when I went out of the city, why, now I turn my face and don't recognize people?" ”
"Lin'er," the blind man coughed lightly, "I'm a little thirsty, bring me a cup of tea." ”
"Yes, Daddy." The little girl named Lin'er glared at the fat woman fiercely, as if she didn't like this person very much.
The fat woman smiled and didn't care, but said to the blind man, "Is the senior also invited by Master Saqaba?" ”
The blind man took a sip of tea, as if he hadn't heard, hadn't answered.
The fat woman still said to herself: "The father and daughter of the predecessors are a little early, if the four of us shoot at the same time, that person will not be able to please him, maybe the things have already arrived now......"
She talked endlessly, and the blind father and daughter turned a deaf ear.
"Dad," Lin'er asked softly, "Where are we going later?" ”
The blind man sighed, shook his head, and did not speak.
"Senior, although the thing was not done, it was left behind. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood...... "The fat woman was still chattering, Lin'er was angry, and was about to be scolded, but was dragged by the blind man. Lin'er saw that her father shook her head slightly at herself, and swallowed back the words that had just come to her mouth.
"Lin'er," said the blind man in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear him, "will you leave after drinking tea later?" I'd like to stay here for a while......"
Lin'er's face changed, "Dad, what do you mean by this?" ”
The blind man let out a long sigh, and said for a long time: "Dad is a person from Dongchang, and he is also a ghost of Dongchang when he dies, and this identity can't be washed away for a lifetime." This operation was unsuccessful, the above will not give up, you are not from Dongchang, it is better to leave quickly, so as not to be implicated in ......"
"Dad," Lin'er said abruptly: "I am your daughter, where is the reason to leave you without permission, I have to guard my father in life, and I have to ...... with my father in death."
"You ......" The blind man blushed, but he didn't know what to say, and he coughed incessantly.
"They turned out to be from Dongchang......" The fat woman was secretly surprised, but her face was silent.
Just when the father and daughter were arguing, they heard the old man's voice say outside: "Guest officer, where are you going?" ”
The eyes of the three of them looked out together, and they saw a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen standing outside the tea shop talking to his husband.
"Is that him?" The three of them said together in their hearts. Although the blind man cannot see, his ears are excellent, and once he hears a person's voice, he will never forget it. That young man was none other than Yang Muyun.
"Old man," Yang Muyun arched his hand, "May I ask how to get to Baitanshan Liuyun Village?" ”
"Baitanshan Liuyunzhuang?" The old man thought for a while and said, "Keep going due east, cross a river, and walk another twenty or thirty miles." ”
"Thank you, old man," Yang Muyun asked again, "Can the old man see a big and a small two people passing by here?" One is tall and big, the other is thin and small......"
The old man shook his head, "From early in the morning to now, there is only one."
The carriage passed by here, and there really wasn't such a person. ”
"Carriage?" Yang Muyun suddenly remembered that when he went out of the city, it seemed that a carriage had driven out of the city gate one step ahead of him, could it be that the two of them were in that carriage? As soon as his heart moved, he arched his hand to his husband, "Oh, thank you so much." "I was about to go on my way. But he was stopped by the other party, "Guest officer, from here to Baitanshan Liuyunzhuang, there are seventy or eighty miles to say!" Why don't you come to the shop for a cup of tea and then go on your way? ”
"Hmm......" Yang Muyun was about to refuse, and suddenly thought about it, he was not very familiar with the situation of Baitanshan Liuyun Village, maybe this old man knew something, he might as well inquire about him in detail, and immediately gave his hand, "It's so bothering." ”
When Yang Muyun walked into the tea shop, he saw the blind father and daughter and the fat woman at a glance, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are they here?" Could it be that they are also preparing to go to Baitan Mountain Liuyunzhuang? Seeing that the eyes of the little girl and the fat woman were also fixed on him, he hurriedly lowered his head and found a table to sit down.
The husband made a pot of tea and brought it to him, and then went down.
Yang Muyun poured a cup of tea in disbelief, and before he could taste it, he saw the fat woman twisting her palpitating waist and moving over, sitting on a wooden stool opposite him, only to hear a "crunch", the stool legs were about to break, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Little brother," the fat woman's big watery eyes were about to drip water, and her voice was sweet and greasy, "we meet again." ”
"Huh?" Yang Muyun didn't dare to look at her, and said calmly: "Have we met?" ”
"Little brother is so forgetful," the fat woman said coquettishly, "We just met last night at the Yuelong Inn in Huairou County, did we forget it so quickly?" His eyes rolled, "What about the little lady next to you?" Didn't I come with you? ”
Yang Muyun felt sick when she remembered the way she grabbed a big pig's trotter and chewed it, and when she saw her feasting without distractions, she thought that she would never pay attention to others except for the big hoof, but she didn't expect him to pay attention to himself so clearly.
Yang Muyun coughed lightly, "Is there something wrong with the eldest sister coming to me?" ”
The fat woman smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask my little brother, what happened in the inn after I left that night?" ”
Yang Muyunxin said in his heart that where are you going, it is clear that you are running away in the wilderness, and your companion Grand Lama is lonely because you quit halfway, and finally died with a whimper. Although he thought so in his heart, his face remained silent, "I drank a lot that night, and I don't remember what happened at the end." ”
"Really?" The fat woman's eyes bent into crescent moons, "That little brother, you woke up quite quickly, could it be that you couldn't drink alone, and pulled the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate over to drink together, so they let you out?" ”
Yang Muyun was slightly startled in his heart, but he smiled on his face, "The eldest sister is really good at joking." ”
"This joke eldest sister is not as big as you," the fat woman smiled undiminished, "I heard you say just now that you are going to Baitanshan Liuyun Villa, could it be that the main master in the inn went there?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the blind father and daughter sitting at the table next to them changed, and Lin'er looked at them with a pair of smart eyes.
"The more I listen to what the eldest sister said, the more confused I become." Yang Muyun lowered his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Confused, I think you're pretending to be confused, right?" The smile on the fat woman's face narrowed, and she sneered: "Last night, the battle in the inn was dark, and there were dead people, but you didn't hide or dodge, it seems that you came for that thing." ”
"I said I was drunk and didn't know what was going on in the inn." Yang Muyun said lightly.
"Okay," the fat woman stared at him and said, "Aren't you going to Baitan Mountain Liuyun Villa, I also want to go with you to see, what is strange there?" ”
Yang Muyun smiled and said nothing.
"What are you laughing at?" The fat woman said.
"It's nothing," Yang Muyun said in a flat tone: "The eldest sister can walk with me, it's too late for me to be happy, but it's ......" He glanced at the fat woman, who was wrapped in thick bandages around her neck and left shoulder, and continued: "The eldest sister has injuries on her body, and if she meets that person with a knife again, it may not be easy to retreat." ”
The fat woman couldn't help but tremble when she heard the fat on her face.
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the official road outside, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look out. I saw a few fast horses galloping from the west, and in the blink of an eye they arrived in front of the pantry and rode immediately
He was dressed in a purple-red suit, wearing a wide-brimmed hood, and a black coat in the first place, I saw that he was about forty years old, his face was white and beardless, and he was not very old, but the sideburns exposed under the brim of the hat were already silver-white.
He glanced at the pantry, and then stopped his horse, and when the others saw it, they also pulled the reins of their horses and stopped them.
The man jumped off his horse and walked briskly towards the pantry, and several riders also jumped off their horses and followed closely.
"Guest officer...... "My husband wanted to step forward to greet him, but was pushed by a man in a fuchsia suit, "Go away!" He stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but the old woman hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
The man walked up to the blind man, and without saying a word, sat down on the stool opposite him, and several men in purple suits who came in with him stood solemnly behind him.
"Yue Bin, you can make it easy for me to find!" The man whispered to the blind man.
The blind man stood up in fear, bowed down and saluted, "Subordinate Yue Bin, I've seen Lord Yin." ”
Lord Yin snorted, "This gift is waived, how are things going?" ”
The muscles on the blind man's face twitched, "Subordinate...... Subordinate......"
"It's a mess, isn't it?" Master Yin's eyes shot a ray of salient gaze.
The blind man did not answer, as if acquiescing.
"I didn't do it well last time, and I messed it up again this time," Lord Yin said coldly: "You know the rules of the factory, I can't defend you again and again, let's say, what kind of punishment do you want to receive?" ”
The blind man fell to his knees with a thud, "My Yue Bin failed to complete the errand of the factory bus, and he deserves death, I just ask Lord Yin to let the little girl ......"
"Dad" Lin'er stepped forward quickly, knelt down next to her father, tears welled up in her eyes: "Lord Yin, my father has done his best, he was stabbed in the chest, and almost died under the knife, Yue Lin, please see that he is dedicated to the factory office, please spare him, I am his daughter, and I will bear all the sins for him......" said and kowtowed.
"Lin'er, you ......"
Lord Yin smiled sadly, "It's really a touching scene, the father's sin, the daughter has to bear it, this is difficult." ”
"Lord Yin," Yue Bin was startled, moved a few steps forward on his knees, and begged bitterly: "The little girl is not from Dongchang, how can she bear the sin for me, and please let her go, whether to kill or kill the villain." ”
Master Yin took out a small porcelain vase and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said unhurriedly: "Where is Feng Wuji now?" ”
"This ......" Yue Bin was stunned for a moment, and was stunned for a while.
"This errand is very important to the factory father," Lord Yin said slowly: "He boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, saying that he must present this thing in front of the emperor, and now the thing has not arrived, and the people have lost it, so how can the factory face the saint?" ”
"Damn it!" Yue Bin lowered his head and said.
"All you have to tell me now is who was there last night besides your father and daughter?" Lord Yin said word for word.
Yue Bin didn't speak, Yue Lin raised his head to look at Yang Muyun.
Lord Yin followed her gaze, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, slowly stood up, and walked in front of Yang Muyun and the fat woman, a man in a purple and red suit hurriedly moved a stool for him to sit down. His gaze swept towards Yang Muyun and the fat woman......
The fat woman only felt a chill coming, and she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I left the inn with their father and daughter, and I don't know anything about what happened next...... Looking at Yang Muyun, "He has been staying in the inn, and he must know everything that happened later." Seeing that Lord Yin bowed slightly, his eyes swept to Yang Muyun, so he quietly got up and stepped aside.
"What's your last name?" Lord Yin looked at Yang Muyun for a moment, then asked with a leisurely smile.
"Don't have your surname Yang, and your cheap name is not enough to worry about." Yang Muyun knew that he was a eunuch when he heard that his voice was a little sharp, and he had no beard under his chin.
"Young Master Yang," Master Yin stared into his eyes and said slowly, "You stayed in that inn last night, didn't you?" ”
"Yes." Yang Muyun saw that his throat was a little dry, so he took a sip of tea.
