Chapter 56: The Comer Is Not Good
As night fell, Fang Yi and Wang Peng and their party came to the door of an inn on a hill.
All the way over, Fang Yi sat in the carriage gracefully.
Wang Peng did not deceive Fang Yi, Wang Peng and his party were indeed the dart masters who escorted the darts to Ezhou.
Fang Yi glanced up at the signboard of the inn, well, it was still a few words that he didn't know very well.
"Brother Wang, where have we been?"
"Brother Fang Yi, we arrived at a place called Niutou Mountain, this inn is called Niutou Mountain Inn, and it is a place where we often stay!"
Wang Peng jumped off the horse with a smile and shouted loudly towards the inn: "Little Er, prepare a little food, ask for three more ordinary guest rooms, and feed our horses a little grass!" ”
"Okay!"
Inside the inn, a shopkeeper ran out quickly.
The shopkeeper and Wang Peng were obviously old acquaintances, and they took the reins from Wang Peng's hand very tacitly, and led the group of horses to the backyard of the inn.
"Let's go in, Brother Fang Yi, we agreed before, you can eat and live at your own expense, please go to bed!"
……
After eating a little casually, Fang Yi sat alone on a large rock outside the inn.
Maybe the food in the Tang Dynasty didn't quite match Fang Yi's appetite, or maybe the current Fang Yi was full of confusion.
For dinner, Fang Yi just ate a little casually and couldn't eat, and at the moment he was looking up at the stars with a sad face.
The ancient sky seems to be much lower than the modern sky, and the stars and moon can be seen more clearly.
"Brother Fang Yi, do you have something on your mind?"
Wang Peng didn't know when he walked next to the big rock.
Wang Peng is a dart master, and his natural skills are at least at a passable level, Wang Peng jumped on the big stone with a slight jump, and then sat on the stone next to Fang Yi and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
"Brother Wang, how long will it take for us to go to Ezhou?"
Wang Peng thought about it carefully: "At our rate, it will take a month!" After all, we are darts, it is impossible to rush forward, after arriving in Ezhou, I will help you find a boatman, you spend a few taels of silver, and the boatman will take you to Tanzhou! ”
"Thank you, Brother Wang!"
Fang Yi frowned slightly, it would take almost a month to get from here to Ezhou! It's been too long!
In modern times, not to mention taking a plane, even if it is a high-speed train, it will be there in just a few hours!
Ancient...... After all, there is still no modern convenience!
Wang Peng felt the boredom in Fang Yi's heart, and couldn't help but look at Fang Yi curiously: "Brother Fang Yi, do you miss your hometown?" ”
"Yes......" Fang Yi sighed softly, "Brother Wang, have you ever had that kind of experience, you know where your home is, you know where you are, but you don't know how to go back......"
Wang Peng was slightly stunned, to be honest, Wang Peng was a rough person in the strict sense, so he naturally couldn't understand the meaning of Fang Yi's words.
"Brother Fang Yi, what you said is too profound, I don't understand it! If you know where your hometown is, how can you not go back? ”
"Huh...... That's the way it is, there's no going back! Fang Yi was even more sad.
"Hahaha!" Wang Peng smiled and patted Fang Yi's shoulder, "Look away, Brother Fang Yi, the entire land of China is your home, and all of us are your family!" You're not alone! ”
Fang Yi turned his head to look at Wang Peng in a daze.
Wang Peng's words really moved Fang Yi a little.
Sure enough, the ancients were simple and kind!
If modern people who have experienced economic and social baptism still regard a strange compatriot as family? If you don't go bankrupt, you should burn incense and worship the Buddha!
"Thank you, Brother Wang, I will remember your words, we are family, this is the first time I have heard someone say such things to me here, even if I become rich in the future, I will not forget your words!"
"Hahaha, Gou Fugui, don't forget!"
Fang Yi and Wang Peng looked at each other with affection, and this atmosphere of affection was quickly broken by a noise not far away.
"Hurry! In front is the Niutou Mountain Inn! ”
"Brothers, hurry up, kill it!"
Wang Peng looked at the place where the noise was coming from, and with the help of the torches in the hands of the group of people in the bright moonlight, Wang Peng saw the little fat man at a glance.
In an instant, Wang Peng's face changed: "Oops, it's this group of guys!" ”
"Brother Wang, do you know them?"
Fang Yi glanced at the menacing little fat man group suspiciously.
This group of people also has sixty or seventy people, everyone has weapons in their hands, as the so-called comers are not good, although Fang Yi doesn't know who the little fat man and his group are and what they want to do, but Fang Yi already faintly feels a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
Wang Peng's heart sank, his face was full of jealousy, and his tone of voice was very dull: "I don't know what the name of the little fat man at the head is, he is the big thief boss of a nearby mountain, the scarface next to him is the second master, and the mustache is the third master, this gang of thieves does a lot of murder and stealing goods on weekdays, I don't know why he is here at this moment......"
"Do you want to rob the darts?"
"Impossible!" Wang Peng shook his head without thinking about it, "Our dart bureau and them have always had a tacit understanding that well water does not interfere with river water, we don't dare to hit them, and they don't dare to rob our darts!" I guess it's for someone else......"
Since he didn't come to Wang Peng, Fang Yi was a little relieved.
But Fang Yi quickly thought of other bad aspects, this group of bandits came at others?
I'm not a member of the Pengzhan Dart Bureau, what if this gang of bandits looted the other people in the inn, and by the way, they will loot themselves again?
Fang Yi pulled the corner of Wang Peng's clothes with a nervous face: "Brother Wang...... You just said that you are my family, if this gang of bandits wants to rob your family...... You're not going to sit idly by, are you? ”
"Hahahaha! : Wang Peng stood up proudly, and clenched the knife at his waist with his right hand, "Don't worry, Brother Fang Yi, this bull-headed inn is not an ordinary inn, the wall door is thick, relying on this gang of bandits alone, it is not easy to break through the inn with manpower, the owner of the inn and I have been friends for many years, I am not in the inn now, they will not close, they will wait for me to return to the inn before closing, let's go back now!" “
"Bang"
As soon as Wang Peng's words were finished, the slap in the face happened, and the Niutou Inn didn't care whether Wang Peng was in the inn or not, and ruthlessly closed the thick iron door of the inn after discovering this group of bandits.
"Huh?" Fang Yi hurriedly turned his head to look at Wang Peng in a daze.
"Uh...... Unexpected accidents! Wang Peng laughed awkwardly, "It's not a big problem!" You may not believe it, but it's all in my expectation and calculation! They may not have noticed that I wasn't in the inn, Brother Fang Yi, don't worry, this gang of thieves knows that I am from the Pengzhan Dart Bureau, even if we don't enter the inn, they won't embarrass us! ”
