Chapter 140: Flying Fox Town

Flying Fox Town, located at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, is named after the Flying Fox Mountain one mile east of the town. This Flying Fox Mountain, very dangerous, guarding the high-altitude passage of Hunan and Jiangxi, has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

Flying Fox Town is very famous, but in fact it is an extremely remote mountain town, with only a few dozen or so shops.

In a month, there are only nine poldering days, and when it is polder, it looks like a bazaar, but in the spare time, there are few pedestrians and sparse vehicles, and most of the small owners who run the shops are from the nearby mountains, and they often go home to tend to the crops in their spare days.

Today is a free day, and the morning sun has painted the top of Flying Fox Mountain in the east of the town, but most of the shops in the town are still closed. At a glance, the whole group is a cold, desolate, and lonely scene.

The horse's hooves were trampling, Luo Shaojin was walking slowly on the street, and on the long street paved with bluestone slabs, only a yellow dog and two flower dogs were fighting, and a few chickens were watching from afar.

The yellow dog was obviously invincible, and screamed under the bite of the enemy, and was about to die when he saw it.

At this time, a woman with a flat pole rushed out of a steaming porridge shop, and with three blows and two blows, she beat the two flower dogs and screamed and fled.

A flower dog was angry, and when he ran away, he whined and barked his teeth at the chickens, and the chickens were so frightened that they clucked and scattered.

The porridge was spread under a huge stone rock, and a few pieces of wood were built according to local conditions, covered with cedar bark, and surrounded on three sides, and it became a shop.

At this time, the hot air in the shop is steaming, and the stone and rock mist on the shop are swirling, the vapor is like fog, and the fog is like moisture, and the two phases are entangled, and I don't know who can't let go of whom.

Luo Shaojin got off the horse in front of the porridge shop, tied the horse under the citrus tree in front of the store, hugged the girl, and walked into the porridge shop hand in hand.

The shop is extremely simple, with only three tables, and a large striking wine urn stands next to the curved ruler-shaped counter. It seems that it is also a place to drink.

It's just that there is no one in the store now, and even the woman who came out to beat the dog just now has gone to the back hall.

"Boss, boss?" Luo Shaojin was really tired and tired, and he didn't care about it, so he went straight to the table by the back door, sat down facing the outside of the store, and turned his head and shouted to the back hall.

"Hey, come on," came a man in his fifties running out of the back hall, with a wrinkled face, a dark face, and a white beard under his chin. When the shopkeeper saw Luo Shaojin, he was also stunned, his eyes swept outside the store, and he was even more surprised, but he immediately smiled and nodded: "Girl, what do you want?" We have white porridge, rice cakes, and ...... of Amy Fruit."

The shopkeeper was about to count the treasures, Luo Shaojin was anxious about the safety of his family, where was he impatient to listen to his ramblings, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, the rice cake is available, then two pieces." I brought another jar of cold white porridge and made two bowls for the two of us, and the rest helped me feed the horses. ”

"Eh, okay, you wait." The shopkeeper agreed, nodded and went back to the back hall. After a long time, a healthy woman with a tray came out of the back hall, who was the "dog fighting hero" just now.

"Come on." The woman came to the table, glanced at Luo Shaojian, took out two bowls of white porridge, two pairs of chopsticks, and a plate of rice cakes and a plate of dried salted fish from the plate, put them on the table one by one, and said respectfully, "Girl, please use it slowly!" ”

Luo Shaojin had no intention of coping, seeing that the porridge in the bowl was steaming, and knew that it was very hot, so he touched his chopsticks, pinched a few salted fish, and put them in the bowl: "The porridge is very hot, eat it slowly." Babble. As he spoke, he picked out a little porridge and tasted it, almost blistering his tongue, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Wait a while and then eat, Nannan." ”

Hearing this, Nan Nan obediently put down her chopsticks, but her eyes were aimed at the small salted fish, and she secretly glanced at Luo Shaojian, and saw that she was looking back at the horses outside the store, so she quickly stretched out her hand, took two salted fish, put them in her mouth, and chewed them carefully.

"Why is it so hot, huh?" Luo Shaojin saw that the horses outside the store had stretched their necks vigorously to gnaw on the bark of the cedar trees on the eaves.

"Hey, girl, it's freshly cooked, it's fresh."

"Okay, you go. Asked the owner to feed the horses for me."

The woman went by herself, and after a while, the aunt and nephew waited for a while before the temperature of the white porridge in the bowl dropped.

Luo Shaojin drank quickly, and urged Nan Nan to drink quickly,

Suddenly, Luo Shaojin remembered that the owner of this shop promised to feed himself the horses, why has he not moved so much now.

Luo Shaojinhuo got up and went to the back hall, but the back hall kitchen was empty.

I saw a small charcoal fire simmering in a clay pot, and the boss and the proprietress both seemed to have disappeared from the sky, and there was no trace.

Luo Shaojin's heart was beating, he hurriedly picked off the flower mechanism, hung it on his chest, and quickly returned to the store, seeing that Nan Nan was still chewing a salted fish, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't eat it yet." Let's go, let's go. ”

On the calm street, there are few pedestrians and horses, and in front of the porridge shop, the shopkeeper is holding a pottery jar and carefully feeding the horses.

The horse did not feed it, and the shopkeeper coaxed it for a long time, but without success. He began to lose patience, and dragged the horse's bridle to the mouth of the altar, forcing the horse to eat the white porridge.

The horse's strength is not small, the shopkeeper did not succeed for a while, looked left and right, picked up the jar, and was about to pour the steaming rice porridge on the horse.

Suddenly, his head was cold, and an iron barrel was pressed against him: "Get up." Wow, you're trying to burn my horse. Get up. ”

Looking at Luo Shaojian, who had willow eyebrows and round apricot eyes, the shopkeeper was stunned and his legs trembled.

"Hey, pretty heroes, there's something to say, there's something to say."

"Get up, where is the proprietress going? Say it. ”

The shopkeeper suddenly weakened his legs, made a grunt, and knelt on the ground: spare your life, pretty hero.

Luo Shaojin suddenly caught a glimpse of a small basket in the corner, and said to the guy in front of him: "Spare your life, you drink two mouthfuls of porridge, I'll see if it's poisonous." ”

"It's not poisonous, heroine." The shopkeeper looked left and right with a sad face, got up with his hands and feet, took a ceramic spoon from a table in the store, scooped two spoonfuls, and drank it without caring whether it was hot or not.

Seeing that he was grinning with hot teeth, Luo Shaojin sneered and said, "Cover the porridge jar and put it in that willow basket or willow basket." Fast. I'm going to take it away. ”

After the shopkeeper complied one by one, Luo Shaojin asked him to hang the porridge jar on the horse's shoulder.

Then he ordered the shopkeeper to go back to the shop, enter the room, and close the door for him himself, and fasten it from the outside.

I went to the kitchen in the back hall, took a few rice cakes, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and put them in the pocket of the Zhongshan suit.

The aunt and nephew hurriedly got on their horses and rode away, and after a few steps, they heard a large group of people coming from behind: "Where is the female thief?" ”

At this time, the sun had already come out, and the faint sunlight painted the bluestone streets with a layer of turquoise light.

Luo Shaojin knocked the horse's belly, got off the horse, ran out, went out of the town in a blink of an eye, came to a stone bridge, remembered the reminder of the elder sister, waved the reins, and walked south.
