Sixty-seven

67 Before noon, the families were basically still cooking or eating, Yu Qingtian came out after a few bites at home, and today his eyelids were beating and he had something in his heart, so he hurried to the surplus grain.

On weekdays, he had eaten and had to drink tea for a while, so he didn't rush to the store. The shop is also close, just a few steps, walk through the street in front of the house, and you will arrive at a corner. Today, he is walking fast, and he has to arrange for people to go to Xu Shiyi and Chengnan Wharf to keep an eye on it, and see if there is any movement or news, so as to report to him immediately. Today is very critical, although Xu Shiyi patted his chest with him, he also gave Xu Shiyi three hundred guan first, and promised to give three hundred guan after the matter is completed, it is really black on dog days. But he can't take care of these anymore, money, things outside his body, give it up and come back, let it go, and spend a lot of money! I feel both expectant and nervous and unsure. "Your mother, this is all caused by the surname Zhou." He let out a foul breath and gritted his teeth as he went.

Then he felt a cart of firewood, straw and mules beside him, and instead of taking the straight road, it kept pushing him down to the wall by the side of the road, and the road in front of him was also blocked. "Well, you fucking can't walk? Where is this crowding? Yu Qingtian stopped and questioned the coachman who was leading the mule in front of him. The coachman turned around when he heard the sound, held on to the brim of his straw hat and nodded, "I'm sorry, this master." "It's a foreigner, a face. The coachman did not lead the cattle away, but asked with a smile, "I want to ask you about something, why are Hu Xiaosi and their family leaving?" "Hu Xiaosi? I haven't heard of it, get out of the way, get out of the way. Yu Qingtian was a little impatient, and used his hands to tear this person away. Who knew that this person not only didn't let him, but grabbed his hands, and asked with a smile, "Hu Xiaosi, it's the one who beats straw shoes, hit..." "What the hell are you doing? Huh...? Yu Qingtian was furious, the vulgar coachman in front of him not only didn't give way, but he actually dared to grab his hands and say some inexplicable nonsense, this dog! Yu Qingtian suddenly had a strange feeling, the person in front of him was talking to him with a smile, but his eyes didn't look like he was looking at him, but staring behind him... The smile in front of him became distorted and slow. Yu Qingtian turned his head suddenly, "Someone..." There are bad! It was a thought that flashed through him.

There was indeed someone behind him, and it was a dark shadow that immediately enlarged in his pupils, "Poof! Burst! Burst! Burst! Poof! He didn't stop, five times in a row, Yu Qingtian didn't snort, and fell to the ground like a pocket filled with rice. Wu Disaster blushed and panted, and threw the iron hammer in his hand into the carriage, "Quick!" Huo Zuiliu was responsible for guarding the back of the carriage, the coachman Zhu Shun and Wu Disaster raised their heads and grabbed their feet, and threw Xu Qingtian into the carriage with great effort, Huo Zuiliu jumped in after him, and was busy in the carriage for a while, Zhu Shun took the mule and turned around and went to the south gate.

At this time, the sun was getting bigger, and someone was slowly walking towards this side at the corner of the street. Wu saw a few messy clusters of blood on the ground, so he hurriedly scraped soil from under the wall with his feet and covered it, and wiped it a few more times with his feet, leaving some stained red mud marks. He stood still and covered up some dirt, until the visitor came near, and then he picked up a basket beside him, which contained half a basket of eggs, and hurried in the direction of the mule cart.

Not far from the South Gate City Gate Cave, there is a chicken feather shop for eating on the side of the road, and the table is placed outside the store, and a bamboo shed is set up to shade it. Pan Ye is eating here, to be exact, drinking, there are a few small dishes on the table, he has been drinking this meal for a long time, more than an hour. This is already the third dish of peanuts mixed with oil, and he chews silently, as if he is thinking about something.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to disturb him, and Pan Ye didn't ask if he didn't say anything. A character with a head and face like Pan Ye can deign to come to his fly restaurant to eat and drink, and it is also a matter of face to say it, so I wish Pan Ye would sit for a while, and it would be best to sit outside when the door is open.

Then a mule cart drove across the street, driven by a fresh face, and he glanced here, and then walked slowly towards the city gate. Pan Ye squinted at the convertible car full of firewood and grass, pinched a peanut and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"What are you pulling here?" The soldiers guarding the city gate asked knowingly, looking at Zhu Shun who was leading the mule. "Uncle, I pulled some firewood and grass to sell." Zhu Shun laughed with him, but his breathing was a little short, as if he was tired. "Selling firewood and grass? Everyone else is pulled into the city to sell, but you come the other way around? Fresh. The soldier glanced at Zhu Shun and smiled a little playfully. Oh, I was collecting firewood in the mountains, and I came in from the north gate, and I wanted to pull it to the south gate wharf to sell it, and the price was still higher there, hehe. "Is the dock price high? How much do you sell for a bundle? Why haven't I seen you? The soldier continued to ask. It turned out that my brother was selling, and he said that it was easy to sell here, hehe. Zhu Shun picked his head and laughed dryly. "I asked you how much a bundle would cost me. "Hmm" "What's the matter, reluctantly..." "Well, yes. Zhu Shun climbed into the car and threw down two bundles of branches. "You're fooling me, you have to be thick, there is obviously a big firewood underneath. Liu Er's face turned cold, "I'll come." "

Seeing that the soldier was not happy, a few idlers who entered and left the city also came to watch. "Alas, alas! Look, look! Alas! "There was a bang, the basket was knocked over, and the eggs rolled to the ground, and a lot of them were broken." Mother! My baby eggs! The voice was loud and crying, and Wu Disaster grabbed the soldier, as if he was about to cry. Alas, what are you pulling me for? It's not like I knocked over your eggs, so why don't you pick them up. The soldier struggled to shake him off. Yes, pick it up, pick it up, get out of the way, get out of the way. Alas, that car, go ahead, don't get in the way! Wu Disaster came to his senses and shouted, but one hand was still pulling Liu Er.

"Well, what are you pulling me for? Are you trying to trick me? Alas...? Don't leave the car, I haven't finished talking yet, Xiao Si'er looked at him. The soldier pointed to the mule cart waiting to leave with his hand. Well. Another young soldier answered with a spear and stopped in front of the car. Liu Er, Liu Er! The soldier turned his head to look, and saw that not far from a few shops, Pan Ye was sitting behind the dinner table, waving at him.

"Oh, Pan Ye! Are you looking for me? "Well, come here." Pan Ye nodded. Liu Er actually saw Pan Ye eating there alone early in the morning, but Pan Hu ignored him, and he pretended not to see it and didn't come forward. "Ugh." Liu Er agreed, shook off Wu Disaster and went forward. "Call Xiao Si'er too, I have something to ask him." "Master Pan, Xiao Si'er is still guarding the door, why don't you call him for a while?" "Call him over, you both come over, there's something." "What about them?" Liu Er pointed to the mule cart and the others who were blocked in the hole in the city gate. "Alas!" Pan Ye looked impatient and shook his wrist, meaning to hurry up.

"Don't go, the firewood seller, wait a while, leave me a bundle, it will be big." "Alas, alas. Zhu complied. Liu Er and Xiao Si'er came to the dining table, but the mule cart behind them slowly moved out of the city gate, and Wu Disaster was still crying and picking up the unbroken eggs on the ground. Someone found a porcelain bowl and put the broken one into the bowl, Wu Disaster discussed with others, the broken one is still his, but you can sell it cheaply for some money, and it is more or less interesting. The rest of the idlers are still sitting there, and you are talking about the price of the broken eggs.

"Huh? Where did the firewood seller go? Damn! Liu Er saw that the firewood cart was walking out, and said that he was about to pass by with a knife. "Sit down!" Pan Ye grabbed him, "Damn, I'll talk to you about business." What's wrong with you? Sit! Looking at Pan Ye's posture, Liu Er sat down again, inexplicably. Pan Ye glared at him but was not in a hurry, asked Xiao Er to take two bowls, and then poured the wine in an orderly manner, and asked, "Liu Er, do you have a brother?" "Huh? This Pan Ye also knows. There are three of us brothers, and I can do two. "Hmm," Pan Ye nodded knowingly. Liu was in his twenties and thirties, and he joined the army very early, and as for whether he had brothers or anything, he really didn't know. "Where's Xiao Si'er? Xiao Si'er also has a brother, right? "I don't, I have a sister. Xiao Si'er replied, "There is also a sister who is married." "Oh! Sister, good! How old is it? Xiao Si'er looked at Liu Er and then at Pan Ye, and said suspiciously, "Nine years old." "Oh, it's a little smaller." Pan Ye sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, "Come, let's do this bowl first." With that, he picked up the bowl and drank it all. Liu Er and Xiao Si'er glanced at each other, and didn't know what to do, "!" As soon as he raised his head, he followed suit.

"yes, okay." Pan Ye said approvingly, and poured wine for the two of them. "That's what happened, huh. Pan Ye tapped his fingers on the dining table, frowned and thought, "The world is not peaceful now, and there is still a war in the south, well, all places must strengthen their garrisons." I heard that the county government is planning to recruit another catcher, I still value Liu Er, if you are interested, you have to move around at this time. Pan Ye said, and there was a rare smile on his face.

"Oh! Is there such a thing? Liu Er's eyes lit up a little, although they were not under the control of the Criminal Department, but the soldiers who watched the gate in the county town should be township soldiers, and they could not be compared with the forbidden army. In fact, there is also oil and water to guard the city gate, but this has to be guarded by several groups of people in turn, and there is a general manager on the top, and he is basically not able to do good errands, and he has to be used as coolies by officials from time to time.

"Pan Ye, do you think I will succeed?" Liu Er smirked, a little twisted. "You? Hmm, are you stupid? That's what I'm asking! The key is that Lieutenant Fang still has to exert his strength. "Huh? Alas! I thought you were talking about my brother, and you would have said it. Come on, come on, I salute Pan Ye for a bowl, do it first for respect! Liu Er stood up, holding the wine bowl in both hands, and tilted his neck dry. He put down the bowl and poured the wine again, and when he saw that Pan Ye had done it, Xiao Si'er's wine was still full, and he snapped the back of Xiao Si'er's head, "Are you a splash or a fool?" Pan Ye is all dry, you still have the wine, play big in front of Pan Ye? Punish yourself with three bowls! "No, I thought you were going to toast Pan Ye alone, and besides, I still have to watch the door." "Look at your head! Pan Ye is sitting here, and I am also here, it is your turn to fill the garlic? Drink! Xiao Si'er pursed his lips, looked at the wine in front of him aggrievedly, and glanced sideways at the city gate. From this angle, you can see that at the end of the road leading to the outside of the city, there is a small black dot that is becoming more and more blurred, it is a mule cart loaded with firewood and grass that is fading away.
