Chapter 6: The Black Shop

About half a month later, Lin Chenyu and Lin Xingyu, two siblings, finally walked to the border of Nanling Town, except for the official road for only one carriage and the green mountains and green waters on both sides, there has been no one for five days. The farther away from the sea, the fewer raiders there are, and the safer it is for the siblings.

Every day, Lin Chenyu had to practice Xingyi Quan with his sister for two hours, which also caused the brother and sister's itinerary to be unable to speed up.

"Brother, how long will it take for us to go to the imperial city like this? Lin Xingyu, who was sitting on the horse, asked aggrievedly.

"If your butt hurts while riding a horse, then let's take a two-hour stride, let your butt hang in the air, and get a good rest. Lin Chenyu led the horse on foot, turned back to his sister and said: "Tianlei Island is big, let's first arrive at Yanguo County, follow the caravan to Linzhou to reach Linzhou, then follow to Yangzhou City in the middle of the island, and then follow the caravan to the Imperial City." At the current rate, it is estimated that it will be about half a year!"

Lin Xingyu opened his mouth wide and sighed: "Ahh I don't want to get off the horse, I'm worried that it's so far away, and there won't be enough dry food!"

"What are we afraid of, we are so lucky, God will not let us starve to death. There should be a farm in front of me, I can sneak a little bit of food, haha!" Lin Chenyu still maintained an optimistic attitude, believing that the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge.

After another two days, I finally saw a house on the side of the road, like an inn for merchants to rest. There was a large wooden board hanging from the door, which read: Tea is free. It just so happened that Lin Chenyu's brother and sister decided to ask for a bowl of herbal tea to drink. I saw two square tables in the courtyard, and eight stools were placed crookedly.

"Yo, this little sister is so handsome, what are you two eating?" asked a shopkeeper with a thief's eyebrows, pulling a dirty rag.

Lin Chenyu politely replied: "Our brother and sister passed by, and when they saw that the tea was free, they came to ask for a bowl to quench their thirst." ”

Seeing that the guests didn't order food, the shopkeeper didn't ask any more, and said, "Wait a minute, sit down first, and the tea will come soon." With that, he turned and went into the back hall.

The two siblings sat down casually and looked at the furnishings in the store. There were several large jars of wine, and there were bunches of corn hanging on the beams of the house.

Saying that, when the shopkeeper returned to the back hall, he hurriedly ran to the wing room on the left, and whispered: "Big brother, there are two called Hanako, you get up quickly!"

The shirtless bearded man lying on the bed said impatiently: "Just tell Hanako to send you away, don't disturb me to sleep!"

"Big brother, there's a guy named Hanako who looks very handsome, wash it, it's absolutely smart!"

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"Sure enough?"

"Sure enough, big brother, don't read the lyrics, go and take a look, I'll prepare sweat medicine." With that, he turned and left.

The bearded man suddenly fell asleep, turned over and got out of bed, didn't care about getting dressed, and tiptoed to the back door to peep. I saw two shabby clothes named Hanako, sitting at the table chatting, just saw that the man facing him was really handsome, whether it was a man or a woman, he could sell it for a good price, and there was a horse, they all caught up with the military horse, and met the fat sheep, haha!

Just right, the sweat medicine herbal tea prepared by the shopkeeper was brought to the table and said, "Use it slowly!"

Lin Chenyu didn't doubt him, so he took a big sip of it, feeling that the taste was weird, and it was a little numb in the bitterness. Seeing that her sister was also drinking a little frowned, she comforted: "Herbal tea is bitter, clear the fire and remove the poison, drink it!"

"Okay, brother. Lin Xingyu listened to his brother's words the most, lowered his head and continued to drink. In Lin Chenyu's words, if she is not obedient, she will have to spend more time practicing boxing.

"Brother, you're tired of walking, let's rest for a while before we set off!" Most of the time along the way, Xingyu rode a horse, and Lin Chenyu led the horse on foot, which made Xingyu feel distressed, so he planned to let his brother rest more and then hurry.

Lin Chenyu reached out and stroked the back of his sister's head, and said, "Okay, sit down for a while before leaving!"

The shopkeeper and the bearded man kept staring at the door of the back hall, just waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect, and immediately went to tie them up. But waiting left and right, but not seeing these two made Hanako fall asleep. "Xiao Er, you won't put the wrong medicine, right?" Dahan wondered.

"How is it possible, there are only sweat medicine and rat poison at home, if it was rat poison, these two people would have been poisoned. The shopkeeper stared at Lin Chenyu's brother and sister intently and replied.

But they didn't know that these two people named Hanako had a lot of backgrounds, so they said that the green robe who had been hidden behind them could basically walk sideways across the island. When Lin Chenyu's brother and sister entered the store, the green robe had already sneaked into the store and replaced the sweat medicine with peppercorn powder in the cupboard.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the bearded man said impatiently: "His uncle, don't wait, go up and tie it up! No one will see it anyway!" After saying that, he took the rope in the shopkeeper's second-hand and walked into the store hall one by one.

"Hey, the two of them are called Hanako, how about the tea?" asked the bearded man with a weird smile.

"Well, it's okay, it's not bad, do you want to drink some?" Lin Chenyu felt that something was wrong.

"No nonsense! Tea is free, but there are conditions. Are you going to give money or sell yourself?" the big man immediately changed his face.

I only heard that Mr. Storyteller told the story of the black shop in the rivers and lakes, but I never thought that I would encounter it so soon. Lin Chenyu replied: "We will give money." ”

"Haha, just the two of you who want to eat, can you be rich? This is the best herbal tea within a hundred miles, a bowl requires a low-grade spirit stone, can you give it?" The bearded man didn't expect this to make Hanako so unfazed.

Thinking that he had worked hard to move a rice bag for four years in exchange for a low-grade spirit stone, and also bought a horse, now this situation is not good, "In this case, our horse is also the best horse in a radius of thousands of miles, why don't you stay to pay off the debt!" Considering the safety of his sister, Lin Chenyu could only admit it. After speaking, he turned around and whispered to Xingyu: "Wait a minute, as soon as I drop the tea bowl, you will go and run on horseback, hide on the side of the road in front, and come out when I come." ”

Xingyu looked at his brother and nodded obediently, because Xingyu believed that their brother and sister would not be unlucky, and they would definitely be able to run away today.

"Just your broken horse, at most a bowl of tea, and a bowl of tea, just leave this little child to do chores! After speaking, the bearded man looked at Xingyu, and his eyes seemed to see a large number of spirit stones in his pocket.

"Smack!" Before the bearded man could return to reality from his fantasy, he was slapped with a tea bowl.

"Xingyu, run!" Lin Chenyu didn't care about looking at his sister, picked up another bowl and threw it at the bearded man.
