Chapter 114: Doing something and not doing something
It was a small courtyard, and there were more than a dozen people in the courtyard, some men and women were burying their heads in some green leaves, and they turned their heads to look at him almost at the same time when they heard the noise, and among them, a man and a woman dressed in black were particularly familiar.
Chen Xu stayed at the door for a while, and the man and woman also looked at him blankly.
"Eun Gong, you ...... What are you doing here? Yu Wuya excitedly opened his arms to greet him and wanted to give him a hug!
And Chen Xu also came to his senses, turned around and closed the wooden door and swept past Yu Wuya like the wind.
"Let me hide!"
Chen Xu rushed directly into a room in the courtyard and closed the door with a bang, leaving only Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou looking at each other.
"What is Eungong doing?" Yu Wuya was about to rush into the room to ask for an explanation, but was gently pulled by the water, shook his head and whispered, "Someone is here!" ”
"Bang dang~" The courtyard door that had just closed was kicked open again, and a fierce burly man rushed in with a horsewhip, and he was also slightly stunned and then shouted: "Have you ever seen a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy!" ”
"No!" Yu Wuya also came back to his senses at this time, and waved his hand to the people in the courtyard while answering: "Hurry up and work, otherwise there will be no dinner!" ”
So the men and women in the courtyard bowed their heads and worked.
"Just now, there was a young man in the mountains who collided with Ma Gongzi, the nephew of the county guard, if you dare to hide, be careful of the pain of flesh and skin!" Dahan's eyes roamed the courtyard again, and finally looked at the closed door and was about to go in to have a look, but was pulled by Yu Wuya, "My lord, we are here in the tea factory, and I didn't see anyone come in just now, but I also heard footsteps outside the courtyard going east just now, if you hurry up, maybe you can catch up!" ”
"Really?" Dahan stopped.
"Don't dare to deceive!"
"Hmph, if you dare to deceive, you know the consequences!" The big man snorted coldly and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
When he saw the big man turn over and chase down the alley, Yu Wuya wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and quickly bolted the courtyard door, and waited for a long time to hear the sound of the horse's hooves was gone, and then he ran to the front of the door and knocked a few times and said, "Engong, come out, the person chasing you has left!" ”
"Really?" Chen Xu asked in a low voice.
"Seriously, I've been deceived!" Yu Wuya hurriedly said.
"Whew~, that's good!" Chen Xu let out a long breath, slowly opened the door a crack, and saw Yu Wuya, whose face was about to laugh, and behind, there was a slim and delicate and boundless water soft, who was looking at him with a pair of big watery eyes, a delicate little hand was still covering his mouth, and he couldn't suppress his laughter.
"Really gone?" Chen Xu poked his head out and looked around.
"Don't worry, I'm really gone, I can't imagine that I can see Engong in Wancheng, I'm really overjoyed!" Yu Wuya hugged Chen Xu excitedly and shook vigorously.
"I've seen Chen Langjun gently!" Shui Qingrou was very shy when she met this time, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Chen Xu didn't take it to heart, and hurriedly bowed: "Hello water girl!" ”
"Engong doesn't need to be polite, hurry up and tell me how you just collided with the nephew of the county guard!" Yu Wuya was very gossipy and pulled Chen Xu to a wooden bench to sit down, and when he ordered someone to serve tea, he was so excited that he was almost dying.
"You're excited?" Chen Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes, took a big sip of the tea handed over by a girl, looked at the bamboo cup in his hand a little sluggishly and asked suspiciously, "This is the new tea you stir-fried?" ”
"Exactly, does Eungong think that the taste is not right?" Yu Wuya nodded hurriedly.
"How can it be so bitter? It's not sweet at all! Chen Xu asked in surprise.
"This is also what I am preparing to tell you in the last few days, I don't know why, the tea leaves we pick and fry are very bitter, and the tea trees in many places are basically not much different in taste, but they still have a refreshing effect, but the taste is not as good as your frying!"
"Is it because of the tea plant?" Chen Xu took two more sips, it was indeed bitter tea, and the taste was still the taste of tea, but the taste was too far from the one fried in Xiaohe Village.
Yu Wuya nodded again and again and said: "Yes, yes, my master also said that it may be caused by the difference in regional climate or tree species, but there is no problem with drinking it for ordinary people, quenching thirst and refreshing the mind, we have sold some recently, and the response is okay!" ”
"That's good!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Engong, tell me how you ran into the nephew of the county government, Ma Gongzi?" Yu Wuya reminded again.
Chen Xu's cheeks twitched a few times, and he roughly talked about selling barbecue meat in the market.
"Wow, why don't you call me for Engong to have such a good taste of barbecue, otherwise I will definitely beat this horse boy out of!" Yu Wuya shouted with a few mouthfuls of water.
"Okay, you go and him out now!" Chen Xu said angrily.
"Hehe, isn't it in the past? Why bother making more trouble, Engong, I'm going to buy mutton and ingredients, and I'll eat it right away, so how about I try it with my junior sister? ”
"Don't be busy first, you accompany me to the foot shop to get my jade pendant back, and by the way, ask those soldiers if they have escaped back, otherwise I am afraid that they will be affected and even the county magistrate will be affected!" Chen Xu stood up and said.
"It's just the nephew of the county guard, I'm afraid, I'll accompany Engong on a trip, and the county guard won't dare to do anything to your county order, although the county order is under the jurisdiction of the county guard, but it is directly appointed and dismissed by Xianyang, at most it is not welcomed......"
"Senior brother, bring the money!" The water softly came out of the room carrying a money bag.
Yu Wuya took the money bag and led Chen Xu through a small house in the house, and then walked out of the gate, only then did Chen Xu find that there was a bustling street in front of him.
Chen Xu was speechless about Yu Wuya's words, in addition to being a rice bucket, this goods is also a mess of human feelings, and he doesn't understand the deception of officialdom at all, if this matter reaches the ears of the county guard, some changes will definitely happen, but the disaster has already fallen, and it is too late to regret it.
"Alas, if I had known that he was the nephew of the county guard just now, I would have roasted him in one breath!" Chen Xu sighed.
"What do you mean by this? At the beginning, you said that the eldest husband did something and did not do anything, that Ma Gongzi has no official and no position, just a white ding, why bother to whisper to him, burn well, it is better to burn the dough and never dare to show off his power again! Yu Wuya said righteously.
Your uncle! Chen Xu's face darkened.
This brain's idea is too strange, I don't know how to grow up but I haven't been beaten to death.
