Volume 2 Xin Guo Chapter 128 Mysterious Boss
Fu Xun came all the way to the bottom of the mountain, which is located in a remote area, and the market is not thorough, it can be seen that when Gu Beiyu was still "Shen Ning", for the safety of Bai Yanxiao, he took great pains. I just never thought that they would end up in such a field now. Fu Xun sighed, walked to a stall selling vegetables, and asked, "Uncle, is there a horse market around here?" ”
The middle-aged man who was cleaning up the vegetables raised his head and looked at Fu Xun carefully: "Son, are you from the city?" You see, where do we buy horses in the poor countryside, and those who have a donkey are rich people! However, if you go east, the shopkeeper, his family is the richest, and he has two horses, but I don't know if he will lend you or not! ”
"Thank you, thank you!" Fu Xun bowed politely.
"Eh, Childe! Are you in such a hurry, is someone in the family injured? Your family is short of food, I'll deliver it! If you want it every day, I will send it to your house every day, will you think about it? The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and looked enthusiastic, "I can't sell it if I leave it for a day, so it's better to be a favor!" ”
Fu Xun turned around and looked at the middle-aged man's stall, but there were all kinds of green vegetables, and couldn't help laughing: "So, thank you uncle!" My house is on the mountain, and there is a separate courtyard five miles up from that crossing all the way to the west! Fu Xun took out a money bag and handed it to the middle-aged man, "Then I'll pay the deposit for today and tomorrow!" I'll take it today, and you'll give it tomorrow! ”
"Thank you, Childe!" The uncle looked happy.
What Fu Xun didn't see was that not far away, a little Hanako who was leaning against the wall was raising a pair of deep eyes from the hat, and heard the conversation between the two clearly, and after a while, he ran away. Fu Xun walked to the front of the shop on the east side, only to see that the shop was ajar, looking very shabby, to the point that a plaque of "Zhengyang Shop" was hung very upright.
Fu Xun was just about to raise his feet, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow, but suddenly turned around but was gone, and couldn't help frowning: "Isn't it that I'm dazzled?" ”
"What did Childe see?" A deep voice came, Fu Xun raised his eyes, but saw that at some point, a slightly swollen unkempt man in front of the shop was standing in front of him.
"It's nothing, I always feel that someone is following me, maybe I'm dazzled" Fu Xun chuckled lightly and looked at the man, "I don't know if Mr. is the owner of this shop?" ”
"It's under this, Childe please" The man turned sideways, gave Fu Xun a way, glanced at the road when Fu Xun came, turned around and followed Fu Xun, "Childe is dressed as either rich or expensive, when he arrives in our town, he is not targeted by thieves, it is better to be careful." ”
"Thanks for the reminder!" Fu Xun felt that although this boss looked a little weird, he had a good heart.
"Childe, please come with me!" The man took Fu Xun straight around the dilapidated front hall, Fu Xun followed suspiciously, but when he stepped into the room behind the front hall, he was shocked at the moment, this room was full of dazzling and everything, from exquisite and luxurious ornaments to jade jewelry.
"Old ...... Boss" Fu Xun felt like he was going to be slaughtered, "I'm not here to buy things......"
"Oh?" The boss turned his head and smiled incomprehensibly, "Childe really doesn't buy it?" ”
Fu Xun was a little weak-hearted, turned around and looked at the pearl and emerald jewelry, and swallowed his saliva: "Then I'll buy some......"
The boss smiled very satisfied, until Fu Xun took a fancy to a hairpin and paid for it, and then said, "Childe came today to borrow a horse, right?" ”
"You! You already knew! Fu Xun jumped to his feet.
"Hahahaha-" the man smiled freely and casually, "What's so difficult about this!" Childe came in a hurry but didn't come to buy anything, this is a radius of five miles, and naturally there is only a horse that I can borrow from you. Fang just tried the son, offended! ”
"What are you trying to do with me!" Fu Xun was confused.
"It's not too early, Childe should go back quickly!" The man interrupted Fu Xun's questioning, "But since I'm here to borrow a horse, the son still has to leave a note." The man took out the pen and paper he had prepared early in the morning and handed it to Fu Xun.
Fu Xun read out the IOU: "The contemptible person borrowed a horse from the Zhengyang shop, the deposit was twenty taels, and the borrowing was ten taels a day, and the money was paid in one hand and delivered in the other!" Fu Xun only felt that he had entered the thief's den, and looked at the man with black lines on his face: "Who are you?" ”
"Known as Boss Duan! I often come in the lower berth! The man smiled casually, looked at the sign on Fu Xun's waist, and signaled Fu Xun to pay.
"Count you ruthless!" Fu Xun gritted his teeth, took off the waist card, picked up the cap of the waist card, and the waist card revealed a seal of the word "pay", and pressed it hard, Fu Xun's seal fell on the IOU.
Duan Changlai picked up the note and smiled treacherously.
"Where's the horse?" Fu Xun asked.
"My horse is not feeling well today, so my son will come to pick it up tomorrow. I'll be ready for you when the time comes! Duan often said.
"Black shop! Black shop! Fu Xun brushed his sleeves and left.
It wasn't until dusk that Fu Xun led the horse back to the small courtyard.
Bai Yanxiao opened his mouth rarely: "Why did you go for so long?" ”
"Black shop! Black shop! Fu Xun still gritted his teeth and said, "I entered a black shop!" ”
Bai Yanxiao raised her eyelids and motioned for Fu Xun to continue.
Fu Xun sighed and said, "That's it, I'm finally back safely, that black-hearted boss just wants to empty my money bag!" I paid the deposit and let me lead the horse tomorrow! Oh, yes, Xiaobai! This one is up to you! Fu Xun took out a blue and white jasper hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Yanxiao.
Bai Yanxiao looked carefully, under the slanting sun, the white jade was glowing with a faint luster, the texture was simple and atmospheric, and the upper end of the hairpin was the outline of a crescent moon, and the texture alone knew that the price was expensive. Bai Yan smiled and lowered his eyes, only thinking that it must not be easy for such a place to have a boss with such a collection.
"Xiaobai! Don't lose this one again! Fu Xun pursed his lips.
Bai Yanxiao remembered that the simple hairpin he bought for Fu Xun in Zhou Halberd City last time was accidentally lost during his own battle, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, and couldn't help but nod.
Fu Xun frowned and looked at Bai Yan and smiled: "Xiaobai! Why are you out again! The injuries are not neat! How do you know so much about taking care of yourself! With that, Fu Xun put down the vegetable basket in his hand, hurriedly helped Bai Yanxiao into the house, and covered her legs with a cloak before saying, "I'll cook, don't run around anymore." ”
Bai Yanxiao looked at Fu Xun's back and his eyes darkened, maybe even Fu Xun himself didn't notice that he had already changed his awkwardness in front of her, but became a mother-in-law.
Half an hour later, Fu Xun put all kinds of dishes on the table, helped Bai Yanxiao to sit at the table, and took a small bench for her to support her under her injured feet. ”
It wasn't until Bai Yanxiao's bowl was about to pile up into a hill that Fu Xun stopped and added, "Eat more, it's good to be fast!" ”
"By the way, Xiaobai, from tomorrow, there will be a vegetable farmer who will deliver vegetables to his home every day, so we don't have to go down the mountain often to buy in the future. It's that if tomorrow is when I'm not there, you must be careful when you take the food, don't trip again......" Fu Xun began to get up again.
Bai Yan smiled and looked at the bowl full of vegetables, and his heart was mixed.
After dinner, Fu Xun thoughtfully helped Bai Yanxiao to bed: "Xiaobai, you wait for me." Fu Xun got up and went out.
After a while, Fu Xun put a basin of hot water on the ground, lifted his smiling trouser leg and said, "A hot compress can remove bruises." ”
"I'll just do it myself." Bai Yanxiao wanted to take his foot away.
But Fu Xun didn't follow, holding Bai Yanxiao's feet and carefully putting them into the water. The hot water spread over the ankles, and it was immediately soothed.
Until the water was cold, Fu Xun took the ointment and applied it to her feet.
Seeing this, Fu Xun put Bai Yanxiao's leg on his lap, held her ankle with one hand and leaned down and blew gently, until the ointment dried up a little and was about to settle.
Fu Xun carefully put down Bai Yanxiao's trouser legs, covered the quilt for her, and said softly: "Sleep, take care of your body, and take you down the mountain tomorrow to go shopping." ”
The beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed, and the affection and doting in the pupils were undoubtedly revealed.
Bai Yan smiled slightly.
"Sleep." Fu Xun tucked the corner of the quilt and turned off the light for Bai Yanxiao.
It wasn't until he walked away that Bai Yanxiao let go of the hands that had been clenched, and a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes. never thought that until now, it would be him who has been with her to the end.
