Chapter 128: Mountain and Wild City
After Cui Hu and Jiang Tao's chests were safe and sound, the four of them set out on their way again.
The villagers saw each other off, but they didn't see the village chief, Tianci and his uncle. Afraid of the extraneous branches again, the peach and the thunder, the thunder and the thunder are combined: open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and rest and play in the post station.
Over a mountain, it is a forest pit, and the right side leads to Guanzhong Avenue.
There is a grass hut on the left side of the boundary stone, under which is hung a large bucket of "tea" characters, and there are several tables and stools in the shed. For pedestrians to drink tea. Unexpectedly, there were two tall horses tied to the willow tree behind the tea shed, one white and one black.
Lei Jun exclaimed: "Isn't this the sweat and blood of Ah San and Ah Si?"
Cui Hu, Jiang Tao, and Lei Ting looked at each other, Ah San, Ah Si, and Xiao Wu rode to the Guanzhong Yamen, Ah San surrendered, Ah Si testified, and Xiao Wu asked the Yamen to be the master of dissolving her marriage with God. Why did Ah San and Ah Si leave their precious mounts here?
The sound of footsteps alarmed the two big men lying on the bench, and the two big men jumped up, seeing that it was Cui Hu and his party of four, and one big man was very happy. Said: "One woman, three men, good!" That's you. ”
Another big man was relieved: "The adults are finally here." "It's as if they've been waiting here.
Cui Hu was at a loss: "The two strong men know this official?"
"Don't dare!" The big man who spoke first said: "The little ones are entrusted by people, and they are loyal to people, and they are waiting for the adults here for many days." ”
Cui Hu was slightly stunned: "Who are you two entrusted with?" ”
Another big man said: "Two men and one woman, entrust the younger one to hand over the two horses to the adults." He pointed to the two tall horses behind the tea shed.
"Two men and one woman." Jiang Tao spoke, "Look at what you call them, don't you know it?"
"Yes! Be! The two of them spoke in unison.
Jiang Tao pondered: The two men and one woman must be Ah San, Ah Si, and Xiao Wu, how could they be willing to give away their mounts, didn't they go to Guanzhong Yamen at all? In this way, it is true that the couple co-starred in a "good show" of drunken ghosts and night violence. Its purpose is probably not as simple as saving Xiao Wu from the sea of suffering, but has another deep meaning.
Jiang Tao couldn't help but think of the faint fragrance of flowers she smelled a second time.
The first time she smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the wind, she followed Xiao Wu to the fake "Nanzhuang" outside the village, and experienced a mental torture. The second time she smelled the faint fragrance of flowers floating in the room, her heart beat faster and her blood accelerated, and her mind was full of the plot of Ah Sanye's violent Xiaowu, and she almost made a big mistake, but fortunately she finally reined in the cliff, otherwise she couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, maybe at this moment the gossip has flooded the entire Chang'an.
Nine times out of ten, Ah San's "rescue" of Xiao Wu was played for her, and it was clear whether she was a friend or an enemy. If Ah San, Ah Si, and Xiao Wu also came to Cui Hu, the village of Xiling would undoubtedly be the devil's cave that prevented Cui Hu from entering Guangdong.
Before coming out of the devil's cave, will there be a tiger's den ahead? Jiang Tao's heart has palpitations.
Cui Hu rewarded the two big men, and the two big men thanked him and refused to accept the reward, Cui Hu didn't know what he meant. A big man explained: "Actually, we don't wait in vain. The two men and one woman told us in this abandoned tea shed, and waited for the adults for three days, and after three days, before the adults arrived, the two good horses belonged to us. Today is the third day, and it seems that we have no chance with these two BMWs. However, it is easy to change two slow horses for adults, and it is easy to pick up a poop. ”
That's true.
"Wait, wait until I've passed the horse a priori." Jiang Tao broke off, she dismounted and went around to the back of the tea shed, only to see the two horses tied to the willow tree with their necks bent and high, full and graceful, and muscular. Jiang Tao secretly pondered in her heart: "The sweat and blood BMW travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred at night, which is not a lie." Whether these three or four are friends or enemies is really unpredictable. ”
BMW is not cheating, Cui Hu and Jiang Tao changed into Ah San and Ah Si mounts, and they are full of energy.
The big man said goodbye, Lei Jun looked at the backs of the two of them who were drifting apart, and said with emotion: "Ah San and Ah Si will always have a way if they are willing to send adults and BMWs." ”
While speaking, an extremely strange thing happened outside the tea shed.
An old man with gray sideburns came from the forest pit in the south, peach a load of greens, walked to the boundary stone, tired, rested, the old man put down his burden, and sat on the flat shoulder.
The old man's green vegetables are very green, and there are water droplets hanging on the leaves, which should not be picked from the vegetable garden for a long time, and you can still smell the fragrance of the earth. There is nothing strange about an old farmer carrying a load of fresh and tender vegetables, but it is strange that the flat shoulder under the old man's buttocks is actually made of fine iron.
The old man lit a bag of dry tobacco and took a deep puff, which was very pleasant. He looked at the load of greens, and his face showed a kind of harvest joy. Such fresh vegetables are sure to sell for a good price.
The old man here was overjoyed, and on the rugged fork in the road leading to Guanzhong, a middle-aged woman pushed a canoe and came one after another. The planks are stacked with colorful cloths, and a large pair of scissors are stuck in the body, which is particularly eye-catching.
The old man greeted the middle-aged woman from afar: "Sister-in-law, you also came to the market?"
Sister-in-law Qing responded: "Old grandson, it's such a coincidence, I met you again." ”
The old grandson and the young sister-in-law asked and answered, the green sister-in-law sold cloth to catch the market, the strange thing is that the body is inserted with scissors for cutting clothes, which is extremely big and a little afraid of people.
"Bang, Bang, Bang......" A merchant gentleman came from the north with a rattle and a basket on his back. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the staggered, crisp and pleasant drums, and the old grandson and the young sister-in-law knew the merchant and said in unison: "Mr. Ye." ”
Mr. Ye nodded, and Sister-in-law Qing asked, "Mr. Ye, what strange goods did you bring this time?"
Mr. Ye smiled: "The old rule, I am * rouge gouache..... However, my rouge this time is different from the past, and it is called wax rouge. Beeswax is used instead of beef pith and tallow mixed with spices and cinnabar, which is more exquisite. ”
It is not strange for a merchant to cross the mountains and mountains to do business in a mountain village, but it is strange that he does not sell the vinegar, oil, salt, needlework and thread that are in short supply in the mountains, but instead sells the rouge gouache that only the ladies in the city like.
Mr. Ye did not forget to say a few sour words in the end: "Sandalwood lips, a little mandarin duck yellow, leaning on the jade and being speechless, a hook of the crescent moon dusk." ”
The old grandson praised: "Mr. Ye said that rouge gouache is always a set, no wonder the women in the village are urging their husbands to buy it."
Mr. Yip's makeup box. The old grandson's words changed and he made a joke about Sister-in-law Qing, "I said, Sister-in-law Qing, you can also buy some Mr. Ye's makeup and wrap it back, put away your yellow face, and hook the men of other families." ”
Sister-in-law Qing "spitted" the old grandson's head: "The old is not serious, it's not too early, and it's not in a hurry." I can't afford to wait, I have to sell all the cloth in the car before sunset. ”
Without waiting for the old grandson to answer, the young sister-in-law put the car on the side of the road, took out two bundles of particularly brightly colored cloth and put them in a conspicuous place, and sold the cloth wholeheartedly.
Lao Sun patted his thigh and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes!" If I don't set up a stall, the leaves of my cabbage will be yellow. Lao Sun moved the vegetable frame as he spoke, close to the sister-in-law's wheelbarrow, and sold the vegetables wholeheartedly.
Mr. Ye smiled silently, walked to the opposite side of the old grandson and the young sister-in-law, untied the basket, and sold the rouge wholeheartedly.
Cui Hu, Jiang Tao, Lei Ting, and Lei Jun were dumbfounded: these people set up a city in the mountains, who came to buy their vegetables, cloth, and rouge?
