"Hoo ......"

In the afternoon, the sky began to fall with snowflakes, at first it was just a drizzle of light snow, but it didn't take long for it to turn into heavy snow, watching the goose-featherlike snow slowly fall from the sky, the pedestrians and vendors on the street began to go home, Ling Xia carried the shopkeeper into a medical hall, and the doctor sitting in the hall helped to sort out and bandage after examining the injury.

When the shopkeeper's injury was bandaged, and when it was time to pay the bill, when he asked the price, Ling Xia and the others were dumbfounded, it actually took seven gold coins to bandage the wound, and came to the hospital bed with the medicine list, Ling Xia handed the medicine list to the person in charge, and then stretched out his hand: "Don't be stunned, take the money, we have to find an inn to stay in when we go back."

When I came, I saw clearly, there is an inn called "Confidant Building" opposite, the scale is quite luxurious, these days patronizing the road, and there is no good rest, tonight I have to take a hot bath, and then get a few exquisite side dishes, and then a pot of old wine, sitting in a warm room and drinking a little wine, that feeling absolutely comfortable. ”

"Money, I don't have it, I was evacuated from Ontario Province before, I didn't have a chance to bring money, and all those military salaries were kept in the treasury." After the person in charge finished speaking, he pointed to his clothes that had been torn into strips of cloth, and said with a depressed face: "Besides, do you think I look like rich now?" ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Ling Xia suddenly had a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and after being stunned, he scolded angrily: "How did you become the logistics manager?" A general in charge of internal affairs and supplies, he doesn't know how to bring money, what do we eat if we don't have money? What do we drink if we don't have money? There is no food and drink, what do we spend? ”

"Who stipulated that the governor of the later period must have money on him, you are embarrassed to say that I, as a dignified horse master and the governor of Zi Yanjiang, why don't you bring money with you." After being reprimanded, the one in charge was a little wronged, and couldn't help muttering.

"What do you say? Kind of you repeat what you just said? Although the voice in charge was very small, it was still heard by Ling Xia, and when he saw Ling Xia talking, he picked up a wooden cane, and the shopkeeper chose to shut up.

"You really didn't have any money with you?" Ling Xia looked at the shopkeeper without giving up.

"I swear to the Queen Mother that I really don't have a penny on me." After making a poisonous oath, the shopkeeper looked at Ling Xia: "Didn't the woman who competed in martial arts today give you a silver coin?" ”

"You also said, it's a silver coin, do you know how much your treatment is? Seven gold coins, do you think my silver coin is enough to stuff your teeth? Ling Xia glanced at the shopkeeper.

"Master Pony, what should we do if we don't have money?" After a while, the ruler asked,

"What else can I do? I had to go out myself. While speaking, Ling Xia got up and went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, grabbing a month's worth of medicine.

……

"Catch the bad guys, someone touches porcelain, it doesn't matter if you don't pay for a doctor, and when you leave, you also defrauded a bag of herbs, it's a loss of conscience."

With the shouting, I saw three young men from the medical hall holding brooms and chasing behind wildly, while Ling Xia was running from the front with the shopkeeper on his back, because of the snow, so there was no one on the road, the three young men chased for four or five miles and then they were tired and couldn't walk, they were panting and squatting on the ground to rest, and they could only watch Ling Xia and the two run away.

In the dilapidated Taoist temple somewhere outside the city, because no one lives all the year round, all the houses on both sides have collapsed, only the room of the main hall dedicated to the gods is still complete, this room is not very large, it is more than 200 square meters, the dilapidated doors and windows and the cracked pillars, the broken statues and the broken offering table, look very desolate, no life at all.

The wind was howling outside, the snow was falling, the cold temperature made people shiver, at this time, the shopkeeper was lying on a pile of hay, a bunch of flames were lit next to the hay, the doors and windows were sealed by Ling Xia with the cloth wrapped in the statue, the cold wind could not blow in, the snowflakes could not drift in, and with the beating of the flames, the room was very warm.

I don't know where Ling Xia caught the two pheasants? After slaughtering and washing, Ling Xia skewered it with branches and sandwiched it on the fire to roast slowly, gradually, the appearance of the roast chicken began to turn slightly yellow, and bursts of aroma wafted from the house, Ling Xia sat and leaned on the pillar, holding his hands behind his head, holding a weed in the corner of his mouth, and thinking about something with a distracted face.

Just as Ling Xia and the others were waiting to eat roast chicken from the inside of the broken temple, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and two familiar voices came in at the same time: "Can we stop pretending to be father and daughter in the future?" This trick is about to be used up, I think we can pretend to be a couple, the kind of year-old love, although I am a little old, but the body is okay. ”

"I, don't you want to take advantage of me, senior brother, can you find a mirror to see your own appearance, you are in your sixties, pretending to be my grandfather is more than enough, let you pretend to be my father and feel old, you still want to pretend to be my year-old love, this matter is not good, this girl does not agree, you still continue to pretend to be my father."

"You think I'm old? You don't look at how old you are? Other women at your age, children will call their mothers, but now you haven't even married yet, don't let me pretend to be a year-old love and pull it down, I ---- cough cough---- I'm not rare, but we have to say okay, Li Xiucai's story can't be used anymore. ”

"I also think that story is full of flaws, how can there be such a coincidence, on the day of the wedding, I met a widow, and everyone else was fine, but my fiancé died, the tears were too low, and the method of recruiting relatives was too old-fashioned, this thing is not easy to cheat a lot of money, or let's change another story? How about selling yourself to bury your father? That story comes with money quickly. ”

The two walked into the Taoist temple while talking, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they noticed the strangeness of the direction of the main hall, the two looked at each other, all closed their mouths, the old man pointed to the main hall, signaled himself to go in to investigate the situation, after seeing the woman understand, they quietly approached the main hall, just when the old man was about to kick the door and rush in, the door suddenly opened.

Then, I saw Ling Xia standing at the door with his head probed, he opened the door and pointed inside: "Daddy Zhong, don't bother, come in quickly, just point to this door to keep out the cold, if you kick it, we will have to be frozen, what are you doing in a daze, come in, delay for a while, the heat in the house will run away." ”

It turned out that the two people who came in from outside at this time were the father and daughter who had recruited relatives from the street before, but listening to the conversation between the two just now, they should be fake father and daughter.

"Is that you? Why are you here? Zhong Shenjun said stunned.

"Of course it's me, as for why I'm here? The reason is simple, because I don't have any money. Ling Xia replied stupidly.

Zhong Shenchen and Zhong Yuanying glanced at each other, and then the two walked into the house, and after the two entered the house, Ling Xia hurriedly closed the door, he didn't notice that when Zhong Shenchen and the two entered the house, several figures sneakily rushed towards the direction of the Taoist temple.
