Chapter 697: Good Guys, Bad Guys
She just wanted to send him back to the next house as soon as possible, so she said, "It's not worth much, but my father made it up for me to dowry...... You can give five dollars...... Five dollars in one basket. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Mi didn't care about ten big bucks, he even thought that in the future, there would be two things around him that Cui Ying had touched with his hands - the basket and the broken silver.
Back here, Li Mi carried a small bag of change in his hand, and reached out his other hand to touch his left chest, where was a hidden bag. But he was stunned all of a sudden, the small piece of silver that Cui Ying pinched and threw in the palm of his hand was gone!
It was still there! Li Mi hurriedly ran back to the landlord's yard, and noticed it halfway, when he almost bumped into the landlord at the door. The landlord asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Li Mi lowered his head and looked for the place where he had just stood, but there was nothing. He was convinced that the only chance he could lose it was when he stood here and pulled out his money bag. He anxiously asked the woman, "Sister-in-law, do you see a piece of broken silver that I have dropped?" ”
The woman looked at him puzzled and said, "If you feel sorry for ten dollars, I will pay you back, as long as you can send my basket back!" Li Mi shook his hand again and again and said no, he was looking for silver.
The woman turned her face and said, "How much silver can you have?" Don't blame us, we don't see any money! ”
Li Mi took out a big ingot of silver from his trouser pocket and said eagerly, "Sister-in-law, I want to get that piece of silver back no matter what, you just need to return that small piece to me, this big ingot is yours, I am willing to exchange it with you!" ”
The woman's eyes lit up for a moment, and then she said disdainfully, "You don't want to be a fool, who believes you...... Besides, we are our own family, and we don't take advantage of you. Her man leaned over to her and said, "We don't happen to have a small piece, so you can exchange it with him!" ”
The woman glared at her husband, "How are you blinded by lard?!" Spread the word that we chose him," she said as she showed the small piece of silver she had just picked and held it in the palm of her hand. How can you rely on others to be a man! ”
Li Mi recognized at a glance that it was what he had just lost, and he stepped up and pointed, "This is mine!" ”
The other party clenched the silver and put his hand behind his back, "Why are you still hands-on!" This is in our house, and I don't believe you dare to rob me in broad daylight. ”
Li Mi would never let this piece of silver leave his sight again, leaned over and grabbed her wrist and forced it to the front, the woman screamed and lowered her head to bite him.
Li Mi didn't let go, let her bite the back of her hand hard, a heart-piercing pain, and pulled out the pain that had been unbearable for more than a year. Master Changshi, a fisherman who sells fish...... The long history and fruit seller made one of the most inferior villagers shout, "Come here!! "Let a village woman dare to teach him a lesson after relying on the money!!
His eyes were bloodshot and he punched her in the temple, and she fell to the ground with her breath down, knocking over a stool. The landlord was stunned for a moment, and ran towards him with a long-handled hoe behind the courtyard door.
How is he Li Mi's opponent, Li Mi dodged the hoe he had smashed down, locked his throat with one hand, waved the other, and struck him hard one after another on his hateful face. Blood spurted out, but he didn't stop until his eyes were blank and his body went limp.
Li Mi ran over and pulled out the lost and recovered silver from the fallen village woman's hand. She snorted, and he couldn't let her scream anymore, and everything was broken.
Anyway, the landlord's head was on the ground, and the blood in his mouth and nose was already dripping all over the ground, and there was no help. Li Mi picked up the low stool that had fallen beside him and smashed it down at the village woman.
There are some things that cannot be squeaked, even if they are said to be above board. Therefore, the old couple did not make much movement. Li Mi plugged the courtyard door from the inside. He calmly searched the landlord's yard and house, and only found three and a half copper coins in their cupboard.
Then they found the breakfast they had just made from the stove, and squatted on the ground to eat it slowly, thinking about their future plans.
He can't stay here anymore, the landlord's two sons will go separately, but maybe they will come over to see it at any time, then a large group of Dangyang County catchers will soon pour here, and Shi Zhen has something to do.
People don't deceive others, people deceive themselves, when you are soft enough and humble enough, even a worm will stare at you. You want to be a peddler, and it's impossible. Li Mi thought, you have a fart to guard Cui Ying here, she is now the official lady of the Qianzhou Assassin Shi Gao Xing, she is willing to stop half a step for you!
In order to approach her, he had to be at eye level with her, so why did he sit there and look at her feet from under the brimmed hat? Li Mi, don't you have a brain?!
He didn't dare to go through the gate, for fear that someone would crash in, so he climbed over the courtyard wall that was not high in the middle. He wants to pack up, go to Chang'an, find Zongzheng Shaoqing Fan Boshan, and start as a guest secretary......
As he cleaned up, he thought that this might be his last chance. To be a guest behind the scenes, you don't have to show your face, and when you have a certain foundation, it is possible for him to find an official position outside, and it is best to go to Qianzhou.
He rode out on a mule, and there were already more people on the street, but no one cared about him as a foreigner, and he unknowingly turned onto the mountain road to Shanyang Town. In the woods a few miles outside the town of Shanyang, he released a mule to set it free, and then walked step by step into the town.
It was broad daylight, and he didn't dare to go into the town, so he turned into a large vegetable field outside the town. All kinds of vegetables in the field were growing lushly, and the eggplant had grown into a fist-sized bag, and he lay down under the eggplant seedlings and picked the eggplant to satisfy his hunger.
He was going to take one last look at the woman and start a new journey.
Li Mi saw Shi Zhen hurrying over with two servants and stepping into Cui Ying's courtyard through the gap under the eggplant seedlings. I couldn't see anything in the courtyard, but Li Mi could imagine the flowers and laughter inside.
Soon, he saw Cui Ying carrying the two bamboo baskets in his hands, accompanied by Shi Zhen, came out, and put the baskets outside the door according to the original position.
It was almost noon, and two young women came out of Cui's courtyard talking and laughing, and they carried the two baskets. It was to the vegetable field where Li Mi was hiding.
Li Mi recognized one as Fan Ying and the other as Li Wanqing. One of their fathers is Liangzhou Thorn Shi, and one of their uncles is Zongzheng Shaoqing, so the gait of carrying the basket seems to Li Mi to be sarcastic to him.
Before they arrived, he guessed what they were going to pick, and then quietly hid into the depths. Li Wanqing said, "Sister, what kind of vegetables shall we pick?" ”
Fan Ying said, "In short, so many dishes are from our family, and my mother wants to keep Shizhen to eat to show her gratitude, and we just need to pick some fresh ones." ”
The two didn't speak for a while, listening to Li Wanqing still humming a song. After a while, Li Wanqing asked, "Sister, you said that the one who killed two people in Danfeng Town in a row would really be him?" ”
Fan Ying said, "It's possible, what can't be done by that immoral thing?" Didn't my mother just recall that when she bought plums that day, she looked at his hands a little familiar? And he refused to look up or speak, convinced that he was at least an acquaintance. ”
"But it's a little too good that he's willing to send more plums," Wanqing said.
Fan Ying said, "Huh? How did the eggplant here be picked by whom! I don't remember if we picked it up...... Sister, you don't have to say that he is good, if it is him, do you still say that he is good? Some people have one set in front of them and one behind their backs, just like this person who steals eggplants, who looks like a person in front of him, but even picks eggplants that have not grown up. ”
Wan Qing said, "Sister, it's hard to scold him, maybe he's just thirsty!" ”
Fan Ying said, "I don't believe it, if you go to the side of the road and get thirsty, you should pick one by the side of the road, but look at here and here, they have all been picked up, and to quench your thirst, you have run to the center of the earth to pick it?" ”
Wanqing said, "That's really the case, damn it, Cheng Xin doesn't want us to find out." ”
The two picked the vegetables and left with the basket, Li Mi vaguely heard Fan Ying talk about himself, "That Li Mi, I remember being caught by my senior brother and taken to Ezhou, how could I come here......"
Li Mi thought that when he met Fan Boshan and changed his name to Li Yin, these people probably didn't know about it, but this was his only chance to turn over. Li Mi crouched in the vegetable patch, and fiercely pulled off the eggplant buns and stuffed them into his mouth.
