Chapter 21: Flying Cloud City I
Li Rijing, Wang Gou'er, Wang Xian, Meng Ersil, and Chang Haoxue fled on horseback for several days, and shook off the pursuers from afar.
On this day, they arrived at a place called Feiyun City. The city is densely populated, full of merchants with horses and horses, and the streets are full of small traders doing business, selling all kinds of goods.
Li Rijing and the five of them casually found a hotel and sat down.
Meng Erdu: "Alas, there is finally a place to rest!" ”
Wang Gou'er: "Yes, after being chased by these people for so long, it is finally like you can rest!" ”
Chang Haoxue glared at Wang Gou'er: "Dog, don't talk nonsense, be careful of being listened to by others!" ”
Wang Gou'er stuck out his tongue and shouted in his heart: "Haoxue, your dog brother knows it in his heart!" ”
Wang Xian: "Brother Li, the brothers have been running away for several days, and the money is almost gone, what should I do in the future?" ”
Li Rijing: "I plan to find an opportunity to return to Beijing. ”
At this time, four big men walked in and sat next to them. Li Rijing looked at the momentum of these four people, and was afraid of causing some trouble, so he glanced at everyone, and everyone knew that the situation was wrong, so they all bowed their heads and did not speak.
As soon as the four big men sat down, they bowed their heads together and whispered to each other, and no one else knew what they were talking about. When he arrived at the store, Xiao Er cautiously went up and asked, "Four guest officers, what do you want?" ”
The four big men noticed that the shopkeeper was coming, so they hurriedly stopped talking. Among them, the soapy man said: "The shopkeeper, if there is anything delicious, just go up!" Don't bother us when you're done! ”
The shopkeeper was like a pardon, and quickly retreated. Li Rijing felt that something was not quite right, so he glanced at Wang Gou'er, Wang Gou'er understood, and leaned back a little towards those people.
When the four big men served food in that shop, they only drank tea and ate vegetables, and never spoke, Li Rijing felt slightly disappointed.
The four of them were almost on the second day of the shop, so they asked, "Are there any dishes?" ”
Shopkeeper: "It's gone, it's gone." Don't the four guest officers drink some wine? ”
One of them said, "Come on!" The mouth is boring, and two glasses of wine are used to moisten the throat. ”
The big man in the soap coat seemed to be the boss, and when he heard the man say that he wanted two glasses of wine, he said, "What kind of wine!" You still have to drink if you have any joints, and sooner or later you will be bad in your hands like this! The man who wanted to drink dared to reply, so he had to bow his head and say nothing, and the other two did not speak, but smiled slightly, as if the two were always like this.
Shopkeeper: "That's okay, since the four guest officers don't drink, then I won't bother, and I'll shout if there's something!" ”
The four of them stayed in the store and walked away, and they actually discussed secretly around their heads.
After a while, the shopkeeper took a plate of beef and went to the four of them, and when they came to the table, the four didn't notice.
The shopkeeper: "Four guest officers, serve the food!" ”
This sentence is actually very common, it is just a call to serve the food, who knew that these four people were actually taken aback. The man who was going to drink before was stunned, turned to look at the shopkeeper, and suddenly got angry, stood up and slapped him, and shook the poor shopkeeper to the left a few steps, scolding: "Why are you here again?!" ”
The shopkeeper was slapped in the eye, looking at this plate of beef, thinking that fortunately he didn't fall, and when he heard this man's question, he quickly replied: "This ...... This...... This is our store sent, today our small shop to do activities, spent more than five taels of silver to send a pot of beef. Excuse me."
"I think you did it on purpose!" The big man dragged the chest of the shopkeeper with one hand, and slowly touched the big knife to the side with the other, "Honestly! What do you hear?! ”
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, so he hurriedly begged: "Guest officer, I'm ...... I...... I"
"What am I! You just have a ghost in your heart, and you can't speak clearly! ”
"I ...... I...... I didn't eavesdrop! "The shopkeeper is going to cry.
The soap-clothed man stepped forward and dragged the man, and said, "Forget it, forget it, forgive him for not having the guts!" Then he walked up to the shopkeeper, "Beef is," picked up a slice and ate it, "Well, yes, it's chewy, let's put it away." Go back and tell your boss, thank you! ”
At this time, the shopkeeper felt that this soap-clothed man was a saint, and he was very grateful, until the soap-clothed man was impatient, and he turned around and asked the shopkeeper to push it down, and he turned around and walked away.
When the second child left the store, the four began to whisper silently again. Maybe it was because of the shopkeeper, the four of them were a lot more cautious, and after saying a few words, they stopped for a while and then continued.
After a while, the four of them finished eating and went to the guest room to rest. Li Rijing glanced at the four people and said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with these four people!" ”
Wang Xian: "I also think that there is something wrong with their behavior. ”
Chang Haoxue: "Brother Dog, what did you hear just now?" ”
Wang Gou'er: "These four people spoke too lowly, and I only heard a few words. Then he looked at the stairs and was sure that the four people had gone up, "They said that tonight, Chen Mansion, we will do it together, we are here, what you want, don't worry, just go." I really can't hear the rest. ”
Li Rijing turned his head and called the shopkeeper and asked, "Do you have a big family surnamed Chen?" ”
The shopkeeper probably felt that these people were much kinder than the four of them, so he smiled and replied, "The guest officer asked about the Chen Mansion." The current head of this Chen Mansion is Chen Huayan, and we are all called Chen Dashanren. ”
Li Rijing: "Oh~, then what is he doing?" ”
Shopkeeper: "He's doing a good deal." Grain, tea, porcelain, silk and everything are sold! The family's money, I heard my cousin's classmate's neighbor's cousin who works in Chen's Mansion say, their family's money", the shopkeeper hugged his hands out, and made a lot of gestures, "That's really a lot of money to fill this hotel!" Fortunately, Chen Dashan would send housekeepers to the streets on the first and fifteenth days of each month to do good, and when everyone cried, he would give some money to let everyone live. Hey, today is the fifteenth, when Chen Dashan does good, I will also go to earn a little money, do you want to go and see how many guest officers want to take a look? Maybe Chen Dashan will also reward you with some money. ”
Li Rijing listened to it interestingly, so he said: "A few of us are a little bit entangled, and we also look forward to more good people." However, a few of us who have just arrived in your land are not familiar with the place, and we are sleepy and tired, so we want to go up and rest first, Xiao Er, call us when you go. ”
Shopkeeper: "Okay, it's all wrapped up in the villain!" ”
Li Rijing: "But we want a room next to the four of us!" ”
Shopkeeper: "Okay, it's a trivial matter!" It's just that a few guest officers should be careful of those few, they are very fierce! ”
Li Rijing: "It's okay, we won't mess with him." ”
