On a long official road, sparse figures were hurrying forward, only two people leaned under the big tree next to the official road, one was an old man with white hair, and the other was a young man in strange clothes.

The young man pursed his lips and said weakly: "Old man, we have been walking for five days, every time you pass through the town, you say you can't go in, but this time you have to go in, as long as you enter the city, I will have a way to get food, maybe I can get a horse, then we will run all the way, and we will be able to reach the county in two days, do you say?" ”

The old man was extremely speechless to the young man at the moment, the first few days were fine, I felt that he was polite and polite, but in the past two days, getting along has changed a lot, not only speaking vulgarly, but also scolding from time to time.

The old man thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Child, you must not enter the city, that is self-defeating, it is better to bypass this city." ”

"Fart, all I know is that if we don't eat, we'll die in no time, if you're timid, stay here, I'll be back before dark."

The young man stood up slowly, although his feet were frivolous and his mind was dizzy, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, handed the knife on his body to the old man and said: "Old man, you just stay here, do you see the big tree you are leaning on, gnaw the bark when you are hungry, swallow saliva when you are thirsty, the young master will have a full meal when he enters the city, and he will definitely bring you delicious food when the time comes." ”

After saying this, the boy picked up half of the dead branch at his feet, and walked towards the city in a standing position

The young man is Wang Xu, after five days of getting along, under his coercion and temptation, the old man finally made a poisonous oath to the dragon god, Wang Xu believed at the moment, the old man who was with him for five days must be either rich or expensive, as long as he was sent back to the county town safely, the benefits were naturally indispensable to his own, and he was still worried about not eating?

With hope, there is motivation, the two-mile journey is in the blink of an eye, looking at the city from afar, Wang Xu showed a smile on his face for the first time, like other beggars, did not encounter any obstacles, and easily entered the county seat, other beggars began to look for a shack for soup soup as soon as they entered the county, but Wang Xu began to look for pawnshops all over the world as soon as he entered the city

In a pawnshop in the east of the city, a young beggar in cross-dressing limped into the pawnshop with a half-cut dead branch in his hand, the shopkeeper shook his head gently, sighed, took out a bun from the back room and handed it to the young man, the young man snatched it violently, and the three of them got it, and then said angrily: "Boy, don't look down on people, do you think I look like a person who asks for food?" Hurry up and call your boss out, I'm going to give him a fairy thing. ”

"You" The young man at the pawnshop glanced at the young man with disdain, and mocked: "Just rely on you, return the things of the immortal family?" You go and fill your stomach first. ”

The boy didn't argue with him, but took out a palm-sized object from his trouser pocket, and made a crisp "click" at the pawnshop guy, and then handed the object to the guy, only to see that the pawnshop guy was stunned, because he saw a person exactly like him, such a treasure, the guy had never seen it, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, and immediately ran to the back room to inform the boss after handing over the object to the boy.

The boy took the object, looked at the upper left corner of the object, and said anxiously, "You hurry up,"

After the guy left, the boy wiped his cold sweat,, the power was almost out

What he was holding in his hand was a modern and cheap obsolete mobile phone, a second-hand item that he had spent twenty yuan on, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Before a cup of tea was served, the pawnshop owner came out, and the boy immediately handed over the object to the boss, who played with it for a while and said, "Young man, how many taels of silver are you going to make?"

The young man said in a surprising voice: "I don't want silver taels,"

"Don't want silver taels? So what do you want to change? The pawnshop owner wondered.

"A wagon, three days' worth of dry food for two people,"

"Really?"

"Seriously!" The boy affirmed.

"Well, you can wait here, and the wagon and dry rations will be ready in no time."

The pawnshop owner was ecstatic in his heart, what could the carriage and dry food be worth, such a treasure was rare in the world, at least he had never seen it, and even if he spent money, he couldn't buy it.

After a while, the pawnshop guy led the carriage to the pawnshop, and the dry food for three days was put on the carriage, and the boy did not talk nonsense, jumped into the carriage, and with a wave of the horsewhip, the horse galloped forward in pain

It took almost two hours to reach the county seat, but it didn't take half an hour to drive the carriage back.

The old man still leaned against the big tree, and the fruit knife swung vigorously, and the small pieces of bark were put into his mouth, and he ate with relish.

Wang Xu was stunned, he was talking casually at the time, but he didn't expect him to really eat the bark, it seemed that he was really hungry, Wang Xu stepped forward and snatched the fruit knife in the old man's hand, and quipped: "Old man, how does it taste?" ”

Waving the uneaten half of the bark in his hand, he handed it to Wang Xu and said, "It's good, do you want a piece?" ”

"Who's going to eat this, come, see what it is." He took a piece of baked cake and a bag of water from the carriage, and shook it in front of the old man, who grabbed it and chopped it into large pieces.

Finally something to eat!

Wang Xu was not slow, took a baked cake and devoured it, and said while eating: "Old man, don't go to the county town to ask for food, and mix with my brother in the future, make sure you eat fragrant and drink spicy food." ”

"Messing with you?" The old man took a bite of the baked cake and said with a smile: "Let's mix with you for the time being, when you get to the county town, you will mix with the master, and you will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime." ”

"Hehe, old boy, the tone is not small, eat your baked cakes."

Gussi County

In the side hall of the palace, looking at the figure in the dark, Zhou Yi asked, "Aguche, have you found that old thing?" ”

"Shizi, his subordinates have sent many killers, and there are our people in the county along the way, as long as he shows up, he won't be able to escape."

"Don't be too careless, such a good opportunity is hard to find through the ages; You must not let him return to the royal city," Zhou Yi's sinister and cunning face suddenly appeared a trace of Zhengling, and he gritted his teeth and said sharply: "After finding it, it will be executed on the spot, and after the matter is over, all the killers you find will be executed, leaving no one alive." ”

"No".

Under the leadership of Zhao Qing, the Siya Forbidden Army set off as early as five days ago, and there were forbidden troops stationed in the county, checkpoints, and official roads along the way, and thousands of forbidden troops searched everywhere along the official roads, but five days have passed, and no clues have been found; The same is true of Aguche, there are spies sent in each county, and on the official roads, there are no killers disguised as merchants and refugees, but no matter how they search, they will find nothing.

It was getting dark, and under a high mountain, a large fire flickered, the size of half a house, and a sloppy old man was looking around for firewood, and a teenager was throwing the wood into the fire around it, shouting as he threw it: "Old man, bring the dry wood quickly, the firewood unloaded by the carriage is almost finished." ”

When the sloppy old man heard the shout, he quickly picked up the wood on the ground and walked to the fire, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "You kid, I said that you can only roast a horse's leg, you have to make something to roast the whole horse, such a big horse, let's finish eating?" ”
