Chapter 12: Blood Jade
Li Zhi and his entourage of three people want to go to Zhaojiagou to buy an ox cart as a means of transportation, because Li Zhi is now running for his life, it is not good to disturb Zhao Sancai, if this matter affects others, it will make Li Zhi even more upset
All the money on Li Zhi's body was left on Zhao Sanniang, and it can be said that he has no long things now, and he is poor
So the money to buy the ox cart had to come out of Li Cuihuaer, there is a carport made of bamboo pieces behind the carriage of the ox cart, just used to shelter from the wind and rain, after buying the car, in the spirit of not bothering the two masters, and Li Laoshi, who sold the ox cart, bought a cow, and spent a lot of money in the case of the ox cart is not afraid of the quality of the ox cart, and people at this time can still believe it
After the ox cart was purchased, Li Zhi and his entourage did not delay much, and after a hasty lunch, Li Zhi drove Li Cuihua's mother and daughter to Qingping County
Qingping County is located in the plain, under the rule of Guizhou, more than 200 kilometers away from Rongzhou, where Kangjiagou is located, Li Zhi roughly calculated, driving an ox cart, if it goes well, it will take about seven or eight days to arrive, but the road is far away, over the mountains and mountains
I don't know what will happen on the road, but with Li Cuihua, a big master, escorting me, I don't think there will be any big trouble
The ox cart was slow, not as bumpy as the horse-drawn carriage, and if he couldn't meet an inn on the road, Li Zhi would travel a little more, until it was completely dark, and he would build a bonfire in the mountains and fields, and pass the two rabbits
As for the sleeping place, he can only grieve Li Zhi, after all, he is the only man here, Li Cuihua's mother and daughter sleep in the shed of the ox cart, and he keeps vigil outside alone to prevent jackals and other animals from approaching
However, what makes Li Zhi complain is that Li Cuihua is still a beauty, and she actually snores when she sleeps? And the voice is loud, I don't know if Li Cuihua's father will have nightmares when he hears it when he sleeps at night?
On this day, an ox cart slowly drove on the official road in Ningyuan Township, and a big man with five big and three thick faces and a stubble on the ox cart was drowsy holding the reins in his hand, bowing his head from time to time, his head drooping down, and after a closer look, he actually fell asleep when he was catching the car, this person was Li Zhi
After three days of fast horses, Li Zhi and his entourage finally came out of the territory of Rongzhou, and the three of them came to Ningyuan Township, which is located in Rongzhou, at the junction with Guizhou, is the most remote township in Rongzhou, according to Li Cuihua, out of this Ningyuan Township is out of the boundary of Rongzhou, and enters the territory of Guizhou
Li Zhi woke up from his drowsiness with an ox cart, and saw that there was an inn at the foot of the mountain, so Li Zhi shouted into the carriage
Aunt Li, there is an inn in front of you, and it's not too early, why don't we rest here for the night?
It's okay, Li Cuihua agreed
Oops, you don't have to take a car, an obviously somewhat brisk voice reached Li Zhi's ears, and Li Zhi smiled, Pear Blossom girl, this is much farther than Kanjiagou to Zhaojiabao, right?
Brother Iron Hammer, people's bodies are about to fall apart, you still say some cool words, and take Li Zhi's arm and walk to the inn
Walking, I'm a little hungry, I want to eat beef, and I want to. Li Lihua counted the same with her fingers
After waiting around the corner, while Li Cuihua was not paying attention, Li Zhi quickly and secretly kissed Li Lihua's face
During this time, I had more contact with Li Lihua before I realized that her lively waves were cute, and all the people who were chattering along the way were Li Lihua talking to Li Zhi, and there was more contact on the road, so naturally there was no restraint, and Li Lihua also let go a lot, and often made some jokes with Li Zhi
However, Li Lihua was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of overly bold move, exclaimed in a low voice, looked back at Li Cuihua's direction as if she was a thief, and then twisted Li Zhi's arm vigorously and ran forward
Looking at Li Lihua, whose neck was already blushing, Li Zhi smiled, it was not the first time to kiss her, but every time she was so shy, it was really... It's really interesting
Not to mention that Li Zhi just likes Li Lihua's shyness, every time he sees Li Lihua's shy face, he wants to step forward to tease
Just when Li Zhi wanted to catch up further, he heard a cough behind him, and saw Li Cuihua standing behind him looking at him, Li Zhi glanced at Li Cuihua with a weak heart, praying that the scene just now was not discovered by her, otherwise with Li Cuihua's temper, he estimated that he would be more than lucky, and he would inevitably be beaten
When Li Zhi was passing by, Li Cuihua stopped and whispered to Li Zhi, Don't think that I can't see anything when I'm dizzy, Li Zhi smiled
Brother Hammer, come here! Here is your favorite apricot blossom roast, Li Zhi hurriedly agreed, looked down at Li Cuihua's face, and discussed with Li Lihua
In the corner that Li Zhi didn't see, Li Cuihua shook her head and smiled, muttering to herself, it's really good to be young!
Guest officer, what a good eyesight! This apricot blossom roast is a specialty of our restaurant, not only has a mellow taste, but also prolongs life after drinking
Listening to the store's exaggerated introduction with some familiar accents, Li Zhi stepped forward and asked, I don't know who the store is? Is this apricot blossom grilled home-brewed?
The small hometown is in Zhaojiabao in the north of Qinghe County, a small place, the guest officer must not have heard of it, the shopkeeper touched his stomach and said with a smile
Li Zhi didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, and Li Lihua was also very happy, so the three of them started talking
It turned out that the shopkeeper's surname was Zhao, the third in the family, and he had been away from his hometown for many years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info left him alone, and had to flee to this Ningyuan Township and opened this inn
The joy of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is obviously not only Li Zhi and the others, Li Laosan just generously sent a plate of beef, which can be seen
The joy of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country has diluted the sorrow of leaving home, and Li Lihua has been a little sad in the past few days, but this time it has also dispersed a lot
Before they knew it, the sun had set, the sky was getting dark, and the shopkeeper had left after arranging their accommodation
Li Zhi and the three of them went back to their rooms after eating downstairs
Li Zhi cleaned up, asked the store for some water, and after washing, he walked to Li Cuihua's mother and daughter's room, intending to discuss tomorrow's itinerary
When I went out, I happened to meet Li Lihua coming from the room, and Li Zhi asked: Is there something wrong with the pear blossom girl?
Brother Hammer, come with me
Li Zhi promised to follow Li Lihua out of the door and bury the peace stone? Li Zhi thought for a while and asked
Well, Li Lihua said: Today I want to bury three pieces
Three pieces? Is there still a piece of me?
Li Lihua traveled all the way, as long as there is time to park, whether it is sleeping in the mountains or resting in the inn, as long as it goes to a strange place, one of the things Li Lihua must do is to bury the peace stone, according to Li Lihua, this custom is still the custom in Li Lihua's hometown of Li Lihua's mother
After coming out of Kanjiagou, Li Lihua's peace stone became two, Li Zhi also joked that when he wanted Li Lihua to bury a piece for him, Li Lihua did not speak at that time, but now it seems to be in his heart
The inn is not big, that is, several houses, according to the shopkeeper, these houses used to be an old house, and then abandoned and he bought it and turned it into an inn
The backyard of the inn is next to the foot of the mountain, and there is a section of open space between the foot of the mountain and the inn that is used as the backyard of the inn, in which the horses and carts of the guest officers are placed
Brother Iron Hammer, just be there, Li Lihua pointed to the backyard not far away, where there is a very thick old jujube tree, it seems that the years should not be short
When he came to the side of the jujube tree, he knew that the jujube tree was taller and taller than the one he had just seen in the distance, and Li Lihua chose a place to start working
Li Zhi saw that Li Lihua was digging a pit and preparing to bury the peace stone, so he circled around the jujube tree a few times with nothing to do
can't blame Li Zhi for not pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade, but when Li Lihua buried the peace stone before, Li Zhi also offered to help, but Li Lihua told Li Zhi that if Li Zhi helped, then the heart would be insincere, and all the big and small things of burying the peace stone had to come by herself, from selecting the stone to carving and burying the stone, it was all Li Lihua who completed it alone
What is this? It's so hard, Brother Hammer, come and see, this thing seems to be a piece of jade
Li Zhi heard the sound and came over, only to see that Li Lihua was holding this piece of broken jade pendant in one hand, the jade pendant should be cut by some sharp weapon, neatly disconnected from the middle, what jade material Li Zhi couldn't see, but the jade pendant had been stained with some blood, and the blood had soaked the jade body, and it was no longer worth anything
