"Old Su, hello. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Tao Chang greeted warmly.

Lao Su nodded, "Lao Tao, Lao Mao is at home, let's talk to him about something, and we have to go back later." ”

In the courtyard, everything was as usual, in the big house, those slave laborers were arranged inside, pretending to continue working, the smell of tobacco powder still permeated the air, but it was difficult for people to name and see the leader. Tao Chang quietly glanced at Duan Laosan next to him. Duan Laosan walked up with a smile and said: "Brother Mao suddenly fell ill in the morning, and the brothers took him to find Langzhong, because he was so sick that we couldn't figure it out, so we took him to a distant place to find an experienced famous doctor, and I can't come back tonight." ”

"Then we'll wait for him." The two walked into the hut and wiped their sweat as they walked, "This weather, it's really hot, just rest for a while, Lao Mao, this guy, usually like a calf, why did he suddenly get sick?" Walking into the house, he sat on a chair, shaking a fan and chatting, with a look of not giving up when he couldn't see Lao Mao.

"Yes, yes, we'll find it right away." Duan Laosan smiled on his face, feeling a little embarrassed. Sit down and make small talk with the two guys.

Outside, everyone was nervous, and when he heard that someone had to wait for Lao Mao, he hurriedly ordered, "Quick, let Shi Suo quickly disguise." ”

Shi Suo hid in a hut and changed his clothes, Cui Dalong was busy applying oil mud and painting skin tones on his face, and the two captives next to him gave directions: "Eyes, Lao Mao's eyes are not so big, and his face is a little whiter......"

Because he hadn't seen what Lao Mao looked like, Dalong could only estimate it according to the captive's description, so it was very difficult, and after a long time, the two captives still shook their heads, "It's not too like, it's not like." ”

Everyone was very anxious, and Dafeng said: "Ahem, don't make up, wrap your face with a white cloth." Shi Suo also said, "Yes, wrap my face." ”

Everyone was helpless, and they could only think about it, so they wrapped Shi Suo's face with a white cloth, leaving only his eyes, nose and mouth exposed, and then let him hide on a stretcher and carry him to the hut.

The two guests were stunned for a moment, "Is this Lao Mao?" What happened to him? ”

Shi Suo looked weak, nodded, muttered "mmmmmmmm

Duan Laosan said: "He went up the mountain, but he met a wild snake, and was accidentally sprayed with a face of venom, hehe, it was like this, you don't know, at that time, Lao Mao had died, we all thought that we couldn't save it, fortunately I found a well-known snake doctor, to rescue it, even so, maybe it will fall into the problem of stiff skin and convulsions of the mouth." ”

Stone Lock's lips quivered.

The two guests frowned and sat back in their chairs, "Lao Mao, I have a few words to give to you." Our factory still has to be expanded, and the master is going to get some more workers, and the factory is not enough, so he will build a few new houses. ”

"Uh-huh." Stone Lock lay down and nodded.

"Also, the old man will arrive the morning after tomorrow, you are ready to greet him, and the old man will look at the production situation in the factory, and leave after lunch. Here's the menu, you just have to prepare lunch as ordered. In addition, he prepared the food of the forty brethren, and put the accounts in order, and the lord was to check the accounts. ”

"Uh-huh."

Lao Su took out a "menu" from his arms, put it on the table, stood up and arched his hand to the stone lock, "Lao Mao, you take care of it, arrange the things to welcome the master, and there will be a period later." With that, he walked out the door. Duan Laosan chased it out, took a handful of silver dollars, stuffed it into Lao Su's hand, and said with a smile: "There will be a period later, please take care of it." ”

"Hehe, brother, you're welcome." Lao Su saw the money and smiled.

Sending the two guests away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Suo untied the cloth on his face, the weather was sweltering, stuffy his head was sweating, dripping down, and the powder mud that Dalong gave the makeup, his face was full of flowers, like a green-skinned watermelon, Dafeng laughed next to him. Tao Chang and the others also laughed, "Mr. Shi, we have cooperated well, can we give an antidote?" ”

"Give, give it right away." Stone Lock was busy washing the mud off his face.

Dafeng took the menu, only to see that it read: "Tangerine peel vinegar fish, hibiscus roast pork, crab roe crispy steak, slippery egg shrimp, glutinous rice black chicken......" A large list of dish names, Dafeng couldn't help laughing, Shi Suo just finished washing his face, standing behind Dafeng to look at the menu, and scratched his head with a smile, he not only had never eaten such a dish, but he had never heard of it, shook his head and said: "Good girl, what a big show, it seems that we have to invite a chef from the imperial dining room." ”

Everyone guessed what kind of formation this majestic old man Wang was. Dafeng said: "It must be like the emperor on the stage, with an umbrella cover on his head, a gong in front of him, and then a clean water splashing the street...... Shi Suo interrupted her, "Forget it, and play a gong, isn't that a monkey?" ”

After looking forward to it for more than a day, Master Wang finally came.

On this morning, Gai put his head and Tao Chang personally went to the creek to "fish", and Dafeng pretended to be a peasant woman and washed clothes by the stream. There was a horse bell ringing at the bottom of the slope, and a dozen or so horses, walking along the road, immediately carrying large bags and small wraps, and a few horsemen walking underground, seemed to be a horse gang.

When the horse gang reached the creek, he whispered to Tao Chang and said, "The master will be there soon." ”

"Yes, we're all set." Tao often said.

The caravan went to the compound on its own. Dafeng asked, "How do you use the horse gang to open the way?" I didn't hit the gong. Gai smiled with his head, "Striking gongs is what ancient people did. It is most suitable to use the caravan to open the way, but if you encounter other bandits, you must rob the caravan first, and then you will get the news later. ”

The time was not big, a group of people, from far to near, more than 20 men on horseback, surrounded by three carriages, from far to near. The three carriages were just the kind of cars with sheds that ordinary farmers hauled people, and they were no different from the small rich people in the village. The difference is that the two dozen or so guards in front of and behind the car are all wearing strong suits and fierce expressions, some carrying big guns on their backs, and some carrying long knives. Gai reminded him: "It's coming, it's coming." Dafeng was a little disappointed, looking at this pomp, it was far worse than he imagined.

The horse team was getting closer and closer, and Gai stood by the stream, at this time Shi Suo and a group of people came out of the courtyard, lined up to greet them by the small bridge, and the horses in front of them quickly galloped to the front, and one of the leaders looked left and right on the horse for a while, and asked, "Where is Lao Mao?" ”

Gai put his head with a smile on his face, "Brother Mao's leg is injured and he can't move, let's greet the master." ”

The man on the horse snorted, did not dismount, and urged the horse to gallop across the bridge, and the horses and vehicles behind him crossed the bridge in turn and walked into the village. The head of the gay looked at the three carriages, and although it was hot, the curtains of the carriages were all scattered, and the people inside could not be seen. (To be continued.) )
