Chapter 13: It's a pity that he's a cripple
Next, Chu Suifeng did not go to Shen County, but decided to recuperate in Linqing first, because the holy decree did not let him leave immediately, so he stayed in Linqing to watch the changes in the situation.
Somehow, he felt very strange about Fang Chenghua, who had also crossed over.
He had heard too many strange words that day, but he couldn't figure out where the strange thing was.
Fang Chenghua didn't rush him, and after the new governor arrived, he escorted the convoy of Gao Qi hidden prisoners on the road.
On the day of departure, Chu Suifeng deliberately went to send it with a cane, the other party seemed a little high, and when he passed by him, he didn't pick the sedan curtain and passed like that, which made Chu Suifeng feel that the other party was very strange, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
However, thinking of the disparity between the identities of the two and the fact that they are theoretical allies, I feel a lot more relieved.
After another two days, I tried to get a lot better, and although I was still limping when I walked, I didn't need to use crutches, so I covered my green shirt and went out on my feet.
The sun outside is good, and the sun is warm on the body.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be swept away by a broom, and the sky was blue and white.
The cold winter wind has also become much softer, blowing people's clothes fluttering, feeling comfortable and refreshing.
Chu went to the Qingshui Bridge in the south of the city with the wind, where there was a market, there were all kinds of everything, and it was very lively on weekdays.
Glimpsing someone slaughtering livestock by the river, Chu staggered over with the wind, one of the purposes of his trip was to buy a chicken stew.
Today is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and it will be the New Year in nine days, so he went to the street to buy some New Year's goods.
The butchers and traders threw the unused rotten skin and bones directly into the Qingshui River, which was dyed red on half of the frozen river, and the bank was filled with a fishy pungent smell, but those people did not care about the fresh meat and bargained with the buyers.
The chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs in the cage next to them barked in horror, as if they had foreseen the fate of the future.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this chicken cost? I want it. Chu Suifeng, who had finally squeezed over, looked at the flock of chickens, and pointed to a Luhua chicken with a good coat color and a fat body inside.
The butcher rolled up his dirty sleeves and reached into the cage, grabbed the chicken's two wings and pulled it out by the neck, and pinched it until its mouth was open and its eyes were closed.
The man looked at the chicken in his hand, and said with a smile to Chu Suifeng.
"Uncle is really discerning! This rooster is the best in it, and I don't ask you how much you want, how about two coins of silver? ”
Before the words fell, a young man wearing a white fox fur and a pure white cotton scarf on his head swept the green book in his hand horizontally.
"Hey~ shopkeeper, didn't this chicken say that it was easy to sell to me! How did you sell it to someone else?! ”
After speaking, he glared at Chu Suifeng viciously, and the latter sighed, only then did he know that someone had already asked for this chicken.
Chu Suifeng was about to give up, but the shopkeeper quickly retracted the chicken, and said with a very impatient face.
"Yes! You want it first, but the one on your left is expensive and the one on your right is not good, like a little woman, and I can't afford to serve it. ”
Chu Suifeng turned his head to look after hearing this, and sure enough, the other party's eyes were like lacquer, his face was exquisite, if it weren't for the heroic spirit between his eyebrows, he really looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old cross-dressing girl.
The young man blushed when he was teased by the merchant, and his cowardly appearance became more and more like a delicate beauty. Mother.
Chu Suifeng was a wonder in his heart, at this time when Wang Shouren's "Xinxue" was popular, the minds of men and women were unprecedentedly emancipated, and it was normal for women to go to the streets, so why should women dress up as men?
Even if the other party is the daughter of a large family, there is no need to go through such a big effort, unless......
"Bold! How can you slander my young master! Puzzled, the two strong men in gray cloth behind the man in white shouted at the top of their voices, attracting sideways glances from the pedestrians around.
The man in white turned his head and glanced at the two strong men with a gloomy face, and the two of them were silent in unison.
Chu Suifeng was surprised when he saw it, thinking about the other party's words and deeds, but he said to the shopkeeper with a smile on his face.
"Since the other party wants it first, I'll change it."
The beautiful young man smiled apologetically at Chu Suifeng, took out a silver horn from his arms and handed it to the store.
The other party weighed the silver and bit it with his teeth, and then picked up a ruler-long knife with a smile on his face and wiped it on the neck of the Luhua chicken, and then threw it into the brown wooden barrel on the side.
After that, it became slower and slower, and when it was completely stopped, the master took the dead chicken from the bucket with a smile and threw it into the hot water basin that had been prepared long ago......
"I want this one."
Chu Suifeng had already chosen an old fat black rooster, although this one was not as good as the one just now, but its spirit and coat color were excellent, which attracted the praise of the beautiful young man.
"Master, I've convinced you! I'm here with these two top-grade ones, and I'll let you choose this morning. Your old eyesight is so poisonous! The shopkeeper saw that the fat black chicken was also picked off, and the half-truths started to complain.
Chu Suifeng laughed with the young man.
Chu Suifeng inadvertently glanced at the person, the other party's beautiful white face, with a playful smile on the side of the small mouth, and the sun shining in her clear eyes, as if she was a star.
For a while, I felt that my heart was beating suddenly, and I felt more and more that the person in front of me had bright eyes, and thought that if he was a woman, he must be a peerless beauty.
Could it be that this person in front of her is really a woman?
In the blink of an eye, he might as well take a few more looks, and the other party turned his head away to look at the scenery opposite.
Chu Suifeng knew that he was rude, and the old man blushed and asked the merchant.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this chicken cost?"
Who knew that the butcher was also stupid, and his two eyes fell directly on the beautiful boy and couldn't move away.
After several urgings, the other party responded in a daze.
"A penny of silver, love to buy it or not!"
Chu couldn't cry or laugh with the wind, took out a very small silver horn from his arms and threw it to the other party, and the man didn't look at it and put it away and continued to look at the young man.
Unexpectedly, the two fierce men behind the young man turned around with the thick arms of the tree, and the boss was so frightened that he honestly killed the black chicken.
When the black chicken was packed up and was about to leave, Chu Suifeng found that the young man in white had long since disappeared, full of doubts, and separated from the crowd with the lost him, and walked towards the other end of the market selling condiments.
Stomp, stomp!
There was a crisp sound of horses' hooves.
Several sturdy horses galloped from the direction of the city gate, and the riders in armor shouted with leather whips that were several feet long.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
The pedestrians and vendors around dodged when they saw it, and no one cared about the goods scattered on the ground, but just dodged themselves first.
From time to time, unlucky people were squeezed to the ground, and they were so frightened that they crawled to the side of the road.
In an instant, she hid cleanly, only a little girl who was squeezed to the ground, as if she had broken her foot and neck, and her frightened eyes covered the sore spot and trembled.
A few healthy horses crashed straight over without the slightest intention of stopping, and the passers-by next to them were so shocked that their mouths grew, and even Chu Suifeng heard many people say that this child is finished.
From the little girl's frightened black pupils, he saw several military horses that were getting bigger and bigger, and he was about to step on the little girl, Chu Suifeng turned sideways in front of the little girl.
"Look for death! There is no forgiveness for those who stand in the way! Immediately, several angry officers and soldiers did not hesitate to draw their sabers from their waists and raised them in the sun!
"Shen County's command of thousands of households is here with the wind!" Chu Suifeng, who was full of anger, immediately took out a brass waist card from his arms and raised it!
Wow! Several horses were violently led, and the riders on them dismounted and knelt on one knee in a military salute.
"Senho-sama! There is an emergency military situation under the subordinates! Please don't blame Qianhu! ”
Anyway, ignore Chu anymore, turn over the horse with the wind, and detour to beat the horse!
Bang Bang Bang!
The pedestrians and hawkers around couldn't help but applaud when they saw this, but the young man in white in the crowd looked complicated.
I saw that he turned around and didn't know what to say, and the two strong men behind him disappeared in an instant.
Chu Suifeng glanced at the rider's distant figure a few times, and knew that something had changed, and while pondering, he helped up the little girl who was crying and asked softly.
"Little girl, what's your name?"
The girl burst into tears, she was so frightened that she could barely speak, but now she was back to her senses and couldn't stop crying.
The child's parents also stumbled out of the crowd, the mother hugged her daughter and cried vigorously, and the father wanted to go over to see but was slapped in the face by the other party a few times, and the fight kept going.
Chu Suifeng saw that the child was in no danger, and the family came out again, so he turned around and limped away because it was not interesting to be here again......
Seeing this scene, the white-clothed young man in the crowd frowned slightly, and the book opened in his hand was snapped.
"It's a pity it's a cripple."
