Chapter Seventy-Seven: Herbal Tea
The bamboo has no heart, and there are many branches on the outside; Although the lotus root has a knack, it is not stained with mud and dust
============================
Janeway's face turned cold, and she pulled out her hand.
"Wan Yanliang, can you not count others in your own plans." She shouted, boredom and anger in place of a clear mind, not everyone is as smart as you, but not everyone is as stupid as you think. ”
She said that, turned the horse's head and wanted to leave, but Wan Yanliang buckled the reins.
She glared at him vigorously and threw the reins into his hand: "This dead horse is yours, give it back to you!" ”
Jian Wei gritted her teeth and jumped off the horse, such a high distance, the shoes did not absorb shock, she rolled half a circle, the soles of her feet still had a faint pain, she got up in the grass in embarrassment, turned around, stretched her neck as much as possible and shouted to the man who was still stunned on horseback: "From today on, you take your single-plank bridge, and I take my stone road." We don't owe each other, and the money we didn't give should be used as a tip for you, goodbye! Oh no, it's never!! ”
With that, she vigorously brushed away the grass and walked towards the official road.
Wan Yanliang's laughter suddenly sounded behind him, he didn't know what he was crazy about suddenly, as if he hadn't laughed like this for a long, long time. Jian Wei was unmoved, and scolded in a low voice: "Neurotic." ”
This "neurotic" seemed to hear Tai's muttering, and immediately said, "But the shoes and clothes on your body are also mine." ”
When Janeway heard this, she was even more angry, and immediately sat down and began to take off her boots, she pulled one out with all her might, and Lun rounded her arm and skimmed it over: "Give it back to you, miser!" ”
"There's another one." He tilted his head and ducked, pointing at her other foot.
Janeway immediately began to take off the other one, and halfway through it, she came back to her senses, almost becoming angry with this neurosis. She stood up confidently: "These are the work clothes I got through my hard work, I earned them myself, why should I give them to you." ”
"Don't talk to me." She stretched out a hand, as if she could block Wan Yanliang from disappearing in the distance, "I don't want to say more than half a word to a man like you." Folding longevity. ”
She withdrew her hand, straightened the placket, and swaggered away with half a boot on.
It's easy to be cool, but it's hard to pretend to be cool for a long time. The ultraviolet rays of the sun in the north are very strong, and they often hurt the skin and flesh, and Janeway only walked for a few minutes, but she felt that her face was spicy, she hurriedly covered her sleeves to her face, and took a few steps to the thick shade.
Wan Yanliang rode a horse and led another horse and slowly followed behind her.
Jian Wei walked another distance, and a simple tea shed appeared in front of her, although her feet were wearing socks, but there was some unbearable pain, so she moved over and chose a seat to sit down. "Water." She was reluctant to say a word, so she fanned her neck vigorously with one hand.
The little second saw Wan Yan Liang who was following from afar: "The two guest officers are together." ”
She was still angry: "Whoever is with him, he is a pervert." ”
The guests at the two tables looked sideways, and she coughed uncomfortably, as if she didn't see it. Wan Yanliang was unconscious, still maintaining his speed and coming slowly.
The little second was clever, and when he saw that he was leading two horses, he thought that the two brothers had made an awkward quarrel, so he led him to the table in front of Janeway, and he sat down noncommittally, and Janeway immediately turned his face away.
Wan Yanliang felt funny and glanced at her: "Xiao Er, take some herbal tea." Give this girl some too. ”
It turned out to be a girl. Xiao Er suddenly realized, and involuntarily looked at her sock-wearing foot.
Jian Wei hated his mouth: "My son is rich, I don't need you to invite him." She turned her head to look at Xiao Er: "What do you see, haven't you seen the latest boots?" Wonder is the daughter of ignorance. ”
Xiao Er quickly dusted the towel on the table: "Hehe, the guest officer really likes to laugh." Then, Ma Li turned around and took out the herbal tea, I don't know what was added to it, sour, sweet and cold, Jane Wei really had never drunk such a taste, a bowl down, felt not happy, shouted: "Another bowl." ”
Xiao Er brought up the second bowl, but there was only half a bowl: "Guest officer, it's hot and heavy, you take it easy first, there are still more small shops." ”
Her heart warmed, this is really good at business, so she smiled and took it. Fang laughed here, and Yan Liang threw a silver ingot over there: "Reward you." ”
Jane Wei's eyes didn't have the same anger as she had just seen.
She snorted and was about to get up, when she suddenly heard the two people next to her talking something in Cantonese, their voices were very small, and they spoke very urgently, and after listening for a long time, they only heard words such as Qin Hui and Zhu Xianzhen. Jane Wei didn't have much interest, and after listening for a while, she gave up, and before she finished drinking half a bowl of cold water, a few more passing merchants passed by, they were panting while fanning the big hat in their hands, and the first one beckoned the shopkeeper to send some cold water quickly.
At this moment, there were so many people suddenly, the corners of Xiao Er's mouth smiled, he stuffed the silver into his sleeves, threw off the towel and prepared to greet those people.
Wan Yanliang suddenly called the store: "There are many people and miscellaneous tastes, all this silver is for you, I will cover this small shop." ”
The shopkeeper looked at him in embarrassment: "This son, a small shop is a small business, and it is for convenience, so ...... Otherwise, I'll give you half a space to dedicate to yourself...... How about you and this boy drinking alone? He had just received a piece of silver, so he naturally didn't want to offend the God of Wealth, but he has always valued harmony in business, and he didn't want to hurt his temperament because of it, and it wasn't a short-term business for a few days.
Wan Yan Liang silently added another ingot.
A spark flashed in Xiao Er's eyes, but he struggled to suppress his desire to reach out, he has been open for more than 20 years, and he has naturally seen a lot of people. He was worried that he would be directly chopped by someone else with a knife before he could say it, and such a thing was not unprecedented.
Wan Yanliang swept the angry gazes of those people from the corner of his eyes, glanced at Xiao Er lightly, and signaled him to hurry up.
A man with a short beard seemed to be insulted and was about to slap the table, and another older man slapped him twice on the shoulder, and he sat down.
Jian Wei couldn't look at it, so that with a little silver, she could do whatever she wanted, she stood up suddenly: "A few big brothers, I have a place here, come and sit." ”
When the men saw that it was such a delicate young man, they all replied with a smile, and the first one arched his hand at him: "Thank you, little brother." ”
Wan Yanliang frowned and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around." ”
She wrinkled her nose at him, and immediately smiled and beckoned a few people to sit down, the little two carefully glanced at Yan Liang, and saw that although he was displeased, he did not have a seizure, so he breathed a sigh of relief and served tea to a few people.
These people sat down and said a few polite words, the man with a short beard was surnamed Zhang, the third in line, he saw that Jian Wei only had one shoe, and couldn't help but wonder: "Little brother, where are your shoes." ”
Janeway laughed evilly: "I ran away when I was chased by a wolf." ”
The rest of the people exclaimed: "Chased by wolves? Janeway bragged about it.
Only the old man was silent, smiling and looking at Yan Liang.
After a few people rested for half an hour, and after drinking a cup of tea, the old man whispered in Hokkien: "The time has come." ”
Janeway was close and naturally understood, and she continued to drink the tea quietly.
The old man shouted to Xiao Er to collect the tea money, and even called a few times, but Xiao Er was nowhere to be seen, and his face changed immediately: "There is an ambush." ”
said that it was too late, and the tea drinkers around him who were originally careless changed their expressions in an instant, and the porter who walked around the alleys took out a short knife at his own expense, and the old farmer showed a double sword, it turned out that these people were all made up.
Jian Wei hurriedly looked at Wan Yan Liang, only he suddenly became kind, he was still sitting in his position drinking tea, Jian Wei was about to run over, the old man grabbed her shoulder: "Where to run?" ”
He exerted only a slight effort, but her shoulder ached like a steel needle.
The sun of the white flower became bright and swaying in front of her eyes, and she gradually changed flowers in front of her, and in the final image, the little two was dragged out with his head in his hands, he knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy and kowtowing, and a person with a long knife in his hand walked over slowly, the voice became more and more blurred in her ears, and she struggled with all her strength to squeeze out three words: "Don't kill ......" and fainted.
When she woke up again, it was already dusk, and she was locked in a small wooden hut, and her head was groggy and aching because of the effect of the medicine.
What's going on? She tried to think back to everything before she fainted, not dreaming, horseback riding, boots, inn, little two, long knife......
It's hard to make all this coherent, and when she finishes looking around, there is only herself, no one else.
What's going on? She slowly sat up from the ground and slowly walked to the window of the wooden house, and looked up from there, only half of the dark yellow sky could be seen.
She was completely confused.
Soon night came, although it was summer, but at night, the cool air was still slowly rising from the ground, there was nothing in the cabin, she walked around twice, and did not find anything suitable for paving, there was still only one boot on her foot, she tilted her head and thought about it, and took advantage of the last afterglow of the sun, found a position in the house near the east, took off the other boot and rested on the ground, and sat cross-legged.
Since it was locked up, not killed directly, then she definitely wouldn't let herself die so silently, she needed to reserve her strength and wait for the arrival of the person who captured her.
As the long night came, she rested her face on her knees, her eyes shining through the rough doorframe to see the starry sky.
I don't know, how is Wan Yanliang.
