Chapter 139: Tong'an City
Maybe it's because someone takes care of him, and he can barely hold on to Siming who has been wandering on the road for many days, but since he was taken over by the woman, the illness on his body has been overwhelming, and he has a seizure.
The woman wanted to rush back to Tong'an City under the stars and return to her employer as soon as possible, but when she received Siming, he was already so sick that he was unconscious, and he had to find a nearby town to rest, let Siming recover first, and then make plans to go back.
The doctor in the town, who was not enthusiastic about the stranger who had come to seek medical treatment, took a slight care of the knife wound, left a packet of herbs to reduce fever, and went on his own.
After leaving someone to take care of Siming, the woman took the other men to the town to inquire about the situation, and it was a clean town, and because of the snow, there were no people from outside. In addition to Siming and his party, there was only a pair of brothers living in the inn, who came out to do some timber business.
On the third day, Siming's illness finally improved a little, and he could barely get up and eat something on his own, but his hands and feet were still weak, and it was not convenient to come and go.
Early in the morning, Siming was struggling to get up by himself and went to the table to have breakfast, when he happened to be met by the woman who entered the door. Xu is funny action of getting up, the woman did not come to help, but leaned against the door and laughed, and said, "I thought you could move around by yourself, so I sent people down, but I still looked funny." ”
This person saved Siming, Siming was still a little grateful, but when he saw her taunting herself, he took back the words he wanted to thank in his stomach, sat back on the bed, stretched out his hand to her, and waited for someone to help her.
The woman didn't care about the patient, she walked over and helped Siming to the table, and after sitting down, she also ate breakfast together, and asked while eating, "Why did you look like this on the road?" Hunted down by the enemy? ”
"I don't know." Even if he can think about Siming, he can't think of it at this time, who wants his life, maybe it's the Liang family, maybe it's the Ma family who is suspicious of him, or it may be the enemy he made at other times.
Seeing that Siming had no energy, the woman no longer embarrassed him with these words, ate dinner, and went out for a walk again. When he came back, it was already dusk, and he said to Siming a little eagerly, "We have to leave at night, someone is investigating the truth here." ”
Hearing that someone was coming again, Siming lowered his face and asked, "How many people did you bring here?" ”
"Even I have eight people, don't think about counting my people, these people are brothers who have been with me for many years." The woman was on guard and said quickly.
Siming suddenly coughed and said a little weakly, "I can't stand the bumps, so I can't ride a horse tonight." ”
"Don't pretend, I can't see the way you want to kill just now, I'm not invisible, I'll help you catch people when we get to Tong'an, don't risk the lives of your brothers now." As she spoke, the woman went to help Siming pack his luggage.
In Siming's old clothes, the woman saw a jade bracelet and was about to pack it together, but someone snatched it and put it in her arms again.
"Then you go by yourself, I'll stay here." Siming still didn't give up, and he relied on it a little, so he was bent on finding out the person who wanted his life that day.
Poof, the woman laughed and said, "You really think I can't do anything about you?" As he spoke, he beckoned people to come in, bullied Siming for recovering from a serious illness, and directly tied Siming out and put him in the carriage that had been prepared.
Seeing the anger in Siming's eyes, the woman suddenly became happy, lit the lamp in the inn, closed the window again, and told the men downstairs that her group would come back to live again, so she went out and got into the carriage and left together.
Siming in the car, still sulking, reclining in the carriage, with his back to the woman, did not speak, and pushed him without responding.
After coaxing a few times, it didn't get better, and the woman was also a little unhappy, so she put her head aside and said, "Why is your belly so small, it's not that I don't help you check, and when I go back, I will call more people to check, wouldn't it be faster." ”
"When you go back, the people have already run out, what else to check! The opportunity to send it to the door let you go. Siming said indignantly.
The woman still insisted on her judgment and said, "Then I can't risk my brother's life, who knows if there is some force on the other side that cannot be provoked." But not all the people in the rivers and lakes will sell us the face of the Hundred Beasts, some brothers are dead, and they don't even have revenge, and they can't get their bodies back. ”
"I'm sorry." Siming also felt that he was a little willful, and asked others to gamble with the lives of those close to him to help him.
The woman touched Siming's head and said, "I know you just walked away from the ghost gate and want to take revenge." But when is the time for retribution, people have to look away from the rivers and lakes. ”
But this is just a reversal of the scales, Siming only said in a somewhat soothing tone, and said loudly, "What do you know! What happened to you, you have your mother protecting you horizontally, and now you come to persuade me to be generous? I don't need your people, and you don't care about me. ”
The woman wanted to comfort him, but she was yelled at by him, and she felt uncomfortable, stretched out her foot and kicked Siming, and said, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people." I don't want to leave you alone, you don't know where to feed the wild dogs now, you are so backbone, next time you don't drink most of my pot of water in one go. ”
"When I go back, I'll give you back a tank." When he met this person, Siming was always a little angry, and he also said angrily.
"As for the clothes, you are still wearing the clothes I bought for you, you take them off for me, and I will exchange them for some silver and come back to buy wine and drink. You used to murder me about clothes, and then you should have known that you are a small-minded and white-eyed wolf. ”
The two of you said a word, and I said a word, and they quarreled in the carriage, and the men outside didn't dare to say anything when they heard it, so they had to brave the heavy snow to continue to hurry, this day was really cold enough.
The group hurried overnight, walked a long way along the road, only to see an inn, rested for a long time, and spent another day to arrive at Tong'an City.
Although Baidi City also produces rock tea, in front of Tong'an, it is really a small thing.
Tong'an City belongs to the famous big city, in the previous dynasty, it has been famous, famous, in addition to tea, but also famous for calligraphy, painting, porcelain.
Different from Baidi Castle, the geography of Tong'an City is high in the southwest and low in the northeast, an unnamed river from west to east crosses Tong'an Mountain outside Tong'an City, and an An River from north to south merges with the An River at the foot of Tong'an Mountain.
Not far from the Anhe, there is a cluster of houses built on the mountain, some large and some small, and each house is connected to each other, regardless of each other. And Siming and his party stopped in front of one of these many houses.
As soon as the carriage stopped, and before Siming could get out of the carriage, a thin monkey-like person greeted him on the side of the carriage and said, "Sister Lian, you are back." ”
It was not Sister Lian in his mouth who came down, but the indignant Siming, who snorted coldly and went to the house. Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Lian, who was dressed in red, came down and said to the man, "He is in a bad mood, you don't want to be like him, I will ask him to apologize to you another day." ”
Siming's cold eyes didn't make the man angry, after all, he was a passer-by who didn't know where he came from, Ouyang Lian's words made the man a little impatient, turned around and went back to the house, and followed Siming.
When he arrived in the hall, Siming changed his expression again, arched his hands, smiled, and respectfully said to the flower hall master who was sitting in the first place, "Thank you for saving your life." ”
Maybe it was because Siming also treated him politely last time, and the master of the flower hall didn't put up any shelves, so he hurriedly came and said, "I've been running around for a long time on the way here, I'm also a guest here, and I don't have anything to entertain you." With the light of the Long family, please go and freshen up and rest first, and when the head of the family comes back in the evening, I will take you to see him. ”
"There's a master of the Laohua Hall." After speaking, Siming followed the people down.
When Ouyang Lian, the woman in red, entered the hall, the hall master changed her kind appearance again, hugged her daughter and said, "Is this trip safe?" I didn't let you go, but you wanted to join in the fun, and I really couldn't lock you up anywhere. ”
"I've been here all the time, I'm getting moldy, and it's good to go out and move my muscles. Besides, you don't know him very well, so it's best for me to go, and I can't always eat rice at home and make my brothers laugh. The woman in red said with some coquettishness.
The master of the flower hall has always doted on his daughter, and if he blames, he refuses to say a word, and after a while, he turns the topic around Siming and says, "I see why he is a little lacking in energy, his face is yellow, and he is not as healthy as last time in Baidi City." ”
Ouyang Lian stayed out for a long time, and when she returned home, she was naturally happy, and when she said something else, she casually responded, and when she mentioned Siming, she came over and said, "He has an injury on his arm, and he has been driving in the snow for so long, and he can have the spirit he has now, and he is also strong, and he was even more weak two days ago." ”
"Fell?" The owner of the flower hall only thought that he was an ordinary businessman, and he didn't think much about it.
This made Ouyang Lian laugh, and said with a smile, "It may be easier to fall him, he has met an enemy, and when I went to pick him up, I still thought about going back to take revenge, so it was easy to persuade me to come back." Although Ouyang Lian's persuasion was to take advantage of the weakness of the person and tie the person back.
"Just what you say, a very kind person, where can there be so many enemies. This is to rob the road on a snowy day, doesn't it have to kill him? The master of the flower hall still didn't believe it, but it didn't seem to be fake, and called the man next to him and asked him to send more people to cook, and he didn't have to come to the hall to eat lunch together, just have a good rest in the house.
"That's not it, when I picked him up, I was only hanging on my breath, and I don't know who I remembered, I kept saying that I was dreaming, and he was still wearing a single clothes, and the one on him was still from the pawnshop cabinet in the town. Mother, I spent this money for the hall, you have to make up for me. After Ouyang Lian finished speaking, she came to pester her mother and ask for money again.
The hall master scratched his daughter's nose and said with a smile, "I know, you fell into the eyes of money, you love money so much, I really should let you be a foot merchant, follow our swords and swords, what do you want." ”
"This thing of seeing people talking about people and talking nonsense, then I can't do it, it's better to run to the rivers and lakes more freely."
