The early summer sun dappled down from the leaves of the privet tree. The refreshing breeze inadvertently contaminated with the floral fragrance of privet turned into a splendid woman with open arms, giggling, and rushing into your arms, making you feel a kind of trance in your heart.

Hua Qiao, dressed in men's clothes, is saying goodbye to Hua Youcai and his wife outside the house, although he is without makeup, but he shows the good color that youth can get. She was still carrying her rattan box, which contained the autopsy tools that her father had prepared for her, and she was wearing a black mesh hat like Hu Yanjin on her head, looking like a little scholar who went out to take the exam.

"Daddy, Auntie, my daughter will take care of herself, Peanut has been to Yangzhou, she must still know the road, it won't let her daughter get lost!" Hua Qiao smiled and patted Peanut's neck, and Peanut heard the little master call its name, and proudly straightened his chest.

"When you go out, don't be alone, don't be capricious, don't be ......"

"Oh, A-Niang, you've said it a hundred times, in short, you have to listen to your senior brother! I'm leaving! Hua Qiao stepped on the back of the peanut briskly, Hu Yanjin wanted to promise two more words, but when he saw that Hua Qiao had already ridden a horse on Fulu Street, he also hurriedly said goodbye to the master and the master and chased after him. Yi Chengjin stayed on Dingdang Street, and they went to Yangzhou, just in front of his hotel.

Yi Chengjin didn't wear an official uniform today, wearing a snow-blue troll, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with the same color moire, expensive but not luxurious, but it was eye-catching. He saw Hu Yanjin and the others, and greeted them with a smile: "If the morning is cool, if the horse is fast, rush to Gaoyou to rest at noon, there is a family that makes clear soup Wenwu duck, his lake duck meat is particularly tender, it is worth trying." ”

As soon as I heard that there was something delicious, the buckwheat clamped her legs, and the peanut ran up quickly, leaving the two men behind, and the two looked at each other and smiled: How hungry is this girl? It seems that if you talk about something delicious all the way, you will be able to arrive in Yangzhou in the afternoon.

Out of Baoying County, all the way to the pink flowers and green trees, the warbler singing birds, the three of them rode horses and whips, you chase me, in order to accommodate the buckwheat, Hu Yanjin and the two slowed down slightly, just right, there can be a chat without a sentence in the back.

"Brother Huyan, do you plan to stay in Yingtianfu forever?"

"It should be at the moment. I heard that the crown prince intends to move back to the southern capital, if this is the case, it may not be a bad thing to stay in Yingtian. ”

"Oh? That's just as well. If that's the case, this time I'm back to Suncheon, and I'll also apply for a transfer to Suncheon. ”

"Haha, that's a good idea. We'll be able to drink as often as we want! ”

"What? Only for the month? Are you afraid you won't be able to drink me under the sun? ”

"Haha...... Well? What about buckwheat? ”

Yi Chengjin looked forward, and before he knew it, they had arrived in Huailou Town. There was no one on the road outside the town on the right, and it seemed that Hua Qiao had taken the road on the left and entered the town. Alas, women are trouble, this time back in Beijing, the father-in-law has already said that he will find a woman in Beijing for himself, maybe, transferred to Yingtianfu, it is a good excuse to avoid this trouble.

Hu Yanjin also judged that Hua Qiao had entered the town, and hurriedly waved a whip, and the two chased in.

Although Huailou Town is not big, today is just a market day, and the street has become a market. Hu Yanjin saw at a glance the buckwheat that was standing at the corner of the street waving to them.

"Why did you come in, this is Huailou Town, do you think you've arrived in Gaoyou?"

Hua Qiao wrinkled her nose and said, "I don't know, it was Peanut who brought me in, I still thought, before lunchtime, why did Gaoyou arrive?" However, since we are here, it is so lively here, so let's take a stroll! ”

Hu Yanjin took the reins from her hand, turned back to Yi Chengjin and said, "It's okay, let the horse rest and rest, let's go shopping and then hurry." ”

Having deposited their horses, the three of them headed for the bazaar.

In the market of Huailou Town, most of the surrounding hunters and farmers take some mountain goods and medicinal materials to sell, and some hunters, in addition to furs, will also bring some live animals caught in sets.

A girl in a red dress in front of her was holding a snake and reasoning with others: "Just say, my snake was killed by you, how do you want to compensate?" ”

"You're just a non-venomous red-chain snake that sells snake meat? How much is it worth? A big man in gray looked at the snake with a gloomy expression. It's really strange, he was sitting on his own stool, who knew that a red and black red chain snake was coiled on his stool, his two hundred pounds of body went down, and the little snake died on the spot.

"Ahh What is a non-venomous red chain snake? Is it good for people to be back fangs? Besides, my snake has a name, called Xiaoqiang, which is my most beloved pet, and pets are family members, and your family is sold by the pound? No, you'll have to pay the price of your pet. The girl in red shouted. For a while, the people who were attracted to eat melon seeds surrounded the girl in red and the man in gray.

"Senior brother, second brother Yi, let's go over and see the excitement!" Hua Qiao dropped a sentence and squeezed to the front of the crowd three times and two times.

The gray-clothed man saw the crowd surrounding, and sweat began to break out on his forehead: Where did the little aunt and grandmother come from? Yes, if you lose, you will pay for it, don't spoil Lao Tzu's big thing. The decision has been made, and the gray-clothed man said with a drooping face: "You say, how do you want to compensate?" I have black snakes and pit vipers here, choose one of you, if you like, you can also call them Xiaoqiang. ”

In the area of Yangzhou Prefecture, most of them are non-venomous black snakes, cobra snakes, and red chain snakes, and only the short-tailed pit is highly poisonous, so it is also the most expensive. The big man in gray is ready to plan, and he will definitely be slaughtered by this little aunt and grandmother.

But the girl in red said, "You snakes are so ugly, I don't want them." I want that basket for you to put under your burden! ”

The people who were eating melon seeds next to them all discussed: "This girl is too greedy, one can be exchanged for three red snakes, and she needs other people's baskets ......."

When the gray-clothed man heard the basket, his face changed, and he finally knew that he was being targeted, and this girl was clearly settling accounts. Taking advantage of the commotion around him, he quietly took a step back and felt his hand under the stool.

Hu Yanjin touched it in his arms, there were no stones, only five playing cards. Yi Chengjin saw his movements and whispered, "Don't worry, let's see which one they are singing." ”

The woman in red stepped forward and pulled out the large bamboo basket he had pressed under the burden, and the burden collapsed, and the mountain herbs placed on it fell to the ground. The gray-clothed man had already pulled out a simple knife from under the cushion, slashed at the woman in red angrily, and scolded in his mouth: "Slut! Toast without eating and drinking, dare to open Lao Tzu's stall? Are you a soft persimmon? ”

It's too late, it's too fast, Hu Yanjin took off a playing card and cut it directly to the wrist of the gray-clothed man, the big man screamed in pain, and Pu Dao fell to the ground: "Who?" Which plotter? The big man scolded while holding his wrist.

Yi Chengjin stepped forward and lifted the felt cloth covering the bamboo basket, revealing a basket of oily and shiny animal skins. Everyone was looking in curiously, and the woman in red kept doing nothing, turning the bamboo basket upside down.

"Wow......"

"......"

Seven or eight beautiful hides, all poured out, were spread out on the ground in a gorgeous manner.
