Chapter 288: Hongmeng's Death (11)
Twelve remembers the way she watched herself eat, her caring and kind eyes, her rough hands.
She turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of Lujia Village.
Twelve followed the official road for dozens of miles, and there were no waves in this line, and what the old woman said was indeed right, it was much safer to take this road than the main road and the small road.
In front of it is the boundary monument of Changzhou County, and as far as the eye can see, it is indeed much behind the capital.
If nothing else, there were all the carriages of tall horses waiting to enter the city, and all kinds of peddlers and pawns were interspersed, selling their things to the nobles sitting in the carriages, maybe Yingluo, maybe shortbread, and errands.
There is also a young man at the gate of Changyang County who specializes in running errands for a living, he is wearing a gray skit, he looks very capable, and his clean and fair face has a trace of handsomeness that cannot be ignored.
At this time, he was holding a wooden board in his hand, and the price was clearly marked on it, one penny of silver within ten catties ran inside the city, two coins ran outside the city, and one car above ten catties was inside the city, and two taels were outside the city.
The young man had probably stood all morning without business, and even took a nap by his wooden sign.
Twelve thought for a moment and stepped forward.
"Huh! Running errands! Twelve called out to him.
He woke up like a dream, wiped the corners of his mouth without saliva with his eyes, looked at the thin little girl in front of him and grinned: "Hey, hey, does the girl send something?" ”
Twelve secretly laughed, took out a piece of silver from the money bag and put it in the palm of his hand: "I want to ask you about something." ”
The man saw that he had silver before he did anything, and his eyes were shining, and he pinched the silver and put his hands in his sleeve pockets, and said to Twelve with a hippie smile: "What does the girl want to inquire?" I'm here to be known for the bag inquiry! ”
"Do you know where Juxianzhuang is?" Twelve straight to the point.
The young man held his wooden sign and muttered to himself: "Sizzle-Juxianzhuang, Juxianzhuang, why does this name sound so familiar?" ”
Twelve saw him like this, thinking that he didn't know, so he opened his hand and put it in front of him: "If you don't know, return the money to me!" ”
When the young man heard this, there was still something he didn't know about this area? No way! He covered his sleeve pocket and said, "No, so be it, I'll take you to find someone who knows absolutely well, and you can come with me." ”
Twelve watched as the young man carried the wooden sign on his shoulder, and walked towards the city on his own, hesitating a little to follow or someone else to inquire.
The young man walked forward for a long time and saw no footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, the little girl was still standing in place, and he ran back and said, "Oh, let's go, it won't hurt you, you should know that I'm not a bad person by looking at my righteous and awe-inspiring face, right?" ”
Not necessarily. Twelve thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it.
It is not known whether this person is good or bad, but he swore that there were people who knew Juxianzhuang, and Twelve did not control his steps, and the ghost sent the gods to follow.
The young man kept talking to Twelve all the way, but most of the time he said and Twelve listened.
"This household sells the most baked cakes, and every time I miss half a baked cake, you must not go-"
"What I took you to find is the head snake of Changyang County, whoever sees him has to avoid three points, don't talk nonsense for a while!"
"Eh, by the way, my name is Li Jun, the eternal character, I don't know the girl's name?"
Twelve heard him report his name, and he was a little stunned in his heart, but he didn't expect such an inconspicuous errand boy to have such a Wen Zou name.
"Did your father give you this name?" Twelve walked all the way and asked the first question.
Hearing her ask, Li Jun's proud tail was about to rise to the sky, and his nostrils fluttered: "This is a good name from an immortal!" The word Jun takes the meaning of outstanding and excellent, how about it, the meaning is far-reaching, right? ”
Twelve looked at Li Jun's face with all the words written, come and envy me! Come and tout me! I couldn't help but feel funny, and I couldn't help laughing.
Li Jun looked at his smile but was dumbfounded, this little girl is thin and thin, and she really looks so good when she smiles?
Suddenly, Li Jun, who was bluffing, was silent, and Twelve looked at him, only to find that the other party was looking at him stupidly with a red face.
"Is the place here?" Twelve dozen forks.
Li Jun was a little surprised, how could he look at an unmarried girl who was distracted, in order to hide his embarrassment, he took two steps faster, pointed to a broken temple in front of him and said, "That's it!" ”
Looking at the ruined temple, Twelve couldn't help but have some doubts, could it be that he was really trafficked?
With this doubt, Twelve followed Li Jun all the way into the broken temple vigilantly.
As soon as she entered, she found beggars in ragged clothes lying under the altar of the ruined temple, some asleep, some holding a bowl to drink the water dripping from the eaves, and some lying on the ground on their backs and not knowing what to do.
Twelve, such a well-dressed woman, walked in, obviously a little abruptly.
Fortunately, the beggars didn't want to deal with Twelve, and some of them at most raised their heads to see if someone was coming.
"Huang Yaoshi, Huang Yaoshi!" Li Jun entered the broken temple and began to shout, many beggars were noisy by him, and they just got up and wanted to scold, but when they saw that it was Li Jun who was noisy, they stopped fighting, and only said two words in their mouths, as if they were afraid of conflict with him.
Twelve was puzzled by what he had observed.
At this moment, a bald old man wearing a red robe with colorful patches on it walked out of the backyard door, still holding a large gourd in his hand.
Huang Yaoshi squinted his eyes, took a sip of the big gourd, looked at Li Jun and said, "You stinky boy, you come to disturb your grandfather's dream in the daytime!" ”
Li Jun stepped forward with a smile, took out something wrapped in oiled paper from his arms and stuffed it into him: "Isn't there something to ask you for help." ”
Old Huang Yaoshi opened the oil paper, and there was a yellow and clear chicken leg lying inside, he squinted his eyes and laughed: "Hey, hey, you kid still know how to honor me!" ”
"That's, this is specially reserved for you, the left leg, the fat hen, I can't even bear to eat it for you!" Li Jun spared no effort to please the old man.
Huang Yaoshi couldn't wait to grab it and take a bite, and after chewing it, he took a sip of his own wine in the big gourd, and then breathed a long sigh of relief: "Ah, comfortable!" Say, what's the matter? When he said this, Huang Yaoshi was still eating chicken legs and drinking wine.
Li Jun saw that he was relieved, and immediately patted his ass: "Ouch, I'll just say that in addition to you Huang Yaoshi in Changyang County, who else has this kind of chivalrous heart, if you say help, you can help, it's really righteous!" If that's it, only you know! ”
