The carriage was shaky, and Su Jinyao sat for a while before feeling hungry. After thinking about it, I realized that I hadn't eaten lunch again. But now that the horses were running, and there was no market to be seen except for the occasional passing village, she had no intention of buying something to eat.

Fortunately, she has eaten and drunk well recently, and Su Jinyao's body is much better now than when she just crossed over. The bones of the silly girl Yao'er have no flesh, and she is still soft and weak. And now Su Jinyao can not only endure starvation, but also be able to do some high-intensity actions. It is estimated that with a little more exercise, she will be able to return to her peak state as a killer in less than two years.

Because she was hungry, Su Jinyao could only close her eyes and recuperate to minimize the consumption of her body. But the carriage bumped for a while, and Su Jinyao's stomach "gurgled" and screamed very loudly.

Su Jinyao suddenly felt blushing, opened her eyes and looked, and saw that the two people sitting opposite were looking at her. Su Jinyao had to quickly close her eyes again and pretend that nothing happened.

The old man sitting diagonally opposite Su Jinyao thought for a while and said to Su Jinyao, "Little girl, are you hungry?" I'll give you a piece of red bean cake. ”

Su Jinyao opened her eyes again when she heard the sound, and saw that the old man opened the oiled paper bag he was carrying, and there were a few small snacks inside. The old man said: "This is for my little grandson and granddaughter in Datong Town." I weighed two pieces of each snack, and I couldn't give you more. However, the red bean cake was given when people made up the name, so I'll give it to you. ”

After speaking, the old man handed over the entire oil paper bag very sincerely, and said, "I'm afraid that you think my thin old hands are dirty, so you can take it yourself." Looking at your age, you are not a few years older than my granddaughter, so it is not easy to come out to beg for a living. ”

Su Jinyao felt very moved, after all, she made an unpleasant scene, and she felt awkward, but now it seems that kind-hearted people are really everywhere.

Su Jinyao said: "Thank you, I don't dislike it." He didn't refuse, reached out and took a piece of red bean cake and ate it. This is a piece of kindness from the other party, and it is so sincere, Su Jinyao feels that this red bean cake is really sweet and fragrant from the bottom of her heart.

When the old man saw Su Jinyao eat it, he smiled, and then wrapped those small snacks again.

The other hitchhiker was a young man, dressed in a long gown, and he looked quite clean, a bit of a scholar. When he saw Su Jinyao eating the old man's red bean cake, he pursed his lips and didn't know what he wanted to say. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, we were quite worried when we saw those two bullying you just now." But I'm a scholar, and I'm powerless, so it's hard to help. It's the little girl, you are neat, which makes people admire and admire. ”

Originally, Su Jinyao didn't want to take this matter to heart, and with the food that the old man gave him, Su Jinyao also felt warm.

But now, as soon as the young man spoke, he immediately felt sick for a while. If the old man didn't help, it was because he was old and didn't want to cause trouble. Now he gives himself a piece of red bean cake, which may also have a bit of a desire to make amends. After all, watching a little girl being bullied will not be too good if she is a person with a little conscience.

But when this young man said this, it was clear that he was cheap and behaved. If you don't stand up to help, no one blames you, but if you don't help, you still have to say that you have a sense of justice, but you don't have enough spare energy, Su Jinyao will definitely not be able to bear it.

Su Jinyao looked up at this so-called "scholar" and sneered: "I know, it's useless to be a scholar." But don't forget, you're a scholar, but you're also a man. But if you want to be a lewd man with a shrunken head, don't put gold on your face. You might as well admit that you're useless, not a man, and seem to be a real person. In fact, Su Jinyao almost didn't say that he wanted to be a "female watch" and set up a chastity archway.

When the scholar heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Little girl, what you said is really ugly, we are worried that you are still wrong?" Besides, aren't you not being bullied? Those two have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, you have neat hands and feet, and you didn't suffer anyway, but now you are here to compare with me, a scholar, what are you really doing? ”

This sentence made Su Jinyao angry, "Huh? Am I more serious? Just now you made a shrunken turtle, why are you worried about me? If it was those two women who won just now, I guess you would have said the same thing to them now. ”

"What I say, that's my business. I care about you kindly, but you don't know what to do. Hum. The scholar pursed his lips, looking like he treated Su Jinyao as a shrew.

Su Jinyao also snorted coldly and said, "Let you get in the car, you can sit honestly, but I can't blame you if you want to find fault." After speaking, Su Jinyao said to the second bolt: "Stop." ”

As soon as the second bolt heard Su Jinyao's call, he immediately stopped the car. However, he didn't dare to ask Su Jinyao what he was going to do, nor did he dare to ask when he was leaving. I could only pull the horse, honestly park the car, and dare not say a word.

Su Jinyao stood up, kicked the scholar's knee with her toes, and said, "Did I throw you out of the car, or did you jump out of the car yourself?" ”

"What? You're going to get me out of the car? When the scholar heard this, he was also anxious, and immediately stood up, and even raised his voice a few degrees.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's right, I said, this car is my bag, and I am willing to pull whoever I want to pull or not." Now I won't pull you, if you know each other, hurry up and jump down by yourself, I won't do anything to you. Otherwise, I'll break one of your legs and make you crawl back. ”

"What? You tough girl, you still want to hurt people! I, I'm really blind, and I'm still on a thief ship. I really didn't expect to meet such an unreasonable girl as you. The scholar pointed his hand and roared at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, dug out her ears with her hands, and then slowly pulled out the horn knife on her waist. threw the sharp knife into the air, played a knife flower and caught it again, and then said: "Since you said that I am a thief ship, there is a saying that 'thieves do not go empty', and now that the knife is also out of the sheath, you can watch it yourself." ”

"What? You, you're really a bandit. The scholar looked at Su Jinyao with a white face, and he didn't know whether he was scared or angry. But looking at his cowering appearance, it is likely that he is frightened.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going home." Su Jinyao looked impatient, and said viciously on purpose. In addition, although Su Jinyao is young, and her cold eyes are from a killer, not just anyone can pretend to be it.

And this scholar is not the kind of heartless shrew, of course, when she saw Su Jinyao like this, she was cowardly. hurriedly touched his body, took out a small money bag, handed it to Su Jinyao tremblingly, and then jumped off the carriage with an "ahhhhhhhhhhh It wasn't enough to jump, but he ran all the way with his head in his hands and ran into the grove on the side of the road.

At this moment, Su Jinyao was stunned, and then burst out laughing.

But when I turned around again, I saw that the old man who had just given him red bean cake also trembled and took out a money bag from his body, looked at Su Jinyao with sad eyes, and said in a low voice: "Little girl, I, I didn't have much money with me, I bought snacks and a few gadgets for my grandson and granddaughter, and there were only about 20 copper plates left." You, you take it. ”

Su Jinyao looked at the money bag handed over by the old man, didn't say anything, didn't reach out to take it, just said to the second bolt: "Let's go." ”

The second bolt was also scared enough, it was the first time he had seen this little girl play with a knife and play with flowers. I pulled her a few times before, and I thought that this little girl was good, and she was good-looking, and she had good eyes. But today I know that this is a little aunt and grandmother, and I know that this is a female bandit who dares to play with knives. So as soon as Su Jinyao opened his mouth, he immediately did so and drove the carriage fast.

It wasn't until the carriage ran out of the way that Su Jinyao put away the horn knife, looked at the money bag that the old man had been trembling over, stretched out his hand and pushed it back, and said, "Uncle, the piece of red bean cake you gave me just now can be worth a lot of copper plates." I'm not a bandit, and I'm not going to bully. My master taught me a little kung fu foundation, which is used for self-defense, not bullying. But that scholar was cheap and obedient, and his mouth was stinky and unforgiving, so I refused to pull him. As for the cruel things I said, I just wanted to scare him. But who knew he was so scared. The money was left by him of his own free will. ”

"I, my money was also left voluntarily. My wife is not in good health, my sons' family is not wealthy, and I am almost 50 years old and I have to beg for a living, which is really not easy. I beg you to be merciful, girl. The old man didn't dare to take back the money bag, but still begged.

Su Jinyao simply glared at her, and said fiercely: "If you want to keep it, I still need you dozens of copper plates?" Don't upset me and throw you out of the car when I turn around. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, the old man accepted the money bag. But sitting in the carriage is like sitting on pins and needles, and the whole person looks nervous.

Su Jinyao didn't bother to say any more comforting words, in order not to make this old man too nervous, she simply closed her eyes and recuperated. It wasn't until the carriage stopped in Datong Town that the old man got out of the car and ran away without a trace before giving it to the car, that Su Jinyao sighed.

"Boss, you're not serious, are you? I don't look like you're a bad person. The second bolt couldn't help but speak at this time.

Su Jinyao said "um", and then said: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, he will repay it tenfold. They were beaten and robbed, and they all had their hatefulness, and they could not complain against me. ”

"Yes, I understand. It is indeed not easy for the owner to beg for a living outside at a young age. After the second bolt finished speaking, he rushed to the car with peace of mind.

What happened today, although the second bolt was palpitating, but if you think about it carefully, there is indeed no fault with Su Jinyao. If there is no provocative and arrogant person, she will not hurt people first. Thinking of this, the second bolt was also relieved.

So many things came together, and by the time the carriage drove back to Dazhang Village, the sun had already set, and the afterglow was about to end.

Su Jinyao jumped down from the carriage, flipped the scholar's money bag, opened it and took out a piece of broken silver from it, at least more than five or six cents, and at least sixty wen when it was replaced with a copper plate, and handed it directly to the second bolt, and said, "I smashed your business today, this can be regarded as making up for you." ”

"No, no, the owner has never given a lot of money I should collect, and I can't ask for this silver. What's more, there is no me in this matter today, I should tell the guest that the owner chartered the car, when to go, when to stop have to be said by the owner, if someone is unwilling, just don't take the car. Don't you mind if I get you in trouble, it's already a lot of adults, and I really can't ask for this silver. ”

Hearing what the second bolt said, Su Jinyao smiled, put the silver on the car seat, and said, "Okay, these words to you are worth these rewards." If I want to charter a car in the city in the future, will you dare to pull me? ”

Hearing Su Jinyao's question, Erzhuo hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Yes." I can see that the proprietor is a reasonable person, and I have no reason why you are such a reasonable person not to do your business. So in the future, the owner will go to the city, if you don't dislike it, you can still charter my car. It's too late for me to thank you. ”

"Okay, so be it. I'm leaving. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she turned around and left, and there was nothing uncomfortable in her heart.

In fact, Su Jinyao now has a silver ticket in her pocket, and she has more than enough money to buy a horse and a car. The reason why she didn't do that was because she didn't want to be too ostentatious, and secondly, she felt that she still had a big use for the silver, and she had to use it where it was needed most.

Su Jinyao thought about it, anyway, now that she has money, if she wants to buy a car and a horse, she can buy it at any time when she really needs to go to the city or town every day. So now chartering a car is the most cost-effective way, and there is no need to feed the horses, nor do you need to set the car, and someone will drive the car, and she can take advantage of the road to rest for a while.

Behind him, there was the sound of wheels crushing the ground and horses' hooves, and the second bolt was also in a hurry to go home and turned around and left.

Su Jinyao walked back alone, and after walking for a while, it was dark. When she came to the mountain path, she subconsciously looked up, trying to find out if there was a garland hanging on it.

Although it was just a casual agreement with Gu Xuebin, she would not be afraid alone. But after all, there are people waiting here to take her home, and it is very different from her walking back alone.

But Su Jinyao looked around, and there was nothing special about the conspicuous places and the inconspicuous places. Not to mention the garlands, there is not even a single extra grass, the mountain wall is still bare, and those raised stones still look hideous and ugly.

Su Jinyao pursed her lips slightly and walked forward. Since it was getting late, and Gu Xuebin didn't leave the agreed mark, there was no need to waste time, she had to go home as soon as possible.

But after only walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Jinyao, are you looking for me?" ”

Su Jinyao turned around and saw Gu Xuebin holding several pieces of firewood in his hands, standing not far behind him. Her heart warmed inexplicably, and she nodded, "Yes." But I didn't see the mark, so I planned to go back. ”

Gu Xuebin walked over, handed over the firewood to his right hand, clamped it under his armpit, and took out his left hand to hold Su Jinyao's hand, and said, "I originally wanted to hang it, but I thought it would be more reassuring to wait for you here, so I didn't hang it." I was just looking for some firewood, and it turned out that you came back, which is really unfortunate. ”

"What are you looking for firewood? It's not heating. Su Jinyao looked at Gu Xuebin's face, and didn't see that his face was not good. I guess I'm not afraid of the cold. What's more, it's early summer now, and it's not late at night, so how can it be cold?

"Of course not." Gu Xuebin squeezed Su Jinyao's hand, and did not continue to answer, but asked, "Your hands are so cold, didn't you have lunch again?" ”

"What does cold hands have to do with eating?" Su Jinyao smiled and said, "I'm a doctor, and I haven't heard of such a statement." ”

"If you don't eat, you're hungry, and of course you don't have the energy or strength to walk. Walking is boring, of course, it will not speed up the blood circulation, and it will be cold hands and feet. Let's go, I know that you won't be obedient, so I've prepared some for you. After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he pulled Su Jinyao and walked back.

Su Jinyao was very obediently pulled by Gu Xuebin, and after half a circle with him behind the mountain, halfway up the hill along the low slope, he saw a small fire. There was also a horizontal shelf on the fire, on which several large taro were roasted.

"You've been waiting for me here with roasted taro?" Su Jinyao smelled the aroma of taro, then walked over and sat down next to the fire.

"Hmm. I always don't want you to wait for me, because I know it's not good to wait for someone. After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he also sat down next to Su Jinyao, added two more firewood to the fire, and said: "I have good ears, and I can hear the movement on the path over there when I sit here, so I won't miss your footsteps." If you're not sure, you can see you by hearing someone come and take a peek. ”

While speaking, Gu Xuebin took a taro with a branch, pressed it lightly with his hand, and made sure that it was ripe before taking it down and handing it to Su Jinyao. However, he was afraid that it would be too hot, so he also picked several large leaves for Su Jinyao to pad.

Su Jinyao held the taro in both hands, listening to Gu Xuebin's words, he really didn't know how many times he had waited for himself. But obviously she wants to say something, but Su Jinyao is not very good at being coquettish, and she doesn't know how to be hypocritical. I could only say "um", plucked the roasted taro scalp with my hand, and lowered my head to eat.

"Wait a minute, there's this." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he took a small bottle and handed it to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao opened it curiously and sniffed it, and it turned out to be a bottle of honey.

Gu Xuebin said: "There is no taste in eating taro alone, you pour honey on it and eat it." Then he dialed a taro and said, "You eat first, I'll peel off this skin and slowly blow it for you, so you don't have to wait when you eat it again." ”

"You...... What a bad guy. Su Jinyao couldn't help the stalk in her heart, and the probe was gently kissed on Gu Xuebin's thin white cheek.

Gu Xuebin froze, then turned his other cheek around, and said, "I want it here, and it's not in vain that I wait for you." ”
