Chapter 58: Report to the Officer

Su Jinyao didn't want to have too much to do with Chen Wuniu, but now seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on helping, she was very unhappy in her heart, and said, "Let go, I'll do it myself." He turned his wrist hard and shook off Chen Wuniu's hand that was holding him.

Chen Wuniu didn't pay attention for a while, and he didn't have time to let go when he was thrown by Su Jinyao, although he didn't stumble, but he knocked over Su Jinyao's basket with a wave of his arm. A basket of mushrooms is spilled halfway.

"Jin Yao, Brother Wu Niu didn't mean it." Chen Wuniu was also stunned. First, I didn't expect Su Jinyao to scold me, and secondly, I didn't expect Su Jinyao's hand to be so fast, and his hand was so skillful, and his arm was numb.

Su Jinyao was also stunned, she just subconsciously relied on the reflex nerve to make a move, which was practiced by the killer's instinct. Except for the small town and Sophie at home, she didn't take the rest of the people to heart. But as soon as he made a move just now, he knew that it was a dark strength, not to mention that Chen Wuniu was also kind enough to help him.

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's me who is too reckless." I'm just in a hurry. Brother Wu Niu, if you have something to do, just go, if we don't go by the way, I can go by myself. ”

When Chen Wuniu saw Su Jinyao apologize, he pondered in his heart that it was Jinyao's unintentional reaction just now, and a smile appeared on his face again. Squatted down to help Su Jinyao clean up the mushrooms on the ground, and said, "I don't have anything else to do, I originally wanted to go to your house to have a look." What's more, I know the way to the town, or let Brother Wu Niu send you there. ”

"No, no, really not." Su Jinyao hurriedly picked up the mushrooms, put them in the basket, and said, "My eldest sister has been at home for the past few days, you can go and have a look." Don't hide it from Brother Wu Niu, I had a quarrel with my eldest sister yesterday, and she may not feel comfortable at this time, you can help me persuade her. ”

The reason why Su Fei'er moved out was that Su Jinyao was also forced to do so. This can get rid of Chen Wuniu, and it can also make Chen Wuniu and Sophie talk more.

Chen Wuniu's hand holding the mushroom paused, looked up at Su Jinyao, and asked, "Did you quarrel with Fei'er?" ”

"Well, because of a little thing." Su Jinyao thought that Chen Wuniu was going to lose his temper and protect Sophie, and at the same time, he was ready to slip away immediately.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wuniu put the mushrooms in his hand into Su Jinyao's basket, stood up and said, "Why is Fei'er so ignorant." She's a sister after all, so she can't let you order? ”

"This ...... It's me who is wrong. Su Jinyao always felt that the signs were wrong. There were still some scattered mushrooms left on the ground, so he quickly lifted the basket and said, "Brother Wu Niu, I'm really leaving." If you want to go to my house, go quickly. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Wuniu to say anything more, and walked away quickly with the basket.

Walking far away, Su Jinyao could still feel Chen Wuniu watching her behind her. Seem...... Chen Wuniu's eyes and thoughts were quite strange. Anyway, this is something that Su Jinyao is unwilling to think about.

After walking a little further, I finally got out of the village, and I saw that I was about to enter the mountain, and I had to pass through the mountain col to reach Xiaozhang Village. The path sandwiched between this col is not difficult to walk, it is paved with loess, and it is also tamped, and it is usually able to run a donkey or horse-drawn cart.

Su Jinyao walked with two baskets, and after walking for a while, she realized that it was really inconvenient. I knew for a long time that I should come out with a flat shoulder, so that my hands could rest. Although the dried mushrooms are not heavy, it is not very pleasant to hold the basket with both hands.

But they are all out of the village, so they can't go back to get the flat shoulder now. I can only mention it now, feeling a little annoyed in my heart, feeling that I am still shallow, and I haven't thought of these details.

I don't know if Su Jinyao came out late, there was no one on this road. Su Jinyao was very clean and comfortable, so she was bored and looked around at the scenery in the col while walking.

Speaking of which, the scenery of this mountain road is still good, revealing a rustic and quiet, far more quiet and tranquil than the modern country road.

As she walked, Su Jinyao inadvertently looked up and saw a figure flashing by on a cliff in front of her. The fluttering hem and the handsome figure turned out to be a thousand clear?

It was no surprise that he met him in this place. Because this kid is probably wandering around all day long, from one mountain to the other mountain, it is as easy as a wild monkey.

I don't know if it's because of Su Jinyao's gaze, Cang Qianche felt it when he jumped over the cliff. When I turned around, I saw the silly girl on the path below walking with a basket in one hand.

The dirt road and the cliffs on both sides form an angle, but the thin, petite figure seems to be a little more curvy. But that stupid girl stood with her hands hanging down and carried the basket and looked around, why did she look so weird.

Unconsciously, Cang Qianche stopped, pursed his lips and thought about it, jumped down from between the cliffs and stone walls, and stood a few steps away with his arms crossed and looked at Su Jinyao.

"What are you looking at?" When Su Jinyao walked by, she glanced at Cang Qianche, and always felt that his eyes were provocative.

"It's funny to see you. Don't make a flat shoulder to bear, just carry it like this, aren't your hands and paws tired? After Cang Qianche finished speaking, he said "hehe" twice. Then he shrugged his shoulders and learned Su Jinyao's movement of walking with a basket in both hands.

Originally, Su Jinyao didn't walk like that, but to imitate Cang Qianche, it seems that she is a wild monkey, and she also learns the appearance of a human basket, which is very weird and interesting.

Su Jinyao couldn't help but laugh, then squatted down and put down the basket in her right hand, and went to pick up stones to smash Cang Qianche.

Unexpectedly, while imitating, Cang Qianche was already on guard against Su Jinyao. Seeing her pick up the stone, she quickly dodged away, and then jumped diagonally and jumped behind Su Jinyao. Raising his hand, he snatched the basket that Su Jinyao had put on the ground.

"Give me back, or I'll smash you." Su Jinyao held the stone and threatened.

"Cut, smash it, I don't know the hearts of good people." Cang Qianche said, holding the basket with one hand and untying the shirt on his body with the other.

Su Jinyao is not a shy ancient little girl, and when she saw Cang Qianche undressing, she just stared at it curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.

On the contrary, Cang Qianche was embarrassed, his face was flushed, and he glared at Su Jinyao and said, "Shameless, watch the man undress." ”

"You want to take it off yourself, I don't look at it in vain." Su Jinyao and Cang Qianche were arguing, and they were naturally without pressure.

Cang Qianche probably also felt that this was inappropriate, turned his body and turned his back, put the basket on the ground and took off his coat. Then he spread it on the ground, lifted the basket and poured all the mushrooms on top of his clothes.

Seeing Cang Qianche pour a basket of mushrooms into his clothes, Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while. Asked, "What are you ......?"

saw Cang Qianche glaring at Su Jinyao again, and then walked over and lifted the other basket in Su Jinyao's hand, still pouring it into the clothes he was spreading on the ground. Then he put his clothes up, tied them tightly at the four corners, made them into a burden, and pulled the two sleeves and said to Su Jinyao: "Stupid and stupid girl, come here, carry this burden on your back, wouldn't it be more convenient to put the two baskets together." ”

"That's fine." Su Jinyao smiled, and only then did she understand how smart Cang Qianche's approach was. Isn't it a very convenient burden to take this "baggage" and put it on your back, and put your sleeves on your shoulders and tie it in front of you. And the two baskets of mushrooms are dry, and they are not too heavy.

"Why not? It's that you don't have brains, you're too stupid. Cang Qianche hurt Su Jinyao again, but she had already put the two baskets together for her and handed them to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao took the basket and said sincerely, "Thank you." But your clothes ......"

"When you come back, wash it and dry it in the backyard, and I'll pick it up myself at night." Cang Qianche didn't think so, turned around, jumped onto the cliff, and prepared to leave.

Su Jinyao smiled, waved her hand and said, "Okay, thank you very much." ”

Seeing Cang Qianche jumping away from the cliff without looking back, Su Jinyao suddenly felt that looking at this kid's back was not so annoying now, and she didn't seem to feel like a wild monkey anymore.

When I was on the road again, I just carried the basket on one arm, which was a lot lighter. And Cangqianche's clothes are very clean, with a touch of bamboo fragrance.

Inexplicably, Su Jinyao's face was slightly red, and her ears were a little hot. But thinking about Cang Qianche, who was not as tall as herself, Su Jinyao's eyes narrowed and she almost slapped herself.

Concentrate on the road, and the speed will be much faster. Su Jinyao walked to Xiaozhang Village in one breath, and when she entered the village, she didn't need to ask, but she saw two carriages parked side by side on the side of the road.

Su Jinyao walked over and asked to see which car was going to Ning'an Town. One of the drivers told her, "My car is." ”

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then I want to sit back and forth, do I want to give the money now, or do I come back and give it again?" ”

"It's all right." After answering the answer, he looked Su Jinyao up and down again, and asked her, "Are you from Huanshan Village?" I've never seen you before? ”

"Yes." Su Jinyao nodded, sat in the car, and said, "In the past, I was young, and my family didn't let me go out. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao took out the eight pennies from her pocket and handed it over, saying, "Give the money first." I'm going to sell mushrooms, uncle, remember to wait for me for a while when you come back. ”

The driver took the money and said happily: "Hey, okay." But the little girl remembers, my carriage will stay in Ning'an Town for two hours, and I can wait for you at most a stick of incense. Besides, if it's late, don't you have to walk at night when you get off the bus and walk back, and it's not safe. ”

Su Jinyao replied: "Yes, I remember, it won't be too late." ”

The driver said, "However, if you really can't catch my car, you can see whether you can take another car back or stay there for the night." If you stay, I'll bring you back tomorrow when I get to Ning'an Town, and I won't take any more money. If you take another car, I'll refund you three cents when you turn around, and you'll take a one-way ride. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, feeling that this was quite fair, so she sat and waited for the drive.

It was a most ordinary carriage, without even a carport, and the boards on both sides were widened, and people sat on the boards. Sitting opposite each other, it was full of eight people.

At this time, there were already four people in the car, three women and one man. They are all honest croppers, and Su Jinyao doesn't mean to interrupt.

After waiting for a while, another man and a woman came, like husband and wife. The man carried two baskets, and the woman carried a small baggage. As soon as these two people got into the car, the two baskets were basically full.

The driver glanced at the two baskets and said nothing. The woman hurriedly said, "Uncle Wang, can I add three cents to these two baskets for you?" ”

"Okay, it's all from the same village, so I don't say so much." After the driver finished speaking, he picked up the whip and seemed to be ready to leave.

Think about it, a car originally pulled eight people, but now it is seven people and two baskets, and it is also full of boarding, and people are afraid that they will not be able to sit down.

With a whip sound, the horse pulling the cart snorted, stepped on its hooves, and walked with steps. At first, I walked, but gradually I was about to leave the village, and the speed became faster and faster, almost trotting.

But at this moment, a person ran on the village road, chasing the carriage, and shouted: "Uncle Wang, wait for me for a while, I am in a hurry to get to the town." ”

"Woo ......" Uncle Wang, who was driving the car, shouted, stretched out his hand and pulled the reins, the horse had just run, was pulled and neighed, and then stopped.

Only then did the chaser catch up, jump into the car, gasp for breath, sit down next to the man with the basket, and ask him to move the basket.

"Da Chen, what are you doing in such a panic?" The man with the basket asked as he moved the basket inside.

The man called Da Chen sighed and said, "What else can you do, collect the accounts." The Ping'an Restaurant is closing, and the accounts are being settled, so I have to go and see it quickly, and I still owe me a tael of silver. ”

"Ping An Restaurant? Is that the one that your family often delivers food? ”

Da Chen said: "Yes." I've just heard about it, so why don't you go over and have a look? If I'm really settling the accounts, I'll have to get the silver back. In our small family, one or two pieces of silver can catch up with the consumption of several months. ”

Uncle Wang, who was driving the car, heard this, and while driving the carriage away, he turned around and said, "If you knew this, you shouldn't have taken credit." That's a tael of silver. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Da Chen shook his head, with a look of annoyance, "The business of this Ping'an restaurant has always been good, and I think that it is easier to do business with such a restaurant than to stand in the market to buy vegetables, so I agree to take credit occasionally." Who knew that all of a sudden it was said that the door would be closed, and if I heard about it later, there would be no one when I arrived, so I would have beaten the chickens and eggs. ”

For a while, a few people in the carriage began to talk about each other. Some people said that they were afraid that the money would not be returned. I also have to say, if you really can't take something, it's better to use something to offset the account than not getting a penny back.

The horses pulling the cart trotted all the way, and the people in the cart chatted with each other without a word, but they didn't seem lonely. Su Jinyao is not a person who likes to talk, so she sat in the car and closed her eyes and took a nap.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped and everyone got off that Su Jinyao got off with the empty basket. Then he asked the driver of the car: "Uncle Wang, where is the market going?" ”

"Go two blocks to the east, and then turn south. Little girl, my carriage stops here, and you remember that I will be back in two hours. Uncle Wang, who was driving the car, pointed out the way to Su Jinyao, and then squatted next to the carriage and smoked a dry cigarette.

Su Jinyao thanked her and walked towards the market. However, she never poured out the mushrooms, but carried the empty basket and carried the mushrooms behind her back. First, it is convenient to walk like this, and secondly, she didn't really come to sell mushrooms, but wanted to see what kind of money she could make in Ning'an Town.

As she walked, Su Jinyao felt hungry. When I looked around, I saw a stall selling steamed buns and steamed buns on the side of the road.

Su Jinyao walked over and asked, "Eldest sister, how do you sell this bun?" ”

"One for vegetarian stuffing, one for five dollars for meat stuffing. However, there is no pure meat, it is filled with cabbage and meat. ”

"Then bring me a vegetarian stuffing." Su Jinyao is not particularly gluttonous, and looking at the bun is quite big, she feels that it is almost enough to pad her stomach first.

The eldest sister who sold steamed buns agreed, took half a lotus leaf and wrapped a bun and handed it to Su Jinyao. Seeing that Su Jinyao was a teenage girl, she said, "Sit aside and eat, there is still hot water over there, you can pour a bowl yourself." ”

"Thank you then." Su Jinyao saw that there were a few small benches next to the bun stall, which should be prepared by customers who often want to eat before leaving. There was also a large kettle next to it, with a stack of bowls.

Su Jinyao thought about it, and although she had a bamboo tube of water with her, she still lifted the kettle and poured half a bowl of water. She didn't want the eldest sister who sold steamed buns to think that she was disgusted, after all, people were really kind.

Holding a bowl and eating steamed buns, Su Jinyao asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Eldest sister, what's new in Ning'an Town lately?" ”

"In such a small town, what else can there be new? The biggest thing is that Ping An Restaurant is closing. I heard that there have been a lot of accounts in the past few days, and the account office of the restaurant has run away with the money, and the old shopkeeper has sold things in the store with illness to pay off the debts. While greeting the guests, the eldest sister sighed to Su Jinyao: "Alas, this Ping'an restaurant has been open for more than 20 years. The old shopkeeper is very good, and the business has been good. But when the old shopkeeper was ill, his son was not angry, and found a bookkeeper who could speak well to manage the store, and he himself was a shopkeeper. As a result, the account room is not a good thing, and it will be calculated on the day it was called. Didn't you just collect other people's rice, vegetables, and meat on credit, and then rolled up the silver and ran away. ”

Su Jinyao asked, "Then didn't you report to the official?" It's not a trivial matter to run away with this roll of silver. ”
