Chapter 99

But these guests eat roast duck just like eating roast chicken, they all tear the roast duck open and feast on it. The mouth is full of oil, but I am full of praise.

Su Jinyao observed for a while and guessed that this roast duck should be the signature of this cyclamen residence. However, the way of eating is not authentic, or the custom is like this, so the guests eat like this.

Su Jinyao raised her hand and beckoned, calling the guy from before. He asked, "Is this cyclamen roast duck a signature dish?" ”

"Yo, the girl doesn't look like a foreigner, why doesn't she know that we live in cyclamen. The roast duck in the cyclamen house is an ancestral craft of the big owner, and it is the fourth generation of our owner's generation. This roast duck is hand-batched, pickled, and roasted by the big proprietor, so there are a number of them sold every day, and they are gone when they are late. Even if the rich armor and eunuchs in the capital want to eat authentic roast duck, they have to come to our cyclamen residence, and there is no other semicolon. ”

After listening, Su Jinyao's mind flashed, and she roughly understood the relationship between the man in the Red Sleeve Workshop and this cyclamen dwelling. Su Jinyao asked again: "Then the red sleeve shop on the north two streets is also the property of your big boss?" ”

"yes. Who in Anji City doesn't know about our Zhao Dadong family. The Red Sleeve Workshop and the Cyclamen House are famous far and wide, even when they go to the capital, they have such a number. ”

I see. In this way, the man makes the secret recipe of roast duck every day, and in order to preserve the secret recipe, he has to do it himself, so it is no wonder that he has such a strong roast duck smell on his body.

Su Jinyao said: "How did you sell the roast duck?" Now I'm going to buy one, do I still have one? ”

"Our roast ducks are all batches of ducks personally selected by the big owner, and the amount of roasted ducks is about the same. Therefore they were sold by the only one, and each of them was seven pieces of silver. But this is still the price you eat here, if you want to buy roast duck to take away, it will be eight dollars a silver. However, today, girl, you are late, our roast duck has been booked from the morning, and now the roast duck in both ovens has been sold out. There is also a stove ordered by a customer, and we can't sell it to you without taking the initiative. ”

Hearing this price, Su Jinyao didn't plan to buy it. It's not that she hasn't eaten roast duck, so she can't afford to spend eight dollars to buy such a duck that is not well roasted.

However, Su Jinyao looked at the roast duck eating at the next table of guests, and already had another plan in her heart.

Since she didn't plan to buy roast duck, Su Jinyao didn't want to stay any longer. Anyway, she has already seen what she should see, and she has figured out what she should have pondered. Su Jinyao thanked the guy and got up to leave.

When Su Jinyao had just walked out of the gate of the cyclamen residence, she happened to meet the middle-aged man in gray again. That is, the big boss behind the cyclamen house and the red sleeve workshop, Zhao Dadong's family.

Zhao Dadong's family seems to have a little impression of Su Jinyao, and maybe it is strange how he met this little girl here again. But before he could take a look, Su Jinyao had already turned around and left.

After sitting in the cyclamen for a while, the time agreed with the second bolt who was driving the car was about the same. Su Jinyao walked so far again, and she had to speed up her pace to catch up.

When she returned to the place she had agreed with Erzhuo, she saw that Erzhuo was already waiting for her, and there were three people in the carriage, which should be the guests that Erzhuo was going to take back.

Su Jinyao didn't say much, after all, this was what she had promised before, but she just smiled at the second bolt and asked, "Can you go back?" ”

"Girl, I was about to tell you that these three guests were going to Datong Town, so I took them along the way. There was also a guest who came directly to Dazhang Village. But I'll go back to pick up my luggage after I've just said it's decided, can you wait for him for a while? Okay, wait for him in less than half an hour. It's been a while now, and I'm probably coming back soon. ”

The second bolt said that it was quite embarrassing, and it seemed very embarrassing.

Su Jinyao thought about it, after all, it hadn't reached the three hours agreed before. Just wait a while, she's not such a bad talker. He nodded, agreeing.

The second bolt was very happy and thanked him vigorously. Then he said to the three guests next to him: "I'm sorry, wait a while, there will be one person missing." ”

Waiting for others' efforts, Su Jinyao took out the sugar bag and ate it, and drank a few sips of water. That's a cushion for the belly.

But she didn't wait too long, and Su Jinyao had just finished eating the sugar bun for a while, when she saw a man of five big and three thick running over with a big duffel bag on his back. When he came to the car, he said, "Everyone, move in, I have a big burden, borrow a place." ”

The duffel bag this man is carrying is indeed not small. Originally, he was tall, with big shoulders and round waists, like a cow. As soon as his baggage was put on the cart, the carriage, which had been quite loose, was taken up a large area. The man got into the carriage again, and one person could occupy the space of two people, and the carriage seemed cramped.

The three people who got on the bus before were estimated to know each other, and when they saw such a man coming, they moved to the side, and the result was that there were three people sitting opposite, and this burly man was sitting next to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao is not such a misfit person, not to mention that the ordinary life during this period of time has made her gradually adapt to all kinds of mundane and trivial things, and she will not feel uncomfortable with multiple people around.

But as soon as this man sat down, Su Jinyao frowned slightly and sniffed. It's not that this man stinks, but that Su Jinyao also smells a trace of blood from him.

Almost instantly, Su Jinyao concluded that this person was not simple, at least not as brutal as his appearance, there should be some people in the past, or blood on his hands.

Su Jinyao's habit as a killer is not to look at a person directly, especially when this person is more suspicious, she is more careful not to arouse the suspicion of the other party, but will quietly look at it from the corner of her eye.

As a result, when Su Jinyao looked sideways a little, she found that this man was looking down to sort out the big luggage, and at the same time, he was also quietly looking at several other people in the car with the corner of his eye.

However, because Su Jinyao was the most inconspicuous, that is, a teenage girl, the man first looked at the three people sitting opposite. It was precisely because of this that Su Jinyao did not make eye contact with this man.

Su Jinyao suddenly retracted her gaze, sat down and asked, "Can you leave now?" ”

"Alright, let's go right away." The second bolt is an honest and responsible driver. There was nothing special about it, except that the last guest was too burly.

But Su Jinyao already knew in her heart that this man and herself were definitely all the way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at others so cautiously. Su Jinyao was secretly vigilant, but on the surface it seemed very casual, and even after the carriage ran for a while, Su Jinyao still held her arms and drooped her head, as if she was asleep.

But Su Jinyao didn't really fall asleep, but she knew that the higher the alertness of the other party, the more she couldn't observe with her eyes, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party. Therefore, when Su Jinyao closed her eyes, her sense of hearing, feeling, and smell would be strengthened, and she would pay more attention to the man's movements, and he would not be easily noticed.

But it was very strange that when they arrived in Datong Town, the three people on the opposite side paid the car and got off, and the burly man sitting next to Su Jinyao did not move. If you want to say his biggest move, that is, after several people on the opposite side got out of the car, he moved lightly to the opposite side. And he moved so lightly, as if he was taking care of Su Jinyao sleeping, obviously not wanting to disturb.

Su Jinyao still had her eyes closed, but she was already very strange. But the vigilance in my heart has never been less.

In this way, he was on guard and on guard, and the carriage ran back to Dazhang Village, and the tall and burly man did not behave unusually.

I heard the second bolt who drove the car shout: "It's here, girl, wake up." ”

Su Jinyao opened her eyes at this time, pretending to have just woken up and rubbing her eyes, "It's already here?" I was so tired that I fell asleep. ”

And the man on the other side also laughed and said, "Yes, I slept so soundly." I'm worried that you'll fall again as the carriage sways, but no. After saying that, the burly man got out of the car with his baggage, gave the second bolt the money, and left on his own.

Su Jinyao was stunned, and there was a burst of doubt in her heart. But he smiled again, and couldn't help but laugh, thinking that he had committed an occupational disease again, and he was even nervous all the way. You know, when a killer doesn't have to perform a mission, it's no different from an ordinary person.

And the better the killer, the more he will hide himself. The burly man must have just been passing through, and it was normal that there was no ill will for ordinary people like them.

After all, the real killer is not the kind of cold-blooded animal that kills people when they see them and doesn't leave them alive as described in novels or TV.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao really breathed a sigh of relief, jumped out of the carriage, and prepared to go back.

Su Jinyao was about to leave, but the second bolt who was driving the car called her behind her and said, "Little girl, don't go yet." I'll give you five more copper plates. As I said before, pulling the guests is not your own charter, and I can't make all the money from me. ”

After speaking, the second bolt handed over the five copper plates towards Su Jinyao. It can be seen that he is still quite sincere, and he doesn't have any reluctant thoughts.

Su Jinyao looked at the copper plate, didn't take it, but said, "Forget the money." I'd like to ask, is it okay to charter your car to the city the day after tomorrow? If it's okay, you won't pull other guests the day after tomorrow, just wait for me. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say that she would also charter a car, the second bolt nodded. After all, Su Jinyao is very talkative, and she is also generous. In addition, there are not many people who usually go to Datong Town, so occasionally one day his car does not pull individual passengers, and those guests just wait one more day before going, and the source of customers has no impact.

After decided, Su Jinyao walked back. Today, she didn't pull a small cart or hold anything, so she walked briskly.

It's just that I ran to the city like this, after all, the road is still a lot farther, and the time is a little later than the last time I went to Ning'an Town. So when Su Jinyao walked on the path into the mountain, it was dark.

Su Jinyao walked as fast as she could, on the one hand, she practiced her leg strength and body bones, and on the other hand, she also wanted to go home early.

After all, nothing is as comfortable as at home. How comfortable it is to go home for a hot meal, take a hot bath, and get a good night's sleep.

The road is still the same road, and it looks dark when it's late, and the mountain wind "rustles" when it blows, which still sounds very uncomfortable.

Su Jinyao unconsciously looked up at it, and faintly expected to see which tree Gu Xuebin jumped from. Even if he doesn't have to carry himself home this time, even if he has a companion on the road, it's good.

Just thinking about it, there was a turn ahead. As soon as Su Jinyao turned around, she heard movement overhead. But her intuition told her that it was not Gu Xuebin's footsteps, because the person who came was very heavy and had a bad breath.

Su Jinyao tried her best to hold back the mood of drawing the knife and turning around, and couldn't bear to make any moves, pretending to be an ordinary little girl. This is to confuse the other party, but also to not expose yourself.

Then, I heard someone behind me shouting: "Su girl." ”

This voice is a little familiar, I should have heard it somewhere, but Su Jinyao didn't think about it for a while. However, from the sound of this person's voice calling himself, the other party kept a certain distance from him, and he deliberately lowered his voice and slowed down the tone to make his voice sound calm.

Su Jinyao knew that this person had no ill will towards her, and she didn't want to be afraid when she called herself behind her.

Su Jinyao pretended to be startled, turned around, and saw a tall figure standing more than a dozen steps behind her.

The man deliberately stood where the moonlight could shine, and when he saw Su Jinyao turn around, he said again: "Su family girl, don't be afraid, I am the old man who lives in the mountain col, and we met when you and your brother came." ”

When Su Jinyao looked back and saw the other party, she already remembered that he was Daddy Gao, and now when she heard him say this, she nodded and said, "I remember." Are you looking for something with me? ”

Su Jinyao can be sure that the other party came here so late not to meet her by chance. Then there must be something wrong.

Daddy Gao was stunned, he didn't expect this little girl to see her mind so directly. But when I thought about it again, I remembered that the first time I saw her, I was already sure that this little girl was not simple. So it's normal for her to be able to guess that she is coming.

Thinking of this, Father Gao took a few steps forward and came to Su Jinyao's face. Sure enough, I saw that the little girl looked at herself with clear eyes, and she didn't mean to be really afraid. Only then did I know that the scream I was screaming behind her just now may not have really scared her.

Father Gao smiled, and no longer deliberately flattened his voice, but said directly: "I just want to ask, did your mother leave you any medicine, or what medical book?" ”

"What medicine? What medical book? Su Jinyao was confused, and she didn't know how Daddy Gao suddenly asked such a question.

Father Gao said: "I heard that you will be able to write after you are not stupid, and said that this was taught by your mother at the beginning." I wondered, did your mother leave you something when she died? If so...... Please take it out and save Xuebin's life, I will find a way to find a way to save how much it costs. ”

"Gu Xuebin, what's wrong with him?" Su Jinyao panicked inexplicably, and then understood why Gu Xuebin missed the appointment, it turned out that something had happened.

Seeing Su Jinyao asking, Father Gao still looked more embarrassed. But after thinking about it, he seemed to have made up his mind, and then said: "Xuebin, his old illness has relapsed." There is still some medicine left from your mother's prescription before, and it can be maintained after occasional recurrence. But this time he had a seizure, and I realized that all the medicine left before was gone. I just wanted to ask if you have any medicine. ”

Looking at Su Jinyao, Father Gao said again: "Forget it, looking at you like this, you know that your mother may not have left you anything, after all, when your mother went, you were not so old, and you were still ...... That's what it looks like. ”

After speaking, Daddy Gao turned around and was about to leave with a disappointed and helpless face.

Su Jinyao stepped forward and grabbed him, and said hurriedly: "Can you take me to see what his old illness is?" I don't have any medicine right now, but maybe I can figure it out? ”

"Really?" Daddy Gao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at the sky and said, "But it's so late, I'll take you to the mountain col, your family will be worried if they know it." ”

"Then don't let them know. Let's go, and before it's too late, go check it out. After reading it, I went home and asked my dad if there was anything left when my mother died. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took a step forward in the direction of the mountain pass.

However, you have to walk around the mountain from this road to the mountain pass, or you have to jump up the mountain wall like Gu Xuebin did, and then go back directly.

Su Jinyao can climb rocks, but she doesn't want to show herself in front of Daddy Gao, so she takes the road around the mountain.

Father Gao hurriedly chased after him, and after walking behind Su Jinyao for a while, he asked with some embarrassment: "Su girl, can I carry you on my back?" If you go like this, I'm afraid you will have to walk for a while to get there. ”

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and wanted to agree, but in front of her eyes, she suddenly remembered the back of Gu Xuebin's head and shoulders when he carried him. That memory was something she didn't want to be touched by another feeling, so after thinking about it, she shook her head.

Seeing that Su Jinyao didn't agree to carry her, Daddy Gao was embarrassed. Then he said: "Su family girl, I am Xuebin's uncle, and I am about the same age as your father." I won't have evil thoughts about you, I'm really anxious, after all, Xuebin is still alone at home now. ”

Su Jinyao also knew that it would take at least forty minutes to walk like this, so she simply looked up at the mountain wall in front of her, and then said, "Daddy Gao, I have something to ask for." ”

"You say. I try to do my best. "Daddy Gao doesn't understand, why this girl says so much. But now I'm in a hurry, so I can only agree first.
