Chapter 41: Heavy Rain
Wei Han rode his horse and quickly left Luo Sheng and his party far behind.
There are still unchanged green hills and green trees ahead.
The horse slowed down.
The guard approached with the reins in his tugging, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Master, what do you want a dagger with bells and whistles for?" ”
Wei Han glanced at the guard expressionlessly, feeling that the dagger in his arms was very panicked.
How did he know what to do with this fancy dagger!
When he mentioned this dagger, he implied that he recognized Miss Luo as the masked woman that night, and wanted to see the other party's panic to further confirm.
Who knew that the other party quickly took out the dagger and sold it to him - Wei Han thought about this, and his face became even colder.
"I always feel like you're losing. Although it didn't cost money, I still had to do one thing for Miss Luo, and I couldn't ask for someone else to spend 30,000 taels of silver to beg you to do something. ”
"Long-winded! I've got my own plans. Wei Han couldn't get over his face, so he scolded with a cold face.
Does this bastard have to remind him repeatedly that he dug a pit and jumped into it himself?
The guards misunderstood what Wei Han meant.
Have your own plans?
Wait, is he overlooking something?
The guard's mind flashed through the girl's delicate eyebrows.
Yes, he had guessed that the master might be pleased with Miss Luo, but he couldn't believe that the master was such a superficial person, but now he had to believe it.
Otherwise, how to explain that the master has to get the girl's dagger in his hands?
Looking at the master's grim side face, the guards were full of admiration.
It is nonsense to say that their master may die alone.
"Master, should Miss Luo give you a box to put away?"
"Huh?" Wei Han looked sideways at the guard, his eyes puzzled.
He couldn't understand the girl, why he couldn't even read his own guard.
What does it mean to have a dagger with a pinch nose and a box?
Under Wei Han's gaze, the guard smiled: "How bad it is to lose this kind of love token or lose a gem-"
Wei Han was stunned, and then he left with the horse's belly, leaving the guards with a gray nose.
Three days later in the blink of an eye, Luo Sheng and his party were getting farther and farther away from Jinsha and closer and closer to the capital.
There were now only eight people left in the team, and the four missing guards remained in the previous town to recuperate.
Sheng Saburo quietly touched his stomach and leaned over to the carriage window: "Cousin, isn't it time for us to eat?" ”
Woo woo, he wants to eat called flower elbow. It's not called flower elbow, and it's okay to drink a pot of bone broth.
Hongdou couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Cousin, we haven't even had breakfast for an hour." ”
"Yes?" Sheng Saburo looked puzzled, "Why do I feel like it's been a long time." ”
Luo Sheng held the green cloth curtain in his hand and raised his chin slightly: "Cousin, look at the sky, let's hurry up." ”
Sheng Saburo looked up, and he didn't know when the blue sky and white clouds had turned into clouds and mountains, and the wind was surging.
They had already encountered a rain along the way, and it was not pleasant to travel in the rain.
"Speed it up." Sheng Saburo shouted.
The speed of the carriage and horses accelerated, but the sky became faster, and it was still a white sea of clouds just now, but suddenly it turned into dark clouds rolling, and there was a hidden thunder.
Then a flash of light split the thick clouds, and bean-sized rain fell.
The rain fell so hard that the blinding rain curtain blurred the vision of pedestrians, and the muddy road made it difficult for the carriages and horses to move in the wind and rain.
"Cousin, I see a house ahead, let's go take shelter from the rain." Sheng Saburo wiped a handful of rain and shouted loudly through the rain curtain.
Luo Sheng would not object.
In this case, you can't go too far, and you will suffer in vain.
With the goal in mind, everyone came to the spirit, and for a while the speed slowed down by the heavy rain sped up, and when they got closer to the house, they found that it was a ruined temple.
It is said that it is a broken temple, and it is no problem to shelter from the rain, and it also saves the trouble of obtaining the consent of the owner's family.
The carriage stopped, and Hongdou jumped down first with an oil-paper umbrella, and turned around to help Luo Sheng down.
Xiuyue followed, holding a bamboo umbrella alone.
Hongdou moved the umbrella in the direction of Luo Sheng, and by the way, he threw a big roll of his eyes at Xiuyue.
The girl is eccentric!
There were two umbrellas in the carriage, and the girl actually offered one for the ugly mother-in-law.
Obviously, she is the most favored big girl, and even when the girl was sent away, the governor was only allowed to bring one subordinate, and the girl chose her.
She won by stepping on the tears of those little hooves of Chloe, what is the ugly mother-in-law?
Phew, a tofu brain seller!
The little girl's heart seemed to be soaked in a boiling vinegar pot and fried, until she entered the ruined temple.
The temple has been abandoned for a long time, and even the original idol of the god has disappeared. One leg was missing from the offering table and fell to the ground, and there was a lot of dry firewood piled up in the corner.
These dry firewood made Sheng Saburo and the others overjoyed, and they hurriedly cleaned up a place and lit a fire.
Looking at the surging flames, Sheng Saburo smiled at Luo Sheng: "Cousin, such a prosperous fire is idle and idle, why don't you put a pot on the shelf and get something to eat?" ”
Luo Sheng was silent.
I didn't expect "idle" to be so useful.
Glancing around, seeing that except for the rest of the people who got out of the carriage, they were all soaked, Luo Sheng nodded: "Just boil a pot of ginger tea to drive away the cold." ”
Sheng Saburo couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and thought that it would be good to drink a few sips of sweet ginger tea on a rainy day, so he hurriedly commanded the two guards to move things to the carriage.
After a while, the strong smell of ginger tea began to waft in the broken temple, and the clothes on Sheng Saburo and the others were also half-baked.
Red beans first served a bowl to Luo Sheng, then a bowl to Sheng Saburo and others one by one, and finally served a bowl of ginger tea and drank it.
"Red beans, you have one less bowl." Luo Sheng held the hot porcelain bowl and reminded.
"Shaosheng? No-" Hongdou seemed to have just discovered Xiuyue and slapped his forehead, "Oops, forget about the ugly mother-in-law." But ugly mother-in-law, you have hands and feet, you don't mind doing it yourself, do you? ”
Sheng Saburo, who was drinking ginger tea, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
The little girl of red beans is only suitable for scolding, not suitable for acting at all.
It's pompous!
Xiuyue is already in her thirties, so naturally she will not worry about a little girl, so she silently took a bowl of ginger tea and sat aside to drink.
Taking a sip of ginger tea with honey, the corners of Xiuyue's eyes were slightly wet.
In addition to honey, the county lord also likes to add some white pepper, just like the bowl of ginger tea in front of him.
Luo Sheng suddenly glanced at Xiuyue and asked, "Does the ugly mother-in-law have a name?" ”
Xiuyue paused her hand and smiled: "The old woman is old, and she looks like this again, I'm used to hearing people call me an ugly mother-in-law." ”
Luo Sheng shook his head: "That's not possible." Since you have followed me, I have been called like this, and I don't like it. ”
Xiuyue lowered her eyes: "Then please give the girl a name casually." ”
What's the matter with a name, she will always be the county lord's eldest maid Xiuyue.
Luo Sheng drank the last sip of ginger tea and handed the bowl to the red beans: "Then call it Xiugu." ”
