Chapter 4: Encounter with a Bandit [New Book Seeking Recommendation Votes]
Mother Liu patted her body: "Good man, you see that we are also dressed in poor people, with a little silver and some food on our bodies, let us go!" ”
The thin monkey's eyes widened, and such a fat sheep could say and let it go: "Don't talk nonsense, take out the silver." ”
After the thin monkey finished speaking, he glanced at the three women, and a lewd smile appeared on his face, it seemed that he wanted to collect both personal wealth.
Mother Liu took off the burden tied to her back, held the whole with both hands and handed it to the thin monkey.
The thin monkey who was complacent did not doubt it, three women, there was no such thing as a threat, and he swaggered over and reached out to grab Liu's mother's burden.
Mother Liu saw the thin monkey's hand holding the knife, grabbed it with both hands, and at the same time lowered her head and bit the thin monkey's wrist fiercely.
"Ah......h
At this time, Dong Xiaowan was so nervous that she was staring at the ground, maybe she was looking for something to take advantage of!
Hua Yuyu saw that Liu Ma was biting right, and immediately rushed over, using a trick of anti-wolf in her previous life to "tease her yin legs", and hit with one move!
"Hmm!" The thin monkey was kicked by Hua Yuyu, opened his big mouth, covered his lower body with one hand, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
Alas! The boat capsized in the gutter.
"Run!" Hua Yu hit the foot and immediately shouted loudly.
Liu's mother grabbed the burden that fell on the ground and ran away.
"Oh! Oh! Liu Ma and Hua Yuyu had already run more than ten meters, Dong Xiaowan came to her senses, followed and started immediately, chasing Liu Ma and Hua Yuyu.
"Rest, rest, I can't run, haha!" Hua Yu shouted and laughed.
The three of them ran ten miles in one breath, and then they dared to stop and rest and move forward slowly.
"Little ...... Oh sister, your kick is too timely, it's so scary, it turns out that the outside world is so chaotic! Dong Xiaowan, who had never seen the world, patted her not-so-spectacular chest as she spoke.
Hua Yuyu didn't dare to relax, and reminded the two people: "You haven't gone out of the mountains and forests yet, you have to be careful." ”
Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and by the time I saw the market town in the distance, the sun was almost setting in the west.
"There's someone up there, oops!" Dong Xiaowan saw the market town in the distance, jumped up with joy, and accidentally touched the blisters on the soles of her feet, which made her cry out in pain, and tears flowed out.
Mother Liu asked with concern: "It hurts!" When you get to the market town, Mother Liu will give you some medicine and it won't hurt so much. ”
Fortunately, Liu's mother is tall and tall, and she is from a poor family, she takes care of the two of them all the way, and after comforting this and saying hello to that, otherwise it will be really difficult for Hua Yuyu and Dong Xiaowan to finish this journey.
Especially Hua Yuyu, she was not a person who liked sports in this life and her previous life, and her feet were also blistered, so painful that she often gritted her teeth and walked desperately.
Sixty miles is really a big distance for a girl.
When I limped into the town, it was already full of smoke, and except for the merchants who came and went on the streets, the people of the town had already gone home to rest.
This town is called Xingde Town, which is a wasteland, Xingde Town is just a three-way intersection, one goes north to the capital, and one goes south to the south of the Yangtze River.
At the beginning, there was only a family that opened a wild shop here, selling some tea and dry food, and gradually there were restaurants, inns, gambling houses, green buildings, and pawnshops.
Now, decades have passed, and Xingde Town is becoming more and more prosperous, and any business can be seen in Xingde Town.
Xingde Inn, which is named after the town, is located in the middle of the only street in Xingde Town, opposite the Xingde Teahouse, which is opened by the same owner.
The three of them walked into the inn, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted them: "Do the three guest officers want to stay in the hotel?" Although he saw three people wearing coarse clothes and homespun cloth, he still greeted them with a smile.
"Hmmm! Yes, do you have large rooms? Liu's mother replied.
"Yes, there are some large shops, just behind the inn, and the second floor is a more exquisite wing, please ask the guest officer for which one."
"How do you count the room on the second floor?"
"There are only two rooms on the second floor that can sleep three people, and one night is five dollars of silver, and now there is only one left, or I will take the guest officer to see it first."
"Alright! Lead the way ahead. Mother Liu replied with a smile.
"Please follow me." The shopkeeper led the way to the spacious wooden staircase.
It was a relatively large room, with four chairs next to a round table and a quilt on a bed, more than enough for three people.
"Alright! This is the only room to be. Mother Liu nodded at the shopkeeper and said, I don't care, I can't wronged the eldest lady.
"Okay! The guest officer rests first, and if you need to eat, you can go to the opposite teahouse, or you can bring it to the room to eat, the price is fair, and it is the property of the same owner. ”
Liu's mother had been out before, and she knew how to do it, so she replied to the shopkeeper: "Then come three dishes and one soup, three bowls of rice, and a bucket of hot water, all brought to the room." ”
"Okay! Good! Guest, please wait. The shopkeeper replied happily.
In this era, there is already a saying about performance, who entertains guests, the more money spends, the more monthly money the shopkeeper will be.
As soon as the shopkeeper walked out of the room, Hua Yuyu fell down on the kang without an image, and said to Dong Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, come up and lie down, your feet won't hurt so much." ”
Mother Liu saw that the eldest lady who was usually Jin Gui was tired like this, and Dong Xiaowan, who was so young that she was so distressed that she touched her tears: "Lu Jiaren, who has suffered a thousand cuts, why did he come to embarrass Huafu!" ”
Hua Yuyu hurriedly said to Liu's mother: "Liu's mother, you should also hurry up and lie down for a while." She was afraid that if Mother Liu continued to talk about it, Dong Xiaowan would cry.
Sure enough, as soon as Mother Liu touched her tears, Dong Xiaowan lay on the quilt and buried her face in the quilt, although she didn't cry, her slightly trembling body betrayed her.
Hua Yuyu touched Dong Xiaowan's head and comforted her: "Xiaowan, I've hurt you." ”
"Sister! I'm fine, I'm sorry, I didn't help you and made a mess for you. ”
"How can you say that! Don't say that again, you know. "Hua Yuyu and Dong Xiaowan are usually like sisters, but Dong Xiaowan's age is still a little young, and she is only thirteen years old this year.
"Got it, sister." Dong Xiaowan replied obediently.
After lying down for a while, the shopkeeper brought the food in, and the speed was still full.
The shopkeeper said while setting up the dishes: "I think you should have walked a long way, are you hungry!" So I let the cook cook the guest first. "The shopkeeper is very good at coming to things.
"Thank you! Can you please help me move the table to the side of the kang? After Mother Liu thanked her, she wanted to move the table over, so that Hua Yu and Dong Xiaowan didn't have to go to the ground.
"No problem." The shopkeeper and Liu's mother moved over alone.
The shopkeeper brought another bucket of hot water covered with a wooden lid, and then walked out of the room and closed the door with his hand.
"Let's go!" Hua Yuyu picked up the chopsticks and said with a grin.
"Hee-hee!" Dong Xiaowan also picked up the chopsticks, she was already so hungry that her stomach was croaking, but she didn't dare to say it.
