Chapter Thirty-Nine: Beat You Flat with One Punch
This house is deep, separated by two courtyard gates. Lao Wu took Gu Xiaoyu into the back door, walked around the corridor, and finally entered a room.
There was no one else in the house and the furnishings were simple. Mahogany bed, round table square stool, bronze mirror table, screen hanger.
Therefore, Xiao Yu glanced around, only to feel that the fragrance of fat powder was too strong and greasy in his nose, and he couldn't help frowning frequently. Although it is separated by the courtyard wall, you can still hear the laughter of the warblers in the front yard building, which is very improper.
Therefore, Xiao Yu's eyes sank, dragged a handful of clothes behind the fifth child's back, and asked him in a deep voice: "What is this place?" Are you sure the person I'm looking for is here? β
Lao Wu put the two taels of silver she gave into his arms, and pulled the corners of his mouth perfunctorily: "That's right, I rescued the little boy, you have to believe me." β
The two waited in the house for a while, and someone pushed the door in.
I saw that it was a woman wearing a red dress and a green skirt, hairpins with beads, and a twisted posture between her temples when she raised her hand. Behind him were two sturdy men in gray clothes, guarding the door.
The fifth child immediately leaned in and said a few words to the woman while biting her ear. The two turned around and cast an unkind look at the old Xiaoyu.
Their faces were ill-intentioned, so Xiao Yu faintly felt that something was wrong, and the short thorns in his sleeves slowly revealed half an inch of light.
The woman smiled and looked: the little girl is not very old, she is very sassy in her dress, look at her face like Fu powder, her facial features will grow in two years, she must be a pearl and precious jade.
Then, she glanced at the tail of her eyes, and gave the fifth child a wink with a little smell of wind and dust: "It's okay, you can tell you a price." β
Lao Wumo clasped his hands, looked at Gu Xiaoyu, and said with a big grin: "Twenty taels, how is it?" β
β Oops, going to be sold!
Therefore, Xiaoyu's heart suddenly understood: This is a green building! How dare this old ruffian calculate me? Wait to be beaten flat by your aunt!
"Don't forget that the wine money you owe last time has been delayed! It's better to write off the previous one, people stay, and you can go. β
The old five lions didn't open their mouths, but they couldn't lose their temper when they were pinched by the bustard.
He looked reluctant to leave, and the two thugs simply stepped forward and raised their arms one left and one right, and carried the person out.
There are only the old bustard and the old Xiaoyu left in the house.
A cold face was guarded, and a smile persuaded each other: "Little girl, let's rely on Cuilou here, don't think about going out in the future." If you are favored by a nobleman, then you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life! Hehehehehe......"
Therefore, Xiao Yu's eyebrows relaxed, and his eyes were slightly glazed: "Your house is too smelly, I can't stay still." β

As soon as the picture turned, the figures coincided.
Therefore, Xiao Yu gathered his eyes, raised his foot high, and stepped on Lao Wu's chest fiercely, and the short thorn followed close to the person's cheek: "Do you want to know how I escaped?" β
Lao Wushi nodded in fright, and shook his head violently, "No, no, I don't want to!" Grandma and sister-in-law just treat me as a fart! I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, so I must be a good man in the future! β
"Hah!" Therefore, Xiao Yu laughed angrily, and smashed it directly with a punch, beating Lao Wu and screaming in pain, and two lines of red nosebleeds flowed out.
"Put? The huge Guzhou City, even if an old ruffian died, who knows? Don't you say? β
After that, Xiao Yu straightened his expression, and there was already a bit of solemn coldness in his eyes.
The atmosphere was cramped, the old five's eyes were straight, and his body trembled violentlyβhe was scared to pee!
The smell was really bad, so Xiao Yu immediately withdrew his leg and retreated to the door.
Lao Wu's hands and feet were tied, and he raised his arms to wipe his nosebleed in a panic, and suddenly thought of something in his head, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill me, really don't kill me!" I saved a little boy half a month ago, and the person in your portrait is seven or eight points alike! β
The two beggars looked at each other, and then stepped forward to lift the whole person up.
Therefore, Xiaoyu leaned on the door frame and asked impatiently: "Do you want to trick me to save the dog's life?" β
"No, no, what I said is true! If you don't believe me, you can go to the ferry and ask! That day, I went to the river and rescued a little boy, who was in a mess...... Then we met a merchant girl who went with them on a boat. Lao Wu deliberately pinched his head and removed his tail, and only said the parts that were beneficial to him sincerely.
Therefore, Xiao Yu was suspicious and glanced at the two beggars. The two simply stuffed the fifth child's mouth with a cloth, let him shrink in the corner and beg for mercy, and ignored it completely.
Since he had doubts in his heart, Xiao Yu immediately decided to go to the ferry.
ο½
The Guanjia ferry port in Guzhou is adjacent to Shangjing in the north, and the river crisscrosses several large rivers that flow from east to southwest. The entire ferry port is paved with stone and built with thick wooden planks.
The sails on the river are like forests, the boats shuttle, the people at the ferry are like ants, and the department stores are piled up. What grains, oils, furs, salt, medicinal materials, but also silk, cotton, tea, porcelain, etc. The streets and alleys along the coast are also accessible, although there are mostly shantytowns and single-family buildings, but they are also lively and prosperous.
Therefore, Xiao Yu rushed to the ferry with two beggars and inquired separately. Within half an hour, I got the news from the porter who moved the goods.
The little boy she was looking for really left with the merchant ship, and the young lady who took him lived in Yongcheng, Luoyang......
Therefore, Xiaoyu asked the two beggars to go back to the city first, and he stayed at the ferry. She sighed slightly and looked into the distance, frowning: I knew that I should have taken the two taels of silver back, but how could I take the boat now that I was penniless?
A man with a bamboo basket on his back hung his head and passed by, and suddenly something fell off his waist. Therefore, Xiaoyu's eyes were sharp, and she found that it was a money bag, she didn't think much about picking it up and catching up with the person immediately, and returned the money bag.
The man looked mediocre, and there was no joy on his face, so he thanked him and took a sugarcane from the basket and gave it to Gu Xiaoyu.
When Xiao Yu turned around and walked away, the man looked back, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and scolded secretly: Ah, this old man, Lao Tzu was ordered to protect you, knowing that you didn't have the money bag that you deliberately dropped with money, can't you take it with a clear conscience?
Therefore, Xiao Yu didn't notice it, and gnawed on the sugarcane by himself, and the juice was very sweet. She was in a good mood, and her eyes began to wander around, and she saw several merchant ships stranded on the shore, with large hulls and slightly flat heads; There is also a bamboo raft boat on the side, with a small hull and slightly pointed ends.
There happened to be a convoy of chariots and horses 'tuk-tuk' passing by her sight. A few middle-aged people who were holding the goods were in their shirts and pants, their eyes were like torches, and they were practicing their feet steadily. On the body of the loaded car, there is a flag with a red background and yellow edges, and the flag of the Changfeng Dart Bureau is written. In the middle of a carriage with a blue curtain, two hoarse coughs sounded.
"Ahem, Young Master Chen, are you going to get on the boat?" It turned out to be an old woman.
On the tall horse that followed the car, a young man was sitting on the board. The face is cold and handsome, and it is not easy to get close.
"It's time to the ferry, don't worry, the master can rest assured, let's go to Luoyang, we will arrange it all the way."
Therefore, Xiaoyu finished gnawing on the sugarcane in a few clicks, patted her shirt with her hand on her waist, and her eyes lit up: she has an idea!
The ferry has a special officer who is responsible for checking on the people and goods that are staying here.
The wise and foolish Xiao Yu took advantage of the fact that the people of the dart bureau were registering with the errand officer of the ferry, and hid in a big mahogany box. After a while, he was carried onto the boat without anyone noticing.
