Chapter 13: Yan Qi?
Dr. Lin is not a deceitful person, as long as he goes to the county to inquire, he can know whether it is true or false, Tang Shui'er just doesn't understand why Dr. Lin wants to give them such a big favor.
As if seeing through the doubts in Tang Shui'er's heart, Dr. Lin touched his belly that was supported by food, and said with a smile: "Old man, I don't want to say anything else, there are two things that have never gone wrong in this life, one is to see a doctor, and the other is to see people, this village is too small to keep you and your wife. ”
"It's not too early, thanks to the hospitality, it's time for me to say goodbye, old man." Dr. Lin carried the hare, went out happily, and waved his hand to the couple, "Okay, don't send it, go back quickly." ”
Tang Shui'er and Da Zhuang stood in front of the courtyard gate, watching Dr. Lin's back gradually disappear at the entrance of the village.
Tang Shui'er was exhausted: "Da Zhuang, why do I always feel that I can't go in my heart?" ”
Da Zhuang didn't think that the old man was still counting on Tang Shui'er to open a restaurant and eat a few more meals, but he still comforted Tang Shui'er and said, "In the future, we will send him more game." ”
It's okay, the dark clouds in Tang Shui'er's heart dispersed in a flash, and happily pulled Da Zhuang back to the house.
Before going to bed, Tang Shui'er asked Da Zhuang: "Da Zhuang, I want to do some business by myself, do you think?" ”
Da Zhuang thought for a while and said, "It's good if you like it." ”
Tang Shui'er frowned: "Don't you object to me going out and showing up?" ”
Da Zhuang's face was a little tangled, and after a while, he replied sullenly: "Shui'er, you don't dislike me for being ugly, and you don't dislike me for being useless, how can I object to you going out to do business." ”
"Phew!"
Tang Shui'er pulled him to sit down on the edge of the bed, looked at him with straight eyes, reached out and slowly stroked the scars on the corners of his forehead and eyes, and his tone was unconsciously dyed with a little sadness:
"Whoever says you're ugly, whoever dares to say you're ugly next time will beat him! Beat him up even uglier! In the past two years, the family has relied on you, I haven't done anything, how can you be useless, and besides, I am not alone in doing business, we are doing it together, are you willing to help me? ”
The warm touch of his fingertips crossed his face, and Da Zhuang's heart flashed a little unnatural, and a flush floated under his dark skin, but fortunately, Tang Shui'er couldn't see it, lowered his eyes and nodded stunnedly: "Of course I will help you." ”
Tang Shui'er pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to stand up, when she pressed her hand to the pillow and hooked out a red rope, on which was braided a snow-white jade pendant the size of half a palm.
"What is this?"
Seeing this, Da Zhuang wanted to stop and take the jade pendant back, but he was stunned and withdrew his outstretched hand halfway, watching Tang Shui'er flip over and over to check the jade pendant, and a sense of uneasiness gradually swelled in his heart.
The jade pendant is heavy in the hand, the hand feels warm and smooth, it is obviously a good jade pendant, I saw that the front of the jade pendant is carved with a unicorn, and the back is slightly engraved with two words "Yan Qi".
Tang Shui'er touched the two words on the jade pendant and muttered, "Yan Qi...... Your name is Yan Qi? Do you remember? ”
Da Zhuang shook his head again and again, and as soon as he spoke nervously, he stumbled: "I, I don't know, this jade pendant was hanging on my waist that day, I think it might be." ”
Tang Shui'er understood, returned the jade pendant to Da Zhuang, and carefully advised: "This jade pendant may be very important to you, don't put it in a mess anymore, I'll sew a bag for you tomorrow, you can put it in the bag." ”
Da Zhuang nodded in response.
After the lights went out, the two of them lay down in the room, separated by a wall, and all kinds of thoughts flew in their minds, and they all put the matter in their hearts for the time being.
At dawn the next day, Tang Shui'er got up to boil water to make breakfast, and after Da Zhuang finished eating early, the two prepared to go to the county together.
Da Zhuang had a horse when he came, and after pulling Tang Shui'er to sit firmly on the horse, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and drank softly: "Drive!" ”
The horse began to run unhurriedly, and Tang Shui'er slowly relaxed, except for being a little scared at first and sitting very stiff.
She leaned against Da Zhuang, a gust of wind blew in her ears, her eyes couldn't stop looking at the surrounding scenery, Qingping Village in Changning County said that it was not close, and it was not far away, if you walked normally, you had to walk for more than half an hour.
And they rode horses, and the time for less than a stick of incense arrived.
Tang Shui'er got off the horse with the help of Da Zhuang, and his eyes were shining and pestered Da Zhuang to teach him to ride a horse, and Da Zhuang naturally responded.
The big strong horse is called Hurricane, tall and mighty, the whole body is black, only the four hooves are pure white, the hair is shiny, obviously the big strong is carefully raised, and it is very good.
Tang Shui'er touched its ears and said jokingly with Da Zhuang: "When you have money, it's better to buy a little mare for the wind to be your companion." ”
The wind slashed its feet on the spot and raised its head and hissed.
Tang Shui'er smiled: "Look, the wind is also happy." ”
Da Zhuang has no problem with Tang Shui'er, and there is no other way except to be good.
But he didn't tell Tang Shui'er that it was not easy to buy a horse, a good horse could fight, and the government might intervene, and the most inferior horse would cost 60,000 copper coins, equivalent to 600 taels of silver, and there was no horse market in Changning County, so money might not be able to buy it.
