Chapter 8 The road is narrow

"Bastard thing! You dare to stop Shiro's car! ”

Under the city gates, there was a lot of commotion.

The coachman, Old Man Liu, pulled the reins sharply and parked the carriage in the alley, "Miss, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out today." ”

Yang Jing pulled the curtain and poked her head out.

Coldly met a pair of narrow eyes.

Under the city gate, a tall carriage with two horses and its head was stopped by the guards, and the man was dressed in a snow-white robe with an untied belt, and came out of the carriage with a graceful posture.

Yang Jing retracted the carriage with a "sigh" and lowered the curtain.

Although she shrank quickly, Jiang Qiubai still recognized her with a glance from afar.

"Shiro, what are you looking at? Serious matters. Someone in the carriage urged.

Jiang Qiubai retracted his gaze and handed out the jade pendant on his waist, "It's a good thing to be strictly guarded, but I'm just going out to study, so you can rest assured." ”

On the delicate jade pendant that exudes the light of the orchid, a huge "Jiang" character is exquisitely carved.

"It's the villain who doesn't have long eyes, blocking Jiang Shilang's way, let him go!" The guard respectfully presented the jade pendant, nodded and bent down to watch the car drive out, and then squinted and smiled, "Hey, no wonder the women in our city are all fascinated by this Jiang Shilang, and even Lao Tzu, a big man, can't bear Jiang Shilang's laughter." ”

"Hahahaha~~~" The guards behind him laughed when they heard this.

Seeing Jiang Shilang's carriage out of the city gate, Old Man Liu was so anxious that he became a mess.

After all, an old man who has never seen anything in the world, although Yang Jing taught him many times how to deal with the searching guards before leaving, he still can't use it freely.

At this moment, Yang Jing turned her gaze to Shen Yao.

"Xiao Zhao." She spit out her thin lips and looked at him with blazing eyes, "Your time has come to repay the favor." ”

"Repay the favor? When did I owe you a favor? Shen Yao sat in the far corner of the carriage, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and his youthful face was full of gangsterism.

"Not at this time, but I don't know if there will be one in the future." She smiled mysteriously, and her little face, which was as white as snow, finally showed a smile that matched her age, "Go ahead, these people only check their identities and won't ask anything more." ”

"Eh, I haven't promised you yet!" Shen Yao got out of the carriage half-pushed, and the melon seeds in his hand were gone, he chewed his mouth twice, and scolded: "Damn Yang Jing, you actually made a beauty trick for the little master!" ”

The carriage drove again, and Old Man Liu sat opposite Yang Jing nervously, not daring to let out the atmosphere, and the other two were not much better than him.

Going out of the city to sell grain without permission, if this is caught by the officers and soldiers, it will be a capital crime!

But the little girl in front of her made a heavy oath to them calmly today, and she also made a generous move!

Thinking of this, Old Man Liu raised his head and sneaked a glance at Yang Jing, who was tilting her head and leaning on the wall of the carriage and eating melon seeds.

Yang Jing smiled back, "Uncle Liu doesn't have to worry, the little girl must bear it if something happens." ”

Because of the sound of talking in the carriage and the nervous nerves of the three old men, they didn't hear what was happening outside the carriage, only faintly heard two words, "Let go!" ”

Immediately, the wheels began to roll again.

Shen Yao lifted the curtain and got in, "Hey, I won't catch the car." ”

Yang Jing nodded and looked at Old Man Liu, "Uncle Liu, I still have to trouble you." ”

Old man Liu had a false alarm, sweated his hands and feet out of the car, and continued to catch up with the car.

Stop-and-go for nearly two hours.

Yang Jing was a little drowsy against the wall of the car, and suddenly a pair of arms were inserted horizontally, and her head was placed in a warm and soft place.

Shen Yao lowered his voice and said, "I want you to rely on it." ”

Yang Jing pursed her lips and smiled, and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was completely dark.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up and asked, "Uncle Liu, where are we?" ”

"Miss, we just entered Huaiyin County."

"Yes, okay." Moving her sour neck, Yang Jing bent down and got out of the car.

The night was dark, the county town was silent, and the streets were unusually deserted.

Walking north along the street, Yang Jing vaguely remembered that there was a land temple there.

"Here, get out of the car, we'll stay here tonight for the night, and we'll be back tomorrow morning."

Shen Yao was the first to jump out of the car, and when he saw that there was a dilapidated earthen temple outside, he immediately lamented, "Can't we sleep in the inn?" came all the way to sleep in the ruined temple. ”

"Isn't it good to break a temple? It's a rare opportunity to sleep with the father-in-law of the land. Yang Jing lifted the curtain behind the carriage, "Uncle Liu, please bring everything in." ”

After saying that, she walked straight into the earthen temple.

Shen Yao followed closely, "I thought you were coming to Huaiyin County to seek refuge with some relatives?" Tossing around for half a day just to come here for some sleep? ”

Yang Jing didn't answer, and her eyes slowly swept over the tables and images in the temple.

She stepped forward and lifted the tablecloth under the image of the earth with a swift movement.

Shen Yao was so frightened that he took a few steps back and gasped, "Here, how can there be someone here!" ”

It was a pair of thin, sunken eyes.

The man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, his hands tightly folded around his legs and curled up under the table, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

It's exactly the same as in last night's dream.

Yang Jing was overjoyed, squatted down and handed her hand to the man on the table, "Come on." ”

"Nope! I'm not coming out! The man roared and waved her hand open, his eyes wide open, as if he had been greatly frightened.

When I took a closer look, I found that the man actually had a pair of blood-colored pupils.

Shen Yao also saw it, grabbed her and stepped back.

"Hey, stay away, watch out for this guy to pounce on you and bite you!" Maybe it's because the expressions of the people under the table are too hideous and weird, Shen Yao said subconsciously.

"Miss, it's all done." Old man Liu leaned over and said.

Yang Jing nodded, there is still one night, you have to take your time.

Thinking about it, she walked out of the temple with quick steps, took out the new clothes prepared in the car, and put them under the table.

The man stared at her viciously.

"This is for you." After speaking, she put down the tablecloth, and watched the corner of the new clothes that appeared outside the tablecloth slowly disappear, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a light smile.

Shen Yao stood aside, feeling strange.

Half an hour later, the temple was simply cleaned up, and finally a piece of land could be settled.

Yang Jing took out the fire fold in her arms and lit the fire with some hay and discarded clothes.

Old man Liu opened the meal he had bought in advance, and Shen Yao frowned, "This is something you asked someone to buy a long time ago?" ”

Yang Jing let out a "grace".

"What about the clothes? Did you prepare it in advance? ”

"yes." She replied cheerfully, "You don't have to guess what I'm thinking, I'm just here to make a fortune." ”

Shen Yao's eyebrows were raised, the more she didn't want him to guess, the more he wanted to guess.

"I'll figure it out."

Yang Jing smiled, picked up the rice bowl, and thought in her heart: Xiao Zhao is good at everything, smart and capable, and he doesn't look bad, but he just likes to understand everything.

The temple was so silent that only the sound of chewing food remained.

Not long after, the table under the Buddha statue moved, making a "gurgling" sound.
