Chapter 10: Receiving the Bounty

"Gone? That's gone? Seeing that he couldn't pour the wine, Hongyan shook the wine jug vigorously, and in a fit of anger, threw the wine jug in his hand far away.

"Stinky scholar." Hongyan scolded Li Zhan, who had already fainted.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the fire on the ground was burning, and from time to time there were some flames, and there was a 'crackling' sound.

By the end of the night, the fire on the ground had long since been extinguished, and only a pile of ashes and unburned branches remained.

"Hey," Li Zhan covered his head, closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and slowly got up from the ground, "My head hurts." ”

After relieving for a while, Li Zhan looked around, only to see that there was no trace of his red face, and the horse tied to the nearby was also gone.

"Let's go." Li Zhan lowered his eyes, and his expression looked a little lost.

Immediately, he slapped his face a few times and shook his head.

Li Zhan stood up with the bookcase on his back a little shaky and walked forward step by step.

"Thankfully, it wasn't broken." Hongyan led the horse, holding the newly poured wine in his hand, and when he drank it, a satisfied smile bloomed on his face.

All around, when they saw Hongyan, passers-by stopped one after another, looking at Hongyan, even some women were stupid.

"Sugar gourd, sell sugar gourd," an old man who sold sugar gourds carried a pole full of sugar gourds, walking slowly on the street, shouting as he walked, "Delicious sugar gourds." ”

"Uncle and uncle," Hong Yanlian chased after him and stopped the old man who sold sugar gourds, "You wait a minute." ”

"Girl, do you want to buy sugar gourds?" The uncle stopped, turned around and looked at Hongyan with a smile.

Naturally, although the old man was old, the moment he saw the red face, he was still amazed, and he couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Uh-huh," Hongyan looked at the sugar gourd, already greedy, and asked, "Uncle, how did this sugar gourd sell?" ”

"Two pennies a string," the old man shook his head, came back to his senses, and asked Hongyan with a smile, "I don't know how many strings you want, girl?" ”

"It's all for it," Hongyan pointed to the pole full of sugar gourds that the old man was carrying, "Old man, you count how much silver." ”

"This ......" the old man listened to Hongyan's words, a little incredulous, and hesitated, "Girl, are you kidding?" ”

"Is this the kind of person who likes to joke?"

The old man shook his head, slightly counted the sugar gourd inserted on the pole, and said to Hongyan, "Just give five taels of silver, anyway, there is not much left." ”

Hongyan took five taels of silver from the money bag and gave it to the old man.

The old man turned out to be silver, bit it, and then put it on his chest.

handed the pole full of sugar gourds he was carrying to Hongyan, but the old man did not completely let go, and kept reminding, "It's a little heavy, the girl should not be reckless." ”

Hongyan pursed his lips and smiled, pulled out a bunch of food, said goodbye to the old man, and left with him.

The horse, which was not led by Hongyan, bit his reins and obediently followed her.

"Big brother, do you want to have a bite too?" Hongyan suddenly thought of something, turned around, pulled out two strings of sugar gourds and stuffed them into the horse's mouth.

The horse was not as cooperative as last night, and after two bites, he spit it out, raised his front hooves high, and kicked at Hongyan.

The horse's hooves have always been very strong, and if this kick is made, I am afraid that it will be not lightly injured.

"Be careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

“……”

Many people present pinched a cold sweat for Hongyan, and opened their mouths one after another, reminding her loudly, and even more, someone had already rushed up.

"Good fellow, dare to be so arrogant in front of this girl!" Hongyan casually stuffed the wine jug and the pole full of sugar gourds into the hands of a man who rushed to save her.

turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and said a fierce beating to the horse, stunned that the horse lost his temper.

"Humph!" Hongyan snorted, got off the horse, clapped his hands, took the wine jug from the man's hand, carried the sugar gourd, shook his hair, and strode forward.

The horse that had been beaten down stood up, drooped its head, and followed behind Hongyan.

He bought some food to make dry food, and Hongyan rode out of the city.

Seeing Hongyan go out of the city, the people who had seen Hongyan on the street began to talk about it, and some people recognized Hongyan's identity.

"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, she is such a woman," seeing that the red face was more beautiful than herself, some women couldn't help but feel jealous, and said arrogantly in the crowd, "In addition to having a better face, what else?" ”

"That is, my mother always taught that a woman must be virtuous and virtuous, and not to act rudely."

A lot of people listened to it, laughed like a joke, and didn't say anything else.

"Red face." In the crowd, a man wearing a hat, wearing a gray-white robe, and a somewhat fat figure held the floating dust in his hand tightly, and viciously squeezed out the word from between his teeth.

"Senior brother, Mo Yan is impulsive." The other was dressed in the same vein, but extremely thin, with a pair of cloudy eyes that seemed to be like a dying old man.

The fat Taoist priest nodded, entered the crowd with the thin Taoist priest, and disappeared.

"Oh, who's who?" Nangong Yi was bumped, and looked back at the person who was walking straight away, one fat and one thin, two Taoist priests.

"It's them," Nangong Xuan looked at the two Taoist priests, his brows raised slightly, "Why are they willing to leave the temple?" ”

"The Emperor...... No, brother, do you know them? Nangong Yi tugged at Nangong Xuan's sleeve and asked curiously.

"Well, they are the two masters of the Wuliang Temple. But they've always been half a step away from the temple, so why did they come here now? ”

"Whatever, I don't know how to apologize if I hit someone, I must not be a good person," Nangong Yi pouted and said, "It's better to Sister Yan." ”

"I'm afraid you forgot that you were sent back by the red-faced girl, right?" Li Changfeng reminded on the side.

"No," Nangong glared at Li Changfeng and retorted, "It was Sister Yan who sent me back when she was in danger, Sister Yan She cares about me, she is the most gentle person in the world." ”

"What kind of ecstasy soup did this red-faced girl pour with you," Li Changfeng poked Nangong Yi's forehead hard, "We've been walking together for several months, and I haven't seen you praise me." ”

"Fierce and ugly, and loves to bully me, how can you praise you? Can you compare to my beautiful and gentle Sister Yan? ”

"You two, that's enough." Nangong Xuan pointed to a bounty posted on the wall in the distance, and said to Nangong Yiyi, "Yiyi, go and take it off." ”

"Oh," Nangong responded, and quickly ran to the wall where there were many notices and the like, and reached out to uncover the reward notice that Nangong Xuan was referring to.

"Don't let Miss Ben catch you, or I'll have to skin you." With a voice, he cursed, and then, a pair of slender jade hands were placed on the reward notice with Nangong Yi.
