Chapter 210 Songhu County
Qingcen on the side was still quiet and silent, and he didn't dare to look at me.
I thought Qingcen was uncomfortable, so I reached out and touched her forehead, there was no fever, and I checked her pulse again, and the pulse was very stable.
"Qingcen, what's wrong with you?" I asked, taking her hand.
"Sister, I will be obedient, don't leave me, I will definitely be obedient." After she finished speaking, tears actually overflowed in her eyes.
Seeing her so frightened, I pulled her into my arms and explained that I didn't want to take her with me because I was afraid of danger.
Qingcen listened, and the tears stopped, but he still pulled my sleeve tightly, unwilling to let go.
I simply took her hand and let her rest on top of me for a while.
Qingcen nodded, leaned on top of me, and soon fell asleep, making an even breathing sound.
The little uncle glanced at Qingcen and whispered to me: "This child, I am closer to you, when you are not there, she is restless, and she waits for you at the door of the house every day, and she has not slept well in the past few days." ”
"Yes, Qingcen is pitiful, she has no parents at a young age, and she now regards An Zhi as her only relative." Chu Chu looked at Qing Cen and seemed to be able to understand Qing Cen's feelings.
I reached out and stroked Qingcen's cheek, which was also pity.
The carriage was bumpy all the way, and on the way to Songhu County, we got off the bus and had a meal, and when we arrived in Songhu County, it was already the next morning.
And when I entered Songhu County, I found that it was quite lively, and there were some stalls on the streets.
The uncle asked the coachman to go directly to the wharf, and the coachman was familiar with this area, so he told the little uncle that if he wanted to go to the wharf ferry, he had to go to the county yakou to buy a ferry ticket first.
"Is there anyone else in charge of the county government here?" The little uncle was a little surprised.
After all these years of war, those former magistrates should have run out long ago.
"Well, there is still a county lord in this Songhu County, this piece is under his control, and they are also selling ferry tickets, I heard that it is not cheap." The coachman shook his head as he spoke: "What years, aren't they all the same?" They are all looting the people's fat and ointment, and we are the people who suffer. ”
After saying that, he drove the carriage to the county office, but when we arrived at the county office, we found that a notice had been posted on it, saying that the wharf was suspended.
"Why did it stop for no reason?" The little uncle got out of the carriage and took us into the county office to ask the person in charge here.
In the county office, there is a miasma of black smoke, a group of men, playing dice and drinking here in broad daylight, and there is a steaming broth pot on the table.
They were eating and playing at the same time, and it was very lively.
If you don't know, you may think you've entered a gambling house.
"Excuse me, is the dock closed now?" The little uncle asked.
Those people didn't raise their heads, and replied impatiently: "Blind, don't you know how to read the notice at the door?" ”
After speaking, someone slapped his thigh and stood up, and yelled at a few of us angrily: "Bad luck! The harmful Lao Tzu lost again. ”
Qing Cen was yelled at by the man, and he hid behind me in fright, and his body trembled a little.
"Eh, this girl is so good?" The man who was still scolding and scolding saw Chu Chu's anger half gone.
The little uncle hurriedly blocked in front of Chu Chu and continued: "Several, we are going to go to the pier ferry, how many days will this be suspended?" ”
"It's hard to say." With that, the man walked over to us, and several other men stood up with a teasing look on their faces.
"Eh, this little one isn't bad." When the man got closer, he looked at Qingcen behind me again.
"If it's out of service for a few days, then we'll take a detour." As soon as I saw the man's eyes, I felt extremely obscene.
Moreover, this is their territory, and if there is really any conflict, I am afraid that it will be very troublesome.
"Eh, want to go? Then sing a song to Lao Tzu, otherwise, a dance will be done. As the lewd man spoke, he reached out and touched Chu Chu.
The little uncle was immediately angry: "Please be respectful, we won't take the boat." ”
After the little uncle finished speaking, he pulled Chu Chu and motioned for us to leave.
The rest of the men had already gathered in front of the gate of the county office, and the coachman at the door was also stunned when he saw this situation, but he didn't dare to come in to take care of it.
"Is this county government a place where you come and go?" One of them, a bearded man, simply came over and did it.
The bearded man pulled Chu Chu's arm, and this move completely "blew up" his uncle, who had always wanted to make a big deal small.
He threw a punch and slammed it into the bearded man's face.
The bearded man didn't expect that his little uncle, a "scholar" who looked weak and weak, would dare to do something to him, and he was instantly angry.
"Lao Tzu will kill you today!" After that, he directly grabbed the little uncle and was about to do it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I flew up and kicked the bearded man to the ground first.
Moreover, the silver needle in the sleeve is ready to go, so many people, with their fists and feet, they don't know when they will fight.
But if they use silver needles, they are afraid that they will be stabbed in the vital place.
The acupuncture point on this person's body was stabbed, but it was no joke.
"Ahh The bearded man was angry and pointed at me and my uncle and was about to beat him.
"Chu Chu, you and Qing Cen step aside!" The little uncle shouted at Chu Chu.
Chu Chu hurriedly pulled Qing Cen and retreated to the corner, the little uncle shouted, and rushed over to scuffle with those people, I saw that they had already made a mess, and the silver needle could not be used.
"You ugly woman, you are also blessed, Lao Tzu likes to splash, your figure is okay, you will go to the big bed for a while, compare." The bearded man's words were insulting.
I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart, and retreated towards the wooden table where they had just played the dice.
The bearded man thought I was afraid of him, and the smile on his face became happier and happier, and he came over with a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
I leaned sideways, picked up the pot of hot broth on the table, and threw it directly at the bearded man's face.
"Ahhh The beard was splashed with hot soup and let out a pig-killing howl
"Ah, catch her for me, catch her, I'm going to kill her!" The bearded man wailed.
I saw that at this moment, my little uncle had been beaten by several other people, and his nose and face were swollen, and the scene was a little chaotic.
"What's all the noise? What kind of system have you become? "Just as I was pondering what to do with them, a slightly tired man's voice came into my ears.
When I looked up, I saw a man in his thirties or forties, a little thin-looking, and wearing a purple gown, and the bearded men all stood up straight and hung their heads as if a mouse had seen a cat.
