Chapter 16 Jiangnan Pharmacy
When I woke up, my head seemed to explode, and it was dim and dim, and I seemed to be in a snakeskin bag, and I couldn't scream with a cloth in my mouth, and my body was tied with ropes, and I couldn't move at all. Kidnapped again in the Central Plains.
I tried to roll my body, but yesterday I drank a jar of blazing wine and it really made me sick.
Two people came in, and I immediately stopped moving.
The woman said, "If this girl dresses up, her appearance is absolutely superior, the price, you give me fifty taels of silver." I managed to get it for you, and it's a bargain. β
Isn't this the same woman who called herself her mother with heavy makeup last night?
The man said, "Fifty taels is fifty taels, the old man is easy to say." Let me tell you, if this goods can satisfy the old man, we will be paid more than that. And just like that, I delivered. β
The man's footsteps got closer and closer, and he carried me and the bag on his shoulders. After walking for a while, he threw me in something, and it was surrounded by wooden boxes. I also heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels.
Where is this person taking me? Listening to what he just said to that woman, what old man is he going to sell me to?! Spicy mom's, it turned out to be a human trafficker! And you want to sell me to the old man as a little wife? Such a heart-wrenching thing happened to me again.
I managed to break free from my hands and feet, but the space was so narrow and small that it was difficult to breathe, and the top could not be opened. I finally took off the bag I was putting on my body, but I could only lie in it and do nothing. I put my nose close to the slit, hoping to get some fresh air.
Just by listening with my ears, I knew that this man had deliberately taken a path that no one would have noticed, even if I had patted the plank with my hand. No matter, we have to stop him first.
I slapped the plank and shouted, "Help! β
When the man heard the movement, he stopped the carriage and cursed as he prepared to open the wooden box: "Damn it! I don't know how to give the girl a piece back to Lao Tzu-"
As soon as he opened the box, I stood up and punched him in the nose, and my hands had shot arrows and danced knives.
The man had a terrible face, covering his nose in pain while clutching my arm tightly. Seeing that he was about to swing one hand at me, I immediately dodged and kicked him in the lower body. Hmph, if this princess's whip is still there, it will definitely kill you.
I ran before he could catch up with him with a stick.
"Stop!"
I grimaced at him behind me, it was so much fun to be so angry and ruined! I ran to a crowded place, and I didn't know if the men had planted some kind of internal response in the market, and several strong men were eyeing me. Suddenly the man led them in front of me, and I wanted to turn around and run, but a group of strong men appeared behind me. What a damn one! I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today!
"Helpβ" All I can do now is shout for help.
I didn't expect that shouting for help could really attract people.
"Hold these people up!" Familiar voices sounded in my ears, and I saw the soldiers surrounding those strong men. Chen Feng was riding on a horse in civilian clothes, and when he saw me, he dismounted.
"Star and Moon girl? Yesterday you were in a hurry, and I haven't even said hello to you," he said to the soldiers, "bring them all to the county hall." β
"That's them! They are human traffickers, and they want to sell me to an old man as a little wife! I pointed angrily at the men, and the man fell to the ground in surprise and remorse and lowered his head.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl." Take! β
So the soldiers escorted the traffickers out of the crowd, and the streets were restored to their previous appearance.
I bowed my hand to him and said with a smile: "Thank you for the rescue, why are you alone?" "Actually, I want to ask him why he didn't follow Li Tiao, or what Li Ti did.
He replied as if he understood my heart: "General Li and the emperor still have important matters to discuss, and they can't come back for the time being, so I came to guard the Beijing division on behalf of the general." β
I nodded and said, "I'll take you to a good place!" It seems to be called some kind of flavor soil pavilion, although the name is a bit strange, but the sauce beef there is delicious! β
Chen Feng gladly accepted, and I took him with me. But I can't find it after going around for a long time, it's so big, don't you have to go around for a few days and nights to find it? This is the third time we've walked back to this place, and I don't dare to run around, so I'll just look for it according to my impressions.
I scratched my head embarrassedly and said, "Uh...... Or let's find a random place......"
"Which one did the girl say?" He pointed me in the direction, and the three big words of "Weitu Pavilion" came into my eyes, and I patted my head, and I didn't even notice it so close, it was so stupid!
"That's right, that's right, it's Weitu Pavilion!"
When we finally arrived in front of this attic, Chen Feng suddenly turned around and said to me with a stiff expression: "This ...... It should be read as a tastehouse. β
"Huh? Oh, so that's it, huh...... I thought the two horizontal lines were the same, no matter how long or short they were......" I smiled awkwardly at him, and he smiled back politely without saying anything.
The words of the Central Plains are really troublesome! I repeated these two words in my mind several more times.
When I entered the Taste Pavilion, a mouth-watering aroma quickly whetted my appetite, and I slapped the table and said, "We're going to have two plates of beef in sauce, two shaved lamb bones, two bowls of milk gnocchi, and the best wine you've ever had!" β
"The girl likes to eat these things?" Chen Feng asked me suddenly.
I poured my tea and replied, "That's not it, that's what I've loved since I was a kid!" He took the tea I poured for him, "Also, since we have already eaten at the same table, you are my friend, so you don't need to call me that from girls in the future, just call me Xingyue." β
"Okay, Miss Xingyue."
"...... "I'm embarrassed, Chen Feng must have been suppressed by Li Di's side for too long, and he usually retains these habits when he speaks."
I told him about what happened last night.
He asked with a serious face, "Can you see clearly, that boy is wearing a black robe with a python tattoo?" β
I looked puzzled: "Yes, the thing I hate the most is something like snakes, I can't be mistaken, I wonder how anyone likes to embroider such annoying things on clothes." Still, what's wrong? Could it be that you know him? Or some relative of yours? He shook his head and drank a glass of wine.
"It's the first time I've seen men who look even more seductive than women, why don't they go and find a serious errand to do, and they have to learn from women to sell rouge and clothes here."
"They were not merchants selling rouge and clothes, some did not like women, but they liked men, but the ethics of the Tsunade could not be overcome, so they came here to have fun. In short, it is better not to go near this kind of place in the future, and if you go out on the street alone, it is best to dress up as a man, so that you may be able to avoid some unnecessary dangers. β
"Oh......" I nodded as if I didn't understand, and something suddenly came to mind, "can you tell me about all the new and interesting things in the palace?" Isn't there a big garden, and there are so many beautiful concubines? β
He thought about it carefully and said, "There are no new and interesting things, and the imperial garden that Miss Xingyue said is just a group of fake flowers, and as for the concubines, they are just like those flowers." β
Chen Feng can always make people speechless.
"That'...... Is there a place in the palace where you can see the history of various dynasties? "I've finally finished nibbling on a shaved lamb bone.
"The girl should be talking about the Tibetan Scripture Building, but this place is not accessible to ordinary people," he looked at the sky outside, "It's not too early, now Chen Feng has to go on patrol, thank you Miss Xingyue for the wine and food today, Chen Feng will invite the girl back in the future." β
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you go!"
That is to say, there is a prehistory of the Huan Dynasty in the scripture building.
He nodded and left, he had been absent-minded since I had told him about the boy, and it seemed that something important had happened. Now I'm left alone.
If I don't plan to do it again, I'm going to have a northwest wind tonight.
Out of the Wei Shi Pavilion, some children suddenly appeared, holding a pile of paper in their arms, running and pulling out a piece of paper to wave in the air, shouting: "Jiangnan Pharmacy is looking for someone!" Jiangnan Pharmacy is looking for someone! β
I picked up a piece of paper that had fallen on the ground, as if to say that I was going to recruit someone? Isn't this a big pie, I found it! When did God have such eyes?
I pulled a child and asked me for the direction of the pharmacy, and the child pointed me in that direction.
This alley is relatively clean, and at the end of it is Jiangnan Pharmacy. I stopped, the pharmacy looks quite big, just a few big trees planted in front of it, and two stone lions have been erected, you can see its magnificence, it is definitely not the kind of small pharmacy that can be seen everywhere on the street.
The door opened, and an old man dressed in a big dress with two long beards came out. When he saw me, he raised his eyebrows, looked me from beginning to end, and then asked, "What is your surname, and how is your age?" β
I smiled and said, "Xingyue, that is, the stars and the moon in the sky, I am sixteen this year." β
"Come with me." The old man said hoarsely in a low voice, with an unquestionable tone.
"Hey, uncle, don't you want to ask me what I'm here for?" I ran up and followed him.
The old man held his waist with one hand, as if he was talking to himself: "Look at this appearance and tone, it is probably the old man's uneasy words." Don't you know, he ran to the old man as early as a month or two ago, and exchanged the jade pendant that the old man and I fancied him, saying that when Li Jiajun returned triumphantly, a woman would come to Shangdu and ask me to take care of it, and specially instructed the old man to spend twenty copper coins in vain in the past two days to let these yellow-headed children run around the street, saying that this woman would definitely see it. The old man originally planned to go to the street by himself to beat gongs and drums to find someone, which is really disturbing......"
