Chapter 198: Flowers Fall, People Scatter, and Thieves Respond at the Right Time
Di Jinyan sat on the table as soon as she stumbled on her legs, holding the cup in one hand and the vegetables in the other, and poured it straight into her mouth. When I ate the wine and food, I screamed a vague word 'cool' almost at the same time.
Seeing Di Jinyan's embarrassed appearance, the shopkeeper was almost shocked and almost stared at two big eyes, but fortunately, Di Jinyan's ears listened to the magic skills of the eight directions and reminded her that there was a shopkeeper in the room. She swept over the shopkeeper almost at the same time, signaling him to go out. As soon as she had taken two or three steps, she muttered as if she remembered something again. "Come back, remember to help the uncle prepare a bucket of hot water, I have eaten the bag, I have drunk enough, I want to take a hot bath, and then sleep well, don't worry about the grandfather tomorrow."
The shopkeeper got the order, and he was so frightened that he quickly slipped away. As soon as he closed the door, he seemed to deliberately push it open again, and glanced in in a daze, as if he was secretly jealous in his heart, intentionally or unintentionally. "Mom, what about your virtue or the official of the lieutenant battalion? I'm a wicked thief! As long as you don't scream and don't make noise, it's better for Lao Tzu to mess with you less. With that, he closed the door, turned around and walked out of the backyard of the guest room, ready for hot water.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Di Jinyan in the room immediately changed her gentle face. After all, she has always been a daughter, although she dresses up more for men for her convenience when she walks the rivers and lakes, but now she is the only one left in the whole room, so naturally there is no need to be so harsh and difficult for herself. At this time, you can occasionally indulge it, and the delicate and gentle that a pretend woman should have.
Half an hour later, the shopkeeper finally knocked on the door outside the room and said that it was open. "Official, the hot water you always wanted, the small one has been delivered. You're alright, I'm in. ”
After a while, the shopkeeper heard Di Jinyan's heavy, seemingly drunken whisper from the room.
"Come in, I'll be fine."
"Put the water down, and you'll go out."
"None of you should bother me without my greeting."
"Don't you understand, otherwise, don't blame the official, I'm not polite to you."
The shopkeeper pushed the door to fetch water and came in, and when he saw it, Di Jinyan seemed to be drunk and smoky, and he fell directly on the table. Two hands, one hand still holding the wine jug tightly, and the other hand still tremblingly holding the sprinkler cup poured on the table, but after several attempts to no avail.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and said. "Official, why are you doing this? Drunk yourself. As he spoke, he sighed and wanted to come up and help.
Immediately, Di Jinyan was drunk with that strong drunkenness, waving his hand and squirting. "Xiao, Xiaoer, you, don't worry about it, hurry up and clean up all these scraps. No, it's okay, don't bother me. ”
The shopkeeper was said a few words by Di Jin Yanxun for no reason, and the fiery mood that had just sprung up was immediately extinguished. I had to laugh at myself, just as what this official said was all drunk nonsense. After cleaning up the messy dishes on the table, he silently withdrew.
When the shopkeeper left with the door, Di Jinyan immediately became active again. She poured a bucket of hot water into the tub, surrounded her, and slowly soaked her clothes in the water.
It is said that Liu Zhi'er traveled thousands of miles to come to Gulan Town, and only wanted to meet Li Qiusheng's kid before the execution of the official office, but it backfired and ended up without a problem.
A few days later, on the mountain road within a radius of 100 miles from Gulan Town, Liu Zhi'er had already taken the three of them back in the old carriage. Old Man Dong pressed his wrinkled face of vicissitudes of life, rode his tired yellow horse, and followed him slowly.
The little girl in Tsing Yi was rolled up in the carriage, and leaned over to lift the curtain next to her, staring at the old man Dong next to her with two black eyes for no reason. It was as if the blurry light in her eyes was like a vivid imagination of not Old Man Dong but herself sitting on the back of the yellow horse.
The wind of the setting sun has some chill, but the high sun shines sparsely on the vast earth, the shadows of the trees are slanted, and the sound of horses on the ancient road always seems to have a taste of resentment.
The five of them walked for a long time between the mountain road and Pingchuan, and the old man Dong suddenly hit his horse and looked forward, turned back and said to Liu Zhi'er in the car. "Old lady, the sun has arrived, and the curtain is approaching, see if we can find a nearby village or a hill in a high pit to rest."
Liu Zhi'er lifted the curtain from the car, poked out half of her head and looked at it and said. "The old man is in charge of you, you have long been familiar with these things about going to the village, what do I know about an old woman and two little girls? We'll listen to you all along the way. ”
Old Man Dong suddenly smiled bitterly, "Old lady, you are making fun of me." Brother Zhang is the master of this way? I'll have to talk to him. ”
"Hey, old man, since you have an idea, then do it yourself, my wife doesn't care about this, it took so long to meet you, I have to relax now." A trace of bitterness flashed across Liu Zhi'er's face, and she immediately screamed and went back.
The carriage walked around on the mountain road for a while, and seeing that the old man Dong who went to explore the road had not yet rushed back, the sunset at dusk was close to a moment, as if it was about to disappear in an instant.
Zhang Laobao, who was driving the car, immediately reined in the horse's head and said to Liu Zhi'er in the car in fear. "Shopkeeper Liu, the old man has been out for a while, and he hasn't seen the horse come back until now, can't it be that something went wrong on the road ahead? Shall we catch up and have a look? ”
Liu Zhi'er closed her eyes slightly in the car, and suddenly heard Zhang Laobao say this, and hurriedly replied through the carriage. "Hey, Brother Zhang, you said that this is true, this old man will not come back as soon as he goes. If you think we're dragging him down, let's just say it, just make some important small moves in these barren mountains and mountains. ”
After a moment of silence, Liu Zhi'er sighed again. "Hey, I don't know what this old man Dong thinks in his heart. When we came, it wasn't so difficult, but when we were going back, it seemed that all the difficulties in the world were pressing on us. Do you think we're recruiting someone to provoke someone? ”
Before the two of them could finish speaking, they only heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing and the chaotic shouting of many people in front of them. Then he saw a lone horse galloping in front of him, and he muttered loudly from a distance. "Old sister, shopkeeper Liu, go, go, the robbers are here." And the horsemen who were left behind were desperately beating their horses to catch up, and there seemed to be a few bright single knives in their hands.
Liu Zhi'er leaned out of the car and took a look at it, and Zhang Laobao suddenly said in a panic. "Shopkeeper Liu, it's not good, I'm afraid that we will really meet a robber this time. You see that Old Man Dong is about to be chased by those thieves, let's hurry back. ”
Hearing Zhang Laobao's nervous tone, Liu Zhi'er was startled when she stared, and she hurriedly returned to the car and muttered. "Woe, woe, bandits are coming. Brother Zhang, let's run away, don't make trouble for Old Man Dong. ”
Zhang Laobao also seemed to have realized the intention of Old Man Dong to run all the way, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to beat the horse and escape. It was too late, it was too soon, and in the midst of this lightning flash, the few strong bandits in front of them surrounded them and blocked their retreat.
I saw that the old man Dong immediately reined in the reins of the horse, and the horizontal horse stood in front of the carriage, cursing angrily at the robber bandit who was chasing after him with a single knife, and at the same time shouted to Zhang Laobao, who was driving behind. "Brother Zhang, you guys go quickly. Leave me alone, I'll cut it off. With that, he clamped his legs hard, picked up a leafy twig on the side of the road, and rushed towards the robbers and thieves who were in pursuit.
Liu Zhi'er lifted the curtain and looked, and when she saw this scene, she was so frightened that she immediately cried out in sorrow. "Old man, come back, don't do this, let's escape together."
However, at this time, the old man Dong, who was carried away by the robbers and thieves, could still hear Liu Zhi'er's pathetic words, and he had already rushed up to scuffle with those robbers and thieves who were pressing up.
There was a chaos in front, and the bandits who were chasing after them rushed over and surrounded Liu Zhi'er and others, who were about to turn the horse's head. From time to time, there were bursts of messy and arrogant screams, like a pack of hungry wolves and tigers, with a delicate blue greedy light in their eyes, and in an instant they pounced on a weak and powerless sheep.
Although Liu Zhi'er was brave enough to accompany her in the carriage, the childish little girl in Tsing Yi and Wu Feng were still frightened by the scene in front of them. And the robbers and thieves who kept circling around them around the carriage were even more like victorious demonic beasts, and the prey around their mouths showed even more arrogant faces, sometimes spinning around and screaming loudly, and then leaning over and lifting the curtain to pull people.
Although the old man Dong in front of him has some martial arts, but under the trap of people, if he wants to save people from these arrogant gangsters and thieves in front of him with his own strength, it is a pipe dream in vain. After a few struggles and resistance, Old Man Dong was tripped and fell by four or five strong thieves with the hook of a lasso and a horse, and one or two strong thieves rushed up, tying Old Man Dong in an instant.
When a few strong bandits and thieves in front of him had cleaned up Old Man Dong, a middle-aged man who seemed to be a leader jumped off his horse, swaggered to the besieged carriage, suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look, and laughed. "Grandma, I still think that there are little guys in the car, and they can be caught and taken back to be a lady of the village? I don't want to be all old turtles and tender young buds, which really swept away the uncle's interest. ”
The thief leader was so chattering, the thieves next to him couldn't help laughing, and some noisy thieves suddenly sounded the kiss whistle, together with Zhang Laobao who set up the car, Liu Zhi'er and the four of them were firmly trapped by the thieves, and they couldn't move for a while.
