Chapter 26: Unease
Watching the three of them leave, the stall owner shook his head and smiled.
"It doesn't matter if you play really or fakely, just give the money..."He shook his head and hummed a little tune, turned around to put away the bamboo ring, and his eyes fell on the ground and he was startled.
"Good guys!" He exclaimed.
I saw that no less than ten of the winners of each class neatly arranged on the ground were all covered with bamboo circles, which were thrown by the young man at will.
"Good Fellows....." The stall owner couldn't help but raise his hand and touched his forehead, and sighed fearfully, "If this is really fun, I won't lose my old money today.....
Laughing again, he happily went to clean up the bamboo ring.
"What an idiot," he laughed incessantly, looking up at the thought of sharing the fun with the rest of the world.
As soon as I raised my hand, I realized that the atmosphere around me was not right, and the other people who had just been laughing and tidying up the stalls in the vicinity, or exchanging interesting stories about today's earnings, stood far away at some point, staring nervously at their side.
"What are you doing?" The stall owner stood up straight and waved at them, laughing and saying, "Did you see that idiot I came here just now, let me tell you, it's really funny.....
As soon as he said this, he saw that the crowd who were standing far away dispersed like birds and beasts, leaving him to raise his hands and laugh and freeze.
"What's going on? What the hell are you hiding...", he was confused.
"Let's go!" Finally, a kind-hearted person couldn't look at it, and while carrying his own belongings, he killed chickens and wiped his neck at him, "You are tired of living, that person is King Lu Yan, and he is a stupid ......."
He didn't dare to say the word stupid, so he bit his mouth and walked away.
"What is it? King Luyan? The stall owner didn't come back to his senses, muttered something in his mouth, and suddenly shivered, and then vaguely remembered the two big men who had just come over, with a cloth bag hanging from his waist, but the cloth bag was in the shape of a knife, and then remembered that the dress, it was not the group of smugglers on the salt pond beach in the east.
The smugglers in Yanchitan were originally just a group of poor country men, bullied by salt inspectors, blackmailed by salt dogs hired by Yanding, and engaged salt merchants in salt farms, pigs and dogs, but in the past two years, a person named Lu Erlang emerged, leading a group of people from Yanchitan to fight east and west, and the momentum became stronger and stronger.
This person is fierce and abnormal, and has killed countless people in just two years, and even the salt inspectors are frightened when they hear his name, not to mention going to investigate the illegal salt, and the illegal salt dealers in the salt pond beach have avoided it.
Not to mention how bloody and tragic the battle scenes with the salt dealers in other places were, let's just say that there was a salt man nicknamed Qingtouzhang in the previous paragraph, because he offended them, he was killed by a knife at the city gate in broad daylight, and he was still in front of the city gate guards.
"Lou... King Luyan...."The vendor stammered and reached out to give himself a big slap.
"My dear mother!" He stomped his feet, and simply didn't even want anything on the ground, and ran away.
Liu Meibao, who was walking all the way, stopped when she faintly saw Yong'an Village.
"Rest, rest," she said, panting, hunched over her knees, "I really can't walk..."
Qingya looked anxious, the hair curtain on her forehead was wet with sweat, and she reached out to grab her.
"Let's go, let's go, I'm not home yet," she said repeatedly, her voice full of panic.
Liu Meibao simply squatted on the ground and waved her hands.
"Didn't chase it... Don't run... I'm exhausted," she said, limply.
She has not gone as fast as today in her previous life and present life combined, and Liu Meibao, the delicate body of a golden girl, is about to fall apart.
Qingya's nerves were also stretched to the limit, and she couldn't help crying at this time.
"Girl. What is going on, girl...", she wiped her tears with her sleeve, "This damn disciple...."
What to do? There is no longer a sheltered high gate and deep courtyard, no more parents who shelter from the wind and rain, and no longer a status and power that everyone fears.... If it had been before, such disciples would have their eyes gouged out and their mouths broken on the spot without saying a word, but now the only thing they can do is to flee in a hurry.
Liu Meibao was also a little nervous, this young man appeared next to him so suddenly, how could there be such a coincidence, it can be seen that he must have been eyeing himself for a long time, maybe when he entered the city, maybe outside the pharmacy, in short, he must have done it deliberately, in this era of great defense between men and women, his behavior really has to be vigilant.
But when they turned away, he didn't follow, and he didn't look like such a scoundrel.
Sitting on the ground for a moment, watching Qingya crying, her emotions calmed down.
"What are you crying about, silly girl." She smiled and pulled down Qingya's arm, "What's there to cry about..."
"Girl, Naden disciple." Qingya said with tears in her eyes.
"It's not that there is nothing yet, even if you cry, you have to wait until something really happens..."Liu Meibao said with a smile.
Qingya screamed, and the cry was even louder.
"Wrong, I said it wrong.." Liu Meibao hurriedly wiped her with her sleeve, and whispered comforting while holding her shoulder, "Look, there is nothing bad about it, we are vigilant, just be careful to avoid it in the future, things are not so bad, don't mess up in your heart." ”
The two sat down on the edge of the ditch on the side of the road, and Liu Meibao comforted Qingya again and again.
Qingya is still sad because of the gap between the past and the present.
"Oh, okay, didn't you just get accosted.." Liu Meibao's mouth was dry, and she didn't have the patience to say more, after all, she really couldn't fully understand the psychology of women in this era, "Where you have to die or live... Walk, wipe away your tears, and go home to eat. ”
"Girl, you can still eat..." Qingya said with tears in her eyes.
"Actually, I should eat more." Liu Meibao pursed her lips and smiled.
If this is left in modern times, it is a matter of pride, and it is necessary to celebrate a little among the sisters.
"Girl!" Qingya's tears that were so easy to stop were about to fall again, and the girl was confused.
"Alright, let's go." Liu Meibao laughed and patted her on the shoulder, "There's nothing that can't be passed, let go, it's okay." ”
When they got home, they didn't say anything about it, Song Sanniang didn't pay attention to them at all, Zhou Liangyu found a short-term job in the big family in the next village, and every day when he came back, it was dark, and Qingya's crying and swollen eyes were not discovered by them.
"Brother, you'd better go dig medicine with me, don't do that." Early in the morning, Liu Meibao presented Zhou Liangyu with food, and when she saw his red and swollen shoulders, she frowned and said distressedly.
"It's okay, just do this paragraph, after the autumn harvest, I'll be idle, when the time comes, I'll dig medicine every day, sister, you can rest at home." Zhou Liangyu said with a smile, in fact, in his eyes, digging medicine is too leisurely, besides, he always feels that he is relying on his sister to support his family, and he is really unhappy as a man.
Liu Meibao naturally knew about his mentality, and sighed softly.
"Then I said it, after the autumn of the next few days, I am not allowed to go again, Qingya and I have little strength, and many medicinal materials can't be dug up." She said.
Zhou Liangyu nodded and said with a smile that I know.
