Chapter Eighty-Nine

(Bitter reading) When I first came to this Guangshunhe, everyone was also very good to her, and there was no disdain for her, but there was always a little casualness, but since the loss of tin can medicine tea and Spring Festival medicine was reduced, Guangshun and the medicine store looked up and down at her eyes finally changed, and there was a little more respect in the atmosphere, and those big and small stewards, in addition to respect, there was also a little flattery.

There are fewer and fewer people who call her eldest sister, and more and more people call her Miss Liu or Liu Medicine Cabinet.

Liu Meibao smiled and thanked the steward, she was not tired, but just about to think about the appraisal just now, she walked to the room as she said.

"Mrs. Shi, pour hot water for the girl...."The steward saw Mrs. Shi walking by tremblingly, still carrying a kettle in her hand, and hurriedly shouted.

"I'm going." Shi Pozi said with a smile.

The eyes did not deliberately look at Liu Meibao more, and there was no superfluous look on his face, although there was the fact of delivering the letter, but Mrs. Shi treated Liu Meibao no differently, like other fellow masters, there was no excessive enthusiasm and no rude gaze, if it was not for a letter to send, she tried her best to avoid appearing next to Liu Meibao.

After all, this kind of immoral thing, if the two of them face each other, it will be very embarrassing, so if they don't see each other, Liu Meibao really feels a lot more relaxed.

Seeing Mrs. Shi walking into the house, Liu Meibao's footsteps deliberately slowed down, pretending to watch the two guys on the side divide the medicine.

After a while, Mrs. Shi came out and walked away without speaking.

Liu Meibao walked into the house at this time, and her first sight fell on the table, but she didn't see the letter pressed under the tea bowl in the past, only a bowl of hot tea steaming up.

I haven't written a letter for a few days....Did I go out again?

Liu Meibao sat down. Slowly caressing the tea bowl and thinking, I mentioned in the last few letters, since that time after the killing of horse thieves, I have been rewarded, and I have also won military merits, although there is no imaginary promotion, which makes everyone a little disappointed in the bottom of my heart, but it is a fact that the health center in Wenxi County, Fushan Fort, Jiexiu and other places have asked Lu Yan to help kill the local bandits.

Lu Yan's subordinate Hezhongyi was originally going to refuse, and this kind of transfer of troops to assist was the most thankless money-losing deal. But Lu Yan agreed.

"Taizu Yan set up an inspection in Guanjin, briefly, to detect treachery and hypocrisy, to be happy with the people and the people, and there is no difficulty in business travel...."Lu Yan found a sentence after the master flipped through the official documents for a few days and nights, and accurately said to the commander who prevented him from sending troops.

The commander made the adults look stunned. I didn't expect this reckless man, who was said to be illiterate, to say such things, and even he didn't know that Taizu had said this.....

"You are the Salt Patrol Division, and you are specially located in Xie County. If you leave our Hedongyi and go to another place, you will cross the line, if this is known by the above. I'm afraid that it won't be easy to explain..."The commander is still concerned about his subordinates, and it is necessary to remind him that this is not a good errand.

"Kill thieves and bandits. It is the duty of my inspection department to eliminate violence and ensure the safety of local fathers and elders...."Lu Yan said with a solemn face.

These words made the adult roll his eyes when he had already lost his enthusiasm and just wanted to ask the old commander for peace.

"Salt soldiers are also soldiers, soldiers defend the country and protect the people, so let's go." The adults above opened their mouths, and no one at the bottom stopped them, anyway, they didn't need to be provided by the guard, so with a wave of their big hands, they opened the way, and let this group of hot-blooded fools go.

And that's what the scene says. Liu Meibao didn't know, what she knew was only what Lu Yan said in the letter.

“… When I was a child, my brother and I were always bullied, and we always couldn't beat others in the first fight. Later, my brother said that he had to fight too, and he beat too much. Naturally, I can fight, I want not to be beaten, I want to fight better than others, I think the only way to go out to fight with these people is moreover, and I heard that those horse thieves are quite rich..."

When she saw this letter, Liu Meibao hid in the quilt and laughed internally, she felt for the first time that she said this sentence in blunt and straightforward words, how could she feel a little deliberately pretending to be stupid, how to say a word on it, black belly? Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

Although Lu Yan felt a little rough in the letter and in those few short meetings and conversations, in fact, how could he be a stupid person.

"Don't lose yourself in order to get rich." Liu Meibao muttered to herself in her heart, frowning slightly, a little worried, those bandits have been entrenched in the local area for some time, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, and the serious officers and soldiers can't control it, can they be an irregular army started by a group of smuggler salt dealers?

It's not a fight between children, it's a life-and-death battle with real knives and guns.

"Isn't it very profitable to sell salt? What are you still tossing around like this! She muttered, took a sip of tea, and was a little uneasy, and couldn't think about the appraisal of the documents, so she simply got up and walked out, and when she went home, she deliberately made a detour to the government office, hoping that she might hear some news, but of course she found nothing.

When he got home, Zhou Liangyu came back early unexpectedly, because the firewood at home ran out, so he bought it from the tile market and brought the firewood over.

Now their brother and sister naturally don't have to do the work of chopping wood and chopping firewood, they all bought it from the tile market and had someone send it over.

Liu Meibao was very happy to see him, the words of the bezoar owner kept circling in her mind, she always felt that she should grab something, this feeling was the same as the flash of inspiration when she listened to the steward talking about the wooden tea pot that day, but she didn't know where to remember.

There are a lot of various appraisals in modern society, but they are also very chaotic, and those that can be recognized by people cannot be said to be no, only not much, and Liu Meibao does not know how to operate this industry, but her intuition tells her that if she does it well, this is another way for her to make money, and it can make her career development to a higher level.

But the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, so she pulled Zhou Liangyu and said that she was writing and painting, and asked him to analyze it together, and Zhou Liangyu listened carefully.

"I think it's doable." He nodded, thoughtful, but also frowned slightly, "But, as you said, sister, if those people are treacherous and use your appraisal documents to deceive others, then we will definitely be greatly implicated..."

Liu Meibao nodded.

"It's late today, let's talk about it tomorrow, don't forget that you have to go to the temple tomorrow to add sesame oil." Song Sanniang was making shoes under the lamp, listening to their brothers and sisters talking lively, although they couldn't understand what was said, but they felt very happy, and they reminded them when they saw that it was not early.

The coffins of Liu Meibao's parents were stored in a temple outside Xie County, and they had to pay respects and visit the monks in the temple every once in a while.

"Let's think about it again." There are a lot of things to say today, Liu Meibao said with a smile, so they all went to sleep.

The spring is bright, the gloom of the cold winter is gone, standing on the city gate tower, you can see the green field from a distance, the soft spring breeze blowing, the gate soldiers who guard the city feel very comfortable.

Three or five held spears, leaned against the city wall, talking lively, while looking at the people entering the city, when they met a woman coming, they couldn't help but point their fingers and comment, and a strange laugh broke out from time to time on the city tower.

As the sun rises, the flow of people coming in and out is getting denser.

"I'm having a treat today, what do you want to eat? I ....." One of the guards stretched and grinned.

When he said this, he casually looked at the field outside the city gate, and suddenly froze, and the rest of his words were stuck.

"You kid should have had a treat, and won me so much money..."The other guards also stood up straight, copied the soil on their bodies, and said with a smile, noticing the strange appearance of the previous speaker, they all looked over, and when they saw that he was stunned, they all reached out and beat him, "It's not a big talk, why don't you say it...."

The previous guard's face turned pale, his whole body trembled like chaff, and his eyes were still staring at the field.

"Tartar... The Tartars are coming! He suddenly let out a hoarse shout.

These words frightened everyone, and at the same time, they looked at his line of sight, only to see that in the northwest direction, there was a beam of wolf smoke rising straight up, which was particularly eye-catching and dazzling in the fresh spring sky.

"Hurry up and light the fuck wolf smoke!! Bang Bang Zi!! Immediately, several people came back to their senses and shouted loudly and hoarsely.

Soon, a terrible bang sounded from the tower of the city gate, followed by a thick cloud of smoke.

"Close the gates! Close the gates! Everyone shouted loudly.

The crowded city gate was chaotic for a while, and everyone ran desperately into the city, and the murderous Tartars plundered, and only the town with strong walls was the safest place.

As this beam of wolf smoke rose, wolf smoke continued to rise on the flat and vast field, and the news had been transmitted, and the road was filled with crowds of people running and crying, and everyone's goal was the gate of the city with cannons.

But there are still many people running over, the drawbridge is pulled up, the city gate is closed, and countless people crying and begging gather under the city gate, but for the well-trained city gate guards, they will never open the door under such circumstances.

"How many people? Where did it come from? Where are they now? The prefect who got the news rushed to the city gate as soon as possible and asked with a pale face.

"There was a cannon shot, and the smoke from it was a bunch." The guard replied.

The cannon sound and wolf smoke are all in various forms to express various meanings, just like flag words.

"That's dozens of people.." The prefect's expression softened slightly, twenty or thirty Tartars, for the city, it was not a threat, "Where did you come from?" Where is it at this time? ”

"Northwest," the guards observed for a moment, looking at the wolf smoke rising from the northwest direction, "it should be in Xie County." ”

The people outside the city gate knew that there was no hope of entering the city, and some of them fled elsewhere, but there were still some old and weak women and children who still regarded this place as a support, crying and refusing to leave, and when they cried outside the city and learned that the adults were upset, there was also a commotion inside the city gate.

"Open the door! Open the door! My kids are still outside! A woman screamed, with hysterical madness. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
