Chapter 25: Leaving Yuechang
Liuyun came to the west according to Jia Feng's instructions. www.biquge.info At this time, the workers were working hard to load the wagon, and it seemed that the convoy was not far away.
Liuyun found Wei Ping among the crowd, and said that it was not true, that Wei Ping's physical characteristics were too easy to recognize, he was less than six feet short, with a hunched back, and a pair of small eyes on his thin face, and his overall image was reminiscent of an animal-mouse. Such a "flock of chickens and cranes", it is difficult for Liuyun to find it.
Looking at Wei Ping in front of him, Liuyun wanted to laugh a little, but he still held back, first, he was disrespectful to people, and second, he had to rely on him to go home. He adjusted his mentality and asked politely: "This is Wei Ping's leader?" My name is Liuyun, and I was introduced by Boss Jia, can I follow your caravan?"
"Oh, Boss Jia introduced it, so naturally it's no problem. But you can't ride in vain, five taels of silver, and you will be allowed to join us. Wei Ping's shrewd little eyes rolled and said in a whimsical manner.
"This..."Liuyun can be described as shy and penniless. Guan Ling's family once gave him some money but was rejected by him "high-spirited", now that he thinks about it, he really wants to slap himself twice at that time, he has nothing to learn and be a good person without asking for anything in return, and now he is dumbfounded. Having said that, I'm afraid that if he does it again, he will still choose to refuse it, because this is his Liuyun's character.
"No money to talk about!" Wei Ping saw that he was struggling for a long time, a little impatient, and directly gave an ultimatum.
"I can help, can't I do this?" Liuyun couldn't think of where to make money quickly, and he didn't want to ask Guan Ling and the others for it, so he proposed a way to sell his labor.
When Wei Ping heard this, he glanced at him and said with a little disdain: "What can you do with your thin arms and legs?" Okay, don't disturb my work. ”
Liuyun was anxious and angry when he heard this, and he was a little at a loss in place, not knowing how to convince Wei Ping. I looked around and saw that there were some sandbags around, and I had an idea in my mind, so I ran over.
When Wei Ping saw him leaving, he didn't think much about it, turned around and went on to do things. At this time, Liuyun galloped back in a hurry, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Team leader Wei Ping, is this feasible?"
This chant brought the attention of everyone nearby, and Wei Ping was no exception. When he saw the scene in front of him, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
I saw a young man holding two sandbags with one arm, and his expression was extremely relaxed. You must know that the sandbag weighs forty pounds, and two of them are eighty pounds. It is not easy for a strong man in the prime of life to lift a bag, let alone two bags, and it is one-handed. How can this scene not be jaw-dropping.
In the shocked expressions of gasping around him, Liuyun slowed down, came to Wei Ping indifferently, looked at him condescendingly, and calmly said from his mouth: "Is it okay now?"
"Yes, yes. Wei Ping was stunned, only nodding vigorously.
With a "bang", the heavy object fell to the ground, but it was Liuyun who effortlessly threw two bags of sand to the ground.
Seeing this, Wei Ping understood that he had lost his eyes, this was a poor sour boy with a good appearance, but a master who was deeply hidden. Recalling how offended he was just now, he must have offended him, and hurriedly put on a flattering face, and exclaimed like a remedy: "It's really worthy of being a hero from ancient times! ”
"Hmph, I know that the master is amazing. But I don't remember the villain, so I'll forgive you this time. "Liuyun belongs to the type that shines when he gives a little sunshine, and when others praise him, it is easy to climb up the pole, and his smug expression at this moment is the best proof.
"That's, that's. Liu Shaoxia is the most wise and martial, your mind is wider than the sea, and your belly can support the boat..."Wei Ping can be regarded as the best of seeing the wind and making the rudder, giving full play to the shameless spirit of patting the horse, and a set of rhetoric makes Liuyun so that he can't find the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
After a while, seeing that Liuyun didn't bother himself, Wei Ping wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was not scared, but he was ashamed of himself, and even he felt a little embarrassed when he praised himself. It's also that he is usually used to talking about people when he sees people, and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, otherwise he really can't do this kind of pretentious thing.
After revealing the previous matter, Wei Ping looked at Liuyun with sincerity in his eyes, and said respectfully: "Liu Shaoxia, I sincerely invite you to join our team. All meals and accommodation on the road, after arriving in Luoshui County, I will pay you ten taels of silver, I only hope that you can escort us during the trip, what do you think?"
It turned out that Wei Ping saw that Liuyun was talented, so he had the idea of asking him to be a guard. The road from Xuzhou to Cheongju is not smooth, and sometimes you will encounter bandits, so every time you carry goods, you have to hire some guards in the team. If the goods are valuable, they will hire a special dart master, but the cost is too high to outweigh the losses, so they usually just hire some ordinary guards.
In addition to Liuyun, Wei Ping also hired ten people on this trip, plus the original twenty or so people in the team, even if he encountered a small group of bandits, he could pass safely. Now with the addition of a flowing cloud, it is even more secure. Wei Ping's small abacus clanged.
On the other side, Liuyun was quite moved when he heard Wei Ping's proposal, but he was a little unhappy when he remembered his domineering appearance before, even if he couldn't get rid of that bad first impression even if he was a sycophant.
Since you love money so much, this time it will make you bleed more. While Liuyun was thinking like this, he had a sunny smile on his face, raised two fingers, and raised the price with a smile: "Twenty taels, otherwise don't talk about it!"
"It's... Twenty taels is indeed too much, can you see less?" Wei Ping rubbed his hands together with a look of embarrassment.
"Huh, you mean I'm not worth twenty taels?" Liuyun raised his tone and shook his fist.
"No, no, great value for money, no, it's a strange commodity. Wei Ping kept nodding. He hadn't forgotten that it was that white arm that easily lifted the eighty-pound sandbag. If it falls on his small body this time, I'm afraid I will have to go directly to the underworld to report.
"It's not good to compare people to commodities. But for the sake of your sincerity, I don't care. Liuyun furrowed her delicate eyebrows, pretending to be dissatisfied and reluctant to accept it.
"Then thank you for your understanding. Wei Ping's face was full of smiles, showing his flattering ability. Then he arched his hand and congratulated: "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
"Yes, nice to work with. Liuyun also replied lightly. In fact, the heart has blossomed early, this time not only achieved the original goal, but also pitted the annoying Wei Ping twenty taels, and suddenly felt that the world was so beautiful.
And is Wei Ping on the other side really smiling? The answer is yes, the first ten taels is the price he pressed, and the lowest ones he hired to protect him also got fifteen taels, twenty taels is really not high, it is better to say that it only cost twenty taels to find a fierce man like Liuyun, and he still thinks that he has earned it.
Seeing Liuyun turn around and want to leave, Wei Ping hurriedly shouted: "Liushaoxia, we will leave at noon in the afternoon, and we will gather here at noon, don't forget!"
"Don't worry, I've got it. Liuyun waved his hand behind his back, signaling that he understood. After that, his figure slowly disappeared into the crowd.
Looking at his back, Wei Ping shook his head and continued with his business.
......
Liuyun returned to Guan Ling's house, looked at the moss-covered wall, and had mixed feelings for a while: I didn't expect to have to leave after staying here for less than two days.
At this time, Guan Ling walked out of the room and happened to meet Liuyun who came back, and both of them were a little silent for a while. Guan Ling couldn't see her expression clearly, while Liuyun was looking embarrassed with her eyes fluttering.
After a while, it was Guan Ling who took the lead in opening her mouth, and she said softly: "Lunch is ready." After that, he left, leaving only a beautiful back for Liuyun.
Seeing this, Liuyun stroked his nose and followed awkwardly, his stomach was really hungry.
Afterwards, lunch was spent in this depressive atmosphere. In this regard, Liuyun didn't know how to mobilize the atmosphere, so he could only be silent.
After the meal, Yiren had left, Liuyun looked at the plate of fruits and vegetables on the table, and couldn't help but secretly praise this Guan Ling is really a woman with a blue heart, but unfortunately she can't be her lover.
With a sigh, he threw away these melancholy and returned to the firewood room with the food...
After Xiaoli finished eating, Liuyun put the knife on and left the firewood room with Xiaoli. As he walked, he considered whether to say hello to Guan Ling. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to let it go.
"Knock", Liuyun knocked on her door.
"It's coming. A beautiful female voice came, and then a beautiful face appeared in front of Liuyun's eyes.
Seeing that the person who came was Liuyun, Guan Ling's expression was slightly unnatural, and she asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Well, my animal skin clothes are too eye-catching, so let's change them into this suit. Liuyun wanted to say it bluntly, but when he saw the jade face that was close at hand, he turned around when he reached the words of his mouth.
"Oh, it doesn't hurt to give you this dress. If nothing happens, I rest. After Guan Ling finished speaking, she wanted to close the door and thank the guests.
"Wait. Liuyun stretched out his hand to prop up the door of the house, and immediately answered: "I'm leaving..."
Hearing this, Guan Ling's delicate body was shocked, and she asked in a trembling voice, "When?"
“... Right away. Liuyun pondered for a while, but still answered truthfully.
"So fast..."Guan Ling raised her head suddenly, her eyes slightly red, and her face was full of disbelief. She had expected that Liuyun would one day be far away, but she didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
Liuyun looked at the sad Guan Ling, and didn't know what to say, so he could only reply softly: "En." ”
Guan Ling didn't answer, just looked at Liuyun in a daze, and felt sorry in her heart: You are really like your name, unpredictable and unreachable. Is this love affair going to wither before it blossoms? It's just that at the end of this, I want you to remember that there was once such a woman who liked you, Brother Yun...
Trying not to let the tears fall, Guan Ling showed the most beautiful smile of her life. The atmosphere of that moment is like a hundred flowers blooming, which is dazzling. She is so beautiful at this moment that this world is overshadowed. She doesn't want the other party to accept her suddenly, she just wants to keep the best side of herself in his heart.
And Liuyun on the opposite side couldn't help but be intoxicated for a moment when he saw this scene. When he came back to his senses, he responded with a bright smile.
The breeze blew, lifted her hair, blinded her eyes, and looked at the person who was gradually drifting away, Guan Ling finally couldn't help it and shed tears. She covered her lips so hard that she didn't let out a whisper. She just wanted the other party to remember her smile, and she didn't want him to hear the cry and look back at her tears.
The wind did not stop, the shadow gradually subsided, but Guan Ling did not want to go back to the room, just stood in place stupidly...
