Chapter 027: The White Liar and the Cloth Cake (1)
As soon as I woke up, I heard a low "moo" sound, stretched my arms and came out of the house, and saw the old man Tao with his hands on his chest, a bullwhip on his chest, and sitting on the ox cart with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep. The bullock cart was very broken, as if it had been picked up from that pile of rubble.
"You can't steal this ox cart, do you?"
Walking to the front of the car, Bai Li stepped on it with his feet, and when he saw that the wooden board was quite strong, he sat down with confidence.
"Stealing secretly, just know how to use this stealing word, does your master and I look like I will be that kind of dirty person?" Old man Tao glanced at Bai Li: "Don't you say hello to your father?" ”
"I said it last night." Bai Li sat down with her baggage, and what came to her mind was the situation when she told her father and mother about it last night. His father didn't have any expression on his face, and her mother only symbolically shed a few tears, and as for her two brothers, they only thought about letting her come back and bring things, not empty-handed. It's a shame that she's not really Baili, if it's true, when she meets such a family, she will be angry.
"Where's the flower bell, is it invisible? Why didn't you see her. ”
"Here's it." Old man Tao patted the wine gourd on his body: "How inconvenient it is for such a big ghost to go out with it." Oh, hidden in my wine gourd, it is neither eye-catching nor easy to scare people. ”
Bai Li glanced at it and didn't say anything more.
The ox cart swayed for nearly a day, and just when Bai Li was about to be scattered, Huaxi Town finally arrived. But looking at the dilapidated city gate in front of him, Bai Lida felt a sense of disappointment from the bottom of his heart.
"This is Huaxi Town?"
"This is Huaxi Town." Old man Tao touched his belly: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, now the old Zhang family's noodle stall should be set up." ”
Bai Li was in no mood to complain about Old Man Tao's love of food, she just quietly looked at the dilapidated town in front of her. There is no imaginary traffic, nor is there an imaginary antique, and there are only the devastation left behind after the war in the Cold Weapon Age.
The city gate of Huaxi Town was burned black, not to mention, the key is that the city gate is still broken. The walls are also full of marks left by bows and arrows and flints. There were still some broken arrows left under the wall, and the arrows were stained with the blood that had flowed from that body. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of smoke and blood. Bai Li covered his nose hard, so that the smell that filled his nose was slightly lighter.
There were no soldiers guarding the gates, and the two gates were hidden. Old man Tao gave Bai Li a look, and Bai Li reluctantly jumped off the ox cart, and it took enough strength to push open the two hidden city gates.
The door was still a mess, but every house that could be seen by the eye was hung with white lanterns or strips of white cloth. As soon as the evening breeze blew, the white lanterns and strips of white cloth swayed in the wind. Huaxi Town doesn't look like a town, but like a magnified Yizhuang.
"Master, do you know where the master of the flower bell is? After such a great battle, she did not know that there was no one in her master's house. ”
"Someone, doesn't this book say that good people don't live long, and bad people live for a thousand years. Her lady and young master are alive and well. ”
"Books? Master, do you still read? Bai Li wrinkled her nose slightly: "Yes, let's go to the main house of Hualing first, if we are lucky, maybe we will even have a place to stay tonight." ”
"You're thinking well, are people willing to let you in?"
"Don't want to? If you don't want to, you can release the flower bells and bite them. Bai Li made a biting motion, and the old man Tao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why didn't I expect it." Yes, if they don't want to, let the flower bells out and bite them. ”
The owner of Hua Ling's family is surnamed Jiang, and before the war, he was in the cloth business, and there was a tailor shop and a garment shop in the town. I have to say that the people of the Jiang family are still very business-minded. This guest bought fabrics in the Jiang family's shop, and he could go to the Jiang family's tailor's shop to tailor the clothes, and if it was too troublesome, he could also go directly to the ready-to-wear shop to choose. This money, no matter how it is calculated, can fall into the pockets of their Jiang family.
Although the Jiang family is not rich and wealthy in Huaxi Town, it is also a little rich.
After walking along the main road in the center of the town, I saw the Jiang family's tailor shop that had been burned down. After passing a T-junction and turning a corner, I saw the Jiang family compound.
The walls of the Jiang family's compound are all made of blue bricks, and through the walls that are more than one person high, you can also see the trees planted in the yard. The gate was black, and the plaque on the door was broken and hung crookedly on it.
Bai Li was about to step forward and knock on the door, when he heard a noise behind the door.
"This lord, I'm telling the truth, something really happened in your family. Look at my hexagram, that is a great omen, your Jiang family will soon have evil spirits come to the door. Look at my charm again, this is a serious exorcism talisman, a tael of silver, pasted on the door, keep it safe. ”
"You dead liar, our lady called you here to show our young master the marriage, you are good, the marriage did not come out, and I was stunned to see the evil. If you don't, I'll kick you out of the door. ”
"Marriage? I've seen the marriage too. The man behind the door was still pestering: "I just said it in front of my wife." Your young master originally had a dewy marriage, but unfortunately, this marriage line was torn off by your wife. From now on, my young master will probably have to live alone. I heard that the Lushan Temple outside the city is recruiting monks, or ...... You help persuade your young master to become a monk, and maybe in this next life, you can pick up a marriage. ”
"If you talk nonsense, if you talk nonsense, I'll tear this mouth of yours. Get out, get out of our Jiang family. ”
As soon as the voice fell, a young man in white was kicked out of the door with the action of Steward Jiang opening the door, and he just hit Bai Li impartially.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm offended, the girl just saw it, it's not that I deliberately hit the girl, but that Steward Jiang behaved rudely, and he kicked Xiaosheng on the girl." When the young man in white got up, he also helped Bai Li up from the ground: "Otherwise, girl, you buy a talisman, keep the girl, you will drive away evil and avoid evil from now on, everything will go smoothly." ”
A yellowed charm was handed to Bai Li's eyes, followed by a harmless animal, with a somewhat bright smile, and a somewhat cute face in handsomeness.
"A penny. For this penny, you can't buy a bun, but you can buy peace for the rest of your life. Girl, don't you think it's a good deal? The young man in white said, and took out another talisman from his pocket: "If you don't think it's cost-effective or tight, I can give you another peach blossom talisman to ensure that your peach blossoms are blooming everywhere, and marriage is at your fingertips." ”
"Thanks, no!" Bai Li pulled the spell and slapped it directly on the forehead of the white-clothed young man: "If your spell works, you won't be kicked out of the Jiang family!" ”
