Chapter 42: Joy and Sorrow
Lingwa happily ran to the small alley with ten copper plates. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the way, he also calculated that ten copper plates would be more than for the old man, and he didn't have a few strings of sugar gourds in his basket, should I leave a little to go to the city for something to eat?
Are you about to come back and reason with the old man again?
But when he ran back to the alley, suddenly a thunderbolt from the sky made him dumbfounded.
Two old men, one selling sugar gourds and the other selling drums, are all gone?!
Lingwa suddenly felt a buzzing in her brain, and her eyes were dizzy, thinking,
"Oh my God, what should I do? Two old men tricked my horse—"
He clenched his fists in his hands and strode to the other end of the alley, looking around as he ran, not letting go of every drop. When I meet people, I ask,
"Have you seen two old men leading a big red horse?"
Passers-by shook their heads, and Lingwa was even more anxious and ran in the alley, thinking that I had to chase it out, and it would only take a while, and they wouldn't go far.
ran out of the alley in one breath, and still didn't see a shadow of a horse!
Thinking of the old fellow, who is scheming and prepared, I don't know where I would have hid in a corner? How could I follow the road like a fool? Besides, if they could ride a horse and run away on it, how could I catch up with me on two legs?
But it's impossible for me to search the entire alley from house to house? How can people let me search as a foreigner?
At the mouth of the alley, there were a few big trees with a waist thick, and Lingwa stood under the tree and sighed,
"Oh my god, what can I do about this?" After speaking, he hit the tree next to him with a fist, and the big tree shook violently, and the bark immediately fell off!
This fist made the two passers-by next to him see it, and they were taken aback, gave a thumbs up and praised it again and again, saying:
"Boy, awesome, awesome! Go over there and fight, make sure you're invincible!"
When Lingwa heard this, she was depressed and frenzied, and she ignored them.
I thought to myself, I still beat your mother a ghost -- the horses are all lost, how can Lao Tzu go back today? How can I go back to my family, and what will I take to pay back ten thousand gold treasures? How much is such a good horse worth? What will I pay back?
At the same time, I hate the people in the city even more, thinking that the first time Lao Tzu went out, the first time he entered the city, he met two old liars, and they knew that Lao Tzu was from out of town? Can you see it at a glance? I think these damn two old guys, it's better not to let me find them, if I find them, Lao Tzu will punch one by one, and send you directly to the western sky! It's so damn that M is hateful.
Thinking of this, he punched the tree next to him again, and another piece of bark flew away.
Passers-by saw Lingwa gritting her teeth, her eyebrows and angry eyes, and she didn't know what the situation was, so she didn't dare to say anything more to disturb, but only looked at it in confusion and walked away slowly.
The horse was lost, and on the horse's back was his sackcloth bag, which contained an axe, a sickle, a rope, and dry rations for noon, all of which were lost.
Lingwa clenched ten copper plates in his hand, disheartened, and regretted! He went back and forth along the alley several times, and after noon, he had no appetite, his stomach was bulging, and he was full of anger!
Seeing that the sun is in the west, it's almost afternoon, I can't help it, I think I have to go back quickly, the county is so big, I'm so small, I can't find it, I can only go back and talk about it-
So he called a carriage, and after bargaining, he took twenty copper plates as the fare, and the coachman promised to collect ten pieces first, and pay the other ten when he arrived.
He jumped into the car and urged the driver to hurry home!
After walking for a while, Lingwa saw that the speed of the car was slow, and the horses pulled broken cars, crawling like ants on the potholed dirt road, and at this speed, she had to run until tomorrow to get home, right?
I couldn't help but suggest to the coachman that the two of them should ride back on horseback to remove the heavy frame.
The coachman thought about it, and saw that Lingwa was only half the size, and there should be no malice in sitting behind him?
In this way, he ran all the way non-stop, and it was already dark when he ran back to Wanlai Town. When the lantern was propped up, Lingwa watched the coachman tired, the horses were hard, and he couldn't go back to the county seat, so he stayed at home for a night, and sent him back to the city early the next morning.
When he came back, he saw Leng Banxian, and Lingwa didn't dare to tell him about losing the horse! I had already thought about it on the road, and if the old man asked, he said that the horse had run back to the Wanjia compound by himself, and he gave it back to them!
But as soon as he heard that he had gone to the county seat, he invited a groom to send him back, he didn't bring any money, he hadn't eaten for a day, and his face was embarrassed - Leng Banxian had guessed a few points, and he didn't have much to say, and kept chattering:
"Providence, providence! Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, everything has just begun, and the road is still long!"
Lingwa didn't understand so much, and just thought that if Wan Jinbao asked me for a horse, then where would Lao Tzu get one for him--what others would do to me? I would do to him? I would ask me to pay me back, and a good horse like that would cost me a few dozen taels of silver.
Lao Tzu has not eaten or drunk for several years, and it is estimated that it is not enough - where can I afford it?
Early the next morning, I still went to Beishan to chop firewood and hunt!
Lingwa thought to herself that if she got a few big wild boars, or a few big deer, the horned ones were valuable, it would not be difficult to change them for a horse—the mountains were all hope!
Passing by Yinglian's house, I saw Yinglian drying her clothes in the courtyard, and her depressed mood was cheerful again, and she shouted from afar:
"Hey, Yingzi!"
Yinglian looked up at him and smiled at him!
"Guess where I went yesterday?" said Lingwa, as she approached,
"Far, far, far, all day!"
"I can't guess, you can say it yourself!" Yinglian looked at him with a little curiosity.
"Let me tell you, I've gone to the county seat! I've seen the county magistrate, wow, it's so majestic! Sitting in a big sedan chair, a few people carried it—"
"Really? That must be fun, right?"
"Of course, there are so many people in the city! It's crowded, so you can only walk in small steps-"
"Oh, yes, you, how did you get there? Did you go on horseback? Where's your horse?"
Yinglian's question embarrassed Lingwa again, and she didn't know how to answer? After thinking about it for a while, she said embarrassedly:
"Of course I'm riding, but if I don't ride a horse, I'm still walking? It's just that the horse was lent to someone else, otherwise I would have ridden out today!"
"Oh, that's right, then you're going to get busy, I'm going to go home and make lunch and bring food to my parents!"
As soon as he said two words, Yinglian was about to urge him to go, but Lingwa was very reluctant.
"What's the hurry? It's still early? Can I help you? You're done, I'll send it for you, okay?"
"Then what's going on? Mom and Dad don't agree, and besides, you can't enter the door of the Wanjia Courtyard—"
When Lingwa heard about Wanjiayuan, she was panicked again. I think so, that family hated me in the first place, and now I have lost other people's horses, and I still turn back and forth under the noses of others, which is too rampant, forcing the dog to jump over the wall!
"Well, that's too—when are you free? and we're going to mow the grass and catch rabbits?" said Lingwa with a sigh.
"Let's talk about it later! Anyway, I don't have time lately! You go quickly, I'll go back to the house, ah?" Yinglian finished speaking, and turned around to go back to the house with a wooden basin, she knew that Lingwa couldn't finish talking as soon as she saw her, and she was always afraid that the neighbors would see it, so embarrassed.
Although I also want to stay with Lingwa for a while, I always can't help myself!
Lingwa was so disappointed again, her brows tightened again, and she watched Yinglian go back to the house and close the door, turned around alone, sighed again, carried the bag on her back, kicked the small stone on the ground, and left listlessly.
――
After a few quiet days, Wan Jinbao was not in a hurry to find Lingwa for a horse, and Lingwa gradually let go of her mood and was not so anxious. I think that guy is a boxer in the county, and he's busy?
But every day I walked to Beishan, passing by Yinglian's house, when I saw the girl, I didn't say a word and the other party wanted to hide, and I was really unhappy.
I think I'm in love with you, don't you? You don't hate me? Why do you always avoid me? Your parents don't have any opinions? Maybe it's because I'm too poor? It seems that I still have to get a horse to ride past your house every day, and that's majestic! I have to go to the county seat when I have time, and I must show my skills in the county seat.
At that time, I won't be afraid that you won't see me, and you'll always avoid me.
On a calm day, the most unpeaceful thing is still a few cold half-immortals -
I think people have been divining each other for decades, what feng shui, fortune, what signs, and fate, I can roughly guess eight or nine! It's just that there is no way to take Lingwa, from childhood to adulthood, I know that this kid has evil in his life, and when he grows up, he will definitely cause trouble, and he will definitely cause trouble, and he will never wait for leisure! But at what time will it be? What specific things can he encounter? He is also confused, and only attributes everything to the destiny of heaven!
On this day, two more people came in front of his stall, and at first glance it was from the courtyard of ten thousand families, black clothes and black pants, fierce, showing off his might, as soon as he arrived, one of them pointed at him with a black stick in his hand and said coldly:
"Old man, the second master told you to go! We can bring it, do you want to do it?" After speaking, they all looked down on him and left without looking back.
As soon as Leng Banxian heard this, his heart became nervous, thinking that the long-lost disaster was about to be cashed in? Anyway, it was called by the Wanjia compound, and there would be nothing good? Since the two family members left, his heart has been churning up and down.
Boss Wan in the store also saw that someone was coming to him, and came out and asked with concern? What do you want to discuss? Leng Banxian shook his head and sighed:
"I don't know?! Is it a blessing or a curse, is it a disaster that can't be avoided? I don't know what trouble Lingwa caused again? I hope everything is safe!"
Boss Wan who said this is also very worried, and he can't be at peace all day long!
Leng Banxian didn't dare to delay, asked the boss to help take a look at the stall, hung a small cloth bag and went straight to the Wanjia compound, thinking all the way, no matter what your good things are or bad things, come on, come on, anyway, my old man is over seventy years old, and he has no regrets about dying!
When he walked into the courtyard of the Wanjia family and saw the second young master Wan Jinlong, he realized that he was asked to prescribe a few medicines!
It is said that since your Lingwa punched him, these days have passed, and his face has become swollen, but his brain has never been comfortable, and he is in pain every day?
He also said that for the sake of his old man, the past will be over, and each of them will do their own thing, and they will not make an example! Moreover, if he is asked to prescribe medicine, he will pay according to the order, and there will be no less than half a copper boy!
When Leng Banxian heard this, he had a false alarm, and was about to turn his sadness into joy, and he also responded politely on the spot, saying that he would discipline Lingwa well in the future. He has a good prescription for the treatment of injury headaches, and keeps the medicine until the disease is removed.
Wan Jinlong also smiled and thanked him repeatedly!
But when he left the gate of ten thousand homes, he was inexplicably covered with a layer of bad omen? He couldn't help but think of a fierce beast called the "smiling tiger"? The evil tiger of the past actually smiled at me? The ghost knows what is the mystery behind the laughter?
I didn't feel any more relaxed in my heart, but I was even more uneasy.
His uneasiness is different from Lingwa's uneasiness, he is afraid that Wanjia will find trouble and make trouble, and Lingwa is afraid that there is no horse, no scenery, no majesty, can't make Yinglian interested, can't help her!
Moreover, the first time I entered the city, I was deceived, and I was really a wreck--I had no intention of cutting firewood on the mountain, and I didn't have the energy to practice, so I only thought about how to please Yinglian? How can I get ahead?
And Yinglian doesn't know anything?
She only knows what to eat today, what to eat tomorrow, how to do it, so that she can be fast and good, and kill several birds with one stone.
Every day, as always, she carries a small bamboo basket and wears a small shirt, and walks on the street in a hurry at noon, like a fairy descending to earth, passing through the streets and alleys, walking through the clouds and rivers, I don't know how many pairs of men's hungry eyes have been plundered?
And she herself seemed to be completely unaware-?
