Wang Hou and Liu Hanyan lived in Bianwang Village for more than 20 days, Liu Hanyan had nothing to do every day, either pestering Wang Hou and taking Dumb to the lake to fish and catch shrimp, or pulling Wang Changzhi to the mountains to pick wild flowers.

Wang Hou calculated the day of the return trip, and on the fifth day of the sixth month, the two decided to leave for Rizhao. On the day he left, his father, Wang Yuanwai, repeatedly told Wang Hou that "trouble comes from the mouth" and "words must be lost", and asked him to pay special attention to his words outside, and rush back as soon as the matter is over. Mother Wang Li pulled Liu Hanyan, and she was so reluctant to let go, Liu Hanyan was also reluctant, and said, "Auntie, I will come again." ”

Changzhi and Dumb sent them to the ferry, and Liu Hanyan said: "Changzhi, my senior brother Zhao is handsome, but his temperament is a little colder, when will I bring him over and let you get to know him?" ”

Changzhi chirped: "I'm not rare, I won't go anywhere in my life, just in this village." ”

Liu Hanyan smiled: "Oh, I know, you like that 'pig's head' in your heart, right?" Changzhi blushed, but said to Dumb: "You like Zhu Tou." ”

Wang Hou squatted down and gently stroked Dumb with his hand: "Dumb, I'm leaving......" Dumb looked at Wang Hou and grinned. The prince looked at Wang Hou for a while, and then turned his head to look at Dumb. The ferry boat rowed, the long branch waved goodbye, Dumb propped up his limbs, stretched out his head to look at the boat, but it didn't move for a long time.

When the boat arrived in Chao County, it was already dark, and the two were worried that there would be no room at the Bantang Inn, so they found an inn in the city to rest. On the second day, I went to the Bantang Inn to take out the horses, and after so many days, the horses seemed to have gained a lot of weight, which was also due to the fact that Wang Hou paid a lot of silver taels to the innkeeper that day.

Liu Hanyan asked, "Nerd, do you want to learn to ride a horse?" "Yan'er, you still take me." "No, you sit in front, you have to learn to ride a horse...... You don't know any martial arts, and you can't ride a horse, you're too nerdy, my daddy...... Definitely not. "I don't want your dad to like it, as long as you don't hate it." "I ...... I hate you. ”

Wang Hou smiled secretly in his heart, got on the horse, stretched out his hand to pull Liu Hanyan up, and saw that Liu Hanyan was embarrassed to hug him, so he clamped the horse's belly, and the horse ran quickly.

Liu Hanyan praised: "Nerd, you still learn very quickly...... "His hands were unconsciously wrapped around Wang Hou's waist. Wang Hou smiled: "If you don't teach me martial arts, otherwise, I will learn very quickly." Liu Hanyan leaned his head against his back and said slowly: "When you rest at night, I will teach you." ”

But for a few days, both of them forgot about learning martial arts. On the first night, they rested in Hexian, and the two only cared about playing the night scenery and tasting local specialties, and then they talked at night with candles in the inn, and they didn't know what to talk about. The second night to Nanjing City, at this time has not yet moved the capital, or the capital is located, only to see everywhere the lights are red and green, prosperous abnormal, the two are even more happy to linger, in Nanjing stayed for two nights before leaving, three days later on the evening of June 12, rushed to Huai'an Mansion.

The two found an inn to live in, and did not dine in the inn, Liu Hanyan came to Nanjing last time to do business, lived here, although not very familiar, with the impression or Wang Hou together to find the canal restaurant, only to see the restaurant lanterns hanging, carved beams and paintings, the stone level in front of the door is as many as ten floors, obviously the scale is not small.

When I went upstairs, it was very spacious, with fifty tables and full of people. Xiao Er led the two to sit down at an empty table, Liu Han lit the dish and paid a silver tael, the price was not cheap, and a few dishes cost a total of five taels of silver. Wang Hou stood up and looked into the distance, only to see that the canal was brightly lit, with a forest of sails and bright shadows. Huai'an dug the Grand Canal from Luoyang to Yangzhou in the Sui Dynasty, which is the main road for transporting imperial grain on water, and has become the "four major cities" along the canal along with Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou, and has the reputation of "the capital of canals".

The effort is not big, and the famous Huaiyang dishes such as soft long fish, Pingqiao tofu, Kaiyang pu cabbage, and Wenlou soup dumplings have been served, and the two of them only feel that the taste is fresh and peaceful. Liu Hanyan also asked for a pot of Yanghe Daqu, a few days ago in Bianwang Village, she had not drunk, in front of the aunt and uncle, she was embarrassed to be too willful, and now she came out, and she let go again. At this time, he poured a full cup for Wang Hou and himself, and when it was dry, he forced Wang Hou to drink it dry.

Wang Hou held the cup, his hand shook, and he was already halfway away. Liu Hanyan said angrily: "Nerd, why did you spill the wine?" Wang Hou pretended not to know and asked, "Where is Sa?" I drank it all. ”

Suddenly, I heard someone slap the table and said loudly: "You are not annoying, get out of Lao Tzu!" The two turned their heads to look, and saw a fortune-teller standing at a table not far from them. The one who slapped the table and scolded angrily was a big man about forty years old with a solid body. At this time, someone at the table persuaded: "Master Cai, what kind of anger is you getting angry with a fortune teller, come and come...... Let's have another drink. ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu lost ten taels of silver today, what kind of hexagram do you want you to count, don't you get out?" Hall Master Cai slapped the table again. The fortune teller stepped back. "Old man, come, give me a hexagram." Wang Hou couldn't stand it and beckoned.

The fortune teller was overjoyed when he heard this, and walked over quickly: "This little brother, I am not allowed to count the half-immortal fortune divination, I don't know if the little brother is considered fame, or whether it is to count the ...... of profit" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, stared at Wang Hou for a moment, his eyes widened, and he said, "Don't dare to say, don't dare to say, this girl, I'll calculate a hexagram for you, don't want money, I don't know your ......"

At this moment, a wine cup was thrown over, but it didn't hit the fortune teller, but it fell on Wang Hou's table with a snap, and the soup splashed everywhere, and a few drops splashed on Liu Han's cigarette clothes.

"Damn, let you babble here!" Hall Master Cai slapped the table again. Liu Hanyan was in flames, stood up angrily, and said angrily: "Why are you smashing our table?" Hall Master Cai's voice was even higher: "Who told you to call him over?" Smashing the table is still a trivial matter, and any more nonsense will smash your heads. ”

Wang Hou hurriedly stood up and pulled Liu Hanyan to sit down, and said to Hall Master Cai: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't forget about the old man, this is the money paid to you." So saying, he took out a penny and gave it to him.

The fortune teller took the money and went downstairs, still muttering: "I am a half-immortal fortune teller, and I am not allowed to ...... money" "You kid has a lot of money?" Lao Tzu is lucky today, it turns out that he met you. Bring me twenty taels, and I will spare you. Hall Master Cai's face was even more gloomy. As soon as these words came out, the upstairs suddenly fell silent, and some people quietly went downstairs.

Wang Hou shouted, "How can I have so much silver? The person at the same table as Hall Master Cai shouted: "Boy, don't be ignorant, this is Hall Master Cai of our Salt Gang, asking you to take money is to look up to you!" "The Salt Gang? What does the Salt Gang do? Wang Hou asked stupidly, and looked at Liu Hanyan again, "Yan'er, do you know the Salt Gang?" ”

Liu Hanyan saw that the matter was making a big fuss, and he was also worried, and said in a low voice: "It's a big gang, it's not easy to mess with, nerd, let's go." "What, you still want to run away?" Hall Master Cai smiled, also bullying the two of them with foreign accents, and they were weak scholars, "It's okay if you don't have money, let this girl drink two glasses with us." ”

Wang Hou waved his hand again and again: "Don't drink or drink, we've drunk well, you don't have to be polite." Pulling Liu Hanyan, protecting her in front, and secretly using "skills to divide the wind".

Seeing that the two of them turned around, they turned their backs to themselves, and firmly believed that they were just ordinary people, otherwise how could they dare to turn their backs to others? At the moment, he no longer hesitated, and reached out to grab Wang Hou, but he obviously grabbed his clothes, but his hand slipped, and he fell into the air, stumbling forward, and almost fell to the ground.

He shook his head, as if he wanted to sober up his wine, and reached out to grab it again, this time he really saw that the person was caught in his hand, but he slipped out again, and Hall Master Cai couldn't stop, and fell here with a thud, and the floor shook for a while.

The people at the table rushed to help him up, only to see that his teeth had broken his thick lips and he was bleeding. Hall Master Cai roared angrily: "Something is wrong with this kid, everyone stop him." The five of them pulled out their waist knives and shouted in a rough voice: "Boy, you hurt my hall master, and you still want to escape?" ”

Liu Hanyan turned his head inexplicably, and Wang Hou also turned around and said, "What?" Everyone has seen it, Master Cai obviously drank too much wine and fell down, and blame us, do you talk about the king's law? ”

A tall and thin man shouted angrily: "I'll let you talk about the king's law!" "Raise your sword and stab. Wang Houyi pulled Liu Hanyan's smoke and shouted: "I'm going to kill someone, I'm going to kill someone......" His body turned outward, and another trick was "there is a skill to divide the wind", and the thin and tall man rushed past the two and rolled down the stairs. The other four people saw that something was wrong, and rushed over one after another, but they didn't stop at their feet, and rolled down the stairs with a grunt, so frightened that the prince shrank straight into his arms.

Wang Hou shouted loudly: "All of you present are witnesses, everyone can see very clearly, it is obvious that you slipped down, but don't rely on us." Pulling Liu Hanyan down the stairs at the other end.

Out of the restaurant, Wang Hou sighed: "A few scoundrels, they drank too much wine, what kind of wine is crazy...... Yan'er, I'm right to tell you to drink less, look at how drunk those people were just now, the road is unstable, and I want to ask you to drink with them. Liu Hanyan looked back and saw that no one was chasing him, thinking that it might be that they had drunk too much, and smiled at the moment: "Nerd, I haven't drunk too much, why are you telling me this?" ”

Wang Housilly asked, "No, those people just now know that you can drink?" "What do you mean?" "If they don't know you can drink, why should you go and drink with them? Besides, aren't you drinking with me? "Phew, what a nerd!"
