Chapter One Hundred and Eight. Count the dog days
Little Smith chanted the incantation and shouted, "All sides! ”
So there are two Ximen Saburo in each of the four directions of the southeast, south, west, and northwest, and no one knows whether the Ximen Saburo in that direction is true and the Ximen Saburo in that direction is false.
It's hard to tell the truth from the fake.
When Little Smith drove with his power, Simon Saburo and the seven paper figures also had the same skills and moves, so that there were nine Little Smith's powers.
Little Smith knew that the seven paper figures were unscrupulous, and only Ximen Saburo had some senses, but who had such a great ability to find the only true body from the eight identical Ximen Saburo.
People who don't know the way are tired to death, and you can't fight this formation.
In all directions, it is the killer feature of Little Smith.
After a period of practice, Little Smith accepted the formation, and Simon Saburo only felt confused, and he really couldn't remember what happened just now, but when Little Smith called for food, he felt hungry.
Looking at a table of meat dishes, Ximen Saburo came to the spirit, there are only two people in so many dishes, and it is impossible to make them?
Ximen Saburo opened his mouth and swallowed the chicken, duck, fish, and pork knuckle with saliva.
Little Smith looked at Ximen Saburo eating like this, and he was happy, just bring Ximen Saburo with him for anything in the future.
This is an excellent method, some things require multiple samurai but are afraid of revealing the target, how convenient is it to only bring Ximen Saburo and seven paper figures?
In fact, Smith Jr. still has big things to do, he is preparing a bank, and finance is a bloodless knife that kills people, and the water in it is very deep.
In fact, Smith is also in contact everywhere, the bank is also imminent, the war has been decided, the people here are still immersed in the shadow of feudalism, the rich lord will deposit a lot of gold and silver, and Lingshi City should also open a bank with a row, so as to attract more deposits.
The indemnity of the vanquished should go through the bank, and it is foreseeable that it will not be long before the bank will have unexpected developments.
Little Smith was considering the location of the bank, and Ye Lingshi's home became the first choice.
Now the deed of Ye Lingshi's house is already in his arms, just waiting for the auspicious day of the zodiac to start construction.
The drawings of the bank were designed by famous Western designers......
Ying Lingshi went to purchase the medicinal materials for making the Yisheng Pill again, but the medicinal material merchant said that the price of the medicine had risen sharply, and only said that the price would rise by three percent.
He also said that if Ying Lingshi had time, he could go to Yaodu to investigate the situation, and said that Ying Gongzi would use such a large amount, so he might as well try his luck in Yaodu.
Maybe you will save a lot of silver taels.
Ying Lingshi felt that what the medicinal herb merchant said made sense, so he rented three carriages and arranged it, the deaf grandfather and blind grandmother were not at ease if they didn't follow, and if the two old people were not there, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
Shangguan Hua and Lu Jie also have to follow, the two of them can take care of the two old people along the way, and it is not safe to leave the two girls at home.
Shangguan Wen is also going to go, and the rest is the protection of the convoy, Feiliu and Xiaozizi.
Before leaving, Ying Lingshi went to see Tan Yaobi, and said with some embarrassment, Uncle Tan, the things of the past few days were a little reckless, but he couldn't be the master, everything was arranged by Master Yunjin, you take these ten pills, and those who have been kidnapped and detained every month need them, you just put the pills in the porridge, and it will be done.
Baked Cake Tan nodded, although he was a little estranged from Ying Lingshi, he also knew that this was not from Ying Lingshi's heart.
Watching Ying Lingshi, the kid grow up, he knew in his heart whether it was good or bad.
Ying Lingshi doesn't look for others but only him, which shows how much Ying Lingshi trusts him.
"Don't worry, Uncle will get things done."
Ying Lingshi nodded happily and thought, Lingshi City has arranged it here, and you can rest assured that you can go to the medicine this time.
So the three carriages hurried to the medicine capital.
I thought that the north was better than the south, but the closer I got to the medicine capital, I felt that the medicine was hotter than Lingshi City.
It was a few days of life, and there was not even a trace of poor wind, and the horse was not in good spirits, and the snort seemed to remind the driver that it was hot, and the horse was thirsty.
Ying Lingshi didn't feel too hot when he rode the horse, but the people in the car were guilty, and he couldn't welcome a little wind when he lifted the curtain, and the big pu fan fanned back and forth but it was not as cool as expected.
The road is also uneven, the car is very bumpy, and there is a compound not far away.
Ying Lingshi thought, on such a hot day, it's time to hit the spot, it doesn't matter if it's not an inn, a lot of people have money.
There was a bolted horse stake at the entrance of the compound, and Ying Lingshi got off the horse and tied the reins and knocked on the door in a hurry.
"Uncle, we are passing by, catching up with this hot day, and want to beg for saliva to drink."
The old man at the gate had some ears behind his ears, but he also heard the same, "Begging for saliva, there is something inside." He opened the door.
What a hospitable person.
"Flystream, little bolt, give the horse some water." Ying Lingshi was getting out of the car with his deaf grandfather, and he had to explain all the miscellaneous things.
When Feiliu and Little Bolt carried two buckets of water and put them in front of the horse, the old man who opened the door came over and grabbed two handfuls of soil and put them in the buckets.
The blind grandmother got out of the car and sniffed the door, and then followed the wall all the way to the main house.
People thought it was strange and their eyes fell on her.
The blind grandmother pushed open the door and groped for a chair to sit down.
Ying Lingshi was just curious, the blind grandmother hadn't been so abnormal, what was going on?
Tears fell from the blind grandmother's eyes.
At this time, the old man who was guarding the door walked up to the blind grandmother and looked carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Miss! ”
"Ding Fu!"
"Miss, you're still alive!" Ding Fu's tears were like a welling spring.
That year, Ding He was four years old, and she just remembered that it was the county temple fair, and Ding He's parents led her to the meeting.
The temple fair is lively, there are opera troupes invited by the squire, there are monkeys from other townspeople, there are artists with big stones broken on their chests, and there are small bets on cockfighting.
The most lively is the team of praying for rain, men and women of all ages knelt on the ground, maybe it was the drought for a long time, and the sincerity of the people who begged for rain moved the heavens.
A storm came.
Ding He was scattered by the people who were sheltering from the rain, but it was just a middle-aged woman covering her mouth and carrying her into a carriage.
The carriage kept running in the raging storm.
I don't know how far the carriage went, Ding He only knew that he cried for a long time and fell asleep in a daze.
She was locked up in a deserted house, and the middle-aged woman took a whip and told her, "We have chosen you, we don't raise people to eat for nothing, I will teach you some skills now, you listen well, in the future in the market or temple fair, you must listen to my command, let you cry, you know how to cry, let you say that you say, what father is sick, what father is sick and died, there is not even a coffin board, you have to cry loudly, until someone pays for it."
The middle-aged woman suddenly raised her whip and said, "Give it and cry."
Ding He blinked and cried a few times, but it was very fake, just like a performance.
At this time, the middle-aged woman whipped Ding He violently, and Ding He cried in pain.
Only then did the middle-aged woman nod and said, cry like this when you cry in the future, and if you can't cry like this, you will be whipped.
Ding He was really frightened, a four-year-old child, what could he do?
However, Ding He secretly remembered in his heart that it should be ten days' journey from his home, crossing three mountains and crossing two rivers.
It's just that she doesn't know how far away from home she is.
Going home became something she thought about all the time.
That night, Ding He pretended to fall asleep and pretended to snore intermittently.
After determining that the middle-aged woman was asleep, she tiptoed open the door, and it was dark outside, although she was a little afraid, but the desire to escape overcame fear, so she ran wildly in the dark night.
I don't know how long she ran, Ding He only felt sleepy and tired, maybe because she was too young, she fell asleep on the road, if she was older and didn't sleep on the side of the road, maybe she might have escaped.
After the middle-aged woman chased after Ding He, she first beat her violently, and then gritted her teeth and said, If you run again, you will have your good fruit to eat.
Ding He didn't know what the middle-aged woman was talking about at that time, but he vaguely felt bad in his heart.
On this day, a man brought a little boy again, and Ding He knew what was going on when he saw it.
Later, Ding He learned from the boy that the boy's name was Feng Boju.
The boy told Ding He that he would escape from the clutches of the devil as long as he had the chance, and that if he didn't fight, he would be miserable in the future.
So the two children began to plan.
The middle-aged man and woman had wine and meat for a while, but Ding He and Feng Boju could only drink some gruel, and they would eat separately whenever they ate.
The two also discussed and took them to Jinling to make a lot of money.
That night, the middle-aged man drank a little too much, snoring and grinding his teeth and talking in his dreams, but the middle-aged woman was very vigilant, basically did not close his eyes in the first half of the night, the two of them divided the work, the middle-aged woman was on duty in the first half of the night, the middle-aged man was on duty in the second half of the night, and the middle-aged woman woke up the middle-aged man and fell asleep snoring.
The middle-aged man glanced at the two children on the straw mat and muttered, they are all asleep, let's sleep.
In fact, Ding He and Feng Boju just pretended to be asleep, and the two children discussed it, and after the middle-aged man fell asleep, the two crept to the door.
The two of them ran hard in the dark night, and the two discussed that they would not take the big road, but the small road.
So the two of them ran vigorously on the path, and at dawn Ding He stood on the dirt slope and looked down, and actually shed tears.
Ding He cried and said, no, we turned back again.
Feng Boju pulled Ding He at this time and said, Run.
At this time, the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman chased out the door, and found the two children who turned around and ran.
The two children were so exhausted that they finally didn't even have the strength to lift their feet.
Ding He said to Feng Boju, you go first, if you can escape, one will be counted as one.
Feng Boju said, we will go together, and we will die together.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was caught up by a middle-aged woman, Feng Boju bit the middle-aged woman's arm, but he didn't let go, and then the middle-aged man who came picked up his hand and gave Feng Boju a big slap.
It hit Feng Boju so much that his ears were bleeding.
Ding He didn't run far, and was also pulled back by the middle-aged man who chased him.
The middle-aged woman brought the smoking basin, pressed Ding He's head on the door basin and smoked it, gritting her teeth and scolding while smoking, let you run, let you run, you won't run if you can't see the road.
