Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fat Woman Shi Jinlan
The young man in blue was half-lying on the bed, and the girl in red was in a condescending pose.
This situation made Han Xiangtian have to think more.
Xu Rou'er coughed dryly, "I'm checking on the patient's condition, why didn't you come in without knocking." ”
Han Xiangtian picked up the water basin with a hole in it, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is our room, you must at least say hello to me when you come in." ”
Xu Rouer pointed to the two bowls of Yangchun noodles on the table, and pouted: "It's really a little kid who doesn't know what to do, my sister is kind enough to bring you food, hmph, I won't play with you anymore." ”
After speaking, Xu Rouer left quickly with light steps.
Ma Yu opened his mouth: "Xiangtian, people are my life-saving benefactor, are you talking too much." ”
Han Xiangtian picked up the basin and muttered: "Then she can't disturb your rest, let's go out to hide in a while, are you feeling better, if the official family comes, they will definitely search the inn." ”
The two quickly packed their luggage and tiptoed to the back door of the inn.
Just wanted to leave, but heard a roar of a lion in Hedong: "Where to run!" ”
I saw a fat black woman dressed as a cook, with a face covered with pink and a waist as thick as a bucket, with her hands on her hips and a rolling pin in her hand, with a fierce face.
Ma Yu explained: "Auntie, you recognize the wrong person. ”
The fat woman couldn't help but say, and hit Ma Yu's head with a rolling pin, and shot sharply, it turned out to be a martial artist!
Fortunately, the opponent's strength is still at the beginning of the human level, and Ma Yu, who has temporarily recovered, can still deal with it.
He dodged the blow lightly, and waved his hand again and again, "Auntie, if you have something to say, is there any misunderstanding here." ”
"Misunderstand your size!" The black fat woman's rolling pin missed several times in a row, and she was so angry that she dragged directly over the grinding disc on the side.
I saw her hands exerting force, the fat on her neck squeezed out obvious folds, and the grinding disc of several hundred catties was easily lifted.
The backyard is not large, and there is a locked bronze wooden door, which is obviously impassable.
The two low walls are not high, but they are densely packed with sharp iron pieces, and with the skills of Ma Yu and Han Xiangtian, they can't jump over.
If you confront the black fat woman head-on, she throws the grinding plate sideways, and as long as the two of them don't pay attention to being touched, I'm afraid they will be smashed a few ribs.
Just when the fat black woman was about to flick the grinding wheel, Han Xiangtian stepped forward with an arrow: "This aunt, we are just in-house tourists, and we have paid the room money before, and we just rashly broke into your backyard, I am here to compensate you, I hope you will raise your noble hand." ”
Han Xiangtian is older and has seen a lot, so he guessed that there was a misunderstanding, so he deliberately showed weakness and goodwill.
The fat black woman saw a handsome and dashing white-faced young man talking, her starry eyes were full of sincerity, and she put down the grinding plate with a pant at the moment.
"Of course I know that you paid the room fee, so you can't just sneak away!" Although her emotions have eased, the black fat woman still does not give up.
Han Xiangtian continued to bow his hand: "Auntie, the two of us are young and ignorant, please make it clear." ”
Seeing that Han Xiangtian was polite and polite, and his eyebrows were not like roosters and dog thieves, the black fat woman said in a rough voice: "Break my basin, can't you pay compensation?" You sneaky people want to run! ”
Han Xiangtian couldn't cry or laugh, that's all?
Thinking of the basin that was broken in the morning, Han Xiangtian took out a Guangwu gold coin from his arms and handed it respectfully: "Auntie, do you think these compensations are enough?" ”
The liquid currency of the Guangwu Empire is divided into four categories: gold, silver, copper and iron, which is square, with the pattern of the sun shining on the whole territory of the empire on the front side, and the word Guangwu engraved on the reverse side, which is exquisitely made and beautiful.
The currency is in decimal, like a porcelain basin, and a few copper coins are enough to buy.
When she got a Guangwu gold coin in her hand, the fat black woman's face full of fat instantly blossomed: "Enough, enough!" The main reason is that it is very inconvenient for us to purchase supplies here, and we have to take a detour everywhere, and the South Bridge of the Royal Hunting Ground does not let us Pingtou people go, and we have to take a detour to Jinjing, and it will take 200 miles to go to the nearest Fancheng, and I am also afraid of delaying business. ”
Ma Yu is not angry, looking at the woman's posture just now, it is a terrible way to play, and the co-authoring is just for a basin!
"Can we go?" Ma Yu asked.
The black fat woman saw the money and smiled: "Two young masters, my name is Shi Jinlan, I am the owner and chef of our small shop, are you comfortable living in my Xiaolu Inn, do you want to reserve a first-class room for you, we can pay a monthly or annual subscription...... Also available for a one-time payment and free stay for life......"
Ma Yu and Han Xiangtian couldn't cry or laugh, Shi Jinlan must have lost money.
The black fat woman was chattering, and there was a sudden commotion in front of the inn.
I only heard a man full of anger shouting: "Listen to the deer head set, those who have seen these two people and provided clues will be rewarded with ten gold coins!" ”
Shi Jinlan's eyes lit up, her fat body turned easily, and she didn't turn her head back and ran towards the front door.
Ma Yu and Han Xiangtian glanced at each other and followed.
In front of the inn, several sergeants in iron armor stood in two teams, murderous.
On a horse with brown sideburns, there are two portraits of an iron helmet and iron armor captain hanging in his hands, like dozens of people watching the deer head gathering.
"Everyone take a closer look, these two are currently wanted criminals, and those who have seen it should report it quickly, and the bounty is now closed." As he spoke, the ten-captain raised a string of gold coins in his hand, which was particularly tempting.
Although Lutouji is close to Jinjing, it is not rich, but dozens of families do some processing deer skin here.
Except for the traders who come to buy deerskin clothes every autumn, the rest of the time the military masters of Lutouqiao are frequent visitors here.
Shi Jinlan squinted and squeezed to the front, took a closer look at the portrait, and suddenly opened her mouth wide: "Those two little ghosts just now ......"
Ten Guangwu gold coins, equivalent to half a year's income of the inn, Shi Jinlan's eyes lit up, as if the money had been included in his pocket.
"This military master, looking at the portrait, the two of them are not very old, what crime did they commit?" Thinking of Han Xiangtian's handsome face, Shi Jinlan really couldn't believe that he would be a key criminal wanted by the empire.
The ten-man said: "These two assassinated the imperial prince and collaborated with the enemy to disturb the imperial city, if you have seen the clues on the quick report, if anyone dares to cover up, they will be arrested as accomplices!" ”
"So serious? It's a shame to be so young. "Someone is muttering.
"It's only been a long time since the peaceful days, why are there enemy countries mixed in, I'm afraid there will be another war." There are old people who have thoughts wandering, evoking painful memories of the war.
Shi Jinlan turned around, just in time to aim at Ma Yu, who was probing his brain out of the inn.
Looking at the look in the young man's eyes that he was ignorant of the world, he was by no means a great traitor, and she was a little confused.
Suddenly seeing Han Xiangtian poking his head out, his starry eyes were looking at him, pure and simple, his eyes were full of sincere pleading, Shi Jinlan was completely soft-hearted.
"Hey, you run an inn, are there any idle people waiting to stay in the hotel?" The ten-captain noticed the words "Little Deer Inn" on Shi Jinlan's back show, and asked on horseback.
Shi Jinlan smiled cutely, "Master Jun, the small shop operates with integrity, and never accepts the big traitors and evildoers, I haven't seen these two people, you work hard, do you want to go to the small shop to rest, the official family lives in the store and all the ......"
