Everyone cremated Zao Wou-ki's body, and by the way, the corpses of the four horses were also burned.

Horses are animals with perfect lines, and I can't imagine that anyone would be willing to kill them, Xiao Ding sighed in his heart.

Take care of everything, it's dawning.

A group of six people continued to move towards the southwest along the official road.

Fortunately, the weather was not bad, although it was not sunny, but there was no rain or wind.

There was not much mud on the official road, and everyone walked unhurriedly.

Tang Qingqing's actions were not very neat, she held Xiao Ding's arm all the way, it seemed that she was in good health, and she didn't plan to let go of Xiao Ding.

Breakfast time.

Everyone has been walking for more than an hour, and they still haven't met the station. I was just a little deflated, and suddenly I found a carriage parked on the side of the road in front of me.

To be exact, this is a board cart that uses only one horse-drawn board cart.

This kind of cart is very long, but there is no box, but it is used by ordinary people to pull grain, firewood and grass.

The cart was loaded with most of the dry firewood, and an old man was sitting on the wheel drinking and resting.

The old man looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, and although his hair was gray, he looked in good spirits. He poured wine into his mouth, and didn't seem to notice that Xiao Ding and the others had walked in front of him.

Wei Qingshu stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, how far is it to go to the post station ahead?" ”

The old man's face was flushed with alcohol, he squinted his eyes and looked a few people up and down, stuffed the bottle in his hand to the mouth of the pot, wiped his mouth with his cuffs, smacked his lips and said: "There is a post station ten miles ahead, but the post station is being rebuilt due to fire and abandonment, so you have to go twenty miles to reach Chenzhuang before you have a post station." ”

Wei Qingshu said: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Everyone looked at each other, thirty miles, at their speed, it would take two hours to reach Chenzhuang.

Xiao Ding suddenly smiled, he leaned in front of the old man and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that your cart of firewood is going to be pulled to the Chenzhuang Market to be sold for wine money." ”

The old man gave Xiao Ding a blank look and replied.

Xiao Ding took out an ingots from his arms and shook it in front of the old man's eyes, and said with a smile: "You pull us to Chenzhuang, and this silver is yours." ”

The old man's eyes lit up, there are such good things in the world, the ingots in Xiao Ding's hand, I am afraid that it is enough for him to sell more than ten or twenty carts of firewood, so he nodded and agreed, and took the silver from Xiao Ding's hand, for fear that Xiao Ding would regret it if he moved slowly.

The old man unloaded the half cart of firewood and hid it in the bushes by the roadside, and it seemed that he was going to send people back to load the firewood, and then bring it to the market to sell it for money.

Farmers have always been thrifty, because their fear of poverty has long been ingrained in their bones.

The old man whipped his horse and "drove" ...... With a shout, the board carried everyone slowly.

The horse was a local black horse, slightly shorter than the Mongolian horse, but because of the perennial load, the sunrise and the sunset, its endurance was not inferior to those of the war horses on the battlefield.

Six or seven people, about a thousand pounds, the horse did not seem to be struggling, but walked faster and faster.

The car board is about eight feet long, and it is covered with hay, and Xiao Ding and others sit on it, and it is not too crowded.

The front of the cart rests against the wheel, and two wine jars are netted with ropes, and there is still half a jar of wine in one of the wine jars, which makes a bumpy sound with the body bumps.

Xiao Ding licked his lips and smiled at the old man: "Uncle, can you sell me this half jar of wine?" ”

The old man was disgusted with the silver, and his heart was happy, and he laughed: "If the little brother likes it, just take it and drink it, and don't dare to ask for money again." ”

Xiao Ding thanked him, untied the hemp rope tied to the wine jar, took off the seal, and suddenly a burst of wine fragrance came to his nose.

Xiao Ding said that the wine was good, so he poured a big mouthful of the belly, wiped the mouth of the altar, handed the wine jar to Tang Qingqing beside him, and said with a smile: "Come, take a sip to warm up your body." ”

Tang Qingqing didn't shirk, took the wine jar, took a sip of it, and then handed the wine to the next person.

The cold air in the early morning of this lunar day is quite heavy, and after drinking some wine, I feel that my body is warm up and down.

After a few laps, most of the jar had been drunk by six people.

Tang Qingqing's face was also slightly red, she leaned on Xiao Ding's shoulder and said, "I'm a little drunk and want to sleep......

Looking at it, Qingcheng Sixiu was also confused.

Xiao Ding smiled: "You can't drink this amount of wine, no, there is ...... in this wine"

Before he could finish speaking, he leaned back and fell headlong under the car.

"Huh"...... The old man pulled the reins sharply, paused the body, and looked back, only to see that everyone had fallen on the cart, and Nie Qingyun and Xiaoding fell to the ground.

The old man had a gloomy face, his eyes showed a fierce light, he walked to Xiao Ding and Nie Qingyun step by step, leaned down and stretched out two fingers to try the snort of the two, and then patted a few people in the car, none of them could move, and all six of them were asleep like death.

The corner of the old man's mouth slowly showed a cruel smile, took out a dagger with cold light from his waist, and muttered: "Don't blame me when you get there, if you don't die, I won't survive." As the saying goes, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, this injustice is the debtor, if you want to find it, look for the stinky bull's nose. ”

The old man walked to Tang Qingqing's side, looked at Tang Qingqing's proud figure, and sighed: "It's a pity to kill this girl, alas, let's do it with you first, so that the old man won't be able to do it for a while." ”

"Then why don't you do it yet!" A cold voice said.

The old man's body shook, and the dagger in his hand stopped in mid-air, not moving.

Nie Qingyun's sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was against the middle of his vest, and he asked coldly.

Tang Qingqing also opened his eyes and saw that he was laughing, Xiao Ding patted the dust on his body, slowly walked to the old man, gently took the dagger from his hand, and said with a smile: "Are you thinking, why is the soul killing incense useless to us?" “

The old man nodded and said, "I watched you drink the wine with my own eyes, and I personally put the dementor incense in the wine, and of course the portion is very large." “

Tang Qingqing smiled and said: "Because we have taken the antidote in advance, this truth is actually very simple. ”

She turned over and jumped out of the carriage, looked at the old man and blinked, and said with a smile: "The Tang family's 'Jasper Qingxin Pill' can cure all kinds of poisons in the world, and it is the nemesis of all drugs, you should know this." ”

The old man sighed: "I am sick Hua Tuo walking the rivers and lakes, never show his true face, I dare to guarantee that you have never seen me, I really can't understand where there is a flaw." ”

Xiao Ding said with a smile: "Of course, this is thanks to our Tang Daqianjin, it was she who recognized your soul killing incense, and I calculated that since you made a move, you will never return empty-handed, and there will definitely be follow-ups." “

Zhao Qingming stared at the sick Hua Tuo, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and he said in a deep voice: "When I cremated my father's body last night, you must have seen the sky-high fire in the dark, and you had already planned today's action at that time. “

Liu Qingfeng sneered: "Ding Shaoxia has calculated that although you are powerful in poison, you are not good at martial arts, so you will definitely do it again, Miss Tang has given each of us a 'Jasper Qingxin Pill' in case of emergency, and when Ding Shaoxia was drinking just now, he also gave us a hint, so several of us have quietly taken the antidote." The purpose of cooperating with you in this play is to listen to you personally say who is behind the scenes. ”

Puzzled, Hua Tuo asked, "When did you make a hint?" ”

Xiao Ding smiled: "I just touched a few of them with my feet, and then knocked the wine jar three times with my fingers." ”

Sick Hua Tuo said: "But how did you find out, I didn't show any flaws." “

Xiao Ding shook his head and said with a smile: "You are indeed well disguised, even I thought that you were really just an old man who sold firewood from an ordinary family, getting up early in the morning and cutting firewood and sending it to the market, just to exchange for some wine money." You even pretend to be a drunkard who drinks like a heavy drinker, but it's a pity that ......"

"What a pity?" If Xiao Ding didn't tell him the answer, Sick Hua Tuo was afraid that he would really go crazy at the moment.

Xiao Ding smiled lightly: "It's a pity that the wine you left in the jar is too good, and you keep too much." “

Sick Hua Tuo glared at Xiao Ding, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.

Xiao Ding smiled: "You don't have to stare at me, as the so-called hundred secrets are sparse, there is no plan in this world that can really be seamless." You calculated all the details, but forgot the most important thing. “

Sick Hua Tuo sighed, closed his eyes tightly, and stopped talking.

But Tang Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "What's the most important thing?" “

Xiao Ding said indifferently: "This half of the flower carving is at least twenty years old, how can ordinary people afford to drink such expensive wine, and a real drunkard will not have so much wine left in his home." “

A person who is really addicted to alcohol will definitely think of buying wine when he drinks it all, and of course the more he buys wine, the better, since he is going to buy wine, how can he put so much wine in the jar.

There are some truths that I thought were complicated before I figured it out, but once I figured it out, I felt that it was just a simple truth.
