Lu Zhong kept a thoughtful eye and said, "Father is thoughtful. The golden cakes received by the boy have been paid to the white brother. I don't have any money left over now, what can I do? ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Bojie said briskly: "Let's bring the money back, and it won't hurt to pay the money on the day." ”

This boldness actually moved Lu Zhong's heart, and he wondered if his previous bad impression of Bojie was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Father of the Rank takes care of him so much, how fortunate is the kid!" ”

Lu Bojie didn't say anything, got up and walked to the back house, leaving Lu Zhong alone in the lobby and pavilion. After a long while, Lu Bojie came back, carrying a heavy guy in his hand, and before he could go to the court, he shouted, "Zhongzi help me." ”

Lu Zhong hurriedly ran out of the pavilion, and Lu Bojie pointed to the guy in his hand and said, "The money will be handed over to you." ”

Lu Zhong took the guy, it was really heavy, it looked like leather armor on a closer look, the front and back bottoms were folded backwards, and the cowhide thread was sewn into a bag, which was very strong. The bag was heavy, and it sounded like it was full of money. When the two entered the hall, Lu Bojie couldn't wait to say, "Take off your shirt." ”

Lu Zhong didn't know what to do, put down the leather bag, took off the burqa, and then untied his coat. Lu Bojie took it off, pointed to the leather bag and said, "Put it on your head." ”

Lu Zhong took a closer look, and there was a hole in the center of the leather armor, which was just right to drill his head through, so he drilled his head into it according to his words, and the bags at both ends were placed on his chest and back one after the other. Lu Zhong put his hand into the bag and felt that it was full of copper coins, I don't know how much. Then he withdrew his head and saluted: "How much money does the father give?" What is this skin? ”

Lu Bojie looked at Lu Zhong like a fool and said, "If you say three thousand dollars, why doubt it?" Three thousand dollars, if it is not this skin, how can it be carried! ”

Lu Zhong said: "This leather bag is very good, the leather is tough, the sewing is firm, how much is it on duty?" ”

Lu Bojie said: "This bag is something that I have traveled far away, not as a gift, let alone a price." But if you have traveled far away, you can take it with you...... If it is lost, it will be fined two gold. ”

Lu Zhong said: "Three thousand dollars is not easy, the time is too decided, dare to ask the father to accept it temporarily, and let me take it tomorrow." ”

Lu Bojie looked at Lu Zhong again and suddenly asked, "Who is the Venerable Father?" ”

Lu Zhong was a little surprised, and said, "My father's name is Shiping......

Lu Bojie said: "If your father has a good name, why is Ru Kunzhong only commensurate with him?" …… Shiping died young, and Ru Kunzhong was still young...... Who is the long-term from, and what is the business? ”

Lu Zhong said: "My brother went out of Kunlun with his father Shiliang and Shijia in the thirteenth year to deal in pearl and jade. Twenty years later! ”

Lu Bojie said: "No wonder you are not surprised by changes, you are not flattered, and you are not surprised by profits." You can get it all in the world. ”

Lu Zhong was shocked: "What does the step father mean? ”

Lu Bojie said: "You but wander for a while, that is, you will enter the Gu - not all copper coins in this bag, but also many tin and lead. ”

Lu Zhong secretly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he resigned: "What the father taught, the boy remembers." It's getting late, and the boy is willing to leave. Come back and teach. ”

Lu Bojie said: "How is tonight?" How to make it without money? ”

Lu Zhong didn't dare to comprehend it again, but said: "Thousands of copper coins, it is inconvenient to carry; Even if there is a skin, it is heavy and difficult to walk; If there is a mistake, I am afraid that the virtue of the father will be hurt. If it is useful at night, I will go to the father to redeem it on the next day. ”

Lu Bojie said: "In this way, we will not stay together." May Kunzhong Peng travel thousands of miles. ”

Lu Zhong said: "It's all thanks to the virtue of the father. ”

Coming out of Lu Xing, Lu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that the sweat had soaked his underwear, his whole body was tired, his face was feverish, and the corners of his forehead were throbbing. Recalling the scene of the right talent, I have palpitations. I still can't guess what kind of person Lu Bojie is. His words were rash and seemed to have no city, but he came to such a well-planned conspiracy that he almost fell into it; But it is also considerate and caring, as if it is ...... with good intentions. When the evening breeze blew, Lu Zhong couldn't help but shiver; The soaked underwear sticks to the body and becomes cold. The hot flashes on my face gradually subsided, and my mind slowly cooled down. He carefully recalled today's negotiations one by one, looking for possible omissions. I thought about how to tell my brother about all this. The faces of the world are so unreal, waiting to be uncovered layer by layer. From the time their brothers embarked on the road of business, hypocrisy and deception followed, especially in the Jewel Shop, where almost all the rules of light and dark were born for deception and anti-deception; Anti-deception has almost become a survival instinct. But even then, he almost stepped into the trap...... Why is that?

When Lu Zhong came back to his senses from his thoughts, he had already turned from the west of the city to the north of the city, and walked along the avenue north of the city for a while. At this time, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be lost. Under the half-round waning moon, the fields in the area are so similar, and the distant Songshan Mountain is hidden in the dark, and there is nothing to suggest where to turn to the trail and return to the small town where Ma San is. Lu Zhong was a little flustered. He tried to recall the details of his visit, trying to find some landmarks to refer to, but he didn't remember anything. He didn't dare to go any further, and he didn't dare to take a random turn to a gathering to ask for directions—you don't know who lives here, and if you break into Haoqiang's house, you might lose your life quietly. He knew for himself that he still had three pieces of gold cake left on his body. In desperation, he had decided to find a sheltered place to stop, and if he couldn't find a place, he barely managed to spend the night in the wilderness. That's when he noticed someone in the field. He stopped, and just as he didn't know what to do, he had already shouted loudly: "Forwarder, Mr. Lu?" ”

Lu Zhong heard from his voice that it was Zheng Anping, he was overjoyed, and replied loudly: "Dare to be Zheng Gongzihu?" ”

The two sides walked to one place, and they all saw each other. It turned out that Ma San saw that Niu Er arrived first, Zheng Anping and Uncle Tang arrived later, and Lu Zhong did not return for a long time, so he was uneasy, so he hurriedly returned to Lu Bo and took Zheng Anping and Niu Er out.

Ma San said: "When you are young, you will always learn from the elders, and you will return at sunset, otherwise you will be fascinated by ghosts." ”

Lu Zhong said: "It's not far away! Regardless of Niu Er, Zheng Gongzi and Uncle Tang are also new, how can they find their place? ”

Zheng Anping said: "There is a lying stone next to this road, so I know it." ”

Lu Zhong looked back and saw a lying stone at the end of the path. The stone is not big, and you can't see it at all if you don't pay attention. He asked Ma San again: "The third brother lives here as a child, how can he be taught to know the way home?" - I hope that all the ways are the same, and it is difficult to distinguish them. ”

Ma Sandao: "There is a dark ditch at the crossing, when it rains, the water goes down the ditch, enters the field, the water is unstoppable, the road is broken, often wading through the water, or can not stand on it." ”

Lu Zhong stopped his steps, turned back to take a closer look, and saw that there was a shallow ditch at the entrance of the small road, cut from the avenue, not deep nor wide, but it was just enough to drain the stagnant water on the avenue. There is the guidance of Ma San, which is vaguely recognizable under the moon. I can't help but wonder, can this also show the way? I can only keep it in my heart. Since Ma San, who has lived here for many years, can't find a more obvious landmark, it can only be it.
