Chapter 26: A Down-and-Out Boy
Not long after eating, Uncle Li casually mentioned when he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks: "My old problem has been a recent offender, and it seems that it can't be delayed any longer." ”
"I let you see it a long time ago. It's not that the Lang Chinese medicine skills in this Jianghu are not as good as you......"
Shen Jiangge was disgusted, and he had already snatched the dishes while speaking.
Li Mo naturally knew that she was caring about herself, and said with a slight smile: "I have a friend who is in the west, and I will write a letter in a while to write down my recent situation. ”
"Uncle Li still has friends in the west? Male or female? ”
Shen Jiangge became interested when he heard it, and couldn't help but joke about Li Mo.
Li Mo "cough cough" a few times, and sighed lightly: "I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know what happened to him...... But this little favor for me to prepare a medicine, I believe he will still help. ”
"Okay, then I'll pack up and go tomorrow."
Shen Jiangge shook off the water stains on his hands and agreed.
Li Mo was a little uneasy and advised: "This time I went to the west, the road is far away, you have to be nosy, and come back when you ask for medicine, you know?" ”
"Got it."
Shen Jiangge responded casually, but he thought in his heart, "Aha, I can finally have a high-sounding excuse to go out for a walk." ”
Li Mo saw that she answered absent-mindedly, and knew that with her martial arts, few people could help her, so he went with her.
In the afternoon, Li Mo led a good horse to Shen Jiangge, gave her some silver taels, and told her to put it close to her before he was willing to let her go to the west.
After she walked away, Li Mo slowly turned around.
The moment he turned, a red-clad subordinate appeared behind him.
"Your Majesty, everything in the west will be arranged according to your instructions."
When the man saw Li Mo, he knelt down and respectfully reported.
Li Mo was obviously not surprised by the appearance of this person, he just thought about it for a while, and said: "Order someone to secretly protect the safety of the young master, and if there is a slight mistake, come and see you." ”
"Yes."
The man was ordered to quickly disappear, coming and going as if he had never been here.
Li Mo slowly walked into the room where there was only a tablet, put the freshly picked begonia flowers in front of the tablet, sighed and said softly as if chatting with the old man: "Mu Cang, if I do something wrong, will you blame ......me?"
He was met with boundless silence.
His sideburns were blown by the wind, and they were as frosty as snow.
#########
Qin Huai is not far from the west, and it is about three days to ride a horse.
Shen Jiangge's horse is good, and when it was approaching evening, he had already walked most of the way.
When she saw that twilight was approaching, and there happened to be an inn nearby, she grabbed her horse with a "whoop."
"Hey, guest officer, are you going to play the top or stay in the hotel?"
The oncoming Xiao Er threw the towel behind him, led the horse rope with a smile on his face, and tied it to the stable neatly.
"Just have a bowl of noodles. Then prepare a lower room. ”
Shen Jiangge knew that it was not easy for Li Mo to support her family, although she gave her enough silver taels to go out, she still wanted to save a little.
Xiao Er's face stiffened slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his smile and beckoned Shen Jiangge into the house.
After a while, a bowl of hot noodle soup was served.
"Your face, officer."
Xiao Er is not a very snobbish eye, and he didn't give her a look because of Shen Jiang's song points.
"Here, here you go."
Shen Jiangge took out five copper plates and handed them to Xiao Er's hand.
Xiao Er counted the copper plates, scratched his head suspiciously, and said, "The girl gave me one more." ”
"The extra one is to bother the little brother to add more grass to my horse."
Shen Jiangge naturally knew that when he was out and about, he might be able to keep a little more peace if he gave one more copper plate.
Sure enough, after Xiao Er accepted the copper plate with a smile, he took a few steps closer to Shen Jiangge, lowered his voice and said: "Girl, I see that you are not from here, listen to Xiao's advice, don't sleep too hard at night." Recently, there have been a lot of thieves here. ”
Shen Jiangge smiled slightly after hearing this, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder, little second brother." ”
Xiao Er threw the towel and went to greet the other guests.
Shen Jiangge saw that this inn was not big, but it was full of guests coming and going, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
"Presumably, this is the only way to go west. It's lively, and it's normal. ”
Shen Jiangge muttered to himself, lowered his head and began to cook.
Just as Shen Jiangge was about to finish eating, a sharp pushing sound sounded at the door.
"Stinky Hanako! I don't have the money to stay in a hotel! Roll on! ”
Shen Jiangge followed the prestige, but saw that the shopkeeper was picking up a young man in somewhat shabby clothes.
The young man was born with a clear eyebrow, but the clothes on his body seemed to have been washed and washed, and they were already full of holes.
The man was carrying a burden, a pair of clogs were covered with mud, and even blisters were faintly visible on the soles of his feet.
The young man blushed, and whispered as he stepped back: "Shopkeeper, I'm not called Hanako, I just don't have money for a while...... Please let me sleep at the door for the night......"
"I don't have money like you for a while, I've seen a lot. Go and go, don't bother me with my business. Where would anyone want to let Hanako sleep at the door? ”
The shopkeeper sent a guy to kick him out.
Shen Jiangge saw that although the young man was dressed in tatters, he always maintained a humble and respectful appearance, and there seemed to be some literati flavor in his conversation.
She thought for a moment, stood up, and walked towards the shopkeeper.
A room full of guests clearly felt that someone was going to take care of this matter, and they all looked at it and looked lively.
Just as Shen Jiangge wanted to pay for the young man, he heard a voice behind him: "So much, is it enough for him to stay for one night?" ”
Then, in the midst of the whispers of the crowd, she saw a silver ingot lying horizontally in the hand of the treasurer.
"Enough, enough, enough!"
The shopkeeper immediately smiled happily and gave Xiao Er a look.
Shen Jiangge was secretly shocked in her heart, thinking that this person was really generous, she looked back curiously.
But she saw the ugly luthier in white standing behind her.
"Is that you?"
Shen Jiangge was surprised and delighted, and asked in surprise.
At this time, Bai Lize just smiled faintly and said softly: "It seems that Zai Xia and the girl are really fateful." ”
"Why. Come, this time I'll invite you to drink. ”
When Shen Jiangge pulled Bai Lize and was about to go inside, he heard the young man behind him shouting eagerly: "Benefactor, please stay." ”
After hearing this, Bairize turned around and said softly, "Oh? "Yes.
The young man bowed respectfully and said loudly: "Thank you to the benefactor for saving me today, I don't know where the benefactor's name lives?" In the future, I will come to the door to thank you. ”
"Not necessarily."
Bairize just smiled faintly and answered.
"But ......"
The young man hesitated in place, his face stiffened and turned red again.
"If you don't want to go, you can have a drink."
Shen Jiangge knew that Bai Lize was interested in helping him, how could he care about this, so he smiled and invited.
