Xin Shansi didn't want to disturb him, but she had to leave here quickly: "Check out." ”

"Huh?" The shopkeeper propped up his misty eyes, and the corners of his eyes were still thick with yellow, looking at the woman in front of the counter, he was stunned for two breaths before he reacted, Huo De stood up: "You are so early?" ”

"Well, I'm in a hurry to get back." Yesterday when she booked a room, she paid 30 yuan. A night in a room is 20 wen.

took back the room card and hung it, and the shopkeeper counted ten coppers and returned it to the guest: "You don't need breakfast?" ”

"Nope." Xin Shansi took the money and walked out of the inn. In the wee hours of the morning, it was a little chilly. She went west along the street, turned right when she reached the north-south fork, and headed north. Lu was heavy, and when she left Changhe Town, her eyelashes were condensed. There was a mountain in the distance, and she went that way.

When she went to the official road at dawn, she grabbed the shoulder straps of the basket with both hands, and walked briskly ahead with her eyes in front of her, her steps steady and light. There was already sweat on his forehead, and he didn't wipe it.

Wangshan is not far away, you can walk for half a day, and the distance seems to have not been shortened at all. With the scorching sun above her head, she had no discomfort except for the fire on her face.

"Driving... Driving..."The man with a bad face rode a high-headed horse and whipped wildly, causing dust to fly.

In the morning, four waves had passed, and Xin Shansi was used to seeing it, covering her mouth and nose and walking along the side of the road.

There are few travelers on the road, especially a woman. Someone had already noticed the girl with the basket on her back, and for two or three hours, her pace had not changed.

After walking a few more miles, Xin Shansi saw a tea house from a distance, and couldn't help but feel two points faster under her feet. Her mouth is dry, and she must ask the store later, where is there a bigger town here? She's going to buy a water bladder.

There are four tables outside the tea house, and there are already seven or eight guests occupying three seats. Hearing the sound of a car behind her, Xin Shansi trotted up and rushed to the tea house, ignoring the gazes of the few people who were sitting and resting, and quickly grabbed a corner seat.

"Guest, what are you doing?" The old man was dressed in a dusty short fight, hunched over and brought a pot of tea: "The small shop has noodles and rice, and the meat and pig's head meat are the best, and there are thirteen pieces of tea." The vegetarian green onion noodles are fragrant like an egg, and it is only four cents. ”

"Trouble for a bowl of rice." Xin Shansi took the teapot and poured water, glanced at the line that slowly stopped the carriage, and added: "Fry two more eggs." ”

A carved carriage with four horses on the left and right, followed by two green shack carriages. As soon as he saw your lord, the old man of the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him: "Everyone, please sit in the house." ”

Is there another room in the love room? Xin Shansi lowered her head and drank water, her eyes not wandering.

Two mothers-in-law and four maids came down from the green shed car, and surrounded the carved carriage. The coachman who drove the carved carriage was not very old, and his facial features were deeper than those of the Central Plains, his hair was slightly yellow, and he simply tied a braid diagonally and hung down on his chest. He knelt beside the carriage and lay down.

After a few breaths, the curtain was lifted from the inside, and a beautifully embroidered shoe stretched out. The woman in the carriage was gorgeously dressed, half-masked, wearing a crown on her head, and stepped on the back of the coachman to support her mother-in-law's raised hands and got out of the carriage. The entourage was vigilant.

The shopkeeper couldn't hide his joy, and asked again: "The sun is very hot, and the guests can sit in the house quickly." ”

More than a dozen people hugged the woman and walked into the tea house. The woman coughed lightly twice and said softly: "After sitting in the carriage for a long time, I am in a panic, so let's rest outside here." ”

Where are the empty tables outside? There were not enough seats for their group. Xin Shansi looked at the water in the tea bowl, and had no intention of moving her buttocks.

The store looks at this and that, and there are some difficulties, and they are all customers. Glancing at the girl sitting alone at the table, I wanted to step forward and ask someone to make it convenient, but the master was already one step faster.

A big man with a beard, holding a knife in his right hand, pointed the handle on the table, and his tone was cold and hard like an order: "You go and sit in the house." ”

Xin Shansi didn't hesitate to pick up the basket and get up, her eyes raised into a pair of watery beautiful eyes. The eyelids are slightly swollen and saggy, and the corners of the eyes have fine lines. Woman? She looked at the group without a trace.

"Liang Tong, don't be rude." The half-masked woman's eyes were filled with a smile: "Is the girl alone?" ”

That smile didn't make Xin Shan feel kind, she bowed her head slightly: "Yes, you can sit down." ”

"I still understand the principle of first come, first come." The woman spoke slowly and leaned her head to signal to her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law who was supporting her immediately took out a bag from her sleeve, picked out a small gold ingot and sent it forward: "Trouble girl." ”

Xin Shansi glanced at the little gold ingot, and then looked at the woman, and saw that her smile was kind, and her heart was cold. Is this unsophisticated, or are the bad guys old and know how to disguise? A few steps away were looking at this, she had met the woman for the first time and had no grievances, but the woman wanted her to die.

"Take it, it's not easy to be out alone." The statue of the woman was completely unaware of anything wrong.

After another two deep breaths, Xin Shansi suddenly smiled, and reached out to take it: "Thank you." "Looking over the coachman, this is a Mongolian dress. Moving into the room and sitting, she had a guess in her mind. The woman outside... Could it be the heroine Tan Siyu's mother?

The age is right, and he coughs and coughs, obviously sick, and there are Mongolian people as attendants by his side. In addition, when the heroine had an accident, Hongdaigu was busy doing happy events. That's just the last few days.

The store brought the food and apologized in a suppressed voice: "You use it slowly, the rice is not enough to add, I will serve you a bowl of soup." ”

"Thank you." Xin Shansi ate two golden fried eggs, took out the dried bamboo shoots stewed in oil, and took out a large piece of bibimbap, which was fragrant with green onions. The craftsmanship of full embroidery is really good, but in this ancient time, she really can't live. Bamboo shoots and dry bibimbap, the rice is shiny. I couldn't help but take two big bites, and I was 100% satisfied.

I don't know what kind of husband my grandmother will find for Manxiu?

It was so appetizing that Xin Shansi used two large bowls and added another bowl of vegetable soup. After eating, she was not in a hurry to leave, took out the sewing kit, and started to tie the rope as if no one was around.

No one spoke outside, she finished playing a heart-saving plum blossom string, and the line left. After drawing a few more strands of thread to weave the knot, she continued to think about things. The little gold ingot had to be two taels, and when it was converted into silver, it was twenty taels. It's not much, but it's a lot... It's a defenseless lonely woman with an upper appearance.

She couldn't figure out why the woman had behaved like this, and she didn't want to bother trying to figure it out again.

Popularity? Xin Shansi analyzes the current situation, all she can use is a strong internal force, to be specific... It's a lot of strength. How can some children dare not mess with it?

The masters in martial arts dramas are full of confidence, and most of them are inconspicuous and leaky. She is weak, plus her age is on her face, she must show a little mountain dew and water to make a noise and shock.

This mountain dew is also very exquisite. When it seems to be inadvertently... Show your hand as usual, and then continue to do your own thing indifferently, such as tying ropes and sewing clothes.

In fact, Xin Shansi didn't know that a few people sitting outside who were resting and not leaving were thinking about her in their hearts at the moment. Where's the little girl? I dare to take the gold ingots given by the Mongolian people, and I am still in the mood to make gadgets after eating... She is either unaware of her situation, or she has the ability to deal with it and is not afraid at all.

Is that the former or the latter?

With long narrow eyes and a thin face, he leaned over to the man who stepped on the bench on the side, raised his hand to block his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Is she practicing her fingers when she makes up that thing?" Look at her ten fingers, how flexible? I wonder how her wrist strength is? ”

"It's not going to be small. Didn't you see how easy she was carrying her back basket? The strong man sitting opposite him with his teeth picked, and his mouth bowed towards the official: "When she came, I noticed it, and her breath was light and her steps were light." ”

"And also..."The square-faced man with his back to the door leaned towards the middle of the table, and his voice was very low: "She's clean, she's on the road alone..." ”

The narrow eyes fell to the bottom as soon as the mood fell, and he said that he would not mention it.

The man who stepped on the bench smiled: "The last one who did this has already opened sixty-three medical halls with the money he extorted. ”

"Let's go, it's only twenty taels of silver, let's not miss that." The long narrow eyes got up, sniffed, and their eyes were red: "Old man, settle the bill." "The surname Li is really poisonous! Man is ten times more poisonous than the poison he refines.

"No hurry, I want to see if she's fishing?"

"What if?"

"There is only one on the li."

"What if her surname is Yan?"

"Who's Yan?"

"Hades."

Chapter 8

After compiling the blessing knot, Xin Shansi counted five cents and came out: "Shop, where are there water bladders sold around here?" ”

"Water bladders?" The old Chinese tone was a little surprised: "We have it," and hurriedly asked his wife to fetch it, "or my son brought it back from the north, there are only two left." ”

Xin Shansi smiled: "That's great, and it saves me a lot of work." ”

The water bladder was brought, and the old man was not in a hurry to say the price: "Girl, you touch it first, this is made of fine cowhide, and the craftsmanship is fine." ”

The water bladder is not small, Xin Shansi took it and looked at it carefully. Because it's new, it feels a little harder. I sniffed it closely, but it didn't taste much.

"How much?"

The old man hesitated and raised three fingers: "Three hundred big money, it can't be missing." ”

It's not cheap. Xin Shansi sniffed the water bladder again, and said in a flat tone: "Two hundred and fifty sons, I will take them." ”

"Girl, go out and take a look, this water bladder is brought back from the north." The old woman on the side couldn't help but say: "Three hundred wen is sold to you, and my family doesn't make a few children." ”

Xin Shansi raised her eyes and looked at the old man who couldn't hold it, and handed back the water bladder: "At most, two hundred and sixty wen, I don't have to." When you encounter a bamboo forest on the road, cut two bamboos and make some bamboo tubes, which are used the same. ”

The old man didn't take over, and gritted his teeth: "Two hundred and sixty is two hundred and sixty." Girl, you don't lose anything. My son's one only used for a few years, and it didn't seep out a single bit of water. How can a bamboo tube compare to this? ”

After paying, Xin Shansi asked the store to bring her a bucket of water, carefully cleaned the water bladder twice, shook off the water and covered it with a cloth, poured water and placed it vertically on the side of the bamboo basket. Leaving the tea house, she still walked along the side as she did in the morning.

Along the way, she kept an eye on her body. Strange to say, except for the stab in the morning, she didn't wait for a second blow until it was almost dark. This made her wonder, could it be that the tingling pain in the back of her head was not a harbinger of the reversal of true qi?

Xin Shansi didn't dare to be careless, and didn't enter the town at night. She was really afraid that when she was sick, she was in a crowded place.

The dilapidated tiled houses on the side of the road, look fine. I went around in a circle, picked up some firewood, and came to the door. The plaque that fell to the ground has long been corroded by time. She lowered her head and stared at it for a long time, but she could only see the word "Zhuang" clearly.

The squeak of the half-hidden rotten wooden door was carefully pushed open with firewood, which was particularly infiltrating in the evening. Seeing the ashes on the ground, Xin Shansi breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to have a break here. The wilderness house has never rested, so it's weird.

When she entered the house, she set up a fire first, and with the fire, her heart was more steady. With a broom with a few branches left, sweep the floor and sweep the dust and broken tiles to the edge of the fire. She didn't plan to boil porridge tonight, so she took out the steamed buns and roasted them, and ate them with dried bamboo shoots.

There was not much water in the water bladder, and she had to find a place to fill it early tomorrow morning.

Before the two steamed buns were down, Xin Shansi's right ear moved slightly, her eyelashes fell, and the sound of horses' hooves came faintly. Unsurprisingly, she could hear the movement from afar, patted the crumbs on her hand, took a broken tile and put it beside her, and smashed it with some force. After that, I took two sips of water, took out the sewing kit, and began to tie again.

That's her livelihood.

With a "law", the three horses stopped, and the one in front was very young, and a pair of willow eyebrows made him look a little feminine. But the bulge between his throat indicates that he is a man.

"Master, someone." The middle-aged goatee who was half a horse behind wrung his eyebrows and looked at the translucent tiled house.

The man with willow eyebrows had a smile in his eyes: "Let's rest here tonight." ”

The bearded man at the end didn't have much of an opinion. Their leaders are naturally good at making fun. Pull the reins and turn the horse's head to follow.

In the room, Xin Shansi sat cross-legged, sneering with a serious face. Xu had imagined a similar scene a long time ago, and she would be quite calm. Serious people on the rivers and lakes all preach morality, she doesn't take the initiative to provoke, and she won't trouble her if she wants to.

Of course, when dealing with unscrupulous people, you can only defend yourself desperately. Life has to be lived, how to live? I've tried too hard.

The rotten wood door was open. When the horse approached, the three of them could see inside the house. Seeing a girl sitting by the fire and making up something, they all tightened their eyebrows and raised their vigilance. If you want to say that walking on the rivers and lakes, what are you most afraid of, there are no more than three kinds?

1. The elderly; Second, children, third, women.

The three dismounted, and the bearded man pulled the horse to the west side of the house. Liu Yemei led the goatee, relaxed his steps and entered, making sure that there was no one next to him, and raised his hand to salute: "Disturb." ”

Xin Shansi raised her eyes to look at the person, and the movements of her hands did not slow down at all. She didn't say anything and went about her business. Liu Yemei, a boy and a girl, someone almost called him the leader of the voice...

"Master, the horse is on a leash." The bearded man came back with three baggage.

"Tie it up, tie it up, what are you yelling about?" While Liu Yemei reprimanded, he also glanced at the side of the fire: "You are disturbing others." ”

Xin Shansi's face was the same, and she cried in her heart. Fang Shengli, the leader of the Santong Sect, is a boy and a girl, both good and evil, his thin cloud sword is softer than silk, but it does not drop blood. This man has a problem, and he is extremely curious. Usually only take two people with them, Mr. Shi Tong with a goatee, and a big fool with a big beard.

It's all right, she really wants to sing, "I want to cry... But they can't cry. Crying will arouse Fang Shengli's curiosity.

Goatebeard Shitong stood in the house for a while, and found that they didn't want to pay attention to them at all, so he was embarrassed: "I'll go collect some firewood." ”

Fang Shengli squatted by the fire without skin and face, and opened his hands to roast the fire. Da Yu looked at him like that, and couldn't help but rub his forearm, this is not the ninth winter?

Xin Shansi followed him, but he didn't see it. Fang Shengli glanced left, there were seventeen pieces of rubble beside her, and her heart was like being rubbed by a cat, carefully discerning the woman's clothes, trying to find out her origin. Unfortunately, nothing.

Shi Tong, who came back from collecting firewood, reported: "Sect leader, there is an old well not far from Yizhuang, and the well is covered. The subordinates looked at it, and the well water was very clean. ”

Yizhuang? Is it the Yizhuang she thought? Xin Shansi admired her luck and struggled to maintain the calm on her face. The ashes of the previous fire can't be the fall of people burning paper money, right? Then is it disrespectful for her to put firewood on the ashes?

Amitabha, the little woman has no intention of offending, please forgive me once. After passing by in the future, I ordered to buy incense to apologize.

Da Yu followed Shi Tong out together. In Yizhuang, only the sound of sparks exploding. Fang Shengli was still squatting by the fire, his eyes focused on the two hands that were weaving plum blossoms.

Xin Shansi made up her mind to respond to all changes with the same. Before Shi Tong and Da Yu came back, there was a burst of laughter outside the house. Fang Shengli didn't move, she had to sit firmly.
