8 Woe to Yanzhuo City (8)
As far as Hua'er is concerned, the days are all about looking at people's faces, picking up people's teeth, and calculating bit by bit, which cannot be called a game, but in Bai Qiling's eyes, it is a small trick.
She nested in the corner of the wall, looking at Bai Qiling's face. This man's face will never be good because of his fierce face. After pondering what he had to do with it, he asked, "Was it your son who was killed?"
The flowers are not groundless, everyone in the world says that Bai Qiling is doing nonsense outside, and the descendants don't know how many there are. Either the people he killed, or the people who died, had something to do with him, and he couldn't escape one of them.
She also expected that Bai Qiling would think she was talking too much, and when he cast that look, the person shrank again and covered his mouth: "Don't ask, don't ask!" ”
She wanted to think of going out and tried to communicate with Bai Qiling: "Second Master Bai, as long as your hand is tight just now, my little life will be explained." But your compassion is just to scare me. In order to repay you, I want to tell you the truth, but I implore you to spare my life? ”
"Tell me about it." Baiqiling Road.
"Shoes, are square-toed shoes; Man, I don't see it. As for why they wanted to kill me, eighty percent thought I saw it. ”
"They're going to kill you, will it be because you took something from them?" Bai Qiling tested her.
"What's that?" Hua'er's eyes widened and she hurriedly waved her hand: "I didn't take anything!" ”
Bai Qiling glanced at her, knowing that nothing could come out of her mouth at the moment. Although this woman is not good-looking, she has good ears, and she wanders around Yanzhuo City all day long, so it is perfect to be a dog. So he pretended to give her a livelihood and asked her to inquire about some news and come to him for money. As for what kind of news, he didn't know, only said that she wanted her to see it herself. I was too lazy to talk nonsense with her anymore, so I asked the eagle to send her away. Before leaving, the eagle gave her a small piece of broken silver, and her eyes widened: "For me?" ”
"For you. Second Master Bai never uses people in vain. ”
"Second Master Bai is still a living Bodhisattva!" The flowers are grinning.
When I came out of Baifu, my legs were a little weak. Standing there and pondering for a long time, I couldn't understand Bai Qiling. Running home, the cicada was boiling medicine for her grandmother, and when she saw Hua'er entering the door, she pulled her outside and whispered to her.
"Are you alright?" Cicada asked her.
"It's okay." Hua'er said: "What about them? ”
"Went to the docks. He said that there was a caravan to unload over there, and he went early in the morning. Fifteen a day. ”
"I'll go too." The flowers ran out with the plow, ready to go there and ask for a job. The cicada shouted behind her, "Slow down! ”
"Grandma woke up and told her that I was back!" The flowers waved their hands, and the movements of their feet became faster and faster.
The wharf in Yanzhuocheng is said to be a wharf, but it only takes the waterway for four months a year, and the rest of the time is just a freight yard. Caravans from the north to the south deposited their goods here, and then purchased them through the merchants of the city. Because of the existence of the wharf, some livelihoods have been born around, and tea shops and restaurants are also lively.
The flowers pulled the plough to find Ah Yu, they were carrying firecrackers today, and this plough came in handy. The person in charge knew Hua'er before, and knew that she was clever and capable, so he also used her, but he only gave ten wen a day. The flowers are not verbose, the plow is light, Shiwen is very good, and he is happy to take this job.
Fei Nu asked her to go back to rest, she pointed to the things that Fei Nu was carrying: "Let me climb the plow, hurry up, let's finish moving this pile early, go back to cut a piece of meat, and make a tooth sacrifice today." ”
"Where's the money?"
"Second Master Bai rewarded it." Hua'er patted her waist, looked around, and whispered: "Second Master Bai asked me about that day, and when I said something, he rewarded me." ”
"What does that day have to do with him?" Ask by the night.
"Eighty percent of them. Including fires, to a greater or lesser extent. Hua'er couldn't tell the connection, but Bai Qiling obviously wanted to know what she saw, which should be useful to him: "Don't care, cut the meat first." I'll go back to him when I run out of money. ”
"He'll give it to you?"
The flowers didn't say much, they trotted up with the plow, and shuttled very lightly through the flow of coolie sellers, which was really flexible. The ears also paid attention to the words, this man said that the goods from the south were fragile, and the man said that the bad things of the owner all fell into her ears.
Bai Qiling, this dog is crumb, let me be a little ghost for him. Only then did Hua'er react, he probably thought that she couldn't escape his control, so he simply took advantage of her.
She was physically weak, but she borrowed the power of the plow, and the work was very quick, and the person in charge saw that she was willing to endure hardships, so he instructed Ah Yu: "Bring her next time, this little girl is very pleasing." ”
Hua'er smiled when she heard the praise of the master, and leaned in front of the manager and said: "I see that you lack an account, I have a sister who has a good pen, twenty-five a day, do you use it?" "In the past, the bookkeeper was thirty wen a day, and the flowers knew it, and he deliberately said five wen, wanting to ask for a job for the cicada. The shopkeeper's? sounded, and then put up a shelf with a straight face: "Let me take a look first." ”
"Alright!"
Hearing the words in the night, he gave the flying slave a look: "See? Sister Hua'er is really smart, and many times it works better than us. A few of us worked hard at the dock for half a day, and we didn't even notice the bookkeeping. ”
"That is, Sister Hua'er looks at the six roads, otherwise she wouldn't be alive today."
"Then you still wanted to set fire to Baifu last night to save her? If I hadn't pulled you, I'm afraid we would all have been killed by Second Master Bai today. "The world is so chaotic, no matter what happens, you must think about the consequences first." ”
"Got it." The Flying Slave replied.
Flowers, please fight tooth sacrifice, this is the first time. When cutting meat, everyone couldn't let go of their hands and feet, and only compared a small piece. Hua'er sneered on the side: "Do you think my brothers look down on me and think I won't be able to earn money in the future?" Just cut! ”
In the end, he cut a large piece of meat, carried it in his hand, and went home happily. Grandma drank medicine and was resting on the bedside, after a heavy snowfall, the days became colder and colder, and the old man's cough was serious. Hua'er sat in front of her grandmother's bed and held her hand, put her palm on her face, puffed out her cheeks to play with her grandmother, and the old man opened his eyes and looked at her and smiled.
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about your medicine this winter. The granddaughter has a good errand, not only will you continue to take medicine, but this year will also make you live well, eat a meat dumpling, and eat a few desserts. When Grandpa comes back, remember to praise me to Grandpa, so that Grandpa will be relieved and will not leave again. ”
Grandma Sun nodded, touched her head, and the two were close for a long time before Hua'er ran out to see the meat pot. They couldn't remember the last time the stew had been, and now several people were surrounding the iron pot, their noses moving to smell the smell of meat. Ah Song happily shouted: "It's so fragrant!" ”
"Simmer a little longer, stew softly, and the broth is used to make steamed buns." Hua'er sighed: "It would be nice if there was white noodles, rolling noodles and serving broth, not to mention how good the taste is." Last night, I was in Baifu and pretended to be crazy and stupid to beg for food, and what I was served was a bowl of noodle broth. I have eaten enough, so eat more today. ”
"Second Master Bai didn't embarrass you?" The Flying Slave asked her. Hua'er originally wanted to say that Bai Qiling scared her and strangled her, but she was afraid that everyone would worry, so she shook her head.
She was a little absent-minded, and went through everything she had heard and seen on the dock today, thinking about picking some free time to go to Baifu to exchange some money. A dog's leg is a dog's leg, and if you can earn a few more dollars, you can earn a few more dollars.
The Baiqiling had already gone out in a beautiful way, went to the West Market, abandoned the car and changed horses, and swaggered through the market. More than a dozen horses in front and behind, all burly people sitting on the horse, whips out crisp sounds, and everyone who saw them covered their ears and looked at the corner.
Bai Qiling sat on the horse, a pair of eagle eyes sneered and smiled, and the others shrank from the cold, he was good, as if the weather was not cold enough, and occasionally let the horse run, whirring with the wind.
All the way to the tea shop, he didn't get off the horse, but just asked the rest of the horses to neigh in front of the tea shop, until the shopkeeper Song ran out to meet him with his hand that was missing a finger, and held his horse rope, he got off the horse slowly.
It's only been a day, and the shopkeeper Song has changed. In the past, the famous person in Yanzhuo City was cut off by Bai Qiling, and it was soft.
Bai Qiling walked into the tea shop, the storyteller stopped telling the story, the hand pouring the tea stopped, and the tea drinker looked at him, wanting to see which one he was going to sing. As for him, he pointed to the stack of thick ledgers held by the bookkeeper behind him, and said slowly: "Reconciliation." ”
When the bookkeeper heard this, he sat at the table, crackled and started the abacus, and shouted while settling the accounts, which made everyone know about it.
Someone outside came in a panic and shouted, "Huo Lingshan is here!" Kill! Run! ”
There was chaos in the tea shop, Bai Qiling's horsewhip was against the shoulder of the shopkeeper Song who wanted to escape, pushed him to the ground, and said fiercely: "Reconciliation!" ”
