Chapter 64: Boarding the Thief Ship
When Li Hao regained consciousness again, the sky was already bright.
He was thrown on his horse all night, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he began to vomit, and his snot and tears choked out.
This is uncomfortable......
Suddenly, he realized something, hurriedly closed his eyes, and said: "A good man spares his life, I am from Jinling, I have a lot of money, if I want money, ...... it."
"I'm not short of money." Li Qing thought it was interesting and deliberately said in a thick voice.
"Then ...... you" Li Hao's heart was cold for a while, and he said busily: "Good man, money can make ghosts grind, you are not rare money because money is not enough, my family is rich, what about maritime business, how many super-large merchant ships, 100,000 taels of silver is enough?" â
That's too thin, isn't it...... Li Qing was speechless, "Who do you see who I am?" â
"Don't you dare to look, I understand the rules on the road, don't worry, I won't retaliate." Li Hao hurriedly said: "It is estimated that the 100,000 taels of silver will not be taken away, so is it good to exchange it for gold?" You name it, and I'll have someone deliver it to you with a letter. â
Balabala......
Li Qing was annoyed by the noise, and pressed him on the neck, "Shut up!" âgÅÎ b.Åγg
"Spare your life, spare your life...... Li Hao shouted, heartbroken, "I'm only sixteen, and I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so I died like this, and the Lord of Yama won't accept it......"
"Huh~" Li Qing lost his patience, stopped his horse, and pulled him up by the collar, "Look who I am?" â
Li Hao closed his eyes, tilted his head, and cried, "Hero, you can spare my life, I'm still ...... young."
"If you don't open your eyes, I'll kill you right now!!"
Li Hao shuddered, hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Li Qing, he was immediately surprised and delighted, and then ...... Rage.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Yes? Li Hao's lungs were about to explode, "Do you know how I had my time last night, you know ......"
"It's noisy......" Li Qing was angry, and threw his hand to give him two big mouths, and then drove the horse on.
As soon as Li Hao's mouth opened and closed, he couldn't make a sound, at first he was stunned, and then he was frightened......
People are tired, horses are tired, and even if two horses are ridden alternately, the speed is still not fast.
Until the evening, the two did not enter the city, but fortunately there was a small village, and Li Qing spent a tael of silver to settle in a farmer's house.
At this time, Li Hao regained his ability to speak.
Without waiting for him to speak, Li Qing said directly: "Either settle down, or get out, and then force Lai Lai with me, and whip you with a big-eared scraper!" â
"You ......" Li Hao's eyes widened angrily, and he immediately changed to a smiling face, "You are a master, how can a master worry about his grandson?" â
"Huh." Li Qing sneered, he couldn't see that this guy was unconvinced, but he didn't care about this.
"That...... Master, what you said before is right, my grandson really can't bear this hardship, you are compassionate, just treat me as a fart, let me go, right? "Li Hao is well versed in 'people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads', with a low face.
Li Qing smiled: "You can leave at any time." â
"I ......" Li Hao resisted his impulse and said, "You have to give me some money, right?" As the saying goes: a penny is hard to beat a hero; As the saying goes: the poor are rich and the road is ......"
"Where do you get so many witty words." Li Qing raised his hand and poked it, depriving him of the ability to speak again.
Li Hao dared to be angry and couldn't speak, he had the intention to lift the table, but he was afraid of his mouth, which was called a grievance.
At this time, the main family came in with food, "It's cold, the two of you have eaten, let's rest early." â
It can be seen that he is still very wary of the two, but the temptation of the one or two pieces of silver is too great, and the two of them are well-dressed and have good faces, so they agreed to let them stay overnight.
"It's trouble," Li Qing bowed his head and said comfortingly: "Brother, don't be afraid, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and we really can't find the inn." â
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay." The old man shook his hand, smiled, and withdrew.
Li Qing walked to the door and tied the door, turned around and sat down at the lame table, and said, "Come and have a bite to eat." â
Li Hao turned his head away, looking disdainful.
The people in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion eat better than this.
Dogs don't eat this meal!
In fact, the meal is not particularly bad, a scrambled egg, a fried cabbage with lard, as well as steamed buns and rice porridge.
Of course, it stands to reason that Li Qing spent a tael of silver, and the meal should be better, but they came at night, and the host family did not prepare.
Li Qing also didn't want to ask the master to kill the laying hens.
In a hurry, some of the food is very good, thinking that when he returned to Beijing from Jiaozhi, and then went to Xuanda from Beijing, he was almost always hungry.
If you like to eat or not, Li Qing is not used to it, and it is not him who is hungry anyway.
Li Qing ate with relish.
Li Hao has not eaten anything from noon yesterday to now, fainted and vomited in the morning, coupled with high-intensity rushing, his chest is pressed against his back, saying that he is not hungry, it is fake.
What's more, Li Qing still sighed.
Seeing that the scrambled eggs were almost gone, and the four steamed buns were gone, Li Hao knew that if he continued to hold on, he would really not be able to eat.
He hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the last steamed bun, and took a big bite.
Next, sit down and pick up chopsticks to pick up the food.
(â¯âœâ°) really fragrant~~
He protected the vegetable bowl with one hand, pulled it into his mouth vigorously, and took a bite of the steamed bun from time to time, his mouth was stuffed full, pouting, and the food was about to come out.
Li Qing pursed his lips, didn't grab it from him, and took a small sip of rice porridge......
Half an hour later, Li Hao licked his lips unsatisfactorily...... Didn't eat enough.
"I'm going to be in a hurry tomorrow morning, so let's rest early." Li Qing said.
Li Hao pointed to his mouth.
ââŠâŠ It's all here, don't bother people. â
"Ho ho ho ......" Li Hao shook his head and motioned for himself to regain his ability to speak.
"Say it first, and then I can make you dumb directly."
Li Hao's heart palpitated and nodded again and again.
Li Qing raised his hand to regain his ability to speak, and then walked straight towards the bed.
"Master... Grandpa Li," Li Hao didn't dare to speak loudly to Li Qing, and said softly: "I miss home, I really ......"
"The leg is on you, if you want to go back, you can go back, can I still tie you up?"
"Can you give me some money, then?" Li Hao prayed with his eyes.
"No," Li Qing ruthlessly refused, "If you have the ability, go back by yourself, and if you don't have the ability, follow me to Baoding Mansion." â
After a pause, "Just like you, at first glance, you are the son of a noble family, and you will really meet the robbers when you turn around...... What will happen, you say? â
Li Hao was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Then can you send me back?" â
Li Qingyou said: "An inch of light and gold ...... an inch of gold"
"I'll buy it!" Li Hao's face is not bad for money.
"You can buy my time with my money." Li Qing muttered and snorted, "When you earn money with your own hands, let's say this again." â
Li Hao: "......"
Until now, he still doesn't understand that he has gotten on the thief ship, but if he wants to go down, he can't.
"Alas, if Heaven gives me a chance to do it all over again......"
"Huh?"
Li Hao was excited, hurriedly covered his mouth, and hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he was not pressing.
Li Qing's face softened a little, lay down on the bed, and said lightly, "Rest." â
"I ...... Where do I sleep? Li Hao looked at a small bed, Li Qing accounted for most of it, and wanted to cry without tears.
"Let's squeeze it." Li Qing yawned, "Give you a chance to sleep, if you don't take advantage of it, you can't blame me." â
Li Hao: "......"
The quilt is not thin, but it is not very warm, and the bed board under him is hard, which is really panicked, plus the experience of this day...... Li Hao tossed and turned, obviously tired, but he couldn't sleep.
"Don't toss and turn, you'll lose the heat in the bed."
ââŠâŠ Be. Li Hao didn't dare to be strong, his body was straight and straight, and it was even more uncomfortable......
~
"Wake up, it's time to hit the road." Li Qing patted Li Hao's face and woke him up.
The quilt that has been warm all night has finally warmed up, but it is also leaving.
Li Hao's face was full of lovelessness, and he was on the verge of collapse.
"Master, I feel ...... I'm dying. Li Hao looked hysterical, "Just let me sleep for a while." â
"You just haven't suffered hardship, just get used to it." Li Qing urged, "Hurry up, otherwise I'm welcome." â
Li Hao: "......"
~
It's another day of hurrying, Li Hao is almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and he really feels that if he continues like this, he may not survive Baoding Mansion.
However, he really didn't dare to talk to Li Qingqiang, that big mouth...... It hurts more than his father's beating.
The father is the father in the end, but this surname Li is different, he really got a dead hand.
Many times, Li Hao once felt that this surnamed Li was going to kill him.
Fortunately, this time when I entered the city, the iron rooster was also rare and generous, I asked for the No. 1 room of Tianzi, and ordered a table of sumptuous dishes.
Li Hao had a full meal, took a hot bath after finishing his work, and lay on the soft bed, he was so happy that he almost cried.
But that's not all.
Early the next morning, Li Qing told him that this time he had to replenish for the last time, and then rushed to Baoding Mansion in one go!
'Are you going to kill me?' â
Li Hao dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak......
âŠ
The sixteenth day of the first month.
Baoding Mansion.
Li Hao looked at the big characters on the city, tears of happiness swirled in his eyes, and finally ...... The hard days have passed.
Before that, he had never thought that he could go from Jinling to Baoding Mansion in only twelve days.
It's ...... Outrageous!
But he did it, and looking back on the way, he was full of sadness, blood and tears.
"Master, let's have a full meal, change our clothes, and then go to the Shen family, shall we?" Li Hao said, "This is to talk about business, just the two of us...... There is really the style of the fallen eternal marquis. â
After gnawing on dry food for seven or eight days, his cheeks hurt badly, and he wanted to eat something soft, hot, and preferably meaty......
Li Qing glanced at him, Sao Bao's oily head was dry and messy at the moment, like weeds, and his body was dusty, and his childish face actually had a sense of vicissitudes, and he couldn't help but nod with relief:
"It's really grown."
Li Hao couldn't hold back, "After a few more days, I will grow into the soil." â
"Hey~?"
"It's wrong, it's wrong," Li Hao hurriedly begged for mercy, and said pitifully, "Master, my grandson is hungry." â
Li Qing: "...... Walking. â
On a cold day, a big bowl of haggis soup, half a catty of mutton, and scallion pancakes...... Li Hao was so delicious that he cried.
After eating and drinking, his whole body was warm, Li Hao was in a better mood, and he didn't feel that the north was cold, and he finally understood his father's wise words.
- Eat and drink well and miss home!
