Bai Xing didn't say anything about tears on his face, but he was beautiful in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he lifted the curtain and whispered to Shen cuttlefish: "Hey, thank you." Shen cuttlefish replied casually without replying: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to save some money, as the so-called penny is difficult to beat a hero." Save money now so you can plan for the future. ”

Bai Xing said thank you and showed him goodwill, it can be seen that Shen Cuttlefish not only did not appreciate it, but also was so arrogant and rampant, pretending, so he became angry and angry, kicked Shen Cuttlefish in the back of the waist, kicked him out of the carriage, and hummed the song contentedly put down the curtain and sat back in the carriage. Mingjue hurriedly grabbed the reins, jumped out of the carriage to help Shen cuttlefish up, and whispered, "Shen Gongzi, are you okay?"

"Don't don't, don't, you let me be in the same car with that unreasonable eldest lady, it's better to kill me!" Shen Cuttlefish shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, rubbed his waist and sat back in the car, and continued to drive forward, Shen Cuttlefish turned around helplessly and shouted: "I said Miss, I'm just joking, don't you be so ruthless?"

Bai Xing tearfully lifted the curtain again, and the cold fingertips swept across the back of Shen Cuttlefish's neck, making him feel goosebumps, Bai Xing Tears sneered and said: "If you dare to talk to Miss Ben again in the future, I will cut off your tongue!" Shen Cuttlefish couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and looked at Mingjue on the side, Mingjue had to shrug his shoulders and still smile and said to him: "Amitabha." ”

Pei Jingnian walked in front, turned back from time to time, and was relieved to see the carriage following closely behind. The four of them talked and laughed all the way, played and made trouble, but they were also cheerful, and headed towards Yanzhou Mansion, which was more than 100 miles away. When I saw the boundary monument of Yanzhou Mansion, I had entered the jurisdiction of Yanzhou Mansion, which was only more than 30 miles away from the south gate of Yanzhou Mansion, but the days were shorter in this winter, and the sky was getting darker, and everyone was not anxious, and it seemed that they had given up entering the city and settled in the inn.

The huge red wheel as red as blood hung in the sky, leaving countless colors between the snow-white mountains and the deep sky. The orange and purple red light overlaps, thousands of threads are woven into a piece of colorful Xia cloth, if the clear spring water pours thousands of miles, the river and the sea rush, the vast heaven and earth, sprinkled on the snow-white peaks and mountains and reflect the colorful glow. The blood sun had already overlapped with the sky, sinking inch by inch, and the light gradually dimmed, until the entire roulette wheel disappeared into the western mountain, but the tail of the glow still reflected the pure white snow.

When the last touch of red glow finally dissipated with the howling cold wind, it was like spring water washing away the quicksand, leaving no trace, as if it had never appeared in this world. On the other side, the edge has climbed up a layer of night like thick ink at the bottom of the inkstone, enveloping everything in the world. When the four of them came to the city of Yanzhou Mansion, they saw that the city gate was closed, and a row of torches was lit on the city tower. There are also patrolling soldiers on the city tower, holding long halberds in their hands, fluttering flags, majestic and solemn.

"Sure enough, it was still a step too late. Pei Jingnian seemed to have expected this situation, and he was not too disappointed, so he turned his horse back to the carriage and said, "Everyone, it seems that we are really going to spend the night outside the city today. Mingjue looked around, there was silence, only the biting cold wind whistling in his ears, and some chapped lips lightly opened: "It's better to find a place to stay, just like last night in the temple of that mountain." ”

But driving a carriage and riding a horse outside the city for most of the circle but failed to see a single house, far worse than the Anhuai Mansion, Shen Cuttlefish couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that it is only a hundred miles away from the Anhuai Mansion, how can it be so deserted? I can't even see a single home?" As he was talking, he suddenly saw a cluster of lights faintly flashing in the dense forest in the distance. After a while, he turned his horse around, stood on his horse and said happily to everyone: "There is a family in front!"

"There's no end to it. Shen Cuttlefish took the reins from Mingjue's hand and hurriedly said, "Just stay there tonight." The four of them drove to the house of the candle-lit house, and the one-man high wall enclosed the house in the middle, although it was not very magnificent, but it occupied a large area, and it seemed to be a large family. Shen Cuttlefish jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door with Pei Jingnian.

First knocked lightly on the wooden door, but there was no movement, and then knocked harder, but there was still no response, Shen Cuttlefish and Pei Jingnian glanced at each other, slapped the door twice with the palm of their hands, and then smashed the hammer with a fist, and finally helplessly tore open his throat and shouted: "Hey, there is someone! Is there no one in such a big house?"

There was finally movement behind the door, and an extremely weak voice sounded: "Who are you......" Shen Cuttlefish still let go of his voice and shouted: "We are passing by the Jianghu people, because it is late, we missed the time to enter the city, so we have no choice but to ask the officials to rest here for a night." I also hope that the officials will help. But Shen Cuttlefish's voice had fallen, but there was no movement in the house.

"What is the situation?" the crowd looked at each other, not knowing why. Bai Xing leaned out of the carriage and said, "Tell me about you, you can't even ask for a lodging, what are you talking about?"

Shirahoshi replied innocently with tears in his eyes, "Break the door open." The man originally answered, indicating that there was someone in the house, but he suddenly did not answer, obviously eavesdropping behind the door. It's better to break open this wooden door and see what the hell that person is up to. Bai Zejian had already been pulled out more than three inches long, but he was pressed back by Shen Cuttlefish, and then blocked Bai Xing's tears behind him and said helplessly: "My little orange, please stop making trouble." ”

Bai Xing's face turned crimson when he heard this, but fortunately the night was thick and he couldn't see his face clearly, so he was not too embarrassed, he snorted and stepped aside, and said with a sneer: "I see how you call this door open today." Shen Cuttlefish looked at the wall that was as tall as one person, compared his height, spat twice in the palm of his hand, and was about to jump into the wall.

"You don't want to climb over the wall to get in?" Bai Xing burst out laughing when he saw this, and he laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, tears splashed, and he covered his stomach and laughed, "I thought you had any good way?" Shen Daxia, Shen Daxia, you really can't change your petty thief nature." Shen Cuttlefish was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he stopped talking, but Pei Jingnian looked at him with a serious face, and said slowly: "Shen Gongzi, according to the laws of this dynasty, climbing over the wall and entering the hospital is a private house, and it will be punished with the same crime as burglary." ”

Shen Cuttlefish became more and more embarrassed, but Bai Xingxian smiled more cheerfully, and the roots of Shen Cuttlefish's teeth were itchy, but he had to mumble in a low voice: "Who said I was going over the wall, really, just kidding." Then he turned to the people and said, "Then everyone, I have no tricks, it's up to you." It's just that I remember that the law will never allow people from the rivers and lakes to break in?" Bai Xing glared at him with tears and did not speak.

Mingjue, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth, pinched the rosary and said, "Amitabha, why don't you let the little monk try it?" Shen cuttlefish asked: "What method do you have to get that person to open the door?" Mingjue replied truthfully: "Knock on the door." The three of them were stunned when they heard this, as if they had been tricked, and Shen Cuttlefish was afraid that something would happen to his ears, so he asked in disbelief: "You, what are you talking about?"

Mingjue smiled and bowed back: "Shen Gongzi, the little monk's method is to knock on the door. Shen Cuttlefish sneered twice when he heard this, and then made way for him and said, "Come, please ask our Mingjue Master to knock on this door for us that we have not opened for a long time." Pei Jingnian was silent, Bai Xingxian was also waiting to see the joke, the three of them stood behind him, watched Mingjue walk to the door, knocked on the wooden door and said softly: "Amitabha, the benefactor in the house, don't be afraid." I'm a walking monk, it's dark, I have nowhere to stay, I want to borrow a night, I don't know if I can?"

Shen Cuttlefish and Bai Xingxian were about to see Mingjue's appearance, so as to laugh at him, who knew that the wooden door that had not moved before had staggered a thin crack when Mingjue finished the last word, and the people in the room looked at Mingjue carefully through the crack in the door, and saw that he was holding a rosary, wearing a monk's robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a ring scar on the top of his head, he was indeed dressed as a monk, so he asked in an extremely weak voice: "Little Master...... Which temple are you a monk from, and where are you from...... Where are you going......

"Amitabha, the little monk is from the White Horse Temple in Anhuai Mansion, and is about to go to Yanzhou Mansion, but the city gate is closed, there is nowhere to stay, and the donor is asked to stay overnight. Mingjue folded his hands and bowed. As soon as the words fell, the wooden door opened, Pei Jingnian was still calm as usual, but the white star tears and Shen cuttlefish were shocked, dumbfounded, and couldn't swallow their tongues. With his mouth wide open, he stared at the slowly opening wooden door.

A man dressed in a brocade robe, but tattered, extremely sloppy and dirty, and dressed as a scholar, appeared in the sight of everyone, and looked closely at the person's withered appearance, yellow and thin face, listless, like a frosted eggplant, with a cloak and dark circles under his eyes were extremely obvious, as if he had not eaten or slept after being hungry for a long time. Shen Cuttlefish rolled up his sleeves and was about to swing his fist to fight, and shouted in his mouth: "Okay, you guy, why didn't you open the door that this son called for a long time, but this monk called a few times and you opened it!

Pei Jingnian hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him to calm down. Seeing this, the master also widened his eyes, babbling and hiding behind Mingjue and trembling, pointing at Shen Cuttlefish and the others and saying: "You, you, why haven't you left, are you ......" and looked at Mingjue in horror, sat on the ground in shock, and kept retreating with both hands: "It turns out that you are a gang!"
