Chapter 2: Big and Small Rest [Medium]
"If you need anything, you can just tell me, you're welcome. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"I want money!"
Hua Nong said.
"Money?"
Liu Ruiying didn't expect that Hua Nong's first request turned out to be money.
"Yes, money. Because money always seems to be hard to come by. And without money, it seems that he can't do anything, he can't even eat, and he can't drink. ”
Hua Nong said.
"You're right. But you were paid twenty taels of silver for the wine before, why don't you?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"As I said earlier, the money is not enough for it. Besides, I don't like to owe people money, I want to have my own money. ”
Hua Nong said.
"Then I will give you twenty taels, and I will borrow it from you. When you have the money, you can pay it back to me, don't you think?"
Liu Ruiying said.
"What can you do with twenty taels?"
Hua Nong asked, taking the silver ingot.
"Look at what you're going to do. If you just eat and drink honestly, you won't be able to spend half a year. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
Hua Nong nodded.
"When I have my own money, I'll pay you back. ”
Liu Ruiying smiled and did not answer.
The carriage suddenly came to a halt with a "clang".
Liu Ruiying was stunned by this sudden pause.
His head also bumped into the roof of the carriage.
He was a little upset.
I don't know why this old horse, who has always been industrious, suddenly became like this.
When he stepped out of the carriage, he found that the road ahead was blocked by rolling stones and logs.
Their current location is at the junction of the Dingxi Domain and the Zhenbei Domain.
There is no rainy season here.
If you are in the south, it is possible that the torrential rain washed away and rolled down the mountain, blocking the road.
But the scene in front of me is obviously deliberate.
Liu Ruiying smiled coldly.
He knew that this was a strongman robbery.
"The road was broken, and we had to walk through. ”
Hua Nong also got out of the car.
"Then you go over and give it a try. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
He had the heart to exercise Hua Nong, so he said so.
"Oh......"
Hua Nong answered, and walked forward.
Not yet close to the pile of rolling stones and logs.
More than a dozen people stood up in the rear.
The expression on everyone's face was one of ordinary ferocity.
It's as if the play on the stage has been rehearsed countless times.
Liu Ruiying even knew what they were going to say next.
Although he has not encountered a strongman robbery.
But in the mouth of the storyteller, this is an enduring bridge.
"Who are you?"
Hua Nong was also obviously taken aback by the people who suddenly appeared.
"Hahaha! You kid is brave enough, can't you see what I'm doing, uncle?"
The leader of the strongman said with a laugh.
He deliberately kept his voice low.
It sounds extremely hoarse.
If it is heard by ordinary people, it is really more intimidating.
"I don't know...... But if you're all right, can you help me remove the broken tree and rocks? ”
Hua Nong said innocently.
This made the strongman who was the leader stunned on the spot.
He looked at Hua Nong's calm face and calm words, and his heart was a little uncertain.
Most of this road is walked by scholars.
Those who can afford to read are at least not too poor.
And it's better to bully readers.
Generally, when two sentences are spoken, the other party obediently hands over all his entanglements, just to be able to save his life.
Liu Ruiying saw that the robes on the strongman leader were probably snatched not long ago.
The strongman leader pondered carefully in his heart.
He is not stupid, and he knows that there are many people in the world who he cannot afford to mess with.
But the Hua Nong in front of him is so young, but he doesn't look like a person with great ability.
But is it because of the people behind him that he is so fearless?
The strongman leader's gaze was locked on Liu Ruiying.
Liu Ruiying could feel that their attention seemed to be attracted by herself.
But he sat on the baffle in front of the car and drank.
In order not to attract attention, Liu Ruiying specially did not wear the official office of the Investigation Division.
At this moment, he is dressed in casual clothes, with a delicate and handsome face, but he looks like a little son.
But then the strongman leader saw the broken sword on Hua Nong's waist.
In his eyes, the toys he made out of wood when he was a child were more beautiful than this sword.
"Acquaintances, valuable things are left, otherwise don't think about leaving!"
The strongman leader said and punched the boulder beside him.
This punch actually tore the boulder apart.
Liu Ruiying saw that the leader of the strongman was a martial artist.
Fang Cai's punch used his strength.
But it seems that at most, it is a personal teacher's realm.
People and teachers arrive in all directions.
I'm afraid he can only reach one side.
But that punch was a bit shocking.
Hua Nong obviously hadn't seen it, but at the moment he was looking at it with round eyes.
"How's that, boy!"
When the strongman leader saw this scene, he thought that Hua Nong was shocked and speechless.
Liu Ruiying thought about it, and Hua Nong failed to understand the rules and principles that he had just said.
But isn't there a ready-made example right in front of you?
"Hua Nong!"
Liu Ruiying called and beckoned Hua Nong to come back to him.
When the strongman leader saw this situation, he felt that these two people were just going to give in.
So he stood there triumphantly and waited.
"What did he say to you?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"He told me to keep the money or not let me go. ”
Hua Nong said.
"So what do you think should be done?"
Liu Ruiying then asked.
"I don't know...... I only have twenty taels of silver, and I still ask you to borrow it. If I give it to him, I'll have to ask you to borrow money. If you borrow too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back. ”
Hua Nong said.
"Since you don't want to give him money, we have to get over here. What do you think about it?"
Liu Ruiying said according to the situation.
"Reason with them?"
Hua Nong suddenly said two words of truth.
Liu Ruiying smiled, feeling that she had not spoken in vain.
"Do you think they can be reasonable? Keeping money or keeping people is the rule they set. You can also set your own rules. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"My rules, what rules should I make?"
Hua Nong asked.
"When you were in the mountains and forests, you fought with wild beasts, they must not understand the reason, right? That kind of rule can just deal with such a person. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
Hua Nong thought about it and seemed to understand.
Turned and returned to the strongman leader.
"Either let us go, or you don't want to get out of here!"
Hua Nong said strongly.
The strongman leader smiled.
He felt that the young man in front of him didn't have any ability, he was just stupid and cute.
I was a little stupid and couldn't kill him.
But the dozen or so brothers behind him are all looking at him.
Besides, even with them, he had to eat.
The leader of the strongmen also stopped talking, but raised his iron fist and smashed towards Hua Nong.
The crowd behind him had ecstatic on their faces.
I felt that this young man would definitely have his brain shattered in a while, and he didn't even have a chance to scream.
"Whew!"
Sure enough, it was quiet.
There was no screaming.
But the people behind the strongman leader saw a long sword emerging from the back of their leader's neck.
It was stained with blood, dripping downwards.
The eyes of the strongman leader and Hua Nong looked at each other, looking so incredible.
Hua Nong smiled when he saw such a look.
Because the other party obviously followed his rules.
The strongman leader's fist was still inches away from his forehead.
But his sword had pierced the throat of the strongman leader!
Hua Nong slowly pulled out his sword.
The body of the strongman leader fell at his feet.
The rest of the people saw this scene and trembled.
I even forgot to run away.
When people are triggered in the most terrifying state of mind, their minds are blank.
Hua Nong put away his sword.
Begin to move the stones away.
When he had moved three pieces, he suddenly looked up at the rest of the people.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Hua Nong said politely.
People who have blank minds will not hesitate to do anything when they hear any command.
So one after another, someone stepped forward to help Hua Nong remove the stones and logs.
Liu Ruiying smiled with satisfaction when she saw this.
Then he got back into the car.
After all the obstacles on the road had been removed, those people still stared blankly at Hua Nong.
Hua Nong was puzzled and prepared to turn around and walk towards the carriage.
But suddenly it occurred to him that these people could let them give money, so why couldn't he let them give money?
"Keep all your money. ”
Hua Nong said.
When these people heard this, they began to quickly grope all over their bodies, and some even rummaged through the dead corpse of the old man.
From his waist pulled out a string of gold beads, and some scattered silver taels.
"Are these silver taels enough for twenty taels?"
Hua Nong didn't look at the gold bead.
Instead, he asked, weighing the broken silver in his hand.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.
Hua Nong was very helpless and had to return to the carriage.
"Is that enough to pay you back?"
Hua Nong handed over the silver and gold beads to Liu Ruiying and said.
"The pieces of silver are about twenty taels. But this string of gold beads is worth two hundred taels!"
Liu Ruiying said.
Hua Nong nodded happily.
The old horse saw that the road in front of him was gone, so he stepped on the horse's hoofs again, and walked forward without hurry.
The strongmen retreated to the side of the road and quietly watched the carriage pass by.
It seems that he has not come back to his senses.
In the carriage, Hua Nong looked at the string of gold beads and was very happy.
Liu Ruiying was a little heavy.
He opened another jug of wine.
Reaching over and trying to clink glasses with Huanon.
At this moment, Hua Lane was obviously in a good mood, and he touched Liu Ruiying very chicly, and then drank most of the pot in one go.
"What you just did is half right and half wrong. ”
Liu Ruiying took a sip of wine and said.
"Which half is wrong?"
Hua Nong put down the gold bead and asked.
"You shouldn't have asked them to keep their money. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"But you said let me set my own rules, not to mention that I want to pay you back as soon as possible. ”
Hua Nong said.
Apparently his mind was beginning to wonder again.
"You did the right thing by killing the strongman leader. I don't know how long such a person will remain in the world. But the rest of the people are either desperate or forced to helpless. After they divide the money, I'm afraid they won't do this business anymore. Wouldn't it be better to kill one and forgive all?"
Liu Ruiying said.
Hua Nong looked at the gold bead in his hand, and felt that the gorgeous and unparalleled gold bead was a little dim at the moment.
He didn't want to kill anyone.
But he had sensed murder in the leader's eyes before.
Therefore he had to draw his sword.
"Is there a chance to make amends?"
Hua Nong asked.
"Absolutely. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"How to make up for it?"
Hua Nong asked.
"I'm hungry and want to eat. A little bit ahead of you will pass by a town. There must have been a lot of poor people in the town. If these ill-gotten gains are scattered again, you will be regarded as a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor!"
Liu Ruiying said.
"But in that case, I won't be able to pay you back. ”
Hua Nong said tangledly.
"I don't have to rush to pay back my money. What you have to tell is that money has to be taken in a proper way. Although you are not an unrighteous person, if you use this ill-gotten gain, what difference will you have from the strong men who came before you?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"I see!"
Hua Nong smiled.
Liu Ruiying knew that he really understood.
Then he leaned back and drank calmly.
Fell asleep unconsciously.
After a long time, Liu Ruiying was woken up by the noise outside the carriage.
It turned out that they had arrived in a town.
It's just that when Liu Ruiying woke up, the carriage had already entered the town.
So he couldn't see what the town was called.
"I'm hungry too!"
Hua Nong said.
Liu Ruiying stretched, sat up straight, and poked her head out of the carriage.
"Just find a restaurant. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
But in reality, he wanted to eat chestnuts fried with sugar.
Because fried chestnuts with sugar always remind him of someone.
To be precise, it's the people around the man who eats the fried chestnuts with sugar.
"But I didn't see any poor people. ”
Hua Nong said.
"I can't help you. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
He told the old horse to stop.
Because he's already seen a restaurant.
"I'll wait for you here, give you an hour, walk around the town yourself, and then scatter the gold beads. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
Hua Nong nodded, got out of the car and left.
Xiao Er of the restaurant saw a carriage coming at the door, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
But when he looked at the simple carport and the old horse pulling the cart, he narrowed the smile on his face a little.
"Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
Xiao Er asked as he waited by the carriage.
Liu Ruiying did not answer.
He looked at the whole restaurant.
In terms of decoration alone, it should be regarded as one of the best restaurants in town.
Presumably the chef will not be bad.
If you want to eat, you have to eat a good meal.
"Hit the point!"
After Liu Ruiying finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage.
"Feed my horses the best forage!"
Liu Ruiying turned around and threw Xiao Er a piece of broken silver and said.
"Come on, don't worry, guest officer!"
Xiao Er saw the silver and threw it into his sleeve.
The smile on his face suddenly became a little stronger.
"I wonder what the guest officer wants to eat?"
Xiao Er found a secluded seat for him according to Liu Ruiying's request, and then asked.
"Do you have fried chestnuts with sugar?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Uh...... But there is no one in the restaurant. But there's one in town. If you want to eat it, I can buy it for you!"
Xiao Er said earnestly.
"Serve two pots of good wine first, and then go buy me a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar, the sweeter the better!"
Liu Ruiying casually had another silver ingot.
The little second smiled and ran out.
I didn't even give the shopkeeper a word of information.
Liu Ruiying's seat head leaned against the window.
He likes the window seat.
Because you can see the disturbance outside.
This town is obviously much more prosperous than Jiying Town.
It is compared with the most lively long street in Bogu Building.
From the conversations of the people on the street, Liu Ruiying learned that this town belonged to the territory of Shangguan Yao Xu, the king of Zhenbei.
Immediately after that, I saw an acquaintance on the street.
It's just that it's not the people he knows well, it's the clothes on them.
Liu Ruiying smiled lightly, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
The Investigation Division of the Central Capital is really investigating the world, and it is everywhere.
Unexpectedly, this group of people actually walked into this restaurant.
The shopkeeper is obviously familiar with them.
As soon as these people from the Investigation Division entered the door, they personally greeted them at the door, and in a blink of an eye, they went up to the private room on the second floor.
