Chapter 41 The Bandit
After a night of heavy rain, Ganzhou City ushered in sunny weather.
The people in the inn also discovered Shang Niang's disappearance early in the morning, and then also found that Wang Yi was not in the room, and suddenly, rumors of Wang Yi eloping with Shang Niang circulated among the caravan.
The most guilty is Gu Changhe, because it was because of the quarrel with herself yesterday that the merchant girl went out at night, and then disappeared.
However, Ma Shun and the others who knew about Wang Yi's cultivation were not worried, they were more worried that if Shang Niang was not with Wang Yi, this would be the most troublesome thing.
Everyone waited for a long time, but they didn't see Wang Yi and Shang Niang come back, and when they were about to go out to look for it, Wang Yi and Shang Niang appeared at the door of the inn at the same time.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone and the ill-intentioned eyes of Ma Shun and others, Shang Niang announced that because things were going well, the caravan set off ahead of schedule.
Ma Shun and others came to Wang Yi's face, and were about to inquire about Wang Yi's last night, but they were blocked by Wang Yi's closed-mouth meditation one by one.
Ma Shun came to Wang Yi's face, touched his bald head and said, "How was it, last night." ”
Wang Yi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ma Shun showed a stunned expression, "Of course, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold." ”
Wang Yi hurriedly covered Ma Shun's mouth, God knows what questions this guy will ask.
"Nothing. ”
Ma Shun broke away from Wang Yi's hands, stood in the distance, and didn't speak, just with an expression that everyone understood, Wang Yi always wanted to beat him.
After resisting the urge to hit someone, Wang Yi went back to the room to pack his things.
Indeed, when she came back, the merchant took Wang Yi to the shop where she talked about business yesterday, and after experiencing a "struggle", the merchant successfully completed the first business of the caravan's trip.
That's why they came back so late. When passing through the ancient long river, Shang Niang didn't look at him, and she took care of herself and went on the road to pack her luggage and prepare to set off.
Gu Changhe smiled bitterly, turned around and disappeared in place.
A quarter of an hour later, the caravan slowly departed and headed south.
After walking for a long time from Ganzhou City, it was already far away from Chang'an City and came to the junction of Xiangzhou and Yizhou. When resting at a tea stall, Gu Changhe deliberately came to Wang Yi, and in the eyes of everyone's surprise, he solemnly saluted Wang Yi.
Wang Yi didn't dodge, and after seeing the figure of Shang Niang not far away, he received a salute from Gu Changhe and nodded slightly.
Gu Changhe got up and walked back to Shang Niang's side, Shang Niang wore a hairpin on her head, ignoring everyone's thoughts, and looked at Wang Yi.
Several people who were familiar with Wang Yi, led by Ma Shun, all looked at Wang Yi with bad intentions, and Wang Yi was not immersed in the gaze of the merchant lady on him.
He understood the meaning of the look: If you tell me about that night, I won't let you go.
Back then, Mr. once said, don't offend women, because they are ruthless beyond what you can imagine.
Wang Yi shuddered and continued to drink tea.
After a short rest, the caravan set out on the road again, and after reaching a desolate territory, the merchant saw a group of students, about five or six people, led by an old man, walking along the side of the official road.
Xu is the student's dusty clothes, or heavy packages, the merchant lady understood compassion and ordered the caravan to stop and take them.
After the old man and the student saluted the merchant lady, they jumped into the carriage and joined the caravan.
On Wang Yi's carriage, two students and the old gentleman came, after all, this is Wang Yi's own carriage, judging from the rain a few days ago, Wang Yi's body is already all right.
"The old man and the student are bothering the son. The old man was the first to speak, and said to Wang Yi with some apologies.
Wang Yi shook his head and said, "It's okay, old man." ”
"Looking at the appearance of the child, he must have been a scholar before. The old man was discerning, looked at the cyan Confucian shirt on Wang Yi's body, and guessed Wang Yi's identity.
Wang Yi glanced at the cyan shirt on his body, and said in a regretful tone: "It used to be." ”
"Oh, I don't know what books Childe has spent all his time in. ”
Wang Yi thought for a moment and replied: "The books I read before are quite miscellaneous. ”
"Public security policy, Tao Te Ching, as well as old learning, over Qin. Childe is involved. ”
Wang Yi nodded, in his early years, on Uncle Qi's desk, he was taught by the teacher invited by Uncle Qi.
The old man smiled, and looked at Wang Yi a little more pleasing to the eye, "Okay, a good man should spend these books." ”
Wang Yi smiled at the old man's praise.
The old man said: "Old man Jia Xu, I don't know the name of the son. ”
Wang Yi hugged his fists and said: "My surname is Wang, and I have a single word." ”
"Wang Yi. The old man read Wang Yi's name and said loudly: "Good name, good name." ”
"Childe, the old man has a book here, I implore Childe to take a look. ”
After that, the old man took out a bound book from the bag behind him and handed it to Wang Yi. After Wang Yi took it, he wrote: Spring and Autumn Treatise.
Wang Yi flipped through it carefully and began to read slowly. The old man looked at Wang Yi's appearance, touched his beard and smiled, and the student on the side had a guilty expression, and his own husband used the "Spring and Autumn Treatise", which is known as the first strange book after the Spring and Autumn Period, to deceive people, but as a student, he can't expose his own husband, and can only hope that the son who looks like a reader will not be deceived.
"Sir, talented. After Wang Yi hurriedly read it, he found that the content in it could be described as shocking, "But whether the gentleman dislikes himself for living for a long time, or is he bent on death, you must know that the sentences in this book that criticize the royal family are enough to sentence the old gentleman to death." ”
Jia Xu laughed, touched his beard and said, "Xiaoyou's words are serious, this book is just written by the old man when he has nothing to do." ”
Wang Yi returned the "Spring and Autumn Treatise" in his hand to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu happily took it, he was afraid that Wang Yi would hand over the book to the government and look down on his own life and death, but he didn't want to affect several students behind him. Fortunately, Wang Yi did not put away the books, but handed them back to himself, but he seemed to be a little small-bellied.
How could Wang Yi not know the meaning of the old man's words, pretending not to know, and simply doing personal favors.
The caravan continued to move forward, far away from the large towns of Ganzhou City, where green trees and streams flowed everywhere. Gradually, the number of people on the official road began to increase, which comforted the hearts of the caravans who had been walking in the mountains and forests for a long time.
Wang Yi had already come to the outside of the carriage and sat there, flipping through the books he had bought in Ganzhou City, and the leaves beside the official road seemed to be unable to withstand the scorching heat, curling himself up.
"Fresh and relieving the heat, drink one cup to reduce fatigue, drink two cups of fortune and treasure, and drink three cups of high school champions. ”
Wang Yi followed the sound and looked over, there was a simple tea stall next to the official road, and on top of a big tree, there was a signboard.
The merchant lady in front waved her hand, and the caravan stopped as a whole and walked into the tea stall together to relieve the heat. Wang Yi was naturally no exception, in a rare good mood, and teased at Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, you are really as godly as you say." ”
The shopkeeper touched his head, bent down and said, "Speaking of fun, the guest officer can't take it seriously, but this relief from the heat is true." ”
Wang Yi smiled and walked into the tea stall. There were originally a few guests sitting there drinking tea in the tea stall, but due to the addition of the caravan, the tea stall, which was originally a little deserted, was popular for a while.
Wang Yi asked for a pot of tea, and drank it while reading. Picking up the teacup and entering the tea, Wang Yi felt the slightest coolness appear in his mouth, Wang Yi hurriedly drank all the tea, and most of the fatigue and heat from the rush disappeared.
Jia Xu sat opposite Wang Yi, watching Wang Yi take a big sip of tea, but he didn't care about Sven, picked up the teapot and drank it.
Wang Yi continued to look at the book, ignoring the heroic Jia Xu on the side, the surrounding environment was a little messy, but it did not affect Wang Yi in the slightest.
But after a while, Wang Yi sensed that something was wrong. The handwriting on the book turned out to be a little ghostly, Wang Yi frowned, and secretly said that it was not good. Raising his head, Wang Yi found that most of the people in the caravan were already lying on the table, and a small number of people were holding their heads.
It seemed that he had met a robber, Wang Yi could only smile bitterly, and then stopped moving and fell on the table. Before closing his eyes, Wang Yi seemed to see Jia Xu touching his beard and looking at him, and nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that he was deceived, and someone drugged this tea.
"Mr. Jia, how to deal with these people. The shopkeeper walked in front of Jia Xu and said respectfully to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu pointed at Wang Yi, "Take this person away, leave the rest alone, remember not to hurt him." He pointed to the merchant lady in the distance and said: "The leader will also take it away, and tell the people below to take care of yourself, otherwise the old man will not be blamed for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”
"Yes. ”
The shopkeeper retreated and dealt with the people in the caravan.
In the woods behind the tea stall, a few people came out, loaded Wang Yi and the merchant into a carriage of the caravan, and slowly advanced towards the depths of the woods.
After the carriage came out of the woods, it crossed several streams, and at some passed a ravine, and came to a large mountain, and went up a rugged mountain road.
The starlight in Wang Yi's body began to circulate autonomously, slowly canceling out the medicinal power, and gradually Wang Yi began to become conscious.
When he opened his eyes, Wang Yi found that his hands and feet were tied together, and there was a merchant lying beside him, but he had not yet woken up. Looking at everything around him, Wang Yi couldn't get any useful information, and it seemed that he could only wait for things to develop.
"I'm home. After Wang Yi had passed through a few rough roads, he heard someone shouting.
"Hey, it's finally time to go home after a long day. Another man said.
"Mr. Jia, what about these two people. ”
"Find a room first, lock the two of them up, and wait until the big boss returns. ”
"Yes. ”
