Chapter 011 of "Painting the Wife".
The war is in chaos, and everything is unpredictable
A wave of unevenness has risen again and again
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Seeing that Murong Tianshan was shot by random arrows, and was stabbed several times by a woman, and then, this woman was killed together with the old demon of Meishan, which made He Suowei and his wife frightened the six gods, hiding in the dark and not daring to move a little, holding their breath and waiting for the Jin soldiers to retreat for a long time, only then did they wake up a little, and were about to escape, at this time, a monk came over from a distance.
I saw him look east and west, and walked straight to the corpse of Murong Tianshan who had been shot into a hornet's nest by random arrows, leaned over and groped for a while, a strange smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and then called the villagers to buy a simple coffin and bury it hastily, took the sword of Murong Tianshan, recited "Amitabha", and drifted away.
This series of strange movements made He Wei's heart furious. Why are people here so nervous? But he didn't have time to think about it, it was none of his business in the first place, but why didn't Murong Yan come?
In any case, it is better to leave the land of right and wrong first, and then slowly search for the whereabouts of his son. So the two of them helped each other forward. After turning over the mountain, it seems to be going down the mountain, and the more you walk, the more brisk it becomes, and the more you open up in front of you.
At this time, a glimmer of dawn appeared in the east, and the line of sight slowly became clear. Crossing a small wooden bridge, you will be greeted by a small inn for merchants from afar, the gate is closed at this time, and it seems that it has not yet opened for business.
Further on, there is a small pier, and next to it there is a small inn. It is said to be a small inn, but it seems that it is nothing more than a simple pergola. Beneath the pergola sat two merchants, and on the dock were a group of begging coolies carrying goods.
The sharp-eyed Zhang Qin found that there was a steamed bun shop three or four feet away from this small inn. I saw that the steamer in front of the small shop was full of steamed buns, and the shopkeeper was selling freshly wrapped steamed buns to passing porters or coolies who were begging for a living.
Zhang Qin felt hungry in his stomach, and he hadn't eaten rice for two days, and now when he saw someone selling food, he was even more hungry, so he stepped forward and asked, "How much is one?"
The guy stared at her for a long time, and forgot to answer. It wasn't until Zhang Qin asked again that the guy remembered, was stunned for a while, and said, "Guest officer, steamed buns cost two pennies a piece." ”
Zhang Qin unconsciously stopped when he reached into his pocket, and said in surprise: "How much is one?"
"Two pennies a piece. ”
Two cents a piece? Ten is only two dollars, why is it so cheap here? Zhang Qin didn't think much about it, and said while handing over the two coins, "Bah! ”
Seeing the coin in her hand, the guy was stunned again, and said to Zhang Qin: "The guest officer is really good at laughing, are you doing this money? If the guest officer doesn't want to buy it, he doesn't want to play tricks on others. ”
"Why don't you want to buy it, I'm dying of hunger!" Zhang Qin said as she threw the two-yuan coin into the steamer and reached out to take the steamed bun.
The guy was unhappy and subconsciously pushed her. Zhang Qin did not stand firm, staggered back a few steps and almost fell. At this time, she was annoyed, and she saw her cross her waist with one hand, and pointed at the guy with the other and said angrily: "You still beat people after giving you money? Open a shop and do business, pay attention to harmony and make money! But is there anyone in the world who does this kind of business? Believe it or not, I complained about you!" While saying, he was afraid to give her the mobile phone.
The guy was also a little angry: "You are so unreasonable. It's easy to buy and sell, but you're fooling people with these two discus!"
"I don't think you want to open a store anymore!" Zhang Qin warned, and called the consumer complaint hotline, planning to complain about this guy with a bad attitude.
As feared and expected, this phone number cannot be dialed, and it will always prompt "unreachable".
"I don't believe it can't be done!"
The man's eyes widened, and he looked puzzled and curious. At this time, the traveling merchant who was originally sitting under the pergola came over to buy steamed buns, so he stopped paying attention to Zhang Qin and turned around to do business.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Wife, look around, we have traveled to ancient times." Where do people know your money?"
Zhang Qin took a closer look around, and saw that whether it was a businessman, a coolie, or this guy, the style of dress was strange, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the costume drama on TV, but it was not the same.
Zhang Qin had a bitter face and said, "Lao He, what should we do now? Your wife and I are about to starve to death." ”
He was afraid to smile and said: "There are people here, and there are rivers and lakes when there are people." ”
"So what?" Zhang Qin didn't understand what he was saying.
He added: "Where there are rivers and lakes, there is business." ”
With that, he walked straight to the two merchants and gestured to himself for a while, to the effect that the material and style of the clothes on his body were good. In fact, since the two appeared, the merchant noticed. And a businessman is always a businessman, thinking about how to make money at all times. The merchant was so impressed by the novelty of the garment, especially the fine fabric, that he agreed and gave the couple a few sets of clothes plus five taels of silver.
"It's too cheap. Although Zhang Qin was not happy, there was no other way at the moment, so she had to change her clothes through the residence of the steamed bun shop, but left her underwear and underwear. This ancient underwear looks like a bath towel, and these pants, how can they be open crotch pants?
The merchant saw that although the two people behaved strangely, they were also polite, unlike the bad guys and robbers, and looked at the two of them with a tired face, and couldn't help but feel compassion, saying that if the ship went south to Lin'an to pick up the goods, if they stopped by and waited for the goods to be unloaded and set off together, food and accommodation were free.
He was afraid to hear it, and he was moved. I don't know where my son came from, and where to find him in the vast sea of people?
Walking on such a waterway for a few days, the water veins are becoming more and more vertical and horizontal, all the way, the canals are shrouded in hookah, rain and fog, but seeing the green ** drops of the mountains by the riverside, it is beautiful to look along the way.
He was afraid and smiled: "Wife, this scenery is a once-in-a-thousand experience!"
"It's beautiful...... It's just that where is my son now, will he be hungry, frozen, and injured?"
He was about to be relieved, suddenly heard some strange noises in the stern, and was curious, and took Zhang Qin to investigate behind, but saw two shirtless men standing in the stern, one holding a knife against the boatman's neck, and the other pulling a rope to answer the accomplices.
The merchant happened to come out of the cabin to inspect it, and was shocked, shouting: "The water bandits have robbed the ship!"
"It's over, I can't figure it out to explain here!" He was afraid of this, suddenly realized, scolded secretly, and pulled Zhang Qin to retreat quickly.
Seeing that the bandits were exposed, they were no longer hiding at the moment, a sharp whistle sounded, and the Wupeng boats, which were originally scattered around the merchant ships, quickly approached, and countless iron hooks were thrown from the Wupeng boats, hooking the edge of the ship, and the water bandits climbed along the iron chains, and within a while, dozens of water bandits rushed onto the merchant ships.
There were only a few dozen paddlemen, boatmen and guards on the ship, all hired from other places, and they did not know that they had been used as bait.
Taking advantage of the chaos, He was afraid to quietly move to the edge of the boat, ready to pretend to fall into the water, took the opportunity to leave the battlefield, turned his head to look, but Zhang Qin was missing. At this time, he panicked, hurriedly entered the cabin, and saw Zhang Qin packing the burden for the merchant.
He was so afraid that he couldn't help but stomp his feet in a hurry: "Wife, what do you care about others!
"You know what to do! What does it matter to me if someone else lives or dies? Even if the merchant is dead, can't all the money be robbed by those robbers! Taking a little bit is a little bit and can be regarded as making some contribution to our common people. Lao He, come and help! There's a lot of money here......"
This mother-in-law, who is dying, is still making money, He is so frightened that she almost vomits blood, seeing the screams outside the cabin gradually approaching, she is anxious, and she can't help but pull Zhang Qin and rush out of the cabin. Seeing the movement here, the nearby bandits divided into several people and surrounded this side, and one of them approached from the side, and slashed with a knife. He was so frightened that in a hurry, his feet slipped, dragged Zhang Qin backwards, fell out of the boat, and sank to the bottom of the water together.
Zhang Qin choked on a few mouthfuls of water in a panic, constantly fluttering, and He was afraid to pull her back collar and drag her to the surface slowly.
At this time, the merchant ship has caught fire, the fire is soaring to the sky, "beep" sound, how to be afraid to grab a floating board, the couple is frightened, looking up to the sky and sighing, the soldiers are in chaos and unpredictable, they don't know an inch, they can only resign themselves to fate, and float to where it is.
