The closer it is to the big town, the wider and cleaner the official road, and the government will regularly arrange for people to wipe the road signs, level the road surface, and clean up the mud in the drainage ditches on both sides of the road to ensure the smooth flow of the official road.

Because of the large number of pedestrians, it is more common to see wine shops and tea shops on both sides of the official road.

Especially the kind of people whose houses were originally on the edge of the official road often set up a simple thatched shed in front of their house, put three or four tables and chairs, and then boiled a large bucket of golden tea soup to earn some pocket money to supplement the family.

Tea is the most common tea in the country, and the earthen bowl is used to drink tea, but the hurried merchants often only seek to quench their thirst and the amount of tea soup, and where to account for other trivial matters.

Zhou Ru's home is on the edge of the official road, and the location of her home is very good, only more than 100 miles away from Beijiang County, and there are just three official roads in front of her house.

There is actually a plaque on the tea shop, it is said that it is because there is a down-and-out scholar who was hungry and cold when he received a meal from the tea shop, and later the high school Tanhualang, personally mentioned four words: Yang family tea shop, many people specially sent over, as for the Yang family's statement, you can really do it, as a kind of conversation when drinking tea is also very good.

The proprietress Zhou Ru is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve this year, it is the age of charm, her appearance is also outstanding in ten miles and eight townships, her husband's surname is Yang, originally a reader, her parents want their son Jackie Chan, took a gold list as a name, but has never been related to the title of the gold list, it must be said that it is also providential.

Because there is a good-looking proprietress of the shop, so the business of the tea shop has been good, several generations of painstaking management, the shop has not only sold tea soup, but also steamed buns and cold dishes, the boss personally boiled beef bone soup is even more famous.

Just after lunchtime, the store has just sent away several batches of customers, and there are only four guests left at a table, who seem to be running the rivers and lakes, all with blades, and just now each person ordered a bowl of beef bone soup and twenty big steamed buns, and they are still chatting while eating slowly.

After a rare clean while, the proprietress sat on the recliner behind the counter, straightened her legs, stretched her waist with satisfaction, and Lao Yang Han sat on the side and carefully helped pinch her shoulders.

At this moment, the voice of the guests chatting came.

"Have you heard? Zheng Yuanwai's house in Qinghe County was stolen again, and a lot of gold and silver were lost, not to mention, mainly because a turtle was painted on the forehead of the shopkeeper Zheng, and his concubine's hair was dyed green!"

Another person smiled: "You should have dyed Zheng's shopkeeper's hair green, his concubine is said to be ...... Hey, hey!"

"Haha, that's true! But did you find out? This time the snitch seems to have come all the way to Bac Giang County!"

"Where do you start?"

The man who spoke at the beginning took a sip of beef bone soup, smashed it with satisfaction, and then said:

"Who has the geographical map of Bac Giang?"

"I'll take it, and I'll give it to you. ”

"Come, you see, the first news of the snitch came out in Lushui Town, then Fuyuan County, Sanshan County, Duhe Town, Baihe County, and then the nearest Qinghe County!

"Oh, it's really true when you look at it this way! This snitch is too bold! Now several big thieves have already increased the bounty to two thousand taels! I don't think the snitch will be happy for a few days! There will be a brave man under the heavy reward! Is it really that there is no one in the Beijiang martial arts?"

"But this snitch is also strange, never hurts people, and specializes in stealing those rich people!"

"Hmph! It's not that he wants to be famous under the guise of robbing the poor and helping the rich! When is this kind of person not like a carp crossing the river in the rivers and lakes?"

"I really admire him, and I think that if he has the ability to play tricks, he will be more talented than being a thief! Haha, do you know? At the house of the shopkeeper Zhu in Sanshan County, he took 3,000 taels of silver tickets, not to mention, and also arrested the son of the shopkeeper Zhu, stripped off and hung on the door, and wrote clearly on his neck the matter of bullying the neighbor's daughter on red paper! That night, he went to the county office and took off the hat of the county magistrate as a warning, and now it is said that the county magistrate has begun to investigate the Zhu family!

"Don't say it, this thing is done beautifully, I have seen the shopkeeper Zhu, fat head and big ears, father and son, fish and flesh people, rampant and domineering, relying on someone in the government, arrogant, this time it is estimated that I have to be honest for a while!"

The rest of the people chimed in, applauding the snitch.

The proprietress and Lao Yang looked at each other and smiled, the merchants in the shop were discussing this snitch recently, the rich people sneered at it and hated it to the bone, but the ordinary people were clapping their hands and praising secretly, all living beings are different, different classes, and different points of view.

Although the proprietress has a solid family background, she thinks that this snitch is good, does not hurt people, only takes ill-gotten gains, and is quite chivalrous, besides, who has not been young?

In addition, after many years of ushering in and sending in, I am well-informed, and I still have a good impression of those high-ranking martial arts masters, and I feel that they are more bold than ordinary businessmen in terms of speaking and paying.

At this moment, the official road not far away came to the sound of jingling bells and a little childish girl's song, the singing voice was tactful and listening, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, the words were clear, and the voice was high-pitched and crisp, so that several people in the tea shop were stupid!

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, the reeds are like snow and snow, the reeds know the wind and the storm the most, and the reeds know the rain the most.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, the reeds are playing hide and seek, how many high-ranking celebrities and fortunes are all cowherds back then.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and they look at each other across the mountains and waters. This side of the reed is the hometown, and the other side of the reed is the ocean.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are busy weaving. Weave into my bag, accompany me on a long voyage from now on.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reed flute is melodious. The shepherd boy is in the distance, which makes people worry about their father and mother.

This reed weaving five uniques, originally spread widely in Jiangnan and Lingnan, almost children can hum a few words, but it is rare to be able to sing so beautifully.

The proprietress couldn't help but stretch her neck and look at the bend of the official road, as far as the eye could see, there were two people and a donkey over there.

A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old led a donkey with black and white fur, and on the back of the donkey sat an eight or nineteen-year-old girl, who was singing, the back of the donkey swayed, and the bell on the donkey's neck jingled as if to match the girl's singing.

When they got closer, everyone secretly praised them, they were really rare beautiful people, the young man who led the donkey was dressed in green clothes, and the girl who rode the donkey was even brighter and brighter, with ice muscles and jade bones, and was wearing well-fitting purple clothes.

Seeing that the tea shop was approaching, the girl accepted the singing, as if she was arguing with the teenager with her head down, and in the end it should be the teenager who was convinced, and the girl's smiling and proud look made everyone love it even more.

The boy tied the donkey to the pillar at the door that was specially used to lass the livestock, led the girl slowly into the tea shop, and looked up at the hanging plaque as he approached the door.

The proprietress got up and asked with a smile, "Two little guest officers, what are you going to eat?"

The little girl stared at the proprietress and suddenly said crisply: "Big sister, you are so beautiful!"

The proprietress Zhou Ru was happy in her heart, and most of the merchants who praised her beauty were trying to take advantage of the language, and she naturally coped with it easily, but this little girl I saw pity for her big sister and the beauty behind her made her suddenly feel ten years younger, and joked with a smile:

"You little ghost spirit is really cute, say, what do you want to eat?

Someone at the table in the lobby laughed loudly: "Boss, this is not fair, I can also call you sister!

Several people burst into laughter.

The boy and the girl are naturally Lu Yi and Duanmu Yu who have traveled all the way, in fact, the two of them have just been sharpened not long ago, so Lu Yi originally planned to walk more, but Duanmu Yu, the little girl, said that she was hungry again, so she had to come in and eat, and if she didn't eat, she wouldn't leave, Lu Yi was helpless, but anyway, she was used to it along the way, and others had three meals a day, and this little gluttony was at least doubled!

I asked for five big steamed buns, and ordered a plate of cooked beef and two bowls of beef bone soup, and the proprietress personally helped to send it over, and the cooked beef was built up on the tip of the hill.

Lu Yi thanked him, and the proprietress pinched Duanmuyu's cheek lovingly, and waved her hand at Lu Yi before returning to the counter to continue to rest.

The high-rollers at the other table also began to bow their heads to eat, and continued to discuss the elusive snitch, only because there were other guests there, and their voices were lowered a little.

Duanmu Yu was holding a steamed bun in one hand, and chopsticks were flying in the other, looking like he hadn't eaten for several days.

Lu Yi helped to blow the beef bone soup cold, and when he saw Duanmu Yu gobbling up, he clasped his fingers and tapped lightly on her forehead, glared and said, "Slow down, no one will rob you." ”

Duanmu Yu raised his head slightly, his eyes showed dissatisfaction with the action of knocking his forehead, and muttered:

"How many times have I told you, you can't knock my head again, what should I do if I don't grow taller in the future?"

Lu pushed the beef bone soup that had been cold for a while, and said with a smile: "If you don't grow tall, you won't grow tall, maybe if you grow taller, you won't look as good as you are now!"

Duanmu Yu glared at Lu Yi fiercely, and continued to bury his head in dealing with the steamed buns in his hand and the beef on the plate.

At this moment, the next table began to argue about the elusive snitch, some people said that the snitch was a bearded man, some said that it was a down-and-out scholar, and some even said that it was a compassionate monk, and of course, some said that it was a green forest bandit......

Lu Yi laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, but when he saw Duanmu Yu's innocent appearance, he was a little angry, stretched out his finger and pointed to the little girl who was secretly grimacing, and said in a low voice:

"I'm going to Beijiang County soon, don't make any more trouble for me!"

Duanmu Yu grinned and nodded.

The two settled the bill, walked out of the tea shop, and looked at Duanmuyu who was jumping up and walking in front, Lu Yi suddenly felt that his childhood life seemed to be too ...... It's simpler.

Soon after the ancient temple came out, Lu Yi knew that Duanmu Yu had a small baggage, in addition to two sets of clothes, there was also a short knife, the gems on the scabbard were brilliant, and the half-foot-long short knife was extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay.

At first, Lu Yi didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this was just a blade left by Duanmu Fang for his granddaughter's self-defense, but when passing by Lushui Town, Duanmu Yu took advantage of Lu Yi's fishing to let her take care of the salute and slipped out for more than half an hour, and when he came back, he had a small burden in his hand.

When I opened it, I saw dozens of taels of silver, a few pieces of gold and a stack of silver tickets, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and after all kinds of coercion and temptation to "torture and extract confessions", Duanmuyu finally admitted that she went to the house of Chen Yuanwai, the richest family in the town.

Lu Yi was taken aback and realized that the little girl was extremely strong, and her internal strength was even more powerful, but her true qi was feminine, and if she thought about it carefully, she was calm, after all, she was the most favored little saint of the Leaning Moon Sect, and she was laid an excellent foundation by the Duanmu family since she was a child, and she followed her grandfather to wander the rivers and lakes, and some of the experience and knowledge of the rivers and lakes were far above Lu Yi.

However, Lu Yi was still very angry, and since he was a child, his mother taught him not to ask the truth that he was stealing, so he wanted to take her to Chen Yuanwai's house to apologize and return the silver.

Duanmu Yu was reluctant to obey him, stubbornly refusing to bow his head.

Lu Yi was helpless, so he had to resort to a killer move, if Duanmu Yu couldn't say the reason why he didn't come to apologize, then there would be no sugar gourds to eat in the future!

Duanmu Yu loves to eat, especially sweet and sour things, and finally only said a few words under Lu Yi's coercion and temptation: "He is a bad person!"

After saying that, she cried and clamored to find her grandfather.

Lu Yi suddenly, the day before yesterday, when he lived in a small villa outside the town of Lushui Town, the family who stayed was also surnamed Chen, and he was a tenant of Chen Yuanwai's family, and he said a lot of things about Chen Yuanwai's wealth and unkindness, but I didn't expect the little girl to really remember it in her heart.

Duanmu Yu pitifully pulled the corner of Lu Yiyi and said: "Isn't it good for us to give this silver to Uncle Chen? Moreover, I only took a little bit of it from his storehouse, and when I was walking with my grandfather, I heard that the old man said that this is called chivalrous righteousness!"

After all, Lu Yi was only in his early sixteens, and he was a teenager, so he thought it seemed quite good, so he took Duanmu Yu to be a night walker who came and went, like the storyteller said, robbing the rich and helping the poor.

So along the way, the two of them deliberately inquired about some rich people who were not benevolent and evil, and they didn't know, but they were really shocked when they asked.

Fortunately, the two thieves who came out of the rivers and lakes did not meet the real masters along the way, and the two of them were quite comfortable coping with it, but the rumors of the snitch were spreading farther and farther, and the two really didn't expect to cause such a big impact.

Climb a mountain beam along the official road, the eyes suddenly open up, the endless plain jumps into view, suddenly makes people feel refreshed, it is July, the sun is like fire, but the crops of the plain are full of green, full of vitality, some of the fruits that are about to ripen are heavy and bend the branches, a good harvest scene.

At the end of the plain stands a majestic city, the high city wall looks straight into the clouds from afar, as the county seat of Bac Giang County, and is the northern gateway of Jiangnan Province, bordering the northwest, the Central Plains and Yannan three roads, since ancient times, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and the hard work of several generations of the Shepherd King, continuous expansion and reinforcement have today's scale.

There is a pavilion for resting on the side of the official road, there is no one at this time, Lu Yi holds Duanmu Yu's hand and stands in the pavilion to look out, and suddenly feels that the sky is high and the earth is far away, and the pride is suddenly born.

"It's such a big and beautiful city!" Lu Yi said to Duanmu Yu with a smile: "After Beijiang County, you can reach Liuyun Mountain in a few days!"

Duanmu Yu was not as shocked as Lu Yi, after all, he had followed his grandfather since he was a child, but when he thought of the countless delicious foods in the county town, his expression was also a little excited.

"Big brother, how many days are we going to stay in the county town?"

Lu Yi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to stay for a few days? I heard that the things in the county town are precious!

Duanmu Yu wrinkled his delicate little face and said sullenly: "I've been walking in a hurry lately, and my feet hurt." ”

After speaking, he timidly stretched out a foot to prove that what he said was true, but some of his heart was drumming, and his foot only dared to stretch out half a step.

Lu smiled and squatted down and said, "Then I'll carry you away, big brother, okay?"

Duanmu Yu secretly withdrew his feet and pouted, "It's not good! Big brother is the worst!"

Lu Yi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Then Yu'er, what did you say you were going to do?" and you refused to ask me to carry it, and my feet still hurt. ”

Duanmu Yu looked at Lu Yi's expression, and said cautiously: "Then how many days will we rest in the county town......?" Five days will do!" After speaking, he stretched out a small hand and shook it with his five fingers open.

Lu Yi pinched his chin and said absent-mindedly: "That's it! It's not impossible, the martial arts masters in the county town have heard a lot of ......."

Duanmu Yu immediately comprehended and said with big eyes: "I promise to be obedient!"

Lu Yi laughed, picked up Duanmu Yu, scratched her delicate little nose, and let her ride on his neck and smiled: "Big brother suddenly wants to hear you sing, every time Yu'er sings, we will stay for an extra day, okay?"

Duanmu Yu smiled, stretched out his fingers and pulled the hook on the same road, and then began to sing the song of the five unique reeds.

“...... The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reed flute is melodious. The shepherd boy is in the distance, which makes people worry about his father and mother......"

"Big brother, Yu'er can only sing this one, will you get tired of listening to it?"

"No, it won't. ”

"You're a liar!"

"Big brother won't lie to Yu'er!"

"Big brother. ”

"Hmm. ”

"I miss my grandfather and sister a little bit. ”

"Big brother thinks about some people too, but I won't say it, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"If you don't say it, they're like standing next to me, and when you say it, they'll be so far away from me!

"Looks like that!"

"The eldest brother said that he would not lie to Yu'er. ”

"Big brother, I want to eat rock sugar gourd. ”

"Don't worry, I'll buy it for you when I get to the county seat!"

"Three strings!"

"Three skewers are three skewers!"

"Yu'er is going home in the future, will the big brother miss me as much as Yu'er thinks of you?"

"Yes. ”

"Big brother is so nice!"

"Big brother is still the best-looking!"

"You're starting to be shameless again!"

“......”

"Big brother, when Yu'er grows up, will I marry you as a bride?

"Why are you starting talking nonsense again?"

"Hmph, then why do you peek at those women's breasts and butts every time?"

"Why?

"Obviously, Yu'er will definitely look much better than them when she grows up in the future!"

"Okay, good, Yu'er is the best!"

"yes! That Yu'er will show the big brother alone in the future!"

"Do you still want to eat rock sugar gourd?"

"Yes!"

"Then sing honestly!"

"Okay. ”
