Volume 3 [The Mystery of Longquan] 189: Ghosts are stingy and punish adultery and eliminate evil
() The next day, Xian'er and Piaoxue rushed to Lin'an as planned.
Wu Shuang'er took advantage of her sister's outgoing errands and secretly ran out of Taoxuan. The dumb man and the dumb woman babbled behind her, but as soon as she turned her head and pointed at the dumb man and the dumb woman, she said:
Don't stop me! Don't tell my sister! Don't hear me? Otherwise...... Hee-hee......
She took out a knife and gestured:
I have you two good-looking!Don't come with me, I'm going to see my grandfather!I won't come back at night~!
The dumb man and the dumb woman watched her bounce away, and they didn't know how annoying this disobedient little girl was. The two shook their heads sadly and silently replied to Taoxuan.
Shuang'er was finally free again, whistling freely and humming a small tune, and came to the Caojiadian market. When he saw a coachman, he stepped forward, took out a piece of gold, and shook it in front of the man:
Do you want to go to Qingyuan County?
When the coachman saw that the little girl was generous and spending, he deliberately put on a disdainful expression, turned his head around his arms and said:
Qingyuan? As soon as you get a piece of gold, you want me to send you to Qingyuan? Little girl, you better find someone else!
Wu Shuang'er saw that he was not moved by money at all, and she lost her temper, so she had to give it to him!
How much do you say?
When the man saw that this girl had been hooked, he immediately pulled down the corners of his mouth, stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of Wu Shuang'er's eyes......
Wu Shuang'er was also frightened, and thought to herself: What? Is the lion opening his mouth? One ingot of gold is enough to buy two horses. How dare you ask for five ingots of gold? Then why should I use you to send it? It's better to just buy a car frame. So I was about to shake my head and refuse......
The man shook his head and spoke:
Add at least five taels of silver!
Frost's little heart was pounded by his big panting. I thought he wanted five ingots of gold, but I didn't expect to ask for an extra five taels of silver. At first glance, you can tell that he is a hillbilly who has never seen the world, and he is still here with a shy face and pretending to be rich. If you are happy in your heart, you don't want it, and you agree to it happily:
Okay, then I'll give you twenty taels more, and you can load up everything I bought.
The coachman nodded happily, picked up Wu Shuang'er and ran towards the dressmaker's shop. Shuang'er bought a bunch of clothes and medicines, as well as local products from Shengjie Mountain. pulled a full car, and rushed to Qingyuan with urgency to visit Zuo Chengzhi's grandfather.
Unexpectedly, less than a hundred miles away, the coachman stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and said:
Get out of the car, little girl!
Shuang'er was stunned, and didn't know why he suddenly didn't leave:
Why did you let me get off the bus before I got to Qingyuan?
The coachman pulled her down and rudely rolled her up and down:
Do you really think I'm going to send you to Qingyuan? Get the money out! I just want to make money, but I don't want to kill you!
Only then did Wu Shuang'er know the sinister nature of people's hearts. It turned out that the five taels of silver he asked for was just a gimmick, and the real purpose was to lure me into the bait so that I could deprive me of my belongings. She pushed the driver, took out the dagger, pointed at the driver, and threatened:
Don't mess with me! My sister knows about it, and she'll kill you!
The coachman laughed:
Your sister? Hahaha, in this wilderness, you call your sister? No one will hear you shouting at the throat. If you don't want to die, just hand over all the gold, or I'm welcome......!"
Suddenly, someone behind him shouted:
Let her go!
When the coachman turned around, he saw an unkempt beggar in ragged clothes.
Where did you get to ask for food? Don't meddle with things. Now, I'll give you two taels of silver to buy a bun, and go back to where you came from! As soon as he finished saying that, he threw away a few pieces of broken silver at the beggar's feet.
I didn't expect the beggar to even look at it! Strode forward and grabbed his elbow, heh
Reprimanded:
I'll let you let go of this little sister. A gentleman seeks wealth and takes it in a proper way. What is the difference between you and robbers by taking by force in this way? This official sees that you have attempted to extort money, and today he will give mercy outside the law. Hurry up and stop the precipice, and this official will not punish you......
This beggar may have been an official for a long time, and when he sees something illegal, his official authority is naturally revealed.
But the beggar was not finished......
'Smack!'
There was a crisp sound, and the coachman slapped the beggar dizzy:
Damn! You're so insane! A stinky beggar, you really think you're the old man of the blue sky! If it's damn bad, get out of here!
The beggar's face was hot, and he looked at the unchanging coachman with indignation. There is an impulse in my heart to repay my teeth! It may be that I have read too many books of sages, and my innate wildness has been poisoned by books. All impulses are imprisoned in morality and never dare to act. I thought about all kinds of pictures of beating the driver in my mind, but in the end, they were all dissolved by Yan Yuan's smile.
The coachman, however, was not the same, and he was even more angry when he saw the beggar glaring at him. Here's another slap in the face:
What are you looking at? Get out of here, stinky beggar!
This beggar endured it again and again, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and this time he finally became angry! He put down his usual cultivation and put aside all benevolence, righteousness, and morality. He rolled up his sleeves and pushed the coachman down, rode up and grabbed the coachman's neck, and tore him on the ground. I thought: I don't even have self-esteem, what kind of cultivation do you talk about? If I don't beat you to cry and call your mother, I'll be sorry for the past generations of Yanhuang!
The coachman was pinched by him, suffocating from the neck up, and his eyes widened with a red face and not to be outdone, and he resisted vigorously. But the beggar didn't give him the slightest chance to fight back. In desperation, he touched a large rock from the side and smashed it at the beggar's head. This 'smash' obviously triggered the murderous intent.
Yes!
With a scream, the ending was miraculously reversed. Without waiting for the stone in the coachman's hand to touch the beggar's head, Wu Shuang'er stabbed him in the throat with a knife from the coachman's head. A pillar of crimson blood spewed out, splashing Wu Shuang'er's face......
When the beggar saw this horrific scene, he was so frightened that he hurriedly pushed the driver, fell to the ground and crawled backwards on all fours. Staring at this bandit who died tragically at the hands of Shuang'er, his heart beat wildly......
And Wu Shuang'er didn't seem to be so panicked. She 'Phew!' for a moment, spat out a mouthful of bloody water, wiped the blood from her nose and lips with her sleeve, pulled out the dagger with both hands, and wiped it on the coachman's clothes. Said to the beggar:
Get up!
The beggar had to face the reality and slowly stood up.
Wu Shuang'er walked over and took his hand. Put the dagger in his hand, help him hold it tightly, and teach him by word and deed:
Come! The rest is up to you, you come to mend the knife! What did he do to you just now? Now, if you are angry, you will be angry, and if you have revenge, you will take revenge!
The beggar trembled his hands...... Holding the hilt of the knife, he thought: This girl is too cruel! He has to spare people! Although he deserves it, he is not innocent! What a human life......
Wu Shuang'er saw that he had been hesitating, and she also saw that he had an obstacle in his heart:
Look at your unproductive appearance! He was sorry for us first, and he deserved it! He deserved it! He didn't let you commit murder and evil, what are you afraid of? If this had been my sister, he would have been cut into minced meat long ago! We have been tolerant enough of him! This is the rivers and lakes! Shuang'er said as if she knew the rivers and lakes very well.
The beggar thought to himself, "This little girl's words are a bit excessive, but they are also a little crooked......!" Fallacy is also reasonable. Think about how many injustices I have encountered along the way? The more lenient I am to others, the more I will not be rewarded! Why did I devote myself to goodness, but in the end I fell to this point? This fully proves a sentence: People are good at being bullied by others, and horses are good at being ridden by others! Maybe I should also make a change! Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Shuang'er and randomly mustered up the courage to walk in front of the coachman
The knife plunged into his chest......
I didn't expect him to be addicted to this insertion! The grievances and injustices that had been hidden in his heart for a long time were vented at this moment. He frantically did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do on the coachman. The more I inserted, the more sad I became, the more aggrieved I became, and finally I cried decadently......
Wu Shuang'er didn't know what kind of pain he had experienced, and why he was crying like this. Seeing him so sad, he quietly came over and patted him on the shoulder and said:
Okay! Don't be sad! It's all over! What's your name?
After venting the resentment in his heart, the beggar cried and became much more comfortable. He stood up and wiped away his tears and said:
In the lower He Lingyun!
Frost playfully said:
He Lingyun: This name is so troublesome, it's hard to write and it's hard to remember. Why don't I call you 'Little Seven' in the future?
Xiao Qi, He Lingyun didn't know why this girl gave herself such a nickname.
That's right! Xiao Qi...... What does the little beggar mean? Huh? No! Xiao Qi doesn't look like a name...... Shuang'er frowned and meditated, and when she saw He Lingyun, who was wearing tattered official clothes and unkempt, she suddenly had an inspiration:
Yes, I don't look like you're dressed like a person, but I think of a judge of the underworld, so I might as well call you 'Ghost Xiaoqi'!
After speaking, he patted He Lingyun and comforted:
There is nothing wrong with beggars, I used to be a little beggar, but after I found my sister, I didn't beg. When it comes to qualifications, maybe I'm older than you! So I won't dislike you! Now that you've met me, a kind hero, you don't have to beg and wander in the future, follow me to the rivers and lakes, and do chivalrous deeds, right?
He Lingyun drew courage from Wu Shuang'er. The two of them can also see the truth in adversity, so they don't mind how Shuang'er calls herself. Instead, he asked:
Then you call me Ghost Xiaoqi, what do I call you?
Frost! You just call me Frost! By the way, do you know how to drive?
He Lingyun nodded.
That's right, you drive me to Qingyuan, and you will follow me in the future, and I promise to let you eat and drink spicy food every day! When I finish my errands, I will take you to rob the rich and help the poor, and eliminate violence and peace, how about it?
When He Lingyun heard it, he felt a little interesting. Although I regard money as dung, I can have such a clever little girl as my companion, at least I will not be too lonely. Besides, although her methods are a little spicy, after all, she is for chivalry and righteousness, and she is also in the right temper with herself. So I happily agreed:
Okay, then I'll be your groom, accompany you to Qingyuan, but ......
But what?
He Lingyun hesitated for a moment and said:
But...... You'll have to borrow my carriage when you turn around, because I'm looking for someone!"
Looking for someone, who to find, where to find someone?
He Lingyun remembered the information revealed in Condensing Xiang's poem and replied:
I'm going to Sichuan Province, where peach blossoms are in full bloom for ten miles.
When Wu Shuang'er heard this, she became even more curious. When it comes to the peach forest in Sichuan Province, no one knows better than her, and that is her home. So he asked:
What are you going to do there? Is there someone you're looking for?
He Lingyun didn't want to tell all the secrets to someone who had known each other for less than a day. So just laugh and skip it:
Let's go! Attend to your business first! When you get to town, you'll have to treat me to something to eat, or I'll be too hungry to get on the carriage." I haven't eaten in two days!
It's only been two days...... I've been hungry for five days at most! It's a big deal to catch bugs and eat them! Although Wu Shuang'er was joking in her mouth, her little hand had already taken a pack of beef jerky from the frame and threw it out......
In this way, He Lingyun drove the carriage and carried Shuang'er, and the two of them talked and laughed all the way to Qingyuan......
