Chapter 20: The Wild Dart Game
"You just ran out like this, and you didn't even care about your father?"
"Who asked her not to let me come out, now it's okay, no one cares about me, now I'll go wherever Big Brother Bai goes!"
Bai Yilan shook her head helplessly, holding the new sword she had just gotten, and touched the rough edges and corners of the sword. Xin said that it would take another night to polish, but it was pulled out of the village all of a sudden.
"Then it's too unseemly for us to go here. ”
Zhou Ying'er, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "Why is it not decent, you started out as one person and now you are two people, isn't it good?"
Bai Yilan threw the sword into Zhou Ying'er's hand, "Look at it, how can we use this thing, doesn't this touch prickly?"
Zhou Ying'er took the sword and almost fell. Fortunately, I held my hands up and stabilized my body. Trying to hold the hilt of the sword, she found that there were many unpolished iron horns on it, which made her afraid to use force. had to return the sword to Bai Yilan obediently, and said aggrievedly: "Then you can't blame me, if I wait until daytime, I won't be able to leave." ”
Bai Yilan couldn't stand Zhou Ying'er's desire to cry without tears, so she didn't say anything more, and stepped forward to pat her on the back, "Okay, okay, since it's all out, let's enjoy the outside world." So he tore a long strip of cloth from his garment and wrapped it around the hilt of his sword, because his right hand was not strong, and he had to bite the knot with his teeth at the back.
Zhou Ying'er looked sour in her heart, and was thinking about what she should do to make up for it. The iron sword was thrown into Zhou Ying'er's hand by Bai Yilan again, and because of the cloth belt, she could hold it in her hand well.
"If you feel guilty, help me carry the sword in the future, it just so happens that this sword is not light, exercise and train you, and teach you to learn the sword in the future." Bai Yilan saw what Zhou Ying'er was thinking, but he didn't want to carry such negative emotions on the road as soon as he hit the road, so he thought of this method, which somewhat enlivened the atmosphere.
And this method really made Zhou Ying'er feel better, so she followed behind Bai Yilan with a sword in her heart, looking forward to an unknown and beautiful trip in the future......
The two crossed the river and went all the way north, almost without stopping, which was very different from the "beauty" imagined by Zhou Yinger. The two walked for three or four days, eating some wild fruits in the mountains when they were hungry, and looking for a mountain spring at random when they were thirsty. But after a long time, the little girl can't stand it after all.
"Brother Bai, how long will we have to go like this? ”
Bai Yilan calculated the distance a little, and when he went south, it took half a month for a fast horse, and this time it was estimated to be longer, but he naturally didn't want to hit Zhou Ying'er, so he smiled and said, "Then let's go to the county in front to rest." ”
When Zhou Ying'er heard this, of course, she was happy and immediately walked forward in good spirits, and followed Bai Yilan, and when she looked closer this time, she found that Bai Yilan's delicate face also showed a pair of pear nests. Zhou Ying'er felt curious, she didn't find it when she looked at it so closely before, and this time she wanted to "grow" it suddenly. So she slowly approached Bai Yilan and wanted to find out. The girl's innocence can't stop Bai Yilan's "infinite reverie". Just as the two noses were about to touch, Bai Yilan immediately retreated a few feet back. One stumbled under a nearby tree, trying to calm his flushed and hot face. After he calmed down for a while, he shouted, "What did you just do!"
Zhou Ying'er didn't feel any discomfort, and said calmly: "I just saw you have a pear vortex when you laugh, but when I saw you before, you didn't have a ...... when you laughed."
"That's it?" Bai Yilan knew that Zhou Ying'er was still that curious and simple girl, and somehow she was still a little discouraged. But immediately "flung this thought" out of my head. Slightly perfunctory: "Oh, maybe I'm smiling sincerely." ”
Zhou Ying'er also accepted this explanation and stopped asking.
"Eh, let's go!"
Seeing Bai Yilan get up and wave, Zhou Ying'er hurriedly followed. But with an iron sword in his arms, he could only barely keep up with Bai Yilan. But she didn't complain, maybe for her, no hardship could make up for Bai Yilan's hand.
The two walked for several hours, and then they saw a city wall from a distance, and the two of them did not enter a drop of water, and if there was no place to rest, it was estimated that they would not be able to hold on. This time, the two of them were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the city, and recognized the word "Muyang" on the city gate, so they went straight in, and then with the instinct of survival, they smelled the rice and found the nearest inn.
Although the autumn sun is not so poisonous, after being exposed to the sun for a few hours, Bai Yilan almost smokes in his throat. Bai Yilan lay on the counter, holding a hoarse throat, "Boss, rice, vegetables, water......" Then he scattered all the money he had sold the horse on the counter, then turned around and pulled Zhou Ying'er to find a seat and sit down, there was a lot of money left from selling the horse, and the shopkeeper was naturally happy when he looked at the silver, and hurriedly ordered to go down and entertain him with good wine and food.
Bai Yilan shook the teapot on the table, shook his head and got up, and checked the teapots on the other tables one by one, only to find a pot with water, take it and pour it. Before the meal arrived, the two of them had already "wiped out" a large pot of tea. The two finally relented. Zhou Ying'er put the sword on the stool next to her first, and then complained: "Brother Bai, I listened to your words and said that I would rest in the county in front of me, but you didn't say that it was so far." It's getting dark, too, just like the other day. ”
Bai Yilan was also tired enough at this time, and she didn't have the leisure to quarrel with her anymore, "Okay, it's all my fault, we'll go find a horse tomorrow to ......"
"Really, yes, yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Bai Yilan looked at Zhou Ying'er's expectant expression and regretted it, he remembered that the simple Zhou Ying'er couldn't tell the difference between joking and telling the truth. In other words, if she can't get the horse tomorrow, it will be a lie to Zhou Ying'er. This made Bai Yilan feel embarrassed. sighed: "In the end, Liu Dazhuang is still ......"
Zhou Ying'er began to get excited again, "Big Brother Bai, when are we going to find Ma?"
At this time, the food had already come up, and Zhou Ying'er, who had been hungry for a long time, of course left everything behind when she saw this, and Bai Yilan on the side was also relieved, but she was still thinking carefully in her heart, how to conjure a horse for Zhou Ying'er tomorrow.
After eating and drinking, he asked the shopkeeper to open two upper rooms and have a good rest. Bai Yilan lay on the bed, relying on the information she got from chatting with the shopkeeper after dinner, and repeatedly studied: where there are horses in Muyang, the Weide Dart Bureau, the Dragon and Tiger Gang Rudder, and the horse farm of the imperial court...... Forget about the horse farm, now I don't want to have anything to do with the imperial court, and the Dragon and Tiger Gang is in a gang with the imperial court, it seems that there is only this Weide dart game. Let's go tomorrow......
The next day, Bai Yilan got up early in the morning, and wanted to hide from Zhou Ying'er to go and see it himself, but he underestimated Zhou Ying'er's enthusiasm, and Zhou Ying'er was already waiting in front of Bai Yilan's door as soon as the sky was slightly bright. Bai Yilan was startled when she opened the door, "Why are you getting up so early?"
"Go find the horses!"
Looking at Zhou Ying'er's sleepy eyes, she couldn't bear to say any more, so she had to take Zhou Ying'er out with her. As soon as she walked downstairs, Zhou Ying'er went upstairs like a startled start, and after a while, she came down with the iron sword and walked to Bai Yilan, Bai Yilan looked at Zhou Ying'er dotingly, couldn't help laughing, touched the girl's head, and said, "Hmm...... It seems that you are already a qualified little sword boy. ”
When Zhou Ying'er heard Bai Yilan's praise, she was also "proud", and she hugged her sword and appeared straight behind Bai Yilan. Bai Yilan is also used to this feeling, followed by her younger brothers and sisters, which can make her feel at ease psychologically.
The two immediately went out, and after turning a few intersections and asking a few locals, they found a large mansion on a street in the west of the city. Before he could walk in, he heard Bai Yilan exclaim: "You can see from the outside of the courtyard wall that this is the home of the rich." ”
Zhou Ying'er felt strange and asked Bai Yilan why.
"Nuo, look at this fine dougong green tile, and the two guards with knives on the gate. ”
Zhou Ying'er immediately moved her gaze to the plaque of "Weide Dart Game", two middle-aged men wearing yellow scarves and red sleeves and knives, and then looked at their fierce faces, which made people dare not approach easily.
Zhou Ying'er hid behind Bai Yilan, and the two walked to the front of the gate, in a familiar way, two steel knives were horizontal in front of Bai Yilan, although it made him feel uncomfortable, but he had to understand each other and convince himself: this is what they should do, calm down.
"I don't think you look like a dart, who are you?"
Adjusting his mentality, Bai Yilan showed the style of a gentleman, and bowed his head and saluted, "Under Bai Yilan, I want to discuss something with the dart head." ”
"You're looking for us Hu Darthead, so you're here to kick the gym?"
"No, no, no, in Xia Shangwen, I really want to come to discuss things. ”
The best thing for people in the dart game is to recognize people, which is also an important means to distinguish robbers when walking darts, and a person with a temperament noticed Bai Yilan's right hand at a glance, "Hmph, you people who are still writing, are you writing every day to write your hands and write them down?"
Bai Yilan was also surprised, her performance was natural enough, but it was recognizable at a glance. Bai Yilan is not afraid that others will know, but if he encounters an enemy in the future, others will always be able to see his weaknesses at a glance, and if he continues like this, he will bring a lot of trouble to himself sooner or later.
So Bai Yilan asked tentatively: "That could also be a congenital disability." ”
"Are you a fool when I dart the game, look at the back of your hand, a few green tendons connecting the twelve meridians are abnormally bursting up, this looks like a master's technique, and which master would deal with you like this, a literati?"
Bai Yilan also felt that she had been taught a lesson this time, and she was convinced, and said in her heart: It seems that there are still many things I have to learn in the rivers and lakes in the future......
But he didn't give up, "Then it's okay to get the trouble through, right?"
"Wait!"
