Chapter Ninety-Three: Bizarre Town
A green mountain and green water, birds singing in the valley, a large area surrounded by green bamboo, should be a remote place where Liao is uninhabited, but there is a house made of wood and bamboo, especially the furniture in the house, all made of wood and bamboo, take the same to sell in the market, I am afraid that it can also be sold at a good price.
On the bamboo table, a chessboard is placed in it, the black and white two sons advance and retreat to a degree, each has the momentum of the dragon head and dragon tail, but there is only one person who holds the chess, the old palms, not the chess piece, but also the waste child, it should be unimpeded situation, but it was the particularly eye-catching sunspot, blocking the water leakage, this is how many years have not had a situation, I didn't expect to drive the crane age, but he opened his eyes.
Waiting until the chess game is temporarily fixed, the old man dressed in Taoist costumes pinched his fingers and calculated, and after a long time, the slender closed eye slit should be opened from time to time, and a pair of fox eyes are particularly brilliant.
With such a fox-eyed face, he can even calculate the destiny of heaven, such a capable person is a fox-eyed Gu Chunqiu.
After some calculations before, it seemed that it was not satisfactory, so he took out a few copper coins, put them in the bamboo tube, shook them up and down, and then placed them on the wooden table, but the scene in front of him was even more eye-opening.
It should have been obvious that it would have gotten copper coins anyway, but now it is all set up on the table, if it is not for seeing is believing, who can believe such a miracle.
"Weird, weird. Gu Chunqiu said in surprise.
Gu Chunqiu, who has calculated the number of lives for a lifetime, has never seen today's scene, and has counted the number of lives of this child twice, but there is no gain, and the hexagram is now that there is no such person, in other words, it is a dead person.
But how can there be an immortal person in the world, or a person who has come back from the dead, he knows astronomy and geography, the cycle of cause and effect, but he has never heard of it, or knows it from that book.
The chessboard black, this is the person, not to mention ruining his plan, but also inexplicably appeared in the game, but he couldn't trend, he could only let it automatic, the terrifying phenomenon that the chess pieces should be automatic, it was terrifying, and Gu Chunqiu also changed from a chess player to a chess player, as if the sunspot was playing against him, and he was extremely arrogant, breaking his good hand.
Gu Chunqiu no longer watched chess and sitting, how could he calm down in such a situation, and it was a servant to calculate a hexagram, this time it was out of its hexagram, of course, the master of the hexagram, has been replaced by someone else, and then read the hexagram like a reason, stroked up, looked at the north, this trip has a purpose.
......
Li Chenfeng, who was driving, had an inexplicable palpitation, he had been away from Wudu for more than a month, it was the season of late autumn, and now it was winter, and even he was wrapped in a cold-proof robe.
Along the way, nothing major happened, and there were no killer assassins who came to die, so it ended up being idle, except for driving horses every day, nothing else.
Now the seasons are changing, and the carriage that originally liked to take the trail is no longer like this, this cold season, not to mention the scarcity of prey, you can't always sleep with a cold wind at night.
Not to mention the three of them with rough skin and thick flesh, I am afraid that the sisters of the Jin family who are hiding in the carriage can't stand it. So I walked all the way through the town, and it was good to find some people to spend the night at night.
Li Chenfeng looked at the town not far away and drove away.
"There is a town ahead, although it is not dark now, and there is no way to walk, otherwise passing by this place, the next town does not know where it is, and it is impossible to spend the night in the wind and cold. Li Chenfeng said.
Old man Gu and Fan Weisheng did not express their position, the two of them were completely casual, and the Jin sisters naturally nodded and agreed.
After Li Chen's windframe car went around the town, he didn't find an inn to answer, and compared to the previous town, this town was less populated.
And the town is full of women and children, up to the elderly mother, down to the girl and baby, but there is no man in sight, Li Chenfeng is confused, only after most of the walk, the sky is dark, and he has not yet found a place to live.
"Brother Li, what's wrong. Fan Weisheng stepped out of the carriage and asked.
"I don't know, I didn't say that I couldn't find any shops and inns all the way, and I didn't even see a man. Li Chenfeng said.
Fan Weisheng was also suspicious after hearing this, seeing that it was already dark, and he couldn't spend the night without nowhere to spend the night, so he spoke.
"Then it's better to find a family to spend the night, it shouldn't be difficult to negotiate the silver taels. ”
Li Chenfeng nodded, occasionally knocked on the door to ask, but no one answered. Seeing that the carriage was about to leave the town, the originally dense houses were scattered.
After Li Chenfeng knocked on another family without success, he was a little disappointed, it seemed that he was destined to spend the night outside tonight, and he didn't take a few steps when the doorman next door pushed the door. A boy about seven or eight years old showed his head and looked at Li Chenfeng curiously.
"Do you want accommodation?" said the boy.
Li Chenfeng smiled and nodded.
"Give the silver?" the boy swept his gaze from Li Chenfeng from head to tail.
"Give. Li Chenfeng said.
"How much?" the boy asked again.
Li Chenfeng took out a whole piece of silver, put it in the palm of his hand and said, "Is it enough?" ”
The boy looked at the big tattooed silver, nodded hurriedly, and by the way, even pushed the door open most of it, and said excitedly: "Enough is enough!"
Li Chenfeng chuckled, and did not rush to agree, but pointed to the carriage, "But I'm not alone, are you sure that your family has enough places to sleep?"
The boy nodded his head and gestured with his hands, "I have several beds in my house, and there are many houses." ”
Li Chenfeng nodded, and under the gaze of the little boy, he put the carriage at the door, and put the silver tattoo in his hand on the boy's hand.
The boy was also the master of the errand, and after receiving the money, he immediately opened the door of the courtyard, and let these strangers he did not know invite. When he saw Jin Xiaoxi coming down from the carriage, the little boy lost his maturity and stability, but became shy, and his words became less.
After everyone got out of the car, the boy led everyone into the spacious courtyard, and without too much introduction, he arranged everyone directly into the house.
As for the abundance of space mentioned earlier, I am not telling a lie, the room that should have been fully furnished is also very spacious, and the bed is really a lot.
"Are you alone in your house?" Li Chen said.
"And a mother-in-law. The boy said.
"Oh, what about your mother's relatives. Li Chenfeng said.
"I went to embroider for others, saying that I would go for several days, and I guess I won't be able to come back today. The boy said.
"Do you have anything to eat at home?" Li Chenfeng said.
"It's okay to eat, but it's going to cost more. The boy spread his palms.
Li Chenfeng smiled and took out a piece of broken silver and put it in the boy's hand.
Looking at the broken silver in his hand, the boy was a little dissatisfied, muttered stinginess in his mouth, and turned to leave.
Not long after, the boy came back, holding a lot of food in his hand, and even a bottle of wine, and after putting it on the table, he stretched out his hand to Li Chenfeng and said, "The money is not enough, I still owe it." ”
Li Chenfeng looked at the food that was quite rich, especially the wine that had made Old Man Gu's eyes glow, so he had to give the little boy some broken silver.
The boy took the silver, weighed it lightly in his hand, and smiled very happily as if it was full of weight.
Jin Xiaoxi, who was also watching, said: "Wealth fans. ”
When everyone was eating, the boy sitting on the door frame gnawed on the already hard cake, and when he saw the oily and wanton roast chicken in everyone's hands, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the already unchewed cake crumbs choked and coughed violently.
Li Chenfeng smiled slightly when he saw this, leaned over to Jin Xiaoxi's ear, and said something.
Although Jin Xiaoxi was reluctant, she was still obedient, tore off a chicken leg, walked to the child's side, and sent it forward.
"For your little money junkie. Jin Xiaoxi said.
The boy was not restrained, took the chicken leg and took a bite of it, and even took a bite of the cake in his hand, and there were a lot of crumbs on his oily mouth, but the boy still ate it very deliciously.
"I'm not called a little money fan, my name is Tian Lin. The boy's cheeks were bulging with food in his mouth, and he looked at Jin Xiaoxi and said vaguely.
"It's a money junkie. Jin Xiaoxi grimaced at Tian Lin, then ignored it and turned back to the table.
"Why don't you eat at the table? Li Chenfeng looked at the child named Tian Lin and said.
Tian Lin swallowed the food in his mouth, licked his lips and said: "You are guests, and you have spent money, so naturally you can't share a table with you, my mother said, this is called etiquette, and it is also called the distinction between the poor and the rich." ”
Fan Weisheng listened to the difference, like overturning the five-flavor sauce in his heart, not a taste, he used to be in an official position, where did he know the days of the poor, this way, how many small things he took for granted, in the eyes of the people, it is difficult to compare to the sky.
"Come, child, come here and sit and eat. Fan Weisheng said.
Xiao Tianlin looked at Fan Weisheng, who was inexplicably emotional, although he didn't feel malice, he still didn't dare to step forward, how could the child understand the emotional expression of an adult man.
"Did your mother teach you that it is rude to refuse the kindness of others? Li Chenfeng smiled.
Xiao Tianlin looked at the young man in black with a warm smile, his guard relaxed, he was no longer afraid of refusal, sat next to Fan Weisheng, picked up chopsticks, and ate the usual and extravagant meal.
