Chapter 202: Getting in the way
(New week, ask for subscriptions, ask for tickets!)
In the upper room of the inn, it was dark, and Chen Tang was sitting on the bed. The sword case is cross-knee. When you move, there is the sound of water rippling in it.
After a while, the sound of the water died down, and there was no more movement.
Chen Tang exerted the aura of heaven and man, entered the inside, and sensed that the sword in the box was sharp again, and it was clear.
He was overjoyed in his heart, feeling that tonight's harvest was really good.
That lady, in terms of strength, is better than the sedan chair ghost that day. However, before the unsolvable sword box, it was just ashes. In the end, it still can't escape the fate of becoming food.
Ever since facing the Yin and Yang Netherworld Tree, a sword qi was stimulated, and this sword box was a little sluggish. It has been a long time since the ghost benefited, but tonight, I was finally able to make up for it, and there were finally signs of rejuvenation. But it's not far from the next excitation. There are still shortcomings, and they must continue to be devoured.
Do you still want it......
In the dark, Chen Tang sighed.
The night passed, and the next day, they were told to pack their things and prepare to set off. Staying in Yishan County for two nights, the main reason is to come for the evil spirit, and since it has been taken away, there is naturally no need to stay any longer.
When eating breakfast at the inn, Xiao Er, who went out to buy ingredients, ran back in a hurry and shouted: "Luo Xiucai, Song Xiucai, they have been rescued!"
The shopkeeper was stunned: "Early in the morning, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The shopkeeper said excitedly: "Shopkeeper." It's true, and the whole county has spread it. There are no missing people, but they are all too thin to look like men, and they are recuperating at home. And the yamen also issued a notice, saying that it was to invite the masters of the nine doors to come out and solve the evil ghosts, and our county will be safe. ”
"In that case, it would be fine!"
The shopkeeper was also very happy, after all, after the haunting, his inn business was also greatly affected, and his popularity was much colder.
Ah Bao stuffed steamed buns in his mouth and said vaguely: "This county government can invite the master of nine doors, it's amazing." ”
Chen Tang glanced at him: "You have to eat quickly, eat well and go." ”
This yamen notice, I don't know if it's Pei Tong's words, probably. This master of the Nine Doors almost folded in the temple, such a troubled thing. Naturally, you have to cover it up, and then take all the credit on yourself, so as to be rewarded.
But for this, Chen Tang doesn't care, the harvest has been received, as for the rest, no matter how others toss.
After breakfast, the luggage and things were loaded into the car, Ah Lai shouted, drove the carriage, and went out of the city.
In the carriage, Chen Tang sat on one side, closing his eyes and recuperating, and on the other side, Su Ling and Ah Hua were there, and the two took out their handiwork and started needlework. didn't make a sound, for fear of making noise to Chen Tang.
The weather was a little gloomy today, and sure enough, after half an hour, there were raindrops falling.
It's autumn rain, not big, and it looks like it's dripping. It landed on the roof of the car with a scattered sound.
With the rain, the cool air is heavy, and when the wind blows, it blows on the face, and there is a chill in the heart.
Ah Lai and Ah Bao sat on the wheel, just in the wind and rain. But they were also prepared, put on cotton hats, and wrap themselves in thick clothes.
In the wind and rain, the rouge horse seemed to be unaffected by anything, and ran unhurriedly. Although it pulls a heavy carriage, it doesn't seem to be very difficult.
In the carriage, Chen Tang suddenly asked, "Ah Ling, is it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Su Ling replied: "There are still three days left." ”
"Three days?"
Chen Tang muttered: "The days go by really fast. ”
I remember the last Mid-Autumn Festival, I spent it in the capital. In the blink of an eye, it's another year.
It's only three days, and I shouldn't be able to catch up with Nanfu County, this Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid I have to pass on the road. Or, it is also a good choice to enter the Jiangzhou state capital for the holiday.
Jiangzhou and Ningzhou are both important towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Prosperous and lively, the pen and ink are prosperous, and many talented and beautiful women, as well as calligraphy and painting masters, etc. As the saying goes, the world's scholars are romantic, and Jiangnan has eight buckets.
It's not just talk.
Along the way, the reason why Chen Tang and his entourage stopped and stopped was because they wanted to enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. If you take office, you won't be so free, and you can play and watch everywhere.
was provoked to the topic, Su Ling said: "Brother Jin." I heard that the customs here in Jiangnan are different from ours. ”
Chen Tang nodded and replied: "Of course it's different, the customs and customs are very different." As for the diet, you have also tasted it, and it is sweeter. ”
Su Ling smiled: "But it's also delicious." ”
"yes, especially those flower cakes, I still want to eat them after eating. ”
The maid Ah Hua echoed.
This Ah Hua is rough and big-footed, and she works very quickly, but her appearance can only be said to be average, and her temperament is also a little stupid and illiterate.
Chen Tang took a fancy to her honesty.
When he was in Panzhou, many rich and noble families offered to give Yahuan, all of them were girls with beautiful faces, but Chen Tang politely refused. When the family business begins to develop, the house is equal to the backyard, and there are more women, and one by one there are hidden scheming. It's easy to go wrong. For those bloody intrigues, Chen Tang was the most disgusted. Therefore, when employing people, only use the honest and obedient.
Su Ling said: "It's delicious, but it's not cheap." ”
Chen Tang smiled: "It's okay, when we get to Jiangzhou Mansion, let's continue to look for delicious food." ”
As he spoke, Ah Lai jerked the reins and shouted, stopping the carriage.
Chen Tang frowned and asked, "Ah Lai, what's wrong?"
It was Po who answered: "Childe, there is someone in front of you blocking the way." ”
Hearing this, Chen Tang was stunned, lifted the curtain and looked: But seeing the rain everywhere, it was barren on both sides, and there was no one in sight.
Such a place has always belonged to a remote section of the official road, which is easy to breed trouble.
About a few feet ahead, there stood a tall man, wearing a broad robe and a felt hat, and his face could not be seen clearly. His hands hung down, silently stopping in the center of the road. Silent.
Ah Bao said in disbelief: "Isn't this guy trying to get in the car to avoid the rain?"
Chen Tang's gaze became cold, and he had already recognized the other party, it was the strange man who followed behind the Taoist and was inseparable. It's just that at the moment, there is no trace of that person, and I don't know where he is hiding.
The other party is in the way, obviously the person who came is not good.
He suddenly realized that the other party had probably been following his carriage until he reached this barren section of the road before he appeared to intercept it. When they were in Yishan County, they had some scruples, so they didn't do it.
So, is it trying to rob money? Or is it for another purpose?
The strange man in front of him suddenly looked up, and he could see a pair of eyes, emitting a strange red glow, full of a bloodthirsty and crazy color, not like a normal human being.
Suddenly, he began to run, like a mad bison, and the target was the carriage that Chen Tang and the others were in.
On the wheel, Alai Abao was obviously stunned, and for a while, he didn't know how to react.
"Rouge, rush!"
Chen Tang shouted.
"Yu Yu!"
The head of the rouge horse neighed, and the four hooves were scattered, and it was gained, like a mallet striking the earth.
Charge!~
