Chapter 11 Travel

After Master and I made plans to move, we couldn't make the trip for a while.

Why is it not suitable to go out today, there is not enough entanglement on the road, the rainy season has not passed, no one has taken over the shop, and Aunt Zhang on South Street has borrowed two taels of silver from us and has not returned it......

If it weren't for Master's parcels, which were carefully packed and hung on the beams of the house every day, I would have thought that he was lazy and itchy and planned to spend his life in this shop.

In the days when our father and I were grinding in the shop, a few more guests came to visit one after another, and the master didn't let me get involved in these few times, saying that these businesses are trivial, and you don't need to watch from the sidelines.

I'm also happy to be idle, anyway, I've saved a little bit of private money, Master has the ability to cheat money, then cheat a little more, after all, in the future, to buy a new shop, the money still has to rely on his old man's money, now save a little more belongings, you can have a few more full meals in the future.

Master's silver bag is bulging day by day, and he has changed his previous lazy style of doing things on weekdays, and ushered in a lively conversation and laughter, so that he looks like a dog. I saw tears in my eyes, your old man is so capable, why did you go earlier, why did we two suffer from those starvations in the first place?

When the master arrived at night, he carefully closed the door: "Now what we are doing is a business of getting a ticket and leaving, the advantage is that it makes money quickly, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to be beaten when we meet with customers in the future." ”

I don't have much to say about this, after all, I don't interfere in the current business, and even if I get beaten, I can't hit my head.

What really prompted Master and I to leave our homeland was that night.

On that day, the master was about to close the door, locked the door according to the custom, turned his head and prepared to go back to the room to count the silver and sleep.

I sat at the table yawning when I heard a loud bang on the door, and the deadbolt behind Master broke in two and fell to the ground with two crunching sounds.

I was shocked that the customer came to the door so soon? You can see clearly that it is the stupid old man at the door who cheated you out of your money, and he has nothing to do with me......

The small shop door was hit so hard that it was not broken into pieces, presumably the person who came must be a person with high martial arts skills and good at controlling the strength, otherwise it must be the door that is broken instead of the door bolt.

The uninvited guest pushed the door in, wearing a red robe, black cowhide official boots, and a jade belt around his waist, majestic, not with the slightest murderous aura, but with a proud face, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person who was willing to give up easily.

I cried out in my heart, and said in my heart, Master, you just deceived the squire and local tyrants, why did you deceive the government?

The master nodded at the door: "I don't know if the master is coming, and the grass people are far away to welcome ......"

The uninvited guest raised his hand to signal the master to shut up, and said, "I heard that your shop can repair the Dao heart, really?"

The master pretended to be stupid: "What kind of rice salary, official, you put a hundred hearts, as long as there are fragments, we can make up for you with any pots and pans here!"

The man glanced at the master with slanted eyes: "Don't give me a flamboyant tongue! Someone in the capital will see you by name, give you a day, and follow me into Beijing the morning after tomorrow." ”

"If you do a good job, you will be prosperous and rich, and if you don't do it well, you will die in Huangquan. Don't think about running, you can't run away. ”

The uninvited guest closed the door and left, leaving Master and I staring at each other.

I grabbed Master's arm with tears in my eyes: "Master, what should I do? Why did you still alarm the court by cheating some money?"

The master frowned sadly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”

I asked, "Then do you really want to go to the capital?"

"Go for a hammer, pack up your things, we'll run early tomorrow morning. ”

"Where can you run away? The world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and sooner or later he will be arrested. ”

Master's big hand pressed my head and rubbed it indiscriminately: "I'll take you to the rivers and lakes." ”
