Chapter Seventy-One: The Tricks of a Liar

Xie Youlong is an honest man, and when he saw Bian Xiaoxia say this, he said kindly: "I won't tell you anything, I haven't been there either, but I heard from my classmates and friends that when they went, they ate and drank and spent a little money, and they spent a total of about three hundred taels of silver."

Bian Xiaoxia was surprised: "Do you want so much money? It seems that the small amount of silver I have accumulated through bankruptcy, which is not enough for the passage to Lin'an." ”

Xie Youlong said: "If you only bring fifty taels of silver, it is indeed not enough." ”

Bian Xiaoxia sighed and said, "Then I have to be cheeky, go to my cousin's house in Yugan County to borrow a few dozen taels, and reluctantly go to Lin'an to Bo him." ”

Xie Youlong also looked melancholy, and said for Bian Xiaoxia: "Let's go and borrow a few dozen taels first, since we are both hard-working scholars, it is not easy to have a cold window for ten years, yellow rolls and green lights." At that time, we will barely scrape together some living expenses to keep our stomachs empty along the way. ”

Bian Xiaoxia said: "Teacher Domeng is kind. Now the rivers and lakes are sinister, and thieves are rampant. Is the teacher coming alone, or is he traveling with someone? Or is he being escorted?"

Xie Youlong pointed to Du Shenfei and the calf next to him and said, "Don't bother, I have these two friends to accompany me." ”

Bian Xiaoxia looked at Niu Lixian and was taken aback, and said: "The teacher is escorted by such a majestic and powerful person, it is really like the resurrection of the overlord of Chu, the reincarnation of Zhang Fei, and the reincarnation of Wei Chigong, no one dares to provoke him if he wants to come?" ”

Xie Youlong looked at Du Shenfei and said with a smile: "My two friends, who can fight and are versatile, don't hide it, they do have the ability to capture the dragon and subdue the tiger, and they are thieves, so they don't have to worry too much." ”

Bian Xiaoxia said: "The teacher has a strong waist, and there are powerful soldiers to escort him all the way." I am very envious of the next. ”

Xie Youlong said: "If you don't dislike it, you can walk with us and go to Lin'an, so that you won't be 'standing alone and hanging from each other'." ”

Bian Xiaoxia said: "I deeply feel the kindness of the teacher. Since the teacher said so. There are fifty taels of silver next to me, and I want to store it in the teacher's box, which is foolproof. But I don't know if the teacher will agree?"

Xie Youlong laughed and said, "Why not?"

Bian Xiaoxia took out the fifty taels of silver from his side and handed it to Xie Youlong, Xie Youlong opened the cage and wrapped Bian Xiaoxia's fifty taels of silver in it.

The two chatted very pleasantly.

Du Shenfei met with the calf first, and they also talked about it with laughter.

The journey went smoothly until the evening.

It's just that the little man over there is holding his stomach and screaming that his stomach hurts.

Xie Youlong said: "I think it's the cold of spring, and the young are frozen, this season of high incidence of colds, I can be a little patient, and when I get to Longxing Mansion, just buy a patch of medicine and eat it." ”

Bian Xiaoxia frowned, seemed to be hunched over in pain, and said, "It's the only way to go." ”

The boat arrives at Longxing Mansion at night to stop, this Longxing Mansion has developed water and land transportation, the situation is dangerous, it is close to the southwest shore of Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, since ancient times, it has the name of "Guangdong Hu Min Ting, Wu Tou Chu Tail", "Three Rivers and Five Lakes". There are Tengwang Pavilion, Shengjin Pagoda and other historic sites.

The four of them came ashore, and the calf carried the cage first, and it was no effort.

Bian Xiaoxia had a pain in his stomach and suffered from diarrhea, and he screamed while walking.

Xie Youlong, Du Shenfei and others had no choice but to find a dilapidated inn by the river, where they were all people who came and went to work and worked hard.

Du Shenfei, Xie Youlong and other four people also rented a big room and lived there.

Bian Xiaoxia also went to the toilet five or six times.

Xie Youlong is a warm-hearted person, he just thought that Bian Xiaoxia really had a cold and diarrhea, and went to the pharmacy to buy him a patch of fried psyllium powder, asked the innkeeper for a bowl of millet soup, and gave Bian Xiaoxia this patch.

Du Shenfei felt very strange, suddenly woke up, and said in his heart: "This person looks very strange. From the beginning of talking to Mr. Xie, pretending to be a fellow villager, and pretending to be a scholarly and courteous, saying that he was also going to Lin'an to catch the exam, and then doing everything possible to find out how much we have, and sending his fifty taels of silver in our box, and now pretending to have a stomachache and diarrhea, and constantly opening and closing the door and running in and out, could it be that he is beating our idea of three hundred taels of silver?"

As soon as Du Shenfei had this thought, he immediately knew it, and when Bian Xiaoxia went out again, he hurriedly picked up a dozen broken bricks and tiles from the corner of the small inn, took out the small bag containing the three hundred and fifty taels of silver in the box, poured out all the silver in the bag, wrapped it in an old coat, hid it under his own cover, and put the dozen or so broken bricks in the bag, threw them in the box, and removed the lock on the box and placed it on the top of the box.

Xie Youlong and the calf saw each other and were very surprised.

The calf said first: "Big brother, what are you doing with your family's silver that is not well placed in the box, but hidden in the bed? When you leave tomorrow, your eyes are hazy, your brain is confused, and you forget to search for it for a while, what can you do?"

Xie Youlong also asked suspiciously, "Little goldfish, what do you mean by this?"

Du Shenfei stretched out two fingers and put them to his mouth, "shh ”

Xie Youlong was about to ask again, but he saw Bian Xiaoxia "humming" and holding his stomach, and walked in with a sad face.

Xie Youlong asked with concern, "Isn't your belly a little better?"

Bian Xiaoxia said: "Don't hide it from the teacher, it doesn't hurt now, it's just diarrhea, and I have to go to the pit a few times tonight." ”

Xie Youlong said: "According to this, it seems that the medical book "Su Shen Liangfang" is also not very reliable. ”

Du Shenfei asked, "Sir, why is that book unreliable?"

Xie Youlong said: "Su Shen Liangfang" records the allusion of Ouyang repairing psyllium to stop diarrhea. He said: 'The public has tasted a violent downfall, and the national medicine cannot cure it.' Mrs. Yun: The people in the city have this medicine, three articles and one post, and it is very effective. Gong said: My viscera is different from the city people, and it is not acceptable. Mrs. made the Chinese medicine mixed with it, and it was cured with one serving. The public calls for the seller to leave it behind, ask for its prescription, and it is willing to pass on for a long time, but with psyllium as the end, the rice drinks two money dagger, and the cloud medicine is good for the waterway and does not move the air, and the waterway is clear and turbid, and the grain is self-stopping. ’”

Du Shenfei said: "In this book, it is said that Ouyang Xiu ate this medicinal powder and had diarrhea?"

Xie Youlong said: "Exactly! This medicine is also the medicine given by Langzhong in the city, and now it has been used for actual verification, and it has not cured this border brother's diarrhea." It's unreliable. ”

Du Shenfei said: "It is also possible that this time it is unreliable, and it can't be said that the book "Su Shen Liangfang" is unreliable. He looked at Bian Xiaoxia who was lying on the bed again, and said, "Maybe this old brother Bian has other difficult illnesses that caused diarrhea." ”

Bian Xiaoxia heard this, and immediately said: "What Brother Du said is extremely true, if you have the opportunity another day, you must go to Lang Zhong for a full body physical examination." ”

Du Shenfei snorted coldly and said, "Brother Bian should go to find a Lang Zhong who has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate and cut off the root of this diarrhea." ”

But the calf first fell asleep on the bed.

Xie Youlong said: "Brother Bian has a good night's sleep tonight, maybe tomorrow morning." ”

Bian Xiaoxia said: "It's just that I can't go out tonight, just to disturb everyone's sleep." ”

Xie Youlong said: "Okay! Brother Bian is steady." ”

Du Shenfei said: "Since Brother Bian has to go out to the pit often tonight." In my opinion, the door does not need to be bolted, so there is no sound, and it will not affect the sleep of the three of us. ”

When Bian Xiaoxia heard this, he was in the middle of it, and he was overjoyed.

Xie Youlong showed a worried look and said, "Little goldfish, I'm afraid this is not good?"

Du Shenfei said: "Why is it bad?"

Xie Youlong said: "We are far away, what if a thief comes in and moves all the luggage trays?"

Du Shenfei said with a smile: "Sir, rest assured! This inn is full of hard-working people who have no money, as the saying goes: although a thief is a villain, he is wiser than a gentleman." The cunning of the thief is unexpected, and he knows this radius of dozens of miles clearly. There are thieves who will not patronize this place, in vain. We came here by chance for another night, and tomorrow we will leave before dawn, so we will not be so unlucky, just in time, we were stolen. ”

Xie Youlong is an honest person, hearing what Du Shenfei said, he was relieved to fall asleep boldly.
