Text Chapter 46: Boarding the Flower Boat (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve)
After the white old ghost took Ruhua away.
There were only two men and one dog left in the yard.
One is a handsome pot with no tasks, basking in the sun, and a little decadent; the other is a little monk who always shouts that he wants to send the relics of the old monk to the temple of the temple; and there is a howling dog who is not in love with his family and likes to hook up everywhere......
There are fewer people, but the days are pure.
But after being clean, it seems a little boring.
And he is also short of money, and his life is tight.
"Why don't you have a mission yet?" Shuai Guo lay on the bench, basking in the sun, and thought, "Could it be that she forgot about me?" ”
The hand touched the pocket, and it was empty.
"Poor jingle sound, no, you can't sit still, you have to take the initiative. ”
From his chair, he stood up.
After tidying up his clothes, he hurried to Hua Xiangrong, paused at the door for a while, and then pushed the door in.
When he entered the door, he shouted, "Hua Xiangrong?"
Hua Xiangrong came back from shopping, and was changing into new clothes in the room, the brocade silk green shirt, wearing it on his body, took a photo in front of the bronze mirror, and was quite satisfied. At this time, she heard someone calling her, and when she heard the voice, she was quite familiar, and said, "Who?"
Shuai Guo said: "Me!"
Hua Xiangrong walked out of the room, saw that it was him, and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Shuai Guo saw that Hua Xiangrong walked out wearing a green shirt, just like a person in a painting, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "It's so beautiful!"
Hua Xiangrong blushed and said, "How can there be?"
"What do you think, I'm talking about clothes. ”
"You ......" Hua Xiangrong's voice turned cold, and said, "Say, what are you looking for me?"
"Can't I come and see you if it's nothing?"
Hua Xiangrong looked at him suspiciously: "I've seen it, I can go now." Then he drove him away.
"Wait a minute," Shuai Guo said quickly.
Hua Xiang Rong said in his heart, he really had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
"Have you had any missions lately, the kind that pay well, have a short time, and have a low risk factor. ”
Hua Xiang glanced at him, not angry, and said: "You think of the beauty, if there is, I will take it myself, and it will be your turn there." ”
"My aunt, help me take on a task, I'm too poor to open the pot. ”
Looking at his cute appearance, Hua Xiangrong felt funny.
Poof!
She laughed out loud and said, "There's a mission." ”
"I'll take it. ”
"I haven't finished speaking, you're going to take it?" Hua Xiangrong said: "It's an escort mission." ”
Shuai Guo said in his heart, it is the task of escort, the task of escort, it takes a long time, the road is bumpy, and it is tiring. Moreover, if you are exposed to the sun, the risk factor is greatly increased: "There is no task to kill." ”
"How can there be so many assassination missions!"
It's better to have a task than no task.
"Escort mission, I'll take it. Shuai Guo said dejectedly: "Go there?"
"Dunhuang. ”
"Dunhuang, so far?" Shuai Guo said, starting from Kaifeng to Dunhuang, this trip, at least a month or two, and then back, half a year.
Suddenly, I thought of something, and said to myself: "It is really the will of heaven." ”
To get to the temple, you have to go through Dunhuang.
Just enough to take the little monk and wait to escort people to Dunhuang. He is going to the temple with the little monk, and he can earn some silver without spending money, which is really providential.
"Hahaha....." Shuai Guo thought about it and laughed.
Hua Xiangrong looked at him and suddenly laughed, thinking that he was crazy, and said, "Sick?"
"If you are sick, go to Langzhong. ”
You just got sick, and I thought about this curse in my heart, and said, "I'll go!"
"Why are you swearing. Hua Xiangrong's face was displeased, and he said.
Shuai Guo knew that she had misunderstood, and explained: "What I said is, I'll go." ”
"I'm not deaf, I can hear it, what you said is, I'll go!"
Shuai Guo changed his words and said, "I took this task." There's nothing wrong with that.
"You really take it, it's a long way away, and the pay is not high. ”
The pay is not high, and he sighed in his heart, and he couldn't be too little, and hurriedly asked, "How much silver?"
"One hundred taels. ”
One hundred taels, at least one hundred taels to kill someone, is a matter of an instant. And to go to Dunhuang, at least one or two months, only one hundred taels, and the road is not smooth, there are unknown dangers.
It is inevitable that there is some loss in my heart.
He thought for a moment and said, "Can I bring someone?" It's free, no silver, just take care of it." ”
Hua Xiangrong looked at him and said suspiciously: "Buy one get one free?" You don't want to take that little monk with you." ”
Shuai Guo smiled awkwardly and nodded.
"That's all?"
Shuai Guo said: "Let me think about it. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't have anything else to bring, and said, that's all.
If the howling dog is here, he will bark, human pet, I, me, you forgot me.
"I'll give you an answer as soon as I have news. After speaking, Hua Xiangrong touched his stomach and said, "After saying so much, my stomach is hungry." ”
Shuai Guo hummed a song and entered the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook.
When the dish is ready, it is brought to the table.
"The flowers want to be Rong, and it's time to eat. ”
Hua Xiangrong came out of the room, spent light makeup, clean and natural.
"You're wearing makeup. ”
"Is it pretty?"
"Good looking. ”
Hua Xiangrong said: "It's the makeup that looks good, not the people who look good." ”
Wait for Hua Xiangrong to sit down, pick up the chopsticks, taste it, spit it out, and frowned: "Salty." ”
"Impossible. ”
Shuai Guo picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dishes, tasted them carefully, and said, "No." ”
Hahaha.....
Hua Xiangrong plopped and laughed.
"Wow, you're kidding me?" said Shuai Guo.
After eating, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the handsome pot wandered in the yard for a while, and when he saw Hua Xiangrong walking out, he opened his mouth and said, "Hua Xiangrong?"
"What!"
"Nothing. ”
"If you have anything to say, say it. ”
Shuai Guo pondered for a while and said, "I heard that today's Yuhe is very lively, and I want to invite you to go shopping." ”
Hua Xiangrong looked at him, the roots of his ears were a little red, and he said yes, and turned back to the room.
.....
The rise of Kaifeng.
Thanks to the excavation of the Bianhe River.
In Kaifeng City, there is a small river, which is connected to the Bianhe River, called Yuhe.
On both sides of the river, pavilions and pavilions were built.
And tonight, on this royal river, a flower boat parade was held.
On both sides of the river, the lights are full of lights, and they are in full swing.
There was a big boat, full of red lanterns, and the girls on it danced and sang. And in each of the little docks, there is a small boat that transports guests to that big ship.
on the road.
"Buy a mask, Childe. "Hawker road on the road.
Shuai Guo touched his purse, and he was shy in his pocket.
Hua Xiangrong took out the silver, gave it to the vendor, and bought two flower face masks.
"Speaking of which, I have swallowed your silver so many times, and you don't hate me?"
He didn't know, and he said, "Money is something outside the body." ”
"Speaking of which, I've known you for more than four months. I remember the first time we met, you dressed up as an old woman, and as soon as you came up, you stabbed me with a knife. ”
Hua Xiangrong said as she walked: "Yes, time flies, it's really fast." ”
"If I had been slow to react, would you have really stabbed me to death?" said Shuai Guo wearing a mask.
Hua Xiangrong smiled and said, "I never do loss-making business, and no one pays money to buy your life, of course I won't stab you to death, at most stabbing you." ”
Shuai Guo was serious and said, "What do you mean by this? If someone gives money, then you will kill me." ”
"It depends on the price offered by the other party, if the price is high, I can consider it. ”
Shuai Guo didn't listen to her ridicule, and said, "You...... Hmph, I'm the same. If someone gives money to assassinate you, I will not show mercy. ”
Hua Xiangrong said: "I am so sad when you say that." ”
"You said that first. ”
"People are just talking. ”
By the river, there is a small boat parked there, and there is a sign hanging in front of it, which is a puzzle, and if you answer it correctly, you can get on the boat. Of course, there is another way to get on the ship, which is to throw silver.
A literati, standing there, looking at the puzzle: "White and tender (hit a food)." ”
After a long time, he said, "Tofu." ”
"That's right, son, please get on board. ”
The boatman put on a new puzzle, 'The sunset is fragrant, so as not to be mortal.' ’
The boatman said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there are still two vacant seats on the ship." ”
When the boat was full, he set off and got on the big flower boat.
Handsome pot, Hua Xiangrong saw that there were people gathered there, so he stepped forward, joined in the fun, looked at the puzzle, Hua Xiangrong said, "Did you guess?"
Shuai Guo shook his head and said, "I can't guess." ”
"I thought you had some talent, but I didn't expect you to even guess such a simple riddle?"
I don't know when it was the source of my happiness to hit him.
Shuai Guo was very hurt and said: "Alas, I was poor when I was a child, I didn't read any books, but the old man taught me to recognize some words, and I also want to be a talent, but ......"
Hua Xiangrong looked at him with a pitiful look and whispered, "Okay, okay, the puzzle is, bald." ”
thought in my heart, people still have to rely on acting skills when they walk in the rivers and lakes.
"Bald. Shuai Guo immediately spoke up and said.
He thought there would be some reward.
And the boatman looked at him and said, "This boy is right, please get on board." ”
Shuai Guo wondered in his heart, could it be that the reward was on the boat, and he stepped on the boat.
At this time, the boatman posted another riddle, 'When the furnace is out, keep the horses in place.' ’
Hua Xiangrong said, "Donkey." ”
"How is it a woman?" muttered to the boatman, and although Hua Xiangrong was wearing a mask, she could be judged by her voice and dress to be a woman.
Although she was confused, the rule was that she could get on the boat if she answered correctly, so she was invited to get on the boat.
Shuai Guo gave up a seat and let Hua Xiangrong sit down.
And the boatman shook his oars and sailed towards the big flower boat, which was slow and leisurely, and the people on the boat were silent.
When the boat approached the big boat.
Two guards approached, wearing masks with a Seven Son written on them, and several painted face masks in their hands.
"Childe, please bring a mask. ”
The group of Shuai Guo was a fat man who did not wear a mask, and he spent a hundred taels of silver to board the ship.
"If you ask me to wear it, I'll wear it, it's shameless. The fat man, tilting his head, shouted loudly.
One of the guards stepped forward and kicked him into the river.
Thump.
The man fell into the river and shouted, "Do you know who I am, do you know who my father is?" ”
