Lu Zhu'er carefully held the bloody clothes with dense small characters written on them, and she never put them down along the way. It was as if the bloody garment would shatter and rot as soon as it left her hand.

Two or three hundred miles away, it took more than four hours for everyone to arrive. At this time, the sun was lazily lying in the arms of Xishan, and her face was so red, as if she had smeared a good rouge with a fragrant and bright red.

The autumn day is cool, and in the evening, everyone feels a hint of coldness. The icy breeze pierced the crowd like a capillary needle, as if to foreshadow how cold the winter would be in a few months.

It's almost there, and Green Pearl can't help but trot.

"Old Man Tang, where are they now?" Xiao Shanming opened his lips lightly and muttered to himself.

"Hopefully, they're not going anywhere. Sun Mingxiang replied.

When they entered the woods, they saw a slightly rickety figure dressed in black from a distance, pacing back and forth in front of the tombstone.

"Grandpa!" shouted Green Bead, and then ran towards the man. When the man heard this, his body staggered. Suddenly, he slowly turned his head and said, "Green Pearl?"

As soon as the man turned around, Green Pearl's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. She was silent for a while and said, "Grandpa Tan......"

I just saw that the person standing in front of the tomb was not Tang Wenzhong, this was also an old man, with white hair and a clear temperament. But one of the old man's right eyes was covered with a layer of ash, and it looked cloudy.

Lu Zhu'er stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Tan, why are you here, my grandfather?" Everyone saw that Lu Zhu'er was familiar with the old man, so they immediately followed. This old man's surname is Tan, and his name is Ziniu. He is an old friend of Tang Wen Zhongyi, who roamed the rivers and lakes when he was young, and later went into business, and is now a top wealthy businessman in several nearby counties. Back then, Tang Wen Zhong entrusted Lu Zhu'er to this old man Tan.

After the old man Tan glanced at the crowd, he said to Lu Zhu'er: "Your grandfather, he ......" Old man Tan wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly, he took out a letter from his arms and said, "Take a look for yourself." Lu Zhu'er hurriedly took the letter, opened it and read it. The more Lu Zhu'er looked at it, the more her face sank.

Old Man Tan said slowly: "I am guarding here just to pass on this letter to you." ”

Lu Zhu'er closed the letter and said, "Grandpa took grandma to Lin'an to see the doctor?"

Old Man Tan nodded and said, "Yes, half a month ago, your grandfather suddenly found me and said that I would arrange someone to escort them to Lin'an." I don't know where he got the news, saying that the drug king who served the court was actually doing free medical treatment on the street for the first time, and he planned to take your grandmother to the drug king to have a look. ”

When Feng Yushu heard this, he wondered: "Did the seniors already know that the two predecessors of Tang were still alive?"

"Now that Green Beads already knows, I won't hide it anymore. Old Man Tan sighed, and then said: "The stone room in this tomb was repaired by me for Old Tang. After that, Old Man Tan felt that something was wrong. He pondered for a moment and then said to Lu Zhu'er: "Lu Zhu'er, don't blame us for not telling you, we are thinking about you!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhu'er's heart darkened, and she said to herself: "Yes, the grandfathers are all for Lu Zhu'er's good." Immediately, she said loudly: "I'm going to Lin'an to find my grandma!"

Old Man Tan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Okay, I will arrange the carriage and horses." ”

Xiao Shanming said: "It just so happens that Ah Xiang and I are fine, and I can give you a ride by the way." ”

Lu Zhu'er nodded, she looked at the bloody clothes on her arms, and then at Feng Yushu who was smiling, her eyes were full of reluctance. Sun Mingxiang saw the emotions of Lu Zhu'er's daughter's family, and she smiled: "Sister Lu Zhu'er, if you can trust your sister, then your sister will help you give this dress to Old Man Tang, and how about you go to Shuzhou with Yushu Gongzi and Senior Cao?"

When Lu Zhu'er heard this, she hurriedly turned her head into a rattle. After she shook off that reluctance, her eyes were full of determination, and she smiled: "Thank you sister for your kindness, I want to go through this Lin'an in person." But she thought in her heart: "Brother Yushu, see you next time, I, Lu Zhu'er, will definitely make a cow and a horse for you to repay your affection." ”

At this time, Feng Yushu smiled and said, "You should be careful along the way. When Senior Cao and I arrive in Chengdu, I will write back to you. The letter will be delivered to Mr. Cheng's house on Sesame Yau Street, and if you want to reply to the letter, just give it to Mr. Cheng. ”

Xiao Shanming hugged his fists and said, "Brother Yushu, take care!"

Feng Yushu hugged his fists and said, "Brother Xiao, take care." ”

Farewell today, I don't know how much wind, frost, rain and snow will be suffered when everyone meets again in the future?

In the blink of an eye, night and dawn are bright.

Let's say that the river is rolling, and the people on both sides of the strait are crowded, and everyone is looking up at the White Emperor City. A light boat docked, and two men and a woman dismounted. These three people are Dong Ping, who wanted to go to Chengdu by boat. Lin Sanchuan got off the boat and saw the prosperous scene in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, why are there so many people!"

Dong Ping took a look at the many people on the riverbank, only to see that most of these people were hanging swords with swords, and they were all practitioners. Then, Dong Ping followed their gaze again. Just look at the head of the White Emperor City, a white Lian is waving in the wind.

"Look at what is written on that banner. Dong Ping said. Lin Sanchuan immediately looked over, stared at the head of the White Emperor City for a while, and said, "That banner is shaking so badly that I really can't see it clearly." ”

When Dong Ping heard this, he said indifferently: "Then leave it alone, find an inn first." ”

"It's probably not far from Chengdu. Leng Piaopiao said softly.

Dong Ping said with a smile: "After this White Emperor City, go more than a thousand miles to the west, and you will arrive." ”

With that, the three of them made their way through the crowd and walked towards the town not far away. In the small town by the river, it is also crowded with people at this time. Dong Ping and the three of them walked through several inns and restaurants, but they were all full. When he arrived at the town and found the last inn, as soon as he heard the voices of the people inside, Dong Ping shook his head and was about to take Leng Piao away.

If it was in the past, Dong Ping would have to find a seat here. But now that Leng Piaopiao is pregnant, he really doesn't want Leng Piaopiao to suffer this noise. But when the three were about to leave, a sharp-eyed runner went to see the three of them, and chased them out.

"Three objective, you slow down!"

Lin Sanchuan glared back, then shouted at the top of his voice: "There's no place left, what are you stopping us from doing!"

The running hall was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was cleaned up neatly. Although he went back and forth among the full house of guests, there was not the slightest grease stain on his body.

Ran Tang said with a smile: "Yes, yes, if a few objective people come, the small ones can find a place for a few people." ”

Dong Ping became interested when he heard this, he turned around and said, "I want a clean place." ”

Trotter Hall smiled and said, "That's going to take a bit of effort." ”

"Silver is not a problem. ”

When Trotting Hall heard this, he immediately said, "The backyard of the inn is clean, but you can give me some benefits." My shopkeeper is a snarky person, and if he knew that I would take people to the backyard, he might have given me a lot of shoes to wear. ”

Dong Ping smiled: "Then how much benefit do you want." ”

Trotting Hall immediately stretched out a slap and said, "Five taels, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Lin Sanchuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Five taels! You can't use three taels of silver to eat a meal in your shabby restaurant." I think you're itching!"

Trotting Tang was not afraid at all, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Those few will walk another hundred and fifty miles and go to the county government to eat." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Although the restaurants in this town are full, I saw three fish sellers, two tofu sellers, and one meat seller. You say that if I give them a tael of silver, will they treat us as guests and invite us home to entertain us?"

Trotting Hall was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he waved his hand and said, "How about three or two?"

Lin Sanchuan became angry when he heard this, and he really wanted to go up and beat him with black eyes. But Dong Ping stopped him and said, "Yes, this is fair." With that, Trotter Hall stretched out his hand. Dong Ping also stretched out his hand and slapped it. When he removed his hand, a piece of silver came out of the palm of the trot. Trotting Hall smiled and said, "You don't suffer, please come with me." ”

When the three of them were led through the lobby by the trot, Dong Ping didn't notice that there was an old acquaintance of his sitting in the corner.

Just look at the man, muttering to himself and drinking wine.

"Back then, I just went down with a palm like this, and locked his throat with a dragon flipping hand. But he didn't know how the sword stabbed me, and within a foot of it, it pierced my palm. Although my old thief also took his sword, it was still half a move to lose. "This man who drinks himself in the corner is undoubtedly the old thief. It is said that with the cultivation of the old god thief, even if a mosquito sneaks into the store, it will not escape his eyes. But just now, it was as if he hadn't seen Dong Ping at all.

Suddenly, the old thief raised his right palm and said with a little frustration: "Why did you lose to him again yesterday?" The old god shook his head and said, "When this kid had a sword, he could only beat the old thief by half a move." But now that he doesn't hold a sword, he can beat the old thief and me. When people are old, they are really useless. After that, the old thief shouted: "Little Er, serve the wine!"

Immediately, a simple and stocky man walked over. The old god thief smiled when he saw the people: "I said how many people are running in your little broken restaurant, just for a while, there are no less than five people to ...... for the old thief" The old thief thought that it was inappropriate to say this, so he said: "I poured wine for the old man." ”

The man smiled: "What you always said is that this is not how many people are today, we are all hired by the shopkeeper temporarily, not only to help, but also to earn a few expenses." ”

The old god smiled when he heard this, chatted with the man for two more steps, and then waved his hand to let him go. The old thief poured a pot of wine into his stomach, but he felt more and more depressed. He rubbed his hands together and swept his gaze to the crowd. At this moment, his eyes were shining.

Let's say that after Dong Ping and the three of them were led into the backyard by the trot, they felt the purity they had not seen for a long time. But the three of them saw that in this backyard, there were still four Peugeot women. Just look at these four people, they are all wearing close-fitting black clothes embroidered with gold edges, and their hair is tied into a bun with green silk, which is worn by a hosta. It looks very heroic.

The four women each carried a gauze tent in their hands, and as soon as the four of them closed it, they surrounded the middle. Through the curtain of the gauze tent, Dong Ping could vaguely see that there was a person sitting eating in it.

"It's a big one. After Dong Ping secretly scolded himself, he heard one of the four women say coldly: "Didn't I tell you earlier that we have covered this backyard?"

Trotting Hall smiled and said, "These are all guests, and I also invite a few sisters to be accommodating." ”

"Get them out. The woman's face was cold, but she didn't mean to be accommodating.

When the trotting hall heard this, and was about to say something, Dong Ping spoke: "Little brother, you are not authentic in this matter. Anyway, you have to come first-come, first-served, right?"

When Trotting Hall heard this, he lost his temper. He secretly shouted to himself, I helped you, why are you not a person inside and out?" But Dong Ping then said: "A few girls, we didn't know that there were guests in this backyard at first, so we had no intention of bothering us. But we had been on the road for several days, hungry and tired, and the in-house was pregnant. It's not as good as this, today's food money for a few girls will be paid for by Zai, and a few girls will also be convenient. ”

Dong Ping said, and heard the woman say lightly: "Since this is the case, then you will wait for my wife to finish the meal, and then you will come again." ”

Hearing this, Leng Piaopiao said: "How long can a meal take, let's wait." ”

"Then come again in an hour. ”

"It takes an hour to eat, is it possible that you think of yourself as a harem lady!" Lin Sanchuan shouted. Dong Ping frowned slightly, this woman is indeed a little difficult.

After Lin Sanchuan said that, the woman said with a gloomy face: "If you don't leave by yourself, then we will help you go." ”

"Well, to be convenient with others is to be convenient with yourself. If you run the hall, you can move another table and put it farther away. The lazy and soft sound from behind the veil stopped the quarrel between the two parties.

Dong Ping smiled: "Thank you, madam." ”

After the veil, there was no sound.

The trotting hall was naturally happy, and he immediately moved tables and chairs over. After Dong Ping and the three sat down, he whispered to the three of them: "After you finish eating, hurry up!"

Lin Sanchuan said angrily: "What's the matter, you don't go to chase them, you come to chase us! Could it be that we didn't give you the silver!"

Trotting Hall sneered: "Heh, can the little silver you give compare with other people's! People can give this number!" With that, Trotting Tang spread out his palms and shook ten fingers in front of Dong Ping.

"Eh!" but in an instant, the trot hall screamed. I saw that Lin Sanchuan was holding his fingers at this time, turning back and forth.

"Uncle, uncle!

"Damn, if you show off your two chicken paws again, Lao Tzu will abolish you!" With that, Lin Sanchuan let go of Trotter's fingers and pushed him aside.

Trotter rubbed his fingers and took two steps back.

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Ten taels of silver, they are very wealthy." ”

"What silver, ten taels of gold!"

Hearing this, Dong Ping was stunned, and Leng Piaopiao grew his mouth in surprise. How much silver can this small shop make in a year, thirty taels of gold, but it is up to the sky.

Dong Ping shook his head and smiled: "Eating in the same world, we can't lose our share, right?" Little brother, what is the best dish you have here?"

"The best dish is fish. Yangtze River anchovies, steamed and braised ones, how to eat them are all a fresh word. It's just a bit more expensive, and it costs ten taels of silver a piece. I haven't been able to sell a few plates at the end of the year, but the guests at that table asked for two at a glance. "Trotting down the hall.

"Okay, then give me ten. ”

When the trotter heard this, his chin fell. Leng Piaopiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, she naturally knew how much family Dong Ping had. When Dong Ping took out the three taels of silver just now, she was taken aback. At this time, he is a hundred taels of silver with a mouth, is it possible that Dong Ping wants to slap a swollen face and become fat for the sake of face? Leng Piaopiao reached under the table and pinched his thigh.

Dong Pingden gasped, but then he smiled at Leng Piaopiao and said, "Isn't it just a few fish? ”

Lin Sanchuan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looking like he had nothing to do with himself. He should be at ease with Dong Ping, maybe Dong Ping has already made a living.

Sure enough, Dong Ping's hand was molded into the sleeve, and he took out a silver ticket and said, "This is two hundred taels." The trotter rubbed his hands together, and tiptoed forward to get the silver ticket. But at this time, Dong Ping pressed the silver ticket and said, "Don't worry, I still have requirements for the fish." ”

"If you want to make it into a flower, the little one will never bring you a tray of grass. ”

Dong Ping smiled and said, "Okay! Tell you, those ten anchovies are to be used for stewing soup, boil all the bones and meat of the ten fish into a bowl of soup for me, and you will serve it to me again." ”

Trotting Hall said with an embarrassed face: "Objective, this method can take effort." ”

"Don't worry, I'll stay here for half an hour, and I'll give you an extra ten taels of silver." With that, Dong Ping took his hand away, and trotted out of the hall and picked up the silver ticket.

"In addition to the fish, give us another table of good wine and food. ”

"The little ones will go to the room and let them arrange it. Immediately, the trotting hall ran out like a gust of wind.

After he left, Leng Piaopiao said in a deep voice: "I don't know where you got this silver from, but I know that you have your own way." But just now, out of vindictiveness, you threw out two hundred taels of silver. You know, we're the ones who get angry, but it's not the store that's benefiting. ”

Dong Ping smiled and said, "I didn't fight with anyone, I just think you should make up for it." Don't say it's ten fish, even if you cook all the fish in the Yangtze River, what's the point?"

"Rhetoric. These days, Leng Piaopiao's most spoken words are these four. But Dong Ping just grabbed her lifeline, making her cry and hate.

Dong Ping glanced at the four women in front of him, and said proudly in his heart: "This son hasn't fallen too much on this." ”
