Like all inns, Tongfu inn is neat and clean, and the shopkeeper is even more peaceful, standing at the door to usher in the send-off. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The woman in red and Chunxiang took Geng Jingzhong and the little witch to the Tongfu Inn, and after greeting the shopkeeper, they went straight to their guest room.
The shopkeeper took the reins from Geng Jingzhong's hand and tied the two horses to him.
Chunxiang opened the locked door, everyone rushed in, and the woman in red walked quickly to the bed, took out a package from the pillow, put it on the bed, opened it, and everyone gathered over.
But in addition to a few pieces of clothing inside, the money that the woman in red said turned into several pebbles of different colors, and everyone was shocked!
The face of the woman in red changed from shock to annoyance, and then from annoyance to embarrassment, and changed several times!
Chunxiang reacted even more, pursed her lips, and cried again, "Miss, we were stolen, what can we do!
The woman in red had stabilized her mood at this time, and comforted Chunxiang like a big sister: "Okay, okay, don't cry! It's okay if you don't have money, we won't buy horses, it's a big deal, let's just walk to Kaifeng! Don't worry, I won't sell you if I don't have money!"
At this time, Chunxiang's little face had already cried into a little flower cat, listening to the young lady teasing her, not only was she even more sad, but she muttered in a low voice: "I don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and I have no money, what do we eat? What do we drink?
Everyone laughed when they saw her so cute!
The little witch said to the woman in red, "What is my sister's name? Where did this come from? Where are you going?"
The woman in red replied: "My name is Haitang, I came from Chongqing upstream, and now I want to go to Kaifeng to do some business, our money may be the boat bandits! I'm sorry! We can't buy your horses!"
Seeing that she had misunderstood herself, the little witch hurriedly said, "Miss Begonia, I want to ask you what you are doing in Kaifeng?"
The woman in red looked at the little witch carefully again, and replied, "Do something for your family?"
The little witch said, "Is it important?"
The woman in red said, "Go and save someone!"
When the little witch heard her say this, she looked at Geng Jingzhong and said, "Brother Geng, I will be the master for a while, is it okay?"
Geng Jingzhong didn't know what she was going to do, but he nodded reassuringly and said, "You have the final say!"
The little witch pointed to the two horses outside the door and said, "The two horses belong to you!" Then she took out her waist bag, opened it, and divided the silver ticket inside into two parts, one to Geng Jingzhong and one to the woman in red. Said: "Give you this money too, I hope you can get to Kaifeng as soon as possible and save people." ”
The woman in red was greatly moved, holding a stack of silver tickets, I don't know what to say, but Chunxiang was overjoyed, took the silver tickets from the woman in red, and said a lot of good words to the little witch, fairy, and Bodhisattva. It caused everyone to laugh again.
After laughing, Haitang said to the little witch: "Haven't you asked your benefactor for your name?
The little witch said: "My surname is Mei, you can just call me Sister Mei!"
Haitang said: "I've seen Sister Mei, I don't know where Sister Mei are going!"
The little witch said, "We're going to Dali to do something!"
Haitang said: "Dali is still a long way from here?
The little witch replied, "Yes, so our horses are useless!"
Haitang thanked them again for their kindness of giving horses and money, and the little witch and Geng Jingzhong left the inn and went to the dock to hire a boat.
On the wharf by the Yangtze River, boats and boats are vertical and horizontal, and the crowds are surging, which is very lively.
After some comparison and bargaining, Geng Jingzhong and the little witch finally finalized a passenger ship that was not big or small, and did not share the lease with others for the sake of the little witch's condition.
There are two boatmen on this boat, both of whom are strong men of about 30 years, who sail to and fro on the Yangtze River all the year round, and their skin is tanned to a bronze color.
Geng Jingzhong and the little witch took the red wolf and the Tianshan snow beaver onto the boat, the boatman untied the cable, oared a little shore, and the boat sailed upstream.
Geng Jingzhong and the little witch first enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river at the bow of the boat, and then the river wind became stronger and stronger, and the little witch returned to the cabin, and the Tianshan snow beaver also obediently entered the cabin with her.
Only Geng Jingzhong and the red wolf are left in the bow, the red wolf lies on the board, his eyes are closed and he is recuperating, Geng Jingzhong grew up in the north since he was a child, although he has also seen many big rivers, but those compared with the Yangtze River, it is really not the same day, the Yangtze River is vast and turbulent, the waves are undulating, the green hills on both sides of the river, towering and towering, and the shapes are different. The scenery is also more beautiful and soft than in the north, which makes people never get tired of seeing it.
Geng Jingzhong admired the beautiful scenery and thought about his thoughts, he and the little witch had already walked half the way, which could be described as dangerous, and what kind of difficulties and dangers lay ahead, he didn't know and couldn't predict it, but he had a firm belief, that is, no matter what kind of life and death adversity he experienced, he would find an antidote for the little witch!
The moist river breeze blew on his face, refreshing and refreshing, the sunset had already hidden behind the mountain, Geng Jingzhong did not feel sleepy at all, looking at the cabin, he remembered the acquaintance with the little witch, and the things he had experienced together, what a lot of emotion! What a good girl! If he hadn't accompanied herself, how could he have fallen into the poison of love flowers? He was really to blame for his death! So even if he fought for his own life, he also asked for an antidote to cure the little witch.
Thinking of this, Geng Jingzhong's body was full of strength, and he wanted to ask about how many days it would take to get to Yunnan by water, so he stood up and walked along the strings of the boat to the stern.
As he approached the stern, he suddenly heard two boatmen talking in whispers.
One of them said, "Big brother, these two people are also quite rich, similar to the two girls we met on the way here, how about we? ”
Another human: "It's okay, it's still like last time, God doesn't know, and the ghost unknowingly drops all their treasures, so that they are dumbfounded, dumb to eat yellow lotus, and they can't say anything about their suffering!"
The man said: "Big brother, why don't you just do them all, wouldn't it be more convenient?"
Another said: "You didn't see that man's fierce face, a knife in his waist, at first glance, he is a practitioner, you and I are probably not his opponents, so let's be cautious and never confront him head-on." ”
The man said: "Just listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother, I will act when the boat returns to Longjian in the second half of the night!
When Geng Jingzhong heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, he never expected that he would get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den.
He slowly retreated to the bow of the boat, calmed his mood well, and after thinking about it again, he decided not to tell the little witch the real situation first!
The decision has been made, he walked into the cabin, the little witch was already asleep, he walked to his bed, lay down flat, his right hand took out two flying knives from his waist bag, held them in his palm, and then closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of Huilongjian!
