Chapter 349: The Old Beggar in Brocade Boots
Shen Linfeng felt a little strange, so he asked, "Uncle, is there anything wrong with the southern suburbs?"
The old man scooped cold water into the earthen pot and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I heard from pedestrians who have come and gone in recent days that there are many officers and soldiers on errands near the southern suburbs. ”
"What are the officers and soldiers doing there?"
"You kid, you ask questions that don't really matter. What the officers and soldiers did, how did I, an old man who burns tea, know about it?"
Shen Linfeng grinned, and then picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.
The old man's kung fu of burning the fire glanced at Shen Linfeng.
"I advise you, young man. Where there are officers and soldiers, it is better to go less, so as not to provoke the fire!"
"Yes, yes!" the old woman hurriedly echoed.
"If you want to hunt birds, where can't you hunt? Why do you have to run to the southern suburbs? Even if you do want to go, it's been two days. After all the officers and soldiers have withdrawn, you can hunt as much as you want. ”
Shen Linfeng saw that these two old men were sincere in their words, and they thought about themselves in every word. He was too embarrassed to open his mouth to refuse.
"Thank you, auntie, I see. Later, I'll just hunt a few in the forest in front of me. ”
With a kind smile on the old woman's face, she nodded lightly, and then continued to tinker with the tea bowl in front of her.
The hour was approaching, and Shen Linfeng put down the silver taels. After saying goodbye to the two old men, he continued his journey north.
The road is flat and the scenery is as good as ever.
"Oh, hey, don't let him run......"
"Hurry up, catch him!"
"Ouch, you bunch of shit, you can't even catch a fucking old beggar?"
Shen Linfeng frowned when he heard this, and saw a pavilion standing in a sparse pine forest. Due to the invasion of wind and rain, the plaque in the center of the pavilion has long been blurred.
At this moment, a lavishly decorated carriage was parked beneath the gazebo. And in the pavilion sat a man with a fat head and big ears, this man was richly dressed and wore a jade belt around his waist. He had a horsewhip in his hand, and was waving it for six or seven men to catch a beggar.
Shen Linfeng turned his gaze and saw that the beggar was unkempt and sloppy. His long hair hung down in front of him, making it impossible to see his face at all.
However, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, there was still one thing that caught Shen Linfeng's attention. That's ...... The clothes on this beggar's body.
Although it was stained, the material of the garment was made of fine fabric. There was also the beggar's only cotton shoe, which was an official boot that only court officials could wear.
"Ah......" the beggar let out a loud cry, his voice hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk water in days.
He ran with his head buried in his head, his hair blown high by the wind. It was only at this time that Shen Linfeng saw the true appearance of the beggar in front of him. His mouth was completely covered by a full beard, but the mud on his face could not hide his eyes like tigers and wolves. Shen Linfeng had a hunch that this person's previous identity was definitely not low.
"Hey, hey, hey, little Hanako, what are you looking at?" the fat-headed boy in the pavilion pointed at Shen Linfeng and shouted.
Shen Linfeng didn't want to cause trouble, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, turned his head and left.
"Oh, you little Hanako, you dare to ignore this son!"
The fat boy glanced left and right.
"Someone's coming!"
At this time, the beggar who was running around had also been caught by the other party. The rest of his men heard the cries of the fat boy and hurried to him flatteringly.
"What's the matter with Childe?"
"Go! Grab that little Hanako for my son. ”
Several subordinates looked in the direction of the fat man's finger, and saw Shen Linfeng wearing a coarse linen dress, and at first glance he was an ordinary child. Looking at his thin figure and weak look, these subordinates immediately came to their senses.
"Childe, wait a minute, we'll arrest him for you right away. ”
"Oh, that's verbose...... Hurry up, hurry up!"
Shen Linfeng walked slowly all the way and didn't look back, but the subordinates behind him kept shouting. In desperation, he had to stop. Then he pretended to be innocent and waited for the panting subordinates.
"Okay, you stinky boy, your legs and feet are quite fast!" the speaker put his hands on his knees, and his mouth was "shirring" and gasping.
"Big brothers, what do you call me?" Shen Linfeng said softly, looking very polite.
"It's almost a fucking set, my son-in-law has a ...... please"
Shen Linfeng glanced at the fat man who was beaming proudly.
"The little brother is just an ordinary medicine boy, I don't know what your son-in-law called me?"
"Hey, I said why are you so much nonsense, son, what is he looking for you, how can I know?"
"Don't fuck me, hurry up, hurry up......" another subordinate also hurriedly urged.
Shen Linfeng saw that the fat-headed boy was richly dressed, and his words were full of domineering. Presumably, the family is either rich or expensive, or the son of a family of important ministers of the court. In order to avoid causing trouble, Shen Linfeng had no choice but to swallow his anger and follow them.
Outside the pavilion, Shen Linfeng and the old beggar stood side by side. Behind the two are four guards, and the whole picture is like a prisoner waiting to be executed on the execution ground.
The fat boy slowly stood up from the stone bench, and the fat on his face trembled up and down even when he walked.
The fat-headed boy walked out of the pavilion "trembling", holding a white jade cricket jar in his hand, and the cricket cries were heard from time to time.
"An old beggar, a little beggar!haha......" The fat boy laughed on his back.
Then, he set his eyes on Shen Linfeng.
"Little beggar, let me ask you. What were you just peeking at?"
Before Shen Linfeng could speak, the subordinate behind him waved his hand and slapped him, which hit Shen Linfeng firmly on the back of the head.
"Are you fucking deaf? My son-in-law asked you!" After speaking, he didn't forget to smile at the fat man.
Shen Linfeng's heart gradually became angry, especially the slap just now. If he wasn't afraid of something big, how would he have taken these people in front of him in his eyes?
"Speak, I ask you what you just watched?"
Shen Linfeng bowed and saluted.
"The little one just found an errand to catch a medicine boy in the pharmacy of Nandi City, and today the shopkeeper sent me out of the city to collect medicine. And just now, I saw a wild boar with a very fat physique infesting the woods. So I couldn't help but look at it twice. ”
The fat boy looked shocked.
"There were wild boars in this forest just now?"
"Yes, yes!" Shen Linfeng nodded vigorously.
"Fat head and big ears, and a group of cubs next to him. ”
The fat-headed man glanced at his subordinates in front of him.
"Have you seen that?"
The seven or eight men looked at each other, and they all shook their heads in unison.
