Chapter 302: Tricked
"That's good. ”
In fact, Xu Jinyu just wanted to ask this, now she doesn't remember the past, and the distinction between good and evil is only good and bad. Lying down again, this time quickly falling asleep.
After Lan Ting had fed the horses, he went to the kitchen to prepare something delicious. Since going to Liangxi, I have experienced too many dangers, and I finally returned to Yangzhou, and I can finally relax, and I must make a few more good dishes to treat myself.
Of course, it's also to change the taste of the child.,I'm thinking about what to do at night.。 Qi Chu walked in, he didn't have to guess and knew that Lan Ting must be in the kitchen.
"Don't be in a hurry to cook first, you can do something for me. ”
"What's so urgent, can't you do it tomorrow?"
I was just ready to relax, but I didn't expect that Childe had another task, so I was still a little reluctant to go.
"The stakes are high, and you have to go today. Qi Chu patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You go to the Passing Water Villa to find out if Shi Ziyu has come back, remember not to reveal your identity." ”
Qi Chu guessed that Shi Ziyu's departure after receiving the letter from the Passing Water Villa should be a strategy used by the enemy to divert the tiger from the mountain, and this was later confirmed from Yu Danya's words. So is it really the letter that Shi Ziyu received from the Lost Water Villa? If not, he must have already encountered danger.
Lan Ting put down the kitchen knife in his hand and wiped his hands. Shi Ziyu is their friend, and now that his friend is in trouble, he naturally has to come forward. But he still stretched out a hand and said, "Childe, I have no money." ”
All the money on his body has been given to Qin Zhaoniao, and all the money spent is Qi Chu along the way. I haven't found a chance to ask Childe yet, but now is the best time.
Qi Chu smiled: "You, don't suffer at any time." He gave Lan Ting all the money on his body, and urged: "Go quickly, pay attention to safety." ”
"Don't worry, Childe is waiting for my news. He took the silver and ran away.
Walking on the street, Lan Ting pondered that if he couldn't reveal his identity, he would definitely have to find someone to help him go to the Passing Water Villa to inquire about the news. He doesn't know anyone else in Yangzhou, who is he looking for?
Suddenly, I saw a beggar begging on the side of the road, and immediately thought of a way.
Lan Ting walked up to the beggar, took out a piece of silver and shook it in front of his eyes, "Do you want it?"
The beggar showed greedy eyes and flattered, "I want it." ”
Lan Ting smiled: "You do something for the master, this silver is yours." ”
"Okay, what's the matter, master?" the beggar took the silver and bit it with a greedy look.
"You know, you go to the door and inquire, and ask if Miss Shi is in the mansion. ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go. The beggar didn't even want the broken bowl and stick he was begging for, and ran in the direction of the Lost Water Villa.
Lan Ting now has martial arts, and he follows him steadily.
When I arrived at the gate of the Dead Water Villa, there were two guards at the door, with swords on their waists, but they were shivering from the cold.
Lan Ting watched from a short distance as the beggar walked up. He listened attentively, only to hear the beggar and the two guards say, "There is a hooligan boy over there who has crooked thoughts about Miss Shi, and the two eldest brothers should go and teach him a lesson." ”
Didn't you betray me? Lan Ting didn't expect the beggar to take his money and dare to frame him in turn.
Seeing the guard draw his sword and run towards him, Lan Ting had a wind under his feet and immediately fled.
scolded as he walked: "This turtle grandson dares to betray the master, if it weren't for the master, I would be in a hurry to do something, I would have to teach you a lesson." ”
The first time he failed, the next time he was cautious. It seems that you can't find beggars begging along the streets, these people are too unreliable.
Walking down the street, Lan Ting also figured it out. In Yangzhou, the Lost Water Villa has one of the best status, and the common people have long regarded the people of the Shi family as gods. If they want to inquire about the news of the Passing Water Villa, it is normal for them to be reported. After all, it is simply impossible for a monk to admit that the Buddha is a liar.
It seems that this time we have to find outsiders, and only those who don't know about Dead Water Villa can complete this task.
Lan Ting still pinned his hopes on these beggars, who were starving, and it was obviously easier to do anything for money. After walking a few streets, he found a young girl in front of him who had sold herself to bury her father.
In the ice and snow, she wore very little, and her small hands were red from the cold. There was no one on the street, but she still shouted hoarsely, "Sell yourself to bury your father, just one or two." ”
Lan Ting has always been sympathetic to the weak, and walked up quickly. After inquiry, I learned that the girl's surname was Zhang, and she and her father came to Yangzhou to do business. But the world is not good, I lost all my money in business, and my father became seriously ill again, and he died of illness.
"Hey, you're hard enough, you have this money. Lan Ting took out some silver and stuffed it into the girl, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind. This girl fully meets her own requirements, and she really has nowhere to find her iron shoes.
Then he asked, "Girl, do you know about the Dead Water Villa?"
The girl looked puzzled and asked, "Whose villa is it?"
When Lan Ting heard that she didn't know, she was secretly happy in her heart, but she said quietly: "Can the girl do me a small favor?" When the matter is done, I will give you a hundred taels of silver. ”
When the girl heard this, she immediately nodded, knowing that a hundred taels of silver was a shocking number in the eyes of these poor people.
Lan Ting said again: "Girl, I'll find someone to help you carry your father to the coffin shop first." Then I'll take you to Dead Water Villa. ”
"I don't need to find someone, I can go by myself, and we won't go to the coffin shop. These words came from the mouth of a corpse lying on the ground.
Lan Ting was so frightened that he jumped away, "Mom, it's a corpse!"
The girl hid her face and smiled, helped her father to stand up, and said, "Son, don't blame, I lost all my money in business, so I can only make a plan to raise some money for the journey back home." ”
Lan Ting realized that the father and daughter were pretending, no wonder they had been kneeling here for a day and no one had helped. It is very likely that well-wishers have been deceived into giving money, and it seems that they have been calculated again this time.
The girl came over and said, "I don't know how the little girl can help?"
Lan Ting waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't use it now." ”
Compared with the beggar just now, this father and daughter's method of deceiving people is more clever, but it is difficult for them in the ice and snow. Lan Ting also knew that it was not easy to live now, and he was not short of silver, so he should give them alms.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the girl grabbed his sleeve and said, "Childe, how about helping first and then paying?"
I finally met a big business, and no one wanted to give up.
Lan Ting said in his heart, you are still really persevering. But since people said that they could help first and pay later, they didn't have anything to worry about.
"Okay, you come with me, your father stays!"
