However, he said that more than 20 people dressed in rivers and lakes entered the courtyard of the farmhouse, and when they looked around, they saw that the courtyard was empty, so they came forward and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

No one answered even a few calls, one by one of them held steel knives, and one of them opened the door and shouted, "Is there anyone?"

At this moment, an old man of seventy or eighty years old came out of the house, with a cane in his hand, his hair unkempt, his face was black, he coughed a few times, and walked out tremblingly, without looking at these people, and said, "Where are there people and horses? Let me see? The old man is seventy-eight this year, and he has never seen a man or a horse!"

As he spoke, he was about to go out, but was stopped by a man from the rivers and lakes and said, "Old man, is this your home?"

After listening with his ears sideways, the old man said, "What? Good people? In the wilderness of mine, there are just a few broken houses to shelter from the wind and rain, where can I be considered a good family!"

This group of Jianghu people realized that this was a deaf old man, shook his head, and asked loudly, "Has a carriage passed by your house in the past few days?"

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "The carriage has come, they have drunk tea here, and they have given me a piece of silver and left." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The Jianghu people finally asked the question and said loudly, "How long have they been gone?"

The old man squinted his eyes and listened carefully, and replied, "How many houses are there that I asked?" The officials are laughing, I am an old man, I have no children, and the three houses are about to collapse!"

The Jianghu people shook their heads again and again, raised their voices again, and asked loudly, "How long has the carriage been gone?"

The old man listened carefully, listened hard, and then said, "Do you want to eat before leaving?" It's not that the old man is reluctant, you see that my legs and feet are inconvenient, then you can take care of yourself, there is only a small bag of rice in the back room, it seems that you are also hungry, just make do with it!"

The old man's deafness was very serious, and the answer was not what he asked, and a Jianghu man said, "Forget it, they haven't gone far, let's look for it slowly!"

Another Jianghu person said angrily, "This surnamed Lu, I don't know what trick he is playing, we chased all the way, from the west of the city to the tea shed, then to the gambling market, and now to this wild farmhouse, turning a circle, what is his kid going to do?"

No one spoke, and a Jianghu man said, "It doesn't matter what it shouldn't be, we just need to visit all the way and report truthfully, what's the point of you asking so much?" ”

The old man coughed and shouted, "Don't you want to cook and eat? Why did you leave?"

How can the people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to this bad old man, hurriedly left, looking at the group of people in the rivers and lakes to see from afar, the old man closed the door, put down his crutches, slowly stood up straight, and straightened his unkempt hair, where is he an old farmer, he is clearly a commonplace star, he smiled proudly, today is really too much, first became the God of Wealth, and then became a deaf old man.

He remembered the real old man, and hurriedly tidied up the room, put a silver ingot on the table, hurried out the back door, and disappeared into the dense woods.

Sikong picks stars through the dense woods, like an agile wild monkey, shuttling through the forest, heading straight for Jinling.

The noisy and prosperous Jinling City is still like this, the traffic is busy, bustling, lively, they are shouting and selling, rushing to the road, each with their own things busy, Sikong picked the stars to come to the small vendor stall opposite the Yamen, asked for a bowl of somen noodles, while eating, while peeking at everything around.

In front of the yamen is still as solemn as before, the two stone lions are full of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, there are more than 20 officials who guard the door in front of the door, Sikong picks the stars and looks seriously, carefully, after eating the noodles, at this time, a carriage creaked over, yes, it was the carriage that Lu Xiaofeng drove, the carriage just arrived in front of the vendor stall, the old man hurriedly stopped, ran off the carriage like a mouse, and disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing this, Sikong picked the stars, and hurriedly took out a star of broken silver from his arms, and slapped the horse's buttocks impartially, and the carriage almost didn't stop, and went directly to the yamen.

The gatekeeper looked at the carriage and shouted, "Hey, how can you catch the carriage, how can you get to the gate of the yamen?"

They shouted human words, Marco could not understand human words, there was no silence for a long time, the gatekeeper stepped forward, looked at the horses, and then looked at the carriage, only to see that there was no one inside, and looked around, there was no one, how could there be idle people staying here in the land of the yamen? Then he shouted at the top of his voice, "Whose horse, how did you get here?" Why don't you hurry away?"

But no one replied, and the gatekeeper shouted again, "Who drove the carriage, how did you get to the yamen?"

No matter how he shouted, no one spoke, the gatekeeper looked around again, no one replied, and the passers-by saw that the empty carriage had run to the gate of the yamen, disturbing the officials, and they all slowly gathered together to see that the excitement was coming.

"It seems that this carriage also wants to be an official for a few days, so why don't you leave when you get to the yamen?"

"It may be that the carriage has some grievances and wants to sue!"

......

The people passing by were talking and pointing, how did the official who guarded the door shout, but no one stepped forward to claim the empty carriage, and the other official saw that there were many onlookers, and stepped forward and said to the previous official, "Since there is no one to claim it, let's rush to the yamen, and go and report to the lord." ”

An official messenger walked into the yamen to report to Lord Sun, and another official messenger drove the carriage and walked towards the gate, and an official messenger shouted in a thick voice, "It's all gone, what's so beautiful, let's keep the carriage first, and when the master comes to find it, we will return it to him, go and go, what should we do!"

After he had dispersed them all, he returned to the stately stone lion and continued his gatekeeper skills.

Sikong Xingxing also finished eating the big bowl of somen noodles, put down the broken silver, and went straight to the Mengle Inn.

Mengle Inn is also called Mengle Inn, but because of the case of Zhu Xiaotian and Yu Wenwen, the Ninety-Nine Double Yang Turmoil, this place has long been a matter of people and has long changed hands.

Sikong Xingxing walked in, went directly to the shopkeeper, and said, "Shopkeeper, I want two rooms!"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged young man, very clever, and when he saw Sikong picking stars and coming to book a room, he hurriedly bent down and said with a smile, "Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment." He looked at the room card and said, "How about the two rooms on the second floor? ”

Sikong Xingxing looked at it and said, "No, I want the two easternmost rooms on the third floor to stand tall so that I can see far." ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "The guest officer is really a good eye, at first glance, he is a person who often runs outside the rivers and lakes, and at a glance, he can see that this is the best room in our Mengle Inn, the air is fresh on it, and the whole Jinling is in full view......"

Sikong Xingxing understands that this businessman has a set of businessmen, and each of his rooms is a treasure, and it is the best, to put it mildly, it is a matter of silver, only to see him take out a silver ingot from his arms, which is as much as ten taels, "click" on the table, and said, "Isn't what you said about money, do you see if it is enough, I will live for a month." ”

When the shopkeeper saw the white silver, he almost knelt down, and said with a smile, "Enough, enough, enough," and then turned around and shouted, "Little Er, take the guest officer to the third floor Jiazi three and four rooms." ”

"Okay!" the little second brother staggered to him, took the key, and took Sikong to pick up the stars upstairs.

Sikong picked up the stars and went to the room, opened the window to look, closed it with satisfaction, and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll call you if there's something, don't call me if you're okay, I want to rest." ”

The shopkeeper resignedly nodded a little bit, closed the door and left, and the tired Sikong Xingxing closed the door and fell asleep on the bed.

But I don't know why he went to the Mengle Inn, why one person wants two rooms, if you want to know what happens next, please see the next breakdown! )
