Chapter 6: The Crazy Beggar
Putting the wooden box on the table, Bai Hong drew his sword out of its sheath and wanted to cut off the lock on the box. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info only heard a "click", Bai Hong split the table in half, and did not cut the lock.
It's not that he cut it off, but the wooden box ran away, and it should be said that Bai Yuxiao took it away.
Bai Hong and Lan Ying were taken aback, and Lan Ying said, "Brother Yuxiao, you weren't drunk?"
Bai Yuxiao smiled: "I'm drunk, don't you miss the scene just now." ”
Bai Hong said: "Why did the little brother say this?"
Bai Yuxiao said: "Why did you move my wooden box. ”
Lan Ying smiled: "I'm afraid that Brother Yu Xiao has misunderstood, we thought you were drunk, so we wanted to keep it for you." ”
Bai Yuxiao smiled: "Don't pretend, I know it very well." After you beat me and came out of the marshal's palace, you followed me all the way here. And then pretend to drink with me, and after trying to get me drunk, take my box, right?"
After listening to him, Bai Hong understood: "It turns out that you have always known that we are following you. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Of course." Now I guess you're two male and female thieves who were going to the Marshal's Mansion to steal something, and then they set their sights on my box, right?"
Bai Hong said: "What a male and female thief, my husband and wife are famous mandarin duck heroes in the rivers and lakes. Today, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses who went to assassinate Meng Yuan, Boyan, did he know that those Mongols were scheming, especially the county lord of Yunluo, I heard that many chivalrous warriors wanted to assassinate Boyan, and they all fell into her trap. This afternoon, my husband and wife just entered the house to assassinate, but somehow she found out, fortunately I escaped in time, otherwise I am afraid that I will also become a ghost, although it did not work out once, we planned to act again at night, who knew that I saw you come out of the window with a wooden box, we thought that the lord of Yunluo County must have some conspiracy, so we chased you all the way here. ”
Listening to Bai Hong's words, Bai Yuxiao didn't feel funny, if he said that the person found by the county lord of Yunluo was himself, I don't know what the faces of his husband and wife were.
Lan Ying pulled out his sword and said: "Little brother, through getting along just now, I can feel that you are actually not too bad, as long as you don't be the eagle dog of the Mongols, hand over the wooden box to us." We'll let you go, and if you're stubborn, we'll have to kill you. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "I, Bai Yuxiao, didn't work for the Mongols, I was just entrusted by someone to send the wooden box to Wen Shijie and Wen Daxia, and I can't give it to the two." ”
Bai Hong asked anxiously, "Wen Daxia, do you know what is in the box?"
Bai Yuxiao patted the box, wanting to deceive the mandarin duck shuangxia, so he smiled and said: "Actually, what is in it is just a piano, but it has caused you to take the trouble to snatch it." ”
Bai Hong said: "That's impossible, this box weighs about 100 catties, how can there be only one piano, have you opened it, little brother?"
Bai Yuxiao sighed and said, "I haven't seen this, but the person who entrusted it said that it was a piano made of gold." ”
When these words were spoken, Bai Yuxiao couldn't help but think of Yun Luo's appearance in his mind, in fact, he didn't know why he believed that this was a knife, although he had been deceived by her many times.
Lan Ying said: "The Mongolians want to send the piano to Wen Daxia, but I am afraid that the weasel will give the chicken a New Year's greeting, and I am not happy, little brother, since you said that you are not a subordinate of the Mongols, give me the wooden box." ”
Bai Yuxiao shook his head and said: "No, I promised the person entrusted that before the box was delivered to Wen Daxia, I would not let anyone open the box, including myself." ”
Bai Hong said: "It's a shame that my husband and wife have wasted so much persuasion, since the little brother is still obsessed, the two of us have no choice but to do it." ”
Bai Yuxiao saw two sword lights, attacking him, he hurriedly dodged, but he could dodge, and the tip of the sword cut through his clothes.
Bai Yuxiao was secretly surprised by the two of them with strong swordsmanship, but he felt that they insisted on taking this wooden box, but they didn't look like bad people. If the fight continues, it will inevitably be endless, because I don't want to fight these two people. But listening to what they just said, he knew that it would be difficult for him not to do it if he didn't hand over the box in his hand.
Of course, if he wanted to, he couldn't stop him. He was by the window, and as he spoke to them, he had already figured out his escape plan.
I saw Bai Yuxiao dodge the two swords that attacked again, kicked the stool at Bai Hong and Lan Ying with his foot, jumped out of the window with the wooden box, landed on the street, and ran wildly in the quiet and dark alley.
He didn't know how many streets he had run, but he knew he had dumped the couple.
Stopped in an alley that was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. Maybe I'm too tired today, maybe I drank too much wine just now, leaning against the wall, Bai Yuxiao's eyelids are a little heavy, and I want to sit down and rest for a while.
He sat on the ground, but felt very comfortable sitting on a ball of cotton.
I only heard someone next to him say weakly: "Do you think you are sitting very comfortable?" ”
Bai Yuxiao's eyelids were already fighting, half-asleep, and said with a smile: "Yes, do you think so too? The ground here is really strange, soft, and elastic. ”
The man yelled, "Get up for me!"
This roar was like a thunderbolt exploding in his ears, which frightened Bai Yuxiao to jump up three feet high, and he didn't feel sleepy.
I only heard the man cough a few times, and said, "I almost overwhelmed the beggar." ”
When Bai Yuxiao heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and took out the fire fold from his arms, and the firelight illuminated the ground, and sure enough, there was a beggar in ragged clothes sitting on the ground.
Bai Yuxiao was full of apologies and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be someone here." ”
The beggar ignored him, straightened his breath, lay down and went back to sleep, and after a while he snored like thunder, which seemed to tell others that someone was sleeping on the ground.
Bai Yuxiao smiled, sat on the ground again, extinguished the fire, and sat quietly. Thinking about my mother who was far away, I wanted to sit next to my mother and tell her about my experience in the past few days. But what I thought about the most was a vague shadow.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously.
When he awoke he found that it was dawn, and the beggar from last night was sitting watching him, laughing.
Only then did Bai Yuxiao see his appearance clearly, he looked about thirty years old, he looked very thin, his hair was unkempt, spread in all directions, his face was very dirty, no, his whole body was dirty anyway. Dressed in tattered clothes.
Bai Yuxiao said: "Why are you looking at me like this." ”
The beggar said, "Because it's fun." ”
Only then did Bai Yuxiao realize that his hands were empty, and the wooden box he slept in last night was gone.
Bai Yuxiao was like an ant on a hot pot, and said hurriedly: "What about the box, have you seen it?"
The beggar laughed and said, "Is it a box that is as tall as someone and still very heavy?"
Bai Yuxiao said happily: "That's right, where is it." ”
The beggar said, "Go, I'll take you." ”
Bai Yuxiao followed the beggar, and after a while, he came to the street, and after walking for a while, the beggar stopped and said, "Go in." ”
Bai Yuxiao stopped and looked up to see that they were standing in front of a tavern, with a tall wooden pole next to it and a lantern hanging from it, but it was the same place where he had been drinking last night.
Bai Yuxiao asked, "You mean the person who took my things is in this tavern." ”
The beggar nodded, and the two walked in together.
At this time, it was still early, where was there anyone in the store, Bai Yuxiao ran to the second floor to see it, and ran to the first floor, where the beggar had already found a table and sat down.
Bai Yuxiao said: "There is not a single guest, where is the person you are talking about?"
The beggar pointed to himself and said, "Am I not a guest now?"
Bai Yuxiao said, "You?" He couldn't believe that the beggar's body could pick up the box.
The beggar laughed and said, "That's right, it's me." ”
Bai Yuxiao was angry, and grabbed his hand and twisted it, causing the beggar ghost to cry wolf.
Bai Yuxiao said: "Say it quickly, otherwise you won't even be able to ask for food." ”
The beggar screamed, "Let go of your hand, and have something to say." ”
Bai Yuxiao let go of his hand, he thought that this beggar should know some martial arts, but he found that he was just an ordinary beggar.
The beggar rubbed his hands and wailed, "I didn't think you had so much strength that it hurt to death." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "If you don't say anything, I'll break your legs." ”
The beggar smiled again and said, "Don't worry, you know that I took it, what are you in a hurry." Aren't you hungry when you're full?"
Bai Yuxiao was a little hungry, and thought to himself, that beggar didn't know martial arts, how could he escape from his palm, and sat down.
The beggar called the bartender to order some food, and the bartender looked at the beggar suspiciously to see if he had any money. But when he saw Bai Yuxiao's eyes, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, thinking of the couple who drank with him last night, half of his swollen face didn't feel pain, and he hurriedly brought the dishes.
The beggar came to the yang world like a starving ghost, only to see that Bai Yuxiao had only drunk a few glasses of wine, and the two catties of beef, a chicken, and a fish on the table were all bones.
Bai Yuxiao shook his head, and asked for a pound of beef to drink, and the beggar patted his stomach and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to eat so much, and you can still eat it." ”
Bai Yuxiao was helpless, he just drank a few glasses of wine, when did he move the chopsticks.
The two of them had eaten and drunk enough, paid the bill, and Bai Yuxiao asked, "Can you take me there now?" ”
The beggar smiled and said, "Don't worry, you see I haven't taken a bath for a few months, let's go to the bathhouse and take a shower." ”
Bai Yuxiao hadn't taken a bath for a few days, and he only smelled a sour smell, and he didn't know if it was from himself or the beggar.
But tomorrow I will go to Guiyunzhuang to see the famous Wen Daxia in the martial arts, and I can't be rude.
The two came to the bathhouse, and Bai Yuxiao didn't plan to share a bath with the beggar.
Bai Yuxiao asked the bathhouse guy to buy white clothes, and also bought clothes for the beggar.
After the two walked out of the bathhouse, Bai Yuxiao felt refreshed, and shook off the fatigue of the past few days.
Bai Yuxiao looked at the beggar, but he no longer regarded the person in front of him as a beggar in his heart. After washing off the dirt on his face, he looked like a man with a jade tree in the wind.
Bai Yuxiao said: "People want clothes, it really makes sense, if you put on another clothes, how can you still have a bit of beggar taste."
When he said this, he only heard the sound of "la", and the beggar tore his clothes like wicker, and wiped some dust on his clothes, and turned into a dirty beggar again.
