Xiaobai watched Jiang Liu ride up and rise into the air, and chased after him after a few whines. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Xiaobai, catch up. Lin'er shouted, pointing in the direction of the river.

"She can't catch up, she's so clever, don't worry, she'll come back by herself later." Lu Zhu looked at the empty night sky and comforted Lin'er.

Jiang Liu rode Yoyou up along the Li Shui, I don't know how long I walked, I felt that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was going to rain, so I fell on the path on the bank of Li Shui, and walked forward down-to-earth.

After walking for a while, Jiang Liu suddenly felt that there was a fluffy thing in his arms, and when he looked down, it turned out that Xiaobai had chased after him.

"Your ability is not small, Yoyo travels 18,000 miles at night, you can keep up. Jiang Liu praised.

Xiaobai listened to the smug whining, and there was a high-pitched meaning when he listened.

After walking four or five miles, it began to rain, and the clouds were thick, and the moon was obscured by the clouds, and there was not a single light around. The road was muddy. The sky was thundering and thundering, and the rain was pouring down. Where has Yo Yo ever had such an experience, a flash of lightning scared the mess, Yo Yo screamed. Jiang Liuliu descended the deer, holding the rope in one hand in front and the trembling white fox in the other, and walked forward one foot at a time.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the darkness, looming in the heavy rain, and the river was overjoyed. "There's a house in front of us, and we have a place to hide from the rain. Jiang Liushen approached one foot and one foot shallow, and saw three or two thatched houses, and a high bamboo pole stood in front of the house. A lightning bolt lit up the night sky, and a big wine flag on the bamboo pole was not moving, dripping like a chicken in soup.

There were only two people in the shop, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old lying on the table, her eyes staring at the rain curtain outside the house, not knowing what she was thinking.

There was a vegetable oil lamp lit in the center of the shop, the wick was cut and the light was dim. There was a blurry figure behind the counter, busy.

"Shop, there is ginger tea. Jiang Liu asked tremblingly.

"The shop only sells wine, not tea. The person behind the counter raised his head, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a mustache, and said coldly.

"Then a bowl of wine. Jiang Liu felt that Xiaobai in his arms was shivering from the cold, and thought that he could warm up a little without ginger tea and drink some wine.

After a while, the little girl brought a bowl of wine, the color of which was amber and fragrant. "This is home-brewed rice wine, which is the best way to keep warm from the cold. The little girl moved a vegetable oil lamp to the river.

Jiang Liu quietly stretched out a silver needle and tried the wine in the bowl. The silver needle did not change color, so I was relieved. Since the last time he caught Mrs. Bai Yu twice in the Imperial Treasure Xuan, Jiang Liu has more eyes to eat things outside. This is the same as the silver needle is looking for flowers and shadows, and it is best to test poison.

Jiang Liu took two sips, felt that his body was much warmer, pondered for a moment, and thought of his own amount of wine, so he pushed the bowl down in front of Xiaobai. Xiaobai is not welcome, and he will drink it after a while.

"Shopkeeper, two more bowls of wine. Jiang Liu shouted.

The little girl in the back kitchen of the small shop was boiling water and warm wine, "Daddy, why don't you want to sell ginger tea?"

"Ginger tea is only three cents, and wine costs ten cents. The middle-aged man took his hand to test the temperature of the water in the pot.

"Daddy has no vision, look at that person, leading a white deer, holding a white fox in his arms, hanging a long knife on his waist, and rushing to the night in such a heavy rain, at first glance, he is not an ordinary person, Daddy, you still care about the wine money. The little girl said angrily. "You forgot, a few days ago, Brother Niu was beaten by a passing knife man with a broken leg. ”

"That's good. Her father looked nervous.

"I saw that there was an old ginger in the corner, so I quickly burned ginger tea and sent it over. ”

Her father was busy washing the ginger, cutting it finely, boiling the ginger tea, and letting the little girl bring it to the front.

Xiaobai drank the remaining half of the bowl of rice wine in three sips, and it was not enough to drink it, so he screamed.

Jiang Liu used the Heavenly Demon Strength to steam all the clothes, and took out a piece of cloth to wipe the water on Xiaobai's body.

"Don't scream, the wine will come up in a while. What a hurry. Xiaobai playfully stuck out his tongue and smiled.

"I don't think I'm still a female drunkard. Jiang Liu patted Xiaobai's head.

"Childe, this is the ginger tea you want, as well as rice wine. The little girl took a plate and put a pot of tea and two bowls of wine.

"Didn't you say there was no ginger tea?" Jiang Liu asked differently.

"I found another piece of old ginger just now, so I boiled it and sent it up. The little girl took the plate, and saw that under the lamplight, a man in green clothes had a scar on his face, but he felt that it was not so scary, but it added a bit of heroism.

"Have a question for the girl?" Jiang Liu asked.

"Childe, please speak. ”

"I thought about this Li Shui, and walked to the front of the big water and washed the bridge, so I walked up along the river, where is there a river near here?"

"There is a small bridge thirty miles up from here, which can cross the river, but the road ahead is not easy to walk. The little girl said.

"It's okay, it's not easy to walk, just go slower, I'm not in a hurry. ”

The little girl stopped talking, but finally withdrew.

Xiaobai drank the two bowls of rice wine that came again, Jiang Liu poured her a bowl of ginger tea, and refused to drink it after tasting it.

"I suffered from the wind chill just now, drink some ginger tea to drive away the cold and not get sick. "River Stream.

Xiaobai whined twice, jumped off the table, and disappeared into the dark.

Jiang Liu drank the ginger tea alone, and the ginger tea shop also put brown sugar, which tasted very good, sweet and spicy, and drank it in the stomach. A stream of heat bubbled up. After drinking the second bowl, a layer of fine sweat appeared on my forehead, and I suddenly felt relaxed.

I don't know when the heavy rain outside stopped, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and a crescent moon hung in the western sky, and the stagnant water on the ground shone brightly.

Jiang Liu settled the account, a total of thirty-three Wen. There were not so many copper coins, and a dime of broken silver was given.

"I can't find a small shop, I'm really sorry, so I'll send a lantern to Gongzi to use on the road. The shopkeeper took out a half-worn lantern, dusted it, lit a new candle, and handed it to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu thanked the store, took Youyou by the hand, hugged Xiaobai and went out, walking up the road. After the heavy rain, the weather is exceptionally refreshing, although it has passed the cold dew, there are still insects chirping in the wild. Crickets or other flying insects.

After walking forward for a while, Xiaobai broke free from the river, jumped out with a whoosh, and only saw a vague white shadow. The river is driving Yoyo and marching against the wind. A fox and a deer, one on the ground and one in the sky, chasing and playing. The wind was galloping, I don't know how far I ran, when the river looked up, there was a stone bridge across the big river not far away, and in the night, I couldn't see it really, like a dragon.

Jiang Liu drove Yoyo to the bridge, the bridge is very wide, you can run four or two carriages in parallel, and there is not a pedestrian in the middle of the night.

"Go back, and cross the river from here tomorrow. "The river is scurrying around.
