Chapter 196
In Bai Yuxiao's eyes, a touch of light is just a thief, but there is no need to take his life, if he really says the place where Zhao Qi took Yun Cai'er, what if he touches the light. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Bai Yuxiao said without thinking: "Okay, I promise you, if you tell me where the smoke king Zhao Qi sent that girl, I can let you go." ”
He looked at Bai Yuxiao's eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I will believe you once, Zhao Qi is going to sell that girl to Yihong Courtyard in Yangzhou, if you have done a good job, go after it now, I'm afraid it's still too late." To tell the truth, I can't bear to let that flower-like girl be ruined by those prodigal sons. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "It seems that you still have a good conscience. ”
Yi touched the light and smiled: "If you talk nonsense, then Zhao Qi may be going to Yangzhou now." ”
Bai Yuxiao naturally believed it, because he didn't know when Zhao Qi left, and if he continued to rub it off, that Yun Cai'er might really be sold to Yihong Courtyard.
Bai Yuxiao said: "If that's the case, then I'll have to go first." ”
Seeing Bai Yuxiao rushing out of the house in the blink of an eye, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, you promised me to unlock the acupoint for me." ”
I only heard Bai Yuxiao's voice from outside the house: "After three hours, the acupoint will be naturally unraveled." ”
The last word seemed to come from an ethereal room.
Yiguang said angrily: "I have to wait for three hours!"
As soon as Bai Yuxiao got out of the tea shop, he chased in the direction of Yangzhou, but after chasing for half the night, he did not catch up with the carriage.
The most unfortunate thing is that he doesn't know the way to Yangzhou, if it is during the day, he can ask people, but now at night, he goes to find ghosts to ask for directions, but he is afraid that ghosts are not available.
But Yangzhou is in the east, and Bai Yuxiao has been walking to the east, but at this time the road is separated here, and the road in front is one to the left and one to the right.
Bai Yuxiao stopped at the three-way intersection.
In the choice between going to the left and the right, Bai Yuxiao was distressed, he chose a wild flower on the side of the road, and wanted to decide which way to go by breaking the petals, but I don't know if it was a trick of God, Bai Yuxiao broke two flowers, when one flower was finally broken, his mouth read the left, and when the second flower was broken, his mouth read the right.
Bai Yuxiao said distressedly: "If you are so hesitant, I am afraid that I will not be able to make a decision at dawn." ”
In the end, he chose the fastest and dumbest way.
Bai Yuxiao picked up a stone from the ground, turned his back on the intersection, threw it back, and then turned around to see that the night was dark, and where could he see which stone he threw away.
Bai Yuxiao was helpless, and he took out another copper plate from his pocket.
"Heads go to the right, tails go to the left. ”
With such a decision, he flicked the copper plate in his hand with his thumb, and the copper plate bounced up.
The copper plate flew up to a foot high, and then fell down again, and the white jade flute fell to the eye level of the copper plate, so he took out his hand to support it, and the copper plate lay down on the back of his hand steadily.
Through the moonlight, Bai Yuxiao could see that the copper plate was facing up.
Bai Yuxiao muttered, "Does this mean that I want to go to the right?"
Bai Yuxiao didn't want to waste any more time, so she had to resign everything to fate.
After walking to the right for half an hour, Bai Yuxiao suddenly saw a lantern hanging high in front of him.
Bai Yuxiao knew that there were people in front of him, and someone could ask for directions, so when he thought about it, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
When I got closer, I realized that it was a liquor store.
After experiencing a light tea shop, Bai Yuxiao began to be alert to the tea shop and wine shop on the side of the road, only to feel that the wine shop in front of him was still open at night, but he was afraid that there must be a ghost in it.
Although there are ghosts, Bai Yuxiao eats a lamp and grows wise, and he is confident that he will not make the mistakes of the day again.
Walking into the wine shop, Bai Yuxiao saw a man and a woman in the wine shop at this time, and the woman was holding the child in her arms.
It seems that the man is in his forties, while the woman is still very young.
The liquor store was in shambles, the man was cleaning up, and the woman was sitting on the side holding the child.
With children, this liquor store must not be a shady shop.
As soon as Bai Yuxiao walked into the wine shop, the woman stood up and said with a smile: "But the guest palace wants to drink? ”
After driving for a while, Bai Yuxiao's feet were tired, although he ate a little bit of things in the shop during the day, but he was tied up for a day, and his stomach was already hungry.
At this time, when I watched the woman come up and ask, I felt that the woman was smiling very sweetly, and she didn't look ugly, but Bai Yuxiao didn't want to look at it for too long, for fear that the male boss would misunderstand.
He deliberately went to look at the boss and said, "Okay, if you have wine, come to the bowl." ”
The woman said, "How about cutting some braised cocoons? The beef is still marinated in the morning." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Okay, let's come to beef." ”
The woman said, "But do you want any other snacks?"
Bai Yuxiao said, "Whatever." ”
At this time, Bai Yuxiao, who was hungry, just wanted the wine and food to be served quickly, no matter what the dish was, so the woman smiled sweetly and was busy cutting meat and pouring wine.
It's indeed Zhu Shiqing, but it looks like yellow mud.
The beef has been marinated for at least three days.
Bai Yuxiao still doesn't care, let alone argue.
At this time, he was very hungry, and after sniffing it with his nose, he felt that there was nothing unusual in the wine and food, and began to eat.
But he didn't come to this shop mainly to drink.
He looked at the male boss and said, "It's so late, are you still open?"
The boss didn't speak, because he knew that his wife liked to talk, especially with young, handsome, and suave guests.
When the female boss heard this, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she said angrily: "You say we like it, if it weren't for a group of people who came to the shop to drink during the day, and drank it all the time, we just left not long ago, otherwise we would have closed a long time ago, and now it's okay, the shop is a mess, and I don't know when we will clean it up." ”
Only then did Bai Yuxiao understand, and asked again: "So far during the day, you can see a carriage passing by this road." ”
The landlady said, "There are many carriages passing by on this road every day and night, but I don't know what the guest officer is looking for in that carriage?"
This moment he stopped Bai Yuxiao, and he didn't even see the shadow of the car.
The proprietress blinked and said: "There is a carriage rushing over like a funeral, as if someone has just died in the family, as if rushing back to collect the corpse, the old man who drove the car did not get out of the car, shouted for some wine and food and left, the smell of smoke on the whole body, can smoke people to death, but it is strange tight, the car is very fragrant, presumably there is a girl sitting in the car like a flower and jade." ”
Bai Yuxiao's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, it's that one, I don't know how long it has been?"
The proprietress pondered for a while and said, "It seems to be a black lacquered carriage with two horses, as if there has been more than an hour in the past, and it seems to be more than ......." ”
She smiled and said, "Why don't you sit down and drink first, and I'll think about it later." ”
Thought, that doesn't have to, as long as he knew that the carriage had passed this road, Bai Yuxiao didn't have the heart to sit down and drink.
He left a copper plate behind and walked away.
The reason why he ran fast was because Bai Yuxiao was in a hurry to chase the carriage, and after hearing the proprietress say that it was two horses pulling the cart, Bai Yuxiao knew that he was a lot behind. Of course, there is also one point that there is only one copper plate on Bai Yuxiao's body, and it is really not good-looking if it is rubbed again.
The proprietress looked at the copper plate on the table and scolded angrily: "It turned out to be a white eater?"
The night was dark, and the road became more and more rugged and difficult to decide, as if entering the mountains again.
The forest is so dense that even the starlight and moonlight are not visible.
Bai Yuxiao galloped for more than an hour, but along the way, he didn't even see a shadow of a person, let alone a carriage.
At this time, Bai Yuxiao found that he had made a fatal mistake, that is, he did not ride a horse, no matter how good his light skills were and how deep his internal strength was, but after galloping for several hours, his body was tired, and his feet were fluttering lightly as if he was stepping on the clouds, which was really tiring
Now it's too late to go back and find someone to buy a horse, and the only place on this road where there is anything is the small wine shop I met earlier.
It will take at least an hour and a half to walk back from here.
Bai Yuxiao sighed, and looked at the shadows of the trees that were dark on all sides, yin
Listening to the whirring wind in the distance, the sound of rushing water .......
He felt that he was really out of luck.
But the most unlucky person is of course not him, and Yuncai'er's situation is much more difficult than him.
She wanted to stay by her side and want to protect her, but now she was taken away from her and sold to Yihong Courtyard, which was a great shame for Bai Yuxiao. So he must save Yuncai'er.
Bai Yuxiao touched his nose and smiled bitterly. He suddenly found that he seemed to have grown up, and he no longer wanted to run away from anything.
He was now thirsty and went to the spring to drink.
Moonlight, small bridges, flowing water, people.
This is a very beautiful, very poetic picture.
It's a pity that there is no family, so Bai Yuxiao has no poetry at all now, what he thinks at this time is that there can be a family that can rest for one night, and it is best to get a good horse and raise the spirit to go tomorrow.
He took a few sips of the stream water, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a hut on the hill not far away.
Bai Yuxiao was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to the mountain.
There was a vine flower crawling on the low bamboo field, and the light was still shining through the dim window screen, and there was not only the smell of flowers in the wind, but also the smell of tobacco.
Bai Yuxiao went up and knocked on the door.
It was a short and fat old man who opened the door, he didn't open the door completely, but just hid behind the door and looked Bai Yuxiao up and down, his eyes were like a frightened rabbit.
Bai Yuxiao smiled and said: "I missed the nightstay in the next place, I don't know if I can spend the night at my father-in-law's place, and when I go on the road tomorrow morning, I will be rewarded heavily." ”
This sentence, as if he had heard it from the mouth of a storyteller when he was a child, was actually spoken fluently at the moment, and it seemed to be very effective.
He felt that his memory was really good. This sentence worked, because the door was opened.
This little old man is actually not old, only in his forties. He was a hunter and often took the pheasants and hares he caught to nearby towns in exchange for wine.
Today he happened to catch a few rabbits, so he got a rabbit to drink at night, he drank too much wine, and ate a lot of vegetables, so he called him a woman to scrambled eggs and vegetables.
He smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I drank the wine that I have the courage to open the door, otherwise I would have let strangers in casually." ”
Bai Yuxiao could only listen, only nod.
Orion laughed again: "Although I have nothing of value here, I have a beautiful daughter. ”
Beautiful daughter? Bai Yuxiao has seen a lot of beauties in the Central Plains, the four sisters of the Su family, Yun Luo, Yun Cai'er, Lan Yu'er, Huo Qingqing, and of course, Ma Lanhua, these women are all peerless beauties in his eyes, but I don't know how beautiful this little old man's daughter is?
As soon as you drink too much wine, the pride comes.
Orion's face turned white, and he said loudly: Qiao'er, go and bring that half of the rabbit to drink. ”
There was a voice in the room inside with three points of complaint and seven points of protest: "That half rabbit is not your old man."
Do you have to wait until dinner tomorrow?"
Orion laughed and scolded: "Stingy ghost, don't be afraid that the guests will hear the joke, take it out quickly, you don't have to cut it, we will tear it and eat it." ”
He shook his head again and smiled: "My daughter's name is Qiao'er, everything is good, but she has never seen the world, I am really worried that she will not be able to marry in the future." ”
Bai Yuxiao listened and didn't speak, because he didn't know what to say.
A girl in a thick cloth skirt and no fat powder came out with a bowl and lowered her head.
With a sip, he put the bowl on the table heavily, turned his head and left.
Although Bai Yuxiao didn't dare to look at it more, he couldn't help but glance at it.
The Orion did not brag, his daughter was indeed a very beautiful girl, with long hair and big eyes, but her face seemed to be very pale.
Shy girls are mostly like this.
She didn't dare to see people, and of course she couldn't see the sun.
Bai Yuxiao turned his head, only to find that the Orion was looking at him with burning eyes, as if there was a malicious smile in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "What do you think of my daughter?"
They have already asked. You can't answer if you don't want to.
Bai Yuxiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ling Yuan will definitely be able to get married." ”
Orion said, "If you can't get married."
And you marry her?"
Bai Yuxiao didn't dare to answer, she only hated why she wanted to talk too much.
Orion laughed and said, "It seems that you are an honest man, not as flamboyant as other lads, come, I respect you."
Cup, there aren't many honest lads like you these days. ”
Orion was still drunk in the end, but Bai Yuxiao was not drunk, because Bai Yuxiao didn't drink too much, and now although he is in an ordinary Orion's house, danger is everywhere in the rivers and lakes, but he still has to be careful and keep his head clear, which is more important than anything else.
It's just a hut built in the wilderness, so there aren't many spare rooms.
Bai Yuxiao was arranged to sleep in the timber room, although there was no soft pillow quilt, but it was better than sleeping in a cave in the trees.
"It seems that you are an honest man, and there are not many honest lads like you these days. ”
Bai Yuxiao almost couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
A few hours ago, he had eaten a meal from a roadside wine shop for nothing, and if he was still an honest man, he was afraid that he would feel very wronged when he touched it.
But the honest man is not a bad person after all, this Orion can be regarded as praising him, and Bai Yuxiao naturally enjoys it very much.
Bai Yuxiao smiled and lay down, there was a thick pile of straw in the wood room.
Of course, this kind of family will not have a guest room, so he will have to spend the night on the side of the firewood. In any case, it is better to have a roof in this place than to fall asleep in the open air.
The kind of silence that always carries a bit of desolation in the deep mountains is by no means something that people in the red dust can imagine.
Although the wind rustled the branches, it only added to the silence.
After so many events during the day, on such a bleak and desolate night, lying on the haystack in a stranger's firewood house, how can you call Bai Yuxiao sleep.
He suddenly remembered the story he heard from the storyteller when he was a child: "A young man went to Beijing to take the exam, missed the lodging on the way, and stayed in a house deep in the mountains. The master saw that this young man was dignified, young and promising, and wanted to marry his daughter to him. He also half-pushed and half-pushed, so he became a kiss that night. The next morning he realized that he was sleeping in a grave, and the bride beside him had turned into a pile of white bones, but he still wore the jade bracelet he had given him on his wrist. ”
Bai Yuxiao has always found this story very interesting, but now he suddenly feels that it is not very interesting. The wind was still blowing outside, and the leaves were still rustling.
How can there be such a family in such a deep mountain?
"Tomorrow morning, when I wake up, will I also lie in a mass grave?"
Of course not, that's just an absurd story.
Bai Yuxiao smiled again, but for some reason, he still felt a little cold on his back.
Fortunately, Orion did not force his daughter to marry him, otherwise he would have fled at this moment.
The wind was stronger, and it creaked at the door.
The moonlight shone in through the window, pale as the face of the first lady.
Bai Yuxiao only felt that sleeping in the house was not steady, so he wanted to go to the roof to sleep more happily.
Bai Yuxiao stood up quietly, quietly pushed open the door, and quietly closed the door.
He walked out into the courtyard, where the Orion's family seemed to be asleep and unlit.
Bai Yuxiao likes to lie on the roof, he jumps on the roof and looks at the stars in the sky, it is still the old way, counting the stars may make Bai Yuxiao fall asleep faster.
I don't know how many I counted, but Bai Yuxiao's method of counting stars began to have some effect, and his eyelids became heavy.
But he was alert again, for his nose was sensitive and he smelled a familiar smell.
It was a strong and spicy smell of tobacco, and he would never forget it even if he was killed, and this smell of smoke was exactly what he smelled from Zhao Qi, the king of cigarettes.
He was sure that the smell of smoke was coming from the house.
Listening closely, he could hear what seemed to be movement in the room.
I saw a short man come out of the house, and Bai Yuxiao knew that it was Orion.
"Isn't he drunk?" Bai Yuxiao was secretly surprised, he wanted to see what the hunter would do.
I saw that the hunter swept to the door of the timber room like lightning, and did not make a sound, but stood for a while and then swept back into the house like lightning.
The body is agile, and he has learned martial arts.
