Chapter 2: Drunken Trouble
The two rode out of the capital on horseback and started their first independent dart journey. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The dart is not big, the size of a book. It should also be something like a book to the touch, an account book or a martial arts cheat book or something, which is tightly wrapped, and sealed to prevent it from being opened secretly. But it's not big, so you can just throw it in your arms.
Such a relaxing thing is destined for the two of them to go very easily on this trip. They had already discussed it, and this time they would take the dumb dart. Anyway, no one knows them on the road, and there is no need to make a name for themselves. Just treat it as an ordinary knight who goes to Jinan Mansion to play, and you can complete tasks and make money by traveling all the way, killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, neither of them has been to Jinan Mansion, not to mention how pitted the map is in this era, when Liu Ping'an deliberately went to the bookstore to buy the map, but turned it over and over again and couldn't understand. However, one thing can be confirmed is that Jinan Mansion is in the south, the capital is in the north, along the official road all the way to the south while walking and asking, the main fork on the sign can be identified.
So the two rode for a day, and the next day at noon they arrived at a small town.
The mustache looked around and wanted to find a bigger restaurant to eat, and last night in order to save some money to live in a small roadside shop, but because of the bad business, the food in the store was hoarded and moldy, and there was a strange smell when I ate it. The mustache vows to find a bigger restaurant today.
The town is not big, just a larger street, the shops inside are clear at a glance, and the biggest sign is definitely the best restaurant, although compared with the capital, they are all small country shops.
The two walked in directly, but because of the financial problem of the six taels of silver, they had already developed a habit of asking the price first when they entered the store in the past two days.
"Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to have a dish here?" asked Liu Ping'an with a little embarrassment.
The shopkeeper was a little surprised, he didn't see the advanced restaurant and asked the price, but the person who came was a guest, and it was better to ask clearly than those who couldn't afford to pay for the meal after eating. So he also replied with a smile: "Our restaurant operates in good faith, with 35 wen for meat and 20 wen for vegetarian food." ”
Liu Ping'an secretly thought: "It turns out that the standard set by the dart bureau for us is to eat vegetables at every meal, which is green and environmentally friendly, and is good for health. However, the price of this restaurant was acceptable, so the two of them happily entered after handing over the horse to Xiao Er. In the end, he still didn't dare to be too extravagant, and the mustache only ordered a plate of stuffy chicken, and then brought a small vegetable, and he didn't dare to order wine.
However, although the two of them ate very plainly, they cooperated with the weapons they were carrying and rode horses. It is obviously different from the surrounding residents who are slow and leisurely, and they look like they are walking in the rivers and lakes.
"Well, when will we be able to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl!" lamented the mustache.
Liu Ping'an is now accustomed to such a poor life, and said while eating a piece of chicken: "It's okay now, as long as you are willing to have a treat, you can spend all the twenty taels when the time comes." ”
"I don't know if there are twenty taels. The mustache said depressedly, "But I still want to work in the Four Seas Dart Bureau for two years and save some money to marry a mother-in-law." Not only did I not save a penny this year, but I also lost 20 taels. ”
As he spoke, he added: "From today onwards, I will work hard to earn money and strive to save a wife at the end of the year!"
Liu Ping'an glanced at him with disdain and didn't say anything. It's rare to see the mustache so sentimental again, so don't hit him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the mustache to say mysteriously: "Second brother, tell you, I have found a shortcut to get rich." ”
Liu Ping'an was a little surprised, and asked cooperatively, "What shortcut?"
"Do you remember, the last time we were in the winning casino, I won more than five taels of silver at once! If I go twenty times a month, then I will immediately be a person with a monthly income of hundreds of taels.
Liu Ping'an took a bite of the dish and said lightly: "In fact, there is a simpler way, that is, if you don't run after you go out of the thousand, your monthly income will be higher." ”
"How?" asked the mustache eagerly.
"Catch them, break your leg and sue the government to claim five hundred taels, then you will be a person with a monthly income of five hundred taels!"
At this time, they suddenly heard screams in the restaurant, and both of them turned their heads to look. It was a somewhat obscene drunken man who burped and grabbed the wrist of a female guest at a table next door, and the female guest screamed "ah".
The man was still muttering flirtatious words. The mustache looked at this scene with a smile, but asked Liu Ping'an in his mouth: "The opportunity to do chivalry and righteousness is coming, when do you think we will have the best effect?"
"Wait, this woman has companions. ”
Sure enough, there was a sound of "pop", but it was the male companion at the same table who slapped the drunk man on the shoulder: "The dog's eyes are bright, and the woman's master is also something you can provoke?"
The drunk man let go of his hand, but he was still a little stiff-mouthed, and muttered: "Women, there are a lot of pieces of meat to touch, what does it matter......" At this time, he saw the other party standing up, with a sword hanging on his body, and immediately said again: "It's related, it's related, I won't touch it, you touch it." ”
The man was furious, took his sword and pointed it at the drunken man's chest. However, the sword is not unsheathed, and there is still a lot of leeway. At this moment, four or five more men came beside the two, one pulling the drunkard, and the other pulling the man's hand holding the sword.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother drank too much, can't I compensate you!" several people said in unison that the man and his female companion were not. The man is obviously a little thin-skinned, and he is in a dilemma as soon as he apologizes, and he wants to be angry but it is inconvenient to have a seizure, and the other party is obviously a drunk person, and it is not worth being angry.
But the woman was not afraid at this time, and reached out and slapped the drunk man in the face.
The drunk man looked at her in a daze. However, the person next to him was a burst of "sorry" apologies, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, and a storm stopped in the "enthusiastic" apology of these people.
Watching a few people drag the drunk out of the door, the mustache still looked regretful: "It's a pity, otherwise you can still promote the righteousness of martial arts, I didn't think it was just a drunk making trouble." ”
I didn't think that the two of them had eaten two bites before they heard the woman shouting, "My package has been taken away!
When the man and the woman found out, they quickly wanted to run out to chase them, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper and delayed for a while, and they rushed out of the door after paying for the meal.
Sure enough, it was a good show, I thought it was a drunk man molesting a woman from a good family, but it stopped in an apology, but in the end it turned out to be a novel theft.
The mustache sighed: "Sure enough, walking in the rivers and lakes can't be prevented!"
Liu Ping'an also touched his coat, the dart was still inside, and it would be miserable if he was led by the sheep like this.
