Chapter 9 The Strange Change of Ruby
The windows in the house were wide open, and the children's laughter and playfulness were heard, and they were going to leave today to wash their faces and rinse their mouths and prepare for dinner.
The dog also staggered out of the hut, and his trouser belt was not fastened, and said, "You eat slowly, wolf cubs, I haven't eaten that yet."
The three of them were eating steamed buns in one hand, chewing slowly with a meatloaf in one hand, and the other holding a handful of fritters, all of them looked back at the dog's ball.
He was stunned for a moment, then frantically stuffed it into his mouth.
"Are you still human," the dog yelled angrily and frantically pounced on the dining table.
After the meal, the four of them sorted out everything and went out, with the stones on their backs, the bamboo box, the dog egg, Erwang and Xiaochai all carrying small burdens and standing outside the post station door waiting.
The convoy of horses was lined up on the post road, and Erwang looked at the long convoy blankly and said to himself: "How do you feel that there are so many carriages, is it the convoy when we came?"
A bent and thin old man wearing an iron hat walked slowly and said with a smile, "Hahaha, the dolls are coming, let's get in the car and leave immediately"
The four children immediately followed the iron hat old man into a carriage with two horses and reins, as soon as they entered, it was called spacious, there was a blanket of animal skin under the car, and just sat down to see the dart master on horseback on the carriage with the flag of the Zheng family's firm, the flag fluttering, looking at the red flag in front of the front from the front to the back, the yellow flag in the middle, and the blue flag at the end.
"Iron hat old, iron hat old this time there are a lot more carriages, the flags are different, what's going on" Shi Zi asked the iron hat old curiously.
The four children immediately surrounded the old man in the iron hat.
"Hahaha, this is the three of them together, and the one who borrowed our name to go through the official road shopkeeper has made a fortune again"
The old man sat in the carriage and looked back at the children and smiled.
At this time, I heard that on the four-headed cart in front of me, there was a person standing up, Zheng Laogao proudly and arrogantly shouting, "Go, Ruth Baicai, Baibao come in"
Then everyone sang in unison, and the waves swept like ocean waves, and at the end, the wagon moved slowly, and the post station was very close to the city gate, and it was out of the city as soon as it turned a corner.
Standing on the car board, the four children suddenly saw a slightly chubby boy jumping to look at this side, "It's a dunzi, it's a dunzi, look at it," the sharp-eyed Xiao Chai hurriedly shouted.
All four of them waved and shouted to the pier, and the carriage slowly entered the city gate.
"Dunzi, you're okay, when we come back to see you, we'll miss you"
At this time, Dunzi wept and looked at the four children, unable to say a word, and followed the carriage.
"Look at your cowardice, we are not going back, the crying nose of the girls, Mo Laobai gave you Qian Liyun, it is to tell you to stand on the cloud and cry your nose, go back, Dunzi" The dog said with a grimace of comfort and sarcasm.
Shi Zi and Xiao Chai Erwang also coaxed a few steps like this, and Dun showed a smile and laughed while following the car, with tears on his face, which made people feel sad.
"I'll wait for you, four bastards"
Dunzi followed the convoy out of the city gate before he relieved his heart congestion and stood up and shouted, watching Dunzi's figure get smaller and smaller.
"Dunzi is so blessed, his fifth uncle and four daughters have no sons, so they have to take Dunzi as a child to support the elderly, the four sisters and his aunt and his fifth uncle all take him as a treasure, and the inn will return to Dunzi in the future, which is what Songtao came back to tell me," the old man of the iron hat took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
The dog pouted and said with a flattering face, "This guy is not blessed, how can he be happy with the old man in the iron hat, see the scenery all the way, eat wild meat all the way, hahahaha, beautiful"
After a while, the old man in the iron hat began to laugh and play in the carriage again, and the old man in the iron hat happily took another sip of wine and a cigarette.
But no one cared about the piece of red jade on Shizi's waist, and the eyes of the Luan-tailed Fire Feather Bird suddenly flashed with a trace of light, and a strange flash flashed.
The four children were very naughty, and in order to see how many horses there were, they all stood on the roof of the carriage shed and counted.
The front twenty dart masters rode high-headed horses heroically leading the way, Songtao walked in front of the show-off look is very annoying, there are dart masters on both sides of the horse convoy riding horses running over, and the back dart masters take care of important goods at most.
The horse convoy walked in the forest and the mountains until the sun went down, and the horse convoy circled out again, everyone began to cook and eat, tonight's game is even more abundant, venison, wild boar, hares, and wild vegetables, Zheng Lao also invited two Ancheng chefs to cook delicious food for everyone, because the salt transported on the car will taste more delicious.
This meal, the four children loosened their trouser belts and devoured them, the dog Dan held a rabbit leg in his hand, his face was full of oil, and he opened his mouth and said, "Dunzi, this thing is going to see our envy to death."
Shizi nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go like this for a year, let's enjoy it slowly haha"
Erwang also squinted and smiled: "Raise the three of you as pigs, I'll be responsible for letting you go, haha"
Xiao Chai drank the broth and smiled and looked at it and kicked Erwang with a shout.
The old man in the iron hat held the wine jug in his hand, looked up at the sky, smoked a cigarette, and didn't know what to think in his heart.
At this time, everyone was eating happily, when three big horses came from afar, three masked people in black were sitting on them, and their wrists were squeezed with red belts, Zheng Lao squinted and got up, his hands behind his back, and five bodyguards got up around him, Song Tao walked in the front, and the people around him continued to eat and laugh, and Shizi, they also stood up and watched.
The three big horses walked to the front of the convoy, Songtao clasped his hands into fists and smiled, "Where are friends from, how about a few glasses of wine to see if you are familiar?"
One of the three big horses clasped his fists and responded, "Brother Song, don't come unharmed, it's good not to see you for many days, business is doing well."
Zheng Lao squinted his eyes and didn't wait for Song Tao to speak, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother of Que Yan Mountain, don't bother if there is an urgent matter at home, there are some gifts here to tell the big boss that I will come to eat and drink at home next time, this small gift must be accepted."
Behind him, a bodyguard held a plate of silver ingots in his hand, and a few animal skins on his back, walked up to the three black-clothed men and offered them with both hands.
"Zheng Lao is giving alms, I will transfer the disturbance."
Then he put the silver two into the leather bag, put the animal skin on the horse, untied the red belt in his hand and threw it at Songtao, and then turned and left.
Song Tao squeezed on the flagpole with a red belt, turned around and walked to Zheng Lao's side, then sat down and continued to drink.
"Don't look at these three are the mountain bandits of Queyan Mountain, they came to ask for tolls, we went out of the territory of Min Country and walked for a day to be their mountain," the old man in the iron hat looked up at the night sky, but explained to the four children.
Erwang walked to the old man in the iron hat and squatted down, "They said to take the official road, didn't they take the original route?
The old man in the iron hat took a puff of cigarette and slowly replied, "If you don't give it, you will offend the mountain bandits, and one day they will find you."
Xiao Chai and Goudan also came over, and they had to tell the story of the mountain bandits.
And Shi Zi sat there but didn't hold the red jade card in his hand to look at it, thinking back to the things in his dream last night, the immortals are people who have cultivated, but they have never heard the old man tell the story of the immortals when he is so old, that is, Mo Lao has talked about it and seen the cloth scroll.
Everything that the black shadow Tong Muhe said in last night's dream should be true, what is it that sucks souls and raises gems, and then he looked at the Luanwei Fire Feather Bird with the red jade card in his hand, and thought to himself, is it it?
I thought about it again, and what was the small flower basket stone hanging around my neck, and the pearl on my waist and the warm green stone?
"I must go to the place where the immortal cultivators are," he thought in his heart, and his determination became bigger and stronger.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the story and adventures of the old man of the iron hat and asked him, and quickly got up and ran to the iron hat.
The Iron Hat is telling the story of mountain bandits and road rage
"Hey, these mountain bandits are also good and bad, there are morals, there are also direct swords, and the caravan is their best prey, but also the main source of feeding them, most of these years are fleeing soldiers, and a few bandits who rob houses and houses, because they are afraid of the siege of officers and soldiers and hide in the mountains, the officers and soldiers come to hang, they immediately pull out the camp and escape, and the powerful rely on the mountain to become the overlord of the mountain. The caravan paid the gold and silver goods and passed safely. This time, we were able to walk the official road, surrounded by soldiers and cleaned up the land without spending tolls, so they all rushed to walk with us, so it was safe to save money and time on the road, and the other two paid a lot of fees."
Shi Zi nodded, and couldn't wait to change the topic and said, "Iron hat old, iron hat old, you have seen a lot over the mountains and mountains, have you ever seen a fairy?"
This question is very abrupt The old man of the iron hat was also stunned, and the dog and Wang Xiaochai also looked at the stone in the same way, and the stone smirked and scratched his head.
"Mountain spirits, wild monsters, fairy spirits, I have heard a lot, but I have never seen it, I walked with the shopkeeper a few years ago to a place called Wuha Mountain, at noon, the sky was clear, and suddenly flew out of the mountain, a monster as big as a house, like a dog's head, and a body like a snake, there were two people sitting on it, a man and a woman, and then they found that we were passing by, only to see the woman above disappear in front of our eyes with a wave of her hand, this I think it is definitely a fairy," the old man in the iron hat said with a cigarette.
When he said this, Shi Zi suddenly remembered that the turtle beast must be this in the cloth scroll.
The iron hat old straightened his waist and felt very comfortable, Xiao Chai quickly went up to help pinch his shoulders, the iron hat old man stretched his legs comfortably, and said, "I'm telling you one, and then go to sleep, how about it?"
Then he pointed to the bird carved out of the red jade plaque on the waist of the stone, and then said, "This old man is still a friend of the shopkeeper......
Then, like the story told by Mo Lao, the stone also listened carefully, and determined the matter of this immortal cultivator in his heart.
Definitely have to find a way to get into where to learn immortal arts, to become a person who can fly, and things are going to be said in the future.
Before the Iron Hat told the story, the people in the camp began to sleep, and someone also brought the animal skin mats, and when he saw that the four children were listening energetically, the man did not have the consciousness to disturb, and when the story was finished, the Iron Hat told them to go to sleep, and they also went to their own place to sleep.
The four-and-a-half-year-old children didn't fight tonight, but spread out the animal skin mats in a row and lay down to look at the stars in the sky
"I also want to see what the gods look like, at least it will be enviable to outsiders."
Xiao Chai pointed to the sky excitedly and said as if he could touch the stars
The dog pouted and winked his eyes and said, "People can see immortals in this life, that is, to the convoy, these people have traveled over mountains and mountains all year round, and people from various countries may be able to see it, but I think what the iron hat always said is true."
Erwang lay down and said with a smile as if he were walking, "Look at this immortal, lying like this, walking for a while, you can fly up and walk to the stars."
Shi Zi and Goudan laughed, and Shi Zi put his hand on the red jade plate and touched it while saying, "Wait until I go to be a fairy and show you"
Then the laughter of the partners came out, and at this moment, a meteor flew in the sky, and the four children were all thinking about the things of the gods, and the Luanwei Fire Feather Bird on the red jade plate turned its eyes, and then turned into a crescent moon shape, feeling as if they were laughing.
