Chapter 257 [Tea Stall](1/2)

"Oh...ohhhh!"

The next morning, before the sun rose, the roosters in the village began to crow.

Just after a cup of tea, the sound of "whooshing and whooshing" could be heard in the courtyard where the birthday class was located.

That was the news of young people getting up early to practice martial arts and playing with sticks, knives and forks.

The leader of the Shouxi class lives alone in a room, and it is said that he used to get up early in the morning.

But since he suffered a prison sentence in Qianjiang Fucheng, his body and bones have not completely recovered, and he even suffers from the problem of being lazy.

Hearing the whirring sound of practicing martial arts outside, he turned over in a daze, only to find that his back was soaked with sweat.

He grabbed the rolled-up cattail leaf next to him and patted his body several times. But once he stopped, he felt even hotter. He had no choice but to get up and open the door, and subconsciously touched the bunch of copper keys tied around his waist. Then he lay back on the bed.

A ray of cool morning breeze blew into the house, and the slightly cool class teacher felt sleepy again.

"Crack!"

The cattail leaf fan fell on the bed. The class leader barely opened a slit in his eyes and stretched out his hand to pull the cattail leaf fan.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

There was a soft sound from the bed.

"A plague-stricken rat."

The class leader thought it was a rat that had crawled onto the bed, so he cursed and grabbed the cattail leaf fan and started to beat it.

"Um?"

What caught my eye was a doll made of clay.

Wearing a crimson python robe, his head is made of loess, and his two emerald green bamboo leaf hat wings gently sway up and down.

"belch!"

The clay puppet that looked like a civil servant suddenly opened its mouth and let out a belch, and also spurted out a stream of fiery red heat, which made the class leader feel stuffy again.

"Am I dreaming?"

The class leader was puzzled and was about to sit up and take a closer look. However, he saw that the clay puppet's little mouth suddenly moved again, and it actually uttered human words:

"Master, listen to me. I am Jiafei. I have left since then. If anyone asks me again, they will tell me that I am nowhere to be found."

Duan Yulou, a former military student in the class, has become a bandit and is now running around Qianyuan Prefecture. I hereby tell you how to deal with it. You can make your own decision. Don't say it was unforeseen.

In addition, there is a packet of fragrant smoothie wrapped in lotus leaves, which has been distributed to all the children in the class to comfort them."

"Master, listen carefully, I am Jia Fei..."

"Master, listen carefully..."

After the clay puppet said the same words three times in a row, a ball of green air came out of its mouth, and then it became silent.

The old teacher rubbed his eyes and stretched out his hand to take the clay doll. He saw that the clay doll's two short legs actually started to move. Taking small square steps, he quickly jumped from the bed to the ground, and then slipped to the door. He jumped over the threshold, turned a corner, and disappeared.

"..."

"Snapped!"

"Hi~ha!"

The class leader slapped himself hard, covered his burning cheeks, got out of bed, rushed to the door barefoot, and looked in the direction where the clay puppet disappeared.

"Hey! The class leader got up early today. I think he met some young lady in his dream and couldn't help but want to come out and have a bath with her."

A few young students who were practicing in the courtyard saw the class leader coming out, and some bold ones laughed.

"Go! I'm training you. Oh, by the way, have you ever..."

The class leader wanted to speak but stopped talking.

"What?"

"Uh...nothing, just practice hard!"

After the class leader finished speaking, he covered his cheeks and turned around to go back to the house. He heard bursts of cheers coming from several rooms nearby:

"Wow! Bing Xiang Gai!"

"tasty!"

"Bah liu ba liu!"

"Da Wu Sheng! Da Wu Sheng!"

Several children shouted and ran out of the house. At the same time, each of them held a fresh and clean lotus leaf in their hands. They ran past the class leader and ran towards the backyard.

The class leader followed involuntarily and followed the children to the door of the house where Jia Fei lived, but he did not dare to move rashly for fear of disturbing the people inside.

The children looked at each other, one of the older children scratched his head, then raised his foot and lightly kicked the youngest child in the buttocks.

Under the encouragement, Erwazi swallowed, tiptoed to the door, hugged the lotus leaf bag tightly, freed up a little hand to knock twice on the door, and the door opened by itself.

"Squeaky!"

Erwazi stretched his head and looked inside. There was a faint musty smell in the house, which was the smell of the old house after it had been vacant for two or three days.

Seeing that no one was in the room, all the children crowded into the room. The head teacher also followed behind and looked into the back room. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. The bed was neatly arranged, and it looked like it had never been moved.

"I'm really gone..."

The class leader murmured to himself.

"Wow!"

"Ah! Wow! You pushed all my ice-flavored caps off the ground! You pay! You pay!"

The second kid grabbed the other kid next to him and cried.



"I know! I know! I know..."

The scorching sun is shining in the sky, steaming and baking the earth.

There is an official road between Gyeonggi Ferry and the Imperial City of the capital that can pass four carriages.

During the day, people pulling carts and transporting goods came and went on the official road, and along the way there were many small businessmen from nearby villages setting up stalls to sell various goods.

Among them, tea stalls are the most common, especially in summer, there is one almost every one or two miles apart.

"Tea shopkeeper, please serve two bowls of tea."

The tea shopkeeper was taking a nap in the shed when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside, so he lazily came out and saw two guest officials, Bai and Qing, who looked like young gentlemen.

Seeing that these two people were of good temperament, the tea shopkeeper immediately put away his laziness, trotted forward, and greeted the two of them to a relatively clean table. He sat on a long bench and greeted them.

People sit down.

"Snapped!"

Jia Fei took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table. The shopkeeper smiled even more:

"Oh! Thank you young masters."

"Easy to say."

After Jia Fei finished speaking, the tea shopkeeper bowed and returned to the tea shed. After a while, he brought out two bowls of the cleanest white porcelain tea cups.

"If you two objectively have any other instructions, just say hello to me."

Jia Fei waved his hand gently, and the shopkeeper returned to the shed with a smile. Cheng Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of herbal tea. The tea was not strong in taste, but it had a hint of sweetness and earthy smell.

"Brother Cheng, the capital city seemed very close yesterday, but if we really walked there, it would be farther than Qingchuan County to Qingluozhuang. Why?"

"This is my first time here in the capital, but you have stayed here for several years. Why do you ask me now?"

"That was three hundred years ago, and before my spiritual wisdom was developed, my memory has long been blurred. I probably only remember what happened at the Marquis' Mansion in the city, and I never left the inner city."

Cheng Yu nodded slightly, looked up in the direction of the capital and said:

"Perhaps it's because the capital is located on a high ground and is large in scale, so it doesn't look far away, but it's actually not that far away. That's why it's so easy to run away from the mountain."

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he remembered something again, pointed at the bag of tips on Jia Fei's chest and said:

"I see that there is a lot of trouble in this capital. After you and I return the exquisite dice to its original owner, we can leave here."

"Ah? I wanted to visit my old place again, especially the palace, which I have never set foot in before. This time I also want to see the difference between the emperor's children's eating, drinking and eating."

Jia Fei said with some reluctance upon hearing this.

"You have been registered by the Jinwu Guards at this moment. Even if they do not regard you as an enemy, if you really want to break into the palace they are guarding...and don't forget that there are still those Xirong monks in the capital."

When Jia Fei heard this, he immediately thought of the golden thread that once bound his demon pill, and frowned:

"If that's the case, then we might as well not leave anymore and just leave."

Cheng Yu smiled and shook his head when he heard this:

"Last night I asked you to take the troupe and cross the river to leave Gyeonggi Province. I went to the capital alone to return the dice, but you refused. You insisted on letting the clay puppet make the trip for you. You guarded me yourself. It seems that I can
