Chapter 26: The Sturdy Rouge Tiger
A carriage slowly walked out of the Zhuque Gate, followed by a young man on horseback. The young man wore a wide-brimmed bamboo hat woven with bamboo leaves and bamboo leaves on his head, and wore a coir raincoat made of woven coir on his body. The cold wind carried rain and snow.
He blew it, and his face turned slightly red from the cold. The wheels and horse hooves grinded on the muddy road, making a rhythmic and dull sound. The person in the carriage coughed twice, and the young man on the horse asked: "Teacher, do you want to stop for a while?"
Yes?" the person in the car said. "No, where are we?"
The young man looked around and said, "We have left Zhuque Gate, and we will reach Longjin Bridge not far ahead." The people in the car said nothing.
On weekdays, this place is prosperous, especially with the various snacks on the night market and the Huimin River being connected to the waterway. The villages and towns along the river are also prosperous, but today it is shrouded in a haze of rain and snow. This scene makes people feel sad.
The two masters and disciples on this road were extremely depressed.
Walking onto the arched Longjin Bridge, the Huimin River was still freezing at this time. Boats were rowing under the arches of the bridge. Most of them were merchant ships carrying food or sundries between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. A young man on a horse stood on the arch of the bridge.
Looking to the southwest, the southwest is the complex tower. The young man thought of Liang Yuexia. Just as Liang Yuexia said, his father Di Qing was framed.
Where will Liang Yuexia be waiting for Di Qing, Wang Pang and his apprentice, and where has she been during this time? Wang Pang only knows.[
Now Wang Pang is even more confused. He has made a marriage decision, but he has no idea what Liang Yuexia is thinking. At least during this period, Wang Pang couldn't find her at all, and she didn't show up. Could she have arrived in Chenzhou?
Where are they waiting? Wang Pang calculated the distance and found that Chenzhou is in Wanqiu County, not far from Bianjing. It is more than 300 miles away from Bianjing. Wang Pang really hoped that he could travel back to 2012 and then take his car with him again.
Travel back. In the 21st century, this journey would only take three or four hours by car even if you don't take the expressway. But now, going back more than 900 years, at the speed of their masters and apprentices, they would only cover more than 20 miles a day. Wang Pang thought from his heart
I was frightened. Fortunately, after leaving Nanxun Gate, there were already few people around. The coachman jumped on the car, whipped his horse, and sped up a little.
That night they rested in a post house along the way and continued their journey the next morning. In the evening they arrived at Weishi County. They entered the county and found a restaurant to settle down temporarily. Wang Bian saw that Di Qing was still weak after a long journey and was still weak.
"Teacher, why don't you rest for a day or two before leaving."
Di Qing sighed and said, "I don't know where I can see my girl. The horses also need supplies and a rest."
Wang Pang said: "We walked for two days and finally saw a decent county town. Maybe the girl under the moon will be waiting for us here."
Di Qing nodded and told Wang Pang to go around the streets tomorrow and grab some wine to take with him on the way. He saw that Wang Pang had been freezing for the past two days, so he could drink some to keep warm if he felt cold on the road. Wang Pang served Di Qing to drink.
After taking the medicine, the master and the disciple said a few words and then went to sleep. Di Qing was weak and fell asleep after another two days of shaking, but Wang Bian couldn't sleep.
The edge of the bed in Di's store was extra hard, and the mattress underneath was a little thin, which made his waist ache. He turned sideways, just in time to look at Di Qing on the bed opposite, and looked around the room again. The room was simple, with two east and west rooms.
The bed, between the two beds is a table and two chairs. This layout is like a standard room. The lights are turned off in the room, but the moonlight outside is bright. It is so bright that it looks desolate in this winter night. On the lattice
The shadow of the tree swayed, and Wang Pang suddenly widened his eyes. No, the leaves were withered now, and it was impossible for such a complete tree shadow to appear. What's more, he had seen it when he entered the room, and there was no tree outside at all.
Just when he was about to take a closer look, he heard Di Qing coughing again. Wang Pang sat up and heard Di Qing say: "Pang'er, I woke you up."
Wang Pian stood up and walked to the stove. Seeing that there was still fire left in the coal in the stove, he used a small hook on the stove to close the fire and said, "Master, is it cold? Do you want to ask the store to add some coal?"
After finishing, he turned around and looked outside.
Di Qing said: "No, you can go to sleep. It's time to go."
Wang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Could it be??" He wanted to think about whether it was Yue Xia who was searching for them, but then he thought that even if Liang Yuexia had the ability to fly over walls and climb walls, he would not lie outside for half a month to peek at them.
Master and apprentice.
Di Qing said: "It's a pity that Mr. Bao has such good intentions, but some things are already determined by fate."
Wang Ben got back under the quilt and asked, "Why did my teacher say this?"
Di Qing said: "Did you know that there is a kind of pear in Chenzhou called Qingshalan. It will be very bad for Chenzhou." Wang listened and felt sad, but there was nothing he could do. He just hoped to find Liang Yuexia as soon as possible.
Their father and daughter are reunited, and secondly, Liang Yuexia has a strange ability, which can at least predict things before they happen.
Weishi County is not very big, and I have already visited it in half a day. Except for King Bianjing, he would ask the store owner if he had seen a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old when he was staying at the hotel. She was quite pretty. After asking one or two places,
The shopkeepers all made fun of him. Wang Pang knew that what he was asking was inappropriate, whether there were any shadows or graphics. Just whether he had any pretty girls, people would naturally make fun of him.
Seeing noon, I returned to the Di shop and found Di Qing and the two of them looking for a tavern to have dinner. The taverns here were far inferior to those in Bianliang. Although the wine flags were hung high, the decoration of the shops was very simple. Naturally, in such a small county, the
I don't want to be like Bianjing, where there are colorful singing and dancing prostitutes in front of the door. But since the two of them came here to eat, they didn't pay much attention to these.
The two ordered some food and drinks, drank tea and waited for the food to be served. The hotel was not big, and there were tables and chairs inside, and the diners could see them at a glance. A man came in from the outside, dressed as a man, but passing by the two of them, there was a burst of rouge fragrance.
Di Qing frowned and immediately looked at the person. Wang Pang also paid attention. Di Qing Wang Pang asked: "Isn't this under the moon?"
Wang Pang looked at it and said: "This is also a woman disguised as a man. She is quite beautiful, but the fragrance is a bit bright." In Wang Pang's mind, he thought of the face without makeup under the moon, which looked similar to that of You.
The girl had a delicate fragrance. Although the person who just passed by was wearing men's clothes, she could not hide her makeup. Wang Pang thought that there were so many people who saw him, and he gave the appearance of this woman disguised as a man a seven in his heart. This woman's facial features are a sign.
But her demeanor is not as naughty or shy as Yuexia's. Instead, she is more unruly and arrogant. Therefore, Wang Pang gave this woman disguised as a man a 6 points overall. But no matter what, in Weishi County such a
In a small county town, this woman is definitely a first-class beauty.
The waiter served the wine and said, "Miss Zhu, what kind of food and drinks will you order today?" Seeing that the woman called Miss Zhu glared at him, she quickly changed her words: "Mr. Zhu, you are such a mouthful.
Wrong again, what kind of food and drinks did you order?"
Miss Zhu said: "I'm not here to drink and eat."[
The waiter said: "Okay, okay, I'll make you a pot of tea. You sit down first." After that, he turned around and made tea for Miss Zhu.
Seeing the waiter in the shop like this, Wang Pang became curious and asked Di Qing: "Teacher, do you think this woman is the shopkeeper's daughter?"
Di Qing ignored him and was distracted. What would it be like for his daughter to dress up in men's clothing? When Wang saw that Di Qing ignored him, he turned to look at the girl. He thought of Liang Yuexia. When he looked at Liang Yuexia like this, Yuexia
She blushed and avoided his target. But Miss Zhu didn't blush. Not only did she not blush, she turned to the waiter and said, "Come here and drive this person away!"
Wang Pang thought he had heard wrongly. This girl actually asked someone to coax him away. The waiter looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Miss, no, no, no, sir, it's not easy to do business. Isn't that right?"
Did you offend all the guests and run away?"
The girl slapped the table: "Who asked you to open the door for business? Are you going or not?"
The waiter looked at the girl, at the king's side, and back and forth. With his head lowered, he walked to Di Qing's table at the king's side and said: "Two officials, you... Why don't you eat somewhere else, or you
Where do you two live? I will send you to your house?"
When Wang Pang heard this, he almost lost his temper. He stood up and said, "Young Master, we are strangers to each other. Why don't you let us eat here?"
Miss Zhu said: "I'm not not letting you eat, I'm not letting him open a shop..." She pointed at the waiter, and when she turned her face, the waiter had already hid somewhere.
Miss Zhu saw the waiter's back running towards the kitchen, so she chased him in. As she chased him, she said, "Lu Shenyan, stop right there."
The people eating in the restaurant burst into laughter. Wang Pang said: How about we change to another restaurant? Di Qing said: "Forget it, if the kitchen has already been prepared, wouldn't it be a waste? Let's wait later."
Just as he was talking, the cotton curtain of the tavern opened, and a big man walked in. His accent did not sound like a local. He came in and looked for a place to sit down. He saw several tables of people eating in the room. The only one who greeted him was the owner, who shouted: "
store, store"
The waiter ran out of the back kitchen and chased Mr. Zhu who was holding the kitchen knife. The waiter walked around the table to avoid her and said: "Tiger Girl, listen to me... I will
It’s not the material to take the merit test. My father left me this little fortune, do you think it’s easy for me, tiger mother, oh my.”
The waiter bumped into the big man while running, and saw the girl running close to him. The big man grabbed the girl's wrist, and the girl burst into tears. The waiter said hurriedly: "Uncle, please let go quickly. This is
My unmarried daughter-in-law"
Everyone burst into laughter. The big man quickly let go of his hand. Miss Zhu wiped her tears and went out. The waiter hurriedly chased her out. In this small tavern, there were only a few tables of people eating, and some people who had not yet eaten.
You understand, you stupid big guy.
"What's going on?" the big man asked.
The people from the county at the next table laughed, "This is a common thing. The tavern is run by this waiter. That girl was originally the daughter of the county master, but she was just a commoner. Her mother was a geisha in Bianjing City. Let the county master
It looks like I brought him back. The county magistrate traveled westward a few years ago, and his wife promised the girl to Lu Shenyan. Shenyan was also a hard-luck boy, and only the father and son had experienced this shop for many years. His father is gone too.
This teenage boy is carrying this shop. It is us, the old neighbor, who takes care of his business."
The big man nodded after hearing this, and Wang Pang and Di Qing also understood. The big man was embarrassed and said, "Then how about eating."
A person from this county said: "We are all used to it. When we come, we go to the wine vat and prepare something by ourselves. If there are no ready-made side dishes, we prepare some first. When he stops fighting, we will come back."
After hearing this, the big man scratched his head and Di Qing said: "My dear brother, we have just ordered the food, but it should be served faster than your order. It's so good and I ordered more. Why don't you come and sit down and eat together?"
Right." Wang Pang looked at Di Qing strangely. Di Qing said in a low voice: "This man is a fierce general, which makes people happy."
The big man was not polite. He said hello and sat down at the same table with them. After a while, the waiter came back and said hello to everyone. Then, as if nothing happened just now, he served everyone the dishes that should be served.
Add wine, add wine.
Di Qing also chatted at the table for a while. During the conversation, he learned that the big man's name was He Libo. Seeing that he was also from another province, he asked him where he was going. He Libo said: "I am going to Chenzhou to join Di Qing."
