Chapter 8 Rescue Xiahouying
After ordering two jars of wine and a few side dishes, Yang and Lin had a few drinks in a small tavern in the county. It was just after noon and there were not many people there, although they had already eaten.
Dry food, but now that I don’t have much money, I still choose to be extravagant.
Li Ba had a chicken leg in his left hand and a pig's trotter in his right hand. He stuffed it into his mouth hungrily. When he choked, he drank from the altar. The beard on his face was stained with oil and water, like a refugee who had not eaten for many days.
In comparison, Yang Lin looked like a normal person, drinking one cup after another, still feeling depressed about not finding Liu Bang just now. Such an opportunity was missed. Could it be that the time to meet has not come yet?
"Hey, objectively, you haven't paid me yet." Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of the tavern waiter came from behind.
"Get out of the way." Another impatient voice said, "I owe you the money for today's drinks, and I will pay you back in the future."
This guy definitely wouldn't let him go. He took the man's arm with both hands and shouted loudly in the tavern, "Come and see... Come and see... This man won't pay for his drink after drinking."
Immediately, a group of people gathered to watch, whispering, pointing and looking at the man with disdain.
Being so humiliated by everyone, the man became angry and pushed the tavern clerk down. The clerk knocked over Yang Lin's table of food and wine, causing the wine jar to break and the wine to flow all over the floor.
"You guy. I didn't bring any money today, and I already told you that I will pay you back next time." The man glanced at the guy who fell to the ground, waved his sleeves, and wanted to leave in shame and anger.
After the man took a step, a chicken leg suddenly flew towards him, "Boy, you spilled our wine and want to leave? Your grandpa Li Ba has never suffered such a loss." It was Li Ba, a sturdy man, who thundered like a thunderbolt.
The sound was clearly heard by everyone present. At this time, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over angrily.
"Come here." Li Ba was so powerful that he grabbed the man's clothes and dragged him back.
"open!"
The man turned around and shouted angrily, staring at Li Ba with angry eyes and a arrogant expression on his face.
Li Ba was not a vegetarian either, so he ignored his words at all, "Oh, you spilled my wine and you still dare to act rude, let me see if I don't beat you to death."
As he said this, the careless man raised his fist and was about to hit him.
"stop!"
Yang Lin turned around, glared at Li Ba, grabbed his fisted arm and scolded him, "Be honest."
Then he looked at the person who wanted to leave. He had thick eyebrows and a wide forehead, and was energetic. He was about thirty years old. There was an object hanging on his back. The object was wrapped in linen. From the linen view, it was about three feet long and three feet long.
The width of the finger.
Yang Lin's gaze paused on something three feet away, turned his eyes, bowed his hands in salute to the man, and said: "It's a misunderstanding, I hope you can forgive me." Then he said to Li Ba, "Let's go." So.
Leave the drink money and leave.
"Brother Lin, why let that man go?" Li Ba chased him out. He was extremely depressed. He was not full of wine and was still angry. How could he bear this impatience? He asked angrily with a complaining expression.
.
"We were right..."
Yang Lin shook his head, pointed at Li Ba's head, and said in an ironic tone, "Don't you know how to use your brain?"
Li Ba touched his head, rolled his big eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, what does my head have to do with this?"
Yang Lin, who was full of preaching, was immediately exasperated by these words. He pointed his right index finger at him, "You, you..., how could I know you, a pig-headed person like you."
Seeing Li Ba's still puzzled expression, he got closer and whispered solemnly, "There was something hanging behind that man just now. Do you know what it is?"
Li Ba shook his head and said he didn't know, "No matter what it is, if you hit us with wine, you have to pay for it."
"Your head..." Yang Lin reprimanded in a low voice, "Then the sword is a weapon." He pointed his index finger sharply in front of him.
"What, a weapon?" Li Ba made a rumbling thunderous sound. Then he realized that his voice was too loud. He immediately nodded and bent down, looked around cautiously, and whispered to Yang Lin anxiously, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin..., I
Is it okay if I'm wrong? I'll pay attention next time and I'll definitely pay attention."
Yang Lin was going to be mad at him, "If I had known I shouldn't have brought you out today, I would have kept your mouth shut." He sighed helplessly, "If you want to start a fight with him, you will be the one who suffers.
.Be more careful next time!”
Li Ba hurriedly responded, and then the two of them pulled an ox cart to purchase a batch of linen cloth. Twelve taels of gold was already a considerable fortune. Now that the cold winter is approaching, measures to keep out the cold in Anyang must be arranged as soon as possible.
They had no worries about food and no fear of the cold. Since Yang Lin had decided in his heart to lead everyone to survive, he still had to spend the money he had in hand. After loading an entire oxcart with cloth and other items to keep out the cold, they left the county.
.
Yang Lin sat on the bullock cart and looked back at the county town. He stared at the Qin Emperor's flag on the city tower with deepening eyes. In a few years, there will be my flag on this city tower. This thought came to his mind.
Going back along the loess road we came from, the old scalper was still pulling the cart leisurely and leisurely. Although it was a lot heavier than when we came, it was much easier than plowing the land during busy farming days. I guess the biggest thing in the old cow's heart was
My wish is not to hear that thundering sound again.
"Brother Lin, look!"
Seven or eight miles out of the county town, Li Ba held straw in his mouth and hummed a ditty happily. His voice suddenly stopped. He shook Yang Lin with his right hand, who was lying on the linen and looking up at the sky, and shouted.
The latter sat up and looked in the direction Li Ba pointed, only to see a man running toward him with an object hanging on his back. This man looked back behind him from time to time, probably to avoid something.
"It's him..." Yang Lin muttered quietly, frowning.
The visitor also saw the two people on the bullock cart, "It's them..." he thought to himself, but he didn't stop, and jumped past Yang Lin and the two.
"This brother..."
At this time, Yang Lin didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly turned around and shouted to the man who had already run over.
After a while, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from far and near, and six Qin soldiers in armor rode towards them quickly, raising thick dust on their tall horses.
"Xilulu..."
Six war horses stopped in front of the bullock cart, and the dust raised made Yang Lin and Yang Lin look dirty. Seeing this, the two men immediately got out of the bullock cart, and one of the Qin soldiers also rode forward and said, "Who are you?"
?" Qin Bing asked expressionlessly.
"Replying to your lord, we are farmers in Anyang, Fengyi." Yang Lin stepped forward and said with a careful apology and a warm smile.
The Qin soldier rode his horse around the ox cart and asked again, "What is loaded in the cart?"
"They are all cold-warming items that I just purchased from the county for my village."
After hearing Yang Lin's answer, Qin Bing read it carefully again, and then asked, "Have you ever seen a person running away in a panic?"
"Sir, I know this." Before Yang Lin could answer, Li Ba replied carelessly and roughly.
"Oh? Where?" Qin Bing faced Li Ba and pointed at him with a riding whip.
Li Ba pointed in a direction and replied in a thunderous voice, "Sir, I saw that man running in that direction with something on his back."
After hearing this answer, Yang Lin finally let go of his worries and thought to himself that Li Ba was not stupid at all.
These Qin soldiers galloped towards the direction pointed by Li Ba.
Yang and Lin continued on their way, and after walking for several miles, they stopped the cart. Then they peeled off the burlap, revealing a man inside with something hanging on his back.
"Xia Houying, thank you two brothers for saving me."
