After everything was settled, Mrs. Zhang looked back and found that Chengchun and Hongdou were looking at her with admiration. She felt a little embarrassed, so she turned back to look at the restaurant manager: "Shopkeeper
Yes, I heard that the food you cook here is very good, and this girl wants to buy some pastries and buns from you to take with her on the road!"
Only then did Chengchun and Hongdou come to their senses. Chengchun stepped forward and said, "Yes, steamed buns, steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, dried meats and vegetables, etc. Prepare more. We will pick them up tomorrow morning. Do you think that's okay?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Cheng Chun, then nodded: "Of course it's okay, but I don't know how much the girl wants?"
"It's not ours!" Madam Zhang said quickly, "I will prepare these things!"
Cheng Chun thought about it carefully and then said: "Twenty-five meat and vegetable buns, fifty steamed buns, fifty sesame seed cakes, bacon and so on... Prepare a ham and two bags of dried vegetables. That's fine.
?"
The shopkeeper paused, then smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem. When will the girl come to pick it up?"
"Tomorrow before lunch!" Chengchun said again.
"Okay, a deposit of 20 taels!" The shopkeeper did the math and then made a 2-tael sign to Cheng Chun.
Hongdou on the side quickly took out a purse from her arms, then found two taels of silver from it and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Now, here are two taels of silver. We are leaving tomorrow, so you must prepare it before lunch."
OK!"
The shopkeeper shook the pieces of silver in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry!"
When Cheng Chun and his party walked out of the restaurant, Madam Zhang finally couldn't help but asked: "You obviously have money, why did you give your hairpin to that young lady?"
"I don't have much money, I just need it on the road. If I take money from my purse, I'm worried that she'll think I'm being taken advantage of, and she won't let go of me. She'll bring a whole family of children to me and cry in front of me, forcing me to submit.
If you give her the hairpin, she will at least think that I don't have much money, so she won't keep biting me!" Cheng Chun said helplessly, "Human hearts, sometimes you still have to be careful!"
Madam Zhang was a little surprised, and after a long time she said: "You have suffered a lot in the capital, right?"
Chengchun was a little surprised: "Why do you say that?"
"How old are you, but you already know how to guard against people's hearts? How many children of your age have seen people's hearts!" Madam Zhang sighed, "When I was your age, I was happy every day.
, where can you see the evil in people’s hearts!”
"What does it mean to be miserable?" Cheng Chun lowered his eyes, "I have good food and clothing every day, and it doesn't seem to be bitter, but it is like this, but I almost lost my life. Looking at it like this, it is bitter.
Bar!"
Madam Zhang looked at Cheng Chun for a long time, then reached out and patted her shoulder: "It doesn't matter, your luck is behind you!"
Chengchun was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "Many people have told me this! I don't know if I will be really lucky in the future!"
"There must be some!" Madam Zhang said with a smile.
Chengchun said nothing more.
The bed in the inn was really hard. Chengchun had a restless sleep that night and dreamed all night long.
The rain is pattering outside, and it is also pattering in Chengchun's dream.
The sound of rain was mixed with the sound of horseshoes tapping on the ground.
"Go quickly, go quickly, go quickly! Don't look back, no matter what happens, don't look back!"
"Girl, you must live. You must remember that no matter how difficult or hard it is, you must live!"
The rain was falling heavily, and she staggered forward. She cried as she walked forward, but it was pitch black in front of her, and she couldn't even see the road. She didn't know where she was, or why she was walking. What's more,
She didn't know who the person who was talking to her was, but she just knew that she had to listen to her and keep moving forward.
"Where's that little girl? They said, where's their daughter? Hand it over quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
"Bah, it's just you, a bunch of grass bandits, it's just you, you still want to catch our girl, just live out your spring and autumn dream!"
"I'm warning you, tell us where we are right away, and I can leave you a complete body!"
"Full corpse? Why don't you think about your own ending? Our general will never let you go. It will definitely be you who are missing your body when the time comes!"
"Go to hell you!"
"..."
It was raining heavily and it was dark. She walked forward little by little. She was about to die.
"Ah, there is a child here, his father, come and see, there is a child here!"
"It's a female doll, she's still alive, hurry up, hurry up, carry it back, hurry up..."
"A-Hua, A-Hua, A-Hua!" Chengchun woke up suddenly amid a burst of pushing.
Madam Zhang looked at the flustered Cheng Chun and said with concern: "You have a nightmare!"
Cheng Chun pressed his heart that was pounding: "I, I seem to have had a long dream. It seems to be something very important, but I don't remember it!"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a nightmare. It's better if you don't remember it!" Madam Zhang patted Chengchun on the shoulder, and then looked at Hongdou sleeping beside her, "Why is this girl sleeping so deeply?"
"She usually sleeps very lightly. She is probably too tired recently!" Cheng Chun said softly.
"You should be more vigilant when you go out!" Madam Zhang said, going to the side to pour a cup of herbal tea. "Drink some tea to slow down. If you are tired from running all the way, you will inevitably have nightmares!"
Chengchun took the tea cup and nodded: "Thank you, madam!"
"It doesn't matter!" Madam Zhang said and lay back, "Go to sleep!"
Chengchun finished drinking the tea and couldn't fall asleep for a long time while holding the tea cup. She couldn't remember her dream clearly, but she didn't know why it was so real. She rarely dreamed in normal times, but this time she had a dream.
It made her feel so worried that she never fell asleep, so that when Hong Dou went out the next day, she hadn't gotten up yet.
When Hong Dou came back from outside, Cheng Chun had just finished washing up. Hong Dou looked at Cheng Chun and stepped forward to touch her forehead: "Ms. Zhang said that the girl had a nightmare last night?"
"Well, it's okay now!" Chengchun smiled.
Hongdou then breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good. By the way, when I went out in the morning, the woman from yesterday came again. She took the money and it was not enough. She said that her mother-in-law was sick because of this matter and she wanted to
During the treatment, Mrs. Zhang got angry, took her hand and said she wanted to report it to the official, so she was so scared that she ran away!"
Cheng Chun frowned slightly: "As a wife, she has no way to restrain her husband, and she doesn't know how to stop losses in time when she makes a mistake. Her pity is caused by herself!"
