Chapter 475: Xiao Yixuan's Purpose
Chapter 475
Erbao seemed to want to catch up and say something, but as soon as he saw that Xiao Yixuan was about to turn the corner, he was afraid of shouting to Lynch and attracting the attention of Xiao Yixuan in front, so he had to stomp his foot depressedly and chase after him.
Handing over the errand of following Xiao Yixuan to Erbao, Lynch easily entered the tea shed, greeted the old man who was busy by the stove, ordered a plate of saltwater peanuts and a pot of chrysanthemum Pu'er tea that cleared the heat and removed the fire, and sat down on the street, drinking the tea with taste.
Lynch, who was drinking tea and resting, glanced at the hurried pedestrians on the street from time to time, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
From Lynch to the palace to serve, he has always been conscientious, this is the first time to have such a leisurely time, he enjoys this rare leisure time, for a while, even forgot the errand on his body.
Erbao, who fell behind Xiao Yixuan, was full of lawsuits.
He always felt that the big shopkeeper of the Lin family's pawnshop was a little strange, not that the person had any strange behavior, but he felt that his attitude was a little wrong, too attentive, although he was a close person from the fourth master's side, but in the end he was really an inconspicuous little steward, compared to this kind of identity similar to the big shopkeeper where the wind was collected, it was lower.
But the attitude of this big shopkeeper is really too low, and he is still listening to what errand they are doing here, according to the big shopkeeper of the Lin family's pawnshop, he should be a very clever person, how could he make such a low-level mistake.
"Well, forget it. Let's wait until we go back and discuss it with Lynch. Erbao thought about it, but he didn't come up with a clue, and sighed a little depressedly. Muttered to himself.
――――
In this way, Erbao, who was full of worries, followed Xiao Yixuan around the street for more than an hour, and he also felt that his physical strength was a little exhausted, and he only felt that every step he took, when his legs were as heavy as lead, there was a sudden ice rain. finally awakened Xiao Yixuan's five senses floating into outer space, and rescued Erbao who wanted to strike.
It's a real rain of ice......
Although it is now spring back to the earth, the temperature is still very low. This drizzle like a cow's hair slapped on his face, and it was as cold as fine ice particles, and it only took a moment to make Erbao shiver.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go to the ready-to-wear shop on the corner to buy thick clothes to protect himself from the cold, Xiao Yixuan, who had been pressing the road on the street for a long time. I finally walked into an inn called "Kelaiju".
Erbao didn't follow up recklessly. Instead, he took two copper coins, approached next to a beggar who was squatting under the eaves of the corner of the house, hugging his shoulders and trembling, and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, is there any place to stay near here?"
The little beggar, whose clothes were wet by the drizzle, was looking at the sky and worrying about how to fill his stomach, and when he heard Erbao's words, he didn't even bother to give a look and pointed to Xiao Yixuan's guest residence. He muttered impatiently: "You are blind, you didn't see the inn in front of you." Don't delay me in the sun. After speaking, as if Erbao was really blocking the sun, he dodged to the side, and waved his hand impatiently.
"Little brother, look at me, a foreigner, the first time I came back to Tongzhou Mansion, isn't this afraid of entering a black shop, come to these two small money, buy you a baked cake to eat!" Erbao grabbed the already warm copper coin in his hand and stuffed it into the little beggar's hand, grinned very shyly and honestly, and said in a mouthful of Henan dialect.
First, the little beggar who was so annoyed by Erbao that he was about to scold people, when he saw the two copper coins in his hand, his eyes were round all of a sudden, and he hurriedly stuffed the copper coins into his arms, and then he looked Erbao up and down, and finally wrinkled his nose, drooped his eyelids, and said with some disdain: "I see that you are also a trick who eats by strength."
Go forward from here, turn the corner of the street, there is a Wang family car shop, twenty dollars can live for one night, but also have a dinner, although the dish is not good, but the white flour steamed buns are enough, than live in this kind of inn to save money. ”
"Hey......
Don't hide it from the little brother, if I am myself, I will find a place to nest for a night, how can I be willing to pay to live in the inn, this is not the uncle who hired me to catch the car Zhang Luo here to rest for a night, let me first find a sharp place.
I thought that the uncle had come all the way, not like a stingy person, so I thought about enjoying it for a while and staying at the inn. Erbao blinked his little eyes, put on a greedy and cheap snicker, squatted beside the little beggar, and said in a sly manner.
"It turns out that this is the case, the shop in front of the door with a young man greeting business is an inn, although the upper room of the inn is a little expensive, but the craftsmanship of the master in charge of the kitchen is not said.
A few years ago, a merchant from the south rewarded me with a taste of Kung Pao Chicken, which tasted ...... Tut-tut, it's drooling just to think about it. The little beggar touched his shriveled lower abdomen, dodged in the corner of the wall again, moved a foot of space for Erbao, and said with a green light in his eyes.
Erbao nodded gratefully, and while holding the burden on his shoulders in his arms, he took out a dry and cold steamed bun and handed it to the little beggar, muttering as if he couldn't make up his mind: "I don't know if the shopkeeper is good at talking!"
I can't be the master myself, but if I bring the master over, what if there is no guest room......
"See the little guy who is soliciting business in the rain, if there is no guest room, the young man would have been greeted by the shopkeeper a long time ago, you dare to follow the master's family everywhere, don't let the family sell you at that time, and count the money for others!" The little beggar bit off most of the steamed bun in two bites, listened to Erbao's embarrassing self-talk, and swallowed the steamed bun that was choked in his throat and mouth with great difficulty, and said with a disgusted face.
"I'm a little stupid in my head, but the master who hired me has some kinship with my mother-in-law, and he won't lie to me, and thanks to the reminder of a kind-hearted person like my little brother, otherwise I'd still be wandering around the street looking for an inn!" Erbao pretended to be stupid and put a few more words, and listened to the things inside and outside of "Kelaiju" clearly. scratched his head with his backhand, stopped straightening his chest with a little pride, and took out two steamed buns from his baggage. Stuffed into the little beggar's hand, smiled and said a kind word, then turned his head and walked to the tea shed where Lynch was resting.
As for why he didn't follow up to stare at Xiao Yixuan, who went to the guest house!
In his opinion, the one will not walk around in the rain, so he is very relieved to go to Lynch first.
It's just that he never dreamed that Xiao Yixuan's goods couldn't be thought of according to common sense.
After he talked with the little beggar, he was very relieved to leave the vicinity of the "guest house" not long after. Xiao Yixuan put on an oil umbrella temporarily borrowed from the inn and walked to the dock to find a place where Ning Jinghui and his party stayed.
Originally. It is true that Xiao Yixuan lost his soul, but he was not walking aimlessly, but wanted to find Ning Jinghui and his party who wanted to take a boat from Tongzhou to send Ning Lao's coffin back to Shaoxing near the dock. Really go to Ning Lao's spirit and put a stick of incense in front of it. So when he found the inn, he spent money to buy a pair of dry clothes from the shopkeeper, changed out of the wet robe, and came out again with an oil umbrella.
didn't know Xiao Yixuan's plans for the second treasure, so naturally he lost Xiao Yixuan without accident.
Of course, this can't be completely blamed on Erbao's confusion, this is also human nature.
Who would have thought that this person would go out in the rain, and then say that he wanted to follow up the guest to live. It is true that Lynch, the master who is dressed as a foot merchant, needs to come forward, otherwise he will dress up as a foot man. As soon as you enter the inn, it will attract the attention of many people.
Therefore, it can only be said that this is an accident, if there is no accident, Erbao and Lynch have been following Xiao Yixuan, seeing the scene where Xiao Yixuan went to incense Ning Lao, the fourth master did not need to bother any more to directly track down the hand behind Xiao Yixuan, that is, the eighth master who had been working for Ning Lao for several years.
With the idea of being able to rest in the inn, Erbao's footsteps also became brisk, and he found Lynch drinking tea in the tea shed with only a stick of incense, and glanced around, the guests in the tea shed who were drinking tea in the tea shed because of the rain were busy making a respectful look, and stepped forward with a short body, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, I just went to find a suitable inn on the street next to me, you see why we will go over, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while, don't make you frosty again." ”
"Alas, that's the only way to go, wait until you get to the inn, and then change your clothes. Lynch wrung his eyebrows, looked at the raindrops dripping outside the tea shed, and pulled the soft satin robe with a good texture on his body, muttered as if he was a little distressed, raised his hand and took out a few coppers from his purse and threw them on the table, and followed Erbao out of the tea shed.
Lynch's tea shed was built on a wall in the courtyard facing the street, surrounded by a curtain made of bamboo to block the wind, and there was a stove to boil water on the inside, so even if it was drizzling outside, sitting inside, it was as warm as spring.
As soon as he suddenly walked out of the tea shed and stood in the raindrops, Lynch felt as if he was back in winter, and thought of the wet clothes on Erbao's body, and couldn't help but be a little worried about his body and said: "It's such a cold rain, why don't you wait at the inn, how can you be better if you are sick?"
In the end, it's spring, even if Erbao feels cold when he first gets drenched in the rain, and after raining for so long, he will adapt to not feeling cold, at this time, he saw Lynch staring at his soaked clothes, he was very worried, wiped the rain on his face with his backhand, and said with a smile: "It's a cloudy day, and it's raining again, and I don't know when it will stop......
I'm worried that you're waiting too anxiously in the tea shed, and I'm afraid that even if you leave a code, it won't be easy for you to find, so I saw that Xiao Yixuan had entered the inn, so I came to look for you first. ”
"You're really sincere. Lynch was quite moved and raised his hand to pat Erbao's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Okay, let's take a few steps quickly, and we can get to the inn." After speaking, he snatched the burden on Erbao's shoulders and lost weight for Erbao.
Erbao hurriedly waved his hand and took back the burden on his back, "This can't let you carry it, you are dressed as a businessman, and I am dressed as a porter, if you, the master, carry the burden, isn't it a problem for people to see it!"
It's not heavy, and I'm not going to be able to carry it. ”
In the end, Erbao also exaggeratedly straightened his chest, clenched his fists, and made a strong gesture to reassure Lynch.
Lynch and Erbao have been on an errand in the Fourth Master's Mansion for a few years, and they know that although Erbao has a good temper, when he makes up his mind, it can definitely be regarded as a stone in a pit - it smells bad and hard, and he doesn't listen to persuasion at all, so he doesn't bother with anyone's baggage, he shook his head with a smile, and walked forward with Erbao's footsteps.
――――
Seeing that Lynch was keeping up with the footsteps, Erbao also sped up, and soon led Lynch to the corner of the guest house, and hurriedly pointed to the young man who was still collecting customers in the rain in the distance, and turned around and said, "That......
That's the inn where Xiao Yixuan's kid stays. ”
"It's here, this kid can really go, is this going to go all over Tongzhou Mansion!" Lynch wiped the rain from his face with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and complained.
Erbao was also very tired, and when he saw the plaque of the inn at this time, he felt a sense of relief, and while wiping the rain on his face, he nodded thoughtfully, and laughed and mocked: "Who said it wasn't!"
This man can really walk, he can ride a horse for so long, he can walk so many miles, he has circled around this dock two or three times, and if it hadn't rained suddenly, I'm afraid he would have to keep walking, I wonder if his leg was made of iron!"
"You said he kept going around the docks?" Lynch listened to what Erbao said, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to grab Erbao's sleeve and asked sharply.
"That's right, it's been two or three laps, and it's raining, so I found such an inn to live in. Erbao was stumbled by Lynch's sudden movement, and seeing that Lynch's face was a little wrong, he couldn't help but take a small step back in fear, and replied in a small voice.
At the same time, Erbao was also a little worried that the pedestrians around him would notice the suspicious conversation between them, so he looked around left and right.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Let's hurry up and take a look at the inn, I suspect that Xiao Yixuan is looking for someone. Lynch also found that this was not the place to speak, so he pulled the stunned Erbao, then carried the hem of his robe, and ran to the "guest house" with a roar.
Erbao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
Isn't it, to say that a person walks all over the street in a depressed mood, it is naturally walking around aimlessly, how can he keep going around in circles around a certain place!
It's just that Xiao Yixuan's circle is a little big, and Erbao and Lynch have been following him for a while, which will make them ignore this, and only when his head is convulsed, he blindly follows stupidly.
The most important thing is that Erbao thought that Xiao Yixuan had come back to his senses after being drenched in the rain, so he left Xiao Yixuan alone in the inn and turned back to find Lynch.
Thinking of these possibilities, Lynch and Erbao couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious, if they could persist any longer, maybe there would not be such a mistake, especially Lynch, if he wasn't tired and went to the tea shed to rest, he wouldn't have made Erbao turn back to him, if he had been following Xiao Yixuan, he wouldn't have missed such a clue!
The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself, and his steps were a little flustered.
