Chapter XVIII
This really froze Chen Mu and didn't know what to say, he didn't have the heart to care about his cousin's expenses, the silver was not stolen or robbed in exchange for his life, Shao Tingda could spend it as much as he wanted, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't care about it. He was worried that Shao Tingda would be coaxed to spend five taels of silver for two hours, and be played with as a fool by the Qinglou woman.
But now it doesn't seem like he's been fooled, not to mention buying rouge for his wife, and specifically looking for a female staff officer in the Qinglou, Chen Mu really couldn't imagine that his stupid cousin was really ...... It's so romantic!
Seeing that Shao Tingda was a little embarrassed, Chen Mu waved his hand forward and asked, "What did the storyteller talk about in the tavern you said?" Three kingdoms? ”
He wanted to ask a long time ago, did the storyteller in the tavern talk about the Three Kingdoms or the Water Margin? I have the impression that Journey to the West is a novel of the Ming Dynasty, but now he can't figure it out if there is one.
"Three Kingdoms? That's all old stuff! Shao Tingda is a rough heart, when he mentioned this, his eyebrows fluttered, and he walked forward with his teeth and claws and turned his back to Chen Mu and said: "Yesterday I listened to a paragraph, which told the story of General Qi and General Yu begging for widows in Fujian!" The two generals are really majestic, and they beat the bitch to the bumpy......"
Saying that, Shao Tingda's mood suddenly became low, licked his lips and said boredly: "Brother Mu, Guangzhou is so good, I don't want to go back to the guard station, I either plough the fields or do chores for Shangguan all day long, how can I be so comfortable here, I want to drink and drink, I want to eat meat and eat meat." ”
As soon as Shao Tingda said this, Fu Yuan showed a yearning look and nodded incessantly; Shi Qi's eyes lit up, but he remained silent; However, Wei Balang's small body stepped forward from Chen Mu's side, pinched his neck and made a grimace, and said in a strange voice: "Brother Tingda, don't go back, we will see you hanged when the time comes!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the face by Shao Tingda, covering his head and hiding behind Chen Mu.
"If you want to live a comfortable life in Guangzhou, you also have to have silver to spend, just the two money in our hands are enough to spend ten days and a half months?" Chen Mu smiled, patted Shao Tingda and said, "When I go back to the guard station, I will find a way to see how to make some money, I have a bite to eat, and I won't starve you." ”
Shao Tingda raised a smile, in his eyes, his brother is capable, not to mention that he will not be hungry in the future, but he has never been hungry before. Fu Yuan's head is flexible, although the relationship with Chen Mu is far from very close, but he is the one who really tastes the sweetness, holding his fist and almost knocking Chen Mu down the street, patting his chest and saying: "The small one must only be the head of the small flag!" ”
I can also speak idioms!
Someone behind him dragged Chen Muyi's corner, and when he turned around, Wei Balang raised his face and opened his two bright eyes, and said, "Xiaoqi, I don't want to eat, can you, can you also give me a bird's gun...... Fire guns will do too! ”
Return the firecracker, I'm afraid that you stupid boy will blow yourself up!
"Okay, I've got a shot in the house, I'll go back and send you." To be honest, although Chen Mu wanted to get Wei Balang a safer refined bird gun, he liked this kid a lot, but Wei Balang's current stature was just a little taller than the bird gun, and he had to tiptoe when he loaded the gunpowder and held the whole strip of bullets, so it was difficult for him to aim with the bird gun, but the three-foot-long musket gun was more suitable, "You can be careful when you use it, don't hit people." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" The dead child raised his face and smiled like a fool, and his four small radish fingers came out, "Hit someone to cut off his head and come to Guangzhou, four taels of silver!" ”
"It's four taels of silver!" Chen Mu raised his hand and slapped him again, what kind of good children were expected to grow in their group of hills, so they simply pressed Wei Balang's shoulder and walked forward, "Go back, I'll teach you how to play guns, just practice your head, and when you grow taller, I'll give you the best bird guns!" ”
Such a fuss, but the depressing atmosphere that was previously eliminated because of the rapid return to Guangzhou Mansion was invisible.
After eating wine in the wine shop at noon, several military households listened to the stories told by the storyteller and drank until the evening, Fu Yuan went to play a little in the gambling stall, and at dusk Chen Mu returned to the inn with a few idle people, and just wanted to squint on the bed to rest for a while, then he listened to the noise in the inn, and opened the door is Bai Yuanjie's family soldier, informing them that it is time to go back to Qingyuan after the matter is done.
Chen Mu was a little puzzled, "Didn't you say you'd come back tomorrow, at this time?" ”
Go back now, go out of the city for two hours and get into the night, why don't you set off again in the morning?
It seems that after the battle of Heiling, the attitude of the Bai family soldiers towards Chen Xiaoqi has improved slightly, but it is not much better, and the family soldiers nodded and did not say much, but said: "Hundred military orders, Xiaoqi, please prepare to leave." ”
The Bai family soldier is also a messenger, and it is useless to say anything. Chen Xiaoqi can think of the reason why it is difficult to travel at night, and Bai Yuanjie also knows in his heart that there is a reason for setting off. Chen Mu didn't dig deeper, thanked the Bai family soldiers, and sent Xiao Balang to call everyone, Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan picked up Old Man Zheng, packed up and set off on the road.
Most of the people came empty-handed, at most they had swords, guns, spears and rations, and when they left, they all saluted. Chen Mu rode on a horse and wore satin leather boots, Shao Tingda had several boxes of rouge gouache in a backpack, and the rest also bought some small things, Wei Balang secretly wrapped the rock sugar red fruit in oil paper and put it in his arms, and did not forget to stuff one into the mouth of the old man Zheng who was snorting in pain.
"Sweet and sour, it doesn't hurt!"
If they came to Guangzhou Mansion after a bloody battle, they had a sense of killing, a little bit of military atmosphere, saw the prosperity of Guangzhou Mansion for two days, and then walked back from Guangzhou Mansion, the appearance of chaos was chaotic, like a group of soldiers and ruffians who grabbed things and fled the famine.
Chen Mu rode on a horse and followed the Bai family soldiers for four or five miles, only then did he get out of the densely populated intersection, and from a distance, he saw Bai Yuanjie boredly holding a horse whip and shaking the half-human-high fluffy grass on the side of the road, several Bai family soldiers stood aside to open the guard, and farther under the tree, Zhang Yongshou scolded angrily while holding a knife and slashing on the tree.
"Coming?"
Chen Mu dismounted and hugged his fists and saluted, Bai Yuanjie beckoned him to come over, opened the horse's mouth and looked at it twice, there was not much smile on his face, and said: "The northern horse is stronger than the southern horse, but it is older, five or six taels of silver, you are willing to do it!" ”
Bai Yuanjie is knowledgeable, and he guessed the price of the horse at a glance, Chen Mu nodded and smiled, and then glanced at Zhang Yongshou, just in time to see the knife slashing on the tree and breaking the knife, throwing away the handle of the knife angrily, raising his head and scolding something.
"Lao Tzu will kill them sooner or later!"
Chen Mu Nunu pouted and asked Bai Yuanjie, "What's wrong?" ”
"What could happen? was angered by the crooked nose of the civil official, and was hung by the officials for a day and a night. Bai Yuanjie glanced indifferently in Zhang Yongshou's direction, sneered and shook his head softly: "If you want to run a relationship outside the law, don't complain about other people's anger-you remember!" ”
