Chapter 17 Hire a car
The old man held a cloth bag in his hand, looked at the backs of Liu Yong and Xiao Yingying running in a daze, shook his head, and sighed: "What a weirdo, no, what a capable person." After speaking, he suddenly shouted again: "Wow, I want to buy something." "Looking around, there are only a few people left in the huge market. Most of the vendors have withdrawn, and they only make snacks if they stay. Because some people stop by to eat here, especially some vendors who buy and sell well, they must have a good meal to celebrate.
The old man looked at the things he wanted to buy, and all the stalls were closed, and he was in a hurry.
"Be obedient, if you can't buy anything back, you will be scolded by the old woman."
Liu Yong took Yingying's hand and came directly to the meatloaf stall.
The boss already knew that Liu Yong, who was ridiculed by him, was the one who did prize sales. Now after seeing Liu Yong, the original red face with a fat head and big ears immediately turned red and black at this time.
"Boss, didn't you say I couldn't afford to eat meatloaf?" Liu Yong asked with a smile.
"Where, where, is that I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I don't know Mount Tai." The boss laughed wryly.
Liu Yong's dark eyes rolled slightly, and said, "Bring me six first." Dozens of copper plates were thrown on the greasy dining table.
The boss's face darkened, but he could only smile and put away the money to make cakes.
"Then you sit first, sit first."
Liu Yong and Yingying picked up a small table and sat down, and the boss's meatloaf came up.
"Slow to use." The boss's face was dark all the time, but he smiled flatteringly. Liu Yong didn't pay attention to him. This made the boss a little embarrassed. I had to walk away stupidly.
Yingying quickly picked up a meatloaf and put it in her nose to smell it, and sighed, "It's so fragrant." ”
"Does it smell like the fish your uncle grilled?" Liu Yong asked with a smile.
Ying Ying's big dark eyes rolled and smiled: "Of course not." After speaking, he opened his mouth and was about to bite, but his white teeth stopped at the steaming meatloaf.
"Why don't you eat it?" Liu Yong was a little strange, although he knew that Yingying had just said that the fish he grilled was delicious. Because the fish has no other taste than burnt aroma. Yingying, this girl is smart, how can she break her uncle's heart?
Ying Ying put away her mouth, smiled, and then handed the meatloaf to Liu Yong's mouth.
"Uncle, you eat first." Yingying's voice was as crisp as a lark.
Liu Yong looked at the meatloaf in front of him and Yingying's beautiful big blinking eyes, and his nose was sour and he almost burst into tears. He was really touched. To be honest, when he traveled to the Great Song Dynasty, he always felt a little bit of fear and loneliness in his heart. Although Li Xinniang, Yun'er and Yingying are his relatives. In fact, in his heart, he has not yet accepted all this. The relatives in his heart are still his parents and sisters in later generations. The thought of never seeing them again seeped out of his heart like water, making him feel extremely lonely and helpless. In this way, there are some similar grievances stored silently in the bottom of my heart.
At this time, the little girl in front of her was so good to herself, let him eat it first, and immediately aroused the grievances in her heart.
"Uncle, why are you in tears?" Yingying doesn't know what happened to her uncle.
Liu Yong hurriedly wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "It's okay, uncle is fine, Yingying eat quickly, uncle eats by himself." "Pick up the meatloaf.
"Official, you are really powerful, have you made a lot of money in this moment?" The boss touched his big belly and asked half-jokingly with a black face.
"The goods are all from other people, so you can make hard-earned money." Money cannot be leaked, Liu Yong still understands this truth. In fact, he really made a lot of money. Siguan money is equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan in modern times. This money is enough for him and Yingying to go to Meizhou City.
Liu Yong said this, and the boss naturally didn't believe it. He pouted, and went back to making his patty, for four or five more bread eaters came. sat at the adjacent table, and they all secretly watched Liu Yong and then gathered to discuss, chattering as if they were plotting. Liu Yong naturally understood that these people were talking about themselves. Because in just two hours, Liu Yong has become the star of the Lijiacun market. Many people want to take a look at him and see if he is a human or a god. Especially the girls, who were embarrassed to see it, had to go home with a loss in the end. At night, I didn't know that there would be a dream of Liu Yong for a young girl.
Liu Yong didn't care, in his consciousness he was a person who had seen a big scene. For now, he was just concentrating on watching Ying Ying eat. Yingying still eats so seriously and intoxicated, even the spring breeze disturbs her delicate sideburns and hair.
What does it mean to be true? The child's behavior is called true, really pure, pure without a trace of impurities. This is the most touching thing.
Liu Yong couldn't help but reach out to help Yingying tuck her messy hair behind her ears. A surging feeling of love rose in my heart. Now, he really treats Yingying as his own child. He didn't know why. It can only be explained as fate.
In fact, in Xiao Yingying's heart, why doesn't she regard Liu Yong as her father? It's just that she hasn't realized it yet.
"Uncle, why don't you eat it?" Ying Ying asked with a young and pure timbre.
"Uncle was very happy when he saw Yingying eating. Eat quickly, eat another one when you're done. Liu Yong also said softly.
"yes, okay." Yingying's face bloomed with joy. He ate it again. He seemed to choke on eating too quickly, and coughed like a click.
"Boss, hurry up and get a bowl of water." Liu Yonganxious shouted.
The boss hurriedly brought a bowl of water and handed it to Liu Yong. Liu Yong gave Yingying a few sips slowly before stopping the cough. Seeing Yingying's tears due to coughing, Liu Yong's heart ached slightly.
"Yingying, don't be in a hurry, eat slowly."
"Yes, uncle." Goo Dong Gu Dong drank a small bowl of water.
"Official, do you still want slurry water? You can scoop it yourself! The boss saw that Yingying was really thirsty, and at the same time he was a little stammered with Liu Yong. Liu Yong went over and scooped another bowl.
While eating, Liu Yong asked the boss if there was a rental carriage nearby. The boss shook his head and said, "This is the bazaar, where are the carriages for rent." After thinking about it, he said, "However, officials can go to the nearby village to have a look, and maybe they can rent it." ”
Listening to what the boss said, Liu Yong was worried again, he couldn't hire a car if he didn't have money. He swallowed the last bite of meatloaf and looked around, the people in the market were almost gone.
"What can I do about this, do I have to keep walking?" Liu Yong's heart was shrouded in gloom. He looked around blankly, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, the old man. An idea came to my head: Isn't this a ready-made carriage?
Seeing that Yingying had finished eating, he took the remaining meatloaf and pulled Yingying and ran. I heard the boss behind me shouting: "Official, give too much money." But Liu Yong had no intention of turning back at all. The boss picked up the money and shook his head, muttering: "What a weirdo in a hurry, no, a capable person." ”
The old man was losing his soul in the carriage, and it seemed that he had bought nothing. I was not angry when I saw Liu Yong coming, so I ignored it. Liu Yong hurriedly helped.
"It's all your fault, Xiao Langjun, for missing my big deal." The old man couldn't help it and had to complain.
Liu Yong smiled and didn't speak, he knew that now that this old man was angry, it was better to provoke him less, so let him let him spill his anger in his stomach to do things.
After setting up the car, the old man sat in the front of the car and was about to leave. At this time, Liu Yong stopped in front of the horse.
"Hey, I said you didn't want to die." The old man shouted.
Liu Yong smiled, still didn't speak, and got into the carriage with Yingying in his arms. The old man quit, clamoring and saying that he wouldn't pull Liu Yong anymore.
Liu Yong smiled and just didn't get out of the car.
"I'll whip you with a horsewhip if you don't get out of the car." The old man's eyes widened, and the whip was raised.
Liu Yong still smiled, but this time he also added a move to pay for it. Smack, two strings of money were thrown in front of the old man's eyes.
"Two pieces of money, send our uncle and nephew to Meizhou City." Liu Yong still smiled.
Looking at Qian and Liu Yong's smiling faces, the old man's anger was like a meteor, and it disappeared in an instant. He lowered his voice and said, "It's nearly two hundred miles away from Meizhou City." It's too far away for me to go. His eyes were fixed on the two strings of money.
Liu Yong still didn't speak, his eyes looked around, there were still a few carriages like this, but they were just loaded with goods, and he seemed confident to persuade the owner to unload the goods and rent them to him.
The old man also seemed to understand Liu Yong's intentions from Liu Yong's calm eyes and expression, in fact, Liu Yong did this on purpose, the purpose was to let the old man know that his carriage was not the only choice.
"This, this, it's okay to drag your uncle and nephew away, but it's just ......" The old man immediately relented.
Liu Yong was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Uncle, I know what you are worried about, are you afraid that your family will worry?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
"That's easy, you look here and see if there are any people close to your village, I'll pay him to send a letter to your family." Liu Yong gave a solution.
As soon as he heard Liu Yong's plan, the old man immediately put the two pieces of money in the cyst. Ma went to find someone.
"Uncle, are we the old Bethora?" Yingying still looked worried.
"yes, he promised to pull us."
got an affirmative answer, and Le's Yingying clapped her little hands.
Liu Yong was also happy, and he began to think about what would happen after he arrived in Meizhou. Although this carriage is a board cart, it cannot compete for shelter from the wind and rain, and it is still an old horse, but at least it is much faster than a person. It is estimated that the 200-mile road can be reached in fifteen or sixteen hours.
"Yingying, can my uncle buy some food for you to eat on the way?" Liu Yong is afraid that Yingying will be bored on the road, and children just like to eat.
"Okay." Yingying naturally rejoiced.
Liu Yong went to buy some candy for Yingying. At this time, the old man also found someone, Liu Yong paid a hundred yuan, and the old man was relieved to set up the carriage and drive away.
"I said Lang Jun, you really have a set, you don't have a penny on you, you are stunned to make you earn several times, I really admire the old decay." The old man admired from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Yong smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a small skill of carving insects." Insufficient to hang teeth. ”
"I'm a good man, could it be that you have more powerful means?" The old man began to marvel.
"No, I'm just talking about it." Liu Yong didn't want to discuss these issues with the old man, because he was thinking about the future. How to earn the five hundred taels of silver is the most important thing.
The old man didn't want to stop, and said: "If we don't get to Meizhou City, it's the third watch, and the city gate will be closed." Fortunately, it's not so cold now, and it's okay to sleep outside for a night. If this is a cold winter, you will suffer. ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Yong was excited, he didn't want Yingying to sleep outside.
"Aren't there any hotels outside the city?" Liu Yong asked.
"Lang Jun is talking about the inn, this old man is not clear, he hasn't been to Meizhou City for a long time."
