Chapter 16: The Snake

Xin Huilan made a very generous move, and there were ten taels of silver in the baggage in addition to the dried meat and thin dough cakes, and Yuan Fang finally figured out the specific value of these ten taels of silver after a side knock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main currency in circulation in this world is copper coins, but in the middle is the garden hole, which is like a copper pad, and it is thinner, with the imperial year name on it, generally a copper coin is a penny, and there are some special copper coins, which are equivalent to a hundred wen, but there are very few copper coins.

In addition to copper coins, the most common is silver, a thousand Wen can be exchanged for a tael of silver, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for a tael of gold, of course, silver and gold are both weighing currencies, unless a large transaction, few people usually use it. Referring to the price comparison, Yuan Fang analyzed and concluded that a penny is about the same as the current one dollar, one tael of silver is a thousand yuan, and ten taels is equivalent to ten thousand yuan, so Xin Huilan's handwriting is definitely not small, and it is tens of thousands as soon as she makes a move, which can definitely be regarded as a wealthy family.

That night, the two of them looked for a place to spend the night again, it was still the old rule, Yang Xing, who was dressed as a scholar, entered the village to look for a target, and Yuan Fang led the horse and waited at the entrance of the village, but this time Yuan Fang had a big-faced dog behind him.

Yang Xingwen is polite and can speak well, and most people are not very defensive about readers, so after a while, this product ran back, and said with a smile that he found a big family to spend the night this time.

Yuan Fang pointed to the big-faced dog squatting on the ground not far behind him: "This thing has been following, what should I do?" ”

Yang Xing blinked his eyes and tentatively walked towards the big-faced dog, the big-faced dog was very vigilant, turned around and ran, but he didn't run far and stopped to look at the two, slowly approaching, always maintaining a safe distance.

After several attempts, Yang Xing said with a dejected face: "Don't worry about it for now, let's go." ”

Indeed, as Yang Xing said, the person I was looking for this time was quite wealthy, that guy, the courtyard carved beams and painted buildings, Qiongtai Yuyu, Biwa Zhu eaves, and layers of terraces, uh, a little too exaggerated, the actual situation is a high-walled compound, blue bricks and tiles, there are more than 20 houses, there are a lot of people, and they are also very particular about dressing, and even Yuan Fang thinks that these people are wearing several grades stronger than Cunzheng Yuqing.

The master did not show up, and the old housekeeper welcomed the two in, but the old housekeeper couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the two horses led by Yuan Fang, but he didn't say anything, and specially instructed the servant to take care of the horses, so he took the two to the guest room.

It's no wonder that the old housekeeper was surprised, horses can be regarded as luxury goods in this world, just like the concept of the current car, and the horse given by Qin Huilan is even more of the highest quality, which is equivalent to a luxury car.

Let's put it this way, have you ever seen someone driving a luxury car to the countryside to pretend to be poor? Have you ever seen someone begging in a luxury car? It is estimated that there are many people like this, it should be a personal hobby, and the old housekeeper thinks so.

Yuan Fang was still shirtless, and the old housekeeper naturally regarded him as Yang Xing's servant, and the treatment was naturally different, for example, Yang Xing's room was a serious guest room, although the furniture was not luxurious, it was all available, the bed was covered with a mattress, and there was a wooden barrel bathtub in the house. Yuan Fang's place of residence was much worse, although the room was not small, but it was with two subordinates, and there was not even a decent table in the house except for a few boxes for clothes.

In contrast, Yuan Fang lives in the same way as an inn, basically no private space, Yang Xing lives in almost a suite, all-weather hot water supply, luxury bed, if there is a special service or something, it would be more perfect, hehe.

It stands to reason that Yuan Fang and the others are rich now, and they can spend some money to find a family to stay at will, but silver is a weighing currency as I said before, and Xin Huilan gives one or two silver ingots, so you can't just give someone one or two silver for one night, right? Of course, you can also make silver ingots into broken silver, but that is a bit of a waste, when you exchange silver ingots in the money bank, you can exchange a lot of copper coins more than broken silver, and the most important thing is that these silver Yuan Fang is still very useful, so you can save it.

After sleeping in the open for so many days, it is already very good to have a bed to sleep in, and Yuan Fang is not picky, but when he saw Yang Xing's villain's face, he was very unhappy and very unhappy.

Yang Xing also pretended to invite Yuan Fang to live with him, but Yuan Fang decisively refused, not to mention it when there was no condition, now that there are conditions, who wants to sleep with a big man? If someone misunderstands it for a friend, you won't be able to wash it off even if you jump into the distilled water.

Dinner was not bad, a meat, a vegetarian and a bowl of fish soup, the two of them quickly dried up a large pot of rice, and the dishes were eaten cleanly, not even a little vegetable soup left, so that when Yuan Fang sent the empty bowl to the kitchen with his stomach, the cook thought that it had been washed, and she was full of relief and put it directly on the bowl rack.

Early the next morning, the two people who were thick-skinned than the city wall had breakfast and thanked the master and said goodbye, and the old housekeeper sent the two to the door, and the two took the horse and waved goodbye with great gratitude.

Out of the village, the two still walked side by side, the country road is not wide, the two of them accounted for almost half of the road, but the two insisted, because no one wanted to follow behind, for fear that the horse in front of them would trample, if they were kicked on the head by the hard toes, they would have to be directly opened.

Not far out of the village, Yang Xing smiled with relief, the big-faced dog appeared again and followed the two, Yang Xing threw a piece of jerky to the big-faced dog: "Boss, where did you say this guy slept last night?" I heard the village dog barking all the time last night, this thing can't be doing something bad, right? ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes: "Don't you think you're managing too much?" Space, even dogs need their own space. ”

There was nothing to say all the way, that night, the two missed the village and could only sleep in the mountains, the weather was too hot and there was no fire, so they just nibbled on some jerky and flatbread to make do, of course, there was nothing else to eat if they didn't make do. After the meal, Yang Xing pestered Yuan Fang to chat, and threw food to the big-faced dog.

Yang Xingxue was obedient, this time he didn't throw all his brains away, but bit by little, and the distance he threw was getting closer and closer, I don't know if the big-faced dog was greedy or felt that the two of them had no malicious intent, and gradually approached unconsciously, but in the end he still kept a distance of two meters and never moved forward, but Yang Xing was very excited, because his jerky hook dog plan has made great progress, and success is far away.

During the night, the two were tired of chatting and fell asleep unconsciously, and in the middle of the night, they were suddenly woken up by a rapid barking of dogs, and then found that the two horses on a leash had become restless.

Yuan Fang, who was in a daze, scratched his head and was confused: "What's the matter?" You go check it out. ”

Yang Xing rolled over: "Maybe it's convenient, let me sleep for a while." ”

The big-faced dog still barked, Yuan Fang sobered up a lot, frowned and said, "Something is wrong, is there something?" Hearing this, Yang Xing immediately got up, took out a dagger from his boots, and looked around vigilantly.

The night sky was clear, the moonlight was shining on the earth, and the nearby scenery was faintly visible, but they didn't find anything, and the two were puzzled.

Suddenly, Yuan Fang listened: "Did you hear any movement?" ”

Yang Xing was stunned for a moment, pointed to the big-faced dog that barked wildly and scolded, "You shut up for me." The big-faced dog seemed to understand the general aggrieved whimper, and really stopped barking.

Hiss, hiss, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing glanced at each other, stood up violently and ran away, Yuan Fang shouted: "Damn, there is a snake." ”

Yang Xing was even more exaggerated, screaming and running away, until he ran onto the country road, he didn't stop until he ran onto the countryside, patting his heart and pale: "Boss, run, if you are bitten, you will die." ”

Yuan Fang is also afraid of snakes, but he can't go, the horse and the silver are still there, although I don't know if the snake eats silver, but if the two horses are bitten to death, it will be a big loss.

Yuan Fang listened carefully, determined the direction and approximate distance of the sound, and said urgently: "Hurry up and light the fire and drive it away." ”

Yang Xing cried and said, "Boss, there is no flint." ”

Yuan Fang took a deep breath: "Then you help me find a longer stick, preferably with a fork." "For the silver, for the sake of the two horses, for, uh, anyway, Yuan Fang decided to fight, and swore to defend private property to the death.

Yang Xing looked around, he was about to cry, there was barren grassland nearby, only there were two lonely small trees in the place where the horse was bolted, where to find a stick in the middle of the night.

At this moment, the hiss was rapidly approaching, and by the moonlight, Yuan Fang saw a big snake more than one meter long swimming towards him, and Yuan Fang's frightened hairs stood on end.

It was a graceful snake, winding in the silver moon river, its shining body dancing its tongue and wagging its tail to bite me.

The big snake was not good, the purpose was clear, and he instantly realized the sorrow of the death of the person and the money was not spent, Yuan Fang immediately made a decision and fled without a fight.

Whatever dignity as a man, go to his uncle's. At the moment when Yuan Fang was about to turn around and flee, a black line jumped into the air, just like the enthusiasm of an insurance worker.

Yuan Fang was shocked, seeing that his life was in danger but there was nothing he could do, the speed of the big snake was too fast, and he didn't even have time to dodge.

Just when the hideous snake head was less than a foot away from Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang could even see the two poisonous fangs in the snake's mouth, and at the moment of life and death, a larger black shadow came first, and a huge dog head came into view, and the big-faced dog arrived in time, biting the big snake, and then twisting its neck hard, throwing it out far away.

Yuan Fang could see clearly that at the moment when the big-faced dog shook his head, the snake's head twisted and took a bite on the big-faced dog's face.

Yuan Fang stood in place in a daze, looking at the big-faced dog in front of him who was grinning in the direction of the big snake, he never thought that it was the big-faced dog that jumped out at the critical moment and saved him.

Yang Xing's eager voice sounded: "Boss, boss, what's wrong?" Are you okay? ”

Yuan Fang shook his head: "I'm fine, I just don't know if the big-faced dog is okay, it was bitten by a snake." ”

Yang Xing exclaimed: "Huh? Let's see if it's a poisonous snake. Yuan Fang rolled his eyes, how do you look at this black light, the snake was thrown out and hid in the grass and didn't come out, Yuan Fang didn't want to throw himself into the net.

Finally stayed up until dawn, and the big-faced dog lay listlessly at Yuan Fang's feet, which made Yang Xing feel distressed. Carefully breaking a branch from the tree, Yuan Fang fiddled with the grass to see what was going on, at least to see if it was a poisonous snake. The hard work paid off, and the snake was quickly found, which should be the corpse of the snake to be exact.
