Chapter 572: Big Stone
With the silver in his arms, Li Xiaobai walked towards the monk.
He didn't want to go too fast, he just wanted to take advantage of this kung fu to rest and move his muscles and bones. To be honest, sitting in the small space of the boat all the time is a kind of torture for both the body and the spirit.
It's not impossible to sit on a boat, go down the river, and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, but you can't stay on the boat day by day, it's too scary.
Therefore, now that there is such a rare opportunity to walk on the road in a down-to-earth manner, Li Xiaobai naturally has to cherish it. Therefore, his current speed of walking while humming a song is probably not much different from the walking speed of the old man practicing Tai Chi in the park.
However, even though Li Xiaobai had tried his best to stall for time, he really overestimated the distance between the monk and the place where they stopped the boat. He hadn't gone far, and after rounding a small hill, he saw a small village, and when he saw this, he walked straight over.
"Hello, big brother. I want to ask, is this a monk? After passing, Li Xiaobai found a man who looked more kind, pulled him and asked.
The man spoke in an accented voice, and said, "Yes, this is Monk Zhuang, where did you hit this baby?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”
Li Xiaobai smiled and said very politely: "It's such a big brother, I'm not a person who lives around here, I just want to take a boat to another place, pass by your monk village, and prepare to buy something here." I don't know if my eldest brother knows which of your stores sells dry food and wine? ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but he said quietly on the surface: "Oh, it turned out to be someone from other places." Hey, every family has dry food, if you don't have it, you can steam it, and the wine is ...... Our common people can brew it in their own homes. ”
"Yes, you can." Li Xiaobai nodded: "I want a little wine and water." ”
The man waved his hand, "You have to buy dry food and wine, but it seems that your clothes are quite expensive, and you have to drink separate water and refuse to drink river water, I guess you are a rich boy, and there is no problem with money." Don't worry, we won't cheat people, and we won't care if you ask for more money. ”
Li Xiaobai smiled, "No problem, big brother, I'm sorry for you." ”
"Okay, let's go, go to my house." The man waved his hand, turned around and left, this vigorous and resolute posture made Li Xiaobai stunned for a moment.
"Yo, Brother Dashi, didn't you say you were going out for a walk? Why did you come back? As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, a young man in his twenties greeted him, and pointed to Li Xiaobai, who was following behind the big stone, "Who is this kid, why haven't you seen it before?" ”
The position of the young man and Da Shi was very clever, and Li Xiaobai's line of sight on the young man's right hand was just blocked by Da Shi's strong body. So Li Xiaobai naturally didn't see the young man's right hand making a strange gesture to Dashi at this time.
"Hey, you must not have seen it, this kid is from out of town, just passing by by boat." After speaking, Dashi let go of his body, took half a step back to the side, and stood beside Li Xiaobai. Dashi's stand away, Li Xiaobai's eyes naturally fell on the young man, and as a result, Dashi's right hand just left Li Xiaobai's sight and entered Li Xiaobai's blind spot.
The young man looked at Li Xiaobai while looking at Dashi's right hand with his spare eyes.
"As for me, I was going to go around for a while, but no, when I met this kid, he said that he wanted to come to our monk village to buy some dry food and wine, so I brought him back."
"Oh." The young man cooperated with Dashi's words, and nodded as if he had come to buy something, "It turns out that I came to buy something, okay, Brother Dashi, you hurry up and take this kid away, hurry up and get things for others, don't delay other people's affairs." I'll go to the village chief's house first. ”
Dashi smiled heartily and continued to walk towards the village with Li Xiaobai.
After the two left, an old man with a wrinkled face walked out of the house on the right side of the village entrance, "Xiao Ming, you saw Dashi's gesture, what to do, you know." ”
Xiao Ming, that is, the young man, nodded, "Brother Dashi said that he is one of the targets. The village chief can rest assured, I will go to them in the last small period and go directly to Brother Dashi's house to arrest this kid. You can rest well, and leave these things to our juniors. ”
"Well, be careful, don't be careless. If he really is one of the four people mentioned above, beware of his accomplices. The village chief waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Ming to leave.
After Xiao Ming received the village chief's signal, he bowed to the village chief, and then turned around and left.
………………………………………
On the other side, under the leadership of Dashi, Li Xiaobai went all the way to Dashi's house.
"Young man, you sit first, my mother-in-law is not at home, I guess she went to the next door, I'll call her." After Dashi probed his head in the house and shouted a few times, he said to Li Xiaobai apologetically: "I haven't started working in the past two days, and she has nothing to do at home during the day, so she runs out at two ends in three days." ”
Li Xiaobai is worried that he can't be lazy, there is such a good thing at this time, where does he have a reason to disagree? As soon as he heard Dashi say this, he hurriedly responded, "It's okay, you can go." ”
Dashi nodded, then turned around and left the room, leaving Li Xiaobai alone.
After Dashi left, Li Xiaobai muttered to himself: "This really treats me as some kind of rich boy, you can actually rest assured that you will leave me alone in the house, and you are not afraid that I will steal things." ”
As he spoke, Li Xiaobai stretched his waist, and then looked around the room.
"Well, a quilt, a table, a teapot but there is not even a cup, you can only use a broken bowl as a teacup, it's really ......" Li Xiaobai was about to say that the family was surrounded by four walls, but suddenly found that something was wrong, "Huh? Teacup...... A tea bowl!? Why only one? ”
Thinking about it, Li Xiaobai's heart moved, ran to the side of the kang, and spread out the quilt on the kang, "A quilt, a pillow......?" A pillow!? ”
If Dashi really has a wife, the fact that there is only one tea bowl on the table in the room may be explained by the fact that Dashi's wife does not drink tea, but there is only one futon and a pillow on the kang, so it can't be said.
"It's just...... Why did Dashi lie to me...... Li Xiaobai muttered very incomprehensibly, "Forget it, now is not the time to think so much, hurry up, otherwise if there is really any problem, it will be too late to regret it." ”
