"Xiao Yu, your family lives so far away! We have been traveling for so long."
Fork in the road.
On one side to the northwest is the barren Yunqing Plateau. After a few dozen miles, you will reach Dagui Mountain. On the other side are the majestic mountains to the northeast. Among the mountains, there is Muyun Mountain on the border.
Xiaoyu pointed to the small town in front and replied: "Brother Yu, it's not far, we're almost there."
The two reined up their horses and continued walking to the town ahead, preparing to hit the top in the town.
Along the way, Xiao Yu thought in her mind: If she went directly to Muyun Mountain, it would be really difficult to deal with Brother Yu next to her. Now that we are here, it is closer to Dagui Mountain, so it is better to go back first and report to the two old guys. Peace. Furthermore, he told the two old guys in private that he had not returned to Muyun yet.
Go to the mountains and ask the two old guys to keep Brother Yu in Daguishan for a while, and then go to Muyun Mountain first and then return.
After thinking about it, Xiaoyu took Yu Liufei to have lunch in the town, and then turned back and walked northwest.
The town is called Tama Town, and the tavern is called 'Town Tavern'.
The two of them watched the people coming and going on the street in the small thatched shed built on the eaves outside the tavern.
A stack of fried peanuts, a plate of beef stew, two bowls of white rice, a pot of wine, two people.
The winter in the north is cold, so the wine I drink is a bit stronger than that in the south.
"Come on, Brother Yu, let's drink." Xiao Yu picked up the wine glass and said to Yu Liufei.
Yu Liufei chewed the beef in his mouth twice, swallowed it in one gulp, picked up the wine glass, and replied: "Drink, drink."
Yu Liufei admired Xiao Yu's cleverness. After more than ten days, he followed him along the way, eating and drinking, and enjoying himself. He was much more comfortable than when he was walking around the world alone. Those who are on the road have no time to go out and eat.
Drink, only follow Xiao Yu. There is no shortage of food and drink on the way. The only flaw is that Xiao Yu loves to be clean more than Master and himself, so he forces himself to change into several clean clothes.
Xiaoyu pointed to the ridge to the west and said to Yu Liufei: "After passing this ridge, we can reach Dagui Mountain tomorrow. We estimate that we can reach Hejia Village tomorrow afternoon, and then we will reach my home. It will be a hard journey. Brother Yu is here to keep you company."
Yu Liufei waved his hands repeatedly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother, don't say that. Master asked you and me to travel around the world. I have enjoyed a lot of blessings with you. Please don't be polite to me in the future."
Yu Liufei brought the wine again, and the two drank it over each other.
Xiaoyu touched the silver in his arms, and there was not much left. He was afraid that he would be penniless when he got home. After he took on the seven-story disaster relief mission, the remaining thousands of taels of silver were all in the original package, and The original package was taken away by Uncle Liu. If I go back now, I am afraid that I will encounter two people from my hometown.
The guys scolded each other.
The two old guys must have been living secretly in the village again. Without money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when they go back. Thanks to the two old guys who were forced to take care of the villagers in Hejiacun, he has to go back to repay their favor. It will be difficult to do without money. .
Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, where are you? Xiao Yu thought of this and shook her head helplessly.
Yu Liufei saw Xiao Yu's worried expression and asked, "Xiao Yu, what's on your mind?"
Xiaoyu frowned and replied: "I remembered an old friend. It's okay. It's okay. Brother Yu, let's continue eating. After eating, we'll find an inn in the town and stay there first. If we have to rush on the road in the afternoon, we'll have to go out in the snow at night. I've slept here all night, why not stop here today, I guess, I'll cross over tomorrow
That ridge will definitely reach my home by tomorrow night.
Counting the days, it’s almost the New Year’s Eve. After a few days of rest at home, we can celebrate the New Year. We’re not in a hurry. "
Yu Liufei replied: "Xiao Yu, you are smart, you can arrange everything."
Xiaoyu nodded and replied with a smile: "Shall we go to a restaurant to listen to books in the afternoon?"
When Yu Liufei heard this, his eyebrows were beaming. His favorite thing was a pot of old tea, and he listened to books all afternoon. He enjoyed listening to the storyteller talk about family and country affairs and anecdotes about the world, so he replied loudly: "Okay."
Tama Town is not far from Dagui Mountain. This town is not familiar to Xiaoyu, but it is not unfamiliar either. After dinner, he took Yu Liufei up some rocky stairs, found a small inn, and settled down.
Then he took Yu Liufei to find the old teahouse he had heard about before.
I still had three taels of silver left on me, so I spent four cents to buy two elegant seats. The two of them sat down with the shouts of the crowd, and heard that the scholar was telling stories!
Xiaoyu asked Yu Liufei to listen to a book by himself. He was too lazy to listen to a book and went out to wander around, preparing to look for opportunities to make some money.
Yu Liufei thought that Xiao Yu didn't like listening to books very much, so he went out for a walk. He ignored Xiao Yu and focused on listening to books. Anyway, Xiao Yu told him that if he was tired of listening in the afternoon, he would go back to the inn by himself and they would have dinner together in the evening. That’s it.
Xiaoyu left the old tea house, thinking about how to make some money. The residents in the town were not rich, and there were few gangsters who cheated and cheated. There were only a few who had money on them, and they could be counted on their fingers. .
According to Xiao Yu's memory, there is a Gu family village in the south of this town. The owner of the village is a grain reselling merchant who came here to settle down. The young master of the Gu family is called Gu Shun. He is a good gambler. I remember last year, when he passed by here. , and also made a lot of money from that guy.
Gu Shun likes prostitutes and gambles, but he is very afraid of his father. He is a second-generation ancestor who is afraid of his father. He usually does not do anything that is harmful to nature, but he is most proud of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
You might as well go south and take a look, maybe you can get some money back from the second generation ancestor.
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is another page ^0^ It’s nice to meet my fellow countrymen.
There is only one brothel in the south of Tama Town. They are all small flower houses that are not popular. The most gambling houses and pawnshops are on South Street. I think this second generation ancestor was hanging out there. I walked to South Street to see if I can If you meet someone, maybe this money-making thing can work.
Xiaoyu held a random bamboo stalk picked up by the roadside in her mouth, held her hands in her arms, hummed a little tune, and walked leisurely to the South Street Gambling House.
At the entrance of the South Street Gambling House, I saw Gu Shun with two young boys. He was carrying a wine bottle, drinking as he walked, and went straight into the gambling house. I'm afraid it would take another hour or two to go there. .
With the little money Xiao Yu had, he was afraid that he would not be able to get through a hand of Pai Gow. It was not that he didn't know how deceptive the casino was, so he didn't go in with it.
Wander around and see if there are any other opportunities to deceive Gu Shun, the stupid and rich second generation ancestor.
On one side of the gambling house is a silk and satin shop, and next to the silk and satin shop is a tea shop, which only sells tea and nothing else.
Xiaoyu looked at the tea shop and suddenly had an idea, and walked into the tea shop with a smile.
"Oh, don't you have eyes when you walk? You stepped on me!!" When Xiao Yu turned around and was about to walk inside, a young man wearing a mink hat and a sheathed broadsword at his waist bumped into him. He frowned and cursed.
The young man turned to glance at him, ignored him, and went to North Street.
But I saw that the young man had a square face, and his nose and eyes were somewhat sunken. He didn't look like a Central Plains man. He had a slender beard and a cold and thin face, but he didn't have the slightest hint of politeness.
Xiao Yu cursed at the back: "The one with the knife is awesome, right? You bastard without eyes, I still carry the 'cheap' one!!"
The man listened and ignored Xiao Yu, gradually getting lost in the crowds of people. Xiao Yu got angry and cursed secretly, "You bastard!" He had no choice but to give up and turned around and got into the tea shop.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
