On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a large number of horses and carriages from Bai Qiling prepared to set off. Hua'er clasped her hands and looked at the dozens of carriages, and said to herself: "I'm afraid this is the ten-mile battle of red makeup that the storyteller mentioned, right?"
"The Bai family is indeed a great family," Ah Hui said.
"It doesn't matter how big it is, maybe it's all junk wood." Hua'er, Ah Hui, and the others hang out at the docks and other places all year round. Those who are strong enough to lift heavy things are lower, and those who are lighter are taller. She heard from the old housekeeper that the last box contained gold and silver jewelry, but the man carrying the box didn't look like he was carrying gold, silver and jewelry.
Bai Qiling is most likely going to be a fool, using fake things to exchange for a beautiful girl to come back as his wife. She didn't dare to go around the carriage, but her eyes and ears worked together to memorize all the things. What she was thinking was: If we were to be more careful in this dangerous situation, we might be able to save our lives at the critical moment.
On this day, she wore a dark blue jacket with the knot tied all the way to her neck. She tied her hair in a bun on top of her head. She had a flat front and back, and pretending to be a boy was almost fake. Because I had shed some mud at Bai Qiling's house a few days ago, I finally looked pretty. All in all, the little one is quite cute.
Bai Qiling walked up to her and slipped her collar to ask her to stand upright. He scolded her casually: "Standing up is not good enough!"
Hua'er curled her lips and retorted: "You have it, you have it."
Bai Qiling rolled his eyes at her and told her: "I made my voice thicker. Do you know why I asked you to pretend to be a boy?"
"Why?"
"The people in Huoling Mountain's eyes light up when they see a woman. Even if you are thrown into the crowd and no one takes a second look, you might still be able to make a name for yourself. Do you understand?"
Hua'er doesn't understand.
Bai Qiling nodded her forehead and said, "You are sixteen or seventeen after all, so you should learn what you need to learn!"
Hua'er turned around to ask Ah Hui, but when she saw Ah Hui's face turning red and not knowing where to look, she expected that this was not a good thing. I wanted to ask Bai Qiling again, but he had already got on the carriage and closed the door. Hua'er asked the Eagle: "Should I ride a horse or sit in a sedan?"
"You have to work hard to move your legs."
"Huh? There are so many people here, and there are three people who move their legs. Why can't I ride a horse?"
"Second Master said you are not worthy."
Hua'er was so angry that Ahu patted the seat next to him and asked Hua'er to get up and drive with him. Bai Qiling coughed inside: "Let her go." Hua'er had no choice but to jump out of the car and follow closely beside the car.
This journey out of the city broke the terror in Yanzhuo City the day before. Many people came out to watch the excitement, standing on the roadside and gesturing at the convoy, guessing what good things Mr. Bai had brought. He even talked about Hua'er: "I have never seen this little book boy, and some people say that Mr. Bai is as good as Long Yang..."
Your dog eyes are blinded! Hua'er cursed in her heart, "I just changed my body and you don't recognize me. It's a shame that I helped you run around in the past!" After finally getting out of the city, her ears were clear, but she felt cold again.
Ah Hui had a good way of driving the car, never going too fast or too slowly, which made it easier for her to follow. When encountering a bumpy road, he would remind Hua'er: "Slow down, Hua'er."
"Brother Ah Hui, run up and break Mr. Bai's butt into four pieces!" Hua'er deliberately said loudly, and those who heard it covered their mouths and did not dare to laugh out loud.
"Go on your way and don't be rude." said the riding eagle.
"Don't the personal book boys also have to sit in a sedan? Look at the young master's book boy from the previous magistrate's family. He sat in a sedan and hung out with the young master all day long. Why do I have to walk outside when I am a personal book boy? What if my hands are frozen? Studying ink? How to turn over a book? Or is Mr. Bai just not in the habit of reading and just looking for a personal book boy just to pretend to be elegant?" Hua'er was dissatisfied with this and nagged loudly.
Bai Qiling pushed open the window, grabbed Hua'er's hair and said, "The magistrate's head has been chopped off; his young master has also been sent away, do you want to learn from it?"
"Study! At least you don't have to be a ghost who freezes to death! If this slave knew that he was a walking book boy, he should have asked you for three hundred coins a day! Is this a sin that humans suffer?" She breathed a sigh of relief, and the water mist hung on her head. On the upper eyelashes between the eyebrows: "Look! I'm going to freeze into an iceman!"
The flowers are really freezing. She ran like crazy all the way out of the city, and she was running hot and cold. It was freezing cold and she ran for half an hour, but her life would be lost if she ran any longer.
"I don't care, I have to serve you closely!"
"Even if you are waiting next to me now, you will still have to come down when I pass Huoling Mountain." Haoying said to the side.
"Why?" Hua'er didn't understand: "Then what is Huoling Mountain? If I encounter bandits, can I have a carriage to run fast?"
After seeing Bai Qiling's faint gaze, Haoying realized that he was talking too much and found an excuse to ride ahead. Seeing him running away, Hua'er looked at Bai Qiling: "Second Master Bai wouldn't think of leaving me to the bandits if he met them, would he? Then why do you want me to dress up as a man? Why don't you put up a plaque that says : There is a woman in the caravan!”
"Shut up." Bai Qiling said, "Run more and grow taller!"
"Second Master, can't you see? My slave is short because he doesn't eat enough, sleep well and is too tired!"
Hua'er had also heard in the past that passing caravans were robbed, and one or two people were often left behind to be sold by bandits. It doesn't matter where it is sold, since human life is worth less than grass anyway. Bai Qiling pretended to be confused and didn't answer her even a word, which made her suspicious.
But she insisted on getting in the car, and Bai Qiling was annoyed by her yelling, so he simply complied with her wish. There was no book or anything in the car, so Bai Qiling just sat there with nothing to do.
Hua'er looked at him and saw that his eyes were half-closed, his expression less fierce, and he could actually see something human. Two thick eyebrows, a high nose, thin and red lips. This man must not open his eyes, otherwise he will become murderous and annoying.
Hua'er carefully stretched out her hand to warm herself by the fire, wondering in her heart what the hawk meant by what she said. It stands to reason that Huo Lingshan should move forward at full speed, why should she be held back outside? There must be some fraud in this. Suddenly I remembered the missing Fei Nu and wondered if there might be a connection.
As the body warms up, the intestines and stomach growl at the right time. The steamed buns packed in Baifu early in the morning were taken out of the bag and baked on the fire. He glanced at the food box on the small table and swallowed.
"Reward you. Eat." Bai Qiling said this without even opening his eyes. That look seemed to say: Eat your meal.
Of course Hua'er wanted to eat. She opened the food box and saw the delicacies inside. She picked up a piece and fed it to Bai Qiling's mouth: "Second Master, please eat first, otherwise the little one won't dare to use the chopsticks." She wanted Bai Qiling to test the poison on her.
"If you don't dare to eat it, don't eat it."
"No, Second Master, slaves have to follow the rules. You eat." Hua'er said and put the meat towards his mouth, and took advantage of Bai Qiling's opening to move it in with a chopstick. Seeing Bai Qiling opening his eyes and staring at her, he hurriedly said: "Now this slave will not break the rules if he eats again."
She didn't care about that. She needed to fill her stomach while Bai Qiling was in a good mood, otherwise he might go crazy and she would have a hard time. The meat was really delicious, the side dishes were delicious, and the porridge was delicious. Hua'er ate a few dumplings on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year, but she didn't expect to make up for it on this day. He also poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip and let out a sigh, which made him feel more at ease.
After eating and drinking, I began to feel sleepy. I tilted my head and dozed off. Bai Qiling didn't treat her as a human being, but she didn't treat him as a human being either. He looked respectful and fearful, and after closing his eyes, he scolded his ancestors for eight generations.
The two of them had their own secrets, but they got along well while riding in the same car. After crossing a mountain ridge, he didn't know what happened to provoke him to Bai Qiling, and he began to torture people.
At first, she said her neck was sore and asked Hua'er to knock her neck. How could Hua'er dare to say no? She would go over and knock her on the head. He would scold her for harsh or gentle blows, and occasionally he would turn around and knock her on the head. He knocked on the forehead with all his strength, knocking the flowers until stars appeared in his eyes. He said with a cry: "Second Master, those who know well know that I am your personal book boy, but those who don't know think I am an animal you bought! Your hands can usually fight wild beasts, right? I can bear a knock on me." ?"
"Also, Second Master, does the personal book boy still have to knock the master's neck? Is the salary still the same?"
She deliberately annoyed him, and when he raised his hand to knock on her again, she ran away and yelled: "Don't get used to knocking. Come back and knock on your wife when you come in. The slave is too thick-skinned and can't be knocked to death. That Miss Ye used to But a famous lady in Yanzhuo City, won’t you knock her unconscious with this knock?”
Bai Qiling thought she was annoying, so he found a rope to tie her up. Hua'er struggled hard, who was his opponent? He was tied up tightly and his mouth was tightly gagged.
Hua'er thought: Offal! Just wait for me! Sooner or later it will be my turn to tie you up! You see how I will deal with you when I get there!
Bai Qiling's ears were clean, and she rested there. Occasionally she glanced at the flowers leaning there, and when she saw the red rope hanging around her neck, she leaned forward, rubbed her neck with her warm fingertips, and pulled it. out. The Peace Talisman is so beautiful, of course Bai Qiling knows where it comes from.
"Do you also like your brother Fei Nu?" he asked suddenly.
