A waiter carrying a teapot came over and said, "You three, please!" He said and was seated at an empty table. "What would you like, please?"
Shen Wei said directly, "A pot of fragrant tea, four small butterflies, see red and see green!"
"Yes, I'll be there soon!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei, "What are you talking about?"
"Just a pot of tea, four small plates of melon seeds and peanuts, sweet-scented osmanthus cake and mung bean cake! Two dried fruits and two snacks!"
"Oh! That's what all the gangsters say!"
"almost!"
We didn't have much time, so we brought snacks and melon seeds, and made a pot of hot tea. "Sir, please drink first. If you need anything, call me!"
"Okay, let's go down!" Shen Wei took out ten copper coins and put them in the store's handbag and waved his hand!
There is a storyteller on stage at the moment, and he is talking about the Three Kingdoms! Zhao Xuanyi didn't care about any of this. He looked at the people on the left and right and saw that few of them were listening seriously, and they were all chatting in low voices about their own affairs!
Zhao Xuanyi gave Shen Wei a look. Shen Wei turned around and looked at the table behind him. He saw two middle-aged men. They only ordered a plate of peanuts and a large bowl of tea, and they were chatting!
"Brothers, can I ask you something?" Shen Wei said politely.
"Ah, tell me!"
"We came from Shanxi and were going to Shandong, but when we got to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the road was blocked. Do you know what happened?"
"Ah, you ask this! Didn't I hear that someone went up the mountain a while ago and said they picked up some treasure? Porcelain or jade? Then the prefect closed the mountain and stopped others from going up the mountain. I heard that they sent out troops. We ordinary people Who dares to go against the government? As time goes by, no one will care!"
"Who says it's not the case? Besides, there's nothing on the Lingshan Mountain! There's no fields to farm, no vegetables to grow, so no one cares about it!"
"Oh! Thank you!" After Shen Wei said this, he turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi.
The more Zhao Xuanyi listened, the more confused he became! How can one person say the same thing? Some herbs, some gold, silver and jade? Could it be that he discovered a treasure? It shouldn’t be! It took them so long to find the treasure map. They couldn't find it so easily, could they?
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Nanzhu, "Let's go, you can't hear anything here!"
"Yes!" Nan Zhu took out the handkerchief, put the snacks on the buns, and then walked out of the teahouse together!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the silk handkerchief in Nanzhu's hand and said, "It wasn't the same one last time!"
Nan Zhu's face turned red. She knew that Zhao Xuanyi was talking about the handkerchief they had on their first night. Nan Zhu gave Zhao Xuanyi a blank look, lowered his head and stopped talking!
The three of them got on the carriage. Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei sat outside. Shen Wei looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Young Master, something is wrong! I guess if you find another person, what you say will be different!"
"I always feel like these messages were told intentionally by someone!"
"Why?"
"To confuse others! The matter of sealing the mountain is true, but other things are not necessarily true! If there is really a treasure on this mountain that is discovered, even the prefect has no right to seal the mountain? This belongs to the country, he Can a prefect represent the country?"
"Then...what do you plan to do, young master?"
"This...?" Zhao Xuanyi frowned. He has heard too many versions now and cannot be used as a reference at all! Having no clues is a problem, but having too many clues is also a problem!
The carriage was walking slowly and leisurely, and suddenly a few people jumped out from the street and immediately stopped the carriage. Shen Wei was so frightened that he pulled the reins and the horse stopped!
Zhao Xuanyi almost fell down and was very angry! I jumped out of the carriage and was about to curse, but I saw four beggars standing in front of the carriage, three boys and one girl. They looked young, they looked like teenagers!
"Uncle, we haven't eaten for three days, please give us something to eat!"
"Please! Good people must be rewarded!"
Although these remarks were made everywhere he went, Zhao Xuanyi had different feelings. He saw that the hair of the four children was messy and their clothes were full of patches, especially a few children.
There was a gaping wound on his hand, and you could tell at a glance that it wasn’t just an act! ..
Nanzhu opened the curtain and saw a few beggars. He slowly took out the handkerchief, which contained the snacks he had just eaten at the teahouse! "Here, take it and share it!"
When the four children saw the food, they hurried over and said, "Thank you, sister!" The four children took the heart and threw it directly into their mouths, regardless of whether their hands were dirty or not!
Zhao Xuanyi saw several children gobbling up the snacks. They seemed to be unable to eat enough. "Follow the carriage, and I will take you to eat!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he jumped on the carriage!
"Really? Thank you, sir!" The four children followed closely behind the carriage!
"Brother Shen, I remember there was a stall at the intersection just ahead, go and have a look!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei drove to the stall and saw that it was selling steamed buns and large bowls of tea.
When the boss saw the four beggars coming, he was very angry, "Ganggun, you don't have money to come here and eat for free? How did your parents educate you? Don't delay my business! Get out of here!"
Zhao Xuanyi frowned when he heard this, got off the carriage and walked over [Pa! ] A slap hit the boss on the face, "Who are you scolding? How much taller are you than others? Give me fifty buns, hurry up!" Zhao Xuanyi cursed loudly.
"You dare to hit me?" the stall owner shouted, covering his face!
Zhao Xuanyi took out a piece of silver and two taels from his arms and threw it on the table. "I'm treating you today. Hurry up and serve me the buns! If you don't treat me well, I'll beat you!"
The bun seller looked at the two taels of silver and thought that he might not be able to earn so much in a year? He smiled quickly and said, "Wait a moment! Come right away!"
Nanzhu also got out of the car, "You four, go wash your hands before eating, otherwise you'll get all the dirt in your mouth!"
"Yeah!" The four children were very obedient and went to get water to wash their hands. Then they sat on the table. The boss brought over two plates of meat buns. The four children reached out to grab them and ate them.
"Bring four more bowls of tea!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Here we come!" I thought to myself, if you have money, you are the master!
A large bowl of tea was brought over and placed on the table. "Take a sip and don't choke. You can eat as much as you want today. You don't have to worry about how much it costs!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Yes!" The four children ate the buns in one bite and the tea in the other. They enjoyed it very much!
Zhao Xuanyi also picked up a steamed bun and started eating it. Shen Wei frowned when he saw it, "Can you still eat it?" After lunch, he had snacks and tea, and now he's eating steamed buns!
"Seeing how delicious they are, I want to eat them. Would you like one?"
Shen Wei immediately waved his hand, he really couldn't eat anymore!
"Uncle, where did you come from?" one of the boys said.
"Ah, we are doing business in Shanxi, and we want to be in Shandong!"
The boy's eyes rolled, "Did you take a detour? Lingshan won't let you go, right?"
"What? You know it too?"
"How could you not know? We used to go up the mountain to collect some medicinal materials to sell, but since they closed the mountain, we have no way to survive!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, as expected! The people at the bottom only have this way to earn living expenses. "Do you know why they closed the mountains?"
"..." When the four children heard this, they were all stunned. They looked at each other with horror and fear in their eyes. Then they lowered their heads and continued eating buns!
Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei exchanged glances. Why do they feel that something is wrong with these children? Zhao Xuanyi gave Shen Wei a look, and Shen Wei nodded, then walked to a nearby shop, bought two roast chickens, brought them over, and put them on the table, "Eat!".b.
When the four children saw the roasted chicken, they took action quickly. The roasted chicken was cut into eight pieces. It was too horrible to watch! The one who dies is called a dead body!
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Don't worry, eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll buy it for you. Then... little brother, can you tell me why this Lingshan is closed? It's not convenient for us to walk back and forth. Do you know the reason?"
The little boy who was eating roast chicken raised his head and looked at Zhao Xuanyi. Before he could say anything, tears fell down!
"Hey? Don't worry, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?
? "Zhao Xuanyi asked hurriedly.
The little boy wiped the tears on his face and turned to look at the other little boy next to him. "Xiaoba, open your mouth and let me see it!"
The man didn't speak, swallowed the food in his mouth, stood up, came to Zhao Xuanyi, and opened his mouth!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what was going on. When he looked carefully, his eyes widened in the next moment, as if he saw an evil ghost, and his face turned pale [Pa! ] With a sound, Zhao Xuanyi was so frightened that he fell from his chair to the ground!
