Mountain People

"Brother Dong Yi, how long will it take for us to find Master Xingchi? After so many days, do you think Master Xingchi has already returned?" Dong Yong asked tentatively, These days, they have searched for all the places they should be looking for, even those inaccessible villages, and there is no sign of Master Xingchi at all. People, the sky is the earth, how do you find people like this?

Dong Yi shook his head, indicating that he did not know either. The group stopped at an inn. Dong Yi instructed the second inn to take care of the horses, and he took them into the inn to rest.

The group looked at the bustling street, all frowning, as long as they didn't find Zhang Xingchi for a day, they would have no peace for a day, just when they used the food and discussed the next plan in a low voice, Zhang Xingchi I have entered this town.

Looking at the bustling town, Zhang Xingchi touched the mezzanine in his arms, which Gu Shuixiu specially prepared for him before he left. He had spent the remaining 3,000 taels of silver notes, and the rest of the loose money in the purse was also washed away by the river when it fell into the river.

At this time, all he can rely on is two thousand taels of silver notes, but with his clothes, no one will believe that he can take out these silver notes, and it will be troublesome if he is targeted .

In desperation, Zhang Xingchi could only adopt a roundabout policy, sneak into an inn, find a rich traveler, and steal decent clothes. , must be like a human again, no one will treat him as a little beggar when he goes out, but this dress may need to be changed.

Make up her mind, Zhang Xingchi picked an inn that looked more atmospheric in the town, and when the staff in the shop had no idea, he walked into the inn flexibly, and visited two or three rooms with no one. After the wing, nothing was found.

The lady of the family, plus he is a wanted criminal now, it is easy to be spotted when he goes out dressed as a handsome boy, but if he is dressed as a lady, who would think that he is the wanted criminal!

Wrapped in a gauze, he walked out of the wing with his chest raised and headed high, and quickly ran to the backyard of the inn when no one noticed.

I happened to meet the second shopkeeper who was going to the front hall with tea. The second shopkeeper looked at Zhang Xingchi suspiciously.

Zhang Xingchi couldn't, so he deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and took the initiative to talk to the shop assistant: "Xiao Er, I want to pack a carriage for a long trip. Does your inn have such a carriage?"

When the business came to the door, he didn't believe that the second shopkeeper would think of anything else.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Xingchi's question, the second shopkeeper immediately put on a flattering smile and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I don't know which state or county the girl wants to go to?"

Zhang Xingchi said with a "surprise": "It would be great to have it, the place I want to go is a little far, my aunt lives in the south, and now she is seriously ill and writes to my parents, let us go and see She, but because of the chaos on the road, I got separated from my parents, it would be great to be able to go now!"

The second shopkeeper heard that Zhang Xingchi was going to visit relatives in the south, and immediately became embarrassed, "Girl, it's not that we won't send you to the south, but it's just that there is now the world of the rebel army, and it is very difficult to check in and out. Yan, coupled with the strict control of the imperial court now, all carriages entering and leaving the prefecture and county must be thoroughly investigated, and once you know that you are going to the south, whether you are visiting relatives or not, they will not be released, so we have no choice."

.

Seeing that Zhang Xingchi was silent, the shop assistant thought she was disappointed because she couldn't go to the south, and said sympathetically: "Girl, I think you should go to the front hall and ask, I just watched a team The people and horses seem to be heading south, and they are probably leaving soon, if you ask now, you might be able to take them with you."

Because of the warm introduction of the second shopkeeper, Zhang Xingchi couldn't refuse, and with the idea of ​​​​using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he followed the second shopkeeper to the front hall with some disinterest.

As soon as he walked to the front hall, Zhang Xingchi was stunned. Maybe he was blinded, how could he see Uncle Dong Yi in this place! No, not only Uncle Dong Yi, but also Uncle Dong Yong! They are... Zhang Xingchi seems to be keeping the clouds open and seeing the moonlight, wishing that Ma Shan could rush up to call someone.

It was only when the second shopkeeper stood in front of him that he realized that his current outfit, if he really rushed to meet them, he must have become famous.

Zhang Xingchi was helpless, so he had to suppress his excitement and approached Dong Yi and others with the second shop assistant.

"The guests are disturbing!" The second shopkeeper summoned up his courage and smiled at Dong Yi and others. Seeing Dong Yi and others all looking at him, his heart sank, thinking that he was still waiting behind him. The poor "girl" who hitchhiked boldly continued: "We have a girl who wants to go to the south, but the carriage in the store just can't get there. I wonder if the guest officers are going to the south? Can you take this girl with you? a girl?"

Standing behind the second shopkeeper, Zhang Xingchi sneaked up and met Dong Yong's eyes, and winked stubbornly at him.

Dong Yong immediately felt like he was struck by lightning. Looking at those eyes, he felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but when he looked closely, he seemed to not know him at all, and It is impossible for him to know such a girl!

Zhang Xingchi finished teasing Dong Yong, and then looked at Dong Yi, Dong Yi is not as stupid as Dong Yong, Zhang Xingchi just looked at him, he seemed to be aware of it, and he agreed without hesitation. request.

The shop assistant turned around excitedly and said to Zhang Xingchi, "Very good girl, now you can go to visit relatives. I'm still busy, so I won't greet you. Be careful on your way."

them.

Zhang Xingchi made up his mind that when he left, he must thank the shop assistant.

Just when Dong Yong was still confused, Dong Yi said solemnly: "Okay, let's go quickly, don't waste time."

"Brother Dong Yi, are we really going to bring her?" Dong Yong pointed at Zhang Xingchi in astonishment, when Dong Yi would be so kind, could it be because he liked this girl's beauty already?
