Chapter 46 Hongjiu
"Where the hell is this?"
He raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs. Shan Xiaowu licked his lips that were dry due to lack of water, and looked at the sky with a desperate look.
She has been wandering in this completely strange city for a long time. Last night, she was busy running for her life. She was so tired that she found a place to hide and sleep. Unexpectedly, she got up in a daze from the haystack this morning and walked on the street, but she completely lost the appearance of Jinling City in her memory, although it was also prosperous. Small town, but she can be sure that this place has been in the future. I think it should be that Yasi changed places overnight after capturing her from Jinling City.
The most tricky thing is that she took ecze and entered a state of fake death at that time. She didn't even have a chance to look around and was sent here in a sack. Now she wants to follow the original way to find it, relying on her ability to get close to the road idiot - it's simply a fantasy.
I haven't heard from him for so long, and I don't know if the second brother and Feicui are looking for people on the street. As long as he thinks how anxious they will be, Shan Xiaowu feels very guilty.
Seeing that there are more and more pedestrians on the road, the teahouses and dim sum shops have opened. After wandering around the street for a long time, they stopped several passers-by one after another to know that this place is called Yueluo Town, which is also the territory of the Jinluo Dynasty, but the specific direction is. The people who asked are not clear, and Shan Xiaowu himself has no clue at all. After thinking for a long time, I didn't get half a useful result. On the contrary, I became more and more hungry.
The two or two wontons I hurriedly ate yesterday evening couldn't withstand the erosion of stomach acid at all. At this moment, they have been completely consumed, and I don't know if they have entered the place of grain reincarnation early.
"Gulu..."
Pressing on the flat belly of protesting from time to time, Shan Xiaowu sighed, and his eyes fell on the nearest steamed bun stall. He was seduced by the fragrance, and he was even more greedy.
Originally, she was carrying a few taels of silver from her second brother Shan Baoqian, but after escaping last night, she found that her wallet was missing. She didn't know whether she accidentally lost it or was robbed by the group of duck four - in a word, she is now so poor that she doesn't even have the money to buy a steamed bun.
"Damn it, if I had known that the wallet would disappear, I should have cheated the money into my hand before running away..." Rubbing his sore shoulder, Shan Xiaowu sucked the fragrance in the air vigorously, and hung his head listlessly like a withered flower.
She pressed the hard object hanging on her heart through her clothes. Although the money bag was lost, it was lucky that the jade wrench finger that had been hanging around her neck had not been robbed. Otherwise, she would have been anxious to death now. Without the jade wrench finger, even if she found the guy Qi Meng in the future, she could only stare and not recognize each other.
Unfortunately, she came out in a hurry yesterday. She didn't bring a lot of things that she usually don't leave her. If she wears clothes and sells the hairpin on her head, at least she can exchange some money for dinner. Now there is only such a jade wrench finger all over her body that can't be sold or exchanged. Isn't this pure heart forcing her to the end?
No, she has to go to the inn to ask those merchants to see if anyone knows the way to Jinling City. If someone is about to go there, she must follow her, otherwise she will not know how long she will last with her penniless situation.
As a last resort, she first went to find a job to do it. When she earned money to fill the Five viscera Temple, she hired an ox cart to send herself back. It was only one night. It was expected that Luo Town should not be far from Jinling City this month.
He had no choice but to find a cool place to sit with his hands behind his back. Shan Xiaowu looked up and looked left and right, but saw that the clothes hanging in the room in front of him were drifting in the wind in the yard. His eyes turned around twice, and then he looked at the robe that had begun to wrinkle and sour. As soon as he raised his eyebrows, he immediately counted his mind.
"Hey hey, this is saved..."
Out of the pawnshop, Shan Xiaowu changed into a gray coarse cloth short coat, with an earthy yellow tie on his waist, and a black hair tied a ponytail at will, divided the bangs equally, tied with a two-finger-wide gray cloth strip on his forehead, and wrapped a fashionable wrist guard like a Jianghu chivalrous man in his hand. The whole person looks clear. It's a lot sharp, and it's quite a little bit like Jianghu people.
He carefully put the ten taels of silver in his hand in his arms, and squeezed the bones of his fingers on both sides. He felt that his whole body had become much more relaxed. Sure enough, he still felt more secure with money.
He scratched the back of his head. Shan Xiaowu brushed his nose and patted his stomach. Then he chose a restaurant with a smile and filled his stomach.
"Second young master, second young master."
In the middle of the day, he was busy all night and didn't sleep at all. The slightly pale jade ran into the inn with sweat, almost knocked over the little two who was holding the vegetable plate, quickly apologized, and quickly greeted Shan Baoqian, who was rushing down from upstairs.
"Have you found Xiao Wu?" Shan Baoqian frowned. When is it? Where will the little sister go?
Jadeite shook her head, raised her hand, and didn't forget to pat her chest and gasp, "No...No."
The expression on Shan Baoqian's face was even more gloomy.
"But, but I found this in the east of the city." Seeing that Shan Baoqian's face was not very good, the guilty jade was so scared that she dared not continue to breathe. She quickly handed over the two medicine bags and a folding fan to Shan Baoqian's hand. "This fan was held by the lady when she went out, and these two packs of medicine were found in the same place. I later asked about the nearby medicine. The hall is indeed bought by the young lady.
Shan Baoqian ended up folding the fan and was not in a hurry to look at it. Instead, he opened the medicine bag and sniffed it, and then wondered, "Is it licorice?"
"Lamoiselle has been always shouting that she wants to lose weight recently, saying that she can no longer be greedy for cakes. When she is greedy, she will eat licorice slices to solve it."
The jadeite timely voice answered his doubts.
If I had known that the young lady was going to buy licorice tablets at that time, she should have stopped her from going there for her, and she wouldn't have disappeared. She left such two bags of greedy things that made people anxious.
Where is that place? Take me there quickly."
I thought that the licorice tablet should be of little use. Shan Baoqian put down the medicine bag and took the paper fan and ordered it.
"Yes." Feicui didn't dare to delay for a moment. He didn't care about taking a sip of water and quickly took Shan Baoqian to turn back in the direction he had just run over.
The master and servant stood at the entrance of the last alley of the legendary Dan Xiaowu and looked in. In fact, the alley was not funny, but because there were bamboo poles piled up on both sides, it seemed a little narrow. Some of the entrance had fallen down, and no one paid attention to it.
Shan Baoqian lowered his lower body and reached out to touch the moss that had been dried off the ground. Then he looked at the wall next to him. The top was messy. Obviously, someone put his hand on the wall and wiped the marks when he struggled.
"Second young master, are we going to go out along this alley to look for it?" Feicui stood behind Shan Baoqian and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't understand anything, so she stretched out her neck and looked at the other side of the alley and suggested.
"Where does the other side of this alley lead to?" Shan Baoqian withdrew his hand and stood up, twisting his eyebrows tightly.
"I don't know either." Jadeite shook her head. When she found the folding fan here just now, she didn't see half a figure, so she thought about giving things to Shan Baoqian first. It should be easier to find her own young lady with his cleverness.
"Second young master, how about the maidservant go in and have a look now?"
"Don't go." Shan Baoqian stretched out his hand and crossed in front of the jade with a paper fan, and his face was solemn. "Let's wait until I figure it out. Let's go back to the inn."
"But Miss, she..." Feicui was in a hurry to make a fuss, and she couldn't wait to find Shan Xiaowu immediately.
Shan Baoqian didn't even look at her again and turned around and left.
Feicui could only stare angrily at the deep alley, stamped her feet violently, and reluctantly followed it.
As soon as the two entered the inn, the shopkeeper greeted him. "The two guest officials are back. The knight over there is looking for this gentleman."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and stood on the edge of the counter to talk to the shopkeeper. He was dressed in a light gray plain robe and carried a long strip of strange things wrapped in a rag on his back. He looked like a man walking around the world all year round. His figure alone could scare off many people when he stood in the crowd.
"Brother Hong!" When Shan Baoqian heard this, an inconspicuous smile immediately appeared on his face. He stepped forward and shouted with his fists in his hands.
The bearded guest turned around. As soon as he saw that it was Shan Baoqian, his eyes lit up. His mouth hidden behind his beard almost grinned behind his head. Pu Fan's big palm patted on Shan Baoqian's shoulder, and his voice sounded like a bell, "Brother Shan, you're back. I just thought I didn't know when to wait until."
He was slapped on the shoulder several times by that big hand. If he is weak, I'm afraid even his shoulder blade may be broken on the spot at this moment.
"Brother Hong, hand." Shan Baoqian coughed a few times and motioned him to take back his claws and let him pat him a few more times. He should have an internal injury.
"Oh? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the customer smiled awkwardly and quickly let go of Shan Baoqian's shoulder, but then he complained as if he was thinking of something. "I said, Brother Shan, you obviously..."
"Brother Hong!" Shan Baoqian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and quickly interrupted him, "Brother Hong must be hungry. How about having a meal first?"
The guest was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. He knew that Shan Baoqian didn't want him to say more, so he got rid of the thought of continuing the topic just now. He grabbed the back of his head with a smile and said, "That's of course, that's of course. It's a blessing for my brother to treat you, who has been stingy for ten thousand years! However, if there is no wine, then..."
Shan Baoqian's face has not changed. Hearing what he said, he said, "No matter how much Brother Hong wants to drink today, it will be invited by my younger brother."
"So good, very good." As soon as the bearer heard this, he immediately narrowed a pair of cow's eyes into two small cracks. He licked his lips and rubbed his hands as if he had been greedy for a long time. He reached out to hold the passing shop Xiao Er and was about to beg for wine, but he was quickly stopped by Shan Bao Qianyan.
So the man with a sad face, "Shan, that's what you said. If you want to buy a drink for your brother, why do you stop him now? Do you dare to be reluctant to treat?" He knew that this girl was stingy to death. How could he pay out of his pocket for a treat in person? Calculation, miscalculation.
"What did Brother Hong say? My younger brother said he wanted to treat me. Of course it was true," Shan Baoqian ignored the ginseng rooster of the guest at all. He waved his hand calmly and then said, "It's just that I have another thing to ask Brother Hong for help. When this matter is over, I will accompany Brother Hong to drink. "
He seemed to think about it, and then smiled, "Ok, no problem, as long as there is wine to drink, as long as I can do it, it's all on me!"
"That little brother thanked Brother Hong first." A real smile appeared on Shan Baoqian's face. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Hong, please ask Brother Rong to speak in detail. This way, please."
After saying that, he led Hong Jiu to move forward.
"The second young master..."
The jadeite that has been following Shan Baoqian is afraid of the strong smell of Hong Jiu. Since she entered the door, she has not said a word and tried to shrink herself to the edge to be an invisible person. At this time, as soon as Shan Baoqian moved away, she was exposed. Shan Xiaowu, who had always been careless, was not beside her. She When he was shocked, he was uneasy and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"Huh, I said, Brother Shan, is this little lady the ingot girl you have been talking about? It's quite good-looking." Hong Jiu didn't hear the second young master. When he saw a girl's house suddenly appeared behind Shan Baoqian, he expected that he was the most often mentioned Shan Xiaowu. A pair of bull's eyes immediately looked up and down rudely.
Jade is also a girl's house that rarely goes out. When he looked at it like this, she immediately timidly shrank behind Shan Baoqian and dared not look up again.
Shan Baoqian's face was covered with black lines, and he held his forehead and sighed, "Brother Hong, this is my Yuan Baomei's maid, jade."
"Oh, so that's it," Hong Jiu scratched the back of his head and asked, "What about your sister? Where is it? Call it out and let me know each other.
Shan Baoqian sighed, "To be honest, little brother, I don't know where my sister is now."
"How can there be a brother who doesn't know where his sister is?" Hong Jiu thought that Shan Baoqian was joking with him. At that moment, he laughed and patted his slightly bulging belly and said, "Did you bring it out? Don't you always say that your girl is active and stubborn like a monkey? Can she not follow her if you go out? It's not that you accidentally got lost when you followed it, did you?"
At the point, Shan Baoqian and Feicui turned green at the same time.
Damn it, without such a cheating father, I was really fooled by this stupid melon. What's the face of the two of them? What's the matter!
