Chapter 3 Copper Money Seal
It is said that the barren village store is more dangerous, but this store is just a lonely one, not even a barren village. Even if Wu Er is a child, he will feel cold on his back, not to mention that this Guankou Erlang has been walking in the world for several years.
But it's a pity that Wu Er and his party have no choice.
There are no flags in this store, but the door is open. When Wu Er thought about it, the group of people entered the store. Except for Wu Er, four people carried the box out of the car and became the leader. Even if he was a little leader, he didn't have to do this kind of strength by himself. But the box is heavy, and these four officials grin tiredly. Wu Er suddenly had a vengeful pleasure. Obviously, he had not adapted to the changes in his class.
The store is very clean, with four tables. Two people, of course, as you know, the shop is the same as a sophomore and a boss's wife. If you want me to say why, I can only say that I don't know.
The little second-hand feet are sharp. When you see someone coming in, you wipe the table. Maybe it's because the location is really remote, so there is no one in the store. Four men brought the box in and sat down at another table, and Wu Song had already sat at the table before.
"Sung, what can I do for you?" Xiao Er asked Wu Song while wiping the table. Although the table obviously did not need to be wiped, Xiao Er's hand seemed to be unable to stop without doing anything, so that Wu Song stared at Xiao Er's hand from the beginning of entering the door.
"Oh, just cut some meat, give us a dime of wine and some dry food."
"The guest officer is so unhappy. Do you think those four people are tired for a day at a glance? How can they be tired after drinking a dime?"
"Do whatever you are asked to do. Don't talk too much. Grandpa has official business this time, so don't persuade me to drink and make trouble. Wu Song and five others in official clothes, coupled with the heavy box, actually know what they do, so there is no need to hide 300 taels of silver here. When Wu Song set out, he also thought about whether to dress up before escorting, but one of the four officials was quite unhappy and didn't like to go out in casual clothes. Second, Wu Er has not been at the beginning of his position, and he is still a little novel about identity conversion. He feels that with his reputation as a tiger hero, how can he not shake this prestige? When he was afraid to attack on the road, he refused to change his clothes because of his face. In fact, Wu Song keeps complaining about himself in his heart. Why can't he pull down this face? But sometimes he thinks that it is because he can't pull down that he killed Jingyanggang's tiger, so he has this opportunity to change his fate. Maybe this is also an advantage. Every ideological struggle about changing clothes is over in this chaos, so although this ideological struggle has been carried out dozens of times, it is still fruitless.
"Good wine, five cents, five catties of cooked meat, ten steamed buns." Xiao Er shouted and went down to cook wine and meat. After hearing Xiao Er's shout, the boss's wife picked up a pen and wrote something, as if she were making a record on the account book.
At this time, Wu Er had to look at the boss's wife. The boss's wife was dressed in ordinary clothes and was not gorgeous. As for the specific appearance on her face, Wu Er, who had some heterosexual phobia, could not see it seriously. In fact, Wu Er just glanced at the boss's wife with his eyes and stared down at the table and thought about things.
The second child just now is not an ordinary person. Although he deliberately hides it, the action of wiping the table seems to use knives and axes to split stones. Of course, this alone doesn't mean anything. Wu Er carefully observed that Xiao Er's right hand was bigger than his left hand. Although a right-handed person's right hand will be larger than his left hand, there must be a specific reason why it can be seen so that it can be seen without a ruler. It can only be said that this little second right hand often uses something. In these troubled times, if you say that Xiao Er's right hand is used to chopsticks, no one can believe it. The only answer is that he is used to weapons. Don't make a move and see if they want to do so. Wu Er made up his mind.
The wine and meat steamed buns will be available soon. Wu Song looked at the wine coming up and didn't pay attention to it. He just looked up and drank it. It is impossible to be mixed with sweat medicine in this corner of wine. If you want to turn people over, the wine that comes up must be paste, and only fools can't distinguish them. From the beginning of entering the store, Wu Er wanted to deliberately pretend to be clumsy and deliberately showed that he had no Jianghu experience. Therefore, when I saw the wine, I didn't hesitate to drink it all.
In fact, Wu Er's wine worm was hooked out. However, the example of the birth date is vivid, and the wine can no longer be drunk. While eating meat, Wu Er chewed steamed buns and thought about how the other party could deal with himself.
If there is something to say, it will be long and if there is nothing to say, it will be short. A group of five people have been hungry for a day, biting large pieces of steamed bread to eat meat, and have no intention to quarrel with each other. When dinner comes, the problem comes. In today's words, this restaurant only has a place to eat, not a place to sleep. Wu Song and his party really couldn't walk. They had no choice but to sleep with straw in the stable. And this stable is not cheap.
The four officials carried the box to the stable again. As soon as the four people lay down, they snored. The noisy horse practiced hitting his nose.
Wusong dares not sleep, because this stable is also very strange. There is no livestock in this small shop. Why do you always have a stable? Since guests are not allowed to stay overnight, even if guests come on horseback and casually tied to a stake, the stable seems very superfluous. And there is no trace of trampling on the straw here, isn't it?
Wu Song did not dare to sleep. Thinking of the danger, there was a layer of white sweat on his body. He immediately sat next to the box, pressed his waist knife with his hand, held his breath and meditated and watched. I only saw the bright moon in the sky, and there were no stars. I can only occasionally hear a few birds and the sounds of beasts.
Of course, Wu Er didn't expect it. This wait-and-see lasted for a whole night. The East is white and nothing happens when the sky is bright. Wu Er really enjoyed a sunrise: the sun had not yet come out a moment ago, as if Wu Song just blinked his eyes and the sun popped out. It was extremely bright, and Wu Song's eyes were full of tears. Of course, it's also because Wu Er is more sleepy.
But since it's dawn, we need to go on the road. Wu Song turned around and kicked the official lying on the straw. After kicking for a long time, the four of them got up and yawned. When they saw that Wu Song was energetic and his eyes were round, they couldn't help praising: "They all look good." Wu Song was not willing to give more explanations, so he simply nodded to deal with it.
went out of the stable and patted the door of the shop, and the second child opened the door after a while.
"Dear guest, do you want to have breakfast? Sorry, the store doesn't sell breakfast. Some are just steamed buns with wine and meat.
"It doesn't matter. What you want is your meat and steamed buns. Cut ten kilograms of meat for us, take ten steamed buns, and we took them away.
"Sir, you don't eat in the store. The steamed buns in the shop haven't come out of the pot yet. Why don't you wait a minute?"
"Then cut the meat and cut it quickly." Wu Er felt more and more that this place was evil. He just wanted to leave early. How could he wait for the time for the steamed bread to come out of the pot?
In a while, the meat was cut. I wrapped it with a bag and paid for gold and silver. Four officials carried the box to the carriage, Wu Er led his horse, and four officials led the carriage, five people and two horses, and continued to go to the capital.
This day is the same as yesterday. There is no one on the official road, and the official road is thin and winding, and it feels like a sheep's intestine path. Halfway through the walk, the four officials felt hungry, so they took out cooked meat and chewed it. The meat was with some juice, and the official tasted some fragrance floated into Wu Er's nostrils, thinking that it had just been made in the morning.
After walking again, Wu Song saw that there was no abnormal situation under his men, and his doubts also became big. He took out the meat and took a big bite. Wu Er was not a young master of a large family, and he didn't pay much attention to breakfast, so the four officials still chewed after they felt greasy eating. After eating some meat, I didn't feel satisfied. I took out half a steamed bun and ate it.
With meat and steamed buns, Wu Song suddenly felt energetic. Last night's fatigue was also swept away. There was a gust of wind on the road, and the wind was mixed with the smell of leaves and the aroma of weeds, which was even more refreshing.
This reminds Wu Song of a lot of past events. The life before escaping from Qinghe County was like a separate world for Wu Er. Now that I think about it, it seems that the memory at that time has been a little blurred. Father-like dwarf brother, brother-like Li Liu, and Lin Lin's affairs are like flowing water with a whirlpool, which does not flow clearly. It's just that all the memories are always mixed with the juice of these leaves and the aroma of weeds.
"The red sun is burning like fire, and the wild rice is half scorched. The farmer's heart is like soup, and the prince Wang Sun shakes the fan. Wu Song couldn't help singing immediately, which was the tune he often sang when he was in Qinghe County. At that time, as long as this tune begins, many people will sing along. But today, after singing this tune, no one applauded. Wu Er suddenly felt disillusioned. Then he remembered that he was no longer in Qinghe County, and he was no longer surrounded by Li Liu and the villagers, but four officials.
The four officials naturally did not cut this vulgar tone, but they all sang high, and they couldn't say anything, but Wu Song sang slowly, and the carriage passed Wu Song's horse's head and went to the front. After singing a song, Wu Song was a little thirsty, so he took a few steps quickly. He thought of getting on the carriage to get a water bag and drink a few sip. Just as Wu Song's hand was about to touch the water bag, he suddenly stopped and shouted, "Stop!"
The four officials were stunned, and one of them said, "Why did you stop?" We still have to hurry."
"Stop, open the box and check the silver two."
The official had to stop the car, respectfully take out the key, open the iron lock, and open the lid of the box. Wu Song quickly stepped forward and took a close look. The box is neatly packed with the previous silver, and nothing has been lost. Wu Song was stunned for a moment and had to smile apologetically and said, "It's me who was dazzled."
"No matter what you say, you are cautious, and Fang has been protected for two weeks, which is also what the county magistrate means. Our brothers, in front of the saddle and behind the horse, serve Dutou, and hope that Dutou can say more good words in front of the county magistrate.
"Brother, be polite, hahaha."
Wu Er turned over and still walked at the end of the team, but the previous interest in singing has disappeared, and the smell of memories in the air has disappeared. He gritted his teeth and saw clearly when he took the water bag just now that there was a light copper coin mark in the corner of the back of the lid on the box he was familiar with.
