Chapter 6 Flaw
Zhao Er has been very tired these two days. Follow the three brothers to accompany an old man on an errand.
This old man was just a straw man a year ago. He didn't pay attention to it when he saw it on the road. As a result, he became his boss - Dutou, just because he killed a tiger on Jingyanggang. No one looked at it. Who knows if he killed him and how he killed it. Originally, the reputation accumulated by the brothers and the hard work accumulated in front of the county magistrate must be their own. Seeing that they took office too many heads and were taken down, they even booked a banquet for promotion. Some brothers even gave them money, and they even spent all the money they received. Guo Wusong suddenly jumped out and mixed everything up.
There is only one head. Wu Song is not transferred, not promoted, and does not go on. He has no chance at all. For this reason, Zhao Er feels quite depressed. In particular, if you want to return the money you have already got, you have to look at the strange faces of the brothers, which is even more unpleasant. What's more important is that even the old friends know that they can't be the head, they are quite indifferent to themselves. Instead, they go to Ximen Qing, the young master who has been very popular in the county, a small vendor who opened a pharmacy shop. Is it popular with my regular civil servants? Zhao Er is full of superiority.
But Zhao Er's sense of superiority always comes from himself, but the people around him don't think so. Let's take the job in front of us. I have been restless for the past two days. How can I hide my uneasiness and anxiety and jokes? Do you think I don't know what you found? Copper money marks and nail prints on the box, the shopkeeper and the boss's wife in the wild shop, and five waves of riders passing by during the day. Wu Er, Wu Er, you think you have a lot of city government, but you are just a rude person, and your thoughts are written on your face. You, Uncle Zhao, have been walking in the officialdom for so many years, can't you see this little trick? It's ridiculous. Zhao Er's sense of superiority appeared again, and he immediately controlled his emotions.
When Zhao Er was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sound at the door. He hurriedly put down the things in his hand and listened for a while without any other movement. I thought I heard it wrong. After a while, someone knocked on the door. It turned out that the two brothers who were eating below came to eat for themselves.
"Where's the head?"
"Oh, after eating good wine, I wet my clothes and said that I was going upstairs to change them, but our brother didn't pay attention."
"He hasn't come back. He must have changed his attention halfway and went out for a walk."
Zhao Er thought that this reckless man was a reckless man with a mission and drinking so much wine. Can such a brain be the head? It really makes people laugh. I guess now that I've finished drinking, I'll go somewhere to have fun. It's just, oh, it doesn't seem right. Maybe I'm worried too much.
Zhao Er and others just arrived at the entrance of the stairs and found Wu Song staggering down from upstairs.
"Doutou, why did you go upstairs?"
"Don't mention it. I just got wet and had to come back to change it. As a result, I drank too much and fell on the wrong floor. As a result, I went upstairs and slapped the door above, which also provoked a woman and provoked a lot of trouble."
"This is full of peach blossoms."
"Eating alcohol is a mistake. Eating alcohol is a mistake. Don't be greedy like me. After you eat, I'll go back to my room."
After saying that, Wu Song went straight away. Zhao Er thought for a moment, shook his head, then smiled and went downstairs for dinner. Zhao Er's mood began to improve, and his new life seemed to be waming to him, and there was some inexplicable excitement. As soon as people are in a good mood and have a good appetite, Zhao Er ordered eight dishes after going downstairs and ate them, but he really didn't dare to drink wine. Wu Song said this well.
After dinner, Zhao Er let his little brother go back to the guest room first and go out for a walk. The little brother knew in his heart that Zhao Er was looking for pleasure, and he was tacit with each other. If you want to ask, I will say that you have pooped."
Zhao Er walked out of the store and wandered along the street. After walking a distance, he turned at the intersection and took out a white ball around his waist. After touching it several times, he threw it into the sky. The white ball actually gave birth to wings and slapped and flew away. It turned out to be a pigeon. Zhao Er used the technique of a trick artist and has been kept on his waist. Zhao Er watched the pigeon fly away, breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and strolled back to the inn.
In a small town, people go to bed early. When I came back, there was basically no one in the lobby. Zhao Er thought for a moment and went upstairs and went back to his room. Today's room is still a suite, and the four officials still have to sleep outside. Wu Song put the box into the inner room as usual. When entering the room, the three brothers also said, "Quick shooter."
"What, I've seen a few, and they are too ugly. Bad old man's Yaxing, sleep, and I have to go on my way tomorrow.
While talking, the candles in Wu Song's room went out, and the four of them also extinguished the candles outside and lay down to sleep. Zhao Er forced himself to sleep for a while. If he had something on his mind, he could only sleep in a daze. I don't know how long he slept. Zhao Er opened his eyes, held his breath, and stood up secretly. He walked to the door connecting the inner room and the outer room. The tip of his tongue wet the window paper, and then gently tapped his fingernails, and a small hole appeared. Looking through the small hole, Wu Song did not sleep. Instead, he sat down, with the box on his side and one hand on the box.
Zhao Er laughed secretly in his heart, and he was really clever. The location of the room and the profit and loss of the moon are just right. If it hadn't been for the brilliance of the bright moon filled the house, how could it be so real? It seems that Wu Song is ready to protect the box all night. This is the third night you haven't slept in a row. Even if you are a dragon-killing hero, I'm afraid you don't have any strength.
After watching it, Zhao Er turned over and fell asleep. At this time, he had no worries and fell asleep very quickly. Zhao Er was awakened, and Wu Song stood in front of him, and several brothers were also sleepy. Needless to say, the journey of this day was about to begin. Wu Song is riding a horse and doesn't know how to walk. He rides a horse or swaying before or after, but it's unfair for our brother's four functions to walk with a carriage. Then he has to carry the box. Zhao Er's most annoying thing is to carry the box every day. It's really too heavy, but this is a task that he must complete. Lift the box from upstairs and load it into the carriage. Of course, when he seemed to change his hands left and right, Zhao Er took out a small iron gourd from his pocket and smashed it with his iron block, and a clear gourd print appeared on the box. When you move downstairs, you will stimp left and right. It is impossible for anyone to notice their movements and hear the sound of smashing. Zhao Er thought and put the iron block and gourd back into his pocket. When he put them back, the two things collided with the copper money and iron fingers in his pocket and made a tinkling sound.
is like the sound of silver touching each other, like the sound of clinking a glass at a celebration banquet, like the sound of a good little mouth kissing himself. Zhao Er thought happily. After a while on the road, Wu Song will find the sudden appearance of the gourd mark, and he will feel the mystery of his opponent. Under the sleepless guard, the imprint appeared one after another. Anyone will think that this is the work of people with high martial arts skills. I'm afraid that they are already quite afraid. How could they drink so much wine last night?
Wu Song got on the horse, and Zhao Er and four others drove the carriage to follow. Zhao Er clearly saw that Wu Song was gently shaking back and forth at the horse. It was almost time. He didn't sleep for three days. Extreme anxiety and tension had almost overwhelmed this person. Now he still needs to add the last straw to the camel.
Zhao Er took the horse's twirl and accelerated his walk, and the speed of the carriage also accelerated. Wu Song's horse was slow and gradually overtaken. He put down the speed not far in front of Wu Song. On the surface, he wanted Du's head to protect the back side, but in fact, he wanted to print the newly appeared gourd against Wu Song. Well, I'm going to break down when I see this. Zhao Er laughed wildly in his heart.
After a while, two riders passed by. This is in the plan. These two are one of the five-wave riders yesterday. They changed their clothes, but the horse did not change. Wu Song should see through it. If there is no disguise, it will make him feel that all this is unreal. With a little camouflage that can be seen through, so that he can be secretly happy for his cleverness, so that he can constantly lead you into the urn.
After two waves of riders, it's time for lunch. Wu Song looked very sleepy. The other three brothers didn't know why. They asked long and short questions and asked if you were sick. Let's go to the next place to rest for a day and see you. Wu Song just shook his head and said nothing. Zhao Er ate this dried meat happily. What is most hopeful now is that Wu Er can't help taking action first when a wave of riders pass by, which is really a perfect ending. It's just that although Wu Song is very anxious, he probably won't do it. It doesn't matter. He is a planned tiger who has been sleepy in the cage for three days. It's not terrible.
"This dried meat is too bad. Let's roast it raw. It tastes better."
The other three brothers shouted yes immediately, and Wu Song also nodded feebly. The four officials also cleaned up the wood and lit a fire. The nearby firewood is a little wet, and the fire is not strong, but the smoke is very thick. The smoke is like a pillar, straight to the sky. At noon when there is no wind, it is like a flagpole all over the sky.
Four officials took out the dried meat and roasted it on the fire. Someone greeted Wu Song to eat, and Wu Song just waved his hand. After about three incense, from the two directions of the road - the direction of the five people and two horses coming and going, the sound of horses' hoofs respectively. After a while, I only saw the four horses coming together, that is, the two waves of riders that passed in the morning, followed by six horses, three waves of riders who passed yesterday afternoon. Ten riders ran to Zhao Er, Wu Song and others at the same time. Zhao Er nod, everything was according to the plan.
However, in the originally windless weather, why did the wind suddenly rise? Zhao Er shivered.
