It's May, but the weather doesn't feel like summer at all.
I heard that it was destiny to destroy the Ming Dynasty, so the climate has been completely chaotic in recent years. For ordinary people who have never read books, the most intuitive thing about the chaos in the world is that the land is full of strong beams and the fields are starved to death. The official roads that used to be bustling with traffic are now only occasionally visited by e-mails carrying bad news.
Zhang Ergou was originally a refugee who had lost his land. Because the village elders sympathized with his father's disability, he let him guard a tea shop on the official road. This tea shop was originally a rural pavilion, designed to provide tea and coarse food for passing business travelers, but now it is in ruins. There are only two bamboo poles holding a curtain, which looks like a pergola.
On this day, a man and a woman came to the shop. The man was startled from time to time, and the sound of a hen pecking could scare him. He was dressed in rags, like a savage in the mountains. The woman has a handsome face, is wearing silk and satin, and is very generous with only one penny.
Zhang Ergou took the woman's money, walked behind the stove, filled a clay pot with water, and looked at the woman's back. He has never seen such a snow-white and pink beauty, her eyes are as bright as the stars in the sky. Whenever he touches her gaze, he feels that he is filthy. Every time he looks at her, he is tainted by the gods¡ª¡ª
right! She must be a fairy!
Zhang Ergou¡¯s heart beat faster, remembering the news from the capital. Beizhili, which was originally suffering from drought, got drenched with rain because of the intervention of a god named Honest Man. Moreover, after the heavy rain, it seemed that heaven and earth were no longer against the Ming Dynasty, and no major disasters were seen for a whole month.
The old people in the village said that the gods couldn't bear it anymore and came to save Ming Dynasty. It seems that this lady must be a fairy who came to save the Ming Dynasty, otherwise how could she be so beautiful?
Zhang Ergou couldn't help but compare that woman with the most beautiful girls and wives he had ever seen, but the result was still the same: those village girls and country women couldn't even compare to a toe of this goddess.
"Sister, where did we fall?" the man next to the goddess asked timidly.
The goddess seemed to be meditating. After a long time, she came back to her senses and called the waiter at the tea shop: "Little brother, come here."
Zhang Ergou rushed up quickly, his back bent like a shrimp. As soon as he stood still, the fragrance of the goddess almost made his legs and feet weak, he felt dizzy, and he was speechless and speechless.
"Little brother, which province is this?" The goddess's voice was like glutinous rice, sweet and warm, making Zhang Ergou's ears itch.
Zhang Ergou dug his ears hard and finally straightened his tongue: "To tell you what, Miss, we are still in Henan, but if we go ten miles further, we will reach Beizhili."
"Oh thanks, the water will boil faster. I'm looking for some food for us." the goddess said.
Zhang Ergou responded repeatedly, stepped aside, and his eyes fell on the feet of the goddess. They were a pair of small white leather boots, which looked delicate and charming, arousing people's reverie.
The sound of horse hooves kicked Zhang Ergou out of his fantasy.
"Yo!" The leading knight also saw the goddess and held on to his horse. He was dressed as an officer and a soldier, and followed by about a dozen riders, so he obviously had a high status.
"Miss, here in the wilderness, there are thieves and bandits everywhere, you have to be careful." The knight had a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth reached to his ears.
"How do you get to the capital from here?" The goddess looked up at him, the sun falling on her face like a natural halo.
The knight seemed to have been hit in the chest by a sledgehammer, and it took him a long time to catch his breath: "Miss, I am Hong Shiqin, the son of the governor of Yansui, and he is about to go to Beijing on business. Miss is alone, why don't you come with us?"
Seeing the goddess lowering her head and thinking, Zhang Ergou's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart, and he secretly shouted: You can't go! What is the difference between these officers and soldiers and rogue bandits? There was no shortage of rape, murder, and robbery!
"Okay, but we don't have mounts." The goddess said.
"Come here! Pack up the horses and come out." Hong Shiqin immediately ordered, "Miss, there is a town ahead, and we will hire a car when we get there. I don't know your name, why are you here alone?" He only had beautiful women in his eyes. Where could he see beautiful women? The young man next to me.
"My name is" the goddess paused, "Liu Yin."
Hong Shiqin was stunned and said: This is obviously a fake name. Judging from the sword she wore, she was probably a Jianghu girl who didn't want anyone to know her identity. Could it be that she is avoiding some enemy? Hey, what's going on with this beggar next to her? When did you come?
This Immortal Liu finally left with these officers and soldiers. Zhang Ergou looked at their retreating figures, feeling empty in his heart. Until now, the water in the clay pot had not yet boiled.Hong Shiqin slowed down his horse, walked side by side with Miss Liu, and asked about Miss Liu's life experience. Miss Liu remained silent about this and was just in a daze, which further whetted the governor's appetite.
¡ª¡ªShe was probably unhappy because I was wearing a military uniform. When I got to town and changed my clothes, wouldn¡¯t it be possible that I still couldn¡¯t pry her mouth open?
Hong Shiqin¡¯s heart was like a bunny jumping around, and he was already imagining how to propose marriage.
After everyone walked all the way, there was indeed a small town. The town only has three streets, two horizontal and one vertical, but it is fully equipped with boats and cars, wine shops and tourists.
Hong Shiqin booked a car for Miss Liu here. Seeing that the girl looked tired, he said: "We will stay here for one night today! Wu Yuanliang."
"The young one is here." A thin soldier with a mustache and twitching eyes walked out among the soldiers.
"Go and say hello to the post house and ask them to prepare three upper rooms." Hong Shiqin said.
Wu Yuanliang accepted the promise, but said in his heart: I've been following you all the time, but you haven't even given me a room to sleep with! But that little lady is really pretty, and if I can ride on her, my journey in this world will not be in vain. The young master is really stupid. If it were me, why would I wait to get married? It's more interesting in the wild
How could Hong Shiqin know what his subordinates were thinking? He focused all his energy on Liu Yin. He would be happy if he could hear Liu Yin say a word, but he would be heartbroken when he saw Liu Yin frowning. I really wanted to fly to the capital immediately, find out Liu Yin's life experience, and come to ask for her hand in marriage. But he also thought that this road would never be completed, so he could walk side by side with Liu Yin.
Liu Yin, however, had no likes or dislikes towards Hong Shiqin. He just regarded him as a kind-hearted fellow traveler who provided convenience. When he got to the capital, he would just pay him some silver.
After resting in this small town for a night, the horse team set off again the next morning, but with one more carriage.
People on this side were driving out of the town, while on the other side there were people who took a small road and ran into the mountains. In today's world, if you want to farm with peace of mind, you will starve to death. Therefore, many people pretend to be good citizens but turn against them and become bandits. In just half a day, the half-people and half-bandits in the nearby mountains knew that a fat sheep was passing by, and they could probably get a lot of money for it.
What¡¯s more, there is a beautiful girl as beautiful as a flower!
Bandits in the mountains do not need to plan as carefully as officers and soldiers. This is the place where they were born and raised. Wherever they can fight an ambush or escape for their lives, it is not a problem for them to close their eyes.
That evening, the bandits found the fat sheep's camping site and pounced on it with lightning speed.
Hong Shiqin pretended to be calm and walked to Liu Yin's car and knocked lightly.
"Mr. Hong, what's going on outside?" Liu Yin asked.
Hong Shiqin thought to himself: This girl Liu didn't panic at all, she is indeed a child of the world!
He cleared his throat and said: "They are just blind thieves. My servants will be able to repel them quickly. Please don't worry, Miss."
"We are waiting for Chuanjie." Liu Yin said lightly, and then said: "Please tell my younger brother to come to the car."
Hong Shiqin was very envious in his heart. Although he was quite confused about their identity as siblings, the "younger brother" was just a semi-idiot, so there was no need to be jealous. He asked someone to help his idiot brother get into the car, and he held his sword to supervise the battle.
"Sister, there are a lot of bandits coming outside" The fool hugged his legs tremblingly and huddled in a corner, "It's so scary."
"It's okay. Mr. Hong's men are well-armed and well-armed, so they'll be fine," Liu Yin comforted.
The bandits in the mountains are all civilians with wooden sticks, and it is already very difficult to even take out an iron hoe. Logically speaking, these servants of the Hong family were able to defeat these bandits with overwhelming force. But at this moment, the servants found that their stomachs began to hurt unsatisfactorily.
The bandits can plant spies to report the news, and naturally they can also let the spies add some food to the fat sheep's fodder.
"Young master is injured! Protect him!" Someone among the servants shouted, and the remaining servants who had not been knocked unconscious by the wooden stick gathered around Hong Shiqin, while they couldn't help but press their hands on his stomach.
The bandit leader waved his hand and laughed loudly: "It's just you guys, do you still want to act like a hero with me? Hand over the silver lady quickly and I will spare your life."
All the servants cursed in their hearts, but no one said a word.
Hong Shiqin pressed the wound and cursed: "You unscrupulous person"
"Mr. Hong." Liu Yin opened the car curtain and stepped out of the car, calm and composed. She interrupted Hong Shiqin's curse and said calmly: "Did you lose the fight?"
Hong Shiqin felt as if he had been slapped in the face, his face turned green and red, and he cursed in his heart: YouDon¡¯t people have eyes? Could it be that you are the bandits¡¯ spy!
He suddenly thought of this possibility and felt a chill in his heart.
"What a good lady, you are indeed born with fair skin and tender flesh" The bandit leader sucked his saliva and stepped forward to pull Liu Yin.
Ding!
There was a long cry of gold and iron, and Liu Yin's sword that never left his body was unsheathed. The sword edge drew an arc in the air and landed under the bandit leader's Adam's apple.
There is a piece of cartilage there. As long as you stab it gently, even a strong person will inevitably be pierced through the throat and trachea, and eventually suffocate to death.
The bandit leader's cold sweat immediately soaked his clothes, and he didn't even dare to roll his Adam's apple.
"Let all your people go, and we will naturally let you go when we hit the road tomorrow." Liu Yin said calmly.
"Drink ok" The bandit leader was so frightened by this indifference that he couldn't say a word.
Hong Shiqin looked at the sharp-shooting Miss Liu Yinliu in horror. It took a long time before he realized what he was doing and asked someone to tie up the bandit leader. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
