Nanming Engineer

Chapter 71
Hai Lanzhu was in a trance, and could hardly believe her ears. She looked at Wang Huan in a daze, and Wang Huan became impatient, and then he took out the knife and threatened, "Say it quickly, don't be reluctant, otherwise, otherwise, otherwise ..."

Otherwise, there would be nothing else to say, Hai Lanzhu opened her eyes wide and looked at Wang Huan in disbelief.

Wang Huan paused in embarrassment, then got up in vain, and stroked the back of his head, but Hai Lanzhu's eyes flashed with a smile, he tried to straighten his head, and tried his best to pout at a small cabinet next to the bed.

When Wang Huan saw it, he was overjoyed, and quickly went to open the drawer of the cabinet. There was indeed a small silver box inside. When he opened it, he found a neat ingot of shiny white silver. About 50 taels, with a few gold leaves on it, it is even more valuable.

Hai Lanzhu looked at Wang Huan happily putting the money into his pocket, and sighed in his heart: "I kept this money to spend when I went out privately, but now it's cheaper than you, a disciple. Let me thank you for not dishonoring my innocence."

Wang Huan packed the money in a big way, and carried the food bag on his back. He went to the door and listened. After making sure it was safe, he went to the window he climbed in and looked out. He looked back at Hai Lanzhu.

Hai Lanzhu lay on the bed unable to move, but stared wide-eyed at Wang Huan, looking very pitiful, Wang Huan couldn't bear it, and said to her: "Wait a while, when your maid comes, she will naturally come to untie you. But looking at the position of this round stool, miss, you are probably also a character who often goes through the windows and doors, if you want to go out in the future, you should go through the door, don't follow me, and do the deeds of a gentleman on the beam."

Hai Lanzhu blushed when he said something embarrassing, she is a masculine character, usually loves to dance with knives and sticks, and likes to be lively. Although Azig loves him, he can't let her not look like a lady, She was often grounded, so she changed clothes by herself, went out through the window to play in the street, and then came back through the window. Only her two personal maids knew about this matter.

After Wang Huan finished speaking, he climbed onto the branch outside the window, took advantage of no one, walked to the top of the tree in a short way, and jumped down.

As soon as his feet landed, two figures jumped out from the corner of the alley, grabbed Wang Huan and pulled him aside. They were Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan.

The two of them waited outside for a long time, their heads were burning with anxiety, and they asked one after another: "What's going on? Why did it take so long?"

Wang Huan smiled proudly and said: "Don't worry, lucky people have their own destiny. What do you think this is?"

He flashed the silver ingots in his waist, and then opened the bag, revealing a bag of food.

Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan cheered and jumped up. Wang Huan looked around and said hurriedly, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I just tied up a Tartar woman to grab these things. Hurry up and find a chance to leave the city." , or you won’t be able to get out.”

The two were shocked again, they never thought that Wang Huan would be so courageous that he dared to rob in the backyard of Xiangyang magistrate's yamen, they immediately became scared again, embraced Wang Huan, and ran away without touching the ground.

When the three of them came to the street, they happened to bump into the dung cart when they entered the city. Just after Si Shi, the dung truck had already filled the dung bucket to the brim, and the pulling mule could hardly pull the huge dung truck. Walking slowly on the way to the south gate, the passers-by covered their noses and backed away, but Wang Huan and the other three seemed to see their relatives. Tie it under the car, endure the stench, and push the car towards the door.

While pushing the cart, Wang Huan couldn't help looking back, for fear that a group of soldiers would suddenly rush out to arrest the murderer who broke into the back house of the prefect's yamen. He only hated the mule pulling the dung cart was too weak to pull the dung cart Gotta be faster.

Hurry up, hurry up, the dung cart swayed to the city gate, the old man driving the cart still smiled at the soldiers guarding the gate, and a strong stench blew away, which was stronger than when entering the city. The soldiers hid far away , kept waving, lest the car would go slowly.

After pushing the dung cart for a while, they turned a corner on the official road. The city gate behind them disappeared at the end of the bend. Only then did Wang Huan and the three of them escape the dung cart and ran into a tea shed on the roadside.

When the tea shed owner saw a visitor coming, he came forward with a wide smile. However, he stumbled over. He pinched his nose and took a closer look. He suddenly lost his temper and yelled: "Where are you beggars? Get out of here!" , don’t dirty my tables and chairs!”

Wang Huan sat down on the stool in a grand manner, took out a silver ingot from his bosom, and "snapped" it, smiling and not speaking.The boss's originally dark face suddenly glowed, and he looked at the silver ingot secretly startled: "I'm afraid there are five taels of silver ingot, this time I met a big customer!"

"Guest officer, what do you want to eat? There are all kinds of pasta in this shop, order whatever you want." The boss changed his smiling face, as long as you have money, it doesn't matter whether you are a beggar or a prince, and his attitude became extremely attentive, saying that only noodles are served. The tea shed is as luxurious as a restaurant.

"Give us a bowl of noodles each, and put more scorpion seeds." Wang Huan looked at the clothes on the boss, it was a set of sackcloth. "Also, do you have any better clothes at home that the three of us can wear, and give me three sets."

Shopping for clothes in a tea shed?This was the first time since the store opened, the boss was suddenly dumbfounded, Wang Huan seemed to shake the silver inadvertently, which brought him back to his senses, and kept shouting: "Yes, yes, yes, three please Wait a minute, I'll look for it right away."

A quarter of an hour later, the six empty bowls on the table were eaten up to the point where there was not even soup left. The three of Wang Huan, who had changed their clothes, burped their bellies and walked out of the tea shed contentedly carrying the bag of snacks. The boss did not know where he got them, but they all fit well, but they were old linen clothes. Cotton clothes are still very expensive these days, and ordinary people at the bottom wear linen clothes. With a few hanging copper coins, the owner of the tea shed behind him was still graciously shouting: "Guest officer, go slowly, come again next time." He sold six bowls of noodles and three sets of sackcloth, and sold them for two taels of silver, making a fortune.

With money in the bag, it was like having courage in his heart. Wang Huan didn't panic anymore, and walked leisurely along the official road towards Yichang in the direction he had asked the tea shed owner.

Stepping on the thousand-year-old Jingxiang Ancient Road, Wang Huan felt as if he had passed away. The past few days experienced ups and downs. Countless close friends died. Of the fourteen young monks who left Yangzhou, only Chen Ergou and Xu Gou remained. Dan was still by his side, and the passionate scene in the Tiger Roaring Valley was still vivid in his memory. Whenever he remembered that moment, Wang Huan felt the pain in his chest that he couldn't let go of.

"I can't lose another person." Wang Huan looked at Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan who were walking ahead with a smile on their faces. "They are all partners who will follow me to the end. They are the most reliable people in troubled times. We must save their lives."
