Drunken Amtang

A thin layer of frost formed on the grass in the early morning, and the creatures who had rested in the forest all night began to move. An Yao woke up early, caught a few fish, pierced them with tree branches, and roasted them on the fire.

He didn't need to eat, but Su Tang couldn't. Su Tang was awakened by the smell of fish. He was still wrapped in An Yao's robe, and An Yao was only wearing a white inner garment. He sat cross-legged by the fire and roasted fish.

"When I woke up, I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I grilled some fish for you."

Su Tang went over and put the robe on An Yao's shoulders, and then sat cross-legged beside her.He didn't move, just stared at An Yao's face.

"If you don't eat, what are you staring at me for?"

"I'm thinking you're still the same as ever."

An Yao shook the fingers holding the branch,

"I can't tell if you are Xuemo or Su Tang."

"Yaoyao, Hua Lingxuemo is dead, he may care about all living beings, but now I just want to spend this life with you as Su Tang, even if it's only a few decades, maybe only in this way, I'm real Live it, when I get old and become a white-haired old man, don't dislike me."

An Yao put the grilled fish in his hand into his mouth, Su Tang took it,

"Listen to what you're saying. I've lived with you for decades. You're dead, you're consummated. What about me? You don't want to leave me this time. Even if you die, I won't leave you." I will never let you step on the bridge of Naihe, no matter if Huang Quan is your companion, or turn you into a lonely ghost, unless I am wiped out, you don't want to leave me alone."

Su Tang heard his voice trembling, held his cold hand,

"Okay, I was wrong. I won't leave this time. I will guard you. No matter what happens, I will guard you."

An Yao took a piece of clothing from a nearby village for Su Tang to wear, and left some silver taels in front of that family's door. In order not to attract attention, he turned into an ordinary woman and pretended to be a couple with Su Tang.

The two speculated about the possible direction of Xiao Shisan, and finally decided to go to Siam City first. Xiao Shisan mentioned that he was picked up there, and he might think of it first when he had nowhere to go.

I hired a carriage from the city and drove towards Siam City. Passing the city gate, I saw several arrest warrants posted on the notice board. Su Tang's portrait was normal, but An Yao was painted with a ferocious look. It was obvious that the story of him killing people in the military camp was spread.

An Yao looked helplessly at his fierce hanging eyes in the portrait,

"Did they really think that portrait half resembled me?"

Su Tang took a few serious glances,

"Except for the flower on the forehead, everything else is not like you."

After the carriage left the city, it traveled southward for more than ten miles, the driver reined in the reins,

"We've arrived at the station, let's rest our horses, and the two of you should also come down to rest for a while and have something to eat."

The two got out of the carriage in response, and the coachman took the carriage aside and fed the horses with water and grain.There was a small wonton stand in front of the station, Su Tang ordered two bowls of wontons, and the two sat down at an empty small square table.

Not far away, there are several tables of passers-by who are also eating wontons.

"Have you heard? It is said that Mr. Antang in Wucheng is a monster."

An Yao was just scooping up a wonton and talking into his mouth, when he heard the guest at the table next to him say such a sentence, the hand holding the spoon suddenly stopped.

Su Tang heard it too, looked up and looked over there, the man's voice was not low at all, seeing that the eyes of the customers at the stall were all attracted to him, he spoke more vigorously.

"It is said that the son was born beautiful, can he not be beautiful? How can ordinary people look like that? Now that he is a monster, doesn't that make sense? It is said that he broke into the military camp before and chopped up a dozen people alive. Meat sauce, a fellow of mine was there at the time, and since then he has been like a fool, lost his mind, and rushed his wife everywhere to pray to God and worship Buddha."

The guest next to him heard him finish his sentence,

"How did I hear that the young master took General Su away after he broke into the barracks?"

"Shh, you called the general to the rebels, and the officers and soldiers overheard you, so I cut your tongue out carefully!"

"That person surnamed Su is also a monster, right? The people of Wucheng must be scared to death every day. I don't know where there are two monsters hiding in the city. If they are unlucky, they will be caught and eaten."

The owner of the wonton at the back of the stall heard their discussion and yelled at the person who spoke up first,

"I said, Second Sun, it's already this hour and you still don't leave. Whose letter fell into the hands of a postman like you is really bad luck for eight lifetimes, and your broken mouth, you just go around when you hear anything." Huo Huo Huo, how can there be so many monsters? The passers-by have heard what you said, and they dare not come to Wucheng in the future. Is my wonton stand still open? Do you support my family?"

As he spoke, he slammed the machete used for minced meat on the chopping board,

"Okay, Uncle Wu, I'm not going to say anything, what are you afraid of, I just like to talk about new things, to relieve everyone's boredom, but everyone doesn't take it seriously, brother, do you think so, Ang"

Watching Su Tang lift his chin, Su Tang thought it was a proposition, he could feel the gaze of the boss behind him, An Yao put down the spoon in his hand and spoke first,

"Brother, let's make jokes with someone else. My family is honest and quiet, and their brains are straight, so they don't understand jokes."

"Brother, your mother-in-law is very smart. No wonder you are a couple. They complement each other. I have seen all the guests who come and go to this inn. Look at your face, where are you going?"

"We've been living in Wucheng and haven't been out much. This time, a distant relative in Siam has a happy event in a few days. We're going to have a wedding."

"I went to Siam City a few years ago to deliver a letter. That place is very gloomy. Anyway, I don't want to go there again, but the scenery is good. You and your husband can just visit for a few days, but there is one thing. It should be noted that a lady from the official family died in Nanshan before. It is said that people who entered the mountain at night heard the sound of a woman crying in the mountain, and more than one person heard it. They all said that the ghost of the lady was causing trouble. You guys It's better to stay away from that unlucky place."

"Thank you for reminding me, brother."

"I have to go to work. If I stay any longer, Uncle Wu will chop me into wonton stuffing."
