Cannon Fodder of Rebirth

Chapter 56 The anger

After the second junior brother refused to wear women's clothing, I seriously thought about it. In order to avoid troubles, should I sacrifice myself to wear it?But then I thought again: As for me, no one will think I am a woman after wearing it. There is no silver 300 taels here, so it is easier to be suspected.So in the end we just wore coarse clothes, put some dust on our faces, and pushed the cart into the city. I also picked up a hat and put it on my head indiscriminately.When I walked to the city gate, I found that the atmosphere was really different. In front of the city gate, there were some unkempt, unshaven, weapons on their waists, and people with bright eyes guarded there, pretending to stare at passers-by casually.I thought to myself: In this way, who can fail to see that you are people from the Jianghu, and don't stare at the aunt so hard, beware of people hammering you with a hoe.

Of course, the guards at the city gate were still the government officials, and they seemed to have gotten used to it. Even though there was huge pressure behind them, they just casually questioned everyone who passed through the city gate, and their expressions were not serious at all.The second junior brother pushed a cart of firewood to the end of the line. I followed behind him, feeling a little uneasy, but it would be more suspicious to turn around and leave suddenly at this time.I can only try my best to make a dull expression and pretend to be a passerby.

When it was our turn, the officers and soldiers didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and asked routinely, "Why are you going to the city?"

Second Junior Brother whispered, "Bring firewood to Mr. Wang in the city."

The gate guard seemed to have nothing to say, raised his eyelids to look at me, and asked, "Who is that person behind you?"

I prepared my feelings, and was about to take a step forward to answer, but the second junior brother had already spoken: "He is my brother, who helps push the cart on the way."

Second Junior Brother, why did you take away my rare opportunity to perform... I thought resentfully, looking at those Jianghu people out of the corner of my eye, they didn't seem to notice anything wrong with us, all of them looked bored, and there was one person Zheng opened his mouth and yawned, his throat could be seen.

"Brother?" The guard was about to wave his hand to let us pass, but suddenly he squinted his eyes and laughed strangely: "The hands are so tender, who is it?"

I looked up at him in shock, is this about me? !Then he looked at his own hands, in fact, his hands were covered with dust earlier, and he couldn't tell whether they were tender or not, and he didn't know how his eyes could be so poisonous.But swordsmen usually attach great importance to their hands. The strangest one I know has to soak his hands in vinegar for two hours, then in salt water for two hours, and finally in milk for two hours... …Cut everything and serve it as a dish.Although I'm not so perverted, I usually wash my hands and cut my nails very frequently, and I'm also very careful not to hurt it. He said that my hands are tender... Is it a compliment?

Seeing that the two of us were silent, the guard pretended to check the firewood on the car, and whispered to the second junior brother: "Oh, don't pretend, the one behind is your wife, right? You are worried, so let her pretend to be a man." Come along, you can't see your face clearly, but your hands can't deceive anyone? Don't worry, I won't expose you, those behind you will not be a good person at first sight! In case your wife is seen... Tsk tsk." He looked at us with a kind "you see I'm a nice guy" expression.

I was wrong!Brother, your eyes are really terrible!Can wearing men's clothes be recognized as wrong these days? !

The second junior brother was obviously speechless, but his on-the-spot reaction was okay. Although he only said "um", there was a look of "since you can see it, I don't need to say more" on his face.In an unspeakable tacit understanding, the gatekeeper brother let us in.

I walked in with my head buried, and when I turned a corner and reached a place where I couldn't see the city gate, I took off the hat on my head and threw it down hard.

The second junior brother casually threw the car to the side of the road, looked at me with erratic eyes, and moved his lips: "Forget it."

The anger in my heart had no place to vent, I picked up my hat angrily, and followed my second junior brother to the biggest inn in the town.

In fact, there were quite a few people walking around with knives on the road, and the atmosphere was actually very tense. Fortunately, the second junior brother and I didn't look very conspicuous.I heard someone standing on the side of the road say, "These two look quite familiar."

The person beside him said: "Well, it should be the foolish man and woman who plowed the fields nearby, look at that hat is stupid."

...Don't stop me, I'm going to hack them to death, the second junior brother saw that I was wrong, and dragged me over, but the two idlers were still whistling behind us, I was so angry that I almost turned around and rushed over again, it was still the second brother The younger brother squeezed tightly again, and I felt a pain in my wrist before I woke up.

I'm really unlucky today, have I offended some god?By the way, did that thing in the earth temple make a lot of trouble, and the gods thought I was blaspheming him?

Walking carefully on the road, I finally arrived at the "Yuanlai Inn".There is an unwritten rule among the same family: if you make an appointment to meet in a certain inn, you will usually book the room on the farthest east.When my second junior brother and I walked into the inn, we were immediately stopped by someone, probably because we were wearing too shabby clothes, so I coughed and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, may I ask if anyone has reserved the room at the far east? Let's come Looking for relatives."

The man gave me a disgusted look, and replied: "Well, there are indeed a few poor ghosts who have booked a room." As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the uncle and the others, but I didn't know what they did to be regarded as poor. Ghost, although we are a bit poor, we are not so poor!My sense of responsibility as the head ran out again, and I almost wanted to point my sword at the man's neck to question him, but seeing that the second junior brother had already started to walk inside, I couldn't hold back my words, and walked away with my hands clasped.

Standing at the door of the room, I swallowed nervously and knocked on the door lightly a few times, feeling my heart pounding, only to hear a hoarse voice from inside: "Who is it?"

I couldn't tell who it was from the tone, so I whispered, "Uncle, I'm your eldest nephew, here to deliver firewood."

The door was opened at once, and I saw my junior brother looking at me in surprise and joy. The uncle was sitting at the table in the room, holding a wine gourd in his hand.I have to say that their ideas are really similar to ours. They are all dressed in rough and torn clothes, and the faces of the younger brothers are still dirty. I feel a little distressed: "Why do you make yourself look bad?"

He didn't answer, and threw himself into my arms happily. I guess this scene must look like two bumpkins who just finished planting fields in the eyes of others.Seeing the uncle standing up, the expression on his face became very gratified. Thinking of the grievances I suffered earlier, I suddenly choked up: "Master, uncle..."

In the end, the uncle passed me and went directly to pat the second junior brother on the shoulder: "Well, I feel relieved when we meet, why do you look thinner? Did you bully by your senior brother?"

I felt like I was hit with a stick: "You really don't care about me..."

"Hmph, hum, hum." Master looked at me with a half-smile, "Didn't you have a good time living there? I see you are all red..."

I was taken aback: "Who said I'm happy? Besides, my face is as black as the bottom of a pot. How can I tell whether it's red or not? This is blatant slander!"

The uncle said: "How did I hear that you hit it off with Master Cang Ling and eloped with him in front of the entire Wulin?"

I said: "Nonsense! I didn't do it voluntarily, I was obviously arrested! His martial arts skills are too high, if you... arrest the second junior brother, the second junior brother will also be arrested without a fight!"

Seeing that Huatou was attracted to him somehow, the second junior brother's expression froze.

The uncle said suspiciously: "Really? Then why didn't you catch others? To be honest, I heard Lao Song from the Jiuhua School say that the devil looks good. Did you catch someone else?" And then a wink or something to make it look like this?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master... I won't wink at you, what kind of image do I have in your heart?"

"What kind of image..." The uncle snorted, "I'm really ashamed in front of those old guys this time."

I knew I was wrong, so I obediently bowed my head and was scolded.

The junior brother was beside me complaining for me: "Uncle, this is not the fault of the elder brother."

The uncle stared: "Of course I know, but I have been ridiculed for so long, and I have a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart. If I don't ask him, who can I look for?"

I understand... Uncle Shi, I bowed my head depressedly, my own temperament of wantonly venting anger is inherited from you.

As a result, the second junior brother suddenly said: "If you say it again, I will lose my face."

The uncle stared at him, and I stared at him, and the room fell silent again for a while.

Forget it... Seeing the strong aura exuded by the two of them, I turned to look at my junior brother. He was a little nervous, but he still smiled when he saw me, with a small dimple on his face.I am filled with emotions... You are more able to soothe the soul.
