Difficult to be the landlord of time travel
Chapter 23
Jiang Shuai was not wrong.As soon as I got off the boat, I was surrounded by people from all directions.They were all wearing military uniforms, it seemed that they had already set up the formation, and were just waiting for Jiang Shuai to break in.
"Bold traitor, today I was ordered to arrest you and bring you back to justice." A row of people behind held torches.
This is a major trading port.Usually there is absolutely no such formation, these people are all armed with swords.The porters around them immediately put down their things and fled in all directions. There was a panic on the pier.
Jiang Shuai had long expected that they would have such a change, so it was not very strange.Thanks to the thorough preparations.Jian Nuanyi had already taken advantage of the chaos and escaped.He also breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, I follow the martial arts skills given by Fu Wenyu every day, and practice diligently, and now I just use them to practice my hands: "Stop talking nonsense, Jiang Dong asked you to come!"
These people are all black knights who work with the general, similar to the shadow guards of the royal family.The person who can be selected as a black knight is very skilled, and his experience is far beyond that of a rookie like Jiang Shuai.
Was Jiang Shuai surrounded by groups? He decided to strike first when he moved.He transferred his internal energy to the palm of his hand and hit the person in front of him hard. The person was caught off guard and accompanied by a scream, he was beaten hard.
These people are working in the Chiang Mansion, so they naturally know about this idiot Second Patriarch.They all committed the problem of underestimating the enemy.Jiang Shuai snatched his knife and immediately started fighting with these people.
Those people were secretly startled, they never expected that there was a master hidden under their noses.
Jiang Shuai was intercepted at the pier.Great movement.The expression of the captain of the scholar changed. I didn't expect these people here to dare to make trouble. It seems that they have provoked people who shouldn't be provoked.Said: "Turn the boat over there and hide behind the two merchant ships." Jiang Shuai was stopped by them as soon as he got off the boat.Means the ship is also exposed.There are so many people in the yamen, it will be troublesome if they rush up.
"But he hasn't come up yet?" Fu Wenyu panicked when he saw the boat move.
Look at the pier side is already playing in full swing.The figure is inseparable.
Captain Scholar originally wanted to buy some things, but he couldn't go down. Seeing his anxious expression, he said: "He will come to us. We will wait here."
Fu Wenyu raised his heart.
Time passed slowly.He was getting more and more uneasy.Both Su Yuan and Ming Xiang were around him, and the sense of fear spread in this small space. These days, he has become accustomed to regard Jiang Shuai as the backbone.
After a while, I heard Captain Scholar hurriedly say: "It's been an hour. Brother Jiang Shuai said when he was leaving, if he hasn't boarded the boat yet, we will drive away."
With so many things happening at the ferry, many boats have already sailed out.I was afraid that something terrible would happen.
Fu Wenyu said: "Wait a little longer."
Although the captain of the scholar is usually generous, he dare not joke about the lives of these brothers: "The ship has been exposed, the later it is, the harder it is to go."
Fu Wenyu got up and said, "Then wait another quarter of an hour. If he still doesn't board the boat, we'll leave!"
Captain Scholar took a fixed look at him and said, "Okay."
After seeing him off, the palms of his hands were full of sweat, and there was a trace of hope in his heart.Hope he gets on board soon.Even Su Yuan and Ming Xiang are much more honest now.
Suddenly the three of them shook.Fu Wenyu's face suddenly turned pale, and the boat sailed away!Hastily opened the door of the room, and saw Jiang Shuai walking here step by step covered in blood from a distance.His movements were very slow, and every step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength.
Wherever he walked, there were bloodstains all the way.
Fu Wenyu looked at him immediately: "How are you?"
Both Su Yuan and Ming Xiang were frightened and did not move.
It was Fu Wenyu who put him on the bed and took off his clothes to see that he had been stabbed in the chest.He was also stabbed in the shoulder.If he hadn't carried a silver needle with him to stop the bleeding, he would have lost too much blood and died by now.
Although the wound was terrible, fortunately it didn't hurt the vitals.
Immediately wrap it with gold sore medicine.Fortunately, he brought a 50-year-old ginseng with him before he left, and now he just cut a few slices and asked Su Yuan to cook a blood-enriching decoction.
Seeing how nervous they were, Jiang Shuai relaxed and said, "I'm fine, at least I won't die!"
Only Ming Xiang noticed that Jiang Shuai came back alone.He said, "Where's Nuan Yi? Why didn't you come back." At the beginning, they said that the two of them would go shopping.Ming Xiang was still a little unconvinced.Seeing the current appearance, he was immediately petrified.Even speaking became stuttering.
Jiang Shuai's silence.It also confirmed the terrible thoughts in Ming Xiang's heart, that he must have died by their swords.Thinking about it this way, there is a feeling of sadness when the rabbit dies and the fox dies.Woohoo cried.
Fu Wenyu said: "Go back to your room and rest first." His nerves were also tense for a long time, and he finally relaxed. Hearing him crying made him even more flustered.
Ming Xiang sniffed, and silently backed out.
There were only the two of them left in the room.Jiang Shuai blinked at Fu Wenyu: "I have already sent people out." In fact, after sending people away, he used his lightness kung fu to escape quickly, but he had already revealed that he didn't want to bring trouble to the boat, so he had to hold on to them. All resolved.
Fu Wenyu looked at him: "I know." Jiang Shuai lay on the bed, relaxed and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.Sleeping and waking up, I only felt that the palm on one side was always warm, and everyone had a tacit understanding. No one asked what happened at the port.Captain Shusheng was afraid of getting into trouble, so he started driving at the fastest speed.
In one night, I ran the original two-day journey.
By the time Jiang Dong got the news again, it was already the fifth day of the day.The Flying Pigeon's legend said that thirty black knights died.Jiang Shuai took advantage of the chaos and fled.
"A bunch of trash." Jiang Dong's face changed completely.He knew that it would be difficult to intercept the waterway that ran and walked here.How can he swallow this breath.
Fortunately, the boy around him relieved the boredom, anyway, the arrest warrants all over the country have been issued.Even if he can escape today, he cannot escape tomorrow.
On the boat, Jiang Shuai's physical condition was not good.Although the bleeding stopped.But these days, the fever comes and goes again and again.Fortunately, he had brought enough medicine before, otherwise he would have escaped alive.Also die on board.
It took half a month for his health to start to improve.
There is not much rice on board.He didn't dare to go to the shore, so he had to eat fish every day to supplement his nutrition, which made Jiang Shuai feel nauseous when he saw the fish.Counting the days, we are about to land.The waterway for two months has been very smooth.
Full of plans: Roast chicken, bear's paw, roast suckling pig and other delicacies.The nagging Su Yuan and Ming Xiang were too greedy.
But Fu Wenyu said: "Don't you think you can still stay in the inn after causing such a big disaster?"
It's like pouring a basin of cold water on them.
They are fleeing now, and there are people in the capital who want them to die, and they are afraid that they will be arrested as soon as the food is ordered and before they are in a hurry to eat.
"Then what should we do?" Su Yuan was the youngest, and was terrified after hearing this.
"Take the mountain road." Fu Wenyu read the customs and scripts over there, and approached the border.There are many mountain roads to walk.These people are too conspicuous.Even a little detour is okay. After all, safety is the most important thing. "Let's buy a carriage, like it was before."
Jiang Shuai was dejected, and his wish to have a big meal failed again.They didn't even take a shower these days on the boat, and fresh water on the boat was a rare thing.It turned out that I was looking forward to finding an inn to relax after going ashore.But I only found out after being reminded by Fu Wenyu.It's not safe after all. Right now, I just hope to get to the territory as soon as possible.
Finally disembarked, the scholar captain was greedy for money, but he was still honest and reliable.Before leaving, he gave him 200 taels of silver as a thank you.
When Captain Scholar was happy, he meant to give him a way out.Their identities must not be exposed now. There is a black market near this city. Although the prices are a bit more expensive, they can buy what they want.
Jiang Shuai went to the black market to buy some daily necessities, a carriage and a groom who could take them to the fief. The money he spent was so much that it hurt his heart.
There was another bump in the carriage.Along the way, I also met a few unremarkable thieves.In the end, before Jiang Shuai could make a move, the groom subdued them.The ones that cost a lot of money are really different.Only by comforting himself in this way can Jiang Shuai relieve the heartache of being slaughtered, and now he is looking forward to arriving in the fief as soon as possible.
Jiang Shuai bumped all the way, and his whole body was ashamed. He finally arrived at the fief, and now he wanted to go back quickly, take a bath and have a good rest. After several months of journey, he finally arrived.
But when he first walked into Lingyun City, he was stunned.It looks like a dead city.Every house was closed, and occasionally a few beggars sat on the side of the road, humming uncontrollably under the sun.It's hard to hear.
Jiang Shuai had already sent the signal when he was outside the city, so they should have arrived by now.People from the Jiang family are stationed here, and I heard that many of them were people who fought with grandpa back then.The old lady in Jiang's residence also said that those people couldn't be more secure.He will never be wronged.Not to mention eating and sleeping in the open air along the way, he finally arrived at the fief, and thought that he could live a peaceful life like a dandy, a rich man in the country, but everything was different from what he imagined.
The uneasiness in Jiang Shuai's heart gradually spread.
After a while, I saw dust coming from a distance. The place is extremely dry, and the wind and sand are so strong that I can't see what happened. I can only feel the creaking sound from far to near.
"Grandpa... must be here to pick us up..." Before Ming Xiang finished speaking, he stopped instantly, as if he was being strangled by the neck, unable to say anything, a pair of fox eyes widened boss.I rubbed my eyes and couldn't believe it.
His face looked as if a dye shop had been knocked over, turning blue for a while, and white for a while.
Oncoming was actually a bullock cart, on which three or five middle-aged men sat slowly, with yellow and emaciated faces, as if they had escaped from a refugee camp.The clothes on his body are also patch upon patch.
The fat man who jumped off the bullock cart said, "But young master Jiang Shuai?"
Jiang Shuai suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said, "Exactly."
"The servant is the official family of this fief, I respectfully invite you to return to the mansion." While speaking, he knelt down directly.He didn't know how many years he had worn the clothes, and the cloth was a little bad.When the legs were bent like this, there was only a creaking sound.From the crotch to the calf.Showing the white fat inside.
The rest of the people in the bullock cart quickly knelt down around him, as if they wanted to cover him up.
Jiang Shuai's face turned red and white.In such a poor place, a sense of cheated anger rose spontaneously.Along the way, the Xanadu that I had been thinking about all the way turned out to be like this.The longing along the way has become a joke.
No wonder Jiang Dong didn't come back after being damaged a few times.Where is this place to be a domineering place, it's almost as good as being exiled.
"Get up." The words Jiang Shuai squeezed out between his teeth.
Ming Xiang seemed to be strangled by someone, from the beginning until now, his cheeks were always red.The eyes can see, but it still seems to be in a dream.
Fu Wenyu was quite surprised.But he had never seen such a big storm, and he was able to hide his surprise. In contrast, Su Yuan didn't have such a good concentration. He looked at the bullock cart with shocked eyes, and looked at Jiang Shuai for a while.
The chubby butler quickly got up from the ground: "Master, you can get in the car."
Jiang Shuai's face moved slightly: "No, I'd better walk."
"There's still a long way to go." The official advised him to get in the car.
Jiang Shuai's face was hard to see to a certain extent, looking at the skinny old cow, the speed of the car was not fast enough.Naturally refused.
Facing the sun at noon, I walked for a full two hours.Jiang Shuai couldn't even express the strength of cursing.Along the way, his face was so stinky that even a blind man could feel it.
After finally arriving at Jiang's Mansion, it looks exactly like the General's Mansion in the capital from the outside, from the plaque to the two stone lions in front of the gate, they all exude a kind of majesty.
But when I walked in, the good blue bricks and stones in the front yard were gone, replaced by arable land, with a row of green onions planted in it, which was so dry by the sun that I couldn't even lift my head up.
Only a small stone road was opened in the middle.The lotus pond that should have been in the back has been changed into a fish pond, which is full of five or six catties of grass carp, with a fishy smell.It is not half elegant, and there are a group of ducklings next to it.
The pungent smell of shallots, the fishy smell, and the smell of birds are intertwined.Just one word, smelly.
But the housekeeper didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he introduced it triumphantly. In summer, he can catch fish to eat at any time. The ducks are all free-range and can grow well without spending much money on food. The vegetable garden in front is even more unique to him. Design, you can eat fresh vegetables all year round without starving to death.
Jiang Shuai lost his temper because of what he saw and heard along the way.I had no choice but to take you back to the room first.It was completely speechless when we got to the guest room. There was nothing but a table and a bed. There were no such shabby ones in the temples in the capital.
The housekeeper said to Fu Wenyu: "This is my wife, she looks really good-looking. Eyebrows are eyebrows, and eyes are eyes." He flattered.But it didn't taste good to hear it.
Fu Wenyu blushed and coughed a few times.Even Su Yuan felt ashamed and flustered when he was beside him, this person was too bad at talking, not even half as good as him, so it was an anecdote that he could be a housekeeper just like that.
Jiang Shuai didn't care to pack his things, so he sat down on the hard bed and said, "I've been in the capital all these years, so I know very little about things here, and I hope the housekeeper can explain it clearly to me."
The butler has never been in Lingyun City in his life, and he is very respectful and diligent to Jiang Shuai's identity as he came from the capital.Not daring to hide anything, he said: "My father and the others were all soldiers when they fought against the country, and they came back after a big victory. The general thought it was a good place, and let them stay here as a fief. It must be left to future generations."
Here is close to the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and there are constant wars every year. Foreign bandits and barbarians often burn, kill and plunder.Everyone had been on the battlefield before.I am not afraid.It was also prosperous here.
But in recent years, the weather has been severely drought.There was war and famine again, and everyone who could go left.In addition, the barbarians always go to the city to grab things.Every time a battle is fought, many people die.Gradually it became what it is now. "
Jiang Shuai grasped an important point: "You mean that the only people left in the city today are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled."
The butler gave an embarrassed grace.
Covering the trouser line with your hands, although there are no women here, it is too shameful to do this in front of the master.
Jiang Shuai's mood was like mourning.
The butler blinked at his master, but Jiang Shuai, who was immersed in a depressed mood, didn't notice it.Instead, Fu Wenyu, who was next to him, saw clearly that the distance between the two was very close, and he squeezed him calmly.
Only then did Jiang Shuai come to his senses and saw the butler, winking and frowning, hesitant to speak.
I can't complain anymore, and he did it too obviously.The people around me saw all of them clearly.Jiang Shuai's already depressed heart was filled with a layer of wind and frost, the fiefdom became an empty shell, and a careless housekeeper was added.I just want to die, it's boring to be a human being!
After a long silence, he said to everyone: "Clean up, I'll go out and have a look."
Follow the butler out.
The housekeeper smiled obsequiously and said: "Actually, there are still men in the mansion. It was said in the letter from the capital that Master likes men. I have been looking here for a long time, and I will keep one in the mansion so that I can serve you."
"No need." Jiang Shuai still believed him now, so he was out of ghosts.
But the housekeeper was embarrassed to treat him, and said: "He has been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, he dragged Jiang Shuai down to a remote wing.open the door.
I saw a tall and strong man.Jiang Shuai petrified on the spot.
The man's arms are thicker than his legs.Like a small bull, really strong.
Jiang Shuai ran away when he saw this.
The butler behind him didn't know, so he hurriedly chased after him. It didn't count if he chased after him, and the strong man behind him also ran out.I don't know if it was an illusion, Jiang Shuai only felt that the stone slabs on the ground were trembling.
"Master, haven't you said whether you like it or not?" The voice was so loud and full of energy that the entire Lingyun City could hear it clearly.
"Stop shouting!" Jiang Shuai's face flushed, he was angry: "Don't make such a mess. I have a wife."
The butler looked at the uncle half understanding: "Shouldn't men have three wives and four concubines?"
The strong man caught up with Jiang Shuai and said, "Master, what's wrong with me, you can tell me it's not good there! I'll change..." He spoke a strong local dialect.Make this strong man so anxious that people starve to death every day in Lingyun City. If the housekeeper didn't see him in good health and brought him to the mansion, he would probably starve to death too. Although he doesn't know how to serve the uncle, he just Knowing that here, although two meals a day are not enough to have meat, they are still satisfying.After finally meeting the uncle, of course we can't let such a good thing get away from him.
Jiang Shuai said: "It has nothing to do with you."
Unexpectedly, the strong man looked at him tearfully, pouted, like a wronged big stupid dog.
Jiang Shuai's brain is throbbing with pain, and even if he eats delicacies from mountains and seas now, it can't make up for the wound in his heart.He said to the steward: "We are all tired today, we have to go back to rest, let's talk about what we have to say tomorrow." After speaking, he said to the strong man: "What can you do with chores?"
The strong man nodded hurriedly.
"Then you boil a few buckets of water, I want to take a bath."
"En." He nodded heavily, knowing that in this way, the master would not let him go easily.Very attentive.But the housekeeper frowned again and again, if the master didn't accept him as a roommate, then there would be no need to waste any food.This bastard looked quite naive, but he reacted quite quickly when it came to the real chapter.
Jiang Shuai went straight back to the room.Facing the barren walls and the ducks calling outside, I wanted to cry but had no tears.
Fu Wenyu naturally slept in the same room with him. Compared with his troubles, Fu Wenyu seemed to have no worries.He also took out a book bought on the side of the road.Sitting by the window with interest, I read carefully.
Although his eyes stayed on the book, he didn't see him turn a page for a long time, but he could feel the sighing of the person on the bed.The corner of his mouth couldn't help but laugh. =
Jiang Shuai rolled his hair into a mess.Standing up angrily: "It's so unfair!"
He has been here since.If you don't enjoy a little blessing, you will suffer a lot of crimes.
After taking a few deep breaths, he performed a set of calm Tai Chi in the room. After exercising his muscles and bones, he sweated a lot, and he felt much better. He was not afraid to disturb Fu Wenyu and said, "How much of our stuff is left?"
Fu Wenyu was more careful, and he took care of all the purchases along the way: "There are still 1000 taels of silver. Each person has two sets of clothes for washing, and there is half a bag of rice noodles in the carriage before we come. There are also various wound medicines and decoctions. A small stove for medicine, I also got two sets of silver needles you asked for last time, and three short daggers."
"En." Jiang Shuai nodded: "How far is it from the nearest city?"
"Ten days." Fu Wenyu remembered it clearly when he came.
Jiang Shuai knew it well.
But Fu Wenyu asked doubts.Not sure what exactly he wants to do.1000 taels of silver is considered a large sum of money in this borderland.Could it be that he wants to leave here.
Jiang Shuai saw what he was thinking and said, "Let's see tomorrow."
"Bold traitor, today I was ordered to arrest you and bring you back to justice." A row of people behind held torches.
This is a major trading port.Usually there is absolutely no such formation, these people are all armed with swords.The porters around them immediately put down their things and fled in all directions. There was a panic on the pier.

Oncoming was actually a bullock cart, on which three or five middle-aged men sat slowly, with yellow and emaciated faces, as if they had escaped from a refugee camp.The clothes on his body are also patch upon patch.
The fat man who jumped off the bullock cart said, "But young master Jiang Shuai?"
Jiang Shuai suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said, "Exactly."
"The servant is the official family of this fief, I respectfully invite you to return to the mansion." While speaking, he knelt down directly.He didn't know how many years he had worn the clothes, and the cloth was a little bad.When the legs were bent like this, there was only a creaking sound.From the crotch to the calf.Showing the white fat inside.
The rest of the people in the bullock cart quickly knelt down around him, as if they wanted to cover him up.
Jiang Shuai's face turned red and white.In such a poor place, a sense of cheated anger rose spontaneously.Along the way, the Xanadu that I had been thinking about all the way turned out to be like this.The longing along the way has become a joke.
No wonder Jiang Dong didn't come back after being damaged a few times.Where is this place to be a domineering place, it's almost as good as being exiled.
"Get up." The words Jiang Shuai squeezed out between his teeth.
Ming Xiang seemed to be strangled by someone, from the beginning until now, his cheeks were always red.The eyes can see, but it still seems to be in a dream.
Fu Wenyu was quite surprised.But he had never seen such a big storm, and he was able to hide his surprise. In contrast, Su Yuan didn't have such a good concentration. He looked at the bullock cart with shocked eyes, and looked at Jiang Shuai for a while.
The chubby butler quickly got up from the ground: "Master, you can get in the car."
Jiang Shuai's face moved slightly: "No, I'd better walk."
"There's still a long way to go." The official advised him to get in the car.
Jiang Shuai's face was hard to see to a certain extent, looking at the skinny old cow, the speed of the car was not fast enough.Naturally refused.
Facing the sun at noon, I walked for a full two hours.Jiang Shuai couldn't even express the strength of cursing.Along the way, his face was so stinky that even a blind man could feel it.
After finally arriving at Jiang's Mansion, it looks exactly like the General's Mansion in the capital from the outside, from the plaque to the two stone lions in front of the gate, they all exude a kind of majesty.
But when I walked in, the good blue bricks and stones in the front yard were gone, replaced by arable land, with a row of green onions planted in it, which was so dry by the sun that I couldn't even lift my head up.
Only a small stone road was opened in the middle.The lotus pond that should have been in the back has been changed into a fish pond, which is full of five or six catties of grass carp, with a fishy smell.It is not half elegant, and there are a group of ducklings next to it.
The pungent smell of shallots, the fishy smell, and the smell of birds are intertwined.Just one word, smelly.
But the housekeeper didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he introduced it triumphantly. In summer, he can catch fish to eat at any time. The ducks are all free-range and can grow well without spending much money on food. The vegetable garden in front is even more unique to him. Design, you can eat fresh vegetables all year round without starving to death.
Jiang Shuai lost his temper because of what he saw and heard along the way.I had no choice but to take you back to the room first.It was completely speechless when we got to the guest room. There was nothing but a table and a bed. There were no such shabby ones in the temples in the capital.
The housekeeper said to Fu Wenyu: "This is my wife, she looks really good-looking. Eyebrows are eyebrows, and eyes are eyes." He flattered.But it didn't taste good to hear it.
Fu Wenyu blushed and coughed a few times.Even Su Yuan felt ashamed and flustered when he was beside him, this person was too bad at talking, not even half as good as him, so it was an anecdote that he could be a housekeeper just like that.
Jiang Shuai didn't care to pack his things, so he sat down on the hard bed and said, "I've been in the capital all these years, so I know very little about things here, and I hope the housekeeper can explain it clearly to me."
The butler has never been in Lingyun City in his life, and he is very respectful and diligent to Jiang Shuai's identity as he came from the capital.Not daring to hide anything, he said: "My father and the others were all soldiers when they fought against the country, and they came back after a big victory. The general thought it was a good place, and let them stay here as a fief. It must be left to future generations."
Here is close to the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and there are constant wars every year. Foreign bandits and barbarians often burn, kill and plunder.Everyone had been on the battlefield before.I am not afraid.It was also prosperous here.
But in recent years, the weather has been severely drought.There was war and famine again, and everyone who could go left.In addition, the barbarians always go to the city to grab things.Every time a battle is fought, many people die.Gradually it became what it is now. "
Jiang Shuai grasped an important point: "You mean that the only people left in the city today are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled."
The butler gave an embarrassed grace.
Covering the trouser line with your hands, although there are no women here, it is too shameful to do this in front of the master.
Jiang Shuai's mood was like mourning.
The butler blinked at his master, but Jiang Shuai, who was immersed in a depressed mood, didn't notice it.Instead, Fu Wenyu, who was next to him, saw clearly that the distance between the two was very close, and he squeezed him calmly.
Only then did Jiang Shuai come to his senses and saw the butler, winking and frowning, hesitant to speak.
I can't complain anymore, and he did it too obviously.The people around me saw all of them clearly.Jiang Shuai's already depressed heart was filled with a layer of wind and frost, the fiefdom became an empty shell, and a careless housekeeper was added.I just want to die, it's boring to be a human being!
After a long silence, he said to everyone: "Clean up, I'll go out and have a look."
Follow the butler out.
The housekeeper smiled obsequiously and said: "Actually, there are still men in the mansion. It was said in the letter from the capital that Master likes men. I have been looking here for a long time, and I will keep one in the mansion so that I can serve you."
"No need." Jiang Shuai still believed him now, so he was out of ghosts.
But the housekeeper was embarrassed to treat him, and said: "He has been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, he dragged Jiang Shuai down to a remote wing.open the door.
I saw a tall and strong man.Jiang Shuai petrified on the spot.
The man's arms are thicker than his legs.Like a small bull, really strong.
Jiang Shuai ran away when he saw this.
The butler behind him didn't know, so he hurriedly chased after him. It didn't count if he chased after him, and the strong man behind him also ran out.I don't know if it was an illusion, Jiang Shuai only felt that the stone slabs on the ground were trembling.
"Master, haven't you said whether you like it or not?" The voice was so loud and full of energy that the entire Lingyun City could hear it clearly.
"Stop shouting!" Jiang Shuai's face flushed, he was angry: "Don't make such a mess. I have a wife."
The butler looked at the uncle half understanding: "Shouldn't men have three wives and four concubines?"
The strong man caught up with Jiang Shuai and said, "Master, what's wrong with me, you can tell me it's not good there! I'll change..." He spoke a strong local dialect.Make this strong man so anxious that people starve to death every day in Lingyun City. If the housekeeper didn't see him in good health and brought him to the mansion, he would probably starve to death too. Although he doesn't know how to serve the uncle, he just Knowing that here, although two meals a day are not enough to have meat, they are still satisfying.After finally meeting the uncle, of course we can't let such a good thing get away from him.
Jiang Shuai said: "It has nothing to do with you."
Unexpectedly, the strong man looked at him tearfully, pouted, like a wronged big stupid dog.
Jiang Shuai's brain is throbbing with pain, and even if he eats delicacies from mountains and seas now, it can't make up for the wound in his heart.He said to the steward: "We are all tired today, we have to go back to rest, let's talk about what we have to say tomorrow." After speaking, he said to the strong man: "What can you do with chores?"
The strong man nodded hurriedly.
"Then you boil a few buckets of water, I want to take a bath."
"En." He nodded heavily, knowing that in this way, the master would not let him go easily.Very attentive.But the housekeeper frowned again and again, if the master didn't accept him as a roommate, then there would be no need to waste any food.This bastard looked quite naive, but he reacted quite quickly when it came to the real chapter.
Jiang Shuai went straight back to the room.Facing the barren walls and the ducks calling outside, I wanted to cry but had no tears.
Fu Wenyu naturally slept in the same room with him. Compared with his troubles, Fu Wenyu seemed to have no worries.He also took out a book bought on the side of the road.Sitting by the window with interest, I read carefully.
Although his eyes stayed on the book, he didn't see him turn a page for a long time, but he could feel the sighing of the person on the bed.The corner of his mouth couldn't help but laugh. =
Jiang Shuai rolled his hair into a mess.Standing up angrily: "It's so unfair!"
He has been here since.If you don't enjoy a little blessing, you will suffer a lot of crimes.
After taking a few deep breaths, he performed a set of calm Tai Chi in the room. After exercising his muscles and bones, he sweated a lot, and he felt much better. He was not afraid to disturb Fu Wenyu and said, "How much of our stuff is left?"
Fu Wenyu was more careful, and he took care of all the purchases along the way: "There are still 1000 taels of silver. Each person has two sets of clothes for washing, and there is half a bag of rice noodles in the carriage before we come. There are also various wound medicines and decoctions. A small stove for medicine, I also got two sets of silver needles you asked for last time, and three short daggers."
"En." Jiang Shuai nodded: "How far is it from the nearest city?"
"Ten days." Fu Wenyu remembered it clearly when he came.
Jiang Shuai knew it well.
But Fu Wenyu asked doubts.Not sure what exactly he wants to do.1000 taels of silver is considered a large sum of money in this borderland.Could it be that he wants to leave here.
Jiang Shuai saw what he was thinking and said, "Let's see tomorrow."
