It took a little long for the subordinate officials.
Captain Yang's limited patience was exhausted. His horse's hooves stepped on the puddles, splashing mud-colored water. He stepped forward on his horse, donned a ferocious beast-head armor, and looked down at the old man with a hunched back, which brought great impact to the latter.
The oppression made my shoulders tremble with fear.
"Are these two?"
The official answered truthfully.
Captain Yang glanced at the old man with a weathered face and the shriveled and thin shepherd boy. The grandfather and grandson had sunburn scars on their faces after years of exposure to the sun, and their fingers had frostbite. The old man wore a broken hat with missing corners, and the shepherd boy
Wearing a loose old raincoat.
Looking from side to side, he looked like an ordinary person in this world. They were not the thieves he was worried about at all. Captain Yang's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but the anger in his heart had not been cleared away: "You two are not coming home at this time.
Home, what are you running around in the mountains for?"
The old man moved his lips, and said awkwardly and unjustly: "Master Bing clearly knows that I would not go home unless I waited. It's really..."
He looked at the direction in which Captain Yang and the others were coming. He hesitated to speak, but hesitated to speak. Although he did not speak, his cloudy eyes had already fully explained the vicissitudes and embarrassments. Captain Yang felt angry and coldly snorted: "
You old man are accusing me of blocking your way?"
The old man said with sincerity and fear: "Don't dare, don't dare."
He was so frightened by Captain Yang's words that his face turned pale.
The shepherd boy on the back of the cow bit his lower lip, lowered his head and hunched his shoulders, looking pitiful and helpless. Captain Yang did not want to embarrass the old and weak grandfather and grandson in front of so many people. He held the whip in his hand and walked towards the roadside.
Pointing: "You go over there, don't delay me from doing business."
Hearing this, the old man felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He nodded and knelt down and thanked Captain Yang repeatedly, not forgetting to say complimentary and auspicious words. Probably because he felt that his words were not meaningful enough, he tugged on his grandson's torn trouser legs to show that his grandson was also grateful to Yang Du.
There are a lot of captains.
The shepherd boy Qiqi Ai couldn't finish a sentence.
Duwei Yang secretly thought that it was unlucky that he still stuttered.
"Okay, okay, get out of here!"
The old man nodded while struggling to pull the disobedient old cow to the side of the road and out of the way. The tax team continued to crawl like a snail, and the old cow also carried the shepherd boy and slowly moved forward under the guidance of the old man.
,until--
"This old man, wait a minute!"
Zhai Le smiled and stepped forward to call out to the old man.
The old man's ears seemed to be not very good. He took a moment to come to his senses and raised his hands to him: "Hello, Master Soldier, what are your orders?"
Zhai Le asked: "Is there any jujube seller at my father-in-law's house?"
The old man was speechless. Although he was extremely puzzled, he still replied respectfully: "We don't sell dates at home, but we have two trees planted behind the house. One is an orange tree and the other is an orange tree. If the soldier doesn't mind it, and
Don’t leave here, I will bring it to you.”
Zhai Le didn't stop the old man just to eat oranges. But the old man's enthusiasm made him a little embarrassed.
"Give it to your grandson."
The old man pleased Zhai Le, glanced at his grandson, and sighed: "He can only eat two, but we people don't deserve it. If Master Bing wants to eat, the rest will be sent to Master Bing. There are also a lot of oranges in the house."
The peel is dry. Soak the orange peel in some water and drink it. It’s quite delicious.”
Zhai Le saw that the old man was very serious and hurriedly stopped him.
The old man looked at Zhai Le suspiciously, as if Monk Zhang Er was confused, and said: "Master Bing stopped us, not to eat oranges... but to eat dates? But there is no jujube tree at home, alas - why don't you come back again?"
Going forward, someone may plant jujube trees."
Zhai Le: "..."
Looking at this scene, Zhai Huan couldn't help but smile.
Zhai Le was thin-skinned. When he heard the laughter, his whole face turned red with embarrassment. He turned back angrily and said: "Brother, don't laugh!"
Zhai Huan said insincerely: "Yes, yes, if you don't smile, don't smile."
Zhai Le saw that he really didn't smile, so he turned around and asked the old man again.
"Does my father-in-law make wine at home?"
As a loyal fan of "Water Margin", it is such a rare experience for the novel to be translated into reality. The tax and bank records were compared with the birthday card. Duwei Yang had the same surname as the heroic green-faced beast Yang Zhi. The birthday card was robbed in Huangnigang. They
Now I have climbed a similar mountain trail.
At this moment, two grandsons, an old man and a young man, walked towards me.
It's not that Zhai Le suspected that the grandfather and grandson were gangsters in disguise. If they were really disguised, how could his cousin not see it?
He just wants to collect the same elements as his idols.
As long as the old man's family has a business of selling dates and wine, he would be satisfied with just one of them. Unfortunately, no one understands his little thoughts, and his brother actually laughs at him. The old man looked at the handsome and richly dressed man in front of him.
, but the young man, who was a bit mentally ill, said slowly: "We don't sell wine at home, but when my son was here, he loved wine and could drink three jars at a time."
Zhai Le pursed his lips in regret.
The old man asked again: "Does Master Bing have any other instructions?"
Zhai Le covered up his disappointed expression and warned gently: "It's gone, I'll go ahead. The mountain road is slippery, so pay attention to safety."
The old man thanked him and said, "Thank you Lord Bing for your concern."
After saying that, he led Lao Niu and continued on the road. He did not dare to get too close to the tax bank team, but he also did not dare to go too far from the mountain road, for fear that he would get lost when the night got dark. The tax bank team moved forward, and the grandfather and grandson moved backward.
They walked towards each other, and it took a full quarter of an hour before they separated.
Zhai Huan looked at the departing figures of his grandfather and grandson in the distance and frowned slightly.
After a while, he borrowed a scout from Captain Yang.
Captain Yang was not very satisfied: "What?"
Zhai Huan said: "Follow the grandfather and grandson and take a look."
Captain Yang snorted: "A white-haired old guy and a yellow-haired kid. Are you worried that they are outposts for criminals?"
If you really suspect it's an outpost, just capture and kill him.
Why send scouts to follow and investigate?
Zhai Huan did not say it clearly, but just said in a low voice: "Be careful with the ten thousand year ship. If these two grandsons are really innocent and just appeared by chance, there is no need to disturb them and ruin the good reputation of the captain. If there is really something wrong with them
, wouldn’t arresting people serve as a warning?”
Captain Yang couldn't defeat these scribes.
They both have pros and cons for a sentence.
Due to the rain, the tax team could not move fast even if they wanted to, so Captain Yang adopted Zhai Huan's suggestion out of caution.
Zhai Le asked his cousin privately: "That pair of grandfather and grandson..."
Zhai Huan knew what he was going to ask and said softly: "...I'm not sure if it's them. I just used the method of scribes to investigate..."
Zhai Le looked confused: "What happened?"
He knew the ways of his cousin the scribe.
【Eight-day hexagram】
A hexagram can come up every eight days.
The seemingly unnatural way of being a scribe also has many limitations. For example, Zhai Huan cannot specify the object of the hexagram, and can only display the hexagram image, which consumes a lot of literary energy. Due to various restrictions, Zhai Huan rarely uses it, and this time too
I only used it once out of caution.
He said: "Shui Lei Tun was very difficult at the beginning."
Zhai Le swept away the relief on his brows, and it was replaced by solemnity: "Tuen Gua, next...the earthquake is like thunder, the bump is like rain, thunder and rain are coming together, and there are many dangers. It's not a good sign..."
