After crossing the Qihe River and passing through Yucheng, we arrived at Pingyuan County.
Along the way, passengers went up and down, changing frequently. Xia Xun found that there were nine real long-distance passengers: he and Ximen Qing, the pair of burly men, and the two young women. Over the past few days, everyone had a mutual understanding of each other.
After getting to know each other more or less, Xia Xun already understood that the two big men were tourists who often traveled outside the customs. The older one was named Gu Zhou, and the younger one was named He Keshuo.
Although the century-old Changbai Mountain old ginseng cannot be sold locally, Baidu ※ Jin Yi Ye Xing ※ First Edition can just dig out one and bring it back to the pass, it will be a rare thing worth hundreds of times, so these two ginseng customers looked vulgar
, but the money was extremely generous. Along the way, the two of them stayed in first-class guest rooms and ate the best meals.
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing's name is written on the road map as partners of Xuzhou Wangji Leather Goods Store. Naturally, their daily life should not be ostentatious, but their food and accommodation are not too bad. Sometimes the food is not good, and the two of them will just find an excuse.
Don't eat, then run out to find a place to have a tooth ceremony.
As for the two little sisters, their names are unknown. They are only referred to as sisters. Only car dealers have such things as names and surnames. Only the city and patrol checkpoints along the way have the right to inspect them. They don't say it themselves.
Naturally, it would be inconvenient for others to rashly inquire about a girl’s surname and maiden name.
It seems that they are very strapped for money. They only stay in the cheapest guest rooms along the way, sometimes in the cheapest Datong shop for female customers. Their food is even simpler, a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles is their breakfast, and a sesame seed cake and a plate of pickles.
It was just a lunch, and as for dinner, it was a plate of pickles and sesame cakes. After seeing her so much, Xia Xun and Ximen Qing talked about her privately, and they both called her the sesame cake girl.
Ximen Qing is a master who can't move when he sees a beautiful woman. He doesn't know how many times he has chatted with her, but that sister is like a mimosa. If you look at her one more time, she will blush and bow her head shyly. You deliberately
When you strike up a conversation and say a word to her, she blushes and lowers her head; when you sit in the same car and stretch your legs and accidentally touches her skirt, she still blushes and lowers her head in shame."
Ximen Qing has never seen a girl who loves blushing so much, who is so shy and who is unwilling to talk. However, he has always been more and more courageous in front of beautiful women. He is extremely thick-skinned. It doesn't matter if he tries it a few times, or if he tries it dozens of times.
I found him very boring, and I stopped talking to him after that.
The cart often took this road in Beiping, so it was very precise about the time to stay in Jingping along the way. In the evening, it happened to enter Pingyuan County. The cart walked around the small town for a while, and stayed at a small inn.
Come down. This place is relatively remote. The area around the inn is large and it is easy to park cars and horses. There are several large cars parked at the door. There are cars returning from Jinan Four Seasons Car Company, as well as traveling merchants from other places.
Pingyuan is a small county. Baidu ※ Jin Yi Night Walk ※ First published except that Liu Bei served as county magistrate here during the Three Kingdoms period when he was down and out. There is no history to write home about. The inn they stayed in was not big, Xia Xun had already noticed it
, the inns chosen by the car dealers are all very familiar to them. Of course, this has advantages. A well-informed inn can ensure the safety of guests to the greatest extent, but it is not so particular about accommodation, food, and hygiene.
, they are guests who have to stay here anyway.
The food in that restaurant was neither salty nor bland, and the taste was really not that good. After a few bites, the two of them stopped using their chopsticks, glanced at each other, and went out to find a restaurant. When they walked to the door, they saw
When Sister Shaobing and Sister Shaobing were sitting at a table, they asked the waiter for two bowls of boiled water and were munching on a few pieces of Shaobing.
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing left the inn and wandered aimlessly on the street for a while. When they saw a flavored donkey meat restaurant, they went in and ordered a few local donkey meat snacks and a few donkey meat fire spoons.
Have some snacks and then prepare to return to the inn.
The sky was getting darker at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Especially in the late autumn and near winter, when the cold wind blows, it also feels cold. It is a small county, and it is rare to see many pedestrians on the street. There are only some children who are used to wild things.
Go home, climb the wall one by one, hide and seek, and have fun with yourself.
In the middle of the walk, a sister-in-law suddenly came out of the house with a shout. She stood at the door, put her hands on her hips, and used her full energy in her Dantian, and shouted: "Er Gouzi! You damn kid, you won't wake up even after the sun goes down."
Home, your skin is tight again, aren’t you?”
Xia Xun was walking when he was startled by her roar. He couldn't help laughing and said, "My Shandong sister-in-law is really tough."
Ximen Qing unexpectedly thought of his wife, Xiaodong, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, alas! It's better for a woman to have a gentler temperament. Look at that sesame cake girl, if my Xiaodong can have
He is half gentle and shy, even if I burned high incense in my previous life...", "Huh?"
When Ximen Qing just said this, he suddenly pulled Xia Xun and quickly moved towards the wall. Xia Xun was also a very alert person. Although he didn't know the reason yet, he immediately hid himself by the wall and saw him looking out.
He also looked at it.
About ten steps into the alley, there is a small pawn shop. Two wind lanterns are hung at the door. Korean paper is pasted and colored with red tung oil. The word "福" is written on it. Go down the steps towards the street.
, stood a delicate and elegant girl, but in front of her was a burly man with one arm on the wall, blocking her way.
Xia Xun looked over the shoulder of the big man. Isn't this girl the sesame seed girl? Although the big man standing opposite her could only see his back and half of his face, Xia Xun recognized her at a glance.
They were traveling on an ancient boat in Guandong for several days, and Xia Xun would never admit his mistake.
Just listen to Gu Zhou chuckle and say: "Little lady, don't be afraid, Gu is not a bad person. As the saying goes, a hundred years of cultivation can take the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can sleep together. You and I are in the same car all the way, walking together and stopping together. After all, we have cultivated for hundreds of years in the previous life.
It's fate, right? I just want to help you."
The sesame cake girl blushed, twirled her clothes, and said timidly: "Uncle Gu wants to help the slave family?"
Gu Qi looked up and down at this girl, who was as slender as the moon and as charming as an orchid, and sighed: "Look at you, you are just as beautiful as a spring flower, but you have suffered so much. In fact, I have suffered so much along the way.
I noticed, my wife is short of money. Look, it’s getting colder and colder today. Maybe the first snow will fall in the next few days. But at this time, you even used your clothes as a pawn, dressed like this
"It's so fragile. If you get sick on the road, it will cause the heavens to respond and the earth to be ineffective. I am a kind-hearted person, and I couldn't bear it for a moment, so I chased him out."
The sesame cake girl blinked and said in confusion: "Those clothes are all made by the servants themselves. The materials and styles are very ordinary. Do you want to buy them, uncle? But I have already treated them as slaves."
Gu Zhou said: "Hey, I'm a grown man. Why did I buy that thing for the first time in Baidu※Jin Yi Ye Xing※? It's just that when I see the little lady in such a miserable state, and with such a look that is so painful, I have a soft heart.
I can’t stand it, and I want to help you.”
"oh!"
The sesame cake girl smiled shyly and said, "Although the journey is difficult, it can be managed. The slave family appreciates Uncle Gu's kindness. If we meet by chance, the slave family cannot accept uncle's property."
Gu Zhou laughed heartily: "My lady doesn't want to be rewarded for nothing. Isn't that simple? As long as you reciprocate your kindness and give me some sweet things, wouldn't it be enough?"
The face of the sesame cake girl changed slightly, she took half a step back slightly, and said nervously: "Uncle... what does this mean?"
Gu Zhou smiled and said: "My dear lady, you have also seen that Gu has to eat on four plates and eight large bowls along the way. His accommodation must be a first-class hotel in a Tianzhihao. The money is nothing to me. My dear lady,
If you are willing to accompany Mr. Gu on the road, warm your bed, and travel with you in the same room, hey, all your food and expenses will be paid for by Mr. Gu. When you break up, Mr. Gu will also give you an additional one hundred guan of banknotes.
Guan! I can buy nine of these juicy little girls. How about it? In that case, you don’t have to eat pickles, sesame cakes, and pickles. When there are too many guests and few rooms, you have to be rushed to stay.
How about the woodshed?"
The girl was shocked and frightened. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "Uncle Gu, people say you are a good person. Why do you say such ridiculous and rude words? Don't listen. Please let me pass."
Seeing that she was timid and lustful, Gu Zhou immediately sneered and said: "***, I'm at the foot of Changbai Mountain. A ginseng beard is enough to play with a yellow-flowered girl. I dare to kill someone just for a ten-year-old ginseng. It's hard to be kind today."
Dafa, I want to talk to you with nice words, but you don’t want to toast or eat as a penalty.”
Baidu ※ Jin Yi Night Walk ※ The first cake-making girl saw his ferocious appearance, and she couldn't help but turn pale with horror. She backed away and said in a trembling voice: "You... what do you want?"
Gu Zhou said with a sinister smile: "To tell you the truth, Master Gu is one of the best ginseng tourists in Changbai Mountain. Even if he commits a crime here, Master Gu can just hide outside the customs and live a calm life for a year or two before finding another job."
Yin is still walking around the Ming Dynasty with great arrogance. I have never been able to get what I like. Today, I see that your appearance is really annoying, and your family is really poor. I just want to use money to do good things because of my kindness.
, since you don’t want to, can’t you use force?”
The girl didn't expect that he would dare to fall out on the spot after being rejected. Even if he was not a criminal, how could he be so unscrupulous? She didn't know that this ancient boat was a person who had been walking outside the customs all year round. How could the people there know the rules of the king?
, whoever has the bigger fist is the master. In the Changbai Mountains, the weak fight against the strong, the gangsters eat the gangsters, fight for the top of the mountain, and do a lot of life-threatening business. It is a real life on the run.
The girl took a few steps back in panic, fearful to the point of tears. When Ximen Qing saw it, he immediately started to roll up his arms and sleeves. Xia Xun asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Ximen Qing glared and said: "Save people, this is a good opportunity for a hero to save a beauty, how could I let it go?"
Xia Xun said: "To be able to set up shop in Changbai Mountain and serve as the head of ginseng customers, his martial arts must be pretty good. Are you sure you are his opponent?"
Ximen Qing said: "How can I know if I haven't competed before?"
At this time, Gu Zhou was approaching step by step. He lifted the skirt of his robe, revealing a short knife at his waist. He said with a ferocious smile: "Want to call someone? Try it.
