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 animal 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, not the thief he was worried about at all. Captain Yang's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but the anger in his heart had not yet been cleared away.
"If you two don't go home at this hour, why are you running around in the mountains?"
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 embarrassment. 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 through that way, don't delay me from doing business."
Hearing this, the old man felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He nodded and bowed his head and thanked Captain Yang repeatedly, not forgetting to say complimentary and auspicious words.
Perhaps feeling that what he said was not enough, he tugged on his grandson's torn trouser legs, indicating that his grandson was also grateful for Captain Yang's greatness.
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 the old man to stop.
The old man's ears didn't seem to be very good. He took a moment to come to his senses and raised his hands to him: "Hello, Mr. 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."
If the peel is dry, soak the orange peel in some water and drink it, it’s quite tasty.”
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 date tree at home, alas - why don't you come back?
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. Hearing the laughter, his whole face turned red with embarrassment, and he said angrily and angrily: "Brother, don't laugh!"
Zhai Huan was very insincere: "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 selling wine, he only needs one of them, and he is satisfied. But no one understands his little thoughts, and his brother still laughs at him. The old man looks at the young man who is handsome and well-dressed, but has a bit of a brain disorder.
, said slowly: "We don't sell wine at home, but my son loved wine when he was alive 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 disappointment 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 to have 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 Wannian ship. If these two grandsons are really innocent and just appeared by chance, there is no need to disturb them, so as not to ruin the good reputation of the captain. If they have
The question is, 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 collection 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, so 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 occur every eight days.
The seemingly very unnatural way of being a scribe also has many limitations. For example, he cannot specify the object of the hexagram, and only displays the hexagram images, which consumes a lot of literary energy. Due to various restrictions, he usually does not use it very much, and this time he did it out of caution.
Used it once.
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, Xiaxia...the earthquake is like thunder, the bump is like rain, thunderstorms are coming together, and there are many dangers. It's not a good sign..."

|???ω??)???
1. I'm going to buy some oranges, you just stand here and don't move around - the back view (what the father said to his son)
I will only eat two and give the rest to you - Luo Tuo Xiangzi (Grandpa said to his grandson)
You still need to eat two, soak the orange peel in some water and drink it - four generations live under one roof (what the great-grandfather said to his great-grandson)
Tang Mei took advantage of Zhai Le, haha.
2. I haven’t studied the hexagrams of the I Ching, so I just scanned them briefly, and don’t take them seriously.
