Copper Coins - Chapter 40
On the one hand is a black dragon who is trying to stick to the mountain road motionlessly, on the other hand is a scarface man who petrified in the place and feels like a sleepwalker, and on the other is a young monk staring down at the mountain while holding the tip of someone’s tail . This happens to constitute three points of delicate balance, like a frozen and still picture.
For a while, no one moved.
The flicking of fingers was lengthened indefinitely. After about a hundred years, the Scarface Man first took action–
His sluggish eyes rolled, his head looked up in a sullen expression, staring at the sloping mountain wall for a long time, and there was no living thing above his head except the vast snow and gloomy sky. He remembered what he had just seen, from thick to thin, with scales, and there seemed to be something else …
I can’t remember, anyway, the stuff that didn’t know what was shaking back and forth in front of the tip of his nose, almost even hit his face.
But how can such a big thing disappear in an instant?
“Head, why don’t you stop? The horse is in trouble again?” The curtain behind the carriage was lifted, and someone asked with a probe.
The Scarface Man returned to his mind. He shook his head sharply and shook out the weird thing from the brain. He said secretly: It must have been a long time, drowsy, and a little confused.
Thinking about this, he picked up the jug and sipped it again. This wine doesn’t seem to be brewed in the Jiangnan area, but rather it comes from Saibei. It is strong and thick. After a bite, it only burns the heart. He hit a thriller, warmed his hands and feet a lot, and regained his energy.
“呿 ——” Scarface raised his head and glanced at it, then whipped his whip, driving the horse forward.
After Dada’s horseshoes circled this level of mountain road and walked to the next level, and gradually drifted away, the black dragon lying on the mountain road rolled his eyes and exhaled.
True dragon breath is not that ordinary people open their mouths and close their mouths a little bit lively, casually can cause strong winds in the mountains. In order to cover up the movements and let the Scarface Man dispel doubts earlier, Xue Xian just held his breath just now, he wasn’t panting a bit, and almost didn’t suffocate.
The crisis was lifted, and the ancestor came back alive again, as if the one just past the mountain road was not him at all.
I saw him lifted up, looked down at the Xuan Mercy standing at his tail, and yelled, “Look, I have to go out and personally to clean up the situation for you. If it wasn’t for me to respond in time, that scarred face should be Face to face with his body. “
What a big face!
“…” Xuan Meng had intended to lower the tip of his tail for a while, and he stopped his hands again when he heard the words, then straightened his waist again.
He didn’t speak, so he kept the little tip of the tail, and looked at Xue Xian indifferently. There was a kind of “You say it again, I listen” meaning.
When Xue Xian saw the sharp point, he couldn’t wait to chop his tail: this obstructive thing was squeezed by the bald donkey in his hands to play and recovered, but he still could not escape the bald donkey’s claw , What is it for? Ok?
He stared down at Xuan Mian, and Xuan Mian looked at him with the tip of his tail, not humble, but obviously waiting for him to pick up the unwanted face back.
His tail was pinched by Xuan Mian. It was both a vital part of the body and evidence of humiliation by others. He couldn’t allow him to keep cheeky.
So after a moment of confrontation, Xue Xian reluctantly “snapped” and compromised: “Good, good, you are great!”
Xuan Mian asked calmly, “Who cleans up the situation?”
“…” Xue Xian rolled his eyes and half-deadly prolonged the tone. “You—you clean up, all right? Almost, let go!”
Hearing the words, Xuan Merci lightly bent over and let go, and laid the tip of this disobedient tail on the ground.
Xue Xian only felt that he had been with this bald donkey for a long time, and he would probably die.
The two delayed some time because of this unnecessary confrontation. When Xue Xian returned to the human form and put on his clothes by covering up the mountain wall, and then returned to the carriage with Xuanyi, the entire team just happened to finish the downhill road. The county in front is getting closer.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and it was estimated that it was evening.
“It’s going to be night, how long will it take to get into the city?” Stone Zhang Chao looked out of the curtain, this road was shocked and there was no substantial loss, but he really did not want to be on this “ghost carriage” any more. Stayed, entered the city earlier, parted ways earlier.
“Come on.” Jiang Shining pointed to the snow outside the car. “Since this road is on the way, you can see that the rut marks are a few extra layers, obviously not far from the gate.”
The stone stared openly at the package containing the dry food, swallowed saliva, covered his groaning stomach, and asked bitterly, “Can we rest in the city? Get something to eat, and get hungry. I was panicked. “
As soon as he said this, Lu Yanqi’s stomach screamed.
“Are you hungry too?” Jiang Shining asked.
Lu Yanqi still has a youthful mind. He probably felt that his stomach was so shameless, and he retorted with his eyes down: “No, not me.” But when he said this, his tone was cold and shy, but his ears were already sharp. Red.
Xue Xian was active for a long time sitting on his shoulders and bones, and said lazily: “This snow doesn’t stop around. I looked at the day before, maybe it would be bigger at night. Anyway, the horses and horses can’t walk fast, a little later. Not too far apart. “
The hardest man to speak all spoke, and that was consent.
As for the other …
Jiang Shining looked at Xuan Mercy and found that he did not intend to speak, which was no different from acquiescence.
After about half an hour, the team’s speed was getting slower and slower, and a little murmur of vocals came over.
“Here!” Stone Zhang rubbed his hands in excitement, like a gray-bellied gray fly.
The county town they passed was called Huazhi County. Because it is close to the river and is closest to Guanyindu, it is a lively county town although it is located on the edge of Anqing House. It’s just that the county town is extraordinarily small, and it takes at most an hour to make a circle around the city from east to west, north and south. But even in such a small city, there are some rules in and out of the gate.
Xue Xian had made a kick here before. If you remember correctly, this Huazhi County has always been very strict in checking the people who entered the city. Dismounting the car and driving the door is the most basic. Heaven, but everything outside the country must be registered in the register when entering and leaving the gate.
Sure enough, the team stopped at the gate with a few brief inquiries. A guard is holding a roster and is counting the number of people in a carriage.
When he opened the door of Xuexian’s carriage and the probe came in to count and register, everyone’s faces instantly became a little weird—
I saw a large layer of thick black juice spread on the cheek of this guard half, and a piece on the back of the hand, exuding a strange smell that could not be said.
Facing this rather unpleasant medicinal juice, the guard himself felt uncomfortable. He checked in a hurry, only glanced at Xuan sympathy, closed the door and waved them into the city.
“Why did he stare at the master just now?” Jiang Shining puzzled.
“Who knows, maybe he doesn’t look like a good guy.” Xue Xian seemed to have a great interest in the scene outside the car, and looked outside the curtain, answering casually without looking back.
Everyone: “…” The most reliable thing in this car is Xuan Mercy, the ancestor said with a face.
Scarface men, after all, were kind, and they always sent Xue Xian to the door of an inn before they parted ways with them.
The team seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn’t want to delay for a while. Naturally, he didn’t intend to stay in this county.
“If you want to rent a carriage, just tell the owner of the inn. Huazhi County is small, a house beam fell, and five people were killed. Three people could be related to each other. The boss has a way to help you find a carriage Just give him some hard money. “Scarface asked like this before leaving.
Xue Xian, naturally, they would not sit in their carriage for nothing.
It ’s just that everyone in this play team has a strange temper and do n’t give money, except that at the end of the winter months, they do n’t even receive money to start the opera, so why charge a car and horse fee? The only Jiang Shining who could speak a little bit of people pushed them for a long time, and failed to give out the money, which was really helpless.
In the end, Lu Yanqi Youyou opened his mouth: “Don’t pull it, you can always return it in the future.”
When he said this, he touched his wooden branches with his fingers, and his expression was quite unpredictable.
“What do you … figure out?”
Lu Yanqi didn’t speak, only said: “In short, I won’t owe it.”
What Xue Xiaowan said would not be too suspicious of Xue Xian, let alone Jiang Shining. The theater crew greeted them, and then they rushed out of the city and quickly disappeared into the night.
Until a few of them settled down on the first floor of the inn, intending to order wine and warm their bodies, Xue Xian’s attention remained on the street outside.
“What are you looking at all the way?” Jiang Shining wondered.
“I’ve seen a lot. I’ve been here before. This county town is not as lively as before, and there are a lot fewer people, and … notices are posted by the door of every house, do you see it?” Xue Xiandao said.
“What notice? I’ll take a look.” Stone Zhang was restless. When he heard this, he hurried out of the inn door. After a while, God came in with a mysterious cover on his placket. They are seated in a more inclined position, blocked by a red lacquered cylinder, and their actions cannot be clearly seen at other tables.
“I don’t know if this notice can be uncovered, but we just picked up a piece that happened to fall off the wall.” Zhang Zhang took it out of his arms and flattened it on the table. “Look–“
Previously, there was nothing bright, and he didn’t see what was painted on the notice. Now he spread it out, and everyone at the table was stunned, then looked at Xuan Merci together.
“Master, this …” Stone stuttered. “Why did you go to the government notice? You, what have you done?”
Hyun Mercy frowned, watching the portrait on the notice carefully.
“Previously in Ningyang, did Master Liu mistake the master as a person on the sea-catch instrument?” Jiang Shining wondered, “Did he give it again?”
Xue Xian raised his hand and touched the notice. He said, “I have taken a special look at the notice of Ning Yang. The people in the painting are similar to this bald donkey except that they are all monks and have a mole on the neck side. Moreover, the man in the painting is much older than this bald donkey. “
But now this …
“It’s said that these batches of sea-catching papers are almost full-term, aren’t they?” Xue Xian twisted the notice and shuddered. “This feels like … it’s just been posted for a few days.”
The portrait on this notice is slightly changed from the one in Ningyang County, making people younger, and the facial features have also been adjusted. Looking at it … it is similar to Xuan Mian.
