Chapter 3 Windfall (4,000-word chapter)(1/2)

Walking on the road, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan were feeling a little relaxed and happy.

Although the boatman was put down before the sun rose, and he had just found a road that looked quite spacious and should have many cars and horses often walked, Zhu Jinxuan, who had been very irritated on the sea, was still very beautiful after finally seeing the trees he missed on the land.

Moreover, since they met, they have been worried that they would be noticed by Dongchang or Hu Xiaolin and others, so they could only be careful. Even in Changning Town, they never dared to show their true faces.

Now, because of the deserted people, the two of them feel extremely relaxed.

However, no matter how long the road is, they still have to finish it. The two of them took a random direction and walked for nearly two hours. When Zhu Jinxuan was sweating profusely in the cold winter and felt a little sore all over, smoke finally appeared in front of them.

It is indeed time to calculate the time, and it is time to eat.

In this era, only a very small number of families have the luxury of lifestyle of three meals a day, most, especially in the current situation where there is no busy farming, the day is short, and it is still winter, being able to eat two meals a day is already the limit of a family that can be considered a decent life.

Bai Shier also judged from the amount of smoke in front of him that there should be a small town ahead.

Sure enough, after bypassing a small hill blocking the two of them, a very ordinary town appeared in front of them.

It was already the first month of the year, and both scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial enterprises had returned to their original lives. The various shops in the town would not be basically closed like they did half a month ago. This undoubtedly made Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan much easier.

After I found an inn and opened a room, I was already hungry. Since I had eaten sea fish and dry food on the sea for a few days, I wanted to reward the two of Wudiao Temple. After throwing a few greetings into the guest room, I immediately left the inn and headed straight for the most "luxury" restaurant in the town.

"Please, please, two guests."

With a familiar smile and a familiar greeting, the moment he stepped into this restaurant, Zhu Jinxuan felt that the suffering he suffered for the past two hours was not in vain.

"Pick some of the best dishes in your store."

After sitting down with a table beside the window, Bai Shier, who had been a waiter in the hall, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and bounced his fingers upwards. After the waiter's eyes lit up and subconsciously caught it, he began to instruct.

"Give another pot of good green plum wine."

After saying that, Bai Shier bounced his fingers again, and a piece of broken silver rose into the air again.

"Thank you, you two, and the wine and food will come soon."

The waiter who took the money again naturally understood that this was a reward given by the fugitive. The originally programmed smile on his face instantly became extremely sincere and a little flattering.

"The two young men are very generous and very close. Is this the first time I have come to Qinxian Town?"

The waiter ran downstairs quickly with a satisfied smile, and a bearded beard on the side, with a leopard head and eyes wide open, looking dark, as if Li Kui was alive in the story book "Water Margin", and was very familiar with him, carrying a stool and holding a wine bowl, and sat at the table of the two, asking with a loud thunder.

“So what?”

Zhu Jinxuan gave in to the side with a little disgust and asked back with dissatisfaction.

The black-faced man saw Zhu Jinxuan's movements but did not show any dissatisfaction at all. He also moved back slightly with great cognition. It can be seen that compared to his very rough appearance, his heart is actually very detailed.

"hey-hey."

Putting down the wine bowl in his hand, the black-faced man laughed at the two of them in a mysterious way.

"If I'm not mistaken, you two are coming from the county town and are preparing to go to the capital city through Qinxian Town?"

"I didn't expect that the hero could even guess this?"

Bai Shier looked at Yang Liuzi in surprise and said in surprise.

"Hey, there's nothing."

The black-faced man couldn't help but feel a little proud on his face and said in a tight voice.

"However, you two have just arrived, so you may not know that Qinxian Town is not considered peaceful recently."

But his voice was so loud that even with his voice, his voice was still clearly reaching everyone upstairs.

"Yang Liuzi can eat this wine indiscriminately, but you can't say this."

Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan looked at each other, and before they could speak, a guest who seemed to be very familiar with the black-faced man who was also sitting on the second floor shouted loudly at him.

"Drinking your wine, you don't speak, and no one thinks you are a mute."

The black-faced man's already dark face instantly turned darker, and he turned his head and shouted fiercely at the other party.

"What the hell do you want to say?"

This time, the one who spoke became Zhu Jinxuan. After receiving Bai Shier's eyes, he immediately raised his tone and asked in a tone that was more disgusting and dissatisfied than before.

"If you are just pretending to be a god and want to eat and drink, you might as well just say that I can afford to pay for a jar of wine."

"I, Yang Liuzi, aren't the kind of scoundrel who cheats on food and drink?"

Zhu Jinxuan's words seemed to hit the pain point of the black-faced man. He immediately turned his head, slapped the table with great dissatisfaction, and suddenly stood up and started yelling.

"Hmph, I see you are a scoundrel who has always eaten and drunk."

Zhu Jinxuan was not scared at all. She slapped the table, snorted coldly, and laughed at him without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhu, don't get angry first."

Bai Shier immediately became a man who blushed and spoke kindly to persuade him.

"Let's listen to what this Zhuangshi Yang said first. In my opinion, this Zhuangshi Yang must have good intentions."

"Hmph, it's still this one, okay, I don't know what the young master calls him?"

After hearing Bai Shier's words, Yang Liuzi looked a little more kind. After clasping her fists at Bai Shier and trying to thank him, she realized that she didn't seem to know the other party's name yet, and quickly asked.

"In Xia Bai Changsheng, this is Zhu Jin and Brother Zhu. Recently, Brother Zhu has a little anxious temper because of his family's mundane affairs. I hope Mr. Yang can understand it."

Bai Shier quickly replied with a gift.

"Young Master Bai is so kind."

Everyone was holding the so-called flower sedan chair. Seeing Bai Shier talking to the man Yang, Yang Liuzi's black face couldn't help but turn red, and naturally he immediately threw the words Zhu Jinxuan said to him.

"Ahem, I wonder what the meaning of Qinxian Town that Mr. Yang just said is not very peaceful?"

Looking at Zhu Jinxuan opposite him rolling her eyes, Bai Shier couldn't help but cough twice, no longer politely with Yang Liuzi, and quickly turned to the topic.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the main business."

When Yang Liuzi heard this, he looked "sudden" and quickly patted his head, with a little bit of self-blame on his face.

Unfortunately, his acting skills are so eye-catching that Zhu Jinxuan almost didn't hold back, and even Bai Shier couldn't help but tremble the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, he held it in time, and Yang Liuzi was completely immersed in his "superb" performance, and had no time to care about the state of the two audience members in front of him.

"The two young masters first came to Qinxian Town, so I don't know that there have been bandits in our Qinxian Town recently."

Yang Liuzi lowered his voice again, but he still had no use. His voice still clearly spread throughout the second floor. The waiter who had just walked to the stairs with a small stove and walked to the entrance of the stairs clearly heard his words.

"Ahem."

The waiter quickly took two steps at a time, ran to the table between Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, coughed twice, reminding Yang Liuzi.

"Brother Six, if you dare to say nonsense again, Liu Bantu will catch you and hit the board."

"Hmph, why should he hit me? Are the words I said fake? Before, all three groups of merchants were stolen and ran back to the town with almost naked ass. You all saw it with your own eyes. It's fine if Liu San is a yamen runner who is unable to suppress bandits, why should he force everyone to hide this matter together?"

However, facing the waiter's reminder and even threat, Yang Liuzi, a black-faced man, had no look of fear or even timid on his face, and turned around and muttered at the waiter with dissatisfaction.

However, his voice, which was even lighter than just now, seemed to betray his true heart.

"Please be relieved, two guests, it's still very safe in Qinxian Town."

The waiter seemed unable to find anything to refute from Yang Liuzi's words, so he could only smile and comfort Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan.

"Then what this Jiangshi Yang just said is true. There are really bandits scooping the path ahead?"

"Well, if the merchants didn't lie some time ago, then..."

The waiter wants to be more tactful.

"I'm almost snatching all my body, and only the person left to barely come back and almost freeze to death. If they are still lying like this, then what you are saying is a huge lie now."

However, before the waiter finished speaking, Yang Liuzi sneered and interrupted the waiter with his lips.

"With bandits cutting paths, why didn't the government send troops to clear them?"

Zhu Jinxuan finally couldn't help it. As the emperor's young girl, she was still concerned about the court.

"Hmph, then Liu San can be arrogant in the town. Qi Fu bullies these kind people and merchants in the town, and wants him to lead a team to clear out the bandits unless the sun strikes the west."

Yang Liuzi snorted coldly again and said softly, his voice full of ridicule for Liu Sanyou, the leader of the yamen runner.

"Yeah, cough, yeah."

The waiter cleared his throat.

"Liu Bantu said yesterday that he had reported this matter to the magistrate. The magistrate has already begun to prepare a clearance team. After the people are summoned, he will be sent to eliminate the bandits."

"Ha, blow the air."

Yang Liuzi sneered like a cynical and angry young man, and was full of disdain for what the waiter said.

However, this time, the waiter was very tactful and did not "replenish" anymore. Obviously, the words he said just now seemed to be just to deal with Liu Sanyou, who did not say a word at this time, and he was accused of Yang Liuzi's words, which truly represented his inner thoughts.

"So that's it. If it weren't for the kind reminder of Mr. Yang, then Brother Zhu and I would be really in danger. Brother Zhu and I are so grateful."

After a while, Bai Shier made a sound and broke the silence, stood up and clasped his fists at Yang Liuzi with gratitude.

"snort."

Zhu Jinxuan snorted lightly, but she still stood up reluctantly and hugged Yang Liuzi, but she was a little perfunctory no matter how she looked.
