Jiaohua

Chapter 187

The road ahead was finally cleared up a little bit. Along the road, there was a very strong smell. Several jars of pickles that had been marinated for a long time were just dumped on the road.

Pedestrians covered their mouths and noses, cursing, and a few plainly dressed old men wiped their tears while tidying up.

When Xia Zhaoyi passed by, he avoided the broken tiles, gradually stopped, and looked at the old people.

They knelt on the ground, holding rags in their hands, and prepared two large wooden basins, pushing pickles and acid water into the wooden basins.

Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while, then turned and went to the other side.

The nearby vegetable vendors all hid away, and a few country women scolded the old people over there, with relatively rough words.

Xia Zhaoyi sat down next to a middle-aged woman selling vegetables, and looked at the old people who were tidying up.

The middle-aged woman waved a vegetable leaf under her nose, and kept cursing how bad it was. Seeing the boy sitting down like this, the middle-aged woman frowned: "What are you doing sitting here?"

With his legs bent and his cheek resting on one hand, the little boy looked at the old man over there and said, "Look at the fun."

"What's so exciting about it? You don't think it stinks?"

"Not too much." The little boy shook his head, keeping his eyes on that side.

The middle-aged woman looked at her strangely, she could see through it clearly, don't be a fool.

After cleaning up for a long time, the old people finally finished cleaning up. During the period, the pickles in the wooden basin were poured into the ditch in the distance twice, and after wiping, they were washed twice with clean water. The ground was clean, but there was always an aftertaste in the air. .

After the old people packed up, they left.

The middle-aged woman turned her head and found that the boy was still here, and said, "They are all gone, are you still watching the fun?"

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "I won't read it."

"See what is coming?"

Xia Zhaoyi looked at her: "I didn't come to see Mingtang."

"Then what are you watching? Aren't you watching the fun?"

"I'm here to see the knights, and I want to see if anyone is willing to come out to help them." Xia Zhaoyi looked back at the wet ground over there, "It's a pity, there are so few knights now."

"Aren't you too busy? This thing belongs to them, and they knocked it down by themselves. There's nothing wrong with them cleaning it up by themselves." The middle-aged woman curled her lips, but seeing her so small, she felt that it was inevitable. I don't know what it feels like to be sad.

"Not idle, I'm in a hurry," said Xia Zhaoyi, stood up, patted the dust, looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "They are already cleaning up, but others are still cursing, this is not right."

The middle-aged woman looked at her with an exaggerated and contemptuous look.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, turned and left.

"There is something wrong with your brain." The middle-aged woman said from behind, and then turned her head to tell the vegetable vendors next to her about this abnormal child.

After Xia Zhaoyi left, he quickened his pace.

A few old people didn't walk very far. They were older and had just cleaned up the ground. They were somewhat exhausted and sat on the side of the road to rest.

There was an old man who was crying softly, describing himself as hopeless, and there was no one to comfort him, everyone was very tired.

Xia Zhaoyi paused slightly, took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve, and walked forward.

"Old man." Xia Zhaoyi said.

The old people paused and looked up.

Xia Zhaoyi spread his hands: "A big brother, asked me to give you these pieces of silver."

The more energetic old man in brown clothes was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at her: "Which big brother?"

"He left, and he said that he would buy those pickles." Xia Zhaoyi handed over the money, "You guys take it, I don't know that big brother, and I can't find anyone when I go back, so you won't accept the money Now, I don't know how to deal with it."

The old people looked at each other, a little stunned.

The brown-clothed old man showed some embarrassment, but in the end he stretched out his hand and took the pieces of silver away from her.

"Thank you very much," said the brown-clothed old man, "that young man, what does he look like?"

"He said his name is Xia Kongxue."

"Xiakong school?" the old man in brown repeated.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Not wanting to stay longer, she said with a smile: "Old man, I still have some things to do, I have to go first, you guys rest."

"What's your name?" the old man in brown asked hurriedly.

The little boy just smiled, turned and left.

"Xia Kongxue." Several old people read behind her.

"Why is this name so strange?" an old man said.

Xia Zhaoyi left with his back to them, the smile on his lips subsided slightly, and his eyes became much more painful.

The boy in the memory was lying on the desk, screaming to the girl beside him that there is no limit to learning, turning back without shore, drowning in it, and there is nowhere to find the body.

The girl on the left and right each held an ink pen and wrote two lines at the same time. She gave him a sideways glance and said that he was ignorant and incompetent.

The young man sighed again and scratched his head: "What is my name Xia Zhaoxue? I should be called Xia Kongxue. I'm all wasting my time. No, I changed the word Xia too. It's best to change it to blind. Learn from blind!"

The girl let out a "poof" laugh: "I'll report to my father when I turn around!"

Of course it is impossible to sue, she has never been in the temperament of suing, so she will only tease the second brother.

Xia Zhaoyi stopped in her tracks, frowning slightly. The more memories flooded in, the more she felt unbearable.

But soon, she took a deep breath, tried to adjust all her emotions, and continued to walk forward.

It was not difficult for Xia Zhaoyi to find the person, not to mention that the clues given by the other party were very important. Although there were not many, there were only three, but after a little digging, she found it in a short time.

When she arrived in Fenghe County, she inquired all the way, set up some words, spent some money, sorted out all the clues that needed to be sorted out, and sorted out the causes and consequences that needed to be sorted out. Once it's on paper, it's almost done.

The matter of identifying relatives is not in her hands, the clues are sent to the Qingque Pavilion, and after the other party confirms, she takes the rest of the money and the antidote, and forgets about it.

Of course, as long as she was happy with the so-called antidote, she could do it herself, but she wanted to be lazy.

She stayed in this inn at night, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. She went downstairs and lay on her stomach in the lobby. The things she ordered were piled up on the table without touching them, and she just listened to the conversations of a few drinkers. Sound, looking at the bright moon outside the window.

They were talking about everything, and they even got a little over the top with the help of alcohol.

Xia Zhaoyi listened, gradually pricked up his ears, and his eyes became brighter looking out of the window.

"...Really? When are you leaving?"

"It's the first day of next month."

"How old is Li Xun, sixteen or seventeen? Is he able to lead? This is a hundred thousand troops!"

"Of course I hope he can move it. If he can't move it, let's run. Last time they hit Pingyang Road, how many people were killed along the way? Fenlao County was almost wiped out! The city is full of corpses Woolen cloth!"
