Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 298 The Man Behind
"Second Master Duan really doesn't have a long memory." Wen Shu stepped forward and snatched the bowl from his hand, "Duan Er Master has forgotten the oath he made, and still firmly believes that there will be no thunder in the blue sky."

"Miss misunderstood, misunderstood." Duan Er hastened to explain: "I remember the oath really, today I just came to beg for a bowl of rice, there is absolutely no other meaning."

"You think I'll believe it." Wen Shu glanced at the bowl in his hand, then looked him up and down, "Second Master's outfit doesn't look like he can't afford to eat. I guess."

She tilted her head and pretended to think: "Could it be that she wants to poison me, and then blame me, saying that there is something wrong with my food and eat people to death!"

"No, no, little lady, where is she going, she is really just begging for a bowl of rice." Duan Er was almost sweating from anxiety.Seeing that Wen Shu still didn't believe it, he said aggrievedly: "It's not that the little lady doesn't want me to appear in the tea shop, and I have to ask someone to force me."

"Hmph, the food here is not delicious, it can be found anywhere, as for asking someone to pick it up?"

"Little lady, you are joking, the food in your tea shop must be excellent." Duan Er flattered.

"Huh?" Wen Shu looked at him and narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"It wasn't just the little lady who said it herself. Is this meal good for the child?"

"I told you to believe it."

"Believe, believe." Duan Er wiped off his sweat, and said cruelly: "To tell you the truth, my lady, I have an old man named Yuan Bao, who is five years old this year, but since he had a serious illness when he was one year old, he has become a little Stupid."

"I have been looking for a famous doctor for so many years but have not been cured. I heard that there is a thirsty water in a tea shop by chance. Eating it can make people smarter, so I bought a few of them as a living horse doctor."

Speaking of this, his expression became obviously excited, "But the wisdom and thirsty water is really miraculous. I only drank four cups, and I have already improved a lot. My little lady is a master."

It's a pity that he only bought four cups of thirsty water and sold them out. If he eats a few more cups, maybe his family's ingots can be restored to the original state. Second Master Duan is so anxious that he can only come to the teahouse every day to keep watch. Looking forward to the day when it will be on sale again.

Unexpectedly, I didn't wait for thirsty water today, but I waited for free food.

Wen Shu and Mrs. Zhao were standing outside the door. He didn't dare to approach the tea shop, so he could only listen from a distance. If he couldn't hear clearly, he stopped passersby to ask.Knowing that Wen Shu let it go and said that eating the rice is good for the children, and if there are children in the family, try to leave them for the children to eat, it makes me feel itchy.

Others may think it's just a gimmick, but Duan Er firmly believes it. After all, the thirst for wisdom sounded more absurd than this.

But the fact is.

Unlike other passers-by, he thinks to buy it later. In his opinion, the sooner he gets it in his hands, the better. If it is too late, it may be gone. The wisdom and thirsty water are a good lesson for the past, so he hurriedly sent him to follow him. people go to cook.

That man was in the same village as him, and he was a well-known honest man in the village. He approached him at the beginning because he had a tight mouth and no bad intentions. Poison it.

However, the disadvantages of honest people have also emerged, that is, they are not flexible enough in situations, and they don't like to inquire about things at ordinary times. If they don't live in the same village, they have to know how old Yuan Bao is.

Now it's all right, there are two types of rice to come, and only half of it is not enough, what if the effect is not achieved.

Because he wanted Wen Shu, Duan Er lowered his posture very low, and repeatedly assured that he had no other thoughts, and only asked Wen Shu to give up a bowl of rice for him to take back for his children.

Wen Shu would not be persuaded so easily. The relationship between them cannot be reconciled with just a few nice words.

"I'll accept your compliment, but this meal" she smiled, turned around and walked back with the bowl in hand.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Duan Er had no choice but to think about it and said to her: "Young lady got into trouble, you know that."

The figure in front paused, Duan Er was overjoyed and continued: "As long as the little lady gives me a bowl of rice, I will tell you what the trouble is."

"It's no use bluffing me." Wen Shu was unmoved and continued on.

"What I said is true. Don't you feel that the teahouse has been stared at recently?"

Wen Shu's footsteps stopped, she did feel it, sometimes when she was working, she felt as if someone was watching her, but when she followed the induction, she didn't find anything.

The tea shop was originally a place for pedestrians to enter and exit, and it was also close to the official road. It was normal for pedestrians to look here, but she still had a strange feeling in her heart, so today she realized that there was someone hiding in the woods, so she immediately looked for it.

Listening to what Duan Er said now, I finally understand the root cause, and at the same time, I feel a sense of security in my heart.

The enemy is in the dark, but she is in the light, so how to guard against it
She's fine, but what about Mrs. Zhao and Goudan? The widowed mother and child, if they are really in danger, how can they avoid it.

But the person behind her is not a good person, she can't easily show her timidity and let him hold her.

After thinking for a while, Wen Shu turned back and said: "For the sake of your news, I can give you the meal, but the friendship between us is really not worth it for me to give away for free. How about it, ten guan, you get ten guan For the money, I'll sell you this bowl of rice."

"Also, you can't take the food home to eat. If you want to eat, bring your son and eat at the tea shop, and leave after eating."

"What's the reason?" Duan Er didn't understand.

"I'm afraid you will poison me." Wen Shu said lightly.

Who knows whether what he said is true or not, if it is false, the meal was given to him, and he poisoned him later, ate the person to death, and blamed her on her head, saying that there was something wrong with her meal, she went to No reason to go.

As for the child who finished eating, go back and poison her again. Wen Shu said that if he could really do this and use his parents and children to set her up, then she would really have nothing to say.

After all, such a thing can be prevented for a while, but not for a lifetime, and if it can be prevented from him, it cannot be prevented from others.

She made this request only to prevent him from giving food to others.Another one is, seeing his son with his own eyes, recognizing his face, maybe he can threaten him in turn.

"It's okay to bring tea to eat, it's just the money." Duan Er hesitated, "Can it be less?"

"No second price, if you like it, buy it, if you don't like it, forget it."

This is already the price of conscience. Based on the grievances between them, it is considered kind of her not to ask for a hundred guan.

If it weren't for his family background, he might not be able to get a hundred guan, and this meal is also a new thing for him. Whether it is useful or not is still open to question, unlike Wisdom Thirst Water, which has already produced significant results. He may not be willing to pay such a high price to buy it, she really wants to ask for a hundred guan.

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll go back now to get the money and bring the child here." Duan Er cupped his hands and led the villagers away.

Wen Shu also turned back to the tea shop. As soon as he walked out of the forest, he saw a person standing at the door of the back room, looking around.

"Where have you been?" Seeing Wen Shu, Chu Hong trotted forward.

"Go find something in the woods."

"Looking for something with a rice bowl?"

Wen Shu didn't answer, but asked instead, "Why are you here?"

Didn't it mean that today is the summer solstice, and I want to spend the festival with my third uncle and third aunt at home.

"You think I want to come, it's not because my third aunt is arguing to come to offer incense."

Aunt Chu also came, and Wen Shu blinked.

Even today, she is too diligent. This shows how pious she is in worshiping the gods and how urgent she is in begging for a child.

Wen Shu said: The pressure is great.

However, when she returned to the front, she realized that the third aunt was not the only one who was devout and urgent.
