Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 79 Liars
After lunch, the rain gradually stopped, but after discussing with Mrs. Chen and Guanshi Liu, they decided to stay in Gulou County today and leave tomorrow.

The reason is that if you drive in the afternoon, you may not be able to reach the next town after dark, and Miss Lu is delicate and weak, so it is not suitable to stay in the wild.

When Wen Shu heard this, the worry in his heart was almost written on his face.

She looked at Lu Xingwan who was sitting leaning on the edge of the bed, shaking his head while reading the book of poems, and asked Ai Qiqi: "Um, big girl, can we go back in half a month if we go this way?"

"Half a month?" Lu Xingwan paused for a while, and then said: "No, it will take half a month on the light road. You said that I have to stay with my grandmother for a few days because I am rushing so far away. God, if the weather is good, I can come back in about a month."

"What! It really takes a month!" Although I had already guessed in my heart, when I faced it, I still felt very angry: "Then Master Lu can say half a month."

"Brother told you that?" Lu Xingwan didn't know the situation here, but seeing Wen Shu walking around the room anxiously, he couldn't help asking: "Is there something you want to rush back to Bianjing, little lady?" ?”

Wen Shu stopped, frowned, and said, "It's all right, but before I came, I told my father that I would return in half a month, but now the time has been extended, and if I don't see me by then, my father doesn't know how much to worry about it." .”

Hearing this was the reason, Lu Xingwan laughed out loud: "I still think it's a big deal, but it's just a matter of writing a letter or sending a message, and it happens that I have to report to my brother every day, Why don't you write a letter, little lady, and I'll let the post station take it with me when the time comes."

Wen Shu was waiting for her to say this. Since the first day of departure, seeing the speed of the convoy, she began to worry about whether she would be able to return in half a month. Now this problem has been solved. .

However, after half a month out of thin air, she was still a little depressed. After all, every day more time, the burden on her heart would be heavier.

No, she seemed to remember that the contract stated in black and white that as a girl from Lu, she would treat her close to her for "half a month" and take the responsibility of protecting her.

In other words, counting from the day of departure on the [-]th, as long as Miss Lu has no accidents within half a month, her mission will be considered complete. As for the extra half month, she can continue to protect in a humanitarian spirit. But if there is an accident unfortunately, legally speaking, there is no need to be held accountable.

Thinking of this, she instantly relaxed and felt comfortable all over.

Thank you Miss Lu, she was about to go back to the couch, thinking about the plan for the second half, when she saw Yinhong running in, angrily said: "Girl, we have met a liar!"

Lu Xingwan paused, put the book aside and said, "What's going on?"

"The group of beggars we met at noon are fake!" Yin Hong said angrily.

"Ah?" Lu Xingwan was a little stunned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of her words.

The beggars can be fake, it depends on their clothes and dirty faces, it is difficult for normal people to pretend to beg like that, unless there is a real problem.

"Oh, it's not the beggars begging for money, it's the one who said his mother was hysterical. It's a lie."

Then Yinhong took her downstairs to buy things, and then she heard people talking about how much money the boy in the morning had cheated with this trick in the street, her tone was quite flamboyant.

When Yinhong heard this, she was so angry that she ran back to report.

Lu Xingwan also felt very uncomfortable when she heard that, two taels of silver was not a big deal to her, but she couldn't bear to have her good intentions taken advantage of by others.

After thinking about it, she asked Yinhong: "Have you found out where they live?"

Yinhong nodded her head, "I found out, it is said to be a mountain god living in the west."

"Okay, now go downstairs and order some guards, and follow me to the mountain temple later."

"Hey." Yinhong replied crisply, and hurriedly went downstairs to recruit people.

Nanny Chen came over with the white fungus and red date soup that Chef Wang had just made, and seeing Yinhong hurried out, she was puzzled, "Didn't this girl go shopping, and she came back so soon."

Lu Xingwan recounted what happened in the morning, and after listening to Nanny Chen, she persuaded her, "You will gain a lot of wisdom by eating a ditch, and two taels of money is not much. As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. This is not the first time they have done this." You lied, but you haven’t been taught a lesson for so long, so you must have something to rely on, according to this old slave, let’s forget it, we’ll leave here early in the morning, so it’s better not to cause trouble.”

"Mommy, I'm worrying too much. I'm only twenty miles away from the capital, so I won't be able to provoke you. If it's farther away, don't you have to be a man with your tail between your legs."

Seeing that Nanny Chen still wanted to persuade her again, she said: "But what Nanny said is also reasonable, I'm not that reckless, I just brought someone over there to see what kind of god that little gentleman surnamed Liu is, He even lied to me."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Nanny Chen sighed, and then said: "Then I will go with the girl, and I will get some more guards by the way, and safety is the top priority when I go out."

Lu Xingwan stopped arguing, and said obediently, "Okay, just listen to Mommy."

The two agreed that after a while, the fifteen guards formed a formation outside the inn, Wen Shu and Lu Liu helped Lu Xingwan go downstairs, and the group headed for the temple on the west mountain.

But when they arrived at the place, the building was already empty, and there was still a pile of unburned firewood in the open space in the center of the hall. Judging from the smell in the air, porridge should have been cooking here not long ago.

Wen Shu rubbed his chin, got the letter ahead of time, and ran away?

That's right, it's common sense for people in this line of work to come here in such a big way, and they came here in such a big way, it seems that the comers are not good, and if they get the news, there is no reason not to run away.

At first glance, this mountain temple has no incense for a long time. There are holes in the roof in many places, and the mountain statue in the main hall is also covered with a thick room of dust. Besides, only beggars really live here.

Seeing this, Lu Xingwan couldn't help wondering if Yin Hong had heard her wrongly. After all, if that young man surnamed Liu was really a liar and cheated so many people, he should have some money at hand. Live in this broken and remote mountain temple.

After thinking about it, I remembered that I had given the money on my own initiative in the morning, and the young man had even reasoned that she insisted on letting others continue. If I really wanted to say that I was cheating, it would not be worth talking about, so I took a break and looked for that person again. idea.

"Forget it, since people have already run away, let's go back too."

Nanny Chen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was worried along the way, fearing that there would be conflicts. Now it's all over, the man ran away, and the girl rested her mind.

When a group of people walked out, Wen Shu, who fell behind, suddenly called out: "Girl, there is something here."

　Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
