You are back

Chapter 11 One Bear One Book

The town is extremely small, but there is a rather small inn with a nice name, Liulian Inn.

Chen Yanfeng took out his luggage from the inn, looked at Yushu, who was looking around with frowning eyebrows, and then at Li Yan, who was staring at the snack shop opposite. He took out two sticks of dried meat, bit one himself, and handed one to Gen gave Li Yan, "How do you plan to get to Yuzhang City? Walking?"

Li Yan took the jerky, twisted it into two pieces, and handed half to Yushu, "You send me there."

"You... It's fine, anyway, when I go back to Yunmengze, I happen to pass by Yuzhang City, and I'll take you along the way. Let's go, don't look, the shopkeeper's lady is sick, and the food made by the shopkeeper is worse than shit. "

Li Yan was turned off by what he said. He bit the dried meat and followed him out of the town.

"Walk there? How many days will it take?" Li Yan asked behind Chen Yanfeng.

"That depends on who." Chen Yanfeng turned his head and squinted at Li Yan, "If I am alone, it will only be three or five days, as for you..." Chen Yanfeng curled his lips and shook his head, "Whether we can get there is still a matter of discussion."

"Look for a car." Li Yan asked bluntly.

"You said that you, a woman like you, can still get married even if the women from the Li family in Yuzhang are like you? Are you asking for help? Why do you want to pay for a car?" Chen Yanfeng couldn't lower the corner of his mouth.

Li Yan just chewed the dried meat and didn't answer. Chen Yanfeng sighed, "It's not that I'm not looking for it. Look at this place. It's so poor. How can there be a car? You have to go to Taoyuan Town first. There are often traders passing by in Taoyuan Town. Good luck. If so, you can catch a ride in a day or two to Taogen Wharf and rent a boat to Chaisang. Chaisang is a large wharf and very lively. Once you get off the boat and find a car, you can reach Yuzhang in just half a day. City."

"How long does it take to get to Taoyuan Town?"

"Most of the day." Chen Yanfeng looked at Li Yan, "You are not walking slowly. If you can keep walking like this, you can arrive before dark."

"Well, let's go." Li Yan finished eating the dried meat, clapped her hands, threw her arms and walked forward. She was very good at walking and was very experienced.

…………

Yangzhou, a few alleys behind the Huainan Palace, where the generals and servants of the palace live, as well as the small officials of the palace, the book office, and some "staff" who bear the title of staff but are not as good as small officials.

With a gloomy face, Xiong Keding pressed the handle of the saber with one hand, and swung it vigorously with the other. He strode across the alley and went straight to a dilapidated small courtyard in the innermost part of the alley.

In the yard, Yu Shu was humming a tune happily, plucking the feathers of a dead pigeon with his eyes narrowed.

Xiong Keding kicked open the courtyard door, Yu Shu was startled, turned to see Xiong Keding, heaved a sigh of relief, "Blind Xiong, let me tell you, I am not only repairing this door, I kicked down the door, you have to take care of the door and lead the courtyard." Let me repair the wall together!"

"Is this the pigeon that died of illness in Erye's pigeon house?" Xiong Keding asked while looking at the pigeon in Yu Shu's hand.

"Your eyesight... What's wrong with dying from illness? Why is death not death? It's a great supplement." Yu Shu chuckled dryly.

"I'm so stupid, I'm so unlucky for treating you, a pickled wretch, as an expert!" Xiong Keding sat down on a broken bamboo chair, which creaked.

"As long as a person who is born extraordinary and can see the secrets of the sky, one of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings must be accounted for. I am poor because I am an expert. With such profound knowledge, I will tell you that you will also listen to it." I don't understand." Yu Shu continued to talk while happily plucking the pigeon's feathers.

"Bullshit! I think you have five faults and three deficiencies. Let me ask you, did your master tell you about Duo Yunjian?" Xiong Keding stared at Yu Shu.

"Of course, my master is the most powerful person in the world. If he were to be called second, then no one would dare to be called the first. What my master said is every word, every word is true knowledge and insight. I tell you You, my master..." When he mentioned his master, Yu Shu felt proud.

"I've been to Duoyunjian." Xiong Keding's dark words stopped Yu Shu's complacency, "What? You've been there? What do you mean? Don't tell me, you're really going to steal someone else's treasure gone?"

"Yes. I went. I went with Fourth Master." Xiong Keding screwed up his teeth.

"What?!" Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, screamed, and jumped up, the pigeon flew out of his hand, drawing an arc, and he didn't know where it went. "It's over, it's over! Mother! Hurry up..."

"Where are you running?" Xiong Keding grabbed Yu Shu, who was about to run away, "Tell me clearly what's going on? Otherwise, I'm going to die, and you can put the coffin in my hands!"

"Master! Master Xiong, if you don't run away quickly, you're going to be doomed. You don't know what I'm capable of? I've been calculating hexagrams for half my life, but I can't pass even one hexagram..."

"Why not? When I went to war, everyone said that I had to die outside, but you can count that I can come back alive and make great contributions." Xiong Keding pressed Yu Shu on the broken bamboo chair.

"It's not allowed that time. The hexagram said that you will die without a doubt. I just said that you can make great achievements for your peace of mind and to make you happy before you die. You didn't really go to Duoyunjian, did you? I heard what happened to Fourth Master." Yu Shu gradually recovered from the shock.

"You!" Xiong Keding was so angry that he didn't know where to get angry when he heard what Yu Shu said. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Can you say that? It's all about saving face!" Yu Shu muttered. "Didn't you really go? Old bear, we can't make fun of this to scare people. If people scare people, it can scare people to death. You..."

"The prince has taken over the responsibility, but the fourth master is still kneeling in the ancestral hall." Xiong Keding's face was clouded.

"You didn't say it was me..." Yu Shu's face turned green, "You can't blame me for this. I'm famous for my bad mouth and talking nonsense. If you believe me, that's not... I It’s nonsense, old bear, don’t take it to heart, if you betrayed me, I wouldn’t be here long ago.”

"If surrendering you is useful, can I still keep you? First, tell me, what did your master say?" Xiong Keding frowned, confused and slightly frightened.

"My master, this old man..." Yu Shu swallowed, "His old man... Okay, you wait." Yu Shu stood up and went into the house. Xiong Keding followed closely and also entered the house.

Yu Shu took a box from the broken bookshelf, rubbed his hands on his clothes, opened the box, rubbed it again, took out a few thin and tattered pages, and carefully placed them on the table.

"This is what my master and his old man left me, and it can be regarded as my master's old man's words..." Yu Shu explained with a dry smile.

"Fart!" Xiong Keding stretched his neck to see clearly, "These are the few pieces of tattered paper you bought at the temple fair on the Lantern Festival this year, and you borrowed money from me! I have a better memory than you!"
