Chapter 40: Crossing the River (I)


Hu Xiaotian and his entourage hurriedly left the Huancai Pavilion, and not long after they walked out of the gate, they heard someone behind them shouting: "Brother Hu, please stay" Hu Xiaotian and the three of them turned around together, but saw Xiangqin rushing over again, Murong Feiyan thought that she regretted changing the hexagram, and held the hilt of the sword vigilantly and waited for it.

Hu Xiaotian, who was born with a smiling face, smiled and said, "Sister Qin has any instructions for me?"

Xiangqin Gege said with a smile: "Call me sister at you, I naturally have to send you something, this is going to Qingyun Mountain Gaoshuichang, I just checked your luggage, there is not even half a copper plate, I see that the three of you are also without long things, since you go to Qingyun to take office, you can't beg all the way over, I have fifty taels of silver here, and you can take it to make a coil."

She handed over a small package in her hand.

Hu Xiaotian really couldn't figure it out, just now he had to force himself to write down an IOU of one thousand taels, and now he was generous and charitable, could it be that this fat sister really took a fancy to herself Murong Feiyan looked at Hu Xiaotian, if she was replaced, she would definitely refuse, Jiupin is also an official, and she must also know how to face and integrity, how can she accept a woman's charity Hu Xiaotian's body obviously does not have the temperament that Murong Feiyan expects, this thing actually accepts it with a hippie smile, Hu Xiaotian has his own philosophy of life, no matter what era, no one will be unable to get along with money, a penny is hard to die a hero, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.

It's not a matter of principle and righteousness, not to mention that I have already signed an IOU of 1,000 taels, so what's the harm if I owe more than 50 yuan, as the so-called lice don't itch and don't worry about debts, don't say that you send 50 taels, I dare to take 1,000 taels.

Of course, Hu Xiaotian didn't believe that Xiangqin's motivation would be so simple, he smiled: "Sister Qin, do you want me to go back and write another IOU" Xiangqin shook her head and said, "No, I can trust you."

When she said this, there was no sincerity in her eyes, and her expression was clearly saying that it was strange to believe you.

Hu Xiaotian took the silver, sang a promise, looked at Xiangqin and walked into the Huancai Pavilion, and then left with Murong Feiyan.

Regarding Hu Xiaotian's favor, Murong Feiyan naturally had a fierce argument with him, but she also had to admit the fact that if there were no fifty taels, they would have to go to the pawnshop.

With these fifty taels, at least they can have a good meal, find a clean and comfortable inn to sleep well, recharge their energy, and set off again.

It took four days from Xiezhou to Qingyun County, during which it was very hard to go over the mountains and wade through the rivers, but although it was bitter, after all, there was no risk, with the fifty taels of silver sent by Xiangqin as a guarantee, naturally I would not worry about food and accommodation.

Over the last mountain beam, the city of Qingyun County is already in sight, most of the scars on Liang Dazhuang's face have healed, these days, this guy is a lot more honest, knowing that he is at a loss, he has caused a lot of trouble to Hu Xiaotian, and he is always ready to meet Hu Xiaotian's stormy beating, but this beating has never fallen on his head, Hu Xiaotian did not pursue this matter, as if nothing happened.

But the more this is the case, the more bottomless Liang Dazhuang's heart becomes, and he always feels that there is a big hammer hanging above his head, and he doesn't know when it will fall.

This taste was even more uncomfortable than being beaten, Liang Dazhuang couldn't help it after all, and cautiously came to Hu Xiaotian's side.

Hu Xiaotian was sitting there checking his pulse, and through these observations, he was already convinced that Qiqi had indeed given him the antidote to the Seven-Day Soul Breaking Needle, and the residual poison in his body should be completely cleared.

Besides, seven days have passed since the poisoning, and there is nothing wrong with me, so it seems that my luck is not bad, and I have survived the catastrophe after all.

Liang Dazhuang diligently handed the water bladder to Hu Xiaotian: "Young master, you drink water" Hu Xiaotian waved his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at the big river in front of him, Murong Feiyan had already gone down the river to find a boat that could cross the river.

Liang Dazhuang coughed a little uneasily and said, "Young Master, I can't help you." ” Hu Xiaotian's eyes finally glanced at him, and said casually: "It's so dignified, why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Liang Dazhuang said: "That day, in Pengyin Mountain, I encountered wolves, I was in a mess, I shouldn't have left the young master and fled alone." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What's the use of you staying, the final result is just one more person feeding the wolf." ” Liang Dazhuang's face was flushed by what he said: "Young master, you really don't blame me" "If you survive, it proves that your vitality is tenacious enough, God is not ready to accept you, God will not accept you, why should I blame you" "Uh, this" Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm just wondering, how did you escape from the wolves at that time" Liang Dazhuang was a little embarrassed and said: "I saw the wolves coming, I was so frightened that I threw out the two big packages in my hand, and then I rolled down the hillside with my head in my arms, thinking that even if I fell to death, it was better than feeding the wolves."

I tumbled all the way down, fainted halfway, and when I came to my senses, I found that I had reached the foot of the mountain, and there was a package not far from me, and I picked up the package and looked for another one, but I couldn't find it anyway.

I wanted to turn around and save the young master, but I heard the ghost crying wolf on the mountain, I" Speaking of this, Liang Dazhuang knelt down with a plop, raised his hands and opened the bow left and right and slapped himself a few times, crying and said: "Young master, you punish me, even if you kill the minion, the minion will not say a word." ” Hu Xiaotian patted his fleshy shoulder and said: "I don't blame you, what did you do to kill you, you were able to escape completely, and I also found my official seal and documents, this is obviously a great achievement, I can't reward you too late, how can I blame you" Liang Dazhuang will be suspicious, since Pengyin Mountain got out of trouble, he feels that he has made a big mistake, his heart is uneasy, panic and can not live all day, the reason why he came all the way to Xiezhou, is because there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Hu Xiaotian can get out of danger, if Hu Xiaotian is dead, he will not dare to go back to the capital, and since then he has been incognito in the world, I only hope that it is good not to be found by Hu Buwei, otherwise Hu Buwei will definitely kill him to Hu Xiaotian to be buried.

Therefore, Hu Xiaotian was able to escape a catastrophe, which means that Liang Dazhuang also escaped a catastrophe, although he was uneasy, he was still very happy in his heart.

Liang Dazhuang said with tears: "Young master, I, Liang Dazhuang, swear to the sky that in the future, I will never frown for the young master to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and use my life to protect the young master's safety." ” Hu Xiaotian knew that although this guy was sensational, it was just lip service, plus he abandoned himself at a few dangerous moments, and if he really encountered something, he would run away, but Hu Xiaotian looked at these things very lightly, no one is not afraid of death, including himself, Liang Dazhuang is just a family member, and he can't be asked to be like a party member, who is not afraid of hardship and death, not everyone can be a hero.

Hu Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Get up, old man, crying like a girl, follow me in the future to do things steadily, this young master can't lose you." ” Liang Dazhuang nodded tearfully, only to feel that the young master's mind seemed to be much broader than in the past.

Murong Feiyan searched for a long time but didn't find a bridge, and he didn't expect that Qingyun County would still be in trouble when he was already in sight, and when he was hesitating, he saw a white-haired fisherman humming a song while going up the river from downstream.

Murong Feiyan was overjoyed, beckoned to the fisherman from afar, and shouted, "Old man, can you take us across the river?"

Hu Xiaotian and Liang Dazhuang heard the movement and also got up and walked over.

The old man's beard and hair were all white, but his face was very ruddy, quite a bit of crane hair and childish face fairy wind bones, the old man swayed to the front, and raised his voice: "Where are the guest officers going?"

Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Old man, we want to go to Qingyun County, and we are about to arrive, but we can't imagine that we are blocked by this big river, and we can't find a bridge after looking for a long time." ” The old man said: "There was originally a bridge, and five miles up, there is a Qingyun Bridge. ” Hearing that there is a bridge five miles upstream, Hu Xiaotian hurriedly thanked him, after all, the five-mile journey is not far, and it is safer to walk over the bridge than to take a boat, not to mention that the old man rowed a flat boat, which may not be able to hold the weight of the three of them
