A new day began, and the people who heard the news were squatting under the pine trees in the distance, which was a stone's throw away, and passers-by were afraid of being injured by mistake, so they took a detour far away, and there was not even a single mosquito in the jade house.
Countless pairs of eyes eagerly looked at the gate from afar, until Cheng Mo came out of it, glanced at the black pressure under the pine tree, and got on the horse as if nothing happened.
Kuroko said: "Ah Lang, you have to send them away" Cheng Mo shook his head, as long as these people don't make noise about him, it's good if they want to peep, then it's okay to peep, thinking that if they look at it from afar, they can get the salt lead, which is too naïve.
Guangling, is the county under the rule of Yangzhou, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Wangfu sent here to dig a ditch, in order to pass through the Jianghuai, to dominate the Central Plains.
Today, the ditch is still there, and the ditch water is quite clear.
A few small stones beside the ditch, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sat on them, looking at the slowly flowing ditch water in a daze, the sun shining on her smooth forehead, time seemed to stand still.
"Girl, it's better to die than to live, just have something to think about."
Cheng Mo kindly persuaded her, I was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so she plunged into the ditch, not knowing the depth of the ditch, but don't really drown.
The girl raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were dazed for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she was so angry: "What do you say, who is going to die?"
You don't want to die, what are you sitting here in a daze Cheng Mo said: "Isn't the girl unable to think about it?"
The girl was stunned: "You can't think about it."
Without looking at Cheng Mo again, he got up and left.
Cheng Mo He was once snubbed by the officials in Yangzhou City, the rich man with a head and a face, who didn't dig out his heart to scold him Heizi saw that the girl gave Cheng Mo a look, and wanted to step forward to reprimand her, but was stopped by Cheng Mo, and then he also walked to the stone and sat down.
The girl walked to a thatched hut not far away, turned around and saw Cheng Mo sitting where she had just sat there, thought about it, walked back again, and said, "Hey, it's better to die than to live, just think about something." ” This girl is a refusal to admit defeat, Cheng Mo smiled, and said: "Yes, I just don't want to live anymore, you might as well unravel me" "Why?"
"It's good for you."
The girl wrinkled Xiao Yao's nose and said disdainfully: "Shameless." ” This time, she simply walked away without looking back.
Cheng Mo walked along the ditch, and looked at the relics left by Wu Wangfucha, and when he was about to leave, he passed by the thatched house again, and the girl drew water from the ditch, and just saw Cheng Mo and a few people leading the horse, so he raised his voice and said: "I haven't left yet" Cheng Mo smiled: "You want me to go" "If you can't leave, what's the matter with me" The girl said and carried the bucket into the hospital, the water in the bucket was too full, she struggled to lift it, and a lot of water overflowed as she walked, splashing the corners of her skirt.
The old man in the courtyard heard the voice, walked out, and said to Cheng Mo with a smile: "The little girl is rude, don't mind Xiao Langjun." ” The old man has gray hair and beard, Cheng Mo is estimated to be in his early sixties, and he is naturally spoiled by old age and women.
In front of other people's fathers, laughing at other people's daughters, Cheng Mo was a little embarrassed, and said, "Uncle, the kid is polite here." ” He is now a gentleman who travels in the mountains and rivers, not the king of Bei'an.
The old man returned the salute and warmly invited: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Xiao Langjun might as well rest in the cold house." ” The sun was shining, and it was afternoon, but it wasn't very hot.
Cheng Mo walked all morning, just looking for a place to rest, eating by the way, he was used to three meals a day, and he didn't eat at lunch, and his stomach protested.
"Thank you, uncle, I'm welcome."
Cheng Mo said and handed the reins to Baidu.
Heizi took out a piece of silver and handed it over, the old man refused to accept it, and Cheng Mo said, "Please also ask the old man to buy some banquets." ” When the old man heard that he wanted to buy wine and meat, he accepted it, invited Cheng Mo in, and instructed the girl not to be rude to the guests, and then went out to buy wine and meat.
In the small hall, only Cheng Mo sat alone, the girl thought about it, walked in, blinked her big eyes, and said, "You bad guy, what do you want to do?"
"How did I become a bad person" Cheng Mo said: "Why don't you go and boil water, invite me to tea." ” Tea in this era, is not an ordinary drink, but only the aristocracy can afford to drink it, some remote areas also use tea to cure diseases, the girl naturally has not drunk it, blinking at Cheng Mo with big eyes.
Cheng Mo said: "Boil water, do you understand?"
After walking in Guangling for most of the day, he was a little thirsty, although he didn't bring a tea set, but the tea was brought with him, and it was right to boil water and drink tea to quench his thirst.
He would stop here just to have tea and eat and rest.
The girl boss was not happy and said, "You are talking about human words, and I understand." ” Soon boiling boiling water was served, and Cheng Mo put a few green leaves into the cup, poured boiling water, and the leaves floated and sank in the water, and said curiously: "What is this?"
Cheng Mo looked at her as a curious baby, and had the heart to tease her, and said, "I don't understand, this is a leaf." ” "Leaves" the girl said strangely: "How can you drink leaves" and the aroma is fragrant.
Cheng Mo picked up another piece of tea leaves, shook it in front of her, and said, "This is not what a leaf is."
The girl snatched it, looked at it over and over for a long time, and said, "It's so strange, what kind of leaf is this, you can also flush and drink, you give me two pieces, I'll drink and see." ” Cheng Mo learned her tone on the side of the ditch and said, "Why." ” Kuroko, who was standing like a stake in the yard, rolled his eyes, how boring Ah Lang was, so he had the leisure to tease her.
The girl lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "The food I make is very delicious, if you give me two slices, I will make two dishes for you to taste, but you have to provide the meat." ” Cheng Mo glanced at her up and down, her figure was very good, her bumps were convex, and the clothes on her body were also clean, and she couldn't see a trace of oil smoke.
He deliberately said: "It turned out to be a cook, disrespectful and disrespectful." ” The girl glared at him angrily and said, "I'm not a cook."
In fact, she is greedy and wants to take advantage of Cheng Mo's squirt here to get some delicious food, but it seems that Cheng Mo is not easy to fool.
Soon, the old man came back from buying meat, in addition to half a leg of mutton, there was also a rabbit, and then called the girl: "Yi'er, come and help." ” The girl named Yi'er whispered: "If you don't give me leaves, I'll sprinkle a handful of salt, salty you, so that you can't eat it." ” Yangzhou is a salt-producing area, and salt is really not a rare thing here.
Cheng Mo saw that she gritted her teeth, and it seemed that she would not give her tea, so she would really come to such a hand, so she smiled and said: "Isn't it just tea, what's the matter if I give you two pieces, oh, take it." ” The girl put away the two tea leaves with great importance, and then responded: "It's coming." ” Soon, the meat was cooked and served, and the old man returned a piece of broken silver to Kuroko: "This is the leftover from the meat." ” Kuroko is willing to accept him.
Cheng Mo ate a chopstick for everything, it tasted very good, and instructed Heizi: "Reward." ” The old man got two ingots of silver, one piece of broken silver, and smiled from ear to ear.
The girl said proudly: "The meat I made, it's delicious."
She was very confident in her craft, and secretly kept a piece of meat, a little proud, and smiled like a little fox. t1706231537:
