Volume 1 Small Events in a Big City Chapter 26 Nuan Nuan
Xiao Jinyan jumped into the carriage and rushed into the dense forest. He did not dare to walk on the main road, so he specially picked remote paths and ran away while the night was shining. After walking for more than ten miles, Xiao Jinyan found that he was lost. Fortunately, the terrain of the mountains and forests was complicated and the night was covered, so he threw away the people in Yixiaotang.
Xiao Jinyan got out of the car. The road became narrower and narrower, and could only accommodate a carriage. When he was heading towards the night sky, there were towering forests around him, and he couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, south and north. How could he find a way out? Xiao Jinyan turned around and said, "This..."
He suddenly paused. During the day, the maid Xiaohong called her a lady, and Elder Liu called her wife. Now the man in the car didn't say a word, and he couldn't tell what to call this person. He could only say, "I'm Xiao Jinyan, entrusted by Elder Liu, and I'll send you to Yangzhou."
The people in the car still had no sound.
Xiao Jinyan thought to himself that this person was a mute, what should I do? However, since he had collected Jin Yezi, he was the one who kept his promise, so he made up his mind that whether the other party was a mute or a deaf person, sending her into Yangzhou City was not considered a breaking promise.
At this moment, a sigh came from the car.
Xiao Jinyan asked, "Can you hear it?"
After a while, a voice in the car said, "Has Elder Liu been martyred?"
The speaker was a woman, and the voice was extremely sweet. Xiao Jinyan guessed that the woman should be young, so he said, "Elder Liu just tried his best to send you out. Girl, please be mournful." The woman sighed again, "Elder Liu loves me the most in the sect. Now he has left me, leaving me alone in the world. What's the point?"
Seeing that she was in a low mood, Xiao Jinyan comforted her, "Elder Liu just went to another paradise. People cannot be resurrected. Girl, don't be unwilling to think about it." The woman was silent again, and Xiao Jinyan asked again, "What kind of relatives do you have in Yangzhou City?"
The woman said, "Where are relatives? A year ago, I had a strange disease. This time I went to Yangzhou to find the Six-Finger Medical Saint Dr. Xue, but I don't know who leaked the news, which attracted the pursuit of enemies. The brothers in the sect were killed and killed along the way. If I had known that they would have harmed them, I would rather die in Xianyang."
It turned out that he was going to see a doctor. Xiao Jinyan thought to himself that the Six-Finger Medical Saint is a great man in the world. His medical skills are unparalleled in the world. He has the ability to bring back the dead and resurrect bones and flesh. It is said that no matter how serious the injuries and illnesses are, as long as he has a tone, he can save his life without worries. He has a quirk. As long as the patients he undertakes, he will give all his strength to save him. Every time he dies, he will cut off his finger. Since twenty years ago, he has never failed again. However, although his medical skills are high, his medical ethics are not good. He regards wealth as his life, and his medical fees are ridiculously high.
Xiao Jinyan had a deal with him once. In Kaifeng, the Yellow River broke its dam and the plague was flooded. Xiao Jinyan gave him 100,000 taels of silver and saved thousands of lives. Later, he lost all his money, and Doctor Xue left, causing the two to have a little unhappy relationship.
Xiao Jinyan advised, "Don't worry, since Elder Liu has entrusted you to me, I will definitely send you to Yangzhou City without any harm."
The woman said softly, "Xiao Daxiao, why are you so kind to me?"
Xiao Jinyan scratched his head and said, "I took Elder Liu ten taels of gold."
The woman said this and kept silent.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Miss, the road ahead is inconvenient, and you may have to abandon your car later. Can you walk now?"
The woman said, "I am so jealous of this kind of disease, I can't stand it either. Xiao Daxiao, can I change my way?" Xiao Jinyan thought to himself, no wonder you have never gotten off the carriage in the past two days, and it turned out that there was such a reason, so he said, "Then it's better to do this first. You have bedding in your car. If you have to abandon the car, you can wrap you up and make plans."
The two continued to move forward, but fortunately, the forests were dense and there were many roads. The people in Yixiaotang did not catch up. After about an hour, the carriage finally left the forest and came to a plain. At this time, the sky was getting brighter and a line of fish was white in the east.
Not far ahead is a village, with smoke rising from the village, and people have already cooked. Xiao Jinyan opened a family, bought two bowls of plain noodles for two cents of silver, and handed one of them in through the car window, "Girl, the countryside family, eat plain food, just make do with it."
The woman took it over, and Xiao Jinyan only felt that the woman's hands were as slender as soft as soft and her skin was as coagulated as fat, which was very attractive. However, the owner of the hands had a strange disease and couldn't help but sigh. She sat next to the carriage and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Suddenly, he thought to himself that he was terrible. He was fleeing last night and actually left Mr. Lu in the woods. It was impossible to turn back at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a pity. When he was at his most downturn, Mr. Lu had been with him and was half a good friend. Now, it was in the wild mountains and forests and it must be able to take good care of itself.
After a while, the woman said, "I'll eat it."
Xiao Jinyan took the bowls and chopsticks and found that he had almost not moved. He asked, "Girl, the food is not to your taste?"
The woman said, "I can't eat it."
Xiao Jinyan said: "You are weak and you can't just stop eating it. In this way, you may not be able to starve to death without waiting for the people from Yixiaotang to chase you. You will starve to death on the road. When you go to Yangzhou, even if Dr. Xue is skilled in medical skills, he will not be able to cure the starving ghosts."
The woman chuckled and said, "I am used to eating rich clothes and food. This kind of food is really hard to swallow. If you are not full, eat this bowl of noodles too." Xiao Jinyan said yes, only after eating is full can you have the strength to fight with the people in Yixiaotang. So she swallowed it voraciously and ate all the remaining noodles like a wind storm.
The woman asked: "Do you eat like this?"
Xiao Jinyan laughed and said that he couldn't do it. He couldn't even have a full meal on weekdays.
While the two were rushing to the road, Xiao Jinyan chatted with her, told her the story of her hungry and full meal in Suzhou City, and the story of living in Fan Wuchang's home and fighting wits and courage with the stingy old rich man. The woman couldn't help laughing out loud, as if she had forgotten the crisis of the great enemy and the people in Yixiaotang were still chasing them.
"Xiao Daxiao, how long will it take to arrive in Yangzhou?"
Xiao Jinyan said it would take two days to go away last night, and I don’t know where it is now.
After traveling for another half a day, I rarely encountered pedestrians on the road. Xiao Jinyan felt strange, why didn’t the people in Yixiaotang catch up?
There was an old man not far away. He had just finished packing his crops and was squatting in the field to smoke dry tobacco. Xiao Jinyan drove over, "Laojia, uncle, I am from Suzhou. I took my sister to Yangzhou for treatment two days ago. Unexpectedly, I met a bandit on the road and came here in a panic. I wonder how to get from here to Yangzhou?"
The old man smoked, looked up and down at Xiao Jinyan, and coughed twice.
Xiao Jinyan asked again.
The old man said, "I heard that, but I asked me for directions, but I would have to charge."
Xiao Jinyanqi said: "How can I find out about the road? Do you also need money?"
"You don't understand such a simple truth?"
"Speak up?"
The old man smiled, "Young man, since you are so humble in asking for advice, I will explain to you. Nowadays, even Beidou charges, so where can I have free lunch? What's more, if you ask me for directions, if I don't ask you for some benefits, I will show you the way, would you dare to go?"
"That's right, I don't know how the old man charges for this question?"
The old man was excited when he heard this, "Do you want to ask if you want to ask about the shortcut or the longcut? There are ten copper plates at shortcut, and there is only one copper plate at longcut."
Xiao Jinyan had no copper plate except the ten gold leaves on his body. Instead, the woman in the car handed over a silver ingot and said, "Xiao Daxiao, you can use this." Xiao Jinyan thought to himself that he could not be so cruel even if he had money, not to mention that he would not reveal his wealth. If he really gave this old man so much money, he might have made up any trouble, so he used his internal force to pinch the silver ingot into thin strips, cut a penny, and handed it over.
Seeing that he was so generous, the old man smiled happily and said, "You are lucky today and you met me. To be honest, if you continue like this, you will not be able to reach Yangzhou for another month."
“Why?”
"Nonsense, this is the territory of Changshu. You should go west when you go to Yangzhou!" The old man pinched the money in his hand and said, "Follow this official road twenty miles west, and meet Baimayi, turn the road from there and head north, and you can get there in two days, but..."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "But what?"
The old man smiled again and said, "There is no peace near Yangzhou recently, and bandits often appear." The old man paused, "Just spend another ounce of silver, I will show you a clear way and let you avoid them."
Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to give him another ounce. The old man said, "There is a Shuanglong Mountain to the north of Baimayi. There are dozens of green forests gathered on the mountain. Be careful when you walk, it is best to bypass them. If you think it is troublesome, my son often goes to Yangzhou. As long as the price is right, I can ask him to be your guide."
Xiao Jinyan even said no.
"Think about it, just a few taels of silver can avoid a disaster, which is very cost-effective."
Xiao Jinyan laughed and said to himself that we had offended the Yixiaotang, and were still afraid of the "heroes" of Shuanglong Mountain? So he thanked him and said goodbye to him. The old man swallowed his cigarette, sighed, and said, "Young people nowadays really don't know the importance of it."
The two turned the front of the car and drove westward.
After walking for a while, the woman in the car burst into laughter. Xiao Jinyan asked curiously what to laugh, and the woman said, "I said why didn't the people in Yixiaotang chase after us? It turned out that we were going backward. I guess Yuwen Shuang won't chase us, so would she be angry to death."
Xiao Jinyan said: "It's not necessarily true that it's so angry that Yixiaotang is quite powerful in Suzhou. If we send orders to the world to chase us, it's probably not easy for our trip to Yangzhou."
The woman whispered, "Hiss Xiao, if you really encounter danger, if you lose, just run away. There is no need to fight against Yixiaotang for me, a weak woman, and lose your life."
Xiao Jinyan patted his chest, "Haha, you call me a hero, how can you do such a thing? Don't worry, even if you die, I will never go back on your word. Along the way, if you lose a piece of hair, the account will be settled on me."
The woman felt very relieved when she heard this. She grew up in the mountain gate since she was a child and had a delicate status. Everyone was cautious in their words and actions when they saw her. No one had ever talked to her as carelessly as Xiao Jinyan, and couldn't help but feel good about Xiao Jinyan.
"Nuannuan."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "What?"
