Great Sui Guoshi

The student mentioned by the old man had already walked through Fulinzhou at this time, leading a group of people with the donkey and walking leisurely on the avenue,

From Fulinzhou, which is a smooth road, it takes two to three hundred miles to reach the capital of Nancheng. Right now, everyone feels relaxed.

Along the way, the group of people before did not appear again, and Lu Liangsheng had a hard time thinking about the "destined person", and he couldn't figure out how he could be related to the monster related to the court.

As for the two men and one woman who were hunted down, especially the identity of the child, the other party did not want to disclose, the only thing they could say was their name.

Except for Cao Shouren, the woman's name is He Jingqiu, an ordinary name.

At this time, the official road is pleasant in autumn, and the scenery of the mountain village and the farmers are gradually decreasing. The woman picked up the naughty child on the back of the donkey and put it on the ground.

"Jing'er, it's time to come down."

Chen Jing was six or seven years old, when he was naughty. After getting acquainted with Lu Liangsheng and Sun Yingxian, his monkey-like temperament was revealed. Shou-ren and the woman chased after him.

At this moment, when Chen Jing heard his mother's words, Chen Jing responded calmly, and as soon as he reached the ground, he slid away, took out half a steamed bun bought on the way, ran to the bookshelf, and closed the door of the cubicle. Open it, look at a big toad coiled inside, and laugh.

He broke off a small piece of steamed bun, dangled it in front of Toad, and stuck out his tongue.

"Do you want to eat it? I just won't give it to you, just a little bit..."

In the cubicle, the veins on Toad's face were bulging.

He Jingqiu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she rushed forward to hug the child away: "Jing'er, don't cause trouble for Mister!"

Cao Shouren, who ran over, also glanced at the scholar over there with lingering fear. What happened that night is still vivid in his mind. The speed of hunting birds is very fast. Even with his martial arts, he may not be able to catch them. But it was curled up by the big toad with its tongue.

What's more, how can the things raised by ordinary high-level people be simple?

In front, Lu Liangsheng, who was talking to the Taoist, turned his head and looked at the child's head with his hand.

"It's okay, don't be so nervous."

With the other hand, the sleeve of the robe closed the small door of the compartment without a trace. During the half-month slow walk, the hardest ones should be Taoist Ha and Nie Honglian in the picture scroll. Will come out, stretch the muscles and bones to breathe.

"Look, mother, Mr. Lu is very good, isn't he?"

Chen Jing pulled the woman's sleeve, poked his face out and smiled happily. He had a good impression of the gentle-looking but weak scholar in front of him. He bought himself a few cakes on the way and ate two of them. One was given to the mother, and the other was snatched by the toad.

Teasing it with steamed buns just now gave me the pleasure of annoying the other party.

The time spent together during this period was the happiest time for Chen Jing. Looking at the scholar with a gentle smile in front of him, he sometimes thought in his heart that it would be great if his father was like him.

The sky sinks and rises again, and the time reaches the golden autumn of October. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Lu Liangsheng and his party have already reached the Tianzhi area. There are more pedestrians and business travelers passing by along the official road, and the stalls opened are becoming more and more dense.

"Take a look, take a look, the best silk and satin, the best gift for your wife and lover!!"

"...Passing guests, the tea in this shop is free, and the freshly slaughtered lamb is very fresh!"

"Here, here, every hotel in the city pays a penny, and a certain hotel will take him to stay, so there will be no room that cannot be booked when it is full."

……

Only half a mile away from the city gate, there are noisy and noisy sides on both sides of the official road, and pedestrians shuttle like a vegetable market.

"so big……"

It was also the first time for a Taoist to come to the capital, and the towering city walls stretched endlessly into the distance. When he exclaimed, Lu Liangsheng looked at the word "Tianzhi" carved on the city gate, turned around, and saw two men and one woman. There is Chen Jing who is reluctant to get off the donkey's back.

"There is no permanent banquet in the world, everyone, see you in the future."

Most of the colleagues who have been together for more than half a month are reluctant to part with them.

Chapter 85 Old News

The market outside the city gate is noisy and orderly.

They came all the way from the south, and when they arrived, it was finally time to say goodbye, the child felt a little bit reluctant, so he tugged on Lu Liangsheng's sleeve and shook it lightly.

"Mr. Lu, can I see you again in the future?"

Passers-by looked curiously, and those who didn't hear the previous sentence thought that father and son were separated.

"Yes, there is fate, we will meet again."

Putting aside the mystery of his identity, Lu Liangsheng also liked this child very much, so he suddenly reached out and took off the Pisces pearl pendant on his waist, put it in Chen Jing's hand, and stroked the child's head with his hand.

"This is a gift for you, take it well."

Chen Jing was holding the jade pendant, the warm breath conveyed to the palm of his hand from above, as if only he could see the luster, it flashed in the jade, raised his small face in surprise, and saw Lu Liangsheng put his finger between his lips' Hush' a bit.

"Don't tell others, if you encounter danger in the future, just press the jade bead."

The child nodded heavily: "Yes!"

He quickly put the jade pendant into his arms, and patted it twice like a baby.

This jade pendant was custom-made by Lu Liangsheng from a jade craftsman, and mana was added to it, so he carried it with him every day for painting and reading, and it was full of aura.

Giving it to this child is regarded as the fate of the two, one big and one small, and it can also help him resist some disasters.

At this time, Cao Shouren brought the coachman, and He Jingqiu also came to say goodbye, and arched their hands.

"Mr. Lu is righteous, otherwise we have been harmed. The grace of saving lives is greater than heaven. Please accept Cao's worship."

After speaking, he bowed deeply and bowed down.

The coachman and He Jingqiu also followed suit to salute. The latter had a lot of smiles on his face at the moment, probably because he had arrived in the capital, and he talked a lot more. He hugged the child and smiled.

"Mr. Lu, you might as well tell us the inn where you stayed. Our mother and son dare not forget the life-saving grace. After we settle down, we can find Mr. to repay your kindness."

Her attitude was sincere and earnest, not like that kind of hypocrisy, which made Lu Liangsheng a little hard to refuse, but he still shook his head with a smile.

"Although it is a life-saving grace, it is nothing more than a small effort to me. You don't have to worry about it. The sky is high and the road is far away in the wilderness. It is also a piece of fate. Besides, I am also a newcomer to Tianzhi, so I don't care where I live. There is no fixed number, so be it, you guys hurry to the city."

"and many more!!"

Sun Yingxian's voice suddenly came from the side of the road not far away. He was holding a few bolts of silk in his hand, and he stuffed them into the woman's hand with a smile. Cao Shouren looked at them, but hesitated to speak.

However, the woman accepted it calmly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth and a blessing to the Taoist.

"Thank you for the silk and satin, the Taoist priest. It happens to be a new dress for Jing'er."

He Jingqiu blissed slightly, her demeanor was not that noble that ordinary women should have, Pin Ting was graceful and decent, then Cao Shouren who was beside her came over and whispered a few words, then led Chen Jing to the city gate, then There were seven or eight men around to meet the mother and child. After talking for a few words, they looked at Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist with alert eyes, and then nodded, as if to say hello.

Lu Liangsheng arched his hands and smiled in return.

Over there, Chen Jing, who got into the carriage, opened the curtain and poked out his small face. Looking at the figure of the scholar who was getting far away, his eyes were wet and he shouted outside the city gate:

"Mr. Lu—"

"Mr. Lu, can we meet again in the future?!"

The childish voice went away to the streets of the city and disappeared behind the intertwined pedestrians. Lu Liangsheng was also full of emotions, and he took the old donkey and snapped his fingers.

"Go, go into the city."

Sun Yingxian put his hands on the back of his head and walked leisurely beside him, looking at the direction where the carriage had disappeared.

"Do you think I have a chance? But that kid seems to like you very much..."

"If it's because of the child, that woman also likes you...Hey, Lao Lu, don't fight with me, you can't beat me!"

Lu Liangsheng flicked the mask hanging on the roadside stall, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "That's not certain, but you, there is definitely no hope."

"Hey... what do you mean?" Sun Yingxian stopped.

"Didn't you hear what He Jingqiu just said?"

Lu Liangsheng took the old donkey by the hand, patted the passerby on the shoulder with the other hand, and continued walking.

"She said, 'I can make new clothes for Jing'er'. This is a ladder for you, and she politely refused. On the other hand, she also told you that she is a woman with a husband, and her children are already this old."

The Taoist slapped his thigh: "But the Dao doesn't dislike it?!"

"I hate it! Forget it..." Lu Liangsheng didn't bother to explain to him why he was so smart, but he was reincarnated like a pervert when he fell into a woman's body.

The two were still talking while walking, and the further they walked, they found that the streets were getting deserted, and the leaves were everywhere, and there were occasional people passing by in a hurry.

I found an inn to stay in, and took the old donkey to the backyard for foster care. After opening two rooms, the two of them, a toad, fell on the bed together as if paralyzed.

Daoist Toad smelled the fragrance on the bedding, stretched his limbs, and let out a satisfied breath.

"Finally I can come out, this half month almost suffocated the old man."

Lu Liangsheng sat up and quickly hung the scroll on the wall, painting two pine tree branches and leaves swaying gently, on the swing, Nie Honglian looked over with a smile in the painting.

"The concubine is still comfortable, young master, young master, what more fun can I add to the painting?"

"How can I have time? I'll go out to eat later, and I'll think about it when I come back."

As soon as Lu Liangsheng talked about eating, one person and one toad on the bed sat up suddenly, then jumped out of bed, and straightened their collars.

"Ban Yue winds and sleeps in the open, I must have a good meal today."

Here, Lu Liangsheng took out the silver tael and looked at it. It was almost enough for them to live in the capital for a few months. He informed Hong Lian, and then he took the Taoist and helped the master down the stairs to the hall.

There are not many people in the dining place on the first floor, which is much better than the bleak scene outside, but there are only a few tables of people eating and drinking.

"This way, two guest officers, please sit down quickly."

The shop guy diligently greeted the two who came downstairs, and quickly wiped the table with the rag on his shoulder.

"What kind of dishes are you two going to serve? In our shop, there are basically things that fly in the sky, things that run on the ground, and things that swim in the water, as long as the guest officer thinks."

At the other tables, the smell of the food made the Taoist swallow his saliva, and he patted the table: "Well, first, give me a dragon."

"Okay...well...huh?"

The guy just woke up and yelled loudly. After listening to the Taoist's words, he suppressed his voice abruptly, turned back and twisted the rag in his hand.

"Objectively, aren't you entertaining me? If there is such a thing in our store, let alone sell it, I guess my head has already moved."

Lu Liangsheng was amused by the Taoist's words and interrupted.

"This Taoist is insane. Just ignore him, and just order the dishes that customers often order in your restaurant, plus some rice."

As if he had been pardoned, the man fled to the back kitchen with a rag in his hand to report the names of the dishes.

The two of them, together with Taoist Toad who was on the bench, really hadn't eaten or slept well during this period of time. Smelling the aroma of the food at the next table, for the first time, they couldn't help but have the idea of ​​urging the waiter.

At the same time, restaurants and teahouses are usually places where information gathers the most. Lu Liangsheng played with his chopsticks, trying to listen to what the diners at the tables around him were talking about, but for a long time, no one spoke.

Not long after, the guy who announced the name of the dish came out, and Lu Liangsheng called him in front of him and lowered his voice.

"I'd like to ask you something. When I first came to the capital, why did the more I walked in, the more desolate it became. People passing by around me were in a hurry, and no one in your shop spoke?"

The guy's face changed, he quickly shut his mouth, and walked away without looking back. After a long time, he came out, and there were several dishes piled on the tray.

"Guest officers, here are your pork ribs in vinegar sauce, lamb shank with moxibustion fire, hot and sour cabbage soup, big white steamed buns, and rice."

After ordering the dishes, he looked around and suddenly approached Lu Liangsheng.

"Young master, when you get here, don't talk about these things casually, and be careful not to be thrown into prison."

After leaving this sentence, he returned to the door with a rag on his back, and looked at the passers-by outside, but he was not in the mood to loudly invite customers in for dinner.

Lu Liangsheng frowned and thought, could it be related to those court monsters?

I can't figure out the joints for a while, but when I looked back, I saw the Taoist holding the bowl and kept dropping the chopsticks, sweeping across the table in a wind and cloud, the chopsticks bumped against the rice bowl, his cheeks were bulging, and he gulped. Chewing, mouth full of oil and water.

Taoist Toad poked Lu Liangsheng anxiously with his frog web.

"What are you doing in a daze, he's almost eaten up all the dishes, quickly grab a piece of meat for Teacher Wei, remember to make it fatty... Forget it, Teacher Wei will do it by himself."

Toad jumped from the stool, lay down on the table, and while no one was paying attention, quickly swung its long tongue and rolled a piece of fat and tender meat into its mouth.

Puffing his cheeks, he turned his head, looked at the apprentice in front of him, and muttered:

"Uh...uh...you just want to have a fart..."

He raised the spoon again, scooped up a spoonful of hot and sour soup and poured it down.

pause!

pause!

pause!

The soup flowed from the corner of Toad's mouth to the table, and after a while, he continued to lie down happily, and said, "...The old pedant told you to find him, so you can go and ask him later, and it's over?"

"I almost forgot about this... Thank you, Master, for reminding me."

Lu Liangsheng covered his forehead and laughed, picked up his chopsticks and joined the queue of grabbing food. At the door five or six steps away, the clerk slapped himself hard and stared at the table dumbfounded.
