Wu Ming rode out of town unhurriedly.The town is surrounded by water on three sides in the southeast and north, and only the west side is connected to the outside. When Wu Ming came all the way without stopping, he saw three people and three horses parked on the side of the road in front of the town entrance, as if they were waiting for something. Wu Ming looked over. His eyes flickered suddenly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it was fleeting.

Those three people were also looking in this direction. Seeing Wu Ming's figure, the one in the middle turned around and gave an order, and the three got on their horses one after another. When Wu Ming passed by, the man in the middle rode his horse to catch up and walked beside Wu Ming with a smile. , but not Shen Youhuai, who is it?

Wu Ming and Shen Youhuai rode side by side in front, and two men dressed as servants rode behind them.

The two attendants in the back each had two large parcels tied on their horses, and Shen Youhuai next to him had a smile on his face, and he was no longer dressed in the usual scholarly attire, but changed into a navy blue thin silk dress.Different from the elegant feeling when he was wearing Confucian shirts, Shen Youhuai looked handsome and energetic at this moment.

Seeing this, Wu Ming already knew the fool's intentions. He was depressed for a while, and just wanted to scold him, but when he thought of the two followers behind him, he bit his lip and said nothing.You can't deny Shen Youhuai face in front of the servants.

Shen Youhuai was originally in high spirits and full of things to say to Wu Ming, but finally realized that he had a bad attitude and did not dare to speak indiscriminately. He rode beside him silently, sneaking his eyes at Wu Ming from time to time, carefully observing his expression.

Wu Ming kept a straight face and did not pretend to speak. The four men and four riders did not say a word. They walked out of the town for more than three miles in the early morning light of late spring and early summer, then turned north, and boarded a relatively spacious official road.

Although Wu Ming was very unhappy about Shen Youhuai's self-assessment, after half a day, he felt that the muscles on his face were stiff, and seeing Shen Youhuai's cautious look, his heart softened.

Shen Youhuai noticed that the people next to him had a peaceful expression, and immediately regained their spirits, and said, "Are you tired after walking for a long time? Do you want to have something to rest for a while? I brought a lot of food, all of which you like..."

Wu Ming glanced at him, glanced at the two attendants behind him at a distance, lowered his voice and said coldly: "Are you here to visit the mountains and rivers? If you care so much about food and drink, I advise you to return It's better to go back early, it's not as good as being at home outside, it's common to eat and sleep in the open."

Shen Youhuai put a cold butt on his warm face, and suddenly fell silent.

After coming out of Wu Ming's room yesterday, after thinking about it, Shen Youhuai felt that he still couldn't rest assured that Wu Ming was wandering alone at such a young age. What's more, Wu Ming was his first real friend in his life, and it was rare that he hit it off so well. Thinking of the farewell, thousands of mountains and rivers, seeing each other forever, I was very sad, so I ignored the old housekeeper's strong opposition, and made up my mind to travel with Wu Ming. As for when I will come back, it can only be said later.

After making up his mind, he immediately prepared his bags and food until midnight, and came out early this morning to meet him at the entrance of the town.As for not explaining his decision to Wu Ming before, in addition to being afraid that he would oppose and dissuade him, he also had some expectation in his heart: If he suddenly saw my family and ran out with him, what would his reaction be?

But with his confident and optimistic nature, the reactions he can think of from his friends to his care and love are basically surprise, surprise, surprise, persuasion, touch and so on.It is impossible to think that Wu Ming didn't say anything good about his hard work, and even showed him his face for a long time, and even satirized him so coldly. Thinking about it, I feel really wronged, no matter how easy-going and tolerant he is, he finally I couldn't help it, and it showed on my face a little bit.

Wu Ming didn't squint, only the corner of his eye was enough to see his resentful face, a little funny in his heart, but his face remained the same.It's not that he really dislikes Shen Youhuai's company, nor is it that he doesn't know what to do and doesn't appreciate it, but in any case, Shen Youhuai is just a son of an official who stretches out his clothes for food and opens his mouth, and it's definitely not suitable for him to follow him through the rivers and lakes.He only hoped that his bad attitude would show some fool that he wasn't welcome, and it would be best if he turned around in anger.

However, although Shen Youhuai is very casual about ordinary things, once he decides to do something, he is unwavering and unwavering. Now that he has left the house, not to mention just looking at Wu Ming's face, it is Wu Ming holding a knife on him On the neck, he will never go back.

In the dead of night, there were occasional barks of dogs. The good people who behaved themselves had already fallen asleep at this time. The back door of the only small inn in the town, the Kezailai Inn, suddenly opened with a "ah", and walked out of the dark doorway. Two people, one of them is Wu Ming.

The inn clerk handed over the reins to Wu Ming, and still couldn't help but whispered, "Don't the guest wait until dawn before leaving? Why do you have to hurry now? It's not easy to walk on this dark road."

Wu Ming lowered his voice and said, "There is no way. Tomorrow, my friends will ask you to help inform them, and say that I am suddenly in a hurry to take a step ahead, and ask them to go back by themselves."

The guy responded repeatedly, and wanted to say something more, but Wu Ming didn't wait for him to speak, thanked him, got on his horse, raised his whip, and disappeared into the night with the sound of hooves.

The three of Shen Youhuai, master and servant, followed Wu Ming for two days. During these two days, Wu Ming had already noticed that someone was determined to follow him after eating the weight, so he didn't say anything else. Quietly leave the store at midnight tonight, and leave without saying goodbye.

"Why is that fool so stubborn." After a long journey, Wu Ming finally murmured to himself, slowing down the reins, thinking that he would not have a good rest after a day of running around, tired, dizzy, sore and backache, I really don't know What a crime!

Wu Ming sat on the horse back and was drowsy, when suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves coming from behind, he was startled, and suddenly felt a bad feeling, looking back under the dim moonlight, he could see a person at the end of the road behind him. The rider is running fast towards him.

Wu Ming turned around, raised his whip and lowered his hands, clamped his legs, and the horse under his seat neighed and galloped forward.The people behind were desperately chasing after them. The two rode one in front of the other and were separated by about fifteen feet, but they never opened the distance.

The sky gradually brightened, and the number of pedestrians and horses on the official road gradually increased. Wu Ming finally let go of the reins, and the people behind caught up in a blink of an eye.

Wu Ming glanced at him sideways, and said, "Why are you so pale? Didn't you rest well?"

Shen Youhuai glared at him with resentment, and said in a blunt tone: "I was made angry by someone!"

Wu Ming wanted to smile, but because he was so hungry and tired after traveling all night, the smile on his mouth disappeared before it was fully formed.Shen Youhuai was full of complaints, but after seeing Wu Ming's weak half smile, he forgot all about it. He carefully looked at him twice worriedly, and then looked back and forth on the road. There is no place, not even a place to rest and sharpen.

Facing the early summer sun, the two of them rode on horseback silently for a while, and Shen Youhuai finally couldn't help but suggested: "Let's get off the horse and rest on the side of the road for a while."

Wu Ming nodded, and the two got off their horses by the side of the road.

Shen Youhuai led two horses and followed Wu Ming into the woods by the roadside. Seeing Wu Ming's heavy footsteps, he casually found a tree and sat down on the ground with his back against the trunk. Fasten it.

Wu Ming said: "I brought some dry food in my bag, you can eat it."

Shen Youhuai reached out and took off the package from Wu Ming's horse, walked over and put it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged opposite Wu Ming, opened the package, took out two buns, and handed them to Wu Ming.Wu Ming shook his head, reached out and took out a leather bag from the burden, opened the lid on it and drank two sips of water.

Shen Youhuai ate a few mouthfuls of steamed stuffed buns, and inadvertently caught sight of Wu Ming's clothes and a few pieces of silver that were piled up in the bundle in front of him, and suddenly remembered something, and he froze for a moment.

Wu Ming followed his gaze, looked at him twice, and then looked back at where the horse was. He understood in his heart that his eyes that had been dim due to fatigue finally brightened again.

After Shen Youhuai was stunned for a long while, he said, "How much silver do you have?"

Wu Mingchao glanced at the burden, and said, "These are."

Shen Youhuai didn't care if it was his own money or not, he just picked up all the broken silver piece by piece, weighed it in his hand, probably in threes or fours, frowned and said: "Is that all you need? Is it all here?"

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I'm a poor man, and this is all I have to worry about."

Shen Youhuai couldn't help but shouted: "What is this enough for? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you don't have any money?"

Wu understood. He glanced at him and said: "Although there is not much money, saving a little money is enough for me to go to Shanxi alone. What are you telling me? Do you want you to give me some money because I have no money? Who do you think I am?" gone?"

Shen Youhuai glared at him angrily, and raised her voice: "What do you think of me? You don't tell me you don't have any money, what do you think of me? Do you still think I'm your brother? Huh?"

Wu Ming said lightly: "I don't know who has no money now."

Shen Youhuai was startled, and then said: "I left in such a hurry last night, I forgot to ask them for it."

Of course Wu Ming knew that the "they" in his mouth referred to his two followers.With the three masters and servants all the way to the present, the food and lodging are arranged by two followers. How can the uncle of the Shen family care about these small matters of money? It is estimated that all the money is spent on those two people. Chasing myself too much last night In a hurry, he forgot to bring some silver taels. Now this master is probably penniless, except for his appearance, he is no different from a beggar.

Wu Ming "kindly" reminded him: "Since you forgot, go back and get it. It's still early, so they probably haven't left the inn yet."

Shen Youhuai thought for a while and said, "Are you going back with me?"

Wu Ming smiled and said: "No. You go back, I will continue on my way."

With an expression that knew you were like this, Shen Youhuai snorted and said, "Then I won't answer either."

Hearing this, Wu Ming straightened his face, and said, "It's only a small amount of money in total, and I can forget about it by myself. If I take you with me, shall we beg for food all the way to Shanxi?"

Shen Youhuai remained silent for a while, and then said sullenly after a while: "Don't worry, I won't wrong you, I will find a way myself."

Wu Mingdao: "It sounds good! What can you do?" After a pause, he said again: "You are such a big man, don't you know that it is difficult to move without money? Could it be that you have never left the house? I advise you to It's better to go back sooner."

Shen Youhuai's face turned red and white after what he said, feeling ashamed and depressed at the same time.He is not an idiot, no matter what, he will not be ignorant of the importance of money. In fact, he heard a slight sound in his sleep last night, and suddenly felt uneasy. He got up and went to Wu Ming's room next door to check. Zhang ran down and happened to meet the inn clerk who was coming back after closing the door. After asking, he realized that Wu Ming had "escaped" away. In a hurry, he couldn't care about anything other than asking the direction Wu Ming left. It wasn't the person in front of him who caused it, but he was still gloating here and putting on a reprimanding tone. He really didn't know who was the culprit.

However, Shen Youhuai himself was also secretly reflecting in his heart. He knew that he really didn't have much concept of money. The main reason was that he seldom went out, and when he went out, he was always followed by the servants. Even if he sent them away, they would always be by his side before leaving. Stuff some silver taels in your purse...

Huh?Purse?

Shen Youhuai lowered his head fiercely and searched his waist with piercing eyes. When his eyes touched the small and delicate blue embroidered purse, he immediately threw away the remaining half of the bun in his hand, pulled it off, opened the tie and The palm of the hand was turned upside down, there was no silver in it, but four plum blossom-shaped very small and lovely gold pegs fell out, each about seven or eight coins.

Ha ha!It's really a road that never ends!Shen Youhuai smiled happily, the previous depression and unhappiness had long since been thrown into the clouds.

Wu Ming had actually discovered the purse on him a long time ago, but he only hoped that Shen Youhuai would stop following him and leave early, and of course he would not remind him. It's a pity that this idiot finally remembered it. When he glanced over, Wu Ming sneered coldly: "This purse is exquisitely made. It turns out that you can forget about wrapping around your silver taels, but you didn't forget to wear such a beautiful purse."

Now that Shen Youhuai has money in his hand, he is confident enough, he no longer cares about his sarcastic remarks, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "That's natural, I don't even want to let it go when I sleep, it's really a foresight." In fact Because Wu Ming has always been indifferent to him, he is always a little distracted, and he feels that the bedding in the country inn is not clean. Cruel.

However, if it weren't for this incident, he might never be able to catch up with Wu Ming again, and now he is offering a precious disk fee in a timely manner. Is there a more lovely purse than this in the world?Shen Youhuai secretly decided to use this timely rain pouch until it was worn out and not to replace it.

Wu Ming looked coldly at him staring at the purse with twinkling eyes, shook his head, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and ignored that fool again.
