Stage [Republic of China]

Nine, go straight to the mule cart and tell the driver.

Shui Jiu snorted coldly through his nostrils.

Xu Jishan seemed to be deaf too, with her long legs straddling the railing of the car, she raised her head and waved to Shui Jiu who was still standing in front of Xu's house, and said warmly, "Hurry up, let's go together."

When he first came out, because he was afraid that Shui Jiu would be interrogated when he went out of the city, Qin Ershao's fly buzzed after him, so Xu Jishan specially asked some maids to change Shui Jiu's eyebrows a little.Shui Jiu knew these pinks and inks at first, but with a few strokes, her long eyebrows immediately turned into thick, short and messy eyebrows, and the narrow, long and upward eye ends were changed a little, and she immediately looked very mediocre.Shui Jiu was still worried, and changed the iconic cherry lips, so now Shui Jiu looks like a middle-class shopkeeper of a business.

Xu Jishan looked at Shui Jiu who had changed her brows and eyes, and thought for a moment, and thought, Grandpa said that she is very beautiful with three parts of her eyebrows and seven parts of her eyes, which is really good!The lips have changed, but it doesn't really matter, it's just a pity that this person's natural pair of brows and eyes are full.

To be on the safe side, Shui Jiu put on a wide-brimmed hat when she went out today.At this time, Shui Jiu raised her hand and pressed the wide-brimmed black hat to her eyebrows again, and responded in a low voice. "Um."

Walking to the mule cart, just as he was about to pass Xu Jishan towards the mule cart behind him, Xu Jishan grabbed his arm suddenly.

"Take this car," Xu Jishan said with a low smile, "I will ride with Boss Shui."

Shui Jiu couldn't help but raised her eyelids angrily, and glared at Xu Jishan viciously.Although her brows and eyebrows have been changed, Shui Jiu raised her eyes, and the two eyes are still clear.

Xu Jishan looked at him, couldn't help but shivered, and laughed. "What are you afraid of? I don't really eat you."

When Xu Jishan spoke, she got very close, almost to the side of Shui Jiu's ear, and her hot breath sprayed on Shui Jiu's long, cold, white neck.

Rubbing for a while, Shui Jiu blushed.

Shui Jiu hesitated for a moment. It stands to reason that people have to bow their heads under the low eaves. What's more, he grew up in an opera troupe when he was a child. It must be answered.But looking at Xu Jishan's handsome face with high nose and deep eyes, his brain twitched for some reason, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He coldly brushed off Xu Jishan's hand, and quietly declined. "Don't dare to bother Mr. Xu, Shui should sit in the mule cart behind."

Xu Jishan smiled, but she didn't force him in front of so many people, she just watched Shui Jiu get into the mule cart behind her.

Xu Jishan's eyes fell on Shui Jiu's back, it was hot.Away from many people, Shui Jiu still felt flushed, couldn't help clenched his fist against his lips and coughed a few times, just got into the car, and pulled down the curtain with a slap.

Xu Jishan laughed in a low voice.

After the two of them sat down, the drivers got into the set carts, and the six mule carts went leisurely along the base of the city wall.When we arrived at the city wall in northern Hebei, the city gate was almost closed, and the soldiers guarding the city yelled impatiently. "Whose caravan? How dare you leave the city at this point!"

Xu Jishan nodded slightly, and then a waiter walked up, lowered his head and muttered something to the soldier, and clasped his palms calmly and gave the soldier a purse.The soldier weighed it up, and his face suddenly turned cloudy.

Shui Jiu raised the curtain of the car, frowning slightly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldier waved his hand and let him go.Six mule carts walked out of Jibei City in the last rays of the setting sun.

After leaving the city, he took a section of the official road, and then turned into Tupozi Road. The mule cart swayed and the journey was very bumpy.Shui Jiu couldn't remember the time of day, she just felt that she squinted her eyes and took a nap, and when she opened her eyes again, the sky was full of stars.

The shop assistant came in, carefully shook his arm, and said to him: "Boss Shui, the owner in front calls you to have dinner together."

"...have dinner again?"

Shui Jiu frowned slightly with her long eyebrows, and her clear eyes were still sleepy.

"That's not it!" The guy smiled apologetically, and looked at Shui Jiu cautiously with a little curiosity.But he only dared to take a glance, and quickly lowered his eyebrows, saying: "My boss ordered so. Boss Shui, why don't you go?"

Although it is a question, anyone can tell that the guy looks down on him and treats him like an entertainer.

Shui Jiu clenched her fists in secret, and closed her eyes in the light of the lantern.Of course, the condescending tone of the shop assistant made him very uncomfortable, but he has been low-key and small all these years, and he has long been accustomed to the winks of these servants.

A few seconds later, Shui Jiu slowly opened her eyes, her water chestnut lips curled up slightly, and she let out a not-so-obvious snort.

"Boss Shui?" The man came to urge him again with a lantern.

Shui Jiu put her hand on the railing of the car and was about to stand up when suddenly there seemed to be a whistling sound ahead.The howling sounds quickly joined together, and a large number of figures whizzed towards them under the moonlight.

"Not good, I'm afraid there are thieves coming to rob!"

The shop assistant ignored Shui Jiu in desperation, and quickly jumped out of the car in panic.

Shui Jiu half leaned out, but before he could yell out, he was thrown back by the mule.

Shui Jiu regretted that she shouldn't be angry with Xu Jishan when she left the city, and chose to sit alone in the caravan's second mule cart, which was a black mule with tender teeth, obviously not as strong as Xu Jishan's mule.As soon as the whistling sound came out, the black mule was startled. At this moment, its front hooves were raised high, and it raised its head and hissed.The old coachman raised his whip and yelled, and firmly tightened the bridle with his right hand. Unexpectedly, the black mule was taken aback, and he pulled the mule cart and rushed forward uneasily.

"Stop, stop!"

The man pulling the cart had just jumped out of the cart, and when he turned his head and saw the mule running towards the southwest with Shui Jiu, he immediately panicked and followed behind at the top of his lungs.

Just now, he bumped back into the carriage and hit Shui Jiu's forehead, and he covered his forehead and frowned.

The black-flowered mule went crazy, and even the old coachman, who had been driving carts for a living all year round, couldn't control the cart.The old coachman was knocked half of his body out of the car fence, shouting until his throat was filled with blood, and kept saying to him: "Boss Shui, hurry up! Jump out of the car!"

Before the words were finished, the old coachman jumped off by himself, leaving Shui Jiu sitting empty on the mule cart, at a loss.

A few seconds later, with a bang, the mule cart hit a big tree.The mule took the opportunity to break free, and ran away with all four hooves.Shui Jiu fell off the mule cart and rolled five or six times in a row before he was able to stop. Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts before. This fall did not cause him to fall badly, but he got up Feeling more and more pain in the forehead.

Shui Jiu raised her hand to cover her forehead, and found that there was indeed a big bump swollen there, and it seemed that a layer of oily skin had been scratched.When the finger was put down, the dark red blood stained the fingertip.

Gradually in the woods, the sky also dimmed, which is really bad.

10, 10

◎"Come with me"◎

Shui Jiu knew clearly that he had to control the rhythm so as not to panic, but his heart was beating violently.He hadn't left Jibei City alone for many years, and it was the first time in his life that he rolled down from the mule cart in such a state of embarrassment.

"Ah, could it be Brother Ah Jiu?" A hesitant male voice suddenly came from not far away.

Shui Jiu followed the voice, and saw a man with black pot gray on his face and a low hat brim walking towards him against the light.

"...Who are you?" Shui Jiu was more hesitant than the man.

The man immediately heard his voice, but immediately smiled happily: "It really is Brother Ah Jiu."

As the man spoke, he rushed towards Shui Jiu and wanted to give Shui Jiu a bear hug, but Shui Jiu avoided it a bit, and just about to push the man away, the man said, "It's me, Shui Sheng."

Shui Sheng, whose baby name is Ah Shui, is the son of Grandma Ning who grew up in the same courtyard as Shui Jiu.Since he joined the Jiangnan Rebel Army, he changed his serious name, and now he is called Ning Jimin.

"Why are you here?" Shui Jiu asked him.

"Ah, it's nothing. The rebel army has almost reached the outside of Jibei City, but there is a moat in Jibei, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, our team is running out of ammunition." Ning Jimin laughed, and put Shui Jiu Let go, scratched his head in embarrassment, and added, "No, there is really no way, I have to get a few mules first."

"What do you want a mule for?"

"Pull the goods," Ning Jimin said as a matter of course, "Shouldn't we have mules to pull our guns and ammunition?"

Shui Jiu pursed her lips and said to herself, it turned out that the Jiangnan rebels that Ning Jimin went to were no different from the bandits.

Ning Jimin probably also realized that this sentence was inappropriate, paused, and then said, "It's not that he deliberately wanted to rob his house, it's just that when these mules left the city, they used the slogan of the second young master of the Qin family. Isn’t the second youngest of the family the brother-in-law of the Daotai family? It’s nothing to rob him.”

Shui Jiu was silent.

But Ning Jimin had already patted him on the shoulder happily, and said with a smile, "If you hadn't spoken just now, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you. I haven't seen you for a few years, how do you look..."

Ning Jimin looked him up and down, and suddenly lowered his voice very softly. "Brother Ah Jiu, do you look... uglier?"

Shui Jiu couldn't help but laugh, and didn't explain that her family's features had been remodeled.He just said indifferently, "Before you asked me to find out the details of the second young master of the Qin family, but unfortunately, you never found out his real details, but almost turned my family into it. I am really ashamed of the entrustment!"

Ning Jimin let out an ah at first, and then said with a big smile: "It's okay, I didn't intend to assassinate him originally."

The one Jiangnan Rebels wanted to assassinate was naturally Daotai.

Shui Jiu was silent again.

"Speaking of which, why are you on this group of caravan mule carts?" Ning Jimin continued to scratch his head in embarrassment. "Just
