Chapter 266: Going on the road
"Making a plague?" Li Huowang, who was about to leave, was instantly attracted by the chatting content of the two of them. He intuition told him that this might be what he was looking for.
Completely ignoring the Lu family class on the stage, Li Huowang hurriedly came to the two of them, one tall and one fat, waiting for them to continue talking.
However, what made Li Huowang anxious was that when he listened accidentally, the other party kept coming in a constant stream, but when he was attentive to listen, the other party shut up and stopped talking.
Li Huowang thought for a while, then walked directly to the fat man and gently pressed his shoulder with his arm. "This friend, how come he was having a plague? I haven't heard of it before."
The fat man who was concentrating on listening to the fan show on the stage, was asked by Li Huowang, and his face was filled with displeasure. "What's wrong with you? Who are you---"
When the fat man saw the two pieces of silver handed over by Li Huowang, his eyes suddenly became straight. He swallowed the words he said without hesitation.
"Please tell me, my uncle is in Pi County. When I heard that there was a plague there, I was really anxious, so I was so reckless."
Don't worry about whether the other party believed the lies made by Li Huowang, at least for the sake of Yinzi, he seemed very helpful.
"Hey, brother, you have already told me about this, what should I do?" A fat hand hidden in his cuff reached over and took the two pieces of broken silver.
"Don't worry, your mother-in-law is fine, there is no plague in Pixian County. They are all alive." Speaking of this, the fat man wearing a watermelon hat paused slightly.
"But, Gelanger, if you really have a kiss with your uncle, it's better to pick him up from Pi County, because the feng shui is not good." As he said this, his voice subconsciously lowered a little, as if he was afraid of being heard by something.
"I tell you, the last time I went there to do business, I found that the people living there were nervous and had bad expressions. No wonder they were told that Pixian had a plague, and that expression was even worse than that of the middle plague."
"The people in the entire county are so nervous and have a bad expression?" Li Huowang, who was standing there, thought carefully and asked again: "Then, is there anything other ordinary things in that county?"
Although nothing happened in this world, it is still impossible to tell what the people in Pixian had encountered just these two points.
"I don't know this. I just passed by there and went back in a while. If I'm really worried, then you can go to Pixian County to check it out. Anyway, it's only ten days away, and nothing is wrong. Look, I'll come back?"
"After ten days?" Li Huowang thought for a while, then turned around and walked towards the inn.
When Bai Lingmiao's map spread out in front of Li Huowang, Li Huowang quickly found the location of Pi County and happened to be on the same road as Niu Xinshan.
After thinking carefully for a while, Li Huowang finally decided to go there to see. People in a county town became weird and they couldn't even look at things. The probability of meeting the Jiantiansi by himself was very high.
And this is my only choice now. Even if I don’t even have an alternative.
At this moment, Lu Xiucai rushed in from outside the house excitedly, and Li Huowang looked up and said to him, "Go and tell your father. Don't act after acting today's play. We will continue to rush tomorrow."
Holding a copper coin, Lu Xiucai nodded repeatedly and turned around and rushed outside.
The others had long been accustomed to Li Huowang's sudden departure, so they prepared the ox cart and the newly purchased carriage and put all the things they wanted to use.
They were too lazy to ask where Li Huowang was going and what he was going to do, or they didn't dare to ask, as long as they kept following him.
If there is any change from before this time, it is that the Lu Family Ban, who has been depressed, has changed his face in this way. Everyone's face is blushed, and his spirit has returned after being hit by his colleagues before.
"Hehehe~ Master Xiaodao, Master Xiaodao~ We agreed before that this is your portion, but mine." The happy Lu Zhuangyuan reached out and handed some copper coins mixed with broken silver to Li Huowang.
Li Huowang looked at Lu Zhuangyuan who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, "What? Have you got so much money reward?"
He knew that in the past, the Lu family sang like that, but there was no such reward.
"Haha, after all, this is a big beam. Those people have money, all they have money~" Lu Zhuangyuan said with a smile, putting the copper coins and silver in his hand on the ox cart.
Seeing that Li Huowang did not refuse, Zhao Wu, who was driving the car, took out a thick thread and stringed these scattered copper coins one by one.
·
Of course, Li Huowang did not refuse. Although these money was not much, they were flowing for a long time, so as not to waste time on these daily trivial matters from time to time.
And at least with this money, everyone else can eat better. "Eat some good food tonight, take out the bacon, and make a bacon stewed rice."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear sound of swallowing saliva came to Li Huowong's ears. Logically speaking, after eating so much meat on the Qingqiu grassland, he would not be so greedy.
"Whose voice is this? Didn't you eat today?" Li Huowang turned his head, but found that the man was not his own, but a white-haired and thin-body maike. A simple-looking boy was followed by him.
As if he felt the other person looking at him, the old maike pretended to be careless and looked at the rice fields that had been harvested on the other side.
"Gugu~" the sound of my stomach sounded, and the old Maike held the shoulder pole and put down his hands, grabbed his trouser rope from left to right, and tightened it a little tighter.
Li Huowang looked at their worn patched clothes and turned around and continued to drive his way.
Along the way, except for the dog's mouth, no one else spoke.
When the day was west, the wheels of the ox cart stopped slowly. As usual, everyone began to divide the work and cook supper.
"Senior Brother Li, look! There is a mother-in-law Ding on the roadside. Make a wild vegetable soup, which can be used to relieve the greasy bacon!"
Li Huowang, who was looking at the map, didn't hear it at all. Who said this?
His attention is now focused on the map. God knows whether the ratio of this map is right. If he goes wrong, he will waste several more days of travel.
Dinner was soon ready. Today's supper was braised bacon rice with wild vegetable soup.
Looking at the big bowl of greasy rice in front of him and the red and white bacon between the rice, Li Huowang looked up at the two maikes squatting in the distance.
They were swallowing the raw cold water they had just scooped out of the stream with the mixed grains and steamed buns they took out of their bags.
The wheat-climbing eyes stared at the rice in Li Huowang's hand, but the old wheat-climbinger was quickly pressed down again.
"Go and make two bowls of rice and send it to them." Li Huowang said to Bai Lingmiao beside him.
