Chapter 178 Like a friend(1/2)
As the twelfth lunar month is approaching, the lotus seeds used for New Year’s goods will naturally be delivered to the place as soon as possible.
Li Sangrou and his party set off at dawn and stopped until dark. In just three or four days, they arrived outside Jiangling City.
The four gates of Jiangling City only opened the south gate, entering and exiting, and checking them very strictly.
The dark horse took the Lu Yin from Matou Town, spoke authentic Matou Town dialect, and with a timid little wife, the four servants were foolish countrymen at first glance. Everything was strange, and they could see that they were stunned and their eyes were stunned. They were half open, and their saliva was almost dripping.
The lotus seeds in Matou Town are indispensable New Year’s goods for people in Jiangling City. Every year, there are many small merchants selling lotus seeds in Matou Town.
There was really nothing to be suspicious about. The young commander who was guarding the gate patted a few sacks containing lotus seeds and waved to let go.
This time, the dark horse came to sell lotus seeds. When he went back, he brought a few buckets of wine to earn some money for the New Year. He went to Jiangling City, found a residence and settled his young wife. It happened to be time for dinner. After dinner, the dark horse went straight to the north and south goods business.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and lotus seeds are a shortage. The dark horse arrived in the business. Not long after, they sold lotus seeds and took four fools and four mules to the wine shop to see the wine and buy wine.
Li Sangrou entered the room of the residence, then jumped out of the back window, tidied up, carrying a bamboo basket, covered with a piece of indigo coarse cloth, dressed in a picture of a young wife visiting relatives, and walked straight to the south gate.
After seeing the south gate, I turned around and headed towards the west gate, passed through Jiangling City from the west gate, and went straight to the east gate.
Jiangling City is not big. When it was almost dark, Li Sangrou walked half of the city and felt a general idea.
When the dark horse came back, Zhang Zhangyang had dinner, returned to the room, and tried to make water and tea again. Before the guy rolled his eyes, he finally calmed down.
The dark horse listened to the door, then to the walls on both sides, and then to the left and right walls. He breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and leaned over to Li Sangrou, and said in a pressing voice: "I'm looking at the wine, bargain, the barrel is so high, a barrel of wooden barrel, one hundred kilograms per barrel. Why do you want a wooden barrel and pretend to be someone?"
"Well, when can I get the wine?" Li Sangrou listened at the movements around her.
"Ah? Really pretending to be a human being? It's OK today. It's OK when it's ready. I mean to go again tomorrow. When will we want it?" The dark horse's eyebrows flew up in surprise.
I really have to pretend to be someone!
Li Sangrou's eyelids drooped slightly and she didn't answer.
No matter how strong their four-strong mules are, they can't carry two hundred kilograms of kilograms of one mule. No matter how light a man is, he must have one hundred 20 to 30 kilograms. One hundred and sixty to 70 kilograms are ordinary, but it is much heavier than a barrel of wine.
"Is there a bigger bucket?" Li Sangrou asked softly.
"Yes, there is a barrel of 160 kilograms. The wine is very different, the worst wine.
A 100-pound barrel, our mule, two mules are just right... If you pretend to be a human, it will not work. A person can only have more than one hundred pounds, and it is not as light as the other, but it is not as heavy as the other.
I want one hundred and sixty kilograms per barrel? Put it on a mule? One mule is one bucket, that's fine." The dark horse quickly understood what Li Sangrou meant.
"Well, it's only one hundred and sixty kilograms, put it on a mule. I'll buy the wine tomorrow and put it here first." Li Sangrou thought about it again and ordered.
"Okay." The dark horse agreed happily.
The next day, I had breakfast no matter how early or late, and the black horse took Xiao Luzi and Zhatiao to buy wine, while Datou and the grasshopper followed Li Sangrou and carried the basket to buy.
Li Sangrou brought Datou and Grasshopper to buy it from Nancheng and from Dongcheng to Xicheng. She spent the whole day shopping. In the evening, Datou and Grasshopper carried two big baskets of things and sent it to the room.
"What is this?" Heima carried two baskets of his back. It was not heavy. He then reached out and took it out, "Silk cotton? Have you found someone?"
"No, let them find us.
After breakfast tomorrow, we will set off. You can find an excuse to go around the East City. The guardian yamen is at the east city gate. The Fuxue School is on the way to the east city to the south city. It is a secluded place, right there.
The gate of the Mansion College has opened, and a stone is pressed inside, so it can be pushed open with a little force.
After breakfast, you will take Xiao Luzi and Zhadow, first lead the four mules in, find a place to hide and wait.
Go to bed early, and you will be busy all day tomorrow." Li Sangrou gave a low order and went to bed with her clothes.
………………………………………
The next morning, Xiao Luzi and Grasshopper had dinner early, led the mule out, and were busy racking the wine barrels, tied them up, and prepared to set off.
The dark horse sat in the lobby of the residence, slapped the table from time to time while slapped the table, and scolded loudly in anger: "You prodigal girls! Do you buy so many broken things? You can't take them, but you dare to leave them outside! You have gained skills, right?
Prodigal girls! I worked hard to make money, you prodigal girls! Where did you put the things? Ah?
I have to go around and get things for you!
You prodigal girls! I'm so angry!"
The dark horse was swearing while eating. Li Sangrou shrank her shoulders, her head was lowered and almost hit the table. She kept eating meat buns and drinking lotus seed porridge.
The shopkeeper of the diner leaned against the counter and watched the fun with relish.
This young wife is interesting and she won't delay her meal when scolded. Well, the food is quite delicious.
Look at this big black man, no matter how much he scolded, he couldn't bear to slap the table, and he didn't dare to slap the slap the table. Besides, he brought his wife to Jiangling City, just to let his young wife buy things. If he really didn't want her to buy it, he wouldn't bring her here.
This young couple is in love. Tsk, this couple has their own way of living.
The shopkeeper watched the excitement with relish. While checking out with Heima, he persuaded Heima perfunctorily and enthusiastically sent Heima to the door of the didian. He watched the group not go to the south gate but head to the east gate. He stood at the door of the didian, smiled for a while before turning around and entering.
Turning around a street, taking a big step, joining the crowd, walking a few steps, diving into an alley, jogging all the way, heading straight to the yamen of the Dongcheng Guardian.
When he arrived outside the guard general's yamen, from the corners he had chosen yesterday, he drew the ghost talismans that Li Sangrou taught him to draw yesterday one by one in various corners, and painted them all the way to a small broken corner door behind the Mansion School. He pushed open the corner door and headed straight in.
Li Sangrou followed the dark horse through two streets and merged into the crowd. Not long after, the grasshopper also walked away in a slanted manner and followed Li Sangrou.
One by one, one by one, and one behind, passing through two alleys, Li Sangrou stood in front of a north-south goods shop facing the general's yamen, carefully carrying red dates and aiming at the general's yamen opposite.
The grasshopper squatted beside the wall and waited.
The first one to stop at the gate of the guard general's yamen, turned his body and ran towards the ghost talisman drawn by his head was a young lady who looked in her twenties.
Li Sangrou's eyebrows slightly raised, and she carried a bag of red dates and packed a tent, walked through the alley, and headed straight to the palace.
Li Sangrou rushed to the broken corner door of the Mansion School, and the corner door opened from the inside. Li Sangrou and the grasshopper rushed in one after another. Li Sangrou waved his hand to signal everyone to hide it.
Datou and the grasshoppers hurriedly retreated, plunged into the place they had already found, and held their breath and waited.
Li Sangrou stood inside the corner gate, took a few deep breaths, exhaled slowly, and breathed evenly, listening intently, waiting for the little lady to come.
Those ghost talismans were taught to her by Mi Xiaozi.
The day she took Dachang Heima and the others to grab Ye Xiangxing, Mi Xiaozi got drunk, cried and laughed to her, and mentioned his master's sect. Later, she tried every means to find extremely limited things to dig out of Mi Xiaozi's mouth.
When I dug out this ghost talisman, there was also a time when Mi Weiren got drunk and cried and laughed.
After Mi Xiaozi sobered up, he regretted it for a few days, and then he deceived himself: Although he was drunk at that time, his mind was still clear and his hands were shaking violently. He would definitely not draw a real talisman for her. The talisman he drew at that time was wrong, that was wrong!
At that time, Mi Xiaozi took the animation to her, and she drew it while crying, and asked her to remember it. If one day she couldn't find him, she would look around to find out if there was such a ghost talisman. If there was one, it would be that he was recalled to the master's sect and she would not have to avenge him.
This talisman is the symbol of their master summoning their fellow disciples to meet.
Outside the corner gate, there was a burst of rapid and light footsteps. As they approached quickly, Li Sangrou raised her hand and made a gesture, holding her breath and looking at the faintly hidden corner gate.
The young lady at the gate of the guard general pushed open the corner door, raised her foot and stepped over the threshold, and then stepped down the steps. Li Sangrou slashed the young lady's neck with a fierce palm, and kicked her to the ground with another kick.
Big Head guarding beside him, the grasshopper and Xiao Luzi rushed up, blocking the little lady's mouth first, and then tied it into a ball very neatly.
The little lady was already unconscious by Li Sangrou's palm, and it was very convenient to tie it up.
Big Head and the grasshopper carried the little lady and rushed into the empty room next to them. Then they ran back. Xiao Luzi was already lying on the ground, wiping the traces on the ground. The three of them hid each other again, ready to wait to tie up the second one.
In just half a moment, the sound of footsteps approached outside the corner gate.
The footsteps were steady and heavy, and they sounded like a strong man. Li Sangrou picked up the wooden stick wrapped in silk cotton that she had already placed next to her, slowly held it, and glanced at the corner door.
The corner door was pushed open again, and a strong man in his twenties stepped over the threshold.
Li Sangrou swung the cotton-padded wooden stick and hit the man on the head.
The man rushed forward neatly.
Big Head and grasshopper, Xiao Luzi rushed forward, blocked his mouth skillfully, tied it up, and carried it into the empty room.
Li Sangrou closed the corner door, adjusted her breathing and then waited for another quarter of an hour. If no one came, the two would be almost the same.
It took less than a quarter of an hour. This time, he was a gentle old man in his fifties. Li Sangrou was still stuck on his head with a stick, while Datou and the other three still gag and tied up people.
Li Sangrou took a step forward, took the rope from Datou's hand, Datou turned around and rushed out of the corner door, wiped the ghost talismans leading to the corner door, and then rushed back quickly.
In the empty room, dark horses and slings were pouring wine to the young man.
The wine from the three wine barrels next to it has been poured into the well.
Li Sangrou walked to the little lady, lowered her head and smelled it, her mouth full of alcohol. She didn't know how much the little lady was drinking, but fortunately there was medicine in the wine.
Mi Xiaozi's medicine has always been effective.
Li Sangrou pulled over a silk cotton quilt core, carried the little lady on it, untied the rope, and began to take off the little lady's clothes, took off the little lady naked, rolled it up with the silk cotton quilt core, tied a few ropes loosely, and stuffed the little lady into the wine barrel.
Next to him, the dark horse and Xiao Luzi and others filled the young man and the old man with wine, and they also took off their nakedness, wrapped it with a silk quilt core, stuffed it into the wine barrel, resealed the wine barrel, and put it on the mule.
Datou and Grasshopper first left and looked around, waved to indicate.
The dark horse and Xiao Luzi and a few others led the mule out of the palace and turned around the alley.
Little Luzi was four, each holding a mule. Li Sangrou had already wrapped her head and face again, and followed the dark horse with his eyebrows down. The dark horse carried his hands behind his back, and looked up at the front with a big shopkeeper's temperament. He walked straight to the south gate.
It was so tight that it was easier to go out. The dark horse and his group of people came to the city the day before yesterday, and today they sold large buckets of bad wine and left the city. There was no suspicious thing about the businessman.
They walked out two miles slowly, far away from the city, so far away from the city that they could no longer see. Several people speeded up their journey, drove the mule and ran away.
Before and after, the group came over the town where they settled in and rushed forward. When it was dark, they left the main road and entered a deserted temple.
The ruined temple hall was pretty good. Li Sangrou surrounded the ruined temple and looked around. Xiao Luzi held several large amounts of firewood and raised a pile of fire in the hall. The dark horses and several people carried four wine barrels into the hall.
Li Sangrou looked around and came back, squatted beside the fire, and put a big pot on it. Heima took out a clean water bag from the fourth wine barrel, poured half of the pot of water into the pot, scooped two bowls of rice and poured it in.
