Chapter 11 Baimai Gutong meets a master(1/2)
At night, four figures were walking in the dark by the Xiliang River.
"Zhantang, if you support me, I'm really tired."
The shopkeeper leaned on Lao Bai who was beside him and said weakly.
At this moment, she didn't care about men and women's tutoring and kissing each other. She was so tired that she was dying of exhaustion.
The road she walked in one day today was more than she had walked in the past year.
First, we went from Qixia Town to Feilong Valley, then from Feilong Valley to Heifengling, then Zuojiazhuang, Shibalipu, Baishiqiao, and finally Xiliang River.
Although they ride horses most of the time, even an iron man can't stand it after riding for so long.
Everyone looked at the shopkeeper's embarrassing appearance, not only did they look down on him, but they also felt a little admired.
Today, let alone the shopkeeper who has never practiced martial arts.
Even those who practice martial arts feel that their bodies are almost broken.
But the young lady of the shopkeeper insisted on following them.
Moreover, the shopkeeper's face along the way also made them look at him with admiration.
Almost every time I go to a place, the shopkeeper comes first and explains it to others before Xiao Guo and the others apologize and compensate.
It can be said that the shopkeeper who contributed the most today was the shopkeeper. The many victims were so easily forgiven by Zhanggui Tong for his sake.
Looking at the shopkeeper's tired look, Lao Bai also blamed him with some distress.
"You said you just walked back to Qixia Town from Feilong Valley to save so much money. Is that true?"
As soon as he heard Lao Bai's words, the shopkeeper who was so tired that he felt so tired that he was instantly angry.
"So little silver? I'll have to take ten taels from Feilong Valley to Qixia Town. You might as well kill me." The shopkeeper said with a serious face.
Lao Bai shook his head helplessly as he heard the shopkeeper's words. The shopkeeper's everything is good, but he is too locked in the door.
Xiao Guo and the others were listening, not knowing how to speak out.
In fact, the travel expenses along the way should have been paid by them, but now they are empty-handed.
There was only a few taels of money left for home in the package.
In fact, some of the victims in front of them today are okay. People like Doctor Xue, Miss Zhao, Xiaomi and others have only paid less than 100 taels of silver in total.
But they had chiseled Uncle Ge San's ship before. Uncle Ge San's ship was not an ordinary boat, but a mastled sailboat.
In order to compensate Ge San Uncle Ge’s new ship, they spent more than 200 taels of silver.
By this rough calculation, Xiao Guo and the others lost more than 300 taels of silver today.
Thinking back then, when the shopkeeper acquired Tongfu Inn, it was only this price.
After paying the 300 taels of silver, Xiao Guo and the others were already in short supply.
Now it is only enough to get home. As for Zhanggui Tong’s losses, Zhanggui Tong has not yet calculated it with them.
"Shopkeeper Tong, your great kindness, Xiao Guo is unforgettable. When Xiaoqing returns home, I will ask her to send the money immediately." Xiao Guo thanked him with his fists.
"Miss, you..." Xiaoqing was a little puzzled when she heard Xiao Guo's words. What did she mean after she went home?
Xiao Guo looked at Xiaoqing's puzzled expression and explained with a smile.
"If we just left like this, it would be too unfair to talk about morality."
"And I haven't figured out some things. I want to stay here first and think about it. When you get home, you will send someone to send the money."
"Also, tell my parents, tell them that everything is fine here, so that they don't have to worry about it. When I think it through, I will naturally go home."
At this moment, Xiao Guo gave people a feeling of growing up.
"I understand, Miss!" Looking at her lady's appearance, Xiaoqing nodded as well. She felt that something had changed at this moment.
Lao Bai and the shopkeeper just smiled when they heard Xiao Guo say this, and did not say anything.
And at this moment, two balls of lights suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Who?" Only a familiar shout was heard.
"Old Xing!"
"Old Xing!"
The shopkeeper and Lao Bai heard the familiar voice and quickly called out happily.
"Shopkeeper Tong! Lao Bai!" Old Xing and Xiao Liu were also the master who heard the voice. The two groups of people who separated in the morning got together again.
By the way, the reason why Zhanggui Tong and the others appeared here was because they wanted to apologize to Uncle Ge San, and why did Xiao Liu and the others appear here?
It turned out that Xiao Liu was accompanying Lao Xing to Xijie, and suddenly wanted to see what the legendary Xiliang River looked like, so he asked Lao Xing to take him to see it.
After seeing this, Xiao Liu realized why Lao Bai said that since Uncle Ge San's ship sank, if you want to cross the river, you will have to walk fifty miles more than you want.
This Xiliang River is not an ordinary small river. It is the largest river west of Qixia Town. It flows into the Yellow River from southwest to northeast.
The Xiliang River bank is wide. If there is no ferry, you must go to a narrower place on the upper river bank before there will be a bridge for you to walk over.
At this time, the two groups collided again, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
The shopkeeper and the others could naturally go home better with Xiaoliu's lights. Xiaoliu and the others were going to have dinner at Tongfu Inn.
The shopkeeper and Lao Bai couldn't help but smile when they looked at Xiao Liu's brand new outfit.
"Oh, Xiaoliu, how about it? How do you feel like being a constable?"
Listening to Zhanggui Tong's words, Xiaoliu nodded with a smile.
"Well, it's very good. From now on, I will protect the town so the people are safe, including you, of course."
"So please give me more advice from now on, Constable Yan." The shopkeeper, Xiao Guo and others also congratulated him.
Even Lao Bai and Xiaoqing were happy for Xiaoliu.
"Okay, okay, don't say it. Xiaoliu is officially a constable today. Let's go back to the inn and let Dazui make a table of delicious food to celebrate." Old Xing said quickly.
"More than that, Miss Guo's affairs were solved perfectly today." Zhanggui Tong also spoke from the side.
"Is that so? That's really a double happiness, and it's even more about celebrating." Captain Xing laughed and could have a meal again.
And I didn't expect that the matter that Magistrate Lou was told was done like this. The male and female evil spirits that had troubled him for more than half a year were finally resolved, and he could feel at ease again.
Old Xing looked at Xiao Liu and couldn't help but remember what Magistrate Lou said. This is a lucky person. This is so accurate. Xiao Liu is really his lucky star!
看到今天双喜临门,众人连忙欢喜的一同回了同福客栈.
Seeing everyone's happy appearance, Xiaoqing, who was worried that his lady would stay alone, also smiled.
Although she didn't spend a long time together, she could see that these were all a group of good people.
Everyone talked and laughed along the way, sharing their own experiences today.
Among them, there was the incident of Xiao Liu's test of the sword to see County Magistrate Lou, and the embarrassing incident of the shopkeeper taking the lead but running out the wrong way.
This road was a long one, but it seemed a little unfulfilled in the laughter of the crowd.
After walking for an hour, everyone finally returned to the gate of Tongfu Inn.
Looking at the four big words on the plaque at the door, the shopkeeper also said happily.
"I finally got home." She was so exhausted after walking for a day today.
And in the inn, the broken door has also been repaired.
The scholar, big mouth and Xiao Bei were sitting in the lobby waiting for the shopkeeper. When they saw the shopkeeper and the others coming back, everyone hurried out happily.
‘I can finally eat, but they starve to death.’
The shopkeeper looked at the guy who was running towards her happily and nodded happily. She didn't expect that she was so important in their hearts.
"Sister-in-law!" Xiaobei rushed into the arms of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper smiled and touched the shopkeeper's head, then the shopkeeper looked at the brand new door and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, it's good, it's good. Big Mouth, let's forget about what happened last night, don't be lazy next time."
"I know the shopkeeper, thank you." Hearing that the shopkeeper was not punished, Dazui quickly responded happily.
"Okay, everyone, Xiao Liu officially became a constable today. In addition, Miss Guo's affairs have been resolved and the gate has been repaired. It can be said that three happy days are coming, and Dazui made a delicious celebration today."
"Okay!" Big Mouth responded quickly.
Everyone was also very happy, their stomachs were already hungry.
Everyone had a happy dinner. The male and female evil spirits that had troubled them for half a year were solved, and they also met three new friends. The meal was quite a bit like the Zhongyitang of Liangshan.
......
Nothing to say at night!
The next morning, Xiao Liu put on his official uniform, took his official knife, carried his luggage, and talked to Zhanggui Tong and others before walking towards the county government.
He is going to move to the county government today.
In fact, the constable did not force the residency to live in the county yard. Because the constable and the yamen runners are different, the yamen runners must have someone to live in the yamen, which is not only to be able to listen to them at any time, but also to protect the safety of the county magistrate and the yamen.
