Chapter 28 Uninvited guests
Suifeng swept his Taoist robe and fell to the ground. He kowtowed to Qian Yiqun and said, "Thank you, Brother Dao, for your enlightenment."
This was the first time Qian Yiqun was worshipped by someone. He was a little dizzy and quickly helped Suifeng up and said, "I know I have many bad habits, so I will ask Senior Brother Suifeng to give more tips in the future."
Suifeng smiled, stretched his eyebrows and said, "At this moment, it is a good time to meditate and work hard. I will take the lead."
"I want to go back too." Qian Yiqun remembered that he hadn't had lunch yet, but he was in a good mood and had no slightest chunk of his stomach, so he was not very hungry.
The two of them held hands and said goodbye. Qian Yiqun's feet were light and one person's tall low wall kicked up two or three feet, and ran straight towards the Sutra Pavilion.
Even after a night of noisy and harassment, the master still sat upright on the chair and copied the scriptures meticulously. How could he see a trace of being affected by external objects? Qian Yiqun stepped forward and kowtowed, washed his hands, and sat in his seat without saying anything, so he began to copy the scriptures.
After copying a few words, Qian Yiqun's intestines made a thunder sound. It turned out that he had been tossing for most of the day and had not had lunch. He was hungry. He closed the scriptures, packed up his pens and ink, and quietly kowtowed to his master and went out to find something to eat.
At this time, when the meal was in the vegetarian hall, I was lucky enough to have only some leftovers and cold dishes. Qian Yiqun thought about it, it would be better to go back to cook the pot of water, throw some wild vegetables, mix some batter, and pour some sesame oil... Thinking of the aroma of sesame oil, Qian Yiqun couldn't help but gush the saliva in his mouth, and his index finger moved. He first took a bamboo basket and walked deep into the jungle.
In late autumn, there are treasures everywhere in the mountains, just to see if you have the chance to know them. Qian Yiqun was originally a person who doesn’t know anything about grains. These days, he has also known the common wild vegetables on the mountain. He always picks them and throws them into the vegetables. It tastes fresh and refreshing. His mind is on the delicacies, and his stomach is not very hungry. When he emerges from the forest, the sun is already shallow and west. If he boils it, he can just eat supper.
Carrying a half-full basket, Qian Yiqun walked towards the hut dock. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the bamboo path, he saw someone sitting on a stone on the side of the road, holding five reins in his hand, supporting his elbows and knees, tilting his head and staring at the five horses with big eyes.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Qian Yiqun stepped forward and squatted beside the man and asked curiously.
The man didn't turn his head back, but he stared at the horse and said, "Can't you see it? I'm watching the horse!"
Qian Yiqun thought to himself: You are so hard-working to see this! People who don’t know even think that you are owed the forage and are blocked by the horse and watched.
"I just worked in the field, but there was actually nothing to do. Suddenly, five people came from the east and gave me ten copper coins to come with them to see the horses for them. I have never seen such a stupid person. Who would steal their horses on this mountain? I actually gave the money just to let me look at the horses. Although the horse's face is not very good-looking, since I have taken other people's money, I have to help them see the truth..."
Qian Yiqun didn't have the patience to listen to his long-winded words and interrupted: "Brother, do you know who they are looking for in there?"
"How could I know so much? But two of them are military masters, probably to catch some thieves. The other three were a little strange. Old scholars would rather say good things to younger people. They are really not old or young. But like me, I am not young, but I still have to farm for my nephew, and I have to say something he likes to hear..."
"Goodbye." Qian Yiqun stood up and walked towards the secluded path of the bamboo forest.
"Slow down!" The farmer who looked at the horse stood up, "Do you know what you pick in your basket?"
"I know." Qian Yiqun was stunned for a moment, flipped through his basket, and issued his names one by one, "Is there any problem?"
"Look at this, this, and this." The farmer walked over with the reins in his hand, picked out three small brown-yellow fruits from the basket, and said, "What do you know this?"
"I just watched it interesting and picked it down and played with it." Qian Yiqun shook his head. The fruit looked very funny. If he looked in front of him, he looked like a golden gourd and silver hammer. On a whim, he picked one handful, only two or three.
"This is Croton." The farmer said seriously, "Do you know Croton?"
"I just get diarrhea after taking it?" Qian Yiqun was stunned and thought to himself: This is the first time I have seen Badou, it turns out that it looks like this.
"I picked this croton in the medicine shop and went back. I had to dry it, cook it, fry it, and grind it into the powder before I could use it as medicine. Even the cruel doctor would only use one or two yuan. If you accidentally eat this fresh croton, it would be poisoned to death." The farmer said seriously.
Qian Yiqun looked at the farmer skeptically.
"Don't look at me like that." The farmer was straightforward. "There was a little girl in our village who went up the mountain to pick this croton. She didn't know anything and stuffed it into her mouth. This thing must be extremely spicy. She vomited it out as soon as she ate it. Even so, she still pulled water and pulled out the blood when she got home. In the end, she died." The farmer's face turned and said, "I advise you to throw it away quickly. Other dishes must be washed well before you can eat them. By the way, give me your cat's paws, you see I can't walk here..."
Qian Yiqun flashed and said, "I'm not enough to eat these. There are so many mountains behind you. Just pick them yourself."
"I took other people's money here and had to watch the horses for them. Why don't you understand? All the children in the village know..."
"Are you enough to lead the horses together?" Qian Yiqun interrupted directly.
"Hey, you are quite wise. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"I'll just go in and tell them." Qian Yiqun was confused when he heard this, and he was thinking about these five visitors. He heard that there were two military officials among the five, and there was also a middle-aged scholar who flattered young people. Perhaps Mr. Li came with the inspector's people. Maybe Chen Xiangming was also among them, so naturally someone would flatter him.
He said, "I'll go and say goodbye to you, talkative brother."
"My name is not Hualao, my name is Hua'an." The farmer looked confused, "I said why did you say so much to me? You recognized me as my cousin. Last year, he went to Hangzhou to be a book boy. He heard that he thought he was hard-working and didn't like the word "Lao", so he stole my name as "Hua'an". At most, it was just the same name. It really made no sense. Instead, I had to call it "Hua'ao"..."
Qian Yiqun had already penetrated into the path of the bamboo forest. The sky was shining, and a faint fragrance of the bamboo forest that penetrated into his lungs came to his nose. Not long after he walked away, the sky-blocking bamboo forest had completely swallowed up the voice of the chattering brother behind him.
Because Qian Yiqun did not expect his father to come in person because he had not seen the horse at home, but he still had a little luck in his heart, hoping that his father could see that he was safe and sound with his own eyes, and avoid worrying.
"Tell me quickly! Where did Qian Yiqun go!" A loud shout came from the valley of Maopuwu to the exit of the bamboo forest path.
This is the first sentence Qian Yiqun heard when he didn't leave the secluded path of the bamboo forest.
The voice was filled with a strong Hebei accent, with strong anger, so that the three words "Qian Yiqun" were pronounced as broken.
Qian Yiqun's feet stopped and he could feel two sharp gazes on his body. He walked out of the path, his face remained silent, and saw five men standing on the open space in front of the house, all of which had never been seen before. Among the five people, there seemed to be three groups, and two men in official uniforms stood at the outermost point, because there was no refill, and they could not see the grade. At this moment, they were looking at themselves with vigilance.
In the middle is a middle-aged scholar with a jade-like face, with a sword eyebrows slightly raised, and a deep man. If he was paired with a feather fan, he would have a bit of Zhuge Liang's style. Although the weather is a bit cold now, he would look more unique.
There were two young men, wearing silk and a Zhuangzi scarf, which looked quite similar, and looked like brothers. One of them held a sword in his hand, holding Qian Wei's throat, and the other one held Dai Shiming's sword in his hand, and also took a sack containing the bones of Wei Xiuniang's life.
"Squeeze the wings of Agu Lai Le's nest?" Qian Yiqun walked forward with a basket in his arms, deliberately said Su Bai quickly.
"Little brother, what were you talking about?" The older officer stood at the moment, as if standing tall on a peak, with domineering and mighty body, which made people suddenly look up to him.
Qian Yiqun thought to himself: What a general! It turns out that the domineering side leak is real!
"He is saying: Is the Qian family brother at home?" the middle-aged scholar stepped forward and translated, with a faint Changzhou accent in his accent.
"Ha!" The young officer was only weak, and his eyebrows were quite similar to the older man. He was more heroic and not as mature as he was. He laughed and said, "It turns out that people in Jiangnan called brother Gu. It would be fine if they were not of seniority, and they didn't even distinguish between men and women."
The older officer glanced at Qian Yiqun and said, "Are you a resident on this mountain?"
Qian Yiqun widened his eyes, pretending not to understand, and looked at the scholar. The scholar turned the Hebei Mandarin into Su Bai. Qian Yiqun said with a sudden enlightenment that he was a farmer at the foot of the mountain and came up to deliver wild vegetables to the "Brother Qian". He spoke a Suzhou dialect and deliberately increased the Wuxian accent, which was even harder to understand than ordinary Su Bai. Even the Suzhou people in Changzhou County were a little troublesome to listen.
"Mr. Ma, ask him if he knows about Qian Yiqun's murder." The older officer suddenly said.
The scholar was naturally the Mr. Xixi of Wen Guangzu, Ma Huaiyuan. He thought to himself: I really have such a question, what does this matter have to do with you? However, these four men worked hard, so he naturally did not dare to disobey his orders and immediately translated this sentence into Suzhou dialect.
Qian Yiqun laughed in his heart: You guys rushed up to cause trouble for me, but they didn’t even know what I looked like. It’s so ridiculous! The world is too big, and there are fools who can’t understand the “self-destruction and cannot survive” everywhere!
