Copper Coins Chapter 18: Blind Guazi (1)

This snow stopped and stopped for a full day and night. This has advantages and disadvantages for Xue Xian and Jiang Shining.

The good thing is that Jiang Shining is the main force in running errands and rushing. As soon as the day dawned, the vegetables were stopped.

The bad thing is...

"Raise your hand to cover my face! Quick! My head is going to be blown off by the wind!" Xue Xian shouted at Jiang Shining imposingly.

With such a big demon wind, it is naturally impossible for him to still sit on Jiang Shining's shoulders. In desperation, Jiang Shining could only clip him in his front, only showing his head, so that the restless goods could point Jiangshan. However, this monstrous wind did not follow common sense at all, and it couldn't be disordered.

Jiang Shining raised his hand with a green face, and while protecting his paper head, he moved forward with difficulty in the demonic wind, "You can indent your golden head into your clothes together."

Xue Xian categorically refused: "No, I'm afraid you'll go astray if you turn around."

Jiang Shining: "..." Where did this blind face come from?

Xue Xian sneered: "When you enter the city, you will cry and ask me how to get there."

Jiang Shining: "..."

They are going to Wolong County, which is two cities away from Ningyang County. It is one of the county towns near the river and has an ancient ferry.

The ferry is not too big, and there are not many passenger boats coming and going every day, and it is not the only one that can go to Anqing Prefecture. The reason why he had to cross the river there was just because Xue Xian was going there to find someone.

"There is a family in the east side of the ferry. They should be brothers, but they don't seem to be very close. I have been there twice, and both times, I have seen them making noise. The older one has some skills, I have to let them He helped me look at the golden beads, maybe he can find where the person who sold the golden beads to Master Liu is." Xue Xian said to Jiang Shining.

Since he has been there twice, it means that he is really a reliable expert. Jiang Shining naturally has no objection and rushes to Wolong County obediently.

In order to avoid the trouble of entering and leaving the city, they specially bypassed the two county towns separated by the middle, and all the way was mountain roads. One of these two is a dragon and the other is a ghost, and they are used to walking at night, so it should be nothing to fear.

However, there are rumors that there are some bandits wandering in the mountains and forests in this area. Because Xue Xian was holding a golden bead, Jiang Shining carried his heart and fear all the way, for fear that he would run into one or two groups and tear them apart.

This concern reached its peak when he saw the marks of fights chopped by knives and axes on the wall pillars of several abandoned temples, and saw dried dark red blood in the corner of the door.

I don't know if it's because of the different routes, or for some other reason, they didn't even meet a live mountain bandit along the way.

Anyway, it's oddly calm.

Until the fourth day, when they walked outside the destination city gate unscathed, Jiang Shining still couldn't believe it: "Are we lucky?"

"Others are not afraid of thieves, but are afraid of thieves. You're better, thinking about thieves all day long, and you're the only one." Xue Xian looked up at the city gate.

"Wolong County—" Jiang Shining read the three big characters and said: "It is said that any place name with the word 'dragon' is a place where a real dragon once appeared. This Wolong County, it sounds like The real dragon slept here."

Xue Xian looked disgusted: "This county town with a big slap doesn't even have enough feet, so you've only slept!"

Jiang Shining looked at him blankly: "I didn't say anything about you?"

They came just at the fifth watch, and the bell to announce the morning sounded from the city, wave after wave, from the inside to the outside. After the reverberation of the fifth wave of bells ceased, the city gate was slowly opened.

When the gate was opened, Jiang Shining avoided the corner, intending to turn into a cardboard and slip in by the door while the night was still dark, so as to avoid some inexplicable troubles during the inspection. But as soon as he took a step back, he felt something slapped his heels.

"What?" Xue Xian asked.

Jiang Shining squatted down, pushed aside the snow on the footprints, and found a slightly deformed iron piece.

By the light of the lantern on the city wall, Xue Xian squinted to identify it, and saw that the iron piece was about the size of a thumb, with a rough wolf head engraved on one side and a name on the other, but the name was ruthless with a knife Swipe it hard, don't see the original appearance.

"Another one." Jiang Shining muttered and took out a similar piece of iron from his arms.

He had picked it up under the Buddha statue in an abandoned temple before. It was still stained with a drop of dark blood. The side with the name on it was also scratched in such a mess that it was completely indecipherable.

Xue Xian said: "Take it first."

Jiang Shining put back the two iron pieces, and without further delay, he hurriedly entered the city along the crack of the door while the guard was not paying attention.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he was dumbfounded.

The appearance of Wolong County is very different from that of Ningyang County. At a glance, you can hardly see a straight street, all of which are crisscrossed and crisscrossed. At first glance, it looks like a messy labyrinth.

Jiang Shining held back for a while, and finally bowed his head to Xue Xian: "This way...how to go?"

Xue Xian proudly hugged Jin Zhu, shook his head and said, "The next street intersection, go through the chute where there is Zhang's Pastry Shop in the east."

"See that stall selling sesame cakes? Turn west at that corner."

"Which branch road smells like ravioli in fresh soup? Yes, just take that branch road."

…

A few streets and alleys jumped, and Jiang Shining was starving alive under his command. Born as a wild ghost, it is really a ghost to know how long he has not felt hungry.

"You are blind, do you rely on food to remember your journey?"

Xue Xian put his arms around Jin Zhu and nodded: "Yes. You walk more and talk less, it will be dawn. Just walk past a braised meat shop and a Baishun restaurant and you'll be there!"

Jiang Shining silently rolled his eyes.

Although this ancestor's way of remembering the way is a bit annoying, it is always short-cut. Sure enough, after passing the Baishun restaurant, Jiang Shining saw from a distance the ferry port hidden in the snow and mist, the flags were rattling in the wind, and there seemed to be a few passenger boats moored on the shore.

Jiang Shining folded his hands to cover the paper-skinned man, who was poking his head out from the front, and walked towards Fang District, east of the ferry, with his neck shrunk against the wind.

"Ancestor, can you sit still and don't move? I won't pick you up if the wind blows away." Jiang Shining rambled angrily.

Xue Xian turned his head and glanced at the street next to him several times, and tutted, "Why do I always feel that there is someone behind me."

Jiang Shining stopped subconsciously, and simply turned around and looked around for a week, "I didn't see anyone with a strange whereabouts. Is it possible that this snowflake is always drifting from the side of my eyes, and I'm seeing it wrong?"

"Perhaps." Xue Xian muttered, retracting his neck and trying to calm down a bit.

He thought to himself: If someone really followed, the snow on the ground would make a "crunching" sound when you stepped on it. There's no reason to hear it. Maybe I really think too much...

Under the guidance of Xue Xian, Jiang Shining soon came to a remote house in the workshop. To say that it is a gate house is simply to lift it up. From the outside, the yard was as small as a chicken coop. The door was a single leaf, old and mottled. Because of the humidity, the corners of the door even had mildew spots, and no one cared about it.

It can be seen that this resident is not a good man.

"Knock on the door." Xue Xian said.

Jiang Shining is used to being reserved, and when he knocks on the door, he is also very polite, "tuk-tuk-tuk" three times, soft and slow, and Xue Xian's teeth hurt when he hears, "You mosquito humming on the door, that pair of brothers Heck if you can hear it, one of them has an ear injury, you can knock it with confidence."

Hearing this, Jiang Shining reluctantly increased his strength, while reciting "Forgiveness and forgiveness", he knocked several times.

After a while, there was finally a little "crunching" footsteps in the yard.

I don't know if it's because the snow is not easy to walk, it sounds a little... staggering?

"How old are the brothers?" Jiang Shining couldn't help asking.

"Oh." Xue Xian replied, "The younger is about eight or nine years old, and the older one is sixteen or seventeen."

Jiang Shining was stunned: "What? Are you looking for a child to ask about things?"

At the moment when he was stunned, the single old wooden door was slammed open from the inside.

"The thief! Get out!!"

A childish roar came from the door.

Then there was a screeching sound. A large pot of water of unknown origin was poured over, and Jiang Shining, who was unable to react, was poured from start to finish!

Jiang Shining's original body was a piece of paper after all. After being splashed with water all over his face, he immediately shuddered, his whole body softened, and he fell to the ground powerlessly. Xue Xian in his arms was also not spared, and fell out wet, sticking to the wet ground with a squeak, and the golden beads "Gululu" in his arms rolled out and happened to roll to the door.

The person in the door threw away the wooden basin in his hand with a "bang", hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the golden bead by the door into his hand, and hurriedly got up and closed the door.

Just as Xue Xian was sticking to the ground, holding back his anger and intending to start cursing, a warm hand fell from the sky and pulled him off the ground.

There was a familiar smell of bitter medicine in that hand, which made Xue Xian sneezed immediately. He hung his head wetly, trying to straighten but couldn't stand up, couldn't help but exclaim: "Bald donkey! Whether I dug your ancestral grave or your grave, what are you doing? ?! Are you **** tired after chasing eight hundred miles? Huh?!"

A cold and indifferent voice sounded from the top of Xue Xian's head: "If you have work to worry about, you are not tired."

"..." Xue Xian was about to vomit blood, and immediately wanted to plant him head down into the river!

The person standing in front of this chicken coop courtyard is none other than Xuan Min.

I saw him carrying the wet Xue Xian, then picked up Jiang Shining, who had been splashed and turned back into the prototype, sandwiched the two between his two fingers, and then rudely pushed it away wooden door.

He strode into the courtyard, grabbed the "little thief" who fled in a hurry, lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Don't be greedy if you don't want to, and return the gold beads."
