Borrow the day to change the day

() After Zhong Jinwei sat down in the shed with air leakage on all sides, he found no one came up to entertain him, so he looked around for the shopkeeper.

At the table on the side of the pot, there is a shopkeeper-like person, but he is not as diligent as the shopkeeper usually sees in restaurants. It's like doing business.

"The shopkeeper, Xiao Er?" Zhong Jinwei shouted at the man.

A young face appeared on the other side of the pot, apparently sticking out after hearing the sound, and it seemed that it was burning a fire.

"Shopkeeper, we have customers." The young man shouted at the sitting person.

The shopkeeper raised his head reflexively, looked at the young man, his eyes were still in a state of absence, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Oh, okay, right away."

Only then did the shopkeeper resume his due diligence, walked quickly to Zhong Jinwei's side, and said with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, what do you want?"

Zhong Jinwei felt a little awkward when he saw the smile on the shopkeeper's face, and it was fake at first glance.Feeling a little unhappy, he said, "I've been calling you for a long time, do you have anything to eat here?"

"Sorry, sorry, the shop has hot water, hot tea, hot porridge, pickles, and steamed buns." The shopkeeper laughed along with him.

"That's all?" Zhong Jinwei was a little surprised.

"Guest officer, you can tell by looking around the shop. Jianlu didn't set it up until he had left for a long time. There is nothing to eat."

"Then have a pot of hot tea first, and wait until my companion arrives." Zhong Jinwei was helpless.

At this time, Gu Baichuan had already walked over, and after hearing the conversation just now, he said to Zhong Jinwei: "My lord, when Wang Peng and the others arrive, I have some dry food with me, let them heat it up, and then they can eat."

Zhong Jinwei nodded, looked at the shopkeeper and talked to the young man, then sat there again in a daze.

That young man, probably a waiter, came over with a pot of hot tea and two teacups from the pot table, and poured hot tea for Zhong Jinwei and Gu Baichuan.During this process, it can be seen that Xiao Er's hands and feet are a little rusty, and the tea has splashed a little.

Gu Baichuan watched from the side, a little dissatisfied and said: "Do you do business like this?"

Xiaoer looked back at the shopkeeper who was in a daze, turned back, and said in a low voice: "You two guests, please forgive me. Our shopkeeper has just experienced family ruin. The biggest inn here used to be opened by the shopkeeper. Business is booming, we have a son and a daughter, and life is booming. Once the Jian captives came, they were all gone."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he looked at the shopkeeper sympathetically, and didn't have any more demands.

But Gu Baichuan asked: "Jianlu let him go?" After speaking, he pouted at the shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper just went to the capital to discuss business with regular customers, so he avoided disaster."

Gu Baichuan was reasonable, so he nodded.

Zhong Jinwei's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that the shopkeeper's dazed eyes were looking at the direction, that is, on a shelf beside the shed, there were two small windmills, made of colored paper, very beautiful.I couldn't help feeling sour: I'm afraid the shopkeeper bought it for his son and daughter.It's just that the things are still there, and the people are gone.

The waiter continued to explain: "I also just came here. The soldiers in the capital were weeded out. I was eliminated and homeless. When I passed by here, I was taken in by the shopkeeper and started working as a waiter in the shop. It was just now. Things, so hands and feet are rusty, please forgive me, guest officer."

Zhong Jinwei looked at Xiao Er's appearance, as if he didn't recognize him.That's right, with tens of 10 people, it's impossible for everyone to recognize him. Even if they can remember his appearance, they probably won't believe that he is the supervisor of King Qin's army.

Nodding to Xiaoer, Zhong Jinwei said: "It's okay, you go and do your work, we will drink tea and wait for our companions."

Seeing that the two of them were easy to talk to, Xiao Er thanked them and went back to work at the cooking station.

At this time, a traveler from Tongzhou also entered the shed to drink hot tea to drive away the cold, and sat at the table next to Zhong Jinwei and the others.

Zhong Jinwei and Gu Baichuan chatted to solve the hardship of waiting when they had nothing to do.

Chatting, chatting about everything, and after a while, we talked about hot events in the capital these days, the charity donation incident.

Unexpectedly, when the traveler next door heard Zhong Jinwei and Gu Baichuan talking about the capital, he came over and asked, "You two, have you just come from the capital?"

Gu Baichuan looked at him warily, but didn't speak immediately.When the man saw it, he quickly explained: "We are from Xiayinkang Village, Tongzhou County, surnamed Liu Mingda. I want to go to the capital to find out some information. I heard that the two of you seem to be from the capital, so I want to ask."

Zhong Jinwei saw that this person was honest and honest, so he shouldn't be a bad person, so he replied: "We just came from the capital, I wonder what news you want to inquire about?"

"I wonder if the emperor has convicted Yuan Chonghuan of any crime?" asked Liu Da, a traveler.

After asking, seeing that Gu Baichuan's vigilant expression remained unchanged, he had to say again: "There are more than a hundred households in our village, not far from Tongzhou, and only a dozen or so people were killed by Jianlu, and they all entered by chance. A person who only escaped catastrophe by working in Tongzhou City. I heard from relatives in Tongzhou that the emperor has already arrested Yuan Chonghuan. If he wants to know what the crime is, it is best to behead him. Everyone in our village must go and see."

The shopkeeper over there heard the word "Yuan Chonghuan", and looked this way at once.Hearing that Yuan Chonghuan's crime was being discussed, he surrounded him.

Zhong Jinwei felt very strange when he heard Liu Da's words. A villager was also concerned about this matter, and said that it would be better to behead him, and he had to go and see.Can't help asking him: "Why do you want Yuan Chonghuan to die?"

Before Liu Da had time to speak, the shopkeeper who came over gritted his teeth and said, "I wish this thief Yuan would be hacked into pieces and his bones turned into ashes!" His tone was full of deep hatred.

At this moment, Gu Baichuan was no longer wary of that Liu Da, and asked curiously: "If you hate him so much, you should hate Jianlu?"

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Baichuan and said, "Of course we should hate Jianlu, but we should hate that thief Yuan even more. If it wasn't for him, Jianlu would come here to kill people."

"Didn't the Jianlu come in by bypassing the Shanhai Pass? It is said that they should have come in through Liu Ce's line of defense. It has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan?" Gu Baichuan asked again.

The shopkeeper didn't speak, and that Liu Da spoke first: "Brother, you are wrong."

"Why?"

"We don't understand the general principle, but we only know one thing. There are wolves on our mountain, and they always go down the mountain to ruin livestock. One person said that as long as we raise money for him, he will definitely kill the wolf. When we raise enough money He, in the end, the wolf didn't kill him, but ran into the village, bypassed the fence, and killed the man. Tell me, do we hate the fence for not being able to stop the wolf, or do we hate the wolf-beater more?"

Gu Baichuan stopped talking after hearing this.Zhong Jinwei said in his heart: If these people knew that the wolf-beater was following the wolf, seeing the wolf coming to the village to bite people and not daring to step forward to fight, maybe they would hate it even more.

The interface of the shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you are right. If you go to the capital and come to my store to rest, I will give you free of charge, but if you have news to tell me, I am also at odds with this thief Yuan."

Now that Liu Da and the shopkeeper had a common topic, they didn't care about Zhong Jinwei and Gu Baichuan, and went directly to the next table to talk.

Zhong Jinwei and Gu Baichuan looked at each other without saying a word, thinking that no matter whether the wolf-beater colluded with the wolf or not, he had his own way of death, and the common people had their own simple ideas, and they were fair and comfortable.

Just drinking hot tea like this, listening to the words of the two people next to me, the time was unknowingly wasted.

When the pot of tea was almost finished, Archie finally arrived when he heard the grunt of the carriage.At that moment, Zhong Jinwei and Gu Baichuan greeted him.

Seeing that the time was almost noon, Gu Baichuan asked Wang Peng to bring out the dry food and preserved meat, and asked Xiaoer to heat it up.

Zhong Jinwei helped Archie get out of the carriage and came to rest in the shed, while the groom went to park the car by himself.

Soon the smell of meat wafted from the pot, causing the stomachs of the people around to react, and the voices of "cuckoo, cluck" came and went.

Anyway, there was a lot of dry food, so Zhong Jinwei invited these suffering people to have a meal together.

Using several tables to form a big one, Archie sat obediently beside Zhong Jinwei, Wang Peng and Gu Baichuan sat on both sides, and the shopkeeper, Liu Da and the groom sat on the side after thanking them.

Liu Da said while eating: "Young master, are you going to Tongzhou from the capital? It's best not to go north if you have nothing to do. I don't know why Jianlu will come back."

Zhong Jinwei nodded and said, "We will arrive at Tongzhou, and we will not go any further."

"That's good." After finishing speaking, he stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up another piece, and sighed in his mouth: "Tongzhou City survived the disaster, really! Thanks to Mr. Sun Ge! If it weren’t for him, the people of the whole city would suffer, and my relative’s family would have enshrined Mr. Sun Ge’s longevity tablet.”

Zhong Jinwei smiled, the common people also have clear grievances!
