Chapter 152 152: Action (10) [Requesting monthly votes]
“What’s going on, haven’t you dealt with it yet?”
The subordinate officer took a long time.
Captain Yang’s limited patience ran out. The horse's hooves stepped on the puddles, splashing mud-colored water. He stepped forward on his horse, wearing a ferocious beast-headed armor, and looked down at the hunched-back old man, putting great pressure on the latter, making his shoulders tremble with fear.
“Are these two?”
The official answered truthfully.
Captain Yang glanced at the old man whose face was full of vicissitudes of life and the shriveled and thin shepherd boy. The grandfather and grandson both have sunburn scars on their faces from years of exposure to the sun due to hard work, and they have frostbite on their fingers. The old man wore a broken hat with missing corners, and the shepherd boy wore a large old raincoat.
Looking horizontally and vertically, they were all ordinary people in this world, not the thieves he was worried about at all. Captain Yang's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but the anger in his heart had not yet been cleared away.
"You two are not home at this time, why are you running around in the mountains?"
The old man moved his lips, and said awkwardly and unjustly: "Master Bing Mingjian, I would not have been able to wait. I’m willing to go home, it’s really…”
He looked at the direction Captain Yang and the others were coming from. He hesitated to speak, but hesitated to speak. Although he did not speak, his cloudy eyes had already fully explained the vicissitudes of life and embarrassment. Captain Yang was furious and snorted: "Are you, old man, accusing us of blocking your way?"
The old man said with fear and fear: "Don't you dare."
He He was so frightened by Captain Yang's words that his face turned pale.
The shepherd boy on the back of the cow bit his lower lip, lowered his head and hunched his shoulders, looking pitiful and helpless. Captain Yang did not want to embarrass an old and weak grandfather and grandson in front of so many people. He pointed to the side of the road with the hand holding the whip: "You go over there, don't delay me while I'm waiting for business."
Hearing this, the old man felt as if he had been granted amnesty, nodded and bowed, and thanked Captain Yang repeatedly without saying anything. Forgot to say auspicious words of compliment.
Perhaps feeling that what he said was not enough, he tugged on his grandson's torn trouser legs, indicating that his grandson was also grateful for Captain Yang's greatness.
The shepherd boy Qiqi Ai couldn't finish half a sentence.
Duwei Yang secretly thought that it was bad luck, but he still stuttered.
"Okay, okay, get out of the way!"
The old man nodded while struggling to drag the disobedient old cow to the side of the road and out of the way. The tax team continued to crawl slowly like a snail, and the old cow also carried the shepherd boy, and slowly moved forward under the influence of the old man, until——
"This old man, wait a minute!"
Zhai Le stepped forward with a smile and called to the old man.
The old man's ears seemed to be not very good. He took a moment to come to his senses and raised his hands to him: "Hello, Master Bing, what are your orders?"
Zhai Le asked: "Is there anyone at my father-in-law's house? Are you selling dates?”
The old man was speechless. , although he was extremely puzzled, he still replied respectfully: "We never sell dates at home, but we have two trees planted behind the house, one is an orange tree, and the other is an orange tree. If Master Bing doesn't dislike it, he can stay here Don’t leave, I’ll bring it to you.”
Zhai Le didn't call the old man to stop him just to eat oranges. But the old man's enthusiasm made him a little embarrassed.
"Give it to your grandson."
The old man pleased Zhai Le, glanced at his grandson, and sighed: "He can only eat two, but we people don't deserve it." If you want to eat it, I will bring the rest to Bing Ye. I also have a lot of dried orange peels at home. Soak the orange peels in some water and drink them. It’s quite delicious.”
Zhai Le saw that the old man was very serious. , hurriedly blocked it.
The old man looked at Zhai Le suspiciously, as if Monk Zhang Er was confused, and said: "Master Bing stopped us, not to eat oranges... but to eat dates? But there is no date tree at home, alas. ——If you go further, someone may plant jujube trees.”
Zhai Le: "..."
Watching this scene, Zhai Huan couldn't help but smile.
Zhai Le is thin-skinned. Hearing this laughter, his whole face turned red with embarrassment, and he said angrily and angrily: "Brother, don't laugh!"
Zhai Huan was very embarrassed. Sincerity: "Yes, yes, if you don't smile, don't smile."
Seeing that he really didn't smile, Zhai Le turned around and asked the old man again.
"Does my father-in-law make wine at home?" As a loyal fan of "Water Margin", it is a rare experience for the novel to be translated into reality. The tax banker was targeting the birthday card. Yang Duwei had the same surname as the heroic green-faced beast Yang Zhi. The birthday card was robbed in Huangnigang, and they were now on a similar mountain road.
At this moment, two grandsons, an old man and a young man, walked towards me.
It’s not that Zhai Le suspected that the grandfather and grandson were gangsters in disguise. If they were really disguised, how could his cousin not see it?
He just wants to collect the same elements as his idols.
As long as the old man's family makes a living selling dates and wine, he will be satisfied with just one of them. But no one understood his little thoughts, and his brother even laughed at him. The old man looked at the young man who was handsome, well-dressed but mentally ill, and said slowly: "We don't sell wine at home, but my son loved wine when he was alive and could drink three jars at a time."
Zhai Le He pursed his lips in regret.
The old man asked again: "Do you have any other orders from Master Bing?"
Zhai Le concealed his disappointment and warned gently: "It's over, I'll go ahead. The mountain road is slippery. Pay attention to your safety.”
The old man thanked you, “Thank you for your concern.”
After saying that, he took Lao Niu and continued on the road. He didn't dare to get too close to the tax collection team, but he also didn't dare to stray too far from the mountain road for fear that he would get lost when the night got dark. The tax banker's team moved forward, while the grandfather and grandson walked backwards. They walked towards each other, and it took a full quarter of an hour before they separated.
Zhai Huan frowned slightly as he looked at the departing figures of his grandfather and grandson in the distance.
After a while, he borrowed a scout from Captain Yang.
Captain Yang was not very satisfied: "What are you doing?"
Zhai Huan said: "Follow the grandfather and grandson."
Captain Yang snorted: "A white-haired old guy and a yellow-haired kid. Are you worried that they are outposts of criminals?"
If you really suspect that they are outposts, just arrest them and kill them.
Why send scouts to follow and investigate?
Zhai Huan did not say it clearly, but just said quietly: "Be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship. If these two grandsons are really innocent and just appeared by chance, there is no need to disturb them, so as not to damage the captain's life. Good reputation. If they have a problem, wouldn't arresting them serve as a warning? "
Captain Yang can't defeat these scribes.
They both have pros and cons for a sentence.
Due to the rain, the tax bank team could not move fast even if they wanted to, so Captain Yang adopted Zhai Huan's suggestion out of caution.
Zhai Le asked his cousin privately: "That pair of grandfather and grandson..."
Zhai Huan knew what he was going to ask, and said softly: "I'm not sure if it's them, so I just used the scribe's method Exploration..."
Zhai Le looked confused: "What happened?"
He knew the ways of his cousin the scribe.
【Eight Days Hexagram】
A hexagram can appear every eight days.
The seemingly unnatural way of being a scribe also has many limitations. For example, it is impossible to specify the object of the hexagram, and only displays the hexagram image, which consumes a lot of literary energy. Due to various restrictions, he usually doesn't use it very much, but he only used it this time out of caution.
He said: "Shui Lei Tun was difficult at the beginning."
Zhai Le swept away the relief on his brows, and it was replaced by solemnity: "Tuen Gua, next... the earthquake is thunder, the bump is rain, the thunder and rain are mixed, and there are many dangers, it is not a good sign..."

1. I’m going to buy some oranges. Just stand here and don’t move around. ——The back view (what the father said to his son)
I will eat two and give the rest to you——Luo Tuo Xiangzi (what the grandfather said to his grandson)
You still have two to eat , soak orange peels in some water and drink it - four generations live under one roof (what the great-grandfather said to his great-grandson)
Tang Mei took advantage of Zhai Le, haha.
2. I haven’t studied the I Ching hexagrams and mushrooms, so I just scanned them roughly and don’t take them seriously.
