Chapter 183: Just a Small Jinyiwei

The fog gradually thickened as time went by, and the official road, low mountains, villas and lakes were gradually shrouded in thick fog. Thick fog and small snowflakes merged between the sky and the earth, and it looked completely white from a distance.

On a lone pine branch on the edge of a cliff in a short mountain forest, an old man with a long white beard in a black robe stood quietly, not knowing who he was waiting for.

"Yu Heng, you're late, it's already dawn." The old man said softly inexplicably.

The branch nearby moved slightly, and another man in black robe suddenly appeared. I don't know if he didn't stand firm, but Yu Heng didn't rush to speak at first, but waited quietly, his black robe slowly fluttering in the wind.

After the mountain wind gradually subsided, he slowly said, "It's not too late, but Tianshu, you came early..."

"I have been waiting all night, but things in the capital are not going well. So I am anxious..."

"Don't worry, we can't reach Jiangnan in front of us, and we can't reach the capital behind. I hurriedly and slowly made it there."

"Understood, things can't be delayed."

Yu Heng smiled silently, his tone seemed to be full of confidence, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged, and there won't be any surprises."

Tianshu didn't say anything. It didn't matter if there was an accident, but just don't miss it again. He had already failed once in the capital, and if he failed again here, it would not be something that could be brushed aside.

People can't be unlucky before the year and have unlucky after the new year, right? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Tianshu comforted himself silently.

"What? Can't you trust me?" Seeing that Tianshu remained silent, Yu Heng turned around and asked.

"That's not the case, it's just that I have been memorizing words recently..." After thinking about it, Tianshu recounted what happened in the capital, and said helplessly, "Tell me, do you have to pray to a Buddha or a god recently?" It’s really unlucky.”

After hearing this, Yu Heng laughed loudly, "Isn't he just a little Jin Yiwei? If I have a chance, I will help you catch him and kill him how you want!"

"Haha, it's just a little Jin Yiwei, so I won't bother you."

...

After tying the horse in the stable and carrying fodder for the horse, Zhao followed the old man to the backyard.

"Sir, are you going to Jiangnan?" the old man walking in front asked with interest.

Zhao, who was admiring the misty scenery of the villa, heard the old man's voice, turned around and said with a smile, "I really want to go to Jiangnan, to Linjiang. To do the cotton business, alas, after a year of hard work, I can only make ends meet."

"The world is not good, and business is naturally not easy to do. It's good to be able to have food and clothing. My brother is also a capable person. He travels all over the country, unlike me, the old man. The furthest I have been to the state capital in my life, hahaha."

Because there weren't many strangers in the villa, so it was not easy to find Zhao who was willing to chat, and the old man started chatting.

The two of them chatted with each other for a long time. Because the old man was old and walked slowly, and Zhao didn't recognize him, he had to follow behind. Just walking and chatting like this, after passing through several corridors and courtyards, we stopped in front of the backyard door.

The old man was busy looking for the key, while Zhao Jue wisely took out five taels of silver and said with a smile, "Old man, this fodder is all for you. It's really embarrassing not to pay for it. You have to trouble the old man for five taels of silver to stay for two days." Take care of food and drink.”

"Okay, okay." After accepting the money with a smile, he said with a smile, "Old man, if the food I cook is not delicious, please don't dislike it."

"No way, no way. As long as you can eat enough, I'm used to eating simple meals."

"Thank you, brother." The old man found the key, opened the door, and opened the door to a vacant room.

"Brother, this is the one. This one is in the middle. It's not so cold and wet, and it's more comfortable to live in."

After opening the door, the old man kindly stepped aside and raised his hand to let Zhao go in and feel it. Zhao was not picky. Everyone said that, so just walk in openly. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just change it.

Unexpectedly, after walking in, I felt a lot refreshed. Hey, what a conscientious businessman!

"Old man, please rest, this is the room."

"I've been working hard all day. Let's have a good sleep first to recuperate. Then you don't have to worry about making my lunch. Thank you very much."

After a few words of advice and asking where he could set up a fire to boil water, he decisively went to the woodshed and carried a bundle of dry firewood. I put down the big wooden basin and boiled water to take a bath.

The moment your body is soaked in hot water after a tiring day, the fatigue immediately dissipates.

"It's so cool!"

Zhao started "moaning" unscrupulously, and from a distance he thought something forbidden had happened in the house.

After soaking comfortably in the hot water until it cooled down, Zhao got up without feeling satisfied. After drying himself, he lay down on the bed without any surprise, enjoying the warm quilt to his heart's content.

Cool!

Unknowingly, I closed my eyes, and the tension from the day continued to dissipate, and I soon fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already half dark. Zhao felt a little cold as soon as he came out of bed, but he felt much better.

After putting on the cotton robe, I followed the old man's instructions in the morning and went out to find something to eat. It was really uncomfortable to wake up hungry.

"Brother, are you awake? How long have you been running, and you are so tired? Brother, let me say a few more unpleasant words to the old man. You can never make enough money, but if your body is broken, it will be difficult to take care of you. ..." After serving Zhao a bowl of brown rice, the old man persuaded him softly.

After chattering for a while, he remembered that he was a customer and he seemed to have talked a little too much, so he apologized and said, "Old man, I talked too much. I'm sorry."

Zhao just smiled indifferently, "It's okay, there are only two of us here, so it's okay to chat. Besides, what you said makes sense, and we have to listen to it."

"Thank you, brother. Eat slowly, I'll go check the warehouse. We can't have any accidents in this freezing weather."

"Okay, be careful on the road, old man."

Then the old man stood up with the help of the table and walked out with his hands behind his back. Zhao was happy to be idle, chewing the rice in his mouth silently.

Although I'm used to fine food and drink in Beijing, anything tastes good when I'm hungry, not to mention what else I want to eat in this place? Just make do with it!

After eating and drinking, I wanted to enter the familiar hot tea session, but unfortunately, I only brought tea and no teacup, and there was only a large bowl in this place.

Although there's nothing wrong with the large bowl, it always feels a bit inappropriate. I can't just hold a bowl bigger than my face and sip it.

Without tea to refresh myself, I yawned again just after waking up, and walked to the backyard with my mouth covered. Come on, let's go back to sleep, no matter how long you've slept, you should go to sleep in this weather!

When he walked to the door, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by on the wall, and the hair in the crack of the door lay quietly on the ground.

Zhao didn't make any other unnecessary movements, just pushed the door open normally, stretched his body, and lay down on the bed.

"Alas, this place is not right..."
