Chapter 22 Half a Cup of Flower Tea
"Drive, hurry up, get around and don't let that thief get away." On the Qingshan trail, a group of cavalry quickly ran past. In front of them was a man in a coir raincoat. Only sharp arrows.

after a chase

"You are really a bunch of trash, this can make him run away." The leader knight said angrily.

"My lord, he can't run away. The arrow is smeared with poison. Maybe he is hiding in some grass. Please ask your subordinates to look for it again."

"Then hurry up." The leader growled.

"Yes."

Then they passed a tea stall, and a knight called to a maiden who was making tea.

"Does the military master want to drink tea? I have here..." The girl came to the knight tremblingly.

"I'm not in the mood today. Let me ask you, did you see a man in a coir raincoat passing by?" the knight asked loudly.

"No, I didn't see it. The shop has just set up a stall, and there have been no customers yet." The girl hurriedly waved her hands and said she didn't know.

"What you said is true? I warn you, that man is a murderous gangster. If you see him, you must report to the police immediately?"

"Yes, yes" the girl nodded repeatedly.

Evening
The girl closed the tea stand early and came to a cave on the edge of the cliff from the path.

When I walked in, I saw that there was no one there. There was only a burnt wooden stick on the ground. Just when the girl was puzzled, a dagger was pressed against her throat.

"How many officers and soldiers are there?" A dull voice came from behind.

"No, no, it's just me"

"Why didn't you report to the official? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"Is there anyone worse than an officer?"

"Oh, you little girl is quite sensible." The man removed the dagger from the girl's neck.

"Why are you here?" The man took off his coir raincoat and threw it on the ground, and lay down on his side. He was starting to feel a little dizzy now. He guessed that the arrow was poisoned, and death was only a matter of time.

"I brought you some food and herbs." The girl took out two steamed buns and a handful of weirdly shaped herbs from the basket.

The man took off his close-fitting soft armor, biting the steamed bun in his mouth, and the girl carefully grabbed the arrow on the man's back with her hands.

"Hiss~" As soon as he touched the body of the arrow, the man's teeth ached from the pain.

"I, did I hurt you?" The girl was at a loss.

"It's okay, you can use your strength later to save grandpa from suffering." The man put the bun aside, picked up a small stick from the ground and put it in his mouth.

After a stick of incense, the three arrows on the man's back were pulled out, and the girl began to smear herbs on his back.

"What's your name?" the man asked while chewing on the steamed buns!

"Flower tea!" The girl timidly replied, this was the first time someone asked her name.

"It's ugly, who picked it up for you?"

"It's my grandfather." The girl blushed.

"Oh, what about your grandpa?"

"died!"

"How did you die?"

"Killed by the army."

"why?"

"Because I can't pay the taxes."

"Oh!" The man has now finished eating the steamed buns.The girl's herbal medicine has also been applied.

"Where is the kiln?" the girl asked.

The man turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

"Those military masters said that after a while, if I can't pay the taxes, they will sell me to a kiln. Where is the kiln?" The girl looked at the man with wide eyes, hoping to get an answer.

"Oh, the kiln is not a good place for you, so why don't you run away?" the man replied.

"It's the same everywhere, you can't escape," the girl replied.

"Yes, this world is too chaotic."

"Are you a bad person?"

"Do you look like me?"

"Like it!"

"Hahahahaha, little girl, I'm not a bad person, but those who want to sell you to a brothel are."

"Oh, are you going to kill them all?"

"Do you want me to kill them all?"

"Um!"

"Okay, then I'll kill them all, and then I'll marry you as my wife, okay?"

"What is a wife?"

"Wife, my wife is the one who cooks for me and sleeps with me every day."

"Then am I not your wife now?"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha."

Ten years later

It's still the same mountain, the same tea stand, the bandit who was hunted down in the past is now a general, he was ordered to go to the west to suppress the rebellion, and now he has returned triumphantly, he chose this route back to Beijing, maybe he was expecting something, fighting The fight is over, is that person still there?
There was no young girl on the tea stand, only an old woman selling freshly brewed scented tea.

"Ma'am, where's the girl who sold tea here?" The general got off his horse and came to the tea stand.

"Oh, you said that girl, she has stopped selling tea here a long time ago." The aunt replied.

"Then where did she go, do you know?"

"I heard that I got married, but I don't know where I got married!"

"Okay, thank you, ma'am." The general got on his horse and left the tea stand. She is married.

After he left, the aunt put away the tea stall, and she was never seen again.
