Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 276 Both have a purpose

Chapter 276
Seeing that the person's target was Jin Xi's carriage parked by the roadside, A Wang stood up from behind a tree, reached out his hand to stop the two of them, and said coldly, "What are you doing? Stop!"

The young man in Tsing Yi raised his eyes and saw Jin Xi standing under the big tree here, nodded his head, with a flattering smile on his face, and begged, "Isn't this the girl from Mingshan Pavilion? We met two days ago." passed."

Jin Xi frowned slightly, glanced at the man in white on the back of the boy in green, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with him?"

"My young master caught a cold in the rain two days ago, and he hurried on his way today before he fully recovered. I'm afraid he's tired and hot..."

"Since you've got heatstroke, what are you doing standing under the sun with him on your back? Move him to a cool place." Jin Xi said.

The young man in Tsing Yi nodded repeatedly, bypassed the carriage, and carried the man in white to the side of the tree. Jin Xi signaled that Awang would help him to support the unconscious man in white and sit under the big tree .

The man in white hangs his head, one side of his face is ferocious and terrifying, the other side is pale and bloodless, and the corners of his mouth are slightly blue. In such hot weather, each of Jin Xi and the others are wiping sweat and fanning the wind. But there was not a drop of sweat on it.

It looked like he was really suffering from heatstroke.

"Young master, wake up, we met the lady from the owner of Mingshan Pavilion, she still has a carriage, young master, please wake up quickly..." The boy in blue squatted in front of the man in white, calling out anxiously .Jin Xi didn't go there, she stood under the big tree not far away, looking at this side calmly.

A gust of wind blew through the forest, and after a while, the man in white finally regained consciousness and murmured: "Water, I want to drink water..."

The boy in Tsing Yi hurriedly untied the water bag on his waist, it was shriveled, without a drop of water in it.He couldn't help but looked towards Jin Xi with a sad face begging for help.

"Master, please do me a favor and give my young master a sip of water, please?"

In the water bag that Jin Xi is holding in her hand, there is still more than half of the bag full of water, but it is all leftover from her drinking.

Awang said: "I haven't opened my water bag yet, I gave it to you, take it."

The boy in green took the water bag, thanked Jinxi and Ngawang gratefully, then held the man in white by the chin, poured water into his mouth carefully...

My boss, may I ask if you are going to the county seat?I beg you to show your hand high and let my young master take a ride for a while, right?If I don't get in the car, I'll just run behind, please!

Not long after, the man in white began to sweat from his forehead, he exhaled a breath of foul air, and slowly opened his eyes.Empty, dazed, and out of focus, it was exactly the same as Tan's state when his eyes were darkened some time ago.

Jin Xi withdrew her gaze from the blind man in white, and sighed inwardly, it seems that he really is a blind man with no windows to his soul, and he is also a poor man.Such a poor person who can't even take care of himself, is it impossible to be linked with Wending's powerful enemy?
Jin Xi rested similarly, greeted Ah Cai and Ah Wang, and was about to leave again, when the young man in green came up a few steps behind, bowed to Jin Xi's side and begged, "Ms. Are you going to the county seat?"

"What are you going to do?" Jin Xi asked instead of answering him.

"It's like this. My young master is going back to the county too. My boss, can you give me a ride along the way? I don't want to get in the car, I just run behind, please!"

Jin Xi glanced at the man in white who was twisting his neck to 'look' at the side of the big tree over there, and asked in surprise, "Where are you going? Also, aren't you in a gorgeous carriage?"

"The carriage was rented, and it will be pawned when it's used up. We're going to Hu Village fifteen miles ahead. My young master has distant relatives in Hu Village." The boy in green said.

Hu Village?Jin Xi is not very familiar with the villages on this side of Changqiao Town, and was thinking about whether to let them take a ride, the man in white under the big tree over there struggled to stand up while supporting the trunk, and took out ten A few copper coins came, and they came towards the side where Jin Xi and the others were talking.

With a hint of anxiety in his gentle and peaceful voice, he said: "Is it the lady from Mingshan Pavilion? I beg you to make it easy. At this hour, it is difficult for us to stop the car all the way. I will give you the fare, okay?"

It's really not easy to stop a car at this time of day, and Jin Xi couldn't bear to see the blind man's sloppy steps and pale face.Glancing at Ah Cai and Ah Wang, they had no intention of objecting. It seemed that everyone still sympathized with such a poor man.

Jin Xi walked up to the white-clothed man in a few steps, raised her face to look into his blank and empty eyes, and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, tell your servant to get up and stop kowtowing." After speaking, from the white-clothed man's broad palm, The dozen or so copper plates were unceremoniously followed.

"It's done, let your servant help you into the car, sit in the front." Jin Xi said, turned around and got into the car first.A Wang and A Cai went to lead the horse, and the other followed Jin Xi.

Here, Lingbao stood up, ran over to support the man in white and walked towards the carriage, and made him sit side by side with Awang, while Acai and Lingbao followed the two sides of the carriage, and the carriage started slowly and steadily. , and drove towards the front at a speed that Lingbao's trotting feet could catch up with.

It looked like it was fifteen miles to Hu Village, the white-clothed men sat quietly and orderly in the front along the way, and Jin Xi sat in the back compartment, with the curtain drawn down to separate them.

Awang got Jinxi's instruction, and while driving the car, he intentionally or unintentionally chatted with the man in white. Jinxi sat in the back and squinted his eyes to doze off, analyzing the conversation from behind the curtain in his ears.

"Hearing Xiongtai's accent, it doesn't look like people from Wanghai area? May I ask where is Xiongtai's home?" Awang's voice.

"Brother, you have good ears. I'm not a local. I came from the capital." The man in white said.

The capital of the Great Moon Kingdom is in Lijing, and it is thousands of miles away from here, so far away!
"It turned out to be a nobleman who came down from the capital!" Awang smiled, and continued: "Then why did you go to a small place like Changqiao Town alone with a young man? Visiting relatives and friends? Will it be a business?"

The man in white humbly whispered, and said peacefully: "To be honest, I'm here to hide from my family and come out to seek medical advice. My eyes and face, hey..."

"Your home is in the capital city. The capital city is under the feet of the emperor. Aren't there a lot of people with high medical skills?" Awang asked.

"Brother's words are biased." The man in white said, "Because it is at the feet of the emperor, capable people come forth in large numbers, but in the capital, the rich and noble are also like the pine hair on the mountain. There are a lot of capable people. Those wealthy people use money and power to make their eyes grow on the top of their heads! The rest of them, there are many people who pretend to be fools, and their diseases are not well diagnosed, but they make things wrong! My eyes used to be able to see a sliver of light , after being diagnosed and treated by several doctors who are said to be Xinglin masters in turn, now his eyes are smeared! Oh, I am so upset!"

Awang was silent for a while, Jinxi in the back compartment was also quite surprised, the man in white spoke quite honestly, the capital city is where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather, people from Jinxi's family background live happily in the countryside Happy and nourishing, if you put it in the capital, it will only be a little better than the performers and beggars under the flyover.

What's more, if you have money but no power, it's hard to protect the money, it's better to stay in the countryside, Jin Xi thought to herself.

"Brother, are you being modest? I saw the gorgeous carriage you were sitting in that day, and it looked like the young master of a rich family!" Awang continued to ask.

"Hey, a well-off family like mine, with a shop and fields, would be enviable if placed in a small town below here, but it would be nothing if placed in the capital! Besides, my father is more than just a child. I have a son! This time I went out, I just slipped out, because I really can't stand those quack doctors who use my eyes every day for money, I have to rely on myself!"

"What kind of method?"

"When I was at home, I often heard people say that many folk remedies may be better than those expensive herbs, so I thought about it and looked for it. If I was lucky, I might find it. "

"It's a pity that I don't have enough travel experience. The first time I came out, I didn't plan everything well, and I was fooled by some bell doctors. I planned to go to Yunzhou in the south, and then I went to the Wanghai area. , I don’t have much to worry about. I have no choice but to pawn the carriage and go home first. I’ll come out again when I’m ready next time!”

The white-clothed man and Awang sat side by side in a row, chatting all the way, while Jin Xi sat in the back and squinted her eyes to listen, only to realize that the white-clothed man, if he didn't say anything, would be a chatterbox once he opened the chat box , with a Beijing accent.

In Jin Xi's consciousness, he tends to prefer men who are quiet and quiet, so that they appear stable, such as Sun Erhu, such as Wen Ding, especially don't like to speak with a Beijing accent, maybe it's because he is a southerner!
Therefore, during the fifteen-mile journey, Jin Xi didn't say a word, didn't interject a word, as if there was no one in the carriage behind.In the end, he simply dozed off.In front, the man in white is still having an affair with Awang, chatting all over the place...

Finally, Lingbao, who was trotting aside, pointed to the Xiaochun counter not far from the left side of the official road, and excitedly said to the man in white: "Master, Hu Village is here."

Awang slowly stopped the carriage towards the side of the official road, Jin Xi also opened her eyes and stretched herself.

"I used to have a nanny who nursed me until I was three years old. Later, I went back to my hometown to get married, and I married in this Hu village. Later, I sent a letter to the capital, asking me to come here, and I must go to her house to play! Girls, everyone , let's part ways here, thank you for taking a ride today!" Hua Naozi was helped out of the carriage by Lingbao, and he did not forget to turn his head towards the carriage and said with a smile.
