Xiangye

Chapter 139
Early in the morning of the second day, Shi Youyi had already packed her luggage.

After they had breakfast, they immediately found the owner of the house they were renting and refunded the rent. Then they leisurely walked towards the inn where Daying, Xiaoying and others were staying.

Hearing that Gao Wen and Shi Youyi were leaving, the neighbor's wives all came to see them off.We lived together for such a long time, and the several women had deep feelings, holding hands and talking for a long time.

Gao Wen was not in a hurry, he just waited beside him.

"Mr. Gao Shi, you live well. Where are you going? Can you come back?"

Shi Youyi: "This is to go home to pick up my mother, and I will live in Xi'an for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

"Hey, let's go now, I really don't want to part with it."

Shi Youyi's eyes were slightly red: "I also miss you all. If you hadn't taken care of me these days, I... I don't know how to get through it... Don't worry, if I have time in the future, I will definitely come back to see you. My husband promised Thanks to all the neighbors after the fame, please accept this ingot and have a drink. My husband and I have important things to do, so we won’t accompany you.”

"Hey, what money are you talking about at this time, my wife, I feel very sad, how can I eat and drink?"

……

Seeing everyone's reluctance to leave, Gao Wen was grateful.

When women are together, they have endless things to say.Gao Wen didn't urge him, anyway, if Xu Zhen wanted to intervene in this case, he would definitely send someone over to call him over.If he were Mr. Xu, the first thing to do was to immediately take soldiers and horses to Hancheng, surround Meijiazhuang, arrest Huang Wei and a group of criminals, and take a statement.As long as there is evidence in hand, the next thing will be easy to handle.It's just that Han Cheng and Huang Wei are used as a breakthrough point, and they follow the vines all the way to make an iron case, and then report it to the court.

Gao Wen was not in a hurry, but the handle of the carriage that had already been hired was impatient, and he couldn't help but bowed his hands to Gao Wen and Shi Youyi: "Master, madam, the sun has risen so high these days, there is still a long way to go , This... If this delays any longer, I'm afraid there will be a delay on the way."

Only then did Shi Youyi bid farewell to the neighbors, and went to the inn with Gao Wen.

As soon as they arrived at the ground, they saw Da Ying and Xiao Ying with four men who had already packed their luggage and stood at the door looking around.

When they came up to them, Xiaoying sneered and said: "Mr. Gao, it seems that you don't want to go to Xi'an with me. You agreed to leave early in the morning, but you couldn't wait for a long time. I thought you regretted it." , not a real man."

Gao Wen smiled slightly and said, "I'm used to getting up, and I just came to look for your master and apprentice when I got up. Big man, Jibu Yinuo, a thousand dollars is not easy. Since you have an appointment with someone, you have many doubts, but you It's despised."

"You!" Xiaoying's eyes bulged, and he was about to scold again.

Big Eagle shouted: "Little Eagle, don't talk about it, it's also a joke, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Gao." His apprentice is an honest boy, how can he quarrel with scholars.

Kitty Hawk didn't speak, but stared at Gao Wen fiercely.

Gao Wen laughed: "No, no, it's getting late, we should go too. By the way, Yun Butou, how should we go this way?"

Daying: "Naturally, take the water route, along the Jingshui River, pass through Jingzhou to Binxian, Chunhua, and Jingyang, and then turn west to Xianyang."

"It's safe to go by water at this time." Gao Wen asked for a long time before he said, "Oh, it's not the flood season yet, it's not bad, it's comfortable to take a boat, very good."

Xiaoying was annoyed when he heard it, Gao Wendong asked this question, it was almost bossy, but he didn't look like a prisoner.Instead, he became the leader of everyone, but Master respected him so much that it was unbearable.

Seeing that he was about to explode, Gao Wen nodded: "That's right, let's go!"

Shi Youyi covered her mouth with her hands again, as if she wanted to cry.

Gao Wen sighed, held her hand, and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't cry, it's fine. How can I feel relieved when you look like this?"

Shi Youyi: "I don't cry, I don't cry." But the tears still flowed down: "I cried for myself, but I have already walked this road well, so you don't have to worry about it."

The two waved goodbye at the pier, and parted ways in boats and carriages.

Although Mr. Xu had nothing to say, Gao Wen was not worried. He was sure that Xu Xuan would never let go of this good opportunity.So, he let go of his heart and drank and talked with all the arresters of the Criminal Division along the way, talking about martial arts, and he was happy.

Xiaoying was young and energetic, obviously disliked Gao Wen, and was quite indifferent on weekdays, so let him go.Daying used to be a high-flyer who roamed the rivers and lakes, so he agrees with Gao Wen.He only talked about intentionally or unintentionally mentioning the robbery of the military vehicle, how could Gao Wen let him get involved, and immediately changed the topic.Talking to this kind of old man is quite tiring, and you have to raise your spirits to deal with it.

One evening, the boat sailed to the boundary of Jingyang.This is the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, and there are open fields along the way. In this era, the Jingshui River is open, and boats on the river are constantly coming and going, which is very lively.The sky is not completely dark yet, but a huge bright moon has appeared in the eastern sky, and there are a few stars faintly in the distance, which seems to mean that the stars are hanging down, the field is wide, and the moon is surging and the river is flowing.

This is already the most quintessential fertile place in Shaanxi, but it is not comparable to the bitter cold places like Pingliang and Yan'an.Seeing the boats and boats filling the river, everyone was filled with joy.

Gawain felt dizzy after sitting on this bumpy wooden sailboat for a few days.In his previous life, he was a southerner, and he was also used to taking boats.But after crossing, his body was that of a northerner, and he was a little seasick.Seeing the situation in front of him, his spirits were greatly lifted: "It can be considered that we are going to the end of the land, hurry up, stay in the city tonight, and have a good sleep."

Daying: "Mr. Gao, it's about twenty miles away from Jingyang. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the city before dark. Let's stay here." He said that although there is no village here, it is a deep water The bay is backed by water and can shelter from the wind.The boatmen who missed Sutou will berth here, and the nearby village boatmen will take advantage of the opportunity to make rice wine from the rice and vegetables, and sell it to merchants.There are even private prostitutes who come with the boat and start a flesh and blood business.

"Ah, there are still twenty miles left!" Gawain felt a headache at the thought of sleeping on the swaying boat for the night.

Most of the arrests in the Criminal Division handle major and important cases, and they also get a lot of rewards and bonuses on weekdays. They have a lot of money, so they ask a small boat from a distance to row over and ask him to sell some wine and cut some meat to benefit from.

The boat was small, only ten feet long, and a small shed was built.There is a stove on the bow of the boat, and there is an iron pot on it, and there are fish in it that are gurgling and steaming.Only a middle-aged man saw that there was a business coming, so he hurriedly filled the pot of fish and brought it along with a jar of rice wine.

This middle-aged man was quite burly, with a fierce look on his face.But the cooking skills are excellent, and the fish in that pot is so fresh that it will bite off your tongue.After eating only two mouthfuls, everyone applauded and saw the reward.

After drinking a bowl of wine and eating some fish, Gao Wen's dizzy head felt better.Suddenly thinking of the situation when I ate boiled fish with my colleagues in Shanghai, I felt a burst of emotion in my heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise coming from the top of the head, and then a little white thing fell down, just pouring into the pot of rain meat.Looking up, it was a few crows that were attracted by the fish, and excreted the filth into everyone's dinner.

Everyone was furious, and they all cursed: "Damn plague, it's just a disappointment."

Hearing everyone scolding, those flat-haired beasts were not afraid, and they yelled more happily on the top of the mast.

Gao Wen felt depressed after being seasick, he couldn't help but jumped up, pulled the slingshot, and shot a crow down with a "swoosh".

Seeing that their companion was shot down, the other crows were shocked and flew up.

It was too late, but soon, Gao Wen's second iron ball pierced through the air, knocking the other end down in mid-air.

But he saw two beasts on the deck without convulsions, obviously they couldn't survive.Gao Wen looked at it intently, surprised in his heart: This crow is as big as the ground, at least one catty, which is rare.

"True shot!"

"Okay!" Seeing Gao Wenxiao showing his hand and remembering his methods during the fierce battle that night, all the arresting officers were shocked and respectful, and couldn't help applauding in unison.

The boatman's expression also changed, and he said: "The guest officer is really handsome!"

Satisfied, Gao Wen cupped his hands: "Show your ugliness, show your ugliness. This pot of fish meat has already been polluted. Boatman, there is still some meat from these two big crows together. Why don't we stew it into one pot and have it right for our dinner."

The boatman said with a smile: "This crow meat is thick and astringent, what can I eat?"

"That's right, that's right, you can't eat this stuff." All the arresters shouted one after another: "Boater, get a few more fish to do it again, and you'll have to pay for it."

The middle-aged man said with a bitter face: "It's hard, it's almost dark. Whenever someone catches fish, they have either bought them in the city or already put them in the pot. At this time, if they want to catch a few more, there is no one left." possible."

"Could it be that you're still hungry? What a useless thing!" A policeman named Gong Si was furious, reaching out to grab Gao Wen's slingshot.

Gawain withdrew his hand, and the grasp was in vain.

Gong Si: "Gao Wen, with your slingshot, I'll go to the reeds in front and you can hunt some waterfowl to eat. I saw wild ducks and egrets over there earlier."

This is his own self-defense weapon, how can he give it to others.Gao Wen said indifferently: "What if I refuse? Besides, do you have the accuracy, or I will go."

During this journey, Gao Wen got along well with the policemen.Apart from Xiaoying and this Gongsi, it's fine that Xiaoying is a sophomore.But this Gong Er looked at Gao Wen with obvious hostility, which made Gao Wen a little puzzled.

Gong Si: "You go? If you are a criminal in custody, if you escape, we will have no way to explain to your superiors."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when the middle-aged boatman smiled and said, "It's too late to hunt waterfowl now, and the hunt is uncertain. It will be dark soon, and we won't be able to find prey at all. But I have an idea." , I want everyone to eat hot and delicious food."
