Chapter 186 I got along well with that hunter
next day
As soon as the sky was getting light, Biao Biao and his group set off. There was no inn in the mountains, so he asked He Kuang to lead the three of them on horseback to explore the way ahead, calculate the time it would take for the carriage to arrive until dark, and then find a suitable place to camp nearby.
"Dong Quan, in your opinion, how many days will it take to get out of this mountain?" Yang Biao lifted the curtain and asked Dong Quan who was guarding his carriage.
"My lady is pregnant, and my master needs to gather those dye herbs. I think we can leave the mountain in about five days." He would not even need to spend a whole day on horseback, but he did not dare to say so.
"Yang...husband," Xia Weiwei was about to talk to him, but he gave her a warning look. She immediately realized that her address was wrong, and changed her words out of a strong desire to survive.
"Hey, isn't that madder?" Yang Biao quickly asked Ji Lang to stop the car, as he wanted to go down and dig madder.
Yang Biao dug out the madder and saw that its rhizomes were tuberous and had roots of varying thicknesses. He asked his men to help dig, and he stuffed a large pile of madder into several large cloth bags, whispering, "Weiwei, let me tell you, this is a good red dye."
"Sir, I've heard of this name before." Hong Ling has been with Xia Weiwei for several years and knows that this is actually a traditional Chinese medicine. "Rubia, cools blood, removes blood stasis, stops bleeding, and regulates menstruation. The root is cylindrical, slightly curved, and the surface is reddish-brown with fine longitudinal wrinkles and a few fine root marks."
"Oh, you're awesome." Xia Weiwei looked at Yang Biao, and they smiled at each other.
"Put it on the carriage shed to dry," Yang Biao asked his men to put the madder on six carriage sheds to dry, but did not put the madder in the carriage Xia Weiwei was riding in.
"You see, Dong Quan and that hunter seem to be getting along quite well." Xia Weiwei patted Yang Biao and asked him to go and look at the two men.
Yang Biao suddenly remembered a joke, such a tight feeling of relaxation.
"Don't think too much. Everything depends on your husband." It must be said that it took a very short time for more than 40 strong men to dig up these herbs. He carried Xia Weiwei to the car and let everyone continue on their way.
"Master, after we get down the mountain, the territory of Wumu County is just ahead." Moreover, after they had scoured the area, Yang Biao sent sixteen people to clear mines in front of them in order to prevent Xia Weiwei from encountering bandits. The pregnant woman did not see any bloodshed on the way up the mountain.
But it's hard to say about the county town. Although my cars were all newly bought before I set out, they were all very simple. They were not carved with flowers or inlaid with gold or silver like those of wealthy families. They should not be in the eyes of those bandits.
As it gradually darkened, Yang Biao and his group chose an inn with average decoration in Wumu County to stay in.
"Zhu Zi, is that you?" Yang Biao and Xia Weiwei were eating in the room when they heard a female voice calling Pu Zhuzi in surprise.
"Husband," Xia Weiwei winked at him. She had said that this person's origins were unknown, but he just turned a deaf ear to her.
"Eat." Yang Biao picked up some food for her and fed her a big mouthful of rice. He didn't care whether Puzhuzi was reliable or not. To him, it was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks to eat.
After finishing his meal, Yang Biao was walking in the staircase corridor and saw Pu Zhuzi arguing with a person dressed as a woman.
"Dong Quan, who is that woman?" Yang Biao looked up and saw Dong Quan standing on the second floor looking down at every move between Pu Zhuzi and the woman.
"Master, he told me that she was a sister from the same village." Dong Quan walked to Yang Biao's side, his eyes occasionally looking towards Pu Zhuzi.
"But I see that you don't seem to believe what Pu Zhuzi said. Why?" Yang Biao shook his head. It was obvious that the two of them had a close relationship.
"Master, Pu Zhuzi looks very much like my deceased brother Dong Yi." Dong Quan bit his lower lip with his teeth, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.
"Oh, let's go!" Yang Biao pulled him aside, looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I originally wanted to take him to the capital to serve the master together and find a good place for the future of our descendants." Dong Quan looked in the direction of Pu Zhuzi, but now he decided to give up. "Tomorrow morning, I will not let him go with the master."
"He looks like your brother. This is also a kind of fate. Leave some money to him. It can be regarded as completing this fate." Yang Biao took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his sleeve pocket and asked him to pass it on to Pu Zhuzi.
"Master, that's not necessary. I have money on me," Dong Quan hurriedly pushed away his hand holding the banknote and refused to take it.
"Okay then," seeing that he insisted on not taking it, Yang Biao took back the banknote, patted him on the shoulder, and went straight to Xia Weiwei's room.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Xia Weiwei saw him reading a book but didn't turn the page for a long time.
"It's okay. I just wonder why two people who are not related by blood look so similar. Many brothers don't look alike." Yang Biao sighed that the creation of nature is so magical and amazing.
"You slut, you actually dared to cheat on me. I'm going to beat you to death." Just as Yang Biao was sighing at the omnipotence of the Creator, there was another noise downstairs.
"Madam, please stay in the house and embroider. I'm going to join in the fun." Since he couldn't concentrate on reading anyway, it would be nice to go out and watch the show of catching an adulterer and an adulteress, and it didn't cost any money.
"Dai Yu, Lu Gang, Wu Tong, the four of you protect the lady." With the previous experience, Yang Biao would send someone to guard the night no matter if he lived in a cave or an inn. He also did not forget to leave someone to watch over Xia Weiwei before going to the theater, and his safety awareness was overflowing.
"Boss, stop hitting me. I know I was wrong." The voice sounded familiar, so Yang Biao quickly walked down the stairs.
"You slut, I've only been away for a few days and you couldn't stand the loneliness so you started flirting with other girls." The man punched the woman on the head again, causing her to scream in pain again.
No wonder it sounds familiar. Isn’t she the woman who was pulling the cattail pillar before?
"Don't hit Xiu'er. If you have anything to say, come to me." Pu Zhuzi couldn't help it. He didn't want to see the person he liked getting beaten.
"I'm coming for you," the man shook off the hand that was grabbing Xiu'er's hair, and Xiu'er was thrown directly to the ground. However, when the man rushed to the tall cattail pillar, he was very timid, and he didn't dare to hit with his raised fist.
"Hey, this guy is so useless. The adulterer and the adulteress are right in front of him, but he doesn't even dare to fart. He is so useless. Let's go. I'm angry just looking at them. Let's go drink." You see, the ability of the ancient people to stir up trouble is no less than that of modern people.
"Yeah, this guy is really useless. I should have just killed myself by hitting my head against the wall a long time ago to avoid the embarrassment."
"Hey, this adulterer is tall and a woman. As long as you are not blind, you will like her!"
"That guy is not bad looking, but a little short."
"Oh, Qu Liniang, sure, as long as you're a man, it's fine, right?"
This remark caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.
"You're such a jerk, Zhang Laizi. You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I'll tear your stinky mouth apart!" Zhang Laizi spoke shamelessly, which made Qu Li'niang so angry that she pounced on Zhang Laizi and scratched his face.
