forty six(1/2)
The old fairy smiled and called Xiao Yi over. Xiao Yi was also very sensible. Before he arrived, he jumped out of the car, gently pulled the reins, and walked over slowly. Of course, this is also a kind of respect for others! The old fairy smiled and narrowed his eyes and said to the man,
"Brother Bai, there are two more in the car. The three of them are my friends and are definitely not bad people. I dare to use them, use my personal reputation as a guarantee, please..."
When the old fairy said this, his hand had reached the other person's waist. The other person smiled happily at him and waved to him.
"Old fairy, we do business, so I offended you!"
The old fairy smiled,
"I understand, understand, please, Brother Bai, please!"
Xiao Yi gently pulled the rope, and Tong Lu and Lan Yu lifted the curtain of the car! The other party came over to check, one of them lay beside the car, stretched his head in and took a simple look, then turned around and replied,
"One man and one woman, there is nothing in the car!"
The other person touched him casually outside the car and soon came over to report his life.
The one who was called Brother Bai by the old fairy just waved his hand lightly and said,
"Well, go, go. Be careful when crossing the river!"
Xiao Yi didn't expect that it was so easy. He was stunned for a moment, then grinned again, and said to those people,
"Thank you brothers!"
The big brother Bai pointed at the bridge and replied to him with a smile.
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
The old fairy said a few more words to the big brother Bai. The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, and they seemed to be very familiar! Xiao Yi led the horse and headed to the river. He noticed that the fleet of cars and horses he wanted to pass before were still investigated. Xiao Yi of course understood that they did not give money, or they gave too little money, so they were embarrassed! Xiao Yi could of course understand that they had been sticking to this place for a long time. Although it seemed safe now, they could not be guaranteed.
One day he would suddenly lose his life! Besides, when will the food and wages promised by the court be sufficient? Many times, he has to rely on himself to do it! This is actually quite good, at least he doesn’t have to look at others’ eyes anymore, just be afraid. The court came to get another kick and wanted to take the money away! Lan Yu lay by the window and waved to the soldiers. Those people actually responded. These soldiers were not indifferent!
Xiao Yi had already pulled the horse to the edge of the bridge. It was a semi-floating bridge, made of rows of wooden boards, and long poles on both sides were inserted into the water, giving the support of these wooden boards! The bridge looked not very strong. As soon as Xiao Yi stepped on it, the bridge shook and made a slight sound, as if it would fall apart at any time! Xiao Yi tried again, and after stepping on it, it was still quite solid. He pulled the horse forward, and the horse was very resistant. However, after really stepping on it, it quickly adapted and dragged the carriage forward slowly. The carriage came onto the bridge, and the sound was even more cheerful. Lan Yu listened and was very excited and shouted!
Tong Lu laughed back to her,
"I said to Miss Lan, please be careful. We are just sneaking away, so don't collapse the bridge again!"
Lan Yu laughed and replied,
"It would be fun if the bridge was really knocked down!"
Suddenly, a wooden board broke, raised one side, brought a lot of river water, and some water droplets sprinkled on Lan Yu's face! The car body shook, but it quickly stabilized again. When Lan Yu saw it, he kept laughing again.
"Oh, why am I so powerful? I can still shake this bridge apart!"
Xiao Yi was speechless, she would stick gild on her face! Tong Lu was about to speak, but he heard the old fairy speak.
"Haha, this bridge has only been built for so long, it's so bad. I can't stand it! Hey, you two, you better get out of the car. Otherwise, the car is too heavy and it's not great if the bridge is really crushed!"
He was naturally talking to Tong Lu and Lan Yu. When Lan Yu heard this, he patted his head and replied,
"Oh, really, it's great to get off the bus and play in the water!"
Before she finished speaking, she jumped out of the car and shook it all the way. The bridge was really not stable! However, for Lan Yu, she was like finding a treasure, running around and running around, and she was really a little baby who had not grown up! Tong Lu didn't want to fall into the water, so he followed Lan Yu out of the car, and the two walked to the front to guide everyone!
The old fairy chased after him, side by side with Xiao Yi, and then said with a smile,
"This girl is really interesting!"
Xiao Yi smiled and replied to him.
"Well, she can always find happiness!"
The old fairy said again,
"Hey, there are not many such girls!"
Xiao Yi asked the old fairy,
"Hey, old fairy, how much did it cost to cross the bridge!"
The old fairy smiled but didn't say anything, but still kept paying attention to Lan Yu's movements! After a while, he reacted and asked back,
"Hey, what did you say just now?"
Xiao Yi thought to himself, looking at this guy's eyes, could he have some thoughts about Lan Yu? Xiao Yi was unwilling to explain, and asked the question just now.
"How much did it cost to cross the bridge?"
The old fairy heard it clearly this time and replied,
"Just a few taels of silver are nothing, nothing! You guys don't have to be polite to me. I can still afford this little money!"
A few taels of silver are also a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but in the eyes of the old fairy, it is nothing. Haha, this guy seems to be really rich! Hey, looking back, it is naturally the result of this money to be able to cross the bridge so easily!
Xiao Yi replied to him,
"If this is the case, you'll spend money!"
The old fairy smiled and replied,
"You're welcome, you're welcome! Besides, we often come and go. If this bridge is broken, we naturally have to spend money to rectify it!"
Xiao Yi smiled and replied to him.
"Ha, if everyone is like you, old fairy, then these soldiers won't make a fortune!"
The old fairy answered,
"You can't say that, you think, every time you encounter heavy water, the bridge will be washed away. If it is built again, isn't it time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive? It's understandable to recycle it a little!"
Xiao Yi smiled and nodded his head. The old fairy's eyes were still wandering on Lan Yu. At this time, he approached Xiao Yi a little closer and asked in a low voice.
"I said Xiao Yi, this girl Lan Yu is not your good friend, right?!"
Xiao Yi replied to him,
"Of course not. We are just ordinary friends, old fairy, what do you think about this?!"
The old fairy kept chuckling in her mouth, laughing so happily, and said,
"I don't have any ideas, but I just admire her!"
Xiao Yi is also a man, so how could he not understand his thoughts? What's more, he has already spoken so bluntly! The old fairy was so happy, but it's hard to say whether he has the ability to win Lan Yu's heart! However, Xiao Yi still has some ideas about this old fairy from the bottom of his heart. After all, it's hard to make people feel at ease with him, even now, Xiao Yi still cares about him!
Xiao Yi didn't want to talk to him about Lan Yu anymore, so he asked some other questions.
"Old fairy, I always want to ask you, you are not old, why do others call you Old fairy?!"
The old fairy squinted her eyes and smiled, but the look was still on Lan Yu. He heard his answer.
"This old word is the honorable title of my friends! Hello, Xiao Yi, do you know what this girl Lan Yu likes on weekdays?"
This guy turned the topic back to Lan Yu. It seems that he really became very interested in Lan Yu! Xiao Yi smiled helplessly and replied to him,
"I have known her for a while, so I don't know much about this! Oh, by the way, she seems to have fallen in love with drinking. Maybe you can put some effort into this point!"
The old fairy frowned and felt embarrassed, and said,
"My alcohol capacity is not small, but compared to her, it is much worse. From this point of view, I am afraid I am willing and powerless!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"I'm asking her to eat fine wine, not asking you to accompany her to eat as much as you want. You're thinking too much! However, Lan Yu's ability to eat wine is really useful. Think about it, if there are social events in the future, bring her with me, and get drunk, will it be easier to do anything!"
The old fairy was so happy that she replied,
"Yes, yes, Xiao Yi, your statement is exactly what I want, just right!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yi heard the car body suddenly and the old fairy heard it, and immediately turned around and looked back. Xiao Yi thought, maybe it was because Rosa couldn't hold on anymore, so he made a sound! Xiao Yi didn't think much about it, and raised his legs and kicked the wheel on the left side of the car, and said,
"This broken car is really useless. It's so far away, it keeps ringing!"
After hearing this, the old fairy turned her head back!
Looking at Lan Yu and Tong Lu, they have already reached the other side. This bridge is not long, so it will not take long to pass from here! The defenders on both sides are also very clear about its role. Of course, the two sides have reached a tacit understanding and will never go to each other's territory. This bridge provides convenience for merchants who come and go, and of course, it also brings considerable benefits to them! Why don't the other person who collects money on the other side come?
Tong Lu and Lan Yu were complacent and laughing non-stop, but two horsemen suddenly appeared behind them, and soon heard the sound of horse hooves. When the two looked back, they were scared and immediately returned to the bridge and came to Xiao Yi and Lao Xian'er!
The old fairy said with a smile,
"Not afraid or not. If they collect the money, they will naturally let us leave!"
The other party is coming in full force, and the curved sabers are dancing in the air! They are about to come to their eyes in the blink of an eye, and the knife is greeting you in the head. Are you afraid? Oh, this is not a way to entertain guests, it is simply to intimidate! The other party rode to the bridge and stood on both sides. The sabers were slightly put away, and then turned around and looked at Xiao Yi and the others! The two of them were dressed very differently from those of the Song people.
The leather protective gear he wore showed his wild side! The two faces were black and their skin was very rough. I think they were sunbathed outside for many years, so they became like this! Look at the long black hair, tied into many braids, draped on their shoulders, and the chest might be wolf teeth, which is a proof of their courage and strength! Moreover, these two people showed fierce appearances, and the timid people would be scared if they saw it!
The old fairy took the lead and said something that several people could not understand at all! Ouch, Xiao Yi immediately understood that he was speaking Khitan dialect, but he had never touched it before, so he naturally couldn't understand it! Of course, being able to speak Khitan dialect is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is naturally silver! The old fairy smiled and gently placed the broken silver on the other party's spreading sabre, and took a respectful step back! The other party put the knife away and took it.
They lived in silver and put it in their arms. The two sides looked at each other again, said another word, and then rode away again. These two people came in a hurry and left again, so it was so easy! The two of them didn't even look at the carriages of several people. In comparison, the Song army had to be much more regular! However, thinking about it, the Song people had already checked it carefully, and there was no need for them to check it again!
The two of them were really riding. Soon, they disappeared from the sight of several people, and the group finally set foot on the territory of the Khitans!
Xiao Yi looked at the ashes rising into the air and couldn't help but say a word,
"The Khitans really grew up on horseback!"
The old fairy replied,
"That's right, they have been riding horses since they were young. If there is a boy from any family who can't ride horses, hell, they will be looked down upon. It will be difficult for him to ask for a woman in the future!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
