Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen No One Goes

Ding Hao shared a room with Xue Liang and Feng Dazhang. At night, they asked for hot water to burn their feet before going to bed.Today the entire inn was full, so the kang was really burning, and when I lay down on the sore body, the heat from the fire penetrated into the bones, and it relieved my fatigue very much.But when it came time to sleep, Ding Hao even felt like crying. It turned out that Feng Dazhangbian's snoring was really too loud. In fact, Sao Zhuer also snored, but compared with Feng Dazhangbian, it was really nothing.Not only did Feng Da's whip beat the heavens and the earth and make ghosts and gods weep, but also the snoring sound was like singing, each snoring was not in the same key, fluctuating high and low, thick and thin, so Ding Hao originally planned to wait for the snoring The idea of ​​falling asleep when you are tired of listening is also dispelled.

Tomorrow morning he has to go on his way, so it's not a good idea to carry on all night with staring eyes like this, Ding Hao sat up worriedly.As soon as he moved, Sao Zhuer whispered: Why, you can't sleep either? Ding Hao was taken aback: You haven't slept yet? The two fell silent, and they both burst out laughing. After a while, Sao Zhuer whispered: How about I wake up Uncle Feng?Let him change his posture, maybe the movement can be quieter. No, Uncle Feng is also working hard, so don't call him that.As Ding Hao spoke, he began to put on his clothes rustlingly, and Sao Zhuer asked in a low voice: What are you doing?

Ding Hao said: With such a big noise, I really can't sleep. I'll go out and look around to see if I can find a place to sleep. Ding Hao went out of the house with the bedroll in his arms, the kang was still warm, but after leaving the house, it was very cold in the middle of the night, so how could he have a place to sleep?Ding Hao wandered around the courtyard for a while with his bedding in his arms, and saw that there were many stools beside the aisle from the restaurant in the front to the guest rooms in the back. Is this enough for one night?No way, if someone comes in and out at night and sees someone lying here upright, wouldn't it scare them?Besides, it's too cold here, and I'll get cold after one night.

In desperation, Ding Hao walked back with his bedding in his arms, and when he reached the corridor, a figure came out suddenly, and when they met each other, they were both startled.Taking a closer look at the red lantern in the corridor, that person was the young man with peach blossom eyes whom he had seen during dinner. The man said: Heh, what are you doing in the middle of the night, you startled me. Ding Hao laughed dryly and said: The buddy in the same room snores too loudly, I can't sleep, can't you? The man giggled: You're quite particular, why don't you just tear off the corners of the quilt and get some cotton to plug your ears?Go out and make do with one night.I think the house smells bad, and those who ran out to use the toilet, it’s so cold here, they’re almost freezing, so I have to go back to the house to warm up, see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.After the two greeted each other, the man left in a hurry. Ding Hao went back to the house, quietly tore off the corner of the quilt according to his method, pulled out two small balls of cotton and stuffed them into his ears. The snoring was really quiet, at least not So unbearable.He hastened to tell Sang Zhuer this method, and the two of them were reluctant, and finally got confused. Just before dawn, Feng Dazhang whip woke up energetically, and he also aroused Ding Hao and Xue Liang, and asked with great concern: Did you sleep well last night? The two yawned and got up, looked at each other with wry smiles, but said in their mouths: It's okay, the kang is warm and comfortable, but they are not sleeping well when they are away from home.

Ha ha, just get used to it.The owner of this shop is a kind person, why would I choose his shop to live in?It's good to live comfortably, get up quickly, tidy up and eat quickly, we still have to hurry. Washing in ancient times was more troublesome than in modern times, because men also had to comb and tie their hair.In this era, there is already soap, which is made of goat oil and plant ash. It has a good cleaning effect, but it is too rough, has a bad feel, and has no fragrance, so ordinary people use it to wash their faces, and poorer people simply use rice water. . Wealthier families still use soap locusts, algae beans, or soap beads to make washing products.Fat bead is also a kind of plant seed, which is fatter than saponins and algae beans, so it is called soap after it is made into a paste, which has the same name as the soap used in modern times.The more advanced soap is a liquid made from a mixture of peas and vanilla, which is the cleaning product for wealthy families.

There are also toothbrushes, which are said to have been passed down from the Tartars in the north, but once they arrive in the Central Plains, their craftsmanship is more exquisite than that of the Tartars.The style of the toothbrush is very similar to modern toothbrushes, except that the bristles are not nylon, but pig bristles.There are dozens of tooth powders for brushing teeth, all of which are made of various Chinese herbal medicines, each with different effects of cleaning teeth, refreshing fragrance, and strengthening teeth.But Feng Dazhangbian and Ding Hao couldn't afford it. They all brushed their teeth with a toothbrush dipped in green salt foam.

Ding Hao was bending over to brush his teeth in the yard. Miss Ding walked in neatly, holding a horsewhip and dressed as a man. When she saw Ding Hao, she smiled slightly and said, "Dumb, is Feng Dazhang whipped?" Ding Hao quickly rinsed his mouth, got up and said: "Get up, we are going to find the eldest lady right away when we are about to eat something." Ding Yuluo said: I have never brought so many people with me when I went out before, and Deacon Liu and the others don't have much experience. Thanks to Feng's hand, I had too many things to settle last night, so I ignored Mr. Feng. Just come to see him, along the way, the old man needs to give more pointers.

The two of them were talking, when a door opened with a bang, and a young man rushed out, with five bright red fingerprints on his left face, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Shopkeeper, storekeeper, come out quickly!" , My master's things are lost. Many people in the yard were washing their hands, and they all looked at him in astonishment when they heard the sound, only to see that this person was wearing small clothes, not yet fully dressed, with a frightened expression on his face, and then another person came out of the room, this person had big ears and eyebrows. Ru Chongmo was the middle-aged man who ate in the restaurant last night, his clothes were not neatly dressed, his arms were grinning, and his face was covered with dark clouds, as if even a strong wind could not blow them away.

After hearing the news, the manager of the store hurried over and asked, "Guest officer, what did you lose?" Before he finished speaking, the young man grabbed him by the collar and shouted angrily, "Your store is still clean. Why are you so small? My master's important things are gone. As the owner , can not get rid of the relationship. The shop owner's surname is Qiu, Qiu Laoshi, and he is indeed a loyal and honest person. When he heard this, he panicked, and hurriedly said: "Oh, little guest officer, you can't talk nonsense."My small shop is run on a small budget. It is just a place to eat and sleep for the guests who come from north to south. You can take care of your own things. It took only one night. I don't know what was lost and what was lost, and I can't bear the responsibility

Hey, you left it clean, there is no way, you can't get your things back, you old bastard has to go to prison! Just as we were talking here, Feng Dazhang came out of the house. Ding Yuluo casually glanced at the two masters and servants who were arguing with the shopkeeper, met Feng Dazhang, clasped his fists and said, "Master Feng, these days are not good enough!" Thanks a lot.After breakfast in a while, I have to trouble the old man to help me get it together. The sooner we can go on the road, the better. Hehe, what Lao Feng eats is this bowl of rice, not to mention hard work, the boss has orders, just call someone to come and inform, how dare you work hard, I will go to Zhang Luo in a while. stop!The middle-aged man suddenly spoke sullenly, looking at his eyes, there was a faint redness: before I find my things, who would dare to leave?Everyone in this store, leave them all to me! Deacon Liu, who was following Ding Yuluo, sneered at the words: You lost something, what the hell are you doing to us?If you say you are not allowed to leave, you are not allowed to leave?What a god fart, what a big air, missed our family's major event, cut you up and sold you, and you can't get back the capital. The middle-aged man was very sullen, before he could speak, the little boy who was waiting on him had already stepped forward, pointed at Liu Shiyi and shouted: "Presumptuous!"You are such a brave dog!My master is Linqing county lieutenant, he took office immediately, but his official seal was taken away in this thief's shop, what a big deal it is?No matter how important your business is, it is more important than my master?Until the official seal is retrieved, everyone will inevitably be responsible, and you all stay there honestly, and whoever dares to leave will be a guilty conscience. When Ding Yuluo heard this, he almost broke out in a sweat. The county lieutenant is an official second only to the magistrate of a county. Got it?It is true that the Ding family is powerful, and the local officials also give face, but does this mean that they can override the local officials?Since the other party is Linqing county lieutenant, he might not be able to forcefully leave. If the official seal cannot be found for a while, is the Ding family food team trapped in this Qingshui town? The county lieutenant was really in a hurry. Losing his official seal was a major event, and it was a major event that was not easy to publicize. Come.This time, he couldn't hide it. He must have lost face before he took office, but it was about his own future, and he couldn't care less about it at this time. He put his mind to one side and said solemnly: "Liu Xiao, you Take my letter and go to call the elders of the township and ask them to bring some strong people here to maintain order, and then rush to Linqing County to report the situation to the county lord, and ask him to send everyone with a headband The squad is fast, come here to catch the thief and ask the case. The servant next to the county lieutenant agreed, and ran out like flying. After a while, the local village chief Baozheng, household head, township scribe and other small officials heard that the county lieutenant had lost his official seal here. As if on fire, he led a group of eagerly summoned people to run here, and the water around the Changfeng Tavern was blocked.
