Chapter 38
The dirty girl was wearing a coarse linen and a headscarf on her forehead, dressed like a widow, pointing to the carriage parked in front of her, probably because of her nervousness and stuttering:
"Fight and robbery."
Yu Qingshi lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the woman who was stuttering.
She has a slim figure, with a lot of mud on her nails and face, dirty, wearing a coarse linen, a headscarf wrapped around her head, and dressed like a little widow.
"Are you going to rob me?"
Yu Qingshi smiled. He didn't expect to meet a robber. He thought this girl was the victim, but he didn't expect to rob himself. Who gave you the courage.
The girl shook her head, kept gasping for breath, and said, "No, I am not going to rob you, they are going to rob me, they are going to rob me, they are going to rob me, I beg my son to save me."
"Nonsense." A strong man pointed at the widow with a machete in his hand, "You little girl, are you going to make a fuss?"
"It seems that the story is not simple." Yu Qingshi looked like a melon-eating expression.
A strong man said, "Young Master, you judge. We are all people who are invited by the local landlords to guard the melon fields. The landlord has planted a lot of sweet potatoes in the melon fields. Unexpectedly, this woman came to steal sweet potatoes. We planned to capture her and hand it over to the landlord to send her back. Who knew that this woman ran so fast and almost let her run away. Young Master, do you think we should catch her back?"
Yu Qingshi looked at the woman: "You have hands and feet, why do you steal other people's sweet potatoes?"
"I didn't steal." The woman's face was full of grievance, her eyes were watery, and tears mixed with rain remained. She cried and said, "I didn't steal, I really didn't steal."
"You woman is full of lies. I saw you steal with my own eyes, and he even made a quibble."
The woman was full of grievance and cried, "I really didn't steal it. Young Master, please be a witness. I will ask them to take off my clothes now. If I could find a sweet potato on me, I would hit and die here on the spot."
"Okay, please give me a witness. I will start searching now."
The strong man came over and stretched out his hand but couldn't start. After all, men and women were not allowed to kiss each other. He sighed and said:
"I can't defile the innocent girl's innocence, so I'd better ask the girl to go back with us and ask the maid to search her body. If you are innocent, we will definitely apologize. Please let the young master come with us and help us be a witness so that she will not slander us."
Yu Qingshi said: "Sorry, I have something to do, so I can't go with you."
"I'm just a few sweet potatoes, aren't it just a few sweet potatoes? I'll pay you." Wujinqi threw out a ingot of gold and went to the strong men and said, "This gold is enough to buy your sweet potatoes. She is ours, you can leave."
Several strong men looked at the bird that was speaking, thinking it was a monster, and were afraid, so they quickly picked up the gold and planned to run away.
"stop."
Yu Qingshi held an oil paper umbrella.
Fly out of the carriage, landed on the ground, took back the gold that the five golden pheasant threw to them, and said, "I'm so sorry, sweet potatoes are not worth that much money."
He took back the gold, took out dozens of copper plates from his arms and handed them to the strong man, and said, "That should be enough."
The strong men didn't say much and ran away with the copper plate.
After they left, Yu Qingshi returned to the carriage, patted the rainwater on his body, and said coldly: "You chicken, you eat, drink me all your food, use me, and you still want to use my money to show off. Do you know how much a ingot of gold cost?"
Wutong pheasant rolled her eyes.
Who knows how much a ingot of gold costs, but it only knows that the posture of throwing gold just now is very handsome.
"Puchi." When the young master in white taught a chicken a lesson, the picture was very strange. The girl smiled and said, "Thank you for saving your life. If you have a next life, you will definitely repay it."
This girl has no sincerity and will repay her in the next life. Can't she repay her in this life?
Yu Qingshi originally wanted to lend him the oil-paper umbrella, but when she saw that she was wet all over and her face was covered with rain. It was almost the same whether she could hold an umbrella or not.
She's wet anyway.
There is no need to borrow an umbrella again.
"Girl, since you're fine, let's take a step first." Yu Qingshi was about to drive the carriage and continue to move forward, but the girl suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Jingzhou Shitou Town."
The girl's eyes lit up: "Come on, I'm from Shitou Town, Jingzhou. Can the young master take me a while?"
Yu Qingshi and Wujinji became alert. Is this a coincidence? I always feel something is wrong. How could it be that by chance that someone who went to Shitou Town together?
There is definitely something wrong with this.
There is a kind of routine element. Is it impossible for them to be targeted this time when they go out?
There was no tail to follow along the way. Whose person is this girl?
Each person and a chicken looked at each other and reached a consensus through eye contact. Since the girl has already delivered the goods to her door, let's explore her depth.
Yu Qingshi instantly regained his smile, like a smiling tiger. He stretched out his hand to pull her and said, "Since you are on the same road, then get in the car?"
"Thank you, my son."
The woman did not catch Yu Qingshi's hand, but climbed up by herself.
She climbed up and got into the carriage, and suddenly she found herself covered in water, and the water droplets kept flowing down. If she hadn't been wearing coarse linen, the spring scenery would have leaked out at this time.
"Young master, I'm soaked. I'd better be outside so as not to get the car wet."
The woman was about to get out, Yu Qingshi said, "Why don't you change your clothes first?"
The woman said, "There is no place to change clothes here."
Yu Qingshi said: "You can change it in the carriage."
The woman shook her head: "This is not suitable."
Yu Qingshi didn't go to her because she had no favoritism for this woman: "Since it's not suitable, then you don't need to change it."
The woman didn't have much, she smiled awkwardly, got out of the carriage, and asked Yu Qingshi to borrow an umbrella and sat outside the carriage.
Because the carriage was running, the umbrella she held could not stop at all, and soon she broke up. She curled up and hugged her legs, looking pitiful.
Soon I heard her sneezing outside.
Even the Five Golden Phoenix couldn't help it. Although she didn't know the girl's purpose, she was really pitiful now, poking Yu Qingshi's elbow.
Yu Qingshi sighed and said, "Girl, you might as well change your clothes first. If we rushed to Shitou Town in the rain like this, your body would definitely have a big problem."
"Not suitable." The woman insisted.
Yu Qingshi didn't say anything, just frowned and looked at her.
Seeing that Yu Qingshi looked a little scary, the woman shrank her body, her eyes looked like a frightened rabbit, with timid eyes.
Yu Qingshi said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and change your clothes in the car."
She still didn't move.
Yu Qingshi reached out to pick her up, and then an awkward scene appeared. A few sweet potatoes fell out of the woman's clothes, and the scene suddenly seemed very awkward.
"Didn't you just say you didn't steal sweet potatoes? If you steal sweet potatoes, you would hit and die here on the spot. What do you say now?"
Yu Qingshi stared at her, but she didn't dare to look at him.
He suddenly remembered what Zhang Wuji's mother said: "Baby, when you grow up, you must beware of women lying to you. The better the woman is, the more you will be able to lie to others."
Sure enough, there is no truth in a woman's mouth.
The fourth imperial concubine Su Dayi was also lying. If she hadn't exposed her, she would have been stubborn.
Now another lie is coming.
"There is no truth in your mouth. You can go to Stone Town by yourself."
"Young master, no, don't, don't throw me away. I said, I did steal their sweet potatoes, but I'm hungry. If I don't steal, I will starve to death. I ran away for a day and a night and didn't eat anything. I saw a piece of sweet potato and thought it was wild, so I took a few of them. Who knew there was someone?"
Yu Qingshi asked, "Why do you want to run away?"
Hearing this, the girl burst into tears and said, "I am a widow..."
"Hey, there are stories, chickens, wine, peanuts."
"You used to call me Brother Chicken."
Wujinji muttered, Yu Qingshi was indeed a disheartened man. Before he had been with him, he looked flattering, and he shouted with a brother, and now he is just a chicken.
