Chapter 138 Shit Escape
"Auntie."
Dalang appeared in front of the stable, and Qin Yao just put the saddle on Lao Huang's back.
"Are you going into the city to see your father?" the young boy asked curiously, his eyes filled with worry that Qin Yao could not hide.
How could he not be worried? Liu Ji had not returned home for two consecutive days off. Apart from sending a coachman to collect living expenses, there was no news from him.
Adults always say that a dog will always eat shit, and Dalang expressed his great concern about this.
He couldn't imagine what terrible consequences would be caused if his father continued to be the same as before, eating, drinking and having fun outside and had no interest in studying.
In the eyes of the young boy, Qin Yao's calmness at this moment was the last calm before the storm.
You never know when it will erupt completely and turn the world upside down!
Qin Yao led the horse out and told Dalang, "I will be back in the evening."
It is assumed that she did go into the city to find Liu Ji.
Dalang hummed, "Well, then I'll prepare dinner for you when you come back. There's also meat. I'll make meat soup slices for us to eat, and add some tofu. Aunt Zhou's family just made tofu this morning."
Qin Yao couldn't help laughing when she heard this. "I can't take you there. You don't know how to ride a horse. I won't take care of you if you fall off the road."
Then, he patted his little shoulder again, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Dalang wanted to laugh, but he almost cried. He was not worried about her, he was worried about his father's life!
"Let's go, go in. The sun is strong. Take a nap to get enough energy and practice two more pieces of calligraphy in the afternoon."
Today it is Erlang and Sanlang's turn to go to the water mill to collect the money box, wash dishes, feed the chickens and do housework. Dalang and Siniang should cherish their free time and study.
"drive!"
As soon as Qin Yao pulled the reins, Lao Huang immediately let go and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, the man and the horse disappeared on the winding road at the entrance of the village and headed towards the county town.
More than an hour later, Qin Yao arrived at Kaiyang County. As usual, he paid the entrance fee, parked his horse, and walked into the city.
It was evening, the sun was about to set, and the streets were filled with vendors who were packing up their stalls and preparing to go home.
There were still a few customers in the shops lining the street. The small tea stall had the most people, with a storyteller sitting in the middle. Everyone was so engrossed in listening to the story that they didn't want to leave.
The red lanterns outside the restaurant were taken down by the waiter, lit up, and hung up again. The red lanterns illuminated the restaurant with a festive atmosphere.
The two restaurants were opposite each other, and it was a good time for dinner. The two waiters stood on the street to greet the customers and called out to anyone they saw passing by.
Qin Yao coldly rejected a waiter who blocked her way and was about to walk towards the academy when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from upstairs and stopped immediately.
The guy who was just frightened by her cold face couldn't help but feel nervous. Why did she suddenly stop?
Do you want to scold him?
Obviously he overthought it.
Qin Yao turned around, her ears twitched, and she looked up at the eaves of the second floor of the restaurant. Five or six young men dressed as scholars were leaning on the fence with their backs to the street, drinking from their glasses and taking turns writing poems.
When she got excited, she opened her outer robe, took out her hairpins, let her wild hair fall loose, and stood up to dance.
He held the Pipa girl's shoulder with one hand and raised the cup with the other, wanting to toast the fairies in the heavenly palace. He thought he was a gentleman, but others thought he was a drunkard.
The companions clapped their hands and cheered, saying: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Master Fan's words are really brilliant!"
When Qin Yao heard the voice, a chill ran down her body.
The guy soliciting customers at the door felt something was wrong and looked upstairs. Oh, it turned out that it was the students from the academy who were drinking and writing poetry with Mr. Fan.
Then why does the lady in front of me look so gloomy?
Could it be the wife of a certain scholar upstairs?
Thinking of this, the waiter instantly perked up. Just as he was about to ask, a group of scholars from upstairs came down the stairs arm in arm.
They have been here from morning to evening, and they should be bored now and want to go to the next place to continue having fun.
The clerk thought, which scholar will this lady go up to and find out? It will be a lot of fun to watch.
As a result, he turned around expectantly, "Huh? Where is that lady just now?"
"My wife?"
The most handsome scholar among the scholars was suddenly shocked!
He looked up at the waiter with a red face and a smell of alcohol, "What wife? Whose wife?!"
The waiter pointed to the north and said, "Look, there!"
I thought there was going to be a good show, why did she leave?
Wasn't she the wife of one of these scholars?
A gust of wind blew over, and the smell of alcohol dissipated a little. The handsome scholar looked at the back of the person who left with big strides, and a thunderclap sounded in his heart!
"Brother Liu?"
His companion waved his hands in front of his eyes, laughed and asked: "What are you looking at? Did you see the fairy?"
Liu Ji looked at the hands in front of him in a trance, rubbed his eyes hard, and looked up at the familiar figure again.
After just a short delay, the sky darkened and the figures became blurry.
But he would recognize that person's figure even if it turned into ashes!
Just when he wanted to confirm it again, the city gate slowly closed, and he saw a man riding a horse out of the city and disappearing into the dark blue mountains.
"Liu Ji?" Seeing that others couldn't call him, Mr. Fan stepped forward himself, put his arm around Liu Ji's shoulders, and said with a drunken smile:
"Come on, let's go to Xingwang Casino and have a round. Brother will take you there to broaden your horizons!"
What casino?
What knowledge did he gain?
Liu Ji's mind was already confused and his heart was trembling.
Looking at the dark night, the red lanterns hanging on the restaurant opposite seemed to be the fierce eyes of the monster, with a bloody mouth that wanted to swallow him up, chewing blood and eating flesh, and never die!
The wine was not strong, and although Mr. Fan seemed drunk, he was not completely drunk.
Seeing that Liu Ji had been so attentive and enthusiastic before, but suddenly became indifferent to him, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
He immediately turned cold and asked again: "Liu Ji, are you going to Xingwang Casino or not?"
Liu Ji was confused and panicked at the moment, but he remembered that he must not offend these people. He thought quickly and suddenly bent down, holding onto a pillar, and covered his stomach, revealing a look of pain.
"Oh no, oh no, man! Man! Where is the toilet? Take me there quickly!" he shouted anxiously.
The waiter hurried forward to show him the way. Liu Ji held his stomach and said apologetically to Mr. Fan:
"Brother Fan, you guys go first, I'll be there later. Oh, I can't help it, hurry up!"
The clerk was really afraid that he would poop in front of his store, so he quickly quickened his pace. Seeing that he was staggering from side to side, he turned back and supported him. The two of them rushed into the backyard together, and a desperate cry was heard from afar:
"Ouch! My pants, my pants."
The group of scholars in front of the restaurant frowned together, as if they felt that the air was filled with a strange smell. They subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, and pushed Mr. Fan away as if they were escaping.
Liu Ji pinched his nose and stayed in the toilet for fifteen minutes before coming out. The so-called diarrhea was all made up.
I was completely sober and walked all the way back to the academy. Looking back, I felt scared.
