Chapter 1376: Forgetting the Way
Originally, at their current speed, they should have continued forward. There was a small town about twelve miles past Mianzhou where they could stop. But since they were going to pick up Bai Dalang, they might as well stay for one night.
Mr. Zhuang had just heard Erlang mention this in the car and said with a smile, "I wonder if Dalang's marriage has been decided yet."
When Bai Shan and the other two heard this, they immediately looked at each other. Bai Erlang, who was afraid of the cold and the shaking, said, "I'll ride with you guys later."
The three of them looked at each other, chuckled, and all wanted to go into the city early to listen to the gossip.
Mr. Zhuang knew these three disciples best, but when he saw the smiles on their faces, he couldn't help but shook his head, but he also let them go.
The three of them rode at full speed towards Mianzhou City.
Santou could only lean against the car window and watch them run away. Then he turned around and said to his two younger brothers and sisters, "When I have money in the future, I will buy a horse too."
Si Tou said, "That's a long wait. You have to spend money to study now, and you will have to spend money to take the exam in the future. The examiner will also have to spend money. When will you be able to earn money?"
Sanya added: "And getting married."
Sitou then remembered, "After marrying a wife, you still have to have children, and after having children, you have to raise them."
He looked at Santou with sympathy, shook his head and said, "Based on this, Third Brother, forget about buying a horse."
The three heads shouted at him, "Can't I make more money and buy a wife and a horse?"
Sitou asked, "What can you do to make money?"
Santou fell into deep thought.
Si Tou said, "You'd better practice your handwriting first. I heard from my aunt that if you want to make money by copying books in the capital, your handwriting must be neat and beautiful."
Santou then said, "My handwriting is better than yours."
Four heads: "Impossible."
San Ya testified for San Tou, "Third Brother's handwriting is just better looking than yours."
The four looked deeply shocked, "Is this true?"
San Ya nodded fiercely and said, "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?"
Bai Shan and the other two ran to the foot of Mianzhou City. Today was the eighth day of the first lunar month, and there were many people entering and leaving the city gate. The three had to dismount and queue up to enter the city.
The two guards followed them closely, and after entering the city, they said, "Master, the Tang master and the others should be in the other courtyard."
Bai Erlang immediately said, "I know where my family's villa is."
He was about to lead the way, but when he shouted, the servants who were leaning against the city wall and about to fall asleep were immediately awakened. They ran up following the sound and shouted, "Second Young Master!"
Several people turned their heads to look.
A servant immediately ran up and saluted, "Second Young Master, Young Master Tang, Miss Man, the master and the eldest young master asked me to wait for you here. The other courtyard is all ready. Hey, why are there only the young master, young lady, and the old lady here?"
"They're at the back," Bai Erlang said, not wanting him to lead them. He waved his hand and said, "I know where the villa is. You can wait for my great-aunt and the others here."
Before the servant could react, the three men had already mounted their horses and were about to leave. He quickly grabbed the guards following behind, "This..."
The guard said, "Wait here. We are coming on horseback. The old lady and the others are lagging behind. It will probably take another two or three quarters of an hour for them to arrive."
It is obviously impossible to let three such active little masters wait here for two or three quarters of an hour.
The servants could only let go of the guards and watch them mount their horses and ride away quickly.
Mianzhou City was not as bustling as Yizhou City, let alone the capital, but its streets were not that wide either, so the three of them slowed down their horses and ran forward slowly.
They weren't very familiar with Mianzhou City, so they looked around curiously. After walking for a while, Bai Shan felt something was wrong. He rode forward and stopped Bai Erlang, asking, "If we keep running, we'll be out of the city. Do you remember where the villa is?"
Bai Erlang was racking his brains, and he felt that everywhere around here looked familiar.
They also passed through Mianzhou when they came back during the Chinese New Year, but there were many of them at that time and they had not made any preparations in advance, so they stayed in the inn and did not go to the villa.
To be exact, he came to Mianzhou during the Chinese New Year last year, no, it was the year before last.
Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shan innocently. Man Bao, who was standing beside him, saw this and said, "Forget it, he must have forgotten."
She turned to the guards following behind her and asked, "What about you? Do you know?"
The guard smiled and said, "I know. It's at No. 68 Erhu Street."
Bai Shan asked, "Where is Erhu Street?"
Two guards: ...They haven't been here before, they just wrote down the address.
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at the two guards together. One of them was the first to react and immediately said, "I'll go ask them right away."
"I know!" Bai Erlang, who was deep in thought, suddenly shouted, turned his horse's head and pointed to the way he came. "At the intersection ahead, turn in and go straight in. That's right, there's a meat pie stand at the intersection. Their meat pie is delicious."
After Bai Erlang said this, Bai Shan and Man Bao both felt a little hungry. They immediately turned their horses around and said seriously, "Let's go and take a look."
The guard said, "Young Master, let's ask someone..." If it wasn't right, there would be no need for them to make this trip, right?
Bai Shan, however, looked like he trusted Bai Erlang and interrupted the guard, saying, "I believe Erlang, and even if he's wrong, it doesn't matter. We can just find someone else to question him."
Bai Erlang raised his head proudly and rode Green Ear to run ahead.
Manbao and Baishan immediately followed and asked Bai Erlang, "Are you sure there are delicious meat patties there?"
"If I remember correctly, my father and eldest brother both treated me to it. Every year when we visit my uncle's house for New Year's greetings, we stay in Mianzhou City for a day or two. We eat those meat pies every morning, and their mutton soup is delicious too."
Manbao said to Baishan, "I did smell the scent of mutton soup when we came down just now."
Bai Shan nodded, "I smelled it too."
After they ran forward for a while, the air began to be filled with the aroma of various foods. When they went a little further, they could indeed smell the aroma of mutton soup and the rich aroma of meat.
Bai Erlang, who was running in the front, had already seen the sign first and laughed happily, "Yes, it's his stall."
The three men rode their horses to the stall, where a man was chopping meat. He was big and strong, and when he saw three delicate young men riding their horses stopped in front of his stall, they looked at him with their sharp eyes.
The big man couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and almost chopped through the chopping board. When he saw the three people jump off their horses, he asked with a smile, "Young masters and young ladies, do you want to eat meat patties?"
The three nodded and looked at the size of the cakes. Bai Shan smiled and said, "Give us five."
The big man couldn't help but smile with his eyes narrowed, and responded happily.
He took out a slightly burnt pancake from the stove, cut it open and stuffed it with meat and vegetables. He was very honest and stuffed more meat than vegetables. He stuffed the pancake full and then put it in a paper bag and handed it to Bai Shan.
See you tomorrow
