Chapter 148 Kingfisher is very beautiful
Seeing how good-tempered he was, Yun Wansheng felt as powerless as if she were punching cotton.
"Let's go downstairs to eat!" He said lightly and walked downstairs first.
The two of them went downstairs one after the other. Ah Xing led her to the reserved guest table, where they saw that the food was already laid out, and it looked quite sumptuous.
"Hey! Is this meal money yours or mine?" Yun Wansheng asked, thinking about the little money left in her bag.
"Of course I'll have to settle the bill for you. I never do business at a loss, but now that you've lost your silver, I certainly don't have much money left for you and me to spend. So I can only be a good person and pay you the difference first. You can just make up for it later."
Seeing his calculations, Yun Wansheng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then you better remember this clearly."
"Don't worry! I can't remember other things, but I remember the money clearly. Let's eat quickly!" Ah Xing said with a slight smile.
Yun Wansheng was no longer polite and picked up the chopsticks to start eating, not noticing the doting eyes of the man beside her that had already colored her eyebrows.
After eating and drinking, the two left the inn. This time they successfully bought a carriage. Although it was a bit simple, it was better than nothing.
In this way, Ah Xing acted as the coachman driving the carriage outside, while Yun Wansheng sat in the carriage to avoid the wind and rain.
Meanwhile, in Jinxi City, Jin Pingting, who had been waiting for news, lost her patience. "Ah Man, it's been a whole day and night, why haven't we heard back from the people we sent out?"
"It shouldn't be possible, right? The martial arts of the four A Mengs are top-notch in the martial arts world. They are more than capable of dealing with a woman and a coachman." A Man's tone was uncertain.
Jin Pingting's eyes were filled with venom. "If Ah Meng and the others don't come back, it means they are in grave danger. If she can easily kill the four great masters, then my son's murder must have been caused by her."
"Madam, what you said makes sense. So what should we do next?"
"Mom, you must seek justice for my brother and stop the murderer from getting too rampant."
Yan Baozhu was wearing a patterned mask that covered the upper half of her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
Jin Pingting's calculating eyes flickered for a moment. "This time, I'm personally taking action. I want to see just how capable Yun Wansheng is. How could she harm so many capable people in my Yan tribe?"
"Mom! Then you must be careful when you go there, and bring more people with you."
"Baozhu, don't worry. Mother knows what's going on. I will kill that bitch this time." Jin Pingting looked at her daughter kindly, but the words she spoke were extremely vicious.
Yun Wansheng, who was concentrating on getting on her way, suddenly sneezed, which made her take out a handkerchief to wipe her nose.
When she sneezed, the driver outside the carriage asked with concern, "Madam Yun, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine. What time is it now?"
"It's almost noon."
"Do you know how many days it will take to reach Shun Shang's land?"
"About ten days."
"It's taken so long." Yun Wansheng whispered in dissatisfaction.
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and then the temporary coachman came in.
"How did you get in? Who's driving the horses?"
"The old horse knows the way and will find the way by itself. You don't have to worry. It's too boring to drive a cart alone outside. How about we chat?" Ah Xing sat on one side and looked at the little woman with gentle eyes.
"What do we have to talk about? Why are you so greedy for money?" Yun Wansheng moved to the side, trying to stay away from the man.
Ah Xing looked at the woman's obvious reaction of avoiding him, and her eyes darkened slightly: "Madam Yun, where is your husband? Is he so confident that he would let you go out alone?"
"Please don't ask about my family affairs. We are not familiar with each other."
"Okay! Forgive my rudeness."
"How long have you been a bounty hunter?" Yun Wansheng asked back.
"Uh! It's been five or six years." A trace of guilt flashed in Ah Xing's eyes.
"How much silver does the government reward you for capturing a criminal?" This was Yun Wansheng's first contact with ancient bounty hunters, which made her curious.
"The price varies. Important fugitives get 1,800 taels, while ordinary ones get 100 or so taels."
“How many do you catch a year?”
"How many? Do you think I'm catching chickens? How many? The government doesn't have that many serious criminals for me to catch. I'm not the only bounty hunter. It's good enough if I can catch two a year.
So, even though the bounty seems generous, if I don't work for a year, all the money I earned will be spent. "I'm really short of money right now, so I'm looking to earn some extra money," Ah Xing said, looking embarrassed.
"It seems that your bounty hunter life is not as glorious as it seems!" Yun Wansheng said.
"It's glamorous, but it also comes with risks. Every year, bounty hunters die at the hands of criminals."
"It's not easy to earn money by risking your life."
"Yeah! Got it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly jolted violently, as if the wheels had run over a large rock, shaking the man sitting on one side off his seat and causing him to fall uncontrollably towards Yun Wansheng.
Yun Wansheng's body was also shaken and she leaned back suddenly, the back of her head hit and hurt. When she opened her mouth to scream in pain, her red lips were kissed at this moment.
The touch of her lips startled her slightly, and her bright phoenix eyes seemed to have forgotten to blink.
When she found out that she was being taken advantage of, her face turned red instantly. She was about to push the scoundrel away, but the scoundrel returned to his seat before her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. Please don't be angry, Madam Yun." The man apologized with a panicked look on his handsome face.
"Get out!" Yun Wansheng cursed in anger. If this scoundrel hadn't run away without any unnecessary movements, she would have suspected he was doing it on purpose.
"Don't worry, Miss Yun. I'll be out right away."
The man accompanied Xiaoxin and hurriedly left the car. Then he sat on the board in a nonchalant manner, with an ambiguous smile on his face. It was obvious that he did it on purpose just now, but he knew how to just say it in a timely manner so that others could not see his intentions.
After this extremely embarrassing incident, Yun Wansheng ignored him all day and ate separately from him in the restaurant, trying her best to avoid seeing him and being bothered by him.
Ah Xing tried to show his goodwill several times by making her a garland, bringing her water, and catching a bird for her, but the woman didn't appreciate it and was glared back at him.
The man was not annoyed by the woman's lack of romance, but rather quite happy. He wore a garland and fiddled with a kingfisher in his hand. As the carriage moved forward, he raised his resolute chin slightly and sang famous love poems.
Yun Wansheng, who was in the car, listened to the scoundrel expressing his inexplicable emotions outside the car and spat softly: "What a scoundrel!"
Just as she finished cursing, a gust of wind blew by, blowing the curtain in front of the car high up, allowing her to see the man's unruly silhouette clearly.
Seeing him, a grown man with a garland on his head, teasing the emerald blue bird in his hand, and reciting famous poems line by line, as if he was expressing his love to the bird, she felt that he was not serious at all.
At this moment, Wulai suddenly turned his head to look at her, raised his hand and grabbed the curtain that was about to fall: "Madam Yun, this bird is very beautiful, do you want to play with it?"
Yun Wansheng naturally saw that the bird was very beautiful and was about to say, "Bring it here!" Suddenly, she felt that the man's words seemed to have some ambiguity, which made her think of some blushing scenes.
"Scoundrel! Have fun by yourself! Put down the curtain for me, I don't want to see you, a scoundrel." After scolding him with a slightly red face, she walked up to him and pulled the curtain out of his hand and put it away without waiting for him to put it down.
