Wen Yu looked at Heng Yi and said, “Actually, two bowls of plain noodles will do.”
“All-Qiao said that the weather is cold and we should drink more warm things. I know nothing about the government office, so I’ll have to trouble Brother Wen Yu to teach me more in the future.” Heng Yi said.
The waiter came over with a teapot.
He enthusiastically poured tea for the two of them.
“How much is the total?” Heng Yi asked.
“Ten copper coins for a bowl of chicken soup noodles, five copper coins more with minced meat, one copper coin for a steamed bun, five copper coins for a pot of tea, a total of 39 copper coins.”
Heng Yi opened his purse, took out a hundred coins, and pushed it to the waiter. “I want to ask you something. Tell me nicely, and the rest of the money will be yours.”
“…” The waiter’s eyes lit up. “Sir, please ask me.”
“Did anyone drive any cows over today?” Heng Yi asked.
“There is, but it happened more than two hours ago.”
Heng Yi nodded.
He let go of the copper coin.
The waiter immediately picked it up and rushed to the counter to pay.
The extra silver was enough to buy a few steamed buns.
Wen Yu glanced at Heng Yi, “Why did you think of spending money to ask the waiter? You know you can ask without spending money.”
“If you spend money, he will tell the truth. If you don’t spend money, he might answer randomly.”
There was nothing wrong with Heng Yi’s words.
Wen Yu also believed that money could make the world go round.
Without money, people would only grind and push on ghosts.
“When we find the cow and report it to the government office, we can get the money back.” Wen Yu said.
Heng Yi nodded.
“If we find the cow, we can still reward you,” Wen Yu said.
“If we do find it, it won’t be from my effort alone. We should split the credit equally.” Heng Yi said seriously, disapproving of him taking all the credit.
Wen Yu smiled, “The first merit I mentioned is that the county magistrate will praise you a few more times. The actual reward will be shared by everyone.”
“That’s good.”
The noodles were served.
Wen Yu couldn’t help but sigh after taking a bite. “This chicken noodle soup is more delicious than the clear broth noodle soup. It’s fresh!”
Heng Yi said nothing.
However, he felt that it was not as good as Han Qiao’s cooking.
“To tell you the truth, other than yesterday’s meal, I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.”
“?” Heng Yi looked at Wen Yu.
His eyes were filled with confusion.
“My mother has to take medicine every day, and the few medicines she takes are very expensive.”
“We can go into the mountains to look for herbs.”
Wen Yu’s smile deepened. “I don’t know medicine, nor do 1 recognize herbs. 1 don’t even know what those herbs look like.”
“Get me a fresh one. I might have seen it in the mountains.”
Wen Yu paused, then patted Heng Yi’s shoulder. “Brother, 1’11 remember your kindness. If you need me in the future, just tell me.”
Heng Yi nodded.
He ate his noodles silently.
Wen Yu also sped up and only started eating the steamed buns after finishing the noodles.
Eating it with the broth was another taste.
After eating the steamed bread, the two of them continued to chase after the person who bought the cow.
It was still cloudy in Puyi County. After passing through the town, it was a little foggy. It looked like it was going to rain and snow.
“There’s a fork ahead,” Heng Yi said.
Heng Yi got off his horse and carefully looked at the footprints on the two paths.
He pointed to the path on the right. “Take this path.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
The two of them rode their horses again.
It was also their bad luck. They had only ridden for a short distance when it began to rain and snow.
The two of them were shivering from the cold.
Wen Yu almost said that he couldn’t hold on any longer and needed to find a place to rest.
However, Heng Yi didn’t say a word, so he could only follow him.
After another 15 minutes, Wen Yu pointed at the three people and the cow, “Heng Yi, look.”
He then turned to Heng Yi and said, “Heng Yi, these three people are armed and trained. Be careful. When I go down, you ride on the horse and attack immediately when they have their swords. Don’t feel guilty. We’re on a mission. If anything happens, the imperial court will take care of it.”
“Yes.”
Heng Yi nodded.
His hand had already touched the hilt of the sword on his waist.
“Stop!” Wen Yu shouted,
The three men who were driving the cow stopped in their tracks and turned around.
They looked at the two people riding their horses over.
“Big brother, the officers are here!”
The man standing in the middle was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
His face was covered by a bamboo hat.
“Speak properly first. If you don’t listen, we’ll kill you!”
“Yes.”
Wen Yu jumped off his horse.
He said to the three of them, “We’re officers from the government office, where did you get this cow?”
“I bought it.”
“Who bought it?” Wen Yu asked again.
The man in the bamboo hat slowly looked up at Wen Yu, then at Heng Yi, who was sitting on the horse’s back with one hand holding the hilt of his sword.
“Officers, please do me a favor and pretend that you didn’t see us three brothers today.”
Heng Yi said nothing.
Wen Yu said, “I’m afraid that won’t do.”
“Today, we are going to bring this cow back. You guys have to come with us because this cow wasn’t sold by its owner. It was stolen by a thief and sold to you.” As Wen Yu spoke, his hand was already nestled on the hilt of the knife. The leader sneered. “What does that have to do with us? Is it wrong for us to pay for the cow?”
“Whether you are wrong or not, we will make the decision—”
“Damn it! My brother is talking to you nicely. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.” The tall and thin man said as he pulled out the knife at his waist. “Big Brother, don’t talk to them. If you kill one, it’s one. If you kill two, it’s two.” “Yes!”
The man in the bamboo hat said coldly.
With permission, the tall and thin man quickly attacked Wen Yu.
The other drew his sword and stabbed at the horse.
Heng Yi pulled out his sword, jumped off his horse, and kicked the man away.
With a single move, Heng Yi gained the upper hand.
He looked at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu was forced to retreat step by step. He had no way to retreat. Seeing that he was about to be injured, Heng Yi raised his sword and the metals immediately clashed, using the back of the sword to receive the attack that would take Wen Yu’s life.
He even reached out and pulled Wen Yu, throwing him far away.
Wen Yu also knew some martial arts. He flipped over and staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.
Meanwhile, the man with the bamboo hat joined the battle. Despite that, Heng Yi still had the upper hand.
One of them was kicked away by Heng Yi and fell to the ground.
He did not know much about sword techniques, but his speed was especially fast. In a few moves, he forced the man in the bamboo hat to retreat.
His two brothers came back to their senses and attacked Heng Yi as well.
Three against one, Heng Yi was still as fast as ever. Heng Yi slashed one of them, and the man’s shoulder was almost chopped off.
“Ouch!”
“Third brother!”
“Third brother!”
The three of them shouted in unison.
One of them roared at Heng Yi with bloodshot eyes, “I’m going to kill you.”
The man in the bamboo hat grabbed him and retreated.
Heng Yi also retreated to a safe position.
Wen Yu immediately came forward and berated, “I advise you to put down your weapons and come with us. Otherwise…”
The consequences were not something they could afford.
The man in the bamboo hat said, “Officers, can you let my two brothers leave? 1’11 go with you.”
“We only went to buy a cow. We didn’t do anything bad.”
“If my third brother’s injury isn’t treated immediately, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive..”
