Stream that branches and merges again Sujin-ri tiger prison Guan Qian, the small hotels, are called „fold family/home shop”, because the shop owner is surnamed the booklet. 汜水镇里虎牢关前,有一家小旅馆,叫作“折家店”,因为店主姓折。 Now not compared with past years, before here, only then southwest together deep pit to Jungyang Luoyang, therefore one man guards the pass and Yorozuo open, becomes nine dynasty ancient capitals the place of gateway. 如今不比当年了,以前这儿只有西南一道深壑通往荥阳洛阳,故而一夫当关、万夫莫开,成为九朝古都的门户之地。 Afterward the geography change, the river water changed course, the tiger prison pass/test is not the only circuit, regarded the important mountain pass it on nobody. Original tamps earth the area just outside the city gate wall already by without a trace that the wind and rain corrodes, only then ground that writes „tiger prison pass/test” the alone steles of three characters, records here once magnificence. 后来地理变迁,河水改道,虎牢关再也不是唯一通路,也就没人把它当成重要关隘了。原来的夯土城关墙已经被风雨侵蚀的无影无踪,只有地上那通写着“虎牢关”三字的孤零零的石碑,记述着这里曾经的辉煌。 For this reason, „folds family/home shop” business not, storekeeper has not planned to move to a livelier place. Folds the family/home to have the place, in the area calculates that a not too big nor too small landlord, opens this shop, but faces the street happen to have several houses, idles is also idling, in any case is the vacant room of family/home, can gain gains, could not gain not to matter. 因为这个原因,“折家店”的生意并不算好,不过掌柜的也没打算搬迁到更热闹的地方去。折家有地,在当地算个不大不小的地主,开这家店,只是临街正好有几幢宅子,闲着也是闲着,反正是自己家的空房,能赚就赚些,赚不了也无所谓。 Because of host family idea, therefore the business of this shop is not better. 因为主家这个想法,所以这家店的生意就更不好了。 The Tang Dynasty world, the inn is divided into three types: Government operated that called the hall post, private that called the inn, again was the temple, consecrated a money for incense and lanterns to there, the monk in charge of reception of visitors can also give you to arrange a dwelling. 大唐天下,客栈分为三种:官办的那叫馆驿,民办的那叫逆旅,再就是寺院了,到那儿供奉点香油钱,知客僧也能给你安排个住处。 On the stream that branches and merges again water ballast does not have the government operated hall post, does not have the temple, only then the private inn, „folds family/home shop” the business inside stream that branches and merges again water ballast several inns is worst, but must discuss the environment, here is actually best. 汜水镇上没有官办的馆驿,也没有寺庙,就只有民办的逆旅,“折家店”的生意在汜水镇几家逆旅里边是最差的,但要论起环境,这儿却是最好的。 In the afternoon, a young waiter selected some cured meat, Chinese cabbage and a radish kind of thing just to enter the door, the distant place has one line of troops to come. 这天下午,一个小伙计挑了些腊肉、菘菜、萝卜一类的东西刚进店门,远处就有一行人马过来了。 78 people, ride the big tall horse, the steed saddle with saddle cloth excellent, immediately knight valiant military might, everybody are wearing a sword, the middle protects to support two horse-drawn vehicles, the carriage is runs the long-distance large cart, but may compare the common long-distance carriage to be tasteful, looked that is the riches and honor others takes a long journey. 78个人,都骑着高头大马,骏马鞍鞯精良,马上的骑士彪悍威武,人人佩刀,中间护拥着两辆马车,马车是跑长途的大车,不过可远比一般的长途马车讲究,一看就是富贵人家远行。 Team to shop entrance, only then a knight stands up from failure to discontinue. To shop. Has called the storekeeper, asks that within number of houses, whether there is diet supply, whether there is bathroom hot water, whether there is the brazier warm bed, whether there is the horse porch forage grass, ascertained then satisfied nods, asked: „Altogether 12 room? We all wrapped!” 队伍到了小店门口,只有一名骑士翻身下了马。到了店里。唤过掌柜的,问了问房舍的间数、有无饮食供应、有无浴室热水,有无火盆暖炕、有无马廊牧草,都问清楚了这才满意地点点头,又问:“一共12间房是么？我们全包了！” figure of storekeeper is thin, the jaw next mouse must, very be the appearance of broker. Listened to his words. Looks reluctant: „Customer, in the shop was occupied by two guests, you look......” 掌柜的身材削瘦,颌下一部鼠须,很是市侩的一副模样。听了他的话。不禁面有难色:“客官,店里已经住了两位客人了,你看……” He takes a look toward outside, accompanies to say with a smile: „I am looking, the remaining rooms, placed also to suffice the customer and your partner.” 他朝外边瞅了瞅,又陪笑道:“我瞧着,剩下的房间,把客官和您的伙伴都安置下来也够了。” „Our Father likes quietly!” “我们阿郎喜欢清静！” That person smiled. Fishes out a pearl from the bosom, on a spin toward the cutting board, the pearl revolves immediately turning round, was reflected by the sunlight, pink clouds say/way. 那人笑了笑。从怀里摸出一颗明珠,往案板上一旋,明珠立即滴溜溜地旋转起来,被阳光一映,彩霞道道。 „You of storekeeper look at the office, we only wrap an evening, tomorrow morning will walk, completes. This is your! Room charge. In addition calculates!” “掌柜的你看着办,我们只包一晚,明早就走,办成了。这就是你的！店钱。另算！” Storekeepers looks at that dragon eye big pearl dumbfoundedly, the whole face greedy color. Slightly one hesitant, he looked like for fear that others changed idea, threw, closely gripped that pearl in the bosom. 掌柜的目瞪口呆地看着那颗龙眼大的明珠,满脸贪婪之色。只是稍一犹豫,他就像是生怕人家改了主意似的,一头扑了上去,将那颗明珠紧紧攥在怀里。 After column fragrant time, two guests at the back of wrapping come out from shop crassly, storekeeper grovels in behind: „Offends! Offend! The room charge presents, but also please two customers much forgive!” 一柱香的时间之后,两位客人背着包裹从店里骂骂咧咧地出来,掌柜的在后面点头哈腰:“得罪！得罪！店钱奉还,还请两位客官多多包涵！” When that two guests walked, this line in abundance discontinue, several people enter the shop, inside and outside first looked, then before going back the car(riage), asked for instructions, people in two carriage then walked. 等那两个客人走了,这一行人才纷纷下马,有几个人走进店来,里里外外先看了一遍,便回去车前请示了一下,前后两辆马车里的人便走了出来。 On the first sidecar a white clothing young master, puts on a clothing of light furs, facial expression cold proud, acts in a completely informal or uninhibited manner, was directed to enter his best room by the person directly, at once then some people told the shop owner prepared the hot water, the storekeeper just wants to ask the person to move the bath barrel, actually does not think that bodyguards moved one from the vehicle unexpectedly, looked at the shop owner to be dumbfounded. 前边车上一位白衣公子,穿着一件轻裘,神情冷傲,旁若无人,由人引着直接进了他的上房,旋即便有人吩咐店家准备热水,掌柜的正想叫人去搬浴桶,却不想那侍卫们竟从车上自己搬下来一个,看得店主目瞪口呆。 When that small two raise boiling water has gone, sees the bed pillow to cover one on the matter also by others to be traded own, spread a snow white Yuexi to twine the damask silk including the furniture on, looked at the waiter to be flabbergasted, how long but he did not have for the first time, because gave to catch up immediately. 等那小二提了沸水进去时,就见床榻枕盖一应物事也都被人家换了自己的,连桌椅上面都铺了一匹雪白的越溪缭绫,看得伙计咋舌不已,不过他也没乍多久,因为马上就给赶出来了。 What on the second vehicle is a big and fat woman, in the bosom is hugging child in a swaddling clothes, the woman looks is a wet nurse, has not actually seen the hostess. Looks at this situation, the child should be this good clean young master’s heir, who knows the child not to be arranged in the young master side room, was actually arranged in second row of houses rightmost one, is farthest away this young master dwelling. 第二辆车上下来的是一个胖大的妇人,怀中抱着一个襁褓中的孩子,那妇人一看就是奶妈子,却未见女主人。瞧这情形,那孩子应该是这位好洁的公子的子嗣了,谁知孩子并未被安排在公子旁边房里,却被安排在了第二排房舍最右边一间,距这公子住处最远。 Heard that is feared the child will make accidentally night a tearful scene will quarrel the master rest. One group of tall and strong vigorous bodyguards enter the shop, told storekeepers and waiters look after the horses, exercises a horse and waters a horse, on the stable and animal feed. 听说是怕孩子万一夜里哭闹会吵了主人休息。紧接着,一群魁梧矫健的侍卫都走进店来,吩咐掌柜的和伙计们照料马匹,溜马、饮马、上厩、喂料。 To eating meal time, the chef in shop was expelled, in the bodyguard group the person arrived at the kitchen specially, probably thin one that pot brushes, looks at the storekeeper to love dearly, then others have made two meals first, has made some rice wheaten food, with tableware Sheng Hao of bringing, carried that to have the status master room, immediately in the chef by the shop was given the accompanying bodyguards to prepare food. 到了吃饭时候,店里的厨子又被赶开,那侍卫群中专门有一人到了厨房,把那锅刷的好象都薄了一层,看得掌柜直心疼,然后人家自己先做了两道菜,做了些米饭面食,用自带的餐具盛好,端去了那位甚有身分的主人房间,随即才让店里厨子给随行侍卫们做饭。 Although spectrum of these people look very in a big way, has not actually been bossy and be cut by broken glass, they spoke are very refined, has not been over-fond of wine to be addicted to alcohol, storekeeper has resulted in a pearl, receiving guests people custom very much, naturally beamed with joy, because they formerly were fastidious cause unhappy also vanished into thin air. 虽然这些人的谱儿看着挺大,却没有颐指气使、碴碴乎乎的,他们说话都很斯文,也没有贪杯嗜酒的,掌柜的已经得了一颗明珠,又见客人们规矩的很,自然是眉开眼笑,因为他们先前过于讲究所引起的不快也烟消云散了。 The day did not have to be warm, night in the time town cold Su, this shop was situated remotely, moreover entire had been wrapped by others, does not have night not to rest, incurs the matter that the prostitute drinks wine and gamble to eat and drink, therefore especially appears silent. Everybody is one night is good to rest, cried until the cockerel, display of vigour and vitality. 天还没有暖和起来,夜晚时候镇里本就冷肃,这家店又地处偏僻,而且被人家整个儿包了,没有夜里不睡,招妓饮酒、赌钱吃喝的事情,所以尤其显得寂静。大家都是一夜好睡,直到公鸡啼喔,旭日东升。 Several bodyguards got out of bed first, attire is neat, looked at the horse to the backyard, told the small two-horse cart, the chef who here guest brought entered the kitchen, brushed thinly the bottom of the pot, then cooked to prepare food, serves the diet of master, packed was good to raise in the master room with the food, immediately told in the shop the chef prepared food. 几个侍卫先起了床,装束整齐,到后院看了看马,吩咐小二套车,这边还是客人自带的厨子进了厨房,又把锅底刷薄了一层,然后煮菜做饭,侍候好了主人的饮食,拿食盒装好提去主人房里,随即才吩咐店里厨子做饭。 The meal completed, has suspended two tables, several bodyguards who formerly had not made an appearance also walked, the people took a seat, had a look, person suddenly strange say/way of leader appearance: „Aunt tall?” 饭菜做好,摆了两桌,先前不曾露面的几个侍卫也走了出来,众人落座,四下看看,其中首领模样的人突然奇道:“高大娘呢？” Several other people then discovered that leads the big and fat child's woman not to appear, immediately young jumps saying: „I shouted her!” 其他几人这才发现,那个带着胖大孩子的妇人不曾出现,马上就有一个年纪轻的跳起来道:“我去喊她！” This person passes through the main room, turns anxiously anxiously the binary houses, arrives at rightmost one, has knocked on the door gently: „Aunt tall?” 这人穿过堂屋,急急拐到第二进房舍,走到最右边一间,轻轻叩了叩房门:“高大娘？” In the room a sound does not have, this person has knocked on two, shouted one again, in the room did not have the sound, his complexion a little changed, put out a hand to push the door, inside did not have the bolt, „” opened. 房中一点声音都没有,这人又叩了两记,再喊一声,房中还是没有动静,他的脸色有点变了,伸手一推房门,里边没闩,“吱呀”一声就开了。 In room quiet, not sillhouette, a that person of arrow step flees before the cot, puts out a hand one point of antependium, sees on the bed the bedding to be neat, is radically nobody, cannot bear call out in alarm one again, the hissing shouts: „Aunt tall disappears! Child...... The child disappears!” 房中寂寂,并无人影,那人一个箭步窜至榻前,伸手一分帷幔,见床上铺盖整齐,也是根本没人,再也忍不住惊叫一声,嘶声喊道:“高大娘不见了！孩子……孩子不见了！” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ In the Young Master Jiang room, Yuan Tingyun is sweating profusely stands there. 姜公子的房间里,袁霆云满头大汗地站在那儿。 In front of Young Master Jiang is suspending food, but he could not eat. He tries hard to maintain on the point of death not the chaotic great general demeanor, but his complexion like has blown in the cold wind for three days three nights, fearfulness that azure infiltrates. 姜公子面前摆着食物,但他已经吃不下去了。他努力想要保持临危不乱的大将风度,但他的脸色就像在寒风里吹了三天三夜,青渗渗的可怕。 „Disappears? Sir even/including leads the child, said that doesn't see disappears?” “不见了？连大人带孩子,说不见就不见了？” „Yes!...... Disappears!” “是！都……不见了！” Young Master Jiang sits there wooden, is slowly typical: „You in the evening, having arrangement person to be on night duty?” 姜公子木然坐在那里,缓缓地道:“你晚上,没有安排人值宿？” „Naturally has!” “当然有！” Yuan Tingyun urgently urgently argued: „We link the cart driver altogether nine people, is divided into three classes, each class of three people, every night...... Persists in admonishing!” 袁霆云急急辩解:“我们连车夫一共九个人,分成三班,每班三人,每晚……都坚持警戒！” Young Master Jiang raises the pupil slowly, cast a sidelong glance his eyes, asked: „How do you arrange?” 姜公子慢慢扬起眸来,睨了他一眼,问道:“你如何安排的？” Yuan Tingyun successive tunnel: „Young master’s window and entrance,...... Arranges one person, the roof to arrange one person, occupies a commanding position, monitors all the people of nearness!” 袁霆云期期地道:“公子的窗口和门口,都……都安排一人,房顶安排一人,居高临下,监视一切靠近的人！” Young Master Jiang sighed gently, said: „Was the person of roof, naturally also the arrangement in my roof?” 姜公子轻轻叹了口气,道:“房顶的人,自然也是安排在我的房顶了？” Yuan Tingyun speaking haltingly tunnel: „Yes...... Is......” 袁霆云嚅嚅地道:“是……是……” Young Master Jiang is gently pressed the eyebrow, the doubts tunnel: „Which does Aunt tall lead the child to go? You believe that she is leaves, was stolen?” 姜公子轻轻蹙起眉,疑惑地道:“高大娘带着孩子会到哪儿去？你认为,她是自己走掉的,还是被人劫走的？” Yuan Tingyun hesitant, replied: „Possibly is not leaves. Aunt tall is only a common female, late at night, is unfamiliar with the people and place, even if she has anything to plan, is impossible to take this risk!” 袁霆云犹豫了一下,答道:“不可能是自己走掉的。高大娘只是个寻常女子,半夜三更、人生地不熟的,就算她有什么打算,也不可能冒这个风险！” Young Master Jiang is knocking on the finger gently, hesitates saying: „That......, If she carried off, you said that who can be?” 姜公子轻轻叩着手指,沉吟道:“那么……,如果她是被人带走,你说能是什么人？” Yuan Tingyun hesitant tunnel: „Perhaps...... Is who looks at our ostentation not to be small, was mistaken that child is a young master, therefore the tribulation is a hostage, wants to extort the wealth.” 袁霆云犹豫地道:“也许……是什么人瞧咱们排场不小,又误以为那孩子是公子的,所以劫为人质,想勒索钱财。” Young Master Jiang knit the brows slightly, shakes the head to say gently: „I have one unlucky premonition, I always think this matter as if the Yang Fan responsibility!” 姜公子微微皱了皱眉,轻轻摇头道:“我有一种不祥的预感,我总觉得此事似乎和杨帆不无干系！” Yuan Tingyun decisive tunnel: „Possibly is not he, he does not know that also has a daughter. Also, if he......, Was is not quietly abducts the child is so simple.” 袁霆云果断地道:“不可能是他,他根本就不知道还有一个女儿。再说,如果是他……,就不是悄无声息地把孩子掳走那么简单了。” Young Master Jiang thinks that nods gently, said: „Is reasonable!...... Under several destructive people can hide from your eyes steal away two big live people silently, is really somewhat unthinkable......” 姜公子想了想,轻轻点点头,说道:“有道理！只是……几个蟊贼就能从你们眼皮子底下无声无息地偷走两个大活人,实在是有些匪夷所思……” Yuan Tingyun smiles bitterly saying: „Young Master, even if the person of practicing martial arts, if not early knows some people to attack, when it is time to sleep is raising several points of careful first, after sleeping soundly, with average man not different. We come out from Luoyang, has not had any accident, everybody idled unavoidably. Let alone these mice steal the generation of thief, although cannot amount to something, has their originality......” 袁霆云苦笑道:“公子,就算练武之人,若非早知有人来袭,睡觉时先提着几分小心,酣睡之后也是与常人无异的。咱们一路从洛阳出来,不曾出过什么岔子,大家难免懈怠了。何况那些鼠窃狗盗之辈虽然上不得台面,也自有他们的独到之处……” Young Master Jiang has spat a foul air gently, low tunnel: „Un! If is really some people abducts them for the wealth, that has managed booing, we only need sit here, waits for them to start out the price to be good. Feared that only fears......” 姜公子轻轻吐了口浊气,低低地道:“嗯！如果真是有人为了钱财把她们掳走,那倒好办了,我们只需坐在这儿,等着他们开出价钱就好。怕只怕……” Yuan Tingyun said loudly: „Young Master does not need to be worried! Yang Fan is impossible, not to mention he does not know that also has a daughter in this world, knows that he is impossible to be quietly to steal then in light of this to settle his daughter. Therefore......” 袁霆云大声道:“公子不用担心！杨帆是绝不可能的,且不说他不知道在这世上还有个女儿,就算知道,他也不可能悄无声息地把他的女儿偷回去便就此了事。所以……” Yuan Tingyun voice has not fallen, the gate outside is one long smiles: The side that „said is! I will certainly not be quietly to come, to cease all activities to go. I now, do not come......” 袁霆云话音未落,门外便是一声长笑:“说的极是！我当然不会悄无声息而来,偃旗息鼓而去。我现在,不就来了么……” p: At the end of the month before dawn, asked the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket honestly!!( To be continued......) p:月末凌晨,诚求月票、推荐票！！(未完待续……)
