Dongfang Ying was very moved, said hello, took the exquisite-looking pair of sleeve arrows with both hands, and looked at it carefully.
It is quite substantial, but not bulky. It is made of nine little finger-thick copper tubes wrapped in tough leather. The copper tubes are hollow and contain arrow shafts as thick as chopsticks.
Dongfang Ying pulled up the cuffs and tried to put it on her left arm. Hong Tailei naturally stepped forward to help her, threading the strings on both sides through the buckles and wrapping them tightly.
The whole set of sleeve arrows is about eight inches long and tightly wraps the forearm, just like a copper-leather wristband with rivets connected to it.
Dongfang Ying put on the sleeve arrows and gestured twice. Hong Tailei taught her where to press the trigger to fire the sleeve arrows and how to load a new crossbow.
This unique pair of sleeve arrows can be filled with nine small bamboo arrows in each round. If it is a life-saving attack in close combat, it is much more powerful than a pistol or a crossbow.
And the materials are easy to obtain, such as bamboo skewers and chopsticks, which can be used with a little processing.
/p>
She thought for a while, then took off the leather case of the flying knife from her waist. There were two willow leaf flying knives in it. She handed it to Hong Tailei and said with a sweet smile:
"Come here. If you don’t mean to be disrespectful, brother, if you give me a chain of sleeve arrows, I will give you this flying knife belt and scabbard. This is also a weapon for self-defense. I hope brother won’t dislike it.”
Hong Tailei beamed with joy. He quickly took the leather belt and said happily:
"How can you dislike it? Brother Yu will definitely treat it as the most precious treasure and keep it well!"
Dongfang Ying'an Said:
"What are you keeping it for? You can also use it like me to place concealed weapons to protect yourself and your life."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I will definitely Follow sister Aying's instructions..."
Hong Tailei grasped the belt sheath with Dongfang Ying's body temperature tightly in his hand as if he had found a treasure, his excitement was beyond words.
The two of them had not finished talking for a long time, but Nangong Huiyue in the car and Wu Lu, the two girls behind the car, were impatient. Nangong Huiyue opened the curtain and urged:
"Ouch, I've been waiting for you forever? Boy named Hong, can you please stop blocking our way?"
Lu Qiuying also said dissatisfied:
"Yes. Young men from wealthy families are always good at deceiving women from good families.
"Sister Dongfang, please don't be wordy with such people, so as not to suffer losses. "
Hong Tailei's cheeks turned red, and he quickly turned around and got on the flatbed carriage, and said to Dongfang Ying:
"The green mountains will remain green, and the water will always flow, sister A Ying, Farewell, see you later. ”
Dongfang Ying felt inexplicably reluctant to leave.He turned to look at Nangong Huiyue and saw her pair of beautiful eyes staring at him with wet eyes. He couldn't help but feel a sore nose and said: "Young escort, take care. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you again when we are destined."
As he spoke, he shook the reins gently and urged the carriage to drive away.
Wu Xiahe and Lu Qiuying also patted the horse's rear, and then followed.
Hong Tailei stared blankly at their figures disappearing into the longan forest, sighed quietly, and drove towards his fellow foreman not far away.
According to Dongfang Ying’s instructions, he took out one hundred and forty taels of silver from the car and gave them to Xiao Gangzi and seven other people respectively, explaining that it was the favor of Dongfang Ying and he hoped that they would start a new life and live well in the future. Live life.
The seven people were naturally grateful and obedient, so Hong Tailei asked Uncle Cao and the others to untie the ropes of several people and let them go.
After that, they drove two carriages together, carrying money and food, to meet Fang Wannian and others on the road, and then headed south along the official road, quietly distributing property to the poor people in the area along the way. .
…………
But Dongfang Ying and his entourage drove out of the longan forest, onto the road, and then ran north. All the girls were silent along the way, each with their own thoughts. .
After several hours of tossing, it was already afternoon, and the sun was gradually setting in the west. When we crossed the dividing ridge between Xuwen County and Haikang County, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the women's bellies were I also started to growl with hunger.
Finally, Dongfang Ying saw a tea shop on the roadside in front of her, with a tall shop sign fluttering in the wind among the green leaves.
Immediately, he slowed down the car and stopped outside the tea shed, allowing Nangong Huiyue and the other three girls to come down to get some air, drink some tea, and eat some food.
This tea stall has a dozen tables and dozens of benches set up under a big banyan tree. There are many passers-by sitting around now, talking and laughing, drinking tea and eating refreshments provided by the store.
Dongfang Ying’s Purple Rainbow Sword remained in the carriage, and she picked up Nangong Huiyue’s master and servant and got out of the car. She greeted the two girls Wu and Lu,
The two girls were also tired from riding. , he dismounted his horse, tied Qianli Xue and Feng Huolong to a tree branch on the roadside, and walked towards the tea shed counter together.

Those tea patrons who were lowering their heads and whispering suddenly saw so many girls walking on the road. Their eyes could not help but shine, and they all stared at the girls in unison. The scene became quiet for a while.
The sharp-eyed tea shop owner hurriedly walked out of the counter and greeted him with a smile:
"Several ladies came to the country shop and really made the shop shine!
“I wonder what tea you need? Which snacks? We will do our best to serve you to the satisfaction of our female guest. "
Dongfang Ying glanced at the refreshments on everyone's table. She didn't know much about food and so on, so she said carelessly:
"Shopkeeper, no.No matter what kind of tea or snacks, anything that can satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst will be served to us. Don’t be too petty, we won’t shortchange you. Just pay. "
"Oh oh oh, good girl..."
The shopkeeper was about forty years old. I saw that she was handsome but not well-dressed. She seemed to be a maid. She was dressed in a dirty dress, with a dirty dress tied around her waist, but her tone was loud.
For a moment, she couldn't figure out her identity, and while she was muttering, Dongfang Ying saw him nodding and not moving. , nodded and looked at her dress, thinking that the shopkeeper looked down on her and was afraid that she would have no money.
He immediately glared: "What's wrong, shopkeeper, your business is not good." Did it? Hurry up and bring out the refreshments we want. "
The shopkeeper came to his senses and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, yes, please be patient, young lady, and ask some of the female guests to sit down in their seats first. Refreshments will be coming soon. "
Then he called the busboy over and hurriedly asked the female guests to sit down. The waiter hurriedly asked Dongfang Ying and the girls to take a seat at an empty table under the banyan tree.
The girls sat down and waited. With refreshments on the table, Nangong Huiyue rarely ate at such a simple outdoor stall in her life. Although she was not used to it,
But thinking that she would follow Dongfang Ying in the future, she would have to eat and sleep in the open air often, so she didn't do much. I disliked it.
After a while, the tea doctor prepared the tea soup, and the shopkeeper also prepared the cakes. The waiter from before brought them over one by one, asking the ladies of Dongfang Ying to use them slowly.
The girls were already hungry and thirsty, and Dongfang Ying fought fiercely for most of the day. Despite her strong martial arts skills and strong body,
She couldn't stand "people are like rice and steel", and she felt like she was sweating. , Belly drumming.
Not to mention that the two girls, Wu Xiahe and Lu Qiuying, had not eaten since early in the morning and were weak from being tortured for many days.
As a result, Nangong Huiyue sat comfortably in the carriage and ate some dry food to support herself.
The pot of fragrant tea was quickly consumed, so Dongfang Ying asked the shopkeeper to make two more pots. , followed by more than a dozen plates of coconut cakes, mung bean cakes, siomai and other snacks were all wiped out.
Seeing the women devouring their food, the tea guests nearby all looked sideways and muttered to themselves. What are you talking about?
Dongfang Ying also felt that the outstanding diners seemed to be very concerned about her group, but in broad daylight, she was very talented and bold, and she was really unafraid, eating and drinking on her own.
< p> After eating and drinking, Dongfang Ying took out one or two pieces of silver from her arms and handed it to the shopkeeper for the checkout.All the pieces of silver she originally carried had been given to Zheng Acan, but she later found out about Zheng Acan. She naturally found her own money through a trick.
In this remote shop, she knew that it was not advisable to be too showy and her wealth should not be revealed. She collected the gold and jewelry. Definitely not usable, guessOne tael of silver for a meal of refreshments is enough.
Unexpectedly, when Dongfang Ying put the silver on the counter, the shopkeeper shook his head and said seriously:
"Girl, please take it back."
< p> Dongfang Ying frowned and said:"Isn't it enough? How much does it cost?"
The shopkeeper still shook his head, looked up at the diners outside, and whispered :
"Girl, I misunderstood. What I mean is that you don't need to pay for your refreshments.
"If you can come to the shop and stay for a while, that's a small shop. How dare you charge fees for the supreme glory of the store? "
Dongfang Yingqi said:
"Why is this? We are just an ordinary small family, and we are not gods in the sky. We are princesses of the imperial court. How can we be glorious or dishonorable? "
At this time, Dr. Tea next to him came over and asked in a low voice:
"Girl, did you cross the sea to sweep away pirates yesterday, and today you wield your sword to kill bandits? You are known as the 'White Horse' Red Scarf's Oriental Heroine?
"Isn't this the living land fairy, the commoner princess?"
