356 Let's hit the road together

Xu Wen leaned on the side of the car and watched from a distance as Master Yan talked to that person, looking each other up and down.

To be exact, it was a teenager, about fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as he is now.

He was dressed in the burlap garb of a handyman, with leggings and straw sandals, and his hair was scattered in the wind.

But Xu Wen still saw at a glance that he was by no means an ordinary low-level person.

His demeanor, his hair, his teeth, his skin...... All of these must be fully maintained to become like this, it must be a long-term process, and it must be a very good environment.

If nothing else, the fingers he was touching his face were smooth and slender, with only a few thin calluses on the tips and knuckles of the fingers - it was not labor, but the result of a long time of writing and playing the piano.

This teenager's origin is definitely not ordinary!

After a while, Yan Jiangguan turned around and walked over, shaking his head at Xu Wen: "He really doesn't remember anything. ”

He turned his back to the boy and winked at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows, quickly seeing what he meant.

"What then?" he asked. The voice was neither high nor low, but it was just enough for the boy not far away to hear.

"I don't know. He doesn't even remember where he came from, we have to leave Jincheng tomorrow, and we don't have time to inquire about it. Yan Jiangguan said distressedly.

Your old acting skills are really not very good......

Xu Wen slandered in his heart, but he was still very cooperative on the surface: "What should I do then?

When the two were talking, the young man had already come over, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately put down the hand covering his forehead, and said happily: "In that case, why don't you let me go on the road with you?"

Xu Wen looked at the other party, his expression a little incredulous.

No...... Is this true?

Let's not talk about whether you hit someone or not, you have to be responsible for him or something, these years the flow of people/migration is very strict, and you have to check when you enter and leave the city, how can you say that you can follow along?

Did the boy really forget everything, or did he not even know about it?

The driver was a little slow to react, and only then did he come back to his senses, and shouted in a hurry: "I didn't hit him! It has nothing to do with me! He ran out and fell to the ground by himself! And he was several feet away from my car!"

He said, gesturing. Xu Wen followed his gesture and glanced at it, there were traces on the loess road, and it was indeed the same as he said, the place where the human body fell was at least two and a half feet away from the front of the wheel, not to mention the collision, and even the impact force would not be there.

Yan Jiangguan also glanced over there, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand to silence the coachman.

The coachman was indignant, but kept his mouth shut.

"We're not going to leave until tomorrow, and now we have something else to do, ...... you?" asked him kindly, which meant that he really wanted to take him with him.

Is this old man, are you in the water in your brain? If you are touched like this, you will also be fooled? The coachman looked at his master incomprehensibly.

“...... I'll go with you!" the boy hesitated to look at them, and made up his mind.

"Okay, let's get in the car. Yan Jiangguan smiled slightly, turned around and invited.

The boy hesitated again, nodded, and sure enough, got into the car.

He got into the car in a skillful posture, and when he got into the car, he sat upright, with his hands on his knees, and he was gentle.

Xu Wen retracted his gaze and happened to look at Yan Gongguan, the two looked at each other and smiled, and also got into the car.

The young man sat on one side of the carriage, and Xu Wen and Yan Gongguan sat on the other side, closer to the desk.

The two did not interrogate the teenager's name or introduce themselves, but leaned over to the table and continued to discuss what had been done before.

The boy sat upright, not squinting, but clearly listening to them with his ears pricked up.

Listening to him, he frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "Excuse me, I don't hear your accent is local, where is your hometown?"

Xu Wen can speak two languages, one is Mandarin, which is more similar to the official dialect of this world, and the pronunciation of some details is a little different, which is an accented official dialect here. The other is the local dialect of Yushui County, a kind of Wu Yin, which comes with this body.

Yan Jiangguan spoke official dialect from the beginning, which was relatively standard, but he also brought some Wu Yin, probably from Jiangnan.

In fact, their accents were already very slight, but the young man still heard them sensitively.

"Gangnam. Yan replied.

"Where are you going?" the boy asked.

"Western Desert. Yan Jiangguan said.

"It's not close. The boy said.

"Every year when I was on duty, I had to go. Yan Jiangguan said.

It turned out that he was passing by as a servant...... The boy suddenly realized and immediately relaxed.

Seeing that he didn't plan to ask any more, Yan Jiangguan turned back to discuss with Xu Wen. The teenager's attention gradually became drawn to what they were discussing.

At this time, the main body of discussion between Yan Jiangguan and Xu Wen was still this car, but it was not only this car.

This car was designed by Yan Jiangguan himself, and the basic principle is to learn the examination of the Gongji, which is a collection of handicrafts in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is more than 1,000 years away from now, and it is indeed quite ancient.

Influenced by the examination of the work record, the standard of this car is also a little quaint, but the key places have actually changed a lot.

The Qin Dynasty and the cars before the Qin Dynasty were mainly single-wheeled, and the wheel spokes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were changed, which strengthened the weak links of the wheels. The examination of the work record is an in-depth study of various components such as axles and wheels, and the most important thing is a detailed record of the technical specifications and inspection methods of car manufacturing at that time.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the double-wheeled car gradually became popular, which made it possible to make a single-drawn carriage, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the double-wheeled carriage basically replaced the single-wheeled car.

Yan Jiangguan's car is also double-wheeled.

Xu Wen didn't know much about the development of ancient cars, and at first they discussed the means of inspecting vehicles in the examination records, and gradually extended to discuss some practical aspects of geometry.

- For people of this era, this aspect is really the content of Xu Qian's expertise.

The point is, these things are very close to the lives of ordinary people, and they are very interesting.

At first, the boy was just idle and bored and listened casually, but the more he listened, the more he listened, the more he became engrossed, and he was very focused.

Yan Jiangguan is in his forties, Xu Wen is in his teens, and the age difference between the two is very big, and they look like master and apprentice or master and servant.

The boy thought so at first, but when he listened to it, he felt that something was wrong.

The two sat opposite each other, had questions and answers with each other, and communicated very equally, speaking of the back, the balance gradually deflected, and Xu Wen was the one who talked more.

The young man couldn't help but look at Xu Wen a few more times, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the temperament of a young man of the same age as himself was very special.

It's not precious, but it's very natural, and there's a sense of ease that you can adapt to whatever environment you're in.

He was itching in his heart, and he wanted to ask Xu Wen what his name was, but the two had a hot chat, and he was embarrassed to interject.

He listened intently, not noticing the way the car was going.

After a long time, the car shook and stopped.

"It's here. The driver called out in front of him.

The young man subconsciously looked outside, his eyes widened instantly, and he shouted, "Dragon Temple???"
