Chapter 332: Ride in a Carriage
"Lao Wu and Captain Liang have always said that I am your eldest sister, and I am not afraid of them making fun of me. Lu Yao, I'm really scared! In this week, I haven't slept a single night. Liu Jing said tremblingly.
"So, you go to sleep first, I'll sit here with you, and I'll go next door when you're asleep." Lu Yao said.
"Aren't you sleepy? You must be tired after so many days of hard work. Don't go, just sleep here, this kang is big enough to sleep two people. The carbon in the kang has never been extinguished, and it is quite warm. Liu Jing lowered her head and whispered with a red face.
"I'll go over when you fall asleep, otherwise Brother Wu will ······"
"I don't care! My sister sleeps on the same kang as my brother, which is a normal thing in the north. Liu Jing raised her head and looked at Lu Yao calmly, and said calmly.
"That's okay!" Lu Yao finished speaking, and slowly lay down at the end of the bed.
Liu Jingyan smiled, and after pulling open the thick quilt and covering Lu Yao, she lay down on her side at the head of the bed.
After nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Lu Yao woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around the room, but didn't see Liu Jing. He reached out and lifted the quilt, rolled over and got out of bed, walked behind the door, put on his coat, opened the door and walked out.
He came to the first floor and saw Lao Wu and the innkeeper sitting by the fire drinking tea and chatting. He walked over directly and asked, "Good morning, boss! Big brother, are you up so early?"
"You ask me? How do I know? Liu Jing didn't sleep with me last night. Hey, Lu Yao, the beauty who slept with you ran away, you don't know, how heavy you slept ? Brother, I know that you are young, strong-blooded, and your physical fitness is really good. But you have to take it easy, it's going to be a long time, right? hahaha!" Lao Wu finished speaking, and laughed happily with the innkeeper.
"What are you talking about? You've been driving thousands of kilometers in the past few days, and you're not tired? Last night, I slept while lying on the kang and slept until now, and I didn't even turn over. Have you eaten breakfast? I'm so hungry. Lu Yao said.
"Knowing that you will be woken up hungry, the boss has arranged it. Let's go, let's go into the back room and have breakfast!" Liu Jing said with a smile as she walked out of the inner room. Her mental state and complexion today are much better than last night, as if she is a different person.
"Okay!Breakfast!After breakfast, I'll go back to the room and continue sleeping, you and Liu Jing go back to the room to continue to communicate and work!" Lao Wu stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and put his arm around Lu Yao's shoulder, and walked into the inner room together.
What Lu Yao and Lao Wu didn't expect was that the breakfast arranged by the innkeeper was particularly sumptuous. In addition to the whole chicken, fish and duck, there are also braised beef and mutton, as well as a few unnamed game dishes.
They sat around the square table on the kang, and the boss immediately filled the wine glasses in front of them with hot wine, and then picked up the wine glasses and said: "The two of you are the first group of distant guests in my family in the New Year. ”
"Okay, thank you, boss! We wish you a happy family, prosperity, prosperous business, and financial resources in the new year!" Lu Yao said, holding up his wine glass. Lao Wu and Liu Jing should both hold their wine glasses together, and after everyone clinks glasses, they do it together.
"Boss, we also drank the first glass of wine, let me take the liberty of asking, what about the rest of your family? This New Year, my eldest brother and I, and Liu Jing should give them a profit!" Lu Yao said with a smile.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my wife took the child back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, and she may not come back until tomorrow. The boss said.
"Okay, we won't leave today, when the sister-in-law and the children come back and meet, we will go back to Yunhai City!" Lu Yao said.
Because Lu Yao and Liu Jing decided to go to Liang Hong's hometown, everyone didn't drink much. Besides, the table is full of big fish, meat and game, for Lu Yao and Lao Wu, who are not greedy for cups, they can't resist the temptation of delicious food at all. Under the enthusiastic persuasion of the boss, they feasted and feasted beautifully.
After breakfast, go back to the hall by the fire and continue to drink tea. After Lu Yao explained the situation, the boss immediately walked out of the hotel gate, went around the street and came back and said: "Today's snow is heavier than yesterday, and it is definitely not possible to drive your car to the countryside." I have a relative who drives a carriage, and I will help you ask if he would like to go to the country?" he said, and immediately walked to the back of the service desk to make a call.
After a while, the boss came up and said, "My relative is willing to go to the country, and he said that the snow on the road is relatively deep, and the horse's legs must be put on long riding boots to walk, so that the mountain road will be very slow." The place you're going to is remote, and he can't guarantee that you'll be able to return today. ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't come back today, as long as you can find a place to live. Lu Yao said.
"You don't have to worry about this, they have a fixed stop for long-term drivers, and food and accommodation are not a problem. The boss said.
"Okay, then let your relatives run. Lu Yao said.
Half an hour later, a horse-drawn carriage pulled up in front of the hotel. Lu Yao and the others walked out and saw that the carriage was actually strapped to two tall horses. Each horse was covered in a leather jacket and wore an eye patch with black lenses, except for its nostrils that were snorting and exhaling white mist.
The carriage of the carriage is also wrapped in a layer of animal skin, and it should not be too cold in the carriage.
In order to keep Lu Yao from freezing, the innkeeper not only prepared large and thick leather jackets for all three of them, but also hugged two thick quilts and put them in the carriage. Of course, a pair of snow goggles was prepared for each person.
They got into the carriage and sat down. The driver shouted: "Drive, drive, ······."
With the rhythmic sound of the chauffeur's command and the loud snapping of the whip in the air, the wheels of the carriage crushed the snow half a wheel deep and drove smoothly and slowly ahead.
An hour later, the carriage drove up to a snow-capped mountain beam. A gust of mountain wind carries pieces of snow like cotton wool in the sky, fluttering and sprinkling.
Although all three of them are from the north, they see snow every year in their hometowns. Especially Lu Yao, who grew up in the mountains, is very familiar with snow. For at least three months a year, the road leading to the outside of the village is blocked by heavy snow, making it impossible to communicate with the outside world.
At this moment, they still couldn't hold back their joy, and they all poked their heads out of the carriage to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains covered in snow. These days, the haze that has been shrouded in Liu Jing's heart has also dissipated a lot.
