Chapter 5: Chance Encounters (4)

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yuan Zhao and I set off. Yuan Zhao was driving the carriage in front, I was dressed as a man, carrying the burden that Chunyu had helped me sort out last night, and followed behind the carriage with everyone in the villa, and the group slowly descended the mountain.

"You must be careful on the road, listen to your senior brother..." may be that I am not at ease when I go far away, but the old lady told me all the way. At the foot of the mountain, I was about to board the car and hit the road, and the old lady finally couldn't help crying, and the atmosphere was very sad. I hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely." ”

The old man, who had not said a word along the way, also stepped forward to comfort: "What are you crying about? I have gone down the mountain countless times and I have never seen you cry." Everyone present laughed.

Yuan Zhao walked up to the second elder and said deeply: "Yuan Zhao will remember the master's teachings, and he will definitely take care of his sister on the way, please rest assured that the master and his wife will rest assured." ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yuan Zhao, you have always been steady, and we are very relieved to entrust Xiaoxiao to you." You need to keep in mind that you represent our entire Zhongnan Mountain Sect at this posterity conference, and you must go all out!"

"Yes, I remember!" The old man turned to me sitting in the carriage again, and said, "Xiaoxiao, your senior brother's main task this time is to go to the martial arts competition, you must be obedient and sensible, don't cause trouble to your senior brother and affect his performance." ”

"Daddy, I remember. I replied in a proper manner.

"Senior brothers, Yuan Zhao has taken his leave!" Yuan Zhao said hello to the senior brothers behind the second elder again, then turned around and jumped into the carriage, pulled the horsewhip and whipped the two horses hard, and we set off.

Seeing that the people behind me were reluctantly waving at us, I suddenly found that all the excitement of coming out to play was replaced by the melancholy of parting. I used to think that my soul was attached to another person's body, so when it comes to feelings, I think I can be completely free, but until today I don't know that in just two months, I have fully integrated into Feng Xiaoxiao's life, I fell in love with the old lady who cared for me meticulously, and also fell in love with the brothers who played with me all day long, and even the old man with a tiger face all day now I think he is very cute.

After walking a long way, I saw Little Stone standing on a rock and shouting at us, "Senior brother, you must come back with the first name-" "Got it, Stone!" Yuan Zhao's answer was resolute.

The bumps in the carriage were far greater than I imagined, and I thought it would be a very happy thing to ride in the carriage, but who knew what it would be like to actually sit on it. Even if the wheels run over only a small pebble, the carriage will magnify the effect of the bumps to the maximum. Sitting in this was an ordeal, and after a while my ass couldn't stand it.

After experiencing it myself, I finally understood why the old lady always carried a thick cushion every time she went out in a carriage. Actually, last night the spring rain asked me to bring a piece, but I didn't bring it because I was too troublesome. Now that I think about it, my bowels are almost green. I had no choice but to change my sitting position and muttered to myself: This carriage is really not as good as a car.

"Senior sister, who are you talking to?" Yuan Zhao, who was sitting in the front, seemed to hear me talking to myself. As soon as I heard him call my junior sister, I got on fire, leaning on the walls of the carriage on both sides, I bent my waist and carefully opened the curtain in front of me, and flicked two brains at the head of Yuan Zhao, who was driving the car. "Why did you hit me?" Yuan Zhao turned back to me angrily and annoyed.

"You're the one who hits," I said, leaning over to the side of the carriage and saying like him, "Who is your sister?"

"Oh," Yuan Zhao immediately realized his mistake, touched his head and said with a smile: "Good fight, good fight, obviously I am a junior brother, how can I call it a junior sister?" I leaned back on the carriage and said triumphantly: "Miss Ben..." When I saw Yuan Zhao smiling evilly and stretching out his right hand, he quickly got up and climbed into the carriage, screaming as he crawled: "Help!"

Suddenly I felt my exposed ankle being grasped by a strong hand. "Not good!" Before I could react, I was dragged out by Yuan Zhao. Yuan Zhao wrapped his left hand around my neck, bent his right thumb and index finger into a bow, put it to his mouth and blew on it, and then ran to my head.

"Don't~" I tried my best to resist, but all I could move was my legs hanging in mid-air. "Ouch!" After all, I still got it, it hurt so much, I couldn't help but scream.

"I didn't expect the report to come so quickly, don't move, there's a little more!" Yuan Zhao seemed to be addicted to playing, and shouted to play me again, so frightened that my eyes were closed, and I tilted my head to Yuan Zhao's chest. I opened my eyes curiously and saw Yuan Zhao staring at me blankly, his hands dangling in the air.

Only then did I realize that our current posture was too ambiguous: I was now half-lying in Yuan Zhao's arms, and I was still digging my head into his arms, and Yuan Zhao was bound tightly by a pair of strong arms, and his face was almost touching mine. We both blushed almost at the same time, and as soon as his arm was loose, I crawled back into the carriage.

Since then, we haven't said a word along the way. I sat in the rickety car, secretly blaming myself for the embarrassing scene just now, thinking that I had just started on the road, so I let him eat my tofu, how can I count it as credit. Approaching noon, Wu suddenly felt that the carriage was no longer bumpy and had stabilized, and the voices of the people around him gradually increased.

I poked my head out of the window curiously, and a carriage whizzed across from me, "Oh my god!" and I sat down in the carriage. "Senior brother, are you okay?" Yuan Zhao opened the curtain and asked with concern. "It's okay, nothing's fine. I sat up again. "Senior brother, where is this?" "No, there is Chang'an City in front." "Through the curtain I saw a magnificent city standing in front of me, and a great road paved with stone slabs stretched from my feet to the black hole in the doorway below.

"Get out of the car, get out of the car!" I was still a long way from the city gate when I heard the voice of the doorman. I followed behind Yuan Zhao, who was holding the reins of the horse, and followed the line waiting for inspection, ready to enter the city. Taking advantage of this emptiness, I carefully observed the gate of Chang'an City, the middle gate was closed, only the two side doors were open, one in and one out, the traffic capacity of the side gate was obviously not enough, and there was a lot of queue gathered in front of the two gates.

"Senior brother, why don't they open the door? I whispered to Yuan Zhao in front of me for advice. "The main gate is generally not opened, and it is only opened in rare cases, such as when the emperor and the army come and go. Usually opening a small gate can not only control the crowd entering and exiting, but also help to defend the city and avoid the city from being attacked by sneak attacks. "Yuan Zhao's explanation made me suddenly realize.

Chang'an is worthy of being the western capital of the empire, and after having lunch in the city, Yuan Zhao carefully drove the carriage slowly through the flow of people and vehicles. I wanted to see this one thing at a time, so I opened the window. "Close it quickly!" Hearing the sound, Yuan Zhao reminded me for the first time, but it was too late, it seemed to be a blink of an eye, and countless pairs of dirty hands reached into the carriage through the window, with the sound of "okay, okay", "Pity me, Coke".

"Senior brother, what should I do?" The sudden arrival of the beggar gang made me feel at a loss. After Yuan Zhao poked his head in and took a look, he took out a few taels of silver from his arms, threw them to the side of the road, and shouted: "Grab the silver!" The beggars gathered by the carriage rushed over with a bang. Taking advantage of this moment, I quickly closed the window, and there was no sound of beggars fighting, scolding, and crying behind me.

"Don't open the windows when you come to the city by car in the future. Yuan Zhao explained to himself outside: "The women who sit in the car like to give beggars a little money, so they are not begging from pedestrians on the road now, and their eyes are all staring at the passing carriages, and now there are often carriages robbed in Chang'an City." "After being reminded by Yuan Zhao, I completely dismissed my plan to sit outside the car and watch Chang'an City. With the miscellaneous sounds outside the car window, we finally passed through Chang'an City and headed towards Luoyang.
