Chapter 217: Costume Change
Although Zhou Huaiyu comforted herself, it didn't take long for her to start to feel unbearable, and she felt sick to her stomach. At this time, she hoped that the "taxi" was not open-topped, because in this way, it could also slightly mask the strong smell of the cow.
In order not to be so conspicuous, Zhou Huaiyu is now wearing a dress sewn with the most ordinary primary color cotton, wearing a flower towel on her head, and applying tea leaves to the exposed skin, and deliberately smiling in every word and deed, making herself look like an authentic country girl who has never seen the world.
But she subconsciously wanted to pretend, but her body couldn't accept it for a while, and she could barely accept it when she was crowded with people on the ox cart, but from time to time there was a burst of "cow smell", plus the country roads were not easy to walk, bumpy and bumpy, Zhou Huaiyu really couldn't stand it. And she originally wanted to go this way, but also to avoid the pursuers who had already begun to track, and she didn't really want to go to the countryside, so when she saw the first inn on the road, Zhou Huaiyu immediately got off the ox cart.
The owner of the ox cart also asked in surprise: "Girl, you have to walk for half an hour to get to the town, don't you take the ox cart?"
Zhou Huaiyu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, thank you, big brother, I'm still waiting for my brother here." ”
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhou Huaiyu immediately entered the inn, "Xiao Er, book a room, if a twenty-year-old brother comes to ask in a while, you can tell me, it is my brother." ”
Xiao Er immediately took Zhou Huaiyu to the room, Zhou Huaiyu asked for some food and a pair of scissors and some needlework, and then ordered that if it wasn't for her brother to come to her, don't let anyone come over to disturb her, and the water doesn't need to be changed for the time being, just put it first.
After a night of driving, almost a day and a night were spent in fear, although she understood that she was still in danger at this time, but when she sat alone in this quiet room, Zhou Huaiyu still felt extremely happy and excited.
But as soon as he was happy for a while, Zhou Huaiyu immediately got down to business, first made a hole in his clothes, sewed silver tickets and jewelry into them, and then put them on, picked up scissors and cut himself a short hair in the mirror, wrapped two strips of cloth around his head, grinned, a proper tomboy. Zhou Huaiyu sighed, this is called dressing, in the past, when watching TV, girls were just wearing men's clothes, nothing changed, others couldn't recognize it, so she was speechless.
After the modification, Zhou Huaiyu hurriedly ate some hot food, only to feel that the tired body was slightly relieved, followed by fatigue and drowsiness. Zhou Huaiyu wished that she could sleep here regardless of it at this time, but she also knew that it was impossible, so she carried the burden on her back and swaggered out of the inn. When she met Xiao Er who picked her up at the door, she was still startled, but Xiao Er just frowned and muttered, and then walked away, not recognizing her at all, which made Zhou Huaiyu more confident in her cross-dressing.
There are people coming and going in the inn, and it is still an inn that is not in the village in front of the village and not in the back, everyone has a means of transportation when they travel, Zhou Huaiyu looked at it casually, and walked towards one of the ox carts.
"This big brother, where are you going?"
The coachman is in his forties, and he looks like an honest peasant man. "This little brother, I entered the city, you want me to give you a while, right?"
Zhou Huaiyu immediately smiled: "Yes, yes, big brother, I'll go to the city to find my cousin, go to his shop to do a job, big brother, you can give me a while, I'll give you ten wen for the travel fee." ”
The man also went alone, and now there is no problem with Zhou Huaiyu, and there are still ten copper coins to earn, of course he is willing, so Zhou Huaiyu immediately jumped into the ox cart and walked towards Heshun City again with a dizziness.
Along the way, Zhou Huaiyu endured drowsiness and bumps, and talked warmly with the eldest brother, and before entering the city, she suddenly patted her head and made a picture as if she remembered something amazing.
Although Zhou Huaiyu deliberately smeared himself, he was still clever with a smile, but along the way, the eldest brother of the coachman liked him, so when he saw his appearance, he hurriedly asked anxiously: "Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Big brother, I forgot a very important thing, hey, I still have to go home, I have to bring that thing, otherwise my cousin will definitely be angry, big brother, you seem to come to Heshun often, Heshun you must be more familiar than me, big brother, you can help me find a carriage, I have to go home quickly." ”
When the coachman heard this, he hurriedly reassured: "Little brother, don't worry, there are many carriages running back and forth outside the city, the eldest brother will ask you, you are waiting here!"
Zhou Huaiyu endured the guilt in his heart and nodded hurriedly.
Looking at the way the eldest brother of the coachman helped her ask questions, Zhou Huaiyu was extremely grateful in her heart, if it weren't for these warm-hearted people, she would probably have a lot more difficulty.
Sure enough, there are still many good people in this world.
Zhou Huaiyu always paid attention to the figure of the coachman's eldest brother, and after a while, he saw him coming back happily, followed by a carriage, the man was lean and spirited, and he was very reliable at a glance.
"Little brother, this old brother just came out of Heshun City and didn't do business. ”
Zhou Huaiyu immediately stepped forward, thanked the eldest brother of the coachman, and then said: "Big brother, thank you so much, you hurry up and enter the city, delay you for so long, little brother, I really don't want to go, I'll give you an extra ten wen for the fare." As he spoke, he handed over the ten cents in his hand.
The big brother of the coachman said that he didn't want anything, "You have to pay the fare when you go back to the countryside this time, keep it, the big brother is leaving!"
After the eldest brother of the coachman left, Zhou Huaiyu turned back to greet the coachman.
"Big brother, where do you usually go to do business?"
This lean man is a man of few words, and when he heard Zhou Huaiyu's question, he raised his eyes and looked at her faintly, and his heart trembled when he saw Zhou Huaiyu, and he didn't want to take his car anymore.
"Where are you going?" asked the lean man succinctly.
I don't know if it's because of Zhou Huaiyu's delusion, I always feel that there is something wrong with the coachman's accent, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Big brother, are you not a local?"
The lean man continued to look at her with that dark look, "Hmm. ”
Zhou Huaiyu frowned: "Then I said where to go, do you know the way, can you send me?"
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Huaiyu frowned and was silent, endured it, and finally felt that for the sake of safety, she would rather spend more time looking for a chauffeur she was comfortable with, rather than being frightened on the way to escape, and then worrying about the driver's affairs.
"I'm sorry, but I suddenly remembered that I don't have enough money to sit in the carriage, and I'm tired of you. After speaking, Zhou Huaiyu turned around and left.
