Chapter 20: All the way
Seeing that the crowd dispersed, Shumin hurriedly took Hui'er to thank his life-saving benefactor.
"Is that you?" Shu Min couldn't help but exclaim when he recognized this person as the bearded man with beautiful eyes.
But the bearded man didn't hear her speak, and squatted down and said to Hui'er
"You can't run around on the road, it's dangerous, you know?" The tone was very kind, but it was still so frightened that Hui'er shrank into Shumin's arms. The bearded man touched his beard, a little embarrassed.
"Mother, horse" Hui'er said glutinously, this is still the first word Hui'er has said in the past few days, except for mother. Shumin thought she was scared by the horse. Then he comforted and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the horse is gone." ”
"Mother, I want a horse" Hui'er saw that her mother completely understood what she meant, and said glutinously again.
"But we don't have horses. Shumin explained, "The horse belongs to someone else, and it's going home." ”
Hui'er didn't follow, only shook Shumin's arm and began to cry. Shumin was a little embarrassed, and wanted to reprimand but couldn't bear it. I had to say good words to comfort. But the more she comforted Hui'er, the louder she cried, and many people looked at her with a blank eye.
When the bearded man saw this, he lifted Hui'er and let her ride on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, uncle will take you to ride a horse." As he spoke, he strode toward the gate of the city.
Shu Min was shocked, although this person had seen it and had just saved Hui'er's life, but what kind of person it was, she didn't know at all. Seeing him take Hui'er away, he hurriedly trotted and followed behind.
Also frightened was Hui'er, who was riding on the shoulders of this strange uncle at this moment, crying desperately in fright.
The bearded man was athletic and fast, and in a short time he arrived at the gate of the city, where there was indeed a white horse. No one looked at it and didn't tie it, and when he saw the beard, he ran over happily.
When Hui'er saw the horse, she finally stopped crying, and she stretched out her little hand to touch the horse, and the horse raised her head like a spirit to let her touch it.
"Do you like it?" the bearded man asked when Hui'er had enough of touching her on the ground and put her on the ground
Hui'er didn't say anything, just smiled brightly at him. He suddenly felt his heart soften. If his daughter were still alive, she would be so old
Shu Min finally ran to the gate of the city, saw such a scene, and said in his heart, "Good boy, there is really a horse?"
"My parcels are all there!" Shumin screamed in surprise when she saw that her parcel was still in place, and the bearded Hui'er and the horse all looked at her.
Hui'er saw her mother happily pointing to the horse and shouting, "Mother, horse"
Shu Min followed her direction and saw a very handsome night lion, and exclaimed, "Night lion!" In her previous life, she had seen one in her boyfriend's stable, so she recognized it at a moment.
She wanted to touch it, too, but the horse looked up haughtily, and there was an indescribable contempt in her eyes. That's right, contempt.
Shumin had no choice but to retract his outstretched hand and look at Hui'er with some envy.
"Does Hui'er want to ride a horse?" The bearded man on the side was slightly surprised when he saw that Shumin and a peasant woman could actually recognize the lion of the night, and then turned to ask Hui'er. Hui'er didn't answer, but her eyes lit up obviously. The bearded man couldn't help but pick up Hui'er and get on the horse, and as soon as he shook the reins, the horse ran away, leaving Hui'er with an exclamation.
"Ah, wait for me. Shumin hurriedly picked up the two packages on the ground and chased after them. She wasn't worried about it now, and a person with a night lion shouldn't have any bad intentions. Legend has it that the lion is a divine horse that can recognize people's hearts, and a person with a bad heart will not be recognized by such a divine horse.
It's just that she can run a magic horse there, and in the blink of an eye, she can't even see the dust raised by the horse. But she still ran out of breath, complaining to herself as she ran, why should she put these two big bags on the horse.
Shumin ran for a long time, and finally saw the night lion grazing leisurely on the side of the road, and Hui'er pulled the grass one by one to feed it.
When the bearded man saw her, he took the package in her hand and said to Hui'er, "Girl, it's time to go." As he spoke, he picked up Hui'er and got on the horse, galloping all the way.
Shumin couldn't wear his anger in the back, so he held his stomach for a long time and said to the distance, "Hui'er, wait for me" and staggered to follow.
"What kind of sin am I looking for, what a lion in the night, what a man, no gentlemanly manner. I should have been allowed to ride a horse with Hui'er, and he would be a man after him. Obviously he is a bearded and ugly monster, but he still has such a pair of eyes that are better than a woman, perverted! Why does he only talk to Hui'er? I'm also a beauty, don't you see? And that horse too, what kind of person raises what kind of horse, the thing looks like the owner, it's not wrong at all" Shumin scolded the horse and scolded the horse. Turn grief and anger into motivation to support your body and move forward desperately.
Hui'er was riding on a horse, the horse was running fast, looking at the scenery along the way and moving back desperately, I felt very excited, and my spirit was much better. The lion ran fast and steady in the night, not bumpy at all, and Hui'er's giggling continued all the way. After running for a long time, I remembered that my mother was still behind, and I was a little worried about whether she could catch up with the horse.
"Don't worry, we'll wait for your mother at the entrance of the village. As if he could see what Hui'er was thinking, the bearded man patiently comforted him.
Hui'er was happy again.
It took more than two hours to enter the city, and it took less than an hour to go home. When Shumin arrived at the entrance of the village, his face was already pale and shaky: the potential of people is really huge!
"Mother" Hui'er finally waited for her mother to appear, and immediately ran over and put it in her arms, Shumin was almost unstable by this collision, "Hui'er, you are asking for your mother's life" Shumin's voice was hoarse. Hatefully looking at the man and his horse, he sat on the ground and didn't want to move anymore.
The man and the horse also looked at her, and they both showed a disdainful affection, that expression, God was in sync
It's a pity that Shumin doesn't even have the strength to have a black belly. If it weren't too ugly, she would have wanted to lie on the ground.
The bearded man took the package off his horse and threw it to her, along with a kettle. Shumin immediately opened the kettle and gulped a lot of sips before regaining some strength.
"Let's go home. Shumin struggled to his feet. Picked up the package and took Hui'er again, ready to say goodbye to him, by the way, thank him for taking care of Hui'er, although this care made her miserable, but the minimum politeness of being a person still has to be there, and any dissatisfaction with returning home and then draw circles.
But the bearded man didn't give a single expression, and only said to Hui'er, "Uncle lives behind the peak ridge, if you want to ride a horse, come over to play, and after speaking, he rode his horse and galloped, and disappeared!"
I'm such a big person, he's just like air, can't I see it? Shumin met such a person for the first time, and he didn't know whether to be angry or whether he should be angry.
When he got home, just after the hour, Shumin lay on the bed tired and motionless. Hui'er was also tired, so she lay down beside her and slept softly.
Both of them slept for more than an hour before they got up.
Hui'er slept and was much better, although she was not happy to speak, but she could already laugh. This made Shumin feel very relieved.
But I was miserable, I had never run like this on weekdays, and now that I have rested, my muscles all over my body have begun to hurt, and I feel so sore that I even lift my hand.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shumin had to move his legs to open the door. The person who came was Carpenter Wang, and he made the two tofu frames that Shu Min asked him to make, so he sent them to her anyway.
"Sister Qin, let's see if it's the style you want. Carpenter Wang said with a smile.
"Well, yes, Uncle Wang, you are really good at craft, you can do it so quickly. Shu Min saw that the frame was not only smooth and smooth, but also carved with a pattern of Qin characters, and couldn't help but sigh at the craftsmanship of the ancients.
"If you're satisfied, it's fine. Hehe. "The happiest thing about Carpenter Wang is that his craftsmanship is praised by others, which makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.
The two tofu frames cost a total of 100 pieces of money, which is already very cheap. Shumin hurriedly picked up a few snacks he bought today and asked Carpenter Wang to take them back for his grandson to eat. His grandson Shumin has seen it, he is only three years old, and he is very cute and chubby.
Carpenter Wang was not polite, he received the money and snacks and went home, he was also invited to drink the Zhang family's wedding wine today, and it was time to prepare.
Shumin saw that the tofu rack was ready, the plaster was simmered, and it was time for his tofu plan to start. But can you still grind tofu in your own situation now? Shu Min looked at the big stone mill in the utility room, and suddenly felt that he wanted to die.
