Chapter 2: Hurry
The river that flows out of Lingyang Lake is called Chiyang River, and it transports a large amount of water resources downstream, except in winter when the rivers and lakes are frozen.
Chiyang City is located more than 60 miles south of Lingyang Lake, built along both sides of the Chiyang River, which has both a rich water intake environment and a smooth waterway transportation capacity.
Lin Yuan drove Uncle Hua's carriage on the official road, which was built along the Chiyang River flowing from Lingyang Lake.
It's not that Lin Yuan is lazy and doesn't want to walk to Chiyang City, with Lin Yuan's current physical state, running for two hours in a row will not be physically exhausted at all. It's just that the list of purchased substances given by Uncle Hua contains too many items, and you can't bring them back without using a carriage.
The official road is much smoother than the mountain and rural roads, but after all, it is only the road leading from the village to the big city, and the road surface is only paved with some small particles of stones.
The wheels were driving on the potholes, and the axles shook rapidly, but the carriage remained in a relatively stable state, and Lin Yuan was extremely satisfied with the driving effect of the carriage.
Lin Yuan recalled that he drove the village chief's carriage to Chiyang City half a year ago, and couldn't help touching his buttocks.
At that time, Uncle Hua had just renovated his carriage, and because Lin Yuan had no experience in driving a carriage alone, he was afraid that the carriage would be damaged, so he borrowed the village chief's carriage for Lin Yuan to use.
The village chief's carriage was pulled by an ordinary horse, the axle was made of a very stiff cypress tree, and the carriage and the axle were tied directly with thorn and rattan and steel nails, and a cutting board-like seat cushion was placed on the driver's seat. At first, Lin Yuan saw that although the carriage had a simple structure, the structure was unusually strong, so he didn't think about it, and drove the carriage to Chiyang City.
But Lin Yuan gradually found that the carriage was driving on the road, and the potholes on the road surface could be transmitted to the butt without any difference, and the chopping board-shaped seat cushion could also move left and right with the shaking of the carriage during driving.
After coming back that time, Lin Yuan secretly swore that he would never drive the village chief's carriage again, because it was completely a pile of waste put together improvised together, especially the seat cushion, which made his ass experience for the first time what meat on a chopping board was. Even the buttocks that had been tempered using the Ziyuan Forging Body Technique were in pain as if they had seen the City Master and had been beaten with thirty plates.
When he came back that time, Lin Yuan saw that Uncle Hua was not at home, so he directly dismantled Uncle Hua's carriage and studied the role of each part.
The horses that pull the cart are wind spirit horses, which have better acceleration and endurance than ordinary horses. Compared with ordinary horses, the neck and legs of the horse have become more slender, and the horse's mane is mixed with beads of sweat when running, like a girl out of the bath, which makes people reverie.
What surprised Lin Yuan was that Uncle Hua actually braided the extra-long horsehair of the Wind Spirit Horse into a scorpion tail braid, and the bottom was tied into a butterfly flower, and Lin Yuan's heart was messy at that time.
The seat cushion is made of a futon made of flax and wrapped in a layer of soft cowhide. The leather surface is the first layer of grained calfskin, and the tanning process obviously also uses special fillers to make the cowhide easier to ventilate and breathe.
What's even more excessive is that Lin Yuan found a few faintly visible lines on the surface of the cowhide, which is clearly a small formation, the feet of the formation spread in all directions, and the center of the formation is an outer spiral structure, judging from the formation knowledge that Lin Yuan has learned from Uncle Hua for many years, this is completely a formation that helps gas dissipation or absorption.
Lin Yuan didn't think that this formation should be the effect of assisting in qi gathering, because he really couldn't think of anyone who would use chrysanthemums to absorb vitality, let alone during the carriage traveling.
Lin Yuan has lived with Uncle Hua for many years, and understands Uncle Hua's eating habits and rarely eats leeks and garlic and other heavy flavors, so the reason for the carved formation on the seat cushion should be heat dissipation, after all, long-distance driving and sitting for a long time are easy to get sores, even if Uncle Hua has deep Yuan Gong and sedentary for a long time, it is not good for the buttocks!
For a long time after this complicated thinking, Lin Yuan saw that Uncle Hua would look at his ass from time to time, because Lin Yuan really couldn't understand why Uncle Hua cherished his ass so much.
The board surface of the carriage is made of extremely high grade agarwood, and the unique fragrance of agarwood inside the carriage is overflowing, sitting in it, the aroma penetrates into the spleen, concentrating and calming the mind, and the meridians are cleared, which is of great benefit to both physical health and martial arts cultivation.
The exterior of the carriage is painted with a layer of darker tung paint, which not only wraps the luxurious style of agarwood, so that others will not think that this is an exaggerated nouveau riche showing off his wealth, but also just right to wrap the fragrance of agarwood itself, and will not overflow in large quantities. A small window was carved on the left and right sides, as a senior craftsman, Uncle Hua inlaid a small Juyuan array on the left and right windows, and the vitality inside the carriage could not reach a certain concentration, and the Juyuan array would absorb the vitality from the outside world.
A peony flower and a butterfly sucking pollen are carved on the right side of the interior of the car, slightly embellishing the simple interior picture and making the ride not too depressing.
But Lin Yuan had a strange opinion on this picture, why Uncle Hua would carve a butterfly to suck a peony pollen, instead of a yellow dog licking a piece of poop must have a big reason.
Uncle Hua not only didn't make any modifications to his car, but also didn't care about his image: the stubble on his face was shaved about once every half a month, even if he shaved, he used a machete without any sense of disobedience, and scratched his face a few times, as for whether he could shave it clean, it depended on fate, and if fate did not arrive, let it continue to grow on his face for half a month.
Several times when Uncle Hua shaved with a machete, Lin Yuan wanted to remind him not to be so quick in his movements, in case he wiped his neck with a shake of his hand, it would be over, after all, Lin Yuan was brought up by Uncle Hua for so many years, although occasionally when Uncle Hua went out, Lin Yuan ate the hundred family meals of the villagers of Xiaoyang Village.
Today's Uncle Hua is very different from Uncle Hua half a year ago, he uses the razor he bought from Qingshuifang every day to clean his cheeks, changing the decadent and sloppy image of a middle-aged bachelor, like a young man who is ready to hook up with a young girl.
Lin Yuan thinks that it would be a good thing if Uncle Hua hooked up with a certain girl or something, after all, he would have to go to Dongyang Academy to practice in a few months, otherwise Uncle Hua would feel lonely, empty and cold by himself, and it would be better for two people to live than alone.
Lin Yuan and Uncle Hua have lived in Xiaoyang Village on the shore of Lingyang Lake for more than ten years as outsiders, and Uncle Hua has helped the villagers treat a variety of diseases with his medical skills, which is deeply respected. But only Lin Yuan knew that Uncle Hua was best at treating widows and diseases, and he loved to prepare all kinds of spring fragrances, recalling Uncle Hua's recent appearance, Lin Yuan concluded that Uncle Hua must have used some not-so-noble method to hook up with a certain woman!
Lin Yuan's evaluation of the carriage is no longer a simple transportation vehicle, it is a beautiful and luxurious work of art, and it is also a high-grade prop to assist in cultivation, if a futon is laid, it is more like a moving bed.
The wheel style is not much different from the village chief's car, but the axle and the link part of the carriage are indeed very different? The village chief's carriage and axle are simply rigidly matched and installed, and there are no shock absorption measures; Uncle Hua's axle is also made of extremely stiff thorny cedar cypress. But the structure of the link with the carriage is indeed much more advanced, the lower part of the carriage longitudinally erected two poles with excellent elasticity, using the method of "bamboo and wood secrets", and the axle is connected with the elastic pole for shock absorption. At high speeds, even if the road surface is slightly uneven, the cabin will only shake slightly.
Lin Yuan carefully studied every part of the carriage, from the workmanship to the materials used. It's just that agarwood is used as a carriage, and it is estimated that there will be no second such carriage within Chiyang City.
The carriage continued to drive on the official road, Lin Yuan slapped the wind spirit horse's ass with a leather whip for a while, and took out the list given to him by Uncle Hua, which listed the things he needed to do when he entered the city this time, and began to plan how to handle things more efficiently.
Although Chiyang City is a small county seat, there are more than 20 miles in the radius, and the carriage cannot run with horsepower like on the official road in the city, and if you don't add it up well, you may waste time running around.
After some thought, Lin Yuan confirmed the order of doing things, yelled "drive", and slapped his palm on the wind spirit horse's buttocks, and the wind spirit horse hurried towards Chiyang City.
Before going out, Uncle Hua explained that if he didn't finish the matter today, he would go back to the village first and wait for tomorrow to handle it. However, in a few days, Uncle Hua will unlock the seal for Lin Yuan's dantian and open the path of Yuan Force cultivation, and at that time, the quenching effect of the Ziyuan Body Forging Technique on the physical body will be greatly reduced. According to Uncle Hua, absorbing the purple and green energy group after starting the cultivation of Yuan Li is equivalent to scratching the itch in the boots, saying that it can still stop itching to a certain extent if it is useless, and it is very useful, then it is far worse. Therefore, in the past few days, Uncle Hua has made a final sprint strengthening of Lin Yuan's physical strength.
Although things can be done tomorrow, who likes to travel back and forth for more than a hundred miles every day, even if Uncle Hua's carriage is very comfortable, Lin Yuan always thinks that lying on the bed is more comfortable than sitting in Uncle Hua's carriage, and it is more than a hundred times. Lin Yuan grabbed the reins, and the carriage rushed towards Chiyang City at full speed!
