Xiaobei stepped forward to help drive the horses, the day before yesterday heavy snow covered the previous smooth road, the snow on the side of the road was deep, the carriage was heavy, the road was narrow, Xiaobei was worried that the horses would be frightened by the sound of the engine.
Several jeeps drove cautiously on the path, the snow was too deep, the cars were skidding, and the roar of the motors really caused the horses to be uneasy, and the two horses kept stomping their feet and snorting.
One of the forks in the road leads to Daliang Village, and the other leads to Hedong Village, Xiaobei guessed that this might be Lin Xiangming's family, otherwise no one would have made such a big move.
The car was getting closer and closer, and the horse's restlessness was becoming more and more obvious, Xiaobei hurriedly helped her mother down, beckoned Radish over, and helped the car in front of her to hold the horse's reins.
"Hoo hoo hoo ......" Lin Chunshan rattled the horsewhip, trying to appease the frightened horse, the snow under his feet was too slippery, and the restless horse moved from side to side, and the oysters on the board also fell down with a clatter.
The carriage at the front, the driver is the three boys of the old Li family in the east of the village, just over 20 this year, lack of experience in driving the car, accidentally hit the horse's body when throwing the horse whip, the already manic horse was in pain, and suddenly brought the carriage onto the right road, and the horse's hooves flew wildly and pulled a cart of seafood forward.
The jeep on the opposite side saw the strange appearance of the carriage and whistled desperately, which made the horses even more frightened, and rushed to the ditch by the roadside along the road.
Xiaobei didn't want to do anything, and ran over quickly to help the three boys control the reins. At the same time, several figures jumped out of the stopped jeep and rushed towards the frightened carriage.
Su Xiaobei didn't care about the danger at all, and pushed the stunned Su Radish, "Brother, go to the back and take care of Mom." ”
She is small, flexible, a cat waist into the edge of the car under the car, the breeder old Yao Tou loves to ponder some new ideas, since the occurrence of the horse hurt people, he for the sake of safety, in the edge of the horse on the edge of the car pressed a manual brake, similar to the brake of a bicycle, a hard pull can fix the carriage.
Xiaobei is going to pull this manual brake.
Some of the people who got down from the jeep found Xiaobei's movements, at this time, the front hooves of the startled horse had stepped on the snow in the ditch, and the center of gravity of the seafood on the car all leaned forward.
"Danger! Kid, get out of here! ”
Xiaobei's eyes only had the brakes that flickered up and down, it seemed that Lao Yaotou was not stable, and it was hard to say whether he could brake the carriage in this case.
has already arrived, Xiaobei will not give up the only opportunity, both hands fiercely grasp the top of the wooden stick, feet on the ground, leaning back, gritting his teeth to break the brakes back.
The shrill and piercing noise of the carriage, combined with the neighing of the horses, shook everyone's ears with such penetrating power.
An old man in the jeep looked ahead in surprise, "Whose family is that child?" ”
Finally calmed the frightened horse, Xiaobei fell weakly in the snow, Lin Chunshan took out a bag of forage from the car and poured it on the ground to feed the horse, and then took out a shovel to shovel the spilled oysters on the ground.
"Xiaobei, are you okay?" Su Radish asked with a crying face.
"Hey, hey! It's okay, but my arms and legs are weak. Xiaobei looked up and smiled at her mother, "Mom, I'll just lie down for a while." ”
"Little girl, you can come and rest in our car." A man's voice suddenly appeared on his side, and Niang San looked over in surprise, it was a middle-aged man in a green military uniform.
At this time, Xiaobei found out that the people who helped Lin Chunshan load the car were all green military uniforms of Yishui.
Unable to resist the man's warm invitation, and besides, he had to thank the people for helping to load the goods, so Xiaobei and his mother were taken to one of the jeeps.
Before she could pull the car door, the people inside had already opened it for her, and an old man with gray hair, thin body and eyes like torches in the car looked her up and down.
"Please come up and sit down." The old man's voice was loud, and his body moved in, giving way to his place.
Yu Yuemei looked at her daughter stiffly, at a loss.
Xiaobei smiled at his mother and opened the co-pilot's door, "Mom, you can't leave for a while, you come in first to warm up." ”
Su Xiaobei sat in generously and thanked the old man slightly, "Uncle, thank you." ”
"Oh? It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me uncle, whose child are you? What is your name? How old is this year? The old man laughed and asked with interest.
"My name is Su Xiaobei, I live in Daliang Village, and I will be 15 years old soon." Xiaobei thought to himself that this was Lin Xiangming's grandfather.
"What are you doing here?" The old man asked, pointing to the two carriages in front of him.
"Go to the county seat to deliver seafood."
"Oh? This is an oyster, isn't it? The old man's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.
His expression surprised Xiaobei, I heard that their Lin family was an official in the capital, hadn't this uncle seen oysters?
"yes, yes." Xiaobei took out a cold oyster from her pocket, which ran into her jacket pocket during the chaos just now.
The old man took it and put it under his nose and sniffed, his demeanor and demeanor were like smoking a big cigarette, which made Xiaobei laugh, "Uncle, aren't you fishy?" ”
"This is the taste of home! How long has it been since I've smelled such pure oysters, thirty years? The old man muttered to himself, reluctant to let go of the mud-stained oyster.
"Xiaobei, can you give this to me?" The old man actually made such a nonsensical request, Xiaobei was amused by him, "Uncle, there are a lot of them in the carriage, I'll bring you some, you go home and cook them." ”
"These are all fresh oysters, if you eat them raw, you can eat them with some large cakes, they are fresh and fragrant, but they are delicious."
The old man nodded approvingly, "Yes, I also ate raw oysters when I was young, but there were no big cakes to eat at that time, and I could eat two or three catties when I was so old as you." ”
Xiaobei was amused by him, and said in his heart that Lin Xiangming's grandfather was not as terrifying as the villagers legendary?
The carriage in front was loaded with goods, Su Radish came over and asked them to go back, Xiaobei thanked politely and pushed the door to get off.
This time, the jeep collectively leaned to the side, let their carriage pass first, and when passing the jeep, Xiaobei waved his hand to the old man in the car, and went to the city in a leisurely manner.
The old man looked behind for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Oh, people are useless when they are old, and I forgot to ask how this little girl dragged the horse." ”
The middle-aged man in the passenger seat looked back at him, "Old man, that kid kicked out a deep pit under his feet, and he relied on the strength of his arm to pull the startled horse." ”
The old man squinted slightly and leaned back in the chair, and sniffed the oyster again, the smile on his face was meaningful, "Hmm, Haitao, do you know why I forgot to ask this question?" ”
