There is a road leading north to the Han River, and in the past, horse-drawn carriages often raised large clouds of dust, but at this time, it became muddy due to the rain of the day, and the horse's hooves stepped on, making a "poof" sound.

Eighteen horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods had to slow down in the mud on rainy nights, and although they had been going back and forth once a day, they had to slow down.

The road in the rain was bumpy and abnormal, and the two people lying on the goods were afraid of being thrown out of the tarpaulin, so they held the rope under them tightly with both hands, and along the way, Zhao Xian only felt that the bones in her body were scattered, but she still didn't dare to move, for fear of alarming the people who drove the car.

Yin Ren beside her has been quietly watching her, seeing her coming all the way, her body has not changed in one position, although she tries her best to control it, her pursed lips reveal the real situation. Yin Ren knew that Zhao Xian had never suffered such hardships, but now she did not show any displeasure, and felt more and more that she was different from ordinary women, and there was more than one layer of admiration in pity.

If people concentrate their minds on a certain place, the feeling in that place is especially obvious, just like at this moment, Zhao Xian is afraid of being thrown off, and her hands are tightly clasped on the rope, so that the hand that grabs the rope is more and more painful, so she has to grit her teeth and struggle to support it, and even her lower lip has been bitten, and she is unaware.

The road in the night rain became more and more difficult, the road in the rain was potholed, the car was moving, the wheels did not know where to press, and suddenly bounced up, and a cart of goods was also shaken, Zhao Xian, who was about to be unable to support it, was shocked by this shock, and his right hand could no longer hold the rope, and he involuntarily let go, and his body was about to slide down.

Zhao Xian was startled, her right hand grabbed it indiscriminately, but she grabbed the clothes of the people around her, Zhao Xian knew that she had made a mistake as soon as she grabbed it, and hurriedly let go of her hand, but her body could no longer slide down uncontrollably, Zhao Xian secretly screamed in her heart.

At the critical moment, an arm suddenly crossed the back of her waist, firmly supporting her side waist, and blocking her downward trend in time, Zhao Xian knew that Yin Ren had helped her, smiled at Yin Ren awkwardly, gently wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with her free right hand, and continued to look for a rope to grasp.

Yin Ren quietly moved a few inches to Zhao Xian's side, and made a few lip shapes between opening and closing his mouth.

Zhao Xian instantly understood Yin Ren's thoughts, hurriedly blinked to show that she understood, stretched out her right hand over Yin Ren's back, did not stop, and slid down again until Yin Ren's waist, and then held it tightly, and after her body stabilized, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Ren felt sorry for Zhao Xian's hand, and motioned with her eyes to let go of her left hand, just hold herself with both hands, Zhao Xian blinked again and said that it was not like this, how could she put her weight on Yin Ren's one arm?

In the previous tense atmosphere, Zhao Xian did not notice that the two of them were already very close to each other, and only when they eased up did they realize the intimate distance between themselves and Yin Ren.

Yin Ren and Zhao Xian were close to each other's shoulders, or even he half-wrapped Zhao Xian's body, feeling Zhao Xian's unique softness in the dark, his heartbeat immediately accelerated, and his heart was already rippling with the shaking carriage.

Surrounded by the people who made his heart move, even if one person supported the weight of almost two people alone, in the cramped space, maintaining a posture for a long time, Yin Ren's right arm also felt slightly sore, but this soreness had long been replaced by a heart full of joy. He only wished that this difficult bumpy road would be longer, and that time would pass more slowly.

When the convoy came to the bank of the Han River, the leader in front of the car shouted: "Phew! Stop! All the carriages stopped one after another, and the headlights hung on the carriage were like a long flickering dragon in the rainy night, looking at a big ship by the river.

The ship remained silently on the shore, silently hidden in the night. The constant sound of horses' hooves alarmed the men who were standing quietly on the ship, and the man who had been waiting on the deck heard the sound, his eyes lit up, and he turned and ran back into the cabin, and in a short time he carried a lamp and led a thin man out of the cabin, followed by a group of people.

When the leader of the convoy saw the man, he hurriedly hugged his fist at the man, and said in a loud voice: "The little one came to deliver eighteen truckloads of grain, please check it by Deputy Pang." ”

Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, the thin deputy Pang said with a smile: "It turned out to be you!" With a wave of his hand, the group of people behind him immediately stretched out a few long planks from the boat with their hands and feet and put them on the shore, and in an instant they set up the pedals for getting on the boat.

Deputy Pang walked down steadily, came to the front of the leader of the convoy, looked left and right at the carriage convoy lined up, and nodded with satisfaction: "It has rained for a day, and the road here must be extremely difficult. ”

The team leader waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay!" The little ones originally relied on this line of food to eat, a little hard work is nothing, Deputy Pang is so polite, but it is a little shame! ”

Deputy Pang smiled: "You are a talker." After that, he tore off a sign from his waist and said, "Although we are all old acquaintances, we still have to do this thing, so let's check tonight's token first." ”

The team leader also took out a sign from his arms and handed it over with both hands, Deputy Pang took it and put it together, looked carefully at it by the light of the lanterns of the people around him, and stretched out the two signs in front of the team leader and said, "You can also take a look!" ”

The team leader leaned over and looked at it twice, and said flatteringly: "Not bad! It is tonight's token, and Deputy Pang is really doing things safely. ”

Zhao Xian and the others, who were lying under the oilcloth in the carriage, listened to the conversation between the two outside, and thought in their hearts that they were strict, and they even had to check the tokens for everything they did in their daily lives, and it would not be easy to get on the boat.

Deputy team Na Pang patted the leader on the shoulder and said: "This rain is tired, I see that the brothers' clothes are wet, why don't you go to the cabin first and drink a cup of hot tea to get rid of the moisture, rest for a while, and after I unload the food, your brothers will come out and drive the car back?" ”

Then he commanded the people who followed him: "You take your brothers in and entertain them, don't be lazy!" ”

The leader of the team hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and then beckoned the rest of the coachmen to follow the people around Deputy Pang to the pedal and into the cabin.

When Deputy Pang saw that the coachmen had all boarded the boat, he waved his hand behind him, and the group of people on the boat walked down quickly and stood in two columns.

The deputy team said: "You two are in a team, quickly carry the grain on the car onto the ship." Then he casually pointed his hand at the car at the end of the convoy and said, "Start there." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xian was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Yin Ren with her eyes, but she quickly calculated in her mind, how to escape from the car without knowing it, and there was no good way to think about it, so her eyes became a little anxious.

There are obviously some well-trained people outside, I'm afraid that it won't be long before I get to this car, and when I lift the tarpaulin, I will find her and Yin Ren, so they come all the way, I'm afraid they will fall short, thinking of this, Zhao Xian's sweat beads fell down drop by drop, and her breathing began to be messy.

Yin Ren, who was lying beside him, obviously felt Zhao Xian's anxiety, and his hand holding Zhao Xian's side tightened again, Zhao Xian looked back at Yin Ren, and saw that he smiled silently at her, and his smile was full of reassuring emotions.

Zhao Xian thought that Yin Ren had always been witty and never did anything uncertain, so her heart gradually settled down, adjusted her breathing, and only followed Yin Ren quietly.

After another moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and the sound seemed to be coming quickly towards the carriage they were in, and it stopped at the side of the carriage after a short while, and Zhao Xian's heart rose again.

At this time, there was a light cough outside the car, Zhao Xian's back was cold, and the oilcloth covering her body was lifted, and at the same time, Yin Ren also let go of the hand holding her side waist.
