There weren't many weapons on display on the shelves in the shop, but there were a few swords, and the daggers I had tried one by one.

Because I had to rush to hire a car, I didn't have to wait too long.

It's the warmest time of the day, so hurry up and pick up a car and set off.

By the time the sun goes down, you should be able to get on the carriage for a long way.

It's something I thought about before I came.

The speed of selection and the speed of payment were so fast that I didn't even bother to negotiate carefully.

"Xiaoling," said the boy when he came out of the shop with me, and when he walked out into the street, "you seem to have bought too much!" “

When I heard him say this, I subconsciously reached out and took out the dagger I had bought from my sleeve, held it in my hand and looked at it carefully.

The workmanship is really not exquisite, and you get what you pay for.

Looking away from the dagger and looking at the young man, I asked disapprovingly, "What's the matter?" ”

The young man said calmly: "Xiaoling, I think with the price here, it can't be so expensive." ”

"Think about the price of our tea and food, if it weren't for the fish, the best restaurant in the town wouldn't be that expensive."

Dizzy! I stopped and stared at him for a few seconds before saying, "Hey, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"Don't talk about it when you're in the shop, and tell me when you come out."

I glared at him, lowered my head, and said to myself, is hindsight useful? The money is all paid!

The young man looked at me and said in an innocent tone: "Xiaoling, I don't like you yet." I won't spoil you! “

He turned his head to look at me, and continued in a calm tone: "Xiaoling, in fact, it seems to me. As long as you like it, there is no inappropriate price! ”

Proper young master ideas!

"Then you say this now, do you respond to me or" I frowned and looked at him, my eyes facing each other, and the boy quickly turned his head.

What does this guy think, what do you mean, I was silent when I bought it. Now that I have come out to say this, will I be happy to hear it? It's very congested, isn't it?!

"Xiaoling, I'm telling you to remind you." The boy paused, reached out and patted me lightly on the shoulder, and said in a sincere tone, "Next time." If you're shopping alone. Remember to check the market in advance! ”

I shook my head at him speechlessly, and after a while, I said, "Hey, you are a fast learner, and you will remember it when I said it casually when I hired a car." ”

I'm holding that dagger in my hand, it's really light, or forget it?!

Thinking about the money that the boy got later, he decided to plant it this time. "Are you going to fight the return?" The boy saw me standing there with my head bowed. I thought I was upset and offered to bring it up.

I shook my head and said, "No. Let's go, I'm troublesome to buy it, anyway, you said it, the money is enough. “

If I'm going to be staying in a small town for a few days, I'm going to have to go in again

I put the dagger away and went back with the boy.

Walking to the vicinity of the hired car, the young man turned to me and asked, "Xiaoling, why did you insist on going first?" ”

"There are a lot of drivers over there, and you don't ask the price." "I saw you drinking tea at a tea stall, sitting in the middle of a bunch of coachmen, they were all chatting, I thought you were going to ask the price directly after chatting a few words."

"You guessed wrong, I sat at the tea stall to listen to the market, the approximate price, but the car thing"

I stopped talking, looked at him word by word and said, "I think, wait a minute." ”

"What are you waiting for?" The boy raised his head and asked in a stunned tone.

I shook my head and didn't bother to say, he'll find out soon anyway, let me sell it

When I walked under the big tree, I saw a carriage that had just stopped, and the color and style were very eye-catching, different from the pile of cars parked under the tree.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and my hanging heart was put down, in fact, I saw it when I was standing on the street.

Earlier, on the streets of the town, I had spotted a horse-drawn carriage that looked a little abrupt.

But it was just a glimpse at that time, and I didn't take it to heart, but when it was time for the tea stall to drink tea, I sat there quietly and thought about things.

I remembered the scene I had seen on the street.

This kind of carriage is seen on the street, and the intuition is definitely not that of the town.

That's why I didn't bother to ask the price, and I wasn't interested in bargaining directly with those drivers!

Because I want to try my luck and get the car I want!

Isn't that -- right now!

Seeing me stop, the young man was puzzled and a little confused, he couldn't help but lean over and ask me, "Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Look over there, look!" I pointed to the bottom of the tree.

"See that carriage, right?" I asked, staring at the boy.

The boy followed my line of sight, and saw the carriage, which looked a little strange in a pile of cars, parked under the tree, and the coachman came down in a dusty manner.

It seemed that the coachman had driven a long way here, tired and thirsty.

As soon as the guests left, the coachman immediately ran to the tea stall, asked for tea and snacks in one go, and then sat down on a stool to rest.

The young man not only looked at the coachman, but also focused his eyes on the carriage, staring closely at the scene, watching the coachman come down, and then watching him go to the tea stall.

After a while, he slowly retracted his gaze and said in a low voice: "It's been a long time since I went back to Suzhou, but I can still see it" "Oh, you've been to Suzhou, just confirm it for me," I nodded with satisfaction, reached out and pushed the young man's arm and smiled: "This is the kind of car I'm waiting for, you finally know." ”

"There aren't many guests from the town to Suzhou," I said with a smile on my lips and a slowed tone, "but there are always a few of them throughout the day." "In the same way, there will be guests who come in the opposite direction." After a pause, I continued in a calm tone, "From Suzhou to the town." Or even further afield."

Within Sealand, it is similar to any other country, and the flow of business and trade and people is unavoidable.

It is precisely because of the flow of people that the business of hiring horse-drawn carriages can be born, which is the same as hiring a boat to travel far away in the river.

"The coachman was right when he said that the treacherous passage of the river. The people of both places know it, so it is not only the kings from the capital who will choose the land route. “

I bowed my head and was silent for a moment, then looked up at the young man and said, "Ordinary people choose to take carriages when they go far away. ”

"I think. This kind of car that needs to go back to Suzhou should always be cheaper than the car that goes directly to the town. ”

-- The most important point!

"Xiaoling, how did you come up with it?" The young man looked a little surprised in his eyes, and his tone was a little excited. It seems like a great idea!

I almost didn't choke. The truth of the heart is often encountered before crossing, isn't it the return car?

What is the eldest young master doing so much fuss?

Could it be that the eldest young master has a new idea in his head?

I whispered to him in the distance, saying that it was definitely not the first time that the coachman over there had come to the town with the carriage of Suzhou City, but the coachman went to the tea stall to rest, and some of his colleagues in the town gathered around him to chat with him.

When I approached the boy, I heard the coachman complaining while eating snacks and drinking tea: "The guest has been urging, please get here quickly." ”

The coachman from Suzhou City wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "I set the car two days ago, and I went out in the middle of the night in a hurry, and I arrived here until now." ”

"Rushing to the night?" A coachman sitting across from him asked. "It's a lot of adventure to travel at night."

"I can't help it, if it weren't for the money. Where are you willing to rush to the night road, after all, it is dangerous at night," the coachman glanced at his peers and said in a sullen tone, "It rained in the second half of the night, and it was delayed for more than an hour. ”

The coachman said in a melancholy tone: "I temporarily found a mountain temple to hide from the rain, and I waited for the rain to stop before setting off." “

"The mountain road is not easy to walk, and there are cave-ins in some places."

At this point, his expression looked a little scared.

The face of the coachman from Suzhou City changed, and he said in a solemn tone: "You have to be more careful when you go back." “

"Oh, this is important news, if there are guests going to Suzhou today, we have to think about it."

Several coachmen exchanged ears when they heard this.

The one from Suzhou City put down the tea bowl in his hand and said with a wry smile: "I'm unlucky, I have to rush back in time, someone has booked a car tomorrow morning." ”

"Business is so good!"

"There is always money to be earned."

The conversation of the coachmen sounded at the tea stall, and I exchanged glances with the boy, and needless to say, I understood what each other meant.

After a few brief discussions, this time, it was decided that I would come forward.

I walked to the tea stall, smiled at the driver from Suzhou City, and asked him, "Are you going back to Suzhou, my eldest brother and I are also going, can you take a ride?" "It turns out that we want to hire a car here, and you are from Suzhou, what a coincidence."

The coachman's eyes lit up, he looked at me and said, "Are you going to Suzhou?" ”

"That's right, I'm looking for a car," a faint smile crossed my lips, and I said to the driver in a gentle tone, "I happened to meet you, and we happened to come from Suzhou City, and we were lucky!" ”

Listening to my words and emphasize Suzhou, the coachman seemed very happy, he nodded and said, "Rest for half an hour, and I'll be on my way." ”

I glanced at the tea and snacks on his table, and said in a gentle tone, "Okay, when you're done, let's take a step to talk." ”

I have made up my mind to negotiate the price, I can't avoid them in front of so many people.

It's not that I want to hide it, but I was a little embarrassed to listen to the market after listening to the carriage in so many small towns, and I didn't hire the carriages in so many small towns, and I sat and drank tea with them. "I'll wait next to your car with my big brother."

In an instant, the coachman nodded and said, "Okay, wait for me, it'll be fine right away." ”

I have a lot of tea in my stomach, and this time I won't take care of the business of the tea stall owner, and then I will call a pot of tea, and it is rare for a teenager to take a sip, I am drinking!

The boy and I walked slowly to the carriage from Suzhou City, and waited under the big tree, waiting for the coachman to come over for a while.

With business in mind, the driver didn't make us wait too long.

After about a quarter of an hour, he hurriedly paid for his tea and walked to the carriage.

The place where we were standing was still about 20 meters away from the tea stall, so if we kept the conversation low, we couldn't hear it clearly.

Despite this, the coachman allowed us to the other side of the carriage, which was equivalent to being blocked by the carriage.

From the angle of sitting on the tea stall, it is a place where the view is blocked.

He also doesn't want those peers to hear the price.

I asked for the price, and the driver was very realistic, and the price given was within our minds.

Out of an abundance of caution, I asked, "Did you say that there was a landslide on the road, which was serious, or was it that the carriage could pass through and not be affected?" ”

Don't ask clearly, I'm not sure, safety first.

"The mountain road will be a little more difficult, and it will definitely take longer than usual to get to Suzhou City," replied the coachman honestly, "but it is still possible to walk, at least when I come, and it doesn't look like it is going to rain at this moment." ”

"How many times have you been driving along this road?" I asked again.

The coachman smiled when he heard this: "Little brother, I don't know how many times I have been between Suzhou and the town." ”

"Then dare to be kind, do you know how we will settle in case of rain?" I pursed my lips and tilted my head to ask him.

Everything has to be prepared with both hands, and the weather looks good at the moment, but in case something goes wrong on half of the road, we have to discuss how to deal with it in advance.

I remember when I was with a teenager, there were variables in the mountains, let alone all the way from the town to Suzhou.

"Don't worry, I know where to hide from the rain in caves and ruined temples, and even the villages I pass by on the road."

The driver heard the concern in my tone, patted his chest and packed the ticket.

"Well, then I'll rest assured," after a brief silence, the corners of my mouth tugged slightly, "Do you think we still need to buy more food?" ”

"My eldest brother and I just went to the shop in town and bought some dry food and snacks."

I untied the cloth bag from the boy's shoulder, untied it and showed it to the coachman. "Enough, enough to eat on the road." The coachman replied.

Everything was negotiated, the price was negotiated, and I got into the carriage with the boy!

The coachman raised his whip, the wheels kicked up dust, and we drove out of town under the sight of those sitting at the tea stalls!

The carriage drove on the mountain road, galloping all the way, heading in the direction where Suzhou City was located!

I was worried that as soon as the boy got in the car, he would immediately behave like him in the morning, close his eyes and ignore people, but fortunately this time it was beyond my expectations.

The boy directly lifted the curtain of the carriage window and tied a knot.

The mountain breeze came in through the window, and it wasn't cold at this time, just enough to see the scenery outside. (To be continued......)
