Chapter Twenty-Three: Traveling and Traveling Asking with a chariot and a horse
It is almost autumn, the morning light is faint, and the morning dew reflects the sun. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiaoyu gradually woke up from a long sleep, stretched out his eyes, still a little misty, looked around, only then remembered yesterday's situation, and the taste in his heart was inexplicable. Lifting his body with his hands, seeing that the sparks in the bonfire were dim and unknown, Mu Changsheng was still sitting cross-legged on the side, thinking that it had been a night. Suddenly, I saw a green robe draped over my body, and I went to see Mu Changsheng's body, and there was no outer robe. In the morning, it was cool, Xiaoyu gently wrapped the green robe tightly, and felt warm and comfortable, as well as in her heart. After waiting for a while, seeing that Mu Changsheng still had no intention of waking up, Xiao Yu stood up lightly and walked carefully towards the river. The red sun wheel rises, the river surface is like fire, the water ripples, sparkling like a phoenix feather for a while, and the layers are like mountains. Xiaoyu squatted down and tried it in the river with her white and pure hands, and suddenly felt a sense of coolness soaked through, and she couldn't stand it. He withdrew his hand, took out a brocade handkerchief between his sleeves, swayed left and right on the water surface, soaked a little bit, and gently wiped it on his face, only to feel cool and translucent, and couldn't help but shudder, but he was a lot sober.
Mu Changsheng had noticed it when Xiaoyu first woke up, and now that Xiaoyu had returned, he slowly opened his eyes. When Xiaoyu saw it, she smiled and said, "Childe is awake." Mu Changsheng nodded with a smile and slowly stood up. A trace of hesitation flashed in Xiaoyu's eyes, so she bit her lip and said, "Childe use it to wipe his face." When Mu Changsheng heard this, he saw Xiaoyu handing over a **** Jinpa, and when he raised his eyes, Xiaoyu's sideburns and eyebrows were still a little watery, and he knew that she was going to the waterside to wash, and her heart was really a Qingling daughter, and she loved it very much. Mu Changsheng couldn't bear to live up to Xiaoyu's Yinyin, so he took the Jinpa, wiped it on his face, and he liked the coldness, so he handed it back and said, "Thank you Xiaoyu." Xiao Yu raised her hand and withdrew it, hid it in her sleeve, and shook her head slightly, with a smile on her face. Xiaoyu then took off the green robe and said, "Son, put it on quickly, don't catch a cold." Mu Changsheng felt that the coolness had subsided in the morning, so he smiled and took the green robe and put it on. Seeing that the sky was already clear, he beckoned Xiaoyu to leave, and Xiaoyu obediently followed.
The two continued along the main road. After a while, the sun is high, and there is a slight sense of warmth. Xiaoyu's steps are short, although she has to be taken care of by Mu Changsheng, and she deliberately slows down her pace, but her strength is still gradually declining. At this time, her forehead was already full of dense sweat, and she took out the brocade from time to time to wipe it off, although she was physically and mentally tired, she didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would be impatient with Changsheng, so she had to grit her teeth and try her best to keep up. After Mu Changsheng noticed it, he stopped and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your hand." Xiao Yu was startled, and didn't know what he meant, so he timidly handed over his palm, and was held in the palm of his hand by Mu Changsheng. Xiao Yu suddenly felt exhausted, his body was light and calm, and his heart was very different, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Mu Changsheng didn't let go, so he took Xiaoyu's little hand and walked again. Xiao Yu was taken by him, and his body followed the trend, only to feel that Mu Changsheng's palm was thick and powerful, so he blushed, and the little surprise in his heart was gone, and he obediently let Mu Changsheng hold him.
Mu Changsheng took Xiao Yu by the hand, and from time to time a spiritual aura crossed over, the two walked briskly, and Xiao Yu was not tired after walking for a long time, and he didn't realize that the day was moving to the sky. Suddenly, there was a hidden sound of chariots and horses behind him, and soon after, a group of chariots and horses came one after another, passing by. There were stacks of goods on them, and more than a dozen men took care of them. Mu Changsheng saw a person in front of him, shouting from time to time, and knew that he was a master, so he beckoned: "Hurry." When the man heard this, he stopped the carriage and jumped over. The other cars continued as usual, but slowed down. The man was dressed in a short shirt, with a dark face and thick eyebrows, and he had already seen Mu Changsheng and the two of them at that time, and he wanted to come to the official road, but there were no people in front and back, but there were two people walking on foot, how could it not be weird? When he saw that Mu Changsheng was extraordinary, carrying a sword weapon on his back, and holding a beautiful and delicate girl, he put on a smiling face and said, "What is the son's business?" Mu Changsheng said, "Where are you going?" The man rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Childe also saw it, we are just transporting some worthless items back and forth." They are all unsuccessful people, and where they have something to go, they will earn some money to make a living wherever they pass. Mu Changsheng said, "I see." I don't know if you still have room in this carriage, we are tired of walking, and we want to take a ride with you, so we can only go to the next town. When the man heard this, he said, "Son, forgive me, it's not that I don't want to, but my car is immediately filled with goods, and there is no space." When Mu Changsheng heard this, he didn't know the mystery, stretched out his hand to fish, and grabbed a piece of silver, and said: "I don't know where the next town is, when will it take for the two of us to get there on foot, and I also ask the eldest brother to think of ideas and make it convenient, and this ingot of silver will be used as a reward." When the man saw the silver ingot, he thought for a while, and then said, "Childe is polite, just call me Xu Si." In your words, it makes sense. Okay, you guys come with me first, and we'll take it slowly. When Mu Changsheng heard this, he handed over the silver ingot, and Xu Si was not polite, and grabbed it in his pocket. Mu Changsheng helped Xiaoyu into the carriage and lived in that place of size. Then he jumped up and stood firmly. Xu Si said in front at this time: "Sit tight." Then he snapped and whipped the horse's thighs, and the horse neighed and ran out. In the car, Xiaoyu sat down tightly with Mu Changsheng, but the hand still grabbed Mu Changsheng and refused to let go.
In a moment, the carriage and horses in front of him came into view. Xu Si drove forward and shouted: "It's noon, brothers, take a rest, eat some food, and go later." When they heard this, they stopped moving forward, drove the cars to the side of the road one by one, gathered in one place, and took out dry food and water bladders to eat and drink. Xu Si said: "Childe, wait first, I'll go and talk to everyone, so I can move some places for Childe." Mu Changsheng said at this time: "Brother Xu stays." Xu Sidao: "Childe still has something?" Mu Changsheng took out a silver ingot as usual, handed it over, and said, "Brother Xu, can you give us some food?" Xu Si smiled and said, "It's easy to say." And he took the money, and departed. Soon, he came back with a water bladder and a paper bag, and said, "There is only some cooking cake and water, and the son will be right." Mu Changsheng took it and smiled: "It's okay." Then they handed it to Xiaoyu and said, "Eat." At this time, Xu Si smiled again: "We have just done a rough inspection, if the goods are compactly loaded, we can probably free up a carriage, but it will take some effort." Mu Changsheng smiled and said, "That's good, there are Brother Laoxu." Then he gave him a minot. How could Xu Si excuse himself, stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "Wait a while, and from time to time you will serve the carriage and horses." And he went away with a smile.
Mu Changsheng saw that Xu Si was happy, but he sighed in his heart that his greed was insufficient, and the three ingots of silver before and after were already very expensive to ordinary people. However, Mu Changsheng didn't value it, so he left it up to him. Xiaoyu was still sitting obediently, but the water and the cake did not move, she saw Mu Changsheng turn around, so she said angrily: "Why can't the prince see that he is coaxing your silver, those silver taels are more than enough to buy ten carriages, but let him take advantage of it." Mu Changsheng saw the strange look, his willow eyebrows were flat, his mouth was slightly upturned, and he smiled: "In this case, why didn't Xiaoyu remind me?" Xiao Yu bit her lip and said, "If Xiao Yu says it, won't she refute the face of the child?" Attracted those people to look down on the son for no reason, and said that the son would abandon Xiaoyu and go alone. Mu Changsheng laughed and feigned anger: "Okay, good, they didn't look down on me, but you came to entertain me." Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Yu doesn't dare." Mu Changsheng smiled: "Okay, I haven't eaten since morning, eat quickly, and block your clever mouth." Xiao Yu said no more, and opened the paper bag, which contained two pancakes. Xiaoyu picked up one and said with a smile: "Childe eats first." Mu Changsheng said softly: "I'm not hungry, you just take care of yourself." Xiao Yu frowned and said: "Childe only ate half a fish yesterday, and now there is no drop of water, Xiaoyu is already hungry, how can Childe not be hungry?" Childe, take it and eat it. Mu Changsheng had the heart to explain, but he stopped, how could ordinary people believe the matter of opening the valley in his heart? He said, "I'm really not hungry." Xiao Yu seemed to be angry when she heard this, so she rewrapped the paper and said, "If the son doesn't eat it, Xiao Yu won't eat it either." Seeing this, Mu Changsheng shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll eat it." Xiao Yu handed the cake again, and when she saw Mu Changsheng chewing it slowly, she happily tore off half of the other cake, quietly bit off the small piece, and chewed sweetly. After Mu Changsheng ate the whole cake, Xiaoyu offered the water bladder again, and Mu Changsheng had to take a shallow sip. At this time, Xu Si came over again and said, "The son eats well, if you still need the side, just say it, Xu Si will go and prepare." Mu Changsheng said: "Thank you, Brother Xu, I don't know if the carriage is ready?" Xu Si smiled and said: "I came to do this for this matter, and I have already prepared, and the son will come with me." Mu Changsheng went to call Xiaoyu.
When Xu Si came, Mu Changsheng went to talk to him, Xiao Yu went to untie the water bladder, took his eyes and peeked lightly, and when he saw that the two of them were unconscious, he blushed and put his mouth up, wanting to drink some water. Who expected that at this time, Mu Changsheng turned around and saw clearly. Xiao Yu's eyes widened for a moment, and then her cheeks became dizzy, and she choked on a mouthful of water in her throat, and she couldn't stop coughing. Mu Changsheng hurriedly went to her back and stroked her, and said, "You, you are not careful when you drink water." He didn't know that Xiao Yu was already ashamed and angry in his heart. Xiao Yu passed through him, and the cough gradually stopped, but a face was like a sunhalo, delicate and extraordinary. Xu Si on the side couldn't take his eyes off it. Mu Changsheng said to Xiao Yu: "Brother Xu has prepared the carriage and horses, let's go with him." Xiao Yu nodded lightly, and was helped down by Mu Changsheng, still holding his hand. Xu Si was busy leading the way at this time.
Mu Changsheng and Xiaoyu followed Xu Si all the way, during which the dozen or so men gathered in twos and threes, some of them were gossiping, some were counting the goods, and when they saw Xu Si and the three of them, they were all curious. Many of them focused on Xiao Yu. Although Xiaoyu's appearance is not alluring, it is also pleasing to the eye. Coupled with a delicate and pitiful appearance, it is really likable. Xiao Yu sensed the burning meaning, and couldn't help but lean towards Mu Changsheng. Of course, Mu Changsheng knew the reason, frowned slightly, and tightened his palm, holding Xiao Yusu's hand steadily. Although those men seemed rude, they just watched quietly, and when the three of them had passed, they went back to doing their own things.
Xu Si led Mu Changsheng and Xiaoyu to a pair of carriages and horses, and said with a smile: "Childe, please see, this is it, although it is a little simpler." Then he pointed to a tall man sitting in front of the car and said, "Son, but sit, drive to my brother." "Mu Changsheng looks at it, it is indeed simple, but it is better to be neat, this Xu Si is an understanding person. He bowed his hand to the man and said, "There is this brother." The man only nodded. Xu Sidao: "It's good if the son is satisfied, so don't bother." ”
After a short while, the convoy slowly set off and continued on its way.
