"Drive!"

On a certain path at night, two horses spread their hooves and galloped freely, but the discontented knight on horseback only thought that it was not fast enough, and occasionally flicked his whip to urge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the wind blowing in the face was still mixed with the unique feminine chill of spring, and the hands holding the reins had long been frozen unconscious, but the two knights didn't seem to feel it at all, and there was only one common expectation in their hearts: run faster, faster, and be sure to catch up with the master for the last time.

During the day, I traveled all day to deliver letters, rested for less than half an hour, and gnawed a few mouthfuls of dry food and embarked on the road to find the master. Rao is Minyi has a good physical foundation, and the high-intensity exertion still makes her more and more unbearable, and after persisting for half an hour, her sitting posture is not as straight as at the beginning, and she is crumbling by the colder and colder night wind.

Jiang Zi behind her immediately keenly sensed the abnormality, and persuaded worriedly: "County Lord, take a rest, don't rush this moment, your body is important." ”

Min Yi didn't look back, and replied firmly: "No, the distance is not too far, it should be almost there." ”

Jiang Zi thought about it, and thought that her estimate was correct, so she didn't persuade any more. "Then if you really can't hold on, you can't be strong, you have to stop and rest."

As he spoke, a wooden archway appeared on the right fork in front of him, and two old oilcloth lanterns hung high next to the tall plaque, and the name of the village marked on the plaque could be vaguely seen after approaching.

"Gumu Village, that's right, this is it!" The muscles on Minyi's face had long been frozen by the cold wind, so stiff that she couldn't even squeeze out a smile, but her excited tone was enough to express the excitement in her heart.

"It's finally here!" Jiang Zi was also excited, and couldn't wait to urge: "Let's go in quickly, the path in the village is probably not so smooth, the county lord should be careful, don't let the horses run too fast." ”

Minyi nodded, and the two didn't dare to delay for a moment, and turned into the fork in the road where the archway was located.

The horse trotted through the grain fields, and a small village came into view. The smell of strangers broke the peace of the village at night, the roosters and dogs barked, and many farmers poked their heads out to check, and when they saw that they were two young ladies dressed as rich and noble, the villagers relaxed their vigilance, and only secretly speculated in their hearts about which noble guest it was.

Minyi and Jiang Zi looked at each other in a searching, light or dark, all the way east, to the oldest banyan tree in the east of the village, and knocked on the last room in the row of farmhouses next to the banyan tree according to the address.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Who are you looking for?" Someone in this family happened to be lying on the wall of the courtyard to observe the movement outside, and the door was soon opened, and a little boy with a tiger head asked crisply.

Minyi and Jiangzi were a little surprised when they saw that it was not the expected pearl dropping, and before they could answer, a peasant woman rushed out quickly when she heard the sound, looking at her age, like the boy's mother.

"This aunt, do you know the girl who descended the pearl?" Surprised for a moment, Jiang Zi was the first to come back to her senses, and asked the woman with a smiling face.

"Oh, so you're here to find the Pearl-Descending Girl." The peasant woman had a naturally loud voice, and the simple answer came out of her mouth as if she were arguing with someone, and it shook people's eardrums. Fortunately, although she is louder, she is a warm and laughing straight temper, and no one can hate that honest smiling face when she sees it.

The woman took half a step out of the door, leaned out and pointed to the swarthy next door: "Miss Zhuzhu and her master and uncle live next door to my house, and this courtyard has been uninhabited for many years, so it is a little barren, and weeds crawl all over the walls. After the pearl girl moved in, the villagers advised her to trim it, but she said that her master liked to see the weeds growing...... Raw chicken neck, eh, anyway, I like to look at the weeds, so I don't take care of it......"

They only asked, and the peasant woman answered a lot, and Minyi and Jiangzi were a little stunned when they met such an "enthusiastic" person for the first time. Just as he was about to ask what the hell was the "raw chicken neck", the little boy who opened the door first pulled his (river crab) mother's sleeve and corrected: "Mother, Sister Zhuzhu is talking about vitality." ”

"Oh...... Yes, yes, vibrant. The peasant woman suddenly realized, patted her head, and smiled embarrassedly at Minyi and the others: "I, a country woman, can't remember this kind of crepe words, which makes the two girls laugh." Anyway, her house is next door, do you want to let my pillar show you the way? ”

"No need Auntie, just two steps, we can find it ourselves." Minyi hurriedly waved her hand to thank her kindness, and at the end she didn't forget to raise a sweet smile and thank her: "Thank you aunt for your guidance, it's so late to bother you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, then you can go by yourself." The peasant woman waved her hand and watched them walk next door, and only after finding the courtyard door that was half covered by weeds knocked softly before closing the door of her house.

"Zhuzi, my mother said that your sister Zhuzhu has an extraordinary background. Look at the two female dolls who came to her, tsk...... The sign of life, dressed and pretty, look at the hairpin on the head, the ...... on the ear"

"Mother!" The pillar interrupted her impatiently: "No matter how well people dress, what does it have to do with our family." I always run next door and don't go to play with Sister Zhuzhu, what are you doing all this useless nonsense. ”

"My mother has never seen such beautiful clothes and jewelry, and it is impossible to talk about it......" The peasant woman laughed dryly, and led her son back to the house without mentioning it.

Minyi's master and servant naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the mother and son after closing the door, and according to her smooth finding the correct address, after knocking on the door, taking advantage of the gap in waiting, they couldn't help but praise the villagers in this village are really simple and hospitable. However, when the courtyard door was opened, and they saw the haggard pearl behind the door, they immediately left this sigh behind.

"County Lord, Senior Sister, you have finally arrived......" As soon as he saw the person who came, the eyes of the always strong Zhuzhu instantly turned red, and even his voice was crying.

Minyi and Jiang Zi "chuckled" in their hearts at the same time, and asked in unison, "How is Master?" ”

"Master, she fainted a few days ago and hasn't woken up until now, and the water and rice haven't been in for three consecutive days......" The pearl didn't hold back after all, and the tears were like pearls with broken threads, one after another across the face. Come in with me and take a look, maybe Master will wake up when he sees you both." ”

When the two of them heard this, their hearts were clenched together, where could they still care about placing their mounts, and they threw the reins at will and rushed into the house with the beads, and at the same time they couldn't help but shout: "Master, we are here......" (to be continued. )
