Chapter 3 Walking
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the villages in the distance gradually became dots, and Zhou Chengzhen patted the horse's head to slow it down.
Behind him, two small soft hands pushed his back.
It's pushing, not hugging.
used to take those women to ride horses in the capital, and they all wanted to grow up on him and hugged him desperately.
For the first time, he knew that he could push while riding with someone.
"Hey, we have a good heart, and we really have a tacit understanding of cooperation." He said with a smile and turned his head.
"It's not."
The girl behind her sat up straight and said.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted.
"You are a villain, just use the villain's heart to treat me, if I throw you down in Pengshui, forget it, in this kind of unfamiliar place, how could I do that kind of thing." He said.
"I'll be fine if you leave me in an unfamiliar place." Xie Roujia said, "I'm afraid you'll sell my horse." β
It's not that he has the heart to run away from the debt, and it's not that he is afraid that he will leave her, but for the sake of a brute......
Zhou Chengzhen snorted
"This is my horse." He said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whistle in his ear, and almost at the same time, the horse under him galloped forward.
Suddenly, he was tilted upside down.
"If you don't obey again, I'll beat you!" He yelled.
The little red horse obediently slowed down, as if what had just happened had not happened at all.
"Eat ungrateful things inside and out." Zhou Chengzhen hated and scolded, "If it weren't for me, you would have become a hedgehog long ago." β
The little red horse walked with a sigh of relief, and the people behind him were silent, except for the bird's claw-like hand grasping his back.
The two little brutes pretended not to understand human speech at this time.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted, shook the reins and shouted.
The little red horse galloped abruptly, and Zhou Chengzhen took the opportunity to deliberately fall backwards and smashed on Xie Roujia.
There was a muffled grunt behind him.
The pair of paws were squeezed between the two, and through the summer shirt, Zhou Chengzhen felt that someone was tightly grasping her back.
It's just that his flesh and bones are strong, and he has no fat at all, like an iron wall.
"Look, it's my horse." He said triumphantly, sitting up as he sat up, ready to do it again.
Before the voice fell, the claws landed on his head and face, and they grabbed it fiercely.
"Stop, stop."
"Have you had enough?"
"I'll throw you down, believe it or not!"
"Xie Roujia, take your dirty hands off my face, woo woo ......."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
As the daylight began to tilt, the bustle of the town's streets faded, but the silence was broken by the chaotic sound of horses' hooves.
Pedestrians and people in the shop pΓΉ all looked at the group of people who appeared.
The seven or eight people in this group were all tall horses, with capes and cool hats covering their faces, looking mysterious and unapproachable.
"Have you ever seen a red horse?"
Someone immediately jumped down and asked passers-by.
Passers-by waved their hands in fear.
The man asked all the way, and the rest waited where they were.
"Your Highness," one of the attendants asked, "Is that Shao Mingqing reliable for us to follow the trail of the horse?" What if His Highness abandons his horse? β
"He can walk without a horse." Dongping County King said.
The attendant was stunned.
So what kind of horses are you looking for?
Or maybe it's not looking for His Royal Highness?
The king of Dongping raised his hand and lifted his hat slightly.
"And what Shao Mingqing said is also reliable." He continued, looking ahead.
The attendant in front of him was talking to a shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper pointed in one direction, and the attendant turned and ran back.
"Lord Shi and Miss Roujia have settled in a restaurant in front of them." He whispered as he approached.
The door panel was already halfway installed, and the light in the room was a little dim because the attendant in front of the door was standing open and blocking the other half of the door.
Ran Tang watched the man in front of him take off his cloak and take off his cool hat, and couldn't help but smack his lips.
It must be a family, and this man is also beautiful.
The shopkeeper didn't care about whether people were beautiful or not, and he was even more distressed when he lost a tael of silver at this time.
"But what a thiefβ" He was about to cry when he raised his voice, and as soon as he raised his voice, he saw the man sitting down in front of him clasping his fingers on the table and looking up.
In all fairness, although the man in front of him is also good-looking, he is not as good-looking as the two thieves who escaped.
But he has a gentle temperament, and he seems to be more favorable than the thief, but at this moment, that gentle gaze suddenly becomes fierce.
It was as if he had been stabbed in the heart by an ice blade, and the shopkeeper's trembling cry vanished.
ββ¦ The little boy said that he and his little daughter-in-law were going to the Xiaoyang River Wharf to take a boat, and I showed him the way......"
ββ¦ He said that he was robbed yesterday, so he went to join his family..."
The king of Dongping County hummed.
"To the Xiaoyang River Wharf?" He asked.
The shopkeeper nodded busily.
"That's what he said." He said.
King Dongping smiled at him.
"Thank you." He said, standing up.
The shopkeeper was flattered and hurriedly bowed and returned the salute.
"Don't dare, don't dare." He said.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a gust of wind passed him out.
The shopkeeper hurriedly sent them out, watching them get on their horses and gallop away, and couldn't help but smile and raise their hands to send them off.
"Shopkeeper." The runner said later, "Do you say this is the little master's family or the little girl's family?" β
"I can't see it." The shopkeeper said.
The runner sighed, stretched out his hand and poked the shopkeeper.
"No matter who it is, it's the family of the little couple anyway, it's a family, why don't you ask them for food?" He asked.
Didn't the shopkeeper cry at the beginning just to ask for money? Why didn't you mention the last bit of money?
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
"I don't dare." He muttered.
After saying that, the three souls and six spirits returned to their positions, and when they thought of their losses, they suddenly slapped their legs.
"My money is flying again in front of my eyes."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The last glimmer of light on the horizon vanished, and the night covered the heavens and the earth.
Xie Roujia looked at the faint ahead.
"Are you sure you're not on the wrong track?" She said.
On the other side of the little red horse, Zhou Chengzhen sighed.
"Why haven't you arrived at the docks yet?" Xie Roujia asked.
"How do I know, I'm not a dock." Zhou Chengzhen said.
You!
Xie Roujia stopped.
The little red horse immediately stopped, and Zhou Chengzhen, who was still walking with the reins on the other side, was dragged down.
"Hey, what?" He shouted, tugging at the reins, "Let's go." β
The little red horse leaned half of his body towards him, in response to his order.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted and threw the reins around.
"You can't walk, then we'll ride again, still one and a half, this time you're in front of me and I'm behind." He said.
Xie Roujia ignored him and looked around.
Xiaoyang River Wharf.
River...
Where is the river around here?
She closed her eyes and felt the grass, trees, birds and insects in the night, the wind blowing her face and her hands.
Where is the river? Where is the river?
The wind swept in from all directions, carrying the fishy smell of muddy water, the fragrance of plants and trees, and the dampness of mist.
But there is no river, there is no river....
Someone slapped her on the head.
Xie Roujia lowered her head with a snort and almost fell.
"What are you doing? Sleepy? Falling asleep while standing? Zhou Chengzhen frowned and said.
Xie Roujia looked at him.
"You're lying, there's no pier here, there's no river." She said.
Zhou Chengzhen glared and looked up again to pat her forehead.
"Do you know the way?" He asked.
Xie Roujia shook her head.
"Are you sleepy?" Zhou Chengzhen glared and said, "How do you know if there is none?" β
"I feel." Xie Roujia said.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted, ignored her, and turned around to find a tree around.
"Don't go, I'm tired, I'll rest here tonight." He said.
The bonfire was lit, and Xie Roujia leaned against the lying red horse with her eyes closed and motionless, the fragrance lingering between her noses, and she remained unmoved until an oily paw touched her face.
She raised her hand to knock away the chicken paws that were scratching her, and opened her eyes to look at Zhou Chengzhen.
Zhou Chengzhen lifted half of the pheasant up.
"To eat or not to eat?" He asked.
Xie Roujia looked at him, and Zhou Chengzhen's hand shrank back again.
"Daughter-in-law, call good brother......" he raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Before the words fell, Xie Roujia's hand snapped on his face.
Zhou Chengzhen sat on the ground with one foot.
"I hunted pheasants!" He shouted, "Eat me, drink me, shouldn't you call out brother?" β
Xie Roujia stood up and was about to walk out, but Zhou Chengzhen grabbed her leg.
"Hey, just kidding." He said.
Xie Roujia raised her foot to kick him, but as soon as Zhou Chengzhen's hand was forced, she couldn't help but sit on the ground with a muffled snort.
"Okay, let's eat, make trouble at every turn, it's been a day and two nights, and you're not tired." Zhou Chengzhen stuffed the pheasant into her hand, clapped her hands and walked away.
Xie Roujia looked at the pheasant in her hand and bit it.
Zhou Chengzhen, who was sitting on the other side of the campfire, picked up half a black shapeless pheasant from the fire.
"I'm so good, I can bake it the second time." He muttered to himself and threw the meat into the fire.
In fact, Hu cakes that are not whole hemp should not be unpleasant, I don't know what it tastes like.
