Chapter 18: Puyang watched the battle of the bumpy ocean
Presumably, in addition to the eagle, the moon and stars in the sky should also be able to see the whole earth at once, if there are any utensils placed on the stars, the moon and the moon, how good it would be, the terrain of all parts of the world will be known at once, and you can see it whenever you want.
But if you have the ability to fly to the sky, wouldn't you be able to be like an eagle, it seems that you have to cultivate hard.
After sitting for a while, feeling sleepy, Zimo returned to the house and lay on the bed, and fell asleep again after a while.
Five more chickens crow to chase the jade rabbit. With the rooster crowing, the townspeople got up and started a new day.
The master and apprentice also freshened up, went downstairs to have some breakfast, tidied up the package, and left the guest room.
As soon as I walked out of the inn gate. I saw a lot of people standing in front of the door, and it was Meng Ye who was at the head. As soon as Meng Ye saw Zimo coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan has seen Mozi, because I don't know when you will get up, it is not good to go in and disturb without permission, so I am waiting here." When the villagers knew that you were leaving, they all took the initiative to see you off. ”
"There are neighbors in Laozhong, Zimo has thanked me here, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will come to visit you again." Zimo was very moved and bowed to everyone, "Zimo will say goodbye, there will be a period later!" ”
As soon as Meng Ye beckoned, the soldier came over with a carriage, and Meng Ye said, "The road is hard, and the lower official has prepared a deputy carriage and horse to give you leg strength." ”
"Thank you, General!" Zimo was overjoyed.
Let the master sit in the carriage first, the carriage has been paved with daylilies, and there are wooden stools, although it is a little simple, but shelter from the wind and rain is not a problem, at that time, there are special requirements for horses and carriages, and it is not good to mess up the etiquette system because of enjoyment. Zimo took the horsewhip and sat on the wheel, although he had not driven the carriage, but he had used the ox cart, it was much the same.
Holding a horsewhip, he hugged his fist at Meng Ye and his neighbors, and said, "Farewell!" With a whiplash, the carriage drove towards Puyang City, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake.
On this way, although there is a carriage to travel, light legs and feet, but sitting in the carriage, is by no means a kind of enjoyment, especially this kind of horse-drawn car, the body of the car is small, the whole hair flutters, a whip, the horse goes a little faster, the car is bumpy up and down, wooden wheels, no elasticity at all, when encountering a stone can jump up two inches high. It was really upside down that the intestines of the master and apprentice were about to break, and the buttocks were rubbing left and right, and the skin was about to fall off.
"I ...... Disciples...... Son...... This...... Carriage...... No...... So fast...... Your Master...... I...... The ...... of life To be ...... "This red pine nut is really unbearable to be turned upside ......down, even if he has cultivated to the heavenly immortal, but the heavenly immortal can't be so bumpy, and the words are not continuous."
"Huh......" This Zimo pulled the halter hard, and Fang stopped the horse's footsteps and stopped advancing. Turned over and jumped out of the carriage, rubbing his ass with one hand and his stomach with the other, "Oh my mom, this carriage is really not for people, why is it so bumpy!" ”
The red pine nut also jumped out of the carriage, stood on the grass, did not speak, rubbed his stomach with both hands, his face was ugly, after a while, "poof......" a breath sound, the sound was turbid and strong, with a long history, resounding in the sky, so shocked that Zimo was stunned, but carefully distinguish that it was the sound of fart.
"Oops, finally comfortable! The five internal organs of the temple were all moved, and the turbid qi was chaotic and full of bloating. The turbid breath in the stomach was discharged, and the face of the red pine nut returned to normal, the kind of comfort seemed to have not been seen for a long time, the eyes were slightly closed to reveal the color of enjoyment, and he was about to speak again, but his face changed, his body bowed slightly, the thumb and index finger of his right hand moved, and he quickly clicked a few acupuncture points on the abdomen, and then gently rubbed his abdomen, and spit out a long breath in his mouth, "I haven't felt injured for hundreds of years, I can't imagine that this time I was almost injured in a carriage, Zimo, you really have the ability!" This tone is ridicule, but it is better to cry and laugh.
"Master, what's wrong with you, your face was so ugly just now, haven't you reached the peak realm of heavenly immortals, how can you sit like this in a car?"
"Smack!" A brain melon popped into Zimo's head, "You still say!" It's not all your fault, it's really not easy to be your master, and I almost lost my life! I said, have you ever driven a carriage, have you been in such a hurry? ”
"Hehe, I haven't driven it, I've driven an ox cart at home before, it's all about the same. But the horse was not frightened, and as soon as the whip sounded, he was so frightened that he ran. Zimo scratched his head embarrassedly, and then asked Chi Songzi to the bottom of the question, "Master, you haven't said what's wrong with you?" ”
"What's wrong? My five organs were displaced, the turbidity was mixed, and my intestines almost didn't burst, and I finally released them, but they were released too quickly, and a vacuum was formed in my stomach, and I almost drove other organs to displace. If you are injured this time, you must not be laughed out of your big teeth if it is passed out! ”
"Huh!" Zimo didn't expect to take a carriage and almost hurt the master, "It's all bad for apprentices, it's too fast!" ”
"I can't blame you, who knew that General Meng sent a carriage, and such a thing would happen." Chi Songzi was relieved, and then laughed again, "It's very interesting to think about, hahahaha." ”
Seeing that the master didn't really blame him, and he wasn't injured, Zimo was also relieved.
"Master, that ...... you just now" Zimo was embarrassed to say directly, "turbidity ......"
"What turbidity, it's fart." Chi Songzi glared at Zimo, "I don't distinguish between turbidity, as long as it's discharged from below, it's a fart, you know?" It's common sense! ”
"Ah yes! It's a fart, your fart, the strength is so long, I thought it was a sound from outside the sky, and sure enough, the fairy fart is extraordinary! ”
"Stinky boy, you dare to laugh at Master! I'll reward you with a brain meltdown! ”
Zimo wanted to hide, but he couldn't dodge, and he was hit again.
Sitting on the grass, the two took a break. Looking at the horse grazing, Zimo was worried.
"Master, how do you say you will walk here later, take the carriage, if you don't catch it, this horse is not much faster than the ox, and it is not as convenient for us to walk by ourselves, if you rush it, this way, it will be the same as just now. Leave it alone, and it's not suitable, what should I do? ”
It's really like Zimo said, it's really like this. It really can't be used, and it can't be discarded, just like the chicken ribs without meat.
Chi Songzi thought for a while: "There you have it! Zimo, you go and cut more grass, bundle it into several large bundles, and put it in the carriage and we sit on the grass, which is soft, so it will be much better. ”
"Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy! Master, if you have a good idea, I'll go mow the grass. Na Zimo jumped up, and carried the ink knife as a scythe, picking the high-waisted, soft, and non-burr grass cut. After a while, he cut four large bundles, carried them to the carriage and pressed them, just right, and was afraid that it would not be reliable, so he cut some soft grass, rubbed a long straw rope, tied it firmly before and after, and tied it firmly around the carriage. The wheels and wheels of the carriage were carefully inspected, and there were no signs of disjointed damage. Clapped his hands, "Master, it's done, you can sit with confidence." ”
Seeing that Zimo was in an orderly manner, Chi Songzi stepped on the wheels and got into the carriage, and the carriage with grass was obviously much higher than before, and it was very comfortable to sit on it, but it was a little bad, and the placket had to be laid out and pressed under the buttocks, otherwise the grass would poke the leg meat along the hem. After all, there were no pants and underwear in that era, and there was a vacuum in the lower clothes, which is why people at that time sat on their knees, not cross-legged.
Seeing that the master was seated, Zimo opened the curtain of the carriage and fixed it to one side, and a butt also sat on the grass.
"Master, sit down?" Zimo looked at his master and asked with a smile, "Is this comfortable?" ”
"Well, it's okay, it's good, you can go." Akamatsu nodded.
"Snap" a whip sounded, "Drive!" , Zimo raised his whip to drive the horse to continue westward, and the horse got the order to raise his hooves and pull the carriage to trot all the way.
The road was still uneven, but after padding four bundles of grass, although there were bumps, but not the kind of bumps that hit hard, it was much better, the body swayed on the car, leaned forward and backward, and the master and apprentice held the bulge of the carriage tightly with their hands, and let the carriage run.
This vertical capital city is about 100 miles away from Puyang City, the capital of Wei, looking for the car marks left by the predecessors, all the way to the west. When the horse was tired, he stopped and let him eat grass and drink. When people are tired, they come down for a walk, eat a few mouthfuls of dry food and drink a few mouthfuls of raw water. After all, I have been delayed for a few days in Chengyang City and Vertical Capital City, and if I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I will miss the matter of guarding the capital.
Near evening, the carriage finally arrived outside Puyang City, and the tall city towers and stretching city walls could be seen in the distance, and Zimo urged the horse to dismount again, and the horse seemed to know that it was dark and needed to speed up the pace.
On the official road in front of the city gate, there were many pedestrians and carriages in a hurry, waiting to enter the city. Zimo drove the carriage to line up behind him, came to the door, and handed over the "sealed pass" for customs clearance, the soldier guarding the city took it and looked at it, looked at the two of them carefully in the car, turned his head and muttered a few words to the other soldier, and the soldier turned around and left.
It didn't take long for a man who looked like a general, carrying a sword, followed the soldier. As soon as the soldiers guarding the city saw the commander arrive, they hurriedly went over to report, "General Si Koutang, these two people are from Tengcheng of Qi State, their clothes and appearance are dirty, but they are driving a carriage, they look a little suspicious. ”
"Hmm!" Na Si Kou Tang looked through the "sealed biography", "Let them get out of the car, go up and carefully check the situation in the car!" ”
Under the shouting of the two soldiers, Zimo and Chi Songzi got out of the carriage, and the soldier brought the master and apprentice to the general. Si Kou Tang looked the two of them up and down, and shouted loudly, "Tell me what happened to the two of you in this Puyang City?" ”
"Returning to the general, my master and apprentice are here to watch the river. We have studied the weather conditions this year, and judged that there will be heavy rain here this year, and if this is the case, it will definitely affect the flooding of the river. "Akamatsu made up a reason temporarily. We can't tell the truth and tell people that we came to see the excitement in Weiguo's own nest, so we must not be directly sent to prison.
"This is the Wei Kingdom, you are indeed from the Qi Kingdom, is it necessary for you to be so enthusiastic?" The general asked coldly.
"The people of the world care about the affairs of the world, and besides, the two countries of Wei and Qi are neighbors, and the country of Qi also has cities near the river." Akamatsu copes calmly.
"Then why don't you go to your own city?"
"The road is remote and inconvenient, so I will come here first, and other cities will also go."
"General Si Koutang, a long knife and a wooden long knife were found in the car, and the others were grass." The soldier who checked the car came up and reported.
"Huh? Tell me about it! Since it is to inspect the river, why do you wear a long knife to go out? ”
"The road is wild, wild beasts are infested, bring long knives for self-defense."
"What about the wooden knife?"
"The apprentices use it in their daily drills, and the long knife is only for self-defense, and it is not suitable for frequent drills."
Seeing that there were no flaws, Si Koutang asked again: "Then how do you explain the ragged dress like a beggar?" ”
Without being reminded, the master and apprentice hadn't paid attention, and when they saw Si Koutang say this, they hurriedly looked at each other, but saw that the other party's hair was scattered, the bun was crooked, and there were scattered grass and broken leaves hanging on the scattered hair, not to mention the sackcloth robe, which was crumpled, and the branches and stems of the grass blades were sticky or stuck in the clothes, and what was even more ridiculous was that the back hem of the buttocks was dyed grass green by the grass.
Looking at each other's appearance, he must not be much better, and he wants to laugh but is not funny.
Chi Songzi was speechless for a while, so he had to explain: "My master and apprentice are in a hurry, lest I miss the time to enter the city, so the car is in a hurry, in order to avoid bumps, I use the green grass as a paving, and I didn't pay attention to it for a while, and it became like this, which made the general laugh." ”
That Si Kou Tang was also speechless, and it was really rare to rush to such a look.
"I see, I'll ask you again, do you have any contact with the guard?"
