Chapter 89: Hey, It's You!
On the rugged mountain road, the driving shouts are continuous, the whips are falling one after another, and the five horses are galloping against the sun.
Chen Xu stood on the horse's back tightly on the stirrup, and at the same time grabbed the saddle tightly with both hands, buried his head in the horse's back and didn't dare to raise his head, his body swayed from side to side like a tumbler.
The man is too short and his legs are too short, although he is standing, but his butt is still constantly hurt by the bumpy and undulating horseback, and again and again, before he has run out of five miles, he feels that his butt has almost become eight petals, and the bowl of noodles he ate at noon was almost squirted out of his nostrils.
Dizziness, dizziness, stomach discomfort.
As a man in two lives, Chen Xu definitely didn't expect that he would be a twenty-five-year-old man, and he would have the problem of motion sickness in later generations.
"Vomit~" After holding back for a long time, Chen Xu finally vomited.
"Xiao Xu, relax your body, don't be too stiff!" Uncle Ma followed behind and kept prompting.
Chen Xu almost cried.
I really wanted to relax, but when I relaxed, I was afraid that I would fall.
Watching TV and movies, how handsome others are riding a horse and shaking, and they can also hug a beautiful woman to have a horse shock, but why can't Lao Tzu do it, Nima has a door closed!
"Xiao Langjun, when riding a horse, you should treat the horse as your own legs, move with the wind, flow with the waves, stabilize your waist, relax your shoulders and back, and keep in line with the horse's movements, it is useless for you to resist the horse's strength like this!" The soldier leading the horse in front also turned around and said with a smile.
Well, try it!
Chen Xu felt that what the soldier said was right, and continued to stiffen his body and fight with this four-legged guy, it was estimated that he would not be able to run to Qinghe Town, and he would even vomit out the overnight meal, so he slowly learned to relax his body, adjust his breathing, and after running for two or three miles, he finally touched a trace of the threshold of horseback riding, and when a group of people rushed out of the valley to see Qinghe Town, the ground quickly became flat, he breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his body and grabbed the reins, and gradually adapted to the horse's running and bumps, and his body shook gently together. It's a little bit serious.
The five horses did not stop in Qinghe Town, but galloped directly along the street.
After nearly three hours of running, before the sun was about to set, they saw a sparkling river and large fields of crops, and then saw an ancient city with high walls, and the group slowed down their horses.
"Xiao Langjun, is it still comfortable to ride a horse?" A soldier gloated.
Laugh at you uncle! At this time, Chen Xu felt that the skin on the inner sides of his two thighs was about to wear out, and he grinned in pain, and at the same time felt that his buttocks were already numb.
And the leading pavilion chief Fan Kun was excited, nervous and excited at this time, and when he saw the gate of the county seat, his black face turned red.
Originally, after seeing the effect of the threshing machine in the morning, he naturally thought it was a good thing, and got it to the town to give it to Lidian, and if he got Lidian's affirmation, he might praise him.
However, he remembered the matter of the improvement of the copper saw in the ancient mountain of the blacksmith shop some time ago, and thought about the old and mediocre Lidian, and felt that this thing might not be praised by Lidian, and he would be sprayed with his head and face, so he didn't do anything, and after rushing to the town, he changed to a carriage, and pulled the villager and the threshing machine directly to the county seat.
Then I saw the county order in the county seat, and after assembling it, the new county order from Xianyang was different, it was a scholar who had seen the world, and he saw the thresher's rebellion at a glance, and immediately arranged two soldiers with a healthy horse to ask to bring the inventor and the village of Xiaohe Village to the county seat.
A few horses soon came to the city wall, and Chen Xu also saw for the first time what the ancient county town looked like after crossing into the Qin Dynasty.
The city wall of all rammed earth, about four or five meters high, the surface is pitted, many places have been eroded by the rain and collapsed, cracks are all over the city wall, only close to the city gate can still be seen, and the city tower on the city gate is also old, the thatch covering it has fallen a few large pieces, hanging under the eaves of the building and swaying in the wind.
Passing through the city gate with a height of two meters and a width of three meters, groups of nearby villagers and residents of the city are entering and exiting in groups, and it is almost time to close the city gate at this time, so they are all in a hurry to go home, carrying burdens, leading oxen, and the bustle of carts, and several soldiers standing at the door are holding halberds, and their eyes are wandering in the crowd.
And the situation in the city also made Chen Xu's heart half cold.
The street is much wider than Qinghe Town, about seven or eight meters wide, the ground is all dust, and the cars and horses pass by and raise a puff of choking dust, and although the houses on both sides of the street are not dilapidated, most of them are thatched houses with bamboo and wood structures, mixed old and new, but they are all very low, which is completely different from what you see in later movies.
"The county seat is really much more prosperous than the town!" Although Uncle Ma has been to the county seat several times, he couldn't help but sigh loudly when he looked at the crowd coming and going at this time.
"Ma Chong, have you ever been to the county seat, it is really prosperous, a street is the size of our entire county, with a population of 100,000!" Fan Kun was happy at this time, and he also chatted with Uncle Ma.
A few horses walked down the street for a few hundred meters, and finally stopped in front of a bluestone building, a few people threw stirrups and dismounted, the moment Chen Xu's feet landed, his feet were soft and almost knelt on the ground, not only did he feel pain all over his body, his internal organs were a little hot, and the inner thighs touched the burlap pants, and his tears almost flew out of the pain.
The high-end activity of horseback riding is really too torturous, and it is far less refreshing than riding a battery car.
"Come with me!" Liu Tong, the county magistrate, hurriedly ran out after the soldiers entered the report and entered the county hall with three people.
Above the lobby, Chen Xu's thresher is placed, and a large pile of wheat is placed next to it.
A soldier is shaking the handle vigorously, a middle-aged scribe with a bamboo crown is standing in front of the thresher with a handful of wheat to the inlet, and the outfeed is followed by a rattan basket.
"Fan Kun, the pavilion chief of Qinghe Town, has seen the county commander! Chen Xu, a villager from Xiaohe Village, who made the thresher, and Ma Chong, the village Zhengma, have both brought it. Fan Kun, who was a little arrogant just now, hurriedly bowed as soon as he entered.
"Xiaohe Village, Masama, has seen the county magistrate again!"
Uncle Ma knelt down directly excitedly, this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a big official of the county order at such a close distance, and it was simply the glory of honoring his ancestors to go back and say it in the village, and it was worth showing off for several generations.
"Oh! Hold on! The middle-aged scribe did not look back, but took off the handful of wheat in his hand, and then put the straw aside and turned around.
"Hey, it's you!"
"Is that you?"
The moment he turned around, Jiang Beiting and Chen Xu, who was slowly walking at the end with two legs and grinning teeth, were stunned at the same time, and couldn't help but exclaim at the same time.
"Chen Xu, don't kneel down yet!" Fan Kun's frightened body trembled, and he hurriedly reached out to pull Yang Xu.
"Haha, no, no!" Jiangbei Pavilion strode up and took Chen Xu's hand, laughing enthusiastically, "I have heard this villager say that this thresher was invented and made by Xiao Langjun, I can't imagine it, Xiao Langjun not only has the courage to cut snakes, but also such an incredible whimsy, which is really eye-opening to me!" ”
"The prefectural commander has won the prize!" Chen Xu had no intention of kneeling down at all.
The next generation lived for twenty-five years, and when he was a child, he was naughty and was beaten by his father, and he knelt down when he saw people, and he disdained this kind of feudal dross, unless he saw Qin Shi Huang, as an emperor through the ages, as the ancestral dragon of China, it is still worth his kneel, and in addition to Chen Jiang's family, the person who can make him kneel will definitely be pressed back by him one day.
Chen Xu, who was neither humble nor arrogant, also made Jiang Beiting even more surprised, pulled him to the front of the threshing machine, left a group of people and began to carefully inquire about various details.
