Chapter 494: Ride
"Hitchhiking?" Yun Fei was a little curious and asked, "Do you mean the kind of carriage that often walks around the main road?" ”
Xiao Er nodded and said, "Yes, why don't you do it?" Isn't there enough money? But it's cheap to ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and even ordinary people can afford it. And those carriages can be traveled for a long time, and many people can carpool together. ”
Yun Fei said: "So that's the case, I always thought it was a rich man's transportation?" ”
Xiao Er smiled and said, "Little Sir, look at the appearance of that carriage, it looks like a carriage used by rich people?" ”
Yun Fei thought about it for a while, and immediately understood in his heart, he really regretted that he had been walking alone since he lost his horse, and he really looked like a fool. At this time, he deeply felt that for the life of a person with a belly, especially walking in the world, he may not have the ability to be enough.
He smiled bitterly: "So that's the case, I thought those were rich people's carriages, or someone else's own use." I'm too embarrassed to say hello myself. Alas, really, I wouldn't have been walking that long if I had asked a little more. ”
Seeing him like this, the little second looked at him pitifully and said with a smile: "Little sir, it's the first time you've gone far away, right?" ”
Yun Fei thought for a while and said, "It's not the first time I've gone out, it's just that I haven't thought about it so much before." "That's true, every time he used to travel, it was either because something was urging or he was running for his life, as long as he could live in that situation, what kind of conditions did he care there. Especially when he thought that when he ran from Xuzhou to Yecheng, Tao Qian and Zang Ba were like eagles catching chickens along the way, always scaring him and chasing him, and always let him fall into the Zhen Mansion in Yecheng by himself, as for how he arrived at that time, it seems that he didn't think about it at all.
Xiao Er smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, this place has just come out of Jiayuguan, and it is still far from your destination." In this way, I will help you find a carriage later, you can take it, I will tell the coachman first, and when you stay outside the town and see a carriage, tell him that you are a guest of the small shop, and you have already greeted him just now, just tell them your destination, they will help you arrange the itinerary, you can sit comfortably until you want to get the place, and you don't have to suffer from the wind and sand anymore. ”
Yun Fei smiled and muttered, "Alas! It's good to know your little brother, otherwise I would have to keep going. Now that a carriage has finally been made, I've had a good rest. He paused and continued to smile and say to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, thank you!" If I hadn't met you, I guess I would have continued on this road, which is really a great blessing in misfortune! ”
Then they chatted about some common things, and Yun Fei didn't reveal anything about the itinerary, just made up a destination. Soon, Xiao Er left to help Yunfei contact the carriage, and when he finished settling the account, he rushed to the place where the carriage stopped outside the town. At this time, there were many people waiting for the carriage this year, and it was bustling for a while, and some people seemed to be in a hurry.
Yunfei found the coachman, told Xiao Er's explanation, and was arranged where to wait for the carriage together.
While waiting, Yun Fei looked at the desolation outside the town and the barren mountains in the distance, but his mood became quieter and quieter, I don't know what's going on, since leaving Chang'an, except for Jiayuguan, his state of mind has become more and more clear, as if the realm has been sublimated.
The place where the carriage is waiting is not large, but the people who are looking forward to it are concentrated, and everyone can be quiet when they are just looking forward to the carriage.
At the front of the line, there's a table, a bench, and that's it.
Sitting in front of the table was an older Confucian student, with a beard and a gray robe, a bit of a businessman and a Confucian feeling, but probably after being contaminated in the wind and dust for a long time, he actually looked a little more businessman, and now he is keeping accounts.
Yun Fei walked towards the Confucian student and said, "Hello, I want to go to the western Xinjiang and take a ride to Liangzhou." What he said was according to what Xiao Er taught him, and he was afraid that he would continue to walk if he said it wrong.
The gray-robed Confucian stopped keeping accounts, looked up at Yun Fei, and said softly, "Where do you say you're going?" ”
Yun Fei said: "I'm going to Liangzhou!" ”
"Liangzhou, so far away, we don't have a carriage to go there. You'd better move somewhere closer. The Confucian said.
Yunfei couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Why don't you go to Liangzhou?" ”
The Confucian looked at Yun Fei suspiciously, and said: "Look at your appearance from other places, don't you know, Liangzhou is at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and the scope there is controlled by the Immortal Sect, don't you go to look for death, we won't go!" If you want to go, you can only sit down in the West County, where you can get off, and then walk over by yourself. Or you can buy a horse in West County, but I would advise you not to go there. ”
As soon as they heard Yun Fei say that he was going to Liangzhou, everyone was immediately a little scared, especially some people looked at Yun Fei with strange eyes, it seemed that this Nanhua old immortal had already infiltrated a little here.
Yun Fei was also unimpressed by their gaze, thought about it and smiled: "Then listen to you, I'll just go to Xijun." ”
As can be seen from the map, Liangzhou is still a few mountains away from the erosion, and they are all snow-capped mountains. Now from the West County, it seems that it will take a long time to toss.
Now he suddenly thought of the Condor on the top of the mountain in the northern frontier, if it could come here now, how nice it would be! If you ride the Condor by yourself, you can go directly to it comfortably, and you don't even have to bother with those high mountains.
At this time, the Confucian student's words interrupted Yunfei's reverie, and he said, "Sir, you have to pay for the ride first." ”
Yun Fei had never sat in a carriage like this, since he chose to take someone else's carriage now, of course he had to listen to others, but it was just a matter of a little silver, so he reached out and took out some broken silver and handed it to the Confucian who kept accounts.
The Confucian didn't speak, nor did he look for money, but just handed a bamboo slip with the words of the itinerary engraved on it and handed it to Yunfei.
Confucius said: "Wait a minute, when the car comes, you can get in the car, they will stop halfway to let you rest and sharpen, if you want to prepare dry food with you, there is still time." By the way, if you give more money, I can arrange a better position for you, and I can also make you sit more comfortably. ”
Yun Fei showed a habitual smile and said, "Thank you!" I'm going to buy something, by the way, how long will it take for your car to go to West County? ”
