Li Shizhi was woken up by the chirping of birds outside the window, a quilt on his head, but did not block the magic sound of the sparrows outside the house, struggled on the bed for a long time, found that he had no sleepiness and then got up, walked to the table barefoot and sat on the chair and gulped the water in the kettle, the strength of last night's wine has not yet woken up, Li Shizhi now feels a splitting headache, Zhu Yeqing in Shu is good at everything, and he has great stamina, and he sat on the chair and rested for a while. Li Shiyi got up and walked to the window to open it.
The spring breeze is blowing, it should have rained last night, there are still rain marks on the street, the distant mountain peaks are still entangled by the fog, like an ink painting, Li Shiyi quietly looked into the distance, there are many mountains and rivers in Shuzhong, the fog between the mountains and mountains is like a light veil to cover the mountains and rivers, the fog looms in the farmers driving the cattle to cultivate the land, and the vendors on the nearby street have just appeared on the street with a flat pole, which also indicates a new beginning of the day.
At this time, there was a knock at the door, and then he said outside the door: "My lord, it is already three o'clock, and the dry food for the horses has been prepared!! ”。
Li Shiyi listened to the report of the little second child outside the door, and immediately replied: "I know, go downstairs after freshening up, prepare breakfast for me, don't delay the hour!" ”。
"Okay adult, villain is ready!!" With that, he turned around and went downstairs.
Li Shizhi put on his clothes, after a simple wash, he picked up his bags and walked to the hall downstairs, along the way, it was only the early passengers who went out with a sigh, everyone walked downstairs in unison, Li Shiyi followed the flow of people, and stopped when he walked to the counter.
The shopkeeper standing behind the counter glanced up at Li Shiyi, and hurriedly said, "This guest officer, are you going to settle the bill?" ”。
Li Shiyi nodded and said, "Jiasan checkout, there will be this breakfast in a while!" ”。
"Okay guest officer, wait a minute, it'll be right away!!" The shopkeeper said.
Li Shiyi quietly waited for the shopkeeper to settle the accounts, and after a while, he heard the shopkeeper say: "The guest officer has calculated, and the total amount of forage and dry food is one hundred and fifty Wen."
Li Shiyi took out the consistent money in the package, counted out one hundred and fifty Wen and handed it to the shopkeeper, who took the money and counted it and said; "Just the guest officer, I wish the guest officer a smooth journey!!".
Li Shizhi arched his hand to the shopkeeper, turned around and came to the table that had been prepared, the steamed steamed buns just steamed in the morning were still steaming, a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickled pickles, Li Shizhi was index finger moved, and immediately sat on the bench and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, the gruel was accompanied by the steamed buns, and from time to time with a pickle on the taste, and it was cleaned up after a while.
Li Shizhi walked to the door of the inn, and the little second child in the lobby also followed, helping Li Shizhi tie the backpack to the horse, and then told Li Shizhi that those were dry food and water, and those were bean cakes. ”。
Li Shiyi smiled and arched his hand, then took out a handful of copper coins in his arms and threw them to Xiao Er'er, who hurriedly picked them up with his clothes.
Li Shiyi urged the horses forward, and Xiao Er'er's voice came from behind him: "The villain thanks the grace of the adult, I wish the adult a safe journey!" ”。
Li Shizhi waved goodbye to the back, and then clamped the horse's belly, Bai Er immediately accelerated forward, towards the assembly place, after riding for a while, Li Shizhi saw the street figures, a large number of guys, passengers were busy, Li Shizhi turned over and dismounted, leading Bai Er to the crowd.
An and loudly commanded the guys to re-bundle the goods, according to the rules of the goods in the last night has been tied, set off on time, but this morning I don't know what's wrong, rushing to which way is too old, the pack horse was suddenly frightened and the axle was broken, had to be unloaded again to change the horse vehicle, early in the morning will be so busy, as the dart head An He has been darts for more than 20 years, I don't know how many changes have been experienced, naturally will not be flustered for this little thing, It's just that I faintly feel bad luck in my heart.
Under the command of Anhe, the guys neatly put the goods on the new carriage, looking at the guys' quick methods, Anhe's brows gradually relaxed, and seeing that everyone's work in their hands was over, he immediately said loudly: "Sons, hurry up and eat, we will start immediately after eating!" ”。
Hearing the words of Dart Head Anhe, the guys immediately replied, "Got it, An Dart Head!" After saying that, they scattered in a hurry and ran to the backyard to have breakfast.
An He did not follow everyone to eat, but walked to each carriage to check one by one, whether there was any missing skin, from time to time the stirrup rope to see if it was tied firmly, and after he finished the inspection, he turned around and saw Li Shiyi waiting on the side, An He quickly looked at the young man in front of him, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate face, with a white jade crown on his head, wearing a crimson samurai uniform, riding on a black horse, looking like a rich child, The crown on the head and the jade pendant on the waist are not objects bought by ordinary people, the big guy Ma San said before that there was a son-in-law, who bought an old horse in the store and said that he was going to Yangzhou, it seems that he is it.
An He greeted the young man who came over and said, "This son, do you want to go to Hanzhong together?" ”。
An He was not in front of anyone else, it was Li Shiyi, seeing a big man on the other side coming to ask, seeing that he might be in charge of the person who was dressed up, he immediately replied: "This eldest brother is going to Hanzhong, and he agreed with your shop guy Ma Sange yesterday to gather here today and set off together!" ”。
An He arched his hand and said: "In Xia Anhe, this car and horses are dart-headed, Childe still needs to wait a while, this morning the guys were negligent and delayed some time, and now the guys are still eating, and it is estimated that there is another cup of tea, and it should be finished, when the time comes, we will set off immediately, and please wait here for a while, and An is here to make amends to Childe!" "When he had finished speaking, he should bow down and bow down.
Li Shiyi hurriedly supported An He, and said in his mouth: "An dart head is polite, in the next Li Shiyi, the incident happened suddenly, not that the dart head can be left and right, in the next dart head has not eaten breakfast, you go don't want to be hungry, I'll take a look at the scenery here, it's not in the way!" ”。
An He saw that Li Shizhi was so reasonable, so he put his mind at ease, An He saw not many dignitaries and nobles on the way to the dart, which one did not put his nostrils to the sky, a little undesirable, beating and scolding the servant guys, it is rare for a noble son like Li Shizhi to be seen.
An He thanked Li Shizhi for arching his hand, and then hurried back to the backyard to solve breakfast, so as not to delay the trip.
After a while, that is, half a cup of tea, An He led the men to reappear in front of everyone, An He hugged his fists and bowed around: "Everyone, it's open!" Then he took out the whip from his waist, threw it into the sky, and shouted, "Hewu."
All the guys should also be in harmony: "Together! With that, he drove the carriage forward.
The accompanying passengers also boarded the carriage, and Li Shiyi got on his horse and followed the traffic to Hanzhong.
