Volume 1: Lower Yangzhou Chapter 12: Departure
On the stretch of the official road, Li Shizhi looked at the scenery in the mountains boringly, the winding river under the mountain, the evergreen stretching on the mountain, the Shu road is difficult to walk, this is a well-known fact in the world, the little does not enter the Sichuan, the old do not go out of the pass, a country proverb exhausted the hardships of the Shu road, fortunately, the team moved forward in an orderly manner under the leadership of An He.
Li Shiyi looked at the scenery in the mountains for a while, felt bored, tied the reins to the carriage in front of him, picked a book of Three Kingdoms from the package and read it, and opened it at will It is really good to turn it to Shu Han, which is also suitable for the situation, Li Shiyi sat on the horse and studied it carefully.
"Nerd, what are you looking at?"
Li Shiyi, who was engrossed in the sea of books, was interrupted by the sudden words in front of him, looked up in astonishment, and found that the reins tied to the carriage in front were held in the hands of a woman wearing a white light gauze taper hat in the carriage.
Li Shiyi smiled, raised the book in his hand and said, "I am reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, intoxicated, I don't know what the girl has to say?" ”
The woman in the conical hat said with a smile: "I don't dare to be a girl in the textbook, I am afraid that some nerd will fall off the horse while reading a book, and she will lose her life!" He giggled.
The women in Shuzhong have always been bold, with clear love and hate, not as pungent as the women in Guanzhong, nor as gentle as the women in Jiangnan.
Li Shiyi grew up in Yizhou since he was a child, and he had already learned the power of women in Shuzhong, so he replied not to be outdone: "Thank you Miss for mentioning it, but I didn't expect Miss to care so much about it, it really flattered me!" ”。
"Phew, who cares about you, people kindly reminded me, I didn't expect you to be a disciple, phew, shameless!" After speaking, he threw the reins to Li Shizhi and got back into the carriage.
Li Shiyi took the reins and teased loudly: "Thank you for the girl's grace not to kill!" ”。
An He looked up at the sky, and found that it was almost noon, usually at this time had reached Sanquan County, but because of the delay in reloading in the morning, the convoy did not arrive on time, looking at the speed of the current march, it may not be able to arrive before the time, and there is no rest and trimming along the way.
There happened to be an open space in front of him, which could be used as a place for repair, and it would not block the official road, thinking of this, An He shouted loudly: "Little people, the open space ahead is trimmed!" ”。
Hearing Anhe's shout, all the guys who were driving the car responded loudly in unison: "Hewu! ”。
The speed of the convoy accelerated, and Li Shiyi clamped the horse's belly and shouted: "Drive!" Bai Er received the instruction, and also quickened his pace, and followed the convoy closely.
The convoy went to a bend, did not follow the official road, but went straight out, and after leaving the open space where the convoy stayed, An He stopped the first car, turned around and shouted at the entire convoy: "Ladies and gentlemen, start repairing, please make it convenient for the guest officers, and go on the road after a cup of tea!" ”。
Li Shiyi heard An He's words, drove the horses to leave the convoy, and moved towards the deep place of grass and trees, and only when he reached a place where the grass and trees could cover his body did he turn over and dismount, tied Bai Er to the tree, let it eat grass and leaves at will, and untied his belt to facilitate it, and then led Bai Er back to the convoy when the convenience was over.
After returning to the convoy, Li Shizhi spread out the linen cloth he brought with him, took off the salute on Bai Er's body and put it on the linen cloth, took out three or four bean cakes and water from the package and put them in front of Bai Er.
After being full of wine and food, Li Shizhi lay down with his head regardless of the image, relieving the fatigue on his body, although he got off the horse from time to time this morning and walked on foot, but he was still hurt by the saddle's buttocks, although it was much stronger than the previous two days when he walked, but after all, during the journey, it was inevitable that people would be sleepy and tired.
Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Li Shiyi felt extremely lucky, this season in Shuzhong is the rainy time, although he wears a coat, but the spring rain killing a hundred bones is not a joke, the biting chill is not something ordinary people can endure even in the room, he can only pray like God, he is on the road a little less rainy.
Just when Li Shiyi was lying extremely comfortable, a small pebble suddenly hit his face, Li Shiyi sat up suddenly, and saw a figure wearing a cone hat hiding behind the carriage not far away, looking at himself, seeing Li Shiyi looking at her, he immediately ran into the distance.
Li Shiyi touched his nose, shook his head, and didn't take this matter to heart, just as he was about to lie down again, a voice came from behind and said: "It's sincere!" Why didn't the son catch up, maybe he would have made a good marriage! ”。
Li Shiyi hurriedly got up and looked behind, and found that an old man was looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen my husband, my husband said that he was laughing, how to climb high in the next year, plus that girl is just funny with me, don't take it seriously!" ”。
Hearing Li Shiyi's answer, the old man shook his head with a smile and said: "When you are young, how can you be old and twilight, bold and careful in order to hold the beauty, Sima Xiangru was like a phoenix seeking a phoenix, and he married Zhuo Wenjun, and the son can't live up to this good opportunity!" ”。
Li Shiyi helped the old man to rest on the sackcloth, and then replied: "Sima Xiangru is talented, how can the kid He De be compared with Xiangrujun!" Moreover, the kid has already been married, and this time he went out on the orders of his parents to get married, but he didn't dare to make any extraneous branches! After speaking, he took out the water bag, took out a clean cup, poured it with water, and handed it to the old man sitting on the ground.
The old man took the water cup, took a small sip, returned the cup to Li Shiyi, and then thanked: "Thank you for the hospitality, the little old man has disturbed the son, please don't blame the son!" ”。
"The old man said there, the old man can deign to come here to chat with him, and it's too late for the kid to be happy!" Li Shiyi hurriedly said.
"Childe is polite, I don't know Childe's name?"
"In Xia Li, a person from Mianzhou, may I ask the old gentleman's surname?"
"Don't give your surname Xie, Xie Bi'an, I don't know if the son is going to Hanzhong or Guanzhong!"
"Back to Xie Lao, the kid is going to Yangzhou to study!"
"It just so happens that the old man is going back to Suzhou to worship his ancestors, just by the way, does the little brother want to walk with the old man!"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, since the old man is invited, you don't dare to disobey in the next place, just on the way, you can chat with Xie Lao to pass the time!"
At this time, An He stood on a dirt bag and shouted, "Everyone is leaving!" ”。
