Chapter 24: First Acquaintance

The sky was overcast and the cold wind howled.

The farther north we went, the colder it became.

The overcast sky was cloudy, and it looked like another harbinger of a storm.

On the empty official road, a carriage was speeding forward, and the driver was a black-faced man, wearing a black armor on his upper body, holding a horsewhip in his hand, and his mouth kept shouting, urging the horses pulling the carriage to speed up, and his face showed a trace of exhaustion.

"Young master, it looks like it's going to rain on this ghost weather, let's find a place to stay!"

The black-faced man riding the horse looked up at the dark sky, then quickly turned his head, glanced at the curtain hanging at the door of the carriage, and said softly.

"Lao Pei, calculate the time, it's almost Yingchuan, right?"

The carriage curtain was opened, and a young man with a handsome face revealed half of his body, this young man was Wang Can who went to Luoyang to seek officials, at this time Wang Can was wearing a cyan robe, with a wooden hairpin in his hair bun, his eyebrows were like swords, his clear and translucent eyes were shining, his nose was straight and powerful, his lips were thin, and his face was square and handsome, giving people a fresh and elegant, but without losing the feeling of masculine masculinity, Wang Can glanced at the surrounding environment and said: "This place is uninhabited, It's a bit difficult to find a place to stay. ”

The old Pei in Wang Can's mouth is naturally Pei Yuanshao.

He went to Luoyang with Wang Can and was responsible for Wang Can's safety.

Wang Can went to Luoyang to seek officials, and only Pei Yuanshao was brought with him, and Zhou Cang, Xiao Lu Meng and others stayed in Runan City.

Although the Yellow Turban of Runan City supported Wang Can and was in awe of Wang Can, Wang Can left Runan City to go to Luoyang, but he could not put the Runan City he had just taken in danger, so he left Zhou Cang, Liu Cheng, and Dong Fang to guard Runan in case of accidents, which was not only to deter some ill-intentioned people in Runan City, but also to prevent officers and soldiers from attacking the city.

Pei Yuanshao listened to Wang Can's words and said: "Young master, this is indeed the territory of Yingchuan, and in half a day, we will be able to arrive at Yingchuan County. We can stay there for the night, and then we can set off early tomorrow morning. ”

Wang Can nodded, snorted, and said, "Lao Pei, why are you so familiar with Yingchuan?" ”

Pei Yuanshao said: "When the great sages and good teachers raised their troops, Yingchuan was a major battlefield, and Zhou Heizi and I both stayed in Yingchuan for a while, so we are quite familiar with Yingchuan. ”

Wang Can hummed, stopped talking, shrank and returned to the carriage.

The wheels were turning, the carriage was galloping fast, the cold wind was blowing on his face like a knife, Pei Yuanshao was blown by the wind and squinted slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, this ghost weather is really annoying.

"Huh~Huh~~~" The black oppressive sky blew a strong wind and blew up bursts of dust.

"Sha~Sha~~Sha~~~"

A gust of wind blew, kicking up countless clouds of sand and dust. Suddenly, Pei Yuanshao, who was galloping on a horse, felt a chill on his face.

"It's raining!" Pei Yuanshao sighed in his heart, it rained heavily before he arrived at the place where he landed, it was really unfavorable to travel! Raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a mist rose from the ground, and a torrent of rain splashed on the ground, and a burst of dust came to the face, and the rain and mist were hazy. The huge mist made the vision in front of him blurred, Pei Yuanshao's clothes had already been wet by the rain, and Pei Yuanshao at this time didn't care about the wet clothes, and kept urging the horses to run quickly.

"Whew~~~ It's finally here"

Pei Yuanshao looked from afar and saw a dilapidated Taoist temple standing in the rain on the side of the road ahead.

The Taoist temple has long been dilapidated, the gable has collapsed, and it is almost in ruins, but it is still possible to hide from the rain.

Pei Yuanshao drove the carriage to the gate of the Taoist temple, Wang Can got out of the carriage, ran quickly, and ran into the Taoist temple. After Wang Can got out of the carriage, Pei Yuanshao pulled the horse, placed the horse in the grass shed next to it, and prepared grass food for the horse, and then hurriedly ran to the Taoist temple to hide from the rain.

"This place is really sparsely populated, few people come, and there are cobwebs everywhere."

Wang Can muttered, picked up a stick from the ground, and cleaned the cobwebs inside the Taoist temple. Pei Yuanshao walked in and followed Wang Can to clean up the Taoist temple, and it took the two of them more than half an hour to clean up the hall, and also found a thick straw to spread on the ground as a bed.

"Crackling~~~"

In the main hall, Pei Yuanshao took out the fire fold, picked up some dry firewood from the Taoist temple, lit the bonfire, and suddenly, the wisps of bright red flames on the fire kept scurrying.

Wang Can rubbed his cold hands, leaned close to the bonfire, felt the warmth from the bonfire, and felt a lot more comfortable, and glanced at Pei Yuanshao, who was like a chicken in soup, Wang Can said: "Old Pei, the weather is so cold, it's easy to catch a cold, you quickly take off the soaked clothes and change them again." ”

Pei Yuanshao snorted, and changed into a set of clothes again in three or two. Then the wet clothes are hung on wooden sticks and baked over the fire. After doing this, Pei Yuanshao took out the dough cake that had been prepared a long time ago from the baggage, divided some and handed it to Wang Can, and then took out a pot of wine from the baggage, hehe smiled, and ate the dough while drinking the wine.

Seeing Pei Yuanshao eating bread and drinking wine, a trace of envy rose in Wang Can's heart.

Pei Yuanshao, a pure person, although he has a simple brain, he lives a simple and carefree life, such a day is still good, but such a thought was instantly suppressed by Wang Can, he has embarked on a path he has chosen, there is no room for retreat, in addition to rushing forward with all his might, he still rushes forward desperately.

Wang Can choked on a mouthful of bread and said with a smile: "Lao Pei, you can't drink wine alone, give me a sip!" ”

Pei Yuanshao scratched his head and said, "Didn't I think you didn't drink?" ”

In fact, it has been almost two months since Wang Can crossed over, and he has indeed not touched a drop of alcohol, because Wang Can hopes that he can always keep a clear head.

Wang Can took the wine jug and said with a smile: "Although drinking is wrong, it's okay to take a sip occasionally." ”

Goo dong dong, Wang Can aimed the wine jug to his mouth, took a few gulps, and then changed the wine jug to Pei Yuanshao, and the liquor went down his stomach, and suddenly a hot current rose from his stomach, and he felt a lot warmer on his body.

"Wine, good wine!"

Just when Wang Can handed the wine jug to Pei Yuanshao, a young man who was a little thin and a little weak ran in, the young man's tall nose kept moving, and a pair of smart eyes rolled wildly, constantly looking at Wang Can and Pei Yuanshao. The young man stared at the wine jug in Pei Yuanshao's hand, and walked towards Pei Yuanshao unconsciously, with a deep joy in his eyes, as if he had seen a beautiful woman undressing.

The young man smiled, walked over to the campfire and sat down.

He stretched out his hand to brush away the wet hair on his forehead, his eyes fell on Pei Yuanshao, and said with a smile: "It's so cold, this damn weather, it's actually raining heavily, eh, it's all a soup chicken, this big brother, I'm wet from the rain all over my body, I'm panicked with cold, can you let me take a sip of wine and warm up." The young man leaned close to the fire and rubbed his hands, looking forward to Pei Yuanshao.

Pei Yuanshao chuckled in his heart, very reluctant.

He is also a lover of alcohol, but he doesn't want to give up his good things to young people.

Wang Can looked at the young man's eyes in front of him, feeling very abrupt. This young man gave him a very casual feeling, as if he was familiar, but the young man's eyes were clear and transparent, his eyes were neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes revealed a sense of confidence, and he spoke very casually, but the tone of his words made people feel very comfortable.

This young man is not bad!

Wang Can commented in his heart, nodded, looked at Pei Yuanshao and said: "Old Pei, meeting is fate, besides, this brother is weak, if he catches a cold, it will not be good, you take a pot of wine again, and then give him some bread, drinking on an empty stomach hurts the body, drinking on this bread is not so harmful to the body." After a pause, Wang Can said again: "Take a set of clean clothes from my baggage and change them on." ”

"Young Master, you?"

Pei Yuanshao was stunned, with a puzzled look in his eyes, isn't he just a sick man, he can be so good to him. But catching a glimpse of Wang Can's unkind eyes, Pei Yuanshao shrank his head, reluctantly took a pot of wine and bread from the burden and handed it to the young man, and then took out a set of clothes from Wang Can's baggage, handed it to the young man, and hummed: "Good luck for you, meet my young master." ”

Wang Can looked at Pei Yuanshao's expression and shook his head.

No matter what the identity of the young man in front of him is, but when he is out of the house, who can help him when he is not embarrassed.
