151. Strange Du Ling
In just one or two days, Nangong Jin was already familiar with the people up and down the entire caravan, including Li Mo, of course. Especially one day when he missed the accommodation, Nangong Jin showed his barbecue skills, and now the whole team sees him as 'Brother Wang' and 'Brother Wang'.
However, Du Ling was not in such a good mood as him, and he was worried about the car all day long. Finally, Nangong Jin couldn't help it, and asked while driving the car: "Hey, I'm not dead, do you need to cry and mourn every day?" β
Du Ling didn't say a word, just stared at the gray cloth-covered car in front of him in a daze.
"Hey, Du Ling." Seeing that Du Ling ignored him, Nangong Jin became a little worried, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Du Ling still ignored it, leaning on the carriage, and didn't seem to even blink his eyes. Nangong Jin reached out and touched his forehead, and Du Ling actually jumped up in fright. Nangong Jin asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" You can't get sick, right? Don't sit outside, go in and lie down for a while. β
"No, no, not sick. I, that, I don't know ....... By the way, what should I call you? Du Ling hesitated for a long time and asked blankly.
Nangong Jin looked at him strangely, "I told everyone that my name is Wang Qin, and you are my cousin." I know you haven't slept well in the past few days, and it's still early until the next o'clock, so go in and sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's time. β
"No, no, no....... I'll just sit here, you go to sleep, I'll catch the car. Du Ling said, wanting to take the reins from his hand.
"Du Ling, Du Ling." Nangong Jin grabbed him with one hand and asked him to sit still, "You have been in a state of mind for the past few days, what happened?" β
"It's fine. I went to sleep. Du Ling said something inexplicably, and after speaking, he got into the carriage, and did not pull down the door curtain, still leaning on it, staring at the car in front of him in a daze.
His behavior really made Nangong Jin afraid, and whispered: "After the point, I will talk to Lao Caitou, if the itinerary is not urgent, we will stay for one more day, and you can rest well." β
"No, no, no, no......!" Du Ling jumped up again and emphasized: "I, I just want to get there quickly, and I will be relieved when I arrive." Hurry up! β
"To the Tumo River? But this caravan did not reach the Tumo River. We're going to be separated from them halfway, and it's going to be harder, so we'll rest as much as we can now. Nangong Jin explained carefully.
"Isn't it?" Du Ling looked surprised, as if he had just reacted. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Then, then, Li Mo will come with us?" β
Nangong Jin smiled slyly, "He probably can't keep up." β
"Then, then he still followed the caravan?" Du Ling asked anxiously.
"A must. Do you want him to follow us? β
Du Ling shook his head desperately and asked, "Then, when will we be separated from them?" β
"It's time to get out of the customs. This season, if there is no accident, you will meet a tribe on the road, and I know their leader well. Nangong Jin said with a smile.
Du Ling seemed to be in a better mood, but after a while, he frowned again, his eyes staring ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
**********
On the day of departure, Liu Yi went to the academy and cast a trick on the mountain chief, asking him to tell the whole academy that he was not allowed to go home after half a month of study, and he would take an exam half a month later to test which students could take the next exam this year. He was also asked to send a notice to each student's home informing them of the incident. For the sake of insurance, a simple trick was used to the people who followed, making him think that the two children in the school who looked a little like each other were Cheng Jun and Cheng Rui. After the deed, he hurriedly followed the convoy.
In the next few days, she also had to admire her two children. In particular, Cheng Rui is not noisy or noisy, and he sleeps in the carriage when he is tired; Bore, the two played chess and read books. Chengjun dug two small holes in the canopy to see the scenery outside. As for food, they brought some by themselves, and Du Ling came to the car several times every day to give them food and see if they were good. However, Nangong Jin seemed to have discovered something, stared at him very closely, and once almost lifted the cover of the car, which made Du Ling very crazy. Fortunately, she found out in time, and took her brothers to make a haha, saying that she was ordering the goods and pulled them away.
And, of course, to solve the problem of the children's lazar. She deliberately gave Du Ling a few clay pots, telling him that this thing can solve the problem, as long as he remembers to pour it, and also thoughtfully equipped the lid, Du Ling really gave it to the two children quietly.
Now, what she can't do is not the two children, but Du Ling. If this state continues like this, it will definitely be discovered. Listening to Lao Caitou, it will take two days to get out of the customs.
Tonight is another camping out. The weather is getting colder and colder, Nangong Jin helps everyone set up tents and fire together, since he has shown his cooking skills, he has become the chef of the caravan, as long as he sleeps in the open, he will make everyone's dinner.
Even if Liu Yi doesn't like him anymore, he has to admit that the dishes he makes are delicious, even if the ingredients are the same, he can still make different dishes in different ways.
On this day, it was sleeping in the open again, and Liu Yi brought a bowl of dried pork gnocchi soup to Du Ling in the car, "Hey, your eldest brother is bragging over there, why don't you go over?" Liu Yi was really speechless, just these few days, Du Ling's eyes were dark, listless, and he lost a lot of weight.
Du Ling took it blankly and didn't eat, still staring at the car.
"Eat it hot and warm up. Your eldest brother made it, it tastes good, and it's still there after eating. β
Du Ling nodded, ate two bites and was in a daze. Liu Yi took out a wine bag and handed it to Du Ling, "The best Jian Nanchun." Some? β
Du Ling stared at the wine bag for a moment and shook his head.
"Don't drink?" Liu Yi looked at Du Ling, "This thing is also known as 'Solving a Thousand Sorrows'." No matter what the problem, it's gone after drinking, don't you try it? β
Du Ling stared at it again and asked blankly, "Really?" β
"Of course it's true."
Du Ling took the wine bag and was about to drink it, when he suddenly thought of something, looked at the car, and looked at Nangong Jin in the distance, he still shook his head and returned the wine bag.
Liu Yiqi was surprised, "Don't drink?" It really solves all the problems. Are you afraid of your eldest brother scolding? β
"It's wine, and when you drink it, you get drunk. But I can't get drunk. Du Ling grimaced.
"Relax, you're going to get out of the customs, no problem. Besides, there are so many people here, what can happen? Now in this world, even children are smart, what are you worried about? It's a big deal to go back to Pingyang. Seeing that Du Ling was still in a daze, he reminded him: "Alas, if you want to do this again, then you will not return to Pingyang, but to see the king of Hades." I heard your eldest brother asking Lao Caitou if he could stay for an extra day at the next point, saying that you couldn't sleep well on the road and wanted to let you rest. β
"What? HeβHe's going to stop! Du Ling jumped up anxiously.
Liu Yi grabbed him, "Come, take a sip." Drink and sleep, and when he sees that you are okay, he will not stop. β
Du Ling didn't answer and shook his head.
Liu Yi was furious, "You didn't hear what I just said?" It's a big deal to go back to Pingyang, what can happen! β
Du Ling was taken aback by her, looked at her in a daze, probably felt that she was right, turned his heart sideways, grabbed the wine bag and drank it.
Liu Yi smiled. Of course, this is not Jian Nanchun, it's just a little * in ordinary spirits, and it's no problem to sleep for two days. Moreover, this medicine can't even be seen by the master, and Nangong Jin will not be more refined than the master.
When Nangong Jin came back, he also brought Du Ling a piece of baked fragrant flatbread. I saw Du Ling drunk in the car, his face flushed, mixed with alcohol, and from time to time he said inaudible nonsense.
"Hey, Du Ling." Nangong Jin patted Du Ling's face.
Du Ling smirked twice, and he didn't know what he said.
Nangong Jin sighed and said to herself, "That's fine." You're not going to throw up, are you? β
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Ling opened his mouth and vomited, Nangong Jin hurriedly helped him up, leaned on the outside of the car, and when he vomited enough, he brought water and a hand towel, scrubbed him clean, helped change his clothes, covered the quilt, and lowered the car curtain. Then he drove the horse to another place, and he wiped the horse and the cart.
It didn't take long for the whole caravan to know that Du Ling was drunk after a few sips of wine. Li Mo also came over to take a look, thinking that he couldn't live in the car, and asked Nangong Jin to go to the front car with him. Nangong Jin was not worried about Du Ling and declined. At night, Kimono sat on the wheel and leaned against the carriage.
On the first day, Du Ling didn't wake up, Nangong Jin wondered if the wine was too strong, he was too drunk, and couldn't help but ask the guy who gave the wine for a wine bag to drink, but it was only a little stronger than the average wine, and it could only be said that Du Ling's alcohol was too bad.
Liu Yi stuffed food in the car for Du Ling, although she had done this several times, she was afraid that the child would be cold and even stuffed a thick wool blanket.
The next day, we had arrived at the pass, and because the weather was getting colder, there were very few caravans queuing up to get out of the pass. From a distance, I saw that there were two teams of Ming troops unloading and inspecting.
Liu Yi didn't expect to unload and open all the goods.
Wei Yuanwei already had a garrison, even if the light turned into darkness, he did not withdraw from the hall. I don't know if the family found that the children were missing, and it was impossible to think that they had followed the caravan anyway, and it was a pity to be found here. Du Ling was still drunk, and he could have let the children go, but now he ......, alas. Liu Yi regretted that the medicine was heavy.
She looked behind her, Nangong Jin's car didn't follow, and Li Mo had already gotten out of the car and went to Nangong Jin's car. Lao Cai Tou lined up a few cars, ready to clear customs and inspection, and planned to ask Nangong Jin if he was going to go together.
There were not many caravans, and in addition to one handlebar for each car, there were also five or six men who were escorting goods.
Liu Yi thought about it, walked to the truck, pretended to lift the cloth cover, and said loudly to himself: "Alas, the front is out of the customs, and the Ming army wants to open the boxes and check them one by one." Lao Caitou wants us to unload the goods, it's really hard. As he spoke, he loosened all the cloth covers, leaving a large gap for the children. He also said: "This thing is really troublesome, the car at the back didn't keep up, and the guy surnamed Du didn't know what was wrong, and he didn't know if he couldn't get out." There are so many goods, how can I move them alone. Alas, forget it, after half an hour, call a few more guys. After saying that, he patted the cloth lid and left.
