Chapter 477: Chariot Wheel
It is said that the monkey and Zhuqing followed the old man out of the teashed hut and walked towards the village.
The old man said: "Our Luo family is an ancestral good carpenter's craft, and this time we took over a big business to make a dowry for the daughter of the eighth master of Qingjiang Zhou. Zhou Baye's daughter married Taro Aso, the commander of Japan's city defense. ”
The old man said as he walked: "The dowry is done, the paint is dry, Zhou Baye and Aso have come to see it, and they are both satisfied." Today two ox carts were arranged, pulling the dowry, and sending them to Qingjiang Mansion. Hide your things in the ox-cart and go into the city with the ox-cart. ”
The monkey said, "Thank you, Grandpa Luo, for arranging it so thoughtfully." However, there was no greeting beforehand. Is it okay to arrange it on an ad hoc basis? ”
The old man said, "What's wrong with that? Don't look at me selling tea on the roadside, no one dares to disobey my words in Luojiapu. ”
Zhu Qing said: "Grandpa Luo is a good person and highly respected." ”
The old man smiled and said: "In these years, high morality is worthless, and people still don't buy it." But my two sons can't help but buy it. ”
Zhuqing said: "Your son has the ability? ”
The old man said: "I have two sons, the eldest son Luo Dajiang, I said Dajiang, you follow the fourth child." Dajiang is now the captain of the Huaibei Anti-Japanese Brigade. Second son Luo Dahe, I said Dahe, you follow the Japanese to mix. Dahe is now the captain of the patrol team of the Qingjiang Police Station. I have these two sons. Who would dare not listen to me? ”
The monkey said, "Grandpa Luo, you have a smooth schedule for this day." ”
The old man said, "My sons are all filial and listen to me." I said to Taiga that when we work with the Japanese, we just have to deal with it, don't be sincere, don't do bad things. Japs can't grow. ”
The monkey said, "Grandpa Luo, what you said is right, the Japanese devil will definitely not grow." Do you have anything to say to your son? We can convey that for you. ”
The old man said, "You saw the big river and said to him, 'The fucking turtle is broken and leaking, and tell him to buy a new one.'" ”
The monkey said, "We will bring it to you." ”
The turtle is a hot water bottle, which is filled with hot water and put in the bed for heating. The old man said, "I'll tell you the way to the police station." ”
Walking and chatting, they came to the door of a family in the west of the village, where a few lanterns were lit outside, and several people were moving furniture to the ox cart. It looks like loading is underway.
The old man said to the monkey and Zhuqing, "Wait here. ”
The old man walked over and talked to the man who was loading the car. After a while, a middle-aged man came over and said, "Little Big Brother and Little Big Sister are going to the city?" ”
Monkey and Zhuqing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's troublesome big brother." ”
The middle-aged man said, "It's fine." Luo Sanpa's business is our business, I heard that you cured Luo Sanpa's illness? What a miracle doctor. Give me your stuff. ”
He took the monkey and Zhuqing's rucksacks, and bent down under the cart, where there was a very hidden wooden box that fit into the two knapsacks.
The middle-aged man came out and said to the monkey, "Go and close the wooden box yourself." ”
The monkey got under the car. He found that the wooden box was connected to the bullock cart frame, and if he closed the wooden box, he would not have noticed that there was a wooden box where he could hide things.
The monkey practiced opening and closing the wooden box several times under the car. If something happens, you can get under the car in two or three seconds, open the wooden box, and retrieve the bag. It takes no more than five seconds to go into battle.
These people, including the old man Luo Mancang, speak and act in a very measured manner, and no one asks you what you are doing in Qingjiang? What's in your bag? Where are you from, and what do you do?
No one asked. Qingjiang is a big place, and these people seem to have seen the world.
After a while, the car was loaded. The man came over and said, "Brother Hou, Sister Qin, my name is Luo Qingshan." You can call this second uncle Luo, we originally arranged for two people to escort the car, but now that you are here, we just save two labor. Come and escort us. ”
The monkey said, "Okay, Brother Luo and Second Uncle Luo, we can do this well." ”
"Okay, let's go on our way." Brother Luo and Second Uncle Luo each picked up an ox cart and squeaked on the road.
The monkey and Zhuqing said goodbye to Luo Mancang again, then followed the ox cart, left the village, and got onto the main road. Slowly soaring towards the Qingjiang River.
Although the road is wide, it is not smooth, and during the day the ice melts, and pedestrians and vehicles walk by, and the road is full of potholes, and at night it freezes, and it is hard inside, and the car walks on it and bumps.
The slower movement of the ox cart has become the biggest advantage. Move slowly and keep bumps to a minimum. If it's fast, when you arrive in Qingjiang, it's not necessarily whether there is complete furniture.
Brother Luo and Second Uncle Luo, each carrying an ox cart, walked ahead. The monkey and Zhuqing followed slowly behind.
The sky is starry and tomorrow will be a good day. A slight southwest wind blows in your face, sending a message of spring.
The villages near and far were still asleep, and the chickens in every village crowed as soon as the roosters crowed.
The fields are open and vast, and the sky is high and the earth is wide. The night is enveloped, and the heart is calm. As the ox cart walked slowly, the air fluttered with the sound of chariot after cart.
"Squeaky ......" "Squeaky ......"
There were pedestrians on the road, some went into the city to sell vegetables, and some went into the city to sell grass. The shoulder-carrying cart was pulled, and each of them hurried away.
The sun was red, and the two ox carts had reached the north gate. The city gates were wide open, and several devils checked on the people entering the city one by one.
Luo Qingshan stopped the ox cart, walked to the front, and said that Zhou Baye sent someone to pick them up into the city, did anyone come?
At this time, a man in a long robe in his fifties standing at the gate of the city saw two ox carts with furniture parked in the flow of people entering the city, so he walked towards Luo Qingshan.
Luo Qingshan said: "Is it Zhou Baye's person?" ”
The man said, "My surname is Sun, and I am the housekeeper of Zhou Baye, have you brought all the things?" ”
Luo Qingshan said: "It's all here, do you want to see it now or go to the place to see it?" ”
Steward Sun said, "Of course, I went to Zhou's house to see." Catch the bullock cart and follow me into town. ”
Steward Sun walked up to the inspecting devil, with a smile on his face, bowed his waist and said, "Taijun is hard, this is Commander Aso's dowry, please let me go." As he spoke, he stuffed money into the devil's hands, two oceans per person.
There was an irrepressible smile on the devil's face. The ox cart came over, and the devil waved his hand, and the ox cart stopped. Steward Sun said: "It's all new furniture, Taijun checks it." ”
The dowry smelled of paint, and when I opened the boxes and cabinets, they were all empty, and there was no suspicion up and down.
The devil said, "How many people? ”
Steward Sun said, "How many of you? ”
Luo Qingshan said, two to catch the car, two to escort the car, four people.
The devil looked at these four people, they were all croppers in the soil, and hesitated whether there was a need to search them. After all, I received two oceans.
Luo Qingshan saw the devil looking over, and hurriedly patted his body. The monkeys also patted their bodies.
The devil nodded and waved his hand: "Open the way!" ”
Luo Qingshan shouted, and the ox cart moved around, "squeaking and squeaking" through the wide city gate and entering the city.
