Chapter Fifty-Eight: Driving the Donkey
Please enter the text Yan Buwen returned to the hotel, it was already three o'clock in the morning, when he returned to the house, suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him, Yan Buwen subconsciously blocked it with his hand, a pain came from the arm, the arm was hit by a hard thing, it was very painful, Yan Buwen grabbed it with his backhand, grabbed the hard thing in his hand, and knew that it was a wooden stick. After catching it, he heard a fright inside, and Yan Buwen hurriedly said, "Don't make a sound, it's me." ”
"Oh, why don't you take a look and fight again?" Yan Buwen knew that it was Ruan Lingyu who heard the sound and specially hid next to the door, as long as someone came in, she would immediately take the lead. Yan Buwen had palpitations, but fortunately he didn't throw a shot directly, otherwise Yan Buwen's life would not be guaranteed.
"Who told you not to knock before you came in, I know who?" Ruan Lingyu used a piece of cloth to bandage Yan Buwen, but fortunately, Ruan Lingyu's arm strength was not good, and only caused a slight injury. But this is also bad news, indicating that Ruan Lingyu does not have the slightest combat effectiveness. Yan Buwen asked for the gun to come, pinned it on his body,
"Hurry up and change your clothes, and remember to put on makeup." Yan Buwen urged, ready to leave as soon as the morning dawned, the closest here is a Dingyuan County, surrounded by towns and villages, which is basically equivalent to four non-reliance, and must not go to Dingyuan County, but to go southeast along the road, and when you arrive at Pukou, it is estimated that it will be much better.
"Makeup?" Ruan Lingyu asked puzzled.
"Well, turn it black, you have to look like a dusty man, otherwise with your face, it will be impossible to walk without attracting attention." Yan Buwen said with a smile, this is also a complete strategy, I saw a group of bandits here just now, if I bumped into them, Ruan Lingyu would not be able to come if she was escorted over to be the lady of the village.
"I don't know if you're praising me or hurting me for this." Ruan Lingyu stuck out her tongue, but still started to put on makeup according to Yan Buwen's meaning, and then before dawn, the two had already changed their clothes and brought all their luggage. After buying a donkey cart on the owner's side of the hotel, the owner of the hotel gave Yan Buwen and Ruan Lingyu a cut, and taught Yan Buwen how to train this donkey who digs his temper, and admonished: "The front is out of the scope of our town, but it is still very stable in this place, but there are some bandits recently, but the bandits have only hit the idea of passers-by, when you meet them, they say that they are the family of Li Laohan in Daliu Town, and they went to the relatives in Quanjiao County to send something, and it is estimated that they will not embarrass you." ”
The owner of the hotel, Li Laohan, was also out of kindness, as for saying to the bandits that it was Li Laohan's family that it would work, Yan Buwen was naturally suspicious, but he was still very grateful to Li Laohan, and he brought enough dry food when he left. Yan Buwen and Ruan Lingyu went on the road, and after waving goodbye to Li Laohan, Ruan Lingyu sat upright on the donkey cart, like a big girl in the village, and Yan Buwen was wearing coarse cloth clothes and driving the donkey cart, like a rough man in the countryside. This kind of collocation met a lot on the road, Ruan Lingyu was also very curious to look around, and when she saw people who were in the same hurry as herself, she was very happy, all men drove donkey carts, women sat on them, and the carts were either loaded with grain, or some cotton and linen, etc., and some dragged donkey carts around to sell things.
Ruan Lingyu sat in front of the donkey-dragged cart, dangling her legs, and said with a smile: "This kind of car, when I was very young before, I seemed to have sat in my hometown. Also, when I was a child, I just went to Shanghai, and I saw this kind of donkey cart on the street, but now I see less of it. Cars have replaced donkey carts. ”
This was the Industrial Revolution, where machinery replaced manpower.
"Then you have to sit down, there is a big downhill in front of you, if you fall, it's none of my business." Yan Buwen drove the donkey cart humming forward from the path, the donkey's feet were not fast, and he was dragging two people, a bunch of things, it was okay to encounter a flat road, but when he encountered potholed dirt, it was not a donkey pulling people, it was a person pulling a donkey. A few times, Yan Buwen dragged the cart, and Ruan Lingyu was walking with a donkey. Wait until the next market to see if you can buy a horse or a cow, which is much faster than a donkey.
At this time, the donkey dragged the cart to a big downhill slope, stopped a little, and smiled at Ruan Lingyu who was sitting behind.
Ruan Lingyu grabbed Yan Buwen's clothes: "If I fall, you won't be fine, coachman, hurry up and get on the road." ”
Yan Buwen the coachman raised the whip, gently whipped the donkey's buttocks, the donkey got down, called out, and jumped out, and at the same time pulled the cart down the trend, the slope is quite long, the donkey is already slower than the speed of the cart when it runs halfway, and when it is almost to the bottom of the slope, the donkey can not run the cart at all, and is hit behind the butt by the cart.
Ruan Lingyu grabbed Yan Buwen's clothes and said in shock, "What are you doing?" ”
"I didn't do anything." Yan Buwen wanted to quickly restrain the donkey, but this happened, the donkey jumped to the side, and the whole cart rolled out on its side, and at the same time, the overturned cart also dragged the donkey downhill, while Yan Buwen and Ruan Lingyu fell off the cart, fell down the slope, and then rolled down the slope.
"Oops, my ass." Ruan Lingyu touched her buttocks, she was hit by something, and she was numb. But Ruan Lingyu is obviously not the worst, the most miserable is Yan Buwen, who was pressed under her body, when the car overturned, Yan Buwen specially hugged Ruan Lingyu, so that he could suffer more damage, and now he was pressed under Ruan Lingyu, Yan Buwen was in pain all over.
Yan Buwen urged: "You, hurry up, my waist." ”
After Ruan Lingyu touched her ass and got up, Yan Buwen also touched her waist and sat up. Ruan Lingyu looked at Yan Buwen, the two of them had the same disease, Ruan Lingyu couldn't help but laugh and said: "If the technique is not good, don't drive." ”
"I knew I would have gone the other way." Yan Buwen complained.
At this time, Ruan Lingyu hurriedly pushed Yan Buwen: "Go and see how the donkey is, donkey must not be fine." ”
"Donkey?" Yan Buwen passed, the donkey lay on its side on the ground, and the outside of one of the thighs was separated by a gap, Yan Buwen tried to make the donkey stand up and take a look, but the donkey fell to the ground before standing up.
"Oh no, my leg hurts." Yan Buwen touched it lightly, and the donkey began to howl.
"I'll do it." Ruan Lingyu comforted the donkey, and finally the donkey settled down, and then bandaged the donkey's wounds.
"Still a donkey." Yan Buwen sighed.
"You're pretty much the same."
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Lingyu looked at Yan Buwen with a smile, and Yan Buwen knew that something was wrong.
Half an hour later, Yan Buwen began to drag the cart, except for Ruan Lingyu and the luggage on the cart, Yan Buwen's position was occupied by the donkey.
"I'll sell you at the next market."
"Hurry up, how can you walk slower than a donkey?"
Ruan Lingyu waved a small whip behind her, but she was always reluctant to fight, and now this strange picture made her can't help but "giggle" all the way.
