Chapter 44: Falling off the Cliff

After dinner, Liu Yong and Liu Xun, Wang Yu, Zhou Rong, Yang Zhang, and Zhou Bing were assigned to a room, and Liu Yong, who was a big household, generously handed the inn guy a copper coin and asked him to take a few buckets of hot water to take a bath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oops, it's so uncomfortable." Yang Zhang soaked in the bucket and screamed uncomfortably. "I'm about to fall apart when this carriage is upside down."

In these years, no matter how smooth the road is, the carriage with almost no shock absorption means will produce a lot of bumps when it walks up. It may be fine for a while, but if you sit in the car for a whole day, or longer, few people can afford it.

"Be content, you, a few of us still have a big family to take a bath, and a few next door may not know what it will be like." Zhou Bing stretched out his hand and patted Yang Zhang on the side and said.

"By the way, Brother Yong, when did you become a big dog? I found out that day when I saw you buying meat buns for that lame yellow haired dog. Yang Zhang didn't avoid Zhou Bing's slap, rubbed the back of his head painfully, and then changed the topic and said.

"There's so much you don't know. And, again, meat buns have names! Liu Yong glanced at Yang Zhang and said unhappily.

"Look at the name, it's really talented." Yang Zhang pulled from one end of the bathtub to the other end near Liu Yong, and said gossipily on the edge of the bucket: "And the girl doll the day before yesterday, what's it called?" Yuan Niang, right, what the hell is going on? ”

"You say you, what are you doing with so much nonsense in a bath? Didn't you occupy your mouth? Liu Yong was worried about Yuanniang's affairs, for fear that he would be "evaporated" if he didn't pay attention, so he naturally didn't want to say this, so he said impatiently.

"Hey, you're right, taking a bath really doesn't take your mouth......"

It turns out that people with poor mouths generally don't end well, and before Yang Zhang finished speaking, he was pressed into the bathtub by Liu Yong, who suddenly stood up. Several other people also quickly joined the battle, naturally with Liu Yong, Yang Zhang abandoned his weapons and surrendered after a while, and had to take on the "heavy responsibility" of washing everyone's cloud socks.

The next day was still early in the morning, and the students were called out by Meng Banxian. Everyone simply drank a bowl of bean foam and ate some oil cakes, which was used as breakfast.

"You said that this Meng Banxian is almost seventy, why do you seem to be nothing?" Wang Yu looked at Meng Banxian, who was constantly directing the groom and his men to carry things next to the carriage, and said in wonder.

"Who knows? Maybe it's the same as Lu Guogong's 'but he can adapt at will, don't hurt the harmony with external objects, don't dare to do things, just stop'. The eldest Zhou Rong shrugged his shoulders and said.

Luguo Gongwen Yanbo can be said to be a famous long-lived figure in the Song Dynasty, living from the Zhenzong Dynasty to the Zhezong Dynasty, six generations of emperors. If I could live another three or two years, it would be seven.

In the last years of Yuanfeng, Lu Guogong Zhishi wanted to return to Luoyang, and before leaving, Shenzong asked him why he was over eighty years old but still healthy, and Wen Yanbo replied to what Zhou Rong said just now.

However, it is obviously very inappropriate to compare Meng Banxian with Biluguo Gongwen Yanbo, and it seems that except for the third sentence "I dare not do anything wrong", there is no one that is in line with it.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and climbed into the carriage.

At the end of the day, the convoy set off on time.

The second day was no longer as smooth as the first day. After the county seat of Mi County, and then go west, there is a mountainous area.

In August, it was still raining in the Gyeonggi area, and it had a heavy rain just a few days ago. By noon, the convoy encountered another heavy rain, which made the mountain roads slippery.

"Be careful!" The horsemen reminded each other that it was a steep curve, with towering mountain walls on one side and steep cliffs on the other.

"Head retracted!" Liu Yong was stuffy in the car, so he poked his head out of the window to see what was going on. At first glance, I saw a cliff half a zhang away, dozens of feet deep. A small rock was knocked down the cliff face by the rain, and it fell straight down the cliff, and soon disappeared without a trace. Liu Yong, who was afraid of heights, instantly felt that his body was weak, and before he could think about it, he was seen by the coachman in another carriage following behind him, and shouted loudly.

Liu Yong hurriedly shrank back and sat in the carriage to calm his mood. For a moment, the world was filled with the sound of rain falling on the ground, and the sound of horses' hooves stepping over puddles of stagnant water and wheels crushing over them.

After more than a dozen consecutive turns, the convoy finally drove through this dangerous section. But soon, with a shout, the convoy stopped.

"What's going on?" The students in the carriage asked curiously. Then he poked his head out and looked out.

I saw Meng Banxian with a gloomy face, jumping down from his carriage in the heavy rain, and gesturing with a few coachmen and saying something.

"It looks like a car has fallen off a cliff!"

Yang Zhang, who had a better ear, burst out with a surprising sound.

"Huh? Falling off a cliff? Which car is it? ”

The students in the carriage hurriedly asked.

"It can't be Meng Banxian's car falling off a cliff." Wang Yu muttered curiously.

"Stupid, didn't you see Meng Banxian standing there? If you fall off a cliff, you should be at the bottom. Yang Zhang replied disdainfully, and then tilted his ears to listen.

"It should be the last empty car." Yang Zhang said to the friends who were anxiously waiting for the news.

"The car? What's on that car? ”

Wang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Hell knows." It was Liu Yong who replied.

The students occupied three carriages, Meng Banxian occupied one, and in the end, no one knew what was in the carriage.

"Maybe it's a gift from Meng Banxian to the academy?" Liu Xun, who has never had a sense of presence in the carriage, spoke, and every time Liu Xun's father and mother took him to visit relatives' houses, he would always bring some gifts, so he said naively.

"Pull it down, Meng Banxian doesn't ask others to receive gifts, even if he gives gifts?" Yang Zhang waved his hand and said with a contemptuous smile.

"Maybe it's Meng Banxian's book." Zhou Bing thought for a moment and nodded.

As one of the four major academies, Songyang Academy naturally has a rich collection of books. At the same time, it is also one of the major book publishers in the country.

Naturally, Songyang Academy, which is based on learning, will not think that it has too many books, so there is a rule: if anyone can bring some books or scattered articles that have not been included in Songyang Academy for Songyang Academy to copy, they can choose books of the same value printed by the academy in return.

Therefore, every year, many scholars bring their treasures to Songyang Academy for exchange. Over time, Songyang Academy has included more and more books and articles, more and more people have come to exchange, and the library collection of Songyang Academy has become more and more perfect. Correspondingly, however, there are fewer and fewer books that can be used in exchange. Sometimes, even if you pull a cart of books, you can only hit the luck and be able to replace them with one or two.

That's why Zhou Bing said so.

"That Meng Banxian is distressed......
