Chapter 123: Young Master Qian Zhuang who can't be willful
Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu came out of the inn, and a little guy had already helped him take the donkey cart out, seeing that Lao Huang was in good spirits, and the forage he ate yesterday should still be good.
Although he had been mentally prepared, but when he saw that this was like a donkey cart that would fall apart at any time, Li Mu still grabbed Xu Mingyuan's sleeve with some hesitation and said, "This donkey cart won't fall apart if it doesn't drive." ”
Xu Mingyuan put the bamboo box in the car, stroked Lao Huang's head, led the donkey cart out of the courtyard gate, turned his head to look at Li Mu and said with a smile: "If you are not at ease, then go directly to Liangzhou, get the silver there, and buy a thousand miles of horses again." ”
"How can you not be at ease, this car is very solid at a glance, let's go, let's go on the road." Li Mu shook his head again and again.
Xu Mingyuan sat on the wheel, and Li Mu sat directly on the wheel of the order side with a spear, but as soon as he sat down, the wheel made a creaking sound, as if it was about to be broken.
"You go straight to the car, but don't break the wheel, and the spear, with the head pointed inward, sticking out from the front." Xu Mingyuan hurriedly jumped to the ground and said helplessly.
"Okay." Li Mu scratched his head a little embarrassed, bent down and got into the carriage, exposing the tail of the spear outward.
Xu Mingyuan put the spear on the frame of the carriage on the other side, sat on the wheel, and said to Lao Huang: "Lao Huang, walk, it's okay to walk slowly today." ”
"Are you still talking to a donkey?" Li Mu poked out his head and asked curiously.
Xu Mingyuan leaned on the carriage, rolled his eyes and said: "Lao Huang, he understands, this is not all the way to bring me here from Shuzhou, I want to go to Chang'an." It's all about it. ”
"Then this donkey is really good, how do you tame it. Or help me train a horse, and I always have to ask for directions when I go out. Li Mu's eyes lit up. Asked with a smile.
"If your horse has been everywhere in the world, then he can know the way everywhere." Xu Mingyuan smiled, closed his eyes, and felt the cool autumn breeze.
It's been almost a month since I set off from Shuzhou, and I met Qi Haobo who was chased by half of the rivers and lakes not long after, and now there is a young master from the world's first money village who escaped in the car, but everyone has met it.
The donkey cart gradually drove away, and in the inn, Nie Shuangniang sat in the position where Xu Mingyuan was sitting before. Holding the handwriting written by Xu Mingyuan, he seemed to be in a daze.
Xiucai was still standing behind the counter, holding a broken abacus in one hand and an extraordinarily heavy brush in the other, but his eyes fell on Nie Shuangniang's body, and Mu Ne's eyes seemed to be a little gentle.
Xu Mingyuan glanced back at the inn that was about to be out of sight, this seemingly ordinary inn had such unusual people, as if they were waiting for something.
The donkey cart went up the post road. When it was almost noon, the outline of a large city appeared in front of the two of them, and Liangzhou City was about to arrive.
"Look, Liangzhou City is almost here. Let's go in and have a good meal, the food we ate at the inn yesterday can only be considered average, let's go see if we can find a better restaurant. Li Mu lifted the curtain and looked at Liangzhou City. Said excitedly.
"We don't have any money to eat and drink in Liangzhou City, there is a small town in front of us. Let's go in and buy some dry food, and we won't go into Liangzhou City. Xu Mingyuan, who was sitting on the wheel, shook his head and said. The tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
"But ......" Li Mu wanted to say something.
Xu Mingyuan said lightly: "I don't know where the Longxing money village in Shuzhou City is, do you want to find someone to ask for directions?" ”
"Haha, where is it, let's go to the town ahead to buy some dry food, while it's still early, let's hurry more." Li Mu laughed, retracted his head directly, and said no more.
Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, reached into the carriage and took a water bladder, raised his head and drank two sips, thinking about how to spend the remaining silver to be able to reach Chang'an.
Li Mu should have escaped by himself as he said, with his identity, it was strange that his father could let him run out to participate in some martial arts, and go to the dangerous border to serve.
Li Mu has a bold personality and is not a difficult person to get along with, but he is used to spending money lavishly, and now he wants to go to Chang'an with Xu Mingyuan all the way to Chang'an, and I don't know if he can stand it.
However, Longxing money houses are all over Dawan, if he really can't stand it, he can go back to the life of the eldest young master by finding a money bank, but I'm afraid it won't be long before his father will be arrested back to Jiangnan.
The donkey cart entered a small town outside Liangzhou City, Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu ate two bowls of noodles at a roadside stall, and then bought some coarse grain cakes that could be stored for a while, and left directly from the post road outside Liangzhou City, without entering Liangzhou City.
Lao Huang is old after all, Li Mu is strong, and he also brought an iron gun weighing fifty or sixty pounds, so he didn't walk fast.
Li Mu didn't dislike it, he spent almost the whole day sleeping, and when he woke up, he flipped over the books on the car, and he didn't complain too much.
The sky was getting dark, and the donkey cart also drove into a town, Xu Mingyuan asked for directions, and in Li Mu's complaining eyes, he did not hesitate to enter the small one in the choice of a large inn and a small inn.
When the two of them sat in the dim room and nibbled on coarse grain cakes with clear water, Li Mu looked at Xu Mingyuan and said with some hesitation: "We won't have to eat such things all the way, and then two big men will squeeze into a small room and go to Chang'an like this." ”
Xu Mingyuan swallowed the last bite of cake, drank two sips of water, and said while taking out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "I don't have much silver left here, otherwise, if we can't get to Chang'an, we will have to drink the northwest wind." The further north you go, the colder it gets, and if you don't have any money and sleep on the streets, you might freeze to death. ”
"But this room is also ......," Li Mu said as he chewed on a coarse grain cake.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Mingyuan, who was already sitting at the table and began to write, said lightly: "This place is not far from Liangzhou City." ”
"Well, this cake tastes pretty good, and the more you chew it, the stronger it gets." Li Mu lowered his head and concentrated on nibbling on the cake, as if he hadn't heard Xu Mingyuan's words.
Early the next morning, the donkey cart left the town and continued unhurriedly to the northeast.
Along the way, Li Mu said the most: "This room is too small, is this meal eaten by people, why is this cake getting harder and harder, this ......"
However, no matter what Li Mu said, Xu Mingyuan would only mention lightly: "There should be Longxing Money Village near here." ”
Then Li Mu died down, and swallowed no matter how hard the cake was.
However, in addition to eating and living a little shabby, the friendship between the two has improved a lot, and from time to time they will take advantage of Lao Huang's rest to learn from each other, and they both have strengths.
More than ten days later, a majestic city finally appeared in the sight of the two. (To be continued.) )
