Chapter 6: Iru (II)
Great Wan Liang Horse!
This is not often seen in later generations.
Liu Chuang has ridden horses, but most of them are the kind of ploughing horses or leading horses, compared with the big Wanliang horse in front of him, they are simply scum......
"Why don't you try it?"
"I ...... Forget it, I'm still going to Iru, and I won't be able to come back any later. โ
Elk pouted, "Okay, what are you doing in Iru?" โ
"It's not about helping Uncle Hai deliver something and running some errands by the way."
Elk's eyes lit up, "Then I'll go with you!" โ
"Huh?" Liu Chuang was naturally very happy in his heart, but Elk was a girl after all, although Yilu was not too far away, it was a little inconvenient after all.
"The third lady is going, of course I'm happy, but ......"
"Hee-hee, just say yes!" Without waiting for Liu Chuang to finish speaking, he puffed out his mouth and said with an unhappy face: "When the second brother came back, he was busy with those messy things, and no one accompanied me at all." Anyway, Ilu is not far away, I just need someone to talk to him! โ
As she spoke, she turned around and shouted, "Elk Yuan! โ
From the corner in front of him, a young man ran in, "What does the third lady command?" โ
"I'm going to Yilu, you go back and talk to the second brother, you must come back before dark."
When Lu Yuan heard this, he was immediately shocked, "Third Miss must not ...... It's a mess over there, and it's the time of year when pirates are around, so if there's a business trip, ......"
Elk snorted, "I almost went out of the pool yesterday, why didn't I see you stop me."
Besides, Silly Bear, with me, will definitely protect me...... Silly bear, don't you think so? โ
Moose puffed out his mouth and looked at Liu Chuang.
At this time, Liu Chuang had to nod his head no matter what, "That's natural, of course I will protect the third lady." โ
Moose smiled!
That smile was brilliant.
She said to Lu Yuan, "That's it...... Besides, if it weren't for the elk wading following, nothing would have happened on the way. Moose, moose. โ
The young man who followed behind Lu Yuan stood up and arched his hand, "What do you want from the third young lady?" โ
"You're here to catch the car."
"Huh?"
Regardless of what Elkwa's expression was, Elk Jincai beckoned to Liu Chuang: "Silly bear, you ride my horse, and I ride Elkwa's horse...... Hee-hee, didn't you always say you wanted to learn how to ride a horse? Just take this opportunity to teach you how to ride a horse? Hee-hee, I just don't know if you can learn it. โ
Elk Wade cried with a sad face, and his heart was full of reluctance.
But since the elk has already opened his mouth, even if he is unwilling, he can only pinch his nose and agree.
Liu Chuang also had a headache, because he really couldn't ride a horse. The kind of horse he rode in his previous life, of course, can't be compared to a war horse. Moreover, when Liu Chuang walked up to the horse, he found that the white horse's body was only a pair of cushions made of Shu brocade, tied to the horse's back. On the side of the saddle, there is only one stirrup, which is completely different from the saddle stirrup in Liu Chuang's impression. Fortunately, Bai Ma's temperament is quite docile, and he does not have much resistance to Liu Chuang. At the urging of the elk, he stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and suddenly had an awkward feeling.
If you don't have saddle stirrups, you have to sit firmly on your waist and legs.
Fortunately, Liu Chuang has practiced martial arts for many years, and the strength of his waist and legs will naturally not be lacking.
Elk Jin rode on Elk's horse, and while instructing Liu Chuang on the key to riding a horse, he looked at Liu Chuang's clumsy appearance and giggled.
"Brother, what can I do?"
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Shi with a look of embarrassment.
Elk Shi sighed, sat in the carriage, looked at Liu Chuang's back, and suddenly spat on it.
"Do what you have to do!" He said softly: "The second master ordered us to obey the orders of the third lady, what else can we do?" You go back, talk to the second master, and explain the experience to the second master. I followed Miss San and Nano Boy to Iro. โ
I don't know what kind of demon the third lady is in, she is so friendly to a wild boy...... I've got to keep an eye on that kid so that I don't spoil my lord.
Thinking of this, Elk Sheen raised his whip and drove, urging the carriage to chase after Liu Chuang and the others.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yilu Township is only thirty miles away from Qu County.
If you hurry up, an hour is enough to arrive. It's a pity that when he encounters a junior brother like Liu Chuang, who has a riding skill level of zero, it is impossible to speed up. Instead, stop and go, keep adjusting. On weekdays, the journey of one and a half hours actually took nearly three hours.
It was not until noon that we arrived at Yilu Township.
Liu Chuang almost rolled off his horse and stood on the ground for a while.
In the past, I always felt that riding a horse was an easy job, but after really trying, Liu Chuang no longer felt easy. Not to mention the fact that there is no saddle stirrup, it is hard work to maintain balance on the horse by relying on the strength of the waist and legs. When it comes to manipulating horses, it doesn't have to be solved with four words. You must be familiar with the temperament of the horse, follow the horse's strength, and not make the horse unhappy.
If you encounter any emergencies on the road, you must be more alert.
Liu Chuang fell from his horse twice, once because he did not have the strength to control the reins, he was overturned by the white horse, and he was almost kicked with a hoof; Another time was because a rabbit suddenly appeared on the side of the road, startling the white horse and throwing Liu Chuang off the horse again.
However, the two defeats gave Liu Chuang enough experience.
At least when he was about to arrive in Yilu Township, he was already riding like that.
"What's good, it's just that I'm just sitting tight right away, and I'm ...... a fat bear alive."
Liu Chuang's wolf bรจi provoked laughter and laughter along the way, "Stupid bear, your riding skills are really bad!" Don't say that the two armies are on the battlefield and fight immediately, just say that this is a thousand miles of attack, I'm afraid you can't do it. When I get back, I'll have to train you well. Otherwise, even with me will be ridiculed. Also, this horse is on your side to take care of it. โ
"Huh?"
Liu Chuang was taken aback, looked at the elk, and was speechless for a long time.
He had heard Zhu Hai say that the price of horses was very expensive in those days. Don't say it's this kind of big Wanliang horse, just say it's a chariot horse and a ploughing horse, and a horse will range from 8,000 to 20,000 yuan. An ordinary war horse is about 20,000 to 100,000 yuan, and the price of this white horse is estimated to be between 120,000 and 150,000 yuan. Lu Jin said that he wanted him to take care of it, but it was better to say that he wanted to give the horse to Liu Chuang.
Such a precious gift made Liu Chuang feel flattered and a little overwhelmed.
Even Elk She, who was driving the car, frowned, "Third Miss, this horse was given by Liu Yuanjun." โ
Elk's face sank, "So what?" Since he gave me the horse, it is my horse...... I'm leaving it in the care of Big Bear now, what does it have to do with him? โ
"This ......"
"Don't talk too much, believe it or not, after I go back, let the second brother drive you to the salt farm."
The surname of Elk is Elk, but his 'Elk' is not the 'Elk' of his own family, but the surname of the son of the family is Elk. His father, an old man of the Elk family, got the surname 'Elk' because of his hard work. This is also a means for the family to win people's hearts, but in the final analysis, he has no blood relationship with the Elk family, he is just a slave of a family, and he has no status at all in the Elk family.
The salt field is the foundation of the elk family.
The elk family relied on privately made salt and sold salt to start their business, and naturally attached great importance to the salt farm.
It's just that the work of the salt works is very hard, and Elk Wade knows it. Even going to the salt factory to be a steward is a very hard job, and there is no oil and water to fish. Now he follows Lu Fang to do things, and he is also a figure in Qu County. If you do go to the salt works, it will be the real bad luck...... Anyway, sooner or later, this matter will be known by the eldest master, so why should I feel uncomfortable with myself?
Thinking of this, Moosa closed his mouth.
Lu Jin looked at Liu Chuang, "Stupid bear, you have to take good care of the pearl." โ
Pearl, is the name of the white horse.
Because the color of its eyes is as smooth as pearls, it is named pearl by moose.
Liu Chuang looked at the white horse, then at the elk, and suddenly smiled, "Three ladies, if you dare to send me, you dare to ask for it, don't regret it." โ
The delicate little nose wrinkled, and the elk smiled: "If you have wronged it, you must look good." โ
She also got off the horse, took the pearl, and walked side by side with Liu Chuang.
"Where are we going?"
"Saltwater Flats!"
Elk Wade said in the back: "Three ladies, it's best to find a place to rest in the market town, and I and Da Xiong will send things over."
The saltwater flats were extremely chaotic, with a mix of dragons and snakes, and it was not a good place. โ
Elk smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, anyway, there is a stupid bear, so he won't let me suffer...... Isn't that right, stupid bear? โ
Liu Chuang smiled innocently and nodded in agreement.
When encountering such two masters, Elk Shi could only smile bitterly.
Now that Elk has made up her mind, let her go...... Anyway, something happened, and Liu Chuang was on top. If you offend this eldest lady at this time, you won't be able to eat and walk around. That's it, be careful! With the name of my elk family, who would dare to provoke us?
I wanted to think so, but I still made preparations under my hands.
With his backhand, he pulled out a knife from his waist and placed it beside him, whipping his horse to follow.
"Three ladies?"
"Huh?"
"You're not angry?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Liu Chuang, "I thought about it for a long time after I went back yesterday, although I didn't know what happened to make you have such a huge change." But stupid bears are still stupid bears, I know that no matter what happens, you will help me and protect me as before, right? โ
Liu Chuang wanted to hold the little hand, but he couldn't muster up the courage.
However, he still nodded vigorously, "The stupid bear will always be the stupid bear of the third lady, and the third lady will always be the third lady of the stupid bear." โ
The smile of the elk is even brighter.
"That's it, why am I still angry with you?"
Liu Chuang's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current.
He walked side by side with the elk, and before he knew it, he had come to the saltwater flat.
The so-called saltwater flat was originally an abandoned salt factory.
Because the river water is brackish, it has the name of salt water flat. It is said that it was once the hometown of Zhong Liwu, a famous general in the Chu and Han dynasties...... After Zhong Limo's death, the original house was completely bulldozed, and the government requisitioned this land as official land, and opened the Yilu Township Salt Factory.
Later, the scale of the Yilu Township Salt Works was too small to supply Lianghuai salt.
At that time, in order to increase the production of salt, the king of Chu abolished the salt field in Yilu Township and set up a salt factory in Yandu instead. Slowly, the salt field of Yilu Township became the salt water flat of today. And because Yilu Township is adjacent to Haixi County, located between Qu County and Haixi, it is quite troublesome to govern, so it has been ignored by the government. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Salt Water Beach has gradually evolved into a black market, mixed with many outlaws.
As soon as he entered the salt water flat, Liu Chuang felt the tension in the air.
It feels like the anxiety and nervousness of the little monk Shifang walking into the market with a golden Buddha in the third mile of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
As far as the eye can see, they are all ragged people.
or armed with a sword, or with a hideous face......
When Liu Chuang and the three of them walked into the salt water beach, a pair of eyes suddenly fell on the three of them.
The eyes were full of greed and ferocity, which made the elk's heart tremble, and he subconsciously approached Liu Chuang and grabbed Liu Chuang's arm.
And the situation of Elk Wade was not much better, and a small face turned pale.
Liu Chuang also sensed that the situation was not good, and was about to comfort Elk, but he didn't want someone to suddenly rush over from the side of the road, Elk was caught off guard, and when he reacted and wanted to stop the carriage, he saw the man screaming, so he fell to the ground and rolled on the ground twice.
Moosa stopped the car and jumped down.
He was just about to step forward to investigate, but a group of people surrounded him from the hulala, and surrounded the three of them in the middle.
"What, do you still want to run if you hit someone?"
A big man with a fierce face stepped forward and grabbed Elkwa's arm.
Another man walked up to the man who was lying on the ground, rolling and wailing, squatted down and pretended to inspect it, and said, "Big brother, the pony's leg is broken." โ
"What?"
The big man was immediately furious, and refused to let go of the elk.
"If you hit someone, how can you walk away without losing money."
"Yes, lose money!"
The onlookers shouted and shouted, and there was a posture that they would not give up without losing money.
Liu Chuang stretched out his hand and pulled the elk behind him, letting her lean against the wheel, and then coldly watched the situation develop.
Suddenly, he stepped forward, puffed up his dantian qi, and shouted: "Pei Shao, if you don't come out again, you will hurt Heqi when you see blood." โ
