Chapter 132: The car returns to Lin'an
Yuehu's chariot and horse gang is a rather large yard, there is a blue brick house facing east under the west wall of the yard, and about a dozen carriages are parked around the courtyard. At this time, the horses were kept in the stables with pergolas on the south side, and most of the carriages were left with only one carriage, which was propped up on the ground by the crossbar in front of the carriage. Only in front of the carriage and horse gang, there were three cars with tethered horses, which were ordered by Li Zhuoran and Xiang Kang.
Hearing that someone was coming, a few handlebars in their thirties immediately walked out of the tile house, and when they saw Li Zhuoran, one of them took the initiative to greet him: "Is this on the road?" Li Zhuoran churned lightly and said politely: "I'm in a hurry at noon, I'm really sorry not to go, how many people have eaten?" The handlebars said: "Don't worry, the guest officer, we have already eaten, and it is just right to rush at noon, and it is lukewarm." So saying, he went to his carriage and took the bench from the carriage.
Because it is a car that takes guests on a tour, the carriage is relatively small, and each car can only seat three or four people. Li Zhuoran and Xiang Kang hurriedly arranged for everyone to get into the car, Ning Er and Jinshu walked up first, Su Mengtang stood under the car and hugged Ximen March, and when Su Mengtang got into the car, Li Zhuoran asked her in a low voice: "Mengtang, just now Ning Er said that you don't need to wait for Miss Zifeng and the five Chai brothers, saying that you arranged it." How did you plan this and how did they get back? ”
Su Mengtang explained to him: "Brother Zhuoran, the situation was chaotic in the morning, I was worried that everyone was looking at Hailou and no one was taking care of Qingpingzhai, so I told the two of them that if they couldn't find Ximen and Qiuqiu near Gushan Road, let them immediately find a way to go back to Qingpingzhai and wait for news." Rest assured, they'll find a way back. ”
Li Zhuoran said again: "Well, if you don't have to wait, then let's set off immediately." It's just that everyone doesn't sit together, and the matter of Bihu, let's think of our own ideas first, and then discuss it when we get to Lin'an. Su Mengtang couldn't help but be a little worried, and said, "Okay, I'll discuss with Ning'er first and see if Master Tong can help us." With that, he gently lifted the curtain and got into it.
There were three adults and a child in the carriage, a little crowded, Ximen March opened a corner curtain in a new way, saw Qiuqiu still standing on the ground, and waved at her: "Xiao Qiu'er, why haven't you gotten on the train yet?" Hearing this, Qiuqiu turned around and walked towards the west gate, she stretched out her hand and pointed to Zhang Yunhua and Zhao Qingzhou not far away, and said, "Master and Uncle Qingzhou are still saying goodbye to Uncle Fan, I'm waiting here." ”
Ximen March looked up and saw that Zhang Yunhua was still speaking, and hurriedly said to Qiuqiu: "You get in our car and come up, Xiao Qiu'er, let's squeeze." Qiuqiu looked inside through the corner curtain and saw that it was full, so she shook her head and said, "No, I'll still follow Master." While speaking, Zhang Yunhua and Zhao Qingzhou had already said goodbye to the eldest brother of the Fan family, and walked to this side, Qiuqiu waved his hand at the west gate and said with a smile: "In March, let's see you in Lin'an."
March saw that on the first carriage in front of him, Zhang Yunhua and Qiuqiu sat in together, put down the corner curtain very disappointed, sighed and said: "It would be nice if the car was bigger, and Xiao Qiu'er would be able to sit with me." Su Mengtang chuckled and scratched Ximen March's face, and said, "Then Master will go down and give you Xiao Qiu'er back, okay?" Without waiting for Simon to answer, suddenly the car moved, and the sound of horses' hooves had already sounded.
Ximen March lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, I don't want to be separated from you anymore. Seeing Ximen's aggrieved appearance, Su Mengtang hurriedly hugged him into his arms, and said distressedly: "Okay, Master will definitely take a good look at you in the future, and never let you get lost again." Ning Er sat opposite and smiled at Ximen March: "Shame or not, little man, you have cried three times today, and your little Qiu'er sister has not cried." ”
Ou Jinshu heard the words and said to Su Mengtang: "Sister Mengtang, Qiuqiu is indeed not like an ordinary child, today on the boat, she talked to me and Ning Er about the experience of escaping, and explained the cause and effect, the ins and outs, all clearly, not chaotic at all, as calm as if ......" She thought for a while and said: "It's like telling a story in a book." ”
Su Mengtang's face was filled with surprise, and he said, "This kid is becoming more and more with Yunhua's temperament. When Simon heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master, then should I follow your temperament?" The three girls all laughed.
The three carriages traveled eastward, and after a short shuttle through the village dwellings, they moved away from the people and the village, and walked on a mountain path to Lin'an. The carriage was bumping up and down, and everyone was drowsy. Qiuqiu leaned on the corner of the carriage, her eyes closed, but her mind was recalling today's rather thrilling experience, and suddenly she heard the sound of gently turning a book in the carriage.
Qiuqiu's eyes opened in surprise, she looked at Yunhua first, and saw that although her master was still sitting, judging from his expression, he should have fallen asleep, so she turned her head to Zhao Qingzhou again: Qingzhou in front of him was sitting precariously, concentrating on reading a thin book that he didn't know where to take it out, he read it very seriously, and his eyes kept falling with the lines of words on the book.
Qiuqiu quietly exclaimed in her heart: she had only heard her master say that among the heroes of Liuting, Uncle Qingzhou had the highest knowledge, but she didn't expect him to be so diligent and bookish. It seems that since ancient times, the top students have been both smart and hardworking. Qiuqiu thought about her "Erya" again, which was about to grind out the edge in the box, she still hadn't memorized a few pages, if after returning to Qingyun Mountain, the master would test herself, then she would inevitably have to pretend to have a headache to deal with.
I don't know when I will return to Qingyun Mountain, Qiuqiu thought in her heart, that small courtyard has been unattended for a long time, and I don't know what it will become. Thinking about it, Qiuqiu only felt more and more sleepy, the sound of Master Yunhua's even and steady breathing in the carriage and the sound of Uncle Qingzhou's gently turning the pages of the book gradually became subtle and distant, Qiuqiu shrank into the cloak and fell asleep heavily.
When he was woken up, Qiuqiu found that the carriage had stopped, and Qingzhou was waking up Yunhua and said, "Yunhua, you have arrived in Lin'an." Zhang Yunhua opened his eyes, exhaled and asked, "Where are you?" Zhao Qingzhou said: "I looked not far ahead, and I had already arrived outside Xinghua Lane, so I stopped the carriage." Yunhua nodded, but didn't move, and didn't seem to have fully woken up.
Seeing that he looked half-asleep and half-awake, Zhao Qingzhou smiled and said: "Quick, let's go down, these few steps, just walk, let them go back to Yuejia Village as soon as possible." Zhang Yunhua also laughed, patted his head and said, "Why did I sleep so soundly, who has been sleeping for so many hours." With that, he lifted the curtain and walked down.
Zhang Yunhua looked around and found that there were dozens of steps left, and he arrived at the entrance of Xinghua Lane, and he felt solid in his heart. At this time, the two cars behind also stopped behind at this time, and as soon as they stopped, Xiang Kang, Su Mengtang and others got out of the car, and everyone thanked the three drivers and walked forward together. When he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, Su Mengtang suddenly heard a familiar call: "Girl." ”
When Su Mengtang heard this, he raised his eyes to look for it, and saw Zifeng and Chai Wu walking out from behind the ginkgo tree in the south. "Sure enough, the two of you arrived early," Su Mengtang greeted him and said, "Since you came early, why didn't you go in to rest?" ”
Zifeng led Su Mengtang forward to the entrance of the alley, and pointed to the two carriages parked in the middle of the straight alley in front of him: "Girl, when we came just now, we saw these two carriages parked outside the gate of Zhang Gongzi's mansion, and there were a few guards guarding the door, so we didn't dare to go in, but only dared to wait here." Only then did everyone realize that in the middle of the alley, there were indeed two colorful carriages parked, and I don't know who came.
