Chapter 210: A Drunkard
The winter days are short, and when you first arrive, it is already completely dark.
A covered carriage drove through the ice and snow to the south gate, and the main gate was about to close a little later.
As soon as the main gate is closed, the carriages and horses cannot enter the city, and only the small gates on both sides can be used for individual pedestrians to enter and exit.
The driver exhaled white air in his mouth, and shook the whip loudly, and the horse driving was covered in sweat, but he still ran forward desperately.
"Tie up the car," the driver said into the car, apparently with his companion inside: "There are many people in the city, don't cause trouble!" ”
"Got it," the tone of the person in the car was a little impatient: "I still need you to teach." ”
They had traveled for a full day, without food or drink, and when the hunger rose and the anger could not be contained.
No one wanted to do this errand, so they were assigned to the two of them.
The master's words did not dare to disobey, so he could only bite the bullet.
"Let's take the path," said the man in the car, "to be quick." ”
The driver thought about it, although the small road was not as easy to walk as the big road, but it was a shortcut, so he turned the horse's head and went to the side of the path.
It was fine at first, but halfway through the road was muddy and the wheels got stuck in it.
The driver scolded: "What bad luck!" ”
He shouted to the people in the car: "Don't get down and push the cart yet!" ”
The people in the car also got out of the car, reluctantly scolding that the road was not easy to walk.
The people who drove the car were desperately beating the horses in front, and the people behind were pushing the cart with all their might, but the car only moved back and forth, and could not get out at all.
Seeing that it was too late, the driver beat the carriage like crazy.
The two of them are so unlucky today, and they have been all kinds of bad luck since they got up in the morning.
The last horse's paw came off and broke the horse's leg, so they had to temporarily replace it with a farmer's horse.
But the horse's feet were not strong, and he could not go fast again after two hours in a row.
"I said you pushed hard!" The person who drove the cart yelled at the person pushing the cart: "Use all the strength of his mother on Sister Yao'er!" ”
The cart yelled: "I've done all the power on your grandma!" ”
The chariot gave the horse two more whips on his buttocks, and the horse couldn't stand it, so he lay on the ground with a plop, foaming at the mouth and seeing that he couldn't do it.
"Damn, how is this good?!" Both men were dumbfounded.
"I said you shouldn't have bought this horse, it looked like a sick one," complained the cart man, "I might have known that I might have bought that mule!" ”
"Less afterthought!" The driver took a sip: "You didn't hear the master's family say that the mule is blind in one eye!" ”
"I think you're blinder than a mule!" The cart sneered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the difference this time." ”
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and find a way together." The driver said: "There is no reason to cut off only my head at that time." ”
"Figured out? What can I do! In this wilderness, there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, where to find a way? Unless someone brings you a horse. The driver hugged his shoulders and pouted: "You must know that I am not a fairy." ”
"You" was about to scold him, but suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Don't say it, someone really sent a horse." ”
Not far behind them came a horse, unusually tall and powerful.
Although he only walks slowly, he can walk with correct steps and momentum, which is absolutely extraordinary.
I saw that the eyes of those two people were about to fall out.
It's a pity that the sky is dark at this time, and I can't see the color of the horse's fur clearly, and there seems to be something on the horse's back, a bunch of bosses.
"Why doesn't this horse even have a dragon head and reins?" The driver said, "It can't come out of any road, right?" ”
"If you want me to say don't care so much, let's use it first, and then talk about anything when we enter the city," said the cart man, "Don't you dare to delay the business." ”
The driver thought about it for a while, and said, "What you said makes sense, we have to go into the city quickly." ”
As he spoke, the horse had already come to him, and the road was not wide, and with a carriage in the way, the horse went even more slowly.
The driver said, "This is carrying a drunken man on this horse." ”
The man on horseback was drunk and snoring loudly, as if he had fallen asleep.
"What is there to be afraid of a drunkard," said the cart pusher, "let's get him off the horse." ”
The driver said, "That's not good, right?" ”
The cart sneered: "You really think of yourself as a good person." ”
The driver laughed: "Yes! I'm confused. ”
The two men stepped forward and tried to push the man on the horse down, but it was like pushing a city wall, and they couldn't shake it at all.
The two looked at each other and said, "What can I do?" ”
"There is another way," said the cart pusher, with some haste of his mind, "and let's tie this man to the waist with a rope, and tie the other end to a tree by the side of the road." ”
"And then?" The one who was in a hurry asked.
"You untie the dragon's head from that bad horse and put it on this horse, and then drive the horse so hard that the horse will not throw this drunkard off as soon as he runs?" The cart said, "So we can put this good horse on it." ”
"Hehe, it's a solution." Happy to catch the car.
One of the two people tied the drunkard, and the other put the dragon head reins on the horse.
The driver put a dragon head on the horse and asked, "Are you tied up over there?" ”
The cart man had to climb onto the horse to tie the drunk, but as soon as he came up, the drunkard grabbed him by the neck.
The big hand was like an iron tong, and the cart was so frightened that he didn't dare to scream.
"What are you two doing?" The drunken man dismounted as he spoke, and poked on the ground like an iron tower, carrying a cart in one hand like a dead chicken.
The car was shocked, and quickly knelt down and said, "A good man spares his life!" We two lard blinded our hearts and offended your old man. ”
The drunk looked around and pointed to the carriageway stuck in the mud: "What's on this car?" Look at you two sneaky, you must be doing a dishonorable deed. ”
"We are carrying goods to the city," said the charioteer, "because the car was trapped on the side road, and I saw your old horse Shenjun, so I made this decision." ”
The drunkard listened and put down the man he was carrying, walked to the back of the car and pushed it lightly with one hand, and the car came out of the mud.
The two men were so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths shut for a while, but the horse was already half dead, and they couldn't pull the cart anyway.
"Put the cart on my horse," said the drunkard, "and those who travel will inevitably encounter difficulties." ”
These two men are very grateful.
The drunkard got on the horse again, and the two got into the car.
The carriage was soon entering the city, and the drunken man suddenly remembered something, and turned back and asked, "Where are your goods going?" ”
I asked several times but no one answered, so I got off the horse and lifted the curtain to see that I was dumbfounded.
The two men from before ran somewhere, and there were four children in the car with their hands and feet tied and gagged.
In a small alley a few feet away, two people hid in the dark.
"According to me, why bother running," the driver was a little unwilling: "We entered the city anyway, and no one noticed." ”
"You idiot!" The cart scolded: "It's really from the countryside, even Chao Yonggong can't recognize it." He is our master's opponent, and once he finds out, the two of us will die. ”
"So what now? How do you explain to your master when you go back? "The driver is cowardly.
"Go back? Do you want to go back? The cart sneered: "See if your legs are strong, run as far as you can!" ”
