Chapter 19 Inventory
The old man in front of him tugged on the reins and shouted, Chihiro didn't understand, but the next moment she understood what the old man meant.
The donkey cart made a sharp turn, and the three of them had no time to react, and the beggar who had been holding the edge of the cart with one hand was thrown off.
However, the sudden turn also caused Chihiro to roll heavily to the side of the car, and in a hurry, she hooked the hemp rope that held the haystack in place, and her legs were already hanging outside. And the beggar who had grabbed her leg had already spared her, clinging to the edge of the car firmly, and most of his body was lying on the haystack.
The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears.
She grabbed the hemp rope that bundled the grass with one hand, and with the other hand she dragged the haystack and climbed it hard.
The beggar quickly climbed into the car and came to Chihiro, looking at her condescendingly.
Looking at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old child in front of her, she didn't know how to react.
The next step for this kid should be to kick himself down, she thought sadly.
To her surprise, the beggar just glanced at her, and then climbed over the tall haystack to find the old man who was driving the cart.
The old man did not expect someone to appear from behind, and he dodged the beggar's first attack, swinging his whip and striking the beggar in the arm.
The beggar withdrew his hand painfully, but did not give up his intention to take the car.
Chihiro didn't know the battle ahead, but the crackling sound from the front, the sound of the donkey and the humming of the two, she could guess how fierce the battle was, she didn't dare to be distracted anymore, she had to climb up quickly and help the old man who was driving the car.
Suddenly, with a high-pitched donkey call, the donkey cart tilted, and she swung head-heavy towards the opposite side.
The beggar behind only saw that one side of the donkey cart was turning to a large rock, and even the whole cart continued to drive at a strange angle of almost 90 degrees.
The car was about to overturn, and they all thought so, and followed faster.
The two haystacks next to the car had fallen under gravity and become inverted shallots, and if she didn't hold on tightly, she would become the third shallot.
But fortunately, the thrilling donkey cart, which was in the air, returned to the ground heavily, and the internal organs of Chihiro were about to shatter.
At the same time, the beggar was kicked to the side of the road and rolled twice before stopping.
She finally climbed into the car, panting, leaning against the haystack, and she saw the beggar who had snatched the car lying motionless on the ground, his face raised, his eyes flashing with resentment and unwillingness.
What kind of world is this......
"Ahh......h
In the evening, the two finally saw the imperial city. Fortunately, there are no beggars at the foot of the imperial city, and this group of beggars seems to have built a personal flesh wall on the periphery of the imperial city, and through the human wall, they are now safer.
One of the old man's eyes was a little bruised as if he had painted smoky makeup, and there were a few blood marks on his hands. He parked the car in the woods by the side of the road, got out of the car and rummaged over the haystacks, babbling and talking.
That's really ...... Daughter-in-law at the age of twelve - don't understand anything.
After a long time, through the old man's hand dance, Chihiro finally understood that he wanted to hide himself in the hay.
She glanced at the gates of the city, where there was a long line of people dressed in various colors, who had to be searched by the soldiers defending the city to pass through.
She hesitated a little, but the old man should be right to do this, the soldiers checked very carefully, everyone would check carefully, even carrying a basket and carrying a bag, was also asked to check. The inspection is much stricter than expected.
She didn't have anything to prove her identity, and it was clear that the old man knew that.
She looked strangely at the shrewd old man in front of her.
A donkey cart carrying hay stopped, and the old man who drove the cart laughed, came down to say a few words to the soldiers guarding the city, and handed over the number plate. The other walked up to the car and looked through it.
There was a lot of grass in this cart, enough to hide an adult.
The old man saw that the soldier wanted to rummage through the haystack, so he stepped forward to stop him, muttering something.
It's not good to mess up.
The soldiers guarding the city were very experienced, and looking at this person's appearance, there should be something wrong with the grass, so he immediately stepped forward to stop the old man.
No one paid any attention to the old man, leaving him to sigh and sigh, and they carefully examined the haystack, but found nothing, and of course, it was a mess.
The old man looked at the cart of messy grass, and his mouth was broken, and he squeezed out two lines of tears.
The soldiers are very impatient, this old man is too mother-in-law and mother-in-law, but he is just a cart of grass, is this so?
They let the car go, urging the old man to hurry away, get out of the way, and check on the next person.
It's really too dangerous! The old man got back into the car, clutching his chest, and there was still a thumping and jumping fast.
He didn't stop talking, acting still has to have a beginning and an end, and it can't be unfinished, right?
Fortunately, because many people have entered the city recently to see the princess's dignity, the queue into the city is long and long, bustling inside and out, otherwise it may not be able to get through.
I won't do this kind of business again next time, I'm going to die! Two bales of grass were lost, the cart was broken, and the donkey companion was frightened. The old man secretly admonished himself and turned into the nearest uninhabited path with the car.
He must raise the price with that man!
After the cart came to a stop, Chihiro slowly climbed out from under the donkey cart.
Tearing off the hemp rope tied to her body, wiping the dirt and sweat on her face with her sleeve, and pulling off the dead grass stuck to her hair by the way, she took out a small purse from her arms.
The ninja's stiff and numb arm as she opened her purse, not knowing which one to give.
What is the unit of currency here? Chihiro frowned, picking and picking one of the smallest.
That's it, if it's not enough, she'll just change it.
The old man was a good old man, and he babbled with her and made comparisons, confiscated the silver, and walked away with a whip.
What does this old man mean in the end, who can tell her?
The sun is setting, and the east is already showing night.
She sat on the side of the road, massaging her sore arms and legs. Just now she hung under the car and escaped the interrogation, God knows how she persevered.
But where do you go next? She rubbed her empty stomach and decided to find a roadside stall to fill her stomach first, and then find a place to rest.
It was easy to find a place to eat, and she asked for two bowls of noodles and a stack of side dishes, and ate them in large gulps.
The woman in charge of the shop looked at Chihiro as if she had seen a monster, she didn't understand how a woman could eat so many things, and she still knew how big her own bowl was.
Chihiro knew that the bowls in this shop were huge, but she had just experienced nine deaths, and she decided to eat enough to soothe her frightened heart.
What's more, she wants to eat enough before the next execution, and she doesn't want to be a starving ghost when she dies.
Hachi's words may be true, but what she doesn't understand is, why bother?
Why don't you just get a thunderbolt and kill her?
Thinking of this, she bounced, left her position, and looked up at the sky, and there was no sign of thunder......
She didn't dare to have such a thought anymore, so she sat down again tremblingly and quickly sucked the noodles.
