Chapter Seventy-Nine: Huaxi Village
Gu Shaoting bought a carriage at a high price in the market, and now that the commander has died in the city, it is the time when the chaos is lax, the guards guarding the door are no longer at their posts, and naturally no one will come to search him.
In order to shorten the distance, Gu Shaoting also took a shortcut, which was not easy to walk, the road condition was extremely poor, and he felt very bumpy when sitting in the carriage.
However, Gu Shaoting is very good at driving a carriage, so the speed of moving forward is much faster than I imagined.
"From this road to Beijing, according to our current speed, it should be about five days to arrive." Gu Shaoting grabbed the reins with one hand, and took out the dry food that my uncle had prepared for us from the burden with the other, and asked me to eat some.
Where did I have the appetite to eat, waved my hand, and leaned against the carriage without saying a word.
"Don't be like this, you are not separated from life and death, you will meet again one day, like me, I will never see them again in this life." Gu Shaoting's face had a faint sadness.
Before, Ginkgo biloba more or less mentioned Gu Shaoting's matter to me, Gu Shaoting's family died when he was very young, he was adopted by Hu Ye in the Deepavali Pavilion, and he was always alone on weekdays, and he was not close to the people in the Deepavali Pavilion, so everyone called him "lone wolf" behind his back.
"Boom!"
After the carriage traveled for half a day, the already gloomy sky suddenly thundered.
Horse-drawn carriages are no better than automobiles, and not only can horses not walk in a violent storm, they are easily frightened, and even the people who drive the carriage are unbearable.
"In a moment, let's see if there's any place to rest." Gu Shaoting said, and slapped the horse hard, and the horse ran faster and faster.
It's just that before we could find a place to rest, the rain couldn't wait to pour down, and Gu Shaoting was instantly drenched in soup.
"Let me do it." Seeing that he was drenched all over, I hurriedly let him in and wanted to replace him, but Gu Shaoting was very stubborn and refused to let me catch the car.
"Shaoting, look over there, is there a house over there?" I squinted and could see a vaulted stone pier in front of me, and there seemed to be many houses behind it.
Gu Shaoting also saw it, and drove the carriage in that direction.
The stone pier looked near, but the carriage drove around a stream to reach the stone pier.
"Huaxi Village?" Gu Shaoting muttered.
I also poked my head out to look and found that there were red hydrangeas hanging on the stone pier, which looked like some happy event.
Gu Shaoting did not hesitate to drive into the boundary of Huaxi Village, and after entering, the houses were lined up one after another, but every household was closed.
The carriage went around the Huaxi Village, and we didn't find a place to stay, but we also found a very strange thing.
In front of the houses of the villagers of Huaxi Village, red hydrangeas are hung and pasted with happy couplets, is this the whole village doing happy events on the same day? I looked at this piece of red, and my face was confused.
Gu Shaoting jumped out of the carriage directly after going around, found a random family, and began to knock on the door.
Because the rain was particularly loud, Gu Shaoting also increased the force of knocking on the door.
"Anyone? We want to spend the night! Gu Shaoting shouted loudly.
I also got out of the carriage and vaguely heard movement behind the door, but the other party did not open the door for us, but shouted loudly: "Stranger, go quickly!" ”
