In the afternoon, it looked as if it was about to be dusk, and the carriage drove rapidly on the road, and the earth was squeezed by the wheels, bringing out two deep car marks, and the rain fell, and in an instant it merged into a slender and long ditch.

The rain didn't look like it was going to stop at all, Xie Gexian lifted the curtain and looked out, and smiled helplessly, as the girl said, the later the day, the heavier the rain.

"Childe, why don't we find a place to rest in front, it's so hot on a rainy day, what if you have a chance. And it's time to go to the mountain road any further, and it's not easy to find a place to stay. Ping An also looked out, only to see that he couldn't see anything outside except the rain line that was all over the sky.

"It's still early, and we'll talk about it when it's dark, and if there's no place to stay, it's okay to spend the night in this car." Xie Gexian lowered the curtain and said lightly.

Ping'an disagreed: "But what can you do if you don't have a good rest, and if it rains heavily at night, this carriage may not be able to withstand it!" ”

Xie Gexian only leaned on the couch, not caring on his face.

Ping An knows that his son-in-law has this temper, he looks gentle on the surface, but his temperament is the most twisted, and he can't persuade anyone to come back from what he has set in his heart. But he still couldn't help but persuade: "Although it is still summer, the weather has already become cooler after the rain in the past two days, and now I am out of the city again, and I don't know how cold it is at night." The boy was in a hurry this trip, and there was not much charcoal fire in the car, just such a small stove with warm tea, what can he do, if the son really catches a cold at night, how good can the body be damaged. And you can't get a hot soup and hot rice in this car, the five internal organs in the stomach can't be warm, and the body is even colder......"

"Ping'an, why are you becoming more and more like an old mother now!" Xie Gexian glanced at his own little girl, "When you said that, I thought I was a girl who couldn't even blow the wind." ”

Ping An ignored Xie Gexian's ridicule, poured out half a cup of hot tea, and continued: "Gongzi always doesn't care about himself like this, even the master of Foguang Temple said that you had better not suffer from the cold, but you always don't care, and you are not afraid of anything that is cold." If I hadn't watched it yesterday, you would have drunk that pot of wine without even being lukewarm. ”

Xie Gexian smiled and took the hot tea handed over by Ping'an, but he didn't drink it, just held it in his hand.

Ping'an made out a camel hair cloak again, and was ready to wait until it was too late, so he persuaded Xie Gexian to put it on. Xie Gexian had long been accustomed to Ping'an's mother-in-law's temperament, so she went with him, just holding hot tea in her hand and thinking about things.

It's just that after a while, the look on his face was slightly stunned, and when he listened carefully, his eyes showed a bit of solemnity.

A moment later, he heard someone outside shouting to stop, and before he could get up and look out, the carriage shook for a while, and then suddenly stopped.

"Who are you, why are you in my way!" Outside, the coachman asked him angrily.

"Childe?" Ping An first glanced at Xie Gexian, showing a little worry on his face, Xie Gexian handed the tea cup in his hand to Ping An, and then asked outside, "Lao Zhao, what's going on?" ”

"Childe, there is a ......" Before the coachman outside could reply, he was suddenly interrupted by a mellow voice: "The one sitting in the car is a son surnamed Xie?" ”

Xie Gexian was stunned when he heard who this voice was, and then laughed outward: "It turned out to be Brother Tai, today is really a coincidence!" ”

When Ah Sheng heard this, he knew that he had stopped the right person, so he immediately stepped forward. At this time, Ping'an also lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that in the pouring rain, one only carried a hat, because of the rain, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, only saw a very tall man, riding a jujube red horse is approaching his own side.

"Childe, this person ......" Ping'an's heart jumped suddenly, and for some reason, when he saw the man in the rain for the first time, he had an indescribable sense of danger. It's like, it's as if this pouring rain has no effect on this person at all, they hide in the car, try to avoid the wind and rain, but this person doesn't care!

Xie Gexian smiled faintly, and then leaned over and glanced out: "Brother Tai specially caught up?" ”

"You go the other way, something might happen the way forward." Ah Sheng rode to the vicinity of the carriage, pulled the reins and shouted.

Xie Gexian was slightly surprised, pondered for a while, and then said: "Brother Tai is so kind, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"What?" Ah Sheng frowned, and said bluntly, "Why are you talking like this, didn't you say it just now, this road is not safe in rainy days, let you turn around and change the official road." ”

"How do you talk!" Ping An didn't know Ah Sheng's temperament, but when the other party deliberately said such ugly words, and his attitude was still so self-righteous, he opened his mouth and said, "My son-in-law still needs your guidance on which way to go, who are you!" ”

"You sit back." Xie Gexian reprimanded him lightly, and then said to Ah Sheng, "It seems that Brother Tai is a warm-hearted person, but he has urgent matters under him, so he has to take this path, and he can only live up to Brother Tai's kindness." When he returns to Yongzhou in the next day, he will personally come to the door to thank him, and hope to make a friend of Brother Tai at that time. ”

Ah Sheng frowned again, Xie Gexian looked at him again for a while, and then lowered the curtain and let the coachman hurry again.

But as soon as the carriage moved, it came to a sharp stop, and then the coachman was heard shouting, "You, what's the matter with you!" ”

"What's wrong?" Xie Gexian had no choice but to ask again.

"Childe, he, he stopped in front, this road is narrow, and the carriage can't pass!" The coachman hurriedly turned around and said in embarrassment, it is said that if he wants to meet this short-sighted person on weekdays, he is afraid that he will rush over directly, and if he wants to find death, he can't blame others. When I heard Xie Gexian talking to this person just now, his tone was very polite, so the coachman didn't dare to offend the other party casually.

Ping'an was also surprised, and hurriedly opened the curtain and poked his head out to glance ahead, and really saw the man in front of him standing on the road on horseback. Ping An was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself who he had met? What's going on? Although he also hoped in his heart that Gongzi could take the official road and find an inn to rest for another night tonight, but, but this thing is obviously wrong in front of him! This shouldn't be a flute head, what's the ......

"Childe, this person is too rude, do you want Lao Zhao to throw him out directly!" Ping'an turned his head to look at Xie Gexian, first said angrily, and then said tentatively, "Then, then son, let's change the official road, okay?" ”

Xie Gexian glanced at him, and Ping'an couldn't help shrinking his neck: "I just think this road is really difficult to walk, although it is closer, but now that it is raining, the sky is getting darker and darker......"

"Can you come forward and speak?" Xie Gexian was actually very puzzled in his heart, why Ah Sheng insisted on doing this. From the first sight of this person, he felt that it was not simple, and after the second contact, he had the heart to make friends, so he was extremely polite to him from the beginning. It's just that if he changes his route today, it will take at least a day to get to Beijing, but the current matter does not allow him to delay it longer.

After Xie Gexian just refused, Ah Sheng rode a horse to stop in front, his purpose was not to waste time with the other party, but to think about whether to steam the other party's horse or braise it. It was only when he looked into the coachman's eyes that he hesitated a little, feeling that such a simple method was not easy to execute.

After a stalemate for a while, he just heard Xie Gexian's tone of discussion, he measured it in his heart, and then rode over again, and then without waiting for Xie Gexian to speak, he opened his mouth and said: "The smell of this rain is very strong, and the clouds in the sky are also very restless, according to me, it will take at least three days to see the sun, don't have any luck in your heart." ”

Xie Gexian was stunned for a moment, chewing Ah Sheng's words just now: "The taste of rain ......" and then couldn't help laughing, "Brother Tai's words are always wonderful, I don't know if Brother Tai has studied celestial phenomena and knows the law of change?" ”

"It's just a gut feeling." Ah Sheng's body was already soaked, and even the horse he sat on seemed a little uneasy, always moving the horse's hooves from time to time, or raising his head, as if he was annoyed by the ghost weather. Ah Sheng only patted the horse on the neck, and then pulled the reins, and the horse became obedient when he saw it.

Xie Gexian looked at Ah Sheng for a while, as if he was thinking about the truth of his words, so this invisibly became a stalemate again.

The peace in the carriage became more and more uneasy in this silence, but in the rain, Ah Sheng looked the same as before, and such bad weather did not have a big impact on him.

Time passed bit by bit, and Ping An didn't understand what his son was thinking, but looking at his son's rare serious expression, he didn't talk much.

Ah Sheng stood there on horseback, motionless, as if hunting, unexpectedly patient.

Xie Gexian finally raised the corners of his mouth again, but when he opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly looked forward, and at the same time, Ah Sheng also turned his head to look in the same direction.

Not far ahead, several embarrassed figures and two horses were approaching this line.

Xie Gexian's brows moved, but he didn't speak, Ah Sheng sniffed carefully, and didn't move. When those people approached, they looked closer, and it seemed to be a merchant who was walking the tea goods.

"What's going on with my brothers? Something happened in front, why is there mud all over your body! Lao Zhao, who was driving the car, first asked loudly.

"Don't mention it, it's really scary to die after taking a trip from the ghost gate!" One of them complained at first, and then they said it to me. It turned out that just now, at a bend less than a mile ahead, the mud on the mountain was completely washed down by the rain, and the mountain road below was covered by the mountain debris flow almost instantly, and the mountain on the side was reduced by half in the blink of an eye. If they hadn't gone fast before, they would have been buried alive!

"Hurry up and turn around and go another way, now that road is broken, you can't get through." The tea merchants, who had survived death, said one more sentence at the end, and then supported each other to leave.

Ping An is startled into a cold sweat, if it weren't for this strange person coming to block the way, he and Gongzi would have been buried there.

"Childe!" Ping An looked at Xie Gexian with palpitations, and Xie Gexian also glanced at Ah Sheng with some complicated eyes. After Ah Sheng listened to the words of the tea merchants, he knew that this surnamed Xie had to change his way today, so he stopped wasting time with him, turned his horse's head, and went home to eat beef noodles.

"Brother, please stay!" It's just that when he was about to kick the horse's belly, Xie Gexian suddenly jumped down from the car and stopped him, and Ping An hurriedly followed him with an umbrella.

Ah Sheng paused and turned back.

"Brother Tai's life-saving grace, I am grateful!" Xie Gexian hugged his fists and bowed as he spoke.

"If you want to thank me, thank my eldest girl, it was the girl who asked me to come and stop you." Ah Sheng glanced at him, threw down a sentence, and kicked at the horse's belly, Xie Gexian was stunned, and before he could ask, Ah Sheng had already ridden away.

"This horsemanship, this patience, really doesn't look like an ordinary servant." Xie Gexian looked at the back of the distant figure in the rain and whispered.
