The car drove at a uniform speed on the official road, the sound of squeaking and clattering hooves of the three mules, and the bodies of the passengers in the car swayed gently from side to side with the bumps of the car, and soon shook people to sleep.

The strange passengers in the car were very quiet at first, but from time to time a man's eyes would drift over and look at the girl in pink in the car.

Because among the men in this car, the girl in pink is the only woman, and it is even more abrupt that she is traveling alone.

The girl in pink is facing away from the coachman, sitting at the front of the car facing the people in the car, every small movement of the people in the car is within the scope of her eyes, and she will not miss one, those peeking at her, but she doesn't see it, without a trace of annoyance.

She sat there quietly, with a smile on her face all the time, like Qinglian out of the mud without staining, just sitting in the car, that smile made people look at the bottom of their hearts but not mixed with a trace of distractions, so that people can only watch from a distance and not blasphemous.

Xiaocui recognized the girl in pink as soon as she got into the car.

Yesterday, it was this girl in pink who came to the rescue, and the pair of sisters and brothers didn't know what happened, at this time, the girl who helped the sister and brother was sitting next to her, so she couldn't help but want to ask her about the small fall and the result of the pair of sisters and brothers yesterday.

Xiao Cui observed the girl in pink for a while, and saw that she had been staring at the back of the car without squinting, and the smile on her face had not changed. I secretly made up my mind and decided to ask the question in my heart.

"This girl, did you rescue a pair of sisters and brothers yesterday, and the younger brother was sick, I don't know what happened?" Xiao Cui sat in the figure of the girl in pink, lowered her head slightly with her hands together, and asked politely in a low voice.

The smile on the face of the girl in pink did not change, but she withdrew her usual gaze, turned her head in the direction of Xiao Cui, tilted her head and observed her for a moment, before retracting her gaze, still looking into the distance and opening her mouth with a smile and said: "That brother has been treated, at this moment the sister and brother have taken the medicine I prescribed and some silver taels, and they have gone home to recuperate, and the silver taels are enough for them to buy medicine and recuperate for a month." ”

"The girl is really a bodhisattva! Small...... Xiao Tong thanked the girl for the sister and brother here. When Xiao Cui heard that the sister and brother had been saved, she was so excited that she almost revealed her identity.

"Whew!" The girl in pink lowered her head and covered her mouth with the sleeve of her right hand and sneered, softened for a moment, and then replied: "Little scholar, you don't have to be polite, those sisters and brothers have already thanked me." ”

As the girl in pink spoke, her eyes stared at Xiao Cui with playfulness, scanning her up and down.

Xiaocui was embarrassed by her, and the girl's eyes were hot, I'm afraid it's not interesting to herself? I can't help it, I'm also a daughter!

Xiao Cui hurriedly bowed her head and clasped her fists to salute briefly, and explained stumblingly: "Xiao Sheng, I admire the girl's righteous act of rescuing her yesterday, and it is all heartfelt words below. ”

"Hmm!" The girl saw that Xiaocui was shy, so she didn't look at her after answering the sentence, and continued to sit and look into the distance without squinting.

Xiaocui originally wanted to thank the girl in pink, but she didn't think about it, but she was looked at by the girl, I don't know why, how can the girl look at her with playfulness? What is she laughing at? Xiaocui lowered her head in confusion and pondered, but she couldn't figure it out or think it through. I looked at my clothes, and I touched my face, and there was nothing dirty. asked Tang Xiaotang suspiciously.

Tang Xiaotang had been listening to the conversation between the two just now, and had also observed the playful gaze of the girl in pink at Xiao Cui, and at this time, the alarm bell was in his heart, and he thought in his heart, "This girl is afraid that she knows the identity of herself and Xiao Cui!" When we met on the street yesterday, the eyes were full of self-scrutiny, and today I sat in a car so coincidentally, where is there such a coincidence! ”

In the conversation between Xiaocui and the girl in pink, Tang Xiaotang didn't interject from beginning to end, and the girl in pink didn't look at her, as if she didn't remember seeing her yesterday.

In the next journey, Tang Xiaotang was thinking about how they should get out if the girl in pink was running for himself and Xiaocui, and the other passengers got along with each other on this day's trip, and they were already chatting and getting familiar with homely things, no one noticed the silent Tang Xiaotang, but he felt that this scholar was a little introverted, sitting in the car, except for saying a few words to the scholar next to him, he had been sitting there quietly and pondering, and others felt that this scholar was probably a good learner. I don't like to interact with people, so no one takes the initiative to talk to Tang Xiaotang and Xiaocui.

During the day's journey, Tang Xiaotang spent all her time in a panic, she didn't tell Xiaocui about her worries, so Xiaocui was really bored later, and dozed off in the rickety car, and spent the second half of the day in a coma.

Everyone had some dry food to drink, and when they were hungry on the road, they would have a meal in the car, until the sun went down, and the car arrived at a halfway station, and the driver stopped the car and beckoned everyone to get off.

"It's almost dark and I'm not in a hurry, we'll rest here tonight, everyone take their luggage, go to the store where to register in a while, the store will arrange your room, and we will eat some in the evening, and we will continue to rush tomorrow morning."

The post station in the coachman's mouth is built next to Zhongguan Road, which is simply a square courtyard, without a courtyard wall, but simply encloses a courtyard as large as a three-point land with a bamboo fence. There are three rows of adobe bungalows on the east, west, and south sides, and it is a guest room for about a certain time.

Behind the courtyard is the mountain, which has a lot of stones, and the vegetation is sparse on the slopes of the rocky hills.

There are several large jujube trees planted in front of the courtyard gate, this season is the season of jujube tree flowering, and the small yellow flowers of the tender yellow ground float a trace of sweet jujube flowers from time to time.

There was a barn under a few jujube trees, and there were already three or five horses tethered in the shed, and at this time, the horses were sticking their heads out to eat the hay in the trough in front of the shed. In front of the stable, there are several tethered stakes standing in front of the trough, and it is estimated that when the barn is full and cannot be fitted, there are tethered stakes and troughs prepared for the temporary placement of horses.

After the driver's eldest brother stopped and beckoned the passengers to take their luggage and get off the car, he unloaded the mules that pulled the cart and pulled the three mules to the tethered stake in front of the stable.

Tang Xiaotang and Xiaocui carried their luggage on their backs, and after getting off the bus with the other passengers, they entered the post station through the fence courtyard gate.

The girl in pink did not come in with everyone, she first went to the stable, and after observing the surrounding situation, she did not know what to ask with the coachman, and after the coachman had placed the mule and the cart, she entered the post station with the coachman.
