"Oh, okay, seeing that you are pitiful, I will reward you with a piece." Liu Man'er handed a piece of meat to Zhang Shiquan, and after he took a bite, she said: "Anyway, you are a poor ghost, even if you are rich, your money is not clean!" ”

Where can Zhang Shiquan tolerate Liu Man'er to arrange him like this, and he is about to get angry again, but he understands in his heart that Liu Man'er is telling the truth, and he can only hold it in his heart.

"Don't be angry, I'll just talk about it." Seeing his unhappy expression, Liu Man'er was also a little soft-hearted, so she said again: "Although you have done a lot of wrong things before, I believe that you must not have made a big mistake, go to the military camp in the future, kill the enemy well, protect your family and defend the country, and make up for your mistakes." ”

Zhang Shiquan didn't speak, just muffled and bit the piece of meat in his hand, Liu Man'er felt that he lowered his head, really like an obedient dog, she wanted to touch his head, but she was afraid of provoking him, so she could only give up.

"Okay, don't be angry." She coaxed again: "In the future, you can change your mind and be a new person, and when the time comes to go to the city, I will pay for you to buy you a new set of clothes, and then take you to get a haircut, shave your beard, and clean up yourself, you are still a good man." ”

"Yes, yes, what the wooden woman said is right, Zhang Daxia, don't be angry." The coachman was afraid that Zhang Shiquan would suddenly attack the two of them, so he hurriedly echoed on the side.

Zhang Shiquan was a little upset when he heard the persuasion of the two, and shouted: "Lao Tzu is originally a good man, and he still needs the two of you to talk about it." ”

The coachman was originally cautious, but when he heard Zhang Shiquan's words, he was silent again, and Liu Man'er didn't want to say more, so after his voice, the atmosphere cooled down.

After a long time, Liu Man'er said, "You two should rest for a while, I will keep vigil for you." ”

"I'll do it, you girl, just have a good rest." Zhang Shiquan was a little manly, and he was embarrassed to let Liu Man'er keep vigil for him.

"Sleep with you, I've slept during the day, and I'm not sleepy now, if you feel embarrassed, I'll change you in the middle of the night." Liu Man'er said coldly.

Zhang Shiquan saw her insistence, so he didn't say more, he and the coachman lay down by the bonfire and dozed, Liu Man'er sat there with her knees crossed, and when Shuai Shuai also slept beside her, she became more and more bored alone.

The night was as cold as water, and in the second half of the night, the stars gradually receded, and the whole forest was quiet, leaving only Zhang Shiquan and the coachman's slight voice, Liu Man'er was upset when she heard it, and walked over and kicked Zhang Shiquan, who expected Zhang Shiquan to react too much, and grabbed her ankle at once.

Liu Man'er didn't have the slightest preparation, he was caught by his ankle without paying attention, and one of them fell to the ground without standing firmly, and when Zhang Shiquan opened his eyes, he saw Liu Man'er sitting on the ground and glaring at him.

Zhang Shiquan saw that his hand was still holding her ankle, and quickly let go, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you." ”

"It's okay, let's go." Liu Man'er stood up and patted the dust off her body.

Zhang Shiquan went to wake up the coachman, the coachman rubbed his eyes, saw that it was still dark, and asked, "Why did you leave so early?" ”

"What do you ask about this pickled, if you don't want to leave, stay here!" Zhang Shiquan was woken up by Liu Man'er, and he didn't dare to get angry with Liu Man'er, but he didn't have a good face for this coachman.

The coachman didn't dare to talk much in front of such a vicious figure as Zhang Shiquan, so he only stood up obediently, Liu Man'er and Shuai Shuai walked in front, and the two followed behind and walked outside together.

The three of them didn't know the way, so they could only go back along the original road, fortunately, when they got to the main road, the previous bandits had already returned to the cottage to repair, Zhang Shiquan had originally wanted to return to the cottage, but at this moment, he was a little shaken.

Liu Man'er saw him standing on the road, hesitating, so she pulled his clothes and said, "What's the matter?" Do you want to go back to that cottage? ”

"Nope." Zhang Shiquan shook his head and said, "Let's go, I'll go to the barracks with you." ”

"That's right." Liu Man'er nodded, and said with a straight face, "I will clean up this group of thieves sooner or later, even if I don't clean up, someone else will clean up, if you are inside, you will be unlucky sooner or later." "Hmm." Zhang Shiquan nodded, didn't say much, and walked forward in a muffled voice.

The moonlight faded, and a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and then slowly the golden glow in the east, and when I saw the city gate, the morning sun was already like gold, covering the earth.

"Finally in town." The coachman let out a sigh of relief.

"yes." Liu Man'er also had a smile on her face, after passing this city, the next city will be her destination.

The three of them came to the city, first of all, they found an inn to have a hot meal, after yesterday's day, the three of them were very embarrassed, Liu Man'er found a ready-to-wear store to buy a set of clothes, seeing that the coachman and Zhang Shiquan's clothes were in tatters, she also bought them a set.

Zhang Shiquan was a little embarrassed to let Liu Man'er pay the bill, and wanted to return the money to Liu Man'er, but Liu Man'er confiscated it, and she didn't lack this money anyway.

After that, the three of them bought some kettles and other necessities in the city, perhaps because they listened to Liu Man'er's words, this time Zhang Shiquan really bought a wine gourd and pinned it to his waist, but Liu Man'er died of laughter and mocked him all the way.

After finding an inn, taking a bath, and repairing it, Liu Man'er went on the road refreshing again, and after buying dry food, Liu Man'er took the two to the horse market, she promised to give the coachman a carriage, but she didn't forget.

Seeing that Liu Man'er really gave him a carriage and horse, the coachman couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after thanking Liu Man'er for his kindness, he happily pulled the carriage back, however, he hadn't taken two steps, but he turned back again, Liu Man'er saw this, quite puzzled, and asked: "Why are you back again?" ”

"I ......," the groom hesitated, but then said, "there are bandits on the road, how can I go back?" ”

"How do I know this?" Liu Man'er raised her eyebrows, her tone was a little displeased, she felt that she was not too good at talking, she hired him, and she also paid for the damage to his carriage and horses on the road, which made her responsible in the end?

"That's not what the villain meant." The groom didn't go around the bend anymore, and simply said: "That's the case, I want to ask the girl if you need a coachman for the next journey?" I can get you there. ”

"I need a driver, but I already have a free driver." Liu Man'er meant something.

"Feelings, you use me as a coachman?" Zhang Shiquan glared.

Liu Man'er didn't scare him, and said, "I promised you a bright future, what's wrong with you driving me off the horse?" ”

"Don't quarrel with the two of you." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the coachman hurriedly said: "After all, this Zhang Daxia has an injury on his hand, and you are in a hurry to get on the road, I wonder if you can do this, we will take turns, so that the day and night will not delay the woman's business." ”

"Hey, you've got a good idea." Liu Man'er just wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered that even if she went to the frontier, she wouldn't go back so quickly, so she said: "But even if you send me to the purpose, then how should you go back then?" ”

"This ......" the coachman couldn't say what was good for him.

Liu Man'er frowned and said, "Forget it, you still have to wait in this city, there will definitely be people who will go to Licheng at that time, and you will go back with them when the time comes." ”

"That's right, I just want to follow the heroine to see you." The coachman said with a shy face.

"You're not afraid of death?" Liu Man'er's brows furrowed even deeper.

"You, it's just a coachman, he took the initiative to give you a car, what are you talking about, just agree!" This Shiquan said on the side.

"I won't say yes." When Liu Man'er heard Zhang Shiquan's words, she seemed to be angry with him, but she refused directly, and she said to the coachman: "Didn't you say that you have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child?" In that case, you better go back to take care of your parents and children as soon as possible, and don't have to beat my idea. ”

Seeing that her words became more and more cold, and her eyes also carried a hint of indifferent inquiry, the coachman did not dare to say anything more, and drove the carriage away.

After he disappeared, Liu Man'er chose a comfortable carriage again, and chose a sturdy horse as her own car.

On the way, Zhang Shiquan asked her a little puzzled, "You girl is so strange, you can trust a vicious person like me, why don't you trust the coachman who is only promised?" ”

"Nothing to do is to be courteous or a thief, you don't know this sentence, right? You seem to have a little conscience, and you owe me my life, but I'm not afraid of your betrayal. Liu Man'er raised her lips and smiled mysteriously, and said:

"And although this coachman seems to be submissive, who knows if he will suddenly give me a yin on the road? I didn't meet any bandits along the way, but I just met him, and I suspected that he was in collusion with those bandits. ”

"What do you mean?" Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Zhang Shiquan suddenly understood, and his face became solemn, and said: "I once heard those thieves say that they leaked their mouths, and I heard that it seems that some coachmen will cooperate with them inside and outside, and deliberately take some merchants who come and go that way......

Speaking of this, Zhang Shiquan clenched his fists and said, "Since you know that he may be this kind of person, why do you still send him a carriage?" This guy is too hateful, you wait, I'll kill him and avenge you! ”

"Forget it." Liu Man'er stretched out her hand to stop Zhang Shiquan and said: "I'm not 100% sure, but I just heard that he wants to be a coachman for me so enthusiastically, I have a little doubt, if he does more injustice, he will kill himself, if he is really this kind of person, one day, he will die in his own cleverness." ”
