Chapter 86: The Old Bachelor and the Old Girl
Beside the wheels of a carriage, Han Xiaomei hugged her younger brother and wrapped her tattered coat.
It was late at night, the weather was really cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Now that she is going back to Han's house, she has both expectations and worries. The flood of that year took the lives of my father and mother, and I and my younger brother were exiled. Now, my younger brother has grown up and must have a stable home.
This time back, can the elders of the Han family return the property and real estate to themselves?
As soon as she thought of this, Han Xiaomei felt even colder. She couldn't help but hug her brother tightly.
At this moment, a dark shadow appeared in front of her, startling her and shrinking her body. At this time, she saw clearly that there was an extra person in front of her, and she was dressed as a coachman.
"Brother Coachman, are you okay?" asked Han Xiaomei boldly. Since the great flood, Han Xiaomei has taken her younger brother to a lot of places, met many people, and is not small, and even dares to work hard.
Yun Yi looked at the girl and the little boy in her arms and frowned. Maybe they all experienced the great flood, and I couldn't help but feel a trace of resonance in my heart. At first, he heard someone shivering, but he was just curious, but now, he was moved by compassion.
Han Xiaomei is not beautiful, she has an average appearance. Come to think of it, it is not peaceful for a beautiful woman to walk in the world. That is, Han Xiaomei was able to spend seven or eight years safely. She looked to be in her twenties, and if she hadn't been married, she would have been an old girl, and she would hardly have gotten married.
The little boy also looks like he is in his teens, and at first glance he looks like Han Xiaomei's child.
Yun Yi didn't reply, took out a piece of animal skin, and covered Han Xiaomei's body. Then, walked away.
Han Xiaomei looked at Yun Yi's back, didn't speak, slowly got up, and wrapped her younger brother in animal skin.
Seeing that Yun Yi had come back so soon, the man who was patrolling the night asked curiously, "Didn't it happen?"
Yun Yi shook his head.
The man thought for a while and said, "The black light is blind, and she can't see your appearance clearly, so you really have to take your time in this matter." However, she is an old girl, and her brother can't run away with snacks. ”
Yun Yi smiled, returned to the wheel, wrapped another animal skin, and squinted and pretended to sleep.
The night passed in a hurry. The crowd had breakfast and set out on their way.
After traveling more than 30 miles, the sun came out, and it seemed that today's weather could not be wrong. While on the way, Han Xiaomei pulled her younger brother to the side of Yunyi's carriage and walked forward with the carriage.
Han Xiaomei hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother Coachman, thank you, this is for you." As he spoke, he handed over the hide.
Yun Yi looked sideways, picked the corners of his mouth, and pretended to be honest and said: "Girl, keep it, this little guy is so cute, is it your brother?"
Han Xiaomei nodded: "This is Han Peng." "Yun Yi said not much, but Han Xiaomei has figured out a fact, this coachman's eldest brother has inquired about his own affairs, otherwise he will not ask his younger brother, but will say that he is a son.
Han Xiaomei and Han Peng's age is indeed like a mother and son. In the year of the big flood, Han Xiaomei was fourteen, and Han Peng was also two years old.
Yun Yi jumped off the wheel and nodded to Han Peng: "Little guy, let me sit for you?"
Han Peng is ten years old, and he has been wandering around with his sister all these years, and he is clever. He looked at the eldest sister, then at Yun Yi, and shook his head: "You look too old." ”
Yun Yi and Han Xiaomei both understood. Yun Yi couldn't help laughing, and Han Xiaomei blushed. This stinky boy talks nonsense.
"Brother coachman, let you sit on it, what nonsense are you talking?" Han Xiaomei said as she glared at her younger brother.
Han Peng shrank his neck and hurriedly climbed onto the wheel. He's really scared of this sister. From childhood to adulthood, Han Xiaomei has been both an elder sister and a mother, so it's no wonder that he is not afraid.
And what Han Peng said is true, Yun Yi does look a little old now, at least not like a young man in his early twenties. This is not a disguise, but a trace of time.
In the Passing Years Realm, he has spent nearly a hundred years, although it has only been three years in the outside world, but his appearance still shows the appearance of being in his thirties after all.
Yun Yi did not sit in the carriage again, but walked with the carriage. With Han Peng's playfulness, Yun Yi and their sister and brother gradually became familiar with each other, and they could say a lot of things.
"The girl has been away for a few years, and she hasn't allowed her in-laws?" Yun Yi asked the key point.
Han Xiaomei didn't care, shook her head, and said, "I can't eat all day, how can I have the heart to think about this." Besides, I'm also a foreigner, so I don't know if I'll have to go back to my hometown. How old are Big Brother's children?"
This question has deep implications. It's not about getting married, it's about children. The child's situation speaks for itself.
Yun Yi pretended to be embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "I'm just a chauffeur, and I haven't saved a lot of money." It's not too young anymore, how can a girl look at it. ”
Han Xiaomei lowered her head in contemplation. After a moment, he looked up at Yun Yi's appearance again and lowered his head again.
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Han Peng interjected: "Eldest sister, when we return to the Han family, there should be a large piece of land, can we ask Brother Yun to farm for us?"
Yun Yi has already introduced himself, just saying the pseudonym, Yun Jiu. The name matches his current status.
Han Xiaomei looked at Yun Yi and didn't want to answer. Now she is not familiar with Yun Jiu, and there are some things that she can't say yet.
Yun Yi relieved her: "Han Peng, have you ever gone to a private school, can you read poetry, tell us about it?"
As soon as he said this, Han Peng became interested and began to recite poems.
The caravan traveled until noon, and then stopped again to rest. Yun Yi pretended to be an old bachelor again, specially asked for half a bowl of meat for the man, and ran to Han Xiaomei's side to offer courtesy.
The caravan's coachmen and vendors made jokes. Yun Yi didn't care, and honestly bowed his hand to everyone. Han Xiaomei blushed, but Han Peng didn't care about eating it.
After dinner, the caravan continued on its way. This time, Yun Yi also let Han Xiaomei sit in the car, and he walked on foot.
This time, from Hongyan City to Qingyuan River, although it is only two thousand miles, the speed of the carriage cannot be fast at all. One hundred and eighty miles a day is already very good.
Therefore, Yun Yi wants to stay with Han Xiaomei for one or twenty days. During this time, it is basically the test period. If there is no accident, he may really marry into the Han family.
When Yun Yi thought about it, he felt very interesting.
Another day passed, and there was no danger. This is what everyone likes to see the most.
But at dinner in the evening, some vendors started talking.
"If you go for another day or two, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in peace. In front of it is the Five Lotus Peak, a mountain that spreads. There are many mountain bandits there, one nest after another. ”
"Let's pay some money to buy the road, that's it, there's no need to be nervous. ”
"I'm not nervous. These mountain bandits watch people go. Small traders and hawkers, they will not deliberately be embarrassed, and they will also ask for money to buy roads. The big caravan is not welcome, either the price is sky-high, or the goods are one or two percent, it is too difficult. ”
"Then let's separate the convoy and go one by one, and we shouldn't be blamed. ”
The old trader shook his head: "Mountain bandits are not stupid. They all have eyeliner in Red Rock City, and they use red doves to send messages. As soon as we got out of Red Rock City, they had already figured it out. ”
"Then what should I do? I heard that there are five groups of mountain bandits in Wulian Peak, and each of them is strong and strong, and their strength is not bad. If you really send money to deliver the goods, you won't make much money this time. ”
The old trader looked around and said in a low voice, "There is a real master in our caravan, and it is said that it is a high-level martial artist. The head of the dart master is just a pretense. ”
"And this?" the crowd looked around, trying to find the hidden master. Yun Yi was also interested, and looked around. But the real masters, how can you see it at a glance.
"Look, you can't find it. As long as the cottages of Wulian Peak come according to the rules, his old man will not make a move. The old vendor said.
When everyone heard this, they all understood. It seems that this is the routine of a large caravan. Hide your master in the caravan and deal a fatal blow to the bandits.
Yun Yi couldn't help but look forward to that scene. Maybe when the time comes, you can really touch your own state of mind, and enter the realm of existence from destruction in one fell swoop.
