Chapter 13: Shocking Horses
When the four of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, the coachman was jumping to the foot and scolding the street.
"Lao Zhang, who provoked you, so angry?" One of the guards asked curiously.
The coachman pointed to the carriage, and his face turned black into the bottom of the pot: "I don't know which one killed a thousand knives, and stole the door curtain while I was napping!" β
The two guards looked closely, and sure enough, the entrance to the carriage was empty, and there was no trace of the door curtain.
"Why is there still someone stealing the door curtain?" A guard with a look of disbelief.
Another guard suddenly clapped his hands: "I know, it must have been the monkey who did it!" β
The coachman hurriedly asked what was going on, and the guard gritted his teeth and told him about the monkey being mischievous, snatching the pomelo hairpin, and splashing water on his face.
The coachman looked murderous: "Damn brute, you should pick your skin and knock your brain!" β
Xin Yu said sorry to the monkey in her heart.
It was too much for the monkey to bear.
Xiaolian understood how the carriage curtain came from at this time, and looked at Xin Yu's eyes and couldn't help but show admiration.
Xin Yu thought that Xiaolian thought that the reason why she was capable might have to add a curtain that would steal the car door, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she silently looked away.
"Cousin, get in the car, it's afternoon, it's been too long." The coachman urged.
Xin Yu nodded slightly and got into the carriage, and asked Xiaolian to bring the pastries in the carriage to the coachman and the two guards to eat.
"If you miss a meal, the three of you will eat a few pastries to fill your stomach."
The little girl who poked her head out of the carriage had a white face and was beautiful and pleasing, and one of the guards was hot and blurted out, "Sister Xiaolian doesn't eat it?" β
Xiaolian reluctantly bent the corners of her lips: "The girl didn't find Yu Pei and was in a bad mood, and the girl and I were not hungry." Eat quickly, and hurry away with your food in good condition. β
"Thank you, Miss Cousin and Sister Xiaolian."
The two guards stuffed the pastries in two bites and praised the delicious snacks.
The coachman was older, and he felt that this soft and sweet pastry was more palatable. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the master and servant sitting in the carriage.
Perceiving the coachman's sight, Xin Yu asked, "Is there something wrong with Uncle Zhang?" β
"No, the old servant is afraid that there is no curtain to cover it, and the cousin is not used to it."
Xin Yu smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's more comfortable to have no door curtain to cover such a day." β
"Then sit tight." The coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage went from slow to fast on the official road.
When the carriage really started, the wind was strong, and it poured straight into the carriage, which was refreshing in this hot weather, but it also blew the hair and clothes of the people in the carriage to fly.
There are a lot of pedestrians and horses on the road, and when they pass by, they are all curious to take a look into the carriage, even if they can't hear the discussion of these people, they can see the meaning from their faces: what kind of people, they all go out in the carriage, and they are reluctant to hang even a curtain on the door.
The two guards were thick-skinned people, and they couldn't bear it, so they approached the coachman and urged him to hurry up.
The people in the carriage were indifferent to the stares.
Xiaolian is sad that Kou Qingqing's death can't care about anything else, and Xin Yu is more physically uncomfortable in addition to sympathizing with Kou Qingqing's death.
Restraining such a skeleton doesn't mean that she has the courage to do it, at least she can't eat dinner today, and it is unknown whether she can return to normal tomorrow.
Xin Yu used all her strength to resist the faint smell lingering around her body, but fortunately, there was enough ventilation without the curtain, which made her feel more comfortable.
The wind seems to be stronger.
Xiaolian's exclamation sounded: "Girl! β
The carriage began to gallop, completely ignoring the oncoming pedestrians, and rushed over.
Exclamations and screams rang out along the road, and the coachman, when he saw an ox cart approaching from the opposite side, hurriedly loosened his grip on the reins, and rolled down from the carriage.
"Girl, the horse is shocked!" Xiaolian's body shook in the carriage, and she was so frightened that her face was pale.
Staring closely at the ox cart that was getting closer and closer, Xin Yu quickly made a judgment in his heart: with the speed of the carriage at this time, it was too risky to take Xiaolian to jump out of the car.
Then you have to-
As soon as Xin Yu made a decision, he saw a figure jump up and jump from a galloping horse to the back of a startled horse.
Although the frightened horse was on a rampage, fortunately it was pulling the manned carriage, and the speed was not exaggerated. The man clamped his legs around the horse's belly, tugged the reins, narrowly avoided the oncoming ox cart and rushed over.
Xin Yu grabbed Xiaolian's hand and comforted the other party: "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine." β
It may be that everything Xin Yu does these days is so reliable for Xiaolian, hearing this calm voice, Xiaolian suddenly quieted down.
The two of them held hands, silently staring at the strange back on the back of the startled horse, and I don't know how long it took to suddenly hear a shout from the front: "Hold on!" β
Then the carriage slammed out for a distance, swaying violently but slowing down. Finally, as the startled horse crashed to the ground, the wheels made a screeching sound, and the carriage stopped.
Xiaolian didn't hold on to it and almost flew out, but fortunately she was pulled by Xin Yu, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Are you all right?" The man who jumped off the horse before he fell to the ground walked over.
Xin Yu looked over.
The man is dressed in a red robe, his skin is as white as jade, his eyebrows are like feathers, and he outlines the most brilliant ink paintings on the best white porcelain embryos.
Xin Yu grew to the age of sixteen, and he had never seen such a good-looking man.
She pulled Xiaolian out of the carriage and bent her knees slightly at the man in Zhuyi: "Thank you for the righteous man who came to the rescue, we are fine." β
"That's good." The man in Zhu Yi looked at the horse that fell to the ground, "The situation is urgent and I have to hurt the horse's life, I wonder if the girl is in trouble?" β
The startled horse lay motionless in a pool of blood, the dagger stabbed into its neck glistening in the sun.
But as long as you are a normal person, it is impossible to say that although you saved me, you have to compensate for my horse, and Xinyu is naturally no exception.
"Fortunately, thanks to the righteous warriors who killed the frightened horse in time, we were not injured, and innocent passers-by were not harmed. I don't know what to call the righteous man, but when I return home to report to my elders, I can come to thank me. β
"You don't have to say thank you, but it's a gesture." The man in Zhu Yi gently refused.
A shout came from behind him: "Cousin, cousinβ"
Xin Yu looked at the two guards who were chasing after him, and suddenly thought of what his mother joked when she finished telling a certain story: Those who should be responsible for protection are always late.
"Cousin, are you alright?" The two guards turned over and dismounted, asking nervously.
"It's fine. This righteous man saved me and Xiaolian. β
The two guards hurriedly clasped their fists: "Thank you for saving our cousin." β
"You're welcome." The man in the red shirt bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the horse that he had followed without the master's control.
"I don't know the name of the righteous man, where is your mansion-" As the man in Zhu Yi turned around, the guard who shouted suddenly paused, and his face changed.
The man in Zhu Yi looked faint and took the reins.
Seeing the man in Zhu Yi turn over and get on his horse, Xin Yu shouted: "Righteous man, please stay." β
