Chapter Fifty-Six: On the Road
A person walks slowly on the road, feeling the breath of the roadside scenery, and from time to time can meet some passers-by, there are kind-hearted people to say hello to him, give a few snacks, and more well-wishers think that he is a lost child to send him home.
Feeling the kindness of people's hearts, the already calm heart is warmer, no, I met a kind-hearted person again.
"Little boy, why are you leading a horse on the road alone! Where's your family! A passing carriage suddenly stopped beside Wang Xiaohu, and a young woman poked her head out, looked at Wang Xiaohu and asked in a concerned tone.
Looking at the other party's concerned eyes, Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Thank you sister for your concern, I'm fine, I just came out alone to relax, and I will go back soon", after speaking, he led the horse and continued to walk forward.
"Hey, little boy, don't go!" At the same time, urge the coachman to follow.
Looking at the carriage that came up to go together, Wang Xiaohu shook his head helplessly and said:
"I'm walking alone, it's really fine, and my sister doesn't look at me as just a child, but I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child! Usually there is no problem with dealing with a few big men, so my sister can go first and go about her own business! It's not good to delay! ”
"Hehe, you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, and you are not too old now! You're still young, I don't know how unsafe the road is, if it was before, it is estimated that there were bandits, bandits and the like who specially robbed children like you and sold them to some rich and noble families! ”
Hearing the other party's words, Wang Xiaohu was also a little surprised, and then asked:
"Ahh Is there such a thing? I didn't know it before! But why buy a kid like me! I know how to get home, and when my family knows, won't they be finished? ”
"So! You're still young, if you are locked up for a few years, you will definitely not remember your home, but Qinghe County has been relatively peaceful recently, and even some unscrupulous people dare not be blatant, so you can walk alone without anything! ”
"Why! I don't think anything has changed! Wang Xiaohu was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't feel any changes in Qinghe County.
"Your lord must not have told you, I heard my father-in-law say, recently, there is a leader surnamed Wang in the Four Seas Gang, I don't know what's going on, I went to suppress the bandits, and wiped out the three bandits in the county! The other thieves and bandits didn't dare to come out, so there were so many people on the road, and I took my daughter back to my parents' house today! After saying that, he glanced inside the carriage.
"Oh, I see, then sister, go quickly! Now I'm not going to be able to do anything by myself! ”
"Well, yes, if there's something you can do on horseback, but it won't be anything, there are so many people on the road! That sister went first! By the way, little boy, I don't know what your name is! My name is Wu Yunxia, and in the car is my daughter, Xiaoling! ”
After hearing the other party's inquiry, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "My name is Wang Xiaohu, and my sister can call me Xiaohu!" ”
"Okay, Xiaohu, my sister will go first! See you soon! At the same time, tell the driver to speed up and rush forward.
Looking at the carriage that slowly disappeared from sight, Wang Xiaohu still walked slowly in the direction of the county seat, not in a hurry, and felt that the whole person's heart was much more relaxed.
sighed: "Heh, sometimes the world is so peaceful and vast and far-reaching, every grass and tree has its own destiny and meaning of existence, as long as you live well!" ”。
Wang Xiaohu's footsteps have been extending forward, slowly walking into the distance, on the way to meet some of the same passers-by, but most of them are in a hurry, a few are pedestrians walking in the direction of the county, carrying goods to the city to sell, looking at Wang Xiaohu alone with him, probably to take care of him, Wang Xiaohu looked at the other party on the shoulders of a little burden, let the horse out to the other party to carry the goods, and then a few people walked towards the county seat together.
"Little Tiger! Why didn't your family go with you, you are not safe alone, you may have met a strong man cutting the path on the road before, but recently it has been a lot safer, so a few people in our village transported some vegetables grown in the field to the city for some silver! ”。
"Hehe, Uncle Zhao, I'm a martial arts practitioner, I'm not afraid! But why don't you go to town! The county seat is much farther than the town",
"Alas, we want to too, but the town can't afford to sell for money, so it's better to run more and make more money, and it's not in vain!"
After that, a few people are walking and chatting about homely things, so that time will pass very quickly and not be boring.
After waiting for more than an hour, Wang Xiaohu and Lao Zhao saw dozens of people riding horses galloping on the official road in front of them.
"There are horses in front, everyone come to the side of the road," after speaking, Lao Zhao walked to the side of the road, and at the same time pulled Wang Xiaohu and the horse to the side, waiting for the other party to pass.
Dozens of horses in front of them were getting closer and closer, and at the same time, I don't know why the speed was getting slower and slower, and when they got close to it, they had completely stopped, and Lao Zhao and the others were a little afraid to squeeze together, thinking that they had encountered a strongman who cut the path.
Seeing that these people stopped their horses, they immediately dismounted and walked in front of Wang Xiaohu, half-knelt on the ground, clasped their hands into fists and bowed their heads and bowed loudly: "See Lord Commander!" ”
Wang Xiaohu looked at the figures of Tian Wu and others kneeling on the ground in front of him, and said calmly: "Get up!" ”
Then he turned to look at the old Zhao next to him, and laughed: "Haha, Uncle Zhao, it seems that we are going to separate," After speaking, he unloaded the goods on the horse and put them on the ground, then rode up, and said loudly:
"Uncle Zhao, after you go to the city, if you have something to do, you can go to Ping'an Restaurant to find me, I will invite everyone to drink",
Then he hugged his fists and said: "The rivers and lakes are far away, see you soon!" Ride...", and rode away quickly.
After Wang Xiaohu walked for a while, Lao Zhao reacted and sighed:
"Obediently, I thought it was a doll, but I didn't expect it to be a big man! You don't see that when those people kneel on the ground, they scare me half to death."
"Haha, you think it's kneeling you! I don't look at myself..."
Several people who relaxed their bodies and minds laughed at each other and walked towards the county seat with their goods on their shoulders.
On the other side, Wang Xiaohu, who was riding on a horse, was listening to Tian Wu's report:
"My lord, after going back yesterday, my subordinates and Wang Jin have already solved all the things arranged by the adult, and the deputy helmsman has sent someone to find the adult, but I didn't say anything specifically, we saw that the adult did not come back, so we took the initiative to promise that today has passed! Please punish you."
Wang Xiaohu said calmly: "It's okay, I have something to find the deputy helmsman today."
"Yes, sir,".
"By the way, my lord, I heard that a strange incident broke out in Changhe County, a neighboring county, and it is quite serious, and I don't know what is going on! When the time comes, we may be transferred to our team to help! ”
Hearing the weirdness, Wang Xiaohu instantly smiled and said to Tian Wu: "I can't ask for it, there is no weirdness, where can I get the resources to improve myself!" ”
