Chapter 80: Fellow Scholars
Su Xiaomu's interest tonight was extremely high, and it was almost midnight when he returned to the inn to rest.
They washed up and fell asleep, and the next day they couldn't get up, so they paid for a coachman and told him to take them to the city.
The carriage staggered forward.
The coachman told them that there was a small road to Fucheng in this town, which would be a day's faster than the usual official road, and the only drawback was that there were bandits and personal safety was not guaranteed.
"If the son and the lady don't mind, we can take that path.
But old man, I have to talk about it, and the road is really unstable, and nine out of ten people will have an accident there.
However, the son and the lady can also rest assured that the bandit generally only robs money and does not hurt people's lives. ”
The coachman Zhao who was driving the car patted his chest and said the last sentence,
Su Xiaomu silently hugged her money bag in the carriage, and then shook her head at Gu Jingcheng without hesitation.
He really didn't know what to say for a moment after seeing the look on her face.
I'm afraid that according to her temperament, what she is worried about is not her life, but that she is afraid that all the money on her body will be robbed by bandits, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Jingcheng couldn't help laughing, and then told the coachman that they were going to take the official road.
"It's just going to take an extra day, and you can live in this carriage?"
He saw that she was wearing a black green that had not rested well, and handed her the soft pillow next to him.
"You'll have to sit for a long time, and if you're really tired, you'll sleep a little longer."
"No need, I shouldn't be able to sleep at night when I sleep now, one more day, one more day, there are post stations along the official roads on the left and right......"
She couldn't help but yawn, and then quickly widened her eyes to lift her spirits.
Seeing her insistence like this, Gu Jingcheng didn't say anything, he picked up the pen and paper on his body and started the article silently.
The carriage swayed, and every word he wrote was extremely difficult, but it was precisely because of this that he could be made more aware of the hard-won nature of reading.
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely good, and Su Xiaomu rested his head on the window and fell asleep.
She dreamed one after another, and just as she dreamed that her mouth was about to crack while she was holding the gold, the carriage was suddenly stopped, and she slammed her head directly on the wood!
"My ...... Damn......"
She instantly sobered up and rubbed her head and got up, and when she lifted the curtain, she wanted to lose her temper.
But before they could open their mouths, they saw a man and a woman standing in front of their carriage, both covered in blood, and their faces pale as if they had been greatly frightened.
Gu Jingcheng also came over to look out with him at this time, and immediately pulled Su Xiaomu out of the car after seeing such a scene.
Before they could ask the man and woman in front of them, the man immediately spoke.
"I wonder if Childe can do us a favor? I went to the post station in front to help invite the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, and my brother and sister just met the bandits on the trail......"
"The bandit has just been chasing us, and although my brother and I are running fast, I guess they will catch up soon."
The girl looked young, but she was much calmer than her brother, and she explained the crisis in a few words.
Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng didn't delay time when they found out, and immediately invited them to get in the car and rush to the post station together.
Zhao Chefu said that there was a post station not far ahead, and it used to take only half an hour to work here.
So they hurried to find the officers and soldiers of the post station, and after explaining the situation of the trail to them, they continued to the city.
The siblings sat in their carriage for the time being, and when they got to the next town, they bought a new one.
While the four of them were talking, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng also learned their identities from the brothers and sisters by the way.
"It turns out that Brother Lin is also a candidate who went to Fucheng to take the exam, that's a coincidence, and Humble Jing and I are also going to Fucheng to take the exam."
When meeting fellow travelers, although Gu Jingcheng has always been cold, he is a little more popular than before.
"It will take half a day to get from here to the next town, and before sunset, Brother Lin and Miss Lin were a little wronged in my carriage."
"What does Brother Gu mean by this? How can it be called a grievance at this moment?
If it weren't for Brother Gu and Sister-in-law who were willing to rescue us just now, my sister and I still don't know what would happen at this time? It's me and my sister who want to thank Brother Gu, if Brother Gu and sister-in-law don't dislike it, and I will be the east when we get to the town later, please have a good meal, and thank Brother Gu and sister-in-law for saving their lives. ”
Lin Hai and Gu Jingcheng are very familiar with each other, and there is no embarrassment of meeting someone for the first time.
Such a self-acquaintance made Su Xiaomu, who was sitting next to him without saying a word, really envious.
But...... This Miss Lin and her brother are like two people.
She has been sitting quietly in the back of the car since she got in the car without speaking, like a social phobia.
But if you say she's socially phobic, it's not quite like that.
After all, her eyes had been staring at Gu Jingcheng tightly, and her cheeks were flushed from time to time, and her eyes were full of affection.
That look is not like looking at the savior, but like looking at the lover.
Such a gaze, she had just seen it from the eyes of the Zhao family girl a day ago.
"It's really a bee and butterflies, not long after I left the house, I was looked down upon by so many people."
Su Xiaomu looked at her and felt amused.
It's just that she is really bored, so she opens the curtain to blow the wind and look at the scenery outside.
Although Gu Jingcheng was talking to Lin Hai, Yu Guang had also been paying attention to her movements.
Seeing her like this, he moved his body to her side for a few minutes, and pulled the curtain of the car to shield the wind outside.
"The wind is strong, and I get the wind chill carefully."
"The sun is so poisonous, and the wind blowing outside is hot, how can you get the wind cold? It's about the same as the heat. ”
Su Xiaomu sat up straight, "You and Lin Gongzi continue to discuss the article, don't worry about what I do." ”
And the Lin family brothers and sisters are in the same car with them at the moment, and he can't ask, so he has to say patiently.
"Then so as not to get the heat of the summer, it's always bad to get sick when you're away from home these days, haven't you always liked trouble?"
"Okay, then you give me the book, it's okay to read the book, and I can kill time."
It is better to read a book than to look at the eyes of others who adore him.
It's sour.
Gu Jingcheng saw her like this, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he took out a miscellaneous notebook from the bookcase and gave it to her, Lin Hai saw him and his wife like this next to him, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Gu is talented, and sister-in-law can also read and write, it's really amazing." ”
"Brother Lin has an overreputation, but what she learned from Clumsy Jing was learned by her at home in the past, and it really has nothing to do with me, let's continue to talk about the article, and don't disturb them to do their own things."
Gu Jingcheng didn't like Lin Hai talking to him about Su Xiaomu, he frowned slightly, and told him to turn his attention to the article they just said.
During the two days on the road, Gu Jingcheng had been chatting with Lin Hai very happily, and he was very satisfied with the friends he had made halfway through.
If the only shortcoming is his sister, the eyes that looked at him all the way were extremely hot, making him cold and disgusted at the same time.
Of course, it also made him a little dissatisfied with Su Xiaomu.
