Chapter 32: Strange Boy
The weather is nice today, the air is fresh and the sun is warm.
Two sturdy jujube horses pulled an elegant-looking carriage and walked unhurriedly on the forest path.
Outside the carriage, the coachman hummed a pleasant tune while swinging his whip.
Inside the car, bursts of joyful laughter were heard from time to time.
"Miss, pinch me."
"Huh? What nonsense is the silly girl talking about? β
"Miss, I feel like I'm in a dream right now, and you pinch me to make me believe that this is reality."
"Okay."
Feng Shuwan stretched out her hand and pinched Xiaoyu's round little face, "Are you sure this is the reality?" β
"Hmm...... Believed, believed. Xiao Yu replied indistinctly.
Feng Shuwan let go of her hand with a smile and turned her head to look at Wei Zhuang opposite.
Wei Zhuang has been talking less since he got into the carriage, and he spends most of his time looking out the window, not knowing whether he is thinking or letting go.
"Zhuang?" Feng Shuwan called him softly.
Wei Zhuang came back to his senses when he heard this title, and joked with a smile: "This title sounds much more intimate. β
Feng Shuwan's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, and she glanced at him as if complaining.
This time he went out to be a private visit to Weifu, and Wei Zhuang didn't want to be recognized, so naturally his real name couldn't be shouted.
So Wei Zhuang proposed to let Feng Shuwan call "Zhuang" directly, which sounded kind and natural, recalling that in modern times, friends around him also called him like this.
"Did you tell me something?" Wei Zhuang asked her.
Feng Shuwan shook her head, "I just saw that you have been silent so I called you, do you have anything on your mind?" β
So she's worried about me.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhuang gently held Feng Shuwan's little hand and reassured her with a gentle smile.
As for the heart......
He does care about a few things.
For example, a month ago, Master Zhang said that he should get rid of the dead qi and leave the place of death quickly.
To be honest, most of the reasons why he arranged this trip were to go to the people for a good trip, but a small part of it was due to the influence of this Master Zhang.
Therefore, after Wei Zhuang got in the car, he would inevitably link his travel with his life and death.
Of course, he didn't have much hope for his ruined life, and according to his past experience, he might burp one day, he just hoped to enjoy more of the pleasure of being alive before that moment came.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhuang patted Feng Shuwan's hand and said, "I was just thinking about some inconsequential trivial matters just now, you don't have to worry about me, the only task we have come out this time is to have fun, how to have fun." β
Feng Shuwan nodded expectantly when she heard this.
At this time.
"Phewβ"
The coachman gave a quick command to stop the carriage, but fortunately the speed was not fast, and the three people in the carriage only shook slightly.
Then I heard the coachman curse: "Where is the beggar, lie on the avenue and die!" β
Wei Zhuang frowned and opened the small door of the carriage, and the coachman immediately showed a bright smile when he saw Wei Zhuang come out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Childe, I scared you."
Wei Zhuang waved his hand and asked, "What happened?" β
"Hey!" The coachman pointed to the road ahead, "A little beggar, walking staggeringly, just now fell in the middle of the road, and almost died under my carriage!" β
Wei Zhuang poked his head out to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a man in tattered clothes lying on the ground, motionless and not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
"Childe, go back to the car, let's go around and avoid some bad luck." Said the coachman.
Wei Zhuang glanced at him, then got out of the car.
As a new-style emperor with a high degree of education, there is no reason for his people not to be saved.
He walked over to the man, crouched down, and took a closer look.
Only then did I find that the person lying on his stomach was a teenager, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was still a little childish.
The boy had messy hair, his clothes were in tatters, and his exposed skin was dirty, so it would not be too much to say that he was a little beggar.
The only thing that was a little strange was that the boy had a small wooden box hanging from his back.
Wei Zhuang stretched out his finger and probed the young man's snort.
And breathing, people are still alive.
Wei Zhuang was thinking about how to save him, but he heard the young man's weak voice, "Steamed buns...... Water ......"
Good guy, I was faint from hunger.
"Coachman, bring some water and dry food."
The coachman reluctantly brought a water bag and a flatbread, and Wei Zhuang took the water bag and slowly poured the water between the young man's lips.
When the water touched the boy's lips, it was like rain on dry land, and the boy's lifeless face suddenly became a little more alive.
After a few seconds, he reacted, opened his mouth and slowly sucked, and after another minute, the boy went from sucking to greedy sucking.
After a while, the boy opened his eyes.
Wei Zhuang was afraid that he would choke, so he stopped filling the water, "Can you sit up, it's easy to choke while lying down and drinking water." β
As the words fell, the young man's body sat up like a spring, and a pair of eyes stared at the water bag and flatbread in Wei Zhuang's hand.
The corners of Wei Zhuang's mouth twitched, "Water for you to drink, do you know how to break this flatbread into small pieces and eat it?" β
The boy didn't speak, just nodded frantically.
However, after he took the water and flatbread, Wei Zhuang's words were forgotten by him. The boy took a bite of most of the bread, then craned his neck to pour the water from the water bag into his mouth.
Sure enough, the young man immediately choked, and just as Wei Zhuang wanted to save him, he gave himself two punches in the chest and swallowed hard against his purple face......
Then, I swallowed it.
Wei Zhuang was dumbfounded, for the first time he used horror to describe a person eating.
In broad daylight, you can't meet a starving ghost, right?
The coachman was also amazed, gave a thumbs up and said: "Good guy, I have seen this way of eating in my life!" β
The coachman asked, "Who are you?" β
The boy didn't speak, but was intently nibbling on the flatbread.
"Hey, this can't be a dumb person, right?" The coachman looked at Wei Zhuang and asked, "Childe, do you see what we are going to ......do next?"
Wei Zhuang frowned and looked at the gobbling boy.
It seems that the boy is indeed a mute, and there may be some problems with his head, so it is really dangerous to leave him in this wilderness, and it is possible that he will be taken away by wolves.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhuang straightened his teeth, "Alas, take him with you, at least settle him in the town, and it will be safer." β
"This ......," the coachman looked at the dirty boy, a little reluctant.
Wei Zhuang casually threw out a little silver tael, "Help him into the car." β
"Gotcha!" The coachman happily agreed.
He lowered his head and grabbed the young man's torn collar, and said happily: "Get in the car and eat again, gentlemen!" β
