Volume 1 The World Chapter 15 Night Terror (I)
The three of them walked along the official road in a carriage for a short time, and the sky was completely dark, and the surroundings were pitch black, but fortunately there was a trace of moonlight, which pointed out the direction to the lost lamb.
"Brother Zhang, it's too dark, if you continue to rush like this, it's easy to get into danger, let's wait until dawn tomorrow morning before leaving." ”
"Then stop and rest. ”
Tethering the horse to a tree, Zhang Haomin and Qian Chen thought about making a fire, which could not only light and keep warm, but also scare the snakes, insects, and beasts in the forest.
Zhang Haomin went to pick up a bunch of leaves and branches, but looking at this pile of things, he couldn't help but feel worried, although he knew that drilling wood could make fire, but he didn't know how to drill.
Fortunately, Qian Chen carried a fire box with him, and with a light blow, the leaves were lit, and he hurriedly added some branches, and the fire gradually became stronger.
With the fire, the heart finally settled down, the three of them sat around the fire, the rising flame, the roasting people were warm, the fire shone on their faces, and the people became hazy, as if they were in a dream.
Zhang Haomin's eyes began to blur, and some seemingly nonexistent pictures appeared in his mind, around the fire, several people talked happily and laughed, laughing without hesitation.
It was as if it was all close, yet far away, so far away that he couldn't hear what people were talking about, so far away that he couldn't see what these people looked like, only the feeling of ease familiar to him, as if there was something very important to him.
Unconsciously, Zhang Haomin shed tears, he didn't know why he came to this world, it was like he was having a ridiculous dream, but he didn't know how to wake up.
Everything here seems to be real, with the same scorching flames, the same cold evening breeze, the carefree person who has to recognize himself as the master and does not smile, and the well-behaved and lovely light rain and softness, as well as this self-cooked Qian Chen.
Zhang Haomin doesn't know which one is real, the world in his memory is just his imagination, or does it really exist? If it really exists, why don't his family and friends have any impression at all?
"Hey, Brother Zhang, what kind of god is Leng, come on, eat something first. ”
Qian Chen's shout instantly pulled Zhang Haomin out of his hesitation, and took the cake handed over by Qian Chen in a daze. I was really hungry, so I bit it viciously, and as I was chewing, I realized that something was wrong.
"Hey, why do you eat my jerky?"
"You're not eating my bread too. ”
"Can this jerky compare to a cake?"
"So, I'll give you a few more loaves?"
Zhang Haomin glanced at him angrily and said angrily.
"I know how to eat, and I don't know how to get one for me. ”
Qian Chen was very diligent in taking a piece of jerky for Zhang Haomin, and even handed it to Zhang Haomin with both hands, and then gritted his teeth and smiled.
"Where is Brother Zhang's house? Why don't you go out with a guard?" ”
Zhang Haomin glanced at him and handed the jerky in his hand to Qingyurou, who was very happy. Seeing this, Qian Chen hurriedly smiled at Qingyurou, and then handed Zhang Haomin a piece of jerky.
"Why are you asking about this?"
"No, it's not idle, just chat. ”
"My home is far away, and you don't know it. As for the guards, not really, but there was a friend who was with him who had done something wrong and was being punished. ”
If Xiaoyao hears it, he will definitely point at Zhang Haomin's nose and scold, why do I accept the punishment, but you are squandering and enjoying it here? Take off your clothes for me first!
Qian Chen was depressed for a while, even if he said that he didn't know, then you have to say it, it's better than hanging here now.
However, there is one thing he is more convinced of, when he goes out, he is accompanied by a maid, and he spends money lavishly, Zhang Haomin must be a rich child, and his background is not small.
"Then I don't know what Brother Zhang is going to Nanhe County for?"
"Send it, no, why do you keep asking about me?"
"Well, it's nothing, it's just chatter, just chatter. ”
Qian Chen was embarrassed and hurriedly stuffed a mouthful of cake into his mouth, and Zhang Haomin was very funny when he looked at it.
"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. Who are you?"
"I, I am, just an ordinary businessman, there's nothing to say. ”
"Then what are you doing in Wanping?"
"Sell goods. ”
"Where's the water?"
"Buy. ”
"What are you going to buy in the water?"
Although Qian Chen reacted quickly, he couldn't construct a complete story for a while, and he obviously couldn't react.
"Well, I don't know yet, I'll wait until I get to the water. ”
Zhang Haomin suddenly laughed, he is not a fool, how can he be so easy to deceive. A businessman who has traveled so far and is not sure what to buy? This is also a deception to a three- or four-year-old child.
"Then you'll need a wagon to pull the goods for you. ”
"yes. ”
Qian Chen responded directly without thinking about it, but as soon as the words came out, he began to regret in his heart, this guy didn't want to sell the carriage to himself.
"You see, this horse is a good horse, and the car is a good car, and you can also drive, so why don't you take it down from me?"
"Forget it, I'm just a small business, how can I afford such a valuable carriage and horse. ”
"Brother Qian, you estimate it, how much can this carriage sell for when the water is flooded?"
Zhang Haomin didn't really want to sell the carriage to Qian Chen, he just wanted to knock and knock to see how this guy's family was.
"What's the matter, you have to have five or six yellows. ”
"Then how about I sell you Sanhuang?"
To be honest, Qian Chen is really tempted, when they get to the water, he just needs to take some time to maintain the car, and then feed the horses well, I believe that with his three-inch tongue, he can sell it for seven or eight yellows, or even higher.
"Don't!"
"Hey, you're not a businessman, you don't make money, what kind of person are you?"
"You're a fool. Well, since you said so, three yellows will be three yellows. ”
Hearing Qian Chen's compromise and agreement, Zhang Haomin leaned back on the tree leisurely, looking at Qian Chen very playfully, he couldn't see it, this guy was quite rich.
"It's late, now it's yellow. ”
"Why is this still going up?"
"It was a big sale just now, but now it is handled at a low price with a conscience, and if it is later, it may have to add money. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I don't want to?"
"Do you like it or not, it's just a big deal to pay more money to hire a coachman. ”
Looking at Zhang Haomin's understatement, Qian Chenqi s toothache this deal is very cost-effective, and it is completely a net profit but he turned his mind and asked.
"Then why did you sell it to me?"
"If I don't sell it to you, then what's the use of me keeping this carriage?"
"Of course it's in a hurry. ”
"But I can't catch a car. ”
"You don't know how to drive, so you had to buy it in the first place?"
"I was going to hire someone, who knew you would catch a car, and I volunteered so much. ”
Qian Chen raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart, yes, why did he become this coachman so naturally in the first place?
"Well, you can hire another coachman in the water. ”
"Well, you're right, and that's a good suggestion. ”
"Then your carriage is not for sale?"
Zhang Haomin didn't pay any more attention to him, but turned his head to ask Qingyurou on the side.
"Girl, are you sleepy?"
Speaking of which, I didn't sleep long last night, and today Zhang Haomin squinted on the donkey cart for a while, but Qingyurou never closed her eyes, and now sitting by the fire, sleepiness is naturally coming.
"A little. ”
"Then go and sleep in the carriage, don't hold it up here, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”
Saying that, Zhang Haomin stood up, pulled up the light rain and soft, and the two walked to the carriage side by side, Qian Chen smacked his lips in the back, the rich young master is merry and happy.
"Childe, you. ”
Looking at Qingyurou like that, Zhang Haomin knew that this girl had started to think nonsense again.
"I'll cover it with a piece of clothing, or you can't bear to see me freezing outside?"
"Oh. ”
While Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, she was a little disappointed, got into the carriage alone, and handed Zhang Haomin a thick wool cloak.
The carriage was far away from the fire, and naturally it would be colder inside, but it would not be much colder. And it's better to be clean and safe in the carriage than to sleep outside.
Zhang Haomin hugged the thick cloak, returned to his original position, found a piece of clean wood as a pillow, and wrapped the cloak on his body and lay on the ground. And Qian Chen was still settling accounts there, not noticing that Zhang Haomin had returned.
"Sleep, don't forget it!"
Zhang Haomin's sudden words startled Qian Chen.
"Well, when did you come back? Didn't you go to the carriage? ”
Because Zhang Haomin was facing Qian Chen with his back to him, Qian Chen didn't know Zhang Haomin's reaction, but he didn't speak for a long time, so he asked in a low voice.
"Brother Zhang, are you still selling that carriage?"
"Four yellows and five oranges. ”
"Hey, don't, why is this going up again? Four yellows, no, four yellows and three oranges! ”
Seeing that Zhang Haomin didn't answer for a long time, Qian Chen was afraid that he would not agree, so he hurriedly said.
"If you don't speak, I'll just acquiesce to you, that's it, a manly man with no regrets!"
Zhang Haomin didn't bother to take care of him, he had already closed his eyes to sense the vitality, and said that he was still far away, so he had to work extra hard.
I don't know how long it was, but suddenly the neighing of the horse woke the three of them up at once.
"What's going on?"
The fire was still crackling, illuminating only a small area, and farther it was plunged into deep darkness, and a dark cloud was blown by a gust of wind, blocking the small amount of moonlight.
Now the surroundings became even more eerie, and the surrounding trees were fangs and claws, like monsters with bloody mouths, ready to drag the people in the light into the darkness at any time.
Qingyurou was so frightened that she ran down from the carriage, close behind Zhang Haomin, Qian Chen kept comforting the frightened horse, and was also looking at everything around her.
Suddenly, the three of them saw a pair of green eyes in the shadows.
