32 The official road is in a state of horror

Who knew that the old man Qingzhu ignored Xie Yixiang this time, and continued to talk on his own, saying: "Now it has become the carriage of the two elder brothers leading the way in front, our car follows behind them, and the black carriage naturally falls behind...... When we got into a new fog again, the two brothers in front of us, although inexperienced, had spent the night in this snowy weather, gradually getting used to it, and could grope forward very slowly on their own...... My father was dizzy from exhaustion all night and hungry, so he had the strength to compete with them, so he had to let our car follow them slowly, who ......knows?"

Xie Yixiang immediately interjected and said, "Who knows that it didn't take long for the black carriage behind to catch up again, and instead overtook you, yes or no?" The old man Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "How do you know?"

Xie Yixiang sneered in his heart, his face was still respectful, and said: "The younger generation is just reasoning from common sense, just ask the black carriage since it dares to drive alone in the fog, it means that the driver's craftsmanship is extremely high, even above the father of the senior; Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After a pause, she continued: "So when there is no fog, you can move faster than it, and even overtake it easily, but once in the fog, as your speed slows down, the black carriage will naturally seem faster, and of course it will overtake your carriage again. ”

The old man Qingzhu nodded again and again when he heard this, and praised loudly: "You girl, you really deserve to be Xie Fengxuan's daughter, although she is young, she is very smart...... As you might expect, the black carriage caught up in the fog, still at the same speed that was neither fast nor slow, first overtaking ours, and then overtaking the carriage of the brothers in front of it...... In this way, the two elder brothers had a target to follow, and of course they were overjoyed, and hurriedly whipped their horses and hastened to follow behind the black carriage. When the fog was over, the two brothers hurried forward and threw the black carriage behind once more. ”

Seeing that this old man Qingzhu was determined to tell this past story thoroughly, Xie Yixiang simply followed his wishes, and immediately came in and preached for him: "So seniors, you took advantage of the fog to leave the black carriage behind, and once you re-entered the fog, you waited for the black carriage to overtake the front, so as to lead the way, yes or no? Seniors, you think that you can be fast and worry-free, but in fact, it is a big mistake. Because you are as fast and slow as you are, and the process is always the same as the black carriage from beginning to end, and it is not faster than it at all, it is better to follow the black carriage honestly than to chase each other and wait for each other, but to try to be safe. ”

The old man couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pat it on his thigh, and said, "Yes, that's exactly the case...... It's a pity that we didn't understand this truth at the time, and it wasn't until you chased me back and forth with the black carriage that we realized this truth...... So after that we were honest, and kept following the black carriage, not trying to get ahead of him, but ......"

Speaking of this, the old man Qingzhu suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Xie Yixiang, and asked with a smile: "Girl, can you guess what I'm going to say this time?" Seeing that Xie Yixiang shook his head, he took a few puffs of dry tobacco and said in a deep voice: "...... However, it didn't take long for us to discover a terrible problem. ”

Xie Yixiang knew very well that although this old man Qingzhu was very verbose, he was the number one master in the world of martial arts on the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes, and there was his own mystery in his words. Now that it's easy to hear him talk about the key points of the story, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but think about the whole thing before and after, and said tentatively: "The road is closed by heavy snow in Changbai Mountain, and it is a dense fog and cold night full of snow, and the black carriage is just rushing down overnight, but it deliberately slows down and moves forward slowly, I am afraid that there must be something strange in it." Could it be that you followed that car for a long time, and finally realized that something was wrong with that car?"

The old man Qingzhu shook his head again and again, and said, "Don't worry, girl, don't worry...... The young man was always impatient, and before he could speak of the black carriage, and of the two elder brothers' carriages which had already preceded us, and were following the black carriage...... So in the thick fog, where can my father and I still see that black carriage? What a terrible problem we have discovered? I am afraid to frighten you girl by saying it...... That is when my father suddenly remembered that we had set off at the end of the day, and although we couldn't count the hours in the snow and fog, we had walked for six or seven hours, one hundred and eighty miles, but when we looked at it, in addition to the thick fog and fog, it was still dark all around, and the sky was not even bright. ”

Although Xie Yixiang was not "frightened", she also raised her interest, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that you are a little worried because you are in a hurry on a snowy night in the seniors, and it has only been two or three hours, but you feel that a long time has passed, and this is the wrong time?"

The old man Qingzhu shook his head again and said, "I also said the same thing to my father at the time, although my father agreed with my statement, but I saw an unprecedented fear in his eyes...... After all, my father has been in the leather business on this official road for decades, and he has never seen any mess of things? I think about it afterwards, the reason why he didn't tell me at the time was because he was afraid of scaring me......

Speaking of this, there happened to be a gust of night wind blowing, startling the grass and trees in the four fields, Xie Yixiang suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly calmed down. The old man of Qingzhu said slowly: "...... We marched for a long time, and this time I counted the hour silently with hunger, and after nearly an hour, there was still no sign of brightness...... And the fear in my father's eyes became heavier and heavier, and his hands began to tremble a little, and his mouth kept muttering to me, 'Sanwa...... Wrong...... It's not ...... right,' I was furious by what he said, and kept asking, 'Daddy...... What's wrong?' the father shouted with a loud cry, 'Stop!'"

"I was taken aback by my father's call, it was obvious that my father was driving the car, and it was up to him to control whether to stop or not, how could he call 'stop'? After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt terrified, could it be that I had encountered some legendary mountain spirit basilisk secretly making a monster and not let him stop the carriage? I quickly asked, 'Dad, what's wrong with you?' but he didn't answer, the fear in his eyes had spread to his whole face, and after a while, my father shouted again: 'Stop...... Stop me!'"

When Xie Yixiang heard this, he couldn't help blurting out: "He's telling your two brothers to stop!" The old man Qingzhu immediately said in a deep voice: "That's right!" He couldn't help but glance at Xie Yixiang again, and said meaningfully: "Girl, you are right, the carriage of the two brothers was originally following us, and then after several chases with the black carriage...... It had become a black carriage in front, the carriage of the two brothers in the middle, and finally our carriage...... And my father's shouts were telling the two older brothers in front of him to stop......"

Saying that, the old man Qingzhu couldn't help showing a look of pain on his face, and he couldn't help but choke up a little, Xie Yixiang didn't want to urge him, so he had to wait quietly. After a long time, the old man Qingzhu let out a long sigh and said, "Since then, I haven't set foot in Changbai Mountain again, because I'm afraid of it...... Alas, until now, I don't know what that black carriage was...... As for my father, he had always been well-informed, and had decades of experience in running goods, and when he recalled the fear in his eyes at the time, he probably knew something about the black carriage...... Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to ask him anymore. ”

Xie Yixiang was stunned when she heard this, and then understood that the old man Qingzhu was already a little incoherent, and immediately asked: "Senior, you haven't told me yet, what happened at that time......" As she spoke, she saw that the old man Qingzhu was a little confused, and reminded again: "The senior just said that your father told the two brothers in front of him to stop, and after that, what happened?"

The old man Qingzhu seemed to be relieved from his grief, and took a deep breath of the dry smoke in his hand. With the smoke he exhaled, he said slowly, "After that...... And then something happened!"
