It is said that Zhang Tianci and his brothers and sisters crossed Jinyun Mountain, came to Luocheng County, entered the county seat, and after looking for a place to live, they used some broken silver given by the bandit Zhang Li to eat and drink a plate in the restaurant, until a few people were swollen, and then they came out of the restaurant with satisfaction and walked on the street.

Luocheng County is a relatively large county seat in the west, compared with Tongyuan County, which has been in a state of war for a long time, it is more prosperous here, pedestrians come and go on the street, the river is endless, the large and small businesses on both sides of the street are very prosperous, and the shouts and shouts come and go, it is very lively.

Except for Zuo Dian from the capital, who has seen the prosperity of a big city, the others have never been to a large county with a large population, and they all looked around, seeing everything very fresh, and they were very surprised.

In front of a stall selling oil-paper umbrellas, Chixia was attracted by the colorful variety of refined oil-paper umbrellas and refused to leave, holding one in her left hand and one in her right hand, both of which she couldn't put down. Tianci came forward and paid a piece of broken silver to the stall owner, and Chixia happily picked up an umbrella and tied it with a red silk rope and carried it on her back. Just as they were leaving, the stall owner stopped them again and returned a large handful of copper coins.

Walked forward at the same time, a few people were attracted by a burst of applause, saw a group of people shouting in a circle, squeezed in to see, it turned out to be a monkey, the gong in his hand slammed violently, several monkeys lined up to turn over and fight, the action was very uniform, it was very good-looking.

The crowd was watching with great energy, and suddenly heard a commotion and screams in the distance. Zuo Dian, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd, looked back and shouted, "Not good!"

At the end of the street, a carriage rushed over, and the horse that pulled the cart galloped forward like crazy, and the driver of the car pulled the reins in a panic, and his face turned pale, and as the carriage knocked over a stall on the road, he turned the coachman from the car and fell under the car, and the horse ran wildly, so that the passers-by on the street were afraid to dodge in a hurry, and screamed again and again.

Tianci and Yoko also looked back to see this scene, seeing the carriage rushing towards the crowd here, the three of them hurriedly pushed the surrounding people to the side, the three of them were very strong, and pushed a wave of people to the side of the street, and some of them didn't know what was going on and were pushed to the ground, fell a dog gnawed mud, and screamed bitterly. Suddenly there was a vacancy on the street for the carriage to pass through.

But at this moment, a child came out of the crowd, a little girl of four or five years old, who suddenly ran into the middle of the street, and chased after a woman, probably the child's mother, who shouted "Niu'er" to come forward and catch the child. By this time the carriage had rushed closer, and a catastrophe was about to happen.

A figure flashed out and rushed towards the child, picking her up, but it was too late to avoid the crazy horse, the figure could only bend over and protect the child under him, this person was Chixia.

The horse roared towards Chixia with the sound of the wind, its front hooves already raised high and stomping towards the two people who were on the ground.

At this time, Tianci didn't have time to think about it, so he reached out and grabbed the wheel of the carriage that swept by, and at the same time, Zuo Dian also stretched out his hand and grabbed the tail of the car. The crazy wheel, after being braked by a sudden external force, grinded a deep mark on the ground, and then with a loud "bang", the wheel jumped out of the body, and Tianci was also knocked to the ground by a huge force, and rolled twice before it stabilized, but his right arm was already dislocated, hanging down weakly, and his palm was also bloody.

The horse, which was rushing forward, was pulled by the carriage that suddenly braked, and its hooves flew into the air, and it tumbled sideways, and slid out of the ground for a long distance before stopping, and took Chixia and the little girl to the ground and rolled a few times.

The carriage flew out with the wheels, and then it slanted to the ground and slammed into a locust tree on the side of the road before stopping.

At this moment, Chixia turned over and stood up from the ground, she put the child in her arms on the ground, and when she saw the child crying and pounced on her mother unharmed, everyone around her screamed loudly.

After a while, a coachman in his forties ran over, and when he saw that the carriage had not hurt anyone, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly apologized to everyone: "Offended, offended, shocked everyone, and please bear with me! This horse was on the front street, and was startled by the cannonball set off by the children, and he went crazy for a while, and he couldn't pull it, but fortunately he didn't hurt anyone, which is really lucky." ”

Because Tianci and Zuo Dian shot quickly just now, no one saw it, and no one could imagine who could stop the galloping carriage with their bare hands in an instant, so everyone thought that the carriage had overturned by itself, and they were all rejoicing. Only the old coachman was distressed when he saw the broken carriage and the broken leg and the struggling horse, and shook his head again and again, and squatted on the ground and wept.

Everyone stepped forward to comfort for a while, and the coachman stopped sobbing, wiped out a handful of tears, and said: "In order to beg for food, a few days ago, I took out half of my life savings to buy this car. ”

After wiping the blood off his palm, Tianci turned his body violently and put the dislocated right arm back into place. He came to the coachman, looked at the carriage that had been overturned on the ground, and said to the coachman, "Brother, this carriage should be repaired, right?"

"The car can be repaired, but the horse is already useless. The coachman sighed and said.

"It doesn't matter, brother, are you willing to sell us this cart, we have our own horses, we can pull it. Tianci said as he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to the coachman.

The coachman hesitated to take the silver ticket and look at it, and was astonished, and hurriedly said, "So much silver?! This is unacceptable, and I have no money to make up for you." ”

"You don't need to make it up, you just need to take this car to repair it, and then put on two sets of dragon sets, and send it to the Welcome Inn early tomorrow morning." ”

When the coachman heard this, he was very grateful and grateful, "The little one is not talented, and I am really grateful for the help of Engong so much." Don't worry, I will take good care of this car, and send it to the inn on time tomorrow morning to hand it over to you. ”

Early the next morning, sure enough, the coachman pulled a big car and parked at the door of the inn, the body was painted bright and dazzling with vermilion paint, there was a circle of red silk around the roof, and a curtain of light blue crepe curtain blocked the front of the car, and the car was bright and tidy, with a long cabinet in the middle, two rows of chairs on both sides, covered with cotton cushions, and arranged comfortably and generously. Tianci several people were very happy when they saw it, and they applauded one after another.

The coachman pointed to the long cabinet in the middle and said, "Here are some dry food, fruits and other food, which can be enjoyed by a few masters on the road." ”

"That's a waste of money. God thanked him.

"Where, where, in addition to all these expenses, the owner of the car shop gave me a set of chariots and a horse, and finally made up for me ten taels of silver. "After that, take out the silver taels that you brought with you and hand them over to heaven.

"The old brother is polite, he has already given it to you, how can there be any reason to take it back again, you can accept it, and the right to pay for hard work. After the two of them excused themselves, the coachman had no choice but to accept the silver taels, and thanked them again.

The coachman loaded all the luggage packed by everyone into the car, and put the two horses on the car, and after inviting everyone to get into the car, he personally drove the group outside the county seat.

Along the way, he kept teaching Yoko the skills and methods of driving, and when he saw that Yoko was almost complete, he handed over the reins to Yoko, and got out of the car to wave goodbye to everyone.

Yangzi waved his horsewhip violently, and at the same time shouted loudly and drove the horse forward, and in the car, Tianci, Chixia, Zuo Dian, Ye Chengshi and others laughed all the way, and continued to drive in the direction of the capital.
