8. Jingxiang Ancient Road
On the Jingxiang Ancient Road, it has been the traffic artery of the Central Plains from south to north since ancient times, and in sunny weather, there is naturally an endless stream of pedestrians and merchants.
It's noon, and the weather is starting to get hot.
On top of a donkey cart, Du Yiyi, who had a little beads of sweat on his face, was sitting in front of the donkey cart and beating the donkey with a whip, behind him was Wang Daochang, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and Zhu Sanmei, who was sleeping soundly leaning on the donkey cart.
Suddenly, Du did not forget to pause the whip in his hand, turned his head and said to the two people in the car:
"Dao Chief, we have also walked a lot, I feel that the donkey is about to lose its breath, let's find a place to rest and then hurry, I see that there is a restaurant not far away. ”
Closed his eyes, the Taoist opened his eyes at this time, and said to him:
"Okay, you just decide, you've been driving all night, and you're tired without resting."
At this time, Zhu Sanmei in the car also woke up and said:
"Restaurant, how can there be a restaurant, I'm so hungry, last night there was too little hedgehog meat to eat, I really want to eat roast chicken, and roast pig's trotters, I also want to eat steamed silver carp, boiled river crab ......"
"You think it's so good, what can you eat in the small restaurant, it's good to have roast pig's trotters and roast chicken, let's eat it slowly when you get to Xiangyang City", before he finished speaking, he was pushed back by Du Yi.
A few people got off the donkey cart before they arrived at the inn, Du did not forget to carry Zhu Sanmei who had broken his feet, the three of them found a seat by the roadside table and sat down, Du did not forget to help Zhu Sanmei sit down, and then pulled the donkey to the side of the sink to drink water.
At this time, a young man in white riding a slender neck and a slender brown horse also came to the door of the restaurant.
Zhu Sanmei immediately shouted excitedly when she saw it:
"Second brother, you're finally here, I thought I could see you in Xiangyang City."
The young man in white was Zhu Er, Zhu Er got off the horse and walked straight over and sat on the stool next to the third sister, and the brown horse he was riding actually went to the sink to drink water by himself.
I just didn't forget to splash water on the donkey to wash the dust, and saw a brown horse coming to drink, I thought the horse was very good-looking, and wanted to stroke it twice, but I didn't expect the horse to kick it with the horse's hooves, but fortunately I didn't forget to hide fast, and I didn't get kicked. I didn't forget to ignore it when I saw that Ma was too fierce, and when I returned to the inn, I found that Zhu Er had also arrived. Then he told everyone that he had almost been kicked by a horse when he saw a horse just now.
Seeing this, Zhu Er smiled and said to him:
"That horse is the mount of the younger brother, native to the Western Regions, a famous sweaty and bloody horse, with long capillary legs, no lack of lightness, fast speed, running a hundred miles will not be tired, it was given to me by a friend."
Don't forget to say with a face full of surprise:
"Wow, this is the legendary bloody BMW, I finally saw it, can Zhu Ergongzi lend me a ride after eating wine and food."
Zhu Er immediately replied:
"Okay, no problem".
Zhu Er then said:
"But this horse has a little recognition, I'm afraid that my brother will not forget that it is difficult to control, and I will watch from the sidelines when my brother tries to ride."
Don't forget to wait for Zhu Er to finish speaking, and immediately said happily:
"Okay, I didn't expect Zhu Ergongzi to be so arrogant, I have made up my mind for your brother, wait until we try the horse and go to the handle."
Zhu Er also patted the seat at this time and said:
"No problem, don't forget my brother, I appreciate you when I meet you, and it's an honor to be a brother with you, I'm very happy today" After speaking, he poured a glass of wine and drank it.
The Taoist chief on the side looked at the two of them with a somewhat intriguing look, as if they were pondering something. Zhu Sanmei, seeing that her brother agreed to marry Du Bucheng as a brother, was naturally elated.
At this time, the innkeeper served roast pig's trotters and roast chicken, and several people began to eat, especially Zhu Sanmei, who felt like a wolf, but fortunately she was still dressed as a scholar, and her coat was still wearing the one she didn't forget last night, and she was still a man in the eyes of outsiders. Zhu Er occasionally counted him down two sentences, but he was used to it and didn't pay attention to it.
A few people also took advantage of the meal time to talk about what they had just experienced. Zhu Er took the opportunity to tell the Taoist that Jiang Bin was not far away, but he was just going to visit the palace, and Zhang Hamu was already on the way to catch up with a few people.
Du Bu Bu thought in his heart that he was still wise and wise, let's hurry at night, otherwise we don't know what the result will be now, and it is estimated that we will not have any rest today.
After eating, Zhu Er led the brown horse to the open space with Don't forget, and then stood aside, letting Don't forget to try the horse alone.
Du did not forget to pick up the horsewhip with one hand, and pull the saddle with the other, because the horse was too high, he did not climb up several times, and he was so anxious that the horsewhip was lost, and he pulled the saddle up with both hands, and finally he couldn't climb up because the horse's body was too slippery. Seeing this, Zhu Er came over to help and didn't forget, but he didn't forget to love face and didn't want Zhu Er to help, so he climbed up alone. Zhu Er looked for an opportunity to push it and didn't forget to take the opportunity to finally climb up. Then Zhu Er smiled and said:
"You climbed up on your own, I didn't help you."
I didn't forget that I knew in my heart that it was Zhu Er who helped him, Zhu Er also gave himself face, and the horsewhip was still on the ground and he couldn't pick it up, so he said:
"Second son Zhu, my horsewhip fell to the ground, can you pick it up for me."
Zhu Er picked up the horsewhip and handed it to Bu Bu, and then said to Bu Bu Bu:
"Be careful, the horse recognizes the master, I'm by the side, he will be honest, you don't ride far, you can't see me, he won't listen to the call."
Du did not forget to sit on horseback and said with confidence:
"Second Master Zhu, it's okay, don't you also have the experience of riding him for the first time, I believe I can too, you don't have to worry about me."
After speaking, he waved his whip and rode a sweaty BMW to the avenue. Began to wave the whip, the horse ran fast, walked for a few miles or so, the horse actually did not go, did not forget to continue to wave the whip at the horse, the horse seemed to start to get angry, directly began to circle in circles, Du did not forget where on the horse's back can stand, was turned by the horse, can only hug the horse's neck, the horse turned around and back on the road wildly, Du did not forget to be frightened can only hug the horse's neck, lying on the horse, eyes dare not open.
After a while, the horse stopped, and only one voice was heard:
"Don't forget your brother, it's okay."
I didn't dare to open my eyes until I was half-ringing, and when I saw that I had returned to the restaurant, Zhu Ergongzi was stroking the horse's head in front of the horse.
I didn't forget to quickly turn around and jump off the horse, and said to Zhu Ergongzi in shock:
"This horse is really good, next time I won't ride him again". After speaking, he hurried back to the restaurant, sat back next to the Taoist, and sighed all the time. Zhu Er tied his horse and returned to the restaurant.
At this time, Zhu Er began to worship Du Buyi on the table, Dao Chang and Zhu Sanmei watched from the side, and Dao Chang's eyes were still as intriguing as just now.
I just heard Du not forget to say first:
"I don't forget this year's 17 years old, Luohan Temple town riverside villagers, no father and no mother at home, today Zhu Ergongzi appreciated, originally and Zhu Ergongzi became opposite-sex brothers, although this life can not be born together, but in the future, there will be hardships and hardships together, willing to die with Zhu Ergongzi, if this matter is violated, it will be thundered by the sky, and it will not be a good death." After speaking, he picked up a bowl on the table and poured it directly.
Zhu Er also received immediately:
"I Zhu Er, Huguang Anlu people, the second in the family, but because of the early death of my father and eldest brother, only one sister, 15 years old this year, a few days fortunate to meet not forget the brother, admire its heroic courage, chivalrous demeanor, willing to not forget the brother as a brother of the opposite sex, although can not live together, may he share the wealth and wealth, there is a common difficulty, if this matter is violated, it will be thundered by the sky, and there will be no reincarnation forever." After speaking, he also picked up a large bowl of wine and drank it in one sip.
At this time, I was not surprised to:
"I didn't expect that the second brother you are only 15 years old, you are so mature and stable, not at all like this age."
Zhu Er immediately returned:
"My younger brother has been very strict with my family since I was a child, especially my mother is very strict with me, and I must not make any mistakes, otherwise I will be punished, but my mother also did her best to love and raise me, otherwise I would not be like this."
"I really envy the second brother, what a good family and mother you have, one day I must visit my aunt to see what kind of aunt can teach such an excellent second brother", the third sister was about to speak when she was interrupted by not forgetting this sentence.
Zhu Er came again:
"When the time comes, I will definitely welcome the eldest brother to my house as a guest, and I am honored to be the second brother."
Then he said to a few people:
"It's time for everyone to hit the road, and then delay the back Zhang Hamu to catch up. ”
At this time, a middle-aged man in blue brought 3 horses over, and it turned out that Zhu Er had already prepared the horses. A few people got on their horses and continued to Xiangyang City along the Jingxiang Ancient Road.
