With the sound of squeaky wheels, the little marquis woke up in constant shaking, and in front of him was a dilapidated carriage full of sour smell, a blackened cushion that had been seated, and a shiny door axle that had been rubbed by opening and closing for a long time.

Slightly moved his sore body bones, pushed the carriage open, and the dazzling sunlight shone in for a moment.

The old man who was driving the car heard the sound behind him, turned around and grinned at the guest: "Are you awake?"

Jiang Baochan pinched his drowsy head and looked left and right.

Everywhere there were endless fields, and the donkey cart made its way along the narrow road, and the donkeys in front of it bared their teeth and grinned merrily.

The lean man was wearing loose clothes that didn't fit well, and he was holding half a piece of cake in his hand, and he smiled slightly, revealing half of his front teeth, and the other half of the fan didn't know when it was knocked.

Except that his hair is thicker, at a cursory glance, he is seven or eight points similar to Jian Wuzheng, who has been driving his car all year round. Looking at him and smiling innocently, somehow, Jiang Baochan suddenly calmed down.

Well, a slight nod of the finger is considered a response.

The old man wiped his rough palm on the wound of his clothes, and handed over the remaining mouthful of cold cakes: "If you don't dislike it, guest officer, try my wife's craftsmanship." ”

Looking at the broken tooth marks on the cake, and then looking at the hope on the old man's face, it is really not a stretch of hand, nor is it not a stretch. With a dizzy head, he could only try to think of a way to open the subject: "Uncle, where are we going?"

"Send you to Huaiyin City, the guest who sent you over said, you, I haven't slept for three days and three nights, let me not disturb you, just send you to Huaiyin City and find an inn to put down." The old man reached out into his arms and took out a few pieces of gray-black broken silver: "This is the silver tael given by the guest officer, since you are awake, I don't need to find a store for you to live in, the small one is deducted as the car money, and the rest will be returned to you." ”

Jiang Baochan took the broken silver that was still carrying body temperature: "What does the guest who sent me look like?"

As soon as the words came out, the old man suddenly became vigilant and clung to his chest: "Guest officer, this is not right, how can you worry about my hard-earned money?"

The little marquis really made a cry and laugh, as soon as he woke up, he was on a strange carriage, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was now, but he just asked what the guest looked like, how did it become his hard-earned money: "Where did the old man start with this?"

Even if the little marquis asked a kind and pleasant old man, he never relaxed his vigilance, but clenched his hands tighter: "The guest officer who sent you here told me, you made a bet with him, if I tell you anything about him, you can win ten taels of silver, if he loses, he will take away my car money, and you have walked sixty or seventy miles, I still have an old woman to support, you really can't worry about my hard money." ”

Looking at the poor old man, Jiang Baochan sighed: "I'll give you ten taels of silver, you tell me what he looks like and what he should do?"

As soon as he heard this, the old man smiled, revealing two rows of back molars: "Don't toss me, when you fell asleep, the guest officer asked me to change your clothes, you, you don't have a single copper." ”

As soon as he said this, Jiang Baochan noticed that he had changed into a set of clothes worn by ordinary scholars at some point, and the golden silk soft armor in it disappeared along with his moon-bearing treasure knife that had taken many hours to build.

Jiang Baochan was shocked, and his head suddenly came to his senses, the woman in red, the stumps all over the ground, the crowd of people running in all directions, and the smell of blood pouring into his nose. The smoke made him retch.

Seeing that the guest was about to vomit, the old man who was driving the car hurriedly drank the donkey: "If you get motion sickness, get down and take two steps to breathe!"

Bao Chan held back the sour water that had reached his throat, got out of the car and suddenly gasped for two breaths of fresh smell, and it was really much better.

The old man also got out of the car and moved his legs and feet slightly: "You scholars, your body and bones are not very good, you have nothing to do and move more, Lang Zhong in our village often says." After eating, walk a hundred steps and live to ninety-nine. It's not a problem that you fall asleep all day long."

Bao Toad nodded, took another deep breath of the air with the scent of rice ears, and got into the car.

The old man jumped into the car, patted the donkey's buttocks, the shriveled stupid donkey snorted twice, hummed reluctantly, and continued to gnaw on the ears of rice on the side of the road, the old man kicked the donkey's buttocks, and the donkey raised his head.

At night, the old man who drove the car took a nap with his neck crooked from time to time, and then woke up suddenly. The shriveled and bald donkey, which had lost a lot of hair, was still rushing forward unhurriedly.

The lights of Huaiyin City could be seen in front of him, and the old man turned his head and looked through the crack in the door. The scholar guest officer was hunched up and sleeping in the corner at the moment. It's a lot colder this day.

With days of tiredness and internal injuries on his body, Jiang Baochan shrank in the carriage and slept soundly.

A slightly cold night breeze blew in through the crack in the window, and in a trance, it seemed that someone was calling his name.

Jiang Baochan replied vaguely, he really couldn't remember who it was, he only felt that his head was like a stone, and his eyes were like lead.

I vaguely saw a white hand and stretched it out. Choked him by the throat. He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't.

Heaven and earth suddenly changed, and there was dark red blood all around, and black everywhere that could not be seen in the five fingers. Only a pair of different hands stretched out straight. As he got closer and closer, the bloody faces gradually emerged clearly.

Jiang Baochan woke up suddenly.

The old man who was in a hurry turned around, slightly sleepy: "Guest officer, Huaiyin City has arrived." ”
