Chapter 563: Hitchhiking
The characters in the carriage, although they do not have a face like a crown of jade, are really a weak scholar, or rather, a fortune teller, of course, they can also be court officials.
is just one person, but you can see many completely different identities from him, but this person is not a play.
This kind of character often only exists in the story of the book, and like the peerless swordsman, it is all to be encountered but not to be found.
Unfortunately, there is such a character in the world.
His name is Yuan Zhishan.
Shoufu has the world's rights, and in Chang'an, it is even more difficult for real big people with hands and eyes to the sky, ordinary people, etc., even if they want to see each other.
But Yuan Zhishan has been having a bad time recently.
He offended too many people, the war has stopped, and he has been harmed by many people who are really in power, even the emperor can't deal with so many people for a while, so he came from Chang'an, which went up to the heavens, to this ghost place where birds don't.
He didn't care about it originally, anyway, the focus of his work has been the renovation of Hanzhou, so he just took this opportunity to come here to inspect it himself. Came with some ambition, but now there is no longer any of the previous high spirit.
Not only that, but even his life was almost lost here.
With hundreds of iron armor on his side, there is no bandit who dares to provoke them without a long brain, and the real trouble is the epidemic brought by mosquitoes in the forest, and most of the dead people that can be seen everywhere on the street are also because of various epidemics.
Stayed for months.
Tribulations in many ways.
Fortunately, I waited for the edict, and now I think back to the way my colleagues said goodbye, no wonder they were so relaxed, it turned out that they wished I died here, fortunately, I was blessed with a great life, and when I went back, hum, I waited for me.
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt with a jolt, interrupting his thoughts.
"What's going on?"
At this time, the heavy oilcloth was lifted, and the wet and cold wind poured in, Yuan Zhishan suddenly shivered, was in a bad mood, and his brows were furrowed, but he also knew that these guards under him, if it was some trivial matter, would never come to trouble him.
The voice of the leader of the guards on the tall horse came in, and he was also extremely embarrassed at the moment, the red tassels above his head were soaked by the rain, and he was obscenely glued to the shiny iron helmet, and only said: "My lord, there is a person on the road ahead." ”
"There's a guy?"
Yuan Zhishan's voice was a little higher, and his eyes widened. Even in Hanzhou, it is not a big deal for a person to appear on the official road, and the road is built to give people a walk.
What shocked him was that these guards under him really bothered him for such trivial things.
The leader of the guards also seemed to see Yuan Zhishan's abnormality, and hurriedly said: "That's a ranger, it looks a little powerful, and I don't know if it's not a good person, and we don't dare to deal with it without permission." ”
"Oh?" Yuan Zhishan's eyes rolled, thinking that when he was not out of the ranks before, he knew some rangers on the rivers and lakes, but those people were really not qualified to let these brave guards stop.
And most importantly, I have never been to Hanzhou at all.
The guard on the side was drenched in the rain, but he held up a butter paper umbrella for him, he looked up at the umbrella, and listened to the thumping sound, like a dense drum beat, but he didn't know what kind of scene was about to be played.
The line was long, and he walked for a while before he came to the front, and raised his eyes to see the ranger of which the leader of the guard had spoken.
Really a ranger.
He was dressed in a black suit, with a hat on his head to protect him from the rain, and a long sword with a sheath in his left hand.
He also knew why that person could let his hundreds of people stop, and why he could make the head of the guard, who was not weak in martial arts, dare not move.
Because even if he doesn't know martial arts, he is five zhang away in the wind and rain, and seeing that person only glances at him is like seeing a sharp sword out of the sheath. He looked at it carefully, only to feel that the sharpness had pressed against his neck, making him dare not take a breath.
But after all, it was just one person, just standing quietly in the rain, and before he could say a word, his momentum had already overwhelmed the hundreds of people on his side.
"Long time no see, how are you lately?"
Listening to this voice, it was a little familiar, and then looked at the man's hand, there was nothing beautiful in the hand, but he was holding a sword in his hand, and the sword was not out of the sheath, and Yuan Zhishan had already recognized it.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you here and what are you stopping me for?"
He asked two questions in a row, but Li Wenshuo only answered one, and said, "Stopping you, I naturally want to take a ride." ”
A cold wind blew, Yuan Zhishan shivered again, he didn't want to stand in this cold wind for a moment, and said: "Then why are you still standing, get into the car, avoid the cold, avoid the cold." ”
He said it twice and gestured, but he was already running into the car with his arms in his hands.
The first time Li Wenshuo saw Yuan Zhishan's embarrassed appearance, he felt interesting, not like he met a big official from the capital, but like he met a friend in the rivers and lakes.
For the first time, this man made him feel like a friend.
Li Wenshuo quickly followed, lifted the oilcloth curtain and got in, as soon as he came in, Yuan Zhishan felt the difference, although his hat was still dripping with water, but the damp breath in the carriage was swept away in an instant.
An unimaginable vitality radiated in front of him.
Li Wenshuo took down the hat, let out a sigh of relief, and took out a roast chicken, a pot of sake, and two wine glasses from the baggage. looked at Yuan Zhishan, who was staring at him, and said with a smile: "I know that Old Yuan, you are not good at drinking, but this weather is cold, why not drink two sips to drive away the cold." ”
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zhishan had already snatched the wine pot and glass, poured a glass, and filled it into his stomach, it was not enough, and he drank three glasses in a row before he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Li Wenshuo who was surprised.
He smiled and said: "Happy, when we met in Chang'an before, you couldn't drink a few more glasses, but now you drink this monkey wine that is not low, but your face is not red and your heart is not beating, it is really a strange thing." ”
Yuan Zhishan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou can say less about this, read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, I came to Hanzhou, I was already frail, and the road was not peaceful, I encountered many disasters, if there was no wine, I am afraid that I would have lost my life a long time ago." ”
Li Wenshuo said: "It's really a miracle to save your life with wine, but now that you are still alive and well, then this glass of wine wishes you smooth sailing in the future." ”
Yuan Zhishan did it again, the two of them only made boring chats, talking about Hanzhou anecdotes in the east, and talking about the heroic style in the west, but it was not happy, unconsciously, the wine in the pot was exhausted, and the roast chicken also became fragmented chicken bones, and the two people who did not drink well were also drunk and unconscious.
By the time they woke up, it was the second day.
The rainstorm had stopped, the air was filled with the smell of earth, and the dizziness caused by the hangover invaded Yuan Zhishan's skull, making him want to vomit. When you drink, you are happy like a fairy, but after drinking, you are uncomfortable.
He didn't see Li Wenshuo.
shouted twice, only to find that Li Wenshuo had come to lie on the roof of the car, basking in the warm sun after the rain, and using the sun to eliminate the musty smell on his clothes. Even now, his sword was still in his hand, and he never left it for a moment.
According to the current footsteps, two more days, will leave the boundary of Hanzhou, although the trip spared some detours, but went straight to Zhongzhou.
Yuan Zhishan had already seen that he had something big, but he didn't ask. So he didn't say it, when the butcher broke through the realm that day, he felt it clearly, and he also knew his martial arts clearly.
So, he could see that he didn't have much chance of winning, but he was still on his way to the butcher, and he didn't think about any retreat. It's not about courage or dignity.
It's just because he doesn't think he will die, or even lose.
If you think about it, this kind of thinking is really an extremely unreasonable thing.
