Chapter 140: The Return Journey (1)
Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while, his face returned to normal, and said with a smile: "No problem, Luo Da Darthead, or I have little experience, I haven't noticed this, I didn't expect my brother to come here to bring us such a big trouble, so let's do it, Xiaohua will live with me, and in other aspects, I will immediately notify the gentleman of the team, let him make a record, and when I turn back to the dart game, how about I settle accounts with the dart board?"
Luo Darttou smiled: "That's very good. Deputy Dart, don't go to your heart, these details are what we leaders should pay attention to at all times, otherwise it is not a good thing to let others point fingers, or sue the dart game, I am also right about things and not people, and please don't mind. ”
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "You are doing this for my good, how can I blame it? If there is such a situation in the future, please remind Luo Da Dart as soon as possible." Okay, if there is nothing else to do, the subordinates will quit and go out. ”
Luo Darttou smiled and waved his hand: "No, I don't have to worry about your work, you have worked hard all the way, I will definitely ask you for credit in front of Fourth Master Wen when I turn around." ”
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Luo Da Dart is hard, I'm just playing the side drum." ”
After speaking, Zhang Xiaohu walked out of the hall in a hurry.
Na Luo Da Dart looked at Zhang Xiaohu's back, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Xiaohu walked to the courtyard, first called everyone, told everyone the news of preparing to return to Pingyang City, and asked everyone to prepare in advance.
Zhang Xiaohu waited for everyone to cheer for a while, and then stopped the gentleman who accompanied the team, and told him in front of everyone that he asked him to record in detail all the food and accommodation of his younger brother Zhang Xiaohua from today to the time when he returned to the Lotus Dart Bureau in Pingyang City.
The gentleman was stunned for a moment and asked, "Zhang Tou'er, what is this doing?"
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "My brother came to our team unexpectedly, which is bound to increase the pressure on our costs, his food, drink, and accommodation will occupy the money of the brothers in the dart game. ”
The gentleman was puzzled and said, "He's just a child, what can it cost?" ”
The people around him were also puzzled, and Yuan Changqing shouted even louder: "Don't, Zhang Tou'er, Zhang Xiaohua is not only your younger brother, but now he is also our younger brother, what is it if he eats and drinks a little here? Why is it so clearly divided? It seems that our brothers are all divided." ”
Zhang Xiaohu listened, smiled at everyone, and didn't say much, just let the gentleman who accompanied the team have a good life record.
The yard is not big, Zhang Xiaohua is in the hut, and she can hear it clearly, and when Zhang Xiaohu enters the house, she quickly grabbed him and asked nervously: "Second brother, what's the matter?
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and pinched his little face, and said, "It's nothing, isn't it just to give them some food expenses? Not to mention that the little money you got yesterday is more than enough, don't you have any silver money subsidy when you go out of Huanxi Villa? Just give them away, why let others say it?"
"Oh~" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized and said, "It can't be that Luo Da Dart Tou who said it, why is he so serious?"
Zhang Xiaohu patted his little head and said lovingly: "You are still young, you will know when you are older." ”
Zhang Xiaohua nodded thoughtfully, this guy's brain is very bright now, although Zhang Xiaohu doesn't want to say more, but since he has already clicked it, how can he not have a little understanding?
It's a pity that I didn't really come here to do business, but I don't know if Huanxi Villa can give me a subsidy? If not, but I want to pick out a part of my harvest yesterday to give the Lotus Dart Bureau, I feel a little distressed when I think about it, and immediately, I hate that Luo Da Dart a lot.
Everyone in the courtyard was very surprised when they heard Zhang Xiaohu's words, and they all secretly pulled the gentleman who accompanied the team to ask carefully, but the gentleman didn't understand it very well, but once everyone scrutinized it, they knew the reason, and they all secretly scolded Luo Dadaotou for being narrow-minded, and at the same time, more people also gave Zhang Xiaohu a thumbs up, and these two leaders made judgments in the hearts of everyone.
In the next few days, it is very usual, Zhang Xiaohua is in this small courtyard, and if she doesn't go out for a step, the jokes will still make her own money, why go out and waste it?
In fact, the more reason is because Zhang Xiaohua has been alone all this time, and now it is easy to find the organization, I really don't want to go out again, and this ice and snow, where can I go?
Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua had just educated the ruffians here, to be honest, Zhang Xiaohu was really afraid that they would gather people to come and retaliate, so he told him again and again and did not let Zhang Xiaohua out of the courtyard.
And Zhang Xiaohua also likes this kind of life very much, in the morning, noon and at night when there is nothing to do, he practices boxing in the yard, anyway, there are many executioners and dart masters in the yard who also practice boxing, Zhang Xiaohua is not eye-catching, but Yu Lao's sword moves can not be practiced, Zhang Xiaohua's hands are itchy, and he can only play a little in the house.
What makes Zhang Xiaohua the most happy is that he actually found a few travelogues in the gentleman with the team, talking about the customs and customs of various places, Zhang Xiaohua saw that he was like a treasure, and he wanted to borrow it to take a closer look, and the gentleman himself did not read it, and he didn't want to borrow it, but when he saw Zhang Xiaohua's eager eyes, his heart was soft, so he only left one copy, and the rest borrowed Zhang Xiaohua, so Zhang Xiaohua lived a leisurely life of reading and writing when he was busy and practicing martial arts and boxing in his spare time.
Compared with Zhang Xiaohua's leisure, Zhang Xiaohu is busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he handles all the affairs of the dart team, and Luo Da Dart is purely a shopkeeper who shakes his hands, the dart team is pulled, negotiating with merchants and other things, naturally there are many fatalities, helpless, Zhang Xiaohu is not in the yard every day, and naturally even Zhang Xiaohua's face is not seen.
However, what makes Zhang Xiaohua envious is that Zhang Xiaohu has a different way of practicing martial arts from him, every night when he comes back, Zhang Xiaohu will meditate cross-legged, and occasionally play Liuhe Boxing, when Zhang Xiaohu practices internal skills, Zhang Xiaohua stays aside and does not dare to move, lest he disturb the second brother. And more often, Zhang Xiaohu waited for Zhang Xiaohua to fall asleep before exercising.
After being so busy for a few days, everyone in the dart team packed up their things neatly, and all the matters with the merchants were also negotiated.
It was a sunny day, and although the snow had not yet melted, the north wind was blowing and there was not much chill, making it a good day to travel.
At the door of the small courtyard, the dart team's things were full of four carts, and there were a lot of horses tied to the trees next to it, Zhang Xiaohua put the second brother's things on a carriage, and looked at the dart master and executioner standing next to the horses with admiration, he was so big, he hadn't really ridden a horse.
After a while, there were horses running from outside the alley, it was Zhang Xiaohu and others who took the merchant's convoy back, the merchant's carriage was more, and there were one or twenty dart teams, so the two teams were combined as a team, and with a little command, they were ready to go.
On weekdays, eating, drinking, and playing in a courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua did not feel that there were too many people, and only after this departure did she know that there were dozens of people in the dart team.
At present, it is a part of Zhang Xiaohu's executioners, moving forward to explore the way, most of the middle is Luo Da Dart Head and a group of dart masters under it, protecting the merchants and their carriages, goods, the middle of the carriage, are inserted a huge pennant, embroidered with the word "Lotus", behind the tail is Zhang Xiaohu and the rest of the executioners, except for the bookkeeper and a few handymen, the others are riding high-headed horses, waist hanging weapons, very majestic.
Although there are a lot of people and cars in the dart team, they are all well-trained, and they are not chaotic at all, and in a short time, they have already left the town and walked on the official road. Zhang Xiaohua initially thought that with so many cars and people, it would be very inconvenient to move, but the facts proved that the speed of this convoy was not much slower than Ou Yan's four carriages.
Although Zhang Xiaohua wanted to ride a horse by himself, he was still arranged to sit in a carriage with the gentleman and others in the account room. At the beginning, Zhang Xiaohu didn't have extra time to care about him, he only entrusted Yuan Changqing and others, looked at Zhang Xiaohua, and when he arrived at the main road, the convoy moved forward steadily, and then he took time to come to the front of the carriage, looked at Zhang Xiaohua with an unhappy look, and asked: "Xiaohua, this is all on the road, ready to go back to Pingyang City, why are you unhappy again?"
Zhang Xiaohua pouted and said: "Of course I'm happy to be able to meet Pingyang City, but I can't always ride in a carriage, I also want to ride a horse, I see that there are still some horses behind that no one rides, can you let me ride?"
"Haha," Zhang Xiaohu listened, laughed, and said: "So that's the case, Xiaohua, it's not that I won't let you ride, this horse riding is also jishu work, if you have never ridden before, you have to learn how to ride first." These horses in our dart board are used to running outside, the temperament is very strong, not suitable for you to ride to learn, and so on back to the dart game, find a docile horse, you learn first. ”
Zhang Xiaohua listened to it, and then realized that it turned out that riding a horse also has to be learned, and it is not something that anyone can walk on it. However, he still did not give up, and said, "Isn't the horse behind me looking very docile? ”
Zhang Xiaohu listened, and said with a straight face: "Xiaohua, don't be willful, this is a dart, how can you make a fool of yourself?" The horses in the back look docile, but it's different when riding, what's more, the horses in the back are kept for spare, if there is a problem with anyone's horse in front, they have to be used, and they can't be ridden blindly now." ”
Zhang Xiaohua listened, rolled her eyes helplessly, and stopped talking.
In fact, this person is also strange, just like Zhang Xiaohua, if he is a person, he does things and thinks like an adult, and even has to be meticulous and mature, but if there are relatives or elders around him, he will restore the innocence of a child, and really look like a teenager, perhaps, this is human inertia and dependence.
Since she can't ride a horse, Zhang Xiaohua is no longer entangled and looks at the scenery obediently.
The scenery here seems to be different from before, although the snow has not melted in winter, but in the fields and fields by the roadside, there are some green plants that survive tenaciously, and occasionally there are streams gurgling, no longer frozen, there are fun children, holding dogs, sprinkling joy on the snow, and leaving strings of plum blossoms in the white fields.
The speed of the carriage was very fast, the whistling cool breeze poured into the car, Zhang Xiaohua habitually covered the cotton clothes, this cotton clothes are the second brother Zhang Xiaohu's, his jacket has long been washed and put away, and it is difficult to change Zhang Xiaohu's sadness and want to cry, his younger brother is in the New Year, and he has not yet found new clothes to wear, and even the autumn jacket is still cut with a knife, he only hates that the time is short, and the store that makes cotton clothes is also closed, only to wear his own cotton clothes first, Zhang Xiaohua has repeatedly claimed that he is not cold, but where does Zhang Xiaohu believe it? It's just a force to force him to wear it, no, the clothes are a lot bigger, and the wind can get in.
The bookkeeper next to him saw it, also shrunk his neck, and asked, "Xiaohua, is it cold?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled: "No, Mr. Mo, it's not cold at all." ”
Mr. Mo smiled: "This is a sensible child, it doesn't matter, if it's cold, I still have a shawl here, of course, it's also very big, but it can also block the wind." ”
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless and said with a smile: "It's okay, although it's a little cold, I can still stand it, how can young people grow up fast without freezing?"
Sometimes it's strange, Zhang Xiaohua is obviously not cold, but as soon as he says it's not cold, others think that he said it because he didn't have well-fitting clothes, so he said so, and felt that he was very sensible, so he had to care about it, so Zhang Xiaohua also had a heart, I don't tell the truth, no, I said it half-truthfully.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the scenery for a while, and was a little tired, so she asked: "Mr. Mo, I want to ask you a question." ”
Mr. Mo said, "Okay, what problems have you encountered?"
Zhang Xiaohua said strangely: "Mr. Mo, I think the weather here and the scenery outside seem to be different from Pingyang City." I think at this time, Pingyang City should be frozen three feet, the cold wind is cold, the snow is very thick, and the leaves are all gone, where is it like here, although there is a lot of snow, but it feels a lot too cold, the wind is mild, look at there there are still some green things, still growing. ”
Mr. Mo smiled and said: "You are right, Zhang Xiaohua, the climate here is indeed different from that of Pingyang City, the climate here is very mild, and the surroundings are very humid, making you feel that Pingyang City is not cold." ”
Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Why is that?"
Mr. Mo said: "It's very simple, because this is in the southeast of Pingyang City, and it is close to the sea. ”
"Sea, ouch. When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she screamed unconsciously and said, "I forgot, I haven't seen the sea when I came here!"
Zhang Xiaohua patted the back of her head regretfully, how could she not think of looking at the sea when she was bored a few days before leaving? The book says that the sea is endless, the sea and sky are the same, and the scenery is very magnificent.
Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's annoyed look, Mr. Mo smiled and said: "It's okay, I didn't see it this time, you can see it next time, this town is just a small bay near the sea, and you can't see too far, the sea is magnificent or can't be good to taste, if you have the opportunity, take a boat to the sea, then it's enjoyable." ”
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly, it can only be like this.
Then, he asked, "Then you can tell me that this weather is so related to the sea?"
Mr. Mo said: "This town is close to the sea, the climate is naturally very humid, and the water in the sea will not freeze, it can affect the surrounding climate, and this place is closer to the south than Pingyang City, so you feel that it is much warmer than Pingyang City." ”
Zhang Xiaohua listened, nodded as if she didn't understand, and then asked again: "Then Mr. Mo, if you keep going south, won't it be warmer?"
Mr. Mo smiled: "Yes, it is said that in the southernmost part, it is also a sea, where it is very hot all year round, and I have never seen snowflakes." ”
"Ahh Zhang Xiaohua exclaimed for a while and said, "In that case, where the children can't build snowmen and have snowball fights, it's really pitiful." ”
Mr. Mo said: "That's true, but they also have their fun, which you don't have, and further north, the far north, it is said that it is also the sea, frozen all year round, and there are big ice blocks higher than the mountains, and the people there live in houses that are made of ice." ”
"Ahh Zhang Xiaohua was shocked again, and said: "The ice is frozen all year round, so they don't even have the fun of bathing in the stream, it's really pitiful." ”
Mr. Mo said: "Actually, there are many wonderful places in this shijie, but we don't know about it, if we can travel all over the continent one day, it would be great." ”
As he spoke, countless little stars flashed in Mr. Mo's eyes.
Zhang Xiaohua said strangely: "Then why doesn't Mr. Mo go out for a walk? Although you can't swim all over Shijie, it's okay to swim in a corner first?"
Mr. Mo said helplessly: "There are too many unknown things in this shijie, the shijie outside is too dangerous, I don't have the power to protect myself at all, can I talk about traveling there?" It is estimated that he has not been out of Pingyang City for two days, and he will be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains. ”
Zhang Xiaohua listened to it, and also felt the same way, people in this world must do what they can to do anything, and if they have no self-protection power but they have to travel by themselves, they will naturally be the food in the mouth of the beast.
The two chatted for a while, Mr. Mo seemed to be a little sleepy because he got up too early, squinted his eyes and dozed off, Zhang Xiaohua stopped talking, found the travelogues from the baggage, took one casually, and read it with relish.
Even though I can't go in person, it's good to read a book and enjoy it.
The time passed away in such a hurry, the dart team did not stop to eat at noon, Zhang Xiaohu patted the horse over, handed Zhang Xiaohua and others some dry food, everyone ate casually, and then hurried.
