Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Good Wine Caravan
Hou Xiaofeng ran wildly all the way, and did not dare to stop until dawn, because it was dark and he didn't know the way, he didn't know where to run at this time, but he knew that he was probably heading south. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hou Xiaofeng wanted to find someone to ask what boundary this was, but the people around him were inaccessible, and it didn't seem to be a village or town, so he could only rely on the rising sun to discern the direction and continue to walk south.
Hou Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped, took off his clothes and turned it inside and out, only to find that Lan Xin didn't know when he lost the bag he gave him, that bag Hou Xiaofeng had only seen it once, in addition to writing the location of the Secret Valley of Providence, there was also a line of small characters written below, but Hou Xiaofeng didn't read it carefully at that time, and he couldn't remember it at all.
Hou Xiaofeng let out a long sigh, I really don't know what else can make me more sad at this time, if there is something important written in that small letter, it is very likely that no one will be found even if he arrives at the place.
Hou Xiaofeng was lost, his steps were slow, and his tiredness struck, and he really wanted to find a place to lie down and sleep beautifully, but there was no place to settle around, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard the sound of someone shouting.
Hou Xiaofeng followed the sound and saw a team of carriages and horses from a distance, and when Hou Xiaofeng walked closer, he found that there were more than ten carriages, and one of the carriages seemed to be stuck in a gutter, and there were several people around the carriage lifting up around the carriage, and the shouting voice was what these people shouted to work hard for.
"One, two, three, up", these people shouted the trumpet and tried their best, but the carriage seemed to be loaded with a lot of things, and it was quite difficult to lift it, and one of the people in charge of the command seemed to have discovered Hou Xiaofeng and shouted at him: "Brother, come and do a favor." ”
Hou Xiaofeng walked over in response, and only when he got closer did he find that a person's figure was a little familiar, and when he looked closely, it was actually hemp, and the person next to him was short because of his short stature, Hou Xiaofeng only found out that it was Ermazi after seeing it.
Hou Xiaofeng didn't expect to meet the two of them here, and said in surprise: "Hemp, why are you Ermazi?"
Hemp Zi had already squatted down and was about to lift the car, Hou Xiaofeng asked, stood up and looked at Hou Xiaofeng, and said with a confused face: "You, who are you, how do you know Ma Zi Er Mazi?"
Er Mazi scolded: "Dead pig's head, isn't this just a little incense locked up and let him be the one who runs the hall!"
Hemp Zi nodded again and again, and said to Hou Xiaofeng: "Oh, oh, a little incense also let you come over to deliver wine." ”
The second poach thief glanced at Hou Xiaofeng, and scolded: "Pig head, if a little incense had arranged for him to follow, he would have come with us a long time ago, I think, eighty percent of them ran out, well, no, they escaped." ”
Hemp Zi smirked: "Ermazi, don't you mean to run and escape?"
Er Mazi hurriedly said: "Dead fat, stupid pig head, it's different, it's different!" Er Mazi didn't seem to feel any difference after he said it, so he didn't speak.
Hemp Zi was not angry when he was scolded, and asked stupidly: "Er Mazi, should we catch him and send him back to a little incense." ”
When Hou Xiaofeng heard this, he was about to argue, but he saw a person walking from the front of the convoy, that person looked young and handsome, with a smile on his face, and he looked like a prodigal boy, but with a few gourds pinned to his waist, it didn't match his dress.
The man walked over and asked, "Hemp, Ermazi, what are you making a lot of, why haven't you lifted the car up for so long?"
The man had already walked in front of everyone as he spoke, and glanced at Hou Xiaofeng with a natural look in his eyes, but he didn't ask much, patted the chest of the hemp with his hand and laughed: "Hemp, you are bigger than the girls here, can't you even lift a car?"
Hemp Zi scratched his head and didn't understand what the man was saying, and the people next to him were already laughing, and Hemp Zi saw that the gang was laughing happily and smirked.
Er Mazi didn't laugh, and asked the man who had just come over: "Jiukoji, what is in this car, so heavy?" Why don't you move it down a little first and then lift the car." ”
Jiuqu replied: "Er Mazi, as far as you are smart, if you can move down, I would have moved a long time ago, come on, let's work hard together." As he spoke, he leaned over and buckled his hand under the car.
After listening to Jiuqu's greeting, these people all bent down to prepare to lift the car, leaving Hou Xiaofeng standing next to him at a loss, Jiuqu looked at Hou Xiaofeng and didn't move, and shouted out of sight: "Hey, brother, don't just look at it, take a hand." ”
Hou Xiaofeng smiled embarrassedly, and also joined the team to lift the car, these people under the command of Jiuji, several times to lift the car to the road, although Hou Xiaofeng also exerted all his strength, but did not feel the weight of the burden, it is estimated that more than half of the weight is resisted on the hemp seed.
Jiuqu checked the wheels, and it was estimated that there were stones or something in the quagmire that had suddenly sunk, and the wheels were a little deformed by the impact, so he shouted: "Old Weitou, come and take a look." ”
At this time, an old man ran from the back of the convoy, and said as he ran: "Coming, coming, young master wine!"
The old man ran up to him, and the wine koji was pointed at him, "How long will it take for this to be repaired?"
Old Wei Tou leaned on the wheel of the car and looked around, and replied: "Young Master Wine, this iron ring is a little deformed, and the spokes are also broken, if it is repaired and in a hurry, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the Heyi Inn before tonight." ”
Jiu Koji said lazily: "Then don't be in a hurry today, you order someone to unload the cattle pulling the cart, go to the side to feed some weeds, and everyone gather to share some dry food." ”
Soon the group unpacked and chatted around while eating dry food, Hou Xiaofeng also got a share of the dry food because he helped carry the car, but Hou Xiaofeng was preoccupied at this time, and he had no intention of eating, nor was he interested in joining them to blow the sea, so he just sat alone and didn't speak.
Hemp, Er Mazi wanted to come over and talk to Hou Xiaofeng, but Hou Xiaofeng briefly explained to them that it was a little incense and he stopped talking after he let himself out.
Hou Xiaofeng learned from the conversation of their group of people that this is a caravan that transports wine to all parts of the country, called the "Good Wine Caravan", the one called Jiuqu is the leader of this caravan, and the old Wei Tou is the steward of this caravan to take care of daily affairs, only he calls Jiuqu "Wine Master", and the other guys call Jiuqu "Wine Leader".
As for the hemp, why Er Mazi is in this caravan is because a little incense is anxious to ask for a wine called "Bingxin Jade Pot", it is said that this wine is sold extremely tightly, and a little incense is afraid that he will not be able to grab it, so he directly sent hemp and Er Mazi to follow the caravan to get it.
Old Wei Tou saw that Hou Xiaofeng had not spoken, so he asked, "Hey, that kid, what's your name, where is this going alone?"
Although Hou Xiaofeng lost the bag and didn't remember the line of small characters written in it, he also remembered that the location of the Secret Valley of Providence written on it was Anling Town, Shaanxi, so he replied: "My name is Hou Xiaofeng, and I want to go to Shaanxi." He didn't say a word more than that.
Jiuqu chewed a piece of dried meat, and said: "It's such a coincidence, we are also going to Shaanxi, why don't we have one, it just so happens that we are short of people recently, you follow us and we have a care, you are not familiar with the place, and your legs and feet are not convenient." ”
Although Hou Xiaofeng's leg injury has long been fine, Chai Bo has already told him not to do strenuous exercise within ten days to heal, but Hou Xiaofeng ran for a while last night, and now his leg is not very painful, but it is a little awkward, but it is not serious, it is almost invisible, this wine koji is sharp-eyed, and even Hou Xiaofeng himself did not feel that there was anything wrong but he found it.
Hou Xiaofeng originally planned to follow them, firstly, he really didn't know the road, and secondly, he also wanted to take care of it, but at first he didn't confirm the character of these people, and he was not too relieved, but now he sees that hemp's two poachs are also in the caravan, and these people don't talk and behave like the kind of caravan that "walks the mountain", and the so-called "mountain" caravan is mostly a bandit and bandit who robs houses under the guise of a cargo caravan.
Since Hou Xiaofeng had the intention of following them, he replied to the words of Jiuqu: "The wine leader has good eyesight, my leg does have a little injury, if you don't think I can't help, then I will follow you." ”
Jiu Koji smiled: "What kind of good eyesight is this, we are outside all the year round, and we have been sick for a long time, I can not only see that you have a problem with your legs, but also that you are overly injured, there must be great sorrow, don't be bored alone, just say it." ”
Hou Xiaofeng knew that his face must not be good-looking, but he had long been accustomed to hiding things in his heart and digesting them slowly, and now let him confide in his experience in front of these people who were not familiar, he couldn't say it, so he replied with a forced smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”
