It's mid-April now, and it's obviously hot, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua have been walking for a long time, and they are already sweating.

At first, both of them were thinking about their families, and they didn't say much, and they were very silent along the way.

After walking for a long time, my mood has been slightly relaxed, looking at the bright scene, my mood is gradually broadening, there are more smiles on my face, and there are more words.

Seeing that horses ran by from time to time, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask Zhang Xiaohu: "Second brother, it's a long journey from Guozhuang to Pingyang City, how long will it take for us to get there?"

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua, smiled, and said: "It has to be hundreds of miles away, just relying on our feet, it is estimated that it will take seventy or eighty days." ”

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "Why is it so long, isn't it going to be cold when you arrive in Pingyang City?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Of course we can't rely on ourselves, didn't you listen to Mr. Liu? There is a carriage from Luzhen to Pingyang City, and when we get to Luzhen, first find the carriage to Pingyang City, and give them money, otherwise it will be really cool when we get to Pingyang City, and our clothes are also very bad, let alone the shoes on our feet." As soon as I heard it, I knew that you didn't listen to Mr. Liu when he said it. ”

Zhang Xiaohua blushed for a while, and muttered, "I don't know when Mr. Liu said it, why don't I know?"

The two of them walked while talking, but they were not lonely, and by noon, they had already arrived in Luzhen.

From the New Year to today, Zhang Xiaohua is the first time to Luzhen, looking at the still noisy streets, there are thousands of thoughts in my heart, I don't know why, I am a little distracted, my mood is empty for a while, my eyes are a little flickering, what happened in half a year is like a marquee in my mind keeps changing, his original immature heart is gradually maturing, and gradually fading away from young youth.

Zhang Xiaohu walked a few steps, saw that Zhang Xiaohua did not follow, turned back, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you stunned? It's not the first time you've come, it's not too late for you to be in a daze when you arrive in Pingyang City." ”

This slap woke up Zhang Xiaohua, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "I haven't been here for a long time, I think about it, and I don't know how those two bullies are, I guess I won't run into them." ”

Zhang Xiaohu looked left and right cautiously, and said, "Well, maybe, this place with a big palm in Luzhen is also very likely to be encountered." ”

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu's appearance and said, "It's okay, second brother, don't worry, even if they meet, they may not be able to recognize us, after all, of course their attention is on the sister-in-law and Wen Daxia." ”

Zhang Xiaohu also felt that he was a bit of a fuss about being so careful, but he still said: "It's not a big mistake to be careful, let's hurry up and find a car and horses, and leave early and be safe." ”

On the side of the road, I asked someone about the location of the carriage and horse shop, and the two hurriedly came to the "Biaochi" carriage and horse shop located in the west of Lu Town, and asked people carefully, only to know that the carriage in the morning had departed, and Zuihou's trip was about to leave in half an hour, Zhang Xiaohu quickly asked the price, booked two seats, and then put his mind at ease, although the price of a few dollars of silver made him feel painful, but, after all, he didn't have to walk, so he still took off the money bag from his waist and paid carefully.

The two didn't dare to go far, so they opened their baggage under the tree next to them, took out a little dry food prepared by their mothers, hurriedly ate their stomachs, and begged for some water from the carriage and horse shop, and sat quietly under the tree, waiting for the car to leave.

After a short time, it was time to depart, and the people who were going to take the bus to Pingyang City came, plus the Zhang family brothers, a total of seven people, an elderly couple, a middle-aged woman with a girl, and a young scholar.

When the carriage came, Zhang Xiaohu was also surprised, he had never been out of the door before, naturally he had not made such a big carriage, there were five or six big donkey carts commonly used by Guo Zhuang, with two horses, and so on to open the curtain into the shed, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but look around, there were eight small square tables inside, staggered, and a small cushion next to it, it is estimated that people want to sit, there are two opposite windows in front of the shed and on the wall on both sides, there are curtains blocked, it is estimated that it can be opened, there are nothing else special, looking at the mat is a little shabby, however, how can Zhang Xiaohua dislike theseHe found a cushion by the window and sat down, and Xiaohu also sat down next to him.

Everyone else also found a place to sit down, only the scholar, frowning and looking for a long time, carefully took out a white cloth from his package, spread it on the mat, and sat down with confidence, however, he quickly felt uncomfortable, looked left and right, and when he saw Xiaohua's small square table by the window, his eyes lit up, and he said to Zhang Xiaohua: "This little brother, the carriage will leave later, I want to read a book for a while, the light here is not good, can you change places with me?"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't have any ideas, she didn't read books, she chose a window one just because she could look outside, and she saw that the scholar was sitting on the outermost side, and opened the curtain behind her, so she smiled and nodded, got up and changed with him, and the scholar happily arched his hand to him and sat down.

After everyone was seated, the people of the carriage and horse shop opened the curtain and invited a sturdy man with a knife hanging on his waist to sit in a seat, and the people of the carriage and horse shop said to Zhang Xiaohua and others: "This master is Master Wang of our carriage and horse shop to protect the safety of everyone's trip, if you have anything to do with him." ”

The strong man threw his hand at everyone and said, "In Xia Wang Qisheng, please take care of me all the way." ”

Then, from behind the men of the carriage and horse shop, an old man with a slightly hunched waist and a face full of wrinkles, with a long whip in his hand, smiled and said to everyone: "Little old man is driving the car, I wish you all a safe journey." After saying that, without saying much, he flicked the whip and left.

The man at the carriage and horse shop smiled and said, "This king has such a temper, everyone is not surprised, and the journey is smooth." ”

After speaking, the curtain was lowered, and the carriage moved slowly.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the retreating ground through the curtain lifted by the wind, felt the faster and faster speed, and knew that she was getting farther and farther away from home, and her previous life was going to be far away, but what about the future? This section of the road from Guozhuang to Luzhen in the morning, although he has left home, but he still feels that he is still in the circle of his life, as soon as the carriage moves, he is going to gallop to the unfamiliar shijie, and the taste in his heart is different, and his eyes can't help but be a little blurry, however, Zhang Xiaohua cheered himself up in his heart, and he had already said in front of his mother that he was crying once, and he couldn't be a child anymore, and he couldn't cry.

Zhang Xiaohu seemed to see the clear change in his younger brother, reached out to hold his hand, smiled and didn't speak, but Zhang Xiaohua read the content from his eyes, and his heart was at ease.

Although with the gallop of the carriage, the familiarity and tranquility in her heart are getting farther and farther away, but Zhang Xiaohua also has a trace of expectation, and the state of mind that has just matured is also becoming more and more complete.

Along the way, because they were not familiar with each other, several people did not speak, Zhang Xiaohu, who was leaning on Zhang Xiaohua, because it was also the first time to go out, did not know what to say to Zhang Xiaohua, just held his hand, but with the bumps of the carriage, he did not sleep last night, he slowly closed his eyes, fell asleep on the small square table, and fell asleep.

Zhang Xiaohua pulled her hand out of her second brother's hand, thinking about whether to cover him with something, but the weather was still very hot in the afternoon, and there was only a breeze coming in from the window in the canopy, so the idea was extinguished.

The level of the people who drove the car seemed to be very good, the two horses were very tacit, the car was running fast on the road, and there were not too many bumps in the car, except for Zhang Xiaohua, everyone else was like Zhang Xiaohu, drowsy.

Zhang Xiaohua actually wants to sleep, on such a boring road, he can't always look at the scenery outside and retreat, but he himself is also very strange, except for sleeping at night, he almost doesn't sleep during the day, I remember that I used to like to sleep at noon, every afternoon after eating in the field, I will sleep under the tree for a while, I don't know when it started, I don't have this habit? It's a pity, the big stone on the slope, I still want to sleep on it in the future, alas, what else do I think, I won't plant the land on the slope in the future, leave it to the eldest brother to sleep, what do I still think about sleeping. However, Zhang Xiaohua was a little confused, and heard the eldest brother say that he would not wake up until dawn when he slept until he slept until dawn, what was going on? It was really strange to think about this time, I remember that I used to wake up often at night, and now it seems that I haven't woken up in the middle of the night for a long time, is it that I can sleep too well? Moreover, there is also that dream, it's really strange, it's the same dream every day, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but shake her head when she thought about it, she couldn't understand.

By the way, also, my strength is really not small now, although I haven't compared my strength with the eldest brother and the second brother, but it's definitely not smaller than them, I'm happy when I think about it, I'm only thirteen years old, and when I'm as old as my brothers, my strength must be greater, and it's better to help my father work, alas, why do I think of working again, let's learn martial arts, protecting the safety of my family is the most important thing, and I don't know if the thieves in Xicui Mountain have really given up seeking revenge?

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was thinking wildly, the carriage ran for an afternoon, and when it got dark, the speed of the car slowed down slightly.

Everyone in the car woke up one after another at this time, Zhang Xiaohu rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, looked out the window, and asked Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, have you slept? Where are you at this time?"

Zhang Xiaohua said depressedly: "I didn't sleep, but I don't know where I went." ”

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "That is, if you know, you will become a god." ”

At this time, the scholar sitting next to Zhang Xiaohu said: "This is almost to Baozhen, a town as big as our Lu Town." ”

Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment and said, "Baozhen, this name is good, is there any treasure?"

The young scholar was also stunned, and laughed out loud, saying: "This Taiwanese brother is humorous, I haven't heard of any treasures in this treasure town, this name is because there was a big man surnamed Bao here a long time ago, so it was named after it." ”

Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
