Chapter 20 Guest Officer, Huaiyin City is here
Accompanied by the creaking sound of wheels, the little marquis woke up in constant shaking. In front of him was a shabby carriage full of sour smell, a black mat that had been seated, and a bright door shaft that had been opened and closed for a long time.
He moved his numb body slightly and pushed open the carriage, and the dazzling sunlight shone in in an instant.
The old man who was driving the car heard the sound behind him and turned around and grinned at the guest: "Are you awake?"
Jiang Baochan pinched his drowsy head and looked around.
There were endless fields everywhere, and the donkey cart was walking along the narrow road, and the donkey in front of him grinned happily.
The man who drove the car was wearing wide and not very fit clothes on his body, holding half a cake head in his hand, smiled slightly, revealing half of his front teeth, and no idea when the other half was knocked.
Except for his thicker hair, a brief look was similar to Jian Wuzheng, who had been driving his car for many years. Looking at him smiling honestly, Jiang Baochan suddenly calmed down.
Well, he nodded slightly, even if he responded.
The old man rubbed his rough palms on the clothes and handed over the remaining cold cake: "If you don't dislike me, try the skills of my old woman."
Looking at the broken teeth marks on the cake, and then looking at the old man's hope, it was really like a stretching hand, or not without stretching it. With a dizzy head, he could only try to figure out a way to open the topic: "Brother, where are we going?"
"I'm sending you to Huaiyin City. The guest who sent you here said, "You haven't slept for three days and three nights. I'm asking me not to disturb you. Just send you to Huaiyin City and find an inn to put it down." The old man reached out to touch his arms and took out a few pieces of silver with gray and black: "This is the silver given by the guest official. Since you are awake, I don't have to find a store for you. The little one will deduct one for the car money and give the rest to you."
Jiang Baochan took the broken silver with his body temperature: "What do the guests who sent me look like?"
As soon as he said that, the old man became alert and grabbed his mind tightly: "Customer, this is wrong, how can you think of my hard-earned money?"
The little marquis was so amused that he was laughing and crying. When he woke up, he was on a carriage in a strange place. He still couldn't figure out what the situation was now. He just asked the customer what he looked like, so why did he become a hard-earned money to worry about him: "Where did your father-in-law start?"
Even if the little marquis asked, the old man who drove the car did not relax his vigilance at all, and his hands tightened: "The guest officer who sent you told me that 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. It has been sixty or seventy miles for you to send you. I still have an old woman to support me. You really can't worry about my hard-earned money."
Looking at the pitiful old man, Jiang Baochan sighed: "I will give you ten taels of silver. Tell me what he looks like and what kind of dressing up?"
When he heard this, the old man smiled and showed two rows of back grooves: "Don't mess with me. When you were asleep, the guest asked me to change your clothes. You don't even have a copper coin."
After saying this, Jiang Baochan noticed that at some point, he had changed into a set of clothes worn by ordinary scholars. The soft golden silk armor wrapped inside disappeared with his Chengyue treasure sword that had been built for a long time.
Jiang Baochan was shocked and then suddenly woke up. The woman in red, her limbs were all over the ground, the crowd of people running around, and the bloody smell that was pouring into her nose. He was so frightened that he started to retching.
Seeing that the guest was about to vomit, the old man who was driving the car quickly stopped the donkey: "If you are sick, please go down and take two steps to get some breath!"
Baochan held back the sour water that had reached his throat with force, got out of the car and suddenly breathed a breath of fresh smell. It was indeed much better.
The old man also got out of the car and moved his legs slightly: "You scholars are not very good at body bones. You should exercise more when you have nothing to do. The doctor in our village often said that you can walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to ninety-nine. It is not a big deal for you to fall asleep all day long."
Baochan nodded, took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of rice ears again, and got into the car.
The old man jumped into the car and patted the donkey's butt. The shriveled stupid donkey hummed twice, and continued to bite the rice ears on the roadside. The old man kicked the donkey's butt hard, and then raised his head.
At night, the old man who was driving the car tilted his neck to take a nap from time to time, and then suddenly woke up. The shriveled donkey areata, which had a lot of hair, was still rushing forward slowly.
The lights of Huaiyin City were gradually visible in front of me. The old man turned around and looked in the crack of the door. The scholar and guest sleep in the corner with his body shrank. It was a lot colder this day.
After days of fatigue and internal injuries on his body, Jiang Baochan hurried in the carriage and slept soundly.
A slightly cold night wind blew in through the crack in the window. In a trance, someone seemed to be calling his name.
Jiang Baochan replied vaguely. He couldn't remember who it was. He just felt his head was like a stone and his eyes were filled with lead.
He only saw a fair hand vaguely, stretched out and grabbed his throat. He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't struggle.
The world suddenly changed, with dark red blood all around, and there was no black fingers everywhere. Only a pair of different hands were stretched straight. As the hands got closer and closer, bloody faces gradually emerged clearly.
Ah! Jiang Baochan suddenly woke up.
