Chapter 3 The Little Trial
Where am I? Heaven? Damn it, it’s better to be on my Simmons bed. That means I’ve sobered up and returned to my world!
Xiao Jing was woken up by the shaking. He was a little happy at first, thinking that it was because he was rolling around on the soft bed because he was not sleeping well. However, he soon discovered that something was wrong, because he was obviously lying on a hard surface.
On the wooden board, what the eyes can see is nothing more than the ceiling of the carriage.
Someone saved me?
He wanted to sit up, but his limbs were limp and he had no strength at all. After he felt better again, he felt that his head hurt badly. All kinds of discomforts came at once, and Xiao Jing finally couldn't help but groan.
Suddenly, a corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, and a pockmarked and expressionless face was revealed.
I'm going! This face appeared so suddenly that Xiao Jing, who had just woken up, was startled. If he didn't catch his breath, he might have fainted again.
"Are you awake?" The man's tone was cold: "I don't have time to care about you now. If you want to lie down, just lie down first."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain. Xiao Jing, the confused monk, was about to ask a few questions, but seeing that he was in such a bad mood, it was hard to say anything.
It happened that the man was not at ease yet. Every once in a while, he would poke his head in and take a look. The two grown men would glare at each other at all times, which made Xiao Jing almost sick with embarrassment.
Damn, I can't stand it anymore, why don't I just pretend to be asleep?
Xiao Jing simply turned over and closed his eyes, and pretended to snore. The man looked over again and saw that he was asleep, so he didn't bother him again.
After walking for a while, the car stopped, and the surrounding area became a lot more lively. Then someone seemed to come over and say hello to the guy who was poking his head, and the two of them started chatting animatedly.
"It's the same with our young ladies. Why did you save this guy in your car? There are so many miserable people on the road, how can you save him?" One of them snorted angrily and lowered his voice: "Could it be that he fell in love with this pretty boy?
Right? His face is quite handsome."
"Hey, be careful. I'll tell the manager." Although the pockmarked man was not too polite to Xiao Jing, he was very protective of his master: "How many people did the lady save along the way? He was not the only one. Since he sold all the things in my car
After exchanging bottles and cans for food to save people, I have rescued four or five of them, so please stop talking nonsense."
As he spoke, his voice rose, with a sense of pride in his words: "Besides, who is our young lady? Speaking of appearance, temperament, knowledge and talent, who in the entire capital would not praise her? How could she like such a person?
A broken boy?"
Xiao Jing, who had just been able to sit up by his own strength, scratched his head. How gentle, virtuous, and beautiful your lady is, it really has nothing to do with me... By the way, can any of you help me go there for convenience?
Just as he was thinking about how to speak, he suddenly heard a scolding voice: "You two are so brave, how dare you talk about the young lady behind her back?"
The woman who spoke may have some power. The two people chatting seemed to be startled. Not only did they shut their mouths immediately, one of them also hit the car's shaft hard, causing Xiao Jing in the car to feel the vibration.
"Sister Lian'er, you scared me to death!" The pock-marked man laughed dryly: "We didn't have anything to talk about either, so please don't spread the word."
The woman named Lian'er snorted softly: "Am I very free? Besides, the young lady is not as knowledgeable as you. You are the same at home and outside. You can't spit out ivory from the dog's mouth all day long, and you don't avoid talking nonsense.
If I was a garrulous person, you can guess how many times I would be beaten."
The two men said yes again and again. Lian'er said again: "I'm here to see how the man I rescued is doing. Is he awake yet? If he wakes up later, get him some food."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to lift the curtain. Xiao Jing was sitting, and their eyes met directly. Compared with the cold and unattractive man just now, the cute round-faced girl in front of her was more eye-catching.
Much more.
Miss Lian'er spoke very eloquently, but she was a little embarrassed to talk to outsiders. She was so cautious that she immediately let go and the curtain fell.
"This... Young Master, are you awake?" She whispered: "Please wait for a moment, I will find someone to bring food over."
Xiao Jing vaguely heard the man's snickering, followed by a scream that was muffled in his throat with all his strength.
A little funny, he took a deep breath and said: "Well, I'm awake. Please help Miss Lian'er to thank your young lady. The kindness of saving me will be unforgettable. Xiao Jing will definitely repay her in his lifetime."
After a slight pause, he added: "I can't bother you more, but I'm weak now and can't walk alone. I'll leave as soon as I feel better."
"Young Master, you're welcome. You can just take good care of yourself before leaving. Don't be impatient." Lian'er chuckled and said, "Young Master kept shouting 'Lezhou' when he was unconscious. He thought it was something important. We happened to pass by there, so we won't be in a hurry."
I missed the young master's date. If there is nothing else, I will go back now."
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Jing hurriedly called her out: "Xiao has something else to ask for. Can you please help me find some pens, ink, paper and inkstones?"
Lian'er smiled and said: "This is easy to handle, and it's not a difficult task. In terms of wealth and fame, there is not much left. The four treasures of the study are quite abundant. Young master, wait a moment."
She had only left for a short while when someone brought a bowl of japonica rice porridge and a plate of pickles. Just as Xiao Jing devoured it, someone took away the tableware and brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even kindly gave
I bought a table that can be placed in the carriage.
It seems that my luck is not too bad to meet such a good person.
After making preparations and resting his mind with his eyes closed, Xiao Jing started to write. When he was young, his grandfather, who did not know how to coax his grandson, would only take him to practice calligraphy with him. He never thought that this skill would be put to use one day!
The weather was very hot. Since Xiao Jing had woken up, there was no need to keep the curtain open. Several servants in green clothes and small hats slowly gathered around the cart. They looked inexplicably at the man inside who sometimes wrote furiously and sometimes lowered his head and frowned.
Eyebrow, sometimes he respectfully folds the scrap paper and puts it aside.
"What is this person doing? Is he crazy?"
"Who knows? Maybe he wants to show off his talents and make the lady notice him?"
"Watching him write and write is really impressive, but so what, he's just a poor guy!"
Soon, Xiao Jing was surrounded by papers for drying ink. At this time, he still had no intention of stopping. The group of idlers chatted for a while and stared at him for a long time, but they also felt bored.
, and soon they dispersed.
After a long time, he put down his pen and raised his head, looked into the distance and smiled thoughtfully.
