It was really comfortable lying on the ground, and she was getting a little drowsy from the sun. At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Mengyao was so happy that she climbed up, put her big straw hat on her head, and stood up.
In the middle of the road, he stretched out his arms, ready to catch a ride.
Normally, he sees the figure in front of him from a distance, with a big straw hat covering half of his face. A hint of wariness flashes in his eyes, and he tightens the whip in his hand. The carriage has also accelerated, and the people in the carriage feel his change and open their eyes slightly.
Eye.
"Stop...stop..." Mengyao shook her hands vigorously and shouted loudly, hoping to stop the carriage. In this way, she and Xiaoqiaoer would not have to walk and could reach the city quickly. Thinking of this, a happy smile bloomed on her face.
, the shouting voice also contained incomparable excitement.
Instead of slowing down, the carriage sped up and rushed over. The man driving the car looked down with cold eyes. Mengyao was stunned and felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. An inexplicable dangerous aura emanated from the carriage toward her.
It hit her head-on. She instinctively stepped back, and without haste to dodge, she fell to the ground. The carriage rushed away like the wind, and the rushing loess had covered Mengyao's thin figure.
Mengyao was stunned, what was in the carriage? It made her feel so scared. She secretly sighed that it was so dangerous! She almost lost her life. She shivered, and it took her a long time to react. She patted the loess on her body and jumped up in anger.
The carriage was out of sight, and I felt really upset. I pointed in the direction in which the carriage was leaving and cursed: "Your grandma is dying, you are in such a hurry to get reincarnated!"
A young and handsome man in the car thought of the smart eyes and the pure smile just now, a trace of curvature bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and then he regained his composure. This scene happened to be seen by ordinary people who turned around, and suddenly, as soon as it reached his throat
He swallowed his words again. He was confused and wanted to ask how to punish those who were disrespectful to the master. Unexpectedly, he accidentally saw the master's smile. Since the master did not blame him, it was easier for the boy. He drove the carriage and continued forward slowly.
Slow down to minimize bumps.
Mengyao just acted impulsively and vented her grievances. She didn't know that people could hear her from so far away. It was this chance encounter that broke her original dream of living an ordinary life with Qiaoer. It was also this chance encounter that was destined to happen.
After that, I will start an extraordinary life.
Mengyao was already exhausted from rushing on the road, and in addition to the thrilling scene just now, her body and face were covered with loess, and she looked like a beggar. She saw Xiao Qiaoer standing blankly on the side of the road, holding her butt that hurt from the fall, limping.
He walked towards Xiao Qiao'er who was standing on the roadside.
The water Xiao Qiaoer had already dropped to the ground in shock, and her face turned pale with fright. Seeing Mengyao walking towards her, she regained her composure, tremblingly stepped forward to support Mengyao: "Sister... you... you
Are you okay?"
"Ouch... Grandma, my butt hurts so much when I bump into an unreasonable person..." While rubbing his butt, he glared angrily at the place where the carriage left. He didn't notice the person who had just come back to his senses.
Xiao Qiaoer was stunned by her words again.
There are still many good people in the world, and I don’t know how much time has passed. Finally, I met a kind-hearted old man who happened to be traveling on the same road and gave them a ride. During the chat, they learned that the old man lived in Xiaoliu Village in the east of the city. The old man was very talkative, so he knew that they were outsiders.
He kept telling them interesting stories about the capital.
When talking about the current emperor, the old man was even more eloquent. He said that the emperor is a holy king who loves the people like a son. The country is peaceful and the people are prosperous. He lives in harmony with neighboring countries and trades with neighboring countries. He has a good reputation among the people. The emperor has four princes, each of whom
Incomparably handsome, the eldest prince......
Mengyao felt that those things were too far away from her, so she only listened to a general idea. Unable to withstand the bumps of the calf cart, she huddled in a corner and went to play chess with Duke Zhou.
When we arrived at Xiaoliu's house, it was getting late and the city gate had long been closed, so we stayed at the old man's house for one night. Although the old man and his wife had no children, they were kind-hearted and amiable. I heard that they were also lonely and had no friends, so they took good care of them.
Invite them to eat together.
Mengyao had no appetite after such a bumpy ride. She patted the dust on her body and put on her clothes and went to bed.
I woke up at noon, feeling sore all over, and cleaned myself up again. I only drank a small bowl of gruel, but I was too tired and had no appetite. Xiao Qiaoer thought that the lady couldn't bear to eat, so she didn't dare to ask more questions. Xiao Qiaoer had already eaten.
After asking about the route, they thanked the old couple and walked towards the city gate.
The greenery is fresh, the air is pleasant, the breeze is blowing on your face, and the sun is shining warmly on the world. There is a constant flow of people coming and going along the way, and you can already feel the bustling scene of the city outside the city gate. The buildings in the city are antique and scattered and unique.
Luohe Street is the most prosperous street in the city, with a street width of more than 200 meters. It is now noon, and both sides of the street are full of shops and merchants. There are many pedestrians and merchants coming and going, and the shops are selling goods to welcome customers. The bustling crowds are even more crowded.
There were some hawkers carrying loads of trinkets and colorful commodities, which added a bit of excitement to the bustling scene.
It was also Xiao Qiao'er's first time here. The two of them couldn't help but be extremely excited. They looked around curiously. The smell of food came from the alley not far away, and they felt that they were extremely hungry. Pulling Xiao Qiao'er, they turned around and entered.
Entering the alley, the aroma of various snacks in the alley was tempting. They turned around and entered a wonton shop. There were only four small tables inside. The old man invited them to sit down at the small table outside. Mengyao took off her bag and put it on the table.
Go up. Take out an ingot of silver from inside.
"Old man, please have two bowls of wontons!" Mengyao handed the money directly to the old man, intoxicated as she smelled the aroma of wontons wafting from the pot, and her stomach started to rumble with hunger.
"This..." The old man weighed it and hesitated. Mengyao looked at the old man with a puzzled expression. Is there something wrong with the money? Or was it not enough?
"Isn't it enough?" Just as he was about to reach for the baggage, his clothes were gently tugged by Xiao Qiaoer next to him.
"I have some scattered silver here." After saying that, Xiao Qiao'er took a piece of broken silver from her waist and gave it to the old man. She returned the ingot of silver to Mengyao and carefully put it into the bag.
"Little brother, wait a moment, it will be ready soon." After the old man said this, he happily turned around and went to order the wontons.
Only then did Mengyao realize that the money she had given him was too big and difficult to find. She felt as if a pair of eyes were shining coldly at her from behind. When she turned around, she saw a man in gray clothes on the small table behind him, eating wontons with his head down.
After a while, the old man came towards them with a bowl of wontons in one hand. Mengyao stood up and was about to catch the bowl, but she saw the man in gray clothes behind him walking out after eating, and happened to brush against the old man. The old man swayed and
The bowl of piping hot wontons fell to the ground.
