The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.
The gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, which looked like another sign of the coming storm.
On the empty official road, a carriage was speeding forward. The driver was a dark-faced man, wearing a black armor on his upper body, holding a whip in his hand, and kept shouting, urging the horse pulling the carriage.
As he sped up and ran, a look of exhaustion appeared on his face.
"Master, it looks like it's going to rain in this damn weather. Let's find a place to stay!"
The dark-faced man riding the horse looked up at the dark sky, then quickly turned his head, glanced at the curtain hanging at the door of the carriage, and said softly.
"Lao Pei, count the time, are we almost at Yingchuan?"
The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing half of a young man with a handsome face. This young man was Wang Can who went to Luoyang to seek an official position. At this time, Wang Can was wearing a blue robe, with a wooden hairpin in his bun, and his eyebrows were like
Jian, his clear and bright eyes were shining, his tall nose bridge was straight and strong, his lips were thin, and his face was square and handsome, giving people a feeling of freshness and elegance without losing the masculinity of a man. Wang Can looked at the people around him.
After taking a look at the environment, he said: "This place is completely deserted. It may be difficult to find a place to stay!"
The old Pei mentioned by Wang Can is naturally Pei Yuanshao.
He went to Luoyang with Wang Can and was responsible for Wang Can's safety.
Wang Can went to Luoyang to seek an official position, and only took Pei Yuanshao with him. Zhou Cang, Xiao Lu Meng and others stayed in Runan City.
Although the Yellow Turbans in Runan City supported Wang Can and were in awe of Wang Can, Wang Can left Runan City for Luoyang, but could not put the newly captured Runan City in danger, so Zhou Cang, Liu Cheng, and Dong were left behind.
Fang guarded Runan to prevent accidents. This was not only to frighten some people with ulterior motives in Runan City, but also to prevent officers and soldiers from attacking the city.
After listening to Wang Can's words, Pei Yuanshao said: "Master, this is indeed within the territory of Yingchuan. In half a day, we will be able to reach Yingchuan County. Although the distance we have traveled now is very sparse and uninhabited,
But I am very familiar with these places. Just a little way ahead, there is a dilapidated Taoist temple. We can stop there and rest for a night, and then set off on our journey early tomorrow morning."
Wang Can nodded, hummed, and said, "Lao Pei, why are you so familiar with Yingchuan?"
Pei Yuanshao said: "Yingchuan was a major battlefield when the great virtuous army launched its troops. Zhou Heizi and I both stayed in Yingchuan for a while, so we are quite familiar with Yingchuan."
Wang Can hummed, stopped talking, shrank his body and returned to the carriage.
The wheels were turning, the carriage was running fast, and the biting cold wind was blowing on his face like a knife. Pei Yuanshao was blown by the wind and squinted his eyes slightly, with a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes. This damn weather was really annoying.
"Hoo~ho~~~" In the dark sky, a strong wind blew, blowing up bursts of dust.
"Sha~sha~~sha~~~"
A strong wind blew by, kicking up countless amounts of sand and dust. Suddenly, Pei Yuanshao, who was galloping on horseback, felt a chill on his face.
"It's raining!" Pei Yuanshao sighed in his heart. It started raining heavily before he could reach his destination. It was really bad for traveling! Big raindrops fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a burst of water mist rose from the ground.
As soon as it started, the heavy rain splashed on the ground, and a smell of dust hit the face, and the rain and mist were hazy. The huge mist made the vision in front blurred. Pei Yuanshao's clothes had already been wet by the rain, and Pei Yuanshao couldn't care less at this time.
His clothes were soaked, and he kept urging the horse to run quickly.
"Huh~~~ Finally here"
Pei Yuanshao looked from a distance and saw a dilapidated Taoist temple standing in the rain beside the road ahead.
The Taoist temple has long been dilapidated, the gable walls have collapsed, and it is almost in ruins, but it can still be used to shelter from the rain.
Pei Yuanshao drove the carriage to the entrance of the Taoist temple. Wang Can got out of the carriage and ran into the Taoist temple quickly. After Wang Can got off the carriage, Pei Yuanshao pulled the horse and placed it on the grass next to it.
In the shed, they prepared grass food for the horses, and then hurriedly ran to the Taoist temple to take shelter from the rain.
"This place is really sparsely populated. Few people come here. There are spider webs everywhere."
Wang Can muttered, picked up a stick from the ground, and cleaned up the spider webs in the Taoist temple. Pei Yuanshao walked in and followed Wang Can to clean up the Taoist temple. It took the two of them more than half an hour to clean up the main hall.
, and also found thick straw and spread it on the ground as a bed.
"Crack, crackle, crackle~~~"
In the main hall, Pei Yuanshao took out the firewood, picked up some dry firewood from the Taoist temple, and lit the bonfire. Suddenly, wisps of bright red flames kept dancing on the fire.
Wang Can rubbed his cold hands and moved closer to the bonfire. Feeling the bursts of warmth coming from the bonfire, he felt much more comfortable. He glanced at Pei Yuanshao who was like a drowned rat and said, "Old Pei, it's so cold. It's very cold."
If you catch a cold easily, you should quickly take off your soaked clothes and change into a new set."
Pei Yuanshao grunted and changed into a new set of clothes. Then he hung the wet clothes on a wooden stick and dried them over the fire. After doing this, Pei Yuanshao took out the noodles he had prepared earlier from the bag.
He divided some into Wang Can's hands, then took out a jug of wine from the bag, smiled, drank the wine, and ate the noodles.
Watching Pei Yuanshao eating noodles and drinking wine, Wang Can felt a hint of envy in his heart.
Pei Yuanshao is a pure person. Although he has a simple mind, he lives a simple and carefree life. Such a life is not bad. However, such thoughts were suppressed by Wang Can in an instant. He has already embarked on a path of his own choice.
On the road, there is no room for retreat. In addition to rushing forward with all our strength, we still rush forward with all our strength.
Wang Can choked on a mouthful of noodles and said with a smile: "Lao Pei, you can't drink alone if there is wine, give me a sip!"
Pei Yuanshao scratched his head and said, "Didn't I think you don't drink?"
In fact, it has been almost two months since Wang Can traveled through time, and he has indeed not touched any alcohol, because Wang Can hopes to keep a clear mind at all times.
Wang Can took the jug and said with a smile: "Although drinking will cause trouble, it's okay to take a sip occasionally."
Gudong, gudong. Wang Can pointed the jug at his mouth and took a few sips. Then he changed the jug to Pei Yuanshao. After drinking the strong drink, a wave of heat suddenly rose from his stomach and he felt warm.
many.
"Wine, delicious wine!"
Just when Wang Can handed the jug to Pei Yuanshao, a thin and frail young man ran in. The young man's tall nose kept twitching, and a pair of smart eyes moved around, looking around.
Looking at Wang Can and Pei Yuanshao, the young man stared at the wine bottle in Pei Yuanshao's hand, and unconsciously walked towards Pei Yuanshao, with deep joy in his eyes, as if he had seen a beautiful woman taking off her clothes.
The young man chuckled, walked to the bonfire and sat down.
He stretched out his hand to lift the wet hair from his forehead, his eyes fell on Pei Yuanshao, and he said with a smile: "It's so cold. It's raining heavily in this damn weather. Hey, I'm all drowned. Brother, I'm covered in blood."
I'm wet from the rain, and I'm very cold. Can you let me have a sip of wine to warm myself up?" The young man leaned close to the fire, rubbed his hands, and looked at Pei Yuanshao expectantly.
Pei Yuanshao's heart skipped a beat and he was very reluctant.
He also loves wine, but he doesn't want to give up his good stuff to young people.
Wang Can looked at the eyes of the young man in front of him, and felt very strange. The young man gave him a very casual feeling, as if he was familiar with it, but the young man's eyes were clear and bright, his eyes were neither humble nor overbearing, and there was a sense of confidence in his eyes.
It's very casual, but the tone of the words makes people feel very comfortable.
This young man is not bad!
Wang Can commented in his heart, nodded, looked at Pei Yuanshao and said: "Old Pei, meeting is fate. Besides, this brother is weak. It will be bad if he catches a cold. You can get another bottle of wine, and then
Give him some bread. Drinking on an empty stomach is harmful to the body. Drinking with this bread is not that harmful to the body." After a pause, Wang Can said again: "Get a set of clean clothes from my baggage.
Put it on for him."
"Master, you?"
Pei Yuanshao was shocked, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes. He was just a sick man, so he didn't need to be so kind to him. But when he caught a glimpse of Wang Can's unkind eyes, Pei Yuanshao shrank his head and reluctantly took the bag again.
He handed a pot of wine and bread to the young man, then took out a set of clothes from Wang Can's baggage, handed it to the young man, and hummed: "Good luck to you, you meet my young master."
Wang Can saw Pei Yuanshao's expression and shook his head.
No matter what the identity of the young man in front of you is, if you are out and about, whoever is in trouble will help you if you can.
