Five hundred and twentieth chapters by the way things
Chapter 522: Something along the way
Early the next morning, Chai Yan was awakened by the crow of the rooster.
After waking up, Chai Yan's first reaction was to turn around and look at the kite beside him, but there was no one around him.
Chai Yan and Yuan slept back to back last night with their clothes still on. Yuan was still holding a black iron sword in his arms. He didn't know whether he was guarding Chai Yan or he was reluctant to part with his own sword!
"It's too early to get up..."
After Chai Yan muttered something, he sat up and turned his head to look out the window. It was already dawn.
Chai Yan opened the quilt and got out of bed, put on his shoes and left the house.
When I walked into the yard, I saw that the rain had stopped and the air was particularly fresh. At the same time, the coolness of the early morning also came over, making Chai Yan, who was sleeping in his clothes, shiver.
Hearing a sound from behind the house, Chai Yan turned around and walked towards the shed.
When he saw Yuan Yuan feeding the horse, he said: "Madam, why didn't you call me when you were feeding the horse? I can do this..."
As he spoke, Chai Yan joined the procession of feeding the horses.
Yuan Yuan whispered: "Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't disturb you..."
Chai Yan smiled, turned around and saw that the donkey was gone, so he asked: "Madam, Yang Chengyi is gone?"
Yuan nodded and said, "She must have left. The donkey was gone when I came..."
Chai Yan said with a smile: "Just like last night, I wouldn't be ashamed to see you. It's right to leave early."
The two of them finished feeding the horses while talking, and when they returned to the front of the house, they met the old man of the store.
"Good morning, store owner!"
Chai Yan said hello, and Yuan nodded slightly.
The old man in the store glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "Morning..."
Then, Chai Yan and Yuan went into the house to pack their things and came out to say goodbye to the old man in the store.
The old man from the store said: "Are you two going to Yaozhou City?"
"Yes." Chai Yan responded.
"In that case, how about helping the old man take a letter to the city? If you don't want to, forget it!"
Even when asking for help, the old man in the store still had a tough tone.
Chai Yan glanced at Yuan, nodded and replied, "No problem, just give us the letter from the store, and we will definitely deliver it."
"Oh, really?"
The old man in the store actually didn't have much hope. After all, he was a passing guest. Unexpectedly, Chai Yan agreed.
Chai Yan smiled: "Of course it's true. It's just a matter of convenience and it's not troublesome!"
"Waiting..."
The old man from the store immediately returned to the house and took out a letter and handed it to Chai Yan.
"Thanks in advance!" The old man in the store thanked him, but his tone was still the same.
Chai Yan took the envelope and looked at it. The recipient's name was Chen Xiang, and the address was Rende Pharmacy in Yaozhou City.
When Yuanyuan saw that Chen Xiang had a female name, he asked out of curiosity: "Shopkeeper, is this a letter for your daughter?"
Unexpectedly, the face of the old man in the store suddenly darkened, and he said unhappily: "If you want to send the letter, you can send it to me. Why are you asking so carefully?"
"I......"
Yuanyuan was choked immediately, and said to himself, I will just ask, why are you like this? This old man has such a weird temper!
Chai Yan pulled the kite and shook his head gently, meaning don't worry about it.
"Don't worry, store owner, we will definitely deliver the letter!" Chai Yan said and put the letter into the bag.
The old man in the store did not speak, but suddenly turned around and entered the house.
Chai Yan saw that Yuan Yuan was a little unhappy, so he whispered: "Forget it, the old man's temper is like this."
Afterwards, the two of them took the horses from the shed and were about to leave, and the old man of the store came out of the house.
He took two steps and shouted to Chai Yan: "Go on!"
Before he finished speaking, the old man from the store threw something towards Chai Yan.
Chai Yan caught it in the air and saw that it was a broken piece of silver. He immediately recognized it as the accommodation money he had given to the old man last night.
The old man in the store said loudly: "I leave the letter to you!"
After that, the old man went into the house and closed the door.
"This weird old man..."
Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and said, and the unpleasant mood just now disappeared.
Chai Yan smiled slightly, then put away the money and said: "Let's go, madam..."
Yuan asked: "Why don't you return the money to him? We can't stay here in vain. We drank wine and used fodder..."
Chai Yan asked back: "Madam, do you think he will accept it if we return it?"
When Yuan Yuan thought of the old man's bad temper, he shook his head and said, "Probably not..."
"Then it's over! Let's go to Yaozhou City first. If the recipient of the letter is Chen Xiang's family, it will be the same if we give the money to her," Chai Yan said.
Yuanyuan thought it made sense and immediately said: "Well, this is a good idea!"
After discussing, the two got on their horses and headed out of the village onto the official road.
Walking along the official road to Yaozhou City, an hour passed quickly...
At this moment, a figure of a man and a donkey appeared in the distance on the road ahead.
Chai Yan immediately pointed to the road and said, "Madam, look, that's Yang Chengyi, right?"
Yuan Yuan took a closer look and said, "Yes, it's him!"
At this time, Yang Chengyi was competing with his donkey. No matter how much Yang Chengyi pulled and drove the donkey, the donkey just refused to move forward. It was fine if it didn't move forward. It would take a few steps back from time to time. Yang Chengyi, who was so angry, pointed at
Donkey Tou kept yelling.
Soon Yang Chengyi heard the sound of horse hooves approaching, and when he raised his eyes, his face suddenly stiffened.
Yang Chengyi cursed in his heart: Thanks to you, you stupid donkey, let this couple catch up. They will be embarrassed now!
When Chai Yan and Yu Yuan rode up to Yang Chengyi, Yang Chengyi looked embarrassed and was too embarrassed to raise his head, let alone say hello.
"Mr. Yang, what's wrong with your donkey?" Chai Yan asked on his horse.
Yuyuan didn't speak, just watched quietly.
Yang Chengyi replied: "Nothing, just the two of you go first..."
Before Chai Yan could respond, the donkey began to bray "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", just like the sound it made when it wanted to eat fodder last night.
Chai Yan immediately laughed and said to Yang Chengyi: "Mr. Yang, your donkey is hungry. Feed it some food and it will leave."
"You can eat what you want, this stupid donkey just needs a beating!"
Yang Chengyi was very angry. After saying this, he kicked the donkey. The donkey immediately changed its tune because of the pain.
But after braying in a different tone for a few times, the donkey's braying returned to its original sound. Not only that, the donkey also kept looking at the kite braying.
Chai Yan said happily: "Seeing no lady, this donkey is not stupid at all. It recognized you and came to beg for food from you!"
When Yang Chengyi mentioned begging for food, he remembered the embarrassing scene last night, and his anger immediately filled up. But he was too embarrassed to get angry at Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan, so he had to vent his anger on the donkey.
"Eat! Want to eat! I make you want to eat! I make you eat until you are full!"
Every time he said a word, Yang Chengyi would kick the donkey, and the donkey once again began to bray in pain.
Yuan couldn't see it, so he immediately jumped off the horse and stopped him: "Why are you like this? Why are you taking it out on a donkey?"
