Chapter 026 The Fun of Guessing
After seeing Ma Er leave, Liu Yi smiled and said, "I thought Brother Huai Ren was a hard-hearted person, but I didn't expect him to have such a kind side."
Ben Huairen laughed and said, "Alas! Why do men have to make things difficult for men!" Turning his head and looking at the silent Shangguan Qing, Ben Huairen smiled and said, "Miss Qing, don't be angry. I don't mean any harm. I just want to remind you that people are sinister and don't trust others too much.
"Brother Huairen is also kind-hearted. How can I be angry?" Shangguan Qing smiled and said, "It's not early. Let's have a good rest!" After saying that, I went back to my room.
Several people rested and were safe all night. Several people had some breakfast in the morning. Ben Huairen took out the map, spread it on the table, and pointed to the map: "The ancient wilderness is in the canyon of the sunset mountain, passing through the sunset mountain. In this way, it will take us four or five days to go. I think we have to speed up the journey. I don't know where the two groups are now?"
"I think we can find a carriage so as not to work hard." Jiang Hu laughed and said. Oh, by the way, Brother Ren, bring all the delicious food. I don't want to be a starving ghost!" Jiang Hu twisted his head, sat at the table and poured a glass of water while drinking.
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat. I don't know what else you can do besides eating!" Shangguan Qing gave Jiang Hu a contemptuous glance.
"In addition to eating, I can also seek happiness for the beauties in the world. Hey hey!" Jiang Hu said with an obscene smile.
"It's just you, I pooh." Shangguan Qing directly dealt the heaviest blow to Jiang Hu.
One sentence made Jiang Hu so much that he drank tea.
"Well, it's getting late. It's time for us to go!" Liu Yi looked at the noisy two and urged.
"Well, let's hire a carriage now, and then buy something to eat and go on the road." Ben Huairen put away the map and looked at Jiang Hu, who was drinking water desperately.
Hearing Ben Huairen's words, Jiang Hu looked at Shangguan Qing proudly. Shangguan Qing directly ignored and turned his head to ignore Jiang Hu.
The four people walked out of the inn, and the second child couldn't help smiling when he saw the four people smiling. Then he smiled and said, "Sir, take your time. Welcome to come back next time."
Liu Yi turned around and looked at Xiao Er with a slightly deep smile and said, "You have worked hard. I hope you will be free next time."
Ben Huairen, Jiang Hu and Shangguan Qing laughed and said nothing when they heard what Liu Yi said.
Xiao Er didn't know why. He looked at the four people who were gradually disappearing and scratched their heads and said, "Is it hard for me?" Then he shook his head helplessly and continued to be busy.
Walking in Hema Town, it wasn't long before Ben Huairen took Liu Yi and others to the car. The lazy groom saw someone coming in, and everyone was energetic. Liu Yi and several people were surrounded by words. Come and take my car."
In the noise, four people were pulled away by the groom of four cars. Ben Huairen shouted, "We are together and only take a car."
Liu Yi, Shangguan Qing and Jiang Hu also echoed.
The car suddenly calmed down. Suddenly, the bearded groom said with a serious look, "Take my car. It only costs 40 taels of silver. It's cheap. The most important thing is my good driving skills.
"Wang Laoer, how can you be the skill of driving a carriage when you play with women's skills? This is not fooling the guests!" A groom in the car said with a laugh.
"You boy talk too much!" Wang Laoer laughed and scolded. The grooms laughed as they heard the quarrel. After a while, he began to pull the guests by himself.
"Sit me, 38 taels of silver is fine." Sit on me, thirty-five taels." Sit on me, thirty taels."
Suddenly, the sound of bidding in the car industry covered everything. Four people couldn't help laughing when they saw this. Liu Yi smiled and said, "Isn't it too funny that you decide to be hired by us before the place is said? You can decide to stay when we say where we are going.
Ben Huairen looked at the eager eyes of the crowd and paused, "The place we are going to go is not a good place, and it's a little far away. Are you interested in going to the wild ancient world in the sunset mountain canyon!"
"What, the ancient world, is that a dangerous place to go?" There are many bandits in the sunset mountain. How much is it worth putting your life in to earn this money." That's right, I'll forget such a dangerous place." I'm not going either. I'm going to hold my wife Wencun at night!" If you have money, you have to have a life to spend. I think I will still keep my life to the Baihua Building for a few more years.
Suddenly, the grooms talked about it. As he spoke, they all dispersed.
Shangguan Qing blushed when he heard the groom's words and scolded, "Are you men? You don't have the courage at all."
Wang Laoer with a beard smiled and said, "Girl, don't you know if we are men to try it?" Haha..." Wang Laoer looked at Shangguan Qing obscenely and laughed.
"You..." Shangguan squatted his feet and turned his face. Looking at the blushing, the grooms laughed again.
Ben Huairen's face is slightly angry, but he can't get angry. After all, these grooms live a difficult life, and it is inevitable that they will rely on these meat words to stimulate the life of a single adjustment and pass the boring days.
Ben Huairen looked at the grooms and said, "Is it true that no one wants to go? I'll pay 100 taels of silver. Think about it!"
Everyone whispered and shook their heads after a moment.
Looking at such a result, Liu Yi and several people were very disappointed. I had no choice but to leave the car.
Just as several people were about to walk out of the car, a sentence of 'slow down' immediately made Liu Yi and several people overjoyed. Several people turned their heads and saw the corner of the car, holding dry smoke in one hand, and the old man staring at this side in the fog.
Ben Huairen walked to the old man and said with a smile, "Old uncle, you... Will you send us?"
The old man took a mouthful of dry smoke, then raised his left foot, hit the pipe hard on the sole of the shoe, shook off the ashes, and said slowly, "Give me two hundred taels and I'll send you there." But Liu Yi's eyes have never been separated.
"Why don't you grab 200 taels!" Jiang Hu looked at the old man sarcastically.
"Yes, I'm robbing it! Do you like to go or not? The old man took out a few wis of tobacco from his cigarette bag, filled his pipe and lit it. After squatting in front of his carriage, he smoked indifferently.
"Old man, two hundred taels is two hundred taels. When can we leave?
Ben Huairen smiled.
"I can do it now." The old man extinguished the dry smoke and separated the cigarette rod to his waist. Just live your own carriage.
"Only the old grandson can take over this job. If it were someone else, it would definitely not work." "It's a person without relatives for no reason, and there is no concern. If it's me, I can also pick it up." The old grandson is alone. Don't you know why you need so much money?" Two hundred taels, it's really cruel."
In the discussion, the old grandson and Liu Yi walked out of the car.
On the street, several people bought enough food and drink, loaded them into the car, and hurried to the ancient world.
In the evening, the old grandson drove a carriage to the sunset mountain. The sunset mountain is high and steep. Even in summer, you can't see the sun after noon here. Only the sunset can shine out from the sunset mountain. Nowadays, in late autumn, the sky is short and the night is long, and the sky is darker faster. Even the glow has been hidden for a long time.
The old grandson stopped the carriage, untied the horse and tied it to a tree on the side of the mountain road. He took out the grass from the dark groove at the bottom of the car and threw it to the horse and lit a bonfire with the carriage on his back. When the bonfire lit, the fire reflected on the flickering wrinkled face, vicissitudes and desolation. The old grandson took out his beloved dry tobacco pole and filled it with tobacco. He jerked up, and a mouthful of sadness spit out from the depths of the lonely soul.
Liu Yi took out food and gave it to everyone, and then sat around the bonfire. Talking while eating. The old grandson didn't say anything. Lower your head and eat.
"Old uncle, where is your family?" Liu Yi gathered around the old grandson and said.
"Family?" Lao Sun raised his head, and his turbid eyes flashed brightly. After a pause, the old grandson mocked himself, "I have no family." Then he regained his previous look.
Looking at the old grandson, Liu Yi stopped asking. He vaguely understood that Lao Suntou, like his brother, had deep pain.
Suddenly there was silence. Several people were silent.
Ben Huairen looked at several silent people and broke the silence and said, "It's so boring. Why don't you guess the riddles?"
This proposal immediately aroused everyone's hearts.
Jiang Hu, who was eating, pouted and said vaguely, "Okay... OK.."
Ben Huairen paused and laughed, "It is said that a man drank too much and supported a big tree. Beat an animal."
Several people were meditating there, but no one knew half a day later. Lao Sun thought while smoking a dry cigarette, but he didn't think of it.
Ben Huairen smiled and said, "How about it? I don't know. I'll tell you. This animal is the 'rabbit'.
Shangguan Qing wondered, "Why is this a rabbit?" That's right, how can it be a rabbit?" Liu Yi didn't know why.
The old grandson also looked straight at Ben Huairen.
Ben Huairen smiled cunningly and said, "I drank too much and held the tree to vomit there. Isn't it just a rabbit?"
"That's okay." Jiang Hu laughed after understanding the meaning.
Ben Huairen answered, "There is another person who drinks too much and holds a big tree."
Several people said in one voice, "Rabbit."
Ben Huairen smiled and said, "No, this time it's a hare." After saying that, he laughed.
"Come again." Several people said. The old grandson smiled and said nothing. Still smoking dry smoke.
Ben Huairen smiled and said, "Okay. By the way, another person drank too much and peed against a big tree.
"Rabbit." Liu Yi waited and laughed.
"Wrong, it's a rogue rabbit." Ben Huairen laughed. Shangguan Qing also blushed with a smile.
Liu Yi and Jiang Hu laughed even more. Lao Sun also cracked his mouth. I saw Lao Sun's first smile. Liu Yi was very happy and smiled even more happily.
In this way, Ben Huairen played riddles with everyone and made everyone laugh.
The star has turned and is approaching late at night. Unconsciously, several people wanted to sleep. Lao Suntou smiled and said, "You go to sleep in the car. I'm vigil here." Several people were not pretentious and said in unison, "Thank you, uncle."
The lonely night is very quiet. The old grandson smoked dry smoke, and only loneliness accompanied him. Occasionally, he threw some branches into the bonfire and baked the cold inside.
The old grandson's expression was dull and his thoughts were flying. The only thing that remains unchanged is to smoke dry smoke deeply and slowly exhale smoke. At this moment, on a lonely night, the old grandson looks even older.
Sorrow and loneliness accompany this vicissitudes of the old man.
The stars gradually faded and looked up at the sky. Old Sun's head breathed a long sigh of relief.
While Lao Sun was relaxing, a brushing sound came from the woods beside the road. Lao Sun looked alertly at the woods in the distance, hurriedly shook off the soot, and inserted the dry tobacco pole into his waist.
