Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 77

Now that the matter has been arranged properly, Su Ho and Zheng Dongxu greeted Aunt Pan and Aunt Qian, and they were about to leave.From Teshuibu to Enshi Prefecture, the Wang family took the sick Wang Cungen and the young Wang Zhi after walking for a few days to arrive. Now the sun is already westward, even if the two of them ride fast horses, there is no way. Get to Enshi Prefecture before dark, let alone Suho who can't ride a horse.

Moreover, even if Suho could ride a horse, finding a horse in the poor mountain village of Tieshuibu was even more difficult than Suho walking to the state by himself.

Fortunately, Qingmu Town is a relatively prosperous town. There are many businessmen and travelers coming and going in the town. For the convenience of people coming and going, there is a carriage and horse shop in the town. As long as you arrive at Qingmu Town, please hire a driver who is familiar with the road. , rushing all night, at least you can reach Enshi Prefecture by noon tomorrow.

Su Ho doesn't know much about these things, and it's been two years since he traveled here.But her footsteps have not gone out of the range of Qingmu Town. For the world outside of Qingmu Town, Su Ho intends to break into the outside world, but there is an old Wang Shi, and there is a young and ignorant one. Leek, I can't leave even if I want to.

Everything is arranged by Zheng Dongxu.I don't know why, in the previous life, Su Ho was wary of anyone, but now he has complete trust in Zheng Dongxu. Although Zheng Dongxu had a cold face, Su Ho believed that Zheng Dongxu could not hurt her from the bottom of his heart.

Suhe has walked the road from Treading Port to Qingmu Town hundreds of times, and Zheng Dongxu is also very familiar with this journey. After leaving the gate of Wang's house, the two of them headed directly to Qingmu Town, passing the slender Youshui River, and then walked along the road. Follow the Youshui River and walk forward.

It's getting late, today is not a day to go to the market, there are very few villagers on the road, occasionally there are two, and they are in a hurry, rushing home.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Su Ho was thinking about his own thoughts quietly, and Zheng Dongxu was a person who didn't like to talk. It took the two of them more than a quarter of an hour to arrive in the town.

Zheng Dongxu led Su He to the car and horse dealer who knew the way well.

"Boss," Su Ho called after Zheng Dongxu's gesture after entering the door.

Seeing Zheng Dongxu's expressionless face, Su Ho curled his lips secretly, and called out in his heart that he was a villain, afraid that others would know that his voice sounded like a woman, so he had to open his mouth to deal with the boss, really, he didn't like it, okay?

The boss was busy in the shop, when he heard someone calling him, he hurried up to greet him, and said: "Guest, do you want a cart or a horse? We also provide experienced coachmen here!"

Su Ho took a look at Zheng Dongxu, and said: "We want a carriage, um... we need an experienced coachman, let's go now, go to the state!" Su Ho said quickly, making his request clear Clear.

The boss was a little hesitant, glanced at Su Ho, smiled again on his face, and said, "Ma'am, it's getting late, and the mountain road is not easy to walk..."

"Boss, I know, but there is an urgent matter at home, and I have to go to the state!" Su Ho softened his tone, and asked again: "Boss, how much does it cost, you can just say..."

Su Ho said these words very without confidence, after all, he didn't have much money in his arms to give him a ride.

The boss shook his head and said, "Ma'am, you don't need to be like this. Our store is open to all ages. The price is whatever it is, and we won't raise the price casually. It's just that it's getting late and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and it's even more dangerous at night..." Now, since Madam said that there is an urgent matter at home, I will call an experienced old coachman to take Madam to the state!"

When Su Ho heard this, he was overjoyed, there are still many good people in the world!I saluted the boss, and waited beside Zheng Dongxu.

The boss bowed sideways to Su Ho's salute, and went into the room to make arrangements.Generally, shops like chariots and horses will hire people to live in the backyard, in case the boss can call for business at any time, and the chariots and horses are also kept in the backyard.

The work efficiency in this shop is still very high. After waiting for a while, Su Ho and Zheng Dongxu heard the sound of horseshoes trampling on the ground, and the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground.

Su Ho took out the silver from his pocket, handed it to the boss, and got into the carriage first, followed by Zheng Dongxu.

The carriage is just a horse-drawn carriage that is common in the town. It is tied with a piece of blue floral cloth as the curtain, with a round roof and no decoration on the body. It looks very simple. The curtains were made of patterned cloth like a door curtain, and the inside of the car was very simple, except for stools on three sides for the people in the car to sit, lie down and rest.

Su Ho sat on a stool by the window, watched Zheng Dongxu also bend into the carport, stared at him, and said, "Get out, lonely man and widow, what does it look like!" Like being coquettish.

Zheng Dongxu put his index finger to his mouth and made a quiet gesture. This gesture was not in line with her temperament, but he made it so natural.

Su Ho was taken aback for a moment, and then heard an old voice outside "drive", and then the carriage moved slowly.

Soho lifted the curtains and watched the street scene slowly moving backwards. The roads in the town had been filled up by people, and the carriage was relatively stable.

It was the first time for Su Ho to ride this kind of carriage, and he felt very surprised, and his depressed mood was relieved a little along the way.

Zheng Dongxu didn't sit on the stool of the carriage, but sat cross-legged in the center of the carriage shed. His upper body was straight and didn't shake at all. He kept looking at Su Ho fixedly, paying attention to Su Ho's every move.

For a long time, in Zheng Dongxu's cognition, Su Ho is quiet, calm, intelligent and witty, but he has never seen Su Ho showing such a childlike appearance. Zheng Dongxu is almost obsessed with seeing it. Those smart eyebrows are like the eyes of a mountain girl. Like a sika deer, lively and pleasant, it made Zheng Dongxu almost want to hug her into his arms and caress her delicately.

Sensing Zheng Dongxu's fiery gaze, Su Ho only felt as if he was in the middle of the stove. Putting down the curtain, Su Ho turned his head nonchalantly, took a quick look at Zheng Dongxu, lowered his eyes, clasped his hands on his lap, and held them tightly. Together.

Both of them didn't speak, Zheng Dongxu's gaze was still fixed on Su Ho.

After a while, Su Ho broke the silence in the car and said, "Brother Zheng, what shall we do when we get to the state?"

Zheng Dongxu looked away, staring at the curtains that were shaking constantly with the movement of the car body, without speaking.

Su Ho sighed in frustration, knowing that he didn't like to talk in front of her, really, she wouldn't laugh at him because of his voice.

Just when Su Ho thought that Zheng Dongxu couldn't speak, Zheng Dongxu spoke quietly. The cold voice made Su Ho feel as if he was in the coolness of spring. He only heard Zheng Dongxu say: "He'er, it's a night's journey from here to Enshi. Take a break now, and I'll call you again when I get to the state!"

Su Ho stared at Zheng Dongxu for a long while, the light in the car was a bit dim, only occasionally the light from the curtain lifted by the wind shone on Zheng Dongxu's face, flickering on and off, making it hard to see clearly.

In the end, Su Ho nodded. He was really tired after working for a long time. Su Ho relaxed his body, leaned back, leaned against the partition of the carriage, closed his eyes, and slowly moved with the bumps of the carriage. ups and downs.

Gradually, the hustle and bustle of people in the town slowly disappeared.

However, Su Ho didn't have the slightest intention of going to sleep. Her mind was full of Mrs. Wang lying on the bed weakly, so helpless, and what appeared in her heart was the kindness and kindness that Mrs. Wang had treated her in the past. Unlimited tolerance.

She frowned a little bit.

The sun was getting westward a little bit, and it was gradually getting dark in the carriage. Outside the carriage, the old coachman drove the carriage quietly, except for the sound of driving, the only sound was the friction of the wheels on the ground.

Zheng Dongxu didn't know when he turned his head again, and looked at Su Ho intently. The light was very dim, but he still saw Su Ho's frown slowly, and his urgent voice also showed that Su Ho did not act as he expected. Say rest.

Zheng Dongxu's brows also gradually frowned, he didn't like Su Ho's thoughtful look.He wanted to say something to comfort her, but after searching all over his mind, he couldn't think of what he should say to comfort her at this time.

The car was walking steadily, the car was quiet, not a single sound came out.

It was getting late, and the old coachman came out with two dead wind lanterns and hung them on both sides of the car, emitting a soft light, adding a ray of warmth to the silent night in the middle of the mountains.

There are many birds chirping and insects chirping in the mountains. In the first half of the night, it seemed to be very lively, as if a feast was being held. In the second half of the night, the sky became quiet, and the roaring of beasts in the distance gradually stopped. .

Su Ho kept his eyes closed, his lips pursed quietly, there was no light in the car, only the lights of the two dead wind lanterns on the carport faintly shone in.

Zheng Dongxu closed his eyes at some point, he was quiet, even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear, his back was still straight, he hadn't seen a trace of relaxation in the past half a day, he sat cross-legged and his legs didn't move Too much.

Su Ho knew that he should listen to Zheng Dongxu's words and take a rest. However, his eyes were closed for a long time, and his thoughts were still clear, but his mind was full of thoughts about what to do if he couldn't find the big family that Zheng Dongxu mentioned. That family, what to do if they don’t want to sell Honglian, what to do if they are willing to sell because they don’t have so much money... I have so many thoughts for a while, I can’t fall asleep.

She was also worried about Wang Shi and Chives at home. Although she knew that Aunt Pan would take good care of them for her, worry was inevitable.

The bent legs were a little numb, and the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply at night. Su Ho also felt that he seemed a little cold, and his thoughts were a little confused. Su Ho didn't bother to move, but quietly leaned against the carport.
