Chapter 65: On the road

Chapter 65—The road
It is now the weather in mid-April, and the obvious heat, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua have gone a long way and have been sweating.
At first both of them were worried, thinking about their family, not saying much, all the way, very silent.
After a long walk, my mood has been slightly relaxed. Looking at the bright scene, my mood is gradually widening, my face is more smiling, and my words are more.
Looking at the horses running from time to time, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask Zhang Xiaohu: "Second brother, a long journey from Guozhuang to Pingyang City, how long have we been there?"
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua and smiled. He said, "There must be hundreds of miles away. It’s just a matter of walking on our feet. It’s estimated how to get seven or eighty days."
Zhang Xiaohua stunned and said: "How long has it been, is it not cool to go to Pingyang City?"
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Of course, we can't rely on ourselves to go. You didn't listen to Mr. Liu. From Luzhen, there is a carriage to go to Pingyang City. When we get to Luzhen, we will find the carriage to Pingyang City and give them money. Cheng, otherwise, when we go to Pingyang City, it really is autumn cool, we can't do this clothes, let alone the shoes on the feet. I heard that when you said Mr. Liu, you didn't listen well."
Zhang Xiaohua’s blush, said:
I don’t know when Mr. Liu said it, why don’t I know?

When they said that they were walking, they were not lonely. When they arrived at noon, they had already arrived at Luzhen.
From the New Year to today, Zhang Xiaohua is the first time to go to Luzhen, looking at the still noisy streets, my heart is full of thoughts, I don’t know how, but I’m a little distracted, my mind is empty and my eyes are flickering. What happened in the past six months, such as the changing lights in my mind, the original immortal mind gradually matured, gradually faded young green.
Zhang Xiaohu took a few steps and saw Zhang Xiaohua didn't keep up. He turned back and patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing? It's not the first time. Wait until Pingyang City, you will not be late."
This slap in the face of Zhang Xiaohua, he laughed and laughed at himself: "I haven’t come for a long time, I think about it, I don’t know what the two bullies are, I don’t think I will run into it."
Zhang Xiaohu carefully looked around and said, "Well, there is no chance that this place in Luzhen is very likely to meet."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu’s appearance and said,
Nothing, second brother, don’t worry, even if they meet, they may not recognize us. After all, of course, their attention is on the body of Wen Daxia.

Zhang Xiaohu also felt that he was so careful when he was so careful, but he still said: "Be careful not to make a big mistake, or hurry to find a car, go early and get safe early."
Looking for someone on the side of the road to ask the location of the car and the horse, the two rushed to the "Coach" car line in the west of Luzhen, carefully asked people, knowing that the carriage in the morning has already set off, the last glimpse After half an hour, I will leave. Zhang Xiaohu quickly asked the price and booked two seats. This is a good time. Although the price of a few dollars makes him hurt, but after all, there is no need to walk, so it is still from the waist. Take off the purse and pay the money carefully.
The two did not dare to go far, just under the tree next to them, opened the baggage, took out some dry food prepared by the mother, hurriedly ate the belly, and asked for some water from the car, and sat quietly under the tree. Waiting for the start.
After a short time, I arrived at the time of departure. The people who want to go to Pingyang City by car are coming. Together with the Zhang family, there are seven people, an elderly couple, a middle-aged woman with a girl, and one Young scholar.
When I arrived at the carriage, I was surprised by Zhang Xiaohu. I have never been to the far door. I have never done such a big carriage. There are actually five or six big horses that Guo Zhuang used to drive, and two horses are used to open the curtain. Into the shed, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but look around with novelty. There are eight small square tables in it, staggered and placed with small cushions next to them. It is estimated that people are sitting. There are two opposite sides of the shed and the walls on both sides. The window, there is a curtain block, it is estimated that it can be opened, there is nothing special about it, watching the mat is a bit worn, but how can Zhang Xiaohua dislike these? I found a cushion by the window and sat down next to him.
Others also found the position to sit down, only the scholar, frowning for a long time, carefully take out the white cloth from his package, put it on the mat, and then sit down with confidence, but quickly and uncomfortable, look around Look, when I saw the small square table with small flowers by the window, my eyes lit up and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "This little brother, when the carriage is gone, I want to read the book. The light here is not good, can you follow? I change position?"
Zhang Xiaohua didn’t have any idea. If he didn’t read the book, he chose a window because he could look outside and watch the scholar sitting at the outermost side. He opened the curtain behind him and thought it would be able to see it, so he smiled and nodded. , got up and changed with him, the scholar was happy to arch his hand and sat down.
When everyone sat down, the people in the car line opened the curtain, and the strong man with a knife hanging around his waist sat in the last seat. The person in the car said to Zhang Xiaohua and others: "This is our car. Master Ma, who protects the safety of everyone's journey, has nothing to say to you."
The strong man rushed to everyone and said: "In the next Wang Qisheng, please take care of all the way."
Then, from the back of the car dealer, he turned out a little old man with a waist and a little hunch. He took a long whip in his hand and smiled at everyone: "The little old man is driving. I wish you all the best." After that, there is not much to say, and the whip is gone.
The gang’s buddy smiled and said:
This Wang Ma’s temper is this temper, everyone is not ignorant, all the way.

Finished, put down the curtain, the carriage slowly moved.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the receding ground through the curtains that were picked up by the wind. He felt that the speed was getting faster and faster. He knew that he was farther away from home. The previous life was far away. Later? A piece of sorrow. In the morning, from Guozhuang to Luzhen, although I have left my home, I feel that I am still in the circle of my own life. When this carriage moves, it is necessary to go to a strange world. The taste in my heart is different, and I can’t help my eyes. It was a bit fuzzy, but Zhang Xiaohua cheered on himself in the heart. In the face of the mother, she said that it was the last time she shed tears. She could no longer be a child, and she could not cry.
Zhang Xiaohu seems to have seen the clear change of his younger brother, reaching out and holding his hand, laughing and not talking, but Zhang Xiaohua read the content from his eyes, and his heart is also stable.
Although with the galloping of the carriage, the familiarity and tranquility of the heart are getting farther and farther away, but Zhang Xiaohua also has a long-awaited expectation, and the newly matured state of mind is also more and more perfect. What is the front, waiting, what is it?
Along the way, because they are not familiar with each other, several people did not speak. Zhang Xiaohu, who relied on Zhang Xiaohua, was also the first time to go out. He didn’t know what to say with Zhang Xiaohua, just holding his hand, but with the carriage. The bumps, he did not sleep well last night, actually slowly closed his eyes, his body fell on the small square table, fell asleep.
Zhang Xiaohua took his hand out of his second brother's hand and wondered if he would decorate him. However, the weather in the afternoon was still very hot. The wind in the hood had only the window coming in, and the idea was extinguished.
The level of people driving the car seems to be very good. The two horses are very tacit. The big car is running fast on the road. There is not much bump in the car. Except Zhang Xiaohua, everyone else is like Zhang Xiaohu. sleepy.
Zhang Xiaohua actually wants to sleep. On such a boring road, I can’t always look at the scenery that is going backwards. It’s just that he is very strange. Besides sleeping at night, he almost never sleeps during the day. I remember that I used to like it at noon. Sleeping, after eating in the ground every afternoon, will sleep under the tree for a while, do not know when to start, there is no such habit? It’s a pity that the big rock on the still thinks about sleeping cool on it. Hey, what do you want to do? If you don’t want to plant the land on the slope, let’s sleep for your eldest brother. . However, Zhang Xiaohua is a bit confused, listening to his older brother said that he will not wake up when he is not sleeping. What is going on? It’s strange to think about this time. I remember that I used to wake up in the evening. It seems that it’s really not a long time to wake up in the middle of the night. Is it too sleepy? Moreover, there is that dream, it is really strange, every day is the same dream, Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and could not help but shake his head, could not understand.
Yes, and, now, my strength is really not small, although I have not compared with my older brother and my second brother, but certainly not smaller than them, I am happy when I think about it, I am only 13 years old, and I am as big as my brothers. The strength is definitely bigger, and it is better to help you work. Hey, how do you think about working hard, or to study martial arts well, to protect the safety of your family is the most important, and you don’t know the thief of Xicui Mountain. Did you really give up your revenge?
Just in Zhang Xiaohua's cranky thoughts, the carriage ran for an afternoon, and when the sky was dark, the speed of the car slowed down slightly.
The people in the car just woke up at this time, Zhang Xiaohu blinked, stretched out, looked out the window, asked Zhang Xiaohua: "Small flowers, are you sleeping? Where is it now?"
Zhang Xiaohua said depressedly: "I didn't sleep, but I don't know where it is."
Zhang Xiaohu laughed and said: "That is, if you know, you will become a god."
At this time, the scholar sitting next to Zhang Xiaohu said: "This is a small town that is almost as big as Baozhen."
Zhang Xiaohu said, "Baozhen, this name is good, is there any treasure?"
The young scholar is also a glimpse. He screamed and said, "This brother is humorous. I haven’t heard of any treasures in this treasure town. This name is because a long time ago there was a surname The big man, in this name."
Zhang Xiaohu could not help but burst into trouble.
