Chapter 211 Black Hole 24
"Brother, what's your surname? Are you a local? How long have you been doing this? How is your income?"
He asked a series of questions, and the coachman murmured in his mind how presumptuous this question was... But she was a guest, wouldn't it be bad if she didn't answer? So I reluctantly chose to answer.
"You're welcome, but my surname is Liu. My family is in the business of San, so they all call me Liu San. I have been doing this for almost eleven years, and I have been running with the team for three or four years."
"Oh, that's it. Brother Liu, are you married?"
Liu San's eyes brightened up when he mentioned this topic, and he said happily: "I'm married. I still have three children at home, so I can barely make ends meet. Let me tell you about this guest. I'm not boasting. My wife, that's What a stunning beauty!"
Liu San's face was full of pride when he said this, and his expression was extremely impressive.
Hua Zhi agreed in due course and praised him. Soon, the two began to call each other brothers and sisters.
"Little sister, let me tell you, there are many beautiful and interesting things on this road, and there is also a lot of food. Brother will take you to walk through them one by one."
……
On the way to join the convoy, Hua Zhi couldn't say a few words the whole time. Liu San was the one doing all the talking. It's hard to tell that this honest Liu San is actually a talker.
"Little sister Hua, have you had breakfast? Brother, can I bring you one? The team has to wait for a few guests here, and they will not set off until they are all here."
"No, Third Brother, I'll go by myself. You go ahead and do your work. I'll just wait here until we set off."
Liu San warned him again and again, and then left uneasy. Hua Zhi took the opportunity to observe her surroundings.
They are now in Beicheng, next to the main road, and on the left is the largest inn and restaurant in Beicheng, where they have accommodation and food.
On the right are some shops selling some things. Currently, only the inn and the breakfast shop here are open.
Huazhi looked carefully and saw that the shop sold steamed buns, steamed buns and soy milk.
Looking at the convoy again, it is not large. There are only five carriages now, and there should be a few more carriages later.
Huazhi's carriage was the most ordinary carriage, and the horse pulling the carriage was an old horse. It looked okay, not so thin that the ribs were visible, but it was not much better.
The specifications and horses of the four cars in front looked much better than theirs. At least the horses were young and powerful.
Hua Zhi looked back and saw that Qian Tian was sleeping soundly. He remembered that he had to go to the toilet, so he walked over and shook him awake.
"Why?"
"Don't you want to go to the toilet? Hurry up, wash your hands after going to the toilet and come out to have breakfast."
"Oh." Gantian rubbed his eyes, woke up Dikun who was leaning on him, and asked Dikun to take him to the toilet.
"You guys go to the inn and borrow the hut, and I'll buy some black beans and rice bran on the way. This horse is skinny. Don't die of exhaustion on the road before we get there."
"Row."
Then, the three of them walked to the inn together.
Qiantian was helped by Dikun to go to the toilet. Huazhi and the shopkeeper bought black beans, rice bran, and even some corn. The shopkeeper also gave him a handful of salt.
It only cost 300 yuan to buy these things, which was a good deal.
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to help move things to Huazhi's carriage, while Huazhi took two unthreshed corns to feed the horses.
The old horse didn't dislike the corn either, and he ate it quite happily.
When the waiter saw Huazhi feeding the horse corn, he smiled and asked her, "Little girl, are you planning to run a long distance?"
Huazhi answered while feeding the horse: "Yes."
"Then I suggest you feed it some oats and some light salt water, which will be better."
Hua Zhi smiled after hearing this: "Okay, then could you please give me a meal? How much does it cost?"
The waiter didn't expect that Hua Zhi not only listened to his opinion, but also entrusted him with the job. He grinned and said happily: "It doesn't cost much, just fifteen cents."
Hua Zhi directly counted twenty coins and put them into the store clerk's pocket: "Here, here are twenty coins, and those five coins are for you."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely handle this for you." The waiter took twenty coins and happily returned to the inn.
Hua Zhi smiled and walked to the breakfast shop to buy three breakfasts. When she returned to the carriage, the waiter had not returned yet.
Qian Tian and Di Kun came back, Hua Zhi handed breakfast to them, and the three of them stood beside the carriage and ate breakfast together.
Soon, the waiter came back, carrying a wooden bucket and a bag in his hand, not knowing what was inside.
The waiter first said hello to Hua Zhi who was having breakfast, and then placed the barrel in front of Lao Ma.
Lao Ma smelled the food, snorted, and immediately lowered his head to eat.
The waiter put down the barrel and ran into the inn again. When he came out again, he was holding a large wooden basin with a basin of water in it.
The old horse raised his head and glanced at the wooden basin, then continued to eat the food in the wooden barrel, which contained oats, rice bran, small pieces of hay, and some broad beans mixed together.
The waiter touched the old horse's neck and said to him: "Old man, eat it. This meal must be delicious, don't waste it."
Hua Zhi and Di Kun just looked at it, and Qian Tian only saw a big ball of color in his eyes.
The three of them had eaten and drank enough. The old horse had actually finished eating, but he still refused to give up the barrel and stuck out his tongue to lick every corner of the barrel. It was really not a waste at all.
"That's it, old man, just finish eating. Let's drink some salt water, so that we can have the strength to pull the carriage."
The old horse snorted again, obediently left the wooden barrel that had been licked clean, and stretched his head to drink the light salt water in the wooden basin.
As soon as Lao Ma had eaten and drank, the waiter said goodbye to Hua Zhi and returned to the inn with the bucket and basin. Liu San came back with a handful of hay in his hand and a bag with three patches on his shoulder. of baggage.
It seemed that he had taken his luggage, and he didn't know if he had stored it somewhere or if he had gone back home.
Liu San first greeted Hua Zhi, then took the handful of hay and handed it to the mouth of Lao Ma, who had just eaten and drank enough: "Come on, Lao Liu, have some."
Lao Ma ignored him and turned his head to one side.
"Hey, Old Liu, what's the matter with you? I didn't feed you anything in the morning. If you don't eat this handful of hay, I won't have time to wait for you to eat roadside grass on the way."
The old horse ignored him and still refused to eat the hay in his hand.
Just as Liu Sang was about to take action, Hua Zhi called him: "Third brother, this old Liu just ate. He may not be hungry now. Feed him later."
Liu San held the handful of hay: "What did it eat?"
"A paste of rice bran, oats, hay segments, some broad beans, and light salt water."
Liu San looked at his old partner and said in a surprised tone: "Hey, why have you changed, Old Liu? It turns out you just had a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas. That's okay."
As Liu San spoke, there were tears in his eyes, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he blinked them away in time.
"Behave well on the road, Lao Liu, don't be embarrassed."
Hua Zhi and Di Kun looked at each other, not understanding what was going on with Liu San. Qian Tian knew that they were just spectators to everything in this world, and that not long after, everything here would be wiped out.
