Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 48

Chen Yuan had been to the boundary of Tongshan County before, which was the place where Li Zhiqing was killed. The distance between the two counties was only more than 30 miles, which is not too far in future generations, but even the official road in this world is also rough. Horses and chariots are difficult.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the road. After passing the thatched hut where the gang of child robbers stopped that day, they entered Tongshan County all the way, found an open space, and set up a stage for a new performance of "Yuanmen Sheji "Looking at the effect, in order to facilitate more people, the old babbling voice was changed, and the narrative story was told in a few plain words, which attracted many people to watch and applaud.

After noon, the stage was closed, and the ox cart went out of the city, hooves raised and lowered gently, passed through the city gate, and stepped on the official road. In the cool wind blowing in the hot summer, the golden rice fields swayed, The distant mountains on both sides, the nearby fields and villages are gradually receding behind.

The bullock cart was moving slowly, and the fat Taoist was shaking the bell and jingling non-stop, looking at the scenery outside the official road, a little lost in thought.

There are many wooden carvings with different looks on the car, and they are all weird and mysterious things in ordinary people's homes, but the piles in the car are so full that there is only room for the crazy old man to sit alone.

On the rough road, the car was swaying, Chen Yuan put away the paper with the "Sword of Yu" written on it, and looked back into the car, where the master who was about to be buried by a pile of puppets and sundries was staring at him eagerly.

"The canopy is really not enough. The body of the car is also narrow, and there are more puppets in the back, so I'm afraid it won't fit."

Looking at the eyes of the passing business travelers, Chen Yuan drove the old cow to the side of the road, looked at the car body and awning, and was thinking about how to plan, when suddenly a voice shouted from behind: "Brother in front, walk slowly. "

Chen Yuan, who was gesturing the size of the cart, raised her face, and a shirtless man came over pulling a donkey cart, on which was a round-bellied water tank with the word "wine" on it.

Chen Yuan arched her hands towards him: "This big brother, what's your name?"

"Didn't I call you! I watched my brother's woodcarving show in the city, and the performance was wonderful. It just so happens that there is a happy event in the village. Can you go over there? Don't worry, the reward will not be small."

The man was also a hardworking man, so he turned around and went to the donkey cart to get a bowl, scooped up a bowl of wine and handed it to Chen Yuan: "Brother worked hard on the journey, first drink some wine to moisten your throat."

He pulled the towel around his neck and wiped his forehead, and saw Chen Yuan take a sip of the drink, with a simple and honest smile on his face, not caring at all whether his words offended.

"Our Zhuangzi is not far from here. Brothers used to be able to have a wedding banquet with us. The whole village eats, and the meal is very lively. The host's family must also be rewarded."

The Zhuangzi mentioned by the man was called Liuzhuang, which happened to be not far to the north, and it was more than ten miles away from the town where the Chang family was located.Chen Yuan looked at the sky, it was probably getting dark after walking so slowly.

'After passing the Canglan River, there are too many officials and Taoists here, so we still don't need the speed talisman... Well, it's not a waste of time to exchange a wood carving show for the three of us for a meal. '

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll follow."

Seeing Chen Yuan agreeing, the man smiled even wider, rubbing his hands and nodding repeatedly, "Then I'll go there and wait for you at the entrance of the village, brother, just follow this road and you'll be there."

After speaking, he took the donkey cart and waved goodbye.

The sun is slanting, the old trees beside the road, and the crows are singing "wow".

Chen Yuan took the ox cart to a nearby forest, a moment later, a burst of birds flew, the forest shook, and the old cow mooed! ', there was a ping-pong-pong movement for a while, and when it came out, Qingniu pulled a cart and drove up the official road again.

A thick cross-bar is placed on the back of the old ox, and the cart extending backward becomes wider, with an extra layer of benches for sitting, and the original cart body has also become a pure wooden box, which has been widened a lot.

The outside of the box is painted with brown paint, which looks antique. One side of the box can be pushed and pulled, and it can be turned into a small stage in an instant when it is lowered outside.

Inside the van, there are many small compartments on the side that cannot be pushed and pulled, and each puppet can sit in it, saving a lot of space.

The crazy old man felt more comfortable now, he could lie down and lie down, and he could roll with his feet stretched.

"Using mana to catch up with the system really gets twice the result with half the effort... You can do whatever you want, but it's a bit like the fast food truck of later generations..."

Chen Yuan sat comfortably in the brand-new ox cart and slammed the whip. The old cow rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and struggled to pull up the new cart.

"The master is comfortable, but my old cow is suffering... oh..."

After walking for a while, I didn't see the man pulling the donkey cart by the side of the road. Instead, I saw an old farmer cleaning a hoe in a small ditch. When he heard the ox cart coming, he raised his eyes and looked curiously. Cars I've seen.

After a while, Chen Yuan got out of the car, walked over quickly and arched her hands.

"This old man, do you know how to get to Liuzhuang?"

The old farmer looked at Chen Yuan with a strange expression, "What are you doing in Liuzhuang?"

"I met a man in Liuzhuang on the way. He said that the village was having a happy event and asked me to go and perform a woodcarving show." Chen Yuan took a puppet to show to the old farmer, but the latter buried his head, waved his hands repeatedly, and carried a hoe Just go to the village.

"Young man, it's getting dark, it's not easy to walk at night... Hurry up and find a place."

"This old man is weird." The fat Taoist opened his head and glanced, and then threw the wood carving into his hands. Chen Yuan smiled: "There is a ghost in it. Isn't it, Master?"

In the car, the crazy old man tapped the woodcarving with the appearance of the formula, and called out loudly: "Move! Move! Quickly move!" Immediately, he flicked his hair in disarray, and said angrily: "Don't disturb the teacher's practice! "

He didn't seem to care about the expression of the old farmer just now, the bullock cart continued to move forward, half a mile behind, in the setting sun, the man pulling the donkey cart was standing on the side of the road and waving happily to them from a distance.

"Brother, it can be regarded as coming here. Please, invite inside. I told the host of the banquet. After the banquet, there will be two performances in the sunba."

"That's right. We walked for a while and couldn't find it, so we asked an old farmer in the field on the way. The man was weird and didn't say anything." The fat Taoist's eyes lit up when he heard the meal.On the contrary, the man looked at Chen Yuan with a strange expression on his face.

"...Brother, don't talk to people indiscriminately on the road... Forget it, they're all here anyway, hurry in, the banquet will start right away."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to grab the old ox, the rein was just in his hand, the head of the ox swung down, the rein broke free from his hand, and the old ox walked to the wooden bridge with its hooves on its own.

The man rubbed his hands in a little embarrassment, and still made a gesture of invitation to Chen Yuan and the fat Taoist.Invited the two of them to enter the entrance of the village in front, once they entered the village, there was a lot of noise, red silk was hung on the treetops, and lanterns with the word "囍" were hung high, and more than a dozen round tables were surrounded by villagers, big and small. Waiting for the table to open.

The host is a man in his early 40s. He folds his hands and returns gifts to the guests from time to time, and cheerfully invites them to sit down.When Chen Yuan came with the man, the host seemed to know about it, and said again and again: "Thank you for coming to help, take a seat quickly, and Xiao Qi quickly take this brother to a seat, let's have a good time after dinner."

There were also villagers around who heard the words, turned their heads to look at them, and nodded to Chen Yuan with a smile.

"Boss, hurry up, the master has already talked, let's sit down quickly, I'll call Laolun... I'll call the master of the boss!" The fat Taoist hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, and he opened his head to see if there was a bride. The figure hurriedly ran to the bullock cart.

The old cow let out a deep breath, and looked at the figures sitting at the table, the bottom of his huge eyes, the festive red of the checkout with lights, was white and miserable.

Invited by the man, Chen Yuan sat down at a table and nodded with a smile. In her eyes, there was the main entrance of the house with red lanterns and couplets hanging on both sides.

Burn a stick of real incense in the furnace,

Dense auspicious energy reaches the universe.

　In fact, this is a warm story.
