Since everyone's destination is Gaolian County, and they have a relationship of "sharing difficulties" and "helping each other" after spending the night together, we can barely be considered half-friends, so it's impossible to make sense for them to separate.
Zhao Nan looked at his master with his eyes wandering: "How about, how about..."
Zhou Hansheng looked at Zhao Liya: "You two don't mind, why not come together?"
It was probably God's will. With these two people as cover, their group happened to be dispersed and they entered Gaolian County without being conspicuous. There is nothing wrong with that.
It's not troublesome anyway.
Zhao Liya thought for a while, nodded generously and smiled: "Thank you very much!"
The road is slippery after the rain, so it's not a bad idea to go with them.
Zhou Hansheng invited Zhao Liya to mount the horse. Miss Zhao was a guest, so it would be awkward for her to ride the horses of those under her, so she might as well ride her own.
Zhao Nan and others were all surprised: I didn't expect that their young master would be willing to let others ride Zhui Yu...
Zhui Yu is tall and handsome, with a snow-white body, and his fur is smooth and shiny. When he looks at people with his head raised, he has a noble and elegant temperament.
Zhao Liya's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she was very impressed. She didn't expect to be able to ride it! It's just——
"But I, I can't ride a horse..."
Zhou Hansheng smiled slightly: "Zhui Yu is very gentle, I will hold it."
Zhao Liya felt really itchy and couldn't bear to let go of such an opportunity. After passing this village, there would be no such store.
She nodded: "Ah, let me try."
"please."
Zhao Liya got on her horse, Zhui Yu only shook instinctively, and quickly became docile under Zhou Hansheng's comfort.
Zhao Liya gradually relaxed, gently rubbed Zhuiyu's soft mane, smiled and praised softly: "It's so good! Its name is Zhuiyu? What a nice name."
"Well," Zhou Hansheng glanced at Zhui Yu with gentle eyes, "Miss Zhao, sit still."
"good!"
Zhou Hansheng led the horse and walked beside Zhui Yu. Zhao Liya sat up straight on the horse. The morning breeze blew gently, her black hair was flying, her clothes were moving lightly, and the gentle morning sun shone down slantingly, covering the world and surroundings.
It is a vast expanse of lush green mountain scenery...
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhao Nan suddenly felt that his young master and Miss Zhao were a perfect match. Not sure if it was an illusion or not. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He must have been crazy to think so!
A few of them shared a horse with Hu, and the group followed the mountain road and arrived at a village at the foot of the mountain in less than two-quarters of an hour.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Nan, Zhao Bei and the others were obviously very skilled in walking outside. They quickly found a suitable house and everyone went in together to borrow a place to rest.
After taking the money, the host happily cooked ginger soup, boiled water, made breakfast, and fed the horses...
By the time we had breakfast, it was almost ten o'clock.
Zhou Hansheng took Zhao Nan with Zhao Liya and Hu Ling, hired a donkey cart in the village, and headed to Gaolian County.
Zhou Hansheng's explanation was that Zhao Bei and the others had told them other matters, so they did not go ahead with it.
This was a private matter, and Zhao Liya didn't care at all. She nodded and said nothing.
Along the way, although Zhou Hansheng didn't talk much, Zhao Nan was a talker, but the uncle driving the car was also very talkative. As for Zhao Liya, as long as she was sure that the other party had no ill intentions and no danger, she would be happy to chat more.
After all, these days there are no Internet cables, no telephones, not even newspapers and magazines, and the flow of information is slow and blocked. It’s all messy, fragmentary, useful and useless information. It’s good to know more about it.
So along the way, I was not lonely at all.
When we arrived at the county seat, we still had more to say.
The driver driver hurriedly left home, and Zhao Liya and Hu Ling also said goodbye to Zhou Hansheng's master and servant.
Zhao Nan was hesitating whether to ask Miss Zhao where Brother Hu, the sworn brother and sister, lived. Maybe they would have time to pay a visit after finishing their business. After all, they got along so well along the way that Zhao Nan was a little reluctant to leave.
Already.
But I also feel that asking rashly would seem a bit abrupt?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard his young master say: "Miss Zhao, you—"
Before he could finish, Zhao Liya interrupted gently with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou, for taking care of me along the way. Let's say goodbye here! I wish Mr. Zhou a safe journey and all your wishes will come true."
They were exiles after all, and it would be unpleasant to tell them. Although Zhao Liya had an intuition that Master Zhou and his servants were not so short-sighted and only looked at people superficially, her status as an exile made it really difficult for her to have close friendship with others.
What's more, they are outsiders, so there is no need for this.
So when Zhou Hansheng seemed to want to ask about their address, Zhao Liya pretended to be a coincidence and interrupted.
Zhou Hansheng was stunned for a moment, a little caught off guard.
Zhao Nan was also dumbfounded and couldn't help lowering his head and snickering. When his young master was in Shuzhong, he attracted many girls to like him. He always rejected others with a cold face. He never thought that one day others would reject him!
And he even became an eyewitness himself!
This is incredible! I will tell my brothers later and I will envy them to death!
Zhou Hansheng actually didn't think much about it. He just saw Zhao Liya and Hu Ling had a good temperament and polite conversation, but their clothes were quite simple. He speculated that their family conditions might not be very good. He thought that after the matter was finished, he might be able to visit them and help.
busy.
Unexpectedly, I was rejected.
He knew that Miss Zhao must have guessed what he wanted to ask and interrupted on purpose.
Although he was a little confused and a little startled in his heart, he never liked to force others. Miss Zhao may have Miss Zhao's reasons, but in that case, that's all.
He nodded towards Zhao Liya: "Thank you, Miss Zhao, for your kind words."
Zhao Liya smiled: "This is it, goodbye, you two!"
"goodbye."
How nice that everyone bid farewell politely and decently and never see each other again.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling left quickly.
We are all not from the same place!
Zhao Liya suppressed the human regret and inexplicable sadness in her heart, and smiled at Hu Ling in a relaxed tone: "I'm finally back, let's go to the market to buy something, and then hire a donkey cart to go back!
My parents don’t know why they are so worried!”
Hu Ling smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go back quickly!"
Looking at the shadows on the ground, I estimate that it will be around four o'clock in the afternoon. It's not too early, but it's not too late either. You don't have to rush home.
It’s a rare trip to the county town, so of course I have to buy some delicious food back home.
The two bought two pig's trotters, about five or six kilograms of meat. The pig's trotters can be kept for tomorrow. Half of the meat is fat and half is lean. The leaner part will be eaten tonight and the fatter part will be used for refining oil.
I bought meat, three pieces of tofu, a large handful of lettuce and water spinach, weighed three or four kilograms of snacks, and then hired a car to go home.
They have plenty of money on hand, so they don't need to suffer unnecessary hardships. This chapter has been completed!
