Li Huan put his phone into his waist bag, covered the food bucket, and prepared to board the vehicle.
"Wait a minute!" Hu Sanniang asked, "What are your names?"
Li Huan replied, "My surname is Li and my given name is Huan. His surname is Wu and his given name is Song!"
Hu Sanniang was startled: "The tiger-slaying hero of Yanggu County, Wu Song, Wu the Chief Constable?"
Wu Song clasped his hands in greeting: "It is indeed I."
Hu Sanniang looked on with admiration and quickly clasped her hands in greeting, saying, "I have long admired your name, my apologies for not being more respectful."
Wu Song smiled calmly.
Hu Sanniang asked, "Why is Wu Dutou, who works at the county government, partnering with Li Huan to set up a stall?"
Wu Song declared loudly, "I am no longer a constable; I am wholeheartedly following Brother Huan and helping him set up a stall to sell boxed lunches!"
Hu Sanniang was very puzzled. Why would this upright tiger-slaying hero refuse to work as a government official and instead be content to be a small-time merchant?
Li Huan urged, "Third sister, get on your horse. Don't waste time; it's almost noon."
Hu Sanniang walked towards the white horse, then suddenly stopped and turned back to ask, "Li Huan, where is your horse?"
Li Huan pointed to the electric tricycle: "Song Ge and I ride in the tricycle, not on horseback."
Hu Sanniang said, "What I'm asking about is the horses pulling the carriage!"
She looked around, thinking the horses pulling the cart were grazing nearby.
Li Huan smiled without answering, quickly got into the car, turned on the ignition, and drove forward five or six meters.
Then, Li Huan stuck his head out of the car window and said to Hu Sanniang behind the car, "Sister, did you see clearly? My car doesn't need to be pulled by horses!"
Overwhelmed with curiosity, Hu Sanniang hurriedly asked, "May I ride in the carriage?"
Li Huan said, "The cockpit can only accommodate two people. If you want to go for a drive, sit in the back."
Wu Song said, "Please sit inside the cabin, young lady, and show Huan-di the way. I will ride her white horse."
Li Huan nodded approvingly. Wu Song was good; he had a very gentlemanly demeanor.
Hu Sanniang walked quickly to the car door, staring at the window, unsure how to open it.
Li Huan leaned forward, reached out and pushed open the car door, then patted the seat.
Hu Sanniang boarded the carriage and took her seat, looking left and right with a thirst for knowledge in her eyes.
Li Huan demonstrates by fastening the seatbelt.
Hu Sanniang asked in surprise, "Why are you binding yourself with strips of cloth?"
Li Huan patiently explained, "This strap can secure you to your seat and prevent injury in case of a collision."
Hu Sanniang laughed and said, "I've never been injured while riding a horse to fight the enemy, let alone sitting in a carriage?"
Without wasting any words, Li Huan immediately started the car and accelerated suddenly.
Wu Song rode his horse and followed closely behind.
After driving about 100 meters, a ditch suddenly appeared in front of him, and Li Huan slammed on the brakes!
In an instant, Hu Sanniang's body lurched forward, her chest slamming into the dashboard, causing her to wince in pain.
Li Huan suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone, "You've never been injured while riding a horse to fight the enemy, so why are you in so much pain while sitting in the carriage?"
Hu Sanniang clutched her chest, her face flushed.
Li Huan added, "Next time, wear thick armor when you ride in the car so your chest won't hurt from the impact. Be a good boy and wear your seatbelt today!"
Hu Sanniang then listened to the advice and, under Li Huan's guidance, fastened her seatbelt.
Li Huan admired Hu Sanniang's seatbelt and made a subtle joke.
"Forgive my poor eyesight before, but I can see it now: even with the seatbelt on, Third Sister's figure is indeed slender!"
Hu Sanniang understood the meaning of the words, blushed with embarrassment, and hurriedly pointed the way for Li Huan.
"Enough talk! Drive on! Head west!"
After driving over the ditch, Li Huan accelerated and sped westward!
The scenery outside the carriage window flashed by like a phantom, and Hu Sanniang experienced a different sense of speed than when riding a horse.
As the road gradually widened and became flatter, Hu Sanniang also experienced a different kind of comfort than when riding in a carriage.
After all, the upgraded electric tricycle has a more effective hydraulic shock absorber.
Li Huan pondered as he drove.
I understand now. The reason the system sent me on a fast-track journey to the mountains was so that I could have a chance encounter with Hu Sanniang!
This is similar to the scenario where someone travels to Wu Dalang's house and gets hit by a bamboo pole by Pan Jinlian.
Since it's a systematic arrangement, let's make full use of Hu Sanniang's role and let her set up a stall and sell boxed lunches in Zhujiazhuang!
At the same time, one must cultivate a serious relationship with Hu Sanniang and completely change her fate...
Ten minutes later, we arrived at Dulonggang.
Not far away, a stone city wall stands tall and majestic, built on the hilltop.
The city wall is surrounded by a moat, and the gate of the village is equipped with a drawbridge.
"This is Zhu Family Village!" Hu Sanniang introduced.
Li Huan gently applied the brakes, stopped by the riverbank, and waited for Wu Song to arrive from behind.
Hu Sanniang's eyes sparkled as she observed the blue-glowing LCD dashboard with an envious expression.
Li Huan deliberately said, "Third sister, how about you ride in my electric tricycle on your wedding day?"
A double entendre.
Hu Sanniang only thought that Li Huan blushed when he talked about her marriage to Zhu Biao.
"This car is red, which is quite festive. It would be suitable as a wedding car."
Hu Sanniang said with a smile, stretching out her finger and pressing the red button.
Beep beep!
The loud horn startled Hu Sanniang!
She instinctively stood up, but was restrained by the seatbelt, making her figure appear even more alluring.
Hearing the commotion, the soldiers on the city wall looked down and shouted questions.
"Who is in front of the village?"
Not knowing how to open the car door, Hu Sanniang quickly stuck her head out of the window and called out, "I am Hu Sanniang!"
Soon, the suspension bridge was lowered.
A group of soldiers, armed with knives, spears, and clubs, ran out of the village gate and stared curiously at the electric tricycle.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Song rode up on horseback and opened the car door for Hu Sanniang.
After getting off the car, Hu Sanniang, following Li Huan's instructions, stood in the back of the carriage and continued to lead the way.
