Chapter 127: Look
The next day, Master Decheng and his group followed behind the carriage.
At noon, the guard in front turned around and shouted to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "The hill ahead is most likely to drop debris, so walk faster.
"good."
After Shi Xiaoliu replied loudly, he whispered to Shi Zelan, "Do you feel that the air is much more moist?"
Shi Zelan nodded: "It will definitely rain here tonight."
In the carriage, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng exchanged glances and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, run to the front and tell the guards that the carriage must speed up."
Shi Xiaoliu jumped off the carriage and ran to the guard in front to pass on the message. The man laughed and said, "This is what I just told you."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at him, then ran forward to the leader of the guards and said, "Uncle, my master sent a message telling us to move forward faster."
After hearing what Shi Xiaoliu said, the guard leader looked serious and nodded at Shi Xiaoliu: "You should also be quick."
Shi Xiaoliu stopped by the roadside and heard the guard leader say, "Let the leading carriage start moving."
As the caravan's carriage accelerated, clouds of dust were raised on the official road, and Shi Xiaoliu had nowhere to hide.
When he got on the carriage, he said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, I have become a clay figure now."
"Pfft." Shi Zelan turned around and looked at him and smiled. With just a flick of her finger, the carriage went a little faster.
Half an hour later, the caravan carriage slowed down. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan had serious expressions on their faces, as they had heard the sound of rocks falling behind them.
“Boom boom boom.”
The horses in the caravan began to neigh. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other and realized that their horses seemed too calm among the herd of screaming horses.
Shi Xiaoliu didn't want to be exposed, so he could only float onto the horse's back so that when the people in front of him looked back, they would mistakenly think that he was comforting the horse.
Raindrops fell, and the horses of the caravan were almost calmed down. The guard in front turned his head and watched Shi Xiaoliu climb up onto the frame and sit down.
He turned around and said to the driver: "The horses in the mountains are really good, and the owners treat them very well."
Shi Zelan handed Shi Xiaoliu a straw raincoat. After Shi Xiaoliu put it on, he said to Shi Zelan, "We horses can't stay out of the rain, right?"
Shi Zelan glanced at him and walked towards the carriage. She said to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng inside: "Uncle Master, Master, the rain is getting heavier. I will open the shed a little."
"Okay, pull the straw on the carriage forward and support it with bamboo poles until it can cover the front of the carriage."
In the eyes of outsiders, Shi Zelan pulled out several bamboo poles from the roof of the carriage, and she quickly propped up a shed for the carriage and covered the horse's head with a straw raincoat.
After she finished doing these things and sat down, the sky became darker and the rain became heavier.
In the carriage, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng sighed and said, "We do have a good relationship with them."
The guard in front came over and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "There is a dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountain ahead. Our leader wants to go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to take shelter from the rain."
"No." Master Decheng lifted the curtain and walked out, motioning Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan to return to the carriage.
He sat on the frame and said to the guards, "Tell your leader that today, no matter what, we have to move forward.
If he believes me, just keep going. If you can't believe me, we have to move on. ”
The guard saluted Master Chong Decheng, then galloped forward and told the leader the news. The leader inquired carefully and thought for a moment: "I believe him, let's go forward."
The caravan continued to move forward, and the driver and the leader said, "Boss, we don't go up the mountain to the Taoist temple to take shelter from the rain. There is no place to take shelter ahead."
The leader of the guards said, "Keep going until the horses can't move anymore."
The caravan kept moving forward until the horses were exhausted and stopped by the roadside.
The leader of the guards walked to the back and saw Master Decheng sitting on the frame with a serious expression. His mood suddenly became a little bad.
"Brother Cheng, our horses need to rest for a while before we can move forward."
After examining his face, Master Decheng sighed and said, "We mountain people are always prone to overthinking. I just stopped you from going to the Taoist temple on the mountain."
The head of the guard smiled and said, "We usually go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to spend the night, and it's sunny."
Master Decheng looked at him and nodded, saying, "You are very good. You are willing to trust others."
The wind and rain were very strong, and the mountain road was not a good place to stay. The leader of the guards said they would move on soon.
Master Decheng said to him sincerely: "After you return home safely, you can rest at home for two or three years before coming out.
You can always make enough money, but your family also needs your company. ”
The leader of the guards reached out from his bosom and took out a bunch of silver and gave it to Master Decheng: "Please give me some advice, Master."
Master Decheng thought for a moment and took the silver: "You are sincere and lucky, and our meeting you is an inevitable fate.
Remember what I just said. Spending two or three years at home to accompany and teach your children is more worthwhile than earning money hard outside. ”
The head of the guard nodded and said to Master Decheng, "I have been traveling outside all year round these years and have indeed neglected my family."
"It's not easy for you. The woman in your family is virtuous. She has had a hard time too. A good wife is hard to come by. You should cherish her."
The leader of the guards walked forward in a trance. He did not notice that Master Decheng casually pinched the silver into a fat ingot.
After a while, the caravan continued to move forward. The drivers were exhausted, but they believed what their leader said. Today's wind and rain were so strong that they were really frightening, so they had to move forward.
In the carriage, Master Shanzheng sighed, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances, and Shi Xiaoliu whispered, "We won't go with the caravan anymore."
Shanzheng Zhenren looked at him and smiled: "Even if this incident doesn't happen, something else will happen. Let's just let it happen."
Shi Zelan thought for a while and asked Shan Zheng Zhenren: "Master, is it true that this caravan was originally going to encounter disaster during this trip?"
"Yes, they were originally in great danger, but the leader of the guards was very kind and warned us yesterday that the road ahead was difficult.
Today on the road, someone specifically reminded us of the dangers ahead.
He did it on the first day, so we have to do it on the fifteenth. ”
Shi Zelan listened to Master Shanzheng's words and sighed, "Master, if they avoid this disaster today, things will be better in the future."
"It's not over for today. The wind and rain outside are so loud that we can only move forward.
Your uncle-master is watching outside, but he cannot go against the will of heaven. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan pulled open the door curtain, looked at the sky that was getting darker, and looked at the lantern hanging on the carriage in front of them.
Shi Zelan said to Master Shanzheng, "Master, I want to go to the front and take a look."
