Chapter 969: Ninety-Eighty-Seven Straightforward
Oh my God, what kind of person is this! How do you look like the legendary Rakshasa ghost? He was eight feet tall, standing there like a mountain, and his arms were thicker than his husband's waist, and he was extremely strong. On this cold day, he wore a single coat, and his arms were half open, revealing most of his chest, and the muscles on it were large and large, bulging and tall, dark in color, and seemed to be as hard and strong as black iron.
And more importantly, his face was pitch black, not much worse than the bottom of the pot, only the whites of his eyes and the teeth that showed when he grinned were extraordinarily white.
It was ten catties that pulled the cart.
He has been in Rock Fort for a long time, and he has been responsible for delivering bricks everywhere during this time, and he has long been accustomed to the appearance of others when they see him, but Rao is like this, seeing Zheng's frightened half-dead appearance, he still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He scratched his head and said in a humble voice: "Dare to ask if this is the homestead of Qian Yichuan's family?" Are you the lady of the Qian family who ordered bricks in the store? I was sent by the kiln factory to deliver bricks to you. ”
He opened his mouth and spoke the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, which was better than what Zheng and Qian Yichuan said.
As soon as Zheng heard that he was a Ming official, and although he looked ugly and dark, he seemed to be quite honest and honest, so he was relieved.
As soon as the fear passed, and as soon as he put his mind at ease, he suddenly became angry and screamed, "Did you get it? Didn't you say that you would send the bricks early this morning? Why didn't you send it now? I waited here for several hours, and the oil came out three pounds. ”
When she shouted, the baby in her arms cried a little louder, and Zheng was busy coaxing the child.
Shijin scratched his head, a little aggrieved in his heart, but he was honest and honest after all, so he still sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's mine." ”
Zheng looked at him like this, and didn't dare to seriously anger him, she was also afraid that she would really anger others, and after this punch, she and the child would have to explain here, so she didn't care about herself, and stopped talking after saying a few words.
Ten Jin didn't speak anymore, but turned around and began to unload the bricks for her, and it took half an hour to unload the bricks.
Zheng Shi glanced at it, glared, and said, "Why is it like this?" That's not all I set! ”
Ten catties were already afraid of her at this time, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Please wait, please wait, I can only pull these on this trip, there are still two cars of bricks for you in the kiln factory, and I have to make two trips to finish pulling, so I will go back and pull it for you." ”
As soon as he spoke, he turned around, and the one who pulled the cart and slipped away from the smoke was deserted.
Zheng stared at his back and said dissatisfiedly: "Why, am I so terrible?" Scared to leave? ”
Then, ten catties pulled two more trips before he could be regarded as pulling all the bricks that Zheng wanted.
By the time of the third trip, it was almost evening, after all, this trip back and forth, the distance was not too close, and people would inevitably go very slowly when pulling the car.
When the third trip of ten catties came, Zheng looked at his sweaty appearance, but felt that he was a little pitiful and a little cute, and he felt a little guilty about saying that he did before.
She took out the porcelain bowl and kettle she brought with her, poured him a bowl of water and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Big brother, look at you tired, drink saliva slowly!" That's why I said that about you, don't take it to heart! I'm a person who doesn't forgive people with my mouth. ”
Ten Jin smiled: "I can see it." ”
He was not polite, took a mouthful of drainage, and grinned: "Don't look at me sweating so much, I'm actually not tired." I can't do anything else, but I work hard, and it doesn't take much effort to pull the cart like this, but I sweat a lot. ”
Zheng Shi looked really like this, although he sweated a lot, his face was not red and he was not panting, and he looked very calm and relaxed. Of course, even if he blushes, he probably won't be able to see it.
Gudian is about eighty miles away from Rock Fort, and there is no official road in this distance.
In fact, before Dong Ce revitalized the Rock Castle, the Rock Castle was a neglected existence, and this stone-covered wasteland known as the Great Stone Valley was inconspicuous at all. Except for the occasional literati who climb Qingfeng Mountain to enjoy the scenery and chant poetry, even the people in the vicinity do not come here much.
It's strange that there is an official way.
In fact, the nearest official road to Rock Fort is almost ten miles away, but fortunately, most of the distance of these ten miles is flat land, and it is not difficult to walk.
This official road leads from Gudian to Zhenhe Fort, passing through the outside of the river valley where Shilipu is located, and it is about right between Shilipu and Panshi Fort. Strictly speaking, this official road is the section from Datong Town to Zhenhe Fort, and the section leading from Gudian to Zhenhe Fort is only a part of it.
At this time, on the official road, there is a huge convoy rolling on itself.
The scale of this caravan was so large that when you looked at it, you could roughly see that there were hundreds of carts in it, and they all looked like they were transporting goods. In addition to these carts and the charioteers, there were dozens of sturdy men, all on horseback, dressed like caravan guards.
In these years, the world is not quiet, there are many thieves and robbers, and it is normal for caravans to carry guards.
It's just that these people don't look like ordinary guards, they have an aura of iron and blood on their bodies, and their eyes are very cold. If Dong Ce was here, he should be able to judge that these should be veterans who have fought and killed people.
These carts are all very in a good situation, and the animals pulling the carts are not hard to look at, and they are pressed on the official road, and they do not leave much traces, obviously, these carts are empty, and there is no cargo in them.
The drivers also seemed to be very leisurely, chatting loudly while driving the car. However, their voices were not too loud, and the voices of a group of brocade-clothed people in front of the convoy were loud, and they let out a burst of arrogant laughter.
This group of men in brocade clothes is not very old, the oldest is only in his twenties, and the younger ones are only fifteen or sixteen. There were about seven or eight of them, each riding a tall steed that at a glance was worth a lot, and they were dressed quite luxuriously, and there were a dozen or so guards around them, who seemed to be very concerned about them.
Obviously, these were important people in the caravan.
One of them looked into the distance, and said impatiently: "It's been a long time since I entered the damn, why haven't you arrived?" Zhao Tiequan, where is the rock fort of Raushzi? How far is it? ”
The next sentence he asked was directed at a man in a green robe.
The man in the green robe was also dressed as a guard, and he seemed to be the leader of this group of guards, he was about thirty years old, tall and strong, and his body was very large, even if he sat on a horse, he was more than a head taller than others sitting on horses. If you get off the horse, I'm afraid it's even higher. His skeleton is extremely large, wide everywhere, strong everywhere, especially a pair of fists, which are as big as wine jars, and the bones are extremely thick, and they look full of power.
This is Zhao Tiequan, a well-known figure in Datong City, with a very loud name: Iron Fist is invincible. In the entire Datong City, there are hundreds of thousands of dart players and thugs, but if Zhao Tiequan wants to say that he is the second in kung fu, no one dares to call him the first.
It is said that he once smashed a stone slab with a single punch, and once broke a tree with a thick bowl mouth with a single punch. Of course, this is a rumor, and no one has heard of it.
I just don't know why he's here.
The one who asked was the youngest young man in a brocade robe, who was only half the age of Zhao Tiequan, looking at the weak little body, it was estimated that Zhao Tiequan could break his tendons and fracture him with one punch, and he would die with a whimper. But in the face of this brocade-clothed young man's very unceremonious inquiry, Zhao Tiequan was very respectful, he bent down slightly, and said with a smile: "The poor and remote place of the Rock Fort is indeed a little far away, but we have also walked most of the way, and we will be able to reach the Rock Fort in one hour at most." ”
"Hey, this poor countryman, I really don't know what the old man asked me to do here. After tossing on the road for two or three days, the master's bones were about to fall apart. After resting in the lonely shop for a night, I didn't even have the interest of finding a sister to accompany me, and I fell asleep, I was so fucking tired! The young man in brocade shouted dissatisfiedly.
