Outside the pavilion and beside the ancient road, the green grass stretches to the sky.
Outside the pavilion ten miles outside Pingcheng, Shi Dahe was waiting there with five people riding tall horses. They were all strong men in their thirties, riding tall horses, dressed up and saluting. They were obviously going on a long journey. .
Shi Dahe and the other five people were waiting for Jiang Sihai, but they were not anxious. They were either sitting leisurely talking and laughing, or making some tea in the pavilion.
There was a carriage parked a few steps away from the river. In one of the carriages, a man in his forties stuck his head out and asked eagerly and impatiently: "Brother Dahe, has this escort Jiang come here?" , it’s already three o’clock in the morning, and if it’s too late, we won’t be able to catch up with the inn.”
It's dark and the road is far away today. If you miss the inn, you will have to sleep in the wild.
When Shi Dahe heard this, he turned around and smiled at the man: "Don't be anxious, steward. Brother will be there in a moment. You can't miss him." He and his eldest brother parted ways. He went to his employer's house to pick up the steward, and The eldest brother went to Xiao's house.
"But hurry up!" Guanshi Yu muttered helplessly. It was useless to be impatient until the escorts started.
"Coming, coming." A man on a horse said pointing forward.
Shi Dahe listened to the voice and looked around. Jiang Sihai was leading the way. Two men on the left and right also rode tall horses, followed by two large carriages. They were coming.
"Brother." Shi Dahe beat his horse and went to meet Jiang Sihai.
"Yes." Jiang Sihai nodded, his face a little dark, but for no other reason, it turned out that his mother, whom he had pinned his hopes on, actually agreed to let his little sister travel with him. What his mother meant was that Dr. Xiao would have his little sister to accompany him and have someone to talk to to relieve his boredom along the way. of.
"Doctor Xiao, Third Sister." Shi Dahe greeted, looking at Xiao Ming on the carriage with some joy. This group of people traveled a long distance and it was much more convenient to have a doctor accompanying them.
Talking about the important life of a doctor on the road, during a long-distance escort, a brother suffered from dysentery. The neighbors in the wilderness had no way to call for help, so he died on the road. From then on, they would hire a brother for long-distance escort. A doctor accompanied him.
Originally there was a doctor in their escort agency, but unfortunately he was a man.
Speaking of which, Shi Dahe murmured in his heart that this time the master's family was too strange. They actually asked to bring a doctor, preferably a woman with Tongqihuang technique. Not only did they only know one female doctor, Xiao Ming.
Just because the manager was going to pick up the young lady they were raising in the country.
"Let's go." Jiang Sihai greeted. Dang was at the front, followed by Shi Dahe, followed by three carriages. There were also seven bodyguards from the Sihai Escort Agency riding horses to protect them on both sides of the carriage.
Manager Yu lowered the car curtain and breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for a long time, the convoy finally set off.
The carriage prepared by Jiang Sihai was large, simple, and made of solid materials. The interior of the carriage was very spacious. Xiao Ming and the three of them could sit down and one person could lie on their sides. There was a small square table in the middle with small dark grids on both sides. People can sit on top and items can be placed on the bottom.
Jiang Xiangyuan drove the two women sent by her eldest brother into the salute car at the back. Only Xiao Ming, Li'er and she were left in the car. She was very excited along the way and chatted with Xiao Ming and Li'er.
"Look at that cornfield. When I was in the fishing village, I liked to break it and burn it. It's tender, fragrant, and delicious." Jiang Xiangyuan was like a wild horse out of its cage, very excited, pointing Talking to the cornfields on both sides.
"It's a pity that my mother beats me up every time, and then drags me to pay someone else's money."
Xiao Xiao is so funny, this little naughty kid, corn is a ration for poor people and cannot be eaten before it is ripe, but she is actually eating it for fun.
"I haven't been out for a long time." Jiang Xiangyuan sighed. She has never traveled far since she left the fishing village.
"Don't you think this journey is hard?" Xiao Ming leaned aside and asked, looking at the scenery along the coast. To be honest, everything is good here. The air is fresh and the food is original. The only disadvantage is that the transportation is inconvenient. There are no computers, cell phones, electricity or other modern things.
This place is different from modern times. What was a few hours or a day's journey in the past life is now a month or more. If she were to walk here for a month or ride in a carriage for a month, all the bones in her body would be broken.
"It's not hard! It's quite fun." Jiang Xiangyuan said, not feeling like she was sitting on a rickety carriage at all.
Xiao Ming pursed her lips and smiled. Jiang Xiangyuan did not look like an ancient boudoir woman at all. She behaved in a carefree manner and spoke and acted like a big sister. Sometimes Xiao Ming would wonder if she had passed through time.
"By the way, where are they going this time? What is the mission? I don't know yet?" Jiang Xiangyuan asked. She didn't know what kind of escort her brother had taken this time, she just followed him happily. .
Xiao Ming·····
This girl~~~
My heart is so big~~
"I heard that Brother Jiang said that this time he was going to a small town to pick up the daughter of a wealthy family." Xiao Ming said that since the founding emperor Yue Taizu was appointed as the Dabao, many places have changed, especially the place names, which are completely different. She couldn't match the number in her previous life, so she didn't know exactly where Xiyue was.
Jiang Sihai once introduced her to the potassium escort this time, mainly to protect her employer's safety. She only knew that it was probably going southwest, and the specific location was in a small town in West Vietnam. The journey was a bit long, and because of the girl's health Weak, he has been raised in the ancestral home since he was a child, so he decided to invite Xiao Ming to come with him.
The team marched until three quarters past noon without stopping. Jiang Sihai rode at the front, paying attention to the quiet ground in front of him from time to time. He saw a small teahouse in front of him from a distance, with green smoke curling up and old tea sails blowing in the wind. , is a row of small tea sheds located on the side of the road. The tea sheds are simple, but the advantage is that there is a wide area in front for parking horses.
Jiang Sihai waved his hand and said to everyone: "Everyone is taking a rest and eating some dry food."
"Servant, here's the tea." Shi Dahe shouted after entering the tea shed, and then asked the brothers to sit down.
The escorts of Sihai Escort Agency have always been well-trained. They sat down around the table and started eating with dry food and tea.
The two ladies from the Sihai Escort Agency, one surnamed Fang and the other surnamed Cheng, both worked for the Sihai Escort Agency at home. They were young, strong and honest in their duties. This time, they were chosen by Jiang Sihai to serve Xiao Ming all the way. , the two of them were extremely lucky, and the wages paid by the escort agency were not low.
The two of them wiped the oil stains on the stool and table clean, and then the old lady named Fang smiled and said: "Doctor Xiao, Miss, please sit down and have a rest." Old lady Cheng went to the car to get her own food. Tea came for Xiao Ming and the others.
Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan sat down and looked at the two women from the Sihai Escort Agency who were still standing, so they said: "Aunt Fang, Aunt Cheng, please sit down. You are not so particular when you are out. I will bother you to take care of you in the future." .”
"Doctor Xiao, you're welcome. This is our responsibility." Mrs. Fang said politely. When they were in Xiao Ming's courtyard, she and Mrs. Cheng accepted the red envelopes that Yi's mother secretly stuffed into them. After taking it apart on the carriage, it was discovered that it contained banknotes, a full twenty taels of silver per person.
It only costs twenty taels of silver just before I go out. Why don't Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Cheng be more attentive?
The two shied away several times before sitting together and eating the food Xiao Ming brought back from home.
