Copper Coins Chapter 38: The troupe (3)

The road from Guanyin Ferry to the northern county has many low mountains. Because of the slippery roads in snowy days, the mountain roads are not so easy to walk. Some roads are even blocked due to snow, so they have to find other detours.

This is what the scar-faced man is facing now—

The position where the leading carriage stopped and its dangers, one zhang away, is the fractured cliff mouth. There were originally two bridges across the cliff mouth, leading to the two mountain roads in front. Go around the unclimbable mountain ahead.

"What happened?" Xue Xian let out his breath on Xuan Min's neck, and his heart became calmer. He didn't pretend to be nothing, turned his head and pushed open the carriage door, and asked with his head out. Said: "Can you help me?"

The scar-faced man shouted at him from a distance: "It's okay, it's just that the bridge I originally planned to cross is broken, so I have to go around the other side of the mountain..."

The leading horse snorted constantly on the edge of the cliff, looking restless. If it hadn't stopped the man in time just now, it might have rolled off the edge of the cliff.

"Why did the bridge break so well?" An old man got out of the carriage in front, "Is the intersection right? What did I say? I have to give you this old horse that knows the way. Are you holding the direction?"

"Old Li Tou, you are running against me again, I still recognize this way." The scarred-faced man said: "Get in the car, you can't commit it, and if you look back, your throat will freeze and you won't be able to sing."

Xue Xian saw that the old man surnamed Li did not return to the carriage as he said, but stepped on the snow and walked to the leading carriage, glanced at it, and cried out with a groan, "You sin. , how could it be cut so completely... tsk, can I only go to the east side?"

Whether it's this old man Li or the man with scarred face, when he talks about going the other way, his tone is so reluctant, as if walking that way can save 800 years of life .

Xue Xian Erli was different from ordinary people. He could hear their conversation clearly, so he asked aloud: "Is the road to the east difficult to walk?"

It didn't take much effort for him to speak, but his voice was clearly blown by the mountain wind mixed with the fine snow to the ears of the two people in front of the car.

The two were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads and shouted at Xue Xian: "It's okay, don't worry, it's just that the road to the east has to be detoured a bit, and there are always gravel Huaxia on them, but if you are careful, you can walk. .”

"Is it all right?" Jiang Shining in the car was still worried.

Xue Xian looked at the expressions of the two people in front of the car through the fine snow, squinted his eyes and slowly shook his head, and said, "There is nothing wrong with the expressions of those two, but...it's hard to say, let's follow first. Let them go."

Xuan Min, who had seldom spoken beside him, lifted the curtain: "It's okay, I'll watch."

His voice was calm and calm, inexplicably reassuring everyone in the car. Even Xue Xian, who had been talking to him for the past few days, had to admit that, if nothing else, this bald donkey could at least solve the trouble.

As soon as this thought flashed through the old man's mind, he fell into a speechless silence: ... how could he use the word "handy" to describe this bald donkey...

After all, these words are used to describe what you own - you have to hold it in your hand before you can take it out, don't you?

Xue Xian slammed the car door with a blank face, thought for a moment, and felt that he probably took the wrong mouse medicine.

However, the bald donkey is only a mere mortal. When he returns to normal, he will be able to play with him with ease. So...

Don't talk about holding it in your hand, even if you put it in your mouth, it's just a matter of opening your mouth and closing your mouth, what's the matter!

This ancestor thought shamelessly, and immediately became confident.

He played a big fight in his mind, and he gave Xuan Min a lukewarm look in the car.

Xuan Min, who knew nothing about his brain tonic, was baffled.

He has always had a cold temperament, and naturally does not pay attention to the so-called glances and expressions of others. He thought that this ancestor was really hot, and it was not pleasing to the eyes of anyone, and he didn't intend to add fuel to the fire. He just glanced at it and went to continue to look outside the curtain.

To a certain extent, his move is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire in another sense.

Xue Xian felt itchy inexplicably when Xue Xian saw that the weather was freezing cold and the frost and snow did not melt. It was so itchy that he wanted to fight him directly. Although he himself felt that this was indeed a bit unreasonable, after all, it was not the first day that he had known Xuanmin.

It's as if the infuriating qi roamed around in the veins, but suddenly got stuck in a certain place. There was no serious illness or pain, but it was a little unsmooth.

The heat in the body re-transpired into a new wave, and the river waves turned up layer after layer, each time it didn't take long to ease, as if there was no end.

Annoying.

The Scarfaced man was holding on to the reins, trying to lead the lead horse to the bridge to the east. But that horse was even more irritable than Xue Xian, snarling and neighing one after another, circling back and forth on the edge of the cliff, but refused to take a step forward.

"I've been beaten, I've been cheated, I've been coaxed, why don't you want to move forward? It wasn't like this before. It's strange." muttered.

"Today I'm very difficult to handle. Don't they all say that horses have spirituality? Maybe it was because I was frightened and felt that the road ahead was dangerous, so I didn't want to leave." The scar-faced man said something, but he still patted He patted the horse's neck and rubbed it both softly and hard, which made the horse step forward reluctantly.

The wheels slowly began to move, and Old Man Li hurriedly ran back to the carriage where he was staying, but for some reason his expression was always dazed and worried. Before getting into the car, he happened to look up to see Xue Xian, so he temporarily restrained his expression and said comfortably: "It's okay, the horse won't run, it's a little delayed, the car will start moving."

The temporary accident on the way seems to be solved like this. It is indeed a little troublesome, but it is much better than what Jiang Shining and the others are faintly worried about.

Xue Xian nodded to the old man Li, as a greeting, and then sat there with his arms folded as soon as the door closed. He didn't have the intention of continuing to take Xuanmin and purging the fire, and he didn't speak, which made him look extra lazy.

The bridge that the scar-faced man walks on is actually wider than the broken one. The cart pulled by the donkey slowly rolls over it, and there is a margin left beside it, which does not appear to be that dangerous.

Since hitting this mountain pass, the leading horse has become a little bit worse than before, always stopping and going.

From time to time, you can hear reassurances and reprimands from the front. The neighing of impatient horses, the screeching of wheels on the snow, and the occasional sound of whips mingled together.

"Is it alright? Why can't I calm down at all?" Jiang Shining sat like a needle in the car, his face was full of gloom, and his usual slow look was different.

He was worried for a while, and he seemed to realize that something was wrong with him, and hesitantly said, "Why am I so panicked since I entered this mountain?"

"The yin is heavy." Xue Xian said in a calm tone.

He usually speaks more or less with a bit of tone, either sarcastic or teasing. His emotions are rich and varied, and he can't stop listening to it.

Right now, this kind of tone with no emotion is very rare among others, and it makes people feel that the atmosphere is not right.

Jiang Shining felt that it was best for him to keep his mouth shut for now, so as not to offend the ancestor. But Xue Xian's concise three words aroused more unease in him.

What is Yin Qi?

Xue Xian didn't say anything, but Lu Nianqi touched the wooden branch in his hand and said one more sentence: "If I remember correctly, the boatman said that the Anqing Mansion was shaking and the mountain collapsed."

"Huh?" Jiang Shining turned to look at him.

Lu Twenqi turned his head expressionlessly, and said to him quietly: "Do you think some people will be crushed to death on the mountain?"

Jiang Shining: "..."

I don't know if this kid is intentionally scary or what, this sentence makes it feel like a ghost story.

Stone Zhang looked like he was about to cry again, "How old is your child? Don't imitate others to scare people!"

Lu Twenqi rolled his eyes with restraint and silently touched his wooden branch.

Xue Xian's palms were so hot that he almost became hot, but he still sat there motionless, with his eyes half-squinted lazily. He didn't mean to be a demon anymore. Some people are not used to it.

The carriage was quiet for a while, maybe it was Jiang Shining's illusion, he felt that the quietness was a bit boring...

This mountain road is extremely slow, and I don't know what happened to the horse. At first, I occasionally ran two steps, and then it became a walk, and then it became a move...

About half an hour passed before the ink was halfway up the mountain.

Xuan Min kept pushing the curtain with his fingers and looked out of the car calmly.

Xue Xian's palm is actually very uncomfortable, and it can't even be described as hot. He half-drooped his eyes, and had no intention of touching things to cool off.

Once there's no fuss, it's all a little lost.

This heat is not completely unbearable, love it or not.

He hummed quietly.

Just when the burning burning sensation began to creep along the wrist to other parts, a slightly thin palm suddenly appeared in front of him.

Xue Xian was stunned for a while, then lifted his eyelids and looked around. Seeing Xuan Min's right hand holding the edge of the curtain between his two fingers, his eyes did not move at all, and he was still looking out of the car as calmly as water, but his left hand was spread out in front of Xue Xian, palm facing up.

Somehow, Xue Xian's heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly regained his senses, and subconsciously used that cool tone again, and said, "Why are you suddenly showing off your hand?"

Xuan Min finally withdrew his gaze briefly, and glanced at his arms holding his arms, "Don't use things to dissipate heat?"

After he finished speaking, he looked out of the car with a light expression, but his palm was still spread out in front of Xue Xian and did not take it back.

The qi that was blocked suddenly went straight.

Xue Xian looked down at the palm with the last bit of air in his hand, biting the tip of his tongue and frowning as if he was pondering for a moment. Then he picked his chin and said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, it's rare for you to say something back... Then I'll be welcome."

As soon as these words came out, he shamelessly stretched out two claws, one grabbed the palm that Xuan Min sent him to enjoy the cool, and the other pushed his nose up to greet Xuan Min's face.

Pressed back by Xuan Min.

Xue Xianzheng sighed comfortably, dissipating the heat, but suddenly frowned when he looked at Xuan Min who was outside the car.

"What?" As soon as Xue Xian raised his head, he saw his expression, and he simply crossed Xuan Min and looked through the gap in the curtain.

The mountain road is curved. From their angle, they can just see that on the lower mountain road, there is a pile of gravel that has slipped from the mountain, blocking the long road. Press something...

"Why do I think that... it's a carriage? There's no one else in the car, right?!" Jiang Shining couldn't help but look up. His position was really inconvenient, and he almost broke his neck before he could see a few corners.

"It's a carriage..." Xue Xian replied, and said quietly: "Look again, does that carriage look familiar to you?"

Jiang Shining was taken aback. He stayed for a while, and suddenly understood the reason why Xue Xian told them not to be too close to the scar-faced man-

"You mean...they...they all..."

"Shh—" Xue Xian interrupted him, "When you meet someone like this, a certain word is taboo, it's hard to say, and you wake up as soon as you say it."

He paused, then added, "I can't let them see..."

Xue Xian paused for a while, and raised his chin to the outside of the curtain, "Otherwise, there will be no stopping."

However, the carriage had already gone there. It was only one way up and down the mountain, and the mountain road was narrow, so there was no way to turn back halfway.

"How could we not meet?!" Jiang Shining's heart was cold.
