Chapter 216 It’s Snowing
"But do I care? Not at all. As long as we sell the goods, it doesn't matter whether he is arrogant or not!!" Lin Xiaoniu said with a beaming face.
Uncle Fang was listening vaguely on the mule cart in front, rolling his eyes speechlessly. He didn't know who was cursing in a low voice as soon as the people left! But, forget it, this time he had already performed well.
After leaving the city, they immediately got on the official road. There were always a lot of carriages and horses on the official road near the provincial capital, so the group drove very carefully.
But soon Lin Xiaoniu pulled the reins and looked at the middle-aged couple in front of him with a dark face who had rushed in front of the mule cart.
"Young man, can you give us a ride? We'll pay you in copper coins." The middle-aged woman said to Lin Xiaoniu with a bitter and wrinkled face.
"Yes, our car broke down and the driver left, so we really have no other choice." The middle-aged man next to him also echoed.
"There's another car coming from behind." Guangdan reminded his uncle with a gloomy face in time.
I only heard a cold snort: "No, get out of the way, don't block me here on purpose, or you'll ask me for money if you get caught by a mule!"
After Lin Xiaoniu finished speaking, he pulled the reins and drove the mule forward. The middle-aged woman was so scared that she staggered. The couple cursed at each other as the mule cart whizzed past.
In fact, this scene has appeared many times on the road. The middle-aged couple may have taken a fancy to this mule cart because of Lin Xiaoniu's young age, but they didn't know that Lin Xiaoniu was not a stupid boy.
"Hehehe, you are worthy of being my uncle." Guangdan started to praise him in the car with a laugh, making Lin Xiaoniu even more proud.
On the first night, we still found a farm inn to stay in. Because we were in a hurry to travel, we arrived at night after dark. We left home as soon as it was light in the early morning.
Fang Cuihua felt much more relaxed on the way back because the ox cart at home was handed over to Tiequan, so Fang Cuihua just chatted with Granny Wu and the two little girls along the way.
The first thing she did was to explain the family situation in detail to Mrs. Wu. Based on her observations over the past few days, Fang Cuihua knew that Mrs. Wu's previous employer was probably a family of some status, but as for her own family, well, she didn't know what to say.
But Fang Cuihua is Fang Cuihua after all, and in the end she still directly explained her poor family background.
This also surprised Mrs. Wu. According to her own understanding, she thought that the new master might be a country boy, but after hearing what the lady said, she felt that it was somewhat inconsistent with what the lady herself had shown.
Let alone anything else, which farmer would be willing to spend so much money to buy back these people?
With such doubts, Mrs. Wu was still extremely cautious along the way, but the two little girls quickly became familiar with Fang Cuihua.
Unlike her own daughters who are carefree and as spicy as a pepper, Mrs. Wu's eldest granddaughter is extremely shy. The little girl always purses her lips when she smiles.
The younger one cannot be seen for the time being, but he is very well-behaved. The one-year-old child does not make any noise or fuss, but occasionally hums a few times when he is uncomfortable. Fang Cuihua felt her heart melted when she saw it.
It even made her wonder if she should have another soft little one to play with?
After all, these people at home, how can I put it, each one is more opinionated than the other! It really makes the old mother feel like she doesn't exist!
Although we sped up all the way and rarely stopped, snow was still falling from the sky at noon on the third day, and the official road in the mountains was soon covered with a thin layer of white gauze.
"Oh, I couldn't hide no matter how hard I tried!" Guangdan sighed as he stretched his neck and looked at the dry snow outside the window.
"Don't get cold, it's okay. The snow isn't heavy. It'll be fine as long as the snow on the road is not higher than the mule's knees." Lin Xiaoniu's words seemed relaxed, but his tone was not optimistic.
"Well, it's okay. Our trip will definitely go smoothly! Amitabha! Patriarch Bodhi! Patriarch Tathagata! Avalokitesvara! Hallelujah! May your wishes come true! Mohammed-------"
Guangdan muttered to himself for a while, and then continued to stare at the snow outside with his big black eyes.
"Uncle, are you cold? Do you want to put on another piece of clothing?" Looking at Lin Xiaoniu who was still sitting at the front of the car in the cold snow, Guangdan asked with some concern.
"I have a stove on my feet and a stove in my hands, and only my eyes are exposed. How can it be cold? They say it's not cold when it snows, but when it melts." Lin Xiaoniu said this while sniffing his nose.
"Grandma Wu has some brown sugar ginger and wolfberries. You can continue to make tea with them while you take a break!" Guangdan said as he stretched his head to look at the ox cart behind.
At this time, the person sitting on the ox cart behind the mule cart was Tiechui, who was driving the cart without moving at all. A thin layer of snow covered his hat. If the ox cart had not been moving, Guangdan would have suspected that he had been frozen into a puppet.
"Tiechill, keep warm!" Guangdan shouted worriedly.
"Yeah." Tiequan blinked in response, then shook his cold calves.
Although Fang Cuihua only bought two old coats for Tiequan, later on, because he had to drive the carriage, she directly found a piece of leather from Lin Xiaoniu's clothes and wrapped it on him.
It's definitely still cold, but it's better than nothing.
But Tiequan didn't think so. He felt that everything seemed to be fine with the master now, except that he was a little soft-hearted. How could he let the young master's fur coat be given to a servant?
But will he say it? No, he is just nicer to the master!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to speed up, but it was an ox cart and I couldn't speed up at all!
Around mid-afternoon, the mountains on both sides were already covered in white. The team felt increasingly uneasy, and Hammer began to think about solutions to deal with the blizzard.
The pace of the mules and oxen became increasingly difficult as the snow accumulated, because in addition to the snow there was also ice. In addition to speeding up, they also had to worry about both the mules and the carts slipping and falling.
So the speed slowed down obviously afterwards, and when it was getting dark, they stayed overnight at a farmer's house near the official road. The cost of accommodation was much more expensive than when they came here.
But that's how it is on snowy days. The group no longer had the lively atmosphere they had at the beginning of the return journey. They were more focused on looking out the wooden windows and thinking about the snow outside.
"Mom, it's okay. It usually snows heavily here at the end of November. I don't think this snow will be serious. It will just waste some time at most. There won't be any other problems." Looking at Fang Cuihua with a worried look on her face, Guangdan persuaded her in a low voice.
"Yes, ma'am, don't worry. We have carts and mules. There's nothing to be afraid of." Mrs. Wu, who had become familiar with Fang Cuihua, also spoke softly beside her.
"Oh, I know. I'm just worried that my family will be anxious." Fang Cuihua said with a sigh. She didn't know if it was snowing at home. If it was, everyone in the house, young and old, would probably be very worried.
Also, this incident was actually initiated by my family. If something really happens on the way, it will be difficult to explain when I return. Not to mention other people in the village, my brother is still with me.
If something happened to her brother and Lin Xiaoniu, how would she have the face to go back?
Before she knew it, Fang Cuihua had thought of the worst possible scenario for everything, but in reality it was just a normal light snow.
