Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

This time, Xiaoyue dressed herself up as an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman who had no worries about food and clothing. She looked about 40 years old. She wore a new fine cotton dress and a silver hairpin on her head.

She was afraid that if she was dressed too poorly it would be difficult to hire a carriage.

When it was almost dawn, Xiaoyue checked the time in her space. It was not yet six o'clock. There were more and more people on the road, so she left the space.

As soon as I walked out of the woods, I saw three horses running towards me from the direction of Qingniu Town.

It seemed like it had just started to speed up after leaving the town, so the speed was not very fast. However, Xiaoyue still moved sideways to avoid it.

As they passed by her, the masked man glanced at her quickly, so quickly that she wouldn't have noticed if she hadn't noticed.

The feeling reminded her of the gaze she received when she first entered the woods, and it was also a little... familiar.

The familiar feeling didn't seem to be due to the gaze in the woods.

But she couldn't tell what was familiar about it.

The three men were dressed in ordinary clothes, but the horses they rode were tall, strong and powerful, obviously top-quality horses.

Except for the masked man, the other two looked to be in their twenties or thirties, with ordinary looks.

Looking at the backs of the three people walking away, Xiaoyue felt that apart from the outstanding horses, the people on the horses were too ordinary in both their clothes and appearance.

In this era, horses are definitely a luxury for ordinary people.

Maybe they are deliberately keeping a low profile.

This road was the official road leading to Shangjing City. The three men were dusty and had luggage on their horses, probably because they were in a hurry.

The original owner couldn't even recognize all the young ladies of similar age from official families in the capital city, let alone the others.

If you can't remember, then don't think about it.

You can't make things difficult for yourself.

Besides, in that familiar feeling, Xiaoyue didn't feel any hostility, at most it was a bit of exploration.

Xiaoyue entered Qingniu Town and asked for the location of the carriage and horse shop. As a result, she could smell the smell of sesame cakes in the air from a distance.

When I got closer, I saw a wonton stall next to the sesame cake stall.

About ten steps away from these two stalls, there is a carriage and horse shop.

Xiaoyue was not hungry at first, but she became hungry after being stimulated by the aroma of the sesame cakes and the round and plump wontons.

Xiaoyue, who is a man of action, bought a bowl of wontons and two sesame cakes without hesitation.

After eating and drinking, Xiaoyue packed ten more pancakes.

At this time, the carriage and horse business also opened.

If it weren't for the sign of the carriage and horse business on it, Xiaoyue really couldn't tell what the three shops facing the street were doing.

As soon as Xiaoyue entered, it happened that only the shopkeeper was there, so she stepped forward and greeted everyone in a very friendly manner.

He took Xiaoyue to the backyard, and Xiaoyue saw six or seven men dressed the same gathered together. They seemed to be the drivers here, waiting for work. Some of them were chatting, some were eating and drinking. Only one person was sitting there silently with his head down, looking a little lonely.

To Xiaoyue, they felt a bit like modern taxi drivers waiting together for work.

Xiaoyue's eyes swept over the few people.

As a result, when Xiaoyue's sight was about to leave, the silent man actually looked up.

I didn't expect that person to be so sensitive.

Although there was a flash of alertness in that person's eyes, there was no disgust or malice, nor was there any murderous intent.

It’s good to be alert.

He must be an interesting person.

Xiaoyue had no intention of being caught while peeping, so she gave the man a kind smile in response.

"Boss, is that the driver of your place?"

The owner of the carriage shop followed Xiaoyue's gaze and said, "Aunt, you have a good eye. Although he walks with a limp, he is a good driver. He is honest and simple, and he doesn't talk much. He also has some skills. You will be safe wherever you go."

The shopkeeper's words contain a lot of information.

"Is it?"

Xiaoyue just accidentally looked at that person a little more.

Haha, you also know Kung Fu?

Seeing that Xiaoyue didn't reply, the shopkeeper was afraid that she would think too much, so he explained a few more words: "Don't worry, Auntie, our drivers are all absolutely reliable locals. They live in the village below the town and have been driving here for a while. Every time, the client is satisfied."

"His driving skills are among the best in our area, and he rides horses well. He was a soldier before, and was injured on the battlefield, which is why he has a limp. He is definitely a good person, and his leg is not caused by fighting."

"Oh."

"Then let him go. Come with me to Xinghua County."

"Good."

"Ah Zhen, go to Xinghua County with this aunt."

When the shopkeeper heard Xiaoyue readily called out Niu Zhen's name, his face showed obvious joy, and his voice, which was deliberately raised by two points, was filled with joy.

Because most customers would dislike Niu Zhen's legs and refuse to use him, and some would even bargain with their horse-drawn carriage companies because of his legs.

Niu Zhen is a skilled cart driver, he is honest and reliable, and he also knows martial arts. If the journey is long or at night, he is the best choice.

So sometimes when he was rejected by customers, he would say a few good words for Niu Zhen, and he would also help recommend customers who were easy to talk to.

It's rare to see an aunt as straightforward and generous as the one today.

Xiaoyue heard the joy in the shopkeeper's voice and thought that she was his first order of the day, so she didn't think much about it.

When Niu Zhen heard the shopkeeper calling him, he stood up and walked over here.

Sure enough, when this person walked, he took one deep step and one shallow step, and his limp was very obvious.

Niu Zhen walked over here and met Xiaoyue's gaze. He found that she didn't show any disdain, but was kind and friendly. His originally wooden face relaxed a little.
