Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

Chapter 40 The Coachman Niu Zhen

The shopkeeper was afraid that after Xiaoyue saw Niu Zhen's expression, he would observe her expression anxiously like other customers did.

Until Niu Zhen walked up to the two of them, Xiaoyue didn't dislike him, nor was she unhappy, and she didn't even say anything about changing people or bargaining. This made the shopkeeper feel that Ah Zhen's business today should be secure! So he quickly said:

"Ah Zhen, follow this aunt to Xinghua County. After arriving in Xinghua County, go to Yunlai Inn. Follow the same old rules and wait for the afternoon job."

"Eh."

"Auntie, please come this way."

Niu Zhen agreed to the shopkeeper's request, then turned to Xiaoyue and respectfully asked Xiaoyue to follow him.

This man has a simple and honest face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark yellow skin, tall stature, and a resolute gaze. If he were to wear armor, he would look heroic. It is used to describe his thinness, perhaps because his life is not easy.

Unfortunately, the legs...

As a doctor, Xiaoyue has some occupational diseases.

In addition, she was a military doctor before she traveled through time, and after traveling through time, she also studied a lot of ancient medical books in the space. Niu Zhen was also a retired soldier in ancient times.

She became a little curious about Niu Zhen's legs.

The original owner, Gu Lanruo, could drive a rickshaw, so she should be able to do it too, but she just hadn't practiced it. But all this didn't stop her from finding a rickshaw driver.

Niu Zhen is a good candidate for the role of Chariot Driver.

It was just right that she could check out this person's professional level on the way to Xinghua County. Going to Xinghua... Wait, she must have heard correctly just now, the shopkeeper mentioned Yunlai Inn.

Yunlai Inn?

When did this carriage and horse business become related to Yunlai Inn?

Xiaoyue looked at Niu Zhen's back as he walked in front of her, feeling a little uncomfortable. She was a military doctor, and even though she had traveled back to ancient times, she still had special feelings for the soldiers who defended their country. She wanted to treat Niu Zhen's leg, not just out of professional habit as a doctor.

The two walked in silence, one in front and one behind.

From the front shop, we entered the inner courtyard, which looked like a place for people to live and work. Then we went around and arrived at the backyard of the carriage and horse shop.

The yard looked very large, with different areas separated by trees and flowers of different heights. The air here was filled with not only the fragrance of flowers, but also the smell of a carriage and horse trade.

I guess the stables are nearby.

There is a waiting area in the courtyard specially built for customers to sit and wait, just like the waiting area of ​​modern long-distance bus stations. The roses there are in full bloom, and there are four sweet-scented osmanthus trees.

Thinking that this carriage and horse business might very well join hands with the Yunlai Inn to do business, Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a little curious again.

Niu Zhen asked Xiaoyue to wait here while he went to harness the carriage.

Soon he came over leading a carriage that was neither new nor old, and looked ordinary in appearance, but looked very sturdy.

Compared with the three horses I saw outside the town this morning, this horse was obviously inferior, but for ordinary people and ordinary carriages and horses, it was still a good match.

"Aunt, please."

As Niu Zhen spoke, he took out a stool from the back of the car and asked Xiaoyue to step on it to get into the car. He even stretched out his hand to support Xiaoyue "aunt".

Xiaoyue was mentally prepared to be called aunt when she made herself up to look like a middle-aged woman in her forties, but she didn't expect to be helped into the carriage by a young man.

"No, I can do it myself."

I am not in my seventies or eighties.

Niu Zhen didn't expect that this kind aunt would reject him like other customers. This made him very embarrassed, thinking that the aunt still disliked his disability.

He tried to restrain himself, but his friendly face stiffened in an instant. He put away the stool awkwardly without saying anything.

When Xiaoyue saw Niu Zhen putting away the stool, she suddenly realized something.

She hadn't expected this. Although she dressed up as a middle-aged woman and was mentally prepared to be called aunt, she failed to "unify knowledge and action".

Xiaoyue wanted to apologize, but it would be too obvious.

"Um, Niu Zhen..."

Xiaoyue felt that she should be bigger than Niu Zhen, but that was before she traveled through time.

After traveling through time and space, she became Gu Lanruo, who was definitely not as powerful as Niu Zhen, but she was now a middle-aged woman, called aunt, and she was also the employer. So she was not very clear about how she should address the other party, and how the ancients called her.

Then I thought, it's just a name. Besides, she is the employer and the customer, the other party shouldn't care about the name.

Niu Zhen had just put the stool back when he heard his aunt calling him, and he was about to say something. He immediately became worried, fearing that she would say something about changing the driver. Even if he pretended not to hear, the other party would call him again, or even go directly to the shopkeeper.

It was not the first time that he was rejected by customers. He had not been open for business for more than ten days. If this continued, the wages from the carriage business would not be enough to support himself.

that……

He made up his mind, took a few steps forward and asked respectfully, "Aunt, is there anything I can do for you? If not, I will leave now."

Xiaoyue saw Niu Zhen's inner panic and blamed herself even more for what she had done just now.

"Niu Zhen, I'm fine, but I don't know if you've had breakfast. I bought some sesame cakes this morning, so you two can have some snacks. Go get some water before you leave, so you don't have to eat just the sesame cakes."

Niu Zhen was a little stunned when he saw Xiaoyue handing him two pancakes.

Xiaoyue was afraid that the other party didn't hear clearly, so she added: "Auntie treats you to a meal, it is not included in the cost of hiring a car."

"Auntie, no, that's not necessary. I just had breakfast this morning."

Niu Zhen didn't eat anything when the drivers were sitting together just now.

Maybe it was because of seeing the sesame cake that my stomach had its own ideas and it growled twice in a very unkind manner.

Although the voice was not loud, Xiaoyue could hear it clearly. Besides, she could also see the confusion in Niu Zhen's eyes.

"You are a grown man, even if you have eaten, you can't eat two more pancakes! Don't be so formal with your aunt, just drive the car for me on the way. Take it!"

Xiaoyue added two more pancakes and handed them to Niu Zhen again.

"If you're not hungry now, eat when you're hungry."

Xiaoyue placed the sesame seed cake on a piece of oil paper in front of the carriage door and sat in.
