Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

"Oh, okay. Thank you, auntie."

Niu Zhen could feel Xiaoyue's kindness towards him and no longer refused.

I almost spent all my savings on my daughter's medical treatment a while ago. Now we can barely make ends meet. My wife is two months pregnant.

There are too few customers willing to use him at the carriage and horse business, and he only has the basic monthly salary, so he tries to save every penny and every bite of food.

These days, he basically only eats one whole-grain steamed bun every day. If he is too hungry to sleep at night, he drinks water to fill his stomach. In the morning, he dares not drink too much, so he only drinks a bowl of water, for fear that if he goes out, he will upset his employer because he needs to go to the toilet.

Now he was indeed hungry.

The aroma of the sesame cakes penetrated his nostrils and made his stomach growl with excitement.

He was afraid that he would faint on the road if he couldn't reach Xinghua County due to hunger, so he decided to eat a sesame cake. He would take the other three back to his wife and two children that night.

Nian Nian’s illness has not been fully cured yet, and now I have no money to buy medicine, so I can only take care of her.

Niu Zhen was once a man of integrity, a centurion, wielding a sword to kill enemies, charging into battle, and never flinching. But now he has to worry about his stuttering and can't even support his wife and children.

Ugh……

Fortunately, I met a kind aunt today.

He must drive fast and steadily so that his aunt can be comfortable along the way, and reach Xinghua County as quickly as possible.

There was no trouble along the way, except that many people were heading to the capital city, most of them riding in horse-drawn carriages, and some riding on horseback.

There are so many cars and horses on the road that it is difficult to accelerate even with a cow shaking.

Fortunately, Xiaoyue told him not to rush and to be safe and steady.

Seeing a tea stall on the way, Xiaoyue suggested taking a break. The carriage was a bit bumpy and she felt uncomfortable sitting inside. She secretly took out a thick cushion from the space, but after sitting for a long time, she felt hot under her butt.

I really miss the air-conditioned high-speed rail.

During the break, Xiaoyue heard people chatting next to her and realized that most of the people on the road were going to the capital to watch the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.

The emperor was happy after winning a great victory at the border and wanted to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the people. Of course, people from the surrounding areas who had the conditions wanted to go to the capital to broaden their horizons.

By the way, there is also the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Gu Qianzhang: Will Lord Gu go or not?

Xiaoyue imagined what Gu Qianzhang and Zhang Xiniang looked like and how they celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her lips curled up unconsciously.

She was in a good mood and glanced at Niu Zhen. He didn't come over to drink tea, but stayed by the carriage. He lowered his head and seemed to be fiddling with the water bag in his hand, but what was he actually doing?

When hearing the news of a victory at the border, can the feelings of those who have served in the army and fought on the battlefield be the same as those of ordinary people?

Probably not.

"Bull shock."

Xiaoyue had almost finished her tea, so she called out to Niu Zhen. But she didn't hear the first call, so she called out the second time: "Niu Zhen."

"Alas, alas."

"Let's continue on our way."

Niu Zhen was indeed lost in his own thoughts, and only came to his senses after being called twice. He realized that he had been distracted, and quickly apologized to Xiaoyue.

"Auntie, I, I just took a nap..."

"It's just a nap. If you haven't rested enough, let's rest for a while. There's no rush. Auntie doesn't have anything important to do."

"It's okay, Auntie, please get in the car."

This time Niu Zhen did not move the stool, but stood aside waiting for Xiaoyue to get in the car.

Xiaoyue wasn't an old man, so she got on the bus very quickly, which surprised Niu Zhen. The alertness he developed when he was a soldier made something flash through his mind. But he didn't think about it any further.

I can’t even eat enough and my brain isn’t working.

Xiaoyue told Niu Zhen that she was going to Xinghua County to find someone and needed to find a place to stay first, so she asked Niu Zhen to recommend an inn.

Niu Zhen recommended Yunlai Inn to her. It is an old inn that has been in business for many years. The inn is large, has many guest rooms, reasonable prices, and thoughtful and enthusiastic service.

The most important point is that people who take their carriage company can get a 10% discount on the room rate.

If the guests of Yunlai Inn take their carriage, they can get a 10% discount.

Xinghua County also has their carriage company, and every morning and afternoon, one carriage leaves from Yunlai Inn to Qingniu Town. Before departure, the shopkeeper had already told him that he would be in charge of the afternoon's trip.

Isn’t this the ancient version of a long-distance bus?

"Then I'll trouble you, Niu Zhen. I'll stay at Yunlai Inn today. It's a good idea for the two families to do business together, which will benefit the guests and make it convenient."

"That's right. Our Qingniu Town is the only way from Xinghua County to the capital. Many guests of Yunlai Inn know that it's cheaper to take our car, so most of them come to us. It seems that we charge less, but with more business, we make a lot of money."

"Our business was already good, and now that the two companies have joined forces, our business is even better. We even hired a few new people a few days ago."

Niu Zhen was happy when he heard that Xiaoyue was going to stay at Yunlai Inn. Because if the people in his car could stay at Yunlai Inn directly, he would get a reward from Yunlai Inn, and the specific amount would depend on the hotel fee collected by Yunlai Inn.

Although the payment is made monthly, Yunlai Inn and their carriage and horse company have clear regulations that they will pay the amount they are paid.

Plus today's work.

He will be able to get more wages this month instead of just getting the minimum wage like last month.

If he only had the guaranteed salary for three consecutive months, he would not be able to continue working in the carriage and horse business. He did not want to lose this job now.

This aunt today looks like a good person.

Niu Zhen subconsciously touched the sesame cake in his arms, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although Niu Zhen had used his best skills to make the carriage go as steadily as possible, Xiaoyue still felt that the carriage was shaking. In addition, she felt a little tired after half of the journey, and fell asleep soon. When she was woken up, she had already entered Xinghua County.
