It was a summer night, and the scholar was on his way to Beijing for the exam.

Because of family matters, he was delayed for a while, so he could only rush on the road overnight. Unfortunately, the face of the child in June changed as soon as he said it, and the sudden downpour drenched him completely.

The scholar was stuck on the road, neither advancing nor retreating, and there was no place to hide from the rain nearby.

At this moment, a carriage creaked behind him.

"Young man, are you going to the town ahead? The old man can give you a ride." said the driver.

The coachman was wearing a huge hat, which made it difficult to see his face clearly, and it could be heard from his voice that he was not young.

The journey to the capital for the exam happened to pass by the town ahead, the scholar thanked him happily and got on the carriage.

After getting into the car, the scholar felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was.

"Young man, seeing that you are in such a hurry, you are not from the local area, are you?" the coachman asked.

"Well... yes, Xiaosheng is from Pucheng, and he plans to take the imperial examination this year. Because of personal matters, he has to travel overnight." The scholar replied honestly.

"That's it." The coachman said with a drawn out voice, "Our Baishi Town is beautiful and rich. Would you like to consider settling down in our Shuiyun Town?"

"...Thank you for your kindness, old man, but Xiaosheng wants to go to Beijing to take the exam, so I'm afraid I can't..." Although he didn't know why the coachman asked such a question, the scholar could only refuse embarrassingly.

"I have a daughter named Xiao Song, who just turned [-] this year. She is pretty, kind and hardworking. I'm not bragging. The person who proposes marriage has broken through the threshold two years ago." It seems that I didn't hear the scholar's tone. As if refusing from Li, the coachman continued to talk on his own.

"...Ah...you are really blessed." The scholar wiped his sweat nervously as the sense of disobedience grew stronger.

"Young man, you seem to be a solid and reliable man. Why don't I betroth the little girl to you?" The driver let out a burst of hearty laughter.

"Old man, although I am very grateful that you are willing to take Xiaosheng along the way, but Xiaosheng's ambition is in the court, I am sorry that Xiaosheng cannot agree to your request. If Xiaosheng becomes famous in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness!" The development of the topic is getting more and more wrong. The scholar can only Faced with the consequences of being driven out of the carriage and continuing to be exposed to the rain, he refused with righteous words.

"Our Baishi Town is beautiful and rich, let's stay here." The coachman continued as if he didn't hear it.

"Old man...Xiaosheng just said..."

"Xiao Song is waiting for us at home, stay here." The old voice of the coachman continued to sound without emotion.

"Stay."

"Stay, stay, stay..."

The sound of rain mixed with the coachman's voice was terrifying, the scholar huddled in the back seat tremblingly, why did he get in this car in the first place?On a rainy night, the carriage suddenly appeared, and the coachman who warmly invited him to get on the carriage was abnormal no matter how he thought about it.

How about following him to Baishi Town first and then trying to escape?

Thinking of this, the scholar froze.

There is no Baishi Town in front of it.

There is indeed a town in front, but its name is Shuiyun Town?

Before reaching Shuiyun Town, you have to pass through a cemetery.

The scholar knew where his sense of disobedience before getting in the car came from.

The driver's bamboo hat was so tall that it almost covered his entire head.

The scholar wanted to open the car door to escape, but the door couldn't be opened as if it was welded to death.

Trembling, he opened the curtain of the carriage window, trying to look out the window, but only heard a bang, and the front fender of the carriage fell off, exposing the coachman's back.

Looking up from the back, it is a bamboo hat supported by a long neck.

On top of the neck, there is no head.
