He added another sentence: "Those of you who can afford a carriage, you still care about the two money! Let's discuss it quickly, there is still a lot of distance to go!"
This is to remind them: there is still a long way to go, how can you get there without a car
Lian Fangzhou looked at A Jian and then at Lian Ze. The three of them all had the same meaning: this guy can't be taken advantage of, it's too embarrassing to be treated like this!
"Since that's the case, we won't take this carriage anymore. Anyway, there's nothing urgent! Walking is the same!" Lian Fangzhou said casually.
"Stupid!" The coachman sneered, but his tone softened a little, and he said with a look of consideration for them: "It's not necessarily possible to get there after dark on two legs! If you get there, you have to stay in a hotel, so it's not the second time." It's a matter of two silver coins! Why bother!"
"We are happy! At least, I feel at ease!" Lian Fangzhou said firmly.
Lian Ze was about to go forward, but then he turned around and said, "Sister, what are you talking about with him? Brother Ah Jian, let's all go!"
Lian Fangzhou and Ah Jian glanced at each other before walking away.
"Small money is reluctant to spend big money. Hey, I really don't know what you think! I don't think you seem very rich, so why bother to be so angry!" The driver was a little anxious and shouted from behind. .
Lian Fangzhou and the others ignored him at all, and didn't even look back.
"Then you go slowly, I think at this speed you will not be able to go anywhere when it gets dark! There is still a remote area ahead, and there are wild beasts coming and going when it gets dark, you have to be careful! Don't lose your life!" The driver shouted again.
Lian Ze snorted and said, "I'm looking forward to a beast, so I can see how my kung fu is doing!"
Ah Jian smiled and said, "You are already very good. It shouldn't be a problem to kill a wolf. Well, if it's a tiger or a bear, it's not too bad!"
"Brother Ajian, when can I kill the tiger and the bear?"
"This, it's hard to say, it depends on your next progress..."
The two actually started discussing martial arts one by one, and Lian Fangzhou couldn't laugh or cry. If the coachman heard it, he would also be dumbfounded, right
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, I passed a mountain depression. At the turn of the road, there was a huge old maple tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. According to visual inspection, three or four people might not be able to embrace it. The thick branches and leaves almost covered the whole place. A small section of the road is shaded.
Ah Jian's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she said, "It's not far away when we get here, and we should be there in about half an hour!"
When Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze heard this, they knew that Ah Jian must have walked this way when he was a wanderer. Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "That's great! Let's walk!"
"Yeah! I won't be aggrieved by the coachman! Hey, it seems that I haven't paid him yet!" Lian Ze suddenly remembered and exclaimed.
Lian Fangzhou snorted, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, we can't rely on him!"
This is left behind by others! Seeing that he is so proficient, it must not be the first time he has done this kind of thing, and he is really thoughtful and well thought out.
Lian Ze was stunned for a moment, but he still hadn't realized it, when he heard the rumbling sound of the horses hooves behind him, and when he looked back, the coachman was chasing after him with the carriage again.
"Hey—" The driver slowed down after catching up, and smiled at them, "Isn't the feeling of walking uncomfortable? How can it be compared with taking a car? When you get to the county seat, I'm afraid that both legs will be hurt." If the walk is broken, how can I do anything? Forget it, who told me that I am a good-hearted person. I will not bear it when I see you like this. If you give me six silver coins, I will take it as a disadvantage and send you to forget it. !"
"Let's forget it!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and sighed softly: "Who told us to be kind-hearted? We won't bear it when you suffer a disadvantage. You'd better go ahead!"
Lian Ze and A Jian both laughed.
Lian Ze snorted and said, "Stop coaxing us! It's only half an hour's walk here, you are so unkind!"
The coachman was obviously taken aback, and said immediately, "What do you know! Do you know this road well or do I? If you think so, don't blame me for what happened on the road!"
"Let's go!" Lian Fangzhou said.
Seeing that they were determined not to take his own car anymore, the coachman yelled, "Slow down!" and rushed up to stop him, saying, "Where's the fare for the car? The four qian silver that we agreed earlier should be paid." Give it to me? There’s no reason why you won’t pay for a ride! It’s going to make someone poke your spine!”
"We haven't reached the county yet, why do you want four silver coins!" Lian Ze said angrily.
Lian Fangzhou said: "My brother is right! Of course we will pay the fare for the car, of course it is how much we have to pay for the journey! Well, as you said, we have to go until dark to get there, even if According to the speed of your carriage five times faster than our walking, the distance we took should only be a small part of it! The whole journey is four dollars, and the conversion of such a small distance—"
Lian Fangzhou counted one, two, three, four with his fingers for a while, and then said: "Forget it! We will lose a little, and I will give you fifty cents!"
"You—" the coachman was almost so angry that her nose turned crooked, her face turned white and blue, and she said angrily, "You didn't take advantage of it like this! You have already walked halfway, at least you have to give me three money!"
The three of them didn't speak, they just stared at him.
The coachman was angry, anxious and embarrassed, blushed, waved his hand and said, "That's all, give me two dollars!"
"So, you lied to us earlier?" Lian Fangzhou said coldly.
The coachman snorted and remained silent.
Lian Fangzhou didn't bother to reason with him because it was too boring! It's just that they were unlucky enough to meet someone who likes to take advantage of small things, so they took out two coins and put them on the side of the car, and said coldly: "We won't take advantage of you, and you won't dare to ride in your car anymore. let's go!"
As he spoke, he turned around and left with Ah Jian and Lian Ze. The coachman was stunned for a moment, muttered something, turned around and left.
"Sister, you are amazing, I feel much more at ease!" Lian Ze laughed.
"You guessed that he would come after him?" A-Jian asked.
Lian Fangzhou laughed and said, "He's going all out to play tricks just to blackmail us a little more money, it doesn't make sense to forget anything!"
A Jian and Lian Ze were startled, and then laughed.
The three of them talked and laughed all the way, but they were not lonely. Because of the anger in their hearts, their steps became much lighter, and they didn't feel tired.
Seeing a pergola set up on the side of the road ahead, Ah Jian pointed and said, "We can rest in that pergola for a while, there is mountain spring water drawn from the back mountain to quench our thirst!"
"Okay, then let's go faster!" Lian Fangzhou laughed.
Because I was traveling by car, I thought I would get there in a short time, so I didn't prepare water for drinking on the way. Who knew that something like that would happen on the way. The three of them were really thirsty after walking. Hearing what Ah Jian said, both siblings were refreshed.
When I came to the front, I saw spring water flowing down from the back of the mountain against which the pergola was leaning. I used bamboo tubes to connect a section.
There are also long stone benches in the pergola for people to sit and rest, and the ground is also very clean.
"Sister! Brother Ajian! Look what that is!" Lian Ze suddenly pointed and shouted.
Guess what Lian Ze saw? Well, stop here, I am really bad, hehe
