Chapter 74
"Tsk! Why are you like this? Let it go quickly. It's so stinking. Didn't you see that there are other people in the carriage?"
"Hmph! You are just pretentious. There is no smell here. Is there something wrong with your nose? This is the cake I spread with my own hands. I don't know how good it tastes. I think you are greedy! Cut it, it's really good."
Li Si was closing his eyes to rest! Suddenly, a sharp and noisy sound came from his ears. Li Si sighed in his heart and opened his eyes lazily. This is the third time today, right? From the seat to the voice of speaking, now all the trivial things for food. But they are still very noisy, and they are not tired, and Li Si is tired for them.
At this moment, Li Si regretted why he wanted to go with the caravan? It would be fine if he walked together, but why didn’t he buy a carriage by himself, so he could only sit with these people now.
After walking for three days, it was noon that day, and the caravan found a place to stop and have a rest. The people who had been sitting in the carriage naturally came down to play.
Looking at the two women who were arguing while getting off the carriage, Li Si shook his head and walked towards the river. The long journey was long, and he had no choice but to practice quietly for a while, and he didn't know what these people had to make arguing every day. For three consecutive days, the two married women quarreled endlessly every day.
Li Si has decided that when the caravan in the next city is resting, he must buy a carriage himself and sit with them separately. Otherwise, he will not be able to get along with him for so long.
Especially the aunt who insisted on telling her daughter to him, look, it's coming again...
"Li Xiucai! Why are you sitting here alone? Let's go to the aunt's place. The aunt brought the cooked pancakes, and the taste was so good."
Looking at the shy little girl following Aunt Cui, Li Si was at this moment and was even more disappointed. His face was expressionless and he refused in his actions.
"Thank you, no need Aunt Cui, I have to bring dry food."
"Oh! What's the delicious food that's dry? Let's eat the cakes from the aunt's stall!" Aunt Cui stepped forward and wanted to stuff the vegetable cakes into Li Si's hand, but Li Si quickly flashed to the side.
A smell of chives came from his nose, and Li Si held his breath. No wonder the young wife, Madam Yuan, had a quarrel with Aunt Cui! The food cake tasted really strong and was not pleasant to smell.
"It's really not necessary. Thank you. I have something to do to find Team Yan, so I'll leave first." Li Si hurriedly walked towards the place where the caravan was having dinner.
Team Yan is the leader of the caravan, a middle-aged man in his forties and burly figure. Yan Dazhuang had a deep impression of Li Si because Li Si dared to go so far alone at a young age. He was handsome and could tell at a glance that it was easy to bully.
However, Yan Dazhuang is a kind person, very loyal and has a good reputation, and Li Si has a good impression of him.
"Captain Yan." Li Si walked to Yan Dazhuang.
"It's the scholar! Is there anything wrong?"
Yan Dazhuang knew about the quarrel between the two people on Li Si and his carriage. He knew about the leader, he knew about any big and small things that happened in the convoy.
It’s just that the two women quarreled, and this kind of thing happened every time, so Yan Dazhuang didn’t take it seriously at all, so he was a little confused about Li Si coming to him now.
Of course, Li Si did not directly say that he didn't want to stay in the same carriage with the two groups of people, but asked tactfully.
"Team Yan, I want to ask, how long will it take for us to leave the next town?"
"It's probably going to take another two hours! Why? Do you have something to buy?" Yan Dazhuang was a little surprised, because Li Si was very quiet these three days, almost as if he was not the same person.
When he suddenly asked him this question, Yan Dazhuang asked another question, but most people would not ask, after all, this is someone else's privacy.
"Yes, I want to buy a carriage, that's it. I usually have to read books, so I need a relatively quiet environment."
Speaking of this, Li Si specially smiled bitterly at Yan Dazhuang: "Captain Yan, you must have seen it in the past few days. Aunt Cui and the others... Uh! It has seriously affected my reading, so I still paid for the carriage myself, but I have to trouble Team Yan to launch a coachman. However, I will not let you suffer any losses. When I get to the place, my carriage will belong to you."
Yan Dazhuang thought about it and said that the business is not a loss. Anyway, there are only many carriages sandwiched in the middle of the convoy. As for the coachman? That's even better. They basically drive cars in their convoys, but one carriage is not cheap!
Of course this business can be done. Yan Dazhuang wanted to pat Li Si on the shoulder, but Li Si, who was not used to being touched, was not angry even though he was avoided.
Instead, he laughed and said, "Siucai, I agreed to what you said. The next city is Shuguang City. We will stay in Shuguang City for one night tonight. At that time, I will ask Xiaoguang to take you to the market of Shuguang City. He is a nearby person, so he is very familiar with the towns in this area."
"Okay, thank you Team Yan."
After making a decision, it was time to set off again, and Li Si returned to the carriage. Thinking that he could have a carriage alone tomorrow, Li Si was not in such a bad mood when he saw the people who had arguing again.
Seeing Li Si getting on the carriage, the two of them were still arguing, and finally calmed down and did not curse again, but the two still stared at each other.
"Hmph!" Aunt Cui rolled her eyes at Madam Yuan. When she saw Li Si coming in, her eyes lit up. Although she didn't dare to sit next to Li Si directly, she was still very close.
"Mr. Li! How old are you this year? What are you doing at home?"
Li Si glanced at Aunt Cui helplessly. Aunt Cui is really nothing. He is not familiar with her. How could he tell her about such a personal problem?
Fortunately, before he spoke, the wife Yuan next to him mocked him: "Ha! It's so funny. How old Mr. Li is, why should I tell you what you do at home?"
"What do you care about?" A good thing that ruined her was a good thing, and Aunt Cui glared at Madam Yuan fiercely.
"It's not my business, I just can't stand you." Mrs. Yuan waved her husband's hand and looked at the twins beside her, "It's not that your daughter can't get married, so you will take them away from home!"
"You, what are you talking nonsense? It's really..." Aunt Cui returned to her position in a little busy manner.
Li Si looked at Aunt Cui's expression very clearly, huh? Could it be that Mrs. Yuan was criticized by her?
Just looking at the two shy girls next to him, Li Si was not sure. Although he had no good feelings for Aunt Cui, the two girls looked good. They were only two years younger than him, but they looked very sensible.
