Dongfang Ying drove the carriage to the north, and the white horse followed the carriage two or three feet away, pacing leisurely.
Because Xiaoxia and Nangong Huiyue were worried about being bumped, the carriage drove at a speed not much faster than an ordinary person's trot. This speed was effortless for the white horse.
Those villagers who were staring at Dongfang Ying noticed the figure of the white horse. Thinking of the legend of "The Fairy Lady", she rode a white horse, and they couldn't help but guess:
p>"Hey, hey, there really is a white horse. Is this the mount of the heroine who killed pirates?"
"Maybe it is, just now What else did the lady ask us? It really looks like it now!”
“We are so blind that we can’t even tell when a real fairy comes in front of us...”
All the villagers looked at the carriage and the white horse going away and expressed their pity.
The city wall of Xuwen County is quite majestic, nearly two feet high, and there is a moat around it.
Following the path along the moat, after walking for a short time, it turns to the northeast. After walking less than a mile, you can already see the North Gate Tower.
There are also many merchants and people at the north gate waiting for the city gate to open. At this time, the sky is gradually showing light in the east, and dawn is about to break.
Dongfang Ying turned his horse to the north, avoiding the people at the city gate, and drove straight into the official road.
After walking for more than ten feet, he saw a pavilion standing on the roadside. Among colorful flowers.
When I got closer and took a closer look, the words "Yinglong Pavilion" were written on the pavilion.
Dongfang Ying didn't pay any special attention to the pavilion, but she found a few people standing around in front of the pavilion, pointing and saying things like "what a pity" and "a great filial son".
Dongfang Ying was curious. She reined in the horse and took a closer look. She saw a man kneeling on the ground in the crowd, with a fire burning next to him. There seemed to be another person lying at the man's feet, covered with a fire. Wearing a rag.
Nangong Huiyue also felt something strange. She stuck her head out of the carriage and asked:
"What's wrong, sister? What happened?"
Dongfang Ying shook her head:
"I don't know either. Don't get out of the car. I'll go and ask."
She hung the reins on the shaft of the car and lifted it up. He got off the carriage, walked to the pavilion, and asked a spectator:
"Brother, may I ask, what are you looking at here?"
The spectator glanced at Dongfang Ying, Seeing her handsome face, he explained enthusiastically:
"Girl, it seems that you are also a warm-hearted and good person, why not help this young man and do a good deed.
"It's like this. The young man kneeling is said to be from Huizhou. He followed his father to do small business in Qiongzhou.
"I returned home from the north yesterday.On the way, he was robbed by bandits at Niubei Ridge ahead. Not only his money and materials were looted, but his father was also killed by the bandits.
“This poor young man is penniless and doesn’t even have the money to bury his father’s body, so he kneels down on the roadside and begs kindhearted people who are willing to pay for his father’s coffin and bury him. He would rather sell his body. "Three years of slavery."
Dongfang Ying couldn't help but feel compassion. She lowered her head and took a closer look at the young man.
By the firelight, she could see that he was about 20 years old and had a dark complexion. He was dressed simply and had a strong build. He was obviously a child of a poor family.
In front of him, he used a branch to draw the words "Sell yourself and bury your father as a slave for three years" on the ground.
Dongfang Ying felt compassion and said:
"Brother, how much does it cost to bury your father?"
When the young man heard this She shook her body, looked up at Dongfang Ying, and then muttered:
"...Female...Female Bodhisattva, are you willing to pay? Just...just ten taels of silver,
p>
"As long as you are willing to help me... I am willing to be a slave and serve the female Bodhisattva for three years... Please be kind..."
Dongfang Ying Weiwei Frowning, he said casually:
"I can give you ten taels of silver, but I don't want you to sell yourself into slavery. Just stand up. "
The young man stood up hesitantly and said cautiously:
"Really, female Bodhisattva? Can you give me money? "
Dongfang Ying nodded and said:
"Of course, I will do what I say. By the way, don't call me a female Bodhisattva. You won't find it useful. "
The young man agreed repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, that little man won't call me that anymore. I wonder what the girl's surname is? What should I call a villain? "
Dongfang Ying waved her hand:
"You don't need to know my name, and I won't ask you what your name is. I'll give you the money. Please wait a moment. . "
After saying that, she turned around and walked to the carriage, asking Nangong Huiyue to bring her luggage to her.
Nangong Huiyue pouted and had no choice but to stay in the carriage. She took out Dongfang Ying's robe and handed it to Dongfang Ying.
Dongfang Ying took out the remaining pieces of silver from the robe, about twelve or three taels, and gave them all to the young man. .
The young man took the broken silver in his hand, knelt down to Dongfang Ying with a plop, kowtowed and said:
"Thank you for your generosity and righteousness. Please tell me your name, my dear." A person should remember the girl's kindness throughout his life and never forget it. "
Dongfang Ying shook her head:
"That's no need, it's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Okay, I have to go on my way, so I won’t leave here. "
When he turned around and was about to go back, the young man shouted:
"Wait a minute, girl, although the villain is humble, he also knows the principle of repaying kindness with a drop of water and a spring of water, and he also understands the meaning of keeping a promise as firmly as he says!

"The villain's promise to 'sell her body and bury her father as a slave for three years' must never be broken. If the girl refuses to give the villain a chance to repay her kindness, then the villain will never break her promise." I would rather not have this charity! "
Dongfang Ying was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that this kid had such backbone, and his conversation was very good. He was really not an ordinary person.
She stopped and pondered. After a while, he turned back and said:
"Brother, why are you doing this? The deceased is great, and it is safe to be buried in the grave. If you don't take care of your father's funeral as soon as possible, wouldn't you be ashamed to be the son of a man?
"It's not that I refuse people thousands of miles away, it's just because we have other important matters and need to travel urgently, so we can't delay.
"I hope you can understand and bury your father properly. . "
The young man stood up and said:
"I see, the villain has misunderstood.
"But this is not difficult. I can use the money to buy a coffin, bury my late father, and then hire a cart to pull it behind you.
“First of all, I also hope that my late father’s coffin can be returned to my hometown for burial, and secondly, I don’t want to delay the girl’s journey. "
"This..." Dongfang Ying complained secretly, why did she spend money to do good things and still get into trouble? This young man will follow her life and death, and she can't get rid of him.
At this time, someone watching the excitement said to Dongfang Ying: "Girl, what the young man said makes sense. You are dedicated to doing good deeds, and he is determined to repay your kindness. If you want to go north, he We should also help the souls return to their hometown.
"Isn't this mutual consent, the best of both worlds? Why not agree to him and make a good story come true!"
Dongfang Ying is so embarrassed, what are you talking about, and it makes a good story come true! , what and what!
She didn’t want to dwell on it anymore, coughed twice, and said bravely:
“Okay, okay, then go buy a good coffin and hire a car. I'll wait for you here for at most an hour."
The young man's face showed joy, he hurriedly agreed, took the money given by Dongfang Ying, and rushed towards the north gate of the county.
The sky was bright at this moment, with a rising sun dyeing the sky red, and the city gate finally opened.
When the onlookers saw that the matter had come to an end, they all dispersed and headed towards the city gate, leaving only the body covered with a cloth on the ground.
When Dongfang Ying returned to the carriage, Nangong Huiyue complained:
"Silly sister, you are the only one who is nosy. You have wasted your money and got into trouble with a dragster. Bottle.
"You still say that I am looking for trouble, and you are not worried, huh! "
Dongfang Ying smiled and said:
"You are stupid. I actually did this with a plan. Not only did I not suffer a loss, I also made a profit.
"Think about it, aren't we about to hire a driver to help us drive the car?
"I saw that little brother just now. He is strong and has nimble hands and feet. He should be a good driver. Moreover, he is from Huizhou Prefecture. So if he is a guide along the way, wouldn't it be great? Is it going more smoothly?"
Nangong Huiyue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said sweetly:
"It seems to make sense, but I don't know if it's yours. "Truthfully."
"What do you mean?" Dongfang Ying asked.
"Didn't you hear what the uncle said just now? Why don't you agree to him and make it a good story!
"Gee, that young man is quite energetic. The older girl liked it too. Woolen cloth. "
Dongfang Ying almost choked, and stretched out her hand to pinch her little face again, and scolded with a smile:
"You are the big girl, I think you are the one doing the trick. Crazy! "
The two girls made fun of each other and woke up Xiaoyun Xiaoxia in the carriage. Xiaoyun poked her head out and asked:
"Miss, girl, who of you two is guilty? Are you crazy? It's so embarrassing to be so public. "
Nangong Huiyue spat at her and nodded her little head:
"Go, go, little yellow-haired girl, what do you know? Be careful of getting beaten!" "
Dongfang Ying glared at Nangong Huiyue, protected Xiaoyun and said:
"Don't be afraid, sister Xiaoyun, I'm here to see who dares to beat you. "
Nangong Huiyue deliberately bulged her cheeks and said angrily:
"They are both my maids, what's wrong with me beating her? You are really addicted to meddling in other people’s business! "
Xiaoyun hurriedly whispered:
"Miss, don't be angry. Xiaoyun said the wrong thing. You can hit or scold her if you want. Oriental girl is with you. Just kidding. "
Nangong Huiyue turned her anger into joy and said with a chuckle:
"Silly girl, how can I bear to beat you and scold you? I was just joking with you, it's okay. "
Dongfang Ying also smiled and said:
"Sister Xiaoyun, is Xiaoxia awake? How is her health? Is her forehead still hot? "
"It's much better now. Dr. Huang's medical skills and pills are really effective. Xiaoxia's complexion has improved, and she said the wound doesn't hurt anymore. "
Hearing what Xiaoyun said, Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue were also very happy. The three girls went in and took a look at Xiaoxia. Sure enough, their health improved a lot and they were conscious. They reluctantly sat up and chatted with the second girl. Say hello.
Nangong Huiyue took the water bag she brought from Baoshenglin and gave Xiaoxia a few sips of water. Then the three women each drank a few sips to quench their thirst, chatting and laughing, waiting for the young man to come back. .
