Need for Uncle

Chapter 31

Chapter 30 Hurry up
The deeply shocked Ergou showed a look of grievance, looked at Ma Xiaoshuai who was gradually going away with resentful eyes, and watched him go to the gate, then turned around and walked into the yard, thinking about how to deal with the master, sighed faintly .

"Hey... my uncle doesn't want me anymore, why is that?"

Fortunately, Ma Xiaoshuai, who hadn't eaten breakfast, rushed all the way to the door, but luckily he didn't hear this rather ambiguous muttering to himself, otherwise even if there was nothing in his stomach, he would probably be able to vomit a few catties of gastric juice.

When I went out, I saw a few horses at the door, a few big men dressed as soldiers, and of course the people from the rear army commander.

But to Ma Xiaoshuai's surprise, the one who took him to Jiugong Mountain this time was Wang Cheng, who was also the secretary.

"Master Zhang, good morning."

"Morning, Mr. Wang."

Ma Xiaoshuai had a good impression of this enthusiastic colleague, and when they met for the second time, he seemed enthusiastic.

"I didn't expect it to be Mr. Wang, this time I really troubled you."

This Wang Cheng's appearance is rich at best, fat head and big ears at worst, but his body is also extraordinarily strong and tall. He seems to be a cheerful person, and he is slightly displeased with Ma Xiaoshuai's politeness, but the smile that always hangs on the corner of his mouth is There is no sense of blame, "Why did Mr. Zhang say that? This is my duty. I am willing to lead the way for Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang doesn't dislike it, just call me Wang Chengcheng, and you don't need to come and go. Yes, Shengfen."

"Okay, let's call him Brother Wang." Ma Xiaoshuai said with a smile, very satisfied with Wang Cheng's easy going.

"Haha, okay, Zhang..."

"Zhang Defu."

"That's right, Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang." Wang Cheng said in embarrassment. It's not that he didn't remember it, but that when Director Li introduced Ma Xiaoshuai, he only said Mr. Zhang. As for the name, he really didn't say anything. played.

It didn't matter to Ma Xiaoshuai, Zhang Defu wasn't his name in the first place.

"Then brother Wang, go to the mansion to rest for a while, so that my brother can entertain you."

"No, no, no." Wang Cheng waved his hand, looked at the big men behind him, and said, "Take out the official uniform."

Hey, official clothes! ?
Ma Xiaoshuai was very happy in his heart. Seeing one of the big guys take out a package, he felt a little anticipation. He is also a court official, and this official uniform is a status symbol.

"Brother Zhang left in a hurry yesterday, and he didn't get his official uniform. No, I brought it for you."

While talking, Wang Cheng took the package from the big man's hand and opened it, revealing a top hat and a stack of light-colored cloth

"This is the official uniform of our secretary, but because the rank is not high, it is not very gorgeous."

"it's okay no problem……"

Ma Xiaoshuai kept waving his hands, just as he himself said, it really doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, as long as there is a symbol.

"Then I'll put it on now?"

"No, I'll be on my way later. The road is dusty, so it won't be good if it gets dirty." Wang Cheng said with a smile, "When we arrive at the Jiugong Mountain Military Supply Camp, we will put it on and make it clean. Now we can just wear casual clothes. "

"Oh……"

Although Ma Xiaoshuai was eager to try it, he also felt that the words made sense, so he held back his curiosity for the time being.

At this time, Wang Cheng looked behind him, communicated with the soldier with his eyes, and said to Ma Xiaoshuai: "Brother Zhang, let's go early, if it is later, I'm afraid we will have to walk at night."

"kindness?"

Ma Xiaoshuai was taken aback, but he didn't expect Jiugong Mountain to be so far away. Hearing this, he said in surprise, "Didn't you say that Jiugong Mountain is just outside the city? Why do you have to walk for so long?"

"This... How should I put it, Jiugong Mountain is indeed outside the city, but you know that as a country's military supply camp, it must be the most important place. Even the court is cautious, so the location was chosen at the beginning. It took a lot of effort to find Jiugong Mountain, the picture is hidden and remote, it should be far away from the city."

Ma Xiashuai nodded secretly, according to this, there is some truth.

"Okay then, let's go early."

"Okay, get on the horse."

........................

Ten li outside Murong City, a group of seven people galloped fast, it was Ma Xiaoshuai and his party.

This time, the rear military commander arranged for two people to go to the Jiugongshan military supply camp. In addition to guiding the newcomer Ma Xiaoshuai, it was also a routine inspection process once a month, which lasted for [-] days. He was escorted by five soldiers from the imperial city garrison.

At this time, he had been away from Murong Cheng for about an hour, and due to time constraints, the seven of them had been rushing on and on, and there was not much conversation among the seven of them. time.

As for Ma Xiaoshuai, he wanted to speak now, but he just couldn't.

In fact, even Ma Xiaoshuai himself has only seen this kind of horses for transportation in the zoo in his previous life. He has never done horseback riding before. The pain he gradually realized was overwhelmed with sorrow.

Riding a horse is no better than riding a car. Not only is the buttocks hard, but it is also bumpy. Although the road is relatively flat for the time being, it is not a car that can run on four wheels. It hurts the person sitting on the horse.

The six people in front and behind were fine, they galloped all the way with a calm demeanor, but for Ma Xiaoshuai, who was frail and riding a horse for the first time, this seemingly short hour of jolting was simply a kind of torture, and the buttocks were bumped and burned. Not to mention, his stomach was shaken even more. Many times he tried to step on the horse's pedals to relieve the pain caused by the bumps, but the result was that he was bumped even more dizzy.

Ma Xiaoshuai with a painful face wanted to cry, although his body was about to fall apart, but it was not easy for everyone to stop and rest or slow down because of himself, on the one hand because of time constraints and the long distance, and on the other hand because of the damn face , he didn't want to lose the reputation of being weak.

In this way, under Ma Xiaoshuai's insistence, the group walked for more than two hours again.

There is a fork in the flat avenue, the one on the left is connected to the relatively spacious avenue you are walking on now, it is flat and straight, and the other one seems to be a mountain path, along the bend you can see the narrow path not far ahead, compared to now The way to go is much narrower, and it doesn't seem to be very smooth and easy to walk.

"Brother Zhang, take the path."

"……what?"

Ma Xiaoshuai was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously looked at the winding path to the left, and howled in his heart.

God, is this more bumpy than the road? ...my ass.

Ma Xiaoshuai, who was mournful but helpless, had no choice but to pull the reins behind the crowd, wait for the horse to turn slightly and set foot on the path before he waved his whip, and followed the crowd to continue galloping.

As Ma Xiaoshuai expected, the road was indeed much bumpier than before.

It's just that his pain didn't last long. After walking forward for about an hour, the path was already extremely bumpy, and there were obviously more messy stones and dirt on the road. After persisting for about half an hour, Everyone gradually slowed down, because the small road had completely turned into a mountain road at this time.

Facing the mountain road that is difficult to walk on foot, riding a horse seems cumbersome.

As the leader, Wang Guo decisively ordered "get off the horse."

Ma Xiaoshuai was so moved that he almost cried bitterly as he was about to receive a pardon, and he fell in love with that lovely Wang Cheng in his heart.

"Brother Zhang's face is so ugly, could it be that he can't stand the bumps?"

At this moment, Wang Cheng took the rein and walked to Ma Xiaoshuai, who was moving his body, and asked suspiciously.

Ma Xiaoshuai said in embarrassment: "Uh... it's a little bit, it's the first time I've been riding a horse for so long."

"Oh……"

Wang Cheng nodded and said: "It's okay, who doesn't have a first time, just get used to it."

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and didn't say anything, his butt was still hurting, and he seemed a little awkward when he walked.

"Brother Zhang, do you want to take a break?" Wang Cheng obviously noticed Ma Xiaoshuai's abnormality.

"No need, just take a walk," Ma Xiaoshuai said indifferently.

"Ok."

"By the way, Brother Wang." Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is this military supply camp not far ahead?"

"Well...you should be able to arrive before dark, what's the matter?" Wang Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to talk about this mountain road...then this transportation..."

"Ah, hehe." Wang Cheng looked at the rugged mountain road under his feet, and smiled, "Brother Zhang must have misunderstood, the road we are taking now is a shortcut, which can save some time, and the road you saw before is road for transport."

Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly realized, "Oh, so it is like this."

"Yes, although the road is flat, no matter how fast we go, we won't be able to reach it before dark," Wang Cheng said with a smile.

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, and led the horse to continue walking on the mountain road.

But when Wang Cheng saw that Ma Xiaoshuai looked a little tired, he didn't say anything, just hurried on his way.

After walking for a while, Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly felt extremely thirsty, and immediately took out a skin bag from the burden on his body.

This skin bag was randomly found in the room before leaving, but it is not filled with water, but the leftovers from a large bottle of juice bought from Tang Xiao before, and it is specially packed in the skin bag before leaving today , Thinking about quenching thirst when on the road.

"Brother Wang, come..."

Ma Xiaoshuai gulped down a gulp and handed it to Wang Cheng beside him.

"Thank you Brother Zhang for your kindness, but I'm bringing this water with me." Wang Cheng smiled and patted the bulging skin on his waist.

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and said mysteriously, "This is not water."

"It's not water?" Wang Cheng frowned suspiciously, suddenly remembered something, and said in relief, "Is that wine?"

"Not at all."

"No? What is that?" Wang Cheng took the skin bag in doubt, and murmured, "I want to see what it is."

Gudu Gudu!

The way Wang Cheng drank was quite heroic, gulping and gulping.

"Hmm..." After not drinking much, Wang Cheng stopped suddenly, swallowed what was left in his mouth, and wiped the edge of his mouth. "Brother Zhang, what are you, why do you have...have..."

"Does it smell like oranges?" Ma Xiaoshuai asked with a smile.

"Enen." Wang Cheng stared at the skin, staring at the skin in surprise, and took another few sips.

"Brother Zhang, you have to tell me where this thing came from. I will buy some later."

from where?Could it be that he is from another world?

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and said, "It's self-produced, self-produced."

"Oh? Homemade?" Wang Cheng looked at the skin bag again, and said, "Then how are these things made?"

"Secret!" Ma Xiaoshuai blinked mysteriously, but didn't say anything.

Wang Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed loudly and said, "Are you still hiding it from me? Then I'll drink it up for you."

"No, this is not allowed." Ma Xiaoshuai was anxious, and grabbed the skin back before Wang Cheng could react.

"Good boy, give me another drink." Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to come up to grab it viciously.
