Chapter 233 Asking for directions
In this way, Liu Xiaoxiao and her companions' carriage had been traveling for an hour since leaving Luoya Village, but they had not seen a single person.
Just when Liu Xiaoxiao wanted to ask the old man Wang Bo her three soul-searching questions again.
It seemed that even God couldn't stand her nagging temper.
So before she could say anything, a carriage similar to theirs came towards them on the road ahead.
Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the carriage getting closer and closer and said to Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, let's go slower. When we pass each other later, I want to ask them how long it will take us to get to town."
Although Uncle Wang was very confident in his memory, and he believed even more in himself, he must have followed the route given by Wang Feng, so they must have taken the right path.
But after all, it's not a road she has driven on personally, so it might be helpful to ask the oncoming vehicles. This will at least make the lady feel more at ease.
So he stopped the horse and said to Liu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I'll stop the car and ask, so I can hear it more clearly."
Liu Xiaoxiao had no objection to his arrangement.
Even when she saw that the carriage had stopped, she jumped off the shaft and stood in front of the horse.
The old man and the young man just waited for the other to come.
The man driving the carriage on the opposite side suddenly stopped when he saw their car. He thought the other party's car broke down.
So he said to the man in the carriage, "Madman, there seems to be a carriage across from us that has broken down and is now parked on the side of the road!"
The man in the car raised his arm slightly and slowly lifted the curtain on one side. He glanced lazily and casually at the extremely empty road and said, "If you want to help, go ahead. I'm not in a hurry."
The man seemed to have known that the people in the car would agree. As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped the horse in front of him.
Before Uncle Wang could say anything, he jumped off the carriage and said to Uncle Wang, "Old man, is your carriage broken? Do you need help? I can do some simple repairs. If you need me, I can help you right now."
Uncle Wang didn't expect that the other party was such a helpful and kind person.
It’s just that the other party’s behavior is somewhat preconceived, so Uncle Wang hasn’t thought of the right words yet!
Liu Xiaoxiao spoke before him, "Big Brother, you misunderstood. Our carriage is not broken. We just wanted to ask you if you passed by a place called Xishui Town on your way here."
The man sitting in the carriage originally wanted to come out and scold the driver for not saying hello before stopping.
He happened to overhear Liu Xiaoxiao's question and immediately laughed at her, "Hahaha, I told you to stop without telling me in advance. I didn't expect that! You braked so suddenly that I almost hit my head. And he was just asking for directions, and you're like, 'You're as sick as if you've eaten coptis!'"
The man who had gotten off the car earlier didn't feel embarrassed after being scolded. He directly retorted: "Didn't I stop the car because you agreed? Why didn't I tell you in advance?"
"Besides! What's wrong with asking for directions? People who ask for directions usually do so when they're lost. Since they're lost, they naturally need help. This doesn't conflict with the original purpose of my parking."
Liu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the other party, who was just a driver, could be so eloquent.
If this were a business, I wonder how much money he would make.
Liu Xiaoxiao was still immersed in her own thoughts! Suddenly, she heard Uncle Wang's slightly hoarse voice explaining, "No, sir, you misunderstood. We are not actually lost. It's just that this is our first time walking this road, and my daughter is a little worried. That's why we wanted to ask so that we can better determine the time required." Uncle Wang finally finished speaking.
The man in the carriage had already gotten off.
But after listening to Uncle Wang's explanation, he laughed even louder.
