"Drive!" The old driver was so excited that he whipped the horse's bottom with all his strength, perhaps because he was so excited that the whip almost flew off. This sudden dangerous scene frightened the little ones, their little faces suddenly turned white.
"Grandpa, be careful! Be careful!" 'cried Hawton in horror.' How can you drive a carriage if the whip falls off the cliff? How are we going to get home?"
"That's right, Grandpa, you take it easy, we're too young to die." Honan agreed with a tearful voice.
The old coachman was frightened by this, and also broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly gathered his mind and dared not be careless any more. He tried to calm his excitement and carefully drove the carriage up the climb. At this time, the sweat on his forehead was like broken beads, falling down the tip of his nose drop by drop, but he did not even have the courage to lift his hand to wipe it, for fear that an carelessness would cause the carriage to lose control again.
"Fuck, I've been driving a carriage all my life, and I've never been so excited as I am today, driving a carriage while hanging in mid-air." No one would believe this if they told anyone. If you survive today, you'll have something to brag about back home, and you'll be able to brag for the rest of your life." The old coachman sighed to himself.
Although it was only a short quarter of an hour, it seemed to the old coachman that a long and tormented century had passed.
"Whoa!" Finally, with his unremitting efforts, the carriage was successfully caught up to the cliff. When the horse's hooves were firmly on the solid ground, the old coachman felt as if all his strength had been drained, his clothes were already drenched with sweat, and even the palm of his hand was oozing fine drops of water, which showed what kind of tension and fear he had just experienced.
"Whoo, finally escaped, we don't have to die, whoo whoo..." As soon as he was relaxed, he collapsed in the carriage and wept uncontrollably.
Huo Bingbing had been waiting quietly by the roadside for them to come up. Today she always felt uneasy, eyelids jumping, the heart always vaguely feel that something will happen, so they followed the phoenix out to see, just witnessed the dangerous scene of the carriage falling off the cliff, which only in time to save them. She has the power to predict the future of any mortal, but she cannot predict the quintuplets born of her mortal womb and the cruel king. Not only that, but even the origin of their past lives was a blank in her perception, which filled her heart with doubts and curiosity.
Huo Dong joyfully jumped down from the carriage with his younger brothers and sisters, and the little ones spread their short legs, like cheerful birds, and pounced on Huo Bingbing, saying in a soft voice: "Mother, we were scared to death just now, and thought we would never see you again, ah whoo whoo..." They had been very strong and had tried to comfort the old coachman when the carriage had gone out of control. But now, as soon as they saw their mother, their deep fear and grievance came out like a flood, and suddenly they became ordinary babies, hugging their mother and crying.
Huo Bingbing was very distressed, and she gently wiped their tears and comforted them with a gentle voice: "Babies, don't cry, your mother cooked your favorite dishes, let's go home for dinner."
"Yeah, okay." When the little ones heard that there was delicious food, they immediately turned tears into smiles, and their innocent smiles were like blooming flowers in spring.
At that moment, the bird also came fluttering wings. It found that the owners are safe and sound, excitedly chirped up: "Great, great, several owners are OK, just really scared me to death." It did not find the ancestors before going home, but also full of thought that several masters must have had an accident, the heart is very anxious. But unexpectedly, the ancestors arrived here early and successfully avoided a tragedy.
When the old coachman heard the bird, he suddenly raised his head, pointed his finger at it, and said angrily, "It's the stinking bird's fault. If it weren't for it, the carriage wouldn't have fallen off the cliff."
The bird fluttered down from the air, stood firmly on Huo Bingbing's shoulder, looked at the old coachman with an innocent and ignorant face, and retorted in a high-pitched voice: "Old man, are you scared and incoherent?" Why blame it on someone else when it's your fault? A lot of age, work is not a bit of responsibility, when things go wrong, net to throw dirt on others. I tell you, old man, I can't take the blame."
The old driver was angry at the bird's rebuttal, and his face was red. He never imagined that the bird could not only speak human language, but also be so glib. He then angrily recounted what had happened, stressing that it was because the sudden appearance of the bird had frightened him that the carriage would lose control and fall off the cliff.
The bird listened to the old man's words, said very speechless, the heart secretly abdominal criticism: you have little knowledge, what is the matter with me?
"Father, it's really none of my business, I didn't mean to harm a few little masters." Bird eagerly explained to Huo Bingbing, several owners but it brought up, although not his own, but better than his own. How could it hurt them? After all, it's the old man's cowardice. It can talk. What's the big deal? Besides, it is not one of those lowly birds, it is a noble phoenix, phoenix. The blind old man.
Huo Bingbing also knows the nature of the phoenix, after all, it has followed themselves for tens of thousands of years, what kind of character, she naturally is extremely familiar with.
"This time it was an accident, everyone don't hold on to it, people are safe." Huo said softly.
Before leaving, Huo Bingbing looked at the old coachman with a mysterious light in his eyes and said, "Old man, our ancestors see that you are a blessed man and will soon be rich. In the future, don't rush about everywhere and enjoy your life at home."
The old driver smelled the words and shook his head with a bitter smile. His family is poor, poor jingle, daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby also owes a butt of debt. If life had not forced him, he would not have driven the carriage at his old age. Made a fortune? It was something he had never dared to think of in his life. In his heart, the family can be in peace, food and clothing, do not owe foreign debt, he has been satisfied.
"Girl, it's getting late, you go back too." He raised his whip and was about to drive away.
Huo Bingbing put out his hand to stop him: "Old man, the ancestors did not cheat you, there is a box of gold and silver jewelry under your kitchen stove, about three meters from the ground, dig it out, enough for your family to live a lifetime of food and clothing, don't work so hard in the future." After that, she slowly cleared the way and let the old driver drive away.
After all this drama, by the time dinner was over, it was late at night. Huo Bingbing did not go up the mountain to absorb Reiki because she was worried about several children. And the little ones had no chance to beat Aunt Zhao because her mother was at home.
Only, when they were about to go to bed, a few mice squeaked into the room, their little eyes dribbled around, saw a few little masters, hurriedly said: "Squeak squeak... Master, you're all right, you scared us to death." The story of a few small owners falling off the cliff has caused a sensation throughout the valley of the Wicked, even in the animal kingdom. After all, several owners are the sons and daughters of the ancestors, and if they have an accident, it is definitely an earth-shattering event.
Huo Dong lying on the bed, like a small adult waving his hand, indifferent said: "Nothing, nothing, have the mother in, we can have what?"
