After bidding farewell to their father in the early morning, the two embarked on the road to Fuxian County and got on the ox cart taken by the village chief's family to the county seat. After arriving at the county seat, the road to Fuxian County was relatively long, about sixty or seventy kilometers.
The two of them put their minds together and decided to go to a carriage rental company and rent a carriage to travel.
The car rental agency is currently doing a booming business, and there are many children going to the county to take the exam. When Ying Chu took a look around, he found that there were also children in their fifties and sixties among them.
"Hey, are you also going to the county to take the college examination?" A man wearing a wide-sleeved gown came up to talk to him. He was thin and his back was straight, making it look like there was nothing under the gown. "I'm going to take the exam too. We just happened to share a carriage and save some money."
At first glance, Ying Ying was afraid that a gust of wind would blow him away, so he refused his carpool invitation, "No, I'm afraid of life, so let's forget it."
When the man heard Yingchu's polite refusal, he had no choice but to turn around and look for the next carpool partner.
Ying Chu quietly tilted his head and whispered to Yu An, who was holding his hand: "We are not short of money. Is it okay to rent a carriage just for us?"
Yu An nodded hurriedly. He didn't want to ride in the same carriage with a strange man along the way.
So Yingchu pulled Yu An and squeezed to the front, found the waiter at the car rental agency, and asked them how much it would cost to rent a carriage to the county.
"One kilometer costs two cents, and a carriage can seat four people. Are you sure you can only seat two people?" the waiter asked. After all, it is much more cost-effective to choose carpooling.
After getting the definite answer, the waiter took the two to one side and asked them to choose which carriage they wanted. Ying Chu looked around and asked for a relatively clean carriage.
He stared at the wheels of the carriage in trance. Two gears of different sizes were installed on the wheels of the carriage. A small gear was close to the large gear. The rotation of the wheel drove the small gear. When the large gear rotated once, it was transmitted to a wooden hammer. , a snare drum was placed under the wooden hammer.
"Coachman, how many kilometers does this wooden hammer hit each time?" Yingchu asked curiously.
The coachman was untying the reins on the carriage. He looked back at what Yingchu had said and replied: "I'll knock once after walking one kilometer. When I get to the county, I'll calculate the money based on the number of knocks."
Ying You nodded in understanding. He didn't expect that such a rigorous and scientific meter already existed in ancient times, which was quite convenient.
The two of them got on the carriage. The internal structure was better than expected, and the sides of the carriage could barely be used to lie on one's side with one's legs curled up.
After asking the two of them if they were sitting firmly, the driver led the horse and set off on the road.
You Yingchu unpacked his luggage, took out a small blanket, and said to Yu An: "An'an, come and catch up on some sleep. It's still a day before we get to the county. You didn't sleep well yesterday."
Yu An has never traveled far, and the farthest place he has traveled is the county town. It was his first time to go to the county. He was still a little nervous. He was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep last night, and Yingchu didn't sleep well either.
