Summer is long and the scorching sun makes people upset.
More than ten hours have passed since Chen Yanrong escaped from Yunhu Village last night.
Although she could no longer hear the sounds of shouting and killing, and she couldn't feel anyone following her behind her, Chen Yanrong still didn't dare to stop.
"Mountain Master, it's too hot today. Why don't we go to the mountain to rest for a while!" A confidant took the initiative to say something to Chen Yanrong.
However, Chen Yanrong said to them, "You still have time to rest. Are you afraid that they won't be able to catch up with us?"
"But Mountain Master, it's too hot today, we're also thirsty, and we're really tired after climbing the mountain for a day." Another confidant only whispered a word of mercy.
Chen Yanrong originally wanted to refuse, but looking at the group of people who followed her, she was afraid that if she refused too harshly, they would rebel.
So she just said, "Hold on a little longer. This mountain trail is not safe. And there is no water source. If I remember correctly, there should be a small tea shed not far ahead. We guys can go for a walk." How about taking a tea break at the tea shed in front?"
Upon hearing Chen Yanrong's words, the exhausted group of people immediately regained their energy and said, "Okay!"
Then Chen Yanrong took this group of people on the road.
It's just that the tea shed she mentioned was not seen by anyone after walking for a long time.
They even asked no less than ten times if the tea shed would be arriving soon, and Chen Yanrong said it would be soon every time.
As a result, the tea shed was still missing. Therefore, everyone can't help but discount Chen Yanrong's statement.
There was even someone who couldn't help but said loudly, "I can't walk anymore. Whoever wants to go can go! Anyway, I won't go!"
Hearing someone speaking like this, Chen Yanrong could only look at the others, but even her most loyal confidant couldn't help but said to her, "Mountain Master, why don't we take a rest? It's already noon. It’s too hot.”
After hearing what others said, Chen Yanrong couldn't help but said, "Okay, since you all said so, I won't say anything else. But let's walk a little further. Am I sure that there is really a teahouse in front of us?"
However, no one wants to believe Chen Yanrong's words now.
Chen Yanrong saw that everyone no longer paid attention to her words, so she stopped talking immediately.
It was past noon, and they were hot and hungry. After running around all night, they could only sit on the path aside to rest.
And just when everyone was getting ready to feel miserable, there was a sudden rumble of carriages not far away. Everyone was panicked, wondering if someone from the government was catching up again?
At that moment, everyone was so frightened that they immediately hid in the woods.
However, when the carriage appeared on the scene, what people saw were not people from the government. Those people seemed to be a group of ordinary commercial carriages.
There are about a dozen carriages here. Except for the two carriages in front, almost all of the dozen or so carriages in the back just hold some large boxes.
Although they also have servants, they only have about ten servants. If they take action, they may not be able to subdue them immediately.
Of course, the most important thing is that there must be some pearls and gems hidden in their big box.
When I think of this, these people can't help but commit their old habits again.
"Mountain Master, they seem to be very rich. Should we hurt them before leaving?"
However, Chen Yanrong was very vigilant about this matter. When she heard this, she only said in a low voice, "It's better not to do this for the time being. We are going to seek refuge. It's better to avoid trouble on the way."
Upon hearing Chen Yanrong's words, the man immediately said, "Mountain Master, we are now homeless dogs. It doesn't matter what we want. Let's go and take refuge with others. Why should we take refuge? What should we take refuge with? In my opinion, we should still do it Why don’t you take refuge with someone valuable?”
Upon hearing what the other party said, Chen Yanrong had to admit that she was indeed a little moved.
In addition, at this time, no
Coincidentally, the motorcade actually stopped at this time. At the same time, a young woman's voice was heard from the second carriage saying, "Thank you for your hard work. We have been traveling all night, so why not go first?" Let’s rest here for a while. Let’s make a fire and cook on the spot. Let’s set off later. Leiyang City is almost here anyway.”
After hearing the woman's suggestion, everyone else naturally followed suit. Within a short time, the team of carriages and horses also stopped moving forward.
At the same time, many people actually took a rest in the shade of the forest. Of course, there were also people making fires to cook.
Seeing that this group of people actually had the time and leisure to light a fire and cook, this group of onlookers must have had evil thoughts.
After Chen Yanrong estimated the number of people who came out, she felt that her side might be able to fight.
However, when she was about to give the order to fight hard, unexpectedly, more than a dozen Wutou bodyguards suddenly got out of the first carriage.
If they join these escorts, they will have no chance of winning now.
Therefore, when Chen Yanrong saw that something was wrong, she immediately changed her tune and said to the others, "If any of you have croton, give them some croton laxative, or whoever has croton, the effect will naturally be better." "
Regarding Chen Yanrong's arrangement, a group of people naturally only praised Chen Yanrong for her good arrangements.
It's a pity that everyone searched around but found nothing.
Now it's embarrassing.
If you want to be tough, you have no strength; if you want to use crooked methods, there is no medicine.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Just when everyone was looking at each other, a man collecting firewood happened to have discovered them.
The scene became even more embarrassing now. The man just stared at them quietly, and they also looked at the young man gathering firewood quietly.
Just when they were considering whether to kill the young man directly without stopping.
Unexpectedly, the young man immediately raised his head and said happily, "Are you also a team resting in the forest? We didn't disturb you, right?"
Hearing this man's stupid question, even if Chen Yanrong really had murderous intentions at the moment, she had to give in. Then she just smiled and said, "No excuses, we just heard the sound of the carriage and thought it was bandits, so We were so scared that we hid."
Upon hearing this, the man seemed to have no scheming. On the contrary, he only invited Chen Yanrong very warmly, "I see, but there are a lot of bandits here. It's not safe to walk on the road. If you don't mind, you can Come and sit with us."
Hearing this, Chen Yanrong naturally wanted to wave her hand, but before she could refuse, the man enthusiastically pulled Chen Yanrong out of the forest.
When others saw Chen Yanrong and the group of men behind Chen Yanrong, they naturally couldn't help but have some doubts.
"Dawei, who did you bring here?"
Only the person who pulled Chen Yanrong over had no doubts about Chen Yanrong. He even just pulled Chen Yanrong to introduce to others, "This girl is a passer-by like us."
After hearing the man's introduction, his companion just pointed at the group of people behind him and said, "Who are these people?"
The man called Dawei really couldn't name these people for a moment, but Chen Yanrong already had her own idea from them.
So she just smiled slightly at the others and said, "Hello everyone, they are my cousins. We were planning to go to Anxi this time!"
Upon hearing Chen Yanrong's words, the person who asked the question asked again, "Anxi is quite far away. Do you have any carriages or horses?"
When Chen Yanrong heard this, she naturally said, "Of course."
However, after hearing Chen Yanrong's words, the man immediately said, "Really? But why haven't I seen your carriage since I came here?"
Hearing this, Chen Yanrong also realized that this person was digging a hole waiting for him to jump out. If it were an ordinary person, many people would probably fall into such a deep hole and be unable to jump out.
However, Chen Yanrong
Her thinking is much sharper than that of ordinary people, so when faced with the man's doubts, Chen Yanrong not only did not show any panic, on the contrary, she could only calmly say on this basis, "Of course you can't see our carriage. Because our carriages and horses were snatched away by bandits on the road. In fact, we just thought you were bandits who stole our things? That’s why we hid as soon as we heard the sound of people. Already."
After saying this, Chen Yanrong only pretended to be sad.
Look at Chen Yanrong's appearance, although she is down and out, she is still very charming. It was really hard for everyone to think of her as a bandit.
Although the other dozen or so people were taller and looked more embarrassed, it was obvious that they were also very embarrassed and looked tired.
Therefore, Chen Yanrong's words eliminated most of people's doubts about their group.
When the young man named Dawei saw Chen Yanrong's sad look, he immediately began to comfort Chen Yanrong, "Girl, don't be too sad. If you are on your way, we can take you back."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yanrong only pretended to light up.
Then she shyly said, "May I ask where you are going?"
"Leiyang City."
Upon hearing that it was Leiyang City, Chen Yanrong immediately said, "Leiyang City is exactly opposite to where we are going, so we won't bother you all."
After saying this, she was about to get up. Dawei was obviously interested in Chen Yanrong. When he saw that Chen Yanrong was about to leave, he wanted to stop Chen Yanrong. "Girl, they are not going with the way. I am going with the way. Why not wait for you to follow us?" We went to Leiyang City together. I will take you to Anxi again!"
However, after hearing what the other party said, Chen Yanrong refused again without mercy.
Are you kidding me? He had gone through so much trouble to escape from Leiyang and was not chased by Zhao Yanzhen again. Now he actually wants to leave. Isn't this nonsense?
