Zichai sat in the place where she had rested before leaving, the panic caused by the disaster still echoing in her heart. She held her chest, as if this action could really make her breathe easier. After a while, she heard Su Qing arguing with the stableman taking care of the horses.
"Master Su, are you leaving now?"
"Hurry up and bring back our carriages and horses!"
"Is this...is this against the rules? You haven't said goodbye to Mr. Xiao yet? No, Mr. Xiao won't allow me to let you go at will."
After hearing this, Su Qing smiled helplessly and said, "Then you are really conscientious of your duties?" After saying that, he half-turned and sent a roundhouse kick, directly knocking away the opponent's passion and loyalty.
While the horseherd fell down and lost consciousness, Su Qing untied all the horses, slapped their butts hard, and drove them around.
Counting the horses of their group, there were a total of eight horses left in the camp, among which five good horses should be the spare horses for the noble gentlemen. At the same time, Su Qing also planned to steal all the supplies he could take away. Because there are too many rations of these materials: dried beef and mutton, cheese, goat milk, etc. There are countless such things, enough to feed him and Bai Feng for ten days and a half.
For this reason, he had to ask Zi Chai, who was still depressed, for help many times and called her several times, but in the end he got no answer.
After begging feebly for who knows how many times, Zichai suddenly asked in hindsight: "Mr. Su, did you already know that Xiao Sugu was a man with a human face and a beast's heart?"
"So, Xiao Zichai finally understands now?" Su Qing explained interestingly: "Those dandy boys have many hobbies! They like beauties, horses, swords, dogs, and cats. , like wine ponds and meat forests, almost fall in love with each one when they see them, after today, how can they remember us unknown people?"
Zichai remained silent and turned her eyes to the land of grace, while Su Qing continued to search for loot. Every time he walked out of a tent, he returned with a full load.
After a while, a smile slowly appeared on Zi Chai's face that always seemed to have only a sad and aggrieved expression?
Su Qing, who had just walked out of a tent with a pile of rations in his arms, thought this scene was very strange, so he followed the other person's line of sight with curiosity.
Bai Feng and Murong Yan were still sitting quietly by the lake. If only counting the time Xiao Sigugu and others spent hunting and competing, the two of them would have been able to stay for at least one stick of incense.
They sit side by side. Although there is always a subtle distance between them that has never been crossed by each other, it does not make others think that they are two lovers who were once very familiar with each other, but there are rifts in their relationship, because when they are talking, , eyes always glance towards another person inadvertently.
Even if the two people's eyes were elsewhere at the last moment, it wouldn't take long for their eyes to focus back on the same point.
Zi Chai, who was sitting here, couldn't hear what interesting things the two heroes were saying, but she could see that when she saw an eccentric girl, she would secretly move her fingers across the distance and pull something. Pulling the other person's sleeves and squeezing the other person's hand; while the other young man responded in a more subtle way. He moved his feet and lightly touched the other person's feet. When dust fell on the other person's white shoes and skirt, instead of apologizing, he smiled mischievously.
Bai Feng smiled and said something, but Murong Yan didn't feel angry. Instead, she was wiping the dust on her clothes and laughing along with her. Seeing their gratuitous happy smiles, Zichai sitting here also smiled.
"What on earth is going on?" Zi Chai thought, and found that Su Qing was staring at the side like her, so she asked him: "Master Su, are they talking about something interesting?"
"Oh, what good things can happen? It's just a matter between young lovers." Su Qing replied with disdain: "Since Xiao Zichai is happy, why not come and help your young master and eat and drink these things?" Put everything into the carriage?"
Hearing Su Qing's words, Zi Chai immediately shrugged and said with sadness and confusion: "What on earth is going on..."
"Oh, you are not done yet! As long as you have someone you like by your side, you can still find fun even when facing an old turtle."
"Then why have I never seen you and Madam so affectionate? Could it be that I have embarrassed the young master by staying with Madam all day long?"
"No... no, what does this have to do with me? How I, Su Qing, treat you two sisters can be learned from the sun and the moon! What's more, we are already old, why do we have to stay together like that all day long, loving each other every day? What about..."
Zi Chai paused for a moment, rubbed her chapped lips with her fingers, and murmured: "Is that so?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qing yelled at Bai Feng and Murong Yan on the shore of the lake: "Brother Bai, Miss Murong, we should leave, we must leave before they find us!"
"Okay, let's come right now!" Bai Feng stood up and turned around to wave, then helped Murong Yan, whose legs had become numb from sitting, staggering back step by step.
Seeing that Murong Yan was still smiling in such embarrassment, Zi Chai's glow of happiness became even more intense than before, so she couldn't help but move closer, intending to take over Bai Feng's position.
After hearing Su Qing's explanation, Bai Feng was naturally filled with righteous indignation and followed him to carry water and food and fight against the bullies. This was in line with his chivalry.
The two girls returned to the carriage first and sat down. While Zi Chai was sorting out the supplies that had been brought up, she tirelessly asked Murong Yan: "Why didn't you notice that your legs were numb? What on earth were you and Mr. Bai talking about? , it makes people very happy to see it..."
Murong Yan sat there to help, complaining that the rock she was sitting on was uneven. As for what she and Bai Feng were talking about, she just replied shyly: "They are all boring things. It's just a matter of talking about them." Afraid of making a joke."
At first, Zichai didn't believe the answer given by Murong Yan at all. She just felt that it was perfunctory. At that time, she used her recent experience as a negative example and said: "Why did Xiao Sugu clearly say He wanted to teach me how to ride a horse, but in the end he tricked me into hiding in the mountains and forests! If it weren’t for Mr. Su, I would have been..."
"Master Su really treats Sister Zichai as a family member. I'm afraid he wants you to see the real evildoers in this world. Not all of them have a chivalrous heart like Master Su."
"Then Mr. Bai, what did he say to you to make Sister Murong stay with him for so long?"
"He pointed to the hillside over there and said that it looked like his home, except that there was a bamboo hut missing. He saw bird nests in the trees and asked me if I could use them. He saw fish in the lake and did not forget to show off. When I was a kid, I went down to the river to catch fish..."
They were all very ordinary things, but in the end, even Zichai was fascinated by them.
