Mo Qin didn't dare to go any further, so he could only find a place to hide, planning to wait until there was no sound ahead before going out.
Even though she was wearing a raincoat, the clothes on her body still inevitably got wet, especially the hem of her skirt. It was not only wet but also stained with a lot of mud. The tender green hem of her skirt could no longer see its original appearance.
The wet clothes stuck to her body and felt cold. Mo Qin thought she might catch a cold.
The fight ahead didn't last long, but it stopped after a quarter of an hour.
Mo Qin squatted for a while longer, giving them time to search for loot.
Mo Qin continued to move forward only when there was no sound ahead.
The victorious party did not clean up the corpses. Dozens of corpses lay there carelessly, letting the rain wash away, and the blood was mixed with mud, making them filthy.
The bodies had obviously been searched, and their clothes were torn and had signs of being torn.
Mo Qin decisively took on the responsibility of the second search.
Fortunately, I found money from those people. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to hail a car on the main road and give her a ride.
Thank nature for its gifts.
The fight took place not far from the road, which was wide and stretched to both ends, seemingly without end.
This is near the capital, and the original owner has some impressions of this area. Mo Qin still knows which way to go.
But if we really wanted to walk back, it would be dark anyway.
Mo Qin planned to stop the car while walking.
She hopes to meet a kind-hearted person to give her a ride, for a fee of course.
The traffic flow on this road was good, and Mo Qin soon waited for a carriage to pass by.
"drive!"
When the driver saw someone blocking his car, he had no intention of stopping and just passed by.
This is not surprising.
Picking up random people on the street has already discouraged many people, let alone a dirty clay figure like her.
The muscular coachman seemed to have already known his master's temperament, and had no intention of slowing down to ask.
Not long after the carriage passed, another group of people on horseback passed by. On a rainy day full of earthy smell, Mo Qin smelled a hint of blood.
Mo Qin couldn't help but take a second look, wondering if those people were the same group that had been fighting in the rain just now.
After all, the smell of blood on their bodies has not been washed away by such a heavy rain, and they obviously got it not long ago.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Mo Qin finally succeeded in stopping a carriage after several failures.
The carriage's low-key appearance reveals a touch of nobility, and its interior is even more spacious and luxurious.
Mo Qin took out the silver that was still warm and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help. I only have these silver coins with me, so please don't be too short."
The man in white robe and jade crown looked at the silver in Mo Qin's hand but did not take it.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his smile was gentle.
"I took the girl for a ride without any trouble, but she soiled my carriage. I'm afraid the money won't be enough."
He looked at Mo Qin, his expression not frivolous.
"I think the girl is well-dressed. Although I don't know why she is here alone, I have helped you at least. It shouldn't be too much to ask for the due reward, right?"
Mo Qin took back the silver in his hand and said, "I wonder what reward you want, Master?"
The man smiled and said, "Girl, you can order someone to send you enough silver after you return home, or..."
His eyes fell on Mo Qin's head and he continued: "Maybe you can give me the hairpin on your head as payment."
Mo Qin hesitated for two seconds, then took a hairpin from her head and gave it to him.
Anyway, this hairpin is not a valuable item. It was just bought in an ordinary store. After leaving her hand, who would have known that it belonged to her.
But if someone sends money after returning home, then the two parties will be equivalent to revealing their identities to each other and having contacts.
The man took the hairpin and felt the cold touch on his fingertips.
"So, we are in peace?"
Mo Qin sat close to the car door and did not move around to avoid soiling more areas.
She thanked her again, "Well, thank you sir."
The two of them didn't say a word again after that.
Mo Qin arrived at his destination in less than half an hour.
She did not let the man take her home, but chose a crossroads that was not far away but connected in all directions.
The man lifted a corner of the car curtain, looked at the girl's retreating back, and smiled a little, "You are quite vigilant."
After looking at it twice, he ordered the driver, "Let's go."
The carriage drove away and stopped in front of a restaurant.
He went straight upstairs and came to the private room. There was a person sitting in the private room. The man was dressed in black and was eating.
Yun Rongsheng sat over and poured himself a glass of wine:
"You won't wait for me?"
The originally handsome man in white actually looked inferior in front of the man in black.
Hearing Yun Rongsheng's words, the man in black just said lightly, "You're late."
"Hey, I have a date with a beautiful lady." The man in white robe laughed it off and took a sip of wine, "Good wine!"
Thinking of something, the smile on his face faded slightly, "You can't drink?"
The man in black glanced at him, seemingly disgusted.
"It turns out you ordered it specially for me! Brother Ye, who knows me well."
After eating a few bites of food and drinking a few glasses of wine, Yun Rongsheng took out a hairpin from his arms.
"I just met a beautiful woman on the road, and this was given to me by that beautiful woman."
Jun Ye raised his eyes and looked at the hairpin, feeling that it looked familiar. Combined with the chance encounter on the road, he immediately guessed the whole story.
Although he didn't agree to let the woman take the ride at that time, he was still somewhat impressed.
But as for the appearance, I have no impression at all.
"I don't know which young lady she is. If she has a similar family background, it seems good to marry her."
Jun Ye glanced at him and said without mercy, "You always say this whenever you meet a pretty woman."
Yun Rongsheng: "..." Is he this kind of person?
Jun Ye: You are.
-
The place where Mo Qin got off the carriage was not far from the General's Mansion. Before it got completely dark, Mo Qin successfully knocked on the door of the General's Mansion.
The boy opened the door a crack, looked out, and was startled.
"Miss! Why do you..."
Mo Qin's beautiful face was bloodless, and she was wrapped in a wide coir raincoat. Although she couldn't see the soaked dress under the coir raincoat, a small puddle of rainwater had dripped under her feet.
He quickly opened the door and welcomed people in.
When the original owner went out, he followed the boy and a maid, but now only Mo Qin came back, and he was still in such a mess.
When Mo Qin returned to the courtyard, the maids in the courtyard were also frightened. They prepared water for bathing and ginger tea to ward off the cold.
After working for a long time, it was completely dark.
But many people saw Mo Qin's appearance when she came back, but the parents of the original owner were not seen, and no one was even sent to ask.
It can be seen that the parents of the original owner are not interested in her.
A maid in pink clothes put away the bowl and said worriedly:
"Miss, why are you back alone? Where is that girl Nian Xia?"
Nian Xia is the maid who went out with the original owner.
When the original owner woke up, there were no servants or maids there.
Of course, Mo Qin couldn't say that he was beaten unconscious and taken away. "When I came back, I met gangsters and got separated from them. Go to your mother's house, report this to her, and ask her to send someone to look for her."
