It’s not like I haven’t seen piles of dead people on the way to escape.
But to make Jiang Yun, a killer who lives on a knife's edge, look so embarrassed is enough to show the cruelty of the barbarian's methods.
Pei Yubing's body was shaking violently, and Chu Huizhou put his arm around her shoulders.
"Are there any villagers still alive?"
Jiang Yun shook his head.
"The ones who are alive...maybe they ran away."
The four people set up a simple memorial platform by the roadside, burned a few sticks of incense and paid their respects.
The carriage continued to move forward and stopped at a creek on the roadside after a few steps.
The stream was stained red with blood, and the turbid water flowed downstream and merged into the rapid river.
Only the unsuspecting horses drank from the stream.
Chu Huizhou was actually the one with the best psychological quality. He looked as usual and urged the others to eat something and drink some water so they could continue on their way later.
"With this current situation, the situation in Jiangzhou is not optimistic either... Don't go into the city yet, go to my residence in the suburbs first."
There was no talking all the way, only the sound of horse hooves knocking.
Pei Yubing took a nap by the window, feeling extremely exhausted but unable to fall asleep.
Chu Huizhou's small courtyard is about a few miles away from the city.
During this period, it was an unkempt meadow full of wild flowers and weeds. Occasionally, there were a few wheat fields that had been crushed flat and strong, with piles of wheat and chestnuts piled on them.
The section of road approaching the door of the house is a path filled with stones.
The sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the fields are filled with yellow flowers.
If they weren't running for their lives at this moment, this would be a good place for a trip and relaxation.
At this time, the carriage had arrived at the door of the yard. Chu Huizhou jumped out of the car, followed by Jiang Hui. He first tied the reins on the horse's head to a hitching post on the right side of the door, and then let Pei The two sisters came down.
Chu Huizhou led them in with ease. The tile-roofed courtyard was not big but was well kept. The farmland in the courtyard had some weeds growing out of it for several days.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
It’s indeed a good place to stay right now.
Pei Yubing suddenly saluted Chu Huizhou.
"What does this mean?"
"If you don't mind, Master, can you keep us sisters for a few days?"
Chu Huizhou nodded, his eyes drifting to the other two people.
Along the way, they would make signs that only the Pei family could understand, but there was still no news about their father.
Pei Yubing's voice was calm, but with unquestionable determination.
"Jiang Yun."
"My subordinate is here."
"My sister and I will stay here for the time being. You can find a way to find out about dad."
Jiang Yun's duty is to protect the safety of the two ladies, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"this……"
Pei Shuxue also disagreed.
"If Jiang Yun doesn't follow us, we will be in big trouble. You and I are two weak women..."
Although Pei Shuxue said this, she knew in her heart that it was just a last resort out of desperation.
"This place is so remote that ordinary people may not be able to find it, let alone..."
Pei Yubing's eyes fell on Chu Huizhou for a moment.
"And Mr. Chu."
Chu Huizhou's heart skipped a beat.
"He has grown up here since he was a child and is familiar with the environment here. It is not a problem for a few of us to protect ourselves."
Chu Huizhou: "..."
This girl is beautiful, but why is she breathing heavily when she talks?
But even if she didn't say anything, Chu Huizhou would still have to find ways to keep the person here.
Are you kidding? He is just a time-traveler who doesn't understand anything. How can he live in the future if he doesn't know a few local residents?
Now that there are wars everywhere, he might be in danger of being invaded by barbarians one day.
Chu Huizhou had already made plans and now he would hold Pei Yubing's thigh tightly.
Seeing Chu Huizhou's silence, Pei Yubing pursed his lips and asked him again.
"What do you think, Mr. Chu?"
"I have no opinion."
When the head of the family is away, Jiang Yun naturally has to listen to the orders of the two young ladies.
So after packing up his things, Jiang Yun tapped his toes and disappeared from sight in a few breaths.
Chu Huizhou touched his chin and couldn't help but admired how amazing it was.
"When my father chose Jiang Yun as his bodyguard, it was because he was gifted with light kung fu."
Several people moved the contents of the carriage into the house.
Pei Shuxue rarely complained or complained about being tired, and stayed silent to help.
At this moment, he was struggling to carry the barrel in his hands and came in from the door with unsteady steps. He saw Pei Yubing who was burning firewood and opened his mouth to say something. He stopped talking several times and finally chose silence.
Pei Yubing stared at the firewood in a daze. This cheap sister of hers had been particularly calm these past two days. Perhaps the changes in her family had changed her temperament a lot.
Get rid of the weird thoughts in your mind, after all, life still has to go on.
The silence of the two sisters showed that Chu Huizhou was very active. When he came back from digging some vegetables in the field, he said he wanted to show off his skills to them.
A loud clanging sound came from the small kitchen.
Pei Yubing ran in and saw a confused Chu Huizhou holding a spatula in front of the stove.
"The pot is too hot. Wait until it cools down before touching it... What is this?"
The rice porridge in the pot was rolling and bubbling, but the color looked wrong and there was an unpleasant smell.
Chu Huizhou scratched his head.
"Stewed porridge with cabbage and sweet potatoes."
Isn’t cooking just about washing and throwing edible things into the pot?
The modern cooking idiot thought confidently.
Pei Yubing took the spatula obediently and scooped out the messy porridge in the pot without any explanation.
After a while, the perfectly cooked porridge and several appetizers were brought to the table.
Chu Huizhou didn't expect that she, a young lady from a wealthy family, could wash her hands and make soup.
Chu Huizhou took a sip of the hot porridge, and his stomach instantly felt warm. He felt so happy, even though it was just an ordinary bowl of white porridge.
Pei Yubing picked up a dish with chopsticks and asked as if thinking of something.
"Sir, I clearly didn't see these vegetables in the yard?"
Of course not, because this is the dish I brought out from Yu Perry’s spiritual field.
Of course Chu Huizhou couldn't tell the truth, so he mumbled haha.
"...I just picked it outside the backyard,"
Fortunately, Pei Yubing didn't suspect anything, so he nodded and started eating.
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
Chu Huizhou expected that she would ask such a question, but he didn't expect that she would ask it right now.
"Now that wars are raging, no one can live in peace anywhere..."
Chu Huizhou showed a lonely expression. Before he finished speaking, he heard Pei Shuxue speak suddenly.
"Master Chu, come with us to Luo City."
Pei Shuxue's tone was a bit stiff.
Hearing this, Pei Yubing and Chu Huizhou looked at each other inexplicably, and they both saw a bit of surprise in each other's eyes.
Pei Yubing was stunned for a moment, and Chu Huizhou continued to speak calmly.
"...It's good that we can take care of each other."
