Chapter 69 Abnormality
Several people couldn't help but feel worried because of Li Xiaobao's words.
Even Zhi Zhi, who had always been chirping, became quiet at this time.
At the same time, the carriage also accelerated under the control of Li Xiaobao, and his expression became more and more solemn.
There was no other reason than that the carriage behind them also accelerated.
The sound of rolling wheels seemed to weigh on his heart, and for some reason they also sped up.
What was even more unacceptable was that Li Xiaobao felt the sounds of chaotic footsteps and cries not far ahead.
At this time, we are on the official road, and there is no feasible path. Even if we want to change the road temporarily, we can't do it.
He pondered for a moment and decided to explain these things to the girl in the car; "Girl, I'm afraid we have met a refugee"
After hearing what he said, Xie Fengyue couldn't help but wonder, had she really gone out without reading the almanac? How could he be so unlucky that he would encounter refugees when he left Chen County?
Zhi Zhi and Hua Rui in the carriage also looked at Xie Fengyue anxiously.
"Let's stop on the side of the road for now and let the carriage behind us go first. Going with them is too big a goal." Xie Fengyue said seriously.
This is the only solution now.
After all, those who can use carriages in Qian'an are considered rich and powerful people. In the eyes of the refugees, aren't these rich and powerful people just walking hot cakes?
In normal times, they might not have dared to come forward to ask for it, but now they have become refugees. The motivation brought by hunger will make them want to live even more strongly, and naturally they will become more courageous.
The sound of wheels stopped Li Xiaobao and parked the car at the corner of the road.
It was less than time for two cups of tea. When Fengyue opened the curtain, she saw three carriages coming slowly from behind.
The leading carriage was extremely luxurious, even the roof was inlaid with pearls. Due to the distance, Xie Fengyue didn't see any clan emblems on the carriage.
But just by looking at the luminous pearl, which is as big as a baby's fist, one can tell that this must be another carriage belonging to a noble family.
But the strange thing is that there are no soldiers or servants around the carriage.
Several people waited quietly in the car, the sound of wheels approaching.
The luxury of the carriage made Xie Fengyue even more astonished. Before, just seeing the luminous pearl from a distance was enough to surprise him.
But getting closer, you can see not only the luminous pearls on the roof of the carriage, but also the hanging curtains on the four corners of the carriage, which are decorated with pearls strung together in strings, and are as thin as gauze. Weiman, caged in the car windows on both sides.
The luxury of this carriage is comparable to the direct carriage she rode in when she was in Xie Mansion.
Just looking at its size, it is more than twice as big as the carriage Xie Fengyue is currently sitting in, not to mention what's inside, it must have everything, just like a small room.
Xie Fengyue and the others all held their breaths and waited quietly for the carriage to pass by them.
But things did not go as smoothly as they imagined. After the carriage passed them, it stopped not far away.
A person got out of the leading carriage. She was a little girl with a two-horse bun similar to that of a broken branch and wearing a bright yellow jacket. She asked with a puzzled expression, "Why don't you leave?"
When she saw Li Xiaobao's fierce scarred face, she immediately swallowed what she wanted to say and even stepped back.
Li Xiaobao seemed to raise a smile that seemed very friendly to him and replied: "My master said he would take a short break, so he stopped here."
The little girl stepped back and then stepped back: "When I saw your carriage before, I saw you suddenly speeding up. Even our carriage is as fast as ours, but we still can't catch up with you."
"Are you following us on purpose?" Li Xiaobao asked her.
The little girl was stunned, "What do you mean I'm following you on purpose? I just saw that we were all going this way, so I just wanted to go together."
Li Xiaobao fell silent after listening. How could such a wealthy family's carriage be said to want to travel together? But he really couldn't grasp this person's thoughts. After some consideration, he replied, "My master likes to be quiet and doesn't like to travel with others."
The little girl raised her eyebrows, with a bit of a look on her face, and snorted in her heart. It was just the first time for my girl to go out. She was in a happy mood and saw everything new. He really thought he had taken a liking to them.
If she were placed in Longxi, even if others begged to be with the girl, they still wouldn't be able to find a way. Nowadays, it's just that the girl feels that she is destined to meet on such a desolate road, so she wants to be with a merchant like them.
This person is so shameless, so ignorant.
Li Xiaobao didn't know what she was thinking, but he felt that this girl's expression was ugly and tight, as if she was constipated.
"You asked your master to come out and reply. What did you, a coachman, say?" she replied arrogantly.
In the gap between Li Xiaobao's silence, Xie Fengyue said: "I would like to thank your master for your kindness, but I do like to be alone, and our paths may be different. Even if we are companions, we will not get along for long."
Her voice was soft and soft, and her words were much more polite. The little girl felt a little less depressed.
"My girl said that it's such a beautiful spring day and we're all traveling together. Having someone to look after us can make the journey more fun. Why don't you think about it again."
Xie Fengyue was stupefied. Can this be called a beautiful spring? This is obviously a wilderness!
The origami beside her, listening to the little girl's words, is yours. He immediately became unhappy and opened his mouth to refute her, but was stopped by Xie Fengyue's look.
She curled her lips in grievance and retreated to a corner of the carriage.
"It's really no need. Thank you for your master's kindness."
Hearing the tone of her voice that could not be argued, the little girl also stopped thinking. She is not the kind of shameless person. She is a girl from the Li family in Longxi. She has no business to have too many entanglements with these business girls. Since she is so shameless , why should she rush?
So she simply turned around and left without even saying hello.
After seeing her talking to the people inside by the car window.
With quick hands and feet, he climbed into the carriage.
But a moment later the carriage in front moved.
Xie Fengyue and the others waited for the carriage to disappear along the winding official road before starting to set off.
It's not that Xie Fengyue doesn't know kindness, it's just that she feels that the car is so luxurious that if she really encounters a refugee, it will be a living target.
What are refugees? A person fleeing with his or her family is called a refugee. Only those who flee in groups can be called refugees.
What's more, going out in such a flamboyant way without even bringing any guards with you is really more naive than her.
In doing so, she was either leaving a backup plan, or she was too stupid and overconfident in herself.
Anyway, Xie Fengyue doesn't want to get involved with either of them, so they might as well go their separate ways. Anyway, the road is open to the sky, so each goes to one side.
Don't think of her condescending to agree with me, and naturally I won't try to reach out to her.
Although the carriage left, Xie Fengyue's heart was still pounding for no reason, as if something was going to happen.
She couldn't figure out the reason, so she simply closed her eyes and rested.
I don't know how long the carriage has been driving, but Li Xiaobao suddenly tightened the reins, and the horse neighed loudly, waking up Xie Fengyue who was sleeping soundly.
"The girl can't hide, there are refugees coming."
