Chapter 183: Escaped
As soon as the carriage entered the mountain road, it began to jolt, and Donghua suddenly frowned and asked, "Miss, do you have any other strange sounds?" ”
"Strange sounds?" Gu Jiaoxiang looked at her and asked rhetorically, seeing that Donghua opened the curtain slightly and looked out, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, as if there was no strange sound of wheels rolling. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Just when Gu Jiaoxiang was listening attentively to the movement outside, the carriage slammed, and there was another bump of a large amplitude, but in addition to the sound of the bump crashing out, it seemed to be faintly mixed with other sounds.
It was as if something had suddenly cracked.
Gu Jiaoxiang and Dong Hua glanced at each other, both frowning, thinking about what this familiar-sounding clicking sound was.
As a result, while the master and servant were pondering, the carriage jolted heavily again, still with that clattering sound.
And this time, the obvious sound was much stronger than before, like the sound of a tree branch being broken, which made the two of them look at each other in surprise, and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces together.
"Master Wu, stop, stop quickly!" Gu Jiaoxiang was the first to come back to her senses, and suddenly shouted at the driver who was driving outside the car.
"Miss, the road here is a little narrow, there is a slope next to it, if you are not in a hurry, I will rush to the front for a while, and stop on the wide road in front of the expiration, okay?" Master Wu was startled by Gu Jiaoxiang's sudden shout, and glanced around, which was not suitable for parking, so he persuaded him with good words.
"Stop now, it's too late!" Gu Jiaoxiang's voice was a little cold, not as anxious as Fang Cai, but as soon as this cold voice came out, he couldn't help but make Master Wu shiver, thinking that after all, this eldest lady is a master, and he is a slave who can only obey orders, let him stop, he just stops, and he is kind enough to persuade something, in case he annoys the master, he has no good fruit to eat.
So he immediately let out a long cry, grabbed the rope tightly, stopped the carriage, and then jumped down and waited tightly.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Jiaoxiang jumped out of the carriage with the help of Donghua.
"Miss!" Master Wu hurriedly bowed his head at Gu Jiaoxiang and said goodbye, waiting for her to give orders.
"Master Wu, go and see if there's something wrong with the wheels? It doesn't sound right to me! Gu Jiaoxiang pointed to the place where the wheels of the carriage were and instructed Master Wu.
Master Wu listened to Gu Jiaoxiang's words, his face was a little unhappy, and he felt that she was doubting that she was not doing her job properly, so she immediately replied: "Impossible Miss, I will check this carriage carefully every time I go out, how can there be a problem." ”
"Whatever the eldest lady tells you to do, you can do it quickly, what so much nonsense!" Dong Hua scolded Master Wu with a stunned face, seeing that Master Wu's face was even more displeased, and he wanted to reprimand a few words at his mouth, but was stopped by Gu Jiaoxiang.
Gu Jiaoxiang glanced at the road in front of and behind, and found that the road was indeed very narrow, and if there was really any accident in the carriage, they would probably fall directly down the steep slope next to the road.
Seeing that there was a carriage behind them gradually approaching, she turned her mind around, turned her head and said to Master Wu: "You just go and take a look, the carriage behind this road is about to catch up, if there is really no problem, we have to hurry up, don't block other people's way." ”
Master Wu lowered his head, didn't dare to talk back, nodded and walked to the back of the car, looked left and right at the bottom of the car, there was no problem, he was a little annoyed in his heart, he had been doing the car for so many years, and he didn't dare to guarantee anything else, but every time he had checked the car before, lest there was a problem on the road, and he would collide with the master, and he would not have good fruit to eat.
He checked the places he had checked on weekdays, and found that the eldest lady was suspicious, and the car was fine everywhere, was there anything wrong with it.
Master Wu walked to the side of the carriage, looked the carriage up and down, stretched out his foot and kicked the wheels of the carriage, and replied to Gu Jiaoxiang: "Miss, the small carriage has been checked, and it is indeed not ......."

Just as Master Wu kicked on the wheels of the carriage and replied to Gu Jiaoxiang, there was a sudden and obvious cracking sound from under the carriage, which directly interrupted Master Wu's words.
Master Wu's face was shocked, he had been driving for many years, and he could naturally hear what kind of sound this was, seeing that the carriage kicked past with his sense, making a strong breaking sound, and then only heard a bang, the carriage suddenly sank and slanted against this side of the slope, he suddenly knew that something was wrong, his face turned pale, and shouted at Gu Jiaoxiang: "Miss be careful!" ”
After shouting, he looked up and saw that Gu Jiaoxiang and Donghua had already retreated to a place where the carriage couldn't touch, and he immediately hid back.
Master Wu hid under the big rock on the side of the road with his head in his hands, and as soon as he hid, he heard the rumbling sound coming out behind him, accompanied by the neighing of horses.
This frightened sound attracted pedestrians on the road. They all stopped to find out, and what they saw in front of them was the ancient and fragrant carriage, and together with the horses, they turned over under the slope.
There was a timid and careless lady and young lady, seeing this thrilling scene, immediately screamed in shock, and for a while, on this path, the birds flew and screamed again and again.
"Mother, what's going on behind me, I seem to hear someone screaming again." On Zhang's carriage, which was urging the carriage to go quickly, Gu Jingxiang heard a scream behind her, and immediately lifted the curtain curiously and poked her head out to look behind, but she didn't see anything from afar, and immediately retracted her head and asked Zhang with a puzzled expression.
Zhang's smile was very happy at this time, just like her mood at this time, when she heard Gu Jingxiang's question, she just smiled and glared at her, pretending to be angry: "Curious about what to do, let's hurry up, and get to Xianglu in a while, if you go early, you can rest in a good room in the Yuan room, and then wait for the exam with peace of mind."
"Mother, you seem to be very happy? Do you know what's going on behind you? Surely something happened to that little slut, I wonder I didn't see her carriage. Gu Jiaoxiang glanced at Zhang, only to think that her smile was a little strange, so she asked curiously.
"Don't talk nonsense, sit down quickly, you can sit in the car with peace of mind, and you will arrive at the Xianglu immediately, and there will be nothing to make you curious." Zhang poked Gu Shizuka's forehead angrily and reprimanded.
Gu Jingxiang pursed her lips, seeing what Zhang said this, although she was curious, she could only endure it and watch the excitement, God knows what earth-shattering events happened behind her!
Looking at where Gu Jiaoxiang was behind, Donghua tightly tugged on Gu Jingxiang's sleeve, and the two of them watched the carriage roll down the slope, and they were very fortunate in their hearts.
If they hadn't found out in time and got out of the carriage in advance, I'm afraid that they would have rolled down with the carriage today, not to mention going to Xiangkao, and whether the little life could be saved is another matter.
When the carriage rolled to the bottom of the slope, it stopped when it was stopped by a big tree, and the screams around her gradually stopped, Gu Jiaoxiang sighed, and saw someone running towards her in the afterglow, and knelt down in front of her.
"The eldest lady spared her life, and the small dereliction of duty disturbed the eldest lady! Please spare your life! Master Wu knew that although the eldest lady of his family had escaped this catastrophe, in the final analysis, the carriage would break and cause an accident, or he had not done it well.
"Get up!" Gu Jiaoxiang spoke at Master Wu.
Seeing that he was still kneeling on the ground and trembling uneasily, she sighed and ordered: "Master Wu, if you can, please take the trouble to untie the horse, and then take a look, how is the carriage broken?" ”
"Is this girl in trouble?"
Just as she finished speaking, a slender man in a black robe stepped forward, saluted Gu Jiaoxiang with a fist and asked, and then pointed to the carriage behind her: "My lord said that if the girl is in trouble, just open her mouth, if she can do her best, she should not give up." ”
The man's steps were light, and when he came, Gu Jiaoxiang didn't notice it, and suddenly heard him speak, so he turned his head and glanced at the person, but he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the person, and after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, he suddenly lowered his head and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and his mind turned.
"Thank you for the little girl." Gu Jiaoxiang curtsied at this person, then glanced at Master Wu, who was full of anxiety on his face, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said to this person: "This strong man ......"
"Contemptible surname Liu!" The black-robed man interrupted Gu Jiaoxiang's words.
"This Mr. Liu, can you please help my coachman take a look at where the car is, how did this car disconnect?" Gu Jiaoxiang hurriedly changed her words and pleaded at the person.
"Yes!" The man hugged his fist at Gu Jiaoxiang, replied politely, and with his movements, a breeze hit Gu Jiaoxiang's face, Gu Jiaoxiang coughed lightly, and his face was a little strange.
The man didn't notice it, but just glanced down the slope, and flew away in the carriage under the slope with a direct foot, which was enough to see that this person was very good at kung fu.
Gu Jiaoxiang saw that the person was just a few light steps, and landed on the side of the carriage, she glanced at Master Wu next to her, Master Wu seemed to feel her gaze, quickly shrunk a little, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the carriage.
"Miss, Xiangkao ......" Donghua tugged at her sleeve with some uneasiness, wanting to remind her not to forget about Xiangkao.
"Don't be impatient, the incense examination will start in about two hours, and we should be in time." Gu Jiaoxiang comforted Donghua.
Donghua was a little worried, their carriage became like this, it is estimated that they will not be able to ride, and at the moment this position is not up or down, it is really impossible to go to the village and not to the store, how can they go to Xianglu still have a good idea.
Gu Jiaoxiang didn't think about it so much, her eyes glanced at the slope a few times, and then turned her gaze to a magnificent carriage not far from the road.
Gu Jiaoxiang had good eyes, and when she looked over, she found that the curtain of the carriage was opened, and she vaguely saw that someone in the carriage was looking this way, and she didn't know if the person was looking at herself, so she bowed her knees in the direction of the carriage and bowed her knees, and turned her eyes to the slope again.
At this moment, it seemed that the investigation over there had also been completed, and the man in the black robe shook and swung, stood on tiptoe again, and flew to the side of the road in a few steps, and Master Wu did take the frightened horse in his hand and kept comforting and dragging it up.
"This girl." The man apologized again at Gu Jiaoxiang, looked at her with some strange looks on his face, and then spoke: "Liu has already inspected the carriage, with all due respect to Liu, this carriage is man-made!" ”
Gu Jiaoxiang didn't seem to be surprised at all when she heard this person's words, but just curtsied at him and smiled: "I'm tired of Mr. Liu." ”
"It's okay, but I don't know what the girl plans to do next?" Mr. Liu glanced at Gu Jiaoxiang, glanced at the carriage under the slope, and when he looked at her again, there was some indescribable emotion on his face: "Do you need to report to the official?" ”
"No need." Gu Jiaoxiang shook her head with a smile, looked up at the sky, and sighed: "I'm afraid it's delaying, it's too late to go to Xianglu." ”
"The girl is going to Yangcheng Xianglu?" When Mr. Liu heard Gu Jiaoxiang's words, he suddenly asked.
"Exactly, the little girl is going to take the little incense test of Xianglu, but it's just ......" Gu Jiaoxiang looked in the direction of Yangcheng Xianglu, and her face was embarrassed.
The carriage broke down, and the people who had seen enough excitement on the road before also left, and there seemed to be no one else to be found on this road except for this pair of people.
Gu Jiaoxiang sighed, to be honest, she really didn't want to ask for this big man.
"If the girl is worried that she can't find a carriage to hurry, why don't I go and inform my lord to see if I can get a carriage out and borrow a girl." Mr. Liu saw Gu Jiaoxiang's embarrassed expression in his eyes, and immediately made a suggestion.
"That's embarrassing." Gu Jiaoxiang refused on her face.
"It's okay, girl, wait a while, I'll talk back to my lord here." Mr. Liu waved his hand, and as he spoke, he was already walking towards his master's carriage.
He seemed to have spoken a few words to the people in front of the carriage, and at last he saluted with his fists, and then turned and came back this way.
"If the girl doesn't mind, my lord said that you can take the girl on the way, but there are a lot of goods on the carriage, I'm afraid I will wronged the girl."
"Mr. Liu is polite, the little woman is too late to be grateful, where will she feel wronged." Gu Jiaoxiang saluted him, and then smiled: "Please also ask Mr. Liu to bring a message to the lord of your mansion, thank you for your help, the little woman is grateful." ”
"The girl is serious! This way, please! Mr. Liu made a gesture of invitation to Gu Jiaoxiang.
Gu Jiaoxiang smiled at him and nodded, and then as if she wanted to think of something, she suddenly spoke: "I hope Mr. Liu will wait to see the guest for a while!" ”
After speaking, she turned to Master Wu, who happened to be leading the horse immediately, and instructed him: "You will only tell my father about this matter when you go home, and you will tell him so!" ”
