Chapter 107: Into the Pit
The carriage is still simple, but in such a small and narrow space, how can she bring the two guards and the mother-in-law with her?
She frowned and silently weighed the pros and cons, thinking about whether it would take more time for Qingruo to hire a spacious carriage again, or it would be faster to go back to the house and change to another carriage.
It's just that after a little calculation in my heart, I feel that neither of these two are good choices, and the time it takes to hire a car is uncertain; It took too long to go back and change it......
She frowned, gritted her teeth secretly, and said resolutely, "We will hire this carriage, Qingruo you will come with me, and the rest of the people will go back to the house." β
Qing Ruo immediately looked at her in horror, "Miss? Is that good? β
"We're in a hurry," Mu Xiaofeng bent down and got into the carriage, turned his head to look at Qingruo, who was hesitating outside, and raised his eyebrows, "Or, do you have a better idea?" β
Qingruo looked at the carriage of Mu Mansion, then at the carriage he hired, opened his mouth, and finally asked the two guards and his mother-in-law to go back to the mansion first according to Mu Xiaofeng's instructions, and then silently got into the carriage.
After packing up, the coachman shouted, "Let's go." β
Xia Xingshen saw that the carriage was already heading towards the city gate, so he had to stop with a smile, hide his eyes thoughtfully, and turn around and continue on his way.
When Mu Xiaofeng left the city, he urged the coachman to hurry up, "Uncle, please speed up, I have something urgent to hurry to the Moon Cliff." β
"Well, sit down, girl," the coachman hurriedly replied, threw down his whip, and shouted with a smile, "I keep this carriage running very fast, and I will never mistake the girl." β
The speed suddenly increased, and the carriage shook due to inertia, and Mu Xiaofeng was caught off guard and almost hit the wall of the car.
Seeing this, Qingruo was immediately furious, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to count the coachman, but Mu Xiaofeng shook his head to stop it.
Qingruo endured it, seeing that the young lady's face was not good, and she had to firmly grasp the pilaster to stabilize her body, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.
"I said, uncle, can you stop thinking about speed? Let's get the car safe! β
The coachman smiled innocently, "Hey, girl, please forgive me, I'm a big old man, and I forgot for a while that you are a delicate girl's family, and this speed is indeed a bit bumpy to run this car." β
The attitude of the people to admit their mistakes was sincere, and then the speed did not drop much, the car was a lot more stable, and Qingruo was embarrassed to find fault with others anymore.
After running at this speed for about a quarter of an hour, he reached a road near a forest, Mu Xiaofeng was worried about Zhao Ziyue's body, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, how long will it take for us to get to Banyue Cliff?" β
"It's ...... Hurry," the coachman's cheerful voice suddenly seemed to have fallen from the high-end into a pit, and it was vague and obliterated.
Mu Xiaofeng was surprised, and felt the carriage rattle violently, and then her body involuntarily leaned forward with the carriage.
The carriage suddenly stopped and leaned forward, Qing Ruo was shocked, and all kinds of bad associations before inexplicably floated in his mind, but he was still calm, and he only bit his lip and did not scream.
After he stabilized, he immediately asked in a loud voice, "Uncle, what happened?" β
Mu Xiaofeng tried to hold on to the pillar and stand firm, then slowly moved towards the window, "I guess the carriage is stuck in a pit." She sighed and reached out to support Qingruo, who was sliding down in a panic, "Don't scream, it's only right to go out and help quickly." β
Then I heard the coachman's voice come in, "Two girls be careful, let's try to get out of the window first, why is there a big hole in the road suddenly!" β
His tone was first surprised, then helpless, but there was nothing to complain about.
The wheels got stuck in the pit, and they had to find a way to get the car out of the pit first.
Mu Xiaofeng listened to him complaining, and his heart moved, and he also felt that this matter was indeed a bit of a coincidence.
Finally, with the help of the driver, she climbed out of the car in some embarrassment, but then she looked closely at the big pit under the car, and found nothing unusual.
It is a pure natural pit, it is estimated that the fallen leaves on it are a little thick, and the coachman will not notice it for a while and will fall into it in a hurry.
It was not an artificially dug pit, Mu Xiaofeng felt a little relieved, but when he saw that most of the carriage was trapped underneath, he was suddenly a little worried.
With such a deep pit, how could the three of them get the carriage up?
The coachman wrinkled his face, more worried than she was. Originally, he hoped that these two girls could help each other, but now, looking at the delicate appearance of these two girls, he still didn't expect it.
Qing Ruo looked at the carriage that was half-trapped in the pit, and was so anxious that even her impatient tone revealed a bit of unlucky despair, "Miss, what should I do now?" β
Before leaving the city, his carriage broke down; After leaving the city, someone else's carriage got stuck in a pit.
Why does she think that everything is not going well today, and it is not appropriate to go out at all!
Mu Xiaofeng frowned, ignoring her impatient complaints. Instead, he calmly observed the sinking of the carriage and looked around.
After looking at it, I realized that this area is a mountain forest.
If there were passers-by, maybe she would have managed to get the carriage up.
But if there was no one, with the ...... between her and Qingruo and the coachman, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, only to find that there were some things that she was really not good at being a weak woman.
What does it mean that a good woman is difficult to cook without rice?
That's where she is now.
Although she thought of a way, there was no manpower, and it was useless to have a way.
But even if it's useless, she has to give it a try before she is willing, she can't wait for an unknown passerby, right?
"I said Qiu Shao, you have good luck today!" Mu Xiaofeng was in a dilemma, and suddenly heard a voice coming from the forest.
Not to mention that her six senses have been extremely smart since she was reborn, even Qingruo and the coachman, who were wrinkled into bitter gourd faces at a loss, also heard the loud laughter in the forest at this time.
The coachman was overjoyed at once, watching Lin Ziteng rush over, dancing and shouting excitedly as he ran, "Someone is coming, someone is coming." β
Qing Ruo also smiled, looked at Mu Xiaofeng and said excitedly, "Miss, this unlucky carriage can finally be obtained." β
Mu Xiaofeng smiled noncommittally, not as excited and optimistic as Qing Ruo showed, because in addition to the loud voice just now, she also heard another person's voice.
The owner of that muffled voice, she wasn't sure if he would help them.
She glanced at Qing Ruo, who was still in a state of excitement, sighed silently, looked up at the forest, and saw that sure enough, several people led a horse from the forest one after another.
The one who is the leader is Qiu Tianshu, the eldest young master of the Changyi Marquis Mansion, who was entangled with her some time ago.
Mu Xiaofeng was not surprised to see this titular ex-fiancΓ©, after all, she had already heard his voice just now.
But Qingruo showed a shocked expression, and even raised his hand to point at Qiu Tianshu, who had sunk his face, and then looked at the purple-clothed girl beside him who was calm and calm.
opened his mouth wide and stammered, "Miss, he ...... him"
After a while, he suddenly hung his head and shouted in a low voice with a crying voice, "Why is he!" β
Mu Xiaofeng understood that Qing Ruo's huge gap at the moment was not a taste, she patted Qing Ruo on the shoulder, only shook her head, and did not speak.
At this time, Qiu Tianshu appeared here with a group of like-minded fox friends and dogs, seeing that she was in distress and waiting to be rescued, what would he do with an ex-fiancΓ©e who made him resentful and ashamed in the past?
Watching from the sidelines? Add insult to injury? Or do you just take his friends and dry her here to blow the wind?
Or a cheap tongue to sneer at her?
Although she knew that Qiu Tianshu was a high-ranking person who was a high-ranking and vain person, and he was camping in order to revitalize the Changyi Marquis Mansion, she didn't know much about this person's temperament.
This would suddenly meet in such a situation, and she really wasn't sure what he would do.
Looking at the surprised figure on the side of Lin Zi, Mu Xiaofeng's eyes showed a hint of interest, and she suddenly became interested and wanted to guess whether the man she didn't want to see in the past would lend a hand.
The coachman over there was guarding the edge of the forest, and at this moment he saw a few young men swaggering out, and he was so excited that he burst into tears, "Saviors, I can be regarded as looking forward to all saviors." β
Qiu Tianshu ignored the happy incoherent coachman, but looked up and looked at the slender figure in the purple skirt dancing in the wind in the faint glow of the road.
The young men who walked out of the forest with Qiu Tianshu saw that this situation was wrong, and someone immediately said, "Tianshu, what are you doing here in a daze?" β
One of them pushed Qiu Tianshu, and then pointed to the carriage that was half-stuck in the pit, "You don't want to go over and help, do you?" β
"Don't forget, we're still in a hurry to get back to the city, and besides, the prey in our hands has to be brought back to the pot before we are alive to taste."
When the coachman standing next to them heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is okay, help get this carriage out." If you leave, I'm afraid that no one will pass by. β
Qiu Tianshu didn't pay attention to the coachman, he only looked at Mu Xiaofeng silently, but the light in his eyes flickered.
The son, who had complained about going back quickly, saw that he was silent, so he turned his head to look at the other companions. saw that no one stood up to support him, but instead looked at Qiu Tianshu with an uncertain expression, revealing a posture that was obviously only Qiu Tianshu's head.
The man who complained alone and objected had no choice but to shut down, frowning and glaring at the driver, saying that he was dissatisfied and not willing to help.
Qiu Tianshu stood on the edge of the forest and watched, and Mu Xiaofeng also stood beside the carriage with a graceful demeanor and waited quietly.
Waiting, this group of fox friends who have the same smell as Qiu Tianshu will make a decision.
To help or not to help!
If Qiu Tianshu recognized her, and would stand still and wait for her to come over and whisper to him for help, then he could pack his bags and go home.
The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, and she Mu Xiaofeng is the same.
In the face of some people, you can compromise and let go of your identity and give in temporarily. But for some people, she would rather fall down and even bleed with her proud head on her back than lose the pride and dignity in her bones.
Even if she couldn't get this carriage, it was a big deal that she and Qingruo walked to the Moon Cliff.
"Childe, please do well, can you help?" Seeing that this group of young men were silent, and saw the attitude of the others led by Qiu Tianshu, the coachman hurriedly pleaded in an anxious and helpless whisper, "It's not early, those two girls are still in a hurry, if they can't get this carriage again, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave tonight." β
After saying that, he lowered his head nervously and frustratedly.
Of course, the corners of his eyes were still nervously watching Qiu Tianshu's movements for a moment.
Qiu Tianshu suddenly moved, he greeted the coachman with an expressionless face, and then strode towards Mu Xiaofeng, "We'll help you get the carriage out." β
The coachman was immediately moved by his words, and almost burst into tears, "Thank you, sons, you will be rewarded for your kindness." β
One of the people behind Qiu Tianshu glanced at the coachman contemptuously, "We don't expect a good reward, we just hope to return to the city without delay." β
As for the money payment?
The man raised his head and made a gesture that he thought was extremely handsome, and then tilted the corner of his eye to get off the driver, the master is not the vulgar thing who waits to see money.
The coachman ran after him, and he saw the man's disdainful eyes clearly, but he didn't care, and only smiled bitterly in his heart thinking that even if this group of people really asked him for payment, he would have to take it out.
"Trouble the two girls to stand farther away." As soon as Qiu Tianshu walked over, he glanced at Mu Xiaofeng with a blank face, and immediately put on a posture to help get the carriage.
Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and couldn't help but look at him seriously.
She had imagined several possibilities, but she never thought that Qiu Tianshu would put on a face that she didn't know her, and she was willing to come over to help in person!
This temperament is really a bit unexpected.
Qiu Tianshu didn't know what she was thinking, but when he saw her surprised look, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Thinking of this woman's unrelenting reluctance when she withdrew from her relatives that day, and then seeing that she is now helpless and alone, and can only wait for him to rescue her, there is a faint feeling of regaining self-esteem in my heart.
"Let's all work hard to get the carriage out." Qiu Tianshu retracted his gaze, endured the pleasure in his heart, and greeted his friends very seriously.
Mu Xiaofeng looked at his strength as he took the lead in rubbing his sleeves, and he was really embarrassed to say anything more.
Since he pretended not to know her, they should be strangers.
horizontally, their original relationship is not necessarily much closer than that of strangers.
"One, two, three, up!" With Qiu Tianshu's suffocated shout, with the concerted efforts of this group of young men with strength, it really didn't take much time to use wood to lift the carriage out of the big pit.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" In addition to thanking him with red eyes, the coachman really didn't know how to express his gratitude.
Qiu Tianshu nodded at the coachman with a cold face, "You don't have to be polite." β
Someone next to him immediately exaggerated and shouted to dismantle the stage, "It's a gesture of effort, but this hand is too tiring, you see, the skin of my palms is worn out." β
Seeing this, the coachman immediately nervously said, "This ...... Why don't I pay for some soup and medicine to this son? β
As he spoke, he trembled and reached out to take the silver out of his pocket.
Qiu Tianshu didn't speak, but looked at the purple-clothed girl not far away with a wooden face
