Chapter 106: Wolves at Night
"Big brother, this potato is already ready to eat." Brother Bao broadcast the potatoes in the fire with branches, carefully pinched them with his hands, and after feeling that the inside was already soft, he patted the ashes on the outside of the potatoes clean and handed them to Mu Yunqiao.
"Come, give this to Yaya, we'll wait a little longer." Mu Yunqiao didn't eat the potatoes that Brother Bao handed her, but said to Yaya. They had been walking in the mountains for several days, and the food they had brought with them had already been eaten. If it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a field of wild potatoes here, the few of them would have gone hungry. It's just that the potatoes are ripening too slowly, and she and her three children can't help but eat raw potatoes. Especially the youngest girl, when she saw the potatoes in Brother Bao's hand, her eyes were glowing green, in such a situation, how could she bear to eat the potatoes in her hand.
"Big brother eats." Swallowing the saliva that was about to come out of the corner of her mouth, Yaya shook her head vigorously and said. The other potatoes are almost ripe too, and she can wait. The eldest brother is as hungry as they are, so let the eldest brother eat first!
"It's okay, let's eat! Big brother to see if the other potatoes are cooked. Mu Yunqiao put the steaming potatoes in Yaya's hand, picked up a branch, broadcast the other potatoes, and pinched the smallest potato like Brother Bao, feeling that it was almost soft like the potato that Brother Bao handed her just now, and handed the potato to Tiantian. Because she found that she had been staring at the potatoes in Yaya's hand every day and drooling.
Looking at Mu Yunqiao's movements, Brother Bao also began to check the potatoes. If you find something that can be eaten, put it aside, and if you can't eat it, throw it directly into the fire and continue to roast. It wasn't until he had picked out all the ripe potatoes that he picked one up and ate it. He was hungry after not eating for a day.
After everyone finished eating the potatoes, Mu Yunqiao added a little firewood to the fire and burned the fire vigorously. Jump directly onto a tree so she can see a little farther. As for the three well-fed children, they were already asleep in the carriage.
This is the wilderness, she doesn't feel at ease and just sleeps like this, who knows if there are any beasts or anything here. Although her martial arts skills are not high, she can still deal with some small animals. Horse-drawn carriages can be walked here, naturally it will not be too desolate place, and it is unlikely that there are large beasts. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to walk around at will.
It's just that tonight she doesn't know what Lu Dao is for, and there is always a bad premonition in her heart. She didn't dare to sleep at will.
Mu Yunqiao took out the dagger that she had been carrying, this was the best weapon on her body besides the fan, and it was also the most convenient weapon he used. Carefully stroke the sharpest side of the dagger with his hand. This dagger has been with her for a long time. She had never done anything with it, and it was only when she was helping Ming Tao that she realized that this dagger was so sharp. No wonder Ming Tao was so precious at that time.
Yes, she had long known that this was Ming Tao's dagger. When she was a child, she got angry every time she saw Ming Tao collecting this dagger like a baby. So she stole the dagger while Ming Tao didn't care. It's just that to her surprise, Ming Tao didn't look for this dagger. It was because Ming Tao didn't care about it later that she kept using it as a fruit knife. If it weren't for Ming Tao's accident this time, she would definitely not have taken it out in front of Ming Tao. It's just that she never thought that Ming Tao would recognize this dagger as his at a glance. It's just that he didn't say it explicitly.
What did he not know at the time? And why did he not pursue her true identity? She thought that this time she was going to have a complete showdown with him! But how did she feel that Ming Tao didn't associate her with Mu Yunqiao. He didn't guess, so she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to say it.
Now that she has left Ming Tao's side, she doesn't know if they will meet again. She thought that even if they met, he would definitely position her directly on Mu Yunqiao, and she would not think that she was not only Mu Yunqiao, but also Xiao Qiao.
"Papapa......" Although the sound was not loud, in such a quiet night, Mu Yunqiao still heard some unusual sounds, and she sat up directly and looked in the direction where the sound came from. I don't know if I don't know the road, and I was shocked when I saw it. I saw that three wolves appeared thirty meters away from the carriage. She knew that this must not be the whole story, so many wolves, but she could not deal with it alone. Thinking of the sleeping child in the carriage, Mu Yunqiao jumped directly off the branch. After jumping into the carriage and waking up the children, the money bags were carried on them, and the three children who were still in a daze were directly helped to the horse, and they rode a horse out of here.
Three children are not heavy, and even a full-grown horse pulling a cart can run faster than a pack of wolves. It's just that what she didn't expect was that there was a wolf guarding just in front of them.
Mu Yunqiao unceremoniously stabbed the wolf with the dagger he had been holding in his hand. Her kung fu was not very good, and she was on a horse, so her dagger did not kill the wolf, but only wounded it and could no longer pursue them.
It's just that for a while, the three wolves behind have already chased after them. Mu Yunqiao looked at the three children who had already run away, and directly urged the horse to chase after them.
The three children were not very good at riding horses, and Brother Bao sat in front and tried his best to control his body to prevent himself from falling off the horse, even so, they were still alive when they sat on the horse. However, thinking of Mu Yunqiao behind them, he still rode the horse to the fastest. He can't help his eldest brother kill wolves, but he must protect themselves.
"Second brother, how long do we have to run?" It wasn't until a long time later that Yaya asked. Yaya sat behind and asked uneasily. Afraid that she would be in danger, Mu Yunqiao deliberately put her in the middle. Therefore, she couldn't see the road in front of her, and she couldn't look back at Mu Yunqiao's situation in the back, so she could only keep her mouth shut. It's just that she hasn't seen her eldest brother chasing after her, and she is very scared.
"I don't know how to do it, every day you look at the situation behind it? Are there still wolves? While controlling the horse, Brother Bao shouted to Tiantian.
"Oh!" I looked back obediently every day, only to see that there was nothing in the dark behind me. There are no wolves, and there is no big brother. He said to Brother Bao: "There is no wolf in the back, but there is no big brother either."
"Phew!" Hearing Tiantian's words, Brother Bao stopped the horse. Look back at the back. Sure enough, Mu Yunqiao's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Second brother, should we go back and see the eldest brother?" Tian Tian asked.
"No, no." Brother Bao shook his head and said. They can't help the eldest brother when they go back, and they will become a problem for the eldest brother. They can only wait here. Although he is also worried about the safety of his eldest brother, he doesn't want to put Tiantian and Yaya in danger because of his impulsiveness. I believe that the eldest brother must not want him to do that.
Brother Bao didn't let everyone get off the horse, but kept sitting. Because when they go down, they can't come up at all. In order to have any contingencies, they can react as quickly as possible. No matter how tired or sleepy they are, they have to persevere.
Mu Yunqiao was very sad to find that although she ran away from the pursuit of the wolves, she couldn't find her three children. In this strange wilderness, she walked alone. I was terrified. But she didn't know where to go to find the children.
She didn't dare to dismount, but just let the horses keep walking along the official road, hoping to be lucky enough to meet the children. However, to her disappointment, she walked all night without meeting three children. But what excites her is that she actually sees a town in the distance after dawn. It's just that what made her even more depressed was that when she left, she was in too much of a hurry, so she actually put all the money bags on the three children. She doesn't have a penny now.
Mu Yunqiao jumped off the horse in frustration and jumped directly onto a big tree on the side of the road to rest. She didn't sleep all night, and she was so tired after a night of riding a horse. She tied her horse to a wooded field of weeds, and went back to the tree herself to sleep.
She slept for a long time, and if it weren't for the discomfort in the trees and the fact that she was so hungry, she might have slept until dawn the next day.
Touching his rumbling stomach, Mu Yunqiao thought about how to get money to buy something to eat. You can't look at the town and ask her to eat the wild fruits outside! Just thinking that she was now penniless, she sat on the ground again. If she wants to be cheeky and eat white food, she really does such a thing.
Mu Yunqiao touched her body up and down, hoping to find something that could be exchanged for money, but in addition to the dagger in her hand, only the fan was still valuable. It's just that she can't bear either of these things. Walking to the horses that had already eaten and drunk, Mu Yunqiao touched the horse's head and was very reluctant in his heart. However, although this horse is not a bright horse, it is worth at least a hundred taels of silver. With this money, she can not only buy another ox cart, but also live for a while. That's when she told herself again that it was time for her to find a way to make money. She can't always pawn things to get by!
"Horse, horse, don't blame me for being ruthless, I'm just trying to find you a new master." Standing in front of the horses, Mu Yunqiao sighed. This horse had saved her life not long ago, and she was about to sell it in the blink of an eye, and she felt that she was okay, if only Ming Tao was here at this time. It's just that thinking that she can't help Mingtao by her side, but will also become a burden to Mingtao, her mood is a little lower.
Ma Er didn't pay attention to Mu Yunqiao's low forehead at all, just stood there and kept grazing.
"Hey! If only I could be as carefree as you are, I wouldn't have so many worries! Mu Yunqiao sighed again. Sometimes she hates her old memories. If she didn't have those memories, she would be like other women, an ancient person without any thoughts. But she didn't just have those memories. There are still a lot of modern ideas in her bones. Such a woman would only make her more troubled in ancient times. Because she thinks she is just an ordinary person, she doesn't have so much ambition to change this world, and she can't integrate into this world. She will only suffer from it.
Looking at the town in the distance, Mu Yunqiao did not ride directly into the city, she had been sitting there watching the horses graze. She wanted to wait for it to finish before going into town.
