The sky was blue, as if even the air was filled with a faint sweetness peculiar to grass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There are not many pedestrians passing by on the wide official road, and even if a few people pass by, they all look hurried.

In the quiet carriage, only the sound of the horse's hooves and the "squeak" of the wheels of the carriage could be heard.

The girl leaned quietly in front of the window, gently lifted the curtain, and ran behind her intently as she watched the scenery outside the window......

The woman looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was born extremely beautiful. A palm-sized little face is moist and delicate, eyebrows are like distant mountains, lips are like dots, especially the big eyes that are full of water, like two pools of spring water, always with a thin sorrow that seems to be nothing...... makes people have a little desire to protect her for no reason.

"Look at what, look!" A young man lowered his voice and said to his companion, "How can you dream of an adult woman!" After speaking, he glared at the other party viciously.

The man next to him blushed.

"I ...... I didn't ......" The handsome face, slightly burned by the sun, became more and more burning—he tugged at the reins in his hand in embarrassment, and followed the horse team in front of him without squinting.

The man who spoke out of the admonition lowered his head and secretly glanced at the little hand that was as delicate and white as mutton fat jade...... As soon as the Adam's apple tightened, he silently clamped the horse's belly and followed.

Su Jinchen in the carriage was unaware.

The breeze swept the girl's beautiful face, and a few strands of mischievous hair danced.

They should be about to enter the Yangzhou territory...... She leaned back on the soft pillow and thought distractedly.

On the day of departure, he asked her where she wanted to stay.

She chose Hangzhou, the destination of his trip.

She said she wanted to see that legendary picturesque place, to see where her mother used to live.

What she didn't say was that by then, his injuries would be all healed, even without her to take care of him...... It shouldn't get in the way.

He nodded and said nothing.

It was the first time they had communicated since they set off - and the only time.

For many days after that, they barely spoke again.

He sat in front of his desk every day to read and write, while she nestled quietly in the corner.

If you have to say something sometimes...... It was only what he commanded, and she did it; She served, and he accepted.

Everything seemed to go back to the days when she first came to him.

But they knew very well to each other: they couldn't go back.

from her overhearing his conversation with Chen Yating; From her resolute self-denial, to continue to pay off her debts; He walked away from her room with a grim face...... There is no way for them to go back to the way they were.

The carriage was still waddling, and the spring wind was quietly pouring into the carriage along the curtain with a hint of coolness......

Suddenly, there was a low cough from someone.

She was startled and hurriedly lowered the curtain in her hand.

I don't know when, he actually fell asleep on the couch.

The man's face was not very good. There is also a faint layer of green black under the hanging eyelashes......

Su Jinchen thought about it, but still picked up a blue-black coat and lightly draped it on his body.

She wanted to cover him and immediately retreat to her corner, but she didn't want the carriage to be early or late, but at this time, it suddenly shook violently.

Su Jinchen stumbled, and the whole person leaned forward.

In front of her at this moment is Chen Yifei, who is still sleeping, and she pounces like this, and it is just enough to wake him up, but if she accidentally bumps into his arm...... Su Jinchen didn't think much about it, his body subconsciously went to the side, closed his eyes and ran straight towards him.

The expected pain did not come, but the next moment the whole person suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

Su Jinchen's body stiffened, and he raised his head to meet a pair of deep and bright eyes.

Her face suddenly turned red, "I...... I ......" cramped and remembered.

He only frowned, pressed his long finger to his lips, and made a silent motion.

Su Jinchen couldn't help but be stunned, and then he realized that there seemed to be something strange outside-

I don't know when the complicated sound of horses' hooves sounded in my ears, and for a while, there seemed to be a lot of people around!

"Haha, brothers, it seems that we have good luck today!" I heard only one person laugh wildly, "The people in the car have listened to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu only needs property!" But if there is anything valuable, leave it all to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu can spare your dog's life! ”

Brigand?!

They...... They actually ran into bandits?!

Su Jinchen was horrified, and his eyes immediately looked at Chen Yifei in a panic.

He pursed his lips and listened intently to every move outside.

Seeing his calm expression, Su Jinchen felt a little calmer, and then vaguely remembered that when he was at home before, he seemed to have heard him mention it-

Last year's floods in Jiangnan displaced tens of thousands of people and left them homeless. Although the imperial court allocated a large amount of disaster relief funds for post-disaster management, it was exploited by the government at all levels, withheld at all levels, and in the end there was very little that could be used on the people. There are even some officials who have lost their conscience, and they are not enough to fill their own pockets, and they even secretly collude with local merchants to take the opportunity to raise the price of rice, so that countless deaths and injuries have been killed and injured in various parts of the Yangtze River, starvation is everywhere, and even human tragedies of "changing children and eating" have occurred in many places. As a result, many people were cornered, and eventually formed groups and fell into the grass -- more than a dozen forces, large and small, were entangled.

She didn't know the purpose of his trip...... But I think it has nothing to do with this matter.

Su Jinchen was thinking wildly, but there was a neighing of a horse in his ears, "Bold robbers, dare to block the road and rob in broad daylight!" One of the guards shouted angrily, "Do you know who is sitting in the car now, and you will be arrested before you can quickly restrain your hands-"

"Who? Who else could it be?! Not only did the man not have the slightest fear, but he spat heavily on the ground, "Isn't it the dog official sent by the imperial court to collect money?!" Phew! Lao Tzu advises you, while our brothers are in a good mood now, you fucking hurry up and give us valuable things, maybe we can spare your life, if not-" The man's voice was stunned, even through a layer of car curtains, Su Jinchen seemed to be able to imagine the bloodthirsty and violent expression on his face, "Not only is your family bullshit, it's you, but you don't even want to fucking live!" ”

The guard was furious, "Someone, protect your lord!" ”

"Yes!" The other guards had already opened their formation, and only waited for him to give an order, and instantly protected the carriage in the middle.

"Damn, toast and don't eat and drink! Brothers, since this group of dogs don't know how to lift, we don't need to show mercy! Don't leave a single mouth later! ”
