Chapter 145: Tailgating all the way
The butler sent the house away. I went back to my room www.biquge.info and said to Yueying, "Pack up your things, we'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”
Yueying sat by the charcoal basin, holding a jacket in her hand and baking it against the charcoal fire, and raised her head when she heard this, looking a little surprised. After a while, he whispered back, "Okay." ”
I sat down on the edge of the collapse and took off my shoes, still thinking about what Fang Cai Jia Ding said. Jia Ding said that the person who came to inquire looked like a servant, and it should not be Bojiang's group. But if it weren't for them, who would have asked about me and Master?
Could it be Zhao Yuan? After thinking about it for a while, I categorically rejected this answer. We have already said it quite thoroughly in Linghu before, and he will not be entangled anymore. People like Zhao Yuan, once they open their mouths, will not easily go back on their word and do such a thing as coming to inquire.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a reasonable answer. But I always felt that it would be more dangerous for Master to stay in Qiantang for one more day, and I had to persuade Master to go to Yanjing as soon as possible in the evening. It's not good for me to stay at home for a long time, so I'd better go back early.
I didn't rush to change my shoes after taking off my shoes, I fell straight on the couch, and looked at the bed tent above me with wide eyes.
At dinner in the evening, I told me at the dinner table that I would go back to Haining tomorrow. The biggest reaction was the third brother, who tried to keep me for a while longer.
I laughed in my heart, I saw this kid like this when I left home in the past, and now I try every means to discourage it, but it's just because I think that Liangyuan doesn't have a female companion of the same age at home.
It's really time to go back to Haining tomorrow. Seeing that I didn't let go for a long time, the third brother had no choice but to give up. After dinner, I went to Master's place again and told him to go to Yanjing early and pay attention to safety on the way.
The night I left home, I had insomnia again, and I stayed up until midnight, perhaps because my brain was so tired, that I fell asleep unconsciously. In recent months, I have suffered from insomnia. It seems that in the dead of night, people are particularly awake. When you close your eyes, you can't sleep.
When I woke up this time, it was still the same point as usual. I got up from my bed and got dressed, and Tsukiying stood at the screen and told me that it was snowing outside.
It's snowing again. I muttered to myself.
Yueying asked in a low voice: "Zhu Niang, will you go back to Haining today?" ”
I paused for a moment and replied briefly, "Return." ”
Yueying didn't mention it anymore, turned around and went out to get me hot water.
At the dinner table, they said that I should stay for another day, it was snowing, and the road was not easy to walk.
But I felt as if I had made a great determination, as if returning to Haining today was a thing that could not be escaped.
After breakfast, Yueying and I got into the carriage. Ah Niang stood on the steps and beckoned the coachman to walk slowly on the road. The third brother had already asked someone to tie straw ropes to the wheels of the carriage, and asked me to bring a few to spare on the road.
The snow didn't fall much, but it didn't stop. After walking for a while, I saw that the road was covered with a layer of snow that was not thick or thin. Due to the snow, there are not many pedestrians on the road. Passing by a small tea shop, we stopped for a moment and went to the tea shop for a bowl of hot tea before heading out on the road.
Not long after walking, the coachman suddenly said to me, "Young lady, there seems to be a carriage following us behind, following all the way." ”
I was shocked and asked, "When did you notice that?" ”
"At first, I didn't notice it, I thought it was the same way. But they were driving at about the same speed as us, and when we stopped, they stopped, which was weird. The driver said.
"Are they dressed the same as the people you've seen there in Guishan?" I asked again.
"They deliberately kept some distance, and I couldn't see it clearly." The coachman replied.
I didn't speak, but I thought of the family in the house before saying that someone came to inquire about me and Master. Could it be that the person who followed was the one who came to the door to get the news of me and Master?
But why is this so followed? The carriage passed through many secluded places along the way, and if they had tried to misbehave, there was an opportunity, but after walking for so long and not seeing any movement from them, I would not have noticed any of them if the coachman had not told me.
I didn't know what to think about for a while. What I experienced in the Holy Lotus Hall before made me feel uneasy. Whatever their purpose was, the fact that they followed us quietly all the way made it difficult for me to settle down.
After a while, I said to the coachman, "Are they just a carriage?" Is there anyone else with you? ”
"Just a carriage." The coachman replied.
"Go to the next town, find a restaurant to rest, and stop for a while." I commanded.
"Okay." The coachman answered.
Ever since the driver told me about it, I have been lifting the curtain from time to time to see if there is any movement behind me. The fine snow fluttered on my cheeks with the wind, gently, itchyly. The mountains on both sides of the road seem to be paved with a layer of cotton wool, from the brown earth to the sky.
Arrived at the next town. The coachman parked the carriage outside a small restaurant. I asked Yueying and the coachman to stand at the door of the restaurant on purpose, and I went up to the second floor, and when I went up, I told the coachman that if he saw the carriage appear, he would take off the hat on his head, and I would know.
After the order, I went to the second floor to find a private room facing the street and waited. The window of the private room was open on the side of the street, and I folded a wooden chopstick in half, and used half of the wooden chopsticks to prop up a gap in the window, just enough to see the coachman downstairs and most of the street.
The bartender scalded a pot of Magu wine, I poured a glass in my hand, and then walked to the window and waited quietly.
The town is not big, not to mention the fact that it is still snowing, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and there are only a handful of horse-drawn carriages coming and going.
After waiting for a while, I saw the coachman take off the torn felt hat from his head.
I hurriedly cast my eyes on the street, and in the distance, I saw a carriage moving slowly. At first glance, the horses used in the carriage suddenly seemed familiar.
There was a man sitting in front of the carriage, and I couldn't see him too far away.
While I was watching intently, I wondered in my heart that since they were intentionally following us, they naturally wouldn't get too close to me, and they should settle somewhere else.
But unexpectedly, the carriage came straight to us.
I was amazed and thought to myself, maybe they were really just on the same road, and not intentionally following us? Maybe I'm thinking too much, so the grass and trees are soldiers.
The carriage was nearer again, and I noticed that the man sitting in front of it was very familiar. I stared at him in disbelief. Downstairs, there was a sudden exclamation from Yueying, "Oh my God! It turned out to be ......" and then shouted at me upstairs: "Zhu Niang, it's Liang...... Liang Gongzi, ......" (To be continued.) )
