Chapter 34 Peers
Yanyan was quite uncomfortable today, with a headache and fever, but he still supported himself better. Applause...... No, just a variety of tickets...... Text: At the beginning of the night, we entered a wood, I was drowsy in the carriage, and Rulan was busy making my bed, trying to make me sleep more comfortably. The carriage stopped suddenly, and Rulan asked the coachman about the situation, but she was answered by a deathly silence. A sense of foreboding welled up in my heart, and I gestured with my eyes to Rulan. Rulan nodded and took out a knife from her bag. Rulan doesn't know martial arts, but since the last time she was attacked, she pestered Ling Yun to find her a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay. Sharpening iron like mud may be an exaggeration, but it's very sharp anyway. I also learned three moves, and I heard that it was a move used with this knife, and at that time I remembered the "Three Moves of Beauty" in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which was jokingly called "Orchid Three Styles". Our previous success also made Rulan feel a little useless to learn, so now Rulan is faintly excited.
Rulan lifted the knife in his hand, lifted the curtain and came out, and then only heard a few "ho" knives outside, and then heard Rulan "Huh? Then I heard Rulan whisper: "Miss? This ...... "doesn't seem quite sure what to tell me." Then the curtain was lifted, and I bowed and jumped out of the carriage, which was a very strange scene: the driver was reclining in his position, Rulan and the ...... "Meng Xizhi" were standing on the side in white, and there were several black-clothed people standing next to them, who should be Meng Xizhi's subordinates.
I was also a little puzzled, the driver didn't look like he had been killed by anyone, and Meng Xi looked frightened, holding Rulan's knife in his right hand. Before I could speak, Meng Xizhi rushed up first and said, "Is the girl okay?" ”
I wondered, "Are you okay?" What can I do? ”
Meng Xizhi said: "After yesterday, I was going to Ancheng, so I kept asking the guy to look for the girl's traces." He smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued, "After talking to the girl, I have a feeling that the girl may also go to Anseong, so I want to be with the girl." It wasn't until the evening that the man found out that the girl had left the city, and had hired a carriage to go to Anseong, so I waited all the way to catch up. As a result, in front of a pillar of incense, he was just about to catch up, but he found that the driver seemed to have some hidden disease.
He clutched his chest all the time, but then he couldn't afford to fall, and the horse seemed to be frightened, and had no choice but to jump into the carriage, and just stopped the carriage with the combined efforts of several men. ”
I heard the words and looked at the driver of the car, seeing that he was not too old, only about fifty years old, indeed his right hand was on his chest, if it was really as Meng Xizhi said, then he should be a heart attack or something like a disease, I approached and touched his pulse, and wanted to use modern methods to save him, but unfortunately, there was no pulse, and he had been dead for a long time.
Meng Xi stepped forward and asked, "The girl knows medical skills?" ”
I shook my head: "No, it's just that I've encountered a similar situation before, there was a mountain doctor who taught a home remedies, I wanted to see if he could still be saved, but unfortunately ......" I turned to him and bowed: "That little woman also wants to thank Gongzi Meng for saving her life, my life and Rulan's lives were saved by Gongzi, if Gongzi needs anything in the future, just open your mouth." "I just remembered the danger just now, not far in front of this woods is a mountain road, even if someone is driving, you have to be very careful, and Rulan and I sat in a frightened horse-drawn car and didn't know it, thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat on my back.
When Meng Xizhi heard this, he smiled in surprise: "Really? There are really two things in the downfall. ”
My face froze, I didn't expect him to be ready to wait for me to say this, and now what if he asked me to do something I didn't want to do. I was about to say something like "not violating morality" to add, but he didn't give me a chance and said it directly: "First, please tell the girl Fang's name;
Second, how about we go together? Talking and laughing along the way also has a response. ”
I didn't expect him to make such two requests, so I smiled and said, "The little girl's name is Mu Qing, as for walking together, Mu Qing can't ask for it." "The surname "Ding", I don't dare to say it at this time.
He laughed and said, "Okay, Mu Qing, a very nice name, people are like their names, they are indeed like the sun." ”
I was a little embarrassed and smiled, "Now that the coachman is like this, how are we going to get there?" ”
He waved his hand: "What's so difficult about this? Ah Zhe, you come to drive for Miss Muqing. ”
"Yes!" One of the men in black behind him stepped forward and knelt down in reply. Seeing that this person was about twenty years old, his clothes were different from those of the others, and his whole body exuded a kind of coldness and majesty, which should be not a small head. But at this time, Meng Xizhi asked him to drive, but he did not have the slightest dissatisfaction or hesitation, and after answering, he went straight to the carriage and waited.
I looked at the coachman who had died in the driver's seat, and was about to ask Meng Xizhi to help the coachman bury him, but I heard him instruct: "Abu, Ayun, you two go and bury this coachman, and then send someone to see if you can notify your family." ”
Two more people came out of the queue, and I saw one of them, Ah Bu, who was carrying the coachman away in the teahouse that day.
After Meng Xizhi came over to take a look, he said to me: "It's getting late today, and it's a deserted place here, so we have to hurry, and when we arrive at the market tomorrow, we'll have a good rest, and I'll give Miss Mu a new carriage." ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Don't bother, I don't have this taboo." After that, he pulled Rulan and said "Youlao" to the black-clothed man named "Ah Zhe", and then got into the carriage together.
After waiting in the carriage for a while, I heard Meng Xizhi knock lightly on the window and say, "Miss Mu, we are leaving." ”
Almost in sync with my word "good", the carriage slowly began to move.
Rulan took a long time before she said, "Miss, why do I think this Meng Gongzi doesn't look like a businessman at all?" ”
I shook my head lightly and whispered, "It's true that he is not a businessman, he should be a powerful person, which of his buddies do you think looks like a real guy?" ”
Rulan was shocked: "Then why did the young lady go with him?" ”
I shook my head again and said, "Be quiet, this 'Ah Zhe' is not weak in martial arts, although there is a lot of noise in the carriage, but a little louder, he can still hear it." I didn't want to go with him, but I didn't think he had any ill intentions, and if he was really a bad guy, we wouldn't be able to stop any attempts. Now I can only take one step at a time, and I think it should be fine. ”
Actually, I don't know what to say. Although he doesn't look like a businessman, he shouldn't be a high-ranking official in Beijing, the last banquet, I have seen most of the officials above the fourth grade, and his accent is not like a person in the capital, so it may be the son of a certain scholar. The fact that I ran away should have been a trivial matter, and no one would have thought of my identity. But why did he go to Anseong with me? What I can't figure out the most is this matter, we met in Pingshui, even if he saw that I wanted to go to Anseong and want to go together, but I went before him, and he didn't need to catch up...... I can't figure it out, but now it's true that there is no other way than to trust his good intentions, as I said. My mind became foggy and I fell asleep.
