Chapter 218: The Wrong Way
Ye Xiaoyu stared at the two large bags of dry food in Qinglang's hand, and acid reflux began to occur in her stomach. I hope that in the next few days, I will be able to meet the inn smoothly, if I rely on eating this, before I reach Rongzhou, she Ye Xiaoyu will become an immortal.
Because Jiang Ping was unable to move, Lu Meijiao was angry with Qinglang, and only Lu Qian was the only one to bid farewell to Qinglang and Ye Xiaoyu. Ye Xiaoyu hoped that even Lu Qian would not come out, that kind of pity for other scenes, she was most afraid.
Outside the door of the inn, seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was about to get into the carriage, Lu Qian couldn't help but cry.
"Hey, Miss Lu, when did you become so sentimental, we will be back soon, if you want me to say, at your speed, when you return to Lujiazhuang, I will almost be home."
Ye Xiaoyu stepped forward, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears that kept flowing out for Lu Qian, and hugged her gently.
To go to an unknown place so far away, Ye Xiaoyu will not be less apprehensive than Lu Qian now, but there are some emotions, some people can express it, and some people can't. And she, Ye Xiaoyu, belongs to the people who can't come out.
"Also, in the days when I'm not there, you have to be careful, don't wait for me to come back, you and Liu Yu have a ...... child"
Ye Xiaoyu joked as she turned around and got into the car.
It was already evening, and it was getting dark in the blink of an eye, and the time could not be delayed any longer.
"You don't give me nonsense!!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll know when I get back......"
When the carriage went away, Ye Xiaoyu opened the curtain and stretched out her head to laugh at Lu Qian.
Because there is only Ye Xiaoyu. Qinglang drove much faster, and after a while, the inn and Lu Qian had disappeared.
I hope the three of them can get along in harmony in the coming days.
Without Jiang Ping and Lu Meijiao, things on the road would be much simpler. Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang took care of themselves, and the delay on the road became much less, and the way to solve the problem became simple and rude. Because of the urgency of time, sunny almost always rushed overnight, and usually rested overnight in inns or broken temples every few days.
In the beginning, it was all sunny driving. But it's like this day and night. The intensity was too great, and then Ye Xiaoyu couldn't stand it, so he proposed that the two of them take turns to catch the car, so that they could rest and save time. Sunny would have disagreed. But I can't be stubborn. I could only reluctantly nod in agreement.
So to the end. Although it was still sunny most of the time, Ye Xiaoyu also tried to catch up for half a day during the day. Practice makes perfect, and it didn't take a few days. Ye Xiaoyu's driving skills have also become proficient.
"Huh? The road ahead doesn't seem to be blocked by big rocks......"
After seven or eight days of travel, just when Ye Xiaoyu thought that he was about to see the city wall of Rongzhou, he saw that the road ahead was blocked by a large number of big stones.
These days, because of the road map given to them by Liu Shangzhong in advance, and the official roads, they are tired, but they are still very smooth. But he didn't expect that the pass of Rongzhou, which was about to be blocked, was blocked.
Qinglang had just walked into the carriage to rest, and when he heard Ye Xiaoyu's voice, he also looked in.
I saw a large pile of rocks piled up in front of me in the middle of the road, and the gaps left on both sides were a little crowded for a person to pass guò, let alone a carriage to pass guò.
The road is blocked, and it is definitely impossible to move forward. I had to stop to see if there was any other way to go. It stands to reason that this is an official way, and it is impossible for so many people who come and go to be intercepted like this. Ye Xiaoyu firmly believes that there is definitely another way to go.
But when he got closer, Ye Xiaoyu instantly felt a little desperate.
There are mountain walls on both sides of the road here, and there is only one road in the middle, and those stones are probably washed down by the mudslide on the mountain because of the rain.
If it is a pile of rubble, then you can also pull a carriage to climb up and go directly to it, but in the middle of the road, there are some large angular stones, piled up in a mess, like an irregular stone wall, people can't climb up, let alone a carriage.
Ye Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Qinglang, at this time he was also staring at the stone wall blocked in front of him and pondering, looking like that, it is estimated that he can't think of a way to get through for the time being.
These big stones, unless there is a crane like in the previous life, it is absolutely impossible to move them with the strength of her and Qinglang alone.
"I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, he quickly and flexibly walked through the gap in the stone.
"Be careful—"
Ye Xiaoyu stood in front of the gap and leaned forward to look forward. Because the carriage was still here, she couldn't follow Qinglang over, otherwise if she met some bandits, the things in the carriage would be robbed and the game would be over.
Thinking of the bandits, Ye Xiaoyu was suddenly a little scared, seeing that the sky was getting dark, and the road ahead was blocked again, there was no shop in front of the village here, in case of something else, did you really have to turn around and run back?
Qinglang moved quickly, and before Ye Xiaoyu could figure out how to deal with the bandits, he got out of the gap.
"How? Is that the road over there? ”
Ye Xiaoyu asked, reaching out and touching the somewhat impatient horse.
"It's the wrong way, it's not the official way."
The clear voice was still very faint, but Ye Xiaoyu still saw a rare uneasiness in his eyes.
"How is this possible? We all follow the roadmap given to us by Liu Shangzhong, how can it not be an official way? ”
Ye Xiaoyu said, then took out the road map given to them by Liu Shangzhong from his arms, pointed to the route above and continued,
"You see, this point was passed by the day before yesterday, right, there is an inn here. The next route is to go straight, this is the tower in the temple that we passed yesterday, and then, there is a small bend here, let's go around this woods, and go down the main road, this is the post station we saw at noon today, and then go left next to the post station-"
Pointing to this, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't say any more. Because she saw that next to the post station, there were two roads drawn, one of which was marked with an emphasis on the narrower one, which could not be clearer, this inconspicuous road was the correct official road to Rongzhou.
But after replenishing water at the post station at noon, Ye Xiaoyu didn't notice the symbols on the drawings, and drove the carriage to the wider road with his own intuition.
Qing Lang also realized the mistake, and without saying much, he jumped directly into the carriage and quickly turned the carriage around, wanting to rush back to the post station before dark.
Ye Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay, and she didn't sit in the carriage, but sat directly in front of the carriage, on the other side of the sunny side, her heart was anxious and guilty now. I hope I can get back to the station before dark.
"What's on the other side of the stone wall?"
Although he already knew that he had made a mistake, Ye Xiaoyu was still a little curious.
But if she knew what Qing Lang was about to answer, Ye Xiaoyu swore that she would never ask the question just now.
"Mass graves."
Sunny replied.
But what Ye Xiaoyu didn't know was that something more terrible than the "mass grave" was about to come.
Before the clear voice had completely died down, a large pile of stones rolled down from the mountain walls on both sides, like huge hailstones falling from the sky, and even if the clear driving skills were good, the roof of the carriage was still smashed into several holes. Fortunately, Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang were not injured.
Just when Ye Xiaoyu was glad that he was not injured, suddenly a big stone fell from the sky and hit the front seat of the carriage, but fortunately, due to the bump, Ye Xiaoyu leaned to the left, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed.
"What's going on? Did we meet the bandits?!! ”
The horses were frightened out of control, the carriage swayed from side to side, and the horses had to avoid the stones that had tumbled down from the mountain. Ye Xiaoyu desperately clutched the reins on one side, so that he could barely let himself stay in the carriage and did not fly out.
The weather was good, neither windy nor rainy, and suddenly so many stones rolled down, except for meeting the bandits, Ye Xiaoyu really couldn't think of any other reason, if it wasn't the bandits, could it be that he had offended the mountain god?
But before he could answer clearly, Ye Xiaoyu's thoughts were confirmed.
After a burst of rocks rolled down, from the narrow sheep intestine path on the mountain, seven or eight people rushed down, the sky was a little gray, and after these people got closer, Ye Xiaoyu found that these people were not only covering their faces, but also everyone was holding a guy in their hands, if these were not bandits, then the mountain gods in this place were too strong, right?
Those masked men were getting closer and closer, Ye Xiaoyu had never seen such a battle, except for stabilizing her body to prevent herself from falling off the broken carriage, she couldn't think of what to do at this time in her head.
The road was wide, and it was no problem for two carriages to pass side by side, but if these seven or eight people were standing side by side, it was just enough to enclose the road. And how could these people with guys stand there motionless, two against eight, no matter how high the martial arts are, the probability of winning is not great.
Looking at the approaching big man in a panic, Ye Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Qinglang, hoping to get some effective information from him. But when he turned his head, he saw that Qing Lang was bent over, squatting facing forward, and his two hands were still groping for the link between the horse and the carriage, which at first glance looked a bit like tying his shoes. He went about himself, as if he were completely unaware of the danger that was coming.
"Hey, Sunny!! We must have met a bandit, there are so many of them, do we have the certainty of breaking out of the encirclement? ”
Although the sunny appearance made Ye Xiaoyu want to vomit, at this critical juncture, survival is more important than complaining, and it is better to solve the problem in front of him first.
"Nope."
A clear and faint voice came from the side, but this voice sounded in Ye Xiaoyu's ears, as if he had been sentenced to death.
No?
Are you still so calm without you?
How old are you now, do you want to be so death-oriented? (To be continued......)
