Chapter 162: I saw a dark shadow

As soon as Zhao Guanlan left, Lu Xiaoyao began to prepare to make tea, and the tea prepared by Wang Si was Longjing, and after a while, the carriage was rippling with a strong fragrance of tea.

After the tea was boiled, Lu Xiaoyao lifted the corner of the curtain and looked outside, wanting to see if Zhao Guanlan was nearby.

The carriage was full of grain carts parked outside, and after lifting the curtain, except for the cold air that drifted in, there was no one who saw Zhao Guanlan, just when Lu Xiaoyao was about to put down the curtain, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a window on the second floor, and a black shadow flashed.

Lu Xiaoyao immediately frowned, his hand stopped and did not move, and his eyes fixed on the room on the second floor.

If she was not mistaken, the direction that the dark shadow was looking at was her carriage.

Lu Xiaoyao frowned, who was that black shadow just now?

Lu Xiaoyao recalled that when she asked for a room before, there were only her room and Lu Lin's room on the second floor, and the room where the black shadow lived just now was already occupied before, who was it? Is it for her, or for Zhao Guanlan, or for their food?

Lu Xiaoyao put down the curtain and sat back on the soft couch, with a puzzled face, and at the same time began to be on guard in his heart.

Lu Xiaoyao has always stayed in the carriage in a proper manner, Zhao Guanlan and Wang Si followed the grain cart to patrol again, and roasted the fire on the side of the fire for a while before returning to the carriage.

Lu Xiaoyao has been a little nervous in his heart since he saw the black shadow, and when he heard the sound from outside the carriage, he was so nervous that his heart lifted.

The tea on the stove was still grumbling, and Lu Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and put on the teapot, always on guard.

"Daughter-in-law?"

There was no sound in the carriage, and Zhao Guanlan remembered the attack he encountered when he went home last time, so he called out when he lifted the curtain.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Xiaoyao's nervous heart gradually relaxed, let go of the teapot, and sat back on the soft couch.

Zhao Guanlan opened the curtain and came in, and a cold air also drifted into the carriage with him, Lu Xiaoyao wrapped the blanket on his body tightly, and smiled at Zhao Guanlan.

"Is it cold? Come over and have a hot cup of tea. ”

Lu Xiaoyao got up and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Guanlan, and while Zhao Guanlan was drinking tea, Lu Xiaoyao lifted the curtain and looked outside, especially the room on the second floor.

Zhao Guanlan drank a cup of hot tea and felt that his body was warmer, before turning his head to look at Lu Xiaoyao.

Lu Xiaoyao's appearance made Zhao Guanlan puzzled, and asked directly, "Daughter-in-law, what are you looking at?" Zhao Guanlan also put his head on Lu Xiaoyao's side, Lu Xiaoyao hurriedly lowered the curtain and pulled Zhao Guanlan back to sit on the soft couch.

"Xianggong..."Lu Xiaoyao told Zhao Guanlan what he saw, after the words fell, Zhao Guanlan frowned, seeing Lu Xiaoyao's serious face, he also knew that she was not talking nonsense.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll go out and let the fourth brother patrol strictly, you wait for me for a while, and I'll come back to accompany you immediately."

Zhao Guanlan's words fell, and he got out of the carriage, this time the amount of grain was too large, and he couldn't take it lightly.

Lu Xiaoyao didn't stop Zhao Guanlan from going out, as soon as he left, she pulled the stove closer to her, warm at the same time, she was able to guard against it.

Not long after Zhao Guanlan went out, he returned to the carriage, and the sound of Wang Si and others talking sounded outside, and Lu Xiaoyao knew that Zhao Guanlan had arranged it.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao's worried face, Zhao Guanlan smiled at her, and sat down next to her before speaking, "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, the outside has been arranged, and everyone is sober." ”

Hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, Lu Xiaoyao's heart also relaxed a lot, although it was not good to wake everyone up, but it was good to act safely.

The guys transporting grain woke up a lot, and with Zhao Guanlan's orders, everyone didn't sleep anymore, some got up to patrol, some got up to drink to warm up, and some chatted together.

The men in the rivers and lakes spoke relatively loudly, and after a while, the outside of the post house became lively, listening to everyone talking and laughing, Lu Xiaoyao's heart was much less afraid.

Zhao Guanlan accompanied Lu Xiaoyao in the carriage until the sky gradually brightened up and daylight, and Zhao Guanlan got out of the carriage.

The guys who were resting in the post house had also gotten up, and Zhao Guanlan ordered the night watchmen to rest before returning to the carriage.

The men who kept vigil had to rest for at least two more hours before they could have the spirit to continue to set off, so Zhao Guanlan was not in a hurry to leave here.

Lu Lin came to the carriage directly, because Zhao Guanlan postponed the time to leave, Lu Lin directly asked the reason, and learned that Lu Xiaoyao saw a black shadow, and Lu Lin's eyes fell on Lu Xiaoyao.

Lu Lin's eyes did not have the contempt that he had when he looked at the vase before, but it was another, like suspicion, Lu Xiaoyao met Lu Lin's gaze, and he was immediately unhappy, and he couldn't restrain himself from blowing up his hair directly.

"Lu Lin, what do you mean? Don't believe me? Lu Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's questioning, Lu Lin withdrew his gaze from Lu Xiaoyao, looked at Zhao Guanlan and said slowly, "Zhao Guanlan, do you know what it means to be delayed for two hours?" ”

Lu Lin asked, the expression on his face was extremely serious, Zhao Guanlan lowered his eyes, "Everyone hasn't rested well, and if you set off like this, it's not safe." ”

Zhao Guanlan's words fell, and Lu Lin's voice suddenly rose, "I didn't rest well!" Just because of your daughter-in-law's words, everyone got up to keep vigil and didn't rest well, who is to blame? ”

Lu Lin's words made Zhao Guanlan's expression sink instantly, and Lu Xiaoyao's face became ugly, and just as he was about to speak, he was preempted by Zhao Guanlan.

"Lu Lin, although we will be trapped in the Grand Canyon if we are delayed for two hours, I believe in my daughter-in-law, everything is good to act safely, we are not in a hurry to cross the Grand Canyon today, and we will go to the border a day late, and we will not be delayed much."

Zhao Guanlan said so, Lu Lin was no longer comfortable in his heart, and he didn't continue, turned his head and looked at Lu Xiaoyao viciously, and went out of the carriage directly.

As soon as Lu Lin left, there was a lot less oppressive breath in the carriage, and Lu Xiaoyao snorted coldly at Lu Lin's back before he said to Zhao Guanlan.

"Xianggong, let's rest well before we go! Hurry up on the way and see if we can cross the Grand Canyon before dark, as long as we cross the Grand Canyon, not far from the border, we can rest for the night, right? ”

Zhao Guanlan nodded, as long as he crossed the Grand Canyon before dark, he would be safe.

"Daughter-in-law, don't think too much, Lu Lin has always been responsible for doing things, I'll talk to him in a while."

Hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, Lu Xiaoyao nodded, he didn't care too much about Lu Lin's attitude just now, he was also thinking about everyone and food safety.

The sky was bright, and snowflakes were floating in the sky again, Zhao Guanlan went out to talk to Lu Lin for a while, and then went back to the carriage to take Lu Xiaoyao to prepare to enter the post house for breakfast.
