The spring rain is like a curtain, filling the sky on the mountains and forests obliquely, and the smoke is like drifting with the wind. The rain trickled down the branches and soaked into the trunks of the trees, seeping into the ground covered with dead branches and leaves, and the wheels ran over them, but they left no trace.

"The rain has been too abundant this season." On a muddy road covered by the woods, men in black suits pulled the wagon out of the mud puddle for the first time.

"The changes of the seasons are beautiful, haven't you adapted to living in the north all the time?" A white woman's arm stretched out from the window of the carriage, and her fingertips were slightly raised, and a drop of water bloomed, "Driving skills can be honed slowly, just be more patient." There was a clear smile in the woman's voice.

"......'Pei Ai', you should be better at it than me, I'm afraid this carriage won't last long." The man sat back in the car wet, and the broken hair on his forehead was already sticking into patches.

"You felt like you wanted to sit in the front when you set out, and do you want to see the embarrassment of letting a lady endure the wind and rain all the way and get soaked?"

"Don't think wrong, I just owe you a favor to walk with you temporarily, if you want to drive me as a servant, you must have enough strength to avoid danger."

Mori's white teeth showed as he spoke, and the man looked back at the woman in the carriage through the square opening.

"Of course we are equal," the woman reined in her girlish mentality and closed her eyes helplessly, "Isn't it enough that you are in charge of driving the carriage while I use my perception to guide us around any troubles we may encounter and make sure we are on the right path?" ”

"Imagine what you could do if you were in a carriage, Ricarudo?"

Outside the carriage, he only snorted and did not speak again, and the carriage slowly set off.

Octavia's voice softened, "There's a cave ahead where we can rest, and we'll stop there to avoid the rain and dry your clothes." I've been on the road in the rain before, and I know how uncomfortable it feels, so let's hold on a little longer. ”

Ricarudo didn't reply, but his calmed face and the corners of his mouth soothed the mood again. Octavia looked at him and smiled slightly.

This man still has the courage to continue to "entangle" with Isley, but because he owes a life-saving grace, he follows him to Rapoll, but this temper still needs to be run-in.

The carriage staggered forward, the opening at the front of the carriage occupied by Ricarudo's back, almost the only view.

The mountain road is bumpy, and it is even more stormy, so the temperature drops sharply as if it is back to the cold winter season. Octavia and Ricarudo don't feel cold, but ordinary people can't.

"There's someone in the cave you're talking about." Ricarudo looked at the little fire in the distance, and the three wagons tied to the cave, his face displeased.

"No, it's big enough, and someone just got it cleaned up for us."

"If there's anyone who can't open his eyes, I'll kill him."

After narrowly escaping the battle with Livlu, Ricarudo knew that Isli was sure that they would not be able to help but do it, so he arranged it like this, and the man wanted them to drag Liv Road with their lives.

Although it was a betrayal, it was actually their own decision to go to war, so after the incident gradually calmed down, Ricarudo realized that he didn't actually hate Isli too much. And this made him a little confused......

Click!

The sound of wood breaking suddenly sounded, the horses screamed, and the whole body fell to the side.

"The wheels are broken, let's walk over there." Ricarudo walked out into the rain indifferently, watching the old wagon, which had been bumping all the way, finally come to an end.

"Hey, okay." The door of the carriage was pushed open, revealing Octavia's helpless face.

In the wind and rain, it was suddenly mixed with the shouts of strange men.

"Hey! Friends passing by! Don't you have an umbrella? Suddenly, half of his body appeared on the other side of the cave, and a middle-aged bald man squinted his eyes and shouted, his voice was hoarse. The sound of the horses reached the cave.

"Come in and take shelter from the rain! Rest assured, we are businessmen and reliable! The bald man didn't hear the response, thinking that the other party was wary.

"Then please!" In the sound of the wind, Octavia's joyful voice pierced through.

Ricarudo looked at Octavia suspiciously, the rain running down his hair and down his solid shoulders. She smiled and gestured to relax.

The bald man beckoned his three companions out of the cave with an umbrella, his strong physique and steady steps revealed in the rain, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed to Ricarudo's side.

Presumably fearing that the two would not accept it, the umbrella was slipped into his and Octavia's hands, and then one of the four big men untied the rope and took the horse away, and the three pushed the carriage to the side of the road and made way of the way.

Inside the cave, the fire was blazing, and next to it was a pile of boxed goods that seemed to be incapable of water.

As soon as the soaking wet men entered the cave, they eagerly pulled off their clothes and pants, twisted the water, and prepared to dry them by the fire.

"I'm sorry," the bald man said, turning to Ricarudo and Octavia, who came in with an umbrella, "We're used to being rude, if you don't mind, you can take off your wet clothes and bake it." All that was left of the men was the white cloth that served as underwear.

The smell in the cave was not good, especially the smell of sweat on the men, but neither Octavia nor Ricarudo did not mind.

Exchanging glances, Ricarudo unbuttoned his shirt.

"Thank you." He did not flinch, revealing his white-skinned, muscular body in the firelight.

"I take the liberty of asking, are you the noble young master and young lady in distress?" The bald man seems to be the leader of these men.

"Sort of." Octavia sat "reservedly" next to Ricarudo, "We were going to Rapolle, but unfortunately the carriage broke down halfway through. ”

"Ah, what a coincidence! We also ship things to Rapolle. The other man was pleasantly surprised, staring at the skin peeking out from between Octavia's collar.

"Then we can pay for it and give us a ride?" Octavia's gaze swept over the group of men, and she pulled out her heavy purse, revealing the golden golden Bella inside.

"This ......" the men suddenly poured cold water on them.

"This young lady, may I ask who you are?" The bald man doesn't believe that normal people will carry so much money with him when he travels, and this year is not peaceful.

"My relative in Rapoll is called Conrad, and he invited us over." Octavia said simply.

"Uh......" The men exchanged glances left and right.

"Don't worry, miss, we'll get you to Rapoll safely." The bald man was more careful in his words.

"Thank you, you're such nice people."

Octavia turned his head to look at Ricarudo, who had been silent and unconcerned, "Have a good rest tonight, there are already people waiting for us in Rapolle, three of them, it seems to be very powerful." ”

"That's just the right time to ask about Annabelle." Ricarudo replied casually that he wasn't really curious, just giving himself a reason to do for the time being.
