Chapter 161: The Man Behind You

When you come, you can go down the river and walk a lot less, but when you go back, it is not so smooth.

At the beginning, it took more than a day to walk by water, but now it takes at least ten days to make a long detour.

Although he doesn't have to travel too much, he is always on the road, sitting in a rickety carriage and horse, and Lin Shuqing himself is not comfortable.

"I see that since I started on the road, the girl's face has not been good, is she a little reluctant to leave Hangzhou City, or is the girl unwell?" Zhang Liqiang stepped forward and said with concern, handing over the kettle and a few washed fruits.

Lin Shuqing did not refuse, and accepted all the orders.

She felt a little sick from her car. It's not the motion sickness in her previous life, she was simply a little dizzy by shaking.

I really don't know when I can have a better road, otherwise it will be a torture to hurry.

"Thank you, Boss Zhang, I'm just sitting here and I'm a little dizzy, and I'll be better when I stop and rest." Lin Shuqing pulled a smile and said, saying that she was not bad.

"If the girl is uncomfortable, just let them stop and rest, it's all for their own use, don't rush so much."

As he spoke, he looked around, and there were many fewer people than when he was up.

Half of the work Zhang Liqiang brought with him has been reduced, some of them stay in Hangzhou City to help the shops do business, and some of them are collecting vegetables and growing vegetables by the Qingquan Palace.

"No, it's better to go back early." Lin Shuqing looked in the direction of home and said.

Qiao Niangzi's darts with her have already gone back, and people rely on darts to send darts to do business, and they have been coming and going on this road.

She always pays attention to the movements of this Xigui County, and last month she heard from the businessmen there that it was raining in Xigui County.

But in the winter there was hail, but in the spring there was no rain, and a lot of grain in the fields died of drought, saying that there would be a famine there.

Before Lin Shuqing left, he counted the food in the village.

It's enough to barely survive the winter, but not in other villages.

Therefore, she is really worried about the situation at home, it is not yet late autumn, she can go to the mountains to find food, and when everything is depressed in winter, people are hungry and cold, that is really a bad situation.

However, there has been no news of refugees along the way, but I have heard that there are many foreigners who come to the east from the counties over there to beg for food.

"After a few days, I'll get used to it, so let's just feel uncomfortable first." Lin Shuqing poured a mouthful of water and suppressed the sour taste that was surging at the base of her tongue.

Fortunately, she hasn't eaten much in the past few days, otherwise she would have vomited by now.

"The girl has a good rest, and I won't disturb the girl." Zhang Liqiang said and returned to the front of the convoy.

Lin Shuqing nibbled on a few fruits, threw the husks to the side of the road, and suddenly heard the screams of birds, and looked up at the forest beside him.

The people in the convoy also noticed this, and they all looked around, raising their vigilance.

A few Taoist priests who came from Qingquan Palace walked at the back of the convoy, that is, Lin Shuqing's side, always vigilant.

"Senior brother, there seem to be a lot of people in the forest." The little Taoist priest who looked at the most immature face said, and the sword in his hand clenched unconsciously.

Several people took off their robes and changed into ordinary people's clothes.

But he doesn't dress like an ordinary person, but because the material of the clothes looks a little old, but it has a more kind of wandering and chivalrous taste.

"Don't panic, this bird is what others call a foolish bird, and it is easy to be frightened by anything. One of them flew up, and the others flew in groups, maybe they were frightened by the squirrels in the trees. The eldest man said leisurely.

"You go to the front and tell them, don't panic."

Their convoy is poor and white, and there is no reason to be targeted, the little Taoist thought calmly in his heart, and did as his senior brother ordered.

Half a mile away from the woods, by the haystack stood a group of fierce men with scars on horseback.

There were traces of horses hurrying around them.

Several people stared cautiously at the surrounding woods, holding the knives in their hands ready at all times.

"Big brother, isn't there someone else hiding in this forest? Want to steal our business? ”

"Let's see for a while, if there are few people, we will go up and kill them, if there are many people, we will run separately."

"What about the convoy ahead? If we lose it, we will lose a lot. ”

After saying this, the man in charge did not feel a little gloomy.

"Then let's follow that group, if someone else comes out, depending on the situation, they will be slaughtered together."

Saying that, a group of people went on the road again, and slowly drove forward without hurrying or slowing down the carriage in front of them.

On the branches of the trees about ten meters behind, there were a few gray-clothed people, looking at the people in front of them, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

"You say these people aren't stupid!" One of the secret gongs transmitted the message to the others.

"The Xie family released the list to chase and kill, and the heavy money chased and killed Miss Lin, although this list was also unloaded by another Xie family in time, but there are also a lot of miscellaneous fish to see."

They didn't want to think about it, the Xie family had a lot of people in their hands, so why bother to leave it to others to do it. Isn't this a muddy water? ”

"Why do you think so much for others? It's better to think about protecting Miss Lin, I heard that the news that the fire was burned reached to the master, and the master got angry and punished a lot of people, so we came over. ”

"If we don't do a good job, we will be the next to be punished."

The man in gray, you look at me, I look at you, and he flew towards the trees in front of him.

Lin Shuqing follows the safest plan every time she travels, even if some places are a little far away.

But she would rather go to a distant post station than sleep in the wilderness.

The inn is much safer than outside.

When the moon was on the branches, a group of people walked to the post station in the silver moonlight.

This will make the lights of the post station have stopped, and the people in front of them went to knock on the door, and after knocking for a long time, the post officer came out and reluctantly opened the door.

"You only came here in the middle of the night, and you don't let people sleep at ease!" The post officer grumbled as he opened the door.

The job of shouting at the door in front of him was very discerning and handed over a purse.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, take this to eat and drink. Please prepare some forage for our horses and some hot water. ”

The post officer touched his purse, and his face softened a lot.

"Okay, you guys come in quickly, move lightly, don't make a noise to the adults inside."

With that, a group of people quickly entered the post station.

Lin Shuqing stood in place, feeling more or less wrong in her heart, but she couldn't tell where it was.

So he had to go in with the people.

There are no lights in the courtyard of the post station, except for some oil lamps in the front dining hall, but the lights are too dim.
