Chapter 172: The Frightened Carriage
After leaving the fields and returning to the official road, everyone continued to move forward unhurriedly, sometimes telling jokes and making a few jokes, and there was no boredom on the way.
After walking out of the road for a while, Wang Yu looked up at the sky and suggested that it was authentic,
"It's almost noon, my lord, I remember there's a small town about four or five miles to the right, and we can go there for lunch and rest."
"Okay, let's do it."
When He Ruichang heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed, and the group left the official road and walked in the direction pointed by Wang Yu.
It is said that it is only four or five miles, not very far at all, and everyone has begun to think about what to eat for this lunch, but at this time, there was a rapid cry for help from the left front,
"Helpββγ come quickly, save people-"
"No, we haven't eaten yet, how can we have the strength to save people......"
Wang Yu said with a crying and laughing expression.
Zong Jiyuan listened to it angrily and funny, but he didn't have time to worry about him, and turned his head to look at Lord He who was sitting in the car.
He Ruichang understood what the little master meant, so he nodded and said,
"Let's take a look, but be careful."
"Students understand,"
Nodding, Zong Jiyuan said quickly,
"Third Brother Diao, protect the adults and sons, Lu Hong and Ke Yi, you two come with me!"
After speaking, he urged the horse and galloped away in the direction where the cry for help came, and Lu Hong and Ke Yi themselves followed closely behind. When Wang Yu saw it, he was a little stunned, and he muttered to himself, "Why don't you call me again", and followed.
In the distance, I saw a carriage running wildly, and the cries for help came from this carriage, but it was empty in the place where it should have been manned.
Needless to ask, it could be seen that the two horses driving like crazy must have been frightened by something, so he didn't have time to think about it, so Zong Jiyuan chased after the horse, until he kept pace with the carriage for a while, saw the right time, threw the stirrup off the saddle from his horse, jumped into the carriage, grabbed the reins, tried his best to control the two horses, and with great effort, finally slowed down the car, and finally stopped slowly.
"Master! How are you, are you alright?! β
At this time, Lu Hong and Ke Yi also chased after them with shouts.
And then Wang Yu, who followed behind, also rode a horse to arrive, and casually led Zong Jiyuan's horse over.
"Ji Yuan, why didn't you let me come, don't you know that I'm a good driver?"
"Isn't your brother hungry and has no strength to save people? Little brother, how dare I trouble your big driver......"
As he spoke, Zong Jiyuan turned around and turned to the direction inside the carriage,
"Are you all right......"
But she stopped halfway through the sentence, for what she saw told her that there was only one person in the car, and that it was an old lady.
However, a little observation shows that the person who shouted "help" just now must be her, although the danger has been lifted, and the old lady has resumed her graceful and upright posture, but the unconcealable trace of fright has not faded.
Zong Jiyuan looked around again before asking again,
"Old lady, you are frightened, are you alright?"
"Thank you, kid, for the rescue, thank you,"
The old lady's voice was very kind,
"If you hadn't arrived in time to stop the carriage, the old body would have been really dangerous today."
"It's okay if you're okay,"
Seeing that she was indeed fine, Zong Jiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief lightly and said,
"But how can you be alone when you're away from home? Where did the people who drove the car go? β
"Oh, look at me old fool!"
After her reminder, the old lady suddenly knocked the cane in her hand on the floor of the carriage hard, and said urgently,
"How did I forget, just now our group encountered robbers, and the servants in my house tried their best to protect the old man and escape, but they must still be fighting with the bandits over there! And my little grandson was there, and the driver who was driving the car fell off the car in the middle of the road......"
"Don't worry, old lady,"
Seeing that she suddenly became like this again, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but want to laugh, and said in his heart, this old lady is really enough, and she can even forget such an important matter, but she has to appease the authentic truth,
"Tell me where they are, and I'll save them!"
"Can you, you kid?"
Probably seeing her beautiful appearance and slightly thin figure, the old lady took care of her again.
Zong Jiyuan really couldn't cry or laugh, and said continuously,
"Don't worry, Xiaosheng can do it, and I have other friends who can go together, and I will definitely rescue your relatives and dependents!" Where the hell are they? β
"Right in ......"
As she spoke, the old lady leaned out of the car window, but she almost fell out, thanks to Zong Jiyuan's quick eyes and jumping down, he instantly went around the side of the car and held her, the old lady raised her hand and pointed to it,
"It's over there, I guess it'......"
"Well, well,"
Knowing that any further delay was likely to be a matter of human life, Zong Jiyuan turned his head and looked at Wang Yu,
"You, a good driver, come over and be responsible for driving, I'll go over with Lu Hong and Ke Yi to have a look."
"Huh? Wait......"
Wang Yu seemed to want to follow her, but seeing that the three of them were gone all the way, and they couldn't leave such an old lady here alone, so they had to sigh and say,
"Old lady, sit tight, and when our companions arrive, we will go over together to save your family."
"Oh, yes,"
The old lady looked relieved and happy, but she showed curiosity on her face.
"Who was that kid just now?"
"Just now? Oh, you mean Ji Yuan, he's my brother. β
Wang Yu smiled slightly and said.
But the old lady looked at him and shook her head in disbelief.
"But you two don't look too alike, how old is your brother?"
"He'sβhe's nineteen years old......"
Originally, Wang Yu's heart was very anxious, but this old lady still had a routine with him, which was really helpless and funny, but she had to answer her.
But the old lady still continued to dig into the roots.
"What's his last name? Are you married? β
"Old lady, ask yourself these things in a moment,"
Wang Yu was really not in the mood to talk to her, so he jumped on the carriageway,
"Sit tight, I'll take you to him now!"
As soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, the cart immediately made a 180-degree turn, turned the horse's head in the direction from which it came, and then waved the whip in his hand and the two horses pulling the cart immediately began to run again......
