Chapter Eighty-Three: Alone Is No Good 3
The lunch time was finally spent tremblingly in the torment, but now there was still half a day to stay at the post station, Hongling asked Chen Jinye secretly, "Can't you leave early?" The answer was obviously disappointing, if you go on the road now, I am afraid that you will have to sleep in the wilderness at night.
Hong Ling and Chen Jinye sat in the room relatively speechless, and finally their ears were a little clearer, Hong Ling lazily lay on the table and glanced at Chen Jinye obliquely, "Why don't you go sleep for a while?" ”。
Chen Jinye didn't shirk it, after all, he was almost blinded last night, and he bumped on the road before dawn, thinking that he would close his eyes and recuperate in the carriage until the evening and then have a good rest, who would have thought that Liu Ling'er would suddenly fall into such a warm post station, but he was afraid that he would not find a chance to sleep for a while, but he would not have to live in peace.
Taking advantage of Chen Jinye's sleep, Hong Ling quietly opened the package of the moon letter belt brought back by the groom and looked at it, a dozen moon letter belts, Hong Ling blushed slightly and glanced in the direction of Chen Jinye, fortunately, he was asleep, Hong Ling folded half a dozen moon letter belts and put them in her bag, and took out two more from the remaining half dozen, thinking about finding an opportunity to return them to the boss lady.
Although the monthly letter belt should have been recycled, but now on the road, I can't take much into account, thinking, Hongling tiptoed out of the room, and after going to the thatched house to change one, she mustered up the courage to go to the boss's place, thinking that the boss's lady was just too enthusiastic, and there was no other malice.
"Boss, are you the only one?"
Seeing Hongling coming, the proprietress immediately smiled, "My family went hunting, and when he comes back, we can add dinner in the evening."
Hongling was infected by the boss's smile and laughed, and then slowly took out the monthly letter tape hidden in the cuff and put it into the boss's hand, "Boss, thank you for this noon today, you put this strap away, it is also new."
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, then slowly pinched the cuffs of the income, raised her eyes and looked at Hongling a few times, and felt that the more she looked at Hongling, the happier she became, so she put down the things she was busy with and pulled Hongling to sit down.
"Girl, you don't know, although my post station hasn't been open for a long time, you are still the first one who knows how to return something you borrowed."
Seeing the eagerness and determination of the proprietress, Hong Ling suddenly felt that she was a little flattered, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The proprietress has won the award, this is what I should do."
The proprietress stared at Hongling lovingly for a while, and said with emotion: "If my daughter is still here, she should be like you when she grows up."
Hongling immediately noticed the abnormality, and couldn't help but twist her brows and hold the boss's hand, "Auntie, what's wrong with her?" ”。
"Oh, she'......"
After listening to the words of the proprietress, Hongling realized that the little girl was captured by the bandits in the area here many years ago, and the thieves did not get the ransom of the silver taels, so they tore up the ticket and wiped the little girl's neck.
"Auntie, it's not easy for you"
Hongling almost cried when she heard the story of the proprietress, but she was worried that she would make the proprietress even more sad, so she endured it and kept stroking the proprietress hand, hoping to comfort her.
The afternoon time was short, after Hongling and the proprietress so sad chat, time passed quickly, when the sun moved to the westernmost position, the boss rode back, only to see him carrying a large bag of things hurriedly into the firewood room, Hongling saw it and immediately pointed to the proprietress to see, "Ah! Uncle is back, it seems that he has a good night to eat."
Hongling was about to get up and go to the firewood room to see if there was anything she needed help, but the proprietress grabbed her, looked at her lovingly, and said, "Girl, go back to the house first and take Xiaoxu, I should also go and help the old man with me."
Hongling originally wanted to help together, but after thinking about it, she might not even take care of herself, so how could she be confident that she would not drag the boss and the proprietress back, so she immediately bowed her head slightly and went to her own room obediently.
Pushing the door, I saw that Chen Jinye had already woken up and was sitting on a stool in the room, "Woke up so early?" ”。
Chen Jinye looked at Hong Ling without saying a word, and only after Hong Ling completely closed the door did he struggle for a long time before he spoke: "Yes."
When Hong Ling heard his answer, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, why did he talk like this, it seemed to be a little different from usual, just when Hong Ling was about to open her mouth to tease him, Chen Jinye stepped up and hugged Hong Ling into his arms.
Chen Jinye's sudden action Hong Ling was slightly startled for a moment, and then felt that her heart was beating wildly as if it was equipped with an electric motor, and before Hong Ling had time to react, Chen Jinye slowly bowed his head to Hong Ling's ear affectionately......
"Don't listen to me, there is a problem with this station, I have asked the groom to get the carriage with my luggage, we will go out now, prepare to leave, be careful not to show your face, I will explain to you in detail later"
After finishing speaking, Chen Jinye affectionately dropped a light kiss on Hongling's forehead, and then slowly looked down at Hongling in his arms, and said, "Hong'er, for your husband to know that you are wrong, are you willing to forgive your husband?" ”。
Chen Jinye's affectionate eyes locked on Hong Ling, Hong Ling Rao could hear clearly what he had just settled, but she still couldn't help blushing slightly, staring at Chen Jinye's eyes trembled crampedly a few times, before she settled down a little, Hong Ling quickly staggered her eyes with him, and then quickly took half a step back, and then raised her head to meet Chen Jinye's slightly condensed and questioning eyes, and she regained some reason.
"Husband, what are these words, the concubine naturally won't blame you", said Hongling and leaned on Chen Jinye's arm slightly.
Chen Jinye seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then wrapped his arms around Hongling's waist and said, "In that case, why don't we go outside and watch the sunset?" Hearing this, Hong Ling smiled and twisted a few times, and shyly smashed Chen Jinye's chest with a small pink fist, before nodding tenderly in agreement.
And all this has fallen into the eyes behind a small hole in the corner, and the owner of those eyes is the owner of the inn.
"It seems that they are not suspicious, go cook, I'll go get the sweat medicine"
"Good"
At this time, the proprietress has no love or smile in her eyes, and her calm face reveals a bit of sophisticated ruthlessness, she is not a warm-hearted proprietress or a poor woman who has lost her daughter, she has always been the one who took the lives of those poor women.
"Oh no!"
The proprietress frowned slightly, put down the spatula in her hand, and looked at the innkeeper impatiently, "What's wrong?" ”。
"Their carriage is gone!"
"What!?"
The proprietress suddenly lit a fire in her heart, and quickly went into the house of Chen Jinye and Hongling in three steps, and sure enough, except for the clothes drying in the window, all the rest of the bags were gone.
The proprietress suddenly narrowed her eyes dangerously, and shouted in a low voice: "Chase me!" Catch them all for me! ”。
Hong Ling followed Chen Jinye pacing out of the gate of the post station, and slowly accelerated to trot all the way to the east, Chen Jinye jumped neatly and took Hong Ling behind him to the carriage, and the groom slapped the horse's buttocks, and the carriage gradually ran up at an accelerated speed.
"Who are they?"
"Bandits"
As soon as Chen Jinye's words fell, he heard the dense sound of horses' hooves chasing after him on a horse, Chen Jinye's expression became more and more solemn, and he asked the groom outside the carriage, "Can it be faster?" ”。
"Lord Qiqi, it's not going to be soon, it's better for the prince and princess to ride horses, and my palace will delay them."
Before the groom finished speaking, Chen Jinye leaned out and looked back at the bandits riding horses behind him, almost a dozen people, not too much, seeing this, Chen Jinye fished out the saber hidden under the carriage seat, and then coldly left a sentence: "Take care of her, wait for me at the next post station at the latest, don't look back."
After that, he jumped over the roof of the car and killed a group of mountain bandits, although Chen Jinye only brought a horseman with him this time, but this person is Chen Jinye's most trusted confidant - Bai Ju.
Bai Ju understood what Chen Jinye meant, so he rushed towards the direction of the next post station even faster, and Hong Ling poked her head out of the shaking carriage slightly, "Aren't you going back to save him?" ”。
Bai Ju gritted his teeth, looked ahead indifferently, and slapped the horse's ass fiercely, "Don't worry, princess, the prince will be fine."
There was a fierce fight in the table tennis behind him, and the sound of the horses' hooves weakened slightly and fell a few meters behind him, Hong Ling worriedly glanced out of the carriage window on one side, and saw Chen Jinye, who was dressed in a dark robe, took the attack of four big knives as soon as he raised his sword, and the person on the other side was about to stab him in the waist with a red tassel spear, Hong Ling's breathing was about to stop, and he shouted loudly without thinking: "Right!" Watch out for the right! Then Hongling only felt a pain in her forehead, and her eyes were black and she fainted.
The carriage galloped all the way forward, vigorously, ran for an hour, now the sun had set, there were no pursuers behind him, the groom slowly parked the carriage in the woods, leaned in and helped Hong Ling, who had fainted in the carriage, to lean on the seat, and then retreated and sat outside the carriage.
When the princess poked her head out, she had already been targeted by a thief with an arrow at the neck, and the prince immediately reacted, even when dealing with the four thieves with big knives slashing at him, he did not forget to use a stone to blind the thief who was aiming at the princess with an arrow, and then when the princess shouted and revealed her position, even at the risk of being stabbed by the red tassel spear, the prince still hit the princess's forehead with great accuracy.
If it had been before, the prince would never have done this......
