The carriage kept moving forward, but the path became more and more remote.

Xie Huai'an's heart was a little flustered, he waited for a long time and didn't see the little girl in the carriage, and then asked any questions.

At this moment, the carriage was pressed against the rubble, and even the carriage shook unsteadily, and the lanterns hanging on both sides of the carriage were overwhelmed, and the candlelight inside trembled and almost went out. Xie Huai'an pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

Gently knocking on the door behind him, Xie Huai'an asked, "Ah, are there any candles in the carriage?" The candles in the lantern outside look like they're running out......"

The little girl covered her ears and rolled over, babbling impatiently, unable to make out what she was saying.

Xie Huai'an waited for a while, the candle flame in the lantern was already crumbling in the wind, and if he waited any longer, even if he found the candle, it would be useless.

He pushed open the hidden car door, and in the candlelight and moonlight, he saw the little girl sleeping in Zhengxiang.

The position in the carriage is not big, half of the little girl's body is leaning on the soft collapse, but the other half of her body is leaning on the carriage, which is a little weird and twisted, and it looks strangely uncomfortable, no wonder she frowns tightly.

It's just that the little girl's body is quite weak, and if she sleeps like this, she will catch a cold.

Xie Huai'an remembered that his brother was often worried for a while, wasn't it because he was worried that the little girl in front of him would be ill, so that his friend Wen Huan would never recover!

Taking a deep breath, after Xie Huai'an let himself relax, he turned out a thin quilt in the compartment of the carriage, adjusted Ayu's almost weird sleeping position by the way, covered her with the quilt, found a candle, and then walked out of the carriage.

He looked into the distance, with no end in sight, sighed, replaced the lantern with a new candle, and let the black horse pulling the cart wander by itself.

After a short nap, Ah Yu woke up because he was thirsty.

The effect of the fruit wine had almost dissipated, she coughed slightly, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she opened her mouth to call out Mama Chang's name.

Xie Huai'an, who was outside the carriage, suddenly had a thrill, and the black horse led them to a small forest, and the surroundings were pitch black, and there were no landmark buildings, so he didn't know where he was now.

The trance was only a matter of a moment, Ah Yu pulled the thin quilt with one hand, rubbed her eyes with the other hand, and the memory before falling asleep finally came back, and she remembered that she should be on the way to Xie Mansion now, but for some reason, this road will be so long.

"I've already slept once, hasn't Xie Mansion arrived yet?"

Ah Yu opened the car door and asked Xie Huai'an, who was driving the car, suspiciously.

The first to appear in front of her was Xie Huai'an's slightly rickety back, and then the black horse gnawing on the weeds under the candlelight, the moonlight sprinkled all over the ground seemed to be laughing at her, and the grove next to the road was more like giving her a heavy punch.

She looked at Xie Huai'an in disbelief: "Is it because I'm too lonely?" How could there ever be a grove in Kyoto? ”

Xie Huai'an turned his head, and his particularly immature face was a little dark and dull under the dimming of the candlelight.

He was very depressed and said: "I don't know what's going on, usually when I come home from outside, it does take some time, but every time I go back." But now it must be because there is an extra carriage, and I always go to the fork in the road, and I can't turn back, so I walk and walk, and I come here. ”

Listening to his words, Ah Yu suddenly remembered what her mother and brother had said to her before, about the mysterious disappearance of the little master of the Xie family, although the little master of the family ran to his uncle's house, and finally asked his uncle to send him home.

Now that I think about it, there is probably another mystery in it.

Ah Yu calmed down for a moment and said to Xie Huai'an: "Na, you tell me the truth, I promise not to laugh at you, don't you know the way?" ”

She thought that when she was in Duan's Mansion, Xie Huai'an didn't leave the door, but went directly over the wall.

Xie Huai'an immediately retorted: "Who said I don't know the road, you told me last time that there are many secret rooms in the White Horse Academy, and I have found five of them now, how could I not know the road!" ”

The weaker some people are, the more justified they become.

Ah Yu glanced at Xie Huai'an, who was arrogant, and asked rhetorically, "Aren't the five secret rooms you found really because you are always getting lost?" ”

Xie Huai'an's momentum disappeared little by little under Ah Yu's gaze.

He lowered his head, like a puppy who had lost a fight, and said dejectedly, "Yes, I admit it, I just don't know the way." ”

Ah Yu covered his face, thinking that he might have drunk fake wine today, so he was so confused.

She smiled wryly and said, "What should I do?" I don't know the way, what should I do now to go back? ”

The situation soon turned into two people looking at each other, both helpless.

After being silent for a long time, Ah Yu still felt that her heart was beating too fast, she rejected Xie Huai'an's suggestion to let her go back to the carriage to rest, put her eyes on the black horse in front of her who was leisurely eating grass, turned her head to look at Xie Huai'an, who was sentimental to the moon, and asked in a low voice: "Xie Huai'an, do you know that there is a saying that the old horse knows the way?" ”

Xie Huai'an came back to his senses in Ah Yu's voice, he looked at the black horse pulling the cart, and shook his head: "The old horse knows the way, I know, but the horse that your family pulls the cart, I think it is still too young." ”

He didn't dare to say that the reason why they had come to such an inexplicable grove was because of the way led by this horse.

Even if he knew that this idea was unreliable, Ah Yu wanted to try again.

After all, they don't have any other way now.

Ah Yu jumped out of the carriage, circled the black horse and the carriage several times, held his chin with one hand and thought for a moment, and said to Xie Huai'an: "I recognize this horse, it seems to have been raised by my brother." I think the reason why it stopped here and didn't go was because the carriage behind it was too heavy, and if the carriage behind it was unloaded, it would definitely go back! ”

Xie Huai'an doesn't think so.

But if you try, it's okay, so he didn't refuse.

The two of them worked together to free the black horse from the shackles of the carriage, and the two of them smiled with relief as they watched the black horse's smooth figure open its hooves and run towards the darkness.

Especially Xie Huai'an, he sighed: "The old horse knows the way, and the ancients don't deceive me!" ”

Ah Yu glanced at the direction where the black horse left, then at the scattered carriage, and then at Xie Huai'an, who was still standing next to her stupidly, and suddenly cried out with a 'wow'.

She was ready for a bumpy ride on a horse, but what she didn't expect was that she couldn't even ride a horse.

Xie Huai'an only then realized that before they unloaded the carriage, they forgot to tie the reins of the black horse to the tree.

So now that there are no horses, they have to walk back on their legs!
