Wang Hu stroked his nose with his sleeve, counted the silver taels he had just received, and finally he put away the silver with satisfaction and patted Ma Dong's back, "Brother, let's go, six people are about the same, if you don't set off, you won't be able to go to the next town for the night before dark." ”

Ma Dong responded, then clapped his hands and called to the guests who were sitting on the side of the road to rest, "Everyone, we are ready to go, hurry up and get in the carriage!" ”

Xiao Jia heard that he was about to leave, so he immediately occupied the position of the car window.

Chu Jiu didn't see her move quickly to grab a seat, she just wanted to lie in the corner now to make up for sleep.

Then the other passengers also got into the carriage one after another.

When Wang Hu saw the people, he drove the carriage with a wave of his whip, and Ma Dong followed behind them in the wagon.

The group of them walked all the way, and gradually left Tu Sucheng behind.

After an hour, Chu Jiu, who was sleeping in a daze, was finally woken up by the bumpy carriage, she swallowed her saliva and felt a little thirsty, but then she realized that she didn't bring water, and there were still two days to go? She felt like she wanted to cry without tears.

"What's wrong with that expression?" Sister Xiao Jia saw her with a sad expression.

"Sister Xiaojia, I, I forgot to bring water."

Sister Xiao Jia took out a kettle from her burden and threw it to her, "Drink mine." ”

Chu Jiu was so moved that he was about to cry, "Sister Xiaojia, thank you." Then he opened the stopper of the kettle and closed it in a big gulp.

"No thanks," Xiao Jia said suddenly sly, "and you will be responsible for loading the water for the rest of the road." ”

"Huh?" Chu Jiu was puzzled.

"You don't have a kettle on you, so you can only use me, I don't mind sharing the same kettle with you now, but you are responsible for filling the water at the nearby water source when you rest."

Chu Jiu nodded in agreement, she also felt that this condition was reasonable, and of course she had to repay for using other people's things.

Xiao Jia propped up his chin with his left hand, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and felt that it was quite comfortable to have someone to call occasionally.

Chu Jiu, who was not sleepy, was very bored, she looked left and right, and sometimes picked up her hair to play with it, she braided small braids, untied them, and then tied them up again. She looked at Sister Xiao Jia, who was just sitting there quietly, "Sister Xiaojia, what kind of place is Liangcheng?" ”

"Liangcheng ......"

Chu Jiu looked at Sister Xiao Jia thoughtfully and looked at her expectantly, but she only replied, "I don't know either." ”

Xiao Jia really hadn't been to Liangcheng, and at that time she just wanted to leave Tusu City as soon as possible, so she didn't have any plans.

Chu Jiu found another topic to say, "Sister Xiaojia, where are you from?" I see that your handwriting is so good, and your martial arts are quite powerful. ”

Xiao Jia didn't want to answer her question, so she said, "Don't you think you're very noisy? ”

Noisy? Chu Jiu had a questioning face, she looked at the people next to her who were chatting enthusiastically, weren't they more noisy than herself?

Xiao Jia had already turned her head and began to close her eyes to recuperate.

Chu Jiu's whole person was so panicked that she played with her hair, tied it up, untied it again, tied it up and untied it again. Gradually, she became addicted to playing, and happiness was as simple as that for her.

After a long time, the clouds filled the sky, and they refused to disperse, and slowly the sky became dark, and the rain fell like silver beads on their carriage.

"It's raining!" Wang Hu, who was outside the car, stopped the carriage and discussed countermeasures with Ma Dong.

Wang Hu saw that the sky was getting worse and worse, he decided to go to the broken temple in front of him for a while, he opened the curtain and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's go to the broken temple in front of us to avoid the rain, and then set off when the rain stops, do you think it's okay?" ”

"That can't be helped."

"Let's go shelter from the rain first."

The guests in the car feel that they should take shelter from the rain, and it is really dangerous to go on the road in the rain.

Wang Hu drove the carriage again, and he led everyone to the ruined temple in the distance.

He braved the rain and led the horses up the veranda without railings, and he looked at the verandah covered by the eaves and thought it was almost over, "Guys, here's it, get out of the car." He asked Ma Dong in the back to do the same, coaxing the horses to lead the wagon into the corridor.

The first nine of the people walked along the corridor into the front hall of the ruined temple, and then they found that there were already three men resting in the house.

The men seemed to have been here for some time, for they had all made fires, and the pot in front of them was still boiling hot.

Wang Hu took the initiative to greet them, "Sorry, I'm sorry, it's raining outside, don't you mind if we rest here?" ”

"Don't mind, we're just passing through here." A man said.

Xiao Jia felt that their appearance was a little strange for some reason, the weather was so good just now, normal people should be in a hurry to find a way to go to a place where there are people before dark. She looked at the burden they had unloaded on the ground, and then at the water they boiled. They shouldn't have just arrived, but they've been here for a while.

Ma Dong suddenly became a little thirsty when he saw the water boiled by the man, and he asked Wang Hu: "Where is our kettle, give me some water." ”

Wang Hu shook the kettle in his hand, "There is no water." When he saw Ma Dong's thirsty appearance, he dared to ask the man sitting there for water, "This brother, can you give us some water to drink?" We traveled long distances and drank all the water. ”

The man generously replied, "No problem, you can pour it yourself, we also brought this water from the well in the courtyard outside." ”

Several other passengers also had the audacity to ask the man for water.

Chu Jiu saw that other people were like this, and he also wanted to ask them for water, and Sister Xiaojia's kettle was already out of water. She walked over and cheekily asked, "This big brother, can you give me some water?" ”

The man who divided the water saw that it was a little girl, and his tone was a little bold, "Little girl, don't ask us again if it's not enough." ”

Chu Jiu happily took the kettle full of water, said thank you, and then ran back to Sister Xiaojia's side, she kept blowing into the mouth of the pot with her mouth, trying to help the hot water cool down, and finally when it was almost cold, she took a sip to quench her thirst.

She saw Sister Xiao Jia on the side, and handed the kettle diligently, "Sister Xiao Jia, you can drink it too." ”

Xiao Jia saw that Chu Jiu drank the water and was safe and sound, so he also relaxed and took a sip.

Suddenly, the people around him fell one after another.

The same is true of Chu Jiu, after she fell, the consciousness of her whole body was still there, and she saw that the three men sitting around the fire stood up safely, but at this time her whole body was unable to move, like a prey to be slaughtered by others, lying there obediently for the hunter to slaughter.

Xiao Jia saw that her heart was broken, but as soon as she moved, the effect of the medicine came up, and she collapsed directly to the ground.

The men standing there shouted to the dilapidated curtain behind them, "Senior brother, they are all down. ”

The curtain of the door in the darkness was suddenly blown by the wind, and a few people could be vaguely seen hiding behind.

Among them, the man with a pair of crescent-shaped eyes squinted his eyes, took the knife in his hand, and gently opened the door curtain with the handle of the knife and walked out, he saw Xiao Jia lying on the ground, and smiled proudly, "Don't come to harm, second junior brother." ”
