Chapter 409: Road Distress
It doesn't seem like the road will be very peaceful, Yu Sufu thought to himself. It's also a shame that he insisted on returning to Beijing with Xie Wanqing, if she was allowed to wander slowly and leisurely on the road by herself, it wouldn't make people worry about death?
However, this girl has always been a big-hearted lord, and she never thinks about her own comfort or anything like that, which can be seen from what she did in the Houjin military camp at that time. If she doesn't think about her own safety, then she can only bother him to think about her personally.
Yu Sufu rode on the horse, looking at the lacquer-red nanmu soft sedan chair beside him, and unconsciously showed a very soft smile on his face.
When they set off, it was already past noon, plus the current solar terms, the days were very short, and today was a cloudy day with no sun, so after a while, it was already dark before they went far.
Xie Wanqing lifted the curtain on the sedan chair, glanced at the already dark sky outside the window, and said to Yu Sufu with some concern: "Look, it's already dark, do we have to find a place to prepare for the night?" ”
After listening to her words, Yu Sufu looked around.
Since this is a border area, there is no city within a radius of dozens of miles, and even the villages are very hungry and rare, and if they want to stay in a hotel tonight, they are afraid that it is very impossible, so they can only sleep in the wilderness.
In addition, it was this gloomy weather, and Yu Sufu was worried about whether it would rain suddenly, but not a drop of rain fell during the day. But it's hard to say at night, and if it rains, it's even worse.
So, they had to quickly find a good place to sleep and be sheltered from the wind and rain, Yu Sufu thought.
"Leave it to me." Yu Sufu turned his head and smiled at Xie Wanqing's worried face, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's useless for you to worry, so it's better to stay in your sedan chair obediently, and I should be better at things like finding camps to sleep in than you." ”
Xie Wanqing thought about it, and felt that what this person said was quite reasonable, why did she have to mess with so much heart and make yourself troubled? It's better to continue to retract into the sedan chair and don't want to come to anything. So, she really didn't care about it and went back to sleep.
There are many low hills around here, and there are many leeward places, but there are really not many places that can keep out the rain. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Yu Sufu finally found a small cave before it was completely dark.
Yu Sufu turned over and dismounted, and before going to the small cave, he took a look and found that it was a wonderful place.
Although there is not much space in the cave, fortunately it is very dry, and there are no traces of wild beasts, so it should be very safe.
The fly in the ointment is that it seems that this place can only accommodate the four of them to rest, and their horses are afraid that they will be left outside.
After Yu Sufu waited for the car to stop, he stepped forward and lifted the curtain on the sedan chair, ready to shout Xie Wanqing to come down, but as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Xie Wanqing's sleeping face, which seemed to be sleeping very sweetly.
Yu Sufu only felt that he was really amazed by this woman's sleeping skills. Why did he think she had been sleeping all day?
His heart sent out the same question that Xie Wanqing asked about the amount of food he had at noon, isn't she really a pig? How can a person get so much sleep and sleep well?
But at the moment, she can't let her continue to sleep like this, this posture is not good for her body, I'm afraid that she will fall into the stiff neck after sleeping for a long time.
Thinking so, Yu Sufu reached directly into the sedan chair and woke Xie Wanqing up very directly and unceremoniously.
Xie Wanqing slept soundly, and was awakened from a dream by someone cold, thinking that something terrible had happened, she made a big jump, her eyes opened suddenly, and she hurriedly smelled in a daze: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Yu Sufu smiled at her, smiling toothlessly, looking very gentle, humble and polite, "I'm just here to wake you up." ”
Xie Wanqing was woken up by his ravaging method for the second time today. She felt that if she was a balloon, she would definitely be able to rise up without blowing up this time, and she would be angry with Yu Sufu.
She lifted the blanket she was wearing and stretched a little in the cramped carriage to make herself feel a little better, then lifted the curtain and bent out of the sedan chair, and was carried by the maid to the ground.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw the small cave, so she turned to look at Yu Sufu and asked, "We're staying here tonight?" ”
"Yes." Yu Sufu nodded, and said with some helplessness in his tone: "This is also a matter of no choice, there is really no more suitable place around here than here, let's spend the night like this." ”
Xie Wanqing nodded when she heard this. In fact, it really doesn't matter to her where she sleeps, after all, she is a person who has lived two lives, and her mentality is much more mature than ordinary people, and she will not care about these small sections that are not a big deal.
Let's just leave it for the night, she reassured herself in her heart.
"You two are waiting here now, Wang Wu and I will go to the neighborhood to pick up some firewood, and by the way, see if there is anything to eat in this neighborhood." Yu Sufu instructed Xie Wanqing.
When Xie Wanqing heard the two words of eating, she couldn't help but have a golden light in her eyes. She hadn't eaten anything that day, except for the meal she had when she got up, which she didn't know if it was going to be counted as breakfast or lunch.
She had already digested the little food in her stomach after this afternoon's journey, and now she was hungry, and she felt that she could eat Yu Sufu whole.
It's also to blame her for not thinking about it before going out, if she had prepared a little food in the car, she wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.
Now that she heard that Yu Sufu was going to find something to eat, Xie Wanqing suddenly became interested, and she didn't even have the previous sleepiness, so she hurriedly pushed Yu Sufu forward, and said as she walked: "Go quickly, go quickly, go quickly!" If you can't find something to eat, don't come back. ”
Seeing her like this, Yu Sufu couldn't help but laugh, "Obey, my subordinates will definitely find you a bunch of food to come back, you can wait here for the time being, my lady." ”
After saying that, he and Wang Wu walked towards the depths of the forest.
Xie Wanqing looked at the backs of them leaving, and somehow her eyebrows suddenly jumped, and some inexplicable feelings welled up in her heart. Taking advantage of the fact that the backs of Yu Sufu and Wang Wu had not completely disappeared into the forest, she shouted at them again: "Go and come back quickly!" ”
"Got it." Yu Sufu would not answer her, and then the two of them were obscured by the luxuriant branches, and they could no longer be seen.
Xie Wanqing sighed, turned around and returned to the side of the sedan chair, raised her legs and sat on the wooden board in front of the sedan chair, shaking her legs boredly.
The two able-bodied men in their group were not here at the moment, and she suddenly had a feeling of panic and fear.
Diexiang also felt this way at the moment, so she understood Xie Wanqing very much, walked up to her and said, "Don't worry, Madam, the Jade Prince and the Wang Guards should be back soon." Her words seemed to be comforting Xie Wanqing and herself.
Xie Wanqing nodded, stretched out her hand and patted her face a few times, wanting to dispel the messy thoughts in her mind.
She is grateful for Wanqing, a woman who has lived two lifetimes, is she still afraid of staying in the woods at night? I'm not afraid of being laughed at, she's the general's wife, and she must not be so cowardly!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the cool air got into Xie Wanqing's collar, which made her shiver all over, and the whole person shrank up.
Forget it, don't lie to yourself. She was still quite afraid of staying in this forest at night, especially now that the sky was completely dark, and she basically couldn't see her fingers in this wood, which was really scary.
Xie Wanqing has never missed Yu Sufu like this moment, her mind is full of Yu Sufu, where are you, come back quickly!
