Chapter 415: Carriage in the Rain
These conversations between the Shan Tianying brothers and sisters, as well as their subsequent whereabouts, Xue'er naturally didn't know, her mind was all about how to get rid of the people of the Shadow Moon Divine Palace, and she also wanted to attract everyone to her.
In fact, it is really not too difficult for Xue'er to attract people.
Don't dare to set fire, the smoke is deliberate, after all, they haven't lit a fire for three days, and the sudden smoke at this moment is easy to associate with a trap.
Therefore, Xue'er had to continue to "trouble" the Black Hawk, so that it could communicate with the surrounding birds, and pass on Xue'er's location to the birds and beasts carried by those people in the Shadow Moon Divine Palace.
Cher naturally knows that she is outnumbered, so she never clashes with each other head-on, and the birds rush to Cher's location with their respective owners, and can find out Cher's whereabouts, but they always pounce at the last moment.
In this way, Xue'er took the nose of the group of people in the Shadow Moon Divine Palace, and walked around the edge of the dense forest for three days, so that she would not get lost with the guidance of the black eagle, so she decided to leave the deep forest and rush to Ruiyang City.
Three days should be enough time for the Shan Tianying brothers and sisters to walk out of the deep forest, Xue'er thought and looked up at the long-lost sunshine.
The people of the Shadow Moon Divine Palace never gave up, maybe they would catch up at any time, and she didn't dare to pause for too long, relying on the guidance of the Black Eagle, she recognized the direction and continued to move forward.
Hiding along the way, hiding from the people of the Shadow Moon Divine Palace, Xue'er walked for two days before she saw the crowd.
Although it is a poor mountain and bad water, but the folk customs are also simple, at least when they saw Xue'er, who was embarrassed and comparable to a flower child, they did not show disgust and disgust, but welcomed Xue'er into the house very warmly and kindly.
Both husband and wife have a dark complexion unique to Nanping people, their faces are simple and plain, and when they speak, they inadvertently show a mouthful of white teeth.
Both of them are old, they have a son and a daughter, the son has not yet married, and they have not returned from hunting at the moment, but the daughter has already married and does not come back often, so there are only two couples in the family.
What the old woman found for Cher was the old clothes left by her daughter before she got married, and when she took them out, she kept apologizing to Cher as if she had treated Cher badly.
Coarse tea and light rice, but sincere, there was no splendid costume, so he found ordinary clothes for Xue'er to replace, and deliberately burned a large bucket of hot water for Xue'er to bathe.
After drilling in the deep mountains and old forests for more than ten years, Xue'er finally washed off her dirt and changed into a fairly clean clothes.
Opening the simple wooden door and walking out, the long hair on Xue'er's head was not dry, and was wet behind her, and the Nanping woman's cardigan revealed that she was lifting a pair of snow-white Hao wrists to her chest, holding her hair in one hand, and spreading the five fingers of the other hand, combing the dripping long hair like a comb.
The old couple looked straight, stared blankly at Xue'er for a long time and couldn't speak, opened their mouths wide, and were shocked, and even Xue'er forgot to respond when she opened her mouth to thank her.
Xue'er had to take two more steps, and the two of them woke up like a big dream, but there was only one sentence that they said repeatedly: "Girl, are you a flower to the gods?" ”
Being praised in person like this, Xue'er couldn't help blushing, but thinking that the people of the Shadow Moon Divine Palace would catch up at any time, in order not to implicate this pair of kind old men, Xue'er could only blush, responded indiscriminately, and then began to ask the old couple about the direction of Ruiyang City.
After inquiring, I learned that before I knew it, Xue'er had gone from seven or eight miles east of Ruiyang City to the south of the city three hundred miles away.
She thought about it for a while, and decided to go back to Ruiyang City to wait for the arrival of the Shan Tianying brothers and sisters.
At the same time, because the people of the Shadow Moon Divine Palace could catch up at any time, Xue'er didn't want to implicate this kind old couple, so after inquiring about the way to Ruiyang City, she directly said goodbye to the old couple.
The old couple naturally wanted to keep it, but Xue'er was resolute, and after seeing Xue'er's true face, the natural awe in her heart was so good that she could only respond.
Only then did Xue'er hold the Black Eagle and once again set foot on the road to Nanping.
Of course, don't think about the smooth road all the way, Nanping is full of mountains and forests, this road is either over the mountain, or through the forest, fortunately, it is also the "official road" of Nanping, it can not be said that people come and go, endlessly, but you can always meet one or two pedestrians.
When she left the old couple, Xue'er also thought that her appearance was too amazing, and it was easy to cause unnecessary trouble, so she took a kind of grass juice unique to Nanping and painted her face, and wiped a few handfuls on her face, and suddenly became a woman with a sallow face and an ordinary and plain face.
Then he wrapped the black eagle again, and then looked for a scarf to carry on his back, which at first glance looked like an ordinary woman carrying a child on her back.
The southern civilians are open-minded, and it is very common for women to walk alone with their children on their backs, and Xue'er is not conspicuous in them, and she even meets a woman who is carrying a child on her back in a basket and walks with her for a while.
Because Xue'er is walking on the main road, and although the Shadow Moon Divine Palace is arrogant, it must not be arrogant enough to arrest people in broad daylight in full view of everyone, so Xue'er is relatively safe.
She walked like this for two days and returned to Ruiyang City.
There was not much difference between Ruiyang City and the first time she followed Zhong Limo, but the guards at the door were finally on duty normally, but they didn't see how tense the atmosphere was.
In other words, after Xuanyuan Yu's men and horses captured Liancheng, the new capital of the Western Desert, they did not wave their troops south to attack Nanping.
Of course, this is just a guess in Xue'er's heart, after all, she has been drilling in the deep mountains and old forests for more than ten days, and she has been on the road for two or three days, and she can't hear any news, so she can only speculate through the guards of Ruiyang City.
After entering the city, the streets were the same as always, and Xue'er quickly found Zhong Limo's Ling Wang's Mansion with her memory, and then walked to the deserted gate.
However, no matter how deserted King Ling's Mansion is, it is also the mansion of a prince, and it is not easy for Xue'er, an ordinary civilian woman, to enter it.
What's more, Xue'er followed Zhong Limo into the back door at that time, and in the entire Ling Wang's Mansion, except for Zhong Limo, even Princess Ling Susu didn't know her identity, but she knew that she was a distinguished guest that Zhong Limo respected very much, so that's it.
Therefore, Xue'er, who walked to the gate of King Ling's Mansion, asked to see Zhong Limo for the first time, but was directly driven out by the porter!
Xue'er wanted to ask the people of Lingwang's Mansion if the Shan Tianying brothers and sisters had appeared nearby, but they refused to answer, and directly said, "Around Lingwang's Mansion, how can there be idle people waiting for them" and sent Xue'er away.
Xue'er, who ate the closed door, was indomitable, but the second time she was directly driven out with a stick.
In fact, she just wanted to make peace with the Shan Tianying brothers and sisters, and there was no need to go into the Ling Wangfu to find Zhong Limo. This truth was not understood until she reluctantly turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, a drop of cold liquid hit her forehead, startling Xue'er, and before she could react, it was another drop!
Xue'er subconsciously raised her head, and heard a "bang", as if someone had dumped water from mid-air, and in a blink of an eye, the torrential rain was like a note, blocking the entire world, and even the sky darkened in a moment!
The climate in Nanping is humid and hot, and there is naturally a lot of rain, but after Xue'er followed Zhong Limo into Nanping, she has never encountered it, so she didn't take it to heart.
However, she should be even more glad that in order to avoid the people of the Shadow Moon Divine Palace, she had not encountered such a torrential rain in those days in the deep mountains and dense forests, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.
It's just that in a blink of an eye, Xue'er is like a chicken in soup, wet from head to toe, and shivering with cold!
The raindrops the size of beans fell down, making her barely able to open her eyes, and the originally hot and humid weather suddenly turned cold, making Xue'er shiver. But in the blink of an eye, there was a layer of water under my feet.
The black eagle on her back was naturally not spared, but at this moment, Xue'er couldn't take care of it, and there was only one thought left in her heart, that is, to quickly find a place to shelter from the rain.
It's a pity that the street where Ling Wang's Mansion is located has no idle people, Xue'er walked along the street for a long time, but she didn't find a place to shelter from the rain!
I had no choice but to carry the heavy black eagle on my back in the rain, so I could hurry out of this street and find an inn to settle down first.
Cher lowered her head, trying not to let the rain hit her face directly, and just ran to the turn of the street, a horse-drawn carriage came rushing towards her!
The coachman who was driving the carriage was dressed and hated, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and the sound of the whip in his hand was completely muffled by the sound of the rain, and even the sound of the carriage and the wheels became faint. In addition, Xue'er lowered her head again, and actually hit the horse that was driving!
In an instant, the screams and scolding of people, the neighing of horses, and the sound of rain between heaven and earth were intertwined and mixed, and there was chaos!
The coachman instinctively pulled the reins hard, and the horse was frightened, and the man stood up, and the carriage behind him almost jumped with it, and then he fell to the side, and was about to fall to the ground.
Xue'er froze for a moment, but the coachman reacted quickly, the snow bright knife light refracted the rain curtain, almost in the blink of an eye, the knife fell in his hand, and slashed towards the reins of the horse, and at the same time the person also jumped from the wheel!
Everything was in the midst of lightning, and the frightened horses rushed into the rain, and the coachman dodged to the side of the carriage, and with a strong grip of his hands, he finally stopped the carriage from overturning.
Only then did Cher react, and she quickly ran to the side of the carriage and helped the coachman push the carriage.
In the rainstorm, she couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, but Xue'er could feel that the other party glanced at her with anger: "You don't have long eyes when you walk!" ”
Xue'er knew that she was wrong, and she didn't refute it, but just followed the other party, gritted her teeth, and pushed the carriage hard.
"Do you know whose carriage this is? Alarm Princess Ling, can you afford it? The coachman scolded him angrily, venting his anger in his heart, and yelled angrily, holding his arms on one side of the carriage.
It's a pity that it is difficult to support alone, coupled with the heavy rain and slippery roads, it is still impossible to stop the carriage from slowly pressing down.
"Princess Ling?"
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously repeated, but at this time, the carriage shook for a while, and she heard a woman's voice: "Help me down." ”
The voice......
Xue'er and Princess Ling Min Susu have also dealt with each other, and they still have some impressions of each other's voices.
But before she could think about it, an umbrella poked out of the half-crooked carriage, and then a woman came out with a hunched body......
