Along the way, the people along the way were simple and simple, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, although Li Yiyan was quite satisfied with this, but Ning Yunyu walked all the way, but there was no moment to loosen his brows, and there seemed to be something dissatisfied.

Li Yiyan didn't care much about it, but after a long time, he became concerned about Ning Yunyu's expression, so he couldn't help asking, "What does the queen mean by this?" ”

Ning Yunxuan was about to speak, but the curtain of the carriage happened to be lifted by the wind, and her eyes glanced out, and it happened that a carriage without a roof and wall passed by them, and a cart of women and children made Ning Yunxuan couldn't help but pay more attention.

Because there were so many people in the carriage, although there were two horses pulling the carriage, the speed was still a little slower.

The wind stopped, and the curtain was closed again, blocking Ning Yunyu's view of looking out of the window intently. So, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to open the curtain.

Li Yiyan, who was sitting next to her, saw Ning Yunxuan's movements, and raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what kind of scenery was outside the car window, he had already lost Ning Yunxuan's eyes.

Thinking like this, Li Yiyan's curiosity was even greater, so he approached Ning Yunxuan slightly, followed her line of sight, and saw that the women and children in the carriage were all pale and drowsy. They seem to have been on the road for a long time, and they haven't stopped to have a good meal.

The other party's carriage seemed to be rushing day and night, and there were too many people on it, so when the carriage passed by them and was passing by, there was a sudden click, and the left wheel of the carriage, which was close to Li Yiyan's direction, shook in an instant, and the women and children in the carriage screamed again and again.

"Stop." Seeing this, Ning Yunxuan immediately called Ji Ming to stop, "Go and ask if you need our help." ”

When Ji Ming heard this, he stopped the carriage, turned around and glanced inside at the curtain opened by Ning Yunxuan, only to see Li Yiyan bowing slightly, and then he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the broken carriage, and the whole smell got into his nose, so that he had to look at the people in the carriage.

Whether it was a woman or a child, all of them were dirty, and even their faces were covered with black dirt, as if they hadn't been washed for a long time, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

The coachman, who was looking down to check the wheels, sensed that someone was coming, and then when he looked up, he saw that he was staring at the women and children in the carriage, his heart tightened, and he quickly stood up, glaring at Li Yiyan with an unkind face: "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”

"Oh, our master asked me to come over and see if my brother needs help." When Ji Ming heard the voice, he took his eyes back from the car of women and children, and turned to look at the man in front of him.

This man was the only man in the carriage, his skin was dark, and he looked like a villager who lived by the sea all year round, because the breeze blew from his body, Ji Ming could still smell a salty salt.

Under normal circumstances, if the carriage breaks down, someone on the road says they want to come over to help, and most people greet them with a smile. But when this man heard Ji Ming say that he wanted to help him, he instantly put on a stinky face: "Don't worry about it, this is my carriage, I will repair it myself, and I don't need help from outsiders." ”

Since the other party's words have already said this, Ji Ming is not very easy to say anything, he turned around and was about to go back, but Ning Yunxuan had already lifted the curtain at this time: "This big brother, we are kind enough to help you, why do you have such an attitude towards us?" ”

"You know, in this wilderness, if you rely on your own strength, you don't know when this carriage will be repaired, and look at these people in your carriage, obviously they can't withstand the fatigue of this boat, you ......" Ning Yunyu said as he unconsciously drifted to the women and children in the carriage.

In this way, the women and children in the carriage did not look very much like the coachman's family or relatives, because almost all of the women and children in the carriage were women.

If there were only a few people, it would not attract Ning Yunxuan's attention, but on this small carriage, there were dozens of people, and dozens of people were women and children, which was a little abnormal, and a thought flashed through Ning Yunxuan's mind.

As soon as the coachman over there heard Ning Yunyu mention the people in his carriage, he was anxious, so he stiffened his neck and replied: "What do you have to do with the people in my carriage who are tired of traveling, I said that I don't need your help, I don't need it." ”

Because what the other party said was more impulsive, Ning Yunyu and the others were also very uncomfortable, although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't want to say anything more. "Ji Ming, come back, let's continue on our way."

They came along the way, which can also be regarded as a tour of the mountains and rivers, because they did not deliberately explore the people's situation, but just walked all the way to see, and if they saw anything abnormal along the way, they would stop and stay for a few more days.

As soon as Ji Ming heard that Ning Yunyu had already spoken, he didn't stop any longer, nor did he look at them more, then turned around and walked towards Li Yiyan's carriage.

"Madame, save me." Ji Ming returned to the carriage and was about to drive away, when he heard a weak voice at the tip of his ear.

Not only him, but even Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxuan in the carriage also heard it, the two of them glanced at each other, Ning Yunxuan lifted the curtain of the car window again, and looked towards the carriage, the people in the carriage were still sitting there like just now, and no one was looking at their carriage.

And there was nothing out of the ordinary with the coachman, who crouched down and was tinkering with the broken wheels.

If someone had really cried out for help, the coachman would not have found out.

"What voice can the emperor hear?" Ning Yunyu was a little skeptical that she had auditory hallucinations, but Fang Cai's voice was so real that she was a little reluctant to believe that she was really having auditory hallucinations.

Hearing this, Li Yiyan nodded affirmatively, because he also heard the voice just now: "It seems that someone is asking for help." ”

"Wechen heard it too." Ji Ming, who was outside the carriage, heard the conversation between the two of them, and couldn't help but reply.

Since the three of them heard any sounds, it meant that someone really called for help, not their auditory hallucinations, so Ning Yunyu lifted the curtain again and asked the coachman who was tinkering with the wheels: "This big brother really doesn't need our help?" ”

She was sure that the coachman must have needed their help, for the man of the carriage was sitting on it, and he alone could not fix the wheels.

Originally, the coachman who didn't want Ning Yunyu and others to help, after fiddling with himself for a while, found that he really couldn't repair the wheels by himself, so after Ning Yunxuan spoke up again, he glanced back at Ning Yunxuan and had to nod, but his tone was still unkind: "Since you are so willing to help, then come and help me." ”

"Ji Ming, go down and help." Ning Yunyu shouted at Ji Ming outside the carriage, and not long after, Ji Ming had already appeared by her window.

Taking advantage of Ji Ming's time when he was helping the other party repair the car, Ning Yunyu chatted with the coachman for a while: "This big brother, where are you going to get this carriage?" ”

"Into town." The coachman blurted out without even thinking about it, but when he said it, he hated his own mouth, and he always spoke freely.

As soon as he heard that he was going to enter the city, Ning Yunyu asked, "Why are so many people entering the city?" ”

"All the carriages came by boat from the other side of the sea to go into the city to see their husband's wife and children." This time, the coachman did not blurt out, but thought for a moment before answering.

To prove that what he had said was true, the coachman continued: "Their husbands are often away from home and do not come home to visit them, so the women take their children and go into the city to visit their husbands." ”

However, these were words of explanation for the coachman, but in Ning Yunyu's ears, they were more like covering up something.

Her eyes inadvertently met a little girl in the carriage who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, and when she looked at her, there was a kind of hope in her eyes.

This made Ning Yunyu couldn't help frowning, and she continued to ask, "Why are the faces of the people in this carriage so bad, is it possible that they are rushing day and night?" ”

Hearing Ning Yunyu's question, the coachman glanced up at the people in the carriage, and replied with a wry smile: "Maybe it's seasickness!" They had been at sea for days, and they could not withstand the turbulence of the ship. ”

Ning Yunxuan didn't doubt his words, if it was a seasick person, his face would indeed be like this, but even if he was seasick, he shouldn't be seasick in this car! Isn't that a bit too coincidental?

"If Madame doesn't believe me, you can follow this road, and then take the fork on the left, and walk for about an hour, and you will be able to see the sea." Seeing that Ning Yunyu didn't speak for a long time, the coachman thought that Ning Yunyu didn't believe his words, so he continued.

Ning Yunxuan really didn't believe his words, but what he said made Ning Yunxuan even more suspicious of him, she turned around and glanced at Li Yiyan, knowing that he had the same idea as herself, and they were all going to go to that sea area to have a look.

If they want to develop industry, the sea area is indispensable, because here can first develop the transportation industry, and it will also facilitate some business exchanges with other countries in the future.

"Back to my lord, madam, the carriage is repaired." Ji Ming's voice pulled Ning Yunxuan's thoughts back, she came back to her senses and glanced at the women and children in the carriage again, only to see that they were still drowsy when they had just met, so she didn't think much about it.

Because he thought that there was a sea ahead, then he could develop the transportation industry, so Ning Yunxuan, who was bent on this, forgot Fang Cai's call for help, and after letting Ji Ming return to the car, he rushed all the way to the road pointed by the coachman.

Soon after their carriage left, the coachman watched them blow away in the dust, and he was secretly relieved, he was really worried that if they asked again, he would have to show his horse's feet.

Why didn't he take a look at the yellow calendar before going out today, which caused him to go out uncomfortably today.

"You all be honest with me, if you dare to play tricks again, I'll see how I clean you up in a while." The coachman's gaze moved to the man of the carriage, and he said viciously.

It turned out that it was not that he didn't hear the voice for help, but because he was worried about making Ning Yunyu and the others suspicious, he pretended not to hear any sound, wanting them to think that he was having auditory hallucinations.

As the coachman's vicious voice fell, a dirty little girl in the corner who couldn't see her face clearly shrank into the corner, not daring to look at the coachman more.
