Chapter 19: Overnight
After packing up her things, she came out again and moved all her things to the car, and after collecting them, she heard Li Bokang say: "There is boiling water in the can, you can pour some to wash it first, and the porridge in the pot is already cold, put it on the stove and eat it again." ”
She didn't say anything when he said this, but she did as he said. She called him once during the meal, but he said that he had already eaten and ate by himself. After eating, she went to change him to catch the car, and asked him to sit in the car and rest for a while.
In fact, their car is not small, and it can seat four or five people at will, but because they put a lot of things and occupy a lot of space, it seems a little narrow, and resting in it may not be as comfortable as at night. When you go to bed at night, the things inside will be taken down, and the mat and quilt will be lowered and spread out to be much more spacious, so that a person can sleep straight before.
In this way, they hurried for two more days, and finally heard that they were about to arrive in Fucheng. They've been on the road for five days now, and it may have taken a lot of time because they didn't know the road, but they did have been on the road for a long time. She still thought to herself: It's really hard to travel in ancient times.
It was getting darker that day, and the two of them were going to find a place to spend the night and then continue tomorrow, when they vaguely saw that there seemed to be a village in front of them, so they decided to go to the village to see if they could spend the night in the village. In the past few days, they have also encountered several villages, but some of the people in the villages do not want the people to be simple, and it is possible that the people are poor and bad.
Speaking of which, they had met such a village before, and they were relieved to go because the villages they had encountered before were quite good, but who knew that they would encounter such a village after they went. At that time, they were all fine when they went, and the people inside also said that they would let them stay for a night, and then leave at dawn the next day. Because of their previous situation, it seems that they are all normal, who knows that when she got up in the middle of the night, she heard a lot of people talking in the family where they were staying, so she was curious, and after listening to it twice, who knows, she heard a news about them.
There were several voices, one of whom said, "Look at their appearance, they must have a lot of money on them, and an ox cart with a cart shed." A voice added, "Yes, yes, we'll get more money when the time comes, or we'll keep them from leaving." Then the voices began to get louder and louder, and then a man's voice said, "Be quiet, I think they'll wake up." Then all of a sudden there was no sound.
At first, she was vague and didn't understand, but as she said it later, she gradually understood. quietly returned to the room, woke up Li Bokang and told him what she heard, Li Bokang was also a little shocked, but soon calmed down and the two began to discuss what to do. In the end, it was decided to see if the people were going to keep a vigil all night or if they would be blocked early tomorrow morning before deciding what to do.
The two waited for a long time, and then felt as if no one was going to sleep, so Li Bokang went out to take a look, and deliberately made some audible sounds. Then a man came out, a man, and when he saw him, he asked him, "What is this little brother doing?" Li Bokang could vaguely see by the moonlight that the person who came seemed to be holding something in his hand and carrying it behind his back. He said, "I'll just get up all night and disturb my eldest brother, I'll be fine right away, I'm sorry." Then he walked quickly to the hut, stood there for a while, and saw that the man was still there, and then came out again, nodded to the man, and went back to the house.
When he returned to his room, he said, "There is a vigil, but it seems that there is only one person." In this way, I will go out again in a while to see if he has been guarding, if it is we will knock him out and lead the ox cart away, if not we will just go secretly. She agreed, but she was still a little apprehensive, and said, "Can we knock him out?" And will it kill people? "To be honest, she was a little scared. Maybe Li Bokang also heard her fear, so he slowly said to her: "It's okay, we will succeed, and we won't be killed when we look at it." Don't worry, I'm here. ”
Then, after another half an hour, Li Bokang opened the door again and went out, this time with some noise, but it was not as loud as before. When he went out, he saw no one and heard no sound, so he turned to her and looked at her, and then went to look at the place where they had put the ox cart, which was parked in the yard, and perhaps even the ox knew that it was not peaceful tonight and did not fall asleep, and the ox cart was still set aside and had not moved.
Seeing him coming, the ox did not make a sound, just looked straight at him, and then he went and touched the hair on the cow's neck, smoothed the hair, and then carefully put the ox cart on its body. After setting it up, I looked at her who opened the door by the door, because it was quite difficult to open the door without making a sound, so it took a little more time.
Finally, the door opened. Li Bokang led the ox and walked slowly towards the door, and when he went out, the wheels pressed against the threshold and made a sound, although it was not particularly loud but louder than all their previous sounds, and then Yang Xue saw a man come out. Maybe she didn't wake up and was a little confused, the man rubbed her eyes, and she had a thought in her heart at that time: they had been discovered.
At that time, Li Bokang was pulling the ox out, so she saw it alone, and it happened that the ox cart was out when the man came out. She quickly closed the door while the man was confused, and of course lowered her voice.
It may indeed be the time to go to bed, and the man was very sleepy, and after a glance at the room where they lived, he saw that the door was still closed, and went back again, and did not look at anything else. The two of them outside the door also waited for a while, and found that the man did not follow, nor did he speak, so he slowly drove the carriage out of the village.
After leaving the village, he did not stop but continued to drive overnight, knowing that he had driven a long way before slowing down, and finally stopped after driving another distance. After stopping, I deliberately looked at the back and saw that there was no one chasing after them, and the two of them relaxed, and then found a place to rest, and then continued the next day.
Speaking of which, it happened the day after they were camping out in the wild. But even if this happens, they won't say it, they just think that all the villages are like that, and they don't dare to stay in the villages. It's just that in the future, bring more eyes and be careful in everything.
As the saying goes: you can't stop drinking water for the rest of your life just because you're choking on it, and you can't stop eating for the rest of your life just because you're choking on it. That's impossible, it's just a matter of being more careful in the future.
Besides, they had stayed in the village before, and nothing like this happened, didn't they, they still believed that it was just an accident.
