Seeing the caravan passing, the strong man at the fork stopped the cart and waited quietly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a while, the caravan walked over, and the strong man also lifted the cart and followed, joining the sequence of Wu Ming and the others.

A small road, Wu Ming, Liu Laohan's grandson, the merchant, plus the strong man with a cart, the four combinations each occupy one side.

Wu Ming raised his eyes to look at the strong man, and found that the cart was covered with a straw mat, and at the very edge of the straw mat, a pair of embroidered shoes happened to be exposed.

"Hero, I see that you are also going to Liuzhou, what are you pushing in this car!" Liu Laohan looked at the strong man and couldn't help asking.

Hearing such an inquiry, the corners of the strong man's mouth twitched twice, and he said in a deep voice: "My sister..."

The strong man looked to be in his thirties, and his sister was probably not much older.

Liu Laohan looked at the straw mat on the cart, couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed: "It's a pity!" ”

Silent, the strong man did not speak, just pushed the cart without saying a word.

At noon, by a small stream, the caravan stopped to make a fire to cook, and Wu Ming and the others also took the opportunity to rest and recuperate.

At this time, the strong man of the cart fetched some water by the stream, lifted the straw mat covered by the snowboard cart, and wiped the corpse's face with a very gentle movement.

The places where everyone rests are not far apart.

Wu Ming raised his eyes to look at the girl's corpse and found that the girl was in her twenties, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to that of a strong man.

"Grandpa, look at this sister, is she smiling?" Xiaobao's words came from the side, causing everyone present to raise their heads in unison.

Wu Ming looked at the corners of the corpse's mouth, and saw that the corners of the female corpse's mouth were slightly upturned, and it really seemed to be smiling.

Seeing the expression of the corpse, Liu Laohan didn't say anything, picked up Xiaobao and moved it into the distance.

On the side, although the merchant who carried the burden did not move, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his face was a little unsightly.

"Humph!" Seeing that everyone was avoiding, the strong man showed an unswerving look on his face and covered the corpse with a straw mat.

After such a small episode, after resting for more than half an hour, everyone followed the caravan on the road again.

This time, because of the incident at noon, Liu Laohan and the merchant were estranged, and they both subconsciously avoided the strong man.

Wu Ming was the only one, full of curiosity in his heart, but he frequently turned his head and looked at the snowboard pushed by the strong man.

"You're not afraid?"

After seeing it many times, the strong man also noticed Wu Ming's gaze, and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just a little curious, I want to know how your sister died." Wu Ming walked side by side with the strong man, and while asking, he stretched out his hand to help the cart.

The cart walked for two or three miles, but the strong man didn't answer until he walked another two or three miles, and then he spoke: "My sister is the concubine of the medicine merchant Master Jia, and Master Jia has a group of wives and concubines, but the heirs are very difficult, and they have been out of nothing for more than 20 years. Who would have thought that my sister was just pregnant, and within half a month's effort, Master Jia's wife was also pregnant..."

The strong man didn't tell the rest of the story, but the answer was obvious.

There are many rights and wrongs among wealthy families, and the girl lying under the straw mat is obviously the loser of the harem struggle.

The mistake is that the strong man's sister is just a concubine, not even a side room lady.

Thinking with his toes, Master Jia's wife will not let the concubine give birth to the child first when she is pregnant.

"It stands to reason that your sister should be very angry when she dies like this. Why, the expression on her face is like this, a little unreasonable? Wu Ming recalled the expression on the female corpse's face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and couldn't help but ask the strong man.

Hearing this question, the strong man couldn't answer, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's too late when I go." If I hadn't stopped them, they would have burned the corpses. I managed to snatch the body out, and I didn't have time to ask more questions. ”

The strong man said vaguely, and he couldn't give any answer.

This is the sadness of the old society, and it is difficult to guarantee the rights of concubines and other identities.

In many large households, the wife beats the concubine to death, such a thing is not new, and it is useless to report to the official.

Speaking of sadness, the strong man became more and more silent, and there was no longer the nature of conversation.

The whole team became dull, and after a break in the middle of the afternoon, Liu Laohan, who was already very tired, never followed the team again.

Without Liu Laohan's grandfather and grandson, the people who should set off still have to be sent out, and no one will stop for anyone.

Needless to say, on the caravan side, there are brutes pulling the cart, and it is not a problem to walk for a day.

On Wu Ming's side, the strong man and the merchant were both young people, barely hanging behind the caravan, and they held on until the evening.

In the evening, the caravans set up camp in carts and lit numerous bonfires.

Wu Ming and the others belonged to outsiders, and the caravan's camp could not be entered.

After all, reality is different from fiction, and the more formal the caravan, the more rules it has.

Like in many novels, the protagonist encounters a caravan when he goes out, and there must be a beautiful woman in the caravan who needs to be saved, and he is kind enough to take in the protagonist, which is even less likely than winning the Mark Six lottery.

Not to mention anything else, if the caravan was really so lazy, it would have been joined by robbers a long time ago.

When Wu Ming was idle and bored in the afternoon, he wanted to get close to the caravan, but ten paces away, the guard who escorted the car held the handle of the knife.

At that time, if he insisted on approaching, it was estimated that the guard in charge of escorting would have drawn a knife, and people would not talk nonsense with you at all.

Looking at the bonfire in the distance, Wu Ming lay under the tree, eating dry steamed buns.

After all, it was the first day of the trip, and he felt quite good at this time, and there was nothing he was not used to.

On the other side, the merchant was making a bed with a tree branch, and a small fire was lit beside him, on which a small iron pot was boiling.

Looking at his simple way of resting, looking at the tired but insistent busy merchant, Wu Ming felt a little drumming in his heart.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes at night, so you'd better be like me, raise your sleeping place a little higher and light a fire." The merchant looks like I'm from the past, and his movements are skillful enough to go to the wilderness to survive.

"Since ancient times, there have been masters in the people, fortunately you don't know Master Pei!" Wu Ming also learned from the other party's example and built a small bed of branches for himself.

After the small bed made of tree branches was ready, Wu Ming looked to the side and found that the strong man was fiddling with his snowboard, and it seemed that he was going to be with his sister tonight.

Sleeping with the dead, I have to say that the strong man has a lot of courage.

Especially when the other party lies down and covers the straw mat on his body, this sense of surprise is even stronger.

Shaking his head, Wu Ming lay on the branch and looked at the starry sky overhead.

Today's starry sky is very beautiful, Wu Ming himself doesn't know how long ago it was the last time he looked at the stars so seriously.

Count the stars in the sky and fall asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Ming felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and crawled up in a daze.

At this time, the moon was thick, and the earth seemed to be dressed in a white coat, and the vision was not greatly affected.

Wu Ming subconsciously looked around, and then his eyes froze.

On the snowboard, the strong man was snoring, and the straw mat on his body was gone.

And the most important thing is that the female corpse that was supposed to be lying in the car disappeared at this time.

"Hey, where's that dead guy?"
