Chapter 675: It's okay to take her
Bai Wutong did not hide the true feelings in his heart, and his tone was full of irritability.
"I just think that Master, he is already in pain like he is now, and if he can scream and scold, it may be better for him." Always giving the master acupoints is not only bad for the master's health, making him unable to speak all the time, unable to output the unhappiness in his heart, but also harmful to his condition.
Let him scold, his heart is happy, but it hurts these people around him. Just as he let him go and let him go around killing people, he must be in a good mood, but others will lose their lives because of it. Bai Wutong laughed coldly, his words mocking.
"This ...... How can the two be compared? Brother Bai, you are really biased when you talk like this. "Putting up with Master's scolding and conniving at Master's murder cannot be compared at all, Bai Wutong put the two together and accused him of not distinguishing between interests and harms, which is really wrong.
Qingcheng wanted to reason with Bai Wutong, but Wuyan was sandwiched between the two, and when he noticed that the situation was not good, he hurriedly played a round: "Forget it, it's all a trivial matter, don't quarrel over trivial matters." What's more, the time to feed my father medicine has also arrived, Brother Qingcheng, can you hold the lamp for me? ”
Originally, there was a kerosene lamp built into the carriage, but after Gu Zhenhai woke up, he was kicked over, and he didn't light it again for fear of causing a fire. But now it's time to feed the medicine, and you can't see it at all without the lamp.
Wuyan finally persuaded the two of them for this reason. Qingcheng did so without saying a word, and Bai Wutong walked out of the carriage with his sleeves and sat outside the carriage, silent.
Without Gu Wanwan's presence, the atmosphere was really stiff. There seems to be a fire in everyone's hearts that is trying to suppress the momentum. She regretted once again that she didn't leave Gu Wanwan. Without Gu Wanwan by their side, the few of them seemed to have no backbone, and a little thing could also arouse anger.
Ay! Princess, where are you at the moment?
There was a sudden knock on the door, which made Yan Wushuang, who had just fallen asleep, feel very annoyed.
"Which bastard thing? Do you want to disturb the king so that he cannot sleep in peace? Yan Wushuang roared angrily.
"Back to the prince, my subordinates have something important to report." Outside the door, Guo Cheng replied stubbornly.
He knew that the prince had only fallen asleep not long after, but if he didn't report the matter, the prince would know that he would not be able to spare him.
"Come in!" There was a cold voice in the house, Guo Cheng immediately pushed the door in, took a few steps forward, and knelt down.
"Lord Wang, Princess Wanwan and her party have been out of the city overnight."
"What?" Yan Wushuang's eyes widened, and the remaining bit of sleepiness disappeared at this moment.
"That woman, she didn't sleep in the middle of the night, what did she want to toss?" Yan Wushuang jumped out of bed, didn't wear shoes, and paced around the room barefoot.
Seeing the appearance of the prince, Guo Cheng was secretly taken aback in his heart, and understood that it was all for Gu Wanwan, so he quickly answered.
"I should be in a hurry to go to the next town to buy medicine for Gu Zhenhai!"
"To the next town? Did she know how long it would take for them to get to the next town? Don't you have two days and two nights? If he didn't know, he wouldn't have ordered someone to buy the medicinal herbs in the entire Xianghe Town, so that she would have no other way to return to him.
But I didn't expect this woman to be so stubborn, and she would rather rush overnight than say a word of admitting her mistake. But she really thought that if she traveled overnight, she would be able to go to the next town quickly and supply Gu Zhenhai's medicine?
She is really a brainless woman, and she won't ask someone before she goes. Yan Wushuang was still scolding in his heart, but Guo Cheng's voice came from his ears.
"Xu knows this, so Princess Wanwan will set off in advance, as early as after leaving the Xiangyun Inn, she bought a horse on the road and rode there alone......"
"What did you say?" Before Guo Cheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yan Wushuang, followed by his collar being grabbed by Yan Wushuang, "What happened in the afternoon, you only come to report now?" ”
"Yes...... The prince was angry, and his subordinates had just received the report. In fact, when Princess Wanwan left, no one thought that she was going to the next town, and it wasn't until the rest of the people also set off overnight that their whereabouts were confirmed......" Guo Cheng secretly pinched his sweat and replied carefully.
"A bunch of trash! Don't you know what you don't know and leave it to the king to decide? Damn it! Immediately call someone to prepare the horse! In the angry scolding, Yan Wushuang had already quickly put on his clothes.
No wonder he has been sleeping for a long time, but he has never had the heart to sleep, it turns out that the woman does not stop him.
In order to declare war on him, she was really hard enough, and she dared to go to a strange place alone, she was really a woman who didn't know what to do.
"Lord Wang, wait for me-" Jiang Yuqing learned that Yan Wushuang was about to leave suddenly, so she hurriedly got up, waited for her to be dressed neatly, and chased out the door, the sound of the horses' hooves of Yan Wushuang's team had already disappeared, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"Miss Jiang, the prince said, let you go with your subordinates. It's still early, and Miss Jiang can go back to her room to continue resting. Behind him came the unhurried voice of the guard.
Jiang Yuqing turned around angrily and raised her hand to slap her.
"Every time I am in the back, who am I?"
Think she doesn't know? Why did Yan Wushuang leave in a hurry suddenly? Who else can make him so nervous but Gu Wanwan, that slut?
He went to see Gu Wanwan, but asked her to follow behind like a tail dog, did he ever care about her feelings?
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the road ahead was hidden in the ink, and some raised black shadows could be faintly seen, which were trees or tall stones.
The road under her feet was not smooth, and the horse's hooves splattered countless dust and fine gravel, some of which even broke into her eyes with the wind, and she had to squint.
She has rarely walked at night, let alone walking by a person like now, which is really unprecedented.
But she was not afraid in her heart, let alone regretted, she would use this to tell herself how brave she could be, because even so, she was not willing to give in to Yan Wushuang. When you feel strong and brave, what are the dark nights and cold winds? It's all something that can be restrained.
The only thing that made Gu Wanwan feel flustered was that in the boundless darkness, she had lost her ability to discern direction. I don't know which direction I'm going in now, and whether it's accurate or not.
I felt like a sack, letting the horses run forward.
I don't know how long it took to go back and forth like this, but at dawn, Gu Wanwan arrived at a small village.
Seeing the wisps of smoke drifting in front of him, all the sleepiness was swept away in an instant, and he waved his horsewhip and headed towards the small village.
After a while, Gu Wanwan stood still at the door of the door of the person with smoke wafting out, and after finding a place to tie the horse, she knocked on the door of the person's house.
When the door opened, a woman in her sixties came out of the room, and when she saw her, there was obvious surprise on her face: "Girl, you are ......"
"Hello, I'm passing by and want to ask you about the way." Gu Wanwan smiled at the woman and half-bowed.
Seeing that she was friendly and a single woman, the woman generously welcomed her into the house, brought her a hot soup, and served her a bowl of freshly prepared rice.
From noon yesterday to now, she really hasn't eaten a drop of water, and she has drunk a lot of northwest wind this night, looking at the bowl of steaming soup that suddenly came, Gu Wanwan only felt that the heat was smoking into her eyes, and tears were about to fall.
"Thank you, auntie." Being treated kindly by such a strange lady, she was really touched in her heart.
"It's okay, good girl, my family is poor, and I don't have anything to entertain you, that's all." A smile crept up the old lady's wrinkled face.
After eating, the old lady showed her the way, it turned out that she really went in the wrong direction, and it was at least half a day's journey from the city.
Knowing that she was in a hurry, the eldest lady poured out the grass in her own pen to feed the horses for her, and she was really grateful for being taken care of. Gu Wanwan took out two taels of silver and sent them into the hands of the eldest lady.
"Auntie, thank you for taking care of me, I have nothing to repay you, you can accept these two taels of silver!" The eldest lady's family is so bitter and cold, but she can still help people so enthusiastically, there are too few such people.
"No, no, girl, I'll give you a bowl of soup and feed your horse some grass, which is worth two taels of silver? Your gift is too expensive, I can't accept it, you can take it back! The old lady looked startled and hurriedly pushed the silver back.
"Auntie, although things are not valuable, but your help to me is priceless, my two taels of silver are just to show my heart, if you don't accept it, how can I be embarrassed to leave?" She knew that care and kindness could not be equaled, so she didn't want to use the two taels of silver to buy the things that the old lady gave her.
She just wanted to repay some care for the eldest lady, and these two taels of silver were the only thing she could do at present, if she didn't have to buy medicine for Gu Zhenhai, she could be more generous. But now that's all she can get her hands on, in fact, she is already very embarrassed in her heart, and if the eldest lady doesn't accept it, she will be even more ashamed.
"As long as you have this intention, it is enough, I can see that the girl is here in the dust, there must be something important, your money should be kept for yourself! My son has already gone up to the mountains to chop wood, he is very diligent, and the family can still cope with it. The old lady still refused with a smile, and her words were all for her sake.
It was really a blessing for her to meet such a warm-hearted lady.
"Since you have said so, then I will no longer force my aunt, I don't know if you can give me another bowl of water to drink? I'm afraid I'm thirsty on the road. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." As she spoke, the eldest lady turned around and entered the room with a smile on her face, and quickly came out with a bowl of water. But when she came out again, there would be no one outside the house?
At the end of the road, a girl was riding on a horse and waving goodbye to her.
"Alas! This girl, no matter how busy she is, she has to drink the water before leaving! The old lady read softly, and when she turned around, she saw two taels of silver on the window edge at the door of her house.
When the old lady picked up the silver and was so anxious to chase after it on the road, how could there be the figure of the girl on horseback?
What a stupid girl, she has to give her anything in return, her things are not worth this money at all!
