Chapter 136: The Caravan Arrives
When she was about to reach the fire, she felt the warmth of the fire, and the woman moved a place and asked Liu Man'er to sit down, and Liu Man'er thanked her, and was about to sit down, when Shuai Shuai screamed again, this time, it was even more poignant than before.
Liu Man'er was startled and suddenly came to her senses.
Fire is a trivial matter, life is a major event, or don't roast it, what if these people are robbing the house? If not, I'll apologize to them tomorrow.
"I'm sorry, I'm ......" Before Liu Man'er finished speaking, she saw the woman raise her head, look at her, and said, "Girl, sit down and bake the fire, it's very warm." ”
The woman's gaze made Liu Man'er feel a little surprised, in the firelight, her eyes were pitch black, but there was no firelight.
The more Liu Man'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, all the ghost stories she told her from the front rushed to her mind, and she looked at the other people, and found that except for the merchant, there was no fire in the eyes of the rest of the people!
Liu Man'er's body also trembled, wouldn't it? Could it be that they are the legendary ghosts?
It's impossible, there are no ghosts in this world at all, but after thinking about it, isn't it equivalent to being reborn once?
It's just that she was reborn, she had a body, she was reborn and had life, but this is enough to show that nothing in this world is impossible.
Anything is possible!
Taking a few steps back, Liu Man'er rejected the woman's proposal, "Thank you, I'd better go to my carriage, my pet is afraid of people, I'm afraid it will scratch you." ”
Liu Man'er said and walked into the carriage, she thought, if she was cranky, then she would apologize to them tomorrow, and she could go with them, so that she could have a companion.
But she was still a little scared when she thought of these people appearing inexplicably in the mountains, especially since there was really no fire in their eyes, not to mention, the abnormal performance of Shuai Shuai and this horse.
Thinking of this, Liu Man'er made the charcoal fire more vigorous.
She hugged Shuai Shuai tightly and didn't dare to let go.
"Sister, come over and bake the fire."
"No thanks."
"Girl, come over and bake the fire."
"No thanks."
Liu Man'er hugged Shuai Shuai with one hand, and squeezed the firewood knife with the other, she strengthened her heart, she didn't go out to roast the fire, and, because of the charcoal fire, the carriage slowly warmed up.
Those people didn't come to call her again all night, maybe because they were too tired, and in the second half of the night, Liu Man'er fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up in the morning, she planned to find a place to make it convenient, and by the way, to see if those people were gone, if not, they could go together.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw her horses grazing by the trees, and a man sitting on the side of the road, while the others were nowhere to be seen.
This morning, Liu Man'er's eyes were also hazy, she didn't see too clearly, she thought that those people might also go to the convenience, and couldn't help but feel that she was also stupid, she was reborn once or a coward, she thought that there would be ghosts in this world?
After walking a few steps into the forest, finding a stone as a shield, and asking Shuai Shuai to help guard it, after solving it, Liu Man'er walked out of it, went to the carriage to get water and washed her hands, and she shivered with cold water.
Why are you poor and particular, can't you go to the toilet without washing your hands? I didn't get it on my hands, but I washed it, anyway, she prepared a lot of water, full of a few tin pots, and washed her face with her hands, and there was a trembling, especially the water was too cold, and the whole person was sober.
Taking out the dry food from the carriage, Liu Man'er gave Shuai Shuai a piece, and then beckoned while walking towards the side of the road: "Come, big brother, eat a piece of dry food." ”
She fell asleep last night, and she didn't do anything to herself, which means that she was too cautious.
However, no one answered her, and when she got closer, she was immediately startled.
"Ahh
I couldn't help but scream, and the dry food in my hand fell to the ground.
She saw that on the side of the road not far from her, there was a pile of white bones, and a man sitting on a stone on the side of the road, obviously frozen, and there was not a trace of ignition in front of him, but this man was clearly the merchant who shivered last night, he was wearing a fur hat, and even sat in his original position.
"Are you alright?" Liu Man'er really hoped that it was her hallucination, but when she took out the knife on her waist and touched the man's body, the man fell straight down.
"Ahh Another low cry, Liu Man'er felt that her knife could barely hold it, she, she, she was dreaming, right?
Stunned in place, Liu Man'er almost didn't dare to move, but it was the handsome man beside her, picking up the dry food she had dropped and eating it with taste.
The sound of horses' hooves kicking came this way, Liu Man'er was already wooden on the side of the road, she still couldn't believe the scene in front of her, she must have been dreaming last night, right? But how do you explain this man, this pile of bones?
When the horse came to her side and stopped, a man came down from above, he walked up to Liu Man'er and asked, "Shopkeeper Ye, are you okay?" ”
Liu Man'er turned her head and saw that it was Young Master Yan, she first looked at his eyes, and there was her own shadow in them, so she was relieved and said, "I'm fine." ”
Although she said this, her voice was inexplicably a little trembling.
"What's wrong?" Young Master Yan took two steps forward, he also saw this man, walked over and probed the man's breath, and said, "He's dead." ”
Liu Man'er's body shook again, "Dead?" When did you die? ”
"I guess it was the middle of the night last night." Young Master Yan lifted his sleeves and looked at his body, and said, "Frozen to death." ”
To be honest, looking at the knife in Liu Man'er's hand, he thought it was Liu Man'er who killed it, but there was no blood on her knife.
Liu Man'er clenched her fists and covered her mouth, inexplicably a little scared, it seems that after yesterday's group of people, he is the only one who is a person, and the rest of the people must be this pile of white bones.
"I saw a ghost last night." Liu Man'er tried to calm her voice.
"Don't be cranky." Young Master Yan took two steps forward as he spoke, walked in front of her, stretched out his hand and probed in front of Liu Man'er, seeing that she had no reaction, he shouted again with some worry: "Shopkeeper Ye?" ”
Liu Man'er was still immersed in her own world and couldn't extricate herself, Young Master Yan looked at her scared look, a little worried, took a step forward, suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged her, his fair and slender hand patted her back, and said:
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I thought that if I didn't let you follow the caravan, you would give up, who knew that you would come by yourself so stubbornly?"
Hearing that Steward Wu said that she was gone alone, he also hurriedly let the caravan set off, and he was even faster along the way, but he still didn't see her, just now he seemed to hear Liu She's voice, Young Master Yan hurriedly came over, who knew to see this scene.
He had never seen Liu Man'er so frightened, and at this moment Liu Man'er didn't think of who was in front of her, she only felt a warm embrace, a pounding heart, she hugged him tightly, and she was shocked.
"Don't be afraid, next, I'll send you to Jiezhou."
Liu Man'er didn't speak, but still clutched his clothes, for a long time, the sound of horses' hooves behind him was even more, it should be the caravan coming from behind, Liu Man'er listened to this voice, and suddenly sobered up, she pushed away Young Master Yan and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ......."
"It's fine." Young Master Yan waved his hand and said with a rare gentleness: "It's okay if you're fine." ”
The caravan behind rushed over, and Young Master Yan asked them to dispose of the bones on the road, and then Liu Man'er followed the caravan on the road.
Young Master Yan called someone to help her drive the horse, but she refused, she would rather go outside to drive the horse, at least she could see so many people, if she sat alone in the carriage, the sedan curtain was lowered, and it was black and rumbling, which was a little scary.
With the caravan accompanied, there is nothing to be afraid of next, but at night, Liu Man'er is still a little unable to sleep peacefully, every time she would rather bake the fire with the caravan people, and then sleep outside with the quilt, she does not go back to the carriage.
Anyway, Young Master Yan, she believes it, this person is a righteous gentleman, he won't do anything to himself, and he has been cooperating for a while, Liu Man'er has a lot of trust in Young Master Yan's character, and she has an inexplicable sense of trust in him, and even these people with his caravan she will feel very kind.
Sometimes we can cook together and chat.
Young Master Yan said that he was going to the capital to give gifts, and by the way, he came over with a batch of furs from the capital, Liu Man'er nodded, and said very interestingly that he would go to Daqing Mansion at that time, thank you Young Master Yan for taking him in all the way.
I'm really grateful, that thing happened that I don't know if it's true or not, Liu Man'er was very scared for a few days, but as time passed, it was okay, she felt that she must have hallucinated at night.
It should have been seeing a dead person, so she hallucinated, in fact, there was no so-called family of four at all, it was all imagined by her.
can only be explained in this way, anyway, they didn't encounter anything strange along the way, and they arrived in Daqing City smoothly.
Liu Man'er was about to part ways with them, and when she was eating at the restaurant in the evening, Liu Man'er repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Young Master Yan: "This way, thank you for your care, really, thank you very much, I will do it first." ”
She poured a bowl full and toasted everyone, and everyone saluted back, "Where is it, the shopkeeper Ye is the heroine we have seen, and one person dares to set off." ”
"Thank you anyway." Liu Man'er poured another bowl of wine, and everyone also paid tribute to her and was even more satisfied with her.
After all, this group of caravan people like such unruly and sipping strong liquor, without the slightest squeamishness of the girl's family, and they are very many.
"Come, Young Master Yan, I'll give you a drink." Liu Man'er poured a full bottle of wine and toasted to Young Master Yan, really thanking him for taking him in along the way.
