Chapter 135: Nightmare Horror
I didn't have much energy when I woke up the next day, but fortunately, I managed to survive the second night.
When leaving, Liu Man'er thanked the old man again and again, and gave him silver money as a thank you for taking him in last night.
The old man didn't accept it, Liu Man'er forced it to him, and when he left, he still felt a little emotional, feeling that he was a bit of a villain's belly, but the next way, it was indispensable to guard against people.
This is also what this old man told him, before leaving, he asked Liu Man'er where he was going, Liu Man'er told him to go to Jiezhou, his face changed, and told Liu Man'er that the place was very messy, and she must be more careful.
"Be careful when staying in a hotel at night, there are many black shops, that is, some post stations, and some people do everything for money." The old man's words seemed to be still in his ears, thinking of the examples he gave of being deceived, sold, and killed because he lived in a black shop, Liu Man'er couldn't help but tremble.
Yesterday was fine, and I saw a few people, but today I didn't even see a village along the way, a real barren mountain and a wild mountain.
It was so quiet along the way that some insects and birds were heard, and even Shuai Shuai was quiet, leaving her horse running, panting and making some sounds.
Fortunately, there is still the sound of carriages running, otherwise, Liu Man'er doesn't know what to do, and this environment is really a bit panicked.
Moreover, there was no sun tonight, the weather was gray, and Liu Man'er didn't know what time it was, only that she ran forward in a car along the way, eating some dry food when she was hungry, and drinking some water when she was thirsty.
The weather is cold, after drinking cold water, it is more and more cold to the bones, and the dry food is also cold and astringent, alas, where can it be compared to at home, the warm room, the warm food, it is a little sad to think about it.
Liu Man'er didn't know where she got the courage at that time, she had no problem with her brain, and she was not that kind of infatuated person, why did she learn from Meng Jiangnu and send cold clothes thousands of miles?
It must have been kicked in the head by a donkey at the time, and she was sure that she had always loved herself more than others, but now? Has she become noble? Started to love others more than yourself?
Maybe it's because when I first came to this world, I swore that I would protect him and make up for the debt I owed him in my previous life, if someone is willing to die for you, and you just go to see him, do you have to feel hard?
While comforting herself, she trembled, mainly because she didn't expect that this real condition would really be so difficult. Before she thought about it, it should be accompanied by beautiful scenery and thoughts all the way, just like the children of the rivers and lakes, staying in the store, drinking a lot, and eating a large piece of meat, as if wandering the world, as if experiencing a unique trip.
Of course, if she had been told at the beginning that the real environment was like this, she would still come, in fact, Steward Wu had told her many times that the road was not easy to walk, but because she had not experienced it before, she would not understand this feeling.
It's like the road in front of me that will never end, and I don't know when I will be able to meet people.
Fortunately, she brought Shuai Shuai, otherwise she would have really gone crazy driving a horse alone.
This ancient transportation was too underdeveloped, if in the previous life, as soon as she flew the plane, she would have arrived on the same day. But here, she still has a carriage, if others walk, how long will it take, and how difficult it must be for those who eat and sleep in the open.
Therefore, life is not easy, and marching is even more difficult.
Alas, with a sigh, the person's face appeared in front of him again, and the journey was a little more exciting, not asking for anything else, only hoping that he could arrive quickly.
After a long journey today, the horse was hungry, stopped for a while, let it graze, and then went on again, but still saw no one or the village, and remained until dark.
Liu Man'er thought that she was holding on, maybe there was someone in front of her, but her luck today was not as good as yesterday, until it was completely dark, and she couldn't see the road clearly, and she hadn't found anyone yet.
I can only sleep in the carriage, but fortunately she brought a quilt, a charcoal basin and charcoal, and it should not be cold, so she can eat the dry food when it is hot.
First light the fire in the sedan chair, and with a little firelight, unload the carriage, the horse is tired of dragging the carriage, let it rest and eat some grass.
Liu Man'er wanted to lead the horse to a tree and tie it, but suddenly the horse's front hooves raised and neighed, and Liu Man'er looked forward and saw the fire!
It seemed as if someone was cooking a fire, and she could faintly hear the sound of talking.
"Girl, do you want to come over and make a fire?" It seemed that the neighing of the horse was heard, and a woman's voice rang out.
It was a woman, Liu Man'er's vigilance was lowered a lot, but she was still afraid that she would be a robber, so she clenched her firewood knife and took two steps forward.
The appearance of a group of people became clear in front of her eyes, this was a woman with two children of five or six years old, and there was a man next to her, who should be her husband, and another man with a fur hat was roasting the fire next to her, but his body seemed to be shivering with cold:
"It's really cold."
"I'll add two more sticks of firewood." As she spoke, the woman added two more sticks of firewood.
"Hello, are you also a passing guest?" Liu Man'er asked.
"Yes, girl, it's so cold this day, come and bake the fire." The woman warmly invited.
This fire is very attractive to Liu Man'er, after all, she is alone, and she feels a little scared in the carriage, and this fire looks very vigorous, it should be very warm.
Liu Man'er smiled on her face, looking at the aunt should be a kind person, she is still with a child, it should be a family rush.
If it's a bad guy, it's impossible for someone in this wilderness to wait here for a cold day to send it to the door, it's too dedicated.
She took two more steps forward, and at this time, Shuai Shuai suddenly jumped on top of her, baring his teeth and screaming at her.
Liu Man'er felt a little strange, so she sneered: "Handsome, what's wrong?" Are you still afraid of fire? ”
I still remember that Shuai Shuai was burned by this fire when he first came to the house, but during this time, Shuai Shuai was not afraid of fire.
Shuai Shuai ignored her, still grinning with his teeth, and the horse raised his hooves and barked.
Something is wrong with both of these animals today.
Liu Man'er walked over to see what was wrong with the horse, whether it had been bitten by a snake, but when she thought about it, there were no snakes in this weather, she was too worried.
Walking over to appease the horse, Liu Man'er tied the rope to the tree, patted its body, and said, "Okay, you've worked hard all the way, you can rest here today, there is a lot of grass, it should be enough for you to eat." ”
Saying that, she was going to go forward again, but the handsome man and the horse barked again, and Liu Man'er's heart suddenly sighed, "Animals are always more sensitive than people, could it be that they are really bad people?" ”
After all, during the day, the old man of the post station did not tell her these things less, so that she should not take it lightly.
"Girl, come over and bake the fire, how cold you are alone." The aunt warmly invited again.
The two children next to her also shouted, "Sister, come over and bake the fire, this fire is warm." ”
Liu Man'er heard them call her like this, but she felt a little infiltrated inexplicably.
"No, I have a charcoal basin on my carriage." Liu Man'er refused, anyway, there is still wind on the side of the road, the carriage is sealed, the fire is baked, and when the carriage is warmed up, it must be more comfortable than outside.
The reason why she wanted to have a fire with them was that one person in this wilderness was a little scared, and a few people could talk.
By the way, I can talk to them in the sedan chair anyway, but I don't have to be afraid, and it's safer, if they move, I can react myself.
Thinking of this, Liu Man'er decided more and more not to go out, and it was good in her sedan chair.
"Sister, come over and bake the fire." Just got into the sedan chair, the voice of a little girl was getting closer and closer to her, Liu Man'er just wanted to open the curtain and refuse, at this time, the handsome man beside her jumped out, Liu Man'er saw it stretch out its claws, and was about to scratch the little girl's face.
Liu Man'er hurriedly stopped: "Handsome, don't be so rude." ”
This time, Shuai Shuai withdrew his paw and grinned at the little girl, who seemed to be frightened and ran to her mother's side.
"I'm sorry, auntie." Liu Man'er felt a little sorry, and the little girl kindly asked her to go to the fire, but her handsome scared people.
"It's okay, girl, on this cold day, I also want you to come over to roast the fire together, after all, it's not good for you to be alone in the sedan chair." Instead of blaming Liu Man'er, this aunt also took pity on Liu Man'er for being lonely.
"Thank you, Auntie, I will not be afraid if I listen to your voice." Liu Man'er said.
"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people." The aunt seemed to know Liu Man'er's thoughts, and said: "We are the people from Cangzhou in front, my man is a small official in Licheng, Cangzhou, and our family is about to go back to Fengyang County for the New Year, but we didn't see the post station on the road, so we can only sleep in the wilderness." ”
"Well, it's his waist card." As she spoke, the woman took out the man's waist card and showed it to Liu Man'er.
Hearing this, Liu Man'er's heart relaxed a little, but the old man's words during the day worked in her heart, and she cautiously asked another man, saying, "Where is this big brother?" ”
The man didn't answer Liu Man'er, and Liu Man'er obviously saw him tremble again.
The woman said, "This is a merchant from the past, who is with us on the fire, and he may have been dressed too little, and he is cold like this, and he will add some firewood." ”
As the woman spoke, her husband and children added firewood to the fire, and the fire suddenly became vigorous, looking so warm, Liu Man'er thought of the time when she and Ye Yuan were roasting the fire on the mountain, she really wanted to sit down and roast two pieces of meat on it.
"Come here, girl." The woman beckoned to Liu Man'er, who felt that the woman was very kind, smiled at her, and walked over.
