Chapter 9: Puppeteers

Yu Hu returned to the horse, and Ban Lu came over, "Boss, I also want to take the car." ”

"Shut up." Yu Hu drank lowly.

The confusion in Ban Lu's eyes was mostly repulsed.

Yu Hu said coldly: "Without the trick, even the basic vigilance is gone?" In the past, I didn't see you like to ride in a carriage. ”

Ban Lu was ordered, and the last bit of obsession was also suppressed by vigilance, and he no longer felt fragrant when he looked at the alluring treasure car.

She asked in a low voice, "Is this car weird?" ”

The twins are close together.

Yu Hu took a deep breath and said, "There is a wooden figure sitting inside, it is unknown whether it is strange or strange." ”

The three of them changed color, and Ban Lu said angrily: "I said that the merchant must be strange if he is too enthusiastic, I am afraid that he will use us as a shield, and I will not take them down." ”

Yu Hu grabbed her and reprimanded, "When will your babbling temperament change?" ”

Ban Lu was unwilling to say: "Then let them calculate us like this?" ”

Yu Hu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Of course I won't let it go like this, it's just that the lord shouted to stop when he saw the caravan earlier, I'm afraid he has some plans." Teach these mediocre people to be small, and it will be a big deal to break the plans of adults. ”

Thinking of Mi August's unpredictable methods, Ban Lu's face was still burned and felt painful, and he nodded obediently and muttered: "Then settle accounts with them when the big man's business is done." ”

After the discussion was over, in the other carriage, the merchant was also arguing with his wife.

The businessman's name is Du Yuanda, his wife Li, and there is a twelve or thirteen-year-old cardamom girl by his side, who is their daughter Du Xiaomei.

Lee's expression was restless as he returned to the carriage, and he kept chattering.

"That girl is just beginning to look like she's just starting to go, and she has never been out of the house at first glance, and she doesn't understand the dangers of this world. The child next to her is even smaller, so thin, I am afraid that it is a poor person who was saved by that little girl. ”

"Alright." Du Yuanda was irritable, and his expression and tone were completely different from the kind and enthusiastic in front of Yu Hu and the others, "It's going to be night soon, they won't go up, in case the man-eating demon car is going to eat women this time, and now the women in the team are left with you and Xiaomei, are you on or let Xiaomei go?" ”

Hearing her name, Du Xiaomei hugged Li's arm tightly, trembling in horror, "I won't go up, I don't want to be eaten, mother, I'm afraid!" ”

"Don't be afraid, not afraid." Li comforted his little daughter, and his pale face showed unbearable struggle, which gradually turned into a silent compromise.

"Hmph." Du Yuan's eyes were gloomy, and he scolded: "I didn't expect to meet the son of the Wen family, but now there is no way to do it." Let's see how lucky this Wen Gongzi is, whether this demon car is going to eat a man or a woman tonight, and if a man eats him or that child. ”

Mi Feixue has shoulder-length short hair and a thin appearance, outsiders can easily mistake her for a boy at first sight, and Du Yuanda is no exception.

"If he is eaten, we will put the blame on the gang of Si Yefu. I tried my best to stop it, and I kindly asked the doctor to treat Wen Gongzi, but it was only the people in Si Yefu who stopped it, which caused Wen Gongzi to die of illness on the way. Have you all remembered? Du Yuanda asked his wife and children.

Li asked softly, "What if the night travel envoys trouble us?" ”

Du Yuanda sneered, "It's just a bunch of lackeys who bark at night, and it is their duty to eliminate demons and defend the way." This time we suffered such a catastrophe on the official road, it was already their dereliction of duty, and when I arrived in Beiyuan City, I had to go to Fu Yin to join them, so that they could not eat and walk. ”

Du Xiaomei said: "It's still Daddy's great." ”

Du Yuanda smirked.

In the treasure car.

Silk soft pillows, sandalwood small tables.

The incense of the furnace is faint, and the smell of tea is overflowing.

The space inside is much more spacious than it looks from the outside.

Mi August leaned on a soft pillow to hold a book and watched, and Mi Feixue sat beside her and watched carefully.

The young man in brocade on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face was lying on all fours, still unconscious.

There is a puppet sitting in front of the sandalwood small table, dressed in a light green maidservant dress, with a comb of hair and sideburns, which looks like a real person from behind.

Click.

The puppet maid was making tea, and suddenly turned her head to face Mi August.

Its body position from the neck down has not changed at all, and its head is facing sideways in a position that is impossible for humans to do.

"Where are the guests coming from and where are they going?"

Quite different from the puppeteer's smiling face, it makes an eerie and harsh sound, as dry and hoarse as a sawsaw saw.

According to the experience of puppeteers, this will make the guests startled and frightened.

The puppeteer laughed even deeper.

"From hell to earth." Mi August raised her eyes and smiled politely back.

Puppeteer: "......"

It stared at Mi August, as if it wanted to break her face.

Mi August kindly asked, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?" ”

The puppeteer, who was unfavorable, had a gloomy expression, and the eyeballs in his sockets turned to the left, attacking Mi Feixue, "What about this guest?" ”

Mi Feixue didn't say a word.

Ten seconds later.

Puppeteer: "Guest? ”

Mi August said: "The baby's throat is uncomfortable and he can't speak for the time being. ”

Puppeteer: "......" didn't you say it earlier!?

The puppeteer, already furious, loses all patience with the last prey in the car.

"What about you, the last guest?"

The gloom has come out of every word.

"Guest?" The upper body of the puppeteer leaned out of the small table, and his head came to Wen Qingyu's ear, "Don't pretend to be asleep, don't say the destination, I will lead the wrong way." ”

Wen Qingyu, who was pretending to be dead, was broken by the voice in his ears, and the piercing voice tortured his ears, like a saw rubbing in his brain.

I had no choice but to open my eyes, and when I entered my eyes, I saw a mysterious puppet face, and the red bloodshot eyes in the puppet's sockets gurgled and fell from inside.

"Ahh

Caught off guard, Wen Qingyu's heart trembled, and she blurted out screaming.

The puppeteer giggled, and the eyes on the ground jumped up and down happily as if they were affected by its emotions.

Wen Qingyu suddenly felt his legs sinking, he turned his head to look, and the sight he saw made his eyes crack.

I saw that the wooden planks of the carriage under his feet turned into a swamp, and his legs sank there, and he couldn't see what was slippery and greasy in the mud underneath licking his legs, and every blow made Wen Qingyu's scalp numb and full of chicken skin.

"Help me!" At this time, Wen Qingyu didn't care about anything else, and asked Mi August and the two people in the carriage for help, "I am the descendant of the Wen family of Kering Shipping Company, and I will get ten thousand gold if I save me!" ”

Seeing that Mi August was unmoved, the young man was furious, and then his expression was pitiful, and his tone was extremely sincere and well-behaved, "I know that adults don't look down on mundane things in this world, I have spirit crystals at home, as long as adults save me, I will give them whatever adults want." If you don't believe it, you can see that the ring on my hand was originally inlaid with a spirit crystal, although it has been used, but there are still remnants of spiritual energy, and your adult is considerable. ”

Mi August's gaze fell on Wen Qingyu's fingers, who were full of hope.

"It turns out that there is still this backhand." She whispered, her eyes joyless and sad.
