Chapter 12 Companions
The noble lady nodded and said, "It's nothing, it's pitiful to see you walking alone in this deserted place, so I'll take you with me by the way, hey, by the way, I heard Jin Yun say that you are an orphan?"
Chen Lin nodded and said, "Yes, I was sold to the Chen family as a handyman since I was a child, and I only found a chance to escape in the past few days,"
"Is the Chen family the Chen family of Qingyang City?", the lady asked.
As soon as Chen Lin heard this, he immediately felt bad, "Does this woman have anything to do with the Chen family?"
The noble lady nodded and said, "The Chen family is quite famous around here, and I also know some of it", looking at Chen Lin's nervous expression, the noble lady smiled again: "Don't worry, we are not familiar with the Chen family, and we will not hand you over to them." ”
Chen Lin relieved himself at this time, leaned against the door with peace of mind, and glanced at the girl at the window from time to time. The bright beautiful eyes, fair skin, smooth hair, and beautiful face were all full of fairy energy every time they moved, which made Chen Lin so intoxicated that he almost drooled.
Although Chen Lin was quite "appreciative" of the girl, the girl didn't seem to be interested in Chen Lin, since Chen Lin got into the car, and talked with the lady for so long, the girl never looked at him, just leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Ahem", at this moment, the lady next to him suddenly coughed twice, Chen Lin came back to his senses, it turned out that when he peeked at the girl just now, he unconsciously saw it! This scene must have been seen by the noblewoman, so she coughed twice to remind herself.
Chen Lin's handsome face was suddenly hot, red like a monkey's buttocks, and now he was thinking about finding a crack to get into, and never come out to meet people again.
When the lady saw Chen Lin's appearance, she chuckled and said, "It's still far from where we're going, you can rest first, and I'll call you when we have dinner." ”
Chen Lin nodded and thanked him. Then he leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes, and did not rest, but activated the Purple Cloud Emperor Heavenly Decision to cultivate, and the qi in his body also began to absorb the aura of the outside world.
In the evening, the convoy stopped in a small wood, and now that it was dark, the night was not suitable for walking, and they needed to rest after a day's journey.
The lady said, "We will rest here for the night, and then we will continue our journey tomorrow morning, and the carriage that has been sitting for a day is boring, so let's go down and rest." ”
Chen Lin nodded again and again, opened the carriage door and jumped down, the noble lady also took the beautiful girl out of the carriage, and immediately someone took two stools and placed them under a big tree, and the two walked to the tree and sat down to rest.
The group of guards had a clear division of labor, some of them went around to check the situation and stood guard, while others were collecting firewood and preparing dinner.
Chen Lin sat down against a big tree and took a deep breath, he still felt so comfortable. It was too dull to sit in that carriage, and to face the beautiful girl, and I was so thin-skinned that I didn't dare to move, I was really uncomfortable.
The moon is shining brightly at night, and the stars are dotted, and it looks like tomorrow will be another hot day. The group of people quickly made dinner, and everyone ate it with a small bowl, but they only left Chen Lin aside, but Chen Lin was too embarrassed to ask for it, so he thought: "Forget it, if you are hungry, you can be hungry." ”
However, the noble lady noticed the situation on Chen Lin's side, and when she saw that no one sent food to Chen Lin, she frowned and said, "Jin Yun, why don't you send some food to that young man?"
Jin Yun also noticed this, and said, "Madam, I was too busy just now, so I forgot!", the lady handed Jin Yun a plate of pastries in front of her, and said, "Send this pastry to him", Jin Yun took the pastry and respectfully agreed: "Yes!"
Jin Yun walked up to Chen Lin and put down the pastry, and said, "This is for you by Madame", after speaking, he turned around and went back, Chen Lin wanted to say thank you, but looking at his dragging, he pouted and didn't bother to speak.
After dinner, Chen Lin went to fetch some water, washed the dishes and sent them back, and thanked the lady. It was not early now, and they had to hurry up tomorrow, so after a short rest after eating, the mother and daughter went back to the carriage to rest.
Chen Lin still cultivated with his back against the big tree and closed his eyes, after all, everyone else had to rest at night, so he couldn't be cheeky enough to squeeze into the carriage.
midnight
There was silence all around, and there should have been the sound of cicadas and insects in the summer night, but now there was no sound except for the occasional explosion of firewood in the fire, and the moon in the sky did not know when to hide in the clouds, and the dark night was quiet and a little scary!
"Enemy attack!"
At this moment, a slightly mournful shout pierced the night sky and woke everyone up!
All the sleeping guards were awakened by this voice, and Jin Yun shouted, "Protect Madame, Miss!" and all the guards immediately drew their swords to surround the carriage, alerting the surrounding movements.
The noble woman's voice came out of the carriage and asked, "Jin Yun, what's going on?"
Jin Yun looked around and said, "Please also ask Madame and Miss to sit firmly in the car, and I will send someone to investigate", and then he said to the person next to him: "Go and see what happened over there!"
"Yes!" the man agreed, and cautiously picked up his knife and walked towards the place where the sound had just come from. When he went around a large tree, he was shocked to find that the two brothers who had been keeping watch had died here, with a large hole in their chests and blood flowing out!
The man was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly turned around to report the situation, but before he could turn around and shout, a roar suddenly came from the jungle behind him, and a sharp arrow with a cold light shot rapidly, piercing his throat in an instant!
The man stood still, his eyes widening, a bloody hole in his throat, and blood gushing out.
As soon as Jin Yun saw this, he immediately shouted loudly: "There are thieves attacking, prepare to fight!", everyone held their breath and stared nervously at the darkness ahead, preparing for the next vicious fight!
Just as Jin Yun's words fell, dozens of deadly arrows suddenly shot out of the jungle and headed straight for the crowd!
Everyone hurriedly waved their swords to dodge, and the dense rain of arrows killed four or five people in an instant, but in time, they did not retreat a bit, but compacted together, firmly protecting the carriage behind.
Chen Lin hid behind a big tree, and at this time there were already several arrows on the tree in front of him, Chen Lin looked over there, and said secretly in his heart: "No, is it possible that there are robbers and murderers on the way? What kind of bandit senses to rob and kill the horse team escorted by the powerhouse of the earthly evil realm, isn't this sending him to death?"
