Chapter 53: Departure to the capital
The green path, the sound of horses' hooves does not stop, and the carriage sways slightly.
The person who drove the car was a middle-aged and somewhat wealthy coachman, but as for why the Great God of Huaiyuan suddenly wanted to hire a coachman, it is unknown, but it is clear that the Great God has his own set.
And the carriage was bustling with activity.
"Hey, hey, hey, you eat less, you see how fat you get. β
Mallow pulled Bai Qiu's face and rolled her eyes at her with a look of disgust, but Mallow herself looked at the delicate and delicious pastry and swallowed her saliva.
"Little master, it's so delicious! Why didn't you tell me earlier! This hibiscus cake is so delicious!" Bai Qiu grinned, holding his hands on his fat face, and the corners of his mouth were still flowing with an inexplicable haz.
"Gross... Please don't let me see the hibiscus cake..."Yuan Lin on the side propped his head, suppressed the urge to regurgitate, and crawled directly on the window with one head, desperately breathing in the fresh air.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know to eat, Huai Yuan, you talk about her!" Mallow was full of grievances, and kept pulling Huai Yuan, who closed his eyes and recuperated beside him, as if he didn't want to participate in this struggle.
"I said, little mallow mallow so much, why did you just let me pack up and take away so much in the 'Dusty Pavilion'? I remember someone said they wouldn't take another bite, isn't that just for the white balls to taste it. β
Huai Yuan opened his beautiful eyes, smiled, and reached out to scrape the tip of Mallow's nose.
"Ahem... I, I am... Forget it, I'm going to rest, don't bother me. Mallow had a pink face, and was pierced by Huaiyuan's words, and was a little indignant, so she quietly moved, clinging to the wall of the carriage, burying her head and muttering quietly: "That white ball shouldn't eat so much, can't you have some leftovers... Hmph~"
"Eh, it's really delicious!" Green Egg happily stared at the white ball and seconded, not noticing the "complaining" eyes of the mallows, but now he didn't have any eyesight.
"Yes, let's eat it, anyway, the little master said that he would never eat a bite again~" Bai Qiule smiled, the corners of his mouth full of pastry crumbs.
"Yuan Lin, don't you want to eat it?" the green egg smiled weirdly, and deliberately held a piece to Yuan Lin's mouth.
"Gross, you stay away, stay away!" Yuan Lin hatefully pushed away the green egg, turned his head and didn't look at it, he only felt that this hibiscus cake was afraid that it would be the shadow of his life.
"Don't eat... No... Hmm!" the mallow was still twisting her hair hanging to the side, babbling about it.
But suddenly, I saw that mallow was stuffed with a piece of pastry, her cheeks were full, and she didn't dare to swallow it and didn't want to spit it out, so it made people laugh, her apricot eyes widened, she looked at Huai Yuan with a shocked face, and blinked her eyes again, wanting to ask why.
"Come, eat, as if I forced you to eat. Huai Yuan patted the remaining pastry crumbs on his hand, and couldn't help laughing, his face overflowing with all kinds of tenderness.
"Hmm..." Malallow rolled her eyes, nodded, and began to chew, her face instantly full of happiness.
"It smells so good... Ahem, wait, you forced me to eat it. Mallow waved his hand and looked at Huai Yuandao.
"Yes, yes, you love sweets. Huai Yuan smiled helplessly, sat down close to the mallow again, and lowered his shoulders and prepared to close his eyes again.
"Why are you so close to me, it's so hot!" Mallow didn't know whether she was ashamed or shy, her face was crimson, so she had to fan it with her hands, constantly fanning the wind around, thinking that it would relieve the throbbing in her heart.
"I rejoice. The great god said quietly.
β...β
"Green egg, what should I do, I want to vomit too, but it's not because of this pastry..."Bai Qiu squinted at the two people who were a little tired, pouting and saying slowly.
"Stop !!," Yuan Lin shouted.
The birds in the forest were scared out of the woods.
"Phewβ" The carriage stopped.
The coachman's face was full of doubts, and he grabbed the reins and couldn't help asking: "Master, it's only a short way away from the capital!"
"What are you going to do?" Huai Yuan's tone was a little impatient.
"What, Yuan Lin?" Mallow was puzzled.
Listening to the two of them speak in unison, Yuan Lin felt even more bored, waved his fist, and said: "People have three urgencies, I want to get off!
"Oh~ Then hurry up, pay attention. Mallow nodded thoughtfully.
"Half an hour, half an hour and we'll set off, Coach Liu. Huai Yuan said.
Through the curtain on the carriage, the coachman Liu outside responded loudly: "Okay, then I'll drink some water and rest." β
Mallow pinched a handful of sweat for Yuan Lin: I didn't expect the great god to be so black-bellied.
Yuan Lin lifted the curtain and jumped down.
"Eh, Yuan Lin, be careful. Green Egg kindly reminded him.
"Got it!" Yuan Lin responded angrily.
Yuan Lin took the dog's tail grass on the ground in the corner of his mouth, and strode towards the forest, seeing that it was far away from the carriage, he found a big tree nearby and squatted down.
But the belt of his trousers had not yet been untied, and suddenly a piercing "for help" scream came, and Yuan Lin was so frightened that he immediately stood up and looked.
Not far away, in the shade of a tree, four or five men dressed as officers and soldiers dragged a young peasant woman fiercely, and the peasant woman was crying miserably.
"Help, help, is there anyone!" the peasant woman's voice became more and more desperate.
Yuan Lin snorted, spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and looked around to see if there was a "weapon" that could be used, he still remembered that before getting into the carriage, the green egg also taught him a few tricks, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon, so he grabbed a thick branch and pinched it tightly.
"Stop! What are you doing!"
"Where did we come from, hairy boy! We are acting on orders! We don't want our heads?!" the officers and soldiers paused, and showed the long knives at their waists.
"Hero, help me... In broad daylight, rob the people's daughters!" But the peasant woman cried and lay on the ground, her eyes shining, as if Yuan Lin would be able to save her from fire and water.
"I only saw you bullying a weak woman!" Yuan Lin was full of justice and waved the thick branch in his hand.
"I think you're just looking for a fight!" The officers and men with fat on their faces were very impatient.
Yuan Lin frowned and greeted him without fear.
....
And inside the carriage on the other side.
"Huai Yuan, did you hear any voice, how did I hear someone calling for help?" said Malque, looking at the calm and relaxed Huai Yuan, a little nervous.
"Half an hour has passed, and the boy hasn't come back yet. Huai Yuan took a sip of tea and was not in a hurry.
"Then let's go check it out. The green egg nodded, helping to speak.
"Yes, Baiqiu also heard the woman's cry for help. White Ball finally put down the pastry in his hand.
"Then let's get out of the car and have a look. Mallow opened the curtain on the door of the carriage first, stood aside and smiled politely at the coachman, turned to look at the carriage, raised her hand to cover some dazzling sunlight, this daylight, she was still a little uncomfortable.
"Hmm. Huai Yuan responded.
"Eh, a few masters, what about us?" Coach Liu was confused.
"Wait for us to come back. Huai Yuan pulled the mallow, and said lightly without looking back.
"I hear a voice this way, go this way. β
The white ball pointed in the direction, and they walked towards the forest that Yuan Lin had just entered.
