Chapter 304: The Terrible Coachman
"Miss Nangong, are you going home?" asked Nanjian again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The other party shook his head, "My father just carried a load of lotus roots, and led me to go to Heihe Town to sell goods," Nangong Lin said, "Unexpectedly, I met an old man who was driving a carriage, he asked where we were going, and we explained the situation to him, and he said that he was also going to Heihe Town, and he was willing to give us a ride! Unexpectedly, his carriage was too crowded to fit so many people." I thought of my old father, who was old and had to walk such a hot day, so I let him sit in the carriage and I walked on my own. Unexpectedly, I never expected that just after Niutou Mountain, I met these three robbers who cut the path, fortunately, Nan Daxia appeared in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Then is Miss Nangong going to the town now?" asked Nanjian again.
Nangong Lin nodded, "Yes!" she said, "The slave family still has to go to the town to find their father and go home together." ”
"Okay then!" Nan Jian said, "It's just right in Xia, if you want to go to town, you might as well go together, and there will be a good one on the way!"
"That's great!"
So, they set off.
The sun was still shining and the trails were still hot, but they no longer felt lonely. The two talked all the way, first they talked about their hometowns, interesting things and interesting people in their hometowns, and then they talked about their future and some troubles in their hearts.
"Brother Nan, Ling Zun must be a very amazing person!" she said suddenly.
It was rare to see and look at her with a smile, "How could Miss Nangong ask that!" he said.
"Because, you are a very good person!" she said, "A tiger father has no dog son! Conversely, if a son is excellent, his father must be very great!"
Nan Jian was still smiling, he looked at the verdant mountains and forests in front of him, "Maybe!" he said, "My father is indeed a great person in my mind, and in his time, my father was also a powerful figure!"
"I'll just say it!" Nangong Lin smiled, she said proudly, "Am I very discerning, I was immediately hit by me!"
Seeing her excited look, Nan Jian smiled heartily. At that moment, he suddenly remembered Ren Siyun again, and remembered that she was also like Nangong Lin, sometimes giggling when she was excited. However, he couldn't help but think of the language of flowers, her gentleness, and her thoughtfulness. Then a touch of sorrow swept across his face—a touch of melancholy sorrow!
Seeing this, Nangong Lin thought that she had said something wrong and offended others! Suddenly, her family affection also remorseed, and she looked at him guiltily, "What's the matter, Brother Nan!" she asked, "Did I say something wrong just now?"
Seeing her uneasy look, Nan Jian smiled bitterly, "No!" he said, "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I suddenly remembered something." ”
"These things must be things that can't be told to me!"
Nanjian looked at her, still smiling, "How could it be!" he added, "Of course I can tell you!"
"Why is that?"
"Because, there is a girl who is as lovely as you!" he said, "but now she is missing!"
"So you're worried and anxious?" Nangong Lin said immediately.
Nanjian nodded, but did not speak.
They stepped up another hill and entered a mountain path lined with large trees on both sides. Here the forest is a little deeper, the birds are singing quietly, and the summer breeze blowing from the depths of the forest is unusually cool, which also makes them both feel refreshed at once. At this moment, I saw a carriage parked at the intersection in the middle of the forest, and a man wearing a straw hat and dressed in black was squatting beside him. He turned his back to the intersection so that Nan Jian and Nangong Lin couldn't see the old face.
"Hey, Brother Nan, you see there's a carriage!" Nangong Lin exclaimed excitedly.
Nan Jian knew that her feet were very painful, and it was already very difficult to follow him all the way just now. "That's good!" he said, "and we'll take a ride, shall we?"
"Master!" Nan Jian asked the man in a straw hat who was squatting next to the carriage, "Is the carriage going now?"
"Let's go!" the other man said only one word, and his voice was very low, like the sound of a burst from a crack in the ground.
"How much is the fare?"
"Five coins!" the other held out a hand.
So, Nan Jian took out five coins of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the other party. He reached out and took the money, and went to open the door of the carriage. However, the man was wearing a straw hat and never looked up at them. Because, it was inconvenient for the other party to raise his head, Nan Jian just inadvertently saw that the old coachman's face seemed to have been burned by fire, and there was a large scar, which looked very infiltrating.
Nan Jian helped Nangong Lin into the carriage and asked her to sit down on the crossbar near the back of the carriage, so that the seat she sat in was the most stable position in the carriage. Finally, Nan Jian climbed into the car and closed the door.
The carriage was activated, and the coachman waved his whip lightly, and the carriage sped up, and they also felt the cool summer breeze blowing in the woods.
"Brother Nan, are you going to look for her now?" Sitting in the carriage, Nangong Lin asked him again.
Nanjian nodded, "Yes." ”
"Hey, where will she go in such a hot weather!" Nangong Lin said leisurely, "You two are having an awkward trouble!"
Nan Jian shook his head, "No!" he said, "She never messes with me, she is always so happy and happy, and she never holds a grudge against others!"
"Then you are so happy!" Nangong Lin said, "There are not many women with this kind of heart. It seems that you occupy an important place in her mind, in this case, you should really find her quickly. ”
"And where is she gone!," she asked again with sudden concern.
"At the door of the Luanfeng Inn in Phoenix City!" Nan Jian said, "I just went upstairs to the inn for a while, and when I came down, there was no one in the hall, and they were all gone!"
"In that case, you should really look for it!"
At that moment, the carriage suddenly clicked. Suddenly, a bright steel knife pierced through the wall on the left side of the carriage. "Ahh He immediately reached out and hugged Nangong Lin's body, and then to the side, he dodged a knife that passed through the wall.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up Nangong Lin's body and jumped towards the car door, and the two of them slammed the wooden door of the carriage open. Nan Jian also jumped onto the road safely with Nangong Lin in his arms. When I looked back again, I saw that the coachman was already standing by the side of the road with a shining steel knife in his hand.
At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone on his scarred face, making his expression even more eerie and terrifying. (To be continued.) )
