Chapter 27
"Haha, little brother, you are so loud!
When you set off in a while, drive your mule cart to the middle, so that you can have someone to take care of you along the way. "

Xiao Wu, who took the silver ticket, used his position to give Ziyu a place, and the guards who accompanied him seemed to be commonplace.

"Thank you, Brother Fifth!"

Ziyu responded with a faint smile, obediently inserting the two mule carts into the middle of the convoy.

A long motorcade lined up at the gate of the city, and everyone yelled and drove away.

An hour after leaving the city, a three-way road divided the convoy into three directions, heading to Ronghe County on the left and Liangwang County on the right.

The road in the middle is the only way to go to Qingyang Mansion. Ziyu, who is sandwiched in the middle, glanced at the vehicles in front and behind, and there were about sixty vehicles.

The convoy that opened the distance began to move forward at a high speed.

At noon, the weather was windy and rainy, and the wind suddenly blew up. The mules and horses were frightened by the wind and sand.

The neighing of the livestock and the howling of the guards were all swallowed up by the strong wind, and the big raindrops crackled on the bamboo hat.

The torrential rain that had not been seen for many days was blown by gusts of rain and fog, which made it more difficult for the convoy looking for shelter to travel.

Without going to the village or back to the store, the convoy could only hide in a dense forest. The dark weather and the dense forest made everyone more careful.

"Damn, what the hell is this weather, it rains when it rains!

Looking at it like this, it will be impossible to stop for a while.

I can't make it to Tongqiu City tonight, so stay put to rest and take precautions! "Xiao Wu jumped off the carriage and said cursingly.

It was the first time I led a caravan to encounter such unlucky things, and I am afraid that the journey will be difficult.

I hope the luck is not so bad, because the master's family is already a little unhappy when Steward Wang leaves.

If something goes wrong in his hands, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.

...

I saw half of Xiaowu's guards patrolling around the stacked trucks, all of them carrying shiny things in their hands, and some of them were busy covering the cargo with linoleum.

Ziyu did not park the mule cart in the dense forest to shelter from the rain, but stopped on the side of the road in the rain, untied the linoleum cloth tied to the top of the carriage, and fixed it on the hook.

After driving for a while, Ziyu had already thought that this kind of situation would happen, and even prepared a rain cover for the mule.

Hong Feiyang put on a bamboo hat and coir raincoat to feed the two mules, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice.

"Young master, you must remember to follow me closely.

Staying overnight in the dense forest is a big taboo in walking darts. If necessary, we have to abandon the things on the mule cart and let me carry Xiao Luo later. "

"Okay, be careful yourself!"

Ziyu, who has the same idea, is also very helpless to the sudden ghost weather, it is really not as good as the sky.

Who would have thought that in March, which has not rained for a long time, there would be sudden rainstorms without warning. It stands to reason that there will be no heavy rainstorms in this season.

...

The coolness brought by the downpour made people shiver.

Seeing that there were people and vehicles all around, Ziyu had no choice but to get into the carriage, and while she was adding clothes, she flashed into the space to solve her internal emergency.

Xiao Luo turned her head to stare at the curtain of the car with her big eyes flickering, her little hands tightly grasping the curtain to prevent it from being blown by the wind.

Ziyu, who came out with additional clothes, held a small blue gown in her hand, and put it on for Xiao Luo in twos and twos.

"Xiao Luo, go ahead and pee, eat some snacks to cushion your stomach, and let Brother Hong sleep on his back, okay?"

"Where is brother going?"

Xiao Luo grabbed Ziyu's sleeve nervously, looking at her with wet eyes.

"Brother will watch over you. I'm afraid that the rain will be too heavy and the mules will be unsafe. Brother Hong will run very fast with you on his back."

"But I want my brother to carry it! I will be very good!" Xiao Luo shook her head stubbornly, grabbing Ziyu's sleeve and not letting go.

"Alas~" Ziyu sighed, patted the little guy's head and said.

"Then after you get into the basket, you should obediently close your eyes and sleep, and don't cry!"

Ziyu had no choice but to see the decreasing rain, it seemed that she could only sleep in this dense forest tonight.

"Okay, Xiao Luo, be good!"

Xiao Luo, who got permission, stuck to Ziyu's side, afraid of being left behind, and the heavy rain reminded him of the night when his mother died of illness.

There was a little fear on the small face, and he could only snuggle up to his only relative to absorb the warmth.

Because of the heavy rain, the water on the ground merged into a muddy stream, and it was impossible to raise a fire to cook. People in piles here and there could only hide in the carriages and eat dry food to satisfy their hunger.

Most of the people complained quietly about the terrible weather, and some people started to feel comfortable after a few steps.

Ziyu, who returned to the front of the car, said to Hong Feiyang who was feeding the mules.

"Brother Hong, give me the basket, Xiao Luo is a little timid!

I can only eat bread tonight, I have too many water bags here. "

Ziyu shook the water bag in her hand twice, and handed it to Hong Feiyang.

"Okay, I'll keep watch that night, you don't have to worry about it!"

Hong Feiyang knew that it was not so easy to gain the trust of his little brother, but he would do his part well.

...

Under the cover of night, the sound of snoring gradually increased amidst the sound of rain, and Ziyu, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage to sleep, frowned slightly and her nose shrugged.

She quickly took the prepared bamboo hat and linoleum cloth and put them on her body, glanced at Xiao Luo who was sleeping soundly in the back basket, and moved him into the carriage in the space.

What appeared in the back basket was just a child-like bundle. Ziyu fixed the back basket around her waist with cloth strips, opened the curtain and got out of the mule cart.

Hong Feiyang, who was guarding outside and didn't dare to close his eyes, heard the movement and said in a low voice.

"what happened?"

"coming!"

Hong Feiyang's ears were astonished by the ice-calm voice.

Under the windproof lamp, Ziyu pulled out a large knife from the bottom of the carriage and dragged it in his hand, and the patrolling guards fell into the rain one by one, snoring like thunder.

"Brother Hong, feed the water in your water bag to the guards! Pay attention to concealment!!" Ziyu said calmly.

Hong Feiyang was wondering why the people on night duty fell to the ground snoring and couldn't sleep, but the two of them were fine.

Confused Hong Feiyang did not ask the reason, believing that the little brother would not harm him.

"Shhhh..."

The sound of dense footsteps, trampling in the rain from far to near, under the light of torches, more than a dozen black-clothed masked men, wearing bamboo hats, showed their figures from the dense forest.

The sharp weapon glowed coldly under the torch, and the snoring person didn't know that life and death were only in the thoughts of others.

As Ziyu waved her hand, the two mule carts plunged into the darkness and disappeared together with the items inside.

Hong Feiyang, who was feeding the water, ruthlessly kicked the guard who hadn't had a drink yet.

He threw the water bag in his hand, pulled out the two iron rods pinned around his waist, and stood beside Ziyu.

"Young master, follow me closely for a while, let's fight out!"

Ziyu stretched out her hands to catch the falling rain, hoping that the group of guards who were recruited would be woken up by the rain soon, otherwise they could only ask for luck.
