small farm girl in pastoral space

Chapter 128 Detour
Mu Qiu still has some impressions of the bridge in front of him. Although it doesn't look very eye-catching, it has stood here for decades at least.The fact that the water in the river broke down the bridge proved that the turbulence of the water was not just an ordinary summer flood.Moreover, the river was about 20 meters long, and with the rising water, even Xuanying might not be able to take her there.

Sure enough, Mu Qiu didn't wait long for Xuan Ying to come back.He shook his head at Mu Qiu, expressing that he was not sure of getting through safely.Mu Qiu didn't want him to be in danger, no matter how anxious they were, they could only choose to take a detour.

After formulating a new route, Xuanying estimated the time, and estimated that it would take a day or two longer than expected.

"It can't be helped, I just hope that Tong Hao can wait until then to go!"

It rained heavily all night, beating on the roof and making noise.Mu Qiu also didn't sleep all night, and he didn't feel refreshed when he woke up the next day.After eating something in a hurry and buying some dry food just in case, they continued on their way.

Sitting in the carriage, Mu Qiu's nerves were tense all the time, but then he was too sleepy, so he dozed off unknowingly.It wasn't until Xuanying stopped the carriage that she suddenly woke up.

"It's been several hours already, you should have something to eat first!" Xuan Ying raised a corner of the curtain, and Mu Qiu vaguely saw the carriage parked on an unfamiliar mountain road.

"Come in and eat something too, and your clothes are wet in many places, so be careful of getting sick!" Mu Qiu looked at Xuanying with some worry.

"I've practiced martial arts all year round, so that's nothing." Xuanying said and got into the carriage.Of course he knew that more than half of his clothes were wet, but this was too common in the past, so he didn't take it to heart.

"It's still a long time from here to the nearest town. I'm afraid we can only spend the night in the nearest village tonight."

"It would be great if you can find a place to live. Then you have to change your clothes first. You can't just keep getting wet all the time!"

The carriage was driving through the wind and rain, and the sky was always gray. Fortunately, the two of them finally found a place to stay before dark.This is a small village with only about seven or eight families.The village is surrounded by mountains, if Xuanying hadn't observed carefully, maybe he couldn't have found this place.

After entering the village, Xuanying found a house with a larger yard, guessing that the house might have a place to live, so she went up to knock on the door.It was an old man who opened the door, he looked Xuan Ying up and down very vigilantly.It was only after Xuanying explained the purpose of his visit that he saw Mu Qiu standing behind him clearly.

"Old man, can you let us stay at your house for a night?" Girls can always subconsciously lower the vigilance of others. Although the old man didn't show much welcome, he still turned his body to let them in.

In addition to an old man, there is an old woman in this family. When she knew that Mu Qiu and Xuan Ying had been delayed by the heavy rain, so they found this place to stay, she showed great kindness.While tidying up the house for Mu Qiu and Xuan Ying, he babbled about his own situation.

It turned out that the two old people had two sons and a daughter, but the daughter did not come back for a long time after marrying far away, and the son went out to do business, and often only came back once a year or so.The youngest son is working in the town, and it will take seven or eight days to come back.This happened to be a vacant room for Mu Qiu and Xuan Ying to stay.

Mu Qiu also borrowed clothes from them for Xuan Ying to change into.Originally, Mu Qiu said to buy it with some money, but the old man was very stubborn and insisted on not wanting money.

It was late at night, and the small village fell into a deep sleep.Mu Qiu could hardly hear other sounds outside through the sound of pattering rain.Although she was already very tired, her heart kept beating non-stop, and she always had a bad feeling.
