She intended to 'rob' him of his appearance, but he preemptively 'robbed' her of her spiritual power. After she exploded his soul, she incurred heavenly wrath and was banished to th...
I gave an awkward laugh: "I'm afraid this flower won't do."
"What? I saved your life, and I don't want your money or your body in return, yet you can't even spare a single flower?"
"Not at all. If you really like this flower, as long as you don't separate me from it, I don't mind if you take me, the flower, and all this money with you!"
The reason for this statement is that the woman's breath was weak, and she would probably live for at most a year, or at least three to five months before passing away.
Since she saved my life, it's no problem for me to see her off in her final days.
After she passes away, this flower can be returned to its rightful owner. I have plenty of time to wait for her.
"You?" The woman looked me up and down.
He then said, "What use are you to me? Just to feed more mouths?"
"I'll be your slave, your servant, your ox, your horse, whatever you want."
I shrugged and said calmly.
"Can you drive a horse-drawn carriage?" His sudden question startled me slightly.
"Huh? It should be..."
"The men and drivers I hired have all been scared away by you. If you can drive a carriage, take these flowers and come with me..."
After saying this, the woman walked gracefully toward a carriage not far away.
I found this woman's identity rather unusual.
Not only did they believe in my dream, but they also calmly came to rescue me. They didn't ask for money, and they even had the discerning eye to recognize that this flower was no ordinary flower.
"Ranmo? You mean... is she just a mortal? Or is she a dying person who fears nothing?"
"..." Ranmo did not respond to me.
During the day, Ranmo usually meditates and cultivates in my heart and doesn't pay any attention to me, so I can only talk to myself.
I tore off a piece of cloth from the coffin board and used it to wrap up the money and flowers inside.
Just as I was about to turn and leave, Yu Jiao saw another solitary grave nearby.
Although I already know the truth about Qingyan's death.
But when I saw Qingyan's name clearly engraved on the tombstone, my heart felt as if it had been stabbed again, and I felt a sharp pain.
There's nothing to offer as a memorial to her now.
All I could do was pick up a stone from the ground and place it on her tombstone. I leaned against the tombstone, staring at Qingyan's name and smiled knowingly: "I haven't even had a chance to pay back the money I owe you for drinks. If there is an afterlife, you are allowed to come and collect your debt from me!"
Are you still coming or not?
Just as I was getting carried away, the woman inside the carriage lifted the curtain, poked her head out, and rudely urged me on.
I quickly composed myself, and after glancing at Qingyan one last time, I said softly, "Let's go..."
I slung my bundle over my shoulder and strode quickly to the carriage.
But then I suddenly found myself in a dilemma.
Because I'm not very good at driving a horse-drawn carriage, this was my first time.
Through the gap in the carriage curtain, I saw the woman in the blue dress resting her head on one hand, her eyes lowered and closed.
I thought to myself, I can't make a dying person drive the car.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump onto the edge of the carriage seat.
My body swayed, and the whole car creaked.
The woman in the car, sensing that I had gotten in, said leisurely, “If you walk along this path for a few miles, you will see a pavilion. Turn left, and then drive for another two miles, and you will see a small fenced courtyard. That is my home.”
"Alright, then you'd better hold on tight!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I picked up the whip and lashed it hard at the horse's rump.
After a loud neighing and a long, drawn-out whinny, the horse began to trot along.
I was overjoyed; suddenly I realized that driving a horse-drawn carriage wasn't so difficult after all...
So he got excited and lashed the horse's rump with the whip again, trying to make it go faster.
However, I think I used a little too much force with that whip...
With a flick of its hooves, the horse went berserk, darting aimlessly through the bushes and trees, twisting and turning in all directions.
The carriage swayed wildly from side to side, crashing into the trees as if it were about to be thrown into the air.
The beautiful woman inside the car seemed to lose her balance, swaying back and forth against the vehicle as she whispered in alarm, "Do you even know how to drive?"
If this continues, I'm afraid this woman will be dead in my hands today.
I subconsciously started pounding my chest, silently pleading with Ranmo for help: "It's all over! Ranmo, can you give me some advice? Help me! How can I get this carriage to stop obediently?"
"Stop hammering me. You might not be afraid of hammering yourself to death, but I'm afraid your hammering will cause my spiritual consciousness to dissipate..."
When Ranmo finally spoke, I was as excited as if I had heard a savior.
"Don't you know how to pull the reins?!"
“It’s being pulled!” I said.
Pull hard!
However, just as I was about to pull hard, the reins in my hand suddenly snapped!
I lost my balance and tumbled into the woman's feet inside the car!
The veil over the woman's head had been knocked off, revealing her pale and startled face.
If we let this runaway horse continue its rampage, there will be sheer cliffs ahead...
In a moment of panic, I leaped out of the carriage and clung to the horse's back, trying to grab the reins around its neck, but it was too late.
Just when I thought I was about to die today, ink suddenly drifted out from my chest.
It transformed into a black silk strip that wrapped around the horse's eyes.
When the horse suddenly went dark and could see nothing, the mother horse let out a long neigh.
Then it came to an abrupt end.
"Clang!"
The carriage canopy behind them also separated from the horse at the same time.
It landed heavily on the ground with a loud "clang!"
The woman inside the car, pale-faced, crawled out of the shed clutching her chest and lay on the ground vomiting repeatedly.
"Tsk tsk, some people shouldn't show off if they can't drive. Luckily I came out in time. Look how scared you made this beauty turn pale." Ranmo floated around me with his pitch-black body and made sarcastic remarks.
"What? You feel sorry for her? Then go help her up."
"Hurry up and help me up!" the woman shouted at me in a low voice.
I had no choice but to jump off the horse in a very obsequious manner.
"Okay..."
I helped her up from the ground, her body trembling, and she straightened her clothes.
She frowned, looking at the mess and disarray in front of her with obvious disgust.
I touched the tip of my nose, feeling quite embarrassed, and said, "I'm so sorry for making such a mess of your carriage! Why don't you sit on the horse and I'll lead it and take you home together?"
"You want this frightened horse to drag me back?" she said, her face darkening.
"How about I carry you back?" As soon as the words left my mouth, Ranmo covered her mouth and laughed gleefully in my ear.
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't even glance at me, lowered her eyes to the ground, and gracefully extended her hand towards me.
Fine... who told you to save me, but I ended up crashing your car.
I bent down, picked her up, and carried her back to the fenced courtyard she had mentioned.
