Mo Qin didn't dare to go forward, so she could only find a place to hide and wait until there was no sound ahead before going out.

Even though she was wearing a straw raincoat, her clothes still got wet, especially the hem of her skirt. Not only was it wet, but it was also covered in mud, and the light green hem of her skirt could no longer be seen in its original form.

The wet clothes stuck to her body, feeling cold, and Mo Qin thought she might catch a cold.

The fight in front didn't last long, and stopped after only a quarter of an hour.

Mo Qin squatted for a while longer, giving them time to collect the spoils.

Mo Qin continued to move forward only after there was no sound ahead.

The victorious side did not clean up the bodies. Dozens of corpses were left there carelessly, left to be washed away by the rain. The blood mixed with mud made it extremely dirty.

The bodies had obviously been searched; their clothes were torn and had signs of being torn.

Mo Qin decisively took on the responsibility of the second search.

Fortunately, she found some silver on those people. Although it was not much, it was enough for her to stop a car on the street and give her a ride.

Thank you for the gifts of nature.

The fight took place not far from the road, which was wide and stretched in both directions, seemingly without end.

This place is near the capital city. The original owner has some impression of this area, so Mo Qin still knows which way to go.

But if we really want to walk back, it will be dark by then.

Mo Qin planned to stop a car while walking.

She hopes to meet a kind person who will give her a ride, for a fee of course.

The traffic on this road was good, and Mo Qin soon waited for a carriage to pass by.

"drive!"

When the driver saw someone stopping his car, he didn't intend to stop, but just passed by.

This is not surprising.

Picking up people randomly on the street would have discouraged many people, let alone a dirty clay figure like her.

The sturdy driver seemed to be well aware of his master's temper and had no intention of slowing down to ask.

Not long after the carriage passed by, another group of horseback riders passed by. On the rainy day filled with the smell of mud, Mo Qin smelled a hint of blood.

Mo Qin couldn't help but take a few more glances, wondering if those people were the same group that had just fought in the rain.

After all, the heavy rain had not yet washed away the bloody smell on their bodies, and it was obvious that they had been stained not long ago.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Mo Qin finally succeeded in stopping a carriage after several failures.

The carriage's exterior is low-key yet exudes a sense of nobility, and the interior is spacious and luxurious.

Mo Qin took out the silver that was still warm and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. This is all the silver I have. Please don't think it's too little."

The man in the white robe and jade crown looked at the silver in Mo Qin's hand and did not take it.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his smile was gentle.

"It's no trouble for me to give the girl a ride, but she has soiled my carriage, and I'm afraid this little silver isn't enough."

He looked at Mo Qin without any frivolous expression.

"I see you're well-dressed, young lady. I don't know why you're here all alone, but I've helped you after all. It's not unreasonable to ask for due compensation, right?"

Mo Qin took back the silver in his hand and asked, "I wonder what reward you would like?"

The man smiled and said, "Miss, you can send enough silver when you return home, or..."

His gaze fell on Mo Qin's head and he continued, "Or you can give me the hairpin on your head as payment."

Mo Qin hesitated for two seconds, then took off a hairpin from her head and gave it to him.

Anyway, this hairpin is not a valuable item. It was just bought in an ordinary store. Once it leaves her hand, no one will know that it belongs to her.

But if they send someone to deliver the money after returning home, then both parties are revealing their identities to each other and have dealings with each other.

The man took the hairpin and felt the cool touch on his fingertips.

"So, we are even now?"

Mo Qin sat near the car door and didn't move to avoid making more dirt.

She thanked him again, "Well, thank you very much, sir."

The two of them didn't say a word after that.

In less than half an hour, Mo Qin arrived at her destination.

She did not ask the man to take her home, but chose a crossroads that was neither too far nor too near and had many roads leading to different places.

The man lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the girl's back as she walked away. He couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite vigilant."

After taking a look, he told the driver, "Let's go."

The carriage drove away and stopped in front of a restaurant.

He went straight upstairs and came to the private room, where a man dressed in black was sitting and having a meal.

Yun Rongsheng sat over and poured himself a glass of wine:

"You won't wait for me?"

The originally handsome man in white was actually inferior to the man in black.

Hearing Yun Rongsheng's words, the man in black simply said, "You're late."

"Hehe, I have a date with a beautiful lady." The man in white robe smiled and took a sip of wine, "Good wine!"

Thinking of something, the smile on his face faded slightly, "Aren't you not allowed to drink?"

The man in black glanced at him with disdain.

"So it was ordered specially for me! Brother Ye knows me well."

After eating a few bites of food and drinking a few glasses of wine, Yun Rongsheng took out a hairpin from his bosom.

"I just met a beautiful lady on the road, and this is a gift from her to me."

Jun Ye looked up at the hairpin and felt that it looked familiar. Combined with the chance encounter on the road, he immediately guessed the whole story.

Although he did not agree to let the woman ride at that time, he still had some impression of her.

But as for his appearance, I have no impression at all.

"I wonder which family she is from. If her family background is comparable, marrying her would be a good idea."
