Chapter 306: Grapes in a Bunch
"Right or wrong, there will be an answer soon." Xiao Jiuyue kept it a secret, and there was a meaningful look in her eyes when she looked at Luo Kui.
Luo Kui's heart skipped a beat. She swallowed hard, feeling a chill down her spine. She leaned back against the wooden planks of the carriage, feeling a little more secure. She said uncertainly, "Could it be... the story of the farmer and the snake that the young lady always tells us?"
"That shouldn't be the case. They seem like such a kind family. It's as if they took a huge risk when they reminded the young lady." Luo Kui muttered to herself. She looked at Lian Xin who was standing beside her, grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Lian Xin."
"I think your guess is very likely correct." Lianxin looked at Luokui. When the young lady was looking at the map in the carriage earlier, she saw Jinwen seemed to be ordered by the young lady to go out.
They were now heading towards Xingfeng Town, but Lianxin had not seen Jinwen return yet.
"No way." Luo Kui jumped up excitedly, completely forgetting that he was in a carriage. His head banged against the roof with a loud bang. Luo Kui covered his head and said with gritted teeth, "Others repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water, but he's so ungrateful that he repays kindness with hatred. Does he have any conscience?"
"Miss." Jin Wen's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage. Hua Qing stopped the carriage. Xiao Jiuyue opened the curtain. Jin Wen whispered a few words in her ear. Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flashed slightly and she looked up at Jin Wen: "Are you sure?"
"100% sure." Jin Wen said confidently. Xiao Jiuyue said, "Take Donggui with you."
"Yes." Jin Wen and Dong Gui quickly left the team on horseback. Instead of heading towards Xingfeng Town, they turned around and rode up the mountain.
Shang Yifan watched as the two of them disappeared into the forest in an instant, and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhou, what's going on? Why are you still going up the mountain?"
"Yifan, take out the sword." Zhou Lin reminded.
Shang Yifan immediately took out the sword from the compartment of the carriage and held it tightly in his hand. Even though he had been prepared, he was still excited at this moment.
The carriage was still swaying forward as before. Yu Ge was driving the carriage carrying cloth at the front, looking around with a wary look. Hua Qing was driving the carriage, and in it sat Xiao Jiuyue, Lianxin, and Luokui.
Jin Wu and Shang Yifan's carriages followed closely behind.
The sun sets and the sky gradually darkens. Luo Kui holds a sword and looks outside through the gap in the carriage warily. If anything goes wrong, she will rush down with the sword and fight with others!
"Luo Kui, be careful and don't hurt the young lady." Lian Xin reminded her, looking at the sword in Luo Kui's hand, fearing that she would get excited and scratch Xiao Jiuyue with the sword.
"Miss, no, don't worry." Luo Kui grinned and tried to lean the sword in his hand towards her.
"Whoa."
When Hua Qing's voice sounded, the carriage suddenly stopped. Luo Kui lost his seat and rushed towards Xiao Jiuyue with his sword. Luo Kui cleverly held the sword aside high and rushed towards Xiao Jiuyue.
Lianxin quickly used her body to block Xiao Jiuyue and threw herself on her back.
Xiao Jiuyue held Lianxin's shoulders and looked at the sword raised high in Luokui's hand. The posture made people want to laugh.
"My dear brothers, you have worked hard. Something happened to our young master's family, and he went to seek refuge with his relatives." Yu Ge saw the bandits blocking the road in front of him, pretended not to know, and lied: "My young master has suffered a lot. His parents are gone, his home is gone, and he is so poor that he can't even eat. He only has bedding to take with him."
Yu Ge wiped his eyes as he spoke and began to take out the food that had been packed from the carriage. "It's not easy for everyone. Consider this little bit of food as a gift to you all."
The leading man was completely dumbfounded when he saw Yu Ge's action. He had never seen anyone so cooperative before. In the past, when they blocked the road, the other party would either pick up weapons and attack or beg for mercy directly. No one was like Yu Ge.
The leading man weighed the food in his hand, a bag of about seven or eight pounds. He put it on the horse behind him and said with disdain, "This little food is nothing. What good is it? Hurry up and bring some silver, something valuable!"
"There's really nothing here worth a fortune." Yu Ge cried out in injustice after hearing this. He pulled open the carriage curtain, revealing some bedding and a few bags of food. He said, "Brother, you have to leave us some food. Otherwise, we'll starve to death before we even reach our destination."
Yu Ge still wanted to get closer, but the other party didn't want to pay any more attention. He pushed Yu Ge away, raised the machete in his hand, and gestured to Yu Ge: "Brothers, take away all the food."
"You can't take it. We're starving." Yu Ge shouted loudly, and tried to stop the man from walking to the carriage behind. The man pointed directly at the carriage behind and said, "Except for your young master, there are no other women?"
Yu Ge's face changed, and he quickly shook his head, trying to block the man and said, "Only my young master is sitting here, there are no female relatives."
"Get out of here." The man looked at Hua Qing, who was driving the carriage. "The people driving the carriage are all maids, so the people sitting in the carriage must be women."
"Brother Shan, who knows, there might be some pretty girls out there." A shifty-looking man with gleaming eyes ran over. He rushed forward and pounced on Hua Qing. Hua Qing kicked the man away and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, get out!"
"Ouch, you damn bitch." The man who was kicked away covered his chest and climbed up and said, "Brother Shan, this bitch knows some kung fu."
"Can anything be more powerful than my knife?" The man rushed towards Hua Qing with a machete.
In the carriage, Luo Kui was already standing at the front. If the man dared to lift the curtain, she would chop him down with a sword!
"Don't do it." Shang Yifan had come down long ago. He looked frail. Zhao Sheng and Zhou Lin looked quite skilled. Together with Jin Wu, the four of them faced more than a dozen of them, all holding machetes. Brother Shan ignored his shouting and shouted, "Brothers, go!"
Brother Shan stared at every movement of the carriage. As long as there really was a beautiful girl inside, they would have made a great contribution. Who knows, they might even get a reward!
"Looking for death." Hua Qing raised his sleeves and sprinkled chili powder directly into Shan Ge's eyes.
Hua Qing raised the whip in his hand and whipped Shan Ge hard. Shan Ge covered his eyes and didn't even have the chance to scream. The next moment, he was whipped and rolled in the air and rolled into the ditch next to him.
"Catch them, catch them all!" Shan Ge roared. When he finally washed the chili powder off his eyes with the water from the ditch and was able to open his eyes, he saw his dozen or so brothers, like grapes growing together, one in a bunch.
