Chapter 224: Encountering a Setback on the First Day
Damn it!
Is this going to cause trouble?
Gu Xiaoxi was furious and ordered Ershun, "Drive the carriage forward. There's a small town ahead. The carriage ahead will be waiting at the entrance of the town."
"Xiaoxi, where are you going?" Mrs. Chai said worriedly.
"The carriage behind has fallen behind. I want to go and take a look." Gu Xiaoxi said, jumped off the carriage, and ran straight to Ying Si's carriage.
Mrs. Chai wanted to stick her head out to take a look, but was pulled back by her husband.
"Don't cause trouble for Xiaoxi, Ershun. Do as Xiaoxi says." Grandpa Chai instructed Ershun.
"Yes, old man!" Ershun whipped the horse-drawn carriage and it started moving quickly.
The two carriages behind saw Ershun's carriage running away, and then saw Gu Xiaoxi running back and became a little confused.
"Don't look at me, just follow the carriage and don't fall behind." Gu Xiaoxi said loudly as he passed by the two carriages behind.
After hearing Gu Xiaoxi's words, the two carriages behind followed.
Gu Xiaoxi's prediction turned out to be correct. Ying Si's carriage was deliberately stopped by the two carriages next to it. At this moment, they had surrounded Ying Si's carriage.
Grandpa Laoliu was sitting in Yingsi's carriage, which also contained food and quilts. Gu Cheng and Yingsi were driving the carriage.
"You'd better leave now, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless!" Ying Si gave them a warning.
hehe……
The people in the two carriages next to them smiled coldly. They had been following this carriage for some time, and no one had ever opened the curtain.
They speculated that even if there were not many people on the carriage, it was probably full of goods, so they stopped the last carriage.
Ying Si had no way of counting how many people were on the other side, but he had no problem fighting, and Gu Cheng could barely handle it.
It’s the old man in the carriage who needs someone to watch over him.
Just when he was worried, a figure jumped onto the carriage opposite and kicked the two drivers down.
"You dare to rob my carriage? Are you looking for death?" After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi stopped the carriage and jumped off.
The carriages behind saw the fight between the carriages in front and began to retreat one by one.
A dozen people jumped out of the other two carriages nearby. One of the men glanced at Gu Xiaoxi and said, "You bitch, you came to my door. I'll show you what I can do tonight!"
Ying Si felt extremely regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have called a few more brothers to escort him when he went to get the carriage this morning. Now things are terrible.
"Gu Cheng, you take care of the old man, and leave this place to me and the girl!" This was the only arrangement he could make.
"Okay, okay... okay..." Gu Cheng was so scared that his voice was trembling.
Although they had helped fight bandits before, there were more people at that time. Now the three of them were dealing with more than a dozen people, and he had to keep an eye on his grandfather. This was trouble.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that Ying Si's arrangement was right. With someone taking care of the old man, she could do her job with ease.
"Kill all the men and leave the woman!" shouted the leading manager.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other men rushed towards the carriage.
Ying Si jumped off the carriage and kicked several people away.
Gu Xiaoxi showed no mercy either. She snatched the sword from one of the men's waist and started chopping at him.
The manager didn't expect this woman to be so powerful, so he rolled up his sleeves and took action himself.
All the carriages behind stopped, and the two in the front stretched their necks to watch the show.
Gu Xiaoxi quickly captured their manager and put a knife to his neck.
"You want to rob us with such little ability? Tell your men to leave the silver, otherwise I will beat you all to pieces and throw you on the roadside." After she said that, she stepped on the manager's fingers.
ah……
The manager yelled in pain, then did as Gu Xiaoxi said and took out all the silver he had and put it on the ground.
Seeing this, the subordinates did not dare to resist and took out the silver they had on them.
"Those who have been given money, please stand aside. If anyone looks at me with evil intentions, don't blame me for being rude!" Gu Xiaoxi yelled.
Those who were given the silver did as they were told. Gu Xiaoxi asked Ying Si to keep the silver, and then asked Ying Si to drive one of their carriages back to the city to find some people to help.
Otherwise, given the situation, they would definitely get into trouble along the way.
Ying Si gave the silver he had received to the girl, grabbed the other party's carriage, turned the carriage around and drove back.
The drivers who were watching the fun immediately made way for them to avoid being robbed by Ying Sihui.
After waiting for Ying Si's carriage to leave, Gu Xiaoxi jumped onto Gu Cheng's carriage and drove it forward.
After chasing for a while, she arrived at the entrance of the town and saw her family's carriage.
She counted and found the number correct, then she let out a breath and moved the carriage over.
"You're back, Xiaoxi, you're back. Are you hurt?" Mrs. Chai walked up to Xiaoxi and held her hand with concern.
"Don't worry, everything is fine. Let's rest here for a while and wait for Ah Si to come back before continuing on our way." Gu Xiaoxi patted her grandmother's hand, and then asked Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang to distribute dry food to everyone to fill their stomachs.
Gu An knew what must have happened?
He went over and asked Xiaoxi.
"When we met someone looking for trouble, he gave us some money to spend. I asked Ah Si to find some help, otherwise we will never be able to get to the destination safely." Gu Xiaoxi told his uncle about his plan.
After waiting for about an hour, Ying Si came back driving the carriage.
There was a strange face sitting in the passenger seat of the carriage, and seven people were crowded in the carriage.
Seeing Ying Si coming, Gu Xiaoxi went forward to check and found out that there were eight of them. She asked Qiu Shuang to bring some dry food to fill their stomachs.
After Yingsi and his friends had filled their stomachs, she asked Yingsi to arrange his men to drive the car.
On the way here, Ying Si made an agreement with these people that they must listen to Miss Xiaoxi's orders during the escort.
In order to make it easier for Xiaoxi Girl to call everyone, he gave them another simple name.
"Girls, everyone, their names are hard to remember, so let's just call them Xiaoyi, Xiaoer, Xiaosan..."
"Wait, that's not nice!" When Gu Xiaoxi heard the name 'Xiao San', she felt a little sorry for the boy with this name.
When Ying Si saw that what Xiaoxi said was not nice, he scratched his head and couldn't think of a more appropriate word for a while.
"Call them Freshman, Sophomore, Junior... Let's keep calling them that." Gu Xiaoxi also knew that eight strangers had suddenly arrived and their names were indeed difficult to remember, so she changed "Xiao" to "Da".
"Then do as the girl says." Ying Si felt that it was just a matter of address and it didn't matter how big or small it was.
Thus, the name was decided.
After a short rest, they started on their journey.
With one more carriage, everyone felt a lot more comfortable sitting there.
With these people's escort, Gu Xiaoxi felt much more at ease. She felt that she had overestimated herself before and had never expected the situation to be so bad. Such a thing happened in broad daylight on the first day.
"Xiaoxi, who are these people? How much do they charge?" Gu He saw that they should be martial artists, so he called Gu Xiaoxi to the side and asked in a low voice.
yes!
Gu Xiaoxi slapped her head. She forgot to ask Ying Si and the others how to pay them.
We can't let them take risks and not get paid. This is really unacceptable.
