Chapter 147
This time when going out, Bei Qiao left Huihui at home to watch the house and told it to call out loudly if it found anything unusual. The task of pulling the cart was given to the pony Honghong. As they were not in a hurry, using only one horse to pull the cart did not delay the journey too much.
The little black dog, Dudu, panted curiously, looking around as he sat in Beiqiao's arms. As an AI guard dog, he was probably the only one of his kind to be taken outside. The sudden change in map location caused a slight anomaly in his data, but he quickly adapted and continued to grow.
"It's because the chapters I updated these days are a bit watery, and I don't dare to face the editor's eyes." Yu Qian sat on the floor of the carriage, holding the extra-large cotton pillow she sewed in her arms: Anyway, the note and manuscript have been left at the inn, the task has been completed, don't come to me for other things!
"I'm going out for something this time, and I may not be back tomorrow. Don't be impulsive and want to go back halfway."
"Oh, no!" Yu Qian waved her hand: "If I really can't stay any longer, I'll log off. There are plenty of ways." Ever since the neighbor had a quarrel with her husband, she has no energy to urge him to get married. Although it's not a good thing to say this, it's cause for celebration, hey.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Bei Qiao stood up and lifted the car curtain: "Come in a little."
"what?"
"It's too windy outside, I'll drive inside." The National Day is almost over and the weather is getting colder. Driving outside is not as sunny, but it is a bit uncomfortable to eat dirt. The curtains are covered with dust when the wind blows, and it is a bit difficult to see the road.
"Carriages are like this. It's uncomfortable whether you're driving or riding in one. That's why I don't like going out." Yu Qian leaned back in the carriage and opened the forum to chat in the group: "Qiao Qiao, did you know that guy selling umbrellas was originally going to poison us?"
"I've heard of it." I can only say that this person has a wrong idea. For safety and health reasons, players usually eat offline, and only occasionally eat online to satisfy their cravings.
"Well, our village isn't xenophobic. What could he be dissatisfied with? Not only did he harm me, he even tried to poison me... Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Bei Qiao stared straight ahead at the carriage: It's okay to listen to some gossip occasionally, but it's not okay not to look ahead. If you don't concentrate on driving, your loved ones will shed tears.
"The bandits before were actually instigated by the demon to come to our village to do evil." Yu Qian widened her eyes and quickly flipped through the chat history: "I didn't realize they were in the same group before!" She thought the bandit leader was just unlucky and was controlled.
Bei Qiao said, "Whether they are in the same group or not, the result is the same." Whether they are bandits or monsters, they are all enemies eyeing the Novice Village, and they are bosses that players need to form a team to kill. As for whether they are in the same group or not, it is really not that important.
"The point is not this. The bandit leader and the monster have their own plans. One of them controls the other bandits and prepares to use them as cannon fodder, and the other plans to abandon his men and let the monster fight with our village to a mutual destruction, and then take advantage..." Yu Qian quickly summarized the information that had just been refreshed in the group, and finally showed a speechless expression: "If they keep turning around, I'm afraid that the two of them will be able to make up eight minds." They must have been honeycomb coal in their previous life, with schemes all over their bodies!
If “then” is just this little thing, there seems to be no need to say it specifically, right?
"Then some people think that the bandit leader is a good person because he doesn't collude with the demon clan." Yu Qian finished the second half of the sentence with difficulty, and then quickly rolled her eyes: Are you sick?
Bei Qiao: "...What? Who thinks" the threshold for being a good person in someone's family is so low.
"Outrageous, right? I guess he's read too many storybooks." Yu Qian curled her lips in disgust: "I don't know who it is, but he's not from our village. Thank goodness..." Fortunately, the players from the same village as her are all clear-headed people, otherwise the experience of living in another world would be too bad.
With someone to talk to, the experience of traveling was more interesting than before. Although she disliked the bumpy ride of the carriage, when she heard the movement of other carriages, Yu Qian would still stare with a pair of lifeless eyes and stubbornly climb up the window to look out, not for anything else, but just to see if there were any interesting people or things to kill time.
"Aren't you tired? If you're really bored, you can go down and play for a while. It's still half a day's journey to Linjie City." Noticing the suspicious look of the coachman next to him, Bei Qiao Bafeng looked back calmly: It's okay to get carriage sick, but if I always sway back and forth on the window with a half-dead face, people will think I'm doing something weird!
"Ah? Can we still leave?" Yu Qian slowly widened her eyes in a daze.
"It's okay or not, just don't leave for too long. If you encounter any problems along the way, you might have to deal with them yourself."
"What's the matter?"
"For example, explain to this kind-hearted person that you are carsick, not kidnapped by me." Bei Qiao said slowly as he looked at the man who was chasing after his carriage with his lightness skills.
"Ah?" Yu Qian was very carsick and didn't react for a moment after hearing this.
While life isn't a martial arts film, there are still those who enjoy fighting for justice. Yu Qian, with a half-dead face, clung to the car window for so long. Some people chose to play it safe, but others, after weighing the pros and cons, chose to chase after her. Even if they couldn't help, they at least wanted to ask if she needed help.
"You..." The girl who was about to chase after the driver with full of enthusiasm and question him was stuck on the spot when she saw his appearance: with this appearance and temperament, it seems that he doesn't have to be a human trafficker. You can't judge a person by his appearance. What if he is really a bad guy?
"Qiao Qiao, what did you say just now?" Yu Qian climbed down from her seat and moved closer to Bei Qiao.
The girl opened her mouth blankly: "So you two really know each other..."
"What's true or false?" Yu Qian raised her head and said, "Who are you, lady?"
“Oh, heroine or something…” The girl immediately looked embarrassed.
Discovering it was all just a misunderstanding, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, apologized, and jumped out of the carriage. Bei Qiao watched her leave, then pulled out a small box from under the table, opened it, and took out some powder from it and sprinkled it on the carriage.
"Qiao Qiao, what are you doing?"
"disinfect."
"ha?"
"It's just a personal habit, so you don't plan to log off?"
"Down, down, down, of course!" Yu Qian stretched vigorously. "Let me find a comfortable position." It's not her fault for staying at home; traveling in this alien world is simply too tiring. Going on a long journey can be almost life-threatening. So, Bei Qiao is truly a hero, capable of driving himself on such a long journey!
Bei Qiao: I can’t say I’m a warrior, I just pay attention to strengthening my exercise, and the rest is just patience and habit.
Most players might still worry about whether the offline environment is safe, but Yu Qian, who was almost driven crazy by the jolting of the carriage, had no time to think about such things. Besides, to her, Bei Qiao was a very trustworthy person. This was her belief when she first met Bei Qiao.
Yu Qian: It’s just that Qiao Qiao is too cautious. It’s really not easy to become her friend.
After logging off, Yu Qian climbed out of the holographic cabin, poured herself a glass of water, and went to the balcony to bask in the sun. The weather was particularly good today, with a clear and cloudless sky. It would be a shame not to bask in the sun on such a nice day.
"Fortunately, my bedroom is on the sunny side, otherwise I would have to carry the quilt to the balcony to bask in the sun." Putting the cup of warm water aside, Bei Qiao stretched his arms comfortably: I have been drinking water boiled with Polygonatum for half a month, and I don’t know when I can see the effect of whitening and removing spots.
Although she felt exhausted from the carriage ride, Yu Qian didn't want to leave Bei Qiao alone for too long. After resting for a while, she returned to the holographic cabin and returned to the other world.
Bei Qiao, who had already taken time to log off and have lunch, heard Yu Qian get up and quickly glanced to the side: "It's time to rest now."
"Well, it's not too late, is it?" What Yu Qian actually wanted to ask was: During the time I was lying in the carriage like a puppet, nothing happened on the road, right?
"We haven't arrived yet, so it's not too late." Bei Qiao was a little uncomfortable with the sudden long-distance drive after resting in the village for a few days: "On the way, we only encountered three bandits, a thief, several convoys occupying the road, and a couple quarreling on the roof of a car." He had seen many other situations on the road, but this was the first time Bei Qiao encountered the last one.
"Why are they arguing on the roof? Isn't it because the front compartment is too narrow and can't accommodate two people?" Yu Qian rubbed her numb limbs and stretched out her hand to gesture towards the front compartment.
"I don't know." The content of the quarrel between the two was meaningless, and Bei Qiao didn't pay attention. She was just curious about what kind of kung fu the two were practicing. When the carriage turned at high speed, the two were not thrown out, as if their feet were rooted to the roof of the carriage.
"I suddenly feel like I've missed a lot... Hey, didn't I say this before?" Yu Qian touched her chin: "Forget it, let me collect some manuscripts first. The quarrel on the roof can be used, but it needs to be slightly modified." If you don't have enough inspiration, then just grab some plots from daily life.
The autumn sunset came earlier than before. In the afternoon, when the sky was covered with sunset glow, Bei Qiao arrived at Linjie City.
"We're finally here!" Yu Qian leaned listlessly against the car window: "If you don't arrive sooner, I'll want to jump out of the car." It's really, really boring. There's a reason why a stay-at-home girl hates going out!
"Good evening, Master Qiao!" Before Bei Qiao could answer, a man suddenly appeared from the side of the road. While greeting Bei Qiao, he also looked Yu Qian up and down with a very critical look. His expression was a little mean, as if he wanted to complain but was holding it back.
Yu Qian: Why does this guy look at people in such a disgusting way?
