Chapter 51
Bei Qiao ignored the girl who suddenly appeared and complained about her lack of kindness, and continued driving forward, while teaching Hui Hui: "In the wilderness with no village in front and no shop behind, a very beautiful woman suddenly appeared. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a trap."
"Hmph, don't think that just because you praise me, I will...ah, stop! I just shouted for help, didn't you hear me?" Seeing that Bei Qiao had no intention of stopping the car, the girl quickly used her Qinggong skills to chase after him.
"Young lady, please stay." Bei Qiao stood up and drew his bow and arrow towards the girl: "You look like you can run and jump, you don't need anyone to save you."
"Oh, I'm okay, but the others aren't!" The girl looked at the arrows repeatedly aimed at her, her face drooping as she distanced herself: "Young man, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
"Oh, but I'm not a young hero." Bei Qiao threw the dunce cap back without changing his expression.
girl:"……"
Girl: "Can I buy your carriage with my money?"
"The carriage is fine, but the mount isn't." Bei Qiao had asked customer service on the forum last night. The carriage, as a bonus when purchasing a mount, was free to dispose of, and there was no need to feel bad if it was lost. However, the mount wasn't recommended for sale because it was an official subsidy.
"What can I do if you don't give me a mount...Okay! Then stop the car and I'll pay!" The girl rolled her eyes.
"No need, just throw the money over here and I'll give you the carriage."
Girl: “…” Damn! How could this guy be so hard to deceive!
The girl tried to trick the carriage into her hands, but Bei Qiao refused to take it. The two of them chased after her, one driving the carriage while the other using lightness skills, and they ran for several miles.
During this process, they did come across other carriages, but the people on those carriages were in a hurry and had no intention of stopping to meddle. Only the people in the carriage would lift the curtain out of boredom and watch the excitement to relieve their fatigue.
"Then, just throw the money over, right?" The girl was a little tired of chasing, so she reached into her sleeve, pretending to take out money, but actually took out a dart and threw it at Bei Qiao.
Bei Qiao leaned back slightly, raised his bow to knock the dart away, and shot an arrow with his backhand.
"Can't you just be good?" The girl pulled out a piece of red gauze from her collar and threw it towards the big tree beside the road. She pulled the red gauze and forcibly changed her direction of movement, avoiding the arrow.
"Can't you just listen to what people say?" Bei Qiao sighed, took out a small wooden box from the carriage, opened it, and used his inner strength to slap the powder inside towards the other party: "I didn't want to waste it like that." Very good, the first attempt was very successful, and the aim was very accurate.
"Damn it! You actually used poison!" The girl was caught off guard and inhaled a few mouthfuls of powder. She coughed and fell from mid-air. At the same time, another person flew out from the side of the road and caught the girl.
Bei Qiao had always known that this person was following them, but she hadn't been sure of his intentions, so she hadn't pointed it out. Now, seeing this person catch the girl, with a look on her face that said, "Why are you here just now?", she knew the two were in cahoots.
But what does it mean that these two people are holding each other and spinning in the air? This kind of plot that only appears in martial arts dramas actually happens in reality. Do they think they have too much internal energy and want to waste it for a while?
"Hey! We are all people of the world. Aren't you going too far by poisoning me?" After spinning and landing with the girl in your arms, the man saw that Bei Qiao had no intention of slowing down the car, so he immediately chased after him while holding the girl in his arms.
Bei Qiao stood sideways in the front of the car, on guard against the two people suddenly attacking, his eyes quickly passing over their eyes and hairline at the back of their heads: "It's just flour, just wash it off." His face didn't look fierce...but where did this idiot come from? He actually asked if it was too much. What if she was really a bad person? What's the difference between what he did and the prey that came to his door?
"We really need a carriage, can't you..."
"You are so good at Qinggong, is it difficult to run to the next county to rent a car? Besides, I don't think you really want a carriage. Who would use darts to buy a carriage?" Bei Qiao flicked the reins: "Gee!" I always feel tired when trying to reason with such people. Moral kidnapping is really disgusting.
"You really just want more money! Tell me, how much do you want?" The girl adjusted her position around the man's neck, biting her lip unhappily. "I was wrong about you. You're so handsome, but how could you be so mercenary?" What happened to the promise of a hero saving a beautiful woman and securing a happy marriage? There are actually heroes in this world who want money! This is outrageous! That's not what the storybook says!
Being mercenary is just a fair trade... Bei Qiao opened her mouth, but finally decided to correct another thing first: "I'm a woman, whether I'm handsome or not has nothing to do with you."
"Woo! You are actually a girl!" The girl's face fell: It's all in vain!
Bei Qiao: “…” It’s a good thing I told you in advance, otherwise it would be a trouble in the future.
Because of the girl's previous behavior of throwing darts, Bei Qiao refused to stop the car. After collecting a piece of silver from them, he used light skills to jump to the back of the carriage and unlocked the old carriage: "You don't have a mount, what's the use of the carriage?"
"Transport things! We have people pulling the cart, right where we just met... How far have we run now?" The girl suddenly felt like she had forgotten something.
Bei Qiao looked up at the sun: "About ten miles, your martial arts skills are really good." He was also very good at talking. He didn't feel thirsty at all after talking so much nonsense along the way.
"Ten miles away! I forgot where my dad was!"
Although the old carriage was small, it was not light at all. After the two bought the carriage, they hurriedly used Qing Gong to pull it back. Not only was their speed slower than before, but they also completely exhausted their internal energy by the time they got halfway. If Dad hadn't been caught up by someone carrying him, they probably wouldn't have been able to reunite with him after noon.
"Lian'er, you too, you're running away like that, you really don't take me seriously." The old man, who had been carried all the way, pulled up his sleeve helplessly, revealing the wound that had been covered with herbal medicine: "If you don't come back, the wound on my arm will heal on its own."
"I'm sorry, Dad!"
The girl Lian'er, the middle school boy Baige who pulled the cart with her, and the strong man carrying his father were all adopted daughters and sons by his father. Except for his father, all three were undocumented residents. They didn't mind it much, though. After all, not all inns required a travel permit, and they wouldn't stay in one place forever. Wandering was the main theme of their lives.
On the surface, they are people who make a living by performing acrobatics, but in reality...
"Hurry up and pack your things, Dazhuang, and load them into the carriage. We must not miss this year's Ghost Festival. Scare a few villains to death, and we can have another prosperous year." Yes, their profession is to pretend to be ghosts and rob the rich, and there is no such thing as helping the poor. With the little kindness they have left, the most they can do is to help others in times of need.
Lian'er was thinking about the makeup she would use to scare people this time. On the other hand, Bei Qiao, who had sold the carriage, changed his route and went to Wutong County halfway. He used the change to buy a set of clothes in a clothing store and a hairpin at a roadside stall.
Although he was delayed for a while by Lian'er and the others on the road, Bei Qiao still returned to the outskirts of Yuanshan Village before dark, and met Yu Qian, who was pacing back and forth with her head down, at the entrance of the village.
At the entrance of the inn, not far from the village entrance, Aunt Ding was directing people to pack up the lounge chairs. There was no wind today, so it wasn't very cool to lie outside. It would be better to stay inside.
"Hey, you're back," Aunt Ding said, waving a palm-leaf fan and greeting Bei Qiao. "Today is the Ghost Festival, and everyone is going to the food street. You should go too, or the stalls will be closing if you're late."
"Okay, Aunt Ding."
"Qiao Qiao, you're back?" Yu Qian came forward with her head down, following Bei Qiao's carriage all the way back.
Bei Qiao slowed down the car. "Well, I'm back. The storybook is in the car. I'll get it for you right away. Didn't you go to the food court?" It was almost dark, and there were a lot of mosquitoes outside, biting people fiercely. If I wasn't going to the food court at this time, what was I doing wandering around here alone? Feeding mosquitoes?
"It's too noisy over there. I want to be alone for a while. I'll go back soon..." Yu Qian sniffed and stretched her mouth to the sides.
Bei Qiao narrowed his eyes, leaned over and lifted Yu Qian up to the front of the car with one hand. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and put it on her face: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. There's no need to force yourself."
"Oh." Yu Qian silently pressed the handkerchief on her face and said nothing all the way.
Yu Qian remained silent, and Bei Qiao didn't ask either. The carriage continued its journey in silence. Since everyone had gone to the food court, the streets were practically deserted.
Just as the carriage was about to arrive at the entrance of the escort agency, a strange woman in purple came over from the door of Yu Qian's house opposite, raised her hand and greeted Yu Qian: "You are back. What happened before...are you okay?" That's great. She is very strong and did not commit suicide.
What was going on? It was about urging marriage. Bei Qiao stopped the carriage and looked over.
Yu Qian pursed her lips: "It's okay... Anyway, he's just a pervert! No matter who comes to me, I won't change my mind!"
"Is that so?" The purple-robed woman nodded thoughtfully. "I see. I do believe you, but as you can see, those who don't believe you aren't very rational."
"Ruirui, I'm not one of the irrational people you're talking about, am I? Young Master Nan is so handsome, how could he possibly take advantage of her? This is a very reasonable inference, what does it have to do with rationality?" Wen Yu, who suspected her bestie was calling her "irrational," walked over to the escort agency on the other side of the street unconvinced. "Really, when does your escort agency open? I want to send something back!"
Yu Qian glanced at Wen Yu, raised her hands silently, and gestured in the direction of Bei Qiao: Look here!
"What do you mean? This person looks very..." Seeing Bei Qiao's face, Wen Yu was stuck for a moment: What words can I use to express the amazement in my heart!
"Let me say this for you, she is much prettier than Young Master Nan!" Yu Qian raised her chin proudly.
Wen Yu: “…” No, this is someone else’s face, what are you proud of?
