At this moment, the sky gradually began to brighten, and Qin Qing was no longer sleepy. Fortunately, the children beside her had slept for a long time yesterday and were not very sleepy now.
Du Cheng'er also woke up suddenly, feeling a little scared, but mostly sad and empty...
"Madam, are you awake?"
The coachman walked in from outside the dilapidated temple. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Qing's whole family standing neatly outside the temple, and there was also a somewhat distraught young girl in the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Qin Qing gave a soft "hmm," feeling fortunate that she had thrown the scholar's body in first. Because the ground was covered with grass, the bloodstains were almost invisible unless one looked closely!
The family slowly walked towards the carriage, and the coachman, without thinking too much, turned around and started pulling the carriage.
After Du Cheng'er realized that Qin Qing had no intention of helping her, she quickly ran over.
"Madam, madam, wait for me!"
As she spoke, she finally stopped beside Qin Qing, panting heavily.
"Madam, are you going to Wolong Town? Could you give me a ride? I'll definitely get off when we get there! I can pay you!"
Xiao Muyue curiously peeked out from beside Qin Qing. Perhaps because of the previous Tian Tian incident, the little girl was a bit more wary. Hearing this, she tugged at Qin Qing's sleeve and whispered somewhat unwillingly.
"Grandma! Can we not take her with us?"
Qin Qing's first reaction upon hearing this was surprise, but then she saw the worry in the little guy's eyes and instantly understood what was going on, so she smiled.
"Sweetie, there are ungrateful, cruel, and despicable people in this world, but there are also kind, honest, and trustworthy people. We can't generalize about them all, understand?"
Little Muyue didn't quite understand, but she roughly grasped what it meant, and her little head immediately drooped down.
Qin Qing looked up at Du Cheng'er, his eyes devoid of any sympathy or pity, and said in a businesslike manner.
"If you want a ride in a carriage, you shouldn't ask me, but the driver. The carriage is not my property!"
Then she picked up Xiao Muyue and put her in the carriage. Du Cheng'er was stunned for a moment. Seeing that she neither agreed nor disagreed, she looked at the coachman.
Finally, after her pleading, the coachman agreed to let her ride in the carriage for a tael of silver as rent.
Inside the carriage, Du Cheng'er was very grateful for Qin Qing's help and nervously spoke up.
"Thank you so much, Madam, for saving my life! I, Du Cheng'er, will never forget your kindness! When we reach Wolong Town, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Qing interrupted him, her tone calm and distant.
"No need!"
Upon hearing her words, Du Cheng'er's face immediately turned somewhat embarrassed, and she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Muyue, since children are generally easier to talk to.
To everyone's surprise, when Xiao Muyue saw her looking at her, she quickly shrank into Qin Qing's arms, looking like she didn't want to talk to her.
Seeing this, Du Cheng'er stiffened and sat down obediently, not even thinking of thanking them. She just felt that this whole family was crazy!
That afternoon, the carriage finally entered Wolong Town. The coachman got off to report to the post station, while Qin Qing found a place to buy things. After all, her family had been staying in the carriage the whole time but never bought any supplies, which could easily arouse suspicion.
Du Cheng'er was already fed up with the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage, so she didn't dare to linger when she arrived at her destination and hurriedly left the carriage.
Qin Qing held Xiao Muyue in his arms, showing no concern whatsoever for Du Cheng'er's departure.
"Let's find somewhere to eat. We probably won't be able to cook for ourselves for a while!"
After saying that, the family went into the restaurant, only to see someone rush out and bump into Qin Qing. Fortunately, she reacted in time and dodged, thus avoiding being used as a human cushion!
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
The person on the ground clutched their waist and cried out in pain, quickly attracting the attention of a group of people!
Qin Qing looked at him, feeling utterly speechless. She then turned and went into the restaurant, completely ignoring the man on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the man on the ground turned around and grabbed her leg, letting out a series of wailing and howling.
"Someone's been assaulted! Is there no law in broad daylight?! You hit someone and now you want to go in and eat? There's no justice!"
Qin Qing tugged at her foot, but couldn't pull it out no matter what she did. She rolled her eyes in exasperation, then lowered her head with a look of disgust.
"Did I hit you? Did I bump into you? Who saw it? Where's the evidence?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately burst into tears, showing no composure whatsoever as an adult. Qin Qing's forehead throbbed with embarrassment, and she finally couldn't help but stick out her foot!
"bump!"
With a tremendous force, the man was kicked three or four meters away, his whole body aching terribly, staring at her with disbelief in his eyes.
A crowd of onlookers had gathered around, staring at Qin Qing in astonishment. Qin Qing, however, remained unconcerned, staring at the man and speaking with a sarcastic gaze.
"Did you see that clearly? This is what real fighting is!"
That was the sentence the man heard before he lost consciousness. He, who had always been lucky, had encountered a tough opponent for the first time.
After Qin Qing's family finished their meal and bought some steamed buns, the coachman arrived in a hurry a while later! As soon as they got into the carriage, the coachman kept looking back, as if he was looking for something.
"Madam, are you alright? When I came here, I heard from others that a vicious and violent woman has arrived at this inn. You must be careful!"
Qin Qing was just about to take a nap when she heard this and turned to look at the coachman, her face full of confusion.
"Brutal violence?"
This was the first time in several days that the coachman had chatted with her casually. Seeing that she seemed a bit curious, he quickly said...
"Yes, I just finished reporting at the post station and then grabbed a bite to eat. I heard about it from a friend who just got back. As soon as I heard that this was the restaurant you guys went to, I rushed over. These days, you can't judge a book by its cover!"
Qin Qing looked somewhat uneasy upon seeing this. Recalling everything that had just happened, he wondered if what he was talking about... wasn't him?!
Seeing that they were all ready, the coachman prepared to mount his horse and took the opportunity to start a conversation.
"I heard that the vicious and violent woman was actually quite pretty, but she was incredibly ruthless. I also heard that the man broke several of his bones..."
Qin Qing was taken aback by these words. Recalling the force she had used, she realized she had perhaps used too much. The force she had used before might not have caused any problems, but now it was as if her meridians had been opened, making her incredibly strong…
Seeing that she didn't respond, the coachman stopped talking to her and drove the carriage away in a hurry!
Just a short while earlier, a few miles ahead of them, a group of men and women also left the town. They were driving a horse-drawn carriage and making jokes without any restraint.
"Hey, Lao Ma, your wife is so beautiful, are you really comfortable letting her run so far away with you?"
Upon hearing this, the man named Lao Ma quickly smiled ingratiatingly, appearing very honest and simple.
"Seventh Brother is really joking. Anyway, things are the same in the village, so why not come with us to the capital to make a living? We don't have any children yet..."
