Chapter 27 Finding a Place to Stay
The ox cart stopped for a while when it was out of sight of the chief constable.
Qiao Qiqi helped Pei's mother onto the ox cart, and the two Pei brothers followed suit.
"Dan Dian, go!"
Seeing that everyone was on the ox cart, Pei Shaoling quickly turned to the official driving the cart in front.
"yes!"
The fourth constable in front responded and drove his old yellow cart forward.
I didn’t expect that the old ox, which usually walks slowly, would move at an astonishing speed during the earthquake.
But that's not the point.
The key point is Pei Shaoling’s “dark lightning” just now.
Qiao Qiqi wanted to ask if they knew each other.
Later I thought, curiosity kills the cat. The more you know, the faster you die.
Let’s just forget it!
Boss Pei must have his own power to be able to sit in a position second only to the emperor.
It’s better to have less trouble than more. I’m planning to divorce anyway.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi leaned gently on the wooden frame of the car and dozed off.
When the chief constable led his men to a safe area, they discovered that the eldest wife of the Pei family was missing.
"What's going on? Where are they?"
The chief officer asked the other officers with a little anger.
"Boss, it seems that the fourth and eighth brothers drove away. Maybe we can reunite when they get to the front."
The second official hurriedly comforted him, "Their entire family is in the capital. I think this is just a temporary measure during the earthquake."
"Okay, let's take a look first to see if there are any marks they left behind."
The chief officer thought for a moment and nodded.
An Dian drove the ox cart for almost two hours before gradually stopping. "The people behind us probably can't catch up. What should we do next?"
Pei Shaoling looked around at everyone and said softly, "Let's find a place to rest first, and then make plans."
"yes!"
The dark electrician and dark thunder sitting in front of the frame began to search the surroundings.
"I've been here before. There's an extremely secret place."
In the darkness of night, the environment was difficult to identify, but An Dian still recognized the environment here.
"There's a cave in an inconspicuous spot on the cliff ahead. Behind the cave is an extremely secluded open space, surrounded by mountains. It's an excellent hiding place."
An Dian said to everyone in the carriage, "How about we go there and settle down first?"
"Yes, sure."
Pei Shaoling nodded slightly.
At this time, Qiao Qiqi shrugged secretly, expressing helplessness.
It seems that Boss Pei has no intention of following the escorting officials to the bitter cold place.
But, in this case, wouldn't she become a fugitive?
If she went out alone, she would definitely not dare to go to places where there were people.
It doesn’t matter, just make the best of it!
At worst, I can find a place where there is no one and live alone. Anyway, I have everything I need in my own space.
Qiao Qiqi is a relatively Buddhist person in her own world, so she doesn’t have any further thoughts.
She just wants to live well in this world.
However, all this still needs to be discussed with Boss Pei.
Otherwise, with my current strength, I would be caught by them before I could go far.
Qiao Qiqi thought as she looked at the two expressionless officers in front of her.
These two people must be Pei Shaoling's men. As for why they have no expression on their faces, it is probably because they are wearing some kind of ancient human skin mask.
I heard that this human skin mask was peeled off from a person's face while he was still alive.
So, we can imagine the fate of the two officers.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but shudder.
"Are you cold? It's cold in spring and the nights are chilly, you should wear more clothes."
Pei Shaoling's deep and pleasant voice came to my ears.
"Thank you, thank you, I'm not cold."
Qiao Qiqi shook her head and replied softly.
"It's raining. We need to hurry into the cave."
Suddenly, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
An Dian returned to the carriage and drove the old ox up the mountain through a hidden mountain path.
"An Lei, we will clean up the traces of our footsteps later."
Pei Shaoling glanced outside the car and said to An Lei who was following behind the car.
"Yes, I know!"
An Lei responded softly.
Fortunately, the mountain road that Andian found was rugged but relatively flat, and the road went around the mountain.
Moreover, the earthquake just now did not seem to have any impact on the mountain.
Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"Has anyone lived here before?"
Qiao Qiqi looked at the flat mountain path, then at the neatly dug cave and asked.
"Madam, you're right. A group of bandits once lived here. After they were captured by the government, this place became deserted."
After An Dian stopped the old ox, he walked behind the frame and spoke to everyone.
At this time, the hidden mines had disappeared, probably to deal with the traces they left.
Soon, Qiao Qiqi heard several roaring sounds.
An Lei's figure instantly reappeared in front of everyone, "I have blocked off several parts of the mountain path, making it difficult for others to come up."
Qiao Qiqi: ...
Does this mean that she can't go down either?
"Let's go, the rain is getting heavier, let's go into the cave first!"
Pei Shaoling glanced at the slightly disappointed Qiao Qiqi with his narrow peach blossom eyes and said to everyone.
"Brother, I'll carry you!"
Pei Shaoming hurried forward and carried Pei Shaoling out of the carriage, while the others carried things in the carriage.
The cave is not very big and can only accommodate one person, so the ox cart cannot enter.
"Now that we're in the cave, what should we do with the cow?"
Qiao Qiqi glanced at the old ox in front of her. It couldn't enter the cave. Was it just going to be left outside in the rain?
As for my own space, I don’t know if I can fit the old cow in it.
Just as Qiao Qiqi was thinking, she heard a voice in her ear.
"Kill it! We'll probably be here for a while, and this old cow is of no use anymore."
Pei Shaoling turned around and said, "With this beef, we can eat for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, An Lei had already stabbed into the old cow's stomach.
Oh my god!
Qiao Qiqi was stunned by An Lei's skillful and swift movements in slaughtering the cow, and could not help but take two steps back.
No way!
She spent money to buy this cow for transportation, and you just killed it. Did you get her consent?
Qiao Qiqi looked at Pei Shaoling speechlessly and couldn't bear to look at Lao Niu again.
I can only force myself not to think about it.
The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. Old Cow, remember to be reborn into a good family in your next life!
The dark electricity in front has already lit a bunch of torches, and no one knows where they came from.
Qiao Qiqi supported Pei's mother and went deeper into the cave one after the other.
After walking about 50 meters, the cave suddenly became much wider.
Then she heard the sound of dripping rain and thunder.
"Lou, uh, this was originally where the bandits stored firewood. How about we rest in this cave tonight? When daybreak comes, I and An Lei will go and clean up the house in the back?"
In the darkness, An Dian asked Pei Shaoling softly.
