Chapter 109: The Out-of-Control Carriage
After two hours, everyone finally walked out to the official road, one mountain away from where they were trapped by the fire.
Everyone stopped their work for lunch, and after the meal, they sat together to rest and chat about the mountain ahead.
"Hey, will we reach the next city after we pass the mountain ahead?"
“That should be it!”
After hearing this, the village head pointed to the mountain road ahead and said, "Let's go around the biggest mountain ahead and we will reach Wutong City!"
Everyone blocked the sunlight with their hands and looked at the mountain, which seemed not very far away. That was to say, they would soon reach the next city. After passing two more cities, they would reach Nanzhou City!
Xu Zhiyi took a wooden basin and poured the spring water from the space, and brought it to Shen Changan who was sitting on the cart. He couldn't touch water for the first three days. Now it's the sixth day, so he can try to see if this spiritual spring water can speed up the recovery of bones.
"Changan, I'll use this water to wipe your legs."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changan reached out and began to untie the straps that secured his leg panels.
Xu Zhiyi wet the towel and looked at the wound on Shen Changan's calf. Because of the atrophy of the hamstring, the ankle did not look as flexible as a normal person's. He helped him turn the joint of his foot, which was obviously tight, as if there was a wire tied up the joint.
"Is the pain less severe now?"
Shen Changan shook his head: "It doesn't hurt much now!" After saying that, afraid that Xu Zhiyi would not believe it, he raised his hand: "Madam, I really didn't lie this time. It still hurts a little, but it doesn't hurt all the time. It only hurts for half an hour occasionally."
Xu Zhiyi looked at his nervous expression and smiled: "Okay, you can't lie to me, you didn't lie to me this time."
"My dear, Wuyou also promises that he will never lie to you."
Shen Wuyou, who was standing next to Xu Zhiyi at some point, suddenly spoke, startling Xu Zhiyi.
"Ah! When did you get behind me? You scared me to death!" He said, patting his chest in shock.
Hearing this, Shen Wuyou looked at Xu Zhiyi with an innocent and aggrieved face: "My wife, I have been standing next to you since you brought the water over! I have been standing there for a long time, but you didn't even notice me, hum!"
Xu Zhiyi: "I didn't, I just...I just...Okay! I really didn't notice you"
Shen Wuyou heard this and responded sullenly: “Oh! I see.”
After saying that, he walked to a tree not far away and sat down, deliberately turning his face to the other side.
Shen Changan looked at Shen Wuyou who was not far away, and explained: “My wife, Wuyou has been by your side all the time, I thought you noticed it, so I didn’t remind you”
Xu Zhiyi looked at Shen Wuyou. She had just been paying attention to Shen Changan’s legs and really didn’t notice Shen Wuyou.
"I'll go see him later."
As he spoke, he saw that the wet towel was almost done, so he applied medicine and bandage on him, then fixed him in place with a wooden board!
Then he came to sit next to Shen Wuyou, tugged at his sleeves with his hands, and whispered, “Wuyou, I…”
Shen Wuyou interrupted: “Madam, do you dislike me?”
Xu Zhiyi heard this and replied affirmatively: "No, I like yours"
After Shen Wuyou heard Xu Zhiyi’s clear answer, his anger instantly disappeared, and he pinched the corner of his clothes and whispered, “Then my lady, if you kiss me, I…I won’t be angry anymore!”
Xu Zhiyi: "They are all watching over there. I feel shy. Ahem, how about I just owe it to them first?"
Seeing that Shen Wuyou didn't respond, he planned to move over to kiss him, but Shen Wuyou moved over to kiss him instead.
"My dear, I kissed you, so you still owe me. I remember this, and you are not allowed to deny it."
After saying that, he ran away very happily!
Xu Zhiyi looked at Shen Wuyou's back and smiled. Hehe, this little husband is quite easy to coax.
Half an hour later, everyone packed up and started their next journey.
“Hiss…”
"ah!!"
Everyone was concentrating on getting on their way when suddenly there was a scream from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw an out-of-control carriage rushing towards them from behind. They were so scared that they quickly dodged to the side.
Xu Zhiyi's first reaction was to quickly push the cart and follow the Su family members to one side.
Unexpectedly, when he looked back and saw that Shen Wuyou did not follow him, he wanted to fall to the ground and roll to the side after seeing him react, but he saw that the carriage was about to arrive in front of him.
Xu Zhiyi saw this and rushed out quickly, pushing Shen Wuyou aside.
“Wife!!”
"Knowing the meaning!!"
When the horse was about to reach him, Xu Zhiyi turned sideways and desperately grabbed the front of the carriage. After being dragged for a distance, he finally climbed onto the carriage.
Her mind quickly recalled what her coach had told her when she went to the stable to practice horse riding: the correct way to startle a horse. She should grab the rope and pull the reins tight so that the reins would hit the corner of the horse's mouth, causing it to slow down.
"Drive! Drive..."
After a long journey, the horse's mood finally calmed down until it stopped completely.
Then he opened the curtain of the carriage and saw four people who had been knocked unconscious inside. He went over and pinched their Ren Zhong points, and the four people gradually woke up.
After the woman woke up, she hurried to look for her daughter. When she saw her daughter beside her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Qianqian!!"
Qianqian opened her eyes and saw that her mother was fine. She rushed over and hugged her: "Wow, Mommy!!"
After waking up, the nanny quickly checked whether the woman and Qianqian beside her were injured. After seeing that the two were fine, she felt relieved and suggested:
"Madam, Miss, why don't we wait for the master to come and pick us up! What if there is another accident like this on the road?"
The woman shook her head: "I just want to give him a surprise, I can't let him know that I'm going back early."
The nanny wanted to say something but hesitated, but finally stepped aside and remained silent.
The groom who was thrown in and knocked unconscious knelt down and begged for mercy after waking up: "Madam, Miss, I don't know why the horse was suddenly frightened! Please, Madam, spare me this time."
The woman did not respond to the groom, but only looked at Xu Zhiyi. Knowing that she was saved by Xu Zhiyi, she quickly thanked him, "Miss, thank you for saving my life and my daughter's life. You are the lifesaver of my mother and my daughter!"
As he spoke, he took out the gold hairpin on his head and the purse on his body and handed them to Xu Zhiyi: "Miss, we are in a hurry and don't bring much silver. I hope you don't mind these."
Xu Zhiyi waved her hand and refused: "No, madam, I was just trying to save my own life. But why did the carriage get startled? Madam, you'd better be careful on the road ahead."
When the woman heard Xu Zhiyi's words, she seemed to think of something and frowned, then recovered in an instant and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your reminder, young lady."
"Girl, you must accept these no matter what. I will never be able to rest in peace if I cannot repay you for saving my life."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi only took the purse and did not want the hairpin: "I accept the silver, but as for the hairpin, how can I take away what Madam likes?"
