Chapter 695: Encounter on the Road
Tang Bao got off the carriage and stretched her numb legs and feet.
Then, look forward.
There were two carriages parked in the middle of the road ahead.
Several big men were surrounding one of the cars.
Several big men were squatting on the ground, tinkering with the axles.
Next to the other carriage, there was a small stool.
An old lady with kind eyes and silver hair was strolling on the roadside, supported by a nanny dressed as a servant.
I guess he was tired from riding in the carriage and took the opportunity to get off and stretch his legs.
"Miss, I'll go over and take a look." Lin Enyi said.
Tang Bao nodded.
Lin Enyi tied the horse's reins to a tree on the side of the road and walked towards the carriage in front.
"Miss, do you want to go to the toilet?" asked Shi Liu.
Tang Bao didn't want to at first, but when Shi Liu asked, she felt that she wanted to.
It is impossible to borrow someone's toilet in the wilderness.
We can only use the sky as a roof and the trees as a shed.
This kind of thing is very common, so Tang Bao naturally has no embarrassment about it. She stretched out her hand and pointed to the dense forest on the left.
"Let's go there." Tang Bao said.
"Wait a moment, miss."
As Shi Liu said this, he turned around and took out some straw paper from the carriage.
As soon as the carriage in front stopped, the ones behind naturally stopped as well.
Su Laowu and a group of students got off the carriage one after another.
As a dozen students in blue clothes got off the car, they immediately added a touch of elegance to the entire official road.
The old lady who was strolling on the side of the road couldn't help but look over, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Madam, these are probably scholars from some academy, right?" the nanny beside her guessed.
The old lady nodded, her eyes lingering on Su Laowu's face for a moment.
Then, he sighed.
The old nanny naturally understood her master's thoughts and sighed secretly.
"Don't worry, old lady. The young lady is of noble status and will definitely find a good match." The old nanny observed her master's expression and said cautiously, "Next year's spring examination will surely bring a scholar with both good character and talent. When the time comes, as long as you..."
"Cui Lian, you know that even if Ning'er's appearance is damaged, there is no man in the world that she can't marry, but she herself..."
When the old lady said this, she shook her head and a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
It’s not that the granddaughter can’t get married, but because her appearance is ruined, she has given up the idea of getting married and insists on practicing Buddhism and Zen with her.
But how could she bear to let such a good granddaughter live out her life in seclusion?
How great it would be if my granddaughter didn’t have that strange disease?
Alas! I hope this trip turns out just as Master Zhiren said.
Thinking of this, the old lady looked at Su Laowu again.
Su Laowu is handsome and has clear eyes.
The old lady could tell at a glance that Su Laowu was a young man of upright character.
She couldn't help but think that if her granddaughter could marry such a man, even if he was a poor student from a humble family, she would be happy.
"Cui Lian, help me sit down." said the old lady.
"yes."
The old nanny hurriedly helped the old lady to sit down on a small stool nearby.
The old lady touched the Buddhist beads on her wrist and said, "Bring out the orchid and let it bask in the sun."
"yes."
The old nanny agreed, returned to the carriage, and carefully took down a pot of flowers.
A faint scent of sandalwood spread in the air.
immediately--
“Knock knock knock…”
A faint sound of wooden fish was heard.
The old lady narrowed her eyes, held the Buddhist beads in front of her chest with both hands, and counted silently.
As soon as Tang Bao and Shi Liu walked towards the dense forest, Su Laowu knew what was going on.
Therefore, the students who wanted to take care of their urgent needs were immediately told to go to the right side and not to go to the left side.
He stood on the left side of the road, keeping watch for his sister and forbidding any man to go into the dense forest on the left.
Tang Bao and Shi Liu went into the dense forest, found a safe place, and solved some personal problems.
"Rustle, rustle..."
There was a noise coming from the grass not far away.
Tang Bao glanced at it and ignored it.
It is normal to have snakes, rats, insects and ants in the grass.
"ah!"
Tang Bao had just tidied her clothes when she heard a woman's scream and the sound of grass shaking not far away.
Tang Bao and Shi Liu looked at each other and ran towards the direction of the sound.
A maid in a green bodice, supporting a woman in a moon-white dress and a veil, was backing away in panic, staring at the bushes in front of them.
"What's wrong?" Pomegranate asked loudly.
"Snakes! There are snakes! So many snakes..." The maid in green said in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes.
Tang Bao paused, lowered her head and took out an emerald green "bracelet" from her small bag.
Well, a small snake.
"Is it you who did this?" Tang Bao asked in a low voice.
The little snake blinked its crystal clear red eyes and looked at Tang Bao innocently.
Although the little snake should have no expression, it gives people a feeling of innocence.
"It better not be." Tang Bao poked the little snake's head and whispered, "If you dare to scare people with a snake, I'll put you in a small dark room."
The little snake tilted its head back and looked at Tang Bao with a wronged look on its face.
Then the snake's tail was placed on its head, covering its eyes.
Staying in isolation on the spot to express protest.
Tang Bao: "...Okay, okay, I'll give you something delicious later."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the little snake's head.
The little snake was healed immediately.
The snake's tail twisted flexibly and wrapped around Tang Bao's wrist, turning into an imperial green bracelet.
At the same time, the red eyes blinked at Tang Bao.
Meaning: Look, how good I am...
A smile appeared on Tang Bao's face.
"Yes, you are so good..."
Shi Liu had already strode over, wanting to perform a heroic act of catching a snake with her bare hands and saving a beauty.
However--
"Where is the snake? Where is it?" Pomegranate asked in surprise.
Where is the shadow of a snake in the grass in front of me?
"Snake... the snake ran away..." The little maid trembled and pointed to the grass not far away.
She also didn't expect that the group of snakes that had just spit out their tongues at her master and servant and looked like they were about to rush up to attack them would actually turn around and swim away quickly.
"Rustle, rustle..."
The grass not far away swayed rapidly, like a wave of wheat swaying in the wind, spreading into the distance.
Just by looking at the area of the swaying grass, you can tell that it is not just one, but a group.
Pomegranate clicked his tongue, full of amazement.
She has been running around Phoenix Mountain for so many years and has never encountered a group of snakes.
These two people were just relieving themselves in the wild when they ran into a large group of snakes.
"What are you doing... uh, oh, you stepped on a snake's nest?"
Shi Liu stuttered for a moment, then thought of Uncle Lin's warning and quickly changed his words.
You should never say something like "you pooped in someone else's snake nest."
It would make me look too vulgar and I would lose face for the lady.
"No." The little maid shook her head as if she had just survived a disaster. "We don't know why so many snakes suddenly appeared. There are colorful ones, yellow ones, green ones, and red ones..."
The little girl was about to cry as she spoke.
