Chapter 457: Meeting on a Narrow Road
Wan Laoer, who was driving the carriage at a frenzy, was a little panicked and lost his way. After running out of the town, he didn't know where to go.
"Mr. Yan, where are we going now?"
Wan Laoer had no choice but to stop the carriage and asked loudly.
"Go back. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Go to the county town."
Jia Yanbing covered his chest with his hands, his face pale, and his voice trembled a little. It can be heard that he was trying his best to endure it.
"Mr. Yan, are you okay? I have some wound medicine here, would you like to use some?"
Wan Laoer specially bought some wound medicine from the old doctor, because they were always injured along the way and he had to keep some on hand.
Jia Yanbing could already feel the stickiness under his hand, and the wound must have split open.
"Thank you very much."
"Fubao, there is a small white porcelain bottle in the secret compartment under the seat. Find it and give it to the gentleman."
"Oh, okay." Fubao was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She was anxious when she saw her husband was in pain.
After hearing what Wan Laoer said, she hurriedly searched through the secret compartments one by one, and finally found a small porcelain bottle, which she quickly handed to Jia Yanbing.
"Sir, do you need Fubao's help?"
"No, Fubao, sit tight. This carriage is running too fast and you might fall. Come to me."
Fubao sat obediently next to Jia Yanbing.
Jia Yanbing was just about to apply the medicine when the carriage suddenly braked to a stop. The two people in the carriage were almost thrown out. Fortunately, Jia Yanbing held the window and Fubao hit him. If it was like before, Fubao would have been thrown out.
"Who is it?" Wan Laoer's voice came from outside.
Jia Yanbing couldn't help but sweat, not daring to make a sound. Could it be that those people have already caught up? It seemed that the beans they spread didn't delay for long. Was he really going to die here today? He really didn't want to accept this, and he also dragged down this innocent father and daughter.
"Dad, why does this voice sound familiar?" The woman's voice was particularly clear in the silent night.
The old sheep-head also squinted his eyes and looked up at the carriage, but he couldn't see the person's face clearly.
There was a bright moon in the sky, illuminating the ground, so Wan Laoer could see that there was also an ox cart coming towards him, otherwise he would have collided with it.
At this time, Old Sheephead seemed to recognize Wan Laoer's carriage, because Wan Laoer's carriage was more luxurious than others. He had seen it during the day, but this carriage had never been seen in the entire town.
The old sheephead was both surprised and confused.
"Wife, those seem to be a few people who came to our house in the evening. Are they going to our house?"
The old sheephead and the woman began to murmur.
Wan Laoer became anxious when he saw that the person opposite him didn't speak for a long time. Jia Yanbing in the carriage was even more uneasy.
"Who are you? Please make way and let us pass."
Wan Laoer shouted again, because at this time both of their cars were in the middle of the road, and both of them had to give way to each other before they could pass.
Wan Laoer's shout made the woman realize that the person opposite was the one who came to their village today.
"Brother, where are you going so late at night?" The woman got off the ox cart and walked to Wan Laoer's carriage to ask.
Only then did Wan Laoer see clearly that the person who came was the woman he had just met, and they even drank her goat milk.
"Sister-in-law? Why are you here? Are you going to town so late?"
Wan Laoer was also surprised. This was really a fate.
When Jia Yanbing heard the noise outside the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that God was still taking care of them and they were not so unlucky.
However, Jia Yanbing immediately set his sights on the woman's family. If they went to the woman's village and hid for a night, perhaps they could distract those people and allow them to escape the disaster?
Fubao also stuck her head out of the car window. She also recognized the woman's voice, so she stuck her little head out to greet the woman.
"Aunt, I'm Fubao. We meet again. Fubao, do you still remember that Aunt said I would make delicious food for you?"
Fubao's clear voice immediately attracted the woman's attention.
"Oh, it's little girl, where are you going?"
"Aunt, there are bad guys chasing us. We have to run quickly. If we don't run, we will die."
Fubao said it directly, and Wan Laoer was shocked. How could this girl be so fierce? They were being chased by someone now, how could she say that?
"Sister-in-law, the child is just talking nonsense. Don't be afraid, but we do have something to do." Wan Laoer wanted to interrupt, but at this time Jia Yanbing's voice came from the carriage.
"Sister-in-law, we are indeed being hunted down, but the group of people hunting us down is related to you."
Wan Laoer frowned, not quite understanding why Jia Yanbing said that.
The woman was already scared, and when she heard what Jia Yanbing said, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly. She was just a woman, how could she be related to a murderer?
"Sister-in-law, this is a long story. We would like to take shelter at your house for one night. Is that possible? If we delay any longer, those people will come looking for us, and then none of us will be able to escape."
Jia Yanbing's voice was filled with a hint of anxious urging, and the woman could tell that this didn't seem to be the time to chat.
But she couldn't make the decision. She couldn't believe them just because Jia Yanbing said a few words and take the person directly home. What if they were lying, wouldn't their family be implicated?
"Well, wait a moment. I'll go discuss this with my boss."
After saying this, the woman ran away quickly.
"Boss, those guys said they were being hunted down, and that this incident was related to our family. They wanted to follow us to our home to hide for one night. Do you agree?"
When the old sheep head heard this, his eyes widened and he yelled at the woman, "Bullshit! We are all honest farmers. How can we be connected with murderers? Go home quickly. I think they are just a bunch of liars. There is no such thing as unsalable mutton. I told you not to believe it, but you insisted on coming. Now you have to wade into muddy water again."
The old sheephead immediately turned the ox cart around and told the woman to get on and go home.
Wan Laoer was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? They were originally going to the county town, so were they going to the village or the county town?
"Follow them." Jia Yanbing said in a deep voice in the carriage.
Wan Laoer was a little hesitant. The other party obviously didn't want to pay attention to them. He was not so shameless as to follow them desperately.
Seeing that Wan Laoer didn't move, Jia Yanbing explained again, "Don't worry, I won't let you show up. You just need to follow them and I will explain to them."
Only then did Wan Laoer drive the horse-drawn carriage to catch up with the ox cart in front.
It's already the coldest time of the year. If we spend a night outside, we'll be frozen into popsicles by tomorrow morning.
So they had to find a place to rest tonight, and the village of Old Sheephead, which was the closest to here, was the most suitable one, because they had just dealt with each other and were familiar with each other, and it was better than spending the night in a stranger's house.
