Before the words were even finished, Lin Fei had already jumped onto the carriage, clapping her little hands and cheering, "Mom, cousin, what a big carriage! It's more beautiful than any carriage I've ever ridden in."
Madam Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "How did Xiao Fei get here so quickly?"
Bai Zhiyi said, "I brought Xiao Fei here. After I learned about this, I was afraid that the Northwest Army would directly attack my aunt's house, so I brought Xiao Fei here."
Madam Zheng was overjoyed and hugged Lin Fei, saying, "Your cousin did a wonderful job. That's why I sent someone to fetch her. Now we can leave immediately, as long as the horses are changed."
Bai Zhiyi said, "Then Aunt and Xiao Fei can stay in the car. I'll get out and have a word with you."
She got out of the carriage, and at that moment her uncle came over and stood in front of the carriage, arranging for servants to bring over several horses to replace the dead ones.
Bai Zhiyi found the maid and said to her, "Why did you bring Xiao Fei down here? There are dead people everywhere."
The maidservant said, somewhat aggrieved, "I didn't want to either. Miss, you ran all the way, and the Third Young Master was chasing after you. I couldn't catch up..."
Bai Zhiyi felt somewhat relieved to know that Wei Jingzhuo wasn't in the caravan. She said to her maid, "Never mind, Xiao Fei is already in the carriage anyway. My aunt and her family will be taking this carriage to the capital later, so let's go together."
The maid looked at her and smiled, "Miss, judging from your expression, your sweetheart should be alright."
Bai Zhiyi nudged her and said, "Don't make fun of me. I was so anxious just now."
The maid whispered, "Miss, your aunt has really gone too far. We didn't bring much with us this time. So, we don't need to go back to the Lin family, right?"
Bai Zhiyi said, "We're not going back. The Northwest Army is definitely going to surround the Lin residence. We'll leave with my aunt and uncle by car now..."
While the two were discussing, Lin Fei jumped off the carriage again.
He had lived in the Lin family mansion since birth, never having seen a battlefield, understanding its brutality, or even seen a dead body. Seeing so many people lying on the ground, arrows embedded in their bodies, he found it quite amusing. He ran to a corpse and tried to pull out the arrows with his hands.
Madam Zheng jumped out of the carriage and chased after him, shouting, "Xiao Fei, don't touch dead people, it's bad luck!"
Bai Zhiyi also felt it was inappropriate and said to Madam Zheng, "Aunt, please go back to the carriage, I'll do it."
She left the maid behind, walked over to Lin Fei, and squatted down, saying, "Xiao Fei, don't touch these things. Go back to the carriage obediently."
"No." Lin Fei impatiently shook off Bai Zhiyi's hand and ran towards a corpse further away from the carriage. Bai Zhiyi chased after him, grabbed Lin Fei's hand and said, "Little Fei, be good, listen to your cousin and go back to the carriage."
"No, I want to play with them." Lin Fei wouldn't listen to her at all.
Bai Zhiyi had no choice but to call out to her maid, "Xiao Ju, carry Xiao Fei to the carriage."
The maid ran up to him and, without saying a word, slapped Lin Fei on the bottom: "What are you playing around with? We're leaving soon."
When Lin Fei saw that his nemesis had arrived, he immediately became obedient.
Bai Zhiyi squatted on the ground for a while to calm herself down before getting up and walking towards the carriage.
She saw the maid carrying Lin Fei almost reaching the carriage. Lin Fei leaned on the maid's shoulder and waved her little hand, saying, "Cousin, come quickly."
Aunt Zheng greeted them at the carriage door, while Uncle directed the servants to change the horses at the front. Four new horses had replaced the dead ones. Dozens of servants were using ropes to tie the dead horse and drag it to the side.
At that moment, a bright red light burst forth from the carriage, instantly engulfing everything she saw.
Bai Zhiyi was so blinded by the bright light that she couldn't open her eyes and instinctively raised her arm to shield them. Then, it felt like someone had shoved her hard in the chest, and she was thrown into the air.
After that, she knew nothing more.
