Chapter 1365 The Master is in Love with the Bandit (5)
Liu Yiming learned from the old doctor that the chances of curing the tendons in his hands and feet were very slim, and the miracle doctor was nowhere to be found, so he felt extremely desperate and didn't even want to please Xie Ronghua.
Although Xie Ronghua was deceived by Liu Yiming and had some affection for him when she was still in the bandit's den, it was only temporary. After all, she was in danger at that time, and Liu Yiming was the only straw that could save her. Naturally, she was easily moved by him at that time.
However, just one night later, Liu Yiming suddenly became a cripple. He lost his former elegance and grace, and instead became a useless person who needed to be carried away. This quickly reduced Xie Ronghua's admiration and good impression of him.
As time went by, even the so-called "life-saving grace" that Liu Yiming had deceived him into saying gradually faded in Xie Ronghua's heart. After all, in the heart of this proud daughter of the Xie family, anyone saving her is a duty and part of her job. As a master, why should she feel grateful to an ordinary person?
Therefore, along the way, Xie Ronghua did not develop feelings with Liu Yiming as he did in the original world's plot. Liu Yiming's treatment was much worse. In the end, he lived in an ordinary room with several guards, and the guards and servants became more and more indifferent towards him.
Shi Chu saw that his eyes were becoming more and more gloomy, and it was obvious that he was not having a good time. At that time, Chu felt more satisfied in her heart. She was happier that Liu Yiming was not having a good time.
After watching Xie Ronghua's mischief for a few days, Shi Chu became impatient to stay and watch the show. Anyway, she would never have any contact with them again in the future, so she decided to leave.
Although she wanted to pretend to be a traveling merchant, Shi Chu had no intention of actually forming a caravan, as that would be neither safe nor convenient, so she simply bought a carriage and set off on her own.
She didn't have a destination, she just drove along the official road and stayed wherever she went for a few days.
She is now in a country called Dayong. The original owner was a native of Dayong. She was sold to human traffickers by her parents when she was young. Later, she was bought by the Xie family as a slave. Gradually, she became the personal maid of the eldest daughter of the Xie family. However, she was unlucky. When she accompanied Xie Ronghua back to her maternal grandparents' home, she was abducted and killed by bandits.
In recent years, there have been more and more bandits in Dayong. We often hear news about bandits appearing in certain places, killing people and robbing, doing all kinds of evil. However, the government rarely cracks down on these bandits. Even if they are reported to the court, the court has no time to care, because the war of foreign invasion on the border alone has occupied all the attention. Therefore, under such circumstances, the bandits have become more and more rampant.
Obviously, Emperor Yongzheng was in danger due to internal and external troubles. It was unknown when a major conflict would break out, either a civil war or a foreign war.
Under such circumstances, Shi Chu, who was traveling alone in a carriage, was like a big fat sheep and attracted several waves of robbers along the way.
This time was the same. Shi Chu wiped her blood-stained sword and ignored the bodies of the robbers on the ground. She calmed the frightened horse, tidied up everything, and continued on her way.
However, not long after she slowly drove away in her carriage, she was suddenly stopped by a group of people rushing towards her.
"Hey! People in the carriage in front! Stop!" someone shouted later.
Shi Chu listened carefully and heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer. It seemed that there were many people following them. She was a little suspicious. Could it be that the voice was calling her?
So she stopped out of curiosity, and sure enough, a young man on horseback stopped her carriage a moment later and said unhappily, "Why didn't you listen when I told you to stop?"
"Why do you want me to stop?" Shi Chu became unhappy when he heard his bad tone and asked.
"It was our young master who asked you to stop. Why are you talking so much?" the man scolded.
Shi Chu was so angry that he laughed: "Who is your young master? I don't know him, why should I stop just because he tells me to? Is he the king of heaven?"
"You!" The man's face turned red with anger, and he said, "My son is the third son of the main branch of the Hengyang Lu family! How could you not know that he is so famous? You are really ignorant..."
"Oh? So it's Hengyang Lu San." Shi Chu deliberately said in a frivolous tone, "Then I really don't know him. How? Is he famous?"
"Of course my young master is famous! How dare a commoner like you disrespect him? You are so bold!" The man said angrily while glaring at Shi Chu.
At this time, a carriage slowly drove over from behind and stood opposite Shi Chu's shabby carriage. However, Shi Chu's shabby carriage looked like a rag next to the gorgeous and spacious luxury carriage, and was simply unsightly.
Shi Chu stared in amazement at the carriage in front of her that was as luxurious as a small house. Even though she had long known that some noble families' travel carriages were indeed built as luxuriously as movable palaces, she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes. These noble families were truly extravagant.
"Sir, my name is Lu San from Hengyang. May I know your name?" A young man with rich clothes, handsome face, red lips and white teeth walked out of the luxurious carriage. He was obviously from an extraordinary family.
Shi Chu made up a story expressionlessly: "Qingzhou Shi Er."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu's eyes were confused for a while, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "So Mr. Shi is from Qingzhou, which seems to be a relatively remote place."
"Yes, it's very remote." Shi Chu nodded seriously. In fact, she didn't even know whether there was a place called Qingzhou in Dayong. But since Mr. Lu San said so, there must be a place called Qingzhou, it's just a little remote. She didn't expect that she was right.
"I wonder why Mr. Lu asked me to stop the carriage? I'm in a hurry to get on my way." Shi Chu asked directly.
"It's like this. I saw a lot of fresh corpses on the road ahead. I asked someone to check and found out that they were all robbers who had just been killed. I was worried that the people who fought with these robbers would be in danger, so I sent people to chase them and find out what happened." Young Master Lu San answered good-temperedly.
"We caught up with you and found that yours was the only carriage. We were very shocked and wanted to ask you to stop. In case you are injured, I have a doctor and medicine..." Young Master Lu smiled at Shi Chu.
Shi Chu was very surprised. She thought that the young man from a noble family asked her to stop because he wanted to do something bad. She didn't expect that he wanted to do good things. She was judging others by her own standards.
"I'm not injured and don't need your doctor or medicine." Shi Chu said.
