Chapter 41 Unexpected Diversion
The thick dark clouds were like a huge gray quilt, ruthlessly blocking the sunlight and wrapping the entire world in a gloomy atmosphere.
Inside the carriage, apart from the occasional clatter of horse hooves, the two friends remained silent, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it was depressing.
Su Yuan closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car, sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Meng Yunqiao no longer lay there as recklessly as before. Instead, he lowered his head and stared at the ground in silence, contrary to his usual behavior.
Her emotions at this moment were like thick dark clouds in the sky that lingered for a long time. Darkness and shadows enveloped Meng Yunqiao's heart, making her feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
My brother’s illness is so serious this time, I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. What if, what if something really happens to my brother?
Then she might be a disaster.
Meng Yunqiao frowned in pain, secretly blaming himself in his heart.
However, before one problem was solved another was encountered. Before she could be sad for long, loud shouting was heard from outside again.
This time the sound didn't come from their team, but seemed to come from not far ahead.
Inside the carriage.
Su Yuan heard the heart-wrenching cry for help, suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the car curtain and looked out.
After seeing the scene ahead clearly.
Her pupils dilated in shock, she leaned out half of her body and roared at the two carriages in front:
"The two carriages in front, turn around and go back quickly, hurry up."
After saying that, she rushed out, pushed the driver away, and went into battle herself, whipping the horse, turning around and leaving, leading the way.
"Tap tap tap, tap tap tap."
After running for a stick of incense, Su Yuan realized that he was safe. He took a deep breath and said thankfully:
"It was a close call. If we were a step later, our team would have been swept into the surging river that broke through the dam."
In the carriage, Meng Yunqiao was still sitting there trembling with fear. After she came to her senses, she rushed out and said to Su Yuan:
"The Pingji Bridge was washed away just now. Am I seeing this correctly?"
Su Yuan frowned, somewhat puzzled:
"You read that right. The dam burst and the Pingji Bridge we were going to cross was washed away."
She was very confused.
Isn't this going to happen this afternoon?
She has a photographic memory, so it's impossible for her to make a mistake.
Meng Yunqiao patted his chest and said with a trembling heart:
"This, this is really a sudden disaster. I just saw that the team in front of us was swept away. It was terrible. Fortunately, you reacted quickly."
After she finished speaking, she thought of Meng Yunlan again, and the relief on her face disappeared, replaced by worry.
Meng Yunqiao's eyes turned red and he said in a hoarse voice:
"The road back to Tongcheng is gone. What should I do? Then, what about my brother?"
"If we return along the same route, it will take at least two days and one night to travel slowly. If we continue to delay like this, he will have no chance of survival."
Su Yuan pursed her lips and said nothing.
His eyes never left Meng Yunqiao, waiting for her to make a decision.
Meng Yunqiao raised his head and glanced at the dark clouded sky, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
She absolutely could not let her brother's illness be delayed.
After a while.
Meng Yunqiao turned to look at Su Yuan and said seriously:
"I'll give you a carriage. You and Brother-in-law Nan can go back to Qinghe. I'll take my brother and try to take the bandit route. Maybe we can get away with it."
Although she said this, she knew it in her heart.
I guess I’m going to fail this time.
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and said in a leisurely and meaningful tone:
"Going the bandit route? That's a dangerous situation where you are 100 percent sure of your life. If you're not careful, you'll die. Are you sure?"
Meng Yunqiao clenched his hands under his wide sleeves, his face was calm and he smiled with curved lips:
"It's okay. Eighteen years later, I will be a good woman again. Hehe, I will still make you my close friend."
"Well, I'll leave my carriage to you. I'll squeeze into my brother's carriage. You guys can go now."
Meng Yunqiao waved his hand at Su Yuan to urge him.
But the bitterness on her lips still betrayed her.
Su Yuan sighed inwardly upon seeing this, and stopped testing Meng Yunqiao. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"I want to go to Tongzhou too. Since the official road has collapsed, let's take the bandit road together."
After that, she reminded:
"You organize the team, we will set off immediately. Aren't you worried about your brother? The sooner we leave, the sooner we will arrive."
"We also need to adjust the order. The two of us will go to the middle carriage. If there is danger, we can also protect the weak men."
Surprise flashed across Meng Yunqiao's eyes. He frowned and lowered his voice to Su Yuan, saying angrily:
"Su Yuan, you, do you know how dangerous this is? Do you want to die?"
However, Su Yuan ignored her and walked away to comfort her husband.
In the carriage.
After experiencing the danger just now, the three men were very panicked.
Wenqing and Wenxiu knelt at the door of the carriage, constantly glancing outside, fearing that the surging river water would come back and bring disaster to their team.
Nan Chu sat next to Meng Yunlan, staring at his pale face with a worried look and sighing from time to time.
"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of someone getting on the carriage was heard, and Nan Chu looked over in confusion.
When he saw it was Su Yuan, his eyes were filled with surprise and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
call.
He is not afraid as long as his wife is by his side.
Su Yuan saw her husband staring at her with his sparkling almond-shaped eyes, and the joy in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.
She shook her head imperceptibly, walked forward and squatted beside Nan Chu, took his white little hand on his knee and rubbed it, and said softly:
"It's safe now, don't be afraid."
Nan Chu stared at Su Yuan intently and nodded obediently:
"Well, I'm not afraid as long as my wife is here."
After saying that, he looked at Meng Yunqiao again and said worriedly:
"There's no road ahead, what should we do with Brother Meng's illness?"
When Su Yuan heard him call Meng Yunlan brother, he raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"There is another way. There will be dangers along the way. Are you afraid?"
Nan Chu pursed his lips and shook his head:
"Don't be afraid. Human life is at stake. Saving Brother Meng is more important."
Although Brother Meng was a son of a noble family, he did not look down on me at all. Instead, he treated me with courtesy.
He was a good man and did not deserve to die.
After hearing this, Su Yuan pinched her husband's chubby face and said jokingly:
"Our Nanchu is so kind-hearted!"
Nan Chu glanced at Wen Qing and Wen Xiu, lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and said in a drawn-out tone:
"The wife."
Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, holding Nan Chu's hand with a little force.
As soon as they finished talking, Meng Yunqiao arranged everything and bent down to get into the carriage.
After sitting firmly, she shouted "Let's go" to the outside, and the whole team turned into another road and continued to move forward.
After Meng Yunqiao came in, he stared at Su Yuan with deep eyes, his lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
After Su Yuan noticed it, he glanced at her lazily and said in a calm tone:
"There's a half-stone mountain ahead, so cheer up."
"Also, no matter what happens later, you must obey my command. If I leave, remember to protect Nan Chu. Can you do this?"
