Chapter 36 Shortcuts

The long road is covered with clouds and smoke. Carriages and horses are corrected and driven.

It started drizzling at night, and the mist was gathered in the early morning. The moist air made Jing Ning feel comfortable all over. She raised her long black sleeves and leaned out of the curtain of the car and waved it into the fog.

Then he saw that the coachman who had not been sleeping all night was yawning.

Jing Ning was a little ashamed of the night, and was also quite interested in the horse-driving car. She said, "If you are tired, come to the car to rest first. Let me drive."

The young coachman's ears were red, and he didn't answer his words and just shook his head desperately.

There is no reason why the wife drives, but the driver rests peacefully... Besides, the reason for insomnia is not because of the noisy in the next room. He has been driving outside for many years and has slept in the grass. He has never disturbed his daily routine during a blizzard. It is just that the fragrance of the bed sheets and bedding has lingered all night.

Seeing the driver resisting, Jing Ning had just driven the horse himself.

She only regards riding a horse and driving as an ordinary skill that can be learned or not, while flying in the sky and hiding the clouds and fogs is the magic that she admires.

Jing Ning turned around and asked, "This is nearly a hundred miles from Xiling City to Xihuang City. If there are evil people with a path in the middle, where is the most likely place to start?"

The coachman immediately replied, "Well...Madam Jing, don't worry! This road is small and hasn't been walked a hundred times, but it has never encountered robbers."

"I didn't mean that..." Jing Ning explained, "I asked, where is the best place on this road for robbers to lie in ambush."

"Well..." The driver was a little embarrassed, "If you say where is the best place for ambush, it should be a leopard leaping stream. The mountain road is rugged, and the middle road is so narrow that only one carriage can pass through. There are dense forests on both sides. After the robbery, you can run without a trace in the blink of an eye - most of the robbery incidents that have occurred in recent years are there."

"If we follow our driving speed, when will we reach the Leopard Jumping River?" Jing Ning asked again.

"Slower will be early tomorrow morning, and fast will be noon tomorrow." Although I don't know what the purpose of Mrs. Jing's words were, the coachman who was sleepy and sleepy when he listened to Mrs. Shu Chang's voice, he just replied.

After two sentences, Jing Ning was 80% sure that the Chihu Gang, who was preparing to attack the caravan, started in Baoyuejian.

You must watch the show in full early.

She continued to ask, “Is there any way to arrive tonight?”

"Uh... I don't have to worry about the robbers when I walk at night, but the terrain is steep and there is no one else's house. After wading through the leopard leaping stream, I can't find a place to spend the night..."

The coachman only talked about the difficulties of sleeping overnight but didn't mention whether he could arrive on time.

Jing Ningxin has a certainty, "You can't control other things, just let me arrive at the Leopard Ridge before sunset."

The coachman was suffocated when he listened to Mrs. Jing's tough order and nodded in agreement.

After walking this path many times, he knew the shortcuts and wrong paths clearly. He quickly drove the carriage into a remote path where all the weeds were not trampled.

But things did not progress as smoothly as Jingning expected.

There is a reason no one wants to walk the path.

I vaguely heard the sound of the instruments, followed by regular wails.

Turning over the sprouting woods, the speed of the carriage dropped sharply, and the inertia caused the dried fish that Jing Ning had just taken out. She hurriedly picked up the dust and took it on her bite, then lifted the curtain to see what happened.

The situation is clear at a glance, and I have encountered a team of mourning.

He raised white banners and scattered paper money to carry coffins. More than 20 villagers squeezed on remote roads, walking forward in tears every three steps, blocking the already narrow road tightly.

Jing Ning can only wait behind.

But after carefully gnawing two dried fish in the car, the mourning crowd still walked slowly on the road.

She finally couldn't stand the sound of the suona and the howling like ghosts.

"You go to the front and tell the leader, blocking the person who is in a hurry!" She lifted the curtain and ordered.

In the eyes of the uneducated and superstitious villagers, the old man who died in the world was the biggest. Even if he was a high-ranking official... they really had to give in to the way when the nobles came, but the carriage and horse carrying women behind him were absolutely not qualified to go ahead.

The coachman trotted into the crowd and then patted his trouser legs covered in mud and turned back.

"Have you fallen?" Jing Ning asked.

"Tell me to respect the old man who died in their family and kowtow three times." The young coachman replied.

The soul that has traveled through the earth since the 21st century was instinctively unhappy, but Jing Ning knew that it had nothing to do with him whether others would be willing to kowtow.

"Did you agree to give in after kowtowing?" Jing Ning asked.

"The leader said that women are unlucky and are not allowed to walk in front of you." The coachman shook his head and repeated it.

Jing Ning nodded, "It's really unlucky."

The coachman instinctively realized the anger in Jing Ning's words and hurriedly gave an idea, "Why don't you get off the car and walk, madam, I'll drive the car to pass through the woods, and then meet in front of the mourning team!"

"No need to be so troublesome, just wait a little longer. Maybe they are going to have a bad thing!" Jing Ning said, closing the door curtain at the same time.

There was a slight sound of objects falling to the ground in the car, and then there was no movement.

A blue-black thin snake crawled out of the car window.

"Hiss, let you know what real bad luck is!" The Jinshe came to the front of the mourning team, thinking about how to make a perfect interpretation of the words.

"I originally wanted to burn the coffin and the body was burned with fire, but cremation was both environmentally friendly and hygienic, and had nothing to do with bad luck."

"Then I have to have a demon to chew the corpse!"

The snake's tail hooked back into the carriage, and then a toad was rolled out.

The stench of the corpse can be smelled from afar. Jing Ning would rather chew the dried fish on the ground than touch the human corpse that had been dry for more than ten days.

The habits of one's own pets are a bit like dogs, so it should not be considered unfair to do this.

"Hiss, it's a pity that the clams have a shrinking body after eating the elixir. Now they can only bite their palms, and they don't look majestic enough..."

"Guwha." The toad screamed softly, as if protesting against Jing Ning's belittling.

Jing Ning arrived at the front of the team and hid in the forest.

Tighten the tail with force, and tap the void of the tail tip, and a withered yellow demon wind blew.

In an instant, the trees were brushed, paper money flew everywhere, white banners hung upside down, and the mourning villagers were tilted around, and the coffin with vermilion paint and twisted ropes slammed on the mud.

Bang!

"What are you doing? Do you have the strength? If my father kowtows a piece of hair, be careful with me!" The leading middle-aged man was fat and not affected by the wind for a while. He hurriedly lay down in front of the coffin and said angrily at the top of his throat.

After scolding him, he said affectionately to the coffin, "Dad, are you okay?"

Of course the dead are nothing to say.

The elderly Taoist priest who was leading the way spoke, "This wind is strange! It's a demonic wind!"

"Hiss! Good, you Taoist priest helps the evil, let me teach you a lesson first." Jing Ning curled up another demonic wind, blew off the Taoist priest's nine-beam hat, and exposed the alopecia areata's white hair in front of others.

The Taoist priest covered his head and said angrily, "Ah! A bold monster, he actually dared to commit murder in Nanguang County and outside Xihuang City!"
