Four hundred and fourteenth chapter on the road
The luggage of about thirty children came, but they were only a few ragged cages together. Several strong bodyguards helped the children move the cages to the carriage.
The children could not hide their excitement, nervousness, and some confusion about the future. They got on the carriage according to the group they had assigned before.
Ruan Mingzi stood in the thin night, nodded the number of people, and nodded silently at the head of the general slap.
The head of the chief escort understood and turned over silently. He made several gestures. The eunuch at the Xiongwei Escort Agency was well-trained.
This convoy of seven carriages, under the cover of night, was escorted by twenty bodyguards and quietly headed towards the Luyang Road city gate.
It was not yet time to open the city gate, but the time was tight in the twelfth lunar month. The stints often set off for escorts in the middle of the night. They had a good relationship with the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate. They stuffed some money, and the leading young general opened the city gate with a smile.
It's smooth.
This is also one of the reasons why Ruan Mingzi hired a stuntman.
Ruan Mingzi opened the car window a crack. The sky was not bright yet, and Ruan Mingzi couldn't see clearly, so she could only vaguely see the city gate of Luyang Road, which was getting farther and farther away from them.
Ruan Mingzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally left.
It just snowed a few days ago, and it was not easy to walk on the official road. In addition, their convoy was almost all children, and there was a wounded man, so he didn't dare to move too fast. Compared with Ruan Mingzi and his team, the speed was almost 30% slower than when they came to Luyang Road.
But this matter is urgent and urgent.
When they arrived at the normal order to use breakfast, there were too many people in their convoy. Ruan Mingzi did not choose to rest at the inn, but went to the inn to buy some dry food and jerky meat, and gave it to the chief escort, and asked the chief escort to distribute it to the escorts. She and Mrs. Zuo also bought some buns for children to eat and distributed them to each carriage.
Ruan Mingzi was still a little worried, so Te Te asked the mistress, for fear that some children who were too young would not be able to stand it.
Unexpectedly, the mistress showed a little bit of the child's innocence: "If you have buns to eat, you can still see the scenery outside, everyone is so happy! You are not tired, you are not tired at all. You can still lie in the carriage for a while if you are tired!"
Ruan Mingzi couldn't help but laugh a little.
Just as Ruan Mingzi was about to leave and return to her carriage, the mistress suddenly stopped Ruan Mingzi in a low voice: "Sister Ruan."
"Hmm?" Ruan Mingzi turned around and looked at the mistress.
The thin girl lay on the carriage window, looking forward to her eyes, as if there were stars in her eyes. She whispered: "When we get to the place, will no one be scolding us and be afraid of us?"
Ruan Mingzi suddenly felt sad, but a gentle smile appeared on her face. She nodded, her voice softer than Shan Lan, who was softer around the mountainside: "It must be gone, don't worry."
The thin girl smiled brightly.
Ruan Mingzi returned to his carriage. Brother Hui and Brother Yao were awake. They were holding the meat buns obediently and ate in small mouthfuls. Seeing Ruan Mingzi come in, the two of them swallowed the food in their mouths first, then they grinned at Ruan Mingzi, and shouted "Sister Ruan" in unison.
The carriage was full of joy.
Because their fleet has too many children, although all the children in the courtyard are well-behaved, they often have to take into account the physical strength and physiological needs of the children. The fleet cannot travel too fast, and it always has to delay a little.
In addition to the snowfall a few days ago, I walked on the road for two days and had almost passed more than half of the trip.
On the evening of the day, Ruan Mingzi arranged for the children to move into the inn and asked the people at the inn to deliver all the food to their respective houses. After this, it became completely dark.
Xi Tiandi looked unhappy and sat in the lobby of the inn to eat, "I'm so tired!"
I had a fever on the road in Qining, and there were other children who were originally weak and could not resist long journeys. I had never stopped busy for the past two days.
Ruan Mingzite picked up a chicken leg for Xi Tiandi, "Yes, yes, yes, Dr. Xi, thank you for your hard work, come and eat more meat to replenish it."
Xi Tiandi hummed twice and gave up.
Ruan Mingzi was also a little tired after riding in the carriage for two consecutive days and was having to worry about the children. She beat her waist and sat quietly for food.
Xi Tiandi glanced at her, picked up a large chopstick for her with public chopsticks, put it in the rice bowl in front of her, and said disgustedly: "You must also make up for it. The meat on your cheeks will be gone. If others see it, they will say we are bullying you?"
Ajiao, who had not spoken, turned his eyes when he heard this and glanced at Ruan Mingzi.
He followed Ruan Mingzi every day without realizing it, as if he had seen it cleared a little.
The girl was originally thin, but her cheeks were slightly covered with baby fat that had not yet completely faded, and her cheeks were cleared a little.
Although the color has grown a little more, Ajiao is at the same time as Tiandi.
It's better to eat more weight.
Halfway through the meal, a dusty man came in at the entrance of the station. His head and face were extremely tightly wrapped, but the exposed skin was still blown by the wind and even frost.
He asked the shopkeeper of the inn: "Have the shopkeeper ever seen a convoy with dozens of children?"
The shopkeeper subconsciously looked at Ruan Mingzi and the others' table.
Ajiao stood up almost instantly, blocked Ruan Mingzi, and looked at the man coldly.
The man followed the eyes of the shopkeeper of the station and saw Ruan Mingzi eating in the corner. His eyes lit up. He pulled off the scarf wrapped around most of his face, quickly met him, and called "Miss Ruan".
Ruan Mingzi then recognized that this was the attendant beside Yan Ziyue.
Ruan Mingzi pulled the corner of his clothes behind Ajiao. Ajiao paused and then left his seat again.
"Why are you here? Where is your young master?" Ruan Mingzi said in surprise.
The attendant took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Ruan Mingzi with both hands, and smiled and said, "My young master asked me to deliver a letter to the girl. Hurry up, it's just a matter of catching up."
Ruan Mingzi took the letter, opened it directly, and started watching it in public.
After reading it, she folded the letter again and smiled at the entourage, "Your son has troubled... Have you ever used food? Why should you use some together?"
The servant clasped his fists and declined with a smile: "There is no need. Since Miss Ruan has received the letter, I will say goodbye. I rode a horse fast and could still rush back before it was completely dark."
Ruan Mingzi did not force it, but said, "Be careful on the road, be safe all the way", and sent the servant outside the post station.
When Ruan Mingzi turned back, she saw that several adults were waiting for her to come back, and she smiled and said, "...it's good news."
She didn't say much, after all, the lobby of the station is mixed, and it is really not a good place to talk about things.
