Chapter 6 She Shouldn't Meddle

Chapter 6 She shouldn't meddle in other people's business

At noon, the sun in autumn is not inferior to summer, and it is hot on the top of my head. Lin Xiaoyue feels sweating on her back. After leaving the capital, they have no chance to rest. The two yamen runners tried their best to rush to the road, as if the Yangming Mountain was so terrifying!

"Two yamen runners, we have been leaving for a whole morning. Let's sit and rest."

Lin Xiaoyue saw that several prisoners around her had white lips and could fall down at any time when she sat on the ground and said breathlessly.

Jiang Bai was about to swear, but turned around and saw Lin Xiaoyue sitting on the ground!

He swallowed the words to his mouth in an instant, cleared his throat, and said, "Stay on the spot! I will follow you up the mountain in a while. If anyone falls into the team, just wait for the ghost to eat at night!"

Lin Xiaoyue looked in the direction of Jiang Bai's finger. There was a fork in the road not far away. On the fork in the left, there was a wooden sign from Yangming Town, and to the right was an uphill road. It seemed that they had reached the foot of Yangming Mountain.

She took a sip of water and took out a steamed bun from the bag. In order not to be discovered, she took out some dry food from the space and put it in the bag in advance.

She quickly ate two steamed buns, and she planned to take a quick time to take a nap, and rolled over the mountain in front of her in one breath. It would be impossible not to save some strength!

"Bang!"

Just as she was sleeping comfortably, a loud whip sounded.

She suddenly raised her head and happened to see a thin man curled up on the ground and shivering with a trembling sound, shouting "Give up" in her mouth.

"Brother Yassen, why did this person make you angry?" She bit her lip, but in the end she couldn't suppress the unbearableness in her heart, and walked over and asked.

Jiang Bai scolded while whipping the whip: "Damn it! The dog actually lied that he wanted to pee, and then wanted to run away while we were napping! I won't beat him to death!"

Lin Xiaoyue tilted her head and met the man's stubborn eyes, which was a kind of person!

"Brother of the yamen runner, you are so angry, but you've broken the person at this time. If he can't walk up the mountain, then we won't spend the night on the mountain tonight? This... I don't want to be eaten by ghosts!"

Jiang Bai thought Lin Xiaoyue's words made sense, so he took back his whip and warned the man on the ground: "Dog, you're lucky! Next time, you'll wait to see the King of Hell!"

The man got up from the ground in pain, lowered his head and said to Lin Xiaoyue, "Thank you."

Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and whispered: "I want to be smarter after escaping. Let's go, I'm afraid of ghosts, so I'd better cross this mountain as soon as possible."

The man grabbed Lin Xiaoyue's clothes and said, "Is there anyone scary? My man, I, is a slave when I go to the north, and lives like a dog! But if you, a woman, will only be worse than a dog, and live a life of thousands of people riding. I can see that these two yamen runners are a little obedient to you, so why don't we run together to escape?"

Lin Xiaoyue was moved, but soon she calmed down again. She didn't know the man at all. Now she said it was a cooperation, but she might not be so stupid to use her as a cushion in the end!

"Thank you for your reminder, but everyone has their own fate, I don't want to escape."

The man's face turned dark in an instant and he said sarcastically: "I'm used to doing things, and I'll do the same wherever I go!"

Lin Xiaoyue knew that the man in front of her was implicitly mocking her as a prostitute, waiting for her to jump to her feet and stand honestly, but she is not a three-year-old child. She is full and full of food in competition with a stranger?

She even began to regret stopping Jiang Bo from sucking this man with poisonous mouth. As expected, people cannot meddle in other people's business, and they are prone to stuttering!

"What's your business?"

After replying coldly, she heard the two yamen runners Jiang Bai and He Yuan waving their whips and desperately urging the others to get up and prepare to go up the mountain, so she turned around and followed.

Yangming Mountain is not low. The more you go along the mountain road, the more Lin Xiaoyue feels that her calves are sore, and she becomes more difficult to lift her feet, and even her head becomes chaotic!

She glanced at the other prisoners tied with iron chains. These people were dragged down by the heavy chains and had difficulty walking!

Just at this speed, can you really cross this mountain before dark?

Suddenly, the appearance of a mountaineer in her previous life was flashing through her mind. She lowered her head and found a thick branch on the ground as a hiking pole, and walked up step by step with her branches.

With branches, the whole person seems to have support, and he doesn't have as much effort as before.

"Everyone should find a branch like me. It's too difficult to walk up the mountain!"

Others saw that Lin Xiaoyue was easier than before, and they also followed suit and started picking up branches on the ground.

Sure enough, this method is very useful, and everyone's speed is much faster than before.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaoyue with admiration. He deserved to be from the palace and his mind is just smart!

Alas, such a smart girl may really be told by her. The emperor will be thinking about her good deeds in a few days and want her to go back!

He walked to Lin Xiaoyue and said with a smile: "If you really can't walk, I'll let He Yuan rest here with you for a while. I'll take these people away first."

Lin Xiaoyue originally wanted to refuse, but looked up and met the hostile gaze of the man just now. Humph, some people disliked her so much, and she insisted on angering him to death!

So she nodded deliberately and said loudly: "Okay! Then thank you two yamen runners!"

"I don't agree! Why can she stay and rest? We still have to move forward?" The man's angry eyes were almost glaring out.

Jiang Bai picked up the whip and slapped it at him, "What are you? If you don't want to die here, just leave me!"

The man was so painful that he could hardly stand. He cut Lin Xiaoyue with a fierce look and gritted his teeth and walked up the mountain.

Lin Xiaoyue felt very proud and pretended to be at a loss and said, "I'd better follow you, otherwise someone will hate me to death!"

"Don't worry about that dog thing! Don't worry about rest here. Let's walk slowly and will wait for you in front of you." As he said that, Jiang Bai called He Yuan to give some advice, and then led the others to continue walking forward, "Let's go, go! Whoever is slow down, be careful to eat my whip!"

Although the rest were jealous of Lin Xiaoyue's special treatment, they were also afraid of being whipped, so they had to swallow the complaints and bury their heads and walk forward.

Lin Xiaoyue found a clean place to sit down, and looked at the team away, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In fact, since the prison chief of Shuntian Prefecture told her about the exile in the northern border, she had planned to escape, but unexpectedly, she was kind enough to help the man just now, but he was jealous of him!

Next, it would be even more difficult for her to escape. Not only did she deceive the eyes of Jiang Bai and He Yuan, the two yamen runners, but she also deceived the man just now!

What should she do?

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, she couldn't sit still, and stood up and said, "Let's go as soon as possible. If you can't get out of this mountain before dark, it will be troublesome!"

He Yuan nodded and walked to the front to lead the way, "Okay! Lao Jiang and the others have not gone very far. We should be able to keep up with them, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. She didn't want to follow the team so quickly. Now is a great opportunity to mark along the road, so that she will know how to avoid it if she runs away in the future!

She took out a small dagger from the space and hid it in her palm when He Yuan was not paying attention, and then walked next to the big tree on the roadside. She took a few steps and took a few steps to scratch the tree. Her movements were fast and careful, but she walked two or three steps slower than He Yuan.

Just as the dagger streaked across the tree, He Yuan suddenly turned around and stared at Li Xiaoyue with a vigilant look. He walked over and said: "What are you doing? If you don't walk in the middle, why are you walking on the side of the road full of weeds?"
