Xu Yanxin held her hand, only to find that her hands were cold. She was so frightened that she thought Lu Yunzhu had suffered from the cold, so she quickly rubbed Lu Yunzhu's hands.
It had rained and the road was slippery, so their carriage moved very slowly.
Xu Yanxin opened the curtain and took a look worriedly, wondering where he had gone?
As a result, she unexpectedly saw a group of people riding on horseback not far away. They seemed to be from the government. She put down the curtain and said to Lu Yunzhu: "It's the Chinese New Year, and people from the government office are still out to do business."
This sentence woke up Lu Yunzhu, and she remembered what was wrong.
That was when she was in the mountains and forests, and she clearly heard an exclamation, and the voice sounded like a girl's.
But Lao Zhuangtou said that the ginseng digger was a man, and because the footprints were very thick, it was wrong.
"Wait, let's not leave yet!"
Lu Yunzhu said and opened the car curtain.
At this time, she saw the team that was about to pass them by. The leader was wearing a raincoat, and water dropped down his face, revealing a resolute and extraordinary face. He turned out to be Huang Shaoyu!
"Brother Huang!" Lu Yunzhu shouted.
Huang Shaoyu reined in the reins, as if he didn't expect to meet them here.
Xu Xiao and Yao Yu stopped the carriage and prepared to say hello to Huang Shaoyu.
Lu Yunzhu was lying by the car window and shouted nervously: "Brother Huang, come here, I have something to tell you!"
Huang Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, but he still dismounted and walked over.
Lu Yunzhu seized the opportunity and said: "I seem to have seen a girl today and she was arrested, but I am not sure."
Huang Shaoyu's eyes changed and he quickly asked: "Where is it!"
Lu Yunzhu couldn't name the place, so she immediately said: "Xu Xiao knows, let him take you there!"
"That man dug ginseng and ate it. Is he physically injured? You have to hurry up, because I'm afraid he won't be able to take the girl away and will kill her!"
When Lu Yunzhu said this, she seemed very nervous. She clasped her hands on the car window, as if she was blaming herself or feeling sad.
Huang Shaoyu said: "Don't worry, that is his sister, he probably won't kill her."
"You guys go home quickly and don't come out!"
After Huang Shaoyu finished speaking, he went to find Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao also broke out in a cold sweat when he learned that the fugitive who committed murder in the capital was probably near his Zhuangzi.
He immediately said to Yao Yu and Pei Shan: "Escort Yan Xin and Yunzhu back quickly. I will go with Mr. Huang."
Pei Shan looked at their anxious backs and felt something was wrong, but he didn't say anything.
But after he and Yao Yu got on the carriage, as the carriage moved, he asked Yao Yu: "When we were at the village just now, everyone left. Is there anyone watching the carriage?"
Yao Yu said: "There shouldn't be, right? Wasn't the carriage hitched later? The coachmen are only responsible for looking after the horses, feeding the horses, and taking care of what the carriage is driving?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and his face looked very strange.
Pei Shan continued: "Our carriage on the way back is going very slowly, isn't it?"
Yao Yu's expression was not very good, and he murmured: "It's not right, let the girls go in front first, because their carriage is a bit slow."
Pei Shandao: "We went out to play and brought very little luggage. How could we be so slow?"
Yao Yu couldn't answer, and his expression gradually became serious.
At this time, Pei Shan slowly opened the curtain and looked at the carriage in front of him. The driver was sitting on the edge of the carriage, wearing a bamboo hat. But when he raised his head, he could clearly see that it was not an unfamiliar face.
Suddenly, Pei Shan jumped off the carriage.
"Wait, stop." He shouted, pulling the carriage in front to a stop.
Both carriages stopped. Pei Shan opened the curtain and said to Lu Yunzhu inside: "Little sister-in-law, you go and take the carriage in the back. I have something to say to Yan Xin."
Lu Yunzhu said in surprise: "Yes...really?"
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Xu Yanxin, fearing there would be some misunderstanding.
As a result, Xu Yanxin was also looking at Pei Shan and seemed surprised, but she did not refuse.
Seeing this, Lu Yunzhu had no choice but to say: "Okay, but please hurry up and say it before others see it."
After saying this, she quickly got out of the car and got into the car behind her.
Pei Shan also drove the driver away. It was not raining outside. He pulled Xu Yanxin out and the two of them sat in the driver's seat.
Although Xu Yanxin looked confused, she still cooperated with Pei Shan and sat next to him.
Pei Shan said: "I'll teach you how to drive a cart. Let's go slower. Maybe we can wait until your brother and the others return."
Xu Yan thought to himself that if his brother took Mr. Huang and others to arrest people, they would not be able to come back for a while.
But then she saw Pei Shan's eyes, which were deep and solemn and reserved, as if he was telling her something important.
Xu Yanxin's body was stiff, and her heart was pounding. She wasn't afraid, but just in disbelief.
My brother is going to help Mr. Huang catch the fugitive, and Yunzhu happens to know a little bit of inside information. Their carriage drove out from that place...
Most importantly, how could Pei Shan, a gentle and considerate person like him, let Yunzhu ride in a carriage with Yao Yu? Obviously, Pei Shan had other things to do.
If this thing is true, the consequences are really unimaginable.
Xu Yanxin held the reins and said to Pei Shan: "I know you like me. My brother is not here anyway, so there is no need for you to beat around the bush."
"I'm telling you, it's useless whatever you do. If you don't have money and can't get the gift I want, I won't marry you."
Pei Shan raised the corners of his mouth, and a smile slowly flowed from his eyes.
He found that Xu Yanxin was really smart, and she seemed to have a mental connection with him, as if his hidden words didn't need to be explained clearly.
So he asked half jokingly, half seriously: "How much do you want as a bride price?"
Xu Yanxin's cheeks turned red, and her voice was unconsciously shy. She whispered: "You can't afford it anyway!"
Pei Shandao: "How do you know I can't afford it if you don't tell me? I can sell calligraphy and paintings, I can go to my family to find a solution, but I won't wrong you."
Xu Yan wanted to throw the reins in his face. Why did he suddenly become so bad and insist on following her words?
He clearly knew that she did it on purpose just now.
Xu Yanxin pursed her lips and stared at him angrily, her eyes were red, and she didn't know how much gift she wanted.
She could only say dullly: "Five thousand taels."
Pei Shan smiled and wanted to touch her little head. Why is she so cute?
Five thousand taels? If he had given it, the mistress might have chased him all over the street with a feather duster and said that he still wanted to get a wife, and there was no sincerity at all.
Pei Shan held Xu Yanxin's hand. He saw the city gate, which was very close.
Xu Yanxin seemed to have guessed what he was going to do. She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.
The moment the carriage approached the city gate, Pei Shan hugged Xu Yan and said in his heart: "Jump!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them jumped out of the carriage together. Xu Yanxin couldn't keep his balance and almost fell down.
It was Pei Shan who held her firmly. At the same time, he said to the guard at the city gate: "There is a fugitive under the carriage, be careful!"
As he finished speaking, a tall figure rolled out from the bottom of the carriage.
