Xu Zhiyi couldn't see anything unusual about Bai Qing. She quickly lowered the curtains and asked with concern: "Sister Bai, are you okay?"
Bai Qing rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, cleared her throat and said, "It's okay. The coachman hasn't slept all night. You two probably don't know how to drive. I'll go and let him rest."
Lin Xixue nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She could probably guess that Bai Qing might have been a refugee before, and there was a high probability that some extremely unpleasant things had happened during this period.
Otherwise, why would you bite your back molars so hard when you say the four words "Change your child and eat it"?
However, everyone has things in their heart that they don't want to say. Bai Qing doesn't want to say it, so naturally she won't forcefully ask questions.
"Thank you for staying up all night. Go inside and rest. I'll support you for a while."
"Ah, Master Bai Xian, how can I let you do such a rough job!" the coachman said in fear.
"If you are asked to go, you go. We still have more than a month to reach the East China Sea. If you don't get enough rest, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if the car overturns on the mountainous road?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Master Bai Xian said yes!"
The coachman pulled up his sleeves, wiped the riding crop clean, handed it to Bai Qing, then bowed deeply, climbed into the carriage on his knees, met Lin Xixue and Xu Zhiyi, and bowed several times.
"You two ladies, my name is Niu Zhuang. I'm a rough guy and don't know any etiquette. If I bump into you two, just say so and I will definitely change it!"
Lin Xixue smiled and returned the favor: "Brother Niu, just do what you want."
Niu Zhuang got the answer, took out two cooking cakes from his bag, bit into them and the crumbs fell out, and the greasy crumbs fell all over the floor.
When Xu Zhiyi saw Bai Qing leaving the carriage, she leaned towards Lin Xixue and whispered: "Sister Lin"
Lin Xixue understood that she was most likely going to talk to him about time travel, so she immediately stopped her words with a wink. After all, although Bai Qing went out, who knew whether she used her spiritual consciousness to monitor the surrounding movements.
Traveling through time is no small matter, and communication must be conducted under a safe environment.
Xu Zhiyi quickly understood what Lin Xixue meant, nodded imperceptibly and stopped talking. But there was no entertainment in the carriage, so she had to hold Lin Xixue's arm and close her eyes to take a nap.
After Bai Qing took over the carriage, the carriage stopped for a moment before continuing to move forward.
Lin Xixue released her spiritual consciousness and clearly saw Bai Qing turning back to find the children who had just dug the Guanyin soil. As for what she had done, it was beyond the scope of her spiritual consciousness.
Bai Qing flew back soon and drove as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Niu Zhuang finished eating the cooking cake, gathered up the oil residue scattered on the ground, grabbed a handful and put it into his mouth, then stuck his hand out of the window, clapped his hands, and then showed an honest smile to Lin Xixue.
Maybe he was really tired, so he turned sideways, put his bag and arms under his neck, and fell asleep completely before long.
In just one cup of tea, the car was already filled with the sound of snoring, which was also mixed with the sound of grinding teeth and inarticulate talking in sleep.
Lin Xixue's stiff face twitched slightly. She didn't have any objections to the coachman. After all, this was a problem caused by physiological factors and could not be changed subjectively by the coachman. But it was indeed too noisy, which inevitably made people a little upset.
chaos.
Before that, she had always thought that snoring like thunder was an exaggeration, but today she realized that it was simply reality.
But what can I do? Just endure it.
She picked up a pillow and covered her ears, and simply rested.
By the evening, Bai Qing had already driven into Sucheng. After issuing the seal, the Yunzhou Prefecture in the city naturally cooperated fully and replaced the two tired horses from driving all night with two energetic horses.
In addition, a special banquet was held to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust, and three people were invited to the banquet. The coachman Niu Zhuang also benefited from the honor and was received.
Bai Qing did not need to eat, but considering that Xu Zhiyi had not yet started practicing, she did not refuse.
She said to Xu Zhiyi and Niu Zhuang: "We have been tired after traveling all night. Let's freshen up later and go to the banquet. After two hours, when everyone is full and full, we will set off."
Lin Xixue knew that she couldn't stand these earthly fireworks, but she still looked forward to washing up. After all, she hadn't washed up properly a few times since time traveling.
Several maids were waiting on her, burning incense, bathing, and flexing her shoulders and neck, but the silver needles on her body attracted the attention of the maids.
"Miss, do you need your servant to remove these three silver needles from your body?"
"Don't worry about it, just avoid it."
"Slave, please obey."
After kneading her shoulders and neck, Lin Xixue naturally felt relaxed, but she didn't know why. There were various petals floating in the water in front of her, vaguely reflecting the refugees outside Xinliang City and the people digging Guanyin soil beside the official road.
A child.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
She suddenly felt a little guilty, but she also felt that this feeling of guilt was a bit sour, even hypocritical.
After all, all I can do now is some worthless sympathy, and I can't change anything.
But she soon began to doubt this conclusion.
Is there really nothing I can change?
Education, medical treatment, agriculture, a series of knowledge flashed through her mind.
And when she thought of the beautiful woman in Xinliang City who was still willing to defend the perpetrators after suffering atrocities, she felt that the world was indeed hopeless.
But why did the beautiful woman become like that?
It is not difficult to understand that a person who has received such an education since childhood will naturally have his mind trapped in such a cage.
If this beautiful woman is unwilling to fly out even if she opens the cage, is there really anyone in this world who is worthy of being saved?
Maybe those children who are digging Guanyin soil on the roadside can still be saved?
But I don't have the energy to save others now. Tianzun's whereabouts are unknown, but I still fall into hallucinations from time to time. I still have the restrictions planted by Bai Qing, and I have endless bad things to solve.
"Miss, do you need some hot water for you?" The maid interrupted her thoughts.
Lin Xixue did not answer her question, but asked instead: "What is your name?"
"Miss Hui, my name is Hong'er."
"Hong'er, when did you come to Yunzhou Mansion to become a servant?"
"Miss Hui, I entered Yunzhou Mansion when I was twelve years old. This year I am sixteen years old."
"You and I are about the same age, but you have to serve me. Don't you have any resentment in your heart?"
When Hong'er heard Lin Xixue's question, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and said in horror: "I don't dare. Even if the young lady lends me 110,000 courages, I will never dare to resent the young lady at all."
"There is no one else here. You can tell the truth. I will not blame you, let alone tell others your answer." Lin Xixue said sincerely.
"Slave." Hong'er bit her tongue, "How could I not have any resentment, but what can I do? Compared with those women who became refugees due to drought, military disasters, and fell into the dust of the world, I am already a hundred times a thousand times better."
"I have grievances, but what can I do? I have been a lowly person since I was born, and I will never be able to turn around." Although Hong'er's voice was angry, it was surprisingly calm.
Lin Xixue nodded and continued to ask: "Are there many people around you who think the same as you?"
"There is no one else but me who thinks this way. If Miss wants to punish her, just come to me alone." Hong'er looked solemn and solemn.
When Lin Xixue saw her looking like she was going to die generously, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"One last question for you."
