Hua Xiaogu actually spent the Dragon Boat Festival on the road. Thinking about it, Hua Xiaogu felt a little desolate. She asked the coachman to find a place to stop the carriage temporarily, and she jumped out of the carriage to buy some things. Tian Lanqing had no choice but to order
Everyone was waiting. Hua Xiaogu bought a lot of mugwort, pampas grass and other plants, and picked out a few small rice dumplings to take with her, and then returned to the carriage.
Tian Lanqing looked at a cart full of moxa and found it funny: "Why did you buy so many mugwort leaves?"
Hua Xiaogu shook his head: "Although we are traveling, we still have to pay attention to the festive atmosphere. Besides, the Dragon Boat Festival is the day when the five poisons are infested. Buy some of these for good luck and bless our next trip smoothly, no?
?"
"Okay, as long as you like it." Tian Lanqing nodded, stretched out his index finger and tapped Hua Xiaogu's forehead: "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
"Gone."
"Then let's set off."
At this moment, Hua Xiaogu didn't know that it was his own whim that saved four of their lives.
After You hour, the sky gradually darkened. Everyone was a little panicked. It turned out that Tianlu had already planned the itinerary. It seemed that the distance from the previous town to the next was close, but the roads were all mountainous. The mountainous roads were not good.
If I walk, the journey will take longer. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the next town before dark.
After experiencing the black shop, everyone has never been on the road at night again, not to mention that now with Mo Laoqi, they can't make any mistakes.
As soon as it got dark, Hua Xiaogu became a little flustered.
She opened the curtains, stuck her head out, and shouted to the carriage behind her: "Yong'an, how far do we have to go before we get there?"
Yong'an got out of the carriage, sat on the carriage board, first replied, "Wait, wait," then took out a candle with difficulty to light it, squinted at the map, and looked around for a long time, and then replied: "It should be almost here, it will be over."
After passing this village, the next town is no more than ten miles away."
Hua Xiaogu looked at the gloomy woods and narrow roads around him, sighed inwardly, and retracted into the carriage.
"We really shouldn't be in a hurry." Hua Xiaogu said, looking up at Tian Lanqing.
"I'm just a little impatient." Tian Lanqing shook his head: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some solid food?"
Before Hua Xiaogu could shake his head, he heard a shrill neigh of horses coming from outside the carriage, and then the carriage jolted violently.
Hua Xiaogu couldn't sit firmly and almost fell out of the carriage. Tian Lanqing stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and heard the sound of the coachman scolding the horse outside.
"What's going on?" Tian Lanqing grabbed the window frame of the carriage with one hand and hugged Hua Xiaogu's waist with the other. The carriage bumped and rolled, and the coachman couldn't stop even after scolding him for a long time.
"Master! The horse is frightened!" The coachman shouted loudly with a hint of panic in his voice.
Hua Xiaogu stretched out his hand to open the door of the carriage and took a look outside. Sure enough, the horse seemed to be struggling like crazy. In the dark night, the white horse looked particularly clear, and something seemed to be wrapped around its dancing hooves. Hua Xiaogu swallowed.
, carefully identified it and then loudly said to the driver: "Hurry up and untie the shaft! The horse was frightened by the snake!"
The coachman turned around and was about to untie the shaft, but suddenly the horse jolted him out of the carriage. Seeing the carriage running around uncontrollably, Hua Xiaogu gritted his teeth and said to Tian Lanqing: "Hold me!"
Tian Lanqing naturally grasped Hua Xiaogu tightly, and then saw Hua Xiaogu let go of his hands, leaning forward and leaning out of the carriage, reaching out to untie the horse.
