After a while, the horse was untied, the carriage and the horse were separated, and a crazy white shadow was seen running out, neighing, and gradually disappearing into the depths of the woods, while the carriage continued to move forward due to inertia, and finally
It hit a tree hard and stopped.
Hua Xiaogu bumped into Tian Lanqing's arms, her heart pounding, and it took a long time before she dared to open her eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay." Tian Lanqing gently patted Hua Xiaogu's shoulder. There was a silence in the carriage, only the sound of the two breathing. After a while, the coachman who had fallen out ran over quickly: "Master...
...Master! Are you okay?"
Hua Xiaogu took a deep breath and shouted in a hoarse voice: "It's okay. Yongan's horses weren't shocked, were they?"
The horses in Yong'an's carriage were indeed not surprised. However, there was only one horse in the two carriages, and there was no way to continue on the road no matter what. They sat helplessly on the carriage board, holding Hua Xiaogu
He looked at the moon that was already high in the sky with his cheeks.
Yong'an scratched his head, with a look of regret on his face: "Is it possible that we have to stay here tonight?"
Tian Lanqing shook his head and said to Yong'an: "Let's do this. It's only about ten miles away from the next town anyway. Just ride your horse and go there first, find the Tian family and then bring them over to pick us up."
When Hua Xiaogu heard this, she nodded. She found the saddle and harness from the back of the carriage and gave them to Yongan: "We are waiting for you here. You go and come back quickly. That's right!" Hua Xiaogu said.
, suddenly remembering something, she turned around and took out a lot of mugwort and pampas grass she bought during the day from the carriage: "Fortunately, the ones I bought are all dry, thank God..."
After that, Hua Xiaogu took out the mugwort leaves, stepped on the end with one foot, and rubbed the leaves with both hands. After a while, the dry mugwort leaves and pampas grass were twisted into a rough straw rope.
"Light this on fire. You can ride on horseback with this to find someone who can repel snakes and insects, so that our only hope will not encounter mishaps." Hua Xiaogu said and handed the straw rope to Yong'an.
The straw rope was lit with a candle, and dark red sparks were seen hidden in the straw rope. Then, thick smoke floated out. Yongan choked heavily and sneezed several times. He frowned and pulled
Holding on to the straw rope, he mounted the horse and said, "I'll go right away, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Yong'an took the map and rode his horse out of the woods in a hurry.
Hua Xiaogu sighed and squatted down, smiled bitterly and said to Tian Lanqing and Mo Laoqi: "We can only wait now. I'll pick up some wood and light a fire."
Not daring to go far, Hua Xiaogu only dared to search for some dead wood a few steps around the two carriages. Tian Lanqing and Mo Laoqi originally wanted to help, but the wood they found was either too big or too small.
It was too humid to be used. Hua Xiaogu had a lot of experience in surviving in the wild. She simply settled the two useless men in the same place and started busy looking around.
After a while, a fire gradually lit up. Hua Xiaogu threw some mugwort leaves into the fire from time to time, which indirectly prevented snakes and insects.
"It seems that God asked me to buy these mugworts today, otherwise we would have to be very worried." Hua Xiaogu was enjoying the hardships, but he was very optimistic.
However, she is optimistic at the moment, but some people hidden not far around are no longer optimistic.
A man in black, with a black cloth covering his face, fanned the incense in his hand outwards again and again. Finally, he could only curse angrily, throw the incense on the ground, and stamp it out.
