On the way back, Jiang Xiaohua and Xiaoba were in a carriage, Jiang Hongzhi was in his own carriage, and his uncle and third uncle were in an ox cart.
Gu San was still crowded in the bullock cart with his uncle and third uncle as when he came.
Xiaoba sat in the carriage and sometimes touched the bottom, and sometimes opened the curtain and looked out.
"So novel?" Jiang Xiaohua asked with a smile while sitting on the carriage.
"Little master, this is my first time riding in a carriage!"
"Have you never sat down before?"
Xiaoba shook his head.
"Can you ride a horse?" Jiang Xiaohua asked, worried that the girl would remember the past and be sad.
"Yes! Butler Yu asked someone to teach him!"
"That's great, let's buy some horses later, and you can teach me how to ride!"
"Little master, you don't know how to ride a horse?" Xiaoba was surprised this time.
Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said: "No, that's why I met you, Xiaoba, you can teach me!"
Xiaoba nodded heavily: "Little master, don't worry, I'm the best at riding a horse! I promise to teach you!"
Out of the city.
After walking for about half an hour, someone came galloping over on horseback.
Xiaoba opened the car curtain and looked outside.
He was very disappointed and said: "My young master, he is a scholar in white!"
"Does it look good?"
"Not as good looking as you!"
An honest child’s words will be heard!
Jiang Xiaohua closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Yuan'an? Don't you want to stay a little longer?" the elder brother Jiang Hongzhi's voice said.
"After thinking about it, it's better to go back with you! There will be someone to take care of you on the way," Su Yu'an's voice sounded.
Jiang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows slightly.
What does it mean that this person always moves closer to me?
As expected, after Su Yu'an chatted with Jiang Hongzhi for a while, she walked to Jiang Xiaohua's carriage and said, "Miss Jiang, please forgive me!"
Jiang Xiaohua didn't even bother to open the curtain, and said in a lazy tone: "It's okay, the road is not mine, anyone can walk on it! It's up to you!"
Su Yu'an was not angry after hearing this, but instead laughed even more heartily.
Not long after, Su Yu'an handed over the horse to the people in the caravan and squeezed into Jiang Hongzhi's carriage. She really didn't regard herself as an outsider.
Another hour passed.
The people from the caravan came over and asked Jiang Xiaohua if Sandao Ridge was ahead of her. Should she rest where she was now or after climbing over Sandao Ridge?
Jiang Xiaohua thought for a moment and then said that she would rest after crossing Sandao Ridge.
The people from the caravan ran back and came back after a while. Outside Jiang Xiaohua's carriage, they said, "My young master agreed to cross Sandao Ridge first."
Before crossing Sandao Ridge, Awu asked the people in the caravan to show the Wen family's mark.
When we started to climb Sandaoling, another person came from behind the team.
It's a carriage.
Follow him not too far but not too far away.
The people from the caravan asked about it. They probably judged that the people in the carriage would not pose any danger, so they didn't tell Jiang Xiaohua.
Sandao Ridge is high and steep.
The speed of everyone's march slowed down.
It took a full two hours of walking to get out of Sandaoling.
People from the caravan came over and said there was an abandoned temple ahead and they would camp there tonight.
Jiang Xiaohua said yes.
Soon we arrived at the abandoned temple.
The people from the caravan came over and told Jiang Xiaohua that they could rest inside the temple.
Jiang Xiaohua asked Xiaoba to ask Jiang Hongzhi and others.
The eldest brother said it was not cold, so he could just rest on the carriage, and he happened to have a night chat with Su Yu'an.
As for the uncle and third uncle, they have to guard the luggage.
There is no need to ask Gu San, he has to keep vigil all night.
Jiang Xiaohua got off the carriage, took Xiaoba with her, and followed the man from the caravan into the temple.
This time the caravan was led by a young man named Awu.
At this time, Ah Wu was standing in the main hall of the temple, looking up at Master Guanyin in the main hall.
This temple looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.
In addition to the main hall, there are two side halls.
Everyone around A Wu was busy doing things. When he saw Jiang Xiaohua come in, A Wu turned around and said hello: "Miss Jiang!" Then he pointed to the side hall on the left and said to Jiang Xiaohua: "The room has been tidied up for you. The conditions are simple.
I’m sorry for Miss Jiang!”
"Thank you!" Jiang Xiaohua said her thanks without being pretentious, and took Xiao Ba into the side hall on the left.
When Ah Wu first met Jiang Xiaohua, he thought she was just an ordinary girl. After getting in touch with her, he began to realize that this girl was extraordinary.
For example, Miss Jiang said that we must keep a low profile on this trip, and everyone only needs to bring dry food.
The simpler the food and drink, the better.
Awu asked why.
Jiang Xiaohua looked up at her dark little face and said, "If you meet a few refugees on the road, just give them something to eat. What if you meet hundreds or thousands of refugees!"
Sure enough, not long after leaving Ganquan Mansion, the people patrolling behind the caravan came back to report that there were a lot of refugees following them.
Awujan speeds up the march of the team.
By the time we reached Sandaoling, there were far fewer refugees behind.
Everyone knows that the bandits on Sandaoling are very fierce.
Refugees don't dare to break in either.
There were also a few brave ones who followed the caravan across the Sandao Ridge.
The side hall was actually tidied up.
Jiang Xiaohua had a slight surprise. She didn't expect that the jade token given by Wen Niang was quite significant. Everyone who saw it looked up to Jiang Xiaohua.
There was no bed in the side hall, so Awu's people got a wooden board from somewhere.
There was a thick layer of grass underneath, and wooden boards were placed on top.
Jiang Xiaohua jumped on it and tried it. It was pretty good and stable. There was no need to worry about it falling down in the middle of the night.
Xiao Ba bumpily carried a mattress from the carriage and spread it on the wooden board. It was considered a bed.
The two simply ate some solid food in the side hall and planned to take a rest.
I still have to go on my way tomorrow!
Jiang Xiaohua lay on the bed, stroking her full belly, feeling so comfortable that she just wanted to hum.
I saw Xiaoba leaning on the bed and trying to lie down on the floor.
He glared at her: "Come up!"
Xiaoba didn't dare.
"Xiao Ba, you have so much flesh on your body that it's very comfortable to use as a pillow!" Jiang Xiaohua patted the open space beside her.
Xiaoba rarely used her not-so-smart mind to think about it and decided to take off her clothes.
Jiang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows: "What are you taking off your clothes for?"
"Little master, after folding the clothes, you can use them as pillows!"
"Can a pillow made of clothes compare to your fleshy arm?"
Xiaoba shook his head: "No!"
"I'm afraid of the cold at night! You have to warm my bed!"
Xiaoba hesitated for a moment, climbed up, and took the initiative to stretch out his strong arm: "Little master, you can sleep on my arm! There is a lot of flesh on the arm! If you are cold, just hug me, I tell you,
I’m so warm!”
Jiang Xiaohua squeezed Xiaoba's arm and it felt hard.
I regret it a bit. If I sleep on it all night, my neck will definitely hurt tomorrow.
But he still nodded against his will: "Not bad!"
As soon as the two of them got into their sleeping positions and prepared to fall asleep, they heard a noise outside.
Ah Wu was asking: "Go out and see, what happened?"
Soon someone ran out.
After a while, someone ran in. The sound was not loud enough that Jiang Xiaohua could not hear clearly.
Xiaoba didn't wait for Jiang Xiaohua's instructions and said, "I'll go out and ask."
Soon Xiaoba ran back: "Little master, it was the scholar in white who caused the trouble!"
