"Shut up!" Situ Jing said angrily: "Xiaohuan, how many times have I told you not to judge a book by its cover, have you forgotten it?"
Xiaohuan looked ashamed, lowered her head and said, "Miss, I was wrong."
Situ looked at Xiao Huan quietly, and after a while he said: "Xiao Huan, from now on, you can't say such things anymore, do you understand?"
"Yes, Miss. Xiaohuan will definitely not say it again." Xiaohuan said obediently.
Then, Situ Jing moved his position slightly, sat by the window, carefully opened a corner of the curtain, and looked outside.
After a while, Situ Jing suddenly lowered the curtain.
Xiaohuan didn't know what happened. Just when he was about to ask the lady why, he heard someone outside the car say: "Miss Situ, the bodyguard's body has been buried..."
The speaker is Guan Maochun.
Situ Jing paused for a moment and said, "Xiaohuan, let's get out of the car..."
"Ah?" Xiaohuan was shocked. She didn't understand why the young lady wanted to get out of the car again.
Situ Jing looked serious and said: "The dead are the most important! Are we going to leave like this without even looking at him?"
Only then did Xiaohuan understand that the young lady wanted to pay homage to the deceased.
Soon, Situ Jing and Xiao Huan got out of the car.
Guan Maochun became nervous when he saw Situ Jing coming out. He wanted to see her but didn't dare to look directly at her, so he had to take a sneak look at her.
But this sneak peek happened to be seen by the two women. Xiaohuan was very unhappy but did not dare to say it. Situ Jing's eyebrows also frowned slightly, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a time.
Situ Jing suddenly remembered something and said to Xiaohuan: "By the way, help me get the jar of wine I brought..."
"Miss, that wine was brought for the master," Xiaohuan said.
"Just take it if I tell you to." Situ Jing said angrily.
Xiaohuan did not dare to disobey the young lady, so she quickly returned to the car and retrieved an unopened small wine jar.
Situ Jing took Xiao Huan to the place where the bodyguards were buried. Xiao Huan found that the huge Fatty Lai and the surly Cheng Jiu were looking at the young lady, and she couldn't help but become nervous.
Situ Jing actually noticed that they were looking at her, but she still forced herself to remain calm and walked calmly to the graves of the guards.
Ge Hong stood beside the grave, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Situ, do you think this is okay?"
Situ Jing looked at the temporary grave bags and nodded seriously: "Thank you Ge Yingxiong, that's good. When we get to Ganquan County, I will ask my father to send someone over to send their bones back to their hometown."
Ge Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this. At this moment, he thought of those compatriots who died on the battlefield.
"Miss Situ is really kind-hearted," Ge Hong said.
Situ Jing shook his head, and then took the unopened wine jar from Xiao Huan's hand.
Holding the wine jar, Situ Jing walked slowly to the grave. She opened the mud seal and looked at the grave bag. She said softly: "Guys, Situ Jing should bear in mind the kindness of protecting his life. In the next life, he will tie a grass ring to repay you.
!”
After saying this, Situ Jing poured wine in front of the grave, and the aroma of the wine immediately overflowed.
"Wow, the wine smells so good..." Cheng Jiu stood aside and couldn't help but pick up his nose and take a few sniffs.
"Hmm..." Fatty Lai also followed suit and started sniffing.
Afterwards, Situ Jing placed the remaining half jar of wine in front of the grave, then took three steps back and led Xiao Huan to bow silently three times.
After Situ Jing finished bowing, Ge Hong said, "Miss Situ, could you please take a moment to speak?"
"Ge Yingxiong, please..." Situ Jing nodded and signaled.
At that moment, Ge Hong and Situ Jing walked aside to talk.
After a while, Cheng Jiu suddenly walked to the grave, grabbed half a jar of wine in front of the grave, put it under his nostrils and started to smell it.
"Wow, this wine is really delicious!" Cheng Jiu praised sincerely, thinking it would be a pity that such a good wine was wasted like this!
Just when he was about to take a sip, Xiaohuan suddenly ran over and stopped him: "What are you doing? You haven't put down the drink yet!"
Cheng Jiu was displeased, turned around and looked at Xiao Huan, put on a sinister look and said, "Who are you? How dare you yell at me?"
Xiao Huan was so frightened that he immediately took a step back and said in a trembling voice: "This... this wine is for the dead guards. You... you can't... you can't move.
..."
"Dead people can still drink?" Cheng Jiu suddenly sneered, raised his eyebrows and said: "I'm biased, what do you want me to do?"
After saying that, Cheng Jiu raised his head and took a big sip of wine into his mouth, then laughed heartily "hahaha".
"You...you..." Xiaohuan didn't know what to say, so he turned around and ran towards the lady.
Cheng Jiu's laughter alarmed Situ Jing. She turned around and saw that Cheng Jiu was drinking from the jar of wine in front of the grave, and her expression immediately turned ugly.
Situ Jing looked at Ge Hong with dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Ge Yingxiong, this is so disrespectful to the deceased!"
Ge Hong looked annoyed, turned around and walked towards Cheng Jiu, while Guan Maochun on the side hurriedly ran to support him.
"Fourth, put the wine back!" Ge Hong said with a straight face.
Guan Maochun also said: "Fourth brother, you can't drink this wine!"
Cheng Jiu glanced at Situ Jing first, then suddenly showed a trace of amusement on his face, and said nonchalantly: "If you don't want to drink, then I won't drink. What's the hurry..."
After saying that, Cheng Jiu put the wine jar back in front of the grave.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Jiu said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I drank the wine given by your lady, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Jiu walked towards Yu Tie, and Fatty Lai quickly followed after seeing this.
Xiaohuan grabbed Situ Jing's forearm and said angrily: "Miss, this person has gone too far!"
Situ Jing gently patted the back of Xiaohuan's hand and said patiently: "Forget it, stop talking."
Ge Hong turned around and apologized: "Miss Situ, I'm so sorry. This is the character of Lao Si. He actually doesn't mean any harm. Don't mind!"
Situ Jing shook his head gently and said nothing.
"By the way, Miss Situ, where were we talking about just now?" Ge Hong brought the topic back to the topic.
Situ Jing said: "Ge Yingxiong, I just mentioned that you want to escort us to Ganquan County as a bodyguard..."
"Yes, yes, that's it..." Ge Hong raised his hand and asked, "I wonder what Miss Situ thinks?"
Xiao Huan was shocked, and without much thought, he pulled the lady back a few steps and whispered: "Miss, you can't do this!"
Situ Jing asked: "Why not?"
Xiaohuan rolled his eyes towards Cheng Jiu in the distance and whispered: "Miss, I'm afraid of that person... that person..."
Situ Jing understood what Xiaohuan meant, and immediately said: "Xiaohuan, before we came here, they said that there were bandits making trouble in Yaozhou. We didn't believe it at first, but now we know that this is true! Now we have just entered the territory of Yaozhou and went to Ganquan County.
We still have to travel for at least five or six days. If there is no one to protect us and we encounter extremely vicious bandits, how will we protect ourselves?"
Xiaohuan couldn't answer. It wasn't that she didn't understand the truth, but she always felt that these people were not kind and would threaten the young lady's safety along the way.
Situ Jing reassured him: "Don't worry, Xiao Huan. This Ge Yingxiong seems to be a fairly upright man. With his restraint, others should not make too many mistakes."
Xiaohuan knew that the young lady had already made up her mind, so she had no choice but to nod her head.
Situ Jing returned to Ge Hong and said solemnly: "Yingxiong Ge, I am extremely grateful to you for your escort! When we arrive at Ganquan County successfully, Situ Jing will definitely reward you all!"
Ge Hong smiled and cupped his hands: "Miss Situ, you're welcome!"
Guan Maochun also bowed his hand to Situ Jing.
Situ Jing bowed politely and walked toward the carriage with Xiao Huan.
After lighting a stick of incense, Situ Jing's carriage and horses began to continue on their way along the official road.
Situ Jing and Xiao Huan were women and the owners of the carriage, so they naturally occupied the carriage without any dispute.
The seat in front of the coachman was reserved for the injured Ge Hong to avoid the fatigue of walking on foot.
As for the other four people, Yu Tie led the horse at the front, while Guan Maochun, Cheng Jiu and Fatty Lai followed at the back of the carriage with a few prisoners.
After walking for a while, Ge Hong suddenly heard Situ Jing asking him questions in the carriage.
"Ge Yingxiong, where were you originally planning to go?" Situ Jing asked.
Ge Hong gave a bitter smile and said: "I don't know, I have nowhere to go, so wherever I go..."
"It doesn't matter where you go?" Situ Jing's voice was a little surprised.
"Alas..." Ge Hong sighed helplessly and said slowly: "Miss Situ, our homes have been destroyed, and we don't know where to go..."
