Chapter 59
After the sun shrank into the distance little by little, the heat lost its source and finally gradually retreated.
The cicadas that had been clamoring for the whole day also began to calm down.
In the empty wilderness, a figure gradually approached along the winding official road.
The person who came was wearing a bag slanted on his back, which seemed to be a tourist who left home.
A blue shirt and a luster scarf, looks like a scholar-in-law.
The heat is unbearable. I raised my hand to wipe my forehead from time to time while walking, and my sleeves were covered with wet sweat stains.
After walking under the shade of a tree, I picked left and right and found a piece of clean turf, and then I sat down.
Although there is no sun, the shade of trees is still much cooler without sunlight.
I took off my burden, took out a steamed bun, hesitated for a while, and finally opened my mouth to eat.
It was very easy to chew, but it was difficult to swallow. I had to take out my water bag and drool before swallowing the steamed bun.
At this time, the afterglow of the sun was still there, and a ray of light passed through the shade of the tree and fell on the human face. The white skin not only shone faintly around, but also made his eyes look like night stars, and his blue pupils shine like blue waves.
The person who came was the woman who disguised herself as a man and helped the Zhou Qinchuan brothers escape from the trouble that morning, but also criticized Zhou Qinchuan as a liar.
At this time, he was still dressed in a man, but after a day of running around, his expression was exhausted.
There were also a few stains on my clothes. If I looked closely, there were still a lot of dust on it, and I lost the glory of that day.
The woman swallowed the steamed buns with water, feeling a little annoyed.
Yesterday, the scammer was delayed in the inn by a silly man, but he ended up missing the only carriage in the town that was traveling north every three days.
She was unwilling to stay in the town for another two days. Although Uncle Zhong said that after entering Shandong, he had already left the territory of Nanzhili, no matter how long the enemy's hands were, he could not reach here, so there was no need to be as in a hurry as before.
Uncle Shun also said that most of the enemies have succeeded, and they have no interest or strength to attack others. You can rest assured.
But the woman was a little worried after all. She was alone and no one could take care of her anymore. Everything had to be dependent on herself. She must not make any mistakes. It is better not to stay in a place for too long.
In the small town by the canal, she has been recuperating in the inn for two days because of her greed for ease, but she dare not delay any more.
This is why I have to walk alone and go on the road.
However, although she was angry at the rude and abominable person in the inn, the woman did not regret her righteous wealth yesterday. Although she was not at ease now, she could still afford the little money.
Especially the child who can speak when he smiles... Alas, if Ah, if Brother Ah can escape this disaster, he will be of such a big and tall.
Shaking his head, the woman cleared her messy thoughts and frowned and continued to deal with the steamed buns in front of her.
I bought this steamed bun for dry food before leaving yesterday. I originally had a long journey and dried pancakes were more suitable and were not easy to be destroyed.
However, she was born in Jiangnan and has always been mainly rice, so it is really difficult to adapt to this pasta.
It would be fine to steam the buns, but they were softer and less difficult to eat. If she had changed to dry pancakes, she would probably not be able to swallow them at all.
After finally eating a steamed bun, the woman touched her belly, obviously she was still not satisfied and had not eaten enough.
These steamed buns were specially selected before she left. They were not big. Even if they were a daughter, they had to eat at least two or three at a time to fill their stomachs.
Thinking about the dry food in the bag, it was so difficult to swallow, and the woman finally gave up the idea of eating another one.
Let it go, wait until you are hungry before eating.
Then I began to worry about where to stay tonight.
Logically speaking, she is a young girl who is just 20 years old and is just walking alone, which is somewhat uneasy.
However, the canal is densely populated on both sides and the official road is also on, so there is no fear of thieves during the day.
As for the disciples, who can look down on her appearance? The girl secretly laughed at her.
Then I thought of the silly man in the inn yesterday, and the naked and stunning feeling in his eyes was not adulterated at all.
A big stupid guy, that's a big stupid guy!
When the woman thought of that look, she cursed in shame and annoyance. She didn't know how many years this big man had never touched a woman, and could even become that stupid when he saw himself.
But a trace of joy of being valued quietly emerged in her heart, but she had never even noticed it herself.
Oh, what's wrong? The woman was so embarrassed that she reorganized her thoughts and considered the issue of spending the night tonight.
In the past, she used to ride cars and horses. She was familiar with these cars and horses and horses and horses and horses and horses and was always able to send guests to places where they could rest, with food and accommodation, and no need to worry about it.
When this woman was on the road alone yesterday, she had not thought about the accommodation issue except bringing all kinds of clean water and dry food.
However, I was not worried about Qianlu Village and Town.
Even without the prosperous market town and Shanghao Inn, it is not impossible for ordinary families to stay in ordinary villages. If the family is in trouble, I am no longer the eldest lady, and I cannot pay much attention to it.
Yesterday afternoon, she arrived at a farm at the first juncture (after 6 pm), so she decided to stay here for the night. With the appearance of a woman dressed in a man and her unremarkable appearance, she found a family who was willing to take her in and spent the night smoothly.
But tonight is different. It is now the beginning of You (after 5 pm), and there is still a wilderness everywhere. As far as you see, there is no shadow of half a village, only the sound of the river flowing in the distance and the wheat waves in the surrounding fields.
Do you really want to sleep in the wild? The woman couldn't help but silence. She had never had such an experience in the past.
When she thought of the boundless darkness and the countless demons and monsters in the darkness, she shuddered.
No, the woman stood up and no matter what, she could not spend the night alone in the wild. It would be better to find a village to stay in someone else's house like last night, even if it was a little later.
At worst... At worst, I have to find a few passers-by and spend the long night together. I am alone, so I really don’t have the courage to face the night alone.
As for personal safety, haha, let’s talk about it when you meet someone.
The woman carried her bags vigorously and galloped along the official road.
After sitting for a while, I ate another steamed bun, and my physical strength has recovered. Of course, I have to take advantage of the darkness and rush more roads.
As the sky got darker, the woman's heart became colder and more desperate.
Along the way, there was no trace of people, and there was no sign of people. The intention of staying in the village or spending the night with others was about to fail.
When it was dark, the woman felt even more sad. At this time, she was tired and hungry and wanted to sit down and rest, but the fear in her heart motivated her not to stop, but she just walked with her legs mechanically and walked in a daze.
Fortunately, the stars and moons are all in the sky. Although they are not a full moon, they are enough to illuminate the surroundings so that nothing can be seen.
