Chapter 355 Qingzhi, walk slower
"Are you really kind?"
Lin Shuyue sneered, his aura suddenly changed, the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and the sword made a "humming" sound.
"If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude!"
The Liuguang Sword pointed directly at the middle-aged man.
Qinghe and Qingzhi also drew their swords and stared at him with unfriendly expressions.
"I'll get out of the way, I'll get out of the way, don't do anything."
The middle-aged man had never seen such a scene before. His face turned pale instantly and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Lin Shuyue glanced at the man indifferently, retracted the sword, and turned back to the carriage with Qinghe.
Just as she was about to enter the carriage, someone in the team suddenly shouted at her, "Girl, when we cross the mountain later, if you encounter bandits, you must keep the carriage steady and be careful of the bandits rolling rocks down the cliff."
Lin Shuyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with regular features and a short beard. He was accompanied by a young man who looked somewhat like him.
There was a hint of concern on the faces of both of them. Lin Shuyue's expression eased slightly, and she smiled and clasped her fists to thank him: "Thank you for the reminder, uncle. I will pay attention to it."
Afterwards, Qingzhi drove the carriage past the middle-aged man and the group of vendors and headed towards Duangui Ridge.
As soon as they walked away, the middle-aged man's expression changed immediately. He tried to save his dignity and said, "Bah, a little girl. I was just giving in to her. Do you really think I'm afraid of her?"
After saying that, he looked at the short-bearded man who had just reminded Lin Shuyue and said sarcastically, "Boss Lin is kind-hearted. Who knows, he might be scolding you in his heart for meddling in other people's business."
"you....."
The young man next to the short-bearded man was very unhappy when he heard what he said. He was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by the short-bearded man: "Erhu, don't be impulsive."
He then bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Boss Zhao, please don't be offended. I hope you can forgive my son's misbehavior."
Boss Zhao snorted coldly and turned his head away, no longer looking at him.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" The young man looked at his father unhappily.
The short-bearded man shook his head at him, then whispered in Erhu's ear, "Be careful, don't get too close to those two when you cross the ridge."
Erhu nodded immediately. He knew who the two people his father was referring to. It was obvious that these two people were hiding evil intentions.
The other man who had been blocking the road with him rolled his eyes and looked at Boss Zhao. "Don't be angry, Brother Zhao. It's better to let her go first. It's a good opportunity to see if there are any bandits ambushing on the ridge. It can be considered as scout out the way for everyone."
"I think what Boss Liu said makes sense. How about we follow them now? If she can cross the ridge safely, we will catch up with her as soon as possible?" Someone in the team's eyes lit up instantly.
"We've all been waiting here all morning and haven't seen many people. How about we just follow that girl?"
"Yes, yes, that girl dared to cross the mountain alone. She must have something to rely on. Let's follow her. If something happens, she can't just stand by and watch us die, right..."
“…”
Many vendors agreed at once, saying that it was already nearly noon, and if they delayed any longer the sun would set.
Soon, after a brief tug of war, the team of vendors packed up their things and prepared to hit the road. Boss Zhao could only follow the team with a sullen face.
At this moment, Lin Shuyue and his group of four had arrived at Duangui Ridge. Qinghe sat on the shaft of the carriage with a sword in hand to accompany Qingzhi.
Hearing the noise coming from behind, she turned around and saw the vendors following them not far behind. She was a little confused at first, but then she thought about it and immediately understood what they were planning. She speechlessly told her mistress about the situation.
"It's okay, let them follow if they want." Lin Shuyue didn't care.
Why don’t those people think about whether the bandits would be more willing to prey on an ordinary passing carriage, or on merchants who have goods and money?
Just as Lin Shuyue thought, a group of bandits had been lying in ambush on Duangui Ridge early on.
"Second in command, that group of people has finally moved." A short and thin man looked at the team coming towards this side from not far away and felt a little excited.
The second in command grinned, "Damn it, I've been waiting here for so long, and these people finally came."
"Then will the carriage in front let him go?" the short and thin man asked him.
"Let it go, why not?"
The second in command looked sideways at him with a look of "How could you be so stupid?" "You are stupid, if we go down to stop that carriage, those people behind us will definitely shrink back after seeing it.
It's obvious that the carriage doesn't belong to a wealthy family. There's no need to throw away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds."
"Oh." The short and thin man nodded foolishly.
"Let's go."
Qinghe and Qingzhi looked at each other.
"drive..."
The carriage entered the narrow mountain road of Duanguiling, and moved slowly forward along the side of the mountain wall.
Qing He glanced at the bottomless cliff on the right, and her scalp suddenly went numb. She drew her sword and looked around vigilantly with a tense face.
The group of vendors parked in front of Duangui Ridge were also staring nervously at the carriage in front of them.
Time passed little by little, and Lin Shuyue's carriage had safely reached the middle of the Duanguiling mountain road.
Lin Shuyue lifted the car window curtain and glanced up the mountain wall. Suddenly, she said, "If they were smarter, they would still have time to catch up."
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Gousheng was confused and looked at her with his big eyes blinking.
"It's okay." Lin Shuyue smiled and shook her head.
The group of merchants who had stopped in front of Broken Turtle Ridge saw that the carriage in front of them had reached the middle of the mountain and was still safe and sound. Someone suggested, "Why don't we just follow it now?"
Boss Zhao, who was standing at the front, glanced back at him and said, "What do you know? What if those bandits are waiting at the other end of the mountain road?"
"That's right, let's wait until she passes by first."
“…”
Boss Lin in the team looked at the carriage in front of him going farther and farther away, and for some reason he felt more and more panicked.
He glanced at the calm Boss Zhao, thought for a moment, and said through gritted teeth, "Erhu, hurry up and catch up with the mule cart. We're leaving now."
"father?"
Lin Erhu was a little confused, but seeing that his father looked unhappy, he stopped asking questions and obediently turned around and got on his mule cart.
Boss Lin also got on his mule cart and said hello to Boss Zhao: "Boss Zhao, I won't wait any longer. We'll go first."
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Boss Zhao to speak, he whipped the mule cart out of the team and headed towards Duanguiling, with Lin Erhu's mule cart following closely behind.
"Hey, what's going on with Boss Lin?"
"Who knows..."
The other vendors were confused. Boss Zhao didn't expect the father and son to be so disrespectful to him, and his face immediately darkened.
Here, Qingzhi drove the carriage steadily on the mountain road. As they were about to leave Duangui Ridge, the surroundings were still quiet.
At this moment, Lin Shuyue in the carriage suddenly shouted to Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, walk slower."
