On the vast ancient road, carriages slowly passed by. The sound was lonely and monotonous. The hooves of the horses knocked on the ground, splashing waves of sand.
This was a rather large caravan, with a total of a hundred people. There were also many cavalrymen around the carriage, about fifty of them, which was half of the total number. Although these cavalrymen could not compare to the regular cavalry, their strength was still not to be underestimated. At least, they were more than enough to deal with ordinary bandits.
Other than some guards, there were also some scattered mercenaries in the caravan. Their clothes were different and not uniform. They should have been summoned by the caravan to ensure their safety along the way.
In one of the carriages of the merchant group, a girl wearing a veil was carefully taking care of a man. The man's face was a little pale, a sickly pale, as if it was caused by excessive blood loss.
Although the man was unconscious, his face was well-defined, and his sword-like eyebrows were as black as ink. His entire face was exceptionally delicate. Even though he was unconscious, his body still revealed an indescribable otherworldly temperament.
The masked woman in front of him was using a pink handkerchief to wipe the dirt off his face. Her movements were especially gentle, as if she was treating her husband. Her eyes were filled with deep concern.
"Hmm…"
A soft moan that seemed to be in pain came from the unconscious man. Although it was not loud, the veiled woman could hear it.
Joy flashed in her eyes as she looked at the young man lying in front of her with anticipation.
He had been unconscious for a few days and still showed no signs of waking up. If it wasn't for his heartbeat and breathing, Da Qiao would have thought that he was dead…
That's right, the man lying on the carriage was Mu Lin, who had escaped from Little Pei City, and the masked girl who was taking care of him was Da Qiao.
That day, Mu Lin, who had escaped from Xiaopei City, was saved by Da Qiao, who had been waiting outside Xiaopei City for a long time.
It turned out that after parting ways with Mu Lin, Da Qiao did not return to River East. Instead, he followed the traces of the black armored heavy cavalry and rushed to Xiao Pei City.
At that time, Da Qiao didn't know why she had stayed. She only knew that if she didn't follow, what was about to happen would make her regret it for the rest of her life. Moreover, that matter was related to Mu Lin, who had held her hostage.
After some internal struggle, Da Qiao chose to follow.
Fortunately, Da Qiao had chosen to follow them. Otherwise, it was unknown whether Mu Lin was still alive or dead.
……
Slowly opening his eyes, Mu Lin realized that his body was shaking. He seemed to be lying on a carriage.
Did he not die?
The current Mu Lin only remembered that he had escaped from the joint attack of Zhang Fei and the others. However, he had not completely escaped from danger at that time. Zhang Fei and the others would definitely chase after him. Why hadn't he died? And it was on a carriage?
" Right, at that time, I…seemed to have fallen into a woman's arms…"
He suddenly remembered that when he fell down, he found himself hugged by a fragrant embrace. A person who could emit such a faint body fragrance naturally could not be a man.
Had he been saved? And it was a woman?
But who had saved him?
All sorts of doubts filled Mu Lin's heart, causing him to be at a loss.
"You're awake ~"
A faint female voice sounded beside Mu Lin, giving him a fright. He was deep in thought, yet he didn't even know that there was someone beside him!
In fact, this was not Mu Lin's fault. The current Mu Lin's internal injuries were very serious, and even basic movements were difficult. His perception was also extremely weak. In addition, Mu Lin was in a daze at that time, so it was not strange that he did not notice that there was someone beside him.
"Da Qiao?"
Even though Da Qiao was wearing a veil, Mu Lin was able to recognize her instantly.
" Mm, don't move first. The injuries in your body are still very serious."
A hint of worry flashed across Da Qiao's beautiful eyes. She stretched out her small hand and slowly placed it on Mu Lin's body that was about to sit up, indicating for Mu Lin not to be agitated and not to be in a hurry to sit up.
"Ahem…"
As expected, Mu Lin, who was just about to stand up, felt the wound in his body pull. The intense pain made Mu Lin suck in a breath of cold air. His originally pale face became even paler.
"I told you not to move ~"
Da Qiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his clear voice sounded a little reproachful.
This guy was really too much. Did he not know how serious the injuries in his body were? The injuries in his body were still healing. Any slight movement would directly affect his internal organs. The pain was small, but it would be even more troublesome if it involved the wounds in his body…
"That day…you saved me?"
After calming his breathing, Mu Lin could not help but smile bitterly.
The injuries in his body were extremely bad. He could not even stand up and walk, let alone fight…
Of course, Mu Lin was already very satisfied that he did not die.
It seemed that he was quite lucky. Under those circumstances, he actually didn't die and was even saved by someone…
"Yes ~"
Da Qiao didn't say anything else. He just nodded lightly, as if he didn't want to talk about how he had saved Mu Lin.
In fact, Da Qiao was really afraid that Mu Lin would ask her…Why did she save him? Even Da Qiao herself didn't know how to answer this question.
"Thank you for saving me…Right, where are we now?”
As if sensing that Da Qiao was unwilling to talk about saving him, Mu Lin didn't continue asking and changed the topic.
No matter what Da Qiao's motive was for saving him, Mu Lin only needed to confirm one thing. Da Qiao…had no ill intentions towards him.
If Da Qiao had any ill intentions towards him, he would have attacked him when he was unconscious. Moreover, she only needed to abandon him at that time, and he would die in the hands of Zhang Fei and the others sooner or later. It could be said that if Da Qiao wanted him to die, it would be very simple. He did not even need to do it himself.
"On the way to Xiapi City, I gave the owner of this caravan some silver and asked him to give us a ride to Xiapi City."
Da Qiao explained softly.
"Some silver?" Mu Lin was stunned.
"I gave him all my money…"
Da Qiao's face turned red and he seemed a little embarrassed.
How much money do you have on you?" Mu Lin had a premonition that Da Qiao had been tricked by the owner of this caravan!
"It's not a lot, just a few dozen taels of silver."
Da Qiao twisted his body, feeling as if he was being looked down upon by Mu Lin.
“……”
Da Qiao's words made Mu Lin speechless. Just a few dozen taels of silver?
It was just a few dozen taels of silver for picking up two people along the way. He could f * cking rob them!
Even though it wasn't his money, Mu Lin still felt his heart ache. It was as if he was the one who had been scammed, not Da Qiao.
At this moment, Mu Lin only wanted to say one thing to Da Qiao!
You prodigal woman!
I know you have money, but you can't spend it like this…
He remembered that when he was in Xiapi City, he had gone out to eat and drink, and he still had quite a bit of silver left…
Da Qiao's words were a little vague. A few dozen taels of silver could be ten taels or ninety-nine taels. However, from Da Qiao's bashful expression, Mu Lin knew without a doubt that the amount of silver that was scammed was definitely not less than fifty taels.
