Chapter 286 Can't run, hey
This group of people sent two carriages to pick up Zhao Ce and others.
Naturally, it was impossible for the two boatmen to just let them go.
They were pushed into the carriage and were almost stared at by Wu Xueli and others.
Wu Xueli sneered: "You don't think you can leave after harming us, do you?"
The two boatmen cried and said: "We really don't know. They came to the shore to find us in the middle of the night last night and said they wanted to ask you for help."
"Then we are asked to row to the branch of the river next to it, stop for a while, and they will ask you what happened and then let you go."
"We thought about it and realized that there wasn't too many detours there, so we chose that route."
"If only I had known..."
Zhao Ce glanced at them and said coldly: "Shut up!"
The two boatmen received his murderous look and did not dare to speak.
They got a huge reward, but they didn't know if their lives were spent even after receiving the reward.
Thinking like this, both of them felt extremely regretful.
Su Cai'er sat aside, leaning against her husband with cold hands and feet.
Zhao Ce ignored them, lowered his head, and touched the little girl's face.
"Not afraid."
Su Cai'er didn't care about the other people in the car and rested her head on her husband's arm.
Wu Xueli sighed.
"Zhao Ce, if it weren't for us, you would definitely be able to take your sister-in-law away."
Naturally, they all know Zhao Ce's force value.
If they don't go with Zhao Ce this time, then these people will definitely not be able to threaten Zhao Ce.
Zhao Ce shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this."
"Really speaking, it's because of me that you have suffered too."
Wu Xueli said angrily: "We five scholars, are they really going to do something?"
Zhao Ce said calmly: "Probably not."
Ordinary bandits will only steal all their money when they see a scholar.
It's basically not life-threatening.
What's more, Zhao Ce was the first to win two cases, which was when he was most famous.
They will definitely not harm them and attract the attention of the government.
Just this helps...
I don't know when they will let them go.
The hospital examination will be in three or four months, and they don't have so much time to spend with them.
Wu Xueli said distractedly: "Aren't they in the stone carving business? Why do they look as barbaric as those bandits? I praise them for their righteousness."
"Obviously we don't want to, but they insist on inviting us to go."
Zhao Ce didn't speak any more, and only gently stroked Su Cai'er's back, which was stiff due to nervousness.
This carriage did not stop halfway and kept running forward.
The road in the mountains is extremely bumpy.
Not to mention two women, even a few candidates couldn't stand it.
At night, the group camped directly in the wild.
It seems that even when they are deep in the mountains, they are not afraid of people running away.
They didn't even watch them much.
Let a few of them gather around a fire to discuss their own affairs.
The two boatmen did not dare to approach these people for fear of being pierced by their eyes.
I just wanted to beg these people to let them go first.
As you can imagine, the result is that it returns without success...
Lao Gu brought a basin of hot water over, and the people behind him also brought a drinking bowl and some dry food.
Several people glanced at him and quickly looked away.
Lao Gu put down his things and said with a smile: "Let's all have a good rest tonight. We will walk for half a day tomorrow and it will be almost done."
Looking at his impeccable smile, Wu Xueli's mouth twitched.
But now their lives are in other people's hands, and if it comes to their mouths, they still swallow it.
Qiu Shubai's face didn't look too good either. He supported his mother and carefully fed him some hot water that he had just brought.
How have these people who have lived in peace their entire lives experienced this?
After a whole day of bumping in the mountains, several men could no longer bear it.
Lao Gu glanced at Mr. Lu and said, "I have some medicine here. Can I get some for you?"
Qiu Shubai said dullly: "No need, I'm afraid what you brought us was poison."
Lao Gu didn't mind, and still smiled and said: "How could it be?"
"We are all businessmen. There is no need or intention to kill people."
"As long as you finish helping us, I will have someone send you back properly."
Everyone was a little less interested in what he said.
After Lao Gu said this, he was not embarrassed when no one answered him.
He left his things behind and returned to his group.
Zhao Ce is still energetic.
He poured some hot water from the basin, wetted the handkerchief, wrung it out, and wiped Su Caier's face next to her.
Su Cai'er raised her little face and said: "Husband, I will do it myself... Uh@##!@"
Zhao Ce didn't stop and wiped her face directly, then held her hand and wiped it again.
After wiping, I gave her some hot water to drink.
Su Cai'er finally recovered from the motion sickness and felt a little more comfortable.
Seeing Mrs. Lu's weak look, Su Cai'er suddenly remembered that Mrs. Li had prepared some seasickness herbs for her and her husband when they were going out.
She thought for a while and spoke to Zhao Ce, who nodded.
He took her to the carriage, opened the luggage they had loaded into the carriage, and started rummaging through it.
After finding it, Zhao Ce asked Su Cai'er to go back and sit there while he took the medicine to find Lao Gu.
"Want to borrow a pot to cook medicine?"
Lao Gu took a look, nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he took a pot with hot water in it and handed it to Zhao Ce.
Zhao Ce took it over and didn't even bother soaking it. He poured the medicine in and put it on the fire to cook.
The others all took dry food and began to nibble slowly.
After the smell of the medicine came out, Zhao Ce asked everyone to drink a little.
After drinking, several men gathered around the fire and reluctantly fell asleep on the spot.
Zhao Ce took Su Caier and slept on one of the carriages.
Su Cai'er nestled in his arms and whispered: "Husband, where are we going?"
Zhao Ce kissed her: "I don't know, I guess it's in the mountains."
"Don't be afraid, they won't hurt us."
Su Cai'er closed her eyes and said "Yeah".
"Don't be afraid, my husband will protect me."
Zhao Ce hugged her and patted her back gently.
...
Early the next morning.
Then he started on his way again.
It must be that the seasickness herbs given by Mrs. Li have worked, and several people's faces have improved a bit.
The carriage ran for most of the day.
Although the car windows were sealed, the smell of salty earth still penetrated everyone's noses.
The further the carriage went inside, the stronger the smell of salty earth became, and it became more and more muggy.
Finally, the carriage stopped.
Chapter completed!
