Chapter 444: Cyclone? A special carriage
When they arrived at the city gate, Wang Wu was already waiting. When he saw them coming, he got off the carriage and greeted them. He took their bags. Seeing that they were lightly dressed, he almost didn't recognize them. The two of them were dressed simply, completely different from their usual glamorous appearance. They looked like ordinary merchant girls. And they only brought so few things? He asked in surprise, "Auntie, you only brought so few things. Are you looking down on the border valley?"
"Just drive your car well and don't ask questions that are not necessary." Shan Wei warned coldly.
"Okay, I get it, I'll shut up." Wang Wu covered his mouth.
"When you are out, don't call me Miss Shen. Just call me Miss." Yao Qingnian deliberately changed into less eye-catching clothes.
"Yes, miss. By the way, what do you think of this carriage?"
"It looks ordinary, nothing special, but the horse is pretty good." Yao Qingnian said lightly.
"Miss, you have good taste. I selected this horse carefully, so of course it's good. However, this carriage looks ordinary from the outside, but it may not be so good inside. Please come in, Miss." Wang Wu made a gesture of invitation.
When she lifted the carriage curtain, she was pleasantly surprised to see a small bed big enough for her to lie down on. There was also a table with a lot of snacks and picture books on it. Yao Qingnian nodded in satisfaction. She didn't expect Wang Wuren, who looked big and strong with murderous looks, to be so careful in doing things. "Well, this carriage is well prepared. You can sit or lie down as you like."
"I'm glad you like it. I had secretly planned to take my mother for a ride in this carriage. Now that she's gone, it comes in handy this time so it's not a waste. The journey is so long and I was worried you'd be bored, so I specially bought you some snacks and a few picture books to help you pass the time." Wang Wu choked up a little when talking about his mother, but soon he broke into a carefree smile.
"Well, the dead cannot be resurrected, and the living should look forward. Okay, let's go." After Yao Qingnian and Shan Wei got on the carriage, he told him to set off.
"Okay! Sit tight, let's go! Go!" Wang Wu waved the whip and went farther and farther away from the capital.
As the carriage moved along, it suddenly sped up unconsciously.
"Wang Wu, what's wrong?"
"Miss, it seems like someone is following us."
"Huh? I was targeted right after I left the capital?"
"I don't know, but I feel that the other party is quite skilled and is a martial artist." Wang Wu became more alert.
"Don't be nervous, we just need to walk normally. If he dares to come over, we will take action."
"Okay, miss." Wang Wu slowed down.
At noon, Yao Qingnian and others found a place to get off the carriage to rest. They took out three buckets of instant noodles from the space, boiled water, and prepared to eat one bucket each.
"Miss, what is this? It smells so good!" Wang Wu's mouth almost watered when he smelled the fragrance. He couldn't help but ask, "This thing is weird. Are there words on the bowl? How can it smell so good just by adding some boiling water?"
Shan Wei had eaten it once and had always remembered the taste. Now he was eating it for the second time. It was not as exaggerated as Wang Wu’s, but it still tasted very fragrant.
"Instant noodles." Shan Wei said.
The instant noodles were ready and the aroma wafted around. People not far away smelled it and finally couldn't help but run out.
Wang Wu was drooling and about to take a bite. He had never eaten noodles so delicious before. When he saw someone coming out, he had to put down the instant noodles in his hand and went forward to fight with him: "You finally decided to come out? But you came out at such an inopportune time, disturbing me while I was eating noodles. Tell me, why are you following us?"
Unexpectedly, the man had no intention of getting entangled with him. Instead, he dodged his attack, ran to where he had just put the instant noodles, picked them up and started eating: "Husband... Miss, it's me."
This person was none other than Xuanfeng who followed Lu Huaijin. After taking a bite, Xuanfeng couldn't help but sigh and thought, "Oh, I really envy Shanwei. Following the lady, he must be able to eat delicious food often. Unlike me, I follow the master, sleeping in the open air, and I have lost weight."
"You kid! You have no moral ethics and actually stole my instant noodles! Give it back to me!" Wang Wu was furious when he saw that the bucket of fragrant noodles was eaten by the young boy who suddenly appeared.
"No, come and get it."
"Just wait for me!" After saying that, Wang Wu rushed over. When he finally took the box from his hand, there was only an empty box left. It was clean as even the soup had been drunk.
"Oh! I'm not full yet and I want to eat more! Miss, is there any more?" Xuanfeng ran to Yao Qingnian.
"Give me back my face." Wang Wu chased after him and the two started fighting again.
Yao Qingnian sweatdropped: "Okay, stop it!"
"Miss, where did this brat come from?" Wang Wu couldn't beat him and could only stand there angrily.
"Um, it's a long story. Tornado, why are you here?"
"The master asked me to protect you. Going to the border is full of dangers. He was worried about you, so he asked me to follow you."
"You know him, miss?"
"Yeah." Yao Qingnian brought out a few more buckets of instant noodles for them. Wang Wu felt a little better. He finished a bucket of noodles in just a few bites, and then ate another bucket. He still wasn't satisfied, but he was too embarrassed to ask for more, so he could only lick his lips and give up.
He looked at Xuanfeng, very unhappy, rolled his eyes and didn't talk to him. Xuanfeng joined them. Except for stopping at noon to rest and eat something, he was on the road all the time. Before dark, he arrived at Yan'an City, which was the closest to the capital. Yan'an was an outpost from the capital to the border. This may be an important place for military assembly and material transportation. It has relatively strong walls and defense facilities to resist small-scale invasions that may come from outside. There is a lively market in the town, providing supplies for passers-by and the army.
To go to the border, you need to pass through Yan'an City, Tonglai Town, Pingchuan County, Liangsha City, Jiading Pass, and finally go from Jiading to Youquan Village, and you will reach the intersection of the border canyon.
Yao Qingnian and his friends found an inn to rest for the night and set out again early the next morning. In ancient times, people would not travel after dark, unlike modern times, where you can travel whenever you want, 24 hours a day.
"Dear guests, would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?" The waiter greeted them warmly when he saw them come in.
"Let's stay in the hotel and prepare three good rooms." Shan Wei ordered, one for the young lady, one for her, and one for Xuanfeng and Wang Wu.
"Can you open another room? I don't want to sleep with this brat." Wang Wu protested.
"sure!"
"Well, waiter, add one more..."
"You pay for it yourself." Shan Wei interrupted.
"Forget it then." His pockets were empty and he had no money at all, so he could only make do with what he had.
