Across the Market

Chapter 162

It was the first time for Shen Yuzhu to ride in a carriage, and she only felt that the carriage was more spacious and bright than the mule and donkey carts, and it was very stable to sit in.

After leaving the city, she stretched out her hand and quietly opened the curtain, and saw that the big willow trees planted along the road had already sprouted green buds, and there were small birds chirping from far to near, as if it was the same as the spring days in the past .The cold winter is gone, so is the burnout and laziness, and the whole person seems to be full of strength.

"It's so beautiful outside. Look, the willows are sprouting." Shen Yuzhu closed her eyes and took a breath, satisfied, "I seem to smell the fragrance of flowers, sweet."

"There are peach blossoms over there." Sister Nuan's eyes were sharp, and she saw a pale pink peach forest in the bend of the villa not far away, and the branches were covered with bulging flower buds.

"Pear Blossom Village is not far ahead, but you have to go through the forest in front." Seeing the girls poking their heads out, Shen Yulou pointed forward while holding the horsewhip, "The road there is more winding. Make some twists and turns, Ah Lu, make sure your carriage is stable, don't shake your sisters."

Zhu Lu listened to the words in his heart, and sure enough, he reined in the horse tightly and slowed down the speed of the horse.

The sun shines into the grove, and the warm lines are cut into small pieces by the branches that have grown green leaves. The sun shines on the ground, reflecting the mottled leaves, forming dots of various sizes. Hey, the chirping of insects and birds in the ear is even more lively.

It was the first time for Sister Nuan to go out for a long time, and everything looked fresh. She lay down by the window, poking her head outside all the time.

Seeing a black shadow flashing past behind the big tree not far away, she let out a soft "Hey", then stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes vigorously, a knife was reflected on her eyes, she stretched out her hand to block it, and became more and more curious She kept staring in that direction, and when the carriage turned a corner, she clearly saw a man in black hiding behind a big tree with a knife in his hand, and his face was still covered with a black cloth.

Just as she was about to yell, the carriage in front of her swayed, and Sister Nuan fell into the carriage.

"Second Sister, I saw strange people over there. They covered their faces." Sister Nuan fell into Zhu Xi's arms, stretched out her hand and pointed lightly, her round face wrinkled, looking scared.

Originally, few people came to the grove, and there were no other sounds in it except insects and birds. Zhu Xi was also faintly afraid. Hearing what the little sister said, her heart trembled even more, and then she opened the side door. Curtain, I want to take a look.

It happened that a carriage was driving towards him. In order to make room for the carriage on the other side, Zhu Lu turned the carriage he was on to one side. Zhu Xi shook his body, and the moment he opened the curtain, he just wiped The curtain on the side of the passing carriage was blown by the wind, and the two carriages were very close, and she could clearly see the people sitting in the opposite carriage.

A man in his twenties, wearing a dark blue wide-sleeved Confucian shirt, sat upright with a serious face.

As if he sensed someone's gaze, the man also looked towards Zhu Xi, seeing that it was a young girl, his brows were slightly frowned, his black eyes were bottomless, and it was hard to find out what was going on in his heart. what to think.Sitting next to him was a girl with flower bud hair combed, who looked only three or four years old, and was half-slung in the arms of a middle-aged woman.

Seeing that someone saw Zhu Xi, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he quickly put down the curtain, his heart pounding.

At this moment, the horse outside suddenly neighed, and then came the voice of Shen Yulou telling them to get down.Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of weapons colliding.

The girls in the carriage were all frightened, and Zhu Fu was also stunned. Compared with the previous accident where the horse was frightened, it was obvious that this time she was more frightened and bewildered.He only hugged his younger sister tightly in his arms, then shrunk to a corner, not daring to breathe, his eyes widened.

There was the sound of fighting outside, Zhu Fu saw that the danger did not reach him, so he quietly opened a small corner of the curtain, and outside he saw his elder brother, elder brother Shen, and a young man in dark blue clothes holding hands with a group of people. The black-clothed masked men with big swords began to fight.

The enemy is holding a big sword, but his own people are only bare-handed, and the enemy has a large number of people, so it is inevitable that Zhu Fu will not be worried about his brothers.

I don't know if this group of people are just robbers on the mountain, or who they are targeting. If the robbers are robbing, there is no need to cover up, but if they are targeting people... Zhu Fu thought for a while, and he My family has always had a good attitude in doing business, and is kind and shouldn't offend people.

If you offend people, I'm afraid it's only those old witches who came to ask for money a few days ago and didn't give them, so they hold a grudge?
