"A strange tree with lots of copper coins hanging on it."
It turned out to be a tree! Senior Brother, he didn't fool himself.
Feeling relieved for some reason, Xie Lingyun decided to find an opportunity tomorrow to apologize to... No, if anyone was going to apologize, he should be the first one to apologize, because he was so fierce at the beginning!
.......................
The moon was rising above the branches and everyone in the team fell asleep, except Fang Rong, who was in charge of patrolling.
After circling the carriage again and again, the man finally showed determination in his eyes.
He quietly climbed onto the horse and lashed the whip in his hand hard.
Snapped--
The sleeping horse did not run away after being awakened by the whip, but continued to sleep standing up as if it had not noticed anything.
Ok?
Fang Rong's face changed, and he whipped the horse pulling the cart twice, leaving its skin and flesh torn, but it still had no effect.
There was a sudden sound of breaking air, and the man ducked in panic.
But willow-leaf darts kept coming at him, and in just a few breaths, Fang Rong was forced off his horse.
"The escort leader usually uses a long sword. I forgot that hidden weapons are what you are really good at."
Except for Xie Lingyun who had just woken up and was still confused, the other people in the team had already surrounded Fang Rong tacitly.
"Do you know that it is Marquis Changle's property?"
"I know"
"You know? You're still so confused even though you know!"
Yu Sheng shouted angrily, "The Marquis has thousands of followers. Do you really think you can escape? Fang Rong, Fang Rong, not only are you courting death, you're also trying to kill us all!"
"..."
The man's face was miserable. To be honest, he didn't think he could escape from Wu by stealing the treasure.
But, I can’t bear it anymore, I don’t want to bear it anymore!
There was no begging for mercy, nor did he rely on his martial arts to break out of the siege.
Fang Rong simply turned around and walked towards the carriage like a possessed man.
"Fang Rong, Fang Rong, Fang Rong!"
When the third shout ended, Yu Sheng swung the willow leaf dart with a grim face.
The sharp blade penetrated into his vitals. Fang Rong's eyes widened, and he finally reached out his hand in vain towards the carriage.
"Baby, my, my baby."
With a thud, the man's body fell to the ground.
Two men quickly carried the body away and buried it, while Yu Sheng unscrewed a small gourd and shook it under the horse's nose.
"Xi Lulu——"
While reaching out his hand to soothe the horse that was in pain, Yu Sheng smiled at Tangtang who was dazedly sticking her little head out.
"There was a little dispute, but it's all right now."
"Go back to sleep, the night is still long."
....................
After all this commotion, Tangtang was probably the only one who could continue to sleep.
Xie Lingyun came to Yu Sheng silently and stared at him without saying a word.
"Ask anything you want to ask."
Yu Sheng sighed: "I'm sorry to involve you, but if I didn't nod at that time, Fang Rong would probably get angry on the spot."
It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just Fang Rong, but the situation was delicate at that time. Once Fang Rong took action, everyone else would probably follow suit.
"Brother, the remaining two are missing, could it be that..."
"That's right"
"What's in the carriage?" Xie Lingyun asked angrily and fearfully.
"Haha, didn't I tell you long ago that it's a money tree!"
Chapter 019 This time and that time
What money tree? I think it's an evil thing that harms people!
Suddenly remembering that the little girl was still sleeping in the carriage, Xie Lingyun hurriedly wanted to carry Tangtang out.
But before she could get close, several escorts stopped the carriage with expressionless faces.
"Junior sister, come back."
Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "According to the team's rules, you can only get on the car when it's your turn to water the plants."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, that little girl is an exception."
Tangtang is harmless, there is no need for everyone to be on guard against her, Xie Lingyun thought this was what his senior brother meant.
Of course Yu Sheng did have such an idea, but if we think further, if Tangtang couldn't resist her curiosity and something really happened...a person who is deeply bewitched by evil things but can't do anything harmful, isn't he the perfect watering person!
"I won't get in the car, but can I ask Tangtang to get down?" Xie Lingyun stomped his feet and said hatefully.
"..."
After a moment's silence, Yu Sheng nodded tiredly to the escorts.
They looked at each other, and finally chose to respect the authority of the escort leader and retreated silently.
It was a different time at that time. At that time, Yu Sheng made all kinds of excuses and refused to fulfill his watering duties no matter what. Naturally, the morale of the team was low.
But today he is willing to work together and share the pressure, so everyone recognized him as the leader again.
"Tangtang, Tangtang!"
Xie Lingyun shouted loudly outside the carriage, and finally, the little girl got out of the carriage, rubbing her eyes.
"Thank you, what's the matter?"
"Come, let's sleep in a spacious place today."
Letting Tangtang rest her head on his thighs, the sleepy little girl soon fell asleep again.
Xie Lingyun's mind was in a mess. She stared at Yu Sheng and said a few words silently.
You shouldn't have accepted this escort mission!
Yu Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to even smile bitterly.
It is true that we should not accept the call, but it is not a question of whether or not we should accept it. Fu'an Escort Agency has no choice at all.
.............
"what--"
As she was woken up before daybreak to continue her journey, and having been woken up twice last night, the little girl was in a bad mood today.
Being held by Xie Lingyun and sitting on the horse's back, Tangtang yawned continuously, and his little head nodded from time to time.
"Captain, it's almost time."
Yu Sheng nodded after being reminded. His gaze passed over his junior sister's face and fell on Tangtang.
"Tangtang" Yu Sheng said with a kind smile: "Uncle has something to ask of you."
Xie Lingyun looked at Yu Sheng in disbelief, she already knew that these people had bad intentions in calling Tangtang, but, but these words were actually spoken by her own senior brother!
"It's none of Tangtang's business, let her go, I'll take her place!"
Impossible, the remaining road needs to be watered at least twice.
Tangtang once, you once, there is no way I will let her go.
"Junior sister, at this point, neither you nor I can change anything."
Yu Sheng said seriously: "Don't be impulsive. Your mediocre skills will only hurt others and yourself."
Yu Sheng said this when they met in Qulan Town. At that time, Xie Lingyun was just angry when he heard it.
It was not until this moment that she truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
"..."
Looking at the little girl in his arms who was dozing off and about to fall asleep, Xie Lingyun said in a deep voice: "Brother, can you let me go first?"
"Yes, but you must hand over all your thirty-three willow leaf darts."
Xie Lingyun handed over her weapon without hesitation, because she felt that even without the willow leaf dart, she could destroy the evil creature with her bare hands.
How could Yu Sheng not know what his junior sister was thinking?
He handed over a few strips of cloth without even saying a word about considering the consequences.
"Cover your eyes and plug your ears, and try not to see or hear."
After saying this, Yu Sheng finally showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Humph!"
Xie Lingyun snorted coldly, picked up the watering can, and got on the carriage nimbly.
..............
Blindfold your eyes, plug your ears, and throw the watering can aside.
Xie Lingyun stretched out his hand and quickly touched the branches of the money tree through the cloth.
Branches...are they really branches?
Why is its shape so much like a hand?
Xie Lingyun got goose bumps all over her body because she felt her hand being grabbed by another hand!
He took a half step back and a crashing sound was heard.
It sounded like the branches and leaves stretching out, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal collision.
Even though he had blocked his ears, Xie Lingyun could still hear the sound clearly.
Dry mouth and pounding heart.
She tore off the cloth in front of her eyes like a possessed person, tearing off the cloth covering the money tree.
The thick branches are like arms, with five forks in front of each arm.
The copper coins were strung together with a thin red thread, and there was exactly one coin under all the forks.
Blah, blah—
Arms were shaking, fingers were wiggling.
Blah, blah—
The sound of copper coins colliding with each other was indescribably pleasant to the ears.
"Junior sister, water the plants!"
A loud shout came from outside the car. It was Yu Sheng.
"Water it, and come out immediately after watering!"
Xie Lingyun bit his tongue hard, picked up the kettle and poured some water on the evil creature.
Without even having the cloth to cover herself, she jumped backwards and fell to the ground in a miserable state.
............
Helping the little girl for the time being was already the best help Xie Lingyun could offer. But the next day, the heavy responsibility of watering still fell on Tangtang's tender shoulders.
"Junior sister didn't cover the tree properly yesterday. Tangtang, you can water the tree as soon as you enter the carriage. Remember, water the tree as soon as you enter the carriage!"
Yu Sheng kept repeating these words over and over again, and the little girl's ears were almost callused from hearing them.
