Chapter 348
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua had misunderstood her, Little Orange thought about it, then gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, you guessed right. Ren Xiaoyao, I do want to pee, so please … can you hide behind the carriage?"
Zhang Xiaohua was startled, then smiled, revealing her white teeth. "Of course, I'll go right now."
Then she jumped off the carriage and walked to the other side.
After Zhang Xiaohua left, Little Orange gently placed Miss Nie's hand on her body, then slowly and painstakingly got off the carriage. She looked behind the carriage and said, "Ren Xiaoyao, you're not allowed to peek."
"OMG ~" Zhang Xiaohua almost fell. She thought, Do I have to do this?
"If I wanted to look, I could've just used my divine sense. Why would I need to peek?
Plus, do you think I don't know what you're doing? "
As expected, Little Orange carefully walked and looked behind her. She walked to the place where the vice hall master had fallen off his horse last night. She looked left and right and saw several corpses lying there. Because of the fear last night, no one saw the vice hall master's face clearly. Little Orange had no choice but to crouch down and search the corpses one by one. Soon, she found a small brocade box from one of the corpses. Little Orange was overjoyed and looked behind her again. She didn't see Zhang Xiaohua peeking.
Little Orange stood up and put away the brocade box. She was about to go back, but her brows furrowed slightly and she finally walked behind a small tree with a red face. She only came out after a while.
After she left, some strange sounds entered Zhang Xiaohua's ears. Zhang Xiaohua also blushed a bit and muttered in her heart, Aiyo, luckily I knew what she was going to do, so I didn't release my divine sense. Otherwise … However, Zhang Xiaohua now had a good impression of this bold and scheming little girl. She no longer criticized her like she did when they first met.
When Little Orange got onto the carriage, she called for Zhang Xiaohua to come out. Zhang Xiaohua tactfully didn't ask anything. She got onto the carriage, shook the reins, and imitated the coachman, shouting, "Hyah ~"
The black horse was very obedient. It exerted force with its four hooves and slowly pulled the carriage forward.
However, the many corpses in the field also tested Zhang Xiaohua's skills. There were several times when she had to get out of the car and drag the corpses to the side. Huanhuan had been standing quietly by the side of the road, occasionally eating the weeds on the side of the road. Now that it saw Zhang Xiaohua driving over, it also screamed happily and followed her. There was no need for Zhang Xiaohua to call out to it.
Little Orange, who was in the carriage, was very surprised.
She originally wanted to ask out of curiosity, but looking at the young miss lying on the sickbed next to her, how could she still be in the mood?
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Little Orange, do you think we should go forward or back?"
Little Orange said, "Of course we're going forward."
"But I remember that there's a village not too far behind us. Maybe there's a doctor there."
"Let's go forward. Our escorts are supposed to go forward. Maybe we'll meet them after we walk for a while."
Little Orange said it like it was real. In fact, she had neglected one point. Zhang Xiaohua had seen their eight escorts before. If Zhang Xiaohua had looked carefully at the corpses, she would definitely have seen them at the scene. How could there be an extra bodyguard?
But in Little Orange's eyes, Zhang Xiaohua was just a young man from the countryside. How could he be so scheming? So she directly ignored him!
Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to expose her lie. In his heart, he had only met these two girls by chance. It was just in life or on this journey. He wouldn't have any interactions with them at all. All he had to do was help them drive the carriage to the town ahead. At most, he would help them find an escort agency and let a real escort escort them to where they were supposed to go.
"I'm not a curious baby, so why should I care about you?"
It didn't take long for them to reach the main road. Zhang Xiaohua didn't care about the two maidservants in the carriage and focused on driving the carriage. Although he hadn't really driven a carriage before, the horses he used to pull the carriage were trained by others. They were much better than ordinary horses, so he didn't have to worry too much about them. Moreover, the carriage didn't go very fast, so naturally, it became more and more convenient for him.
Sitting in the carriage, Little Orange could feel that the carriage wasn't going very fast. Although she was burning with anxiety, she didn't want to rush them. It wasn't until it was almost noon that they arrived at a slightly larger town. The first thing Zhang Xiaohua did when he entered the town was to find out if there were any escort agencies or medical centers in the town. Unfortunately, the town was too small, so no escort agencies were interested in this place. Fortunately, there were still medical centers around. Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be negligent and chose the largest one to drive the carriage over.
Miss Nie's wrist was broken, so Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to move it too much. He wanted to get the doctor to take a look at her in the carriage, but the doctor only sat in the hall and didn't come out. He only asked them to send the patient over. Later, Little Orange had to secretly bribe him with some silver before he was willing to go out to see the patient. Zhang Xiaohua was depressed. Everyone said that doctors should treat their patients with care, but why was this doctor like this?
Because he had received the silver, the doctor was especially meticulous. After examining her, he frowned slightly. Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Is there a problem?"
The doctor was puzzled and said, "From the way you bandaged her and the medicine you applied, they're all excellent. It looks like you're only slightly worse than me, so how did you get a fever and faint?"
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said, "I just met a wandering doctor on the side of the road and treated him carelessly. I only rushed over because I didn't know that you're a skilled doctor."
The doctor was very pleased and said with a smile, "I was wondering why it was like this. It turns out that you didn't treat her properly and didn't use any professional tools to fix her wrist. This is simple and is just a small test for me. Please wait a moment."
The doctor was also very professional. Not long after, he fixed Miss Nie's wrist and wrote a prescription with a stroke of his pen. He then asked the medical center's staff to brew the medicine according to the prescription. Little Orange was still worried, so he carefully read the prescription before agreeing to brew the medicine.
After the medicine was brewed, Little Orange carefully fed it to Miss Nie. Zhang Xiaohua carried a lot of medicine bags and put them on the carriage before driving the carriage away from the medical center.
When they reached the side of the road, Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Little Orange, do you think we should continue to walk forward, or …"
He didn't finish his sentence and wanted to let Little Orange choose to go forward. However, Little Orange had his own ideas and said with difficulty, "Ren Xiaoyao, can I trouble you to find an inn first?
It's not good for Miss Nie's health if she continues to travel like this. "
Zhang Xiaohua sighed. Why didn't he know that patients needed rest the most?
However, he was also in a hurry to go home. His family in the Guozhuang House hadn't heard from him for four years. His mother must be missing him every day. He just wanted to hurry back.
Forget it. Anyway, a few days won't make a difference. I'll wait until I find an escort agency.
After making up his mind, Zhang Xiaohua wanted to drive the carriage to find an inn. However, just as he was about to start the carriage, Zhang Xiaohua thought of something. He turned around and asked, "Little Orange, I have an idea. Do you think it'll work?"
Little Orange said, "What is it? Just say it."
"Here's the thing. I saw so many corpses in front of your carriage this morning. You said that someone wanted to kill you and steal your things. Do you think they will send people to chase you again?"
"That's right!"
Little Orange heard this and his expression changed greatly. He said, "Ren Xiaoyao, you're right. They will definitely send people to kill us again. What do you think we should do?"
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. 'How would I know? This has nothing to do with me at all. I don't know where you guys are from or where the people who want to kill you are from. I can't even tell who's good and who's evil.'
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua said, "Since they can chase after you, I'm sure they must have some clues. Maybe it's the carriage, or maybe it's your looks. Looks can't be changed, but carriages can be changed.
Don't you think so? "
"That's right, Ren Xiaoyao. You're so smart. Are you really a farmer in the countryside?"
Little Orange clapped his hands and praised him.
Zhang Xiaohua shook his head proudly and thought to himself, 'What do you mean by that?'
Following that, Zhang Xiaohua said, "Let's get out of this town first. Once we're out, you guys can wait here. I'll come back and find a carriage to pick you guys up. What do you think?"
Of course, Little Orange would follow Zhang Xiaohua's lead.
Thus, Zhang Xiaohua drove the carriage onto the main road. After traveling for a while, they turned into a secluded area. Zhang Xiaohua tied the black horse to a tree and prepared to ride the deer back to town.
At this moment, Little Orange stuck his head out of the carriage and called out, "Ren Xiaoyao, you —"
Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Is there something else?"
Little Orange looked at him eagerly and asked, "You, you won't not come back, right?"
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. This wasn't a bad idea at all!
Of course, this was just a thought. Zhang Xiaohua wasn't that despicable. With a look of disdain, he snapped his fingers and said, "Look, do I look like that kind of person?
No matter what, I've studied the Three Character Classic for a few months. "
"Pfft." Little Orange almost fell off the carriage.
But after a while, seeing that Zhang Xiaohua still hadn't moved, Little Orange felt strange again and asked, "Why aren't you going yet?
Don't tell me you're angry with me for saying that? "
Zhang Xiaohua looked at her from head to toe as if he didn't know her. He asked curiously, "Is this still the smart Little Orange?
Doesn't Little Orange know that buying a carriage costs money?
This carriage is what you want. You don't want the salary I give you to drive the carriage. Do you want me to pay for the carriage as well? "
Little Orange blushed and quickly shrank back into the carriage. After a while, she came out with a small green pouch in her hand. She handed it to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Ren Xiaoyao, this is my pouch. There's some money inside. Take it."
Zhang Xiaohua took the pouch and opened it to take a look. He couldn't help but cry out, "Aiya, you guys are really rich. There's even gold inside."
After saying that, he took out a small piece of gold from the pouch and looked at it fondly.
Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's greedy look, Little Orange didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Take the flowers first. When it's not enough, come find me. Miss has more."
