Chapter 326: stay overnight
Chapter 326 Staying overnight
When a bright moon hung in the dark night, a group of people were still groping forward in the snow-capped mountains.
Looking at the footprints behind her, Ruan Youqing rubbed her frozen hands again, then turned her head and said softly to the people following her: "Hold on, everyone, we will be at the foot of the mountain soon. Before it gets dark...but fortunately...you don't have to spend the night here. After all, the snow-capped mountains at night are too cold, and none of us can bear it."
Cangla, who was closely following Ruan Youqing, kept cupping her hands to her mouth and exhaling, her red nose looked even more pitiful. Yueying at the side couldn't stand it any longer, no longer caring about the presence of outsiders, rather domineeringly pulled Cangla to her side, put her little hands in his sleeves to warm up.
Ruan Youqing looked at the scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but at the same time, there was some indescribable... sourness in his heart.
To tell the truth, seeing people loving each other... She is a little jealous.
If Gu Changan was here...
He should also warm his hands in such a pampering way...
Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing shrugged his nose and sighed softly.
I don't know... What happened to Gu Changan in the capital.
Li Yi's side... Is there any movement again?
When I miss someone, I really can think of him when I see everything in the world.
With a lot of thoughts, Ruan Youqing and his party finally arrived at the foot of the mountain before they knew it.
Looking at the small village hidden in the darkness not far away with only a few lights, Ruan Youqing's eyes lit up, and he called everyone over.
"Qiangu, you go ahead to explore the road first, to see if the village is normal." Ruan Youqing ordered softly.
After listening to the reason, he answered and immediately set off in the direction of the village.
Although she is exhausted right now, Ruan Youqing dare not relax.
Although I said that this mountain has reached the border of their Ning country, but for such an unknown small village, it is better to check in advance.
Regarding Ruan Youqing's cautiousness, the others have no opinion at all.
After resting and adjusting for about half an hour, Gangu finally came back.
"Miss Ruan, my subordinate has just walked around the village, and now it is about You hour, and there are a few houses with lights on, so they must not be asleep yet. Moreover, after seeing each house, there are grain stores In some places, some even raise livestock, everything is the same as in the village, nothing different.”
Listening to Gangu's report, Ruan Youqing nodded with a smile on his face, and then walked forward first.
"Then let's spend the night here and continue on our way tomorrow morning."
Crossing mountains is a physical activity, even Ruan Youqing can't help but feel exhausted. Only by having a good night's rest and adjusting her condition, can she lead people to continue on their way tomorrow.
Because of the three-day journey...she wants to shorten it to half.
She must rush to Changzhou City as soon as possible to know the safety of her father and brother.
Bloody disaster... hope... there is still time.
After exhaling heavily, Ruan Youqing quickened his pace.
However, when a group of people came to the entrance of the village, they found that there were only three or four houses with lights on just now, and now there is only one left.
Ruan Youqing turned to look at Cang La, and then at the remaining four men.
Coughed lightly, Ruan Youqing said in a low voice: "I will say what I say later, and you don't have to speak unless there are special circumstances."
"Yes." Qiangu and Yueying immediately responded without even thinking about it.
The two hidden guards sent by Yuyue to protect Ruan Youqing looked at each other and nodded in understanding.
"Cang La, follow me." When treating girls, Ruan Youqing is always gentle and springlike.
When Cang La came to her side, Ruan Youqing adjusted her state and then led her to the house with the lights on.
"In the middle of the night, whoever has no eyes knocks on someone's door." After the door was knocked, a yawning woman reluctantly came and opened the door.
"You guys are..." Seeing the people at the door, the middle-aged woman pressed her body against the door with some vigilance.
Ruan Youqing bit her lip, her apricot eyes were foggy, and her voice became softer: "My aunt, I'm really sorry. We are from Changzhou, and we came here... because we were looking for our brother who ran away from home. My sister and I Following the information I heard all the way, I walked unknowingly for three or four days, but... I got lost here... I wonder if my aunt can give us a night, don't worry, we won't stay longer , leave immediately tomorrow morning.”
As he spoke, Ruan Youqing coughed a few times with his hand covering his lips in a very weak way.
Except for Gan Gu and Yue Ying, the other three were all a little surprised when they saw Ruan Youqing's appearance at this time.
After all, Ruan Youqing did not deliberately conceal his ability and strength during the few days he spent with them.
These people had never seen the image of the sick and delicate woman at the beginning.
Fortunately, Cang La is clever, when Ruan Youqing looked at her, she sniffled immediately, and said very weakly: "Auntie, please do me a favor and take us in for a night"
Ruan Youqing and Cang La both have that kind of non-aggressive and pitiful appearance, so... this one is weak and the other is pitiful, it is really easy to feel pity.
The woman was obviously a little soft-hearted. After sighing helplessly, she opened the door and said in a more relaxed tone, "For the sake of the poorness of you two girls, come in."
At this point, Ruan Youqing and his party finally walked in.
"Auntie, don't worry, we won't live here for nothing, this is your reward." Ruan Youqing stretched out his hand and patted the other person's shoulder, then took out a bag of broken silver and handed it over.
The woman had no expression when she turned her head, but when she saw the silver taels Ruan Youqing handed over, her eyes changed obviously.
Ruan Youqing saw all this, but she didn't say anything, and there was still a reassuring smile on her face.
The woman scratched her head in embarrassment, and said with a chuckle: "You girl, why are you so polite, tell me about your brother's appearance tomorrow morning, and I will take someone to look for it with you Find."
Ruan Youqing bent his eyes and said softly: "Then I will trouble you, Auntie." After finishing speaking, Ruan Youqing directly handed over the broken silver in his hand to the other party.
The woman's smiling eyes narrowed, her attitude was much more enthusiastic than before, and she even... called her man out.
Looking at the rather honest-looking man, Ruan Youqing and Cang La also greeted him.
"Master, these two ladies got lost and came to our place. Seeing how weak they are, I decided to take them in on my own."
The man smiled kindly: "Okay, it's getting late. Seeing how busy they are, they really need to take a good rest. It happened that Da Ni took the boy to his aunt's house in the town for a short stay. You clean up the room they have vacated, and let these two ladies live first. It's just...these young men..."
When the man looked at Yue Yinggan and the others, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Our house doesn't have that many empty rooms... there is only one room where sundries are piled up... But there is a big shop in that room, why don't you make do with it?" ..."
Yueying did it, so none of them are hypocritical people. Seeing the embarrassment of the other party, Yueying immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Then there is trouble."
The man was not unhappy seeing the other party, he immediately arranged for Ruan Youqing and the others to sit in the house with a smile, and then he took the woman away to clean up the house.
