Several people talked and laughed for a while. Shi Xiaorui saw that it was almost time to leave. She was stopped by Suwan: "good lady, we've only played for a while. Can we play again?"
"It's too late. I have something to write today, so I won't play with you. Don't just think about playing by yourself. Go to talk to sister Chunyan. If sister Chunyan can get better faster, can I give you a raise?"
At the mention of the increase in wages, Su Wan suddenly became energetic and went to find Liu Chunyan with a smile, which made several adults laugh and exclaim that the child didn't know who he was, just like he was trying to get into the money hole.
When Suwan left, Shi Xiaorui was busy, and the rest of them were too embarrassed to play any more. They all went looking for something to do. Only Shanxia accompanied Shi Xiaorui back to her study and helped her pour tea and wash her ink. Seeing that Shi Xiaorui was about to start working after the new year, she could not help but advised, "madam, don't work too hard. Just after the end of the new year, people are still lazy, so you start working hard."
Shi Xiaorui doesn't think it's hard: "I also think it's very interesting to write medical books. I'm always playing and making trouble. I've nothing to do these days. I just want to finish it as soon as possible, so that I can have a rest or do something else. Anyway, I'm very bored with Lu Shao's absence these days."
Shanxia chuckles and is heard by Shi Xiaorui. She asks, "what are you laughing at?"
Shanxia honestly replied: "I laugh at my wife and master. They are really stronger than Jin Jian. After so many years, they are like ordinary newlyweds. If master is not here, my wife will not even have fun."
"It's no good to know that you're cheating, but you're laughing at me again." Shi Xiaorui is helpless, but Shanxia is right. Her relationship with Lu Shao hasn't changed for so many years. If you don't see him for a day, you will miss him. I don't know what happened to him and when he will come back.
Lu Shao sits on the horse and walks in front of the dart. Behind him is a load of surrounded goods. Lu Shao can't help but look back and see that everything is normal. He continues to turn his head and drive forward.
Zhang duo, an escort, saw that he had something on his mind and asked, "what's the matter, leader Lu
Lu Shao always felt a little uneasy. When he asked, he said, "it's nothing. Maybe he's been walking for a long time, and his heart is not stable."
Zhang Duo is not young with him, and he has a lot of experience in darting. Besides Qujiang, he is almost Lu Shao's right-hand man. He comforted him: "if you don't dart for a long time, it's hard to avoid some maladjustment. Originally, it's enough to have me this time. What's the origin of this guest? You have to be alarmed to go this time."
On that day, Lu Shao met a friend he hadn't seen for a long time. Originally, he wanted to sit down and talk about the past, but he didn't realize that the man asked him to help him escort as soon as he saw him. When he thought about the high spirited swordsman, he solemnly begged him to do something. No matter how many doubts he had in his heart, he had to go ahead.
I just don't know if helping a friend will lead to other disasters. This time, I'm afraid it won't be too easy. Lu Shao calmed down and replied, "I'm a very important friend. Even for the sake of friendship, I have to go this way."
Zhang duo knew that he was a man of friendship, and he said nothing more. He cheered up and drove on.
As he walked, Lu Shao suddenly felt something wrong. He only heard a slight rustle in the forest, and Zhang duo also noticed it. They looked at each other, but their hearts were not good. Sure enough, a concealed weapon shot out of the forest for a moment, and hit the horse with the dart in the back. With a cry of pain, the horse threw off his hoof and ran away. The escort was caught off guard, Before they could react, a group of people came out of the forest.
"No, someone robbed the escort!" Zhang duo yelled and drew out his sword to attack. Lu Shao took a look at the galloping carriage and said to Zhang duo, "Zhang duo, I'll give it to you first. I'll go after the carriage."
After that, he quickly drove to the carriage. The hidden weapon on the horse was poisonous. After running for a long time, he couldn't support it and fell to the ground. Lu Shao chased him and dismounted to check the contents of the carriage. When he saw that the box was intact, he was relieved to move the things out. He was about to drive back, but someone came to rob him.
Lu Shao protected the things behind him and looked at the people with his sword: "who are the big brothers on the road? Why are they in my way?"
"Here's something we want. Put it down quickly and spare your life. If not, don't blame us for being rude."
As Lu Shao expected, these people really came for the things in it. His good friends found him a big trouble, but it's no use thinking so much now. Since they agreed to escort them to the end, they had to fight hard.
Lu Shao went up with a sword to attack with several people. They couldn't dodge and even held the sword. Although Lu Shao was good at martial arts, he was outnumbered after all. Besides, these people seemed to be masters. Lu Shao, who was still in the upper hand, gradually lost the battle. He only had to fight hard, hoping to wait for the rescue.
There are five people on the other side, and Lu Shao has only one person. Lu Shao has been sleeping in the open for several days, and he really has no energy to deal with so many experts. Finally, he is accidentally kicked to the ground. Lu Shao has no support and faints.
When he woke up again, it was dark around him, and there was some wet licorice under him. Lu Shao shook his dizzy head and sat up, trying to have a closer look at what it was.
His move startled the person beside him, who said eagerly: "dart head, are you awake? Are you all right
Lu Shao saw Zhang duo beside him: "I'm ok. What's this place?"
Zhang duo shook his head: "I was sent here with my head covered. Before long, you were also sent here. I thought you had an accident. Fortunately, you are OK."
Lu Shao beat the ground with indignation and raised a layer of dust: "we have been ambushed, but we don't know who we are. We have lost the escort, and we have become the fish to be slaughtered."
Zhang duo sighed: "there's no way. The people who come here are well prepared. They obviously know what we are escorting, dart leader. What's the origin of your friend? How can we escort such dangerous things?"
"He trusted me so much, but I let him down. If he goes out one day, I don't know if he has the face to see him again."
"It's not the time to blame ourselves. We have to find a way out."
What Zhang duo said is reasonable. The most important thing for them now is to leave here. Lu Shao got up and looked out. He found that it was dark outside. The structure here was not like a secret room, but like a prison.
