After Zhuo Qingfeng pulled Ling'er's hand away, he started to mutter in his heart, there was a way to prevent the two of them from walking to Jade Dragon Temple. If they walked, they probably wouldn't be able to walk even tomorrow morning.
He originally wanted to hire a carriage with the silver. But now, if he didn't have the money, which carriage would he hire?
Just then a horse-drawn cart passed them, covered with hay. The farmer must have been an old man, in his forties or fifties, very haggard, and very tired.
Zhuo Qingfeng looked at the direction he was heading in, and seemed to be headed in the direction of Jade Dragon Temple. He had a plan in mind, he could only hear her poking Ling'er lightly in the shoulder, and then say to her, "Ling'er, Ling'er."
Ling'er was still looking around, not knowing why her young miss suddenly stopped, but looking at the farmer in front of her now, she knew that she must have gotten her own Xiao Jiu once again. Just as she was about to advise her, Zhuo Qingfeng suddenly whispered into her ear, "Pretend to faint, Ling'er, hurry up!"
"Why me? "I don't want to …" Ling'er pouted, giving an extremely reluctant reply.
Are you pretending?" If I don't pretend, this month's monthly allowance will all be deducted. " Zhuo Qingfeng was half threatening and half deceiving, and Ling'er was still hesitating, but could only cry out non-stop. Only, she was a young lady of twenty-eight years, yet she was lying on the ground, attracting a lot of onlookers.
Zhuo Qingfeng said from there, "Everyone, I don't know if you know where there is a clinic nearby, I want to send my sister there. This is the first time the two of us are in the Shangjing City, we are unacquainted with each other, so we were just looking for a wife, but who would have thought that we would end up like this!"
When the passersby saw that Ling'er and Zhuo Qingfeng's attire was that of males, and heard that he said yes, that person who fainted was his little sister, they became a little suspicious.
He heard someone say, "Is that your sister? Was she a woman? And now you have disguised her as a man? "
Zhuo Qingfeng had said something wrong just now, so he felt that it was not right. Now that he heard someone helping him, he hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right, my sister is a girl, but it's not convenient to walk, so he can only dress up as a man."
The man frowned, but his heart softened in the end. He pointed to a nearby infirmary and said, "Young master, isn't the infirmary right there? You can go in and take a look! "
"But, my money was stolen by the thieves, we don't want to do this, right now there's nothing we can do …"
As Zhuo Qingfeng spoke, he looked towards the farmer who had just left, but in the blink of an eye, he discovered that the farmer had already disappeared. Startled, he stood up quickly and pushed through the crowd of people, looking towards the front, only to realize that as the person passed by them, he did not even raise his head and did not leave.
Zhuo Qingfeng thought, everyone said that peasants were the simplest and most straightforward of all. Now, it seemed that this person did not care about their lives at all.
Zhuo Qingfeng's hands moved quickly, in three steps he walked to the front of the man, using his hands to grab hold of his hands, and said to him, "Uncle, sorry to trouble you, my sister, she is sick now, and her movements are really inconvenient. I originally wanted to go to Jade Dragon Temple to burn some incense, could you please give her a ride?"
This farmer was obviously not mentally prepared at all, for fear of being implicated by others, he hurriedly shook his head, and said to her, "Let's not go to Jade Dragon Temple, I have something to do …"
"Uncle, are you going to the next town? Is that okay?" She blinked as she spoke, her eyes full of grievance.
The farmer saw that the crowd seemed to be saying something around him. He looked over and found that there was a girl lying on the ground.
The farmer then said, "Okay, okay, you guys come up."
Once he said that, Zhuo Qingfeng's heart was filled with joy, he walked forward and pulled Ling'er's hand, then sat on the carriage while trembling. When it was time for the next town, when Zhuo Qingfeng was still immersed in his own happiness, he heard the farmer waving at the two of them, "Ladies, you two have enough pretense, hurry up and get off the carriage, this old man really has something to do. If I don't get off later, I won't be able to guarantee anything that happens."
At first, Zhuo Qingfeng was just going to argue with him, hoping that he would travel by himself. But then, Ling'er pulled her hand and said to her: "Miss, let's get down, I have my own matters to attend to."
Zhuo Qingfeng was just about to teach this ignorant servant a lesson, but she didn't expect Ling'er to jump down first. Zhuo Qingfeng could only follow her, and said: "Thank you grandpa, please hurry up and do what you need to do!"
Zhuo Qingfeng was forced to come down, and as he walked along the road, Ling'er was still piled up in a pile, complaining non-stop at the side.
That Ling'er spoke to Zhuo Qingfeng, "Miss, didn't you notice earlier that there was something wrong with that man? He looked like a farmer, but no matter what, when he spoke, he did not look like a farmer at all. He looked like someone who had seen a big show, and should have even less experience than us.
When she said that, Zhuo Qingfeng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. What did this mean?
Thinking like this, his steps really became faster and faster …
Only when the two of them walked out of the town did they dare to stop and take deep breaths of fresh air. It was only now that Zhuo Qingfeng realised what her grandmother had said about the difficulties of this world.
If the farmer had not been soft-hearted and let the two of them go, or kidnapped somewhere to sell them, the two of them would have truly been unlucky. However, like this, Zhuo Qingfeng and the rest could be considered to have walked a huge distance.
Zhuo Qingfeng could not help but remember the last time he followed the two of them to Jade Dragon Temple. The two of them rode fast horses, and Ye Wu Wu Qi was so tall, so in less than two hours, they had already reached Jade Dragon Temple, yet now that they were walking on their own, they realized how long the journey was.
If he had known earlier, he would have agreed to Su Mu's request. Su Mu had even sent someone to fetch him, and he would have easily reached the Jade Dragon Temple.
