Everyone got what they wanted, so no matter how much doubt they had in their hearts, the route of this journey was still decided.
In order to ensure that one person would be allowed to guard the night, the others would rest. Although they hadn't reached the area where bandits were rumored to be active, they weren't sure about the bandits' thoughts. Only when there was someone guarding the night did they feel at ease.
Unexpectedly, Xu Han took the initiative to offer a vigil.
Perhaps it was because of that remark from before, or perhaps it was because of the importance that the important person in the carriage attached to it.
As for this youth, who was not in the eyes of the crowd before, he was now special. Since he had made such a request, they naturally had no need to object. They quickly agreed.
Since she had already made up her mind, Zhen Yue arranged for everyone to start resting. Unconsciously, it seemed that this woman had already taken over the management of the entire caravan, but no one felt that there was anything wrong, so did Boss Gan.
…
The antler plains in the middle of the night were abnormally silent.
Other than the occasional howl of wolves coming from afar, the rest was the crisp sound of the campfire burning the withered firewood.
As Zhen Yue's subordinate, Lu Yashan gently patted Wei Chen's shoulder. The middle-aged man who had fallen asleep glared at him discontentedly. Before he could curse, Lu Yashan's voice rang out, "How do you think our boss saw that kid was different from the others?"
Apparently, he was as confused as Hu Ma.
"Boss knows people well. How can you be like an elm head? If you are like us, how can Boss be considered a boss?" The big man named Wei Chen was obviously a carefree person who didn't care about anything.
"That's right. You said that our boss is really amazing. Just like that, you saw that kid was extraordinary." Shi Yucheng, who was originally asleep at the side, heard the conversation between the two of them and came over with a thieving expression, saying in such a low voice.
However, just as the three of them were secretly praising Zhen Yue for her insight, Hu Ma's voice rang out.
"What do you know!" He spoke with a tone of disdain, but his eyes were filled with loneliness like snow that was filled with insight into the world.
Naturally, the three of them couldn't be convinced by him, and they all glared at him at that time.
"Am I wrong? Then why did the boss treat that brat so badly before?" Wei Chen naturally had to defend himself at the first possible moment when his deduction was questioned.
Who would have thought that his argument would attract Hu Ma's even bigger eyes?
The tall man who hadn't read half of the book shook his head and said, "How could there be a young man who isn't affectionate? How could there be a young woman who isn't pregnant?"
He had heard this before in the restaurant, but he didn't understand what was right or wrong. Of course, Wei Chen and the others, who had never heard this before, didn't understand.
Their gazes at Hu Ma instantly became surprised. They had been together for so long, but they didn't expect that Hu Ma would actually chant poems against him.
"Brother Ma, what does this mean?" Lu Yashan hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Stupid." Hu Ma, who enjoyed the respectful gazes of the three of them, became even more complacent. He turned his head and looked at how he had become friends with you idiots. However, he still said, "That is to say, our boss has taken a fancy to that brat."
"What!" As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yashan and the others let out a cry of surprise, causing the people who had already fallen asleep to look at him in astonishment. It didn't matter yet, but Zhen Yue, who was standing alone by the side, seemed to have heard such a voice and handed over a gaze at that time.
The four guilty people hurriedly lowered their heads. After a long time, it was only when Zhen Yue withdrew her gaze that the four of them dared to raise their heads again.
"You don't want to die." After that, Hu Ma knocked heavily on the forehead of Lu Yashan and the others, and cursed softly, "If Boss hears it, we won't be able to take it anymore."
The three of them knew that they were in the wrong, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"Brother Ma, are you telling the truth?" Wei Chen was obviously more concerned about this matter. He didn't care about the pain coming from the back of his head, so he hurriedly approached Hu Ma and asked eagerly.
Although Lu Yashan and Shi Yucheng did not say much, the heads of the two people who were clearly one size above the average were filled with curiosity. They stared at Hu Ma with eyes that were similarly larger than an ordinary one, waiting for his answer.
"Cough cough." Hu Ma coughed and put on an unfathomable look. "That's right. Otherwise, you said that we've been with the boss for so long. Which man did she give a good look to?"
However, such an unfounded guess soon attracted the doubts of others.
Lu Yashan, who was the first to make his own conjecture, said at that time, "You can just make up nonsense. How can the boss fall in love with him at a glance?"
"Hmph! You" Huma was about to refute the question.
Wei Chen, the youngest of the four, also asked at that time, "That's right. If Brother Ma had seen through the boss's thoughts early in the morning, then why did you still make things difficult for that person everywhere?"
Wei Chen's question undoubtedly asked the crux of the matter.
Hu Ma's expression froze.
'"This" His old face was flushed red, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Look, you must be shy." Lu Yashan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by and mocked at that time.
"I was trying to create an opportunity for Boss." Hu Ma suddenly came up with an idea. He said in a very serious tone, "Don't you guys look at how your heads are normally, but this woman will be shy whenever she meets a man or woman. Do you think that kid should be grateful to our boss for my actions?"
"So, as a little brother, you have to share the worries for the boss. You guys are just too brainless." As he spoke, Hu Ma revealed a sorrowful expression.
Seeing that these words seemed to have frightened the three of them, Hu Ma's words aroused his interest, and he immediately began to speak in a dazzling manner.
"Let's not talk about anything else, but this is based on the little lady's thoughts. Brother, if I say second, no one will dare to say that I am first."
"Usually, our boss will act swiftly, but in the end, he is still a woman. This woman … hehe, that's all."
"Don't you dare not believe me. I told you that you can't guarantee that when we fall asleep, the boss will secretly go to the lover."
…
The more Hu Ma said, the more mysterious it became. The three of them who had been bachelors for half their lives were confused, but they felt that it made sense.
However, Lu Yashan was rather unconvinced. At that time, he said, "Stop bragging. How can our boss…"
Halfway through his words, he came to a halt…
Because at that moment, the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a graceful figure slowly standing up and slowly walking towards the youth who was squatting beside the fire.
