“Yin’er!”
She instantly communicated telepathically with Little Kingfisher and asked it to go ahead and investigate the situation.
“Understood!”
Little Kingfisher circled half a loop in the sky above the horse carriage, and like a bolt of lightning, spread its wings and flew far away.
“Something’s not right; there seems to have been an accident up ahead.”
The coachman had been traveling the official road between Furong Town and the county city for many years, and was very familiar with the road conditions and terrain.
Taking a turn around a bend in the mountain path, he heard the sound of a fight ahead, quickly pulled the reins, and turned the horse’s head around twice as fast as usual, running back frantically.p>
“What’s going on? Why are we going back?”
“Coachman, what’s the meaning of this?”
Sitting in the back carriage, feeling stifled and miserable, the drowsy passengers were jostled vigorously and loudly expressed their dissatisfaction.
“Stop yelling! There’s been a murder up ahead. If we don’t run now, do you all want to die?”
The coachman was a man in his thirties with a big waist and a round back. He roared like an angry lion, and the noisy voices instantly vanished.
The carriage ran back for about two miles without anyone catching up. The coachman finally took a few deep breaths, pulling the reins to a halt.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the passengers jumped out one after another, either trembling and hiding in the forest or crouching on the grass, unable to move due to the weakness in their legs.
“Sister Yu, my dear, are you scared?”
Li Xiu’e jumped off the carriage and hugged Su Qingluo’s small body into her arms, lightly sniffing her daughter’s unique sweetness. Her heart, which had been tightly knotted with anxiety, finally settled down.
“Mother, I’m fine.
Su Qingluo obediently wrapped her arms around Li Xiu’e’s neck, nuzzling her forehead affectionately, comforting her: “Mother, don’t be afraid.”
Her soft, adorable voice soothed Li Xiu’e’s frightened heart, embracing her daughter’s fragrant, soft body and subconsciously responding: “With Sister Yu here, Mother is not afraid.
“Mother, Sister!”
“Wife!”
Su Hu, Sister Qiao, and Doudou jumped down from the carriage in succession, gathering around and keeping Su Qingluo in the center, their caring gazes never leaving her side.
“I’m fine, Father, Sister, Brother, don’t worry about me.”
Su Qingluo demurely revealed her small rabbit teeth, smiling charmingly and adorably.
“It’s good that you’re fine, but next time, don’t be so willful. It’s very dangerous to sit on the front shaft. The carriage was running so fast, you’re lucky you didn’t fall off. Your mother worried about you the whole way.”
Su Hu pretended to scold her, but his face betrayed his doting affection, which he couldn’t hide.
“Hehe, Qingluo understands, Father isn’t angry.”
Su Qingluo vigorously nodded her head, giggling in reply.
No one who saw her endearing looks could bear to scold her any further.
“Our Sister Yu is truly fortunate, remaining unharmed even when sitting on the crazed carriage’s front shaft.”
Su Hu immediately changed his tune, his heart swelling with love for his daughter, boasting nonstop.
“Enough, keep boasting, and she’ll fly to the sky!”
Li Xiu’e slapped him and walked away with Su Qingluo in her arms, her small body fragrant and soft.
“Hehe, I’m just telling the truth. Our Sister Yu is simply the best, no one can compare.”
Su Hu touched his nose, chuckling foolishly, and followed closely behind with his children.
The family found a clean patch of grass by the roadside and sat down, waiting to continue their journey.
“Coachman, what exactly happened up ahead? Can we still move forward?”
“This is the middle of nowhere; we can’t wait here blindly!”
It wasn’t long before the passengers on the stopped carriage became impatient. As soon as one person started up, others soon chimed in, and the noisy clamor grew louder and louder.
The coachman remained silent with a sullen face, feeling overwhelmed. He was more anxious than anyone else but, without any news, he dared not risk starting the journey on his own..
