The mountain road winds upwards. This is probably not a public road built by the town office, but a mountain road built by the owner of the forest farm at his own expense. Therefore, the mountain road is not wide and somewhat narrow. The ground is also paved with yellow mud and stone. The road was flattened by rollers, instead of being paved with gravel and sand like a public road.
Although this kind of loess mountain road looks relatively flat, it is not durable. Wind, rain and time can quickly turn the road into potholes, or busy transport vehicles can crush the road in a short time. At present, this mountain road is pretty good, and there are no obvious ruts on the road surface. Claude estimates that this mountain road should be newly built in the past two years.
Generally speaking, such mountain trails are privately owned and are not accessible to others. However, in Bailu Town and the three southwest counties, private roads are also allowed for pedestrians to pass. However, if you are riding a horse or carriage, you must obtain the owner's permission. If you were walking on this mountain trail like Claude, even if the owner found you, he would just ask who you are and what you are doing here.
Claude planned to walk up this mountain path for a while and then climb over the hill in front, and then he would reach his destination. It is a mountain col with dense forests. It should be a good place for hunting. If you are lucky, you may find big prey, wild boars, antelopes, etc.
Just after turning a corner of the mountain, where the mountain road turned, Claude heard a panicked cry from in front of him: "The horse is frightened, hurry up and catch up, the bastard lady is still in the car, how are you driving?" of"
Claude looked up. However, he saw a powerful black horse pulling a clever carriage running towards him on the mountain road twenty or thirty meters away. Behind the carriage, there were two people chasing him, one of whom looked like a butler. Old man, the other one is probably the unlucky coachman who lost his carriage.
The mountain road is not wide, only about three meters. If it is in normal condition, if the carriage moves to the side, the mountain road can still barely accommodate two carriages passing by. But now the strong horse pulling the carriage was not aware of what kind of stimulation it had, and it just pulled the carriage behind it and ran rampant in the middle of the road. If it can run along the mountain road, it will be fine, but I am afraid that if the horse rushes forward regardless of the bends in the mountain road, both the horse and the cart will roll down the mountain.
Just when Claude saw the scene clearly, the frightened horse had already rushed to a place about ten meters away from him with the carriage, fearing that in a few seconds it would hit Claude who was standing in the middle of the mountain road.
"Pa ta", there was nothing I could do at this time. Claude could only use a mental shock to restrain the frightened horse first, so as not to bring him down the mountain.
The frightened horse was stunned for a moment, but its performance was much better than that of the pack horse in the open-air market. It didn't knock itself over, it just changed from a long stride to a fast run, and stopped when it reached Claude. , shook the horse's head, as if he could no longer remember what happened just now, and lowered his head to gnaw the weeds on the roadside.
Claude grabbed the reins of the black horse and prepared to wait for the two butlers and coachman behind to catch up before handing it over to them.
Having just used Mental Shock on the frightened horse, he was still worried that some unforeseen accident would happen, such as the horse suddenly falling down or suddenly stopping and being hit by a carriage pulling behind it. It would frighten him again and make him crazy. He was already ready to dodge. He also wanted to use a mental shock on the frightened horse again. But it was pretty good. This Jingma was well-trained and no unexpected incidents occurred.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a richly dressed lady in her thirties emerged from inside. However, her entire hair was messed up and hung down to cover half of her face. It was obvious that the horse was frightened just now and dragged the carriage around, causing her to suffer a lot inside.
"It's okay, madam." Claude nodded politely. This madam has a very plump figure, and is also very fiery. She is tall and convex. You can see the maintenance from the skin color on her exposed arms. Very good, white, delicate and shiny.
The lady lifted her hair and took a closer look at Claude, who quickly lowered his head to show respect. Unexpectedly, the noble lady smiled and said something kindly that shocked Claude: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, Master Mage."
The title Master Mage immediately caused Claude to go blank. Someone discovered me. What should I do if I kill someone and silence them? Or kill someone and silence them
