Shen Luo still had to look for his cousin Nie Caizhu, so he naturally couldn't stay here for long, so he said, "Miss, when I came here, there was no trace of the bandits on the road. I think they have been driven away by the government. If you are okay, you can return to the county town on your own."
"Thank you for your advice, sir." The woman bowed slightly and said.
Shen Luo also clasped his fists towards him, turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He turned around abruptly and looked up and down at the woman's clothes again. A strange look flashed in his eyes and he asked:
"I think the girl looks a bit strange, and her accent is quite different. She doesn't seem to be a local?"
The girl hesitated when she heard this. Out of politeness, she still said truthfully:
"I am from Yunzhou and arrived in Chunhua County half a month ago."
"Excuse my intrusion, but may I ask your name?" When Shen Luo heard the word "Yunzhou", his eyebrows raised inadvertently.
"Sir, I am very grateful for your kindness in lending me my cloak, but after all, we are a stranger acquaintance, so please forgive my rudeness." When the woman saw this, a hint of resistance flashed in her eyes, and she was about to take off the cloak and return it to Shen Luo.
"I'm sorry for being rude." Shen Luo quickly waved his hand and apologized.
"From what you said before, you came here from the city. I think you have important business to attend to. There is no need to delay here any longer. Please leave your name and address so that someone can send it back tomorrow." Seeing this, the woman's expression eased a little and asked.
"I originally came here to chase away the bandits. Now they have all retreated, so I have nothing to do. How about I protect the girl and send her back to the county town? It will save the trouble of borrowing and returning clothes. Besides, although there are no bandits on the way back to the city, there may be bad people who take advantage of the chaos to have evil intentions." Shen Luo said.
Hearing this, the woman turned to look at Shen Luo, with a look of suspicion in her eyes, as if to say: "How do I know that you are not such a bad guy?"
"Girl, if I were a bad guy with evil intentions, now would be a good time to do bad things. Why would I go to so much trouble to trick you into going back to the city with me?" Shen Luo sighed and said helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I was just being petty." After hearing what he said, the woman thought about it for a moment and seemed to think it made sense, so she nodded.
Seeing that she was simple-minded, Shen Luo dispelled her doubts with just a few simple words. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. How could such a weak woman travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to come all the way to Chunhua County
"It's okay, let's set off and return now." Shen Luo waved his hand and said.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the temple gate. The woman slowed down a bit and followed behind him.
"My name is Nie Caizhu." After walking a few steps, the woman's voice suddenly came from behind Shen Luo.
"It turns out to be Miss Nie. My apologies." Shen Luo said to himself, "As expected," but responded without any expression.
After hearing Shen Luo say this, Nie Caizhu stopped talking, as if she had no intention of introducing herself at all. She pursed her lips and said nothing more.
The two men went to the front yard one after the other. When they passed the Heavenly King Hall, they suddenly heard a shout from inside the hall. Two burly and sturdy men kicked open the door of the hall and rushed out.
