The carriage walked slowly, and it was not until the end of Xu hour that it wandered back to Taohua Village, which was half an hour later than usual.
At this point, the people in the village had already gone to sleep, and the whole Taohua Village was shrouded in silence and darkness. Shen Ruolan was anxiously planning in her heart while observing the shadowy village.
In this kind of weather, if she goes back to Kaoshantun, she will not say whether she is tired or not. It is snowy and dark, and she is not very familiar with the terrain. It is hard to say whether she will get lost or find her home.
If you were to find a family to stay in Taohua Village, who knows what kind of family you will meet.
She is a little girl's house, and she knocks on people's doors in the middle of the night to stay overnight. What if she is unlucky and meets a perverted bachelor or a hungry widower? With her current physical strength, if someone really wants to do something to her, she doesn't even have the ability to resist, and she will only be waiting to be killed!
Rather than that, it would be better to let her freeze to death in the wilderness.
Why! What a dilemma!
It would be great if Zhang Eryong could wait for her to get the money. Zhang Eryong seems to be an honest and kind person, so maybe he can help her think of a way.
However, this assumption is also impossible.
It's a cold day, and the carriage has been late for such a long time, so he just stood here and waited foolishly because of his brain. It's not that people don't recognize her, so can they be afraid that she won't pay back the money
No matter how you think about it, there is really no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth, but she is so worried!
Shen Ruolan is worried here, but the carriage has stopped over there.
"It's here!"
Before the horse had stabilized, Shuan Zi couldn't wait to yell, as if he wanted to kick all the people in the car off, so that he could go home early.
When the people in the car saw that the car had stopped, they all jumped out of the car nimbly and trotted towards their home.
They were froze on the way, and they all rubbed their hands and stomped their feet. At this moment, they just want to go back to the hot kang head of their own home to keep warm.
Standing alone on the grain drying yard, Shen Ruolan watched everyone disperse, and even the only light—the ghostly lantern on the carriage was getting farther and farther away, she couldn't help feeling flustered.
What should I do
Everyone left, and she was the only one left. Should she go back or find a family to stay overnight
No matter what to do, it would be very dangerous, but even so, she had to choose the same.
Just as I was thinking about it sadly, a thin man suddenly turned back and said in a kind tone: "Little girl, you just said that you are from the mountains, ha ha, look at my memory, it took me a long time to remember, My family belongs to Sun Aotun, and it happens that the two of us are on the way, so let's go with a companion."
Shen Ruolan looked up at that person, when she went in the morning and came back in the evening, she didn't pay attention to the looks of those people in the car at all, now someone came to strike up a conversation with her, and she remembered to look at people seriously.
Because the sky was cloudy, there was no moon, and it was late at night, so even if she opened her eyes wide, she couldn't see the man's face clearly.
However, looking at his thin and small appearance, even if he wants to be a bad guy, he doesn't have the capital!
Shen Ruolan decided to take a gamble, it was better to go back with someone to accompany her than to go back alone, Sun Aotun was next to Guashantun, if the two of them walked together, it was equivalent to him sending himself back, which was something he wished for.
Taking a step back, even if he is a bad guy, his small physique is not that bad. It just so happened that she bought a sharp bone-cutting knife when she was at the grocery store during the day. If he was a bad guy, that knife would deal with him That's more than enough!
After thinking about it, she agreed: "Well, it's always better to have a companion than to be alone."
"It's not what it is, I'm thinking the same way."
Seeing that Shen Ruolan agreed, the man was so happy that he laughed twice, and said: "Then let's go now, look at this heavy snow, I don't know when we will be able to get home!"
Shen Ruolan nodded, and followed the man one after the other to the direction of Kaoshan Tun'er.
The snow is still falling, but it is smaller than before. Even so, the heavy snow for a few hours is enough to bury the mountain road. With the thick snow, every step you take can leave a footprint without an ankle Come on, walking takes two or three times more effort than usual.
As soon as she walked out of Peach Blossom Village, Shen Ruolan felt a little powerless, but no matter what, the road still had to be walked, she gritted her teeth, pulled her foot out of the snow shell with difficulty, and stepped in again...
The mountain road was quiet, it seemed to be quieter than the last time I went back, only the creaking footsteps of the two people and Shen Ruolan's rapid panting, the surrounding was so quiet that it made people feel hairy.
After walking for a while, the thin man in front suddenly said: "Little girl, did you do some big business to make money today?"
Shen Ruolan was shocked in her heart, secretly thought it was not good, this person suddenly mentioned money at this moment, he must have malicious intentions.
She quietly held the boning knife in the space in her hand, and said cautiously: "No, I'm going to the city to do business today."
"Hey, you are a little girl, what can you do? Don't hide it. Is there any good way to make money? If you say it and let everyone make a fortune together, isn't everyone happy?" The thin man stopped suddenly He turned his head and stared at Shen Ruolan sinisterly.
Shen Ruolan also stopped, met his malicious gaze, and said in a deep voice: "If you say there is no, then there is no, even if there is, why should I tell you?"
The man laughed a few more times, suddenly changed his face, and said viciously: "Little girl, at your young age, it would not be worthwhile to die in this barren mountain and wild ridge. Think about it, if I kill you and bury you Isn't it easy to do in this barren mountain?"
This is torn face, showing a fierce look.
Shen Ruolan trembled, and said timidly: "You... dare? Killing people requires... beheading."
The man saw that Shen Ruolan was afraid, and he was even more proud, he smiled: "Of course I dare not in front of other people, otherwise I can't leave first, and I will go back to you after everyone has left."
As he said that, he approached a few steps, with a ferocious look on his shoehorn-like face, "Little girl, it's up to you whether to sacrifice your life or money today."
Shen Ruolan hurriedly took off the pannier and hugged her tightly in her arms: "No, I earned my money with great difficulty, you can't snatch it." After finishing speaking, she screamed loudly: "Help, it's a money grab!" —”
Seeing her panic-stricken appearance, the man laughed triumphantly: "Shout, but shout hard, I'll see who can save you in the wilderness, it's useless for you to break your throat, sensible, Hurry up and hand over all the money to me, don't make me angry."
Shen Ruolan seemed to be terrified, she turned around and ran, shouting for help while running.
Seeing that Shen Ruolan was about to run away, the man took a sip, and ran after him. Although he was thin, he was a man after all, and his strength was many times stronger than Shen Ruolan's. He caught up with Shen Ruolan within a few steps.
