My name is General's Little Uncle

Chapter 56: Why a stranger?

Views:

The caravan stopped at a valley. There was a strong wind and a rainstorm was about to come.

"Miss, the carriage can't go any further." Youlan jumped onto the carriage from outside, lifted the curtain and poked her head in, shouting. The wind blew in from the opened curtain, mixed with dust and withered yellow leaves, blowing in all over her head. Weiyang was choked by the wind and couldn't help coughing.

The weather had been getting colder in the past two days, and she finally fell ill. She first had a fever, which lasted for several days. After the fever subsided, she felt listless and couldn't stop coughing.

"Youlan, you are courting death." Konggu screamed and reached out to press the curtain. Youlan outside also hurriedly retreated and frantically tried to press the curtain.

"Ding Wu, there is a cave over there. Follow Qi Wu." Boss He rode over and shouted to Ding Wu.

The wind was too strong, carrying broken branches and leaves, which hurt people.

Qi Wu, who was guarding He Lao Da, heard this and turned his horse forward to the mountain path on the side: "Follow me."

There were no wild animals in the cave, but there was a smell of sulfur water.

Are there hot springs

Sure enough, Ding Wu led the group and walked more than 30 meters inside. They really found a hot spring, which was flowing in a stream and no one knew where it flowed to.

A dozen people searched the cave carefully, and only felt relieved when they found nothing unusual, and asked Weiyang to get out of the car.

As soon as they entered the cave, He Lao Da and a dozen other people came running over. Then, bean-sized raindrops began to fall.

"You don't have many people here, I'll bring a few more people for you. Although nothing happened along the way, you still have to be careful."

It was better to be in the cave than outside. There was no need to fear the strong wind and rain, and it was convenient to make fire and cook. Wei Yang rolled up her sleeves and helped You Lan to cook dinner. She had learned cooking skills at home before, and although her cooking skills were not as good as You Lan's, they were not bad either. This was Wei Yang's first time cooking, and although she was just doing odd jobs, she still made He Lao Da turn his head and look at her.

The place Ding Wu arranged for Wei Yang and the two maids was at the innermost part, not far from the hot spring pool.

Looking at the hot spring pool in front of her, Wei Yang couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Dad bought a manor outside Beijing, and her favorite thing was to go there to soak in the hot springs. At that time, her eldest sister had just married, and only her second sister accompanied her. The two of them lay under the stars and talked. Once she accidentally fell asleep, and it was her second sister who carried her into the house.

She always felt that her eldest sister was not as close to her as her second sister. Her second sister was born out of wedlock, but was no worse than a legitimate daughter. She acted and spoke more gracefully and gently than her eldest sister.

Are they okay

The accident happened at midnight, when thick smoke rose in the cave, and it turned out that the smoke came from the hot spring waterway.

Wei Yang was grabbed in her sleep and was carried out of the room.

Outside, it was raining and windy, and the big raindrops hit her face, which startled her and woke her up. When she woke up, she found that she was being held tightly in the arms of a stranger and was running in the rain.

Why was it a stranger? I can only blame Weiyang’s sensitive nose.

Along the way, Ding Wu was afraid that Wei Yang would despise them for being dirty, so he basically told the dozen brothers to take a bath and change clothes every two or three days, so as not to stink the girls. Tonight, when they came across a hot spring, the brothers took turns to go in and wash themselves.

The man holding Wei Yang hadn't taken a shower for at least a week, and his body smelled of sweat and blood.

In the darkness, Wei Yang tightly grasped the sleeve that was soaked with water and stuck to the back of her hand. If it were daytime, this stranger would definitely notice that the little girl in his arms was terrifyingly calm.

Unfortunately, it was night time and he didn't expect her to wake up so early.
