Chapter 149 Death is imminent
On the way back, Dong Qian looked down at the medicine bag placed aside, feeling warm in her heart.
"Don't look at me, junior sister, when she talks to you like that, she's just a sharp-tongued person." Xu realized what Dong Qian was thinking and couldn't help but say something.
On the way back, it suddenly started to snow heavily again. For some reason it snowed so much this year that the carriage could only move forward slowly in the thick snow.
"Master, at this rate, how long will it take for us to return to Yancheng?" Dong Qian looked at the scenery outside worriedly.
Xu sighed, "I'm not sure, but it should be soon. Don't worry."
This kind of thing cannot be rushed, otherwise the carriage will easily slip in the snow. It is best to feed the horse well before leaving, otherwise it may be too hungry to walk now.
Originally they planned to go to the previous town to rest for a while, but the two of them hurried on until noon before reaching the front of the town.
But what a coincidence, the horse stopped in the middle of the road without moving. No matter how Xu shouted, it stood there stubbornly.
Dong Qian looked at its deflated belly and thought that it must be too hungry to walk.
"Master, why don't you wait here while I go to the town and bring back some fodder."
After Dong Qian finished speaking, she got off the carriage, and the coldness suddenly invaded her whole body.
But she didn't feel that cold now. After wrapping her clothes tightly, Dong Qian quickened her pace and walked towards the town.
Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and we arrived in half an hour's walk.
But on such a cold day, most shops were closed, so Dong Qian had to find an inn and spend a few pennies to bring a pile of fodder.
Because it was a bit heavy, Dong Qian borrowed a rope and dragged it behind her.
The snow on the ground is very thick anyway, so there is no need to worry about it spreading directly.
After seeing the master not far away, Dong Qian waved and said hello.
She happily continued to pull forward, waiting until she raised her head to look over again.
A group of people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded their carriage.
Dong Qian dropped what she was holding and rushed forward. She had no idea that she would be able to solve the problem if she rushed over.
But she would never allow anything to happen to her master in front of her.
"Who are you?" Dong Qian stopped in front of Xu.
Their clothes looked a little shabby, but there was a style of their own in the rags, which made Dong Qian a little confused.
"Can't you see, we are bandits from the neighborhood. Seeing how poor you are, we didn't intend to rob you, but someone paid us to hire us. Just stay here today!"
One of the burly men directly waved the sword in his hand and struck in the direction of the two people.
Xu Yan quickly grabbed Dong Qian's clothes and took a step back, only to avoid the attacks of the two people.
"You two don't have to struggle. Either you die or I live today." The leader of this group of robbers stared at them with a ferocious expression.
Dong Qian's mind was racing, "We can give you double the amount of money they gave you."
The robber glanced at Dong Qian up and down, and couldn't help but sneer, "How can you be rich like you?" He looked unbelieving, and Dong Qian had no choice.
"Death is imminent, and I'm not afraid to tell you who it is. A man named Liu Kun. He is much richer than you."
Dong Qian clenched her fists, and she quickly went over it in her mind. The only one who had trouble with her was Liu Kun.
"Brothers, let's do it."
Because they were surrounded by woods and the weather was cold, there were almost no carriages passing by, so Dong Qian and Xu were forced into a corner.
Seeing the knife getting closer and closer to them, Xu firmly protected Dong Qian behind him, his hands constantly groping around his waist.
Traveling in the world will inevitably lead to conflicts with others, so Xu often keeps some intoxicating drugs with him. If he inhales even a little, he will fall directly into a coma.
But he searched for a long time before he remembered it and landed on the carriage.
Dong Qian's eyes focused on the sharp blade. It split the air around it, as if it could easily split a person's head in the next second.
There was a sudden neighing of a horse, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and Dong Qian was no exception.
The horse was traveling very fast. When Dong Qian turned around and looked over, she could only see the horse rushing in front of her. The bandits had to retreat in order to save their lives.
Before Dong Qian could react, a huge force grabbed her arm and threw her down on the horse. The horse bumped up and down crazily. Dong Qian was shaken to pieces, and her head was in a mess.
After seeing Dong Qian being rescued, the group of robbers wanted to catch up.
The horse galloped very fast, and it looked like a good horse at first glance. They couldn't catch up with human power alone.
"What should we do now, boss? The man said he wanted the heads of these two people, but now there is no one left." A younger brother was very worried.
It had been a long time since they had robbed a rich person, and the poor people in the village were almost unable to take the blame.
"Don't think about the worst. Isn't there another person now? If we capture him alive, we might even get some more silver rewards."
The leader smiled with a sinister look on his face, and Xu, who had no ability to resist, was directly put into the sack.
When Dong Qian woke up from dizziness, she was already in an inn.
"Master...Master!" Dong Qian suddenly remembered that Xu was still there. She stood up and was about to leave, but someone grabbed her wrist.
Dong Qian then remembered that someone had rescued her, but she didn't expect that person to be Xu Cheng.
"Why are you here? Master is in danger now!" Dong Qian knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, but still insisted on going out.
What Xu Cheng had to tell her was that it had been half an hour since they left. If those bandits really wanted to kill them, Xu Cheng would probably be dead by now.
"In the situation like that just now, I could only save you."
Xu Cheng took off his cloak indifferently. He could only save one. Between Dong Qian and Xu, he chose Dong Qian.
Dong Qian didn't blame him for this, after all, he saved her life, but if he stopped her from going to find her master, she would definitely not listen.
"Can you please stop being so stubborn? Those bandits are killers without blinking an eye. You're just going to die if you go there now!"
Seeing how persistent she was, Xu Cheng couldn't help but yell out.
Dong Qian curled her lips and said nothing. In fact, she understood what Xu Cheng said, but how could she leave her master there alone? Her conscience was uneasy.
"If your master knows that you are safe now, your soul in heaven will also feel at ease."
Xu Cheng could tell that Xu was still protecting Dong Qian at such a critical moment, and he must have hoped that she would be well.
Dong Qian choked and her eyes turned red. She hated herself for not being able to protect her master. She slowly took out the Resurrection Grass from her arms. She was worried that something might happen, so she kept it close to her body.
"Did you go to Weizhou City just for a piece of grass like this?" Xu Cheng asked after she calmed down.
