Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

After Lu Qingqing and his party said goodbye to the strange man who suddenly appeared, they continued to drive forward.

But little did they know that the man was walking in the same direction as her, riding a horse and carrying a baggage, following behind their carriage.

"Master, there seems to be someone following us."

When Ling Feng noticed the people behind the carriage, he whispered back to Lu Qingqing in the carriage.

Hearing his words, Lu Qingqing raised her slender eyebrows and snorted, "Don't worry, just leave them alone."

"Yes, Master!"

Biyun in the carriage asked his master if he wanted to stay overnight in the nearby village. The maids looked at the small village outside, which seemed very peaceful. Smoke curled up from the thatched houses in the distance. It was already noon!

"No need, let's go to the next town and find an inn to stay."

Lu Qingqing stared at the sounds of children playing and dogs barking in the small village outside, and couldn't bear to disturb this peaceful beauty.

She didn't know what the purpose of the man behind her was, so there was no need to bring him into the small village despite the danger.

Although Biyun was puzzled, fortunately it was still early at this time. As long as they didn't rest in the middle, they would have no problem getting to the next town. They were just a little worried about their master's health.

"Master, please have some pastries. Madam asked the kitchen to prepare these for the master on the way."

She looked at Biyun bringing out a large plate of wishful cakes, raised her eyebrows and smiled, thinking of the reluctance and worry on her mother's face when she left the house.

She picked up a piece and brought it to her mouth and took a bite. The pastry was her favorite, sweet but not greasy, and crispy in the mouth.

"You guys should try it too and give some to Ling Feng. Let's eat some pastries for lunch today, otherwise the city gate will be closed when we get to the next town."

Lu Qingqing gave instructions to several maids at the same time.

"Slave, go ahead, I just want to say something to Ziyao behind you." Ziyue said to her in a deep voice.

She nodded slightly before Ziyue got out of the carriage.

After she handed the food and water bag to Ling Feng, she was about to tell him what her master said, when Ling Feng giggled and said that she had just heard it outside, and asked her to tighten her clothes and go to meet Ziyao. Say.

When Ziyue was about to leave, Lingfeng's eyes signaled her to pay attention to the person behind the carriage.

Ziyue raised her eyebrows knowingly, nodded lightly, then stood up and moved towards the carriage behind with a few steps.

When Ziyao saw that the person coming was Ziyue, the corners of her lips curved up, teasing her as she stabilized her figure.

"Why don't you come here with Ling Feng? There's no one here to make you happy!"

Ziyao raised her eyebrows at Ziyue ambiguously as she spoke.

"What are you talking about? The master asked me to tell you that you will have some dry food for lunch and try to go to the next town to inspect the inn before evening."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Ziyao's ear, and the two murmured a few words before leaving. Ziyao's face was serious, and her eyes became sharp. While talking to everyone in the carriage, she looked at the back of the carriage with the corner of her eye.

I saw a man in black robes riding a horse not far or near from the carriage, slowly following behind the carriage.

Huan'er in the carriage was just when Qian Kai passed the dry food and water bag to Ziyao through the car curtain, he noticed that her face was serious and her eyes were shining coldly, and Huan'er shrank.

"Miss Ziyao, I...this dry food and water bag."

Ziyao looked over and saw that Huan'er seemed to be frightened by her posture just now. A slight smile appeared on her lips and she asked softly: "What? Are you scared?"

"No..., no Miss Ziyao, I thought I made some mistake."

Huan'er lowered her head and explained.

Ziyao smiled, her voice slowed down, and she said softly that it had nothing to do with her just now, it was just that she found a mouse behind the car, and asked her not to be so frightened in the future. The master didn't like it, and just call her Ziyao from now on. .

After hearing this, Huan'er raised her head, blinked her clear eyes, bit her lower lip and nodded.

Then he asked where the mouse was? Should she go and chase the mouse away? Don't let it run into the car, which will frighten the baby.

Ziyao looked at Huan'er with a serious face and said innocent words, and laughed with a "puff".

"Huan'er, I found that you are really an interesting girl. You are obviously very scared yourself!"

Just when Huan'er was confused and a little embarrassed by Ziyao's laughter, Ziyao pulled her forward, whispered a few words softly into her ear, and then let her go.

He motioned her with a frightened face to enter the carriage.

Huan'er retracted into the carriage blankly. Rou'er and Nanny Feng next to her saw her stunned look, with a slightly frightened look on their faces, and asked her worriedly what was wrong?

"Mommy, sister, sister Ziyao said there was a strange man following our car."

Just when Bao'er was about to open the car window to pry, Huan'er stopped him.

"Don't! Don't go. Sister Ziyao won't let you scare the snake. Let's just pretend we don't know. The master wants us to continue on our way to the next town..."

Huan'er explained to a few people, and then they gave up their intention to explore.

At this time, the man following behind felt that Lu Qingqing and his party were staying overnight in the next town. The closest one was Liyang. After guessing Lu Qingqing's route, the man galloped towards the path.

Soon Ling Feng and Ziyao discovered that the man behind the carriage was missing.

"The person following the master has disappeared."

Lu Qingqing hummed when she heard Ling Feng's reply. Just when Biyun's two maids were still rejoicing that the annoying person was finally gone, she sneered coldly and said they would see him again soon.

They were told not to be happy too early and to be more cautious outside. It seemed that they were being watched when they came out this time.

But she couldn't guess who it was and what its purpose was.

At this moment, Mr. Lu and his wife from the Zhenguo General's Mansion were chatting in the room, and they were glad that the Queen Mother and Concubine Mei were dead, so they could feel more at ease when Qingqing went out alone.

"Yes! I just didn't expect that the Queen Mother hated me so much during her lifetime, causing our mother and son to be separated from each other for so many years, and she would also attack Qingqing again and again!"

While Mrs. Lu hated her, she also had a complex look of guilt in her eyes.

Mr. Lu on the side couldn't understand his old wife's thoughts, so he reassured her that she didn't need to feel guilty for those people. It was not her fault at all.

Mr. Lu snorted coldly: "She deserves to die! These are old things from her youth. She has been holding on to them. She knew that Lu Chengde had always liked her, so he rescued her. Who knew that she would do this Get interested in me."

Mrs. Lu and the Queen Mother were close friends back then. They took advantage of the opportunity of an outing to take Mrs. Lu and chat with the Lu Chengde brothers. Who would have thought that Mr. Lu's upright character would actually fall in love with the gentle Mrs. Lu at first sight.
