Villain: I am not good at fighting.

"The horses that pull the carts are specially trained. They won't follow anyone unless their masters are around."

Xie Xiaoyu explained hurriedly, took Liu Muqing's hand and walked out.

"I can make it go away."

"Really?"

Xie Xiaoyu looked back in confusion and asked uncertainly.

"Well, Yunzhi, can you untie the reins?"

Liu Muqing nodded affirmatively and said to Li Yunzhi who got off the carriage.

"Oh, good!"

Li Yunzhi quickly took the reins off the stone lion's head and handed them to Liu Muqing with joy.

"No need to give me the reins, just put it on the horse's back."

"Quick, Zhiyun, come up!"

At this time, Xie Xiaoyu saw the figure of Boss Liu out of the corner of his eye and urged him hurriedly.

Liu Muqing also saw the figure of Liu Lao Da. The moment Li Zhiyun climbed into the carriage, the horse in front of the carriage suddenly neighed violently and ran towards the end of the road.

She can communicate with all kinds of animals, and this communication does not require human language and is silent.

"Damn it, these little girls are rebelling, ugh~"

Boss Liu had just stepped out of the door with a few scallion pancakes in his hand. When he saw this scene, he quickly stretched out his index finger and thumb, put them in his mouth, and whistled loudly.

But after whistling several times, the horse did not respond. Seeing that the carriage was about to disappear from sight, Liu Lao Da thought something was wrong, dropped the scallion pancake, jumped onto the eaves, and chased after it in a few strides.

He used to be in the underworld, and although he was considered a third-rate figure in the underworld, he was a well-deserved master in the dozen or so villages within the radius of Yannan City.

The carriage ran faster and faster, and soon the Sifang courtyard disappeared from sight. Xie Xiaoyu sat in the carriage and cheered.

"Oh~ Mu Qing, you are so awesome! You can actually make the horse behave well. We are free now, oh~"

Li Zhiyun was also very happy. Her eyes curved into crescents. She smiled and looked at Liu Muqing in surprise and asked:

"Mu Qing, how did you do this? This is amazing!"

“It’s very obedient.”

Liu Muqing still didn't understand what freedom was. Ever since she could remember, her childhood was all about getting up, working, working, and getting beaten and scolded.

The more work you do, the less you get beaten, but the more you get scolded, and vice versa.

She couldn’t sit at the table during meals and had to wait until her parents and younger brother finished eating before it was her turn.

No one had ever taught her the truth, and except for the small animals, no one had ever treated her with admiration and equality like she did today.

She liked this feeling very much. It made her feel comfortable like never before. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, forming a faint smile, like a blooming flower.

"boom!"

However, a sudden sound made the three pretty faces, which were about to bloom, turn pale and fall into endless panic.

Boss Liu, with a dark face, descended from the sky, using a heavy weight. His legs were like wooden stakes deeply embedded in the ground, and his hands were like iron clamps, grabbing the crossbeam at the rear of the carriage.

hiss!

The horse running at high speed was suddenly stopped by a huge force, and its two front hooves flew up into the air uncontrollably, neighing in pain.

"Damn it! A little girl who hasn't even fully grown her hair yet can actually make my horse run so far!"

Boss Liu gasped and pulled off the curtain of the carriage. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He carried the three people who were overturned by the carriage out of the carriage like they were carrying chickens.

Then he took out the whip from his waist, wrapped it with the curtain cloth, and whipped them hard.

"I told you to run, I told you to run, ah, are you still going to run now?"

Wrapping them with car curtain cloth is to avoid leaving scars on their delicate bodies and affecting their appearance, not to be gentle on them.

The tough horsewhip lashed at Xie Xiaoyu and Li Zhiyun. Even though they tried hard not to cry out, tears flowed uncontrollably due to the pain.

"Humph!"

Not achieving the desired effect, Boss Liu increased the force of the third whip and lashed at Liu Muqing mercilessly.

At this moment, the horse beside him raised its hooves into the air again and stomped towards Boss Liu. Boss Liu was quick-witted and flipped sideways, then whipped the horse hard with his backhand.

The horse was frightened and in pain, and it ran forward again, dragging the empty carriage.

"We didn't mean to run, the horses ran on their own."

At this moment, Liu Muqing's weak voice happened to sound in Boss Liu's ears, as if full of grievances.

"It runs away by itself. How can it run away by itself if you don't untie the rope?"

Boss Liu stared at the back of the galloping carriage in surprise, wondering what medicine his beloved horse, who was usually very obedient, had taken wrong today.

"Uncle, you didn't have a leash at first."

Liu Muqing just lacks knowledge about the outside world, but she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is quite smart in order to avoid being beaten and scolded by her parents.

She has been able to read people's expressions since she was a child. She would often finish the dirty and tiring work at hand "just in time" at the right time, leaving them with no excuse to beat or scold her.

Ok?

Although he didn't see Li Zhiyun untie the reins, Boss Liu thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

This horse is usually very obedient, so Boss Liu just casually put the reins on the stone lion at the door. Given the horse's intelligence, it is indeed capable of taking off the reins by itself.

"Hmph, you three, don't move here. I'll be back later. If anyone is not here, I'll break her legs!"

Boss Liu uttered a harsh word, and then he jumped ten or so steps like an antelope and chased after the carriage at an even faster speed.

Even if the three teenage girls took a stick of incense to run, they couldn't run far, so Boss Liu wasn't worried at all that he wouldn't be able to find them when he came back.

"Mu Qing, Xiaoyu, what should we do now?"

Li Zhiyun looked at the two of them helplessly and asked while sobbing.

"We can't run away. He is a martial arts master. Even if we run separately, he will catch us quickly."

Xie Xiaoyu's eyes were dazed and his gaze was dejected, and he had obviously lost the idea of ​​escaping.

"Can't we just hide?"

Liu Muqing heard the voice of a nearby squirrel, which said it knew of a large tree hole that could accommodate several people.

"It's useless. The book says that martial arts masters can locate us by sound. They can hear our heartbeats from a long distance away, unless an immortal appears and takes us away directly."

Xie Xiaoyu didn't know that listening to the heartbeat was a skill only possessed by top-notch masters, and mistakenly thought that Boss Liu also had this ability.

"That's it~"

Liu Muqing politely declined Song Shu's invitation and curiously asked Xie Xiaoyu:

"Xiaoyu, what is an immortal?"

"I don't know about immortals either. I read about them in a book. The book said that immortals live forever and are free, flying in the sky and hiding in the ground. They are not bound by worldly constraints and are free..."

Xie Xiaoyu talked incessantly, and when he talked about freedom, his eyes sparkled with purple light, like violets blown by the breeze, intoxicating the heart.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you are amazing. You can actually read."

Li Zhiyun was attracted by the contents of the book that Xie Xiaoyu was telling her. She forgot the pain and looked at him in admiration.

"Hahaha, that's right. I, your sister Xiaoyu, come from a scholarly family after all. I learned to read at the age of seven and could calculate gambling debts at the age of eight. Uh..."

At this point, the smug look in Xie Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly stopped. So what if he could read and write, so what if he came from a scholarly family... Educated people often want to achieve success overnight and make a fortune with a small investment, more than ordinary people.

Her gambling father is the best example.
