After a while, You Ma came back, went to the car and reported, "Miss Si, there is a peasant riot ahead, so no cars are allowed to pass."

With a click, Lai Fang pushed open the sliding door and jumped out of the car, "I'll go and have a look." This is like traveling by car, whether you are driving or riding in a car, you will feel tired after sitting for a long time.She decided to follow her body's instructions and get up and walk. She didn't know how long this break would take.

"Miss, please come with me." Arima bowed and asked her to come forward, Lai Fang shook his head, "You are here to protect them." Arima raised his head in doubt, and then looked down as if thinking of something , Respectfully said "Yes." Lai headed towards a crowded place, on the official road, several warriors stood a few steps apart, blocking the road.At this time of year, there is no one on the official road.If it weren't for the occasional encounters on the road, Lai Fang would almost think that this era is sparsely populated.Lai Fang walked over on his own, seeing her young and coming on foot, no one thought of trying to stop her, they just regarded her as a spectator.Don't look at Lai Fang's inconspicuous clothes, maybe wearing unpatched clothes, he is already a rich man, and seeing that her servants are driving a bullock cart, they can be considered a person of status.They didn't want to offend her, so they turned a blind eye and let her go.

When Lai Fang saw the so-called "riot", it was not as chaotic as she imagined, it was very orderly.No wonder a horse showed such a strange expression just now when she heard that she was being asked to protect the people in the car. A middle-aged woman in a gorgeous Wu suit was standing on the road, surrounded by samurai. There were more than a dozen horses and a gorgeous car. carriage.The peasants knelt on the ground in the street, and there were three people a little closer to the middle-aged woman, who were obviously the leaders.They all knelt respectfully, without anger or excitement, and without weapons in their hands, as if they had come out to meet the lord.

The leader respectfully raised the paper scroll filled with statements and collection items above his head, waiting for the lord to read it.The rich middle-aged woman glanced at the samurai beside her. The latter stepped forward to take the scroll, and the leading farmer quickly knelt down and waited silently.The lord took the scroll and unfolded it gently, with some distance between them, Lai Fang could also feel her contempt and indifference.It was just a piece of paper, but she looked at it for a long time, probably thinking about what was said on the paper.During this period, the farmers were kneeling low, no one begged, no one moved, no one raised their eyes secretly, and no one whispered to each other, which made Lai Fang feel strange that they were just like the dust on the ground. soil.

Lai Fang suddenly felt a little cold, this feeling has been with her since she killed someone last night.She crossed her arms, found a tree planted by the roadside and leaned against it, and looked at it coldly.After an unknown amount of time, the lord handed the scroll to the man dressed as a warrior beside him, and nodded.The samurai took the scroll, looked at it quickly, and said, "Although your request is reckless, the lord has decided to accept your request for the sake of winter's sadness. What was paid before is ignored, and the rest will not be paid. gone."

With a buzz, the peasants kneeling on the ground whispered, "Great!" "Great, the lord agreed." "We were so rude, and your Excellency didn't ask the crime." "This winter can pass." "Thank God" "God Ah, it actually succeeded." From their words, Lai Fang could hear their overjoyed.

"No noise!" The samurai stomped his feet, the peasants shut up, and knelt down joyfully. Everyone was thankful that they could survive the long winter.Lai Fang thinks that his cognition of the relative freedom of the political atmosphere in this era still has some basis.She felt that the stiffness of her limbs due to the cold eased a little, she stretched her limbs, and felt that since the matter was over, it was time to get back on the ox cart and prepare to set off.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I heard the warrior just said coldly, "The lord is tolerant, the leader will only be hanged." Lai Fang paused, looking back in disbelief, they are all dead, so why? Tolerance?The peasants just said they were right, and the leader kowtowed to thank him, as if the lord's decision was really tolerant.Everyone bowed and bowed, the lord got into the carriage, all the attendants got on their horses, the warriors who blocked the way also left in a line, and some people gave the girl who was watching strangely.Lai Fang stared blankly at the people who were about to leave. A few warriors stayed behind and started nailing wooden stakes, ready to hang them.It wasn't until the lord's convoy was far away that these peasants stood up one after another and congratulated each other. Most of them bowed to the three leading men and promised something.

But Lai Fang couldn't listen to a word, she just felt her ears buzzing, like cicadas singing in a summer afternoon, one after another.She looked at the almost erected cross, subconsciously turned away, even staggered a step, almost fell on the road.She didn't know what she was running away from, she felt like someone was chasing after her.And the people who were chasing her were those smiling peasants, who seemed to say congratulatory and grateful words, but made her fall into an ice cave.In fact, no one paid attention to this girl who came and went in a hurry. The atmosphere was as joyful as a celebration after the autumn harvest. This was undoubtedly a major victory for them.

Lai Fang felt her stomach was tightly clenched by one hand. She took a deep breath, but it didn't relieve the feeling. In the end, she staggered a few steps, supported the tree by the roadside, and vomited again.Their ox cart was not too far from the scene of the incident, and there was no gap between them. There was a horse sitting in the driving place, watching Lai Fang from a distance, his cold heart suddenly became soft and sore.She seems to understand Lai Fang, but she doesn't seem to understand.If Lai Fang was a child, Arima would think that she had seen the cruelty of the world and the cruelty of adults, but she was not. Where did she grow up in the past 14 years, Arima could not help but have such doubts in her heart .

When Lai Fang walked back to the ox cart in a nonchalant manner, Arima neither asked nor stepped forward to help, but just stood respectfully beside the cart.Laifang refused Arima's hand to help her, supported her body, and got into the car.When she entered the carriage, she didn't even know how pale she looked.She now feels as if she has eaten a good dish, but at the end of the meal, there is a fly in the dish that is disgusting.Ah Yuan thought strangely, it was just an ordinary peasant riot, why did Miss come to this?But she still nimbly helped Lai Fang lean on the square pillow, poured a glass of water for her, and forced her to drink it.Even Yu Xumo, who had never dared to meet Lai Fang's eyes, looked at her worriedly.

The ox cart moved slowly, and when it was about to reach the scene of the incident, the sound of clanging, yelling of fixing stakes, and joyful voices of farmers could still be heard outside.Lai Fang felt that the picture in front of her was starting to spin and float, but when she saw Ah Yuan reaching out to open the window curiously, she pushed the window shut, which shocked Ah Yuan greatly.Lai Fang rarely stared at A Yuan ferociously, and shouted angrily, "Don't look at it!" She didn't know whether she was afraid that A Yuan would feel as uncomfortable as her when she saw it, or that she would see the same expression on A Yuan's face. Farmer-like indifferent or even happy look.

"Miss." A Yuan looked at her in horror. Lai Fang felt that his head was heavy and his body was very light, and he fell over at once. All that echoed in his ears were A Yuan's exclamation, and even Yu Xumo's voice. .She just felt very tired, very cold, very cold, she liked the darkness in front of her eyes, she needed to rest, and even thought that it would be nice if she could go back to the original world again, when she opened her eyes, everything here was just a dream.

Lai Fang had a lot of dreams. For a while, it was the sad look of her father when she asked her where her mother was for the first time; Shopping together, the various expressions of the people in the dream, whether sad or happy, eventually turned into the smiling faces of those farmers.Those people seemed to see her suddenly, their mouths gradually became bigger, and they came towards her.

She screamed and ran, but her legs were as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't move. She wanted to call for help, but she couldn't make a sound.She desperately tried to escape and shout out, but finally, she woke up with a start.It turned out that it was really a dream.She opened her mouth, but did not make a sound, opened her eyes, saw the dim flickering lights, and closed her eyes in disappointment.It turned out that she was still in a nightmare.

Lai Fang felt cold and sticky all over his body, probably because he had a fever.She freed her hand and touched her cold forehead, and the fever subsided.She tried to stand up, but found that Yu Xumo had fallen asleep lying on her lap, with a basin of water beside her.Lai Fang laughed and scolded in his heart, feeling that he was suppressing himself, no wonder she couldn't move her legs in the dream just now, but the corners of her mouth were raised.Yu Xumo was woken up by her flipping, opened his blurred eyes, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, it can be considered that the fever has subsided."

Yu Xumo wanted to stand up, but suddenly knelt back on the tatami. He rubbed his numb knee and took a painful breath.Seeing this, Lai Fang stretched out his hands and pressed several acupuncture points on him. He gasped from the pain, but he didn't refuse.After the severe numbness, the muscles and blood seemed to be active again, Yu Xumo tried to move his legs, and opened his eyes in surprise.Lai Fang withdrew his hand, looked at him quietly, and asked, "How long have I burned?"

"It's been a whole night. I asked a doctor to come and see you. They said that you were frightened and stagnated in your heart. It's good to let it out after you've been sick, otherwise it's easy to leave the root cause of the disease." Yu Xumo lowered his eyes and looked at himself He glanced at Lai Fang's hand secretly, feeling that it was bigger and bigger in his heart.Lai Fang is very tall, but Yu Xumo is taller than her, but this hand, I don't know if it is because of martial arts, Lai Fang's hand is as big as his, with well-defined joints, slender and long Power is nice to look at.Yu Xumo scratched his knees and refused to look up at her. Thinking of his fear of her, he felt guilty in his heart.She said that she was a few years younger than herself, but she had to face so many emergencies alone. She couldn't help her, but she rejected her because of fear.

Thinking about it, Yu Xumo plucked up his courage and looked up at Lai Fang, who was also staring at him like a torch.Yu Xumo's face turned red, and all the courage he had mustered up was gone. He quickly lowered his head and said, "I'll pour the water out, and then I'll get you some hot food." Looking at him holding the Seeing the figure of the water basin running out in a hurry, Lai Fang thought, why does he blush so easily?I can't eat people myself, okay?The mood is a little lighter.She has always felt Yu Xumo's defense against her. She thought she didn't care, but now she is relieved, thinking, it seems that she still cares.The unhappiness between the two of them disappeared without a trace after this incident.This may be that there is a person who is invincible and invulnerable, which makes you feel inferior and resistant, but seeing her weak side, you suddenly feel that this person is easy and approachable.

Madoka followed Yu Xuma, came in with hot porridge and a pot of hot water, Yu Xumo took Lai Fang's clean clothes, put them next to Lai Fang pretending not to care, "Wipe yourself, change into clean clothes , don’t catch a cold anymore, it’s still a long way. Eat the porridge and sleep again.” Lai Fang nodded, tried to see if he was fine, and asked to come by himself.Knowing her habit, Madoka didn't argue with her, got up and went out, and Arima naturally followed closely behind, but the two of them stared at Yu Xuma who also followed, and were stunned for a moment. "I, I'll go and see if there are any clean bedding in the car. Her body is covered with sweat." After speaking, she turned around and left regardless of other people's reactions.Madoka came to his senses, and hurriedly chased after him, "Wait, I'll help you." Arima thought about it strangely, shook his head, and followed.

A group of people tossed and fell asleep again, and it was a while later.Everyone slept very soundly, probably because people can easily relax after fatigue and tension.However, Lai Fang couldn't fall asleep anyway. Hearing the shallow breathing of Yu Xumo beside her, she only felt itchy in her heart, so she simply got up, propped her head to one side and tilted her head to look at Yu Xumo.
