On the first day of the trip, there were a lot of changes, and a group of tails followed behind him. Zhong Shao thought that the journey might not be smooth, but the next few days were surprisingly calm, and nothing happened.Even Su Mo gradually got used to the bumps of the carriage and the hardships of the journey, and completely abandoned those sour plums.

On the seventh day of the trip, the group of people behind them who followed them finally disappeared, and Zhong Shao and his party finally encountered an accident again.It was not a man-made trouble, but this accident can be regarded as a "natural disaster" - there are unpredictable things in the sky, especially for people on the road.When the group of people went out in the morning, the sky was still clear, but in the middle of the afternoon, it suddenly rained heavily.

The rain came unexpectedly, and it rained heavily.Pian Zhongshao and his group mostly rode horses, and there were only three carriages in total, not to mention that the carriages might not be able to stop the rain, and so many people couldn't hide in the carriages to avoid the rain.So it was raining heavily, so Su Mo first let Zhong Shao get into the carriage, and then ordered the guards to look for shelter from the rain.

This day's itinerary is just over halfway, and they are still far away from the town where they were originally scheduled to settle.Now they can be said to be deep in the wilderness, without going to the village, not to mention the shop, and they are not familiar with the place!

Zhong Shao couldn't help feeling a little worried, but fortunately, he didn't delay for long, and the guards found a ruined temple by the side of the road ahead.But the ruined temple was not too close, and when the group arrived at the ruined temple, there was already water in the carriage.

When they arrived at the place, before Su Mo and others got off the carriage, the accompanying guard leader said outside the carriage: "Miss, there is only this ruined temple nearby where you can take shelter. However, there are already people in this ruined temple people……"

The curtain of the car was lifted immediately, and Zhong Shao jumped down first while holding the umbrella.She frowned and looked at the leader of the guards, as if she didn't understand why he purposely said this sentence, and said naturally: "Since there is no other place to shelter from the rain, there are people in the temple who can only make do with it here. Could it be possible to drive away those who came first?"

Su Mo followed afterward. Zhong Shao saw it, and quickly moved over to cover Su Mo's head with an umbrella. Her own shoulders were soaked by the rain in an instant.Seeing this, Su Mo quickly pushed her hand, and said, "Just cover yourself, it's not like you don't have an umbrella."

Zhong Shao smiled, but didn't answer, but waited until Qing Luo held up another umbrella to cover Su Mo tightly, and then put the umbrella back.

Su Mo glanced at her helplessly, and then turned his gaze to the leader of the guards outside wearing coir raincoats: "Ah Shao is right, since you have no choice, you can only go with the situation. There is a place to shelter from the wind and rain when you go out , it's great."

However, the leader of the guards still had a bit of trouble on his face. He seemed to be hesitating, hesitated and said repeatedly: "But miss, the ruined temple has been occupied by a group of beggars. With your status, how can you To be in the same room with them..."

There are not many beggars in the ruined temple, and the guards brought by Su Mo are enough to drive them away. If ordinary nobles encounter this kind of thing when they travel, they must be driven away without saying a word.However, Su Mo is not such a domineering person, especially now that it is still raining heavily, it is even more impossible for her to drive away the people who were originally staying in the ruined temple, even if they are a group of beggars with no status.

Sure enough, although Su Mo had some embarrassment on his face when he heard the words, he didn't directly order the guards to drive him away.She turned her head to look at Zhong Shao, only to find that Zhong Shao was staring at the dark ruined temple not far away in a daze.

"Ah Shao, what are you thinking?" Su Mo also glanced at the ruined temple and asked.

Zhong Shao was thoughtful at first, but he came to his senses when he heard the words, but he didn't hide from Su Mo: "I was wondering if those beggars who helped Qu Hengzhou before had something to do with the people in this ruined temple?"

Su Mo laughed when he heard the words, but said: "Although I don't know why those people helped Qu Hengzhou, I also think they probably won't let it go, but there are so many beggars in the world, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Zhong Shao didn't talk anymore, at this time the two adults, Chen and Li, who were in the carriage behind also got out of the carriage.A guard also went over to report the situation in the ruined temple, Master Li said: "Miss Su is of high status, how can she be in the same room with those people? Drive them out, it is not necessary to drive people too far in this rainy day, let them They went to hide from the rain under the eaves, you just watch it."

Su Mo also heard this, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, but at the same time, she also understood that what Master Li did was actually human nature.He wasn't even cruel, he didn't drive people away in the rain, and what he said was also for Su Mo's consideration, so it was hard for her to say anything, otherwise it would not only refute her face, but also seem a little ignorant .

Zhong Shao could clearly see what Su Mo was thinking, but as Su Mo's fiancé-in-law, she also couldn't say anything because of her position.But Mr. Chen, who was in the same car with Mr. Li, said dissatisfiedly: "It's so inappropriate, maybe this ruined temple is the shelter for those beggars. I borrowed it from others to take shelter from the rain." How can a dove occupy a magpie's nest?"

Master Li froze, and was about to say something more, but Master Chen had already headed to the ruined temple with an umbrella.His back is straight, his steps are steady, and his whole body exudes a serious and rigid feeling, which makes people short of breath for no reason.

Zhong Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, ignored Master Li behind him, turned to Su Mo and said, "Ah Mo, let's go and have a look too. If it's really inconvenient, just let the guards surround you." At this point, she remembered that day at Shiliting, when the guards stood around Su Mo, no one else dared to approach him.

After getting out of the car, the rain had already soaked the hem of their clothes in just a few words.Seeing this, Su Mo no longer hesitated, nodded and followed Zhong Shao to the ruined temple.The leader of the guards at the side heard Zhong Shao's words, and beckoned a lot of guards. They surrounded the two of them and walked towards the ruined temple, leaving Mr. Li alone at the end.

************************************************** **

It has been raining heavily outside for more than an hour, and the sky is so dark that it seems that it is about to fall into the night.

After all, Zhong Shao and his party ended up in the ruined temple, and the beggars who had stayed in the ruined temple were not driven away.It's just that there happened to be a hole in the roof in the middle of the ruined temple, and the rain kept falling, so the two groups of people took the hole as the boundary and occupied both ends of the ruined temple.

Some guards searched for some straw and dry firewood from the dilapidated temple, and soon a fire was lit, and everyone gathered around the fire and roasted their rain-soaked clothes casually.

Zhong Shao took a piece of clothes and baked it for a while, and it was completely dry by now.She put down the corner of her clothes and glanced at the beggars who were huddled together opposite, but because the light in the dilapidated temple was too poor, she couldn't see what kind of people there were, and was there anyone she guessed? ?

Su Mo sat beside Zhong Shao with her knees hugged, leaning half on her body. She didn't look at the beggar opposite, but just looked at the gloomy sky outside and sighed: "I really don't know when this rain will fall. Today should Can’t make it to the next town to settle down?”

Everyone didn't speak for a while, it was Zhong Shao who turned his head to look at the sky outside, then frowned and said: "If this continues, even if the rain stops, the road will be difficult to walk, we may have to spend the night in this ruined temple tonight .”

Among this group of people, apart from Zhong Shao, who was disguised as a man, there were only two women, Su Mo and Qing Luo.Before Su Mo could say anything after hearing the words, Qing Luo couldn't help but said in a hurry: "How is this possible?! In this wilderness, the house is full of men, how can you let the lady stay here for the night?!" Not even if they are guards!

Zhong Shao obviously didn't want Su Mo to spend the night in this kind of place, so she took another look outside the ruined temple. The rain outside was still falling, and she didn't know when it would stop.Helplessness and annoyance flashed across her face, but she could only say: "If the rain stops soon and the carriage is difficult to go, we can stay behind. We can go on horseback first, and it shouldn't be a big problem if we are careful."

Qing Luo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Mo shaking his head slightly: "It's inevitable to go out."

Saying this, Su Mo leaned closer to Zhong Shao's body, Zhong Shao was more than happy to do so, and turned slightly sideways, half-embracing her in his arms.Seeing this, the people around turned their faces and lowered their heads, but they didn't see, only Qing Luo gave Zhong Shao another look.

However, with the passage of time, Zhong Shao's inappropriate plan finally came to nothing.The rain didn't stop until it was dark. Although the rain had lightened later, it was too risky to travel in the rain when it was dark.

They had no choice but to spend the night here after all.Fortunately, when we set off in the morning, things were prepared properly. At least the dry food for one or two days was prepared, and Su Mo’s carriage also had a set of her utensils—every time I checked in at the inn, Su Mo’s room Everything in it was to be replaced by Qing Luo, from the big sheets and bedding to the small tea cups, all brought from the Princess Mansion for Su Mo's exclusive use.

Now these utensils have been moved to the ruined temple by the guards. The guards also found a few bamboo poles to build a simple shelf. Qing Luo surrounded an area with cloth and spread bedding and other things inside. Temporarily arranged a place for Su Mo to rest at night.

Even so, it looked very crude, and Zhong Shao felt wronged by Su Mo.Qing Luo even muttered while arranging: "I won't be able to buy these tomorrow, and I have to buy some to make up for them in the next town. I don't know if you can buy good things in those small places..."

While talking about it, time flies by too quickly.It was getting dark soon, and there was nothing to kill time in this ruined temple in the wilderness, and it was even inconvenient to speak because there were too many people around.

Su Mo finally went into the temporary tent to rest early, and Qing Luo also followed.Zhong Shao was standing outside the curtain, separated from Su Mo by only a layer of cloth.A little further away is a circle of guards from the Princess Mansion, while the two adults from Dali Temple are arranged further away. Although they are still in the protective circle of the guards, there is another layer of guards in between.

The ruined temple was very quiet, the beggars on the opposite side seemed afraid to make a sound, and the guards here were also tightly silent.Zhong Shao didn't lie down to rest, but took a quilt and sat halfway against the wall, listening to the pattering rain outside, and gradually fell asleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Shao, who was half-sitting and sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant he heard a strong wind blowing towards his face!

His mind was still confused, but his body had reacted subconsciously, Zhong Shao turned over and hid.But then, the strong wind turned suddenly, and hit her again right after her evasive movement.

Zhong Shao's foothold is not stable, and it's too late to dodge again, let alone think about why this happened, and why the guards around him were quietly touched by others?She couldn't dodge it, so she could only risk raising her hand to block it. Fortunately, what the strong wind was holding was not a sharp weapon, but a fist as hard as iron!

The fist hit Zhong Shao's arm, shaking her arm so painfully that the whole hand lost strength at the same time.Zhong Shao snorted, at the same time took a few steps back, and finally shouted: "Who is it?!"

This sound was quite loud, and instantly woke up the surrounding guards, and the "choking" sound of drawing the sword was heard incessantly.

Hearing this movement, Zhong Shao finally felt a little more at ease. Although she didn't know why the night watch guards would be touched by others, but judging from the current movement, at least these guards were not killed.

She regained her composure, and was about to ask someone to catch the assassin, but found that the person who attacked her just now did not continue to attack.

Clutching his injured arm, Zhong Shao looked up through the rekindled fire, but saw a slovenly old beggar on the opposite side staring at her, completely ignoring the guard who had drawn his sword.

Just as Zhong Shao said "Sure enough" in his heart, he heard the old man on the opposite side staring at her with burning eyes and said, "No, no, your kung fu is wrong!"

The author has something to say:

Old beggar (blowing beard and staring): No, you didn't learn the kung fu I taught you? !

Zhong Shao (face unmoved): Hitting someone as soon as we met...

System (cold): WARNING WARNING!The favorability of the protagonist has decreased!

Old beggar (speechless): ...well, I admit it
