C19 (1/2)

She sat back down. Her heart was beating fast, but she didn't dare to say another word.

Yun Xiang saw the servant in black turn around and looked at the frightened Bi Meng. She couldn't help but exclaim: ”You talk fast. You don't remember what you should say. You must cause trouble for the little miss!”

I, I didn't expect that person to be so fierce, wuu ~ I was so scared …” Bea whimpered softly.

As the two of them were speaking in a low voice, Gu Jinzhu sighed, ”Forget it, our path now is unknown, so we should be cautious. Bi'er, you should be careful in the future.”

Bi Feng hummed and didn't dare to speak again.

She didn't like to eat these sweet pastries. In the past, she had only prepared them for snacks on the road, so she gave the rest to the two girls. She only moistened her lips before putting the hot tea down.

The two of them saw that their young miss's appetite was not very good. Although they were anxious, there was nothing they could do. They could only hope that the journey would be a bit shorter so that they could rest in the inn as soon as possible.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Yiqing still hadn't come back. According to the servant in black, San Ye went to the front to scout and see if there were any inns or restaurants nearby.

Gu Jinzhu looked at the endless grass and trees, and she unknowingly fell asleep again. But this time, Yi Qing wasn't in the car, so she was able to rest on the couch.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already dusk outside, and the inside of the car was also dark. Only the four pearls hanging from the corner of the car emitted a faint glow. She lifted her up as soon as she touched the incense, and the green woman came back with a glass of water.

Although she was extremely thirsty, she didn't dare to drink too much. In this barren mountain and wilderness, it was inconvenient to be anxious about something, not to mention the fact that there were two men she didn't know outside. So she chose to endure.

”What time is it now?” she asked.

”I don't know. The sky got dark earlier. It must have been during the tenth day.” Yun Xiang asked softly, ”Miss, do you need some pastries? However, San Ye said that they are almost there. ”

Gu Jinzhu shook her head as she didn't expect it to be so late. She let the two girls roll up the curtain of the carriage.

The sky outside was extremely dark, and only the faint yellow light of the moon shone from the horizon. The mountains and trees seemed to have turned into countless monsters in the darkness, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they charged towards her.

She felt uneasy and a sense of fear rose up within her. Fortunately, she soon saw the person sitting on the horse beside her.

Under the faint moonlight, that person was riding a horse. His back was straight and he didn't look tired at all. He turned his head and smiled as he heard the sound. He pointed to the front and said, ”We are almost there. Just bear with it.”

The unease and fear she felt earlier disappeared without a trace as she blankly stared at him. She could only see the person in front of her, wearing black hair, the sleeves of her clothes swaying, and the faint moonlight shining on his clothes. It was as if there was a light flowing within them, causing his eyes to shine even brighter.

A poem suddenly appeared in her mind. A smile that could topple a city and a smile that could topple a country.

She didn't think that she would see such an extreme smile on a man's face.

Perhaps it was because it had just rained, but the fresh, moist fragrance of plants and vegetation all around gave one a refreshing feeling. Gu Jinzhu followed the direction that Gu Yiqing was pointing towards and saw that there were indeed twinkling lights. With their current speed, they should arrive in less than an hour.
