Chen Mengtian looked at the ashes, and couldn't see the prosperous Yihong Courtyard in the past, and sighed silently.

Her silver taels were also burned away with this fire.

Out of the town's gates, the carriage drove outside the city.

When the sky was dark, sitting in the carriage, Chen Mengtian could even see that in the town behind him, the shopkeeper lit the red lantern at the door.

Although the road outside the city is wide, it is not easy to walk because it is dark.

Chen Baojie is used to taking this road, and the speed of driving the carriage has not slowed down.

"Appeal ......"

Suddenly, Chen Baojie pulled the horse hard, and the carriage shook violently.

The sudden movement made Chen Mengtian, who was sitting in the carriage, lean, and she held the window with both hands and steadied her body hard.

After the carriage stabilized, her face changed, and she shouted outside, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Baojie held the horse steady, looking at it in trepidation, and the figure was halfway there.

The road was too dark, and his carriage was too fast.

When he noticed the figure, he immediately pulled the carriage stiffly.

If the reins hadn't been tightened in time, I was afraid that the carriage would have pressed past the figure in front.

The dark sky made it impossible for him to see how many people were in front of him.

They could only be seen huddled together.

They were walking in the middle of the road, and when the carriage was about to hit them, the men hugged each other tightly.

The sound of eager inquiry in the carriage temporarily stabilized Chen Baojie's panicked heart.

He said in a hoarse voice: "There are people in front, and the carriage almost hit them." ”

Knowing that he almost hit someone, Chen Mengtian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She steadied herself, straightened her clothes, and reached out to lift the curtains.

Q: "Did you hurt anyone?" ”

Chen Baojie got out of the carriage and prepared to take a look.

Regarding Chen Mengtian's inquiry, in fact, he didn't know.

Although he retracted the reins in time just now, he didn't know if he had touched them.

However, it is strange why the frightened screams of these people are not heard.

Normal people are not so calm when they are in danger.

Sensing this, Chen Baojie's face showed vigilance, and he said to the girl in the car: "Sister Tian, don't get out of the car first, I'll take a look." ”

"Okay." Chen Mengtian could hear the defensiveness of his words, and there was still a little solemnity.

She had even had the gold needle ready.

Before, she guessed that it would be the county order that was secretly stumbling up.

The heart that had been relieved was brought up again.

Chen Baojie stepped forward step by step, standing in the middle of the road, hugging several people tightly.

I couldn't tell if these people were men or women.

Just as Chen Baojie approached, among the few people who hugged each other, someone looked up.

She spoke up.

"Girl?"

An uncertain voice rang out.

The voice is hoarse, as if it has not drunk water for a long time and has gone through the vicissitudes of life.

But if you look closely, you can still hear a little surprise from this voice.

The most important thing is that the person who speaks up is a woman.

Hearing this familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice, Chen Mengtian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It was familiar because she had heard it before.

The strangeness is because of the pain in the woman's words, and the vicissitudes of life, so that for a while, she did not find the owner of this voice from her mind.

"Cousin, wait!"

Seeing that Chen Baojie continued to step forward, Chen Mengtian shouted to stop him.

She jumped out of the carriage herself, and from the side of the carriage, she took out the lantern that hung on the carriage.

Lighting it in his hand, he walked to the middle of the road.
