Chapter 257 The Little Girl Reports
After Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, she turned to look at the people behind her and shouted:
"It's getting dark, let's stay here tonight."
As he spoke, he directed Ning Huaizhi to park the ox cart under a big tree not far from the mother and daughter.
Jiang Yuwei got off the ox cart and told Tiezhu:
"Tiezhu, take Goudan and Ningzhao with you to find some more grass, even dry grass is fine, to fill the stomachs of the cows and horses so they won't be late for tomorrow's journey."
After hearing this, Tiezhu hurriedly asked Ning Zhao and the others to leave.
Jiang Yuwei then said to Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang:
"There are many refugees here right now. Take good care of your belongings. Don't give them anything you want. I'm afraid they will rob us. Don't light a fire tonight. Just eat some dry food in the car. Rest for the night and leave early tomorrow."
After hearing this, Wang Ma looked around cautiously and nodded.
"I think we should let the men take turns to keep watch tonight. There are too many refugees here. We have to be on guard."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said to Yun Qing and Ning Wu:
"You two will be on guard in the first half of the night. Don't fall asleep. If you have nothing to do, just walk around in our car."
Then he looked at Ning Zixuan and Ning Chunlin and said:
"You two will be on guard in the second half of the night. Since we are walking on the road, don't say anything about the young master. The most important thing is that we get to the capital safely."
Ning Zixuan naturally had no objection and just nodded. Ning Chunlin was about to open his mouth to refute, but when he met Jiang Yuwei's gaze, he had to retract his head.
Xu Qianqian seemed to have noticed that Ning Chunlin seemed to be very afraid of Jiang Yuwei, so she said unhappily:
"Brother Chunlin, you are the young master of the palace, how can I let you keep watch at night? Why don't you let me take your place?"
After hearing this, Wang Ma, who was standing by, immediately felt that Xu Qianqian was really stupid.
Even she could see that Jiang Yuwei deliberately arranged Yun Qing and Ning Zixuan, who were both highly skilled in martial arts, to guard the first and second half of the night respectively, and also asked each of them to bring Ning Wu and Ning Chunlin, who were of average skills. This combination was a safer choice.
Now, in order to show her courtesy, Xu Qianqian actually offered to keep watch. She really had no idea what would happen if these starving refugees really went crazy.
Before Wang Ma could speak to stop her, she heard Jiang Yuwei say coldly:
"You want to keep watch? I think it's not enough for you to be captured and married, but you have to let these refugees eat you alive. Since you want to keep watch so much, then this task is given to you!"
Xu Qianqian's face changed immediately after hearing this. She looked at Jiang Yuwei in shock and said:
"Well, I, I just feel sorry for Chunlin. What have I done wrong?"
Jiang Yuwei looked back at Xu Qianqian and said with a smile:
"You are right, so I agree to let you take over the night watch for your brother Chunlin."
After hearing this, Ning Chunlin looked at Xu Qianqian with gratitude.
Seeing that Ning Chunlin didn't refuse and really wanted her to keep watch, Xu Qianqian took out her handkerchief, covered her face and started crying:
"Jiang Yuwei, what grudge do you and I have? Why do you always target me? Woo woo..."
Jiang Yuwei rolled her eyes speechlessly after hearing this, glared at Ning Chunlin and said:
"A man like you is worthy of having two wives? Can't you see that Xu Qianqian doesn't want to keep watch and is crying for you to give her a way out? You are so stupid."
Then Jiang Yuwei looked at Xu Qianqian and said:
"In the future, you and Ning Chunlin should stop getting involved with me. I have no other problems except that I like to tell the truth. If I reveal all your tricks to deceive men, you will be embarrassed, don't you think?"
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Xu Qianqian no longer dared to pretend to cry. She quickly raised her head and looked at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"I'm talking to Brother Chunlin, what does it have to do with you? Go and do your own thing!"
Jiang Yuwei rolled her eyes at Xu Qianqian and walked away without looking back. As long as Xu Qianqian didn't come to get involved with her, it would be none of her business what she did.
Jiang Yuwei got on her own ox cart and saw from a distance that the mother and daughter had finished eating. Only then did she feel relieved.
But just as she was about to lower the curtain to eat, she saw a group of men walking around the mother and daughter. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei immediately became alert.
It was a pity that she was too far away to hear what they were saying.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuwei watched for a while and saw that the group of men did not seem to do anything bad. They just chatted with the mother and daughter for a few words and then left. Only then did she feel relieved and started to eat dinner.
Jiang Yuwei called Ning Zhao and Goudan to the ox cart to eat. After dinner, everyone slept on the floor to rest as usual.
Jiang Yuwei put all the things into the space while no one was paying attention. Her eyelids were twitching violently, making her a little nervous.
Now I put away all the food and supplies. If the car next to me is really robbed by refugees, I will have food to provide for everyone.
Jiang Yuwei was thinking about this and was about to close her eyes for a while when she heard a very soft voice outside the car calling her:
"Good man, are you asleep?"
Jiang Yuwei gently lifted the curtain and saw the little girl who had just asked her for food looking around awkwardly.
Jiang Yuwei smiled and asked:
"What's wrong, little girl?"
Seeing that no one noticed her, the little girl leaned over to Jiang Yuwei and whispered:
"Just now, a group of men came to ask my mother and me about your situation. When they were leaving, I heard the leader say that they would come to rob you at midnight tonight."
Jiang Yuwei's expression suddenly froze when she heard this, then she looked at the little girl and said:
"Little girl, thank you for telling me this. Go quickly and find your mother. Stay away tonight to avoid getting hurt."
The girl nodded heavily at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"You guys should be careful too. I think they are carrying knives."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded at the little girl, then waved her hand to signal her to leave quickly.
Ning Daya, who was on the ox cart at the moment, heard this and immediately said nervously:
"Sister Yuwei, what should we do?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Daya, patted her shoulder and said with a smile:
"Have you forgotten how you killed someone with a dagger? It's the same tonight as it was that day."
After hearing this, Ning Daya's eyes suddenly became firm, and she couldn't help but reach out and tightly grasp the dagger at her waist.
Jiang Yuwei said to Ning Daya:
"Go quietly to the back and tell them about this. Ask them to prepare their weapons. If those people really dare to come today, we will make sure they never return."
After hearing Jiang Yuwei's instructions, Ning Daya quickly jumped off the ox cart and went to the back to report the news.
Liu looked at Jiang Yuwei helplessly and said:
"Yuwei, I don't know how to do anything. I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you at a time like this."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Liu and smiled:
"You know how to pour pepper water, right? You and Wan'er will stay on the cart and guard it. If anyone dares to touch our cart, you can pour pepper water on him and Wan'er will shoot him with an arrow. We will beat him to pieces."
