I know that he is going to Longnan.
I thought about it and didn't make things difficult for me. I know how difficult this road is. Of course, it is much more comfortable to ride a horse carriage than riding a horse. Then I said, "Then, thank you for your kind gift."
After saying that, he waved to the person behind him. Du Yan walked up, saluted Pei Yuanhao, and then helped me walk onto the carriage. Su Su and the others followed. Soon my people gathered and prepared to set off.
At this time, Pei Yuanhao walked to the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at me inside.
I also looked up at him: "Do you have anything else to explain?"
He said, "There are people waiting for you in front of you."
“…”
I didn't quite understand what he said, and asked subconsciously: "Who is it?"
"You'll know when you're here."
"Then, what is the place ahead?"
“…”
He did not answer me immediately, but waved to the person behind him. Immediately, a follower sent a bag to his hand, he handed it to me, and said, "I will hand it over to you."
“…?”
I looked at him in surprise, then at the inconspicuous baggage, and did not immediately reach out to pick it up, just asked, "What is this?"
"You continue first."
“…”
I hesitated for a moment, but still took it from him. It was soft and not too heavy.
However, when Pei Yuanhao handed it to me, his eyes looked very serious. He said, "Don't open this thing for the time being."
“…”
"When it comes to that 'ghost town', you can open it again."
“…”
"You will understand if you have something to do."
I frowned.
Nothing else, it was for that "ghost city". There were so many things happening there last time. I really didn't have a good impression of that place and didn't think much about it along the way. But now when he mentioned it, I remembered that if I wanted to go to Wuwei to find Miaoyan and Nangong Lizhu, that "ghost city" was our must-pass path.
He gave me this burden and let me go to the "ghost town" and open it again?
What he just said was that some people were waiting for me "in front", that is - the ghost town?!
Who is waiting for me in the ghost town?
What are you waiting for me to sit?
What exactly is in this baggage?
Too many doubts suddenly surged up at this time, but looking at his gaze, he didn't mean to explain it to me. It was just that solemnity made me know that this matter was definitely not simple.
But I don’t understand why he didn’t say so much time before. He didn’t tell me until we split the way?
Could it be that something is hard for him to speak of?
I was not stupid enough to ask what was in the bag, nor did I open it immediately in a hurry. Instead, I looked at Pei Yuanhao's serious expression, then put the bag aside and said, "I understand."
Pei Yuanhao's eyes were still following the bag. Seeing that I was just putting it aside and no longer wanted to move, he looked up at me and said, "Qingying, I still said the same thing."
“…”
"In the past ten things in life are unsatisfactory. There are some things that you have to be fair."
When I heard this again, my mood became even deeper, but I took a deep breath and said calmly: "Thank you for your reminder, but it's time for me to leave."
“…”
"I want to find some concubine and take my wonderful words back."
“…”
"Just leave here."
Hearing me say this, he didn't say anything else, but took a step back, the curtain fell slowly, and I had only time to see Du Yan bow to him again, then turned over and ordered the people around him to move forward, and then heard a whip, and the carriage was shaking forward under their escort.
Soon, in the smoke and dust behind the carriage, the small post station and the figures of the people standing outside the post station watching us slowly disappeared.
As we move forward, the road is sometimes easy to walk, but sometimes it is very windy and sandy, so it is difficult for us to walk.
Along the way, only Susu was with me in the carriage. It was the first time she walked this road. The overwhelming wind and sand scared her face as if she was earthy. She probably never thought there was such a terrible place in the world. But in order to accompany me, she still gritted her teeth and endured without saying a word.
And along the way, the only one who accompanied me was the burden Pei Yuanhao gave me.
And there are so many mysteries he left for me.
Although the burden is in my hands and can be opened and viewed at any time, and what is inside, including who is in front of me, is always entangled with me, but I did not impulse and resolutely open it in advance.
First of all, I have suffered from Fu Badai's loss of "I told you to demolish it blindly".
Secondly, he has his intention.
No matter what his intention was, I didn't want to destroy my purpose this time because of this. Go to Wuwei, find Nangong Lizhu, and take back Miaoyan. This is what I want to do.
Looking at the world outside the car window, there was a vast yellow sand of the Gobi Desert. There was almost no figure. The winter was not as hot as before, but it was even more desolate. After walking for most of the day, I could see the skeletons of the bison and the branches of dead trees on the withered horizon that had been eaten by the vultures, which added a bit of terrifying death to this desolate world.
However, because of this, I could feel that the people in the guard team that followed me were a little relaxed.
After all, it has been too long and I can't even see a figure.
At this time, I will remain vigilant and lift the curtain at any time. I can see his eyes focused on looking forward and around him. I will pay attention to whether there are any unexpected situations, and only Du Yan is the only one.
That evening, when the sunset slowly fell ahead of us, adding a layer of fire to the deserted Gobi Desert. I picked up a water bag from the car and handed it out: "Du Yan."
He rode his horse by the carriage. When he heard my voice, he hurriedly turned around: "Miss Yan."
"Drink some water, you haven't drunk much water since noon."
"Thank you."
He nodded, then reached out to take the water bag, held the reins with one wrist, and was about to open the lid to drink water, but suddenly, he "um" and put down his hand holding the water bag, looking forward in surprise.
I looked at him and was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"
Instead of speaking, he frowned and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to see what was ahead. I frowned and poked my head out of the carriage, looking forward along his gaze.
