Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 114 Rushing

Xiao Guoer looked at Yingniang, who seemed to have been reborn, and felt comforted. But thinking of the upcoming separation, she couldn't help but hug her tightly, tears welling up in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs.

"Sister, you must take good care of yourself, so that Xiao Guoer can rest assured thousands of miles away."

Yingniang held Xiaoguoer in her arms, gently stroking and patting her back. No matter when, Xiaoguoer could always make her feel the warmth of the world when she was disheartened.

"Silly girl, you have to take good care of yourself. Sister will be waiting for you to come back home every day."

Yueya bought a big bag of dry food, and Mrs. Zhou also prepared water. The food and drinks in the carriage were already ready. Xiaoguoer only took two inconspicuous men's clothes for change. She did not wear or take the clothes that Tang Jingchen gave her.

When you go out, you must never show off your wealth.

Yueya looked at the second girl reluctantly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Guoer saw it all and understood what the little girl was thinking, but she couldn't take her with her. The danger of Huaiyang was still unknown, but it was dangerous anyway. Why should she let her take the risk?

He took the little girl's hand and shook it gently, "Good Yueya, take good care of the big girl. When I come back, I will definitely take you out to play happily."

Yueya had never been able to resist the second young lady's coquetry. At this moment, the last bit of disappointment in her heart was also soothed, and she responded softly, "Then the second young lady must not break her promise."

"Yeah, don't worry, it's the puppy who's lying."

Yueya couldn't hold back her expression any longer and laughed. Which master would say to a maid, "A liar is a puppy"? Only her second daughter would.

"Second Miss, I also went to Tang's Dim Sum Shop and bought some of your favorite dim sum and preserves. I put them in the carriage for you. The weather is hot, so remember to eat them on the way and don't let them go bad."

"Okay, okay, Yueya is the best."

Xiao Guoer went back to the east wing and took out a few silver bills and put them in the innermost layer of her clothes. She also put a whole box of bean flour powder into her bag. After making sure that all the important things were taken, she was ready to go out.

The driver that the owner of Jinxianglou had found had also arrived. After briefly exchanging names, Xiao Guoer once again said goodbye to the three people in the courtyard, boarded the carriage neatly, and resolutely set off towards Huaiyang, a city shrouded in fear by the plague.

Although she knew that the road ahead was uncertain, she was extremely determined at the moment.

There has to be a bit of adventure in one's life, right?

This way you won't be filled with regrets when your life comes to an end.

Xiao Guoer slept in the open air during the journey, and only took a short break when it rained or the weather was extremely bad. If she found an inn at night, she would only sleep for three hours. If she didn't find an inn, she would spend the night in the car. The rest of the time she was on the road, and the weather was hot, so it was very hard.

But compared with the coachman Huang Gui, she had no right to complain about being tired or suffering.

Sometimes she could take a nap in the car, although it was bumpy, but she was resting after all. But he was actually driving, and even when there was no inn at night, he would just stay by the car and sleep for the night. Although it was not cold in the summer, it was really hard.

Despite such hard work, he never complained, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Brother Huang, you've worked hard these past few days. When we get to town, let's take a good rest. We won't be traveling tonight. We've run out of dry food, so we need to buy some more. You should relax."

Huang Gui smiled and said, "You are too polite, young shopkeeper. I have run more tiring routes before, so this is nothing. But there is a forest ahead, and there may be wolves there at night, so we can't go any further. It would be safer to go tomorrow."

"I will listen to Brother Huang. Take this money and see what you need to buy. If it's not enough, just tell me." Xiao Guoer took out a few taels of silver from her bosom and handed it over.

Huang Gui was honest and simple. He was not very excited when he saw the white silver. He just said honestly, "I don't have anything to buy, so I don't need it."

Xiao Guoer stuffed the silver directly into the hands of this overly honest man, "Brother Huang, you don't have to be polite to me. Even if you don't want to buy anything, just take it."

Huang Gui had no choice but to put the silver in his hand into his arms and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, young shopkeeper."

"You are Welcome."

Xiao Guoer got off the carriage and checked into the inn. After taking a shower, she washed off the sweat and stickiness on her body. Only when she lay down on the soft bed did she let out a sigh of contentment.

The carriage shook her so much that she felt dizzy. Even now, half an hour after leaving the carriage, she could still feel her internal organs swaying up and down and left and right.

But it was really too much suffering. When she sees Jingchen again, she will tell him about the hardships she has gone through and ask him to compensate her!

What kind of compensation do you want? This is a question that needs to be carefully considered.

As she thought about it, the little girl pouted in grievance, her nose and eyes felt sore. Jingchen, where have you gone? Why can't I catch up with you?

It was not difficult to inquire about the Eighth Prince's team, and there were quite a few guards following him. Perhaps the emperor felt a little guilty, or was worried that his son would be assassinated again, so he sent a small team to protect and follow him.

What's more, the Eighth Prince went to Huaiyang to control the plague in order to appease the people and make them grateful for the emperor's love for the people.

Therefore, the Eighth Prince's whereabouts were not low-key. On the contrary, wherever he went, he would publicize it widely to let all the local people know how wise and benevolent the current emperor was, and how he loved his people so much that he would not hesitate to let his own prince take risks.

Xiao Guoer followed the people's praises all the way and chased for five days but still did not catch up, even though she was clearly trying her best.

This only shows that the Eighth Prince and his entourage were traveling very fast and did not waste time on the road. It was probably because the plague in Huaiyang had reached a very serious level and they had no choice but to keep on traveling.

Xiao Guo'er was vaguely guessing that the fatigue from the past few days was finally too much to bear. Her mushy brain finally stopped working and she fell into a deep sleep in the dark.

Early the next morning, Xiao Guoer took the dry food prepared by the waiter and set out again on the journey to Huaiyang.

Xiao Guoer leaned against the wall of the car, thinking boredly that this could be considered a heroic act of chasing her lover across thousands of miles, and she was even moved by herself.

When Jingchen sees her, he will definitely be surprised and happy. Thinking that such a scene must be very interesting, Xiao Guoer felt a sense of anticipation in her heart and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The expected scene came as expected, but unfortunately it only lasted for a quarter of an hour.
