521 Alert
It would be too slow for her to walk into town.
It was better to hang herself at the back of the carriage.
After the ice was ready, Xue Erfu and Xue Sanfu drove their family’s carriage to the town to deliver the ice to the Yan family’s residence. The carriage was tied and pulled by their horses.
A large box containing the 60 kilograms was tied tightly to the carriage.
Xue Erfu and Xue Sanfu sat in the front.
One person was enough, but it was better to have two people with each other at night for safety purposes. Even if Xue Sanfu didn’t agree and felt that it would be fine, Xue Erfu insisted on following.
The moon was huge, and the sky was full of stars. They could still see the road, but some of the shadowy areas were particularly dark and invisible.
Jiang Yue was crouching in the darkness cast by the shadows of the trees. The carriage passed by her, but Xue Erfu and Xue Sanfu didn’t see her.
As soon as the carriage passed by, Jiang Yue rushed out of the darkness and quickly climbed onto the carriage. She grabbed the rope that was tied to the wooden box and hid behind it.
The wooden box was so big, and she was so small, so it was definitely enough to cover her and not be discovered by the two, who were sitting in front of the carriage.
Suddenly…
“Phew.”
Xue Sanfu stopped his horse.
Jiang Yue immediately got down from the carriage and hid in a dark corner.
When the carriage came to a complete stop, she was already in the dark.
“Why did you stop?” Xue Erfu didn’t understand.
“Something came up.” Xue Sanfu said indifferently, his face expressionless. He came down from the carriage and went around to the back to take a look.
“Don’t scare me. It’s dark at night and I can’t see that well.” Xue Erfu shivered, but he still quickly got off the carriage and went to the back with his brother.
Whether or not there was anything, he couldn’t let his brother see it alone.
In the darkness, Jiang Yuexin’s heart was in her throat. She didn’t realize how alert Sanfu was in general. This surprised her.
Xue Sanfu strode to the back of the carriage. Seeing that there was nothing behind the carriage, and that his family’s wooden box was still firmly tied to the carriage, he looked around with his fierce eyes.
Seeing that there was nothing, Xue Erfu stopped looking around. Instead, he patted Xue Sanfu, “I was almost scared to death by you. Don’t be so suspicious. There’s nothing here. Let’s go. Did you see anyone else other than us in the middle of the night?”
With that, he pulled Xue Sanfu back to the front seat.
However, Xue Sanfu still turned his head to look again. Seeing that he still didn’t see anything, he decided that his senses were probably wrong. The slight bump in the carriage just now was probably caused by the uneven surface of the road and not something coming up from behind.
With this thought in mind, he pulled the reins again, raised the whip, and drove the horse.
Jiang Yue was already careful enough, but she was even more careful when she hung from the back of the carriage. She only let out a sigh of relief when Xue Sanfu didn’t stop the carriage to check on her.
She was really surprised that she almost got caught.
It really made her look at him in a new light.
The Yan family’s residence and the shop that sold seeds did not have the same path. Not long after they arrived in town, Jiang Yue alighted from the back of the carriage and went to the shop that sold seeds.
Not only was it not the same road, but the Yan family’s residence was also quite far away. Jiang Yue felt that as long as she was fast enough, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to catch up with the carriage and go home after she returned.
When she arrived at the backyard wall of the seed shop, there was really nothing around her that could help her climb up the high wall.
