Chapter 366 Resting on the Spot
"It's the first time I feel so tiring riding in a carriage. It's so bumpy." Lin Zhian touched his numb buttocks and climbed down from the carriage.
"I was almost scared to death just now. I thought the horse couldn't hold on any longer," Zhang Mingxiu complained.
After a night of running around, everyone was now resting in a shady area.
Hearing what Zhang Mingxiu and Lin Zhian said, they all nodded in agreement.
"I just wanted to wait until the horses were tired. After all, without these horses, it's hard to imagine what would happen next."
Luo Xiqing echoed, looking at the horses eating grass nearby, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Yes, God still favors us and makes everyone safe!" Lu Zishi said with emotion.
"Is there any powder on your sleeves?" Gu Qinghan suddenly asked.
It was pitch dark last night, and I was so busy being alert to the wolves around me that I didn't notice anything on my body. Now that I have relaxed and it is bright outside, I realized that there is some dust on my sleeves. There is no smell, but it clearly rained yesterday and the ground was wet, so how could there be dust?
"Powder?"
"It's just ordinary powder. Is it weird? I have it on me too."
Li Junyong also noticed that there was also some on his chest, and ran to compare it with Gu Qinghan.
"How could there be? There was no dry spot on the road yesterday." Feng Juesheng said, denying Li Junyong's opinion.
"Yeah, the only thing that can get stuck is yellow mud."
"Come on, let me see if you have any?"
It's not strange for one person, but it's too coincidental for two people. Everyone thought it was a bit strange, so they all started to check their bodies.
"Master, let me see if you have it?" Ading looked at Lin Zhian worriedly, pulled Lin Zhian's sleeve, and looked him up and down.
As for the name that his young master had told him to call at the beginning, he had long forgotten it. After all, everyone here was familiar with each other, so Ading was not so wary.
"I don't seem to have done anything, how could I have it?" Lin Zhian replied, turned around and raised his sleeves, but there was nothing on his body.
Shi Chen on the side had an ugly look on his face. Looking at the white powder on the carriage, he thought that he was still careless. He quickly picked up a leaf and wiped off the powder on the carriage. Although he couldn't guess what it was, it was definitely not a good thing.
Wu Mingshi also saw the powder on the carriage and thought of the group of people that happened last night. He thought it must be related to them.
"We don't have it on us, but there is a little bit of it on the carriage." Lu Zishi said.
"What do you think? Could it be related to that group of people? All of them were injured last night. They must have provoked the wolves, but they just happened to meet people like us who can protect them from disaster and divert the trouble to others." Luo Xiqing made a bold guess.
"What you said makes sense. This wouldn't be the reason we attracted the wolves, so they are chasing us. I saw with my own eyes the wolf rushing towards me, and there was something wrong with its eyes." Li Junyong suddenly had an idea and quickly brushed off the powder on the corner of his clothes.
When everyone heard this, they shook off the powder on their bodies, regardless of whether it was true or not.
Gu Qinghan took out a handkerchief from his bosom, smeared the powder on his sleeve onto the handkerchief, and wrapped it up. Whether this was ordinary powder or something else, he would show it to Xu Yuan later. Gu Qinghan believed that Xu Yuan should be able to use some method to determine what it was.
"But after running all night, we seem to be not far from the North City. Do you see the fork in the road ahead? As long as we get out of the fork, we will be on the main road. As long as we pass the forest last time, it will only take a few days."
Zhang Mingxiu looked at the somewhat familiar road and suddenly exclaimed.
Li Junyong suggested: "Why don't we not travel today and rest here for a while. The horses have been running all night, let them rest. If they get tired, we will suffer."
"Why not? That's great." Lin Zhian agreed with both hands and feet.
So, Gu Qinghan and his group found a place near a water source with dense trees and built a shed on the spot. Some of them looked for firewood, and some built the shed.
After running around for so long, everyone was covered in sweat, so they all tacitly found a sheltered place to wash their bodies. The sun was scorching, and the river water was somewhat warm from the sun.
"Ouch, my god, what's pinching my foot?" Lin Zhian felt a pain at his foot and exclaimed. He was holding a stick in his hand and wanted to fork the small fish in the cracks of the rocks, but he didn't catch the fish and hurt his foot. He shook his foot, but he didn't expect that the thing that was pinching him not only didn't get rid of it, but it got even tighter.
"What's wrong?" Wu Mingshi, who was nearby, swam over quickly. The people around who were wiping their bodies with their bare chests also looked over.
"Master, don't move. I'll help you get it down." Ading volunteered to come over with a wooden stick.
"Hey, wait, it's a crab, Zhian, it's delicious, don't let it go." Li Junyong recognized that it was a good thing, and hurriedly waded over from a distance and shouted loudly to Lin Zhian.
"It's delicious." When Lin Zhian heard that it was delicious, he didn't think the strange insect stuck on his foot was hateful anymore, and tried to catch the insect on his foot.
Ading had already grabbed the crab's other claw with a wooden stick and was trying to pull it off.
"Let me do it, Zhian, just bear with the pain." Lin Congjing took an outer coat, wrapped his hands, and pulled the crab off Lin Zhian's feet. He used too much force and broke one of its claws, but the claw was still stuck on Lin Zhian's foot.
Lin Zhian cried out in pain, and Ading quickly came over and pried off the pliers, only to see that his young master's foot had been pinched and was red and swollen, and bleeding.
"Master, let's go ashore. You need to apply medicine on your feet." Ading supported Lin Zhian and said worriedly.
"Let's go, don't delay everyone's trip."
Lin Zhian also listened to the advice and was indeed in pain, so he stumbled to the shore.
"Zhi'an, wait a minute. I will help you get revenge. I will help you catch a few more of their good brothers." Li Junyong shouted to Lin Zhi'an and walked towards the place where there were cracks in the rocks.
Lin Congjing smiled helplessly. This group of people were really interesting and didn't have any bad intentions. It was quite fun to have these people as companions along the way.
"What are you looking for here?" Feng Juesheng asked puzzledly when he saw Gu Qinghan squatting on the side with his head almost buried in the water.
"Snail." Gu Qinghan held up his coat with one hand and searched under the water with the other.
Just now when I went to collect firewood, I found some wild onions and perilla. Besides, I haven’t eaten much meat on the way, and there are fish in this river, which can be used for seasoning.
