Cheng Wenwen covered her face in panic, stared at the man and asked: "What woman? I don't know what you are talking about!"

The man sneered and his eyes fell on the bag behind Cheng Wenwen: "Your clothes are all women's clothes."

Cheng Wenwen suddenly realized that she had just torn off a piece of the skirt, which was red. He could see even such a tiny bit of it, which showed that this man had excellent observation skills.

Cheng Wenwen became more wary of him and held the dagger in her hand even tighter, fearing that he would do something to her.

"Don't worry, I'll get off when we get to a safe place!"

The man leaned against the car and closed his eyes to rest, as if he didn't take Cheng Wenwen seriously at all.

Cheng Wenwen thought to herself, why not take this opportunity to stab him and kick him out of the car?

But he can be so free of grudges, does he have any backup plan?

In the end, Cheng Wenwen didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of angering this person and causing him to do something unfavorable to her. What should she do then?

The carriage was moving slowly and was about to arrive at a nearby town.

Cheng Wenwen plans to go into the town first to find a place to live.

"Brave man, it's safe here, you..."

Cheng Wenwen’s subtext is: It’s safe now, you should go now, right?

The man woke up in a daze, as if he had really had a good sleep.

"Where are you?"

“This place is called Qingxi Town.”

"Qingxi Town! I know it! Let's find an inn to rest!"

"what?"

"I need to recover from my injuries! I must rest!"

Cheng Wenwen clenched her fists. This guy was even blaming her!

"Brave man, I'm in a hurry to get on my way. How about I help you pay one month's rent in advance and you let us go?"

"Don't call me a warrior, it sounds weird. My name is Zhai Yao! Everyone calls me Brother Zhai, or A Yao!"

Cheng Wenwen's face froze. Who wants to know what this guy's name is?

But even though she was worried, she still asked with a friendly face: "Brother Zhai, can you let us go?"

Zhai Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and said, "Okay! Just go!"

"Thank you very much!" Cheng Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhai Yao looked at Cheng Wenwen's expression, and smiled even more deeply. He said, "But I think if you were to go on this journey alone, you would be eaten to the bone before you get very far!"

"What?" Cheng Wenwen frowned. This person was cursing her!

She was always walking on official roads, how could something go wrong so easily?

But think about it, when Qi Shuo was here, they still encountered bandits with so many people. Now that there are only Pei'er and I, it is inevitable that we will be afraid and have to hire some people.

But she didn't believe the person in front of her.

"Brother Zhai, you don't have to worry about us."

Cheng Wenwen took out a small bag of silver and handed it to him, "This is for your room fee."

"Okay! Let's go then!"

Zhai Yao took the silver, opened the curtain, jumped off the carriage, and headed straight for the inn in the town.

Cheng Wenwen and Pei'er turned the carriage around, wanting to escape immediately and get away from this dangerous man.

However, before their carriage left the town, it was stopped by three or four burly men holding hoes.

Pei Er said in panic: "Miss...what should we do?"

Cheng Wenwen was also a little scared when she saw those people, but she didn't know the situation, so she could only pretend to be calm and asked them: "Brothers? I wonder why you are stopping us?"

"Our boss said that we can't let you go!" said a sturdy man in the lead.

"Who is your boss?"
