Chapter 426 Black Shop
Chapter 426 Black Shop
"Go and take out all those clips." Xie Jiaojiao said.
Xu Shan went there quickly.
After getting it, Xie Jiaojiao told them to stop and walk along the way, bury the trap in the snow, and then sprinkle some snow on it so that no one could see it.
Xu Shan sighed and said, "Young Madam is still wise."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's just to survive."
"It's just that some of the clamps will hurt some innocent people."
Xie Jiaojiao calculated in her mind that the distance was about two kilometers. They had set a lot of traps without any rules along the way, which would definitely make it difficult for anyone chasing them.
Just as they expected, the people who were chasing them from behind were riding horses, and their horses' hooves stepped directly on the trap. The horses were in pain and threw the people off. As luck would have it, the horses threw the people into another trap, and the people screamed in pain.
The person running behind him also had his foot caught by the clamp and immediately fell to his knees on the ground.
The animal traps Xie Jiaojiao bought were the best in the shop, so naturally they were seriously injured.
The pursuing team stopped immediately. The leader was so angry that he gritted his teeth. As soon as he got off the horse, his foot was caught by the clamp. He was so angry that he cursed.
I wanted to continue chasing, but before we got far, someone else got hurt...
In the end, everyone had to retreat.
A Tian A Di was sitting in the carriage and didn't dare to sleep.
Xie Jiaojiao patted them on the back and said, "Okay, it's okay. The bad guys won't come after us. You guys take a rest."
The two children finally relaxed.
Xie Jiaojiao let them sleep on the soft couch in the carriage, patted their arms gently and coaxed them to sleep.
"Aunt, are my parents okay?" A Tian asked.
"Don't worry, it's okay, go to sleep, and when you wake up we will be in another place."
The two of them then fell into a peaceful sleep.
When the sun rose the next day, the group finally arrived at another small town.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't dare to show her face, so she arranged for Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng to go to the town and buy some necessities. If the blacksmith shop in the town had weapons or something like that, they could buy some too.
The two nodded.
When they arrived at the town, Xu Shan first walked around the town, and saw portraits of their group of people in the town. The two men looked at each other and went straight to the blacksmith shop. They were surprised to see that the blacksmith shop had knives, as well as bows and arrows, which they bought at once. Thinking that there were only two traps left, the two men bought all the traps in the blacksmith shop.
Finally, I went to the breakfast shop and bought hot buns and steamed buns.
Back in the carriage: "Master and Madam, there are wanted portraits of you all all over town."
The two of them understood immediately, and Xie Jiaojiao said, "We can take these things with us and eat them on the road."
The two men nodded and continued to ride their horses.
Jiang Ruonan looked at the weapons they bought and grabbed the bow and arrow: "Cousin, I know how to do this."
"Then you take it."
Jiang Ruonan nodded and put the bow and arrow on his back.
Jiang Ruonan saw that there were two daggers inside, so he put them away and prepared to give them to Xie Jiaojiao and Li Yan'er so that they could use them for self-defense.
The further north we went, the more difficult the snowy road became to travel on, but fortunately there were horses for sale in the towns we passed by, so we spent some silver and bought two more horses.
"Young Madam, the road ahead is becoming increasingly difficult."
Xie Jiaojiao naturally understood.
But I don’t know if there is anyone chasing me…
"Let's find a town ahead to rest for a while, and then we can figure out how to proceed."
Xu Shan nodded.
Maybe it was because they had walked very far, the further north they went, the less portraits of them there were, just as Xie Jiaojiao had said.
When they arrived at the inn, the waiter exhaled and asked them with a smile: "Are you guys staying overnight or staying at the hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel!"
"Okay, okay, please come in, gentlemen!" Then he shouted inside: "Boss, guests are coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man came over from behind with a smile on his face.
But for some reason, Xie Jiaojiao always felt uncomfortable when she saw his smile, just like the black shop owner seen in TV dramas...
I looked around the inn and saw that the handrail leading up the stairs was fine, but the railing of the stairs was covered with dust.
I immediately felt that this inn was not a good choice.
"How about we change inn?" Xie Jiaojiao said in a low voice.
Although he spoke in a low voice, the waiter smiled and turned around and said, "Sir, our inn is the only one in our Xueyuan Town. If you don't stay here, I'm afraid you will have to travel at night."
After saying this, he looked at Xie Jiaojiao with scrutiny.
Xie Jiaojiao was startled and pretended to be disgusted and said, "Your inn is too unsanitary. Look, these corners are all covered in dust."
The waiter was slightly startled, and threw the handkerchief on his shoulder: "Oh, so, isn't it New Year's Day? This inn is not fully staffed, but don't worry, the room is clean."
As he spoke, he arrived at the room.
"Your rooms are next to each other."
Jiang Weinan nodded: "Prepare some food and bring it to the house later."
"Okay! You guys take a rest first, I'll get ready right away."
As soon as the others left, Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng immediately said, "Master, Madam, there is something wrong with this inn!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
Li Yan'er became nervous: "Cousin, why would I stay with you if I have a problem? How about we move to another place?"
"I just said to change inns. Did you notice the look in the waiter's eyes?"
Everyone nodded.
"And just like he said, this might really be the only inn in this town. We can't change even if we want to. And judging from their looks, they think we're fat sheep. We can't leave even if we want to."
"Then Madam, what should we do next?"
Xie Jiaojiao pondered for a moment. In that case, today, she would teach this shady shop a good lesson!
"Go to the town and buy some more food. We definitely can't eat their food. Also, take a look at how many people they are."
Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng nodded slightly. Just as they were about to turn around and go downstairs, Xie Jiaojiao added, "If there is a pharmacy in town and there is anything that can cause diarrhea or knockout drugs, you can buy some back."
The two were stunned, then they understood.
As soon as they got downstairs, the waiter came out from the kitchen, saw the two of them and immediately ran up, and asked attentively: "Sir, it's so cold, where are you going?"
Xu Shan smiled and said, "I want to go out for a walk and buy some things for tomorrow's journey."
Zuo Cheng also said: "Please feed our horses well later, as we have to travel further tomorrow."
The waiter then smiled with relief: "Don't worry, sir, I will feed you well."
