Of course, Lin Xu also knew this, but not onlv did she want more monev and food to protect herself, she also wanted to use this opportunity to ask Gu Ying to travel with her and protect her, and even achieve her deeper purpose.
Therefore, after adding fuel to the fire just now, she chose to remain silent and quietly watch the situation develop.
Miss Tian snorted but could not refute Madam Du’s words. In addition, MO Ruyue’s sharp blade-like gaze was fixed on her, as if giving her a silent warning.
Seeing that Miss Tian had finally shut her mouth, MO Ruyue tsked uninterestedly.
This person was quite stubborn, but she ran away too quickly. It was not challenging at all.
Gu Ying quickly took out the rest of the items and distributed them to everyone according to the number of heads they had. He even did not leave out the two crazy women.
“These two lunatics won’t be able to use it even if they take it. It’s enough to give them food. It’s better to leave the money to someone else.”
Miss Tian stared fixedly at the things that belonged to the other two people, and she quietly had other ideas in her heart.
“Why do you care how others use their own things? Just mind your own business!”
Madam Du saw through Miss Tian’s thoughts at a glance. She stared at her warily and then looked worriedly at the two crazy women.
Her benefactor was still here, and she dared to express her feelings like this. If her benefactor wasn’t here, wouldn’t she be openly snatching it?
Unlike her usual self, Miss Tian didn’t say anything, but her eyes kept wandering between the bags of the two women.
Lin Xu’s heart sank when she saw this.
Since her benefactor did not stop her, it meant that he did not care about what would happen after he left.
Or rather, even if something were to happen now, he would not interfere at all.
From the beginning to the end, he had never thought of being responsible for this group of people.
Gu Ying and MO Ruyue had already moved the food and belongings to the carriage. Now that they had distributed the supplies, they were ready to set off. Initially, Miss Tian was unconcerned, but when she saw the two of them get into the carriage, she became anxious.
She rushed to the front of the carriage and opened her arms, anxiously saying, “Benefactor, you’re leaving after giving us our share? We’re all weak women, how are we going to drag these things out of here!”
“Move!” He shouted.
Gu Ying was too lazy to explain to her.
He wasn’t her father who had to take care of her every day.
“Benefactor, we can’t force you to stay if you want to leave. We only ask you to take these dry rations with you. I don’t know when we’ll have the chance to repay your kindness in the future.”
“Please accept this small gift.”
Lin Xu came over with a basket and pleaded earnestly.
MO Ruyue glanced at her and reached out to take the basket.
A horse carriage slowly drove out of the village. MO Ruyue sat on the shaft of the carriage with a basket in her arms, humming a little tune.
“You’re in such a good mood?”
Gu Ying asked with a smile as he drove the carriage.
“Isn’t it a good thing that you didn’t return empty-handed after coming out?” MO Ruyue glanced at him and said with a smile that wasn’t a smile. “With this batch of food, we can leave without worry.”
Gu Ying seemed to have caught on to her words, but what he said was a completely different matter.
“There was nothing to worry about. Man proposes, God disposes. We have already done our best. There is no need to have any psychological burden.”
MO Ruyue suddenly paused and said self-deprecatingly, “We used to be assassins, but now we’re all doing the business of saving people. Do you think we’ve improved or regressed?”
“No matter good or bad, I’ll do whatever you do. I’ll always follow you.”
Gu Ying’s answer was the same as usual.
When MO Ruyue heard this, she looked at him and smiled.
As long as the two of them were together, she would be willing to do all the bad things, and he would do the same.
Gu Ying saw that she kept holding the basket and frowned. “Do you really want to eat that woman’s food?”
“Why would I? I know that she doesn’t have a good heart. Why would I still eat her food?”
MO Ruyue shook her head. She took out a snow-white steamed bun from the basket, broke it into pieces without hesitation, and scattered it as she walked.
“Then, are you a sign for them to catch up?”
This time, Gu Ying simply slowed down the speed of the carriage.
“And then find a few living ancestors for the survivors to raise?”
Although MO Ruyue knew that Gu Ying was teasing her, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“Hehe.”
Gu Ying chuckled and focused on driving the carriage.
This time, he deliberately took a long detour and drove the carriage to another road, mixing it with the ruts that were heading south.
MO Ruyue had also almost finished scattering the steamed bun crumbs in her hands. The two of them got off the carriage at the same time, and she directly put the carriage into her interspace.
“Alright, no one will know where we are going now.”
She dusted her hands and looked at the disguise she had put up, feeling very satisfied.
He did not do all this to guard against Lin Xu, but to guard against others.
Although the location of the village was a little remote, it could still be found as long as one put their mind to it. There was no guarantee that no one would find the bodies of the bandits.
If there was someone who was good at tracking, they might be able to follow the tracks.
Although the probability wasn’t very high, for MO Ruyue, who was used to being cautious, it was already an instinct to not leave any traces and forge them. Besides, it wasn’t difficult for them to do it.
She and Gu Ying were both able to use martial arts to step on the snow without leaving a trace. Even if someone could really follow them all the way here, they would never expect her to have a space to store the carriage.
For the pursuer, he could only see two situations.
Those who were less skilled saw the carriage heading south.
Those who were more skilled could see that the carriage had disappeared into thin air and would not leave any traces behind.
After carefully sweeping away their and Gu Ying’s footprints, the two of them immediately ran in the direction of the survivor’s village.
About two hours later, a carriage followed them from the direction they had come from.
A person was walking below with a horse. It was Madam Du, who had always been quiet and sensible.
“Madam Du, you should stop and rest for a while. Let me do it.”
As soon as the carriage door opened, Lin Xu poked her head out and greeted Madam Du.
“It’s getting late. Let’s hurry up. Otherwise, we’ll have to spend the night in the wilderness.”
Madam Du turned her head and said. Her face was intertwined with fatigue and anxiety. From time to time, she looked down to check the traces left on the ground.
“It’s a good thing that Madam Du is here, otherwise we would have been left behind by our benefactor.”
Miss Tian’s voice came from the carriage. She was sitting in the innermost part of the carriage and stretched her neck to look out. Her words were pleasant, but her body was still as steady as Mount Tai.
“Then why don’t you come down and take my place for a while so that I can rest?”
Madam Du’s tone was much tougher when she spoke to Miss Tian now. She directly retorted, making her choke and roll her eyes.
“Sister Du, we didn’t know that your family used to be an escort. We didn’t even know that you were so skilled in martial arts that you could distinguish traces and follow them. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t be able to keep up.”
As Lin Xu spoke, she had already moved to the door and was about to get out of the carriage to replace her.
“That’s right. That’s why we can’t change the person. I think we should catch up with them in one go. Otherwise, if it rains or storms happen and the traces are gone, we’ll be stuck halfway..”
