Chapter 56 It’s Getting Dark

Everyone rested for a while and continued to move forward.

Gu Fei, Xiaocao, Lanzhi and the old lady were all crowded in the carriage.

Her physical strength had reached the upper limit. She couldn't go on without resting for an hour or two.

Gu Fei sat in the carriage and massaged Lanzhi's calf. The old lady snorted beside her.

She remembered Lanzhi's words clearly before. It cost 1,800 taels of silver to redeem this girl, and Xiaofei also paid 200 taels.

200 taels!

Enough for many years!

This girl must have hidden a lot of silver, so I gave her a sheepskin coat!

I am her grandmother, but I am not as good as a poor lady!

And this lady of the Marquis's Mansion was bought by his family. Shouldn't she be his maid? Why did she let Xiaofei serve her?

Xiaofei is a family member after all, and Lanzhi is an outsider. The old lady still distinguishes the inside and the outside very clearly.

The old lady couldn't stand it and couldn't help saying, "I'm an old woman. I've been sitting in the car for half a day and my back is sore, but no one can massage me."

Lanzhi was very well-behaved and quickly said, "Old lady, where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll massage you."

The old lady snorted, "Nowhere is uncomfortable. This car is so bumpy that my bones are about to fall apart!"

Lanzhi quickly massaged the old lady's waist with her little hands.

Xiaocao said in a baby voice, "Auntie, Xiaocao will massage you too."

Xiaocao's hands were soft and without any strength. When she pressed on Gu Fei's legs, Gu Fei just felt itchy and couldn't help giggling, "Xiaocao, stop massaging, giggle, auntie, do it yourself."

Gu Fei massaged her legs with all her strength. She knew very well that if she didn't massage hard, she might not be able to lift her legs tomorrow.

After being bumped in the car for half an hour, Gu Fei got off the car and continued walking.

Lanzhi also got off the bus. She knew her current status. Anyway, she couldn't do anything out of the ordinary. She couldn't let Xiaofei walk, and she had to take a car.

Along the way, Uncle Ma asked them to rest twice. When it was dark, Uncle Ma didn't ask them to stop and continued to move forward.

The village chief sent his eldest son Gu Jinsheng to ask Uncle Ma, "Uncle Ma, my father asked how long we have to walk. This man is hungry, and the mule can't stand it anymore."

Uncle Ma looked at the sky and shook his head, "We can't rest yet. Everyone walks too slowly. At that time, we could walk more than 100 miles a day. Today, we only walked 50 or 60 miles all day."

"Tonight, we can't stay in the wild unless we have to. We are afraid of wolves. There is an inn about ten miles ahead. We can rest there."

Gu Jinsheng replied to the village chief with his head down.

Baoer couldn't stand it anymore and climbed onto his sister's back again.

Gu Fei didn't say anything else. After all, Bao'er was still young and could not walk anymore. At this time, even if he was given more candy, he would not walk on his own.

It was good that the Gu family had an empty car. Several women in the family, including Li, took turns to rest for a while and then went down to continue walking. They could still hold on for now.

Gu Fei looked at Qian, who opened her mouth and panted, moving her steps with difficulty.

Along the way, she looked at the Gu family's mule cart several times. She probably wanted to get on the car to rest, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

If it was someone else, Gu Fei would have asked her to get on the car to rest, but Qian was too vicious, and Gu Fei was not so kind.

It was dark soon.
