Chapter 245: Soft hands and feet
The honest driver returned to the room, and the thin driver also got up. Seeing what he was holding in his hand, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
Open the bottle cap naturally, then unpack the pastries and pour the powder in the bottle evenly on the pastries.
After finally repackaging it, the two smiled at each other, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
After a night's rest, Old Man Li has returned to normal. He was frightened when he saw the carriage. The feeling of motion sickness was really uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
Today is only the second day, and they will have to travel for four or five days before reaching Jiunu County.
The carriage was as bumpy as ever, but this time Old Man Li had learned his lesson. He sat at the door of the carriage and opened the curtain a little bit. As the carriage moved forward, cold wind blew in from time to time, which relieved a lot of his dizziness.
Time passed quickly and another day passed. It was getting dark and they arrived at a town. Old man Li wanted to stop and stay for the night.
The honest driver said with a smile: "Big brother, I am familiar with this area. It is not far ahead. There is a small town. We can stay there tonight. This way we can go back earlier."
Hearing the honest driver say this, Old Man Li nodded slightly. If he arrived one day earlier, he would spend one day less. No matter how he calculated it, it was more cost-effective for him: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
"Please sit down. We'll leave now." The moment Old Man Li lowered the curtain, the honest driver gestured to the thin driver behind him.
The thin driver saw this and returned his gesture, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
No one in the Li family noticed anything unusual about the two of them.
The carriage rumbled along for a long distance. It was already completely dark at this time and the speed of the carriage began to drop significantly. A full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the road ahead, but it was not very clear.
"Haven't we reached town yet?" Old man Li's voice came from behind the curtain.
"We should be there soon. I'm so sorry to have disturbed your rest, big brother." The honest driver said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, you can hold on for a while." Old man Li didn't care. After all, the travel expenses had been agreed upon long ago. Even if it was an overnight journey, it would still be seventy cents a day.
"Big brother, you are such a good man." The honest driver said casually, and looked around carefully. There were trees everywhere and no sound could be heard.
After making sure that there was no one around, the honest driver continued, "Big Brother, I just took a closer look. I might have seen it wrong before. The next town is probably still some distance away from here."
"How about this?" The honest driver stopped the carriage, took out the cakes he bought this morning, and said to himself, "Share these two packets of cakes I bought this morning. It's freezing cold and there are children here. Be careful not to freeze them."
Old man Li, as well as Ms. Liu and Ms. Jiang in the carriage behind, all heard his words and felt happy. This was a great relationship. They could ride a little longer and get snacks.
Before Old Man Li could reply, Jiang hurriedly got off the carriage and said, "You are so polite. The child just said he was hungry, and I was thinking about how to get him something to eat. So I won't be polite."
As he said this, he took a box of snacks from the honest driver, turned around and walked back.
Another box of snacks was also taken by Old Man Li: "Thank you, big brother. We can just walk slowly. We are not in a hurry."
After taking the snacks, Old Man Li happily shared them with Li Dajiang and the others. Osmanthus pastry is indeed a local specialty, it tastes great, soft, sweet, and has the aroma of osmanthus. They quickly finished the whole box of snacks.
Li Laosi licked his fingers with satisfaction. They were so delicious. It would be even better if he had another piece.
Mrs. Jiang also took it back to share, but only Old Lady Li ate a small piece, and the rest was shared by the others. Old Lady Li smacked her lips, but didn't dare to give them anything. She could only curse in her heart, "Eat, eat, eat, you are all so weak and useless."
It seemed that God heard the inner cry of Old Mrs. Li, because soon the youngest child, Li Niuniu, said that she was not feeling well and wanted to lie down.
There was only a palm-sized space on the carriage, so there was no room for her to lie down. Jiang held her in his arms, thinking that she was sleepy.
After a while, Li Xiaobao also shouted that he wanted to lie down. He was already a big boy, and there was another child in his arms, so he didn't have time to hold him.
"My dear, just hold on a little longer. We will be at the inn soon and you can have a good sleep then." Jiang could only comfort him softly.
But Li Xiaobao felt so weak that he could not sit still. He was about to fall towards Liu. Liu reached out her hand to support him, and at the same time she noticed that something was wrong with him.
It doesn't look like it's going to sleep. Why would this happen out of the blue? While I was confused, I felt something was wrong with my body.
Her body felt weak, she had no energy, and she couldn't sit still. She felt like she was about to fall down at any moment. It wasn't just her, Jiang felt the same way.
"Oh my God, what happened to me? I was fine." Jiang exclaimed.
Just as Liu was about to say something, she heard the thin driver's voice coming from outside: "Get off the carriage, everyone."
Then they saw the door curtain of the carriage being rudely opened from the outside, and the thin coachman standing outside was looking at them with a sinister look in his eyes.
Jiang and Liu were startled and involuntarily shrank back and forth towards the inside of the carriage. Then they thought that the reason for their physical abnormalities might be because of the box of snacks.
"If you don't get down, I don't mind helping you." The thin driver's tone was cold.
Jiang and Liu could tell from his tone that this man could definitely do what he said. If he, a foreigner, touched their bodies, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?
"I'll be down right away." Liu said tremblingly, with fear in her eyes that could not be hidden. The man in front of her was so scary that he almost scared her to death.
"Be quick." The thin driver snorted coldly.
Liu climbed down from the carriage as quickly as possible, using both her hands and feet, and quickly hid in a corner, hoping that the thin coachman would not pay attention to her.
Because Li Niuniu was young, Jiang had to hold her and support Li Xiaobao. It took a lot of effort to barely get the two of them out of the carriage.
There was only Old Lady Li in the carriage. She was also very scared. She guessed that the two coachmen must have come to rob. No normal coachman would behave like them.
Soon, Old Man Li also discovered something wrong.
Hearing the noise outside, Old Man Li was about to go downstairs to check the situation when the curtain in front of him was suddenly pulled open by someone from outside.
