Chapter 24: Stop Bragging

Translator: Vicky_

“Yiner!”

She immediately asked the little kingfisher through telepathy to investigate the situation in front of them.

“Okay, got it!”

The little kingfisher circled half a circle over the carriage, then flapped its wings and flew away like a bolt of lightning.

“It doesn’t seem right. There seems to be something wrong ahead.”

The driver had been running on the official road for many years, going back and forth between Furong Town and the county. Therefore, he was quite familiar with the road conditions and terrain.

After turning a corner on the mountain road, he heard the fighting from the front. He quickly pulled the reins and ran back at twice the usual speed.

“What happened? Why are you heading backward?”

“What do you mean, man?”

After sitting in the back compartment for a long time, the passengers were not feeling very well. The upset passengers started shouting loudly to express their dissatisfaction.

“Why are you yelling? People were being killed in the front. Do you guys want to die?”

The driver was a strong man in his thirties, with a big arm and a round waist. Hearing his roar, the people stopped complaining in an instant.

The carriage went back two miles. No one was following them. The driver took a few deep breaths and stopped the horse.

When the carriage stopped, people in the carriage jumped outside one after another. Some of them shivered and went to hide in the woods. Some of them squatted on the grass. Their legs and feet were too weak to move.

“Yuyu, dear baby, are you scared?”

Li Xiu’e jumped out of the carriage and hugged Su Qingluo. She smelt the unique fragrance of her daughter and became quite relieved.

“Mom, I’m fine.”

“Mom, you don’t have to be scared of this.” Su Qingluo obediently hugged Li Xiu’e, rubbed her mother’s forehead with her little head, and comforted her mother.

The soft and sweet voice of Su Qingluo pacified Li Xiu’e. She hugged her daughter and subconsciously responded, “I’m not scared, baby.”

“Mom! Sis!”

“Xiu’e!”

Su Hu, Qiaoqiao, and Doudou jumped out of the carriage and came toward Su Qingluo and Li Xiu’e. The three of them surrounded the two women and looked at Su Qingluo with worried eyes.

“I’m fine, dad, sis, bro. Don’t worry about me.”

Su Qingluo smiled at the three of them.

“Well, thank god you are fine. Next time, don’t be so willful. It’s dangerous to sit on the front shaft of the carriage. The carriage runs so fast. You are lucky that you didn’t fall off the carriage. Your mother is worried about you all the way.”

Su Hu deliberately pulled his face. He seemed to be scolding Su Qingluo, but in fact, he was also worried about her.

“Well, okay. I know it now. Please don’t be angry at me, dad”

Su Qingluo nodded her head repeatedly with a smile.

She was so cute that nobody would want to scold her.

“Yuyu is so blessed. She is totally fine after sitting on the front shaft of the carriage.”

Su Hu immediately stopped being angry. Then, he started bragging about her daughter.

“Enough. If you keep doing this, she will be overproud!”

Li Xiu’e patted Su Hu. She then turned around and walked away with Su Qingluo in her arms.

“Haha. I was just telling the truth. Yuyu is a good girl. She is the best.”

Su Hu touched his nose and smiled. Then, he followed Li Xiu’e with his other two kids.

The five of them found a clean lawn on the roadside and sat down. They were waiting for the driver to ride the carriage again.

“Hey, driver, what happened in front of us? Are we going to the destination later?”

“There are no houses around. We can’t just wait here.”

After the carriage stopped at the roadside for a while, the passengers riding in the carriage gradually got nervous. Someone started asking questions and immediately, another one followed. Their voices became louder and louder.

The driver was speechless. He was more worried than anyone else. However, he did not know what had happened, either. He did not dare to restart the journey right now.
