Chapter 56: It’s getting dark

Everyone took a rest and continued moving forward.

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

Her physical strength has reached its upper limit, and she cannot leave without resting for an hour or two.

Gu Fei was sitting in the carriage, massaging Lanzhi’s calves. The old lady snorted as she watched.

She clearly remembered what Lanzhi said before. It cost one thousand and eighty taels of silver to redeem this girl, and Xiao Fei also paid two hundred taels.

Two hundred taels!

How many years could they eat without worry?

This girl has a lot of money hidden, so she gives her a sheepskin coat!

She was her biological grandmother, but she was treated worse than a poor young lady!

Also, this young lady from the Marquis Mansion was bought by their family. Shouldn’t she be their maid? Why was she still being taken care of by Gu Fei?

Gu Fei was a member of their family, while Lanzhi was an outsider. The old lady can still clearly distinguish between the inside and outside.

The old lady couldn’t stand it and couldn’t help but say: “I, an old lady, have a sore back after sitting in the car for a long time, but no one helped me.”

Lanzhi was very well-behaved and said quickly: “Old lady if you don’t feel well, I’ll massage you.”

The old lady snorted: “I don’t feel comfortable anywhere. This carriage is so bumpy that my bones will fall apart!”

Lanzhi quickly pressed her small hands on the old lady’s waist.

At this time, Xiao Cao said with a milky voice: “Aunt, I will massage you too.”

Xiao Cao’s hands were soft and without any strength when she massaged Gu Fei’s legs. Gu Fei only felt itchy and couldn’t help but giggle, “Xiao Cao, stop pressing it, I can do it by myself.”

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

After riding in the carriage for half an hour, Gu Fei got out and continued walking.

Lanzhi also came down. She knew her current status. In short, she couldn’t go out of her way. Gu Fei couldn’t walk, so she rode into the carriage earlier.

Along the way, Uncle Ma stopped two more times. When it got dark, Uncle Ma did not stop and continued walking forward.

The village chief sent his eldest son Gu Jinsheng to ask Uncle Ma: “Uncle Ma, my father asked how long we have to go. We are hungry, and the mule can’t bear it anymore.”

Uncle Ma looked at the sky and shook his head. “We can’t rest yet. Everyone is walking too slowly. We should walk more than 100 miles a day. B today, we only walked 50 or 60 miles in the whole day.”

“At night, we can’t stay in the wilderness unless we have no other choice. There are wolves. There is an inn about 10 miles ahead. We can rest there after we get there.”

Gu Jinsheng went to talk to the village chief dejectedly.

Bao’er couldn’t bear it for a long time and climbed onto his sister’s back again.

Gu Fei said nothing more. After all, Bao’er was still young and must have been unable to walk. 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 carriage. The women in the family, as well as Mrs. Li, all took turns to get up and rest for a while, then got down and continued walking. They can still hold on for now.

Gu Fei looked at Mrs. Qian, gasping for air and moving with difficulty.

Along the way, she looked at the Gu Family’s mule carriage several times. She probably wanted to get on the cart and have a rest, but she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

If it was someone else, Gu Fei would have asked her to get in the car and have a rest, but Mrs. Qian’s mouth was too venomous, so Gu Fei was not so kind.

The sky soon became completely dark.
