Chapter 123 Finally caught up
"Yes, it seems that good times are not far away from us."
When Cai Lihua said this, Meng Shaode had already gone to the carriage to hold the watermelon.
Several people were squatting around a watermelon, their eyes were bloodshot.
Iron Hammer slowly stretched out his hand, poked it with his finger, added his fingers, and looked at A Niang:
"This is so big."
"The last one." Meng Shaode said this, his tone obviously low.
"Sigh... If I had known better, I wouldn't have eaten it for those beasts." Cai Lihua said angrily:
"A bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, huh."
As he said that, he cut the watermelon open with a knife.
Meng Shaode took a step back and looked at his wife in panic, as if to say: I think I didn't say anything wrong or did anything wrong.
"Eat!" Cai Lihua handed a piece of watermelon to Meng Shaode, frightening him into thinking.
When he got it in his hand, he started to chew it.
"Now that the distribution is over, we have to hurry up. Lao Meng, how many days did you say it would take us to Liu County?"
Cai Lihua really just hates those snobbish people, and she doesn't say anything about how she treats her man.
"It will take at least two days." Meng Shaode obediently opened his fingers and calculated the time:
"But if you travel day and night, you can get there in a day and a half."
He has run escorts before and is quite familiar with the road conditions.
"Then after we finish this meal, we won't rest and go directly to Liu County to have another full rest."
When Cai Lihua said these words, it meant that she spent the whole day and night on the carriage.
"Ouch... I'm so exhausted that I finally caught up with you, Mr. De."
Ma Dabiao suddenly appeared in the woods like a ghost.
Ah Jiu's pupils shrank, and when he looked back, he saw that Ma Dabiao and Song Fengshou's clothes were in tatters, and they looked like each other.
But why so fast? It doesn’t make sense.
Meng Shaode and his wife looked back.
It didn't matter. Ma Dabiao and Song Fengshou fell to the ground with their hands on their shoulders and knees.
"How did you catch up?"
Cai Lihua realized something was wrong and was so frightened that she almost lost her grip on the watermelon in her hand.
The horse with four hooves came running wildly and caught up with him.
"Sister-in-law, we... we climbed mountains along the way. Others were slow, so Brother Ma and I were asked to chase alone. It lasted a day and a night... Our feet were worn out, and the branches on our bodies were pulling on us... Oh!
"
When they said this, the two fell to the ground holding each other, and the only sound left was breathing.
Ah Jiu deliberately paid attention to the feet of the two uncles. Uncle Ma still had one straw sandal left, which was in tatters and hung on the foot.
Uncle Song's feet were bare and covered with blood.
"Uncle Song, don't move." Ah Jiu stepped forward and took out the water bag:
"Uncle, drink some water."
Song Fengshou's eyes were unpredictable. They chased the carriage all day and night without drinking a drop of water.
Seeing the water now is like a dream.
"Good girl, uncle... drink." Song Fengshou's eyes turned red, he took the water bag and drank a few sips:
"Ma Dabiao, drink some."
Ma Dabiao took it and drank a few mouthfuls.
Meng Shaode looked at his wife's face and muttered: "My daughter is the only one with a good heart. If it were me, I wouldn't bother to care about you."
Meng Shaode told his daughter-in-law what was on her mind to prevent her from being upset and angry at him.
Song Fengshou and Ma Dabiao recovered after drinking water.
"Master De, what do you mean by this are you planning to take care of us?"
Although he was taking advantage of a loophole, Ma Dabiao still smiled widely.
"We will follow you from now on." Song Fengshou added, his eyes were full of energy, but they soon dimmed:
"Master De, we ate bark all the way. During the best time, we killed two rabbits. The blood was used as water diversion, and the meat was used to satisfy our hunger. But there are too many people. If one person can share a bite, it is a day's ration. Really
Yes, I can’t live anymore.”
"In the past few months, we have been worse than dogs. If it hadn't been for that watermelon from Mr. De, we might have died of thirst. The more we drank the rabbit blood, the thirstier we became and our heartburn..."
Ma Dabiao got up in confusion and sat there with a lonely look in his eyes.
