Qinghu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little complicated.
He turned around, covered his mouth with his hands and kept shrugging his shoulders.
“Hey, what are you laughing about?” Finally, Lin Mengya glared at him fiercely and asked. Didn’t people say that women acting pettishly could be lucky? Why did she just become a laughingstock?
“Nothing… Look, I’ve packed some buns for you. It’s not safe to stay here for long. Although that man is sensible, I can’t put my mind at ease.” As Qinghu said, he drew a warm paper packet from his bosom.
Lin Mengya took it immediately, drew a tender soup fried bun out of it, and took a small bite cautiously.
“He’s not an ordinary person. We’d better stay away from him as much as possible. By the way, did you get any news about my father and brother from the Capital City?” She narrowed her eyes and said, seeming to be enjoying the soup fried bun.
However, her taste became less sensitive. Although she didn’t find food tasted no better than tallow, she ate mostly to fill the stomach and could no longer enjoy the food.
“They have left the Capital City safely like us, and they are on their way now. Don’t worry. Given your father’s and brother’s martial arts and wisdom, no one can put them in a difficult situation. But Long Tianyu probably has discovered that you left without saying goodbye. I think you’d better think it over and decide whether to tell him about this,” Qinghu said.
Lin Mengya stopped chewing for a moment. Then she returned to normal and continued gulping the bun in her hand, while saying, “I don’t think it necessary. Let’s continue our journey.”
Watching the stubborn girl’s back, Qinghu shook his head slightly.
In fact, apart from her father and brother, that guy was probably the one Lin Mengya was most concerned about.
However, although she missed him terribly, for some reason, she had to hide her feeling in distress.
“Alright, let’s go,” Qinghu, who never refused Lin Mengya, said and pushed her out of the market.
The painted pleasure boat departed from the dock of Yang City and floated down the stream.
With the replenishment, they could stay on board and didn’t need to disembark for replenishing supplies in half a month.
Apart from being pushed to the deck by Qinghu and basking in the sunshine every morning, Lin Mengya mostly stayed in her cabin and read the books Qinghu gathered from all over the country.
Meanwhile, the snacks and delicacies Qinghu bought along the way were served to Lin Mengya successively.
However, she usually took only a few bites of them. Her diminished appetite made Qinghu frown all the time.
Fortunately, with Baili Rui’s detoxifying pills, she did not become emaciated.
“This book is quite interesting. Why are you looking at me? If you feel bored, just read a book,” in the cabin, Lin Mengya said.
She became increasingly uncommunicative, which made Qinghu a little uneasy.
Nevertheless, Lin Mengya acted normally, and her condition even seemed to be worsening at a slower speed. He was laden with uneasiness.
“It’s alright. We’ll get ashore in three days. After passing through three prefectures of Dajin, we’ll arrive at the port of the Nation of Dongxia by water in a month or so,” Qinghu said.
Given Lin Mengya’s health condition, they had been hurrying on with their journey.
Seeing that Qinghu almost failed to suppress the uneasiness in his eyes, Lin Mengya suddenly smiled, put down the book in her hand and stared at Qinghu with her clear eyes.
“Don’t be afraid. I can make it.” She did not know if she was trying to comfort Qinghu or encourage herself.
No one knew how much worry and fear was hidden beneath her composed expression.
Qinghu took a deep look at Lin Mengya, wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. After giving her some instructions, he turned around and left the cabin.
Lin Mengya leaned against the headboard, closed her eyes and rested her mind quietly.
The sunlight shone through the window onto her face. She looked peaceful and delicate while terrifyingly fragile.
“Commander, we have gotten things done. Please rest assured,” his subordinate whispered in his ear.
Meanwhile, Qinghu seemed to be reluctant to look away from Lin Mengya even for a moment.
“I got it. You may leave,” he said and closed his eyes, seeming to have made an important decision. But then he opened his eyes again with inexplicable emotions.
This time he must keep Lin Mengya alive at all costs.
They disembarked and were going to travel by carriage.
But when she saw the luxurious carriage drawn by four horses in front of her, she couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
There was no very strict rule about this in Dajin.
However, even if she thought about it with her toes, she knew that civilians were definitely unqualified to take a carriage drawn by four horses.
Even those rich and powerful families in the Capital City could take a carriage drawn by three horses at most only if they were related to the royal family.
But now, this guy prepared a carriage as luxurious as that of a duke for her.
Weren’t they supposed to keep a low profile? Now they were going to travel ostentatiously!
“The carriage can’t allow you to sleep comfortably as the painted pleasure boat did, but it’s not too bad. They’ll drive carefully and keep the carriage steady,” Qinghu said.
He, who had been busy, thought that Lin Mengya was worried that she would feel uncomfortable in the carriage.
He didn’t expect that in fact, the carriage he prepared caused Lin Mengya distress.
Lin Mengya forced a smile. Qinghu did this for the sake of her health condition. It was not appropriate for her to be ungrateful.
“That’s good… But fox, I think we should take a smaller carriage. This carriage is too ostentatious,” she said.
Since the day she knew Qinghu, he seemed to have never understood the true meaning of keeping a low profile.
The double-deck painted pleasure boat was ostentatious enough. If they really took this carriage, she could guarantee that before they could go far, Long Tianyu would receive the news of some people taking the carriage they were unqualified to take and their whereabouts would be exposed.
Qinghu glanced at the carriage and then at her, who forced a smile.
Eventually he nodded reluctantly and instructed his subordinates to offer a carriage drawn by two horses.
After getting into the carriage obediently, Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
According to her understanding of Long Tianyu, he must know that Qinghu definitely would treat her generously during their journey.
Therefore, he must have sent his subordinates to inquire where there were luxurious and comfortable vehicles for sale.
Lin Mengya held her knees and sat in the carriage, where the seat was covered with mink fur. Her heart had been beating rapidly these days. She hoped that her family members and companions could be fine.
Traveling by land was faster than traveling by water.
The journey was boring. Lin Mengya had to live a dull life only including eating and sleeping as before.
However, only a few days after they began to travel by carriage, Lin Mengya noticed that Qinghu frowned even more tightly.
She had asked him a few times, but he refused to answer. When she pushed him too far, he just changed the subject.
Today, she saw that Qinghu kept looking back.
Moreover, he didn’t sit in the carriage with her as usual. Instead, he rode on a horse and kept looking around with a serious look.
“It’s strange,” Lin Mengya murmured.
After glancing at Qinghu suspiciously, she placed the book in her hand on the small table, poked her head out of the window and looked back.
Except for a few passing carriages, she found nothing abnormal.
What was Qinghu up to?
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Lin Mengya grabbed Qinghu’s arm and asked in a low voice as soon as they finally had a break after spending the whole morning on the way.
Unexpectedly, Qinghu didn’t hide it this time.
He just looked back again before whispering in her ear, “I suspect that we have been stalked these days. I discovered it on the boat and thought it a coincidence. Unexpectedly, those people keep stalking us after we began to travel by carriage. I’ve sent someone to find out about this. It turns out that we have been stalked by a group of people headed by the man we met in Yang City that day.”
When Qinghu mentioned Yang City, a scholarly-looking and gentle face came into Lin Mengya’s mind.
Although this man was a little strange, she didn’t think he was a villain. Moreover, if he was really her enemy, he had enough time to do harm to her in the red-light district.
Nevertheless, she could not trust anyone but Qinghu outside. Although he was a little unreliable, he was extremely alert.
She involuntarily nudged Qinghu secretly with her elbow and said, “Shall we split up like before? I’ll sneak away secretly and then meet you in front.”
“No, don’t even think about it! You must stay with me, unless I die!” As soon as she said that, Qinghu refused her, leaving no room for negotiation.
She still wanted to say something, but he immediately turned around and left. However, she, who had great difficulty in moving now, would not be able to catch him as long as he was unwilling to be caught.
“We will just wait and see!” After threatening him in rage, Lin Mengya had no choice but to go back to her carriage and sit down.
To be honest, she was a little curious. Although Qinghu had always been overprotective of her, he had not been so jittery with imaginary fear.
What on earth was he hiding?
Since Qinghu discovered that they were stalked, he had been extra careful with the routes he chose.
However, no matter which route he chose, the group of people kept stalking them in a certain distance like carbuncles against the bones, which drove Qinghu a little crazy.
“If they keep stalking us, I’ll kill them! How dare they stalk us? They must be courting death!” Qinghu said.
He, who went crazy, was as oversensitive as a tiger’s butt. Lin Mengya sat in the wheelchair and stared at the group of people not far behind them.
It was strange. Sometimes she thought these people were up to something, but these people merely stalked them.
Sometimes she thought these people were up to nothing, but these people kept stalking them, and no matter how hard they tried to throw off these people, these people would catch up with them.
