Yue Ji

Chapter 8
After such a toss, the sun sank to the west, and only the last ray of light emerged from the clouds, passed through layers of forests, and reflected on Wei Luo's body, face, and the ancient yellow dust road behind him.

Wei Luo picked up a branch from the side of the road, propped it on the ground as a crutch, and walked forward step by step.

Time passed quickly, and when Wei Luo was still surrounded by dense trees and no one could be seen, it was getting late and the sun had completely sunk into the horizon.Between the woods and the official road, there is a thin layer of mist.

That night, the calls of all kinds of insects and animals were particularly ear-piercing and desolate.

Wei Luo's body went numb, and his feet quickened a little.It's a pity that her foundation is too poor. Although this movement is a little faster, it is just a snail crawling into an ant crawling.

Time passed little by little, and unconsciously, the last ray of light in the sky was also passing away.Gradually, the pale crescent moon in the sky became conspicuous and brightened.

Wei Luo looked up at the crescent moon, at the faint shadows in the moon. Looking at it, her thoughts were flying, as if she had returned to a few years ago, when she was a little girl, and she still longed to be able to fly. Go to the moon to find out if those shadows belong to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.Gradually, Wei Luo found that he was walking while looking at the moon like this, and those insects and beasts were not so scary when they heard the whistle.

Just as Wei Luo was looking at the bright moon and wandering thousands of miles away, there was another faint sound of horseshoes.

Is someone here again?
Wei Luo couldn't tell whether it was joy or surprise, she quickly turned her head to look.

On the official road blocked by the forest in the distance, a row of flames came into her eyes like a long snake!
The flames meandered for several miles, passing through the woods bit by bit into her eyes, and every time the wind blew, a faint hustle and bustle of human voices came into her ears.Wei Luo took a closer look and found that the team was not walking fast.

Very good!
It seemed that there was a large party coming, and it was certainly not robbers, because bandits would not be so large and move so slowly.

Wei Luo looked at the place of the fire with a smile on his face, and thought happily: This team is so strong, if I can go with them, then I don't have to be afraid tonight.

Wei Luo was looking forward to it, so he simply didn't go forward.She walked to the side of the official road, found a stone and sat down.As soon as she sat down, Wei Luo turned her head and looked behind her. The woods behind her were dark and cool, and she always felt that something would suddenly jump out and bite her on the back.

The more Wei Luo thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he carried the stone to the middle of the road and sat down.Sure enough, I felt much more at ease after sitting down like this.

The convoy was getting closer and closer, and gradually, the hustle and bustle could be heard. In the hustle and bustle, there were the sound of rolling carriages, the sound of people shouting and laughing, and the neighing of cattle and horses. It was really lively.

As the convoy got closer, Wei Luo's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Gradually, the convoy drove into the official road where she was, and the winding fire dragon clearly appeared in front of her eyes.

Wei Luoang looked up, took a deep breath, and thought emotionally: Judging from the fire dragon, the convoy is at least two or three miles long. I don't know what kind of team it is, but there are so many people?
The convoy was getting closer and closer, gradually, Wei Luo could see the carriage in front of him clearly.The first thing that appeared in her field of vision was a rectangular flag. In the light of the fire, the flag was actually pink. No, there were exactly the same pink flags on every carriage behind.

Not only were the flags made of pink, but Wei Luo also found that the carriages were also very brightly painted, deep red, light red, pink, and even a streak of red.

However, it was night, maybe I couldn't see the truth.

Seeing the convoy getting closer, Wei Luo bowed and moved the stone to the side of the road.

When she placed the stone and stood in the middle of the road again, a knight rode out from the caravan and came straight towards her.

At a distance of several hundred meters, the knight arrived in no time.This is a man in his thirties, with a light beard on his chin, a square face, and a smile in his expression when he looks at people, he looks very kind.

The knight saw the thin and frail Wei Luo standing in the middle of the road at a glance.

Seeing such a child blocking the way, the knight frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "Son, why are you blocking the way?"

Wei Luo showed a shy smile, crossed his hands in a hoarse voice and said, "Brother, I am a Yueren who lost his way with my companions. I am here alone in the dark and windy night. I saw my brother's convoy when I was very frightened." , happily walked to the middle of the road, please don’t blame me, big brother.”

The knight stared at Wei Luo closely, wondering if he listened to her words.

After staring at it for a while, he raised his head and looked around.It's pitch black everywhere, where can he see anything?
Wei Luo looked at the knight expectantly, she could feel that the man in front of him was not at ease at all, could it be that he thought he was the bait sent by the robbers or something?However, after finally meeting such a team, she must go with them, and it would be best if she could join their team.

Wei Luo still has lingering fears about meeting bandits just now. She doesn't know if she will meet bandits again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?Besides, she no longer has much coins to use. At this time, the only way out for her is to join a team to eat and drink, even doing odd jobs.

At this moment, neither of them spoke, and the convoy was getting closer and closer.

After a while, a boy's voice came from the motorcade, "Brother Lou, who is this?"

Brother Qilou waved his hand to the back when he heard the words, and said loudly: "A thin and lonely child."

Having said this, he pulled the reins, turned around and was ready to return to the team.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wei Luo hurriedly saluted with both hands, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Brother Lou, the night is silent, tigers and wolves are scary, I beg you to take in the villain."

She said this in one breath, and when she saw Brother Lou's figure, she paused, then raised her voice, and said loudly again: "The villain can read, can calculate, and comes from a virtuous background. Now I just want a shelter, don't you?" Even if I put my body into the mouth of a beast, I beg Brother Lou to be merciful." She spoke eloquently, her voice was clear and pleasant, she sounded like she was asking for help, but there was no trace of humbleness in her demeanor and face.

The eldest brother Lou couldn't help turning his horse around, and turned his head to look seriously at Wei Luo.

At this moment, a woman's soft and pleasant voice came from within the convoy of 40 meters away, "Louju, this boy is elegant in conversation and generous in manner. It seems that he is from a virtuous family as he said, so you can accept him." Bar."

Lou Ju frowned slightly when he heard the words, he looked at Wei Luo seriously, in the darkness, Wei Luo's pupils were as black as spots of paint, clear and clear, after a few glances, Lou Ju nodded and said: "That's good."

As soon as the phrase "Ye Hao" came out, Wei Luo couldn't help exhaling a long breath of joy, his body softened, and he almost fell to the ground.
