Chapter 7 Distress
Hearing Mammy Ye's unexpected words, Ning Yu and Yan Shi exchanged glances, and both tried to persuade her patiently. They were saying inside and out that the Ning family attached great importance to her old man. Now that she is here, Just invite her to sit in the town of Ning's house and teach the young lady of the Ning family well.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Ye seemed to be determined after eating the weights, and she refused to eat oil and salt. No matter what Ren Ningyu and his wife said, they had made up their minds to live in the Zhuangzi with Ning Wanzhu and Aunt Shao.In the end Ning Yu had to agree.

Aunt Shao responded, and Ning Wanzhu carefully observed her expression, but saw a stern look in Aunt Shao's eyes, as if she had made up her mind.But Ning Luozi was very unhappy, and turned around to stare at Ning Wanzhu several times.

Ning Wanzhu knew that the Ning family had a Zhuangzi in a foothill of a branch of Funiu Mountain in Nanyang.I only heard people say that Zhuangzi has rich products and simple folk customs, but she didn't live there much in the previous life, probably because it was too remote.

Zhuangzi was far away from Ning's house, if he left after lunch, even if the trip went smoothly, he might not arrive until after dark.When Ning Wanzhu returned to her room, she saw Yan Hui happily packing up her personal belongings.She was very surprised and asked: "Yan Hui, will you also come to live in Zhuangzi with me?"

"Yes!" Yan Hui replied casually while being so busy that he didn't even raise his head.

"Your parents agree?" Ning Wanzhu felt that something was unexpected for a moment, but he didn't expect Yan to get the news so quickly when he came back here.And Yanhui's parents live with Ning's family in Nanyang, she thought Yanhui would not go with her.Unexpectedly, Yan Huixi raised his head diligently, looked at Ning Wanzhu and said: "My parents told me to take care of the second young lady. If it's fun in Zhuangzi, let's play with this young lady in Zhuangzi for a while longer!"

Ning Wanzhu couldn't help laughing at Yanhui's expectant look.She went back to live in Zhuangzi, facing Aunt Shao, and the situation was quite dangerous.Even if Mammy Ye is willing to help, who knows what Aunt Shao will do.Unexpectedly, Yanhui's parents were quite interesting, even saying that Zhuangzi was "fun"...

For a while, the two of them only packed up some of their clothes and packed two bundles, then walked towards the back door of the inner courtyard together.When the female family members of the Ning family went out, they all got into the cart here, and then the cart drove out of the gate of the Ning family.

"Second Miss, look, that's the carriage you're riding in." Yanhui pointed to a tall carriage.The ladies of the Ning family have their own rules when going out, so although Aunt Shao herself has a small car with green cloth and oil flags, Ning Wanzhu will not ride with her.Probably because they didn't expect Madam Ye to go with Ning Wanzhu and the others, the servants of the Ning Mansion were in a hurry to prepare the car for Madam Ye.Therefore, the whole courtyard is in chaos at the moment.The grooms are feeding the horses and preparing hay, while the coachmen are checking the condition of the carts.

Ning Wanzhu's big cart was probably prepared in advance, and no one was looking after it at this time.Ning Wanzhu turned her head, but suddenly found a figure behind her big car, sneaking past.

"What's the matter, you said you were in a hurry when you cleaned up at the beginning, but now you're not in a hurry?" Aunt Shao, who was in charge when Yan returned, couldn't help complaining because she didn't show up for a long time.And Ning Wanzhu stuffed the things in his hands back into his hands, quietly went around behind the cart, and carefully observed the place where the figure had been just now.

The more she looked, the more her heart sank, and she saw a lot of sawdust under the axle of her big cart.Looking closely, the axle of the cart was sawed several deep holes with a wooden saw, but none of them were cut through.In other words, this magnificent car should be fine when it drives out of Ning's house, but if it really drives on the mountain road, or when it is going uphill or downhill...

She didn't dare to think about it for a while, she pretended to be okay, and turned back to Yanhui's side.At this time, Aunt Shao and Nanny Ye hurried over together.Ning Wanzhu suddenly pretended to be a stubborn child, lowered her head and rushed straight into the inner courtyard, but Aunt Shao grabbed her arm from behind—"Second Miss, where are you going?"

"I, I'm going to say goodbye to my parents—" Ning Wanzhu couldn't help but find an excuse to prevaricate.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Shao's strength was so great that she pulled her back in one fell swoop, causing her arm to ache.But Aunt Shao's movements were stiff, but she said some gentle words on her mouth. She said "If you don't get up, it will be late" for a while, and said "Master and Madam are resting right now. If the second lady is disturbed, please turn around." Being scolded again", always trying to stop Ning Wanzhu from returning to the inner courtyard.

In the end, it was Aunt Shao, an adult, who prevailed.She almost carried Ning Wanzhu to the rigged cart and stuffed Ning Wanzhu into it.Yan Hui followed behind, carrying the burdens of two people, and also climbed into the cart.Aunt Shao snapped the panel of the car shut with a snap.

Ning Wanzhu heard the movement, and Aunt Shao respectfully invited Madam Ye and her servants into a cart, and followed her into another cart.So the back door of the Ning family's courtyard was opened.Three cars drove in a long alley one by one, and the big car that Ning Wanzhu was in was at the end.

Seeing that the cart was already moving, Ning Wanzhu couldn't sit still in the cart, jumped up, reached out and tapped on the wooden wall behind the cart to see if there was another exit.

Hearing the commotion inside, the coachman hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Second Miss? But do you feel bored?"

"Well, yes, uncle, does this big car have a place to breathe?" Ning Wanzhu asked without hesitation when his life was at stake.

"As expected of your lady, after walking such a short distance, I feel bored!" The driver driving the car in front laughed and said, "There is a small door on the side, and the lady can open it from the inside. But after opening it, be sure to close the door. Hook on the iron hook, otherwise, if someone falls out from behind, I, Old Wu, will not know at all from the front, it will be terrible..."

Lao Wang was talking about something at the front, and Ning Wanzhu quickly found the door in the carriage of the cart.Yan Hui was in the big car, staring at her, not knowing what her lady was going to do, saying that she just got into the car, why did she get so bored so quickly?

But Ning Wanzhu leaned over and said in Yanhui's ear: "This is a matter of life and death - remember, don't think about anything for a while, just listen to my orders."

Yan Hui looked at Ning Wanzhu who was sitting across from him with round eyes, feeling a little strange.She used to think that this lady, who was two years younger than herself, was a soft persimmon who was neither smart nor thoughtful.This second young lady is usually used to being taciturn, but she is drinking in a low voice at this time, but she does not have a certain power.Although she felt strange, she still nodded involuntarily and said, "I'll listen to you."

Ning Wan and Zhu Jianyan replied yes, heaved a sigh of relief, turned her head and looked out of the cart, while listening to the movement outside the cart.The cart made a rumbling sound and kept moving forward.It sounds like my big car is the last one.

Ning Wanzhu's heart was extremely heavy. If it was Aunt Shao's instruction to do the tricks on the cart, then this Auntie never wanted her to arrive at Ning's Zhuangzi safely, but before arriving at Zhuangzi. , just want to get rid of myself.She always felt that Ning Luozi was always against her in the Ning family. Unexpectedly, this Ning Luozi's biological mother, Aunt Shao, acted more ruthlessly than Ning Luozi, completely reckless.

The axle of this cart was very thick, so the cart drove outside the city for about an hour or two, but nothing happened.Yan Hui was already tired from the bumps in the car, so he couldn't help but fell asleep with the bundle in his arms.But Ning Wanzhu insisted on listening intently to the movement outside the car.

After a while, Lao Wang's voice sounded outside the cart, "Second Miss, sit still, there is a steep slope ahead, no, the horse is about to exert strength—"

Lao Wang's voice hadn't finished yet, just hearing a "click", Ning Wanzhu felt her body suddenly leaned back, and the carriage of the cart seemed to fall backwards.Yan Hui woke up from his sleep, screamed "Ah", and bumped into Ning Wanzhu's body.

Ning Wanzhu was bumped back by the geese, and her body hurt, but she couldn't care about it at this time.She immediately pulled Yan Hui, opened the small door on the side of the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage together with Yan Hui.

——This, I don’t know where this is.After traveling for more than an hour, the cart had already left the downtown area of ​​Nanyang and arrived at the suburb of Funiu Mountain.Looking around, as far as the eye can see, there are hills and dense forests.There is a straight mountain road in front of you, extending to the steep slope ahead.Ye Momo's cart was in front, but it was far away from Ning Wanzhu and the others.And Aunt Shao's cart was further ahead, it was about to turn over the steep slope, and it disappeared.

The coachman Old Wang jumped down to check the damage of the axle, scratched his head, and said, "This is going to be troublesome. How about, two ladies, get in the car and rest for a while, and Old Wang will think of a way?"

But Ning Wanzhu made a quick decision and said, "Yanhui, follow me, we'll catch up to the car ahead of Madam Ye."

Yan Hui was still holding the bundle tightly in his hand, looking at Madam Ye's cart in front of him, he muttered: "How can I catch up, I think it's better to be honest, wait here for old Uncle Wu!"

Ning Wanzhu anxiously raised her head to look at the sky, the sun was already setting, and it would be dark in a while.Ning Wanzhu made a decisive decision and said, "No, hurry up and follow me." As she said that, she pulled Yan Hui's sleeves, and the two little girls rushed towards Madam Ye's cart along the deserted road.

But Ning Wanzhu and Yan Hui are two young girls after all, small in stature and weak in strength, and their feet are slow. They have been catching up for a long time, but they haven't caught up much.Yan Hui was already panting from exhaustion at this time, and said: "Little...Miss, Yan Hui can't run anymore!"

Ning Wanzhu herself was too tired. At this time, seeing Yanhui walking and carrying the two bundles in her hands, she stepped forward to grab the bundles, threw them on the ground, dragged Yanhui, and ran forward. While running, he said: "There is no time to delay." The two girls ran panting and shouted loudly: "Mother Ye, wait for us—"

But even so, the distance between the two of them and the big car in front was too far, and the people in the car in front couldn't seem to hear their shouts.

Seeing the twilight gradually thicken, Ning Wanzhu's heart sank little by little, and she began to despair.Yan Hui was even more startled and tired, crying at the same time while running with Ning Wanzhu.

Just at this moment, the cart in front of Madam Ye seemed to stop suddenly.
