Chapter 179 There is a ghost
Ye Chuxue's face was filled with suspicion as she stared at the two little guys in front of her. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a serious yet inquiring light as she slowly asked, "What's going on? Why are you two so excited just because I'm leaving?"
Ye Xiaotuan's heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought that something was wrong. He knew very well that his performance just now was too obvious.
However, this little fellow was quite clever. His eyes rolled around, and his face instantly changed into a pitiful and extremely aggrieved expression. He curled his lips,
He said, "Mother, please don't misunderstand me! How can we be happy? You have been gone for several days, and we don't know when you will come back.
We are simply afraid that revealing our inner worries and reluctance would only make you more worried."
However, Ye Chuxue was not someone who could be fooled so easily. She obviously did not believe what her son said at all.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Ye Xiaotuan with a half-smile, and asked softly, "Oh? Is that really the case?"
At this moment, Ye Xiaoyuan, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ran to Ye Chuxue, throwing herself into Ye Chuxue's arms, holding Ye Chuxue's waist tightly with her two little hands and refusing to let go.
She raised her tear-stained little face and sobbed, "Of course it's true, mother! Xiao Yuanzi doesn't want you to leave at all! From childhood to adulthood, I have never been separated from mother for so long... Wuwuwu..."
When she talked about sad things, her tears burst out like a flood, falling down continuously, and soon wet a large area of Ye Chuxue's clothes on her chest.
Just then, a slender figure walked over quickly.
Ouyang Zhi walked hurriedly over, then slowly squatted down, carefully and gently held Ye Xiaoyuan in his arms.
A hint of heartache that was hard to conceal suddenly flashed across his eyes that were as deep as a pool of water.
Then, he took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped Ye Xiaoyuan's tear-stained face.
At the same time, he coaxed her softly in an extremely gentle voice, "Okay, little Yuanzi, be good and don't cry. The reason your mother left temporarily this time is actually to rescue the suffering people at the border.
As soon as the disaster at the border is resolved, I, your uncle, will immediately send someone to welcome you and your daughter to reunite.
Then, let's go back to the Eastern Liao Kingdom happily together, okay?"
After saying this, Ouyang Zhi raised his head slightly, and cast a look full of concern and care towards Ye Chuxue who was standing beside him, and said slowly: "Xue'er, why don't you just take these two cute little guys with you.
This way, it will also be a good opportunity for Father and Mother to meet their two clever little grandchildren."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaotuan, who had been lowering his head and sobbing silently, suddenly had his eyes lit up and suddenly raised his head.
In those big eyes as clear as water, there was a faint glimmer of heart-warming expectation.
However, facing Ouyang Zhi's proposal, Ye Chuxue shook her head without hesitation.
She said with a determined look, "Absolutely not! This journey is long and arduous, and there's no telling how many unforeseen difficulties, obstacles, and potential crises we'll encounter along the way.
They are still young and their bodies are so weak and delicate that they really can't withstand such a long journey.
If something goes wrong along the way, how can I feel at ease? Therefore, I absolutely cannot take them with me!"
At that moment, Ye Xiaotuan's cute little face, which was originally full of excitement, suddenly collapsed as if all the joy was suddenly taken away.
However, this loss did not last long, and his little face soon returned to normal.
Ye Xiaoyuan, who was standing aside, seemed particularly sensible. She blinked her big watery eyes and said to Ye Chuxue in a baby voice, "Mom, don't worry, we will definitely wait for you to come back.
Please be careful on the road and take good care of yourself!"
After saying that, he nodded vigorously, as if this could make Ye Chuxue feel more at ease.
Hearing the children's caring words, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.
She gently stroked the two children's heads and then gently reminded them, "My dears, be obedient. If you encounter any problems, remember to ask the housekeeper for help, okay?"
After receiving affirmative responses from the children, Ye Chuxue turned around and got on the carriage.
Ouyang Zhi and Yun Muheng, who had been watching all this silently from the side, looked at each other, then turned over and jumped onto the horse with a nimble movement.
With a wave of the whip in the driver's hand, the group of people galloped towards the border in a mighty manner.
Time flies, and night has quietly fallen in the blink of an eye.
When they were about to find an inn to rest for a while, suddenly, a shrill scream came from the back of the team.
Everyone turned around and saw the coachman who was pulling the carriage running towards Yun Muheng with a look of fear on his face.
The coachman was already pale with fear at this time. He stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at the carriage behind him, while gasping for breath and stammering incoherently shouting.
"Prince, this is bad! There's a ghost! That s-sack is actually moving, and it's making weird noises!"
Yun Muheng's originally handsome face was now covered with dark clouds, as gloomy and frightening as the sky before a storm.
His brows furrowed, his eyes gleaming with anger as he sternly declared, "This is sheer nonsense! With me here, how can I allow those evil spirits to run wild and unchecked?"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Muheng glared at the groom fiercely. His eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire. The groom was so scared that he trembled all over and took a few steps back involuntarily.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Muheng no longer paid attention to the coachman, but took big strides and walked quickly towards the last carriage.
Seeing this, Chen Yu, who was standing by, felt nervous and hurriedly followed Yun Muheng.
He reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword he carried with him, holding it tightly, as if ready to deal with any dangerous situation that might arise at any time.
As Yun Muheng gradually approached the carriage, his eyes fell on the sacks on the carriage.
I saw a huge stone pressing heavily on the sacks, and what was strange was that the sacks were shaking constantly, as if some unknown force was trying to break free from them.
The sack was shaking more and more violently, as if some living creature was trying to push it away, but the boulder was too heavy and kept pressing down on it.
At this moment, the groom also came over trembling and terrified. His face was filled with fear, and he said to Yun Muheng in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I really didn't lie!
Everything was fine on the road before, but as soon as the carriage stopped, I saw this situation, and... I even heard a faint cry! "
Yun Muheng's brows were tightly knitted together, his deep eyes staring at the slightly shaking sack, his heart filled with suspicion and curiosity.
He took a few steps forward, trying to observe the mystery more clearly, but at this moment, the sack suddenly became quiet, as if the previous movement was just an illusion.
However, just as Yun Muheng was about to give up his investigation and opened his mouth to speak, a faint voice came into his ears.
At first, the sound was extremely faint, as erratic as a candle in the wind, but as time passed, it gradually became clearer - it was actually the cry of a little girl: "Daddy, father, save me..."
Yun Muheng's whole body trembled as if he was struck by lightning. After he heard it clearly, his face turned pale in an instant, without a trace of blood.
His originally narrow and sharp eyes were now wide open, like two huge copper bells, and the eyeballs in his eye sockets were almost about to pop out.
Shock, panic, anxiety and many other emotions intertwined together, causing his breathing to become rapid.
His lips trembled as he stammered, "Chen Yu! Quick! Move this stone away! I... I think I heard Xiao Yuanzi's voice!"
