Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

As the two of them were talking, the team behind them slowly caught up.

Before setting off, Shen Li secretly placed some corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the carriage.

This was because Bai Jin had carefully warned her that magical things like the storage bag must not be shown to others easily, and must be kept secret, otherwise it would easily bring trouble to herself and bring about unnecessary disasters.

Shen Li later thought about it carefully and felt that his previous considerations were indeed inappropriate.

After all, we are living in a feudal society now, and people's hearts are treacherous. In the eyes of those who regard human life as worthless, once a magical treasure like a storage bag appears in the world, it is hard to guarantee that it will not arouse their covetousness, and they will kill people and seize the treasure by any means necessary.

For your own safety and peace of mind, keeping it secret is undoubtedly the wisest move.

Fortunately, apart from his family, only Bai Jin, an outsider, knew about it!

At this moment, Bai Jin's always loyal personal servant Liu An actually caught up with him.

Seeing this, Bai Jin couldn't help but look puzzled. This time when he returned to Beijing, he clearly left Liu An in Qingshan Town on purpose and did not let him accompany him.

Liu An hurriedly dismounted, and with a plop, he knelt on the ground. His eyes were red, and he said in an anxious and determined tone, "Sir, I have been thinking about this all the way, and I am really worried about you going on the road alone.

Ever since I was eight years old, I have been arranged to stay by your side. Over the years, I have served you day and night and have never left your side.

If you don't bring me with you this time, I will feel like I have lost my soul and cannot sleep or eat.

So even though I know this is inappropriate, I won't care. If you get angry and want to hit or scold me, I won't complain and will accept it all."

Bai Jin lowered his head and stared at the servant who had been with him since childhood, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Looking back on the past, Liu An was arranged by his stepmother to live with him when he was eight years old. After so many years of living together, although they were master and servant, they also had a special friendship.

I never thought that since I didn't bring him back to Beijing this time, he would chase me so desperately.

Bai Jin slowly raised his head and looked at the road ahead which was shrouded in the night and was gray. There seemed to be a thousand thoughts intertwined in his mind, and for a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

After pondering for a long time, he finally said, "I'll record this for now because you disobeyed orders and came here without authorization." After that, he turned and walked towards the place where he planned to set up camp.

After hearing this, Liu An showed a bit of embarrassment on his face and quickly got up from the ground.

His eyes rolled around, and he hurriedly followed, saying anxiously, "Sir, are we going to set up camp here now?

"I remember that the official post station is ten miles ahead. Why don't we stop there instead of spending the night in the wilderness?"

Bai Jin paused and slowly turned to look at Liu An. His gaze was like a cold sharp blade, so sharp that it made Liu An's heart jump suddenly. He subconsciously shrank his neck and dared not say another word.

But before he could recover from his shock, he saw that the young master's expression suddenly became gentle again, with a hint of helplessness and concern in his eyes.

Bai Jin said softly to him, "We have been traveling non-stop for a whole day today. Miss Shen is already weak and suffers from motion sickness. She is exhausted now and is not fit to continue traveling. We must stop and rest.

This is settled, you don’t need to say anything more.”

Liu An quickly restrained his expression, bowed respectfully, and replied with his head bowed, "Yes, sir."

After Bai Jin turned around and continued walking forward, Liu An finally stood up, but his face was full of anxiety, and he thought to himself: "Oh, what should I do?

The Second Young Master had carefully planned everything, waiting for the First Young Master to pass by the trap tonight. Who could have thought that the First Young Master would decide not to leave? Wouldn't the Second Young Master's plans all go to waste? "

As he thought about it, Liu An couldn't help but secretly blame Shen Li in his heart, cursing inwardly: "Humph, it's all the fault of that little girl Shen Li. If she hadn't been carsick and held back, how could the eldest young master stay here? Now, good, she's ruined the second young master's good fortune!"

As for Shen Li, she saw everything that happened here clearly, and she couldn't help but feel confused.

She thought to herself: Although it is true that I feel a little carsick, I am not so weak that I can't continue on my journey.

What's more, after she secretly drank a few mouthfuls of the water from the space pool, she felt that the water was sweet, clear and delicious. It was as if a strange power instantly flowed through her body, and her whole spirit felt much better.

At this point, her long-held guess was confirmed. It seemed that the water in this space was not ordinary water. It must have some magical effect. However, she didn't know to what extent this effect could work.

At this moment, Bai Jin was already certain that the road ahead must be full of strange things.

However, he was not panicked at all. After all, he had a plan to deal with it and everything was under his control.

In fact, ever since his stepmother arranged for Liu An and others to come to him, he has never really let down his guard.

Stepmother Li was a deep-minded person. Bai Jin knew that she had no good intentions in arranging these people to come here.

So, in the past few days, he cleverly used various excuses to send everyone away one after another.

However, considering that the Li family would certainly not give up and would definitely make other arrangements in the future, he deliberately left Liu An behind, thinking that after so many years of getting along with each other, they should have some affection for each other, and perhaps he could use Liu An to be of use to him, or he could use him to find out some of the movements of the Li family.

However, he did not expect that human hearts are so unpredictable. After so much time has passed, Liu An is still an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

At the critical moment, he was probably only thinking about what Li and his second brother had told him to do, and completely disregarded the relationship between master and servant.

Just tonight, when Bai Jin was riding his horse and staring at the dark road ahead, suddenly, his heart began to beat violently without any warning. The "thumping" heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent night, as if it was about to burst through his chest.

In his eyes, the dark road seemed to have turned into a ferocious mouth, carrying an endless sense of oppression, weighing heavily on his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

This situation wasn't accidental for Bai Jin. Ever since he was a child, he'd possessed this rather strange ability: whenever something bad was about to happen, his heart would feel like it was being clenched by an invisible hand, sending a wave of throbbing pain through him, as if giving him a warning in advance.

Over the years, he has repeatedly avoided many potential crises with this special sense.

So this time, he still followed his previous rules of conduct and decisively decided to stop and not continue on his journey, so as not to rashly step into the unknown danger.
