The weather was freezing cold and it was snowing heavily. Bai Yin did not want to meddle in other people's business.
He had only come out to practice his swordsmanship because he felt bored in the house.
He wanted to get some fresh air!
However, when he heard that it was the Duke, he could not ignore him!
After all, he had left the city a few days ago with the help of Miss Zhao.
Now that he was in trouble, he could not turn a blind eye.
Kindness must be repaid.
He sheathed his sword and raised his eyebrows, "Bring me there."
The coachman was grateful.
"Thank you, hero. Thank you, hero."
He thanked him profusely.
As the saying goes, providing charcoal in snowy weather was equivalent to helping someone in life and death!
The coachman led the horse and hurried over with Bai Yin. Zhao's maidservant saw the coachman from afar and saw him leading the horse. She said happily, "Coming, coming. Miss, the horse is back." As she spoke, she saw that there was another person behind the coachman. Her smile tightened and she shook Zhao's wrist, "But...
Why is there another person? "
Another person?
Zhao'er raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on Bai Yin.
Huh?
How could it be him?
Did he not leave the city in disguise?
Why was he here?
Where was Brother Jing?
Her heart was full of doubts, but the coachman had already led the horse over and said, "Miss, it's all thanks to this hero's help that we managed to capture our horse. Otherwise, it would have disappeared into the forest."
Zhao looked at the "hero" the coachman mentioned.
Bai Yin also met her gaze.
Their eyes met.
There was an indescribable feeling in their eyes.
Zhao lowered her eyes and bowed, "Thank you, young master."
Bai Yin looked at the skinny and blushing Zhao. It was cold in the mountains. No matter how much she covered herself, she would not be able to withstand it.
She felt a sense of pity for her.
He said, "You don't have to thank me, Miss Zhao."
The maidservant widened her eyes and said in surprise, "What... So you know our young miss?"
Zhao 'er continued, "This young master is one of Big Brother Jing's men."
The maidservant nodded in understanding.
Bai Yin asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao replied, "A few days ago, I left the city to pray at the temple. I just came back today, but... the carriage got stuck in the mud and couldn't move."
"Oh!"
Zhao 'er didn't mention anything about helping him at the city gate.
Bai Yin did not mention it either.
He thought that the young lady in front of him might not have recognized him when he was in disguise.
The coachman said, "It's really fate. It turns out that the great hero and my young lady have known each other for a long time."
Bai Yin's eyes turned cold as she asked, "Where's the carriage?"
"It's over there." The coachman pointed in the direction of the forest.
The few of them went over together and saw that the carriage was stuck in the snow and had already overturned.
And the wheels were broken.
It was impossible to conjure a wheel out of thin air in a short period of time.
Bai Yin frowned and said, "The wheels can't be used anymore. We can't move."
"Ah?" The coachman was worried. He clapped his hands together and asked, "What should we do now?"
He paced back and forth a few times.
Bai Yin could not bring them to the old mansion to avoid exposing their whereabouts.
But he couldn't abandon them either.
He glanced at the trembling Zhao 'er.
He looked at the horse and said, "There is only one way."
"What?"
He said to the groom, "Now ride back to the town, and fetch a carriage."
The coachman opened his mouth awkwardly, "But … I don't know how to ride a horse."
What?
The groom doesn't know how to ride?
Bai Yin was having a headache.
He then looked at Zhao 'er and asked, "What about you?"
Zhao 'er shook his head.
Ever since she was born, her hands had never done any chores. She stayed in the mansion all day and was waited upon by the servants.
How could he know how to ride a horse!
The girl was so worried that tears welled up in her eyes. "Aiya, what should we do now? If we continue to stay here, what should we do if Miss gets frostbite? " The coachman begged, "Hero, this is the wilderness. The carriage is overturned and the wheels are broken. It's really hard to move. I don't know how to ride a horse! Since you are acquainted with my family's young miss, and I trust you, then … I'll have to trouble you to make a trip.
Yes. "
Does he mean for Bai Yin to return to the city and call for a carriage?
But with the current situation, it was impossible for him to enter the city!
Indecision.
Seeing that he didn't agree, the maid cried and begged, "Young Master, our Miss has been weak and sickly since she was a child. If we don't return to the city as soon as possible, her body won't be able to take it. Please help us."
Zhao 'er didn't know what to say.
Given the current situation, he could only rely on Bai Yin.
However —
Bai Yin seemed to have another idea.
Since he couldn't enter the city, then …
He suddenly looked at Zhao 'er and asked, "Are you afraid of horses?"
"Hmm?"
"I asked you, are you afraid of horses?"
Zhao 'er nodded.
"It's fine, I'll bring you along!"
"What?"
Bai Yin suddenly mounted the horse and reached out to Zhao 'er, "Get on!"
"Huh?" Zhao 'er was shocked.
"I'll bring you to the city gates, then you can enter the city and find a carriage. You don't have to stay here in the cold."
This was the only way!
Zhao 'er hesitated as he looked at the outstretched hand.
Men and women should not touch each other!
The maid pursed her lips. She couldn't care less and said, "Miss, you should go back with this young master. Your health is more important."
"But …"
Bai Yin suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
Ah!
Zhao 'er quickly shook his head.
"Then come on up."
Zhao 'er bit her lips, which had turned purple, and her fingers were tightly intertwined.
He struggled internally for a while.
Finally, he extended his hand to her.
Bai Yin held her ice-cold hand and pulled her up onto the horse, sitting in front of her.
He held the reins with both hands and shielded Zhao 'er in front of his chest.
Zhao 'er was stunned.
She was shocked.
However, when her cold back was pressed against Bai Yin's warm chest, she felt extremely safe.
It felt as if something was about to fly out of her mouth …
Was it a butterfly?
She bit her lips and did not dare to breathe.
Her heart was tense.
She felt as if she was suffocating.
Bai Yin took out a fire starter from his waist and tossed it to the coachman. He pointed in a direction in the woods and instructed, "You guys go there and gather some dry wood. Make a fire and wait."
The coachman bowed. "Then I'll have to trouble you to take good care of my young miss."
She nodded and tightened her legs around the horse's abdomen.
The horse galloped away.
He did not ride too fast for Zhao 'er's sake.
Zhao 'er gripped the saddle tightly with both hands.
Her face was flushed.
Her heartbeat quickened!
She glanced sideways at Bai Yin from time to time but was careful.
The two of them did not speak along the way.
Bai Yin stopped when they reached the city gates.
He dismounted from the horse and carried Zhao 'er down.
"Miss Zhao 'er, I'll leave you here. You can lead the horse into the city yourself."
Zhao 'er lowered her eyes. "It's better for the young master to lead the horse. I can't let you walk back."
'That's true!
This lady doesn't know how to ride a horse anyway. '
Bai Yin appreciated the gesture.
"Alright, I'll take this horse."
